I was using the new Outlook.

For unrelated reasons, I found myself in a state of rage and removed the Edge browser from my Windows installation in it's entirety.

Outlook no longer works...I guess you need Edge, or maybe some components are shared...

I am now using Thunderbird.

I just felt like sharing...
> We could be helping the poor when we're still too busy discussing race and ethnicity.

Why not both? I expect you'd find the cross-section of people who want to, say, give black people better medical outcomes, and those who support helping the homeless and poor is quite large.

I feel like "what about the poor" reliability shows up when discussing helping brown people, but as soon as something is designed to help the poor the same politicians show up to condem it as entitlements or socialism.

I've seen no evidence to suggest that anyone trying to better minority outcomes has ever actually distracted from implementing programs to help the poor.

> I'm not sure which time period you're talking about, but if it's the Boston Fed 1992 research on mortgage loans, then it has had legitimate academic challenges to its methodology.

I was referring to redlining. See https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history...

> The same advantage goes to a black male who inherits his parent's house, and the same disadvantage to anyone of any color who did not inherit a house.

Of course, and any difference in equity associated with the house. Around 75% of whites own a home versus 45% of blacks. And as you know -- homeownership is the single largest source of wealth for most people in the US.

> The US was nearly 90% white as recently as 1960, and was 75% white as of the 2000 census, so of course most research that has been done in the past was done with white research subjects.

Of course. I'm talking about proportional representation. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4670264/

> Ultimately, nobody serious rejects the fact that there was past de jure racial discrimination against blacks in this country. What many people challenge is the notion that present de jure discrimination is the only way to remedy past de jure discrimination.

The person I was responding to seemed to be making that assertion. And I never said that discrimination was the only way to remedy past discrimination.

The part that's disheartening is that so many people are so up in arms about affirmative action -- and how its discriminatory. But consider everything else we discussed (and there's a lot more) as having no real impact. I mean, why are we even talking about it...
Can you imagine how much better these videos would have looked on TV if all these people took recordings in portrait mode on their phones?

Is it? I'm pretty happy with vscode. I realize that if you actually measure responsiveness there are better options, but subjectively I'm happy while other "IDEs" are completely unusable for me (Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, ...).
I would challenge you to cite any government program in history in any country that has successfully achieved "equalization of outcome for racial groups." For those advocating extreme measures and philosophies, the burden of proof should be very high.
That's meaningfully different. "Can't be copyrighted" doesn't mean "can't be sold", or "someone else owns the copyright". It just means someone can copy and resell the generated portions without payment/licensing.
I thought web3 was going to change the world, Marc.
Depending on the genre, that may be a reasonable action. If I were to uncharitably assume OP submitted an adult game with rip-off characters, that would explain both OP & Valve's behaviors. If this transpired at all.
It's not even a matter of competency: the consultancies are there to oversell - you could have 100 great SWEs on the bank project but it's doomed all the same if the internal only SPA blog has its own nest of microservices.
It’s important for me to be very precise and clear here: I am not arguing that speaking up and pointing out that you were actively wronged is moving the goalposts. It’s literally not and I’m not trying to silence you or discourage the royal your initiative to do so! I think your boss should probably be fired and you should get a bonus.

There are, however, people making the argument that we need to focus on equality of outcome as the solution (vs firing your boss and paying you damages). And followers of this idealogical doctrine have made political inroads in schooling and government. It’s this behavior specifically that I’m criticizing.

Yes, part of the problem is that we’re such a binary society so these nuances get bucketed into larger issues and it’s all really hard to sort out.
I also don't really get the desire to defend them even if you were a loyal fan. Outside of AWS, none of their services are good anymore and have deteriorated. The only reason people think Prime is even valuable is because of the quantity > quality overriding people's rational. Amazon (the storefront) has turned into Aliexpress but with the shoddiest random brands ever like XYGHY selling you a product they're dropshipping for a 300% markup. They've turned into the store where it's only worth using to get AmazonBasics from.
One thing I’ve heard people suggest is move away from oppression whatsoever, and move towards a purely economic consideration. I would definitely be in favor of this, but I’m sure this approach would have its own detractors.

I don’t disagree with any of the considerations you’ve laid out here, but again, I worry about how well we could really rate people like this in a large scale and fair way.

Yep, I got some scholarships for being the first in my family to go to college, and also from the Dante Alighieri Society for my Italian heritage. They really didn't put much of a dent into tuition, and I worked full-time or took on loans for the rest. I wouldn't describe myself as "poor" but my parents were lower-middle class.

Self-Taught Coding Journey Blog – Post #8
Looking at linked lists and trees with pointers, nodes, and other tidbits in C today!
Are they? How do you know they are not 9x or 11x? It is hard to say because the industry (and I live in Silicon Valley) has no idea how to measure productivity. And this is reflected in salaries. If we could accurately measure productivity, we could compensate it, but we don't.

We should regulate Amazon, and we cannot regulate Temu, we ban it.

Then we're back to the trade war. The tit-for-tat from that became ridiculous.
Yes, and that's precisely my point.

