My sense is it's important to keep in back-of-mind that there is a massive selection effect involved in terms of which people chose to enter these fields and what sorts of personal life events (trauma, abuse, witnessing of abuse etc) motives choosing to make this a career. These are not well-paid careers (nor are they high-status) so money and status are typically not motivations (in fact a relative of an in-law works in a closely-related field and we talk at Thanksgiving-type family events about work and their employers often seem to me to be exploiting their investment in the field). I think it's why it can be so difficult to discuss it with them, it is deeply personal and they feel the "system" failed in the past and they want it fixed.

Anyway, it's not meant as an ad hom, but it helps to step back and think why people are involved with certain roles.

To be clear: here the author only bothered look with his well-trained eyes because he was sucked in after the law intruded into his life. It's easy to assume that everyone is highly-skilled. But... highly-skilled people don't usually choose to work for peanuts without other reasons. Fields like this are neglected.
Would you simply accept a random persons PR fixing a bug without basically re-doing all the work?
I know I wouldn't.

Even a simple line change (especially in huge projects like the kernel) can have unexpected consequences. Your fix might fix the bug in question but cause others down the line. It can make the code harder to maintain, not fit style guides, etc. There are numerous issues caused by these "drive by patches".

Unless you actually maintain a project or is heavily involved, it's easy to miss the forest from the trees.

Ironically, the person sending the patch is most times being paid by a company to do so (since they are fixing an issue they found) while the maintainer is most likely unpaid/underpaid.

I've had a very small experience maintaining a library and already had to deal with "bug fixes" that take huge swaths of your time and simply cannot be merged. So I empathize with the maintainer here much more than the Cisco employee that was allowed days of paid work to poke around the issue and tried to fix it. The maintainer very likely had to reproduce the bug and consider any implications of the fix beyond what the author would have by the simple fact he actually maintains that project.

Personally I think a co-authored tag wouldn't hurt, but I cannot blame the maintainer for not having that in his mind when he's focused in doing his job (which is, again, most likely unpaid/underpaid).

But I can't help but feel disgust from a paid Cisco employee bashing an open source maintainer simply because his ego got slightly bruised.
Please, I do not threaten; I promise.
I recently had to replace the fan because the motor died, and agree, that's a really big hassle. If you want to unscrew/remove the whole fan from the motherboard, you have to lift off the whole heatsink assembly from the board+cpu, meaning you also have to re-apply thermal paste every time you clean the fan. Far from ideal.
But the most difficult part was finding a screwdriver for the VGA port (it screws into the case).
Well, don't be coy then, what's "the best model" and how "far ahead of the rest" is it?
I hope you're not referring to the US and H1B workers, because if so, wait until you learn how hard it is to immigrate to the EU and how bad the situation of immigrant workers is here. These people would love to have something like H1B available here in EU. As an EU citizen, I feel very bad about the stuff we do to immigrants, and I hate how there's a class of unequal not-citizens among us, doing the dirtiest jobs the high EU society doesn't like to do.

It starts with access to healthcare insurance, for example. Try to get it as a non-permanent resident (who's not attending a school)! You have to have a job, there's no option to pay for yourself - unlike the US, where it's expensive but possible.
The existence of Shopify seems to contradict this. There are tons of successful Shopify stores that use non-Amazon distribution services.

This comment is so far off the charts, even I, a pathological lurker, made an account...

Let me see if I get the ranking right:

> But the motivation isn't clean

> The kernel contributors are doing very important work and their standards for inclusion are high.

> security work where the details really matter, so props for identifying the issue

> Perverse incentives are a thing and it is good to be aware of them.

> with a mediocre contribution

I wonder where normal people fit into this mental framework.

> we have literally thousands of breweries selling better beer

This may have been true a decade ago, but today there is an entire microbrewery scene in the US where there are hundreds of them inside individual states. Better is subjective, sure, but any kind of beer you get in Germany you will find a few dozen US microbreweries making the same.
I know. I've watched this cycle repeat time and time again. 'We would never' (six to twelve months pass) 'Well never say never'.
Note that the evidence for psychotherapy or physical exercise substantially outperforming placebo (or SSRIs, for that matter) for major depression is even sketchier. Your best bet is to try all three, but there are no guarantees in any case.
Ummm. MIT specifically posts one tuition, then gives you a calculator that asks a bunch of questions to approximate your financial status to calculate a needs-based scholarship guess. If your parents make less than $100k, your actual costs drop 90%. It is the epitome of advertising one very high price for prestige, but doing something very different in reality.

