Where it has tripped me up in the past it has been because of the way the compiler rewrites async code and you implicitly capture scope at await points. So you code doesn't compile because "future is not Send" and it's not immediately obvious why. And then it turns out that 100 lines previously you had a parking_lot::Mutex local variable which got captured in scope. So you need to refactor a bit to make sure that local variable is out of scope at your await point.
Yozr fix now did it.
this would be interesting history to review in video format of someone walked through the before and after and the transition. This makes me think of these very old hotels which used to line a major street in my town that slowly faded away and crumbled. I wonder if they were SRO properties essentially.
They have bought the licenses in good faith, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were tons of images on their platform that the original seller had no right to sell to Getty.

If the copyright lawsuits do end up ruling against image AI statups, Getty may face problems when inevitably someone demands Getty takes down the images they had no right to buy and use, and retrain the AI to exclude those images from generated works as well.

However, until something like that happens, Getty has every right to generate images, of course.
What specific government policy is causing developers to only build $2k+/mo rentals? You can't just vaguely say "government" is at fault without connecting the dots.

This seems more like the market's fault. If homes in a particular area are going for $2k/mo, then that's what they are going for. If this is the government's fault, are you proposing price controls?
It doesn’t look downvoted to me. I think this post of true and nice, but I can’t think of anything to discuss about it.

Because of the way the ranking system works here, spats like the philosophy/physics thing will always rise to the top, I think.

Behind the Scenes with OverflowAI Search
Characters in general for Sanderson books tend to feel like Sanderson picked one trait, and something 'surprising', and made that their whole personality. Then he builds from there. They eventually become complex characters but for awhile after their introductions they feel like a cardboard cutout. And of course the characters still feel much more puritan and sterile than I would prefer.
Interestingly, there are a lot of places near me in northern New England where I genuinely am surprised to find electricity (or plumbing, for that matter) in a house.

Some places are just that hard to get to.

Yep, I swear people see one SWE at Google making crazy amounts of money and forget that that's the far right of the distribution. Your typical SWE pay is $75-$150k which don't let the zeros fool you is working class. The fact that crazy high inflation and housing costs has made everyone so much fucking poorer overnight and changed the relative comparison doesn't change the absolute one.

Here's what $100k is depending on where your perception of money is anchored.

Baby Boomeer: $100k would have been $12k when you were growing up.

Gen X: That's about $35k

Millennials: That's about $63k
"No real consequence" is a big lie. mDAU are down so much they switched to mMAU instead and by his own tweets they're bringing in less ad revenue than before the take over.

I've been using swipe for years now on my Android phones (currently a pixel 5). I hold the phone in one hand and use the thumb of the same hand to swipe. Feels much more effortless than "actual" typing. Especially when comparing it to typing with both thumbs.
Terraria moved their wiki and it's a much nice experience.
China is imposing a government mandate on its car industry. It is a top-down solution that is reminiscence of the Soviet Union. If you actually looked closely, you'll that there is a mountain of question businesses tried to extract subsidies from the government.

In reality, China's BEV strategy is going to be disrupted and will be wiped out. It is pursuing a dead end technology that few people want. It will only take a zero emissions technology that costs a lot less to finish off their BEV strategy.
> Comparatively, immigrants don’t have the purchasing power to compete,

Does that even matter? They don't have to compete on house purchases, they just have to increase demand on rentals, even at the low end. This pushes everyone in an income bracket above them to compete for the higher priced rentals, until those say "screw this, I'll just buy" find out that even that's no longer possible.

In this game, it's possible for everyone to lose.
If you depend on a salary to make ends meet you're working class.

This further division of the working class into upper and lower classes based on income is just another method to implement divide-and-conquer by pitting workers against themselves. Yes, software engineers earn a lot more than other salaried professions, it does not mean that software engineers control the means of production. Until a salaried worker earn enough to become part of the capital class and not need to work anymore we are all part of the working class.

