We pay 13 cents/kWh here in Seattle and we don’t have prices ever spiking 50X. But then we don’t really need AC that much (the high today is 74F).
Because Qualcomm _really_ dislikes letting others take a look at their (usually very boring) secret sauce. Even partners working on projects shoveling revenue counted with a sizable number of digits their way.

That's also why QCSBI (or whatever they'll call it) won't be replaced by the kernel even though the architecture theoretically allows for it: That would be ceding control.
The flip side is that dead giants that dominate the landscape stifle all innovation here and charge expensive rates. Eventually allowing someone else to get much further ahead technically.
While I dislike the tos change and don't use zoom u understand why there doing it. How else can they train a closed caption system like everyone else has? They need data for it. Transcripts are becoming a killer feature for me for meetings. I can understand why my dad couldn't type now, he had a secretary to transcribe everything. It's super efficient. I just pull jr devs or product into a meeting now turn on transcribe and we just talk through a problem. No one has to take notes we just talk and diagram. I started turning it on in war rooms as well. Every 30 minutes I stop the transcript and start a new one. A few minutes later I can share out the previous minutes to managers so they can get a detailed progress update. Better than typing really detailed things into slack, and better than an audio recording.

Edit: some people pointed out that whisper would do a good job with transcription but there's other things like tweaking the model which is essentially training it and there is things like building their own summarization systems that may be bespoke by customer. At my work we use some AI that answers HR and other types of questions that are kind of trained on our company specific questions and it actually does a great job but that does mean that we have to allow our data to be used for AI training. We're also using this system to do first tier tech support and some of our developer channels for very common questions and it works great because it finds those common questions and gets an answer before a human's even able to pay attention. Both of those approaches could be enabled by these terms of service changes
> there is no need for such a "special" language feature as described here

I think the special language feature is the point, not an unfortunate side effect of something lacking in the language design.

The purpose of errors is to pass an indication of control-flow from the called function to the caller. That’s why the language has “catch”, “try”, “errdefer”, etc. This is about the language providing good flow control tools for the error path.
Elon Musk’s ‘fund your legal bill’ tweet is a brand new level of bullshit
Seems like a pointless retort given their first point was that they had just made a great game previously.
I think you’re right but also making a good or beloved game is not really the same endeavor as making a massively profitable one. Stardew Valley is beloved. If you described the vision to a 10k employee game studio, they could probably make something that is stardew-like, widely played, and absolutely rakes in cash through micro transactions, $49.99 variegated eggplant DLC, etc. and has the charm and soul of a cold baked potato.

Beloved games have heart, vision, and they don’t establish a predatory relationship with their customers. There will always be a place for them to gamers, because these attributes can’t be faked. There will also always be a place for soulless AAA because, as you said, the MBAs can bake these on paper, reliably, and procedurally.
And PPP loans were not available (legally) to individual workers, only to the Business Owner class. Sure, it was expanding the criteria of bailout from "superwealthy business owners" to "average business owners" and "politicians playing at business owners who set up a shell company", but that's not really refuting their point that the government only cares about protecting capital.

"Here's $600 to live on for 6 months, poors. How much could a banana cost? Oh, also here's $600,000 if you own a small business!"
The point the parent comment was making is that some people want to work more. If you want everyone to work less, you would have to mandate it by law. That is, not just a mandate on what employers can require, but a mandate limiting what individuals can choose to do. That's a fine proposal if you're into that kind of social engineering, it's a reasonable point of view that I just don't share. But in the country I live in, it's a certainty that a mandate like that targeting how individuals can choose to use their time would never fly; you couldn't get it passed, but even if you did, the backlash would destroy it right away.
When a bank makes a loan, they create a loan and a deposit from nothing, they don't need deposits to create loans.

Banks are subject to capital requirements, and are concerned about profitability and loan losses, so they don't make an unlimited number of loans.

This might seem like semantics but someone who believes reserve requirements and deposits are the limits on lending would find it tough to explain why banks aren't lending huge amounts after the reserve requirement in the US was cut to zero.
They do: pretty much all the proposed farms are far enough out that you can't see them from the shore. It doesn't matter, the people throw a fit anyway.

