A closer analogy is when cigarette companies advertised to kids, covertly or even overtly.

Parents shouldn't let their kids smoke, sure. But that's not the end of the public conversation.

Artists are still able to produce art with or without photoshop. Without their LLMs and the stolen art within, the best an AI "artist" can do is to scrawl "Tracer Overwatch big boobs not ugly trending on artstation" into a page.
Maybe someone can offer a richer history but to my knowledge the first suggestion of word vectors was lsa which originated the idea of dimensionality reduction on a term/doc matrix. They just used svd but the more modern methods are all doing essentially the same thing. To my recollection they were and HCI lab and their goal was not to make a language model as much as to make a search function for files.

Fossil has the ability to sync it's changes automagically to a git repo, so if you have tooling that only has git integration, you can use that.

This website does things a poor justice and doesn't seem very accurate. For example, I tried this on my linux work computer (which doesn't offer vsync, or a graphics card) and compared it to my gaming pc. The non-vsync version looked much better than the vsynced version.

I went outside and took a 4k video at 24fps and played it back. It looks smooth as butter, just like a movie. Then I took the same video, but recorded at 60fps and re-encoded it in 24fps. It looks like the example on this website, where it looks jumpy.

I assume this is because of motion blur.

An example I have from work is: We all have the idea that we're working 40 hours a week, on Monday to Friday, averaged across two weeks. This sets the normal pace, but I have no problem pulling one or two 12 hours days to put out some massive production fires. It just has to be clear: This means at least 1 day of me not working, usually - if you add in overtime rates - much rather 2. Weekend work is handled in a similar way. 3-4 hours on a weekend are 1 weekday off.

If a company respects this and cooperates this way, I'm perfectly fine pulling long hours if necessary, or weekend work if the criticality explains it.

But at the same time, if you start micro-managing my hours and start being picky if I organize my hours on a day around some long-running tasks I just need to wait for... I mean be happy I'm doing laundry off the clock or counting reduced time while the archive system is shoveling data towards servers, which requires minimal monitoring. And I have a phone notification setup if it does something weird.

Outside of a few specific games that went all-in, I remember the Wii & Wii U game ecosystem as largely ignoring the wiimote and the gamepad in favor of standard controls.

Going further back in time, I remember the GameCube/n64 and gameboy game-relevant accessories as largely being limited to a few games each, and always as an optional bonus feature that never really mattered that much

(Not being glib here. I really think that's the recognized norm, not a big secret.)
> Rust isn't exactly the normal style either unless you were used to some subset of modern c++ that probably only gets used in gaming or embedded.

But, as I understand it, it works with 'normal Rust', which, if you enjoy Rust, would be normal right? It seems to compile the rust to wasm, run it in wasm, log the results while keeping pace of how far it came, and then rerun it with previous results. That's not quite nice to have, but, like you say I think, it has foot guns, and, one of the worst, is getting too comfortable thinking it has your back while this is not enough; side effects behind immutable variables are there and while this helps you a bit, it doesn't fix any of that and maybe makes it worse.

I am just a little annoyed this is not the norm but rather something special (and closed source?), why is it not everywhere? Probably because high amounts of magic?

We're replacing React with Htmx at work (about a year into it) and have found WebComponents to be very useful to re-use some of the React components that we want to preserve and treat a bit like using native browser widgets (input, select, textarea). Specifically, a WebComponent lets you hook into the lifecycle of a DOM element that is being modified by the outside world (morphdom via Htmx). In the event of attributes changing, you want to tell the React component about that. And in the event of the node being removed from the DOM, you want to tell React to run its cleanup procedures. I think that we weren't able to do this in a clean, efficient way without WebComponents.

The end result is that we can stick to Htmx's way of doing things, i.e. keeping all business logic state on the server, and only a few conservative things are client-side (such as currently focused element, text being typed in an input, things like that). Every step we take towards this, it offers a much better user experience with fewer bugs and race conditions, so it's worth the effort.

