That breaks the security promise that apps don't have direct access to other apps' data.

There's a reason you can't even access photos without an explicit user prompt.

Traditional desktop systems never had heavily sandboxed apps with no outside access

seem to forget that other people are working on building models that are even better. Do they really think that the tricks they developed to make gpt3.5 work well will still be necessary on gpt9 (or whatever new model replaces gpt)?

if you want a long-lasting career in AI you need to work on the actual AI stuff, not just using the AI stuff.

It's certainly something that made Tokyo stand out among other cities even 20 years ago, before huge digital billboards ads became commonplace everywhere.
I'm not super bothered by most advertising, it's only shouty/ cringeworthy TV ads and online ads that block content and are for products I have no interest in (often products that I've just bought, but logically aren't going to need again for a long while) that I'd love to see banished.

Survival may require getting out of the mainstream. LLMs are going to get really good at stuff that's been done thousands of times and they can train on that data. Like web front end work.

If you're doing industrial embedded work and have an oscilloscope and a logic analyzer on your desk, and spend part of your time going into the plant and working directly with the machinery, you're in better shape.
I do think I'd mark it against someone if I reserved 10-15 minutes at the end of an interview and they didn't have anything at all they wanted to know about the job or the company. I'm not expecting them to have a laundry list, but still. Or if you're not going to ask something, then have something to say at least. I'd rather you just go "No questions, since I assume this job pays me in money I can use to buy things?".

Getting a new job is a big deal - either you're about to quit somewhere and presumably you're looking because you care about finding a new employer that's better on some axis than your current job, or you're out of work and desperate to take anything, which is fine as well, but if you don't want to just admit that, you should probably have some idea of what to say otherwise.

Interesting comment, thanks. It certainly puts your original comment in perspective, and I respect that position. I suppose this is related to the position that "computer science is more art than science".
True, Google's attempts at pushing SPDY and QUIC came later...

I’d be 100% on-board if they changed this from a list of URL’s they define to a list I define. Web extensions sound great until you realize how much power you’re handing to arbitrary code once you allow it reading and writing to the DOM.

That's just systems analysis though.

But that's not... what they actually do?

> Not that different from wrapping every result into seventeen layers of functional abstractions. What do you think flow or flatMapEither does?

It changes what functions return without having to adapt them to particular use-case.

> Of course it does. That's what the catch is for.

To achieve that, the catch has to assume that the functions throw exceptions with particular data. This cannot be enforced with type system, and once again, tied implementation of these functions to this particular context where they're used.

> Of course it adds runtime performance overhead. Any additional function call adds a performance overhead.

The function call overhead is a couple of dozens nanoseconds at best. And we're talking about a remote call that takes 30 seconds to complete and costs $0,05 per OpenAI's API.

The overhead you're talking about is 0,0000001% in time and I think a few orders less in cost.

> If the alternative is more readable

It's not. An alternative that would actually have all the same functionality would be 4 times as long and more importantly, much more complex to change in a meaningful way.

> more traceable, has better stack traces for errors

But that's the point: we don't need stack traces. We don't need exceptions for errors that we know how to handle.

That's like complaining that a GC-based language doesn't have a tool like valgrind to handle error allocation and deallocation issues.

I think that whether flossing is useful or not is highly dependent on the space between your teeth. I have small gaps between my teeth, and I floss three times a day. I can see the food come off on the floss. My father never flosses (jus brushes0, and never has any problems with his teeth, but he has large gaps between his teeth. Presumably, the bits of food just fall out.

A lack of evidence of course is not the same as no evidence.

Just to pile on with everyone else, it's my main gaming device.

The only times I pick up my Switch is for Tears of the Kingdom. I put my old gaming PC to storage because I hadn't turned it on for 6 months (too shitty to bother selling).

I own an Xbox Series X, but the times I can hog the only big TV in the house are rare. The Deck I can just pick up and start playing where I left off. I also take it with me on commutes and sometimes play it at the office to wind down or keep the front of my brain occupied so the rest can think in peace =)

Even if new games became too resource intensive for it to run starting tomorrow, I'd still have literal hundreds of games I can play with it. And that's not including emulation. Combine that with the readily available spare parts and upgrades, I'll be keeping this for years.

My personal blog. I originally started it when I was running my first company to document the stuff I learned. It's been around in various incarnations since 2008, but I don't blog very often. In the last couple of years, it's devolved into personal book and movie reviews. If you like indie movies or nonfiction, give it a read!
I love it. In fact I haven't turned on my PC with the intent to play games since I bought the deck. I highly recommend it particularly if you have a busy schedule and want to be able to jump in and out of a game once in a while.

As a Canadian, here are a few things I appreciate about the US of A:

(1) Freedom as a value. There's endless debate about what freedom means, of course. One person's freedom is another person's oppression. But freedom as a core national value is amazing and perhaps unprecedented.

(2) Innovation. It pains me to say it, but I don't think any other country comes close.

(3) Your weather. It's cold up here most of the year.

(4) Culture. I know people like to dunk on American culture, but who else is actively engaged in creating new expressions of culture? Most societies are obsessed with maintaining the culture of their past. America is constantly reinventing its own culture. It's incredible to see.

"if you want a long-lasting career in AI you need to work on the actual AI stuff, not just using the AI stuff."

> I’m sure the park service does this for their convenience.

Nooooo...this is dark UX to artificially increase the number of violators and collect more revenue.

