> to make these kinds of comments imo they should be working completely for free. Salary is a form of recognition for contribution.

No, that’s a different scenario. Where employment is concerned, the employer and employee have an agreement where work is performed in exchange for compensation.

If you walked into a company unannounced and started doing work no one asked you to do (which is a far more accurate analogy to what happened to the OP), very few people would argue you’re entitled to compensation.
...having read the site a bit more, it seems there's another angle – the project. This doesn't really change my point, but Kickstarter does fund projects (not products), so again I feel that it needs to be explained why Taskwer is better than Kickstarter for a project.
Over-prescription matters with things like opioids or other habit-forming medications, or medications that have a negative effect after sustained use. Getting unobstructed oxygen intake during sleep is not something that should be policed even if the patient doesn't necessarily "need it". Furthermore, as others have mentioned, you need a sleep study to get a prescription for it.

You're looking for a problem where there really isn't one.

I was active on the statistics Stack Exchange for a while in grad school. There were generally plenty of interesting questions to answer, but the obsession some people (the most active people, generally) had with the points system became really unpleasant after a while.

My breaking point was when I saw a question with an incorrect answer. I posted a correct answer, explained why the other answer was incorrect, and downvoted the incorrect answer. The author of the incorrect answer then posted a rant as a comment on my answer about how I shouldn't have downvoted their answer because they were going to fix it, and a couple other people chimed in agreeing that it was inconsiderate or inappropriate of me to have downvoted the other answer.

I decided Stack Exchange was dumb and stopped spending time there, which was probably good for my PhD progress.
In terms of RPS, this web service is more-or-less the fortunes benchmark in the techempower benchmarks, once the data hits the cache: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21

Or, at least, they would be after applying optimizations to them.

In short, both of these would serve more rps than you will likely ever need on even the lowest end virtual machines. The underlying API provider will probably cut you off from querying them before you run out of RPS.

Not for this _single_ reason. The decision for offshoring/nearshoring is a multifaceted one.

Companies that have the risk to be locked in a workforce monopoly and does not have the capability to offshore/nearshore work positions, will fight with nail and tooth attempts for uniontization

I left a public high school ~10 years ago, it was definitely the case for my school back then. We were maybe given a little booklet on critical thinking at some point and that was about it. Can't speak to other public schools or more recent than that, but I can't imagine the schools worse than where I went putting in a bigger effort. You can argue it's taught all over the curriculum, but most of my teachers didn't really want to challenge us in that way (e.g. English class where you had to have the right themes for a book just because, science/math/history classes where there wasn't really something to question).
Poor management is endemic. Managers are for the most part trying to maximize their ego/status. This means having their "underlings" grinding away (preferably in view) for as many hours as possible. That this situation is bad for the company doesn't matter since management is the one executing the poor decisions.
Your insurance is paying for you for errors when you drive. MB's effectively (and probably literally) got an insurance policy for errors when the software drives. The process is the same for any auto accident: figure out who's driving and contact their insurance (or sue if there's no insurance). Two drivers may argue for who was driving - human/human or human/software driver.
IF the code someone writes deserves to be included in a project, they deserve to have their name attributed to that code. You acting like there is some threshold of code to submit before someone's authorship is recognized is weird.
I’m in a weird spot where I like both equally, but for slightly different reasons.

When I have a dumb idea (they’re all dumb), depending on what its core features are, I’ll prototype it in Go, TypeScript, or Python. Inevitably I’ll want to or I will actually rebuild it with rust once it’s relatively stable.

It’s like Go, TypeScript, and Python are pencil and rust is ink.

Go is my favourite for strictly back end prototyping, but I don’t love it for processing data. That’s where Python shines. Then sometimes I’ll use a full stack framework like Next or Remix and build a backend there, but transfer it (or important parts of it) to rust eventually.

My favourite deployment is a totally static site with a rust backend. But it’s equally easy with Go, and the initial development with Go is always way faster for me. It’s just the long term maintenance story that I don’t love with Go.

Also, I prefer Rust’s type system quite a bit. It could just be intuitive to me. I do find several teams I’ve worked with on Go projects have not actually understood the Go type system, and they’ve run into pain as a result very regularly.
Seems like webgpu is not supported by mobile safari yet.

And possibly has coverage in only 65% of the desktop browser market. [1] Does that roughly conform to how you understand the current penetration of this browser api?

Presuming coverage for a given user, I don’t have a good answer for why to consider remote.

It seems like it would be worth testing compatibility for webgpu and attempting to run on the client if possible, but then have a remote instance available otherwise.

Does that make sense to you?

Can you tell me another reason why someone would want a remote instance of whisper given 20x realtime potential at client in your project?

I've noticed that people like to ring up their private purchases at the pharmacy using the self-checkout. I wonder if purchases of such items have increased since the self-checkout option was opened, as people shift their purchases from other pharmacies to this one.

