It seems like some kind of internal cesspool overflow, where reason and empathy are pushed aside with force of self-serving actions, and social pressures associated with "succeed or FAIL"
I think the "When it gets a little better" was doing a little more heavy lifting then just a single LLM like we see now. In theory a multi-agent, multimodal may have states that reply with "I don't want to because I don't want to" at least externally. Now the internal state may be closer to something like "Screw doing that, this human seems like an idiot".

It could be worse. They could be automatically closing all issues that they havent solved after 6 months like many projects on GitHub do (VS Code is particularly bad for this one).
I wouldn't be surprised. The objective of design patterns isn't just to have a list of structures in your head you can rattle off in coding interviews. It's to provide you (the coder) with a way to think about program structure and function. Think back to when you learned functional programming. You can say "oh. functional programming is about programming with functions," but that's different than the moment you understood at an intuitive level how to construct programs out of functions. And different from the time you were able to reason about the operation of programs that are constructed out of functions.

I moved from KiCad to Altium: Altium is 100x slower, but I am substantially more productive.

KiCad desperately needs a stackup-aware constraints system, differential impedance/trace width computation, multi-trace routing, etc. in the same way that Altium has. I wish I had time to add the features I want: KiCad is so much more pleasurable to use on average.

Retracting an article due to "editorial standards" is, to extend your analogy, like attributing the need for an emergency hotfix to "QA practices".

Editorial standards should stop bad stories from being published. Saying "we retracted this story because it doesn't meet our editorial standards" begs the question "why are you publishing things that don't meet your editorial standards in the first place?"

It doesn't take responsibility for or explain the mistakes in the article. It doesn't state that the article had factual errors. It's a frustrating cop-out. I sincerely hope this is a temporary measure while Wired gets a more comprehensive retraction put together.

Doctorow is arguing, as usual, for stronger antitrust enforcement. "As antitrust enforcement was progressively neutered—tentatively by Carter, aggressively by Reagan, and with varying degrees of enthusiasm by each successor administration, Republican and Democrat—tech companies were able to simply buy their competitors." That's unusual for a conservative publication. At least in modern times.
Well, yes, the issue is it was fake. But they compounded their fraud by publicly asserting a value of the fund, and the fact they implemented it as a random number shows malicious intent. Sometimes you can wave around incompetence etc as a mitigating factor, but this is clearly intentional deception and this proves it clearly and beyond a doubt.
That's missing my point.

True! In my post I meant for all traffic.
The reason this hasn't been done is that it would require changes to the headers of TCP and UDP, which would be a massive undertaking (for similar reasons to why IPv4 -> IPv6 is such a pain).

Would both the source and destination ports both be strings? Normally, for a client->server packet, the source port is meaningless, so what string would you use? Or would your new protocol support both string ports and integer ports?

Having ports be strings in the TCP header would make the header considerably longer - supposing your protocol had one fixed length 32 ASCII char string port, you'd be looking at something in the region of a 2x increase in header length.

You don't have to be a great programmer to be that productive.

I am not, but I've also been fortunate to have periods in my life where I just got to pour 70-90 hours a week into a programming project, sometimes doing multiple 16-20 hour sessions over night in cafés, then taking a few days off to recover, with no distractions. Including commercial work, at a place with 20 or so other good engineers that allowed for a one-meeting-a-week culture because we just got each other and the tech stack was narrow enough to keep us compatible.

The sheer amount of stuff you can get done and the level of satisfaction are amazing. I will always love those times.

The way you'll fall for a scam like this is by thinking you couldn't fall for one.

To be safe you have to always reject the scammer. To be successful the scammer has to only trick you once. When you're drunk, half awake, your gold fish just died... when the scammer got lucky and had a routine that sounded a lot like a legitimate call you were expecting?

Some of the victims fall for scams because their faculties are failing, but I bet that isn't the case for most (a large portion aren't even elderly)-- and it's certainly not the case for all. A very large portion are romance scams that particularly target younger men.

Accepting that anyone can be scammed including yourself is the very first step to protecting yourself from scammers!

