People spend thousands to avoid having to wear glasses or contacts all the time.

Now you can wear them all the time again, but now with more ads?

EDIT to add something less snarky: phones were a "here's another thing to carry in your purse or pocket" additive thing to lifestyles, which wasn't too big a burden, and then gradually got more and more useful. Glasses and contacts, on the other hand, have decades of evidences of people actively avoiding them except for situational stuff. So them getting as pervasive as phones would need a lot more behavioral change.

Long intellectual collaborations are a common good.

Yes, that is the source for my assertion that culture/collective thought/pre-computed results is of primary importance ("essential"). You need way more than mere primitives to get upto any useful level of knowledge in a given lifetime.

> By virtue of emotional audit, knowledge I accept is assimilated by me, becomes mine. It was made by my allies, essentially by past instances of myself - nothing external here.

In other words, you are "sampling" something from the common culture based on an "emotional audit", and then tweaking the sample to suit your "preferences"? In other words:

P = Bundle of preferences (sampling biases that an emotional audit will check for)

I_1 = State of Identity

T = Transformation function that converts a sample of common good to suit the bundle of preferences

I_2 = State of Identity after integrating the result of transformation

I_1 + T(P(CG)) => I_2 (your formula)

i.e previous_identity_state + transform(select(common_good)) = new_identity_state

You argue that if, transform(select1(common_good)) = select2(common_good), then select1 = select2 i.e preference1 = preference2 [1]

The problem with this model is that it is dualistic; you envision immutable (?) preferences and mutable identity states (and obviously mutable common good which is a super set of identity states and 'other stuff'). The common good is getting manipulated in a distributed and concurrent way all the time, so even if the preferences remain immutable, the common good keeps changing, and therefore [1] wouldn't work out (the actual equation will have common_good1 and common_good2)... I think all dualistic ideas of defining the mind tend to get into this sort of trap.

That is, the following will not remain true ("create functionally similar designs") due to changes/updates in the common good (especially across time):

> So if we have same preferences, we are one. And it seems obvious that people with similar preferences will create functionally similar designs.)

I think a better model is to consider all localized preferences as part of the larger common good. There is just one common good (due to "dependency" of thoughts), across time and space, out of which everything emerges ("collective thought"). Such a model wouldn't admit any sort of immutable identity within the realm of thought.
It's a race to the bottom. You build an idiot-proof UI, Mother Nature builds a better idiot.
The functionalist view does have it's attractions for describing the colonial interactions that occured in Australia.

The ideas explained need more meat on the bone, via some big lateral moves to flesh out the prexisting structures..

But the narrative it paints about Australian history is a little awkward...

Pinning Gallipolli on the failings of remittance men and other-such pharisaic characters waters down the Digger archetype that sprung out of that misery and also voids the average australian from final responsibility in their deaths, because it implies they too were simply following orders.

Aussie men may follow orders, but the core ethos is a permanently half-hearted commitment to governance, and particularly 'management'. The knowledge and management worker/class is not in final command as they could be in Britian, they are the punching bag and institutional communication structure for the government's centralized authority. Sickening, but true.

The aussie among mates rejects orders from above, if the two-hearts in his feelings, do not connect together with management and authority, and it cannot be any other way. Aussie soldiers are written of, as being liable to excessively exaggerate problems and otherwise make a dog's dinner of plausible, but minor problems as a method of gaining 'breathing room' for potential disagrement (now and in the future).

Ned Kelly's phrase 'let's see what a native can do', describes the split effectively, as if the guy on the ground is not actually governed or owned by the ruling class/classes.

This is why aussies will always respond positively (rarely spoken) to the idea that gallipoli was Churchhill's fault. It not only supports the idea that all decisions in the British heirarchy are made from the top down, but also retrenches the facts that aussies reserve the right to disagree with upper classes, no matter what.

And also the idea of remittance men being the prime movers/most signficant forces in the colonizatikn of australia, is not sastifying. The first fleet went through incresibly difficult and dark times to scrape a living out of hard conditions and the ruling classes (lords, ect) actually invested in, and wanted the emancipated criminals and aussies to flourish.

The deportation of criminals and the incredible reluctance for the British leadership to actually send out the First Fleet and colonize thenplace, had to be tipped over with promises of flax, a tree suitable for building warships and contributing to the navy. Probably similar to today's reuctance to colonize mars.

To hand over the reigns of success to remittance men, cuts out the kalgoorlie gold rush, the work done by explorers and CYO Connor and many european immigrants.

So yes, the structure of this essay is somewhat valuable and holds good concepts in the way it is structured and the way it describes some functionalist structured.

