The current generation mostly have shared whiteboards already I think (zoom, teams, etc).

Digital whiteboards aren't great, but they are useful. Interestingly though they dont' seem toe be used quite int he same way.

I still insist that for my teams all rooms that get used for meetings, formal or informal, have at least 1 big whiteboard. It's always paid off, and as you and GP note - nothing in WFH tooling quite works.

Hell, I've had team members WFH put a whiteboard in their house and an extra camera to show it; with mixed success. It's not collaborative, which reduces value. Tablets too. The workflows are all so-so.
It's of course fine to ask chatgpt. I also appreciate that you wrote that it was from chatgpt.

However, I wouldn't recommend posting the result here if you don't know if it's correct. Moreover, anyone can ask chatgpt themselves. It's better to wait for someone here to post an answer.

Yes, there's nothing in the guidelines, but they're (deliberately) not all-encompassing. Besides, I would hope it's part of basic Internet etiquette; just because we now have access to tools that generate plausible-sounding but not necessarily correct answers to questions doesn't mean we need to post what they create in the place of genuine answers.

I suppose it just gets across the message that many products aren't compliant at an assumed one serving per day. But yeah, for seeing which levels are meaningfully different thus which products I should really be avoiding, it's not as useful as it could be.

> It also means that for some of these products, eating half as much dark chocolate would give the same dose as someone eating twice as much milk chocolate.

Looks like they used the chocolatiers' serving sizes, which might differ between dark and milk chocolate products already.
It's not just academia. A friend of mine was involved in the development of a ground breaking medicine for a pretty common incurable disease. The results of the first and second round trials were fantastic, giving a significant number of patients a normal quality of life that they hadn't experienced in years.

The formula was sold to a big pharma company that completely botched the third round trial. It's not that harmful side effects were discovered, but due to a bad testing methodology, the results were not nearly as good as they were. The big pharma company recognized the issue, but a revised third round trial would delay the introduction by years, at which time the amount of profits to make from the medicine were considered too low due to patent expiration. So they just dropped it altogether.

It would be too uneconomical for a new company to kickstart the whole approval process again: as soon as the patents expire, other companies would immediately release their generic variant.

End result: millions of potential carriers of the disease won't see the benefit of a medicine that has been shown to work.
The Undead Content Apocalypse
The fastest certified off-the-shelf e-bike goes to 28 mph and usually max out at 20mph, which is far below the usual speed of motorcycles. Of those 25,000 ER visits, very few are fatal, and of 1,260 bicyclist deaths in 2020, 806 were from collisions with vehicles. It seems cars are the problem, and this can easily be addressed by adding protected bike lanes and dedicated bike paths. By providing safe cycling routes, other countries such as the Netherlands have been able to see a large-scale transition from auto transportation to cycling with very few accidents, ebike or not.

Compare these numbers with motor vehicles (especially how pedestrian deaths by motor vehicle are skyrocketing), and it's clear that our priorities should be placed on safe pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, not by regulating ebike usage.

> Do we even see authenticity in public?

If you have the ability to sense another human's emotions you can often tell when someone is being authentic or not. Set and setting are also important. Authenticity is closer to honesty about yourself rather than some kind of self-expression. I am still authentic if I don't mention my hobby of collecting records while I am at the gym. I am not authentic if I start making up whatever will impress you.

> But we dislike influencers and the like because while they are (often obviously) inauthentic, they try to hide that fact under a facade trying to make it seem like it's their "real expression".

IMO, most people dislike influencers because they fall into the category of people who are outwardly pathetic. In any sort of human interaction desperation is seen as unattractive and wrong. Influencers are desperation boiled down into the highest concentration. They are fake, inauthentic, not because they aren't who they are but they try so hard to dial up everything about them to it's maximum.

> Doing a paid sponsor bit is ipso facto inauthentic

If I am doing a paid sponsorship for beard care equipment I am authentic. This generalization doesn't fit.

> I'm sure the Ryan in front of the camera is different than the Ryan I'd meet at the bar: more polished, calculated in choice of words, presenting self in the best light, because that's what we all do in the limelight.

Someone who takes the time to create an entire blog dedicated to a topic will likely be 90% similar to what you're reading. Of course there is nuance in human interaction but someone that dedicated to a particular craft will most likely obsess over it even in person.

I understand your post is some sort of philosophical discussion on authenticity. Maybe in some textbook sense you are right. However, I have had more authentic interactions with people than inauthentic interactions. If you're close with anyone at all in your life you have also experienced that. The systemization of everything (through what you call "radical self-expression") is creating a bunch of pseudo-intellectual naval gazing on what is fundamentally a simple topic. Authentic people are honest people. You can often tell right away who is lying and who is not. The computer in your head has hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to help you with that.
If you're building a business, the Free tier should be a starting point, not a forever solution. Either the business dies, or it grows and you'll graduate to a paid option very quickly.

Not a big mystery there. Food used to be expensive and cakes only available in special occasions. Now I can get a cake delivered to my home within half an hour without getting up from my chair and it costs me about 15 minutes worth of paid work.