I lived in Oulu and would go to a local library to download game programming tutorials for Turbo Pascal from x2ftp, not quite realizing that the library was pretty much half-way on the direct line connecting my home and the location where the x2ftp server was located. The name, as I heard afterwards, came from it being hosted and managed by the association of Computer Science and Engineering students of the University of Oulu (https://otit.fi/en/kilta/) in a bomb shelter under the main campus building, stairs down from the entrance designated as X2.
Why do they need to hide it? It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy! There’s no law that fund managers have to look out for employee preferences. This whole idea of a vast conspiracy has zero support for it other than paranoia.

It's all based on donation and there's not a ton of information, so there's really no way of knowing how reliable it is.
If commuting was counted and paid as a job function (which it categorically should be if your employer is demanding it), I might consider it. The other issue is that I've invested a lot into my home office. It's comfy, ergonomic, and extremely unlikely to be matched by the bargain bin garbage that employers furnish with.
That’s not even close to answerable without many more variables specified.

I didn't get AppleCare. Looks like it'd be $70/yr, so I'd be $210 down (plus $100 for screen repairs). The battery was $130 [1], and the screen was $170 [2]. Comes out to a bit cheaper to DIY, and I don't have to give up access to my device to random technicians for an undisclosed period of time.

Wow, that must have been added newly in the past two years. I completely erased and shut down my AWS account, because this was not available; all I could do was set alerts and feebly attempt to terminate the EC2 instance. I am pleased that there is now a way to ensure that cost overruns do not happen. I would certainly consider returning to tinkering with cloud services in light of this.
Always wondered why something like this wasn't made earlier. Either way I'm happy that it's being made now, writing SQL in an IDE like this should be easier
Once I had bad pain and went to a dentist, he pulled out a tooth. Later I heard it's absolutely last ditch and replacement teeth are finicky and will make your life much more problematic.

Thankfully it's just enough to the side to not be visible so I am getting away without one. (Though I think it's also problematic long term, because remaining teeth would shift.)

Never again to trust a dentist, no matter if it's a private clinic in developed country with supposedly great healthcare. Always talk, discuss and research and ask around enough to make own judgement...
> Face to face meetings will be the only thing you can trust in future.

Except if you have a chip implanted.
Remote working isn't for everyone, and seemingly not for you. I don't think that makes it a problem per se. If you are not allowed back into the office you have a dispute with you employer.

> The sooner they’re replaced by automation that’s far superior in terms of accuracy and diagnosis, the better.

I assume you are not referring to the procedural specialties of medicine. My spouse does complex aortic surgery; I don’t think most of her patients would consent to seeing her replaced by a robot. But who knows, techno-dystopias have a strange appeal for some.
I believe for a long time already, that for any serious medical question it's better to hear at least 3 doctors.

Visited several dentists recently, all gave me different diagnosis and recommendations. My mother also visited four dentists recently, all gave her different recommendations.

When I say different, there is overlap between them. But also a significant difference.

That's not only dentists. I have several examples in my family when non-dentist doctors give directly opposite opinions.

Also a well known fact: surgeons always recommend to cut.
IMO it's worse: they aren't just subsuming the terminology. There's a strain of folks in tech that think that somehow AI researchers have actually uncovered how the brain works.

The "neural net" started out as an analogy for a particular kind of statistical model. Now that analogy is being mistaken for some sort of fundamental truth.

And if you suggest otherwise, it's the technologists who have it right, not the neuroscientists.
IMHO the evidence suggests it's both -- plus, everybody knows the Tortured Artist is always going to lash out, and the Money-Men are always going to scheme. I suspect the one is used as evidentiary justification for the other, and vice versa.

...this is the Moralist analysis, anyway. Hello from the Kingdom of Conscience!
Very interesting - hadn't come across this before, thanks!
once or twice isn't "frequent" in the USA. I'd guess you're in another country? Most Dentists here say 2 times a year. I had one who suggested every 4 months and I refused. I go every 9 months now, to split the difference between 6 and 12
This is very much like the Black Mirror episode Joan Is Awful.

By using modern services we consent to our data, including our likeness, being used in any way the service can extract value from it. User data is such a gold mine that most services should be paying their users instead. Even giving the service away for "free" doesn't come close to making this a fair exchange.

Not to sound pessimistic, but we are already living in a dystopia, and it will only get much, much worse. Governments are way behind in regulating Big Tech, which in most cases they have no desire in since they're in a symbiotic relationship. It's FUBAR.

> What can I do?

Try to become a CTO of a small, really small or even startup company.

If you write your CV in a similar style as here, I'd suggest to rewrite it a bit. Don't focus on lists of technologies but rather on topics where you created value. Something like, oversaw a team of X people who developed Y product in Z years; funded and lead company with X employees which generated Y dollars of revenue...

