At some point, companies become big enough that innovation is a risk (Innovater's dilemma). Atlassian is likely at this stage. Ofcourse, loom's tech is nothing impressive, one could argue that only a small segment of enterprise Loom customers would be willing to convert to Atlassian ecosystem. Nonetheless, the show must go on and Atlassian has to choose action instead of inaction to please the stock market. Good exit for loom though!
Once you have a family, living in SF is a very poor proposition, unless you are very well compensated. And if you are very well compensated, the taxes are really bad especially compared to services and quality of life.

I think SF makes the most sense for childless males between 22 and 30. After that I would find a new home base.
My comment is specific to docker, although environment as a broader sense can be discussed.

I remember reading that it is possible to end up in situations where your environments can end up in the layers of the docker image. Also, you can read the secrets of a container with inspect, and apparently linked containers might be able to access other containers's secrets.

I think it was this article:

Waiting for a future, where you cannot simply look at a ticket, but have to skip through a video over and over again, just like with voice messages that people send on messengers. Instead of having to think about clear writing in tickets, one has a vague not well defined speech in a video. Then maybe they will add automatic transcription and again people will think "Now it's all fine!", which of course it won't be.
This looks like a really awesome project.

But, I can't understand if this is a subscription service or I can simply self-host. I don't want to sign up without having that information first.
Same. I have photospheres of many remote places and would revisit them in VR. It was magical. I wish the capability was further developed instead of dropped.
The New AI Panic
"Washington and Beijing have been locked in a conflict over AI development. Now a new battle line is being drawn."
Is this an actual product that you can buy today?

Anyone got one and can comment on if it's actually useful and works as advertised?
To MITM me they'd need the intermediate or root certs of whatever I am connecting to? I don't see how even pinning the cert would help if the chain is invalid to begin with.
Hard disagree. My guess is that AI is actually a race-to-the-bottom dynamic. Given the competition across all/every FAANG and tons of startups, my guess is we’ll have a wide range of options for APIs across clouds and providers. On the consumer side we’ll have a range of options for chatbots, API integrations, and more.

For most use cases of AI, there is a ceiling to how intelligent it needs to be. I am guessing we’ll be selecting from dozens of models based on various sizes, context lengths, etc. Just like we right-size VMs in the cloud.

Have they invented e-sim dumbphones? Would be nice to just have something to add to my main account and just use that when out and about doing something stupid that might involve drowning my main phone or cracking the screen
I've resulted into a pretty similar setup.

We use SOPS and the encrypted .env file is stored in VCS.
The key is stored in 1password with instructions on where to stuff it on your machine. Then you just decrypt the .env file and you're off to the races.

So far I’ve tried: Turkey, Malaysia, South Korea and Canada (the latter just barely).

The worst answers I’ve gotten have been random guesses. The best answers I’ve gotten have been “I don’t know”.

No specific diagnosis or treatment plan. Korean orthopedic doc prescribed me an antipsychotic. Thanks!

Now I’m in East Asia.

If it makes logical sense, I can pay the money and take the time and fly to the USA. Just don’t want to encounter the same shooting-in-the-dark after all that effort.
The only metric that matters for a business is whatever helps their bottom line. No one really cares about competitive results if they can just fine tune some open source model on their own data set and get good business outcomes. So if there is good data and access to compute infrastructure to train and fine tune some open source model then the only obstruction to figuring out if AI works for the business or not is just a matter of setting up the training and deployment pipeline. That requires some expertise but that can be learned on the job as well or from any number of freely available tutorials.

I don't think AI is hard to learn. The fundamentals are extremely simple and a competent software engineer can learn all the required concepts in a few months. It's easier if you already have a background in mathematics but not required. If you can write software then you can learn how to write differentiable tensor programs with any of the AI frameworks.
I have a lot of doubt Atlassian can build anything in a reasonable timeframe. CLOUD-6999.
There is a massive gap between a vendor hawking their wares on the street, and modern ad campaigns and techniques.

To conflate those 2 as being remotely similar in levels of influence (even at an individual level) is insane.

Also, I'm not sure why you jumped to assuming that I apparently believe advertising shouldn't be allowed, just because I can acknowledge that it is based entirely on selfish intent by the ad creators?

All I said was that ads are a form of misinformation. You're the one drawing conclusions about what responses that must entail.