But it is not even a full wank in terms of content, it is just the suggestion of... and the bits it does mention don't really line up as well as the author might have hoped.

Bunch of discussion from 3 years ago on it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25031486
I'm picturing that scene a few episodes into the soul art anime - I barely remember it but the main character was so overpowered, he was standing there absorbing a full barrage from a much lower ranked opponent flooding him with punches and kicks; the main character's health regenerated so quickly that the attack didn't have effects.

In 2014 I was working on a hardware appliance for a company that has something to do with packet capture, and I found an intel driver that implemented a ring buffer on a 1 gigabit Ethernet adapter that allowed me to capture line rate without dropping a single packet over the course of hours; prior to this the adapter was barely able to capture 90% of the packets. I remember marveling at the design that must have gone into it, and here too to your description of this performance improvement.

I miss that stuff. Thanks for sharing,

'Make Something Investors Want' Kills Startups
I have seen the failure of 4 tech startups from the inside. As I consider what startup to join next, I've reflected extensively on these failures. Rather than adhering to YC's dictum of "Make something people want," each startup followed a dangerous variant: "Make something investors want," setting them down a path of irreparable compromise and eventual failure.

Startups are experiments – a bet on a particular vision of the future, predicated on unconventional insight. The initial vision is rarely perfect, and requires iterative development guided by user feedback. Yet, if that feedback mechanism is flawed – if it's optimized for delivering value to investors rather than delivering value to actual users – the startup's trajectory inevitably veers off course.

The early stages of a startup are the purest – angel investors and accelerators place a bet on a vision and a team, and know that finding product-market fit takes time. However, once a startup moves past the seed stage, the nature of its investors often changes. At this point, many startups find themselves surrounded by financial investors whose primary, if not sole, concern is to generate returns on their investment.

Revenue is, of course, an important metric. But it's a noisy one. It tells you that something is working but not necessarily what or why. Each of my failed startups generated revenue by diverging from their initial vision by tailoring their products to a small, non-scalable market. Revenue became an exercise in local optimization – a way to make numbers look good for the next funding round, even if it meant sacrificing the long-term global optimization of unicorn-sized growth.

A big part of a startup CEO's job is to raise money. This is where the drift starts. As an early startup's growth inevitably falters, the CEO’s attention starts to diverge from building something special to something common. While this may succeed in raising another round of funding, it does so often at bad terms and at the expense of the startup's soul.

The irony here is that by trying to make something investors want, startups usually make something that no one wants in the long run. The product becomes too diluted or too niche, unable to sustain the growth that excited investors in the first place. The startup becomes a zombie – alive at a distance, but dead on the inside. Eventually, the company's morale and runway converge to zero.

The most successful startups are those that maintain a delicate balance between their vision and the pragmatic needs of business. They raise money from investors who buy into their vision and are patient enough to let the startup iterate toward product-market fit. They focus on revenue as a means, not an end, and never lose sight of their mission to make something that people want. Straying from this path may yield short-term gains, but it rarely ends well for anyone without a board position.
Vision pro is all about mixed reality. So is the quest 3. As far as I can tell most of the difference between 2 and 3 is the vastly improved mixed reality. Basically this device is positioning itself to be the consumer version of the vision pro.

I got totally flamed for having too-long line lengths on the email list when I submitted my first patch. I wasn't a bit mad, since it was my fault for not reading the contributors docs. I've grown to appreciate the no BS approach they take.

My suburb has houses crammed together so close I can see into my neighbors kitchen if the blinds aren't close. When I do go mow my lawn I have the alcoholic on the one side come out and complain to me about his life and an old retired lawn obsessed guy on the other side come tell me how my lawn is shit and I need to take better care of it.

And I'm just thankful I'm no longer in apartments where I have to deal with neighbours screaming matches at 3am, people having parties above me every single weekend, crappy landlords, and all the other shit.
This sounds miserable and pointless to me. I would without question prefer to live alone forever than in such a constricting, untrusting situation.
Deno is just trying to compete with other JS/TS SaaS with this. Vercel/NextJS has a KV service now; Cloudflare has it; in other cases it's Firebase.

I contend that this is not actually forward thinking, but monetising Deno as a SaaS, which every man and his dog is doing in the JS world lately with their 'cloud' offerings (reselling AWS with a framework). That's why there is a pricing page attached to this.

If Deno's KV depends on FoundationDB then they're hardly going to build adapters over other databases - switching DB tech is always a massive ordeal because they all have different use-cases and performance characteristics.