A little off topic, but I love how you mention his career progression before sharing the example of his ignorance, because this seems to be a pretty common theme in tech companies (I've witnessed it more times than I can remember or count). The people I knew in my career who were most full of shit are pretty much all now Directors and VPs, enjoying a life of success, and the ones who were the most actually knowledgable are still grinding away as IC's, worried about layoffs. This industry is really bad about rewarding competence.

While it felt awkward at first, I've been intentionally trying to befriend my neighbors. I've managed it with one couple and am working on a second. Tech helps reduce the barriers between distant friends, but we're wired to value eye contact and physical contact.
The Temporal API Is Awesome
Hey everyone! Earlier this week I published this article on the Temporal API (it really is awesome).

It's only the second time I dare share a link to an article I wrote. I find it intimidating, honestly.

I put a ton of effort into writing the article (and creating the no-dependencies runnable-script widget). Would love your feedback / constructive criticism :)
It's like the Gashlycrumb Tinies as a marketing tool for insurance. Somehow both cynically capitalistic, and comforting to know insurance companies were a bit cheeky long before GEICO television ads.
I don't agree with this comparison. I'm not OK with being forced into the center of the distribution when being compared to the general population. Just because an AI may be better than most humans at most things, this does not extrapolate to it being better than me at some specific task. Additionally, I believe there is a world of difference, ethically speaking, between me causing myself harm due to some mistake I made and a machine causing me harm because of a design flaw.
Matt since you’re here I want to just pass on something from the trenches.

I’ve been working as a technology consultant for the past 15 years. I have had the chance to work with a lot of very successful companies.

Almost every time I have heard Cloudflare discussed in a client engagement for the past several years it was in a negative light and large groups of people see you as an enabler of the worst shit out there online and are looking to avoid working with you or having anything to do with you.

I know it’s easy in your own bubble to feel like it’s just angry commenters online when you get that kind of criticism but these are real conversations from people with huge budgets.

That reputational damage might not show up in your KPIs but I am continually running into it. I just had a conversation with a client as recently as 3 hours ago about how they thought of you as indistinguishable from Elon Musk.
Yep I have a similar one [1]. But the experience is honestly janky. The magic touchpad does not do palm rejection like the MacBooks do, and the whole thing is very thick and heavy.

It isn't a huge step forward until this is actually tested. It means they're paying insurance premiums, but nothing more than that until we actually have case law precedent around this.

You're in the driver's seat with the car in Level 3 mode, the car kills someone, their family sues you, then what? We have no idea.

> It's a non-sensical argument.

Your take is equally non-sensical. There is no magical constant unit of time that represents maximum productivity. It’s all relative and fluid. It’s based on many many variables. And even if such a time existed for one person in one company for one week, it wouldn’t be neatly packaged like “40 hours”. It would likely seem random like 34 hours 20 minutes and 25 seconds.

Arguing over such a universal time is as much a waste a time as arguing over the perfect diet. It’s relative.
Saudi Arabia resumes construction on world's tallest building, Jeddah tower
That's.... remarkably clever. But I think the system loses quite a bit due to evaporation.
This sounds great, but it's difficult to pull off when career and family can pull everyone to different regions. My core group of close friends formed in university. The school pulled us all in from wherever we grew up, and unsurprisingly after graduating there wasn't anything to pull us all into the same area for work. Many left to return to their home city to be close to family, others went further in their schooling, and some even moved abroad.

Even when you live near your friends, meeting up can be difficult. I feel like many of my friend gatherings need to be scheduled weeks in advance because everyone has various other commitments (family events, obligations for their children, hobbies, gathering with other friend groups, etc).
You should worry about both problems. You're telling me that AI isn't going to improve it's video capabilities in the next 4 years enough to make convincing deepfakes?

While I respect what you're saying, I'd add that literally every bad interaction I've had with traffic has been down to inattentive driving. To most drivers, my signals are incidental and largely irrelevant information. Far more threatening is people not looking when leaving driveways or using bike lanes as right turn lanes, which seems like the sort of things an autonomous vehicle would catch.

I wasn't talking about farmer cooperatives. Worker cooperatives are owned and run by the workers, thus the name. Certainly some cooperatives are not worker cooperatives.
How many have even tried it? Companies are profit-seeking but that doesn't mean they will automatically make correct profitable decisions at every juncture. They're led by humans who generally make small conservative changes based on intuition. We see companies languish, stagnate, and miss critical strategic opportunities all the time.
> Firstly the board is completely wireless

What are people's thoughts on wireless keyboards? For me they're potentially leaky and it's trivial to intercept the keystrokes via EMF capture. My threat model is such that any bad actor can do an EMF capture and glean master passphrases and other sensitive data. So I avoid them. No radios, wired only.
The self-driving taxis are, like other taxis, taking responsibility for their safety during the journey.

Suppose Alice gets a Waymo to the bar, and Bob gets an Uber. On the way, bad luck they both crash into different idiots who don't think red lights apply to them. Neither Alice nor Bob are responsible. Waymo handles Alice's situation and I don't know whether Uber owns the problem or they put it on the driver, but they can't land it on Bob.

