> What makes it even worse is how unpredictable the lags are so you can't even train yourself around it.

What is worse than that: not being able to predict if inputs will be buffered or dropped during unresponsiveness. I kind of look like an idiot when I keep clicking/typing away on someone else’s computer while things are frozen, thinking “oh, it’ll catch up in a bit”, and then 5 seconds later I have to work harder to fix the chaos: some keystrokes at the beginning made it through, then only every other one, then the next couple hundred got dropped, but the next 100 came through fine, and interspersed everywhere there are bizarre runs of duplicated keys, as if I had held the letter aaaaaaaaaaaaaa down continuously.

Everyone’s mix of hardware, OS, text editor, text editor plugins, etc makes this behavior highly variable, and hard to guess if it makes sense to keep typing or just wait out the frequent 1-5 second lockups.

> you should ask yourself: With every decision you make, is this good for the company? (OfficeSpace, 1999)

I'll counter that fake or self-serving cultures are more toxic and destructive in an organization than bureaucratic policies. Mandated perspectives through culture manipulation feels more like group think and design by committee than genuine empowerment.
If your switch supports vlans, you can use just about any cheap computer (ARM SBC, or some old desktop off of ebay) as a firewall+router combo. That is, on the switch plug the internet modem into vlan A (access), assign LAN ports to vlan B (access), and use the last port to trunk vlans A & B to the cheap computer. From there, you can use vanilla linux or BSD to firewall & route between the two vlans. Only suggesting this because finding something cheap with more than one NIC is a tall order. Best practices, no. Cheap, yes.

If you can get a super-cheap PC, decent gbit nics can be found for under $15, and that would eliminate the vlan nonsense.
A few years ago, I bought a 3-bedroom house in East Bay area, with a nice backyard (which looks distinctly less nice now, but hey, programming is a time-consuming job), and a decent public high school in walking distance for my two kids, all the while getting a whooping <$250K salary. Still had enough money left to invest in mutual funds and enjoy trips to Hawaii every other year or so.

I honestly don't know what to say. If you really think 300K/year is barely livable then I hope someone in your family has a sit down with you and ask blunt questions about what the fuck you're doing with all that money.

Sorry since I don't know about it I probably explained myself very bad. I did mean about the rescue part. Like the guy was still alive while they were searching so I wonder how important getting into the persons head is for "figure out what makes sense to that person given what they know" to finding people before they die especially. Like could they have found the guy if they looked at the maps people knew he had, and saw that the topography thing makes it look to someone who doesn't know the area that well that it might be the best way to get toward the road again if he got lost? That's what I'm trying to get at. The lessons these guys learn trying to piece together where someone ended up and how they died it seems really important to learn those lessons to find people before they die too.

I'm sorry I don't know any of the terms for search and rescue or anything so I have no idea how to make what I am saying make sense.

This is not true, many countries have a human rights component in their constititution, e g. the first 10 articles of the German Grundgesetz (but many others). The exceptionalism in the US that considers the US constititution the pinnacle of lawmaking and superior to all other constitutions, is quite baffling. Yes it was the first and really it's influence can't be overstated, but the thought that more recent ones could not learn and improve on it, is puzzling.

I must've missed the part where the author emphasizes expectations as being the problem. What I thought was being described was a divergence of expectations from outcomes, as a matter of fact rather than as a matter of moral judgment. The author takes pains to state that these things occured, independent of what we think about "why" or what we think about "should."

I'm reminded of the adage that to really get things done, you need a small qualified team, and everyone else to get out of their way. (See the original Appke Mac team as an example.)

Big projects are hard. They're expensive. With large budgets comes lots of oversight, endless second guessing, and a zillion rules, perfected over years, to ensure money is not wasted or stolen.

I once pitched an off-the-shelf program to a corporate, which would have cost 10k to roll out company wide. But the procurement process demanded a proper evaluation first, which eould cost about 5 times that. Better that than letting someone later claim that 10k was wasted.

Large business wastes just as much money as govt, but when a business makes a mistake they just stop talking about it. In govt it ends up on CSPAN. When it's not your money, it's easy to spend. Reputation (and blame doging) is far more valuable than cash.

Which brings us back to well resourced, small teams, of competent people.

Smartphones and touchscreens in general have a UX issue: the surface you read gets interacted with directly. So attempting to create a content rich reading surface has this problem. With smartphones it is compounded by the small size of the screen.

You'll see this with all sorts of other mobile UIs that are web based. Honestly, as much of a pain in the ass as it can be, I prefer it to existing mobile UX "solutions" out there, it might suck to pinch zoom on links before I touch them, but it sucks even worse to interact with the majority of mobile web interfaces.
There's also signed-magnitude, which Burroughs used.

Burroughs even had a unified floating point and integer representation. 48-bit floats had a sign, an exponent sign, an exponent, and a mantissa. The binary point was at the low end of the mantissa, and if both inputs had a zero exponent and the result could be represented with a zero exponent, it would be. No need for a float/integer distinction in programs.

The difference is whether the use is transformative. In the case of compression, it’s clearly not transformative, because compressing an image just represents it in a different way.

For a search index, it clearly is transformative. A piece of code and a search index are night and day different in every way.