If you prefer to pretend it's not misinformation just because you apparently cannot reconcile that stance, and allowing ads to continue to exist, that's a "you" problem.
There is another considerable danger: people in denial of what's happening, becoming involuntary spreaders of deglobalization by performing the rituals that used to bring back the illusion of endless progress, physics and stubborn tardedness of mankind be damned. These old world zombies are a danger to themselves and others, delaying adaption, giving ever more territory to mad ideas and authoritarians.
But it satisfies my dopamine kick reading for a minute about something i only vaguely care about so i don’t have the need to buy the paper whereas with a straight cutoff the frustration would be higher
Elastic tab stops would be the Right Thing if they were implemented anywhere at all https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/
The scales with electrical body fat measurements are crap, little better than random number generators. I have compared results on a few of those with actual DXA scans and the scales are way off. The readings sometimes also vary by 2% from day to day, which isn't physiologically possible. Don't waste your money.
Um...yeah? Did anyone familiar with the ESA actually expect otherwise?

Compared to NASA's Senate Launch System, Ariane 6 is shaping up to be a paragon of on-time, under-budget aerospace engineering excellence.
I like this comment because I think it highlights the exact difference between AI optimists and AI cynics.

I think you'll find that AGI cynics do not agree at all that "engineering a 10x/100x version" of what we have and making it attempt "AGI algorithms 24/7 in an evolutionary setting" is a "safe ticket" to AGI.
It's almost a guarantee in SaaS. Look at Salesforce with Heroku, Tableau and Slack.
This seems to be the practical issue: if more precise tests like hydrodensitometry were needed before prescriptions were issued, fewer drugs would be sold:

> "That’s especially concerning with the exploding demand for new anti-obesity medications. In the United States, a person can be prescribed semaglutide for weight loss simply if their BMI is 30 (the lower bound of the obesity category) or more. With a BMI of between 25 and 30 — the overweight category — a person needs just one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, to get a prescription. “If you have 15 minutes in a visit,” Stanford says, “you’re going to follow the BMI … instead of really taking the time to see ‘Do they need the medication?’”

For a list of more accurate measurement approaches:

Twist is much nicer than Slack in my opinion. The signal to noise ratio tends to be much better, and I find myself distracted by it far less because information I need is much easier to find when I need it.
I "played" D&D once with some people who play quite a bit, and was confused. Maybe I was expecting more clear rules of how to "win"? It seemed like it was more of a "choose you're own adventure" story rather than a game since the dungeon master is able to change the rules as you go and pretty much decide whether or not you are "successful" with whatever goals are established at the beginning. Is that accurate? In the end, it was a little frustrating and I decided I don't get it so I've never tried again.
When I was in the best shape of my life, in the military, my BMI was "too high" even though I was lean and of healthy proportions. I've always taken it with a grain of salt since then.
People pay for it. It’s probably something like 30x revenue or whatever growth valuation but still the point stands: it’s good enough to have quite a few paying customers.
Wow, what a great filter the CEO came up with. If someone doesn't want to use the product, they probably won't make a good fit to work there.
Microsoft implemented the same functionality in Office365 (it's called Stream). I think it's a great exit to sell to Atlassian.
Sad to see this go. I always enjoyed making photo spheres when traveling to show family members and friends my point of view. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn good for what it was!
Elastic Tab Stops (2017)
That's a weird bar to clear. How many companies are offering a search engine that are profitable, "aside from 4-5 companies"?

I don't see any fundamental technical problems at the moment, I see constant and tangible improvement at a very fast pace. I don't think that supposed challenges in context augmentation or chat interface evaluation qualify as arguments against AI hype.
The stereo effect Cardboard Camera produced was really good, just with a regular phone without needing any special stereo camera hardware. Shame it's not available anymore.

In the last year, they have developed what they call a “product” focus. But they still do more basic research, good luck getting a GPU allocation though.
I might be missing something but there are tons of 2br+ rentals around $4k a month. That seems perfectly affordable on a USD200k/yr salary. Maybe it's a matter of adjusting one's expectations?!
I agree that it's the abuse that's the problem, but consider that technology greatly exacerbates this problem. Technology can currently provide private connections at scale, even somewhat private payment - and this opportunity is abused greatly, in part to further abuse children. The problem is, and I agree with this argument, that even perfect control over technology doesn't solve the child abuse issue, never mind the other abuses of private communication and payment. We do moderate content in case of social networks, hosting providers, platform providers and at a myriad of other places too. So technological measures are already taken.

