Marvel faces backlash over AI-generated opening credits
Probably 99% of the time I look at, or use, a map, it's at a scale where the Mercator projection is entirely fair, and highly useful. For probably half of the uses I have for maps, whatever distortion relative to an actual globe it introduces isn't even noticable. Then there are the rare times I look at a map at something approaching hemispheric scale. But come on, people, I've been told since 4th grade about the distortions of a world map at that scale. I literally can remember Ms. Kraft in 4th grade explaining how the map made Greenland look nearly as big as Africa, when in fact it was more like the size the larger countries in Africa.

And, anyone who has traveled internationally much at all is well aware that, say, Europe is a hell of a lot smaller than it looks on a world map - because we fly, for the most part, great circle routes, and flight times give you a very good measure of how far things are. First time you look at a flight to Sydney, the size of the Pacific Ocean, relative to the North Atlantic, pretty much hits you over the head.

So, while I find articles like this kinda fun for a couple of minutes (what strange comparison will this author pull out of their hat to make the point that flat maps distort world persectives?), it's mostly for entertainment value. There really isn't much to see.

Because this is a first iteration specifically made for developer to start to get their app running, so that when the consumer less expensive model will be released a couple of years down the line there's already an app ecosystem ready.

It's a strategic release aimed at devs and early adopters, the consumer level device will come in the future at a complete different price point. That's when mass customer adoption might happen.

Also Meta is struggling also because their device is a novelty without many great software. See a pattern?
Generally it is optimized out.

The fine details resemble the analysis of correctness - all the evidence shows people expect per-iteration semantics with considerable frequency, and don’t rely on per-loop semantics with measurable frequency. But it’s impossible to completely automate that assessment. Likewise, it’s impossible to automatically detect code that will spuriously allocate because of the semantic transition.

I have found it infuriating.

The TrueNAS portion of TrueNAS Scale seems fine but the Apps side of it I have found half baked.

I have multiple apps (both true charts and the base catalog) that just hang on init, with no logs, just the spinner and then it stops. Debugging k8s when you are abstracted like that is frustrating.

I also have had a difficult time getting traefik going with either Cert Manager or the TrueNAS certs, one seems to be deprecated the other seems to be undocumented.

If people gravitate towards to the apps feature of Scale I would recommend holding off till its had more time in the oven.

Overall, a release more for engineering than language. Even the new API's are mainly optimizations, and optimizations are netting ~10% (pretty good for an mature toolset).

The WASI preview shows Google is committing engineering resources to WASM, which could grow the community a touch.

> I think terminals had a time and place, but it’s time we moved on to tools that are more user friendly and provide better features.

The terminal is not an impediment to "better features", and "user friendliness" is purely a subjective matter.

I find VSCode deeply unfriendly to my preferred method of editing code, and I imagine VSCode users find vim, kakoune, and emacs similarly unfriendly to their preferred method of editing code. Nobody is wrong in their findings -- what one finds unfriendly is objectively true to them.

But to say that I find VSCode deeply unfriendly is it not the same as your implying that terminals preclude "better" features and user friendliness. I'm simply recognizing preference, while what what you're saying seems to discount my (and that of many others) preference.

Problems that doesnt exist for people living mostly disconnected. Go surf, have a family, friends, do jiu-jitsu, read books and restrict your interaction with AI just for the hours that you have to work. The life is too simple and too short to loose time with such issues.
In retrospect, several things they've released were in preparation or fallout from the xrOS project.

• AR was an odd proposition for the iPhone, and lidar was an overkill for its gimmick apps, but it was obviously preparing devs and apps for the "spatial computing".

• iPadOS got mouse support, but only with a clunky fat mitten-pointer. This UI makes more sense when it's limited by eye tracking precision.

• Continuity features. Controlling a nearby iPads was a nice-to-have, but for visionPro that doesn't have its own I/O, a seamless integration with nearby devices is a must-have to get work done.

This isn’t a mass consumer device. $3500 is what Apple’s charging to folks with great ideas who want to dictate what the future of “special computing” looks like. This is for early adopters pretty much exclusively.

I'm a compiler engineer on the Q# team - to add to what others have said, Q# is more than a set of quantum APIs, and the Q# compiler does quantum-specific checks and transformations on the AST representation of your program.

To do the same thing in an existing language, you'd need a deeply embedded DSL so that the program can be manipulated by the Q# "compiler" before running it. It's possible, but it can get kind of clunky, where you have to use the "embedded" if statements, for loops, etc. instead of the ones from the host language. A new language helps with having a cleaner separation.

>I find these types of comments interesting, have you moderated a subreddit yourself?

