It's like this throughout the real estate and real estate development industries to be honest. Building my own house I expected plenty of savings over buying (and to be fair, I still did of course), but even beyond permitting (which is also more about who you know than what you know) I encountered things like this (roughly from most mind-boggling to least):

- You can't build a septic system, you have to use sewer because you're in city limits (later rescinded when they realized they would have to pump my sewage up to the city sewer.

- You need to hire an engineer to make sure your lumber is ok (we milled our own lumber)

- You need to hire an architect to make sure your plans are ok

- You didn't finish in 6 months? Buy a new permit please.

I know there were a million more things like this, but it's been over ten years and some things you don't want to remember... Contractors act like I'm taking food out of their kids' mouths by wanting to do the work myself, and the municipality is on their side.
In MouseGestures extension, you can bind right-click scroll-up & right-click scroll-down to whatever you want. I bound this to back & forward (within this tab), respectively. So you'd get a little context menu at your cursor to be able to navigate however many ticks you wanted. Insanely useful, especially when websites bullshit autoredirected you once, so navigating away from them requires either super quick reflexes to go back twice with hotkey or mouse gesture, or actually moving your cursor all the way to the back button @@

I still actively get mad that I can't use this shortcut every single time I have to go to the physical buttons.
RenderWare (2005)
It failed for me at a much more basic level.

I asked 5 different, and increasing explicit, variations of the following question: "Can you generate HTML and CSS for a JPG mockup I'm going to give you?"

Each time it answered along the following lines: "Sure, here is how you can create HTML and CSS from a JPG mockup. Follow this process..."

In my experience this never happens with GPT-4.
I would tend to agree, in part because of hedonic adaptation. I suspect the impact on happiness from more money is relatively less enduring.
Is this on very low brightness?

My 14" M1 Pro rarely got more than 7 hours and my former work 16" M1 Pro more than 9 on a React workflow. When introducing VM work or anything fairly heavy to the mix take 2 hours off each. Typically at 50-60% brightness, have iStat showing load so I can catch any errant processes.

My biggest issue with this release is no published improvements in battery life. 22 hrs is for movie watching. Wireless web - of course very low load - is still 15 for the 16" and 12 for the 14", same as M2 Pro which is each just 1 hour more than the M1 Pro.
> what education should be…with a scientific method

Does the scientific method tell you this? It couldn’t have, because this is a philosophical belief not a scientific one. Very likely, you were indoctrinated to believe this.

Not all “doctrine” (teaching) is wrong and not all indoctrination is wrong. But everyone undergoes some form of indoctrination.

> and a case which would bump the thickness of the phone back to non-ultra-super-thin

Well, duh.. I think that’s kind of the point. So many people use cases anyway to protect their phone, or embed it in a wallet style case. I want the phone to be thin so the phone with a case and a couple of cards is a reasonable thickness for my pocket.

Yeah, if you made it thicker maybe you wouldn’t need a case for protection. But cases also provide customisation, decoration, and protects against scratches.

> You can stick additional 500mAh there so that phone wouldn't die after a mere working day.

IMO cases should be the answer to this too. Although it’s not implemented well enough yet, even with Apples MagSafe. Adding battery for more than a day of active use is a waste of resources for most people when almost everyone will plug it in once a day anyway. If you do it every day it’s a habit and you won’t forget, so it’s the best way to do it.

If you could have a case with extra capacity without adding much thickness, with an efficient connection that doesn’t involve wires (so not sure USB-C or Qi/MagSafe is the right solution), it’d be ideal. The case battery could be discharged first so it’s the first to wear out (which is easy to replace) and the internal battery could last much longer.

Then you could have 2000mAh extra capacity if that suited your use case better and don’t mind a chunky phone.

Battery banks do serve this purpose to some degree of course, and has the benefit that you can continue to use them if you upgrade to a phone with a different form factor.
I think that the "color" aspect of ColorForth[2] could have wider use. I view it as a lightweight version of literate programming[1], in that you can intersperse code with the description of it. It makes it quite clear what is code, comment, constants, etc.

I think that the ideas that were brought forth in MetaMine[3] where quite interesting. The ability to mix declarative and imperative code in the same program, without melting your brain doing so, was a very powerful tool. I'm sad that it hasn't resurfaced. (I did find a fork of it on GitHub though[4])

Depends on how you spin it. I suspect it would be quite easy to spin the narrative on this one. "So you knowingly funded a terrorist group that's likely going to use the money to commit further crimes against US citizens?" or something of the sort. Have some experts testify on that too, preferably ones in officers uniform.

Where is there a cognitive dissonance?

I'm relatively affluent and I know that it's mostly the product of luck, I have no problem admitting that and that my salary is outrageous compared to the amount of work it requires (and required over my lifetime). I am also actively a militant in favor of an increase in taxes for the guys like me. I'd give away 80% of my capital instantly if it made all of my social class to the same because I know it would make life way better for most of us.