For a neural network it’s tricky and that’s why it’s a gray area. On the one hand, a neural network looks transformative because with a neural network I can do many different things that don’t involve any verbatim copying of the original work. If I ask ChatGPT to “write me a haiku about fishing on Mars” it’s not like it’s trawling through a database of copyrighted haikus and copying one someone already wrote about fishing on Mars. On the other hand generative NNs do sometimes spit out copyrighted works verbatim, which does show that there are pieces of copyrighted works inside - but that doesn’t mean that the whole thing is automatically infringing, for example courts could decide that just particular outputs are infringing whereas the weights and other outputs are not.
Punitively high static costs of living and costs of doing business have profoundly cascading effects on people. Progressive tax rates have absolutely nothing to do with that.
It seems like you misinterpreted the isolation that's advertised. There are security benefit but the isolation provided is predominantly about deterministic and reproducible runtime environments.

Maybe off topic to what you meant but I find the "to forget we will die" an unfortunate frame.

I find some of the best people are motivated by the knowledge that they will die and therefore try to make good and impactful use of their limited time here.

I recently had a thought : I know a rabbi who has 11 children. If all of his children follow suit, he will get to meet 121 of his grandchildren in the next 20-30 years.

Now imagine you are on your deathbed and you are surrounded by your 11 children and 121 grandchildren and they are all good and strong people. Do you really lament your own death or do you have a feeling of 'I will be continued.'

A new thought for me...
It seems odd to make some distinction between HTML or RSS and a JSON endpoint. If anything, the JSON endpoint is actually more human readable than the HTML or RSS output, you just have an "arbitrary application" that happens to understand HTML and RSS to display it to you. All of them contain the exact same data, just represented in different ways.

For reference, here's the JSON endpoint for the same account as listed in the article: https://mastodon.online/api/v1/accounts/109298336948075673/s...

Firefox has a nice UI for browsing JSON, but Chrome will just give you a text dump. Ironically, Firefox also used to have a nice UI for browsing RSS feeds but they removed it awhile ago.

I think the "or not" (that you've skipped) is crucial. In my reading, it emphasizes the irony that market validation might be just another flavor of social validation.

Most companys already do. Unfortunately for the insurance companys their actuarial tables are backwards looking and cyberattacking is one of the fastest growing industrys.

The smart insurance companys are all getting out of cybersecurity insurance because the premiums on the policys they wrote 10 years ago when the average attack cost $1,000 to remediate do not look so good when the average attack now costs $100,000 to $1,000,000 to remediate. Since the expected probability of a successful attack in any given year that requires payout is approaching 100% these days the insurance needs to be priced something like 10x-100x the prevailing prices to be survivable.

Eventually it will shake out once the cyberattacking industry becomes mature because at that point backwards looking projections make sense. Until that time, we are in for a wild ride.

I think take-home assignments are great, but companies using them should be willing to put in the time to properly review and give feedback. And - spoiler alert - that takes a whole lot more effort than companies like fly.io are putting in, as evidenced from the comments on here.

The reason take-home assignments can work well in my opinion is that it allows the candidate to show off how they perform in _real world_ scenarios - as opposed to live coding computer science toy problems. Interviewers can assess what code looks like that resembles the code candidates would likely write on the job.

What companies like fly.io are doing wrong: if you ask candidates to put in multiple hours writing code for free, the _least_ you can do is give them an interview to give the candidate feedback on their assignment, even if you're going to reject them. In case of rejection, it doesn't have to take more than 15 minutes of time from the interviewers (which is far less than the hours the candidate put in) and the candidate walks away with (1) valuable feedback that can help them improve and (2) a positive view on the company and their hiring processes.

What many companies don't understand is that your goal should be for candidates you reject, to still become "promoters" of your company.

Here is how we do it at Source.ag:

1. If the resume is promising, we always do a first screening interview with the candidate _before_ we even consider them for a take-home assignment

2. The candidate gets the take-home assignment after passing the interview, works on it and sends us back their solution

3. We schedule a technical interview with the candidate. This interview can basically have 3 formats:

a. the assignment was bad: we tell the candidate at the beginning of the interview we don't intend to continue with them and give them some personal feedback on the assignment

b. the assignment was great: we take time to ask the candidate about their solution, to elaborate on their tech choices etc. and generally use the interview to understand if their "talk" is just as good as their "walk"

c. the assignment was ok-ish: we use the interview to figure out what the candidate's engineering knowledge is and to what extend it complements what we got from the assignment. It could be that a candidate didn't perform super well on the assignment, but when talking to them we discover there is enough skill, knowledge and team-fit to work with. This happens mostly for junior-medior candidates, not for seniors.

This is a time investment for us as a company, but has gotten us good hiring results and a positive reputation when it comes to hiring practices.

Might as well drop the console then or at least drop the console business model. However I have a feeling they won’t.

Consoles make money via licensing - each game sold they get a cut. Is MS willing to give that up? If no then they are still in the console business - and Windows is an internal competitor; MS earns nothing when someone buys a game for Windows.

Fair enough. I think the distinction between "the model weights" and "the output of the model" was a little blurred when this first started. Sounds like we're closer to "in agreement" than not for the most part.
I made a throw as I can't remember my login and wanted to highlight the semi article due to the amazing detail there.

I looked over the patent yesterday, I think someone linked it in this thread. It would “listen” for the sounds of impending structural failure, by comparing the sounds in the hull to a dataset of previous test dives. One of the passengers on Titan’s 2nd dive said it made cracking and popping noises as it got deeper but the patent intended to detect a change in acoustics (in conjunction with stress sensors) far enough in advance for corrective action.
