I mention Harry Frankfurt every time I discuss ChatGPT because of his explanation that a bullshitter is more dangerous than the liar.

As On Bullshit explains, there’s the truth teller who is only concerned with the truth. The liar who tells the opposite of the truth, and thus must know the truth. Finally the bullshitter who neither cares about the truth or lies but rather the appearance of truth. He could be telling the truth, he could be lying, and he doesn’t care as long as you believe him.
It's also myopic to think that having a large conventional army that deters rivals from attacking smaller trade partners is not beneficial.

It's not any slower in the typical case where destination buffer is large enough to fit the source thing. And if that's not the case then we are most likely in a error case (either caller notices the truncation and decides to abort, or ignores the truncation and things may soon go boom), and not many people care about optimizing error paths.

Furthermore, when coders dont't have strlcpy() the alternatives are often even worse than strlcpy():
1) They use strcpy() and have buffer overflows.
2) They use strncpy() which is slower than strlcpy() in the common (non truncating) case, and in the truncating case leave the string unterminated (thus segfault potential)
3) They use snprintf(dst, len, "%s", src); which is strictly slower than strlcpy()

There's a legitimate reason for that. Tom Scott did a video on it.[0] It basically boils down to telephone switches starting to compress the audio. Compress and decompress multiple times (by various companies) on the way to you, and the quality degrades very quick.

You can definitely argue that trickle-down economics was a failure. London School of Economics does exactly that.[0] I am also a bit surprised that you haven't heard the absolute despair of Millennials and Gen Z. Wealth inequality is off the charts. If wasn't for Mark Zuckerberg, Millennials would have an average negative net worth (mostly joking). This isn't a matter of complaining that you have to cut down on avo toast, it's people not going to the doctor, dentist, having to pile into small houses, always be on the edge of your car breaking down.

Big corporations don't miss disruptive trends. They crush any internal efforts to capture them out of fear of compromising the main profit lines and end up missing out. IBM didn't miss the bandwagon on mobile, Internet, or personal computing.

The IBM PC was what everyone outside a few niche companies copied. IBM Simon beat the iPhone by over a decade and probably could have been significant with a few iterations. Almost every modem used to connect to the early commercial internet slotted into an IBM clone. They built the wagon, but every time they had to make a choice on how to proceed, they chose poorly.
People with vintage cars like that generally take care of them, so it's a very low risk.

With or without a family, the reality is that you work in spikes.

You have times where you work much less than that on client projects, maybe just 50% of that, and use some of the "free" time to tinker, learn, improve your internal tooling etc. And of course spend more time with family and friends.

Then there are times where you have to squeeze in as much (billable) work into a week as possible. Deadlines need to be met, quality & testing needs to be rock solid.

Then there are times where you spike up with work and start neglecting family and friends. It's just how it goes. No amount of planning can prevent these spikes completely.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but generally you are in part hired for your flexibility and high engagement. You give certain guarantees that employees don't and you make absolutely sure that those expectations are met.

But again, it's an ebb and flow thing. Or it should be. There needs to be times where you decompress for a while, look at the big picture and sharpen your tools.
A midlife crisis implies, imo, that you haven’t reached the things you wanted to and are running out of time. Not that you aren’t moving forward per se.
My prediction is that this will be like the .com boom. 99% of AI startups will fail. A handful will succeed.

Google Series A was $25M at a $75M valuation (source: random web site. Doesn't need to be correct for the point). 1/3 of Google is worth $500B today. Add in dilution, and it big-O perhaps a 1000x ROI.

For every Google or Amazon, there's probably nearly a hundred pets.com.

I suspect AI might be similar. It's hard to predict which is going to be which. A portfolio doesn't seem crazy to me.

I think Joel Kinnamen is fine in the roles he's cast in - maybe he doesn't have much range (I'm not saying he hasn't got range, just that I've not seen him in anything other than things like Altered Carbon or The Suicide Squad); I think Chris Pratt is exactly the same.