What if I have? What if I haven't? To answer your question, yes I have, including medium sized ones.

>The majority of subreddits on Reddit are moderated by moderators who only mod one or maybe a related subreddit.

Possibly, but all of those combined probably have less users than a single median sized subreddit. Their impact, userbase, views, etc. are miniscule.

>Quite a bit of work goes into it, especially on the more active ones.

It's a tough job hammering out all dissent, shaping the narrative, and dictatorially destroying communities!

>Is there anything specifically you don’t like about reddits current moderator system?

Almost everything? How about automatically being banned from subs for posting or following wrongthink subs? How about mods arbitrarily banning and removing anything and everything because they feel like it and there's no recourse for the community, and everything is kept in the dark. A cursory look at /r/watchredditdie provides more than enough specifics about what's to dislike.
Quit or keep pushing? Looking for advice
Hi all,

Had an idea of a business a couple of months (B2B SaaS), spoke to 30~ professionals and potential users, to validate some hypothesis.

I believed I had identified pain points (processes done in Excel which could be automated), and went on to develope a prototype. When offering a demo to my interviewees (via tailored emails), I got 1 out 14 responses.

Yep, 1/ 14, even though these were ppl who took the time to have a 20 - 30mn chat with me.

How shall I interpret it ?

1) on the one hand, I know starting your business is hard, and that I should keep pushing

2) On the other hand, this screams like "your idea is not worth my time", and I wonder if there is actually any real demand for my product (if I was solving a real pain point, ppl would have been much more responsive)... Which means pivoting/ quitting.

Any advice from this group's experienced entrepreneur ? Shall I quit or keep pushing ?
While not the subject of the article, his My4TH reminds me:

Agreed, "we will not sell your data" is a straight up lie if you eventually end up selling the data.
You can develop for the platform on any Mac, including their lowest end M2 products like the Air or Mini.

The device itself is running the base M2, so there's reason you can't right code using a device with the exact same chip. I would recommend at least 16G of RAM, with 32 being more future-proof. Rumor is the device has 8 on-board.
Love this!

I've been iterating on a similar project, Talk-to-Repo.

It uses retrieval-augmented-generation to access the relevant parts of the code, and lets you chat and collect which code pieces you want.

Got stuck at generating good diffs, I'll be sure to look at how you've done it!

btw i started my project by turning another project, "Twitter explainer", on itself. It loaded its own code, i asked it to add new features and copy-pasted the results (with some tweaking and occasional trips to phind.com )... :)

Still surprised how shit like this makes it to the front page and stays there for quite a while.
It’s basically the same stack as on iOS/iPadOS, so it’s going to have the same requirements.
tbh whenever I write one of these it makes me wonder if I can accomplish the same logic in a better way.
I didn't decide that. I don't think most people I know would. Maybe lots of people feel like "others" have decided that, but they'd hardly do it off their own bat.

Motif/libxm is very similar to that. With two important exceptions: the user code does not use type-checking macros and “stringly-typed” API for set a property to something is more or less a part of the overall ecosystem (well, Xm is just an layer built on top of Xt).

Gtk+ was originally an implementation of whatever parts of Motif were used by Gimp, built on an underlying object model that has nothing to do with Xt (which has both good and bad implications).
"If they want to use other countries it’s just for lower wages."

Why not as long as the person I am hiring is equal or better than a similar person in America but say 1/5th the cost. Capitalism 101.

Lower Wages does not always mean lower quality. It just means that an American has to compete harder because they need say 5x salary of their foreign counterparty.

With fully remote world, why would I not hire anywhere in the world as long as I find the right person.
Being surprised that an expert in dishonesty is dishonest is like being surprised that a lot of pyromaniacs become firemen or that a lot of pedos become teachers and priests - it's something they spend a lot of time doing and thinking about, it makes sense that they'd want to do it for a job if they can. No, I don't think spotting this pattern makes me smarter than everyone else.

I don’t know specific of accounting but in general you want to save a log of immutable events that you then translate into read model.

> From the CSA's point of view, it was their fort on their land that the Union not only took but were reinforcing

The union didn't take it, they already possessed it. This is also besides the point because it's hard to imagine that there wouldn't have be similar concerns about Anderson remaining in Moultrie or that there wouldn't have been issues with the numerous other coastal forts in the south that were posses the by the US army.

> It was considered an act of war and the CSA retaliated by shelling it for 3 days after they refused to leave

That is inaccurate. Anderson refused to leave multiple times without the refusal being taken as an "act of war". The last (4th?) time Anderson actually didn't refuse to leave, but laid out the conditions under which he would leave. Those conditions were found unacceptable so the CSA started a war.