I'm doubtful we'll ever solve, or even greatly reduce, the child abuse issue, on a human level. I don't see that we (as in, the humanity) ever solved a people problem. I think with technology, we could at least try to work out something that amplify it further. Similar to how we have a framework on how to behave well, codified and enforced as law, instead of systems that would produce humans that don't do those things in the first place.
I'm hoping tech plateaus and the bubbles burst. Maybe Silicon Valley would become livable again with normal cities and regular housing, not this gilded dystopia we have with the ultra rich tech class dabbling in society, popping into cities to make a quick buck before moving on and leaving behind a wasteland of empty giant towers. Meanwhile everyone else, like the families who've been there for decades, suffers from the hyperinflation we cause.

I remember when San Francisco was so awesome as a kid. Now every time I visit it feels more and more like Blade Runner :/ Seattle is suffering the same fate. Meanwhile someplace like Chicago is vibrant with life and culture, with affordable housing everywhere. I can't help but think it's the tech that's the problem, not the other way around.
Yea, I agree. I similarly used it when I was moving I would take 360 photos of my old rooms or for seasonal decorations to see how the room changes over time. It looks like there are some decent 3rd party ones on the market but we'll see. It was a nice partner to cardboard.
Because Rome and Greece. The Greek states lost militarily, but ultimately won culturally.

Also (still) the third largest economy in the world, and for a decently long time, second. That necessarily leaves its mark on the rest of the world.

Why doesn't China enjoy the same sort of influence? Because they erased much of their culture during communism.
It's considerably better looking for a start.
Just to be clear, the formula for BMI is

'weight (lb) / [height (in)]^2 x 703'

and all the talk of "it's the cheapest and easiest way" ignores the fact that we could add other cheap measurements (like hip and shoulder circumference, or Age) or we could reexamine the formula without adding new variables to make it better.

I imagine lots of property owners in SF will say this out loud as they worry the peak is gone.

There will always be tech there, but the next FAAMG won't be located there until they hit the 100M milestone.

I say this as someone that lives in an area far past its peak. The money is still here, the knowledge is still here, but the growth is gone.

I'm not sure it's even helpful to talk about transformer at all[0]. Modern LLMs are different than the pure transformer architecture in many detailed aspects. The elephant in the room being that they're not even full transformer—only the decoder part.

[0]: One reason: Never once did I need to know the transformer architecture in order to be able to use these models (prompt engineering, chaining, working with local models, etc.).

I argue that the knowledge of concepts such as ROPE, Mirostat, monkeypatching, etc. is much more crucial than knowing how transformer models work.

> I tend to stick with the higher level explanation that they can predict the next word (or next sentence) based on their training text,

I think the same way, but I think it reduces LLMs into "black boxes"—many other models can also predict next tokens based on probabilities. I think we need something that at least captures the general mechanism by which LLMs predict the next token.
What I worry about with IRV (which is usually how rank choice ballots are counted) is that if we assume that the proper compromise between people in a legitimate disagreement is usually no one's first choice, IRV specifically excludes that compromise.

In a hypothetical world, roughly evenly split on religion, where everyone would be pretty okay with secular tolerance, picking secular tolerance seems like the way to go.
But if most people would somewhat prefer to try and force their particular religion on everyone if they can get away with it, secular tolerance will be everyone's second choice and will be discarded in the first round of voting... unless enough people recognize the dynamic and vote strategically rather than honestly, but that undermines the point of RCV.

I'll leave it to you to decide for yourself how much the real world resembles that hypothetical, but as I said it worries me.

Tabs and Spaces – Smarter Indentation
This is why I have developed an aversion towards any plastics containing halogens: chlorinated like PVC, materials with brominated flame retardants, or worse: fluorinated compounds like PFAS.

Burn those, and a whole slew of nasties is produced.

Common plastics like PE, PP & such at least in theory can burn cleanly. If so: make 'm bio-based, maybe a few downcycling steps, followed by burning, maybe isn't too bad overall.

I have a bigger problem with discarded plastic (and related: microplastics) getting everywhere in our environment. That's an overlapping but different problem.

Plastics have their uses & advantages, but we really should be more critical about where they're needed & where not.
Minimizing S3 API Costs with Distributed MMAP
I think BMI isn't relevant when one's already in the best shape of their lives. It's an ok metric when you're not.
It's also had great secondary benefits for Google Maps. I've contributed quite a few photo spheres to Google Maps over the years, which show up on Street View in areas that a Street View car would never be able to get to.