Joel does stoic tough guys with a dead-pan sense of humor extremely well and doesn't stand out as miscast in the things I see him in.

A startup is a specific category within the broader framework of "new businesses". Based on my knowledge, that about 90% of startups do not survive beyond their initial 5 years. If a startup cannot find repeatable and scalable business model in 5 years then it should close: it is just waste of time.
Thus making the only way to see something piracy, which is beyond trivial at this age and (at least to somewhat tech person) actually a better experience. All possible video, audio and subtitle formats, including fan-production are available within few clicks, no need to connect TV to internet (so it starts getting all those ads you've missed so terribly).

Makes me think - how do copyright owners know how many times ie Netflix streams given movie? Or do they just get some bulk fees from Netflix based ie on region and duration, and nobody cares about actual view counts?

The initial cost isn't higher if you are buying new pans. New, cheap pans usually work for an induction stove.

But you might not have new pans, nor the money to replace all of them. Especially if you rent and have no control over what stove gets installed when your current one breaks - or just move into somewhere to discover the induction stove. It is kind of like buying toilet paper: It doesn't matter if the 24 pack is cheaper if you only have the money for the 4pack. Running costs don't always matter if you don't have money to invest upfront.

And to be fair, they aren't inserts. They sit between your stove and the cookware. The plate heats up and heats up your cookware, much like your pans heat up to cook your food. It might take slightly longer, but it won't realistically be worse than heating up a cast iron skillet. And you have a stovetop you can use.

The problem with Criterion is that they have no idea how to catalog things or like everyone else they make a Byzantine system for good engagement/enragement.

I believe media should be arranged by at least the following categories.
Year
Studio
Director
Genre
Country of Origin

After that they can do whatever they want. I hope I"m wrong but I can't do this with iTunes, Netflix, HBO whatever, Criterion, TCM.

Criterion has newer films once they are released to the home market.

Also Criterion just edited "The French Connection" to make it more appropriate for viewers.

Also "AI" working on "chatbots". I have a friend who works as a recruiter at a place that helps companies sell their trash products via whatsapp (what a disgusting invasion of capitalist greed into formerly personal communication spaces) that pivoted to doing it via LLMs. It's run by two grifters who couldn't tell the difference between a LLM and "ChatGPT", it's all the same for them. yet the roles they are hiring for are called "AI engineer" and such. When it was founded, the company was a clothing brand, before pivoting to ecommerce. Can't wait for that useless piece of shit "startup" to go out of business (after my friend finds a better job).
> I believe this is an attempt to enforce some of the permissions changes made around Marshmallow

That was a relatively major change, but there have been enough other changes since then, too, that they're trying to force developers to adopt – some of them "just" cause the hassle of adapting to the new APIs, some of them unfortunately definitively break some power user use cases without a suitable replacement.
Jobs is pretty notoriously a design OCD type. And he made a widely successful product that is often copied.

That sound similar to the bad writing technique of "character X did action Y because the plot needed Y to happen somehow", which cheapens character X and makes them seem less like a real person and more like a puppet for the authors.
Most businesses can get loans, including unviable ones, by either

1. Burning existing equity: Owner uses own house as security to get loan, common story
2. Political pressure to get loans: This is how zombie companies are born, and they are very common outside of anglo saxon countries.

I would not say startups are subject to more or less business discipline compared to normal companies of the same caliber. Your average tech startup founder has a lot more resources and credentials to burn in emergencies compared to an immigrant starting up a restaurant, so it has to be a like for like comparison.

If I wasn't against ad-hominems, and to avoid giving undue credit, I'd propose to call this effect "Jeff Atwooding". As in, the cool answer by Thurston on contributing to mathematics has been jeff atwooded recently.
Planners actually already mostly know and are mostly good. The problem are more often the uneducated elected officials and the transport engineers. State DoT are particularly bad.
It also depends on how one defines "fail." A majority of startup I know* are "living dead." This means:

- There are 1-20 employees

- Big-O, investors have seen no returns

- Big-O, they're cash-flow neutral and growth/decline neutral

A VC defines that as a "fail." Founders are often very happy running a small business in their domain of passion. It's a lot more fun than a big business.

