> Something I have noticed is that the more people join a project, the more it begins to go off the rails, and the less productive each member of the team becomes. [...] many of the newcomers spend the bulk of their time, if not actually sabotaging the project, doing the next best thing. They do their best to drive the project in the wrong direction. In so doing, they waste the valuable time of everyone around them who is forced to clean up the messes they leave behind. These are intelligent people, so I do not believe they are incapable of understanding the vision that caused the project to be born. I think, rather, they just don't care. Some call this "not being a team player", but I call it narcissism.

Er... reading this, I would rather suspect the author of "not being a team player". Of course, if other developers find your project interesting and want to contribute, they may have their own features and use cases in mind that don't necessarily overlap with what you have planned, which doesn't however mean that it has to be a "wrong direction". As the owner of the project, you are free to accept their contributions or not, and they are free to fork the project and take it into another direction if you don't like that direction.
I appreciate and respect every user who contributes by asking questions, providing feedback, or sharing suggestions. However, it is disappointing and unreasonable to witness self-promotion from companies that have been established in this industry for a considerable period of time under a startup thread.

Moreover, the fact that their self-promotion does not align with the intention of the original discussion and GGP explains their purpose. Their primary goal is not genuinely assisting or finding a solution.

In such cases, as you can imagine, it's challenging for me to maintain respect.
I forage for mushrooms and I don't get why this is a problem we are even working on.

The solution to people dying from mushrooms is to... not eat them. If people cannot understand that, and we manage to save them, what's to keep them from walking in front of a bus the next day. I mean you can only overcome ignorance only so many times before Darwin eventually wins the game.

I don't want to blame the victim here, but it's not like the mushrooms stalk us and enter our mouths at night while we are sleeping.

Most likely, just as happened with Stable Diffusion, a community of models will emerge. You could use a pre-trained model for writing chrome extensions, or a model for writing material UI using tailwindCSS, or a very specific model for writing 2d games for Android.

Since a lot of this is trial-error, improving on each iteration the feedback loop (compile, deploy, run, etc) will matter a lot more. Real-time development workflows like React should be interesting at the least. Exciting stuff, truly.
Wonder if they'll use the footage for streetview or AV training data.
And attending people travel on foot, sleep in tents, hunt and gather their food while the conventions are held outside in a clearing of the woods or you need something non-ephemeral such as hotels, restaurants, roads, etc.?

The vessel was also (hopefully) non-ephemeral and lasted for many expeditions, but needed repairs, maintenance, etc. and likely its captain and crew were capable of sailing because of the years of experience.

While organizing a convention or a trading expedition can be ephemeral, it is only possible because all the other non-ephemeral and needed businesses exist.
My Interview with Eelco Visser on Parsing
On the other hand, it would fix cases where there are somewhat rare hangs that are hard to reproduce, for example in multithreaded applications embedding Python.
A while ago, I hit a deadlock in LibreOffice's Python extension system. I managed to fix it by changing the GIL to the more modern Python API for that, but I never managed to produce a reasonably small test case, so I didn't submit it.
The author has been burned by this in the past many times. You try to include people who say they want to help.. but when alignment is off it winds up just hurting the project.

I've encountered this with dozens of contributors myself.

> How would you get a Constitution to separate money

Not that I put a lot of effort into this formulation, but how about something like

> A well-informed and reasonable public, being necessary to the security of a working democracy, the right of the people to free and quick access to public information must not be abridged, but protected.

And then back that up with a multi-layer prescriptive dictionary to minimize judicial reinterpretation. The terms "right of the people", "free and quick access", "public information" would defined in layer N, while the terms "right", "people", "free", "quick", "access", "public", and "information" would be defined in some layers N - M.

We've had some centuries now to get better at technical writing, language engineering, and lexicography, to say nothing of IT. We should use them.
I'm intrigued by it
I will start support Linux, where to start
I plan to spend my time to help the open source community. Especially Linux. I will spend my effort to something which will last. What I mean by this is, some base part which Linux / and distorts are built on, E.g:

- Color management (inexistent yet?)
- X11 improvements, , implement missing features, security bugs patches
- Wayland improvements, implement missing features

- Gnome, KDE? DE in general?

Makes this sense? Is there a anywhere a big roadmap, which showed me which are some important stuff which is still to do on Linux?