> The first battle of the Civil War was Bull Run/Manassas. It was fought in Virginia because the Union troops crossed into the CSA territory to take the capitol.

While that could be considered the first battle (depending on your definition of "battle"), there were a number of escalating skirmishes leading up to Bull Run.

> That's an invasion, an invasion that was the consequence of firing on Sumter, which was a consequence of Anderson taking it and Lincoln reinforcing it. Had cooler heads prevailed, we might not have had to lose 700k+ people.

That's an invasion that happened AFTER the CSA started the war. Thus you simply can't say that the choice to start the war was because of that invasion.

There is an argument that the CSA started the war because they feared blockades, but again, that fear lead to preemptive action by the CSA, not responsive action.

> There were no laws banning secession and it was deemed illegal by the SCOTUS ex-post facto.

It was not "ex-post facto" as no new law was enacted. The SCOTUS interpreted the Consitution and decided that the states had agreed to a "perpetual" union

As the case Texas Vs White makes clear:

> "It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form, and character, and sanction from the Articles of Confederation. By these the Union was solemnly declared to "be perpetual." And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "to form a more perfect Union." It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not?"

> Do you think if the Southern states thought they wouldn't be able to leave the Union when they joined in 1788 they ever would have joined in the first place?

That is not at all clear, because they did clearly agree to join a "perpetual union" when they signed the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. My understanding is that the supreme court decided it is legal for states to leave the union, but they cannot do it unilaterally.

You may, of course, disagree with this decision by the Supreme Court and with its interpretation of constitutional law. That does not mean that any new "ex-post facto" law was passed.

That's not how QoS works on a DOCSIS network. DOCSIS QOS is controlled via the DOCSIS config file and is applied to any cable modem, it is part of the standard that all cable modems - so any QOS that would be applied to Comcast supplied modem would also be applied to a customer provided modem.

I don't have any specific knowledge of how Comcast does or doesn't do throttling on their network but it is very unlikely that is happening via the CPE. They may be doing some QOS via PCMM (PacketCable MultiMedia) but that is often used to manage congestion on the cable network and not the backhaul/transport side.

Yup, that's standard, including in other ecosystems. It's what I do in ripgrep for example when your target is just standard `x86_64` (v1). GNU libc does it as well. And I believe Go has been doing it for quite some time. (The specific one I'm aware of is bytes.Index.)

This was especially important back before the days of v1/v2/v3/etc of x86_64, since Linux distros distributed binaries compiled for the lowest common denominator. So the only way you got fast SIMD instructions (beyond SSE2) was with a CPUID check and some compiler features that let you build target specific functions. (And I'm not sure what the status is of Linux distros shipping v1/v2/v3/etc binaries.)

> This isn't the only Substack author I've followed who veered into audience capture like this

It was an entirely predictable outcome of Medium-/Substack-/Patreon-based journalism. People were complaining about mainstream media reporting being biased, and cheering on democratization of journalism; but Substack more directly ties specific stories to financial rewards foe the authoe. Pandering to your audiences biases will make you more money, so why would you ever report on anything outside of their bubble (or contradicts their worldview) when that hits your pockets?
> You might want to read similar comments that were made about the iPhone

What comments do you want to share from 2007 that will be relevant? The iPhone was released without an App Store and no intention to support 3rd party native apps until developers demanded it. The App Store was released after millions of units had already shipped. A speculative platform of uncertain consumer interest, shipping a tenth of the units in the first year compared to iPhone cannot be compared to a once in a generation phenomenon where the dev platform was pulled out of the vendor by demand.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out but the use cases Apple showed so far are kind of laughable: photos, movies, meditation apps, facetime, 2d games etc. The only tangible benefit was "a big screen". There is more chance these goggles end up in a drawer than an iPhone which was already used compulsively through out the day.

> and the Apple Watch

It's a popular product but are there many developer success stories on the Watch? AFAIK a handful of fitness/media apps are popular but doesn't it otherwise suck as an app platform?
After all, how can you be an expert on something without experience?
In Australia, I've found the "get one month of prime free and we'll expedite your delivery" offers, while pushy, clear and easy enough to avoid.

Likewise once you find the https://www.amazon.com.au/mc page, cancelling your membership from there is about three clicks through the "are you sure?" and "are you really, really sure?" pages not too hard.

I've probably had one month free prime memberships about three times now just to get the fast delivery. In fact I had a reminder for three days time to cancel the latest membership, but I just did it now. (I usually let it run for twenty days or so.)

I wonder if there are consumer protection laws in Australia that are limiting the amount of dark patterning they can do.