Blue-collar/lower income workers might take offense in that, as they'd look at someone making US$200-400k/year as part of the elite, it does not mean that workers earning that shouldn't look at themselves as they are: workers, subjected to an elite class controlling the means of production and hence, their lives.
But employees know that there's nothing protecting their employment or retirement, and take action to minimize risk / optimize outcome (eg job hopping).

On one hand, it's really sad that companies owe nothing to employees after decades of tenure, but on the other it's really hard to see how anyone would be surprised by getting laid off with no severance after 40 years and complain about not being compensated as well as the company's owners.

Is the problem really just boomers who have rented long term and never bought?

Even if you own you could be forced to sell your house if you can't afford the property taxes and maintenance costs associated with your home, especially in states where they aren't strict limits on how much your property taxes can increase each year.

A $500k house in Texas is more than $10k in property taxes a year. Not cheap especially if you do not work or have limited income.
It's indispensable for me. Works nearly flawlessly, and in English and Spanish at the same time, without having to tell the keyboard to change languages. I'm magnitudes faster with it, and rarely have to go back and correct anything.

All the doctors I know are workers for a corporation now, upper middle class. The days of a private practice professional class of doctors owning their own business is mostly gone. Those that did cried poverty at what medicare paid. Dentists are an exception because insurance companies haven't destroyed them yet.
Hard disagree. Some things are difficult to change later on, others not so much, and you can't do everything for v1. The product has to launch at some point. Your choice of queue is one of the things you'll be able to change. Don't complicate things unless you've run the numbers and know you'll need to. A lot of very large companies do just fine with using relational databases as queues.
The Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are in a class by themselves in terms of fuel efficiency, there are an awful lot of other small cars, some even smaller than those two, but nothing that comes close in fuel efficiency. I think getting that efficiency requires careful end-to-end tuning out everything that other manufacturers haven’t done. Also superficially both vehicles look kinda expensive for what you seem to get but they are well built so when/if they quit making them I think you’ll see used vehicles with 100,000 miles selling at “new” prices.
Wikipedia pegs the largest city in West Virginia as Charleston, pop 48,000. Portland is population 650,000 with over twice the density. Homelessness is an easier problem to solve when you have fewer people and more available land per person.
For now. It would be great if the client part would have a fork with an OS maintainer as well, who merges upstream changes but would also add features the corporate entity wouldn't want to do do. Vaultwarden is much much easier to selfhost for example.
> And I don't think a single user has wanted to see the embedded twitch streams when they're just trying to get some information quickly.

The embedded Twitch stream is there purely as a way to artificially boost viewer counts on their channel. Almost every time a new game comes out, you can go to its Twitch page and see Fextralife at the top with tens of thousands of viewers, with a dead chat because almost nobody is actually watching, it's all from the embed. Twitch-endorsed pseudo-viewbotting to farm ad revenue is a growing trend, there's even several systems on Twitch itself that encourage it, like the drops system.
Anyone else thinking of making a service that can easily fork and host a fandom like this?
Well, but did the image creators agree with this when licensing their images to getty?
That is really not how these things tend unfold within a corporation. There will be pitches to executives around how to price better, cut costs, strengthening in recession etc. - all designed to increase the firms objective function and then things will be actioned. It's like some weird AI.
Given 2 finger pinch-spread is already taken for zoomout-zoomin, what are the remaining useful combinations for 3 fingers? It can't detect which finger you're using. It should support one-handed operation, so the 3 finger gesture should be possible with one hand. You'll likely have to use middle and ring fingers, which are mechanically connected, so relative motion would be difficult.

I think you're wrong. There are very few combinations available for things like text editing.

I feel that humans have "best before 40" label on them. All the later age numbers are pretty random, but 40 years is hardwired (although not directly, just as a sum of problems that are not weeded out by the selection pressure)
>From the horrible addresses (why are they impossible to memorize? Who thought that was a smart idea? At least I can wrap my brain around IPv4)

Every time someone brings up this point, I have to assume that they know nothing about IPv6 but the superficial things.