I would not claim to be a oauth2 expert, but to the best of my knowledge the scopes that one declares during the app registration on the reddit side are the upper bound of what said app is allowed to request, and thus if there was a checkbox on alien.top's side asking whether the user wanted bidirectional behavior, if unchecked the oauth2 handshake would omit the write scopes from the handshake and the token that comes back would be read only. I have mixed feelings about the "offline" part but if it was read only, I would be perfectly fine with alien.top using my access token to help spread the rate limiting load during any sync activities for the subreddits I was in

Furthermore, again, to the best of my knowledge, if an alien.top user changed their mind and wanted to opt-in to the bidirectional behavior later, you could have that user just re authorize with the same client-id and this time ask for all the scopes. Much less complexity than managing two separate app registrations
One of the most depressing, nihilistic realizations I have had in my 30s is:

* People don't care about the work you do, they care about how you make them feel.

* People will steal the work that you do, or imply that they were a part of it, when they weren't.

* Those people will employ what I had though were high school tier manipulative tactics by sidechanneling communications, or in the way they talk in meetings to imply that they are more useful they than actually or, or to imply they had a involvement in things they didn't.

* "Middle managers" love this stuff, and will promote and hire people who also play this stupid game.

I have seen people share into our slack channels, or start meetings out by playing the most absolutely useless, tik-tok-level, linkedn-level garbage fake bizbro videos as if they are important useful business information that we need to incorporate into our philosophy.

I've seen companies then go to hire these absolutely useless borderline pyramid-scheme bizbros, incorporate their useless vocabulary cancer, and bring them into our meetings and make us defer to them on things.

This stuff is incredibly demoralizing.

Loyal, good workers get exploited by these parasitic people because they care about the company, they care about their good coworkers, and they take pride in making good products. Obviously this stuff is all easily exploitable by the people I'm describing.

There are various TV programs that did this. Expedition Robinson, originated in Sweden and licensed in the US as a show named Survivor (among 39 other licensees, according to Wikipedia). My parents used to watch a variant produced for Dutch television. From what I could pick up, the crew provided varying degrees of resouces and support. There was a "punishment" were one would be sent into isolation for a certain period. I suppose contestants were at least monitored for safety to some degree.

> In contrast, working hard in a place that doesn't reward you is sad. Slacking in a place where you can succeed more if you try harder is also sad.

I understand the place where this comes from, but I don't agree. I think this is a very personal thing and there cannot be a single approach that works for everyone.

But for me, if I'm not trying my very best I can't continue doing the job. I'm internally motivated, I know that I'm doing a great job and can be proud of the work, I don't need others to tell me.

I can think of two jobs I left over these sorts of issues.

One was abusive -- VP told my manager to write me up over an email I sent out asking a question about software they were using. That was on a Thursday, I was gone the following Monday. I was later told that VP was removed because she regularly made people cry (she was just mean).

One because I realized the politics meant I couldn't do a good job. I had stepped into a fight between a manager and a CISO and the CISO made sure we were setup for failure. 2-3 months after I left they moved the manager directly under the CISO and he quit.

but in general I've not found myself getting exploited. That doesn't mean I always agree with what management is doing but it's generally been well-meaning by earnest people and I sometimes think if people feel they're constantly running into management like this they might be mis-interpreting. Oddly enough, I've found the larger companies (multi-billion dollar companies) to be more pleasant than smaller companies where it seems tribalism is much more rampant.

This. I once had a code review with a new hire who couldn't understand a for loop in C#. Something almost as simple as the snippet below. Their resume showed a B.S. in CompSci from a CalState school. But they professed "I never understood loops".

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
newList[i] = sourceArray[i];
}

I've also been in working environments where management has insisted that the code reviews be moderated by someone who was a mechanical engineer with no code/software training, background, or experience. I didn't particularly enjoy those....

While it does sound this particular author was just interested in a cash grab, the author and you are both recognizing the stark reality facing many aspiring founders: the choice often boils down to taking a high-stakes gamble with venture capital or settling for the security of a 9-5 job.

