> I wonder what he primarily programs in.

Let me dissipate your wonderance.

I started my programming life with Delphi and C++ (pre-C++11), and when Delphi IDE became too bloated, I jumped to Python 3.x and didn't take it too seriously until Python 3.6 onwards.
I'd write a wrapper to do much of that to automate whatever my particular use-case is.

One pattern I've found useful when writing wrapper shell scripts: Output the actual command(s) that actually get run, to stderr in yellow, before running them. This also serves as a sanity check.
Google already guarantees Pixel security updates for 5 years, so I'd say that's at least the baseline. When Google removed Play Services support for the 4.x series they were 9 years old at that point.

I'm the idiot who bought fake meat.

> How poor would someone's lateral thinking skills need to be that they can't manage to square "vegetarian meat" on the fly?

Of course you have to insult the victims so we don't show up, but I don't care if people think I'm a moron.

The botulism outbreak of the 1920 gave rise to the US's food and safety system. People called those who consumed those cans and died idiots too, because contaminated cans swell up, so imagine how "how poor would someone's lateral thinking skills need to be that they can't manage" to figure out that swollen cans are dangerous.

But that incident led to better food safety. Society advances with every man that gets called an idiot.

I've known a few people into black powder guns and cannons. It is a fun hobby for them. One of them got into it by way of model rocketry, the rest were folks who were generally into "mountain man" era skills, technology and reenactment (for history and fun, not prepper illusions).

There was also a tradition at our high school to shoot off a cannon each time our football team scored a point at home games (just the powder no projectile).
Something like this?

The problem with industrial farming isn't an education bottleneck, it's an incentives bottleneck. Family farmers treat the land like a legacy to be passed onto their children--they don't necessarily know that they're depleting the land, and as such education is a bottleneck. But industrial farmers know they're exploiting the land to make as much money as quickly as possible. They're perfectly happy to exhaust the soil because they can make a bunch of money and still sell the depleted land for a profit later on.

Educating small farmers is a big task but it's at least actionable--I have no idea how you could go about making corporations care less about profit than they do about sustainability.
As stated since 2017, as soon as Apple move to their own Silicon now known as Apple Silicon, there is no reason why they cant have a MacBook SE for $699 all while keeping the same margin. ( Edit: Although in typical Apple fashion, low cost probably mean $799, which still would allow them to claim this is a historical new low cost MacBook, as the previous was $899 MacBook Air 11". Probably worth pointing out in case anyone dont know, Apple already sell an M1 MacBook Air with 128GB storage at $799, but it is only to education only. )

I am just surprised it took them this long. Although the sales of Mac were so good I guess they had zero reason to play this card until now.
But I have been told for a very long time that no one actually wants to live in a rural space, that people are just forced to do so because of cost, or some other such thing..

or that people that live in rural spaces should not be allowed that because it harms the eviroment or something.

I have had many many many conversations where people tell about how wonderful urban life is, as how that is the best way for people to live, in shoeboxes where everything is in walking distance from them...

seems WFH is in direct odds with the "walkable cities" movement

I just checked it myself and at least for me all the settings are set to "Off" by default.

> We had a badly designed system and we adopted a unit testing strategy that said every class needed to be tested independently from every other class. Testing this system was hard. It was a lot of effort with mocks and dependency wrangling to exercise our classes, and it produced brittle tests that never added any value in terms of the quality of the overall system.

Sounds like the codebase is the problem, not the tests. Too much tight coupling.

an example of the postprocessing can be seen in the first photo, where the yellow painted flight line is glowing in the dark
I bought an old prosumer point and shoot recently to take some more thoughtful pictures. It's fairly limited by the CCD sensor at 12MP. My phone, a GS22, takes sharper pictures, automatically does the cool aperture settings for a foreground focus, blurry background, and other fancy things. But when you zoom in, there's a ton of terrible upscaling blur that sorta degrades the overall shot.

Additionally it just isn't that comfortable trying to shoot on a phone.

I'm in the school of thought that purposeful technology makes you think a lot more about the role of technology. I like using technology, I enjoy learning to use it like a tool. A too-good phone camera is great for reference shots, quick social media shots, etc, but isn't enjoyable at all when your goal is to take pictures for the sake of taking pictures.

Over-optimization really strips the joy out of life sometimes.
My favorite thing about using TRAMP is being able to cd to a directory on a remote system, and then cp a file either from my working directory to my local machine (or another remote!), or from my local machine to the current working directory.

Before I started using TRAMP, my flow for this was: SSH to a remote system, locate where I want to copy a file to with cd + ls, kill my SSH session, and then scp or rsync the file over, and then usually SSH back into the system.
But isn't it primarily ACs everywhere?

