> To think that the only people who are not cynical / angry are those that are avoiding the "real problems" (in what/ whose definition?).

That's not my point. I am saying that in a business environment, when there's one person in a group that is pissed, disagreeing, or somehow pissing on the happy-go-lucky parade, that person is usually right. Why? Beause pissing on the parade is always more risky and difficult than taking the path of least resistance (which is just shutting up and accepting the status quo.) So, they wouldn't be doing it unless they really had to.

I do not believe this is correct. Sure you can run llama or something locally on a cpu or your Apple arm but it’s not even close to the speed of running on a Nvidia card.

Do you think nvidias trillion dollar valuation is because entire governments are buying Nvidia cards to run stable diffusion?!
Pretty sure this was a thing in Victorian England. It's in Jack the Ripper stories and possibly where the word "hangover" came from I think.
Another one that's actually true: the original Shazam service was a phone number you could call and leave a voicemail of the song playing, and then it would text you back the name of the song.
I highly recommend reading “Working Effectively with Legacy Code” BEFORE even considering a rewrite. Isolating and rewriting parts of a legacy system step by step is almost always the right way to do it.
While getting tickets for The Cure was a shit show because of Ticketmaster, the fan to fan ticket exchange ended up being wonderful. I lucked into really great tickets at face value the day of the show, and I was able to resell my “still good but not great” tickets in minutes. It was almost zero friction and there were no tacked on fees or other surprises. I wish more artists did this.

Sometimes I want to resell a ticket and I’m not looking to profit but TM makes it so painful to do this under normal circumstances. The fact they can double dip on fees should be illegal. Whenever I’ve tried to sell tickets at face value (because something came up, I got better tickets later, or another tour stop opened up at a better venue), the actual listing ends up being some 20% higher because of the extra fees TM adds. TM doesn’t let you list a ticket at below face value.
Yeahhhh Honda was only any good in the 80s-90s. Nowadays they're just resting on their laurels and abusing brand recognition.
This take is a little ironic. In the original iPhone keynote address [1], Steve Jobs specifically called out physical keyboards as a negative user experience. The advantage of the iPhone is that the entire device could adapt to whatever application you were currently using.

That being said I still think you are right. Typing on iOS could be improved.

Lectins can also act as antioxidants. They are deactivated by cooking. And they are present in foods that improve health outcomes. Low doses are probably good for us.

So far it seems the fear of lectins is an orthorexia related to those who use terms like toxins and antinutrients.

When I was an intern at Goldman Sachs me and my roommate rented an apartment in the Tenderloin for $600 a month. I slept in the closet. We stayed at the office 24/7 and focused on work. My former roommate is now a GP at a major growth equity fund.

I opted out of finance and instead of getting a banker salary I lived in another closet for a bit and a shed with no shower or bathroom (I had to walk to the main house).

I lived off $700 a month and pieced together a seed round in 2009 and things slowly got better from there.

Now I have a public company and can say I’m one of the few founders to get my investors a unicorn exit.

I know I am the outlier of outliers and had more luck than anything else, but god damn don’t disdain others who are willing to sacrifice to give it a go.

I feel like it's fine to commit and push that code to some non-master branch, and what really helps is a CI check to verify that code doesn't merge to master.

I use git to sync work between multiple computers, and I want to be able to sync work-in-progress code that should absolutely never see the light of day, so I feel like committing and pushing it to a WIP branch is fine.

Even if you only use one computer, I think it's a good idea to push these things so that if your HDD fails you can pick back up where you left off, even if it's code that's not ready to actually merge yet.

Tardigrades can survive in space[0].

> In September last year, a team of scientists launched a squad of tiny animals into space aboard a Russian satellite. Once in orbit, the creatures were shunted into ventilated containers that exposed them to the vacuum of space. In this final frontier, they had no air and they were subjected to extreme dehydration, freezing temperatures, weightlessness and lashings of both cosmic and solar radiation. It’s hard to imagine a more inhospitable environment for life but not only did the critters survive, they managed to reproduce on their return to Earth.

>It’s comfortable enough for Lewis, who is 5 foot 9. (Lewis jokes that I should report that he’s an inch taller so that he can boast about it on the dating apps. I do not oblige.)