I expected better from the park service but around here they've started making people enter their license plate number on parking lot passes too to prevent the time-honored tradition of sharing day passes. They're in revenue-generating mode these days.

Case in point:

I had to drop off a cashier's check at a landlord's office. Same deal-- paid streetside parking, but didn't realize it was app-only. I struggled with downloading the app on a crappy connection and couldn't successfully pay for parking after 45 minutes of fucking with it.

What am I going to do, leave? I drove an hour to get there and had 3 minutes' worth of business there. In the end I just ended up parking illegally.

To be any scummier, they'd have to implement paid parking at rest stops and ticket anybody who dashes past the meter trying to get to the bathroom before they piss themselves.

This may be a bit of a tangent.

I don’t think it’s the case with Terraria’s fans, but I have noticed an odd sense of entitlement in comments and reviews on other steam game pages or on Reddit.

There’s a sizable contingent (maybe just a vocal minority) of people with a lot of time in a game — dozens or hundreds of hours — complaining about developers “abandoning” games.

I definitely understand if you’ve paid for a game that is incomplete and/or bug ridden. But I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about people that have effectively paid pennies per hour of enjoyment they’ve gotten out of a game.

Luckily I’m not in the games industry so it’s probably not anything I’ll need to worry about personally, but I do feel for some of the developers: particularly the smaller studios and indies.

If I had to work on the same project for decades I think I would lose my marbles.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Here are some examples. They’re games that I’m familiar with and really feel to me as if they’re done.

I think the calculus changes a bit when you're trying to build a business around a hobby. If the entire point is to see if your hobby is going to make a good business, then you will naturally start with "what you are interested in", and the goal of the exercise will be to see if that matches up with "what the market wants".

That feels like a reasonable approach to me, though -- as with anything -- you need to know to pull the plug as soon as you have some confidence that it's not going to work out, which might be harder to do for a hobby, since you presumably have some emotional attachment to it.

> Some of the most lucrative businesses are...

You don't really need to aim for "most lucrative". If you're trying to promote "hobby" to "business", I think you should just aim for "good enough to pay the bills and give me a comfortable lifestyle without working myself to the bone". Starting out with a goal like "I'm going to turn my hobby into a blockbuster business that gives me FU money in 10 years" is probably unrealistic, but that's ok. More modest goals are just fine.
I don't agree. There's a huge need for people to figure out how to integrate AI into larger things, and to establish ways we'll work with it - and at every step, including GPT 3.5 prompt engineering. There's a lot you can come up with if you just assume that good generative AI exists, and will probably get better. Different iterations of AI might as well be pluggable modules.
It's not dumb. The phone distracts from the goal, it's as simple as that.

> hundreds of FAANG interviews

hundreds??

So that's at least 200. Assuming you interview for the 5 FAANG in parallel, and you have, let's say 5 rounds per application (and you do reach the 5th). You would have done the whole process 8 times. Assuming they let you apply only once per year, that means you have interviewed at the very least every year for the last 8y. okay.

I've thought of something similar! A git-based flow for a friend's static portfolio site, where he can make text edits and upload images, and the site builds that content with HTML templates.

Not sure how the GitHub markdown editor would feel for the user. It might be really great, even for uploading images.

I was imagining a static admin page, WYSIWYG, that makes git pushes on submit. These were the headless CMSs that seem to be able to accomplish that:

https://www.siteleaf.com/

And not git based, but similar idea of static content editing: https://editable.website/

And this is what the admin edit page usually looks like: https://quick-edit-demo.vercel.app/admin/index.html#/collect...

Requiring users to have non-trivial general computer skills before disabling security features seems completely fine to me.

If you see that an extension is blocked on a domain and don't think to Google "unblock extension domain Firefox", select an appropriate result, and follow straightforward instructions then you probably aren't capable of understanding the nuances of extension security risks.

The good thing is we have a lot of knowledge on human failure modes though and have planned around most of them.

AIs are currently an unknown quality when it comes to their failure modes* and we are often caught by surprise when they fail at something that we expect they should be able to do because we don't fail at it.

* Given how little we understand about how it all actually works in practice, I have a feeling we will never be able to fully grasp their failure modes unlike traditional computing.
How many of your associates who goto PRC reguarly have exit bans or in prolonged legal limbo with the PRC security apparatus. I hazard to guess zero. If more than one, that's more reflection of who you are associating with. Charitably we're talking about 0.01% of the mainland expat population, realistically lower because majority of exit bans are ex PRC nationals who aren't connected to actual expat community. The reason why the Michael's arrest was even news is because they were anomolous incidents in the first place.

I'm referring to people who believes western narrative that Michael's weren't spies as "useful idiots" for believing the innocent Michaels propaganda. Spavor was accused collecting info on PRC military on behalf of Korvig who used NGO as cover for intelligence work. That's about normal level of disclosure for national security, comparable to what US intelligence discloses on source and methods whenever they announce capture of PRC national taking photos of US defense installations. So yes, given all the context, CSIS celebrating their release + their NGO background + literal associate/friend admitting they had intelligence background + their subject matter interests all point to them being spies. It takes surpreme cognitive dissonance to assert otherwise in order to support the even less tenuous assertion that PRC security apparatus is so incompetent they have to hostage "innocent" westerners.
After spending 6 months working on an Elixir codebase, and spoiled by languages with proper IDE support, I'd say Dialyzer is nice... But doesn't get even close to what I'm used to.