If you work with IPv6 long enough you will remember the addresses, we all remember 192.168.0.* through years of typing it repeatedly and looking at it. Not because it is easily to remember. I can already recall 2606:4700:4700::1111 or 64:ff9b::101:101 from memory.

>My ISP, literally the best available in my area and fairly cutting edge in every other aspect, has zero IPv6 support.

This is almost exclusively an Euro-American phenomenon. I am not sure why you are lashing out on IPv6 when it's the ISPs' fault. In most East or Southeast Asian countries we are looking at double-digit % of IPv6 deployment, the moment you click on the IPv6 checkbox you get IPv6 connectivity here.

>The privacy/security aspects alone are staggering and you rarely want your device to be publicly available by default.

Another one who mistakes "having a globally unique address" with "public accessibility". Boo.

>“let’s try disabling IPv6, oh it’s working now?” (on my end or theirs) that I’m done

Just say that you are lazy in fixing IPv6 problems. I have found that lots of old networking guys would say "it's defo my fault somewhere" when IPv4 fails but when it comes to IPv6 it's always IPv6's fault somehow. Protip: most of time it isn't.
Yep. Censored like a god-fearing puritan just off the boat and butt-covering non-responses to everything else like a lawyer. So "aligned" that they can't even pass a turing test.

>companies suddenly realized that meant you could pay someone across the world a lot cheaper for the same output, in their mind.

Lets not pretend that companies haven't been trying to outsource pretty much everything they can possibly outsource since the early 2000's.

The truth of the matter is unless you're willing to put in a lot of effort into finding and directly hiring the best and the brightest in third world countries, you're probably going to be disappointed with the results you get from simply yeeting work over the fence to a third party contractor company.
From the marketing perspective it might look bad too if another company took over and did well.

As long as Netflix is a FANG there will be little incentive for them to take risks with their brand.
Saw a YouTube video about row houses being built in Texas. They start at $135k to $160k ranging from 350sq ft to 600sq ft. You have to buy. Parking for one. No street parking. The feng shui is horrible/dystopian. They are all going to sell.
I don't believe it will happen. Apple seems to be planning to merge iPhone and Mac. These new iPhones will need a large screen. Trying to support a small screen in this eventuality will be impractical.
Betterbird: Actively Developed Thunderbird Fork
1. Homeowners being a powerful political bloc and using that power to stop development is part of the problem in the first place

2. Buying a house makes sense if you're a starting a family and/or setting down roots, but that's not everyone's situation. Students or young professionals get utterly shafted by lack of rental housing, because they don't have the income or the credit to buy a house, and they don't intend on staying long they'll get eaten by the transaction fees.
I tried that, didn't work. They said, "Our engineers have told us you damaged the port, maybe an electricity charge or water got in there". Brand new product, never took a charge.

I resolved it by taking it to a genius bar and they replaced it on the spot (outside the post/repair service). I was incredibly annoyed by the whole experience.
You are not fully wrong, but there is a good business reason why that is. Engineers salaries are still super inflated.I really don't think there is another position that comes close to software engineering in US in terms of salary/actual hours worked. New college grads are making six figures for effective 6 hour days.
I see this perspective a lot, and I really don't understand it. Millennials have it pretty damn good as well. And everyone wants to ignore how difficult the 80s were as far as jobs, housing, etc. Boomers got bumblefucked in the 80s. Interest rates for home loans were abysmal, small banks failed all over the place, business loans got called, etc etc.

I think the only thing gen z or millennials really have to complain about is the fact that the government hocked them risky loans for bullshit education.

Genuine question: why is this only published as a PDF?

OpenAI have the resources to also publish this as HTML. They chose not to.

They're not alone in this - most of the academic and research world, plus the concept of a "whitepaper" seems predicated on the idea of publishing PDFs.

Is this some stupid thing where human beings are expected to attach more prestige to information published in this way?