The current financing landscape offers limited options for those aiming to establish lifestyle businesses in unpredictable markets. One can either secure a small business loan for a conventional business model or take a leap of faith with venture capital—unless, of course, they have the personal wealth to shoulder the financial risk.

Edit: While the reasons behind the absence of such financing are clear, it is perfectly valid to feel disheartened by the situation.
I guess I didn't get my meaning across very well.

I am not saying anything about the relative safety of driving in cherry-picked environments like SF. The data can talk about that and in this case is supports autonomous cars as being safer in SF.

I am saying that you can't extrapolate that data and say that autonomous vehicles will be safer than human drivers in, say, NYC or Minneapolis. They won't be. The environmental challenges that exist in most roads in the USA do not exist in the SF test environment. That's part of the reason why tests are always done in SF or Arizona, etc. They have much easier and unchanging road conditions and visibility.

So the takeaways from this article only really apply and make sense as responses to the current local SF politics. They do not show autonomous cars are better drivers in general.

I think there are too many extreme exceptions to this correlation for it to be anything but a correlation. For just one among many, look to any of the countless religious groups within developed countries. These range from Muslims who continue have children at a healthy rate, to the Haredi in Israel who are popping out 6 kids per woman on average. Even Africa's blushing there.

The obvious and logical explanation, which fits seemingly all data, is simply culture. An obvious one is extreme consumerism. Extreme consumerism is going to drive big economies which makes healthcare widely available, driving down infant mortality. At the same time it's also going to drive people to spend their lives trying to earn money instead of raising families, driving down fertility.

Without culture playing a largely dominant role it would also have been much harder for countries to artificially manipulate their fertility rates, as Iran and South Korea both did - and later came to severely regret. I'm leaving China out of the examples as they took more of a legal than cultural approach to try to change their fertility rates.

I think this ignores the way society is governed. It's easy for an engineer-mindset to think the bar to be cleared is "better than the average driver". But these systems must operate in a society that is often employing something other than an engineering mindset.

I doubt the public and their political representatives (absent regulatory capture) would turn over control to a mere average robot. Do you think, for example, most people would be okay in a drone airliner that is equivalent to the average pilot? I suspect most people would balk at the idea. A large part of the public policy piece is about trust; humans have evolved to understand and predict the behavior of other humans which leads to mental models about who can be trusted and who can't. We don't have those same evolved intuitions about robuts and, when combined, with our natural risk aversion biases, it's going to take a lot more than "average performance" to get society as a whole to fully trust robotic safety critical operations.

This appears to be a novel way to represent how the application interacts with state though, an API plus runtime.

I've used workflow engines before, which provide similar capabilities: execute a distributed process to completion in the presence of failures. However, you have to be really careful when building workflow applications not to introduce accidental side-effects (that are not modeled in the workflow directly), or else the result will be nondeterministic (unspecified at best).

I haven't used Dagster or Prefect but it looks like this tool uses a different approach. An application developer doesn't need to "model" their workflow using this tool - just implement it on top of the API that Flawless provides. It reminds me a bit of the AWS Flow framework [1] for AWS SimpleWorkflow, but when developing Flow applications (which are Java apps) you still have to be extremely careful not to accidentally introduce local side effects or nondeterminism.

Because this approach provides a deterministic runtime, I see it being plausible that developers could be significantly more confident that their code is, in fact, deterministic.

I discovered this independently. After years of trying and failing to organize my notes by project/folder I finally was inspired by my scientist wife's labbook entries and decided that to try an append only log (which happens to be an org file).

My current main labbook.org file has 20k lines and a header for each day. Super easy to just search for any content/tags. I use org todo tracking (which mostly just automates toggling between [TODO][DONE]) and the org babel features mean that I can also use it like a python/jupyter notebook with little code snippets and visual graphs. I use snippets of python, graphviz, shell most often but occasionally sqlite/duckdb/too.

It's really the only system that's worked for me.
I look at it as signal to noise ratio. If someone communicates a lot but has a very low signal to noise ratio, parsing what might be valid from everything else, becomes a chore and adds cognitive overhead.