The Heaviside–Lorentz unit system
Somewhat hilariously:

I use Zwift normally, but only as a means to drive my smart trainer in structured workouts. Early in the pandemic, though, my cycling pals and I DID do some virtual racing and group riding, which was a nice enough distraction from cabin fever -- run Zwift on one iPad, and run a Zoom call with your pals on the other.

Anyway: actual world-tour pro Lawson Craddock is a friend of a friend, and he'd sometimes ride "with" us, though when racing he was obviously not in the same grouping as the rest of us.

In fact, he got dinged for power output, and provisionally DQ'd from Zwift racing, because his numbers were too high. Apparently, if you're ACTUALLY a pro and produce ACTUAL pro numbers, there's an additional verification procedure you have to go through. He posted the screenshot on Instagram; it said something like "Somethings wrong -- unless you're a pro!"
Unlike the first version of Constellation, Workers AI runs inference directly on GPUs that we are (quickly) installing in our global network.
This solution seems a lot cleaner to me syntactically, but it does lack helpers like .concat(). You'd have to write methods like .pipe( x => x + "!") to extend methods. Then again, prefixing and postfixing operaties shouldn't be too hard to write either

There's nothing stopping developers from taking a prompt to GPT and sticking it behind a button or command line, with options in the UI interpolated into the prompt.

For now almost all applications of ChatGPT happen in chat windows because it requires no further integration, but there's no reason to expect things will always be this way.
You can always

pipe(
2,
double,
x => x.toString()
)

I love your approach too, it's really more of a pipe operator than a `pipe` function which expects the pipeline to happen on the arguments side.
We're reaching the point in the economy where racing to the lowest cost, such as Temu, comes with great damage to the world. It's spyware that collects data on the american consumer across applications, and the products are made with illegal forced labor.

If people keep choosing to reward dishonest cheaters and criminals just to get something for lower cost, we are not in a good place. And either cheating or disguising the true nature of your company is becoming the easiest way to stand out in a commoditized world.

More important than how you vote is how you buy.

This is a writing tool.

You're making the same mistake AI people do. You can create stuff that's like what came before all day, but it won't create anything new. Literary analysis, like these plots and the more common monomyth, is about what already exists, and lags far behind. It's the same deal with music theory. People will spend years in music school learning all kinds of stuff about music, but then they have no idea how to make anything anyone wants to listen to. Music theory as taught in schools is just catching up to jazz, rock, and rap, and there's a lot of resistance.

An AI could probably do some solid analysis, like producing a beat sheet from a novel. That might be helpful. I could pants a draft, then have an AI make the outline for the second draft.
> But is it ready to have shared context of how people need to interact with that UI?

And what if it is not? Does the AI have to be useful for every single possible use case before it can be used?

You are reacting as if they are proposing to remove the already existing venues of help. When I see no sign of that.
He did a ton of work and got credited for it. The four line patch isn't a ton of work once you've done the RCA and besides it required work by the maintainer to get it to pass. And he changed the essence of the interaction with the maintainer, who isn't going to hang around to teach a newcomer how to properly submit a patch in a cycle of back-and-forths (of which there were already plenty) in a security issue.
I once got a vm from a stranger telling me there was some stuff I should know about an employee. I asked the employee and the stranger was using a fake name and was upset that the employee had figured out the stranger was lying on some ultra distance internet forum.

People would post times for "events" they did like "bike from Boulder to longs peak, run up the trail to 13k feet, climb the diamond to the summit then run down then bike home."

Stranger was posting fake results then using sock puppet accounts to verify ("I met him with climbing gear at the end of the run, amazing effort!") He got caught because he posted a result on a rarely run trail that the employee had run, out and back, at the same time and not seen anyone.

Forum was tiny, free to join, no prize money or sponsorship etc. Some people are just crazy.

Hi!

I'm the Founder & CTO of Envision. We're building EXACTLY the product you're describing. Envision Glasses is a bunch of computer vision tools built on top of the Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2. We've more than 2000 visually impaired people, across the world, using the Glasses in more than 30 different langauges.

You can check out more informaion here: https://www.letsenvision.com/glasses

P.S: I know the EE2 has been discontinued but we've been working closely with Google to ensure current and future demand is met. We're also experimenting a lot with other exciting off-the-shelf glasses that I can't talk about here but I'm super excited for this whole glasses + AI space!

You're taking the wrong approach here.

Why should the population of a neutral country be in favor of no longer being neutral?

The disadvantage is that now social spending has decreased and the owners of Saab are very very happy with their extra pocket money.
I find it confusing. I've never walked into a bakery that only sells chocolate cake, bought the cake and moaned about it not being vanilla. That would be insane.

No educated tech people are buying into Apples ecosystem without awareness of the limitations. If this is an issue, why be in this ecosystem at all?