I found the following, which describe a lot of stuff to improve Linux, this is what I mean:

I realy like to give something back to the OS community

Thanks for any advice!
Very Interesting. One of the big challenges with LLMs is getting well formed JSON output. GPT4 is much better at this. But is very expensive. So anything that can help is good. Looking forward to trying this out locally with LLAMA.
You can get dashcams with both forward- and rearward-facing cameras.

But they're mostly used by trucking companies who want to confirm who was driving, tell them off for distracted driving or if they weren't wearing a seatbelt, and so on.

I think this feature would be unpopular if it recorded the camera facing the driver, once a few bad drivers got punished based on evidence from their own camera.
Easily maybe, but very few PS3/360 games run well with the Steam Deck specs.

Many Switch games run well but not all of them.
You are gently omitting IE which doesn't have this at all. Doesn't matter when others were released, at that time IE had a market share that was non-neligible.

The implementation was originally a university project (financially supported by DARPA) with a team funded to work on that implementation. Scott Fahlman was the lead and it was important for him that the implementation, its documents and its IDE was publicly available.

Steam's family sharing is definitely not as convenient. Especially because their system doesn't so much share games but entire libraries: only one person can use a library at a time. I could be playing a free game like Dota 2 and my entire library will be locked out of my family share. This makes it impossible to actually build a big library that you can share with multiple friends compared to a physical game collection.

I got 4Gigs on my phone and 4x that on my laptop. I don't care about 90megs.

What's the point in looking at size ? I can see two:

- want to email the exe, and you have limits on mail size
- want to be ecofriendly, in that case stop watching netflix for 2 hours and you'll have your megs
That's why you need a Bachelor's degree to be eligible for training, at least in the US Air Force. Edit: They need people who have proven they can study and understand material.
> Japanese do not place nearly as much emphasis on human-to-human relations as much as the west does

This to me is just an offensive and ignorant comment. Just goes to show you that this Orientalist trope still exists. 2nd gen removed you’re practically foreign.

Disclaimer: I’m not Japanese but I’ve been to an obon festival and an onsen, not pachinko parlors.
I have kids, now teens, and I have been running start-ups since long before they were born, and sometimes financed those start-ups by working fairly full-time for clients alongside.

I started my first business before uni, and at uni I regularly worked 18h days and had people work from my room during the day. There was a lot of hard work at times. Maybe a difference was that I put off having kids until quite late, so while things weren't easy, I had a glimpse of stability and agreed with my partner that we could cope!

I do know that I'm not a superhero.
> What happens when a consumer does not understand the producer’s domain and misuses the data?

That's a problem with or without Taxi/Orbital.

Today, it's generally left to consumers to pick the fields that look right, and hope they get it right. That's a risky approach. And, by leaving it to consumers, you run the risk on every new integration.

I think by asking producers to annotate their attributes with a strongly defined semantic contract, you reduce the risk of consumers getting it wrong.

Producers understand their data much better than consumers, so are better informed on how to map their attributes to a set of semantic contracts that consumers can leverage.

So what are the current languages and frameworks that are least likely to soon become “technical debt”? We use Python, Django, Node JS, Next JS, React JS. How do those fare?
Because otherwise you need to implement almost everything yourself - memory allocation, input, output, etc. and anything more complex (like asking for the width of the terminal) requires you to get into Kernel structs, copy them out, translate, and basically copy paste glibc code anyways. And thats just linux.

there's a lot of drama currently with how their bios update is the only fix to burning cpu's and it void's warranty so you lose warranty to fix their mistake. Based on that I won't be getting a ally even though really wanted to.
Is this now making visible the end of the road for x86? In any case reducing energy needs will be a major evolutionary driver going forward. Both because environmental impact will be increasingly priced and the ever growing importance of battery powered mobile devices.
quickly invaded by hordes of people who never really cared about the technology itself, how it works and what it's actually useful for.

Not really disagreeing with you, but maybe Bitcoin wasn't really ever about an alternative currency for buying a few beers, just like gold isn't suited for that purpose. It is certainly possible, if the buyer and seller jump through some hoops to make it happen, as you demonstrated -- but it's slow and expensive for that use case. In the long run, maybe you're the person who really misunderstands what Bitcoin is "actually useful for."
Less, I would say; because using OOP for everything is straightforward, just obtuse, verbose and possibly slow.

You don't have to solve paper-worthy academic puzzles to use OOP everywhere.

Using OOP everywhere has been done and probably continues to in some shops. There was a time in the 1990's when nobody was fired for using OOP everywhere.

