On the other hand, there seem to be people who have extreme lack of empathy for others, and some subset of those are capable of doing moderate-to-extremely harmful things to those around them. Most people have probably met one of the more extreme examples once in their lives, and there was no doubt to you that the way that person approached the world (and other people) was very different than the way you did.

We don't understand enough about the human brain to predict reliably who has these issues, but it's useful to know that for the extreme cases at least, it isn't just a disagreement.
This is what my municipality does. There's a maker space run out of the main library with 3d printers, CNCs, laser cutters etc. Just need a library card and to pay some usage fees for materials to access it.
Clearly there's a substantial difference between an individual and a nation of people.

So, what would you suggest instead of an arbitrary cap? Just carry on and let these individuals continue to destroy the world so that they can continue hoarding more wealth than they can ever use?

Built a Tool for Efficient Pitch Deck Sharing After Struggling with WhatsApp File Limits

I recently faced a unique challenge: My investor wanted our pitch deck sent over WhatsApp. I had designed it meticulously using Figma, but post-export, the file size ballooned to over 100MB, making WhatsApp transmission impossible.

Pain points I grappled with:

* WhatsApp's refusal to handle beefy files, making pitch deck sharing a hassle.
* Emails getting rejected due to colossal attachment sizes.
* Exasperatingly slow download speeds on platforms like Google Drive.
* Figma’s lack of file size trimming options.
* Adobe Acrobat’s limited compression scope.
* Mac’s Preview app, while great for text-centric PDFs, doesn’t quite cut it for high-res images.

Not to mention, turning to online services brought up privacy concerns, especially with the absence of file management options.

The Solution: I crafted a tool that bridges these gaps. A desktop version is in the pipeline and I’ll update here once it's live. Feedback, critiques, and suggestions welcome!
I just buy domains and fantasize what business I could create with it.

But never get around to ever doing it.

Maybe I should start a domain buying business :)
> lock free replication used in multi-user editing

I understand that author was referring to the concept of a minimal version that does just text editing and nothing more. Add features to anything and it will stop being simple and easy.

However, the author might also be generalizing and referring to "MS Word" as a text editor, which a lot of people unfortunately do. This is where I would disagree with the author's premise.
Since they won't deign to explain it, I guess it's fair for me to go with my gut and assume that "Steel Perlot" means nothing and was chosen simply because it sounds pretentious.
Heat is not at all "fundamentally mysterious." We know exactly what it is, how and why it occurs, and how it will change over time.

We don't know any of those things with regard to consciousness.

Granted, the answer to your last question is a resounding "no," but we can say that because we know exactly what "heat" is.
I doubt that even touches the interest.

Often wonder if these former CEOs invest in/start health companies. I would love to try and accelerate research in a few niche fields that are underfunded.
Exactly, for one this seems like just another Schmidt Futures, which is a non profit version of the same thing which he and his wife Wendy launched together

And secondly, having run in those circles for a little while, everything I read in this article was typical.

If you’re relying on other companies in order to do or announce anything, then it works on the other companies schedule. Lots of “letters on intents” and things that do not translate into a wire transfer. Lots of talks at hotel cafes near the actual conference, that are overhyped as anything meaningful. Everybody does this. I don’t enjoy this but I know many many people that operate this way.

And the article also failed to mention what’s failing. If it’s an investor in other companies as an incubator, it can be an investor. It is very common for one company to lead the relationship while another company moves the funds. That’s nobody’s business. Declining to mention your other investors doesn’t mean anything.

Schmidt Futures is a vanity project too. It is just structured in the best way for not getting that perception, using the non profit tax code. Like every other “philanthropic arm” that’s not leveraging anonymity that the state affords non profits.

So who cares?

This is just celebrity gossip.

And misogyny.

for two reasons:

1 being that I don't see the same denigration from other companies operating the same way, when it could be applied to many wannabe founders.

2 the whole thing is supposed to be about a 29 year old woman taking advantage of a billionaire. which even if that was the entire extent of the relationship, being annoyed by that choice is based on disdain from not having the hardware to have the same choices. if its not the total extent then the article has no reason to exist, especially without quantifying whats not going well.

is it “not going well” at investing in a fruit salad of AI startups? why were the expenses so high? is it because it has a bunch of illiquid investments because it successfully invested? the article didn’t say.
> How does a major corp allow this to happen.