How am I suffering from cognitive dissonance?

I've also been using it for several years and almost completely agree with your sentiment. The only areas that have given me trouble are in the dev tools. On my machines the debugger is significantly slowed down when opening very large JS files, source maps compound the debugger slow down, and I can't always inspect variables' values when using source maps (possibly a build tool config problem).

My 2020 M1 Air generally requires a hard reboot if left closed and on a charger overnight, but that's been the worst of it until now (besides the rapidly degrading battery that seems calibrated to hit 79% a month after my AppleCare+ expires, while my 2015 Air's is still going strong).

h265 has about 20% lower bitrate than h264 at a very similar perceptible quality, but encoding several variants (adaptive streaming) quickly becomes more taxing on the hardware, and support for decoding h264 in hardware is both more ubiquitous and less expensive. As a concrete example, the 2018 generation of Amazon Fire TV sticks supports h265 but gets really hot, so when an adaptive stream offers both h264 and h265, the Fire TV picks the former. We were experimenting with detecting Fire TV serverside to give it a h265-only HLS manifest (the cost savings on the CDN would be sweet), but ultimately decided against it - the device manufacturer probably had a legitimate reason, be it stability or longevity.

I don't quite understand the industry push for AV1. I appreciate that it's patent-unencumbered, but it makes very little sense from business perspective, as you still need to support h264 and/or h265 for devices that can't decode av1 in hardware (and let's agree that forcing software decoding for video should be criminal). So you add a third codec variant (across several quality tiers) to your stack, cost per minute (encode, storage) goes up, engineering/QA effort goes up... Where's the value? Hence my original question, is AV1 really that much better to justify all that?
> It's apparently pretty good at annoying people on HN who like to downplay its every achievement

It's not really "its" achievement. There are many open source repositories of Flappy Bird that it was trained on and there are many brilliant engineers at Google and OpenAI who have worked on LLM technology. It is their achievement if anything. It is a product. A product of others' achievement. You don't say Excel had an achievement when it calculates a good formula for you? Do you say a neural network that produces great speech to text had an achievement? Or do say the people who developed it did.

Yes, I meant that an "open door policy" isn't sufficient. It also needs the framing to avoid the drama and focus on solutions. Relating back to my personal experience, an open door policy without those elements just wastes everyone's time. I didn't mean to imply that open door policy is bad per se, but just often badly implemented/understood. The title of the article is about "rethinking" open door policy, not getting rid of it. Adding nuance to a point shouldn't be conflated with being against it.

> I think having a central database that directly interfaces with multiple applications is an enormous source of technical debt and other risks, and unnecessary for most organizations.

I think that the operative word here is "over time". So what is meant is not necessarily supporting many applications at the same time, but rather serially.

So the message is supposed to be: Apps come and go as they can be rewritten for so many reasons, but there will be a lot less reasons to redesign / replace a "valuable" database.
It's a parlor trick, but I'm going to use it anyway: your own comment refutes your point.

You put work into posting this comment: thought about the situation and crafted sentences you wanted to publish. I've absorbed them, learned from them, they'll inform my own output in the future. And respectfully, I won't remember your name or give credit.

So why did you publish your comment? People can't avoid creating data. We do it passively. And you'll continue doing it, for your entire limited lifespan, even if you get neither laid nor paid for it.

So tell me, how do you react to people who tell you that seriously they don't want to spend even one day in the office that is so important to you. Do you accept it and continue working with them? Or do do you tell them to look for another employer? If the latter, then yes, it's about power.
That is not a state law thing. All that matters is the specific contracts you have with your agent and with the buyer. If you're working with an agent they'll nearly always require the standard 6% split between agents, but if you are not then the buyer's agent commission is something that can be negotiated just like any other clause of the contract.

It also just doesn't really matter. What you care about as a seller is that you get the most net money for your house. If one of the buyers wants to have 6% of the money they're paying you go to their agent, that just means their offer needs to be that much higher than a buyer who doesn't have you paying their agent as much.
> And where do you draw the line between merely an app or website and a digital "public square"? Certainly Facebook or Twitter seem like the latter by virtue of their size and reach, but what about Hacker News? Mastodon instances? The Something Awful forums?

I favor the framing "the internet as a whole is the public square" over framings such as "this social media company is or is not a public square". A particular social media company has no inherent social obligation to host a diverse range of opinions. Governments cannot tell social media companies to moderate in a certain way, but social media companies should be able to moderate however they want to based on just about any motivations.

I was ready to believe it, but this is a really poor argument for the thesis.