Little free librarys are boxes of free things (books, movies, etc.) in many neighborhoods. They aren't actual libraries. You're expected to take something and leave something else, generally.

I mean encoding in the sense that it takes PCM data and uses a compression algorithm (flac) to make losslessly encoded/compressed files capturing a perfect copy of what was on the disk. So sure, there's a decoding from CD grooves step and then an encoding to flac step technically.

> where at least one of you is regularly seeking out new partners

This isn't always the case. My sample is a bit biased as I rarely interact with cishet folks outside of work, but in my circle, quite a few nonmonogamous folks are quite stable with the 1-3 partners they have for years or decades at a time. As others point out, scheduling is a real limiter and unless you're just doing one-night-stands, it's easy to get "polysaturated" where, yeah, that boy looks cute but I don't have time for him. But what I can do, that I couldn't in a monogamous relationship, is come home and gush about the cute boy I flirted with.
I don’t use high level frameworks like PyTorch because my work is in computational physics so I do actually use the lower level libraries. The documentation doesn’t even come close although it has got better. But they’re just not at feature parity, and that’s not on anyone but AMD currently. They need to invest more in the core libraries.

Just look at cuFFT vs rocFFT for e.g… they aren’t even close to being at feature parity - things like multi GPU is totally missing and callbacks are still “experimental”. These are pretty basic features - bear in mind that when people ported from CPU codes CUDA had to support these because they existed in FFTW (transforms over multiple CPUs rather than GPUs though via MPI).
The series of articles makes it very clear that there are simple, non-high tech things Facebook could have done to mitigate the problem.

I'm going to take a wild stab at a causative effect and note that both Autism and ADHD are associated with compulsive chewing and unusual dietary habits.

That might be a problem in theory, but it's not been a problem in practice for me. I've been on an on-call rota with my current employer for seven years or so, and it's never happened that I've lost even a significant fraction of a weekend. Stuff tends to break while folk are working and making changes, and I've lost evenings to serious outages. Issues out of hours tend to be solved by a roll-back, or a mitigation (like draining a region) that lets us leave the fix until regular working hours.

Probably the most severely interrupted non-working day was when I needed to take an hour between the main couse and pudding one Christmas day, when I was second line on-call and the person who was formally on-call (who doesn't celebrate) needed a second pair of eyes. While the most severely-interrupted working day was probably the one that included this outage: https://medium.com/@SkyscannerEng/how-a-couple-of-characters.... I'm quite proud of the response to that, especially that we quite carefully and deliberately stopped after one region was back up, running in a degraded state overnight in order to make sure we didn't burn out our teams by trying to do too much out of hours.
I have been very interested in the HVM since the first time it was posted on Github. One thing that has been sorely missing is a front-end for any realworld language. This will allow real comparisons of programs instead of tiny toys rewritten from Haskell to interactions nets.
I was giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that they were referring to tech roles. If not, your point is spot on.
Many of these address "paper cuts". Individually, they aren't huge issues. But lots of small annoyances can easily add up and make a language not fun to use, and especially punishing for beginners. That's why some language communities prioritize fixing such paper cut problems. The Haskell community mostly doesn't seem to.

Another minor thing that happens to annoy me very much is how everything about Haskell's syntax and standard conventions is so diff-unfriendly.

To see what I mean, I picked the first "official" example I could find. Here are a few lines of code from the one of the examples in the Haskell playground (https://play.haskell.org/ -- it seems to pick a random one each time you load it):

data Visitor
= Member Profile
| NonMember (Maybe T.Text)
deriving Show

data Profile =
Profile
{ name :: T.Text
, birthday :: Time.Day
} deriving Show

You see Haskell code like this all the time, and the (IMO old-fashioned) lack of an optional trailing comma practically forces you into something like this. But just imagine inserting another variant to Visitor before Member, or removing the name field from Profile!

A more practically minded language might allow a syntax like this:

data Visitor =
| Member Profile
| NonMember (Maybe T.Text)
deriving Show

data Profile = Profile {
name :: T.Text,
birthday :: Time.Day,
} deriving Show

Bamm, each line is identical, editing is easy, diffs are clean. TypeScript, for example, has something like this for union types. Haskell unfortunately doesn't.