Couldn't you just sign up on an instancewho's sole purpose is to remain federated with every other (major) instance and then "add" that account which the client app maintains along with one or all of your other accounts and wouldn't that super easily fix this issue even though it would be better for rhe app to handle all that without having an additional account to maintain?

I prefer the blue pill, but know I "should" be taking the red pill for my career.

Regarding authenticity: it has been a social media goal and so on display everywhere for so much time now, that even if there is true authenticity, it has started to feel like marketing which is really sad.
Current OLED desk monitors are terrible in the eye strain department. I got one thinking it would help and it is now relegated to YouTube detail.

Nice image but it self dims after a few minutes when the image is static. Usually, I don't notice it is dimming and only when I am straining my eyes to see I remember why, shake a window and boom sudenly it is very bright (relatively). Very annoying and the only way to fix it kills the warranty.

DC v Heller makes clear the present day interpretation of the people conveys individual right. People is also said in the fourth amendment, surely you're not arguing individuals have no fourth amendment rights.

In the first I'm specifically referring that it says the right is to the people to petition grievances. The wording pretty clearly doesn't prohibit congress from stopping non-people from assembling/petitioning.

If you can't have a gun you are necessarily not a person based on the present day interpretation of the courts. Therefore most aliens are not people and law can prohibit their grievances (derogatory posts perhaps) and assembly and abridge their protection from search and seizure.

Note:

>> "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech"

Lol you purposefully chopped off the part where some of that was explicitly qualified to 'people' rather than to anyone!
I’m not familiar with science, but I don’t believe things are terribly bad for engineers. Brilliant innovative engineers have a degree of control over their lives.

If a person is unhappy about the bureaucracy of the large org they can find another job in a startup. Or they can find a better job in a smaller, better managed organization. Or if they’re feeling lucky, they can even start their own business.

If they currently hold a senior position in FAANG working on innovative ways to sell more ads, that step will likely involve a substantial pay cut. Still, IMO brilliant engineers are relatively well-compensated across the whole industry. The work they do normally generates a lot of value for the employer.

They should be generally fine financially even without these millions of stock options. And they will be probably happier working on the innovations which do something good, as opposed to inventing models, methods, and apparatuses to advance the ongoing enshittification of the internet.
Sorry but please read up on how much lead is dumped over neighborhoods near airports. Children have lead levels near reported Flint levels.
Probably an accurate stat of today, but misses the point and context. I said "I think" that education helped people from Quebec to negotiate a better situation, rather than doing so by arms (up to the 1970s with the FLQ). I do think that squashing rebellions is a counter-productive way of solving conflicts, as Yugoslavia did (I also lived a few years in the Balkans, in a neighbouring country, and had a few good friends from ex-Yu with identity issues in the early 2000s).

I also think education can help people understand topics such as majority/minority rights, rights/history of first nations, systemic racism, etc. many of which the current provincial government still denies (not immune to populist). Despite all that, and despite this province's completely train-wreck succession of governments since the 80s, what is taught now in schools is still better than in the 80s. That might be of an empirical feeling. My high school still had priests raping kids until the mid-90s and racism was rampant. I have a teen in a public high school, what they learn now is pretty neat. All thanks to teachers, of course, and not to governments.

Texas and other states are now burning books (and I hope we don't get to that point). One could have a PhD in CS, but be a tech-bro ignorantly erring towards fascism. I don't call that education. I think how a society treats its minorities (whether cultural or things like accessibility) is the best measure of advancement. Quebec is no model on that either, but it's probably better than Texas. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/14/texas-most-b...

This is what I've always imagined.

Self-driving vans, with all the fancy LIDAR, where people hop on and hop off, that only drives on specific paths that have been excruciatingly mapped and well-worn.

Basically a little bus without a driver that can adjust its route on the fly.

As a user, you'd be able to get picked up a little closer to your location rather than having to walk to "The Bus Stop", you wouldn't be at the mercy of a set schedule, and it would be much cheaper than a taxi/rideshare because IIRC 70% of their cost is the human labor, and the cost is not split among multiple individuals.

Crucially, they would also use our existing road infrastructure, so you don't have to lay down train tracks, streetcar lines, build dedicated bus lanes, etc.
This tells us that too many people chase these jobs. Maybe, time to hire as many as possible using basic income scheme.
That's great, but I prefer a darker room, personally.
I don't fault you if you explicitly emphasize speed rather than accuracy. Just don't post these on HN.
Most modern displays support DDC/CI or whatever it is that lets your PC talk to the monitor and adjust brightness (and other settings).