Try to look from the perspective of the people who should hire you. For example, if you want to be hired as a CTO, your boss will be a board of directors (don't know if this is technically correct but you get the message). Those people care about someone who keeps the company running in terms of technology, who gets things done, and who can work with people. They don't care about assembler or Django skills specifically but your experience will be proof enough that you know about this.
Which VCs own real estate that remotely measures up to their portfolio companies such that they would risk their portfolio company productivity for their real estate returns?
I don't think those are your only two possibilities. The much more mundane answer is just that this isn't really that different from most years. There's usually a couple of seemingly "big" breakthroughs every year. It's just that the past few years have had most of them overshadowed by negative clickbait news even moreso than normal.
Additionally, I can't tell what a multi-format test-case reducer is...README isn't helpful. I could read the source code, but not sure if that would be a good use of my time. I agree, this post should not be getting votes.
I think it is a far-fetched scenario that Blackrock execs are calling board members to put pressure on CEOs to mandate RTO. So citation needed on your hypothesis.

I think it's much simpler - remote work can be awesome but needs complete rewiring of corporate culture, especially how we collaborate and communicate. Biggest obstacle to that is the ingrained habits of decision makers, who have worked for decades and find it easier to mandate RTO rather than changing their habits. On the other hand, I see remote being adopted by startups, typically led by young-ish founders who got used to the flexible lifestyle during COVID.
"At a “Barbie” showing at an AMC theater in Washington on Sunday, a man wearing a pink tank top and body glitter loudly identified with the Kens onscreen. Throughout the film — and despite multiple shushes — he would cheer, sing or stand up and pump his fist from his front-section seat whenever the Kens rallied against the Barbies."

Watching this was probably more entertaining than the Barbie movie itself...

But, people probably paid $50 to be there...

That definition may be a little broad without some qualification. Most of the US’s large universities have some kind of online program, and some kind of relationship with the federal government.

I went to a private research university that had a large online program and deep ties with the federal government. They had real-world residential campuses, research labs, multiple supercomputing clusters, etc.

They wouldn’t have met a diploma mill definition though. The online courses were format adaptations of the in-person courses, and where a lab couldn’t be designed digitally there were IRL requirements. The dropout rate between online and on-campus students was about the same. Faculty were mostly retired or researching and field-practicing PhDs or Masters candidiases (TAs).

I did both, and found no real difference in rigor.

I have heard it said that regional vs. national accreditation is the “real” red flag.

Interview subject here. AMA (but I'm on the road so replies might be delayed).
You're assuming less hours = less pay, which is unwarranted.

Someone who is at work for 40 hours is not necessarily "working more" than someone who is at work for 30 hours, it just means they are less efficient. If both workers produce the same output, they should be paid the same.

In many cases, it's easy to make a 40 hour job into a 5 hour job with proper planning and automation. But since workers are required to be at the office for 40 hours a week anyway, the work "expands" to fill the time with useless meetings and time-consuming manual processes.
Thanks Yuri - and appreciate your contributions to libpg_query!

We at pganalyze have plans to add Postgres 16 support to libpg_query sometime between the RC1 and the final release - mostly to watch out for the rare case where a feature gets reverted during the beta releases.

If you'd like to have a go at it before then definitely welcome (here is some context on the extraction process using libclang: https://pganalyze.com/blog/pg-query-2-0-postgres-query-parse...), and we'll also need people to test the PR once available.
It's not just the dental industry that's like this. A lot of medicine is subjective, and a lot of doctors have poor "debugging" skills and do the equivalent of print statements to try to diagnose an issue (guess and check).

I run a fully distributed company where work from home is standard. It works for us but has major downsides related to sharing of information that we struggle with every day. We have to overcommunicate every decision to ensure everyone gets the memo. Plus collaborative problem-solving is very hard, especially when the team crosses timezones. It's a constant threat to our competitiveness. At a more basic level, many people simply can't stay motivated or work productively a fully distributed environment. This reduces the pool of people to whom we can offer jobs.

I love work from home and we have no plans to change. At the same time I am skeptical that it is a general solution that can work across the entire economy. It's just too difficult to manage.
Similar experience here. I went to a new dentist who had one of those machines and he told me I needed at least nine fillings. I declined and found someone else. Over 16 years and multiple moves/new dentists since then, maybe three of those teeth have actually needed fillings.