Because if Shopify gets the take-down request and ignores it, they are now potentially liable for the infringing content remaining available after the complaint has been made. Reviewing each complaint requires billable hours for someone, and just blanket accepting every one and removing the content is easily automated and incredibly cheap. And because they're so big and handle so many websites, even if every complaint is invalid and bullshit, the stores that get nuked in the process won't hurt their bottom line as much as a potential IP lawsuit would.
Comments like this always miss the point. The root issue is "rules for thee but not for me".

The wealthiest 0.01% have ways to avoid and evade taxes that others don't. It's a fairness problem.
I'd prefer not to see disparaging comments about someone's personal relationship here.

Sometimes there's a legitimate business reason to know that two executives have a strong personal relationship of some kind. Since strong personal relationships can present conflicts of interest. (No need to go into details, nor publicly editorialize.)

Other than that, the personal lives of people are their own business. We don't have understand or agree with everyone else's situations; only to coexist with the people. Let's not be conditioned by the awful "celebrity news" industry and Twitter culture.
People care but they have other concerns like compatibility that force them to surrender to bad software.

Look how bad the self checkout experience is. You might say “if people cared, they would shop elsewhere”. But people want to buy food more than boycott a store with bad software.
This makes me wonder, having seen another thread on this recently, how much of this is due to layer after layer of abstractions piled onto one another. Given the demand for backwards compatibility, & the never-ending efforts that show up to port everything old to any new platform (with all the support that has to be baked in to make that happen in many cases), how likely is it that this can be avoided, or prevented from getting worse in the future?

I checked all Eastern Europe retailers on their website and none of them seem to be having the board in stock.

All of them are either taking preorders or say they will start deliveries in late december or early january.

The only retailers that seem to have any stock at all are in the UK and buying from there is a nightmare due to brexit (assuming the boards ever arrive at all - they have a nasty habbit of taking people's money but never deliver).

Yep...the problem with humans has been pretty well understood for ages, hopefully we can get over this all science and only science phase and utilize some of this valuable knowledge before we kill ourselves.
>Any society that allows 1) ownership and 2) freedom

No, this is highly dependend on the definition of "freedom". A huge market freedom, and freedom for money? Yes. The freedom from shakles, from one being a billion times better than another, from people living lives somehow on the same plane? No. Billionares are not a direct result of whatever you define as "freedom" which is a very murky concept, there can be freedom in societies without billionaires.

And yes, the whole system of buying stock and then valuing something at 1 billion is broken, but does not change the fact, in fact enforces it because cleary the system is broken.

Well, there are some teachers who moved into the streaming side of the industry and started earning well over 10x their teacher salaries. And the streaming side is pretty tame compared to the "professional" production side of things.

At the end of the day, there's a lot of money in that profession, and I can certainly see how someone would cherish the money it produced for them. It's far from the only industry which participants will age out of quickly.

There's a potential future where these discussions (about whether to work with AI or work against it) will be happening across ALL industries, not just in the x-rated one.

We're seeing it here and in the graphic design industry right now because that's what the large majority of people are using AI for. But just like with photography, and just like with the internet, it's not going to stop there.

In my personal opinion, this wave is coming EVEN IF AI ends up not being as perfect as people are currently envisioning it as. Because even if it's not perfect, it's convenient and that's already been proven thanks to the likes of ChatGPT and Midjourney.

The AI Revolution is here, and, unfortunately, everyone will need to figure out their place in this new world.

> These car companies suck when it becomes to repairability.
> I will stick with main stream brands like Toyota.

Even if this is true (which is unlikely, the first reply says 8K - 12K, the truth is a lot more nuanced), the question we must ask is why do cars crash into each other? We must require all manufacturers to have Vehicle to Vehicle communication (beacons with chips and smarts are incredibly cheap) so they never crash into each other.

Car accidents are the biggest cause of death until late 50s (then cardio vascular, etc become the biggest cause). Modern emergency medicine is incredibly good, there are a huge number of people disabled and injured (but alive!) from car accidents. IN 2021, 42,939 deaths[1]. If we just add up this decade (2020 - 2030), we are looking at 400K preventable deaths.

Consider the injured and damaged vehicles. In 2019: 36,500 people, injured 4.5 million, and damaged 23 million vehicles[2]. In a decade (2020 - 2030), we are looking at 400K deaths, 45 million injuries and 230 million car repairs. And, this is just in US. Worldwide numbers are probably 10x! Body shop repairs are the costliest repairs even for minor scratches and dents.