I think something got lost in translation here. In SF online dating app culture, 5'10 is the minimum "not short" height. Note that it's specifically not considered "tall". Why 5'10? I don't know. How do I know this? Way too many overheard conversations with coworkers, housemates, and countless acquaintances of the above over the past eight years of living here as a tech worker. The result is lots of men rounding 2-3 inches up to reach 5'10. I hesitate to call it lying, because there's a reality distortion field that results from enough people doing it. Lots of people are convinced that they or their partners are actually a taller height. I can't find it at the moment, but I saw a post a while ago about how this becomes a real problem for things like ski rentals, where inches in height difference actually matter.

Then 5'10-5'11 guys who previously wouldn't have rounded up to 6' are forced into doing so, because the expectation is that a guy who puts 5'10 is shorter than he really is. Then the 6' guys have to put 6'2 for the same reason. At 6'2 it doesn't matter anymore, since it's officially tall. Yes, this is really dumb. But the point is that it's not about "boasting", which sounds silly.
I like that concept. I was thinking all about doing it in one step through gpt.

Netflix is such an interesting company. They offered me a job years ago but on the stipulation that I (and everyone else) worked out of their Los Gatos office. I knew Los Gatos was well known for being an incredibly wealthy zip code but I had no idea it was pretty much the #1 most expensive city in the USA. Netflix pays their engineers a ton of money, no equity. We're talking 300-500k cash. As far as I've ever heard they never do RSUs. I absolutely dreamed that one day I'd be capable enough to work for Netflix or Pixar on high end network lowest throughput-we-can-accomplish infra. Now it's all a joke to me. I don't even have Netflix account anymore. I've attempted to launcha a multitude of Netflix OSS projects like ConsoleMe and Conductor. I have never ever, and I'm saying this as someone who hopped onto Kubernetes version 1.1 in 2015. I have never had a worse open source experience than Netflix OSS projects. They basically shoot them out then abandon them and never touch them again.

This post made me hit up their Github again and there are (possible) gems like Zuul, Falcor, Chaosmonkey.. but seriously, go try and deploy them. It's embarassing.

Internet isn't a paper.
Agreed. Besides, modern meat is also hyper palatable since it’s engineered to have increasingly high fat content. Also seems weird to talk about what our ancestors ate while buying saran wrapped meat from the market as if you’re going caveman mode. Or that it will give you some magical defense against the explosion of available calories in the modern food economy.

Most social media dietary discourse focuses on magic-trick memes instead of the basic principles. Twitter and HN acts like it’s the hamburger bun and some pasta alfredo making us fat and not the 4000 calories we eat per day altogether. How about eat less, move more, avoid calorie dense foods.

For example, eating out is 1000+ calories. Unless you curb one of your other three meals and don't snack, you're going over your 2300 calorie (or whatever) budget right there.
We can still distain worsening living conditions. These folks are paying more for less space than a closet. And starting up in an era of more entrenched incumbents with higher interest rates. So looks like worsening odds for more expensive lottery tickets, at least from the outside looking in.

Is it unprofitable? The article seemed to imply the business was still profitable, it was just small relative to the success of streaming.

And while your comments on DEC-10 and 6-bit bytes might be interesting, there are very few people still working in CS who have seen a DEC-10 outside a museum. I find it always interesting to learn about computers that were obsolete before I wrote my first program, but their performance characteristics were vastly different than what we have today. And current college grads have always lived in a world with 64-bit SIMD machines that can do a scalar multiply in 3-4 cycles.

[Edit to add]
I don't know why I'm salty about this, but Doug Lemire is real good and doesn't deserve to be blown off, especially not by someone referencing a computer that was obsolete before today's retirement-age CS people were in high school. VAX obsoleted the DEC-10 in 1977.

You could walk out, but that meant the app by the goverment would not show the "fully vaxed" status. This app was mandatory checked at every bar, cafe, restaurant, theater, ... , and they had to refuse you entrance if not vaxed.
Right? With $60 million in revenue, that's quite a few customers (and if they haven't switched to streaming by now, those are loyal customers indeed). If there's any profit in it at all, that's a lifestyle business waiting to happen.

Completely separate interaction maybe. You can certainly ask a question then ask it to rephrase the answer, etc. Like "say five words", followed by "reverse the answer"...produces the same five words in reverse.

Asking a question then following with "why did you say that?" usually cites the previous context reasonably.