First problem, it's written by some pastiche of a blue-check obsessed journalist. The article goes on and on about how some accounts are posting misinformation despite having blue checks. Blue check was never a badge of accuracy, so why are Slate pretending it was? It was at best just a form of ID verification. Then they name one account that supposedly was blue check whilst claiming affiliation with Al Jazeera, but don't link directly to it (of course). Instead the link goes to Reuters which just repeats the claim and also doesn't link to it. Yet after digging and looking at screenshots of this account posted at the time Al Jazeera complained, no blue check is to be seen anywhere. Is Slate itself now spreading misinformation?

Second problem, no evidence is provided for the claim in the headline. After some undisguised Musk hatred that doesn't even pretend to be neutral journalism, Harrison spends numerous paragraphs explaining how Wikipedia works, presumably for people who spent the last 20 years in a coma. We are told that Wikipedia is clearly superior because anyone can edit it, except at the moment when they can't but only "the self-proclaimed free speech absolutists on X" care about that, and because you have to cite reliable sources like newspapers. That "age old rule" has protected Wikipedia from citing cell-phone sourced misinformation. But this makes no sense because it was only days ago that major newspapers were having to apologize for having blindly repeated misinformation about the Gaza conflict.

The rest of the article is about wiki-fights over choices of words: is it a war between Israel and Hamas or Israel and Gaza. Were the men who attacked the music festival terrorists or militants, and was that a massacre or something else? We are told "the impact of Wikipedia’s description ... cannot be overstated" because "journalists often turn to its pages for guidance".

This article offers no specific evidence that Wikipedia is doing a better job of covering the war. It's not even made clear what it means for such services to "cover" something. This is really just another complaint by a journalist that Twitter doesn't give them special blue check privileges anymore, whereas Wikipedia still does.

Where do you see anything about "twitter must promote my views"? Where do you see anything about NYT, or anyone, being prohibited from publishing its own reaction?

When I search for "Twitter" I find a reference to the Twitter files, which demonstrated that governmental units communicated directly with social networks to get them to censor certain viewpoints. Shortly SCOTUS will probably rule on that, which should settle the matter of whether that's even legal (prediction: it's not).

As for "a bunch of nonsense" -- that's what free speech is: the right to spew a bunch of nonsense. And as for socials being "forced" -- it's sufficient if they follow the same rules named for the licensing of standards-essential patents:

"Python script to extract a list of all Elastic IP's from all regions, from multiple AWS accounts."

ChatGPT4 gave me a solid answer hitting all the points I wanted. Phind din't get the account handling correct, didn't address regions, and didn't handle pagination.

"Write a python based script that uses boto3 to query AWS Route53. It should print a list of every record for a given hosted zone ID."

ChatGPT4 did exactly as requested with pagination, and even smartly decided to use "input" so I could give it a zone ID at run time. Phind didn't handle pagination, or do ANY error handling. It was also slower than ChatGPT4 to generate currently, and it wasn't in a single block of copy/pasteable code.

ChatGPT's solution worked without modification. Copy-Paste. Run.

And the problem with this critique of this scenario is the fact that while these points hold true within a certain range of intelligence proximity to humans, we have no idea if or when these assumptions will fail because a machine becomes just that much smarter than us, where manipulating humans and their systems is a trivial an intellectual task to them as manipulating ant farms is to us.

If we make something that will functionally become an intellectual god after 10 years of iteration on hardware/software self-improvements, how could we know that in advance?

We often see technology improvements move steadily along predictable curves until there are sudden spikes of improvement that shock the world and disrupt entire markets. How are we supposed to predict the self-improvement of something better at improving itself than we are at improving it when we can't reliably predict the performance of regular computers 10 years from now?
High end NICs like Mellanox ConnectX are probably more similar to the 82586 in terms of breadth of functionality.

Agreed. When a company outgrows its monolith this component you describe is normally the hardest part to figure out. All those sneaky little joins and stored procedures and undocumented use cases come pouring out. If your data layer has an API from the start it makes everyone act honestly about data access and provides more accountability. An API layer also allows for more options when dealing with caching, noisy neighbors, retention, consistency, and security.
The other point here is that "performance per watt" is how you get "performance" when single-thread performance is hard, because it lets you fit more cores into the same TDP. The top end EPYC 9754 that will stomp basically anything has a 360W TDP but that's for 128 cores, which is less than 3W/core.

The trouble for Apple is that although you can do this, they're paying the highest bid for first access to TSMC's new process, and doubling the core count would have used that much more die area. Which might have delayed the release as it takes more time to build up stock. So now we're into this weirdness where they give you a 22 hour battery life (how often are people awake for that many hours straight?) but they're getting outperformed by the Ryzen 7000 HX line on the older generation process node because it has more cores.
I wonder how the neglecters/abusers stay hidden. We are in a state that doesn’t even require notification. As far as the school district is concerned our kids don’t exist.