A car is a machine, the safe operation and liability should be on the manufacturers. Legacy car manufacturers are criminally negligent, they don't know how to do software or electronics. New electric companies, they have a lot of young talent in software+electronics, can build the V2V capabilities to make a car safer.

Create Comprehensive Dashboards with Your Existing Data Using Index
In a time when computer programs habitually assume fast storage, running your operating system and primary runtime on a microSD card is weird. Even "fast" microSD storage usually isn't unless you buy cards that cost as much as the SBC in the first place. If you want some perf in the SD form factor you go to the full-size card--that's one reason cameras still use them--but even there you encounter pretty hard limits, which is why higher-end cameras have also gone to SSD-over-USB-C and CFExpress Type B.

eMMC does not have to be soldered-on, either; the Orange Pi 5+ has a swappable eMMC module.

I have the relatively typical male, minor colorblindness. Using color as an signal is fine, but just make sure there's something else that's independently conveying the info.

Also, another way to find out how common colorblindness is among your male friends: go rock climbing in a gym. Color is used on the holds to signify the route, and colorblind people who quickly start asking about color as they're climbing.

The fascinating thing here imho is that until recently it was pretty expensive to communicate with customers at that scale. You would have to staff some XXL call centers and find some way to process the communications in the context of the technologies used.

We've seen the many useless chat bots attempt to remedy the puzzle but the situation is rather different with LLM's

I for example reported on yt that the subtitle font-size is to small to read. I didn't bother to investigate what drives the inconsistency but the font is much smaller than everything else on the page.

If humans have to read this, write a report, put it in a bug tracker etc it will never be important enough to do something about it.

An LLM could figure out which line of code determines the font size. It could establish if it is indeed smaller than the other fonts and when. Then it could combine many similar reports into a simple easy to read list of tweaks with code examples.

I hardly ever use subs and normally I sit closer to the screen I didn't bother to search for the issue on google. Writing this I find an article on a 3rd party website that explains there are settings for the subtitles. There is a warning on this menu that says the settings are not persistent and will only work for this video but after changing the font size it works for all videos.

Should I report that as well? If nothing will be done with it why bother?
Agreed, but consider the source. Didn't they have some inane euphemism for layoffs just a few days ago as well?

https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/12/30/kalzumeus-software-year... says the same thing.

Did that ever happen?
This article doesn't even touch on the main pain point: bugs. Virtually all software is just as buggy as can be. I dread every time I need to take a piece of software down a non-happy/non-common path. It almost always fails. Working around and dealing with bugs is just a normal, every day part of modern society now.

Simple example, I sold my car to Carvana the other day and just baaaarely pulled it off using Chrome and Firefox. In Chrome the upload image wizard would get a JS exception. That part of the app miraculously worked in FF, but virtually the entire rest of the site was mired in issues as it's obvious Carvana devs don't test in FF. I pulled off the transaction by bouncing between the two.

Even worse, most non-technical people think they did something wrong when they encounter a bug.

Software that is bloated and slow but stable and rock solid? I'd gladly take it at this point.

> The old CEO with his irrational hate of all-electric cars

What? It seems to be there is a lot of irrational hate on Toyota for its pragmatic approach. There's going to be a need for ICE vehicles for decades to come. As far as I'm aware, the people most likely unable to switch to EVs are likely already Toyota customers. It's not like they've relying on gas guzzling monsters like Ford/GM/etc. They've had hybrids and plug-in hybrids for how long? And in case you did not know, they do have an EV which is available to purchase. I guess they snuck that under the old bat's nose.

> Toyota is now free to catch up with the rest of the industry.

Toyota has been out in front with their hybrids. It's the rest of the industry that's catching up with Toyota. Whom do you think is actually ahead of Toyota?

Examples: Electron, Kubernetes, Helm, expensive managed cloud, lots of domain specific languages and other high cognitive load systems demanding high staffing requirements, total abandonment of labor saving tech like WYSIWYG design, etc.
I have a Moto G...something, at least five years old, sitting on my desk. It normally acts as a teleprompter. I opened up Chrome, turned on desktop site mode, and started browsing, and gotta be honest: it was fine. If nothing else, if absolutely nothing else, it could scroll a web page without stuttering, and a Raspberry Pi 4 has never been able to do that in any configuration I ever tested.