In Common Lisp, absolutely every value you can create has a class: the class-of function is meaningful for any value. You can replace all the defun forms in a Common Lisp program with defgeneric and defmethod.
openHAB is very nice and completely OSS.
Phones have multiple lenses and sensors, but they don't have multiple sets of sensor readout capacity. Even when the theoretical maximum pixel througput (as in biggest sensor the SoC can be paired with) is big enough on paper to do all sensors in a time division multiplex, I wouldn't be surprised if the switch wasn't fast enough.

(personally I'd love to have a camera app that did all-lens release for stills, I'm of the "beyond point-and-shoot" school of photography, shoot without much pointing, sort them out later)
Damn that could start a war.
If the person who offered helped had technical chops to scale such project. Why they would approach existing project owner instead of building it themselves?

My explanation is they did not have what is needed like tech skills or they were after taking over existing users.

Idea of scaling something up as author noted usually comes with idea that money will eventually follow. Post author is not money driven so it might be that person offering was also different in that way.

A lot of these search problems are easier to wrap ones head around with the keys analogy: finding a moon around Saturn, or finding a lost ship on the ocean* is like losing your car keys in a field then trying to find them with a pair of binoculars. If you do actually know where they are then you can easily see them with the binoculars but if you need to perform a search it is laborious because of the relative scales.

>It's not up to Valve.

Why not? They develop it. They can also release it.
When I saw the wooden frame construction, I remembered I find it interesting that wood is so affordable in the US. Here in Australia, it's very expensive and often simply unavailable! I have an old door that is made of Western red cedar, and the price to get it repaired was "$noquote - materials unavail" from two different places.

It's not just the price of property that has grown, with younger generations looking to spend more for a smaller house, with a larger deposity and lengthier loan term -- the actual house they are buying is made of very different things. Some are improved (modern double glazing!) but many are just cheap and lack artistic style.
In a similar tangent, I think Google and ClosedAI/OpenAI have intentionally made their public facing products perform worse over time as a way to assuage people's fears and risk of regulation. I'm sure some decisions are related to scaling, and it's well understood that the heavy handed filtering makes the output worse. But maybe this is seen as a good thing, not bad.
There’s nothing elegant about continuously accreting features.

If JavaScript were limited to The Good Parts I could say it’s elegant. As it stands I’d describe it as more akin to Frankenstein’s monster but riddled with tumors.
It's definitely not something I would attempt to productize and profit off of. I'm virtually certain someone will, and I'm sure that capability is being worked on as we speak, since we already know this type of thing occurs at scale.

My motivation would be simply shine a light on it. Make it real for people, so we have things to talk about other than just the hypotheticals. It's the kind of tooling that if you're seriously motivated to employ it, you'd probably prefer it remain secret or undetected at least until after it had done it's work for you. I worry that the 2024 US election will be the real litmus test for these things. All things considered it'd be a shame if we go through another Cambridge Analytica moment that in hindsight we really ought to have seen coming.

Some people have their doubts, and I understand that. These issues are so complex that no one individual can hope to have an accurate mental model of the world that is going to serve them reliabily again and again. We're all going to continue to be surprised as events unfold, and the degree to which we are surprised indicates the degree to which our mental models were lacking and got updated. That to me is why I'm erring on the side or pessimism and caution.
You might sweeten that deal by telling everyone it’s a guaranteed annual write off of $3199.50 for two years, assuming they have tax liabilities in Germany and their time is worth nothing.

A German accountant with the right connections and/or proclivities might jump all over that.
Windows 8 tablet mode was way better than Windows 11 on the tablet.
> but produces native code similar to compiling C.

That's very misleading. For one, Java running native still needs a Garbage Collector, maintains Object headers which increase memory usage, can do things like reflection for configured classes, can load services via the ServiceLoader, schedule Threads and manage executors, and many other things that are "expected" to any Java application... in summary: native executables still have a Java runtime embedded into them (called Substrate VM, by the way), making them very different from C (much more like Go).

Also,notice that native Java executables still tend to have a lower "peak performance" (i.e. once a "normal" JVM has warmed up, it will almost certainly be faster than a native executable because the latter cannot do JIT compilation to take advantage of runtime profiling, like a normal JVM does).
The end of Wintel business model was over so long ago that the current generation of Windows users don't understand what people are talking about, e.g. "Oh, this is just upgrade from 22h1 to 22h2, not Windows 11", LOL.