Doesn't seem bulletproof. I made a .sh script that touches a file in each of those dirs and ran it. It didn't ask for permission. Privacy settings don't have full disk access or individual file access granted to iTerm2, in case that matters.

Edit: Nothing has full disk access either. I even see bash listed as explicitly not having access.
Definitely. There's too many '00s distro pages I've seen that hide away the screenshots away from the front page, almost as if they're afraid to show off their system.

> I think that great OSS leaders are few and far between.

We can also revert this and say that great contributors are "few and far between".

Collaboration, patience, and empathy is a two-way street. Could the maintainer have done better? I guess; I would have done things a bit different. Then again, maybe their dog died that morning and they were in a foul mood? I'm not joking: people aren't perfect, they have good and bad days for all sorts of reasons, etc. Everyone makes a mistake now and again.

But whatever this maintainer could have done better, this blog post also isn't a good look: sour grapes a year and a half later and making a big deal out of what is really a singular minor personal conflict (and with some misrepresentations to boot). Now, maybe the author's dog died this morning, so I'm not going to attach any far-fetched conclusions about this person, or about Cisco, because again, everyone has bad days and no one is perfect.

Making a big deal out of any mistake or conflict is also toxic, as is making rather strong conclusions about a person based on a single event.
I thought it was odd that an independent journalist wouldn't even mention Tesla's Autopilot in an article about self driving. They did mention several other glorified lane assist systems (Bluecruise, SuperCruise, Lane Assist), but not Autopilot? Bluecruise is just about to hit 100 million cumulative miles compared to Autopilot's 3.5 billion cumulative miles.

Honestly, with the high price and relatively severe limitations this system seems like more of a gimmick than anything else. If you commute in California every day in heavy traffic I can see maybe considering it, but that price point is discouraging.

Drive Pilot enables taking your eyes off the road, choosing to keep your eyes on the road doesn't undo that capability.

They also guarantee 10 seconds between disengaging and requiring your control: meaning they're assuming liability during disengagements.

They handle emergency vehicles, using external microphones to yield right of way for lights and sirens autonomously.

_

Overall assuming liability took solving a lot of problems that laypeople keep assuming are trivial because L3 looks so similar to L2. I work in the AV industry and Drive Pilot leapfrogged a lot of offerings.

BMW is just now working through European certification for the 7 series, so their original estimate of 2025 doesn't seem far off for US markets.

Tesla apparently doesn't even want to try at this and is content with stretching the L2 rubber band as far as it can while pushing flashy demos
A lot of taxi drivers discriminate against people with disabilities (some uber drivers do this too, they see you with your cane or walker and just drive past and cancel). Perhaps except in San Francisco where paratransit is a majority of taxi fares.

Robotaxis don't discriminate. You can get banned after the fact if you do prohibited things like snorting coke or having sex in the robotaxi, but they don't see a cane and assume you're not going to pay the fare.

In the worse case management thinks the dev didn't do anything at all and are less likely to assign similar work in the future.

In my experience, yes, companies love any way of gaining prestige and contributing to OS is one of them. For some devs it's a strong positive signal when a company they interview for contributes to OS.

There are also performance reviews to be done, where it's a positive to be able to say you/ a dev you manage achieved x.

Even though ChatGPT has certain guardrails to prevent it from regurgitating copyright verbatim, additional chapters, or writing prequels, you can use workarounds such as asking for output in a similar style to [source material]. Sound familiar? Writers and artists have been influenced by other writers and artists for as long as there has been writing and artists. AI is just being made to be a boogeyman due to the innate fear of change and the unknown. If anyone should be using AI as just another tool in their tool-belt, it’s creative workers. It may just help you think of something you hadn’t already thought of and help organize and edit your work. Also, the way it’s looking generative AI illiteracy in the future, would be similar to being computer illiterate today. So, reject at your own peril.
Emailed patches are not a huge deal for you after submission, and theoretically the first submission should be the same for both (apart from the tool you use to make it). Maintainers reply to emails with comments and you reply to them. The maintainers need to have or setup some specialized tooling to replace GitHub's CI and automation, but you don't care about that[1].

The main difference is that GitHub projects often do squash-on-merge, therefore you add fixes on top and also the commit messages don't mean much. Linux instead keeps the individual pieces so they want you to pay huge attention to the individual commit messages, the buildability and functionality at each step, and squashing each fix in the right patch.

This means that reacting to the reviews, and sending subsequent versions of the changeset, is actually harder than sending the first submission! The reason however is unrelated to the use of an email workflow.

[1] For the specific case of Linux, testing is way out of scope of GitHub/Gitlab's CI; for other projects using email workflow, you can usually push to a branch to have CI run and only submit when it's green.