Long before Waymo was available to the general paying customers, one of their demos was a blind man gets a free journey, because of course, no problem, blind people travel by taxi all the time, you don't need to see the traffic, the taxi driver does that, Waymo is just a taxi.

Most small businesses aren't really about capital investment and are more about cash flow.
i think it's perfectly reasonable to be worried about AI safety, but silly to claim that the thing that will make AIs 'safe' is censoring information that is already publicly available, or content somebody declares obscene. An AI that can't write dirty words is still unsafe.

surely there's more creative and insidious ways that AI can disrupt society than by showing somebody a guide to making a bomb that they can already find on google. blocking that is security theatre on the same level as taking away your nail clippers before you board an airplane.
I love having a narrow keyboard (due to ergonomics), but I wish that at least some models would be a row deeper and keep the function keys.

I think this is the least we can do for people who contribute to OSS. Add to that that "contributing" could be as much as commenting on an issue. It's basically zero-cost and encourages help.

As someone that prefers the number pad, I've never seen this mentioned: the enter key is extremely accessible from my (right) mouse hand, it's on the bottom right of the keyboard -- I can't miss it. In a TKL, I would have to pass over the arrow keys on my way to the return carriage key.
I'm pretty sure that the employer would, or at least could, be held liable here in Norway and in the UK.

> So, sometimes, even when people know the risks, they still harm themselves for money!

In many places this is not really a free choice because alternatives that do not harm one's health do not exist or demand qualifications that the prospective employee does not have. Requiring the employer to police this raises the standard everywhere and the employees would no longer have to make that trade off.
Oh, goody, a test.

It's been a few years since I've checked in with distributed lock services. Why would someone adopt ZooKeeper after etcd gained maturity? I recall seeing benchmarks more than 5 years ago where a naive proxy like zetcd[0] out-performs ZooKeeper itself in many ways and offers more consistent latencies. etcd has gotten lots of battle-testing being Kubernetes' datastore, but I can also see how that has shaped its design in a way that might not fit other projects.

I think there are plenty of other projects (e.g. FoundationDB, Kafka) that also replaced their usage of ZooKeeper as their systems matured. I guess I'm confused why anyone has been picking up new installations of ZooKeeper.

Ya thanks for showcasing both.

As is evident from the code, Go is simpler and cleaner. In 3 months it would be much easier to reason about than the Rust version.

I am happy with our decision to migrate to Go from Common Lisp. I also wonder what is the long term memory usage of the Rust system. With Go I have found very little memory use which remains constant for months before machine swap.
Yeah, I figured, which is why my original question clarified I'm not from Europe (so no vested interest) and that I might be genuinely missing the obvious answer. Which is why I was surprised by the drive-by downvote.

Thankfully people have responded and now I both understand the sentence and the why!

I would, hands down, go with Flutter. The developer experience is better than any other project. It's clear there is an attention to detail in the core team that is rare.

The resulting product is, while not always 100% perfect, head and shoulders better than anything I've ever seen produced by something like React Native, Ionic, etc...
Given that their entire code base is written in C++, and switching to a different language would be a significant retooling for the team, I think it's reasonable to assume that it did not. Language choice is rarely made on the grounds of specific features, and is often made on the grounds of ergonomics and team knowledge.

A more revealing question is, "How are you dealing with memory safety in this implementation?" There are ways to improve memory safety in C++ through tooling and idiomatic style. Are these things being used?
Isn't there a switch somewhere on Github (or cloud repository provider of choice) to disable public pull requests? Maintainers who don't want code contributions should avail themselves of it.

> It looks like the credits were the goal, and if they weren't then what's the fuss about?

Because that is how fairness works in the minds of most humans. People can have multiple motivations. I go to work to earn cash, but I'd be unhappy if someone else got credit for the work I did.

However, at least I'd have got paid; if I was doing something out of altruism I'd be a lot more unhappy if I didn't get credit for the work I'd done.
Sorry to hear that happened to you - and I realise that "indigenous" in the U.S. means the opposite to some of Europe, sorry!

I'm guessing if some kind of Commanche social worker turned up to look at a case of blue spot, they'd go "Yeah that's a birthmark, about half our children have it, our nation even has legends about it. Have a nice day!".
The single piece of extra browser compatibility I have found in Deno is that it supports the fetch API, and Node 18+ has that as well. Beyond that there is really no difference between the two.
Discussions of social media and ill side/primary effects have become the same to me as discussions about things that are natural conclusions of capitalism. Like yeah, given what it purports to be for, it's basic mechanics, and an ounce of human nature, can anyone be surprised it trends the way it does? The truly miserable part is that it's all only successful because enough other people lop it up. But the average person is a gullible guppy. Watching people on YouTube just slam likes on obvious GPT comments that are long-winded trite bs or common sense really makes that clear.
It already does. And I'm not worried. This is to be mitigated by law enforcement not by AI forbidding.