They made the 14 and 16, but they presumably still had plenty of 13" frames left, so they're just selling both. Jobs-era Apple likely wouldn't have done that, as it causes the product lineup to be a good bit less clear, but in Cook-era Apple, that's an acceptable tradeoff.
I hear what you're saying, and probably a large number of developers are just shrugging and thinking, "let me know when it's back up".

But remember, that also a large part of what github offers is not directly available in git. e.g. pull requests, issues, wiki, continuous xyz, etc. A lot of planning activities and "tell me what I need to do next" kind of things are not tracked in git itself (of course).

So there's more to it than just the quip, "git is a distributed version control system". The whole value of github is more than just git commits.
"I think admissions interviews are more likely."

Won't this bring race right back into it, though? Accusations of discrimination?

Maybe phone interviews...but voice gives away many clues as well...
Your society would be doomed to forever look back at historical grievances and never make progress.

As Ibram X. Kendi says: "The only remedy to past
discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." Under your and his vision, there will never come a day when people aren't discriminated for things they had no control over.

I think that's what Forgejo forked from (and Gitea, in turn, forked from Gogs). I am not involved so don't know the details, but yeah basically all of these will do. I ran my own in the Gitea era and was happy with it, 10x lighter and easier than gitlab, I expect Forgejo has a similar experience.
It still is, and like actual "rockstars", the workers are being exploited by ownership that, for some reason, are the only ones who are supposed to profit off of "rock".

> Every packet traverses multiple such core routers (most likely from multiple internet providers), so 1 Tbit/s from A to B requires many more Tbit/s of actual hardware capacity sold.

I agree, but look up global IP traffic numbers it’s just crossed 1 Pbit recently and that’s across the globe. No individual router needs to handle anything that close to 1 Pbit today, though modular designs would let you manufacture such a router.
The hardest thing, as noted by others, is managing the auxillary complexity -- which is often introduced by excess, sometimes underskilled, developers.

The 'good' (whatever that means) devs will waste more of their time hacking around the above... so more devs are added to compensate... repeat a few times: Fred's prophecy becomes manifest.

Apologies in advance for being a bit negative. I feel like this sentence is just so revealing:

> That said, he and I will likely never see eye-to-eye on this because he more-or-less invented Choose Boring Technology, and most of what I advocate is to break playbook, embrace narrative, and be interesting.

It really comes down to what you prioritize. Do you prioritize the output and the value added? Or do you prioritize making your engineers feel like "rockstars"? If you don't care about your end product, then yeah sure let your engineers break prod using untested technologies.

The reason playbooks have sprung up, is because 99% of use-cases for businesses are for the most part "solved." We're not in the era of renting colos and manually setting up MySQL anymore (which the author advocates for in order to return to "creatives," btw). We have managed solutions that you can throw money at. So, do you leverage those solutions to help you solve your problem? Or do you let your engineers re-invent the wheel so they can feel smart?

The "rockstar" treatment is a result of supply and demand. Talent in Hollywood/music can get the rockstar treatment, because the talent alone is the difference between millions of dollars. If you have a really talented coder who can be interchanged with another really talented coder, you do not have a "rockstar."

The "rockstar" era of coding was the result of a massive imbalance in supply/demand for engineers, so the rockstar treatment would help attract talent. Now that the supply has began shifting up to meet the demand, it makes sense that the "rockstar" treatment is starting to go away.

And good riddance to all that too. I don't need to work with any more software engineers who think it's okay to be a massive dick to everyone just because they can implement a CRUD app. If you want to be a rockstar, go actually be a rockstar, don't make software engineering worse.
Yes I can see that now but that seems too broad. Hypothetically if a model's trained on a thousand images only which 10 images are copyright. Does that mean of all images generated violate copyright law...?
Yeah, that doesn't work, though. It makes no sense mathematically and can be shown by a simple experiment to break down in practice.
The claim that “1000x is extraordinary” is demonstrably wrong.

You can browse virtually any modern website today and see time to full load of 15+ seconds, followed by time to link load of 7+ seconds.

Back in the days of single core pentiums, 1 second loads were considered severely broken.

Modern software on modern hardware takes tens of seconds to start, whereas software with more features in the pentium days loaded instantly.

1000x is not only not “extraordinary”, it’s actually the demonstrable norm today. You think it’s extraordinary as a result of simply not knowing what computers are capable of.
Direct discrimination is not always the primary cause, sometimes there is a self-selection issue caused by broader societal or cultural issues. But yes, in nursing for example, there is no inherent reason for the 90/10 women/men gender split in the US, and we should aim to equalize that. I don't know what causes it, probably some combination of discrimination by employers and patients, and cultural norms that discourage men from pursuing nursing.

Also, given that the split of working-age humans is quite close to 50/50, if we successfully equalize male-dominated industries, we would expect female-dominated industries to also equalize just because of the available employees. As in, we shouldn't just consider each industry in isolation, they're all part of one big society, and they all impact each other.
I wouldn't necessarily call them fake, but the issue often has to be big enough for most companies to admit to it. AWS often has smaller outages that they will never acknowledge.
But they were. Weavers improved on their processes for a long time before the engineers swooped in and put that accumulated knowledge into an automated form.