AFAIK, Google doesn't hand out Android certification for e-ink devices and without the certification a manufacturer can't bundle Google Services on the device.
>please do submit some feedback on kagifeedback.org

To do so requires a kagi user account, which I don't have and don't want. It also requires knowing your issue organizational schema to find privacy policy related "bugs" and "features". If you are serious about taking feedback, consider taking the content of this thread to BE that feedback, and do the work of adding it into your bug tracker yourself, with links back to this thread.

And also, I am not a lawyer, and neither are you, so I'd consider hiring one to revise the policy with an eye toward increasing your liability for the right reasons.
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro came out last year. The 7a came out this year, which is the same pattern they've used for the past few generations. As far as the yearly cadence, well, that's what everyone does now. I agree that a couple years between generations would be better, but that doesn't seem to be the prevailing opinion.
>It seems wrong to me that policy is subsidizing the purchasing habits of the richer half of the population.

It isn't? There is no minimum income on the rebate. This is a red herring argument.
But which instance should I choose?

I'm not being sarcastic. It's just really easy to use most other social networks. I go to twitter.com or facebook.com or whatsapp, and I make an account.

Mastadon is not user friendly. It's like which instance do I choose, does that instance align with my values, does that instance interconnect with all the servers I want to interconnect with, does that instance interconnect with servers that I don't want to interconnect with, will that instance be available in 20 years and I will lose all my connections if it doesn't?

My perception of signing up for mastadon is that it's a giant research project in how to sign up for mastadon that I don't have time for. I could be totally wrong and incorrect in my list of questions, but that's my perception and why I think it's unlikely that mastadon can achieve widespread adoption. If I can't easily figure out how I should sign up for it, what's going to be the catalyst for adoption?

I don’t think the background is really that important tbh.

From physics I have a good theoretical grounding in how ML works (optimizing a cost function over a high dimensional manifold to reconstruct a probability distribution, then using the distribution for some task) but I personally find actually ‘doing ML’ to be rather dull.
Hey yeah, totally sensible question - wish I had a better answer. Unfortunately there isn't a great way to transfer an ongoing campaign. That's one of the main issues with getting folks to try out new virtual tabletops - there's some pretty established platforms already out there and there's a fair amount of lock in. Especially if you consider the assets a lot of DMs have purchased on those platforms, like you mentioned.

But I'm hoping eventually Diceright will have enough 'killer features' that people will give it a shot anyway. Would be great if you guys would consider it once you finish your current campaign. Thanks!
True! It's still a useful product, but the pressure to keep getting huge-r is always there I guess. I knew someone who worked there and they seemed pretty desperate for new initiatives (like the failed Paper). Most of their competitors have online storage as part of their product portfolio. I don't know of anything else major that Dropbox does...
'Playable Documentary' About a 1984 Classic Is One of the Year's Best Games
I understand that stuff like Loom exists and people use it. But people are saying it makes no sense, not that it doesn't happen.

> also forcing junior engineers to do this for a PR guarantees the feature works/is a form of QA... life saver being able to share a quick video of some code and the bug youre getting

Developers who don't know if what they write works or who can't express a bug in words... they're in trouble. You don't need experience for that. Non-developers / non-pros doing QA is symptomatic of greater problems.

> life saver being able to share a quick video

Who is supposed to be watching these videos? In your honest, no-BS assessment, when you're staring at these Zooms you might be doing professionally with like 9 people and only 1 of them is an engineer, and he's offshore: like isn't that the problem?
I think it's more likely that Atlassian gives it away for free to its client base .. groups like Linear are coming after them and tools like Loom make a material difference in getting quality work out the door. we use it for outward facing and training material, but the royal honey is when you can async-align on product initiatives down to the pixel. Video is a powerful story telling tool in today's remote world.

Figma on the other hand will have to sway towards Atlassian territory to add value to the tech bit of the pipeline. the dev mode has made it clear they are headed that way, on their own terms.

I just wish that more founders prioritize enterprise customers and clear the way to onboard by investing in compliance (SOC-2) reporting early! it's a total showstopper and that's unfortunate for all sides.
They should have to include some actual reason, perhaps a QR code or something which can produce a Cancer Facts.

Or really just add Cancer Facts into Nutrition Facts, complete with estimated QALY cost per serving. They should also incorporate IQ damage and not only cancer.
Thanks for reading. Sorry if this was confusing! Microsoft said that i4i was a patent troll despite the court repeatedly telling Microsoft to not do that. The judge referred to Microsoft's repeated ignoring of its instructions as "persistent" etc. i4i had an operating business; it wasn't a patent troll. That operating business is niche and small, but it is real. I have updated that sentence to make it clearer. Thanks for your feedback!