I think this is Jeff Atwood's 2012 blog post: https://blog.codinghorror.com/please-dont-learn-to-code/

I think Jeff's position is better argued and more correct. I have seen all too well what a mess people make when they get into software and computer careers because they see dollar signs, not because they like it or have aptitude.
It's OK how other people spend their time
That sounds incredibly dystopian.
Is this the 1% trying to make a new enemy for the poor and redirect the hate they get? I can't read the article, but the headlines certainly gives that feeling.
This is true but mostly meaningless in practice. I have never found the people who say this every time formal verification comes up to be the same people who actually work in formal verification. The reality is that it's far far harder to mess up a formal spec that you actually have to prove a concrete instance of, than it is to mess up the code. With a buggy spec, in the course of trying to prove it you'll arrive at cases that seem nonsensical, or be unable to prove basic lemmas you'd expect to hold true. Formal spec bugs happen, but they're quite rare. Usually even when there are edge cases that aren't covered, they will be known by the authors of the spec due to the dynamics I mentioned earlier (cases encountered during the proof that are clearly being solved in ways that don't follow the "spirit" of the spec, only the letter). Of course, "informal" specs, or paper proofs, will have subtle bugs all the time, but that's not what we're talking about here.
Ah yeah, the allowed kind of racism. My favourite.
To you and I, The Internet, Chrome, Google, The World Wide Web and Broadband are all different words with different meanings.

But to most of the rest of the population, they think "I got out my phone, I typed 'best headphones 2023' and bought the best one I could afford".

Notice how they neither know nor care which browser they used, which search engine, which protocol, which website, etc. Those things are all irrelevant to what they were trying to do.

It's our job as engineers to make sure everything just works and those people don't need to know or care.
definitely impacted by this. CI is failing bigly! :(
My experience in university convinced me that: modern universities are not institutions of learning or discovery, they are businesses and are only concerned about the bottom line. As always, enshittification follows (and arguably happened a long time ago already). That includes amazing short-term decision making at the cost of long-term sustainability.
It doesn't sound like a scam.

Paying by credit card usually requires an address. A billing address. If they asked for a second shipping address and gave you a tracking number perhaps.

Also they returned the item even though you could have scammed them by downloading the album.
Not just phones, I recently set up waydroid on an old netbook so my son could play the Khan Academy Kids app. Since the Android container is x86-64 and KAK is ARM-only the libhoudini translation layer was required and worked perfectly.
An extremely un-generous interpretation.

I would more compare it to "The air conditioner is broken, and the radio crashes. But it still gets me from home to work."

The stuff needs to be fixed, but the core purpose is absolutely met.

The core purpose of a city builder/simulator is to let you creatively build well-simulated non-buggy beautiful cities. You can absolutely do that. The fact that some volumetric effects are missing, or that you can't do it in 4K is absolutely a problem, and the devs should fix it.

But let's not pretend like this is the equivalent of going 10mph on the road without being able to shift gears, come on.
Shorter EPA: "Look, here's one more way we can cripple our economy! Yea!"
> the university since they take a very hefty cut (50-100%! btw this doubles the "cost" of the grant, it doesn't lessen the amount the professor gets)

Don't forget that this is actually money laundering. Our NIH grants had major strings attached, like "you may not buy non-instrumentation computers" (at least, that's what I was told, I did not actually get to read the grants). So the University helpfully launders the money for you through a kickback from its overhead cut, at the tiny tiny price of keeping most of it. You may then spend the kickbacks without restriction.

The whole system is insane. Even having lived it for years I barely believe some of my own stories.
Cacao can be part of the diet, it's healthy, like Carob (a good substitute)

Chocolate is a processed product, enriched in sugar, not beneficial in the long term
You are confusing good and readable with beautiful. A pencil sketch can be readable and good, yet still look like it can be changed. By contrast if you make it look like perfect it will look like it cannot be changed.
I have to ask again: what specific number would you like to see for real wage growth in the UK to concede that the economy is "good"? If it's not "best in two decades", how much higher must it be? What fraction of historical workers have lived under those conditions?
Oh! Overlooked it
Unpopular opinion, but this was a reasonable outcome from the university.

If a researcher makes a great discovery, but can’t get funding to do anything with it, You don’t keep them around not making progress.

They got pushed out, found funding, and finally furthered the technology.

It is unclear if more scientific progress would have been made if they were kept at penn without funding.
> How do you train an AI on taste?

You keep shoveling piles of recipes at it, and as long as most of the recipes are positively tasteful (as opposed to just randomly generated, or worse, engineered to suck out of spite), the AI should eventually pick up on taste in general.
I don't know if the situation is identical, but on Youtube, creators can see the analytics of their videos and adjust their titles and thumbnails based on what performs best each time they adjust it.

I wouldn't be surprised if other online creators do the same.
OpenBSD has been putting in a lot of work lately to harden the syscall ABI; a large component of that work has been constricting how a syscall is invoked from user space as a defense in depth technique to make shell code style exploits more difficult. That's previously taken the form of techniques like only allowing syscalls to be invoked from the libc .text section.

This work is removing a very indirect morph of syscall where the arguments/sysnum are in a struct in memory, making it harder for exploits to invoke weird versions of syscalls on their own terms.
Only half-joking. I can eat two handed e.g. a sandwich or something similar while briefly holding the wheel with my knees. It's not a huge hardship especially in slow and predictable rush hour traffic.