> So many comments here are casual dismissals of the photographer’s style, and while I generally prefer a lighter touch in post-processing, there are some incredibly cool photos in here.

I kind of feel bad of the photographer, but I think his style has is probably collateral damage of generative "AI." I literally did not believe his photos were real, because the uncanniness and the subject matter just screamed AI-generated to me. Especially that photo of the pilots in the space suits. A lot of the night shots of the plane also looked like renders.

It's almost like it's too easy to fake cool, which then devalues cool, so to be believable someone an artist almost has to miss the mark in just the right way.

There's probably a deeper point there, but I can't make it.

I think I'm in the minority, but I just would not order a delivery in 90% of the cases. If I remember myself say in 2005-2010 I would order Pizza once in 1.5 months, and I was ready to come downstairs to receive a package.

These days I order food, knowing that it will allow me uninterrupted work (I'll just receive a package and get back to work). If I have to interrupt my "flow-ish" state anyway, I'll just go out or make an omelette in 10 minutes.

As opposed to the 4 gig of ram and 128g of storage on the Chromebooks which cannot be upgraded that this is meant to compete with?
An international perspective, related to cited educational use -

iPads are huge in Asia for private schools. Chromebooks barely register. An additional $500 over 3 years won't register much in terms of total private education costs; I can see a role where the demand for total Apple products (applebook+iPhone+iPad+iStuff) is complimented, not substituted.
Most apps are web apps these days. No need for good hardware. Just dedicated js and video player functionality is good enough
This looks decent and the idea is sound. I was looking at headless CMS recently and it only vaguely struck me that what is needed is the front-end builder component.

Looking at the comments from the dev in this thread it seems this really only supports vertically stacked layouts right now? At least the demos were responsive but each component seems to assume that it fills the width of the screen. Making responsive components in a columnar layout might be more challenging for this kind of toolset to handle.

Looking at the recipe for next.js app I noticed that the component where the page is rendered appears to be in `[...puckPath]/client.tsx` which is a "use client" component. That makes me wonder about the entire framework and whether or not it actually renders the pages on the client or the server.

If those two things are true then this might have limited application. Finding a way to handle responsive layout for columnar and/or grid based pages will be non-trivial. Finding how to mix server and client components effectively will be non-trivial.

That aside, it seems useful and decently structured. In places where we I've worked where there is a lot of customization desired, having a UI builder that customizes page layout in some data format (json or xml) has been very helpful.
A lot of Apple-related rumors turn out to just be wishful thinking or internal prototypes that never got released.

I have no doubt Apple has or is working on something like this but it would really surprise me if they target the low end for their devices.
They really should just enable mac apps on the iPad, and let that be the low-cost MacBook.

I was also confused about that. I don't use an Android phone currently, but I remember you could add your own CA certificates to an Android phone -without being root, just using some option under settings- and at least applications like the web browser would trust them. And I'm not talking about long ago. So I couldn't understand if the need of rooting your device to install custom certificates was for something different.
Given most of them didn't have or need fans, I'd imagine they'd come out ok if you only ditch the CRT.

The colors may have been there in the raw image, but it's clear to anyone who has experience in photography and photo editing that these images were at the very least, enhanced to bring out those colors. The simplest version of doing this is turning the saturation knob way up - but professionals typically use much more nuanced tools than that.

Especially in the ground pictures, a lot of work was done on the global/local contrast to achieve detail across the brightness range. In addition, manually brightening and darkening some of the areas to guide the eye. These are things photographers have always done since the early days of photography - however with modern tools, it's easier to achieve a look that goes too far, and starts coming off as "synthetic" or "video-gamey".

I also think they just did a swap of the sky in some of the dramatic cloudy shots.
I remember hearing a gamedev saying the last time he was happy programming was on the Amiga where he had total control.
Maybe simply because some critical stuff currently runs on COBOL. So it has stood the test of time. There may be languages/tech that would be just as good or better, but we know that COBOL can do the job.

Weights are simply a lossy compression of the training data set.

Now, I understand the argument that perhaps the specific work has been homeopathically diluted down to nothingness in the weights and so therefore has only been used to contextualise the compression process of other works, but if the weights can be reasonably used to generate copyright infringing text (and condensations and abridgements and transformations are explicitly listed in the law, verbatim copying is not necessary), or even answer substantial questions about it, then that shows that the weights included that data.