* Yes, that's a very strong sample bias. I don't mean to imply a statistical sample, and explaining the types of startups I typically interact with would be an off-topic essay.
I don't think OP intended this quote to glorify Drepper. He is correctly regarded as a giant asshole. Very smart, but also an awful person to work with.
But how many startups receive any appreciable amount of VC money? How many are operating on the savings of the founder(s) and/or money from family and friends rounds? How many founders are going into personal debt to fund their startup?

And how many of them that do raise funds go crazy on a hiring spree once they get any remotely reasonable funding, while not having a functional product or a remotely sustainable user base?

According to Crunchbase only 1 in 3 startups even make it to Series A (between 2011 and 2018, the % was fairly consistent each year)

https://news.crunchbase.com/liquidity/seed-funding-series-a-....

Looking at "funding data from around 15,600 U.S.-based technology companies founded between 2003 and 2013" TechCrunch comes to the conclusion that only about 40% that close a Pre-Series A round make it to a Series A.

It really is a shame that all blockchains (AFAIK) are tied to cryptocurrency as reward for participating in their consensus mechanism when it is not necessary the only way to do things.

In fact, I believe blockchain will never be decentralized as long as there is a means of accumulation of power over the blockchain, in many cases the accumulation of PoW computing power, or in PoS the accumulation of the cryptocurrency itself.

I also believe (without any basis other than the spirit of the correspondence from Satoshi) that Satoshi released Bitcoin in 2008 as a proof of concept, not as a project meant to be adopted by every institution. Bitcoin was created to address the Byzantine Generals problem, and AFAIK it was the first to truly do so. It was not created to be the blueprint to every other blockchain ever.

There's an important difference here in that AI company is basically a new market. If 50% of Mexican restaurants or low-cost database companies that start this year go out of business by 2026 it doesn't matter much because there's a pre-existing mass of them. If 85% of AI startups go out of business by 2026 that's basically 85% of ALL AI companies.

Have you ever seen "Unlimited Hams"? It's an AI recreation of the famous steamed hams scene from The Simpsons.

It's the most entertaining nonsense I have ever had the delight of witnessing, despite being extremely repetitive. And at times I learn about pretty exotic foods as a bonus.

The original version was banned due to a cooking mishap, but there's a successor of sorts and it's more or less the same thing.
We use a joint account and joint credit cards for most things. We each take a $250 monthly allowance to personal accounts. Most of our personal purchases still come from the joint account but every once in awhile you want something big without running it past the other person or you want to buy a gift for them and need the privacy. We budget and pay off our credit cards every week.

This arrangement works well for us. We are both financially responsible though. I think my wife prefers the joint account because I do the weekly budgeting and it allows her to get a clear view of her own expenses with charts. It also prevents all conversation of the sort, “who is paying for this,” that I’ve seen some of our friends get into.

I don’t really care if my wife spends more than I do. I don’t think she cares if I spend more than her. What we care for is that we can get a clear overview of everything to understand how our team is doing.

"The world does not suffer from an oversupply of clarity and understanding (to put it mildly)" – how this can be remedied by mathematical thinking, though, is rather unclear. Take the USSR with its strong tradition of math education in secondary schools and math research. Despite producing a lot of important results and some painfully beautiful math books, like Gelfand's Linear algebra, it has more or less zero effect on the wider society or even wider intellectual discourse.
> Europeans are just poorer and more unequally wealthy than Americans, with fewer people owing most of the wealth, not more righteous.

Europeans are poorer but the US generally has higher inequality, whether you look at Gini, IHDI or mean versus median wealth. Especially the wealth comparison is jarring for the US (about 6:1, most of Europe is at 2:1 or 3:1).