PDFs are a terrible way of publishing information in 2023:

- they render poorly on mobile devices, where many (most?) people do their reading

- they're hard to copy and paste information out of

- you can't link to headings within them (like HTML fragment links)

- you can't easily run them through translation tools like the one built into Chrome

The benefits of PDF I can see are:

1. Easier to print and get the exact expected output

2. You can save one file offline

3. Easier to author

I'm not arguing to replace PDFs with HTML (though I wouldn't miss them personally) - I'm saying publish documents as both!

Provide an HTML version and a PDF alternative for people who want it.

Am I missing something here? Why does the academic and research world stubbornly stick to such a hostile way of publishing their results?
True, but that is also telling you something useful about the company.

I'm not defending it, I'm pointing out, that when a company tells you this is how they want to be seen by potentially new recruits then listen to them.

It is a red flag for one of two reasons:

- It is intentionally misleading (i.e. top of range is pure fiction).

- Upward mobility is so terrible, that they comingle multiple different tiers of expertise into the same job title.

There is no positive look from this.
Working class is defined as needing to work to live.

Even people making 400K are still working class.

Now between the working class, there’s a lot of difference too. The thing is, that difference is on an entirely different scale than the difference between the working class and the owner class.
Does it need to be so aggressively ugly?
> I have yet to see a definition of "statistically guessing next word" that cannot be applied to what a human brain does to generate the next word.

The human brain obviously doesn't work that way. Consider the very common case of tiny humans that are clearly intelligent but lack the facilities of language.
Yes I mean as part of the GUI but you're right, I hadn't thought of that: maybe transcription errors don't matter if chatGPT works out that it's wrong from the context and gives a correct answer anyway.
1. What computer are you using? You do know that a lot of software developers do not take active advantage of instructions right? Mostly because developers aren't as aware of floating point rounding modes or availability of co-processors or even vector units. If it's a computer that uses an instruction set you made in 2018, well, kudos - but that is not a large set of people out there.

2. I don't think it's hard to add HTTP 0.9 support at all, maybe I will add it to https://github.com/guilt/phttpd. I will not bemoan TLS or SSL dying at all. As protocols used for system update - they've caused more problems than they have solved. The protocols will break once again when agencies end up factoring large numbers in the near future. There is a need for privacy but there is no need to break system updates in the name of increasing security - it does not work that way.

3. Keep breaking things enough and you'll find all your customers moving away from you. Good luck explaining to them why your software breaks day after day. You might be able to fool them for some time.

4. I do not need funding to fix obsolete things, a lot of people are already doing it - some are getting paid for it too. :-)

> I'm surprised the studios aren't getting more involved with going after AI models that included their properties in them.

If you're the first group to sue you have to spend millions extra on lawyers to establish the precedent. I don't see much reason for Disney and friends to rush to be first.

The current state of AI isn't really a threat to Disney and friends, just suggestive of a future threat. No need to rush on that account either. Especially since if they win the lawsuit - they're still going to benefit from all the R&D on neural networks that is happening on other peoples dime right now.

And all in, do studios stand to lose more or gain more to AI? Drastically cutting their costs might be worth some extra competition.
Yeah but to be honest, I'd wonder how such a simple thing falls to the wayside.
The Terraria wiki also left fandom a while back and they were able to implement things like special biome themes that they would never have been able to in fandom.

NetHack did this when Fandom was still called Wikia. Luckily, the new forked site won search engines over easily and nethackwiki.com easily comes on first results if you search for NetHack stuff.

Unlike NetHack, the Minecraft Fandom site is probably a lot more lucrative in ad revenue.

I randomly was checking on Fandom's wikipedia page and noticed: "On October 3, 2022, Fandom acquired GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, GameFAQs, Giant Bomb, Cord Cutters News, and Comic Vine from Red Ventures."

I had no idea they've been collecting sites like infinity stones. I guess ads pay handsomely? Ugh.

The 400k is a red herring anyways. Not every engineer makes that, and not ever person who laid off was an engineer. The layoffs affected recruiters, marketing, sales, and a ton of areas that were not engineers. Lower level engineers were also targeted more than the higher level engineers, and even more importantly the hiring freezes and reductions blocked a ton of new grads from getting jobs.