For the record, I thought your original answer was excellently well constructed. The bulldozer analogy is completely recognizable to anyone who's tried to engineer any software that needed to run a local server and somehow get its data out. Geez why didn't we all think of forcing the user to run it as root? /s

Maybe more interestingly: I do think that the motivations of others are totally calculable. Society is an autocomplete. One big honkin LLM replete with all the hallucinations. Pretending to be a member of this society is to pretend that I wish to better understand why I'd be downvoted for a thought - to pretend that it's just me, a neuron, looking for back propagation. Yay for the neuron.

Nevermind, it's not important anyway. (Life).
the best case scenario is a 30 second youtube video with an ad that lasts 15 seconds followed by a 2 minute ad that I can skip in 5 more seconds

and ad block doesn't work on mobile

if you have a case that wasn't covered by that video? you have to go to another or continue searching all while wishing you could just talk to someone about it. if you don't know the word for what you're looking for, all the search engines lack utility.

ChatGPT4 with image recognition and conversation solves all of that use case and people already use it, so now they'll just start sending it pictures from the phone already in their hand that they're already using to chat with

there are plenty of times over the last year that would have been useful for me. plenty of times over the last year I just didn't continue being interested in that problem

it just seems kind of…. late ?… for that “dont be ridiculous” reaction. classic dropbox moment

In the cooking example, you either need the AI to have full awareness of the step you are at or you need to describe the step you are at, which could be cumbersome ("I did ..., how much sugar do I need now"). I venture, having the recipe projected in front of you would be much faster.
I would personally feel pretty guilty about making use of the tool knowing i'm using someone else's time. Also privacy reasons I guess, it feels like there's a difference between a person seeing your photo and an ai seeing it.

Intel had a talk a few years back where they got Linux boot down to 0.3s from power is applied to fully interactive UI on an embedded platform. That case was meant for automotive, where you want things like infotainment and instrument cluster available shortly after the accessory power is enabled.
I don't know about his keyboards, but many now have meta switches to turn the ~jkl; block area into a num pad. Then you don't have to move your right hand to input numbers. Left hand holds the meta key; right hand inputs numbers. On my Kinesis Advantage 3, I think the number 1 or 2 meta key on the left side of the board is set up this way.
Impressive. I've noticed that the photo shows an very old CRT monitor. I wonder if this program would still work with a modern HDMI monitor.

And why doesn't it work for FM? Is it a software limitation or a hardware one?
I'm still not convinced on this use case.

The click around technique could have logs and audit trails just the same. Someone could also just type up what they did.

If you're doing 100 of something I'm sold but the record argument I find unconvincing. A preference sure, but a simplifier, no.
> Misrepresenting the actual statement this way is garbage. There's a world of difference in the two statements.

That's debatable. What's not debatable is that not giving OP credit for the fix is disrespectful and bordering on plagiarism.

Even if OP's patch wasn't as good as the final one (and giving OP feedback + time to improve their patch themselves isn't an option for some reason), not giving him credit is wrong. This bug would have remained were it not for his effort debugging and developing a fix, and his company investing the development time on it.
Be My Eyes has existed since 2015. If trolling is common, there should be reports of it online. A cursory search hasn’t revealed anything, but maybe you’ll find something.

ok that is fair - going to SF frequently but not living there is something i should have been clearer on!

my cofounder and i go 3-4 x a year now, for 1 week at a time. it acts like an offsite - get out of usual routine, meet interesting people, do lots of meetings (we'd normally avoid this sort of thing), get ideas and up our ambition, then go home and build stuff for 3 months quietly. repeat!

in the early days, if you fundraise, then at least SF based firms are way better to deal with in general, of course with many exceptions
> it's a four line bug fix for a very old issue on a non-mainstream platform

This thinking is what commercial software market dominance is made of. People unwilling to make the software move from the 99% case to the 100% case because those with the authority to hand out credit can't even be bothered to do that. Meanwhile, corporations just pay their people for scutwork, including the unsexy kind like making the software work correctly on a corner case architecture, and while credit isn't given, money is.

If anything, credit should be given even more freely for fixing old problems. "How the hell is this bug 6 years old and still here" is a common criticism of open source software.

It's hardly putting somebody's name "next to" Torvalds to note that they isolated a buffer overrun and contributed a correction for it.

I had an X220t once. It was a great machine, but I kept my W500 instead. The latter is even better built and easier to disassemble. I like its keyboard quite a bit more as well. To me, the T/Wx00 line was the last of the best the brand had to offer.
Interesting, thanks. I've honestly never had a reason to play with the multiple disk stuff.