One of my great frustrations with the industry is that they've reduced us to this. It did not have to be this way. They could have built a system that allowed people to move media around on home servers, keep offline copies, effectively treated the customer like an adult who understands they paid for one copy of the movie and the reality of digital systems means that movie might actually exist at several places at once. Yet here we are.

I spend a lot of money on media. I go to the movies regularly, I "purchase" movies on digital services, I buy physical media when I can. I think it's important to try to support the things you enjoy in the ways they want you to support them. I also do not believe there's a morally conscionable way to engage with media completely within the law. These villains are happy to make it legally impossible to view a series if it gives them a financial boost. It's just another way in which our legal system clearly departs from the lived experience of "what makes sense.

I understand and respect people who have a more anti-copyright take on our media ecosystem. I get where they are coming from and I support them. I also think it's really important to keep in focus what an unreasonable and imbalanced and a-historical arrangement media companies are insisting on. It's perfectly possible to create a legal system of digital ownership that is in line with physical ownership. There are no boundaries - it could even involve drm! But they absolutely refuse to create one.
It's okay to tell your kids not to touch fragile things. I promise, you won't scar them for life.

But it sounds like owning physical media isn't practical for you anyway if you just watch something once. That alone is sufficient reason, you don't need to blame the kids.
This feels like a possible troll.

I work from home as a software engineer and my job is happy with my performance. But I'm putting in little effort. Am I a bad person or employee? [1]

---

I used to be a Senior Software Engineer at another company but recently I took a lower level 2 position at another company remotely. I am very good at what I do. I can usually take a well groomed agile story in any tech stack and complete it way ahead of schedule. The company always praises me for this.

But the truth is they cannot keep me busy. I know I can help out else where but my output is already so very high, especially compared to everyone else.

So instead I just sit around all day playing video games while I wait for my next work assignment. This can sometimes be days or even a week. I don't go looking for it. I have so much free time on hands that I am seriously considering getting a 2nd full time software engineering job remotely and doing this all over again.

No one is the wiser.

Does this make a bad person or employee?

It's easy to say that, but it makes me wonder to what extent that's just projecting our culture onto all other possible realities due to a failure of imagination/taking aspects of our culture as immutable laws of nature.
For context, Balmer was talking about Windows Mobile. Windows Phone came later and had to compete with Android as well as iOS.

When my Symbian phone broke, I went with Windows Phone 8. I bought a refurbished Dell with a hardware keyboard and it was a much better experience than the iPhone I am typing on now.

But Google effectively banned Windows Phone from YouTube and that sucked. And the Dell Phone camera went bad and had they sent me a replacement under warranty.

I replaced the Dell with a big screen LG Android phone after my contract was up because the camera sensor had a giant dust. Later I replaced the LG with a Lumix running Windows Phone when that contract was up because of the Lumix camera…this was after Microsoft bought Nokia.

Again no YouTube.

The camera in that phone failed while I was on a road trip. Microsoft replaced it under warranty. And when it broke in a pants pocket, my child said “just get an iPhone” and I have had this one for five years and it was only $99 to have the battery replaced last year.

So Windows Phone was a great OS but I had poor experience with the hardware. And Google first broke the YouTube app and then wouldn’t even allow the Edge Mobile browser over http.
unlikely

it's not in any way implying that BPA exposure is causing neurodivergentnl disorders

so it's more like if you, through unrelated reasons have autism, you are also more likely to be worse at handling BPA

in general there is strong indication that autism is largely related to genes

also science is increasingly moving away from calling it a disorder, it seems to be more like a natural variation instead. A variation which happens to be not very compatible with modern society and therefore often comes hand in hand with disorders like e.g. anxiety disorders caused by the friction modern society exposes on them. I mean think about a societyb strictly build for people at most 1.60m in height but you are 2.20m, you likely would have all kinds of mental and physical issues from the fact that everything in the world isn't compatible with your body size.