In the old days of Wintel game, this is when the update will consume so much of your computer resource that you have no choice but upgrade the hardware then restart the cycle of new computer new windows OS, every a few years. It stopped around 10 years ago after Apple woke everybody up. I'm still using my iphone X from 5 years ago and on the latest iOS upgrade, compared to my kids iphone 14 I don't find anything terrible at all on iphone X. Windows has since dropped the "Wintel" model and follow Apple's steps, well, until now.

> Chrome (to include the original Chromium and forks like Edge and Brave) holds 80~90% of the browser market share

https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share: worldwide, Chromium-family browsers are at around 76%.

Naturally it depends on where you are: by Statcounter’s figures, Australia and USA are both under 62%, and India is over 95%.

(Note that Statcounter is far from reliable: its data comes from trackers that are blocked by most ad/content blockers, which mean it is likely to significantly undercount Firefox especially.)

And two other factors to consider here:

• On a feature like this, browser support is only one of the gating factors: you also need graphics card/driver support. For a long time, WebGL support was way lower than the browser support charts suggested, for this reason. (Subpoint: WebGPU is not a cohesive whole; devices may support some features and not others, which will always make life more difficult, and that’s about the graphics card hardware and driver, not the browser.)

• At this time, Chromium hasn’t shipped WebGPU on all platforms—only desktop platforms. Mobile platforms will lag, and I imagine that low-end devices will just not support WebGPU for many years to come.
40% seems disengenuous when it's essentially 0 on mobile...

Samsung's foundries have struggled for the past few years to achieve their targets, whereas TSMC has continued improving at their projected rates. TSMC's process is now significantly ahead of Samsung's, such that the same designs are better on TSMC. These improvements are along the lines of fewer defects, higher switching speeds, less leakage, etc.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was made on Samsung's fabs. The 8+ Gen 1 is the same design on TSMC.

To be clear, this is for Samsung's processor foundries. Their DRAM and flash memory still appear to be industry leaders.
Just found out that my Pixel 7 has, so deeply hidden I don't find it again easily, a check box limiting / allowing access to car data. I didn't turn it on...

Well, there is a long weekend coming up, maybe if I find time despite the huge home project backlog to install CalxyOS, I hate it that I cannot trust my phone to not spy on me and my activities despite everything being turned of. After all, some settings changed after various app updates.
I'm not even sure, this time there is a more realistic risk that people outside of the industry listen to what he says.
> It's not simply a matter of being more fit, either. People just give up due to pain at different points.

What’s interesting though is that you don’t know how much pain everyone is experiencing for a given level of fitness. I ran D1 track and cross-country but was not the fastest on the team. So I would often wonder: did I get beat because my teammate was able to withstand more pain than me or because they could run faster with less pain than me? Then on one of our strength training days, we decided to have a planking competition, and I ended up winning. What surprised me though was that there was no correlation between the order of the fastest runners and the order of who lasted the longest planking. Maybe I just had some genetic advantage with ab strength that made it easier for me?

It would be cool if there was some sort of competition where you could measure the perceived pain each person’s brain is experiencing, normalize the pain to be the same for each person, and then see who lasts the longest (this gets into the problem of qualia though, so not likely to happen).
Eh, most people don't want to start taking their console apart and look up fans to buy online. They want to start to playing games on it and be satisfied with what's out of the box.

The repairability and hackability is an asset, but not the main selling point why so many buy it.
The style of the article is overly verbose to me, but the underlying incident is fascinating. Most of my workloads run on Windows Server, and having a monthly requirement to reboot due to updates is definitely annoying, but also a great way to force you to carefully orchestrate distributed system cold-starts from day one...
Unless Valve ups their game, this will be the 2nd coming of netbooks, when Windows XP licenses became free for OEMs shipping netbooks.

After all, most of the games being played on Steam Deck do so via Proton, no need for emulating[0] an OS when the real deal is available.

[0] - Yes I know that Proton technically isn't really an emulator.
Show me how it is completely different from what humans do.

Because nearly everything it generates ranges from, at best, trite and hackneyed (nearly all of its writing) to utterly meritless drivel (literally every AI-generated music sample I've heard).

Human-generated content can also be quite disappointing - but the high end is very different from anything AI can (currently) create.
"Wait till you are actually hungry" seems to work fine. It is extended version of @Jack's "I eat only once a day", except there is no rules.

Interestingly first thing they teached to American Injuns, was "warm meals thrice a day" and the result can be seen in the Indian population even today.