Minor nitpick, Loving was 1967.
Well... Valve is a very interesting study in that regard. They have voted for violence, topics bordering to meme hate speech, pornography, but have voted against crypto shit and now AI.

Not making a verdict either way but I find it interesting. I'd like to know more about the internal discussion(s) that took place to establish their frameworks. Especially given the company is private.
When HN discussed https://www.safe.ai/statement-on-ai-risk (thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36123082) a few weeks ago, many people were adamant that the many experts who signed this statement were hopelessly conflicted due to their personal interest in the success of AI.

If you were one of those people, do you feel the same way about Marc downplaying the dangers posed by technology that a16z has heavily invested in?

If money/resources were no object

If money is no object then yes it can be done. One can order massive amounts of freeze dried food and store a lot of treated water. Officially it is good retaining 97% nutrients and taste for 25 years. Unofficially it's good until the container decomposes. I have enough to last about a year of daily consumption and that was a serious investment but has more nutritional value than gold or silver.

There are a few companies that can do custom orders and there is one consumer company that sells an assortment of different size freeze dryers [1]. Watch videos on how those work before contemplating getting one as they are noisy and involve time and effort. My local grocery store sells a few generic meat, egg and vegetable freeze dried foods, butter, beans, etc... Even some unhealthy stuff I guess for psychological effect as comfort food.

Nutristore [2] is one of the more affordable brands I get. Tastes better than MRE's from the 90's but can be bland. One must add their own desired seasonings or sauces. There are other brands that have better taste and more options but they also cost a lot more. All of this requires adding water. One should watch videos on how to properly treat water for prolonged storage.

But still risky; as clear from the recent rocket explosion; stage landing mishaps, space shuttles before them (the reason why SpaceX has a client in the US is because shuttles weren't reliable enough to continue)

Hopefully SpaceX is listening to pressure hull tests and Nasa now pays attention to ambient temperatures and orings.

> It isn't just about your driving performance, if you're driving in places or intersections

To underline this, I had an enlightening moment with my auto insurance company years ago. I worked a handful of miles from where I lived, but the only way to get between the two was a freeway that is infamous for not only being highly congested (my average commute was a 45 minute drive each way), but for the numerous accidents that happened on it.

I moved much closer to my work, and when I updated my insurance policy with my new address, my premium was cut to nearly 1/3rd what it was before.

No idea, honestly. You're right, the product doesn't really make sense anymore. But at the same time, I can't see them simply dropping it. Maybe they'll surprise us.
Under what moral philosophy is it acceptable to hold people responsible for things they had no part in? Other than your abstract idea that "history should be fair," do you have any justification for this idea?
It is likely that once one very large hailstone caused cracks, follow-up strikes that would have bounced off an intact panel created further cracks in the already damaged and now weaker panel.

So the still intact panels are probably not significantly stronger, they were just statistically fortunate in that they didn't receive an impact that started a progression of further damage.
That's surprising. Do you know if their definition of 'AI' includes things like generative fill in Photoshop?

>b) 100+ developers in a big company with a much much larger budget in 2 years.

Mythical man month in play. In my experience, teams working on a single project peak at around 3-4 people, depending on how well you can silo the responsibilities. You can have 200 developers on a massive project, but the planners need to be able to silo the pieces off properly and define interfaces very well early on, which requires a massive planning phase. That usually doesn't happen the way people want it to either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

Currently on my team, we have one guy responsible for the schema, back end webapis and automation. Another guy does exclusively UI, those are the two main people. We have another guy responsible for auth and misc stuff and the third guy is a full stack that came in after major development was complete who can add features pretty quickly. We have a completely separate team that handles billing operations/applications of 2 people. Our team members communicate directly with business for requirements and understanding their needs, so nothing gets convoluted passing information down through middle channels.

It's not the only way to do it, but it works pretty well for us. We write all the programming required for operations of a pretty complex medical company. This was a complete Greenfield project and we have about 10 major and minor applications so far. We also have to adapt to incoming partner companies who have their own special needs and changing regulations, so the system and team is very flexible. We're about 4 years in and we had a working system up and running from "File -> New" after about 6 months. All this during COVID.

Another problem with big companies that I've seen is that everything is done by committee and about 10 people need to sign off on any little thing. It turns into an administrative nightmare.

> This is just legal cover until such time as its possible to enforce no child exploitation imagery, no copyright stuff, etc.

If the art used in a game violates copyright or contains imagery of exploited children, ban it of course, but what does that have to do with whether it was generated via AI or created in another manner?

If anything AI generated art should be _less_ susceptible to copyrighted stuff because everything is original (even if it's not in original style)

And then what about the Welsh, can they get reparations from the Anglo Saxons? My own ancestry is primarily Scottish, French Canadian, and Irish, can I get triple reparations from the English?

If Valve takes a % of sales from a game that is full of copyright infringement, they can be sued for their cut from the sales plus maybe more and they need to pay the lawyers.

They also care about their reputation amongst content-producers (game makers). Youtube faced this exact dynamic back in the day and have found it better to side with the large creators who care very much about protecting IP rights and so they exercise a heavy hand against copyrighted material.