If I take a sound file and compress it down so it's poor quality but I can still make out the tune, that doesn't mean that I've avoided copyright law.
It's not so much the chromebooks that won over education. It's the Google Docs workspace which is relatively simple for schools to use.
I hear what you're saying, but the legal aspects of being a parent likely outweigh that. With foster children the state retains legal custody. Adoption is not just finding suitable parent(s) for a child, it is transferring both legal rights and obligations.

Yes. Those are terrible computers too but at least they advertise they aren't full computers.
None of us individually can fix the problem we're faced with, but I'll tell you what we can do: Be the biggest possible pains in the ass about it, and that's exactly what I intend to do. I'm planning on digging my heels as deep as they go and just causing as much trouble for everyone. Believe me, if my browser gets blocked based on user agent, the owners will hear about it. I will bypass it. (I am bypassing it in many cases.) If you try to push me to a mobile app, I'm either going to find a way to use your website, or I'm taking my business elsewhere at basically any cost necessary. For me, the end of the open web is scorched earth. I intend to gain approximately nothing from this, and I don't care.

Apple devices seem to handle resources much more efficiently. Especially the m1/m2 units. Got my mom an entry level air 7 years ago. It's still super fast, even on the latest supported MacOS. If you need large amounts of memory, purchasing something without that is a bad idea, yes.

Or you can invent better models or discover more efficient ways to train existing ones. You know - do something other than dumb scaling up - like what Hinton (backprop, 1987), Lecun (convnets, 1989), or Vaswani, et al. (transformers, 2017) did.

> “Facebook needs to tell us what exactly happened, what happened when he got to work, what happened one week prior,” said Bill Young.

Not to be inconsiderate, but uhh who is this guy and why does he care? Why is he organizing protests about this incident? Why is he spreading rumors about something he presumably does not know about?

Why would telecommunications experts work to distort and destroy audio codecs?
Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why telecommunications experts would spend months or years of their life developing ways to distort and destroy ordinary telephone codecs so that they are extremely distorted and annoying. This occurred in a normal conversation on meditation and mindfulness (online), nothing to do with anything political or national security, etc.

Why would anyone spend time doing that?

Here is a sample of the audio in case anyone is interested in this.

Note: Unfortunately my fiancée says I can't share this recording, because it's "secret".

So, I am curious about your answers. There is nothing worth distorting or destroying and it is so annoying I can't even work next to her.

> Hanlon's razor states, that without evidence, it's safer/more likely to be correct, for you to assume incompetence than it is to assume maliciousness.

Yes, amd that is wrong as soon as you are dealing with someone expecting you follow Hanlon's razor. Hence making it useless outside personal relationships with people you know not to be inherently malicious.

So sure, if your friend ends up doing something that hurts you give them the benefit of the doubt. If a corporation does - well, there's a sucker born every minute but you don't have to be one.

> You suspect discord is being malicious, or attempting to gaslight users, but not because you have any evidence they are, but instead because of a lack of ability to imagine how it could function the way it does with the limited slice of information you're already aware of. Some system, or some code not doing what you expect is more likely than some Trust and Safety team all got together and decided to gaslight people...

No you are trying to pass off apathy as incompetence when it is very much malicious. So is penny pinching at the expense of how users are treated - if your automated systems are crap then hire humans to review their decisions and don't take action on users until you can actually be confident about the accusations. Or you know, at the very least let users know that they are subject to some kind of restriction, tell them why and provide them with real means to appeal false positives.
I think this advice may work for some, but for most I think advantages of digital far outweigh film, even for people just getting into the hobby. Chiefly, being able to make thousands of mistakes is not a bug, but a feature - you need to make mistakes in order to improve, and being able to make them quickly is a huge help. Secondly, digital cameras are so good now that you can just do so many more things than you can with film, like video, swapping quickly between light levels, extremely accurate autofocus, timelapses, astrophotography, etc.

A very restrictive medium can help spark creativity, but it may also prevent neophytes from finding it.

I don't know why I'd pay a premium for a Mac with that use case. Garageband? I'm certainly not going to be playing games on it.
Building A Marketing Site, For Founders

This week, I built a marketing site for PromptSpace. As an engineer, this task felt more daunting than building the actual product but the system I used made it pretty simple.

Watch the video for a detailed walkthrough. In summary:

1. Address the question for the visitor right away, "What does this product do and is it right for me?"
2. Draw inspiration from companies with a similar value proposition. Retool was a useful comparison for PromptSpace.
3. If you're familiar with CSS, consider using Webflow—it's a powerful tool and McGuire Brannon's Webflow University series is exceptional. Had I not been familiar with CSS, I might have considered using Framer, which is more Figma-like.

Join me every Monday for a behind-the-scenes look at building PromptSpace, a GenAI company, from scratch.
