I have serious concerns about anything from X at this point.

At the risk of going into some amateur psychological analysis of Elon Musk I think he's pretty well past the point of what happens to so many people insulated by wealth, power, influence, their carefully crafted bubbles/echo chambers, etc.

For example, for all of his talk of bias I am completely unable to get positive and glowing reviews of Tesla stuff out of my X feed. Every single day I label the non-stop Tesla, Cybertruck, posts from Elon himself, etc as "Not interesting to me". I've never given the algorithm any reason to think I want this stuff repeatedly shoved in my face and actually quite the contrary as I've said.

I've been doing this for at least a month and yet they persist. It's pretty clear he has his "thumb on the scale" (to put it mildly) for his own ample self-interests, ego, politics, etc.

Plenty of people and platforms are of course prone to the same issues but from what I've seen this is so gallingly obvious with him and X it's borderline insulting to those of us that have a modicum of understanding of what's going on here.

I think it's very highly likely this will be reflected in anything he or X produces.
The thing you linked says "default y" to "Allow legacy TIOCSTI usage". So yeah, you can disable it, no, it's not the default.

There's also a related issue with TIOCLINUX and the paste functionality. (That will however be solved in an upcoming kernel version. I wrote the patch for it :-)
For me, I would just like a simple way (no technical knowledge) to invoke LLM sub-steps. Exemple "Find the 4 articles of laws most relevant to this case, then anaylse each of those articles separatly". So, a simple non-technical way of doing auto-gpt style substeps. This would greatly increate ChatGPT precision.
Someone please set up a website that can compose an email to Craig Federighi with these issues and let developers email him directly. Apple may not act on or respond to this collective Feedback Assistant feedbacks, since the system may probably be broken to the extent that Apple’s teams don’t even see or get these feedback reports.
Indeed. You can build a system to mitigate most other things, but infinite procastination and the associated guilt is awful.

I live by my calendar. I try to write everything I have to do down. I put my things always in the same place. But procastination...

Meds do help a bit.

Pumping the brakes is what you do if you cannot threshold brake. You lose traction, so let off the brakes to regain grip, then apply again and repeat, hence pumping.
If the useful commits are the "baby" in your bathwater analogy, all the useful information in those commits is in the squashed commit.

This assumes a branch being merged in represents one logical change (a feature/bugfix/etc) that is "right sized" to be represented by one commit.
Static linking means combining compiled object files (e.g. your program and ffmpeg) into a single executable. Loading a .so or .dll file at runtime would be dynamic linking. Invoking through a child process is not linking at all.

Basically you must allow the user to swap out the ffmpeg portion with their own version. So you can dynamically link with a .dll/.so, which the user can replace, and you can invoke a CLI command, which the user can replace. Any modifications you make to the ffmpeg code itself must be provided.
Not a fan of elon, but it was the bad old Micro$oft that turned OpenAI for-profit.
I've accepted this a decade ago.
I put my ego on the side, and now I don't care if my git history doesn't look like "beautiful" when looking at the commit graph.

I've been working on dozens of projects since, and probably did thousands of commits. Some of the teams of those projects included dozens of developers working concurrently on the same codebases. We always merged the upstream branches into our development branches and never did any rebases.

I have NEVER ended up in a situation where I thought rebases would have been better.
The git tools and IDE integrations of our current age allow me to find any information I need from the history without pain.
See comment above for how you can do that.
Most places I've worked, there has been a written or unwritten (and, depending on jurisdiction, maybe statutory) assumption that you can take a week or two off without discussion (other than which weeks, naturally) but anything above that may need some discussion about project impact and timing.

It typically hasn't been a problem if there is lots of notice, but "I'd like to take 3 weeks off next month" is likely to end up with a bunch of back and forth at best.

My current place has a number of international hires, and has been pretty flexible about allowing large blocks of time to go "home" and visit, some mix of vacation time, unpaid leave, and remote work for 4+ weeks. But these have typically been planned many months in advance.

I get this view. But as my post explains, I'd quit writing about search. I was done. There wasn't going to be more criticism (or praise or whatever) from me because I'd retired from writing about search. I didn't have plans to go to Google when I retired. No one there even knew I was leaving. Which ... you or anyone can choose to believe or not, but that's how it is.

I was far from the only critic (or advocate) for Google or other search engines. There are plenty of others. New people, and with good views, continue to come into the space. The idea of "Google hired me to quiet me," again, while I get it, just wouldn't resolve that.

By the way, nor would some alternative idea that I somehow had secret details of spamming techniques make sense, either. Google had and still has an excellent spam team. They didn't need me to come in and somehow fill gaps.

What Google gained by me coming in, I hope, is someone that both tries to help people better understand how the search engine works from within the search quality team (that's where I work, in that team) and also bring back into that team advocacy and feedback from the outside world (which typically, I realize, isn't that clear to those people outside Google -- here's an example I shared of this last week when asked: https://twitter.com/searchliaison/status/1720491595420856329 )
The problem is that you can flood the market with 2 categories of product:

1. A cheap version that didn't bother to get certified (to save cost).

2. A fraudulent version that relies on the existence of a poorly regulated market (like Amazon) that allows "mistakes" in advertising details. That market is already flooded with cheap uncertified cables that do work, making it trivially easy to falsely advertise cables that don't work.

What needs to happen is for USB-IF to minimize #1 by making their standardization process as accessible (and affordable) as possible. Otherwise, the bulk of cables that customers are willing to buy will be uncertified.

I see that we actually agree with each other here.
For the same reason I get frustrated when I go to solve problem A, run into problem B then while trying to solve problem B I run into problem C. Soon enough you have 15 problems you want solved but you find yourself having to unwind a stack 1 by 1 until you _finally_ get to a point where you can actually solve the original problem.

People probably view dealing with the FF codebase as part of Problem A, dealing with mercurial is Problem B, which is must less appreciated.
Have they done a side-by-side test? Or was that based on some information from years ago? If they don't break traction, how do they know they're braking enough?

If this is a modern ABS system I'd be shocked if they could beat it. See this short video comparing a 20 year old (at the time) vs modern semi-trailer weighing 38.5 metric tons (84,000 lbs). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo6C3HEpfsQ

Yes, I can but I'm supposed to give two weeks notice if I'm doing so. (And no, I don't mean I'd need to quit).

"just as a marketing tactic"

The article I linked claimed, that indeed quite a few persons in rural india believed wikipedia. Also labour in india is cheap, I doubt he did it himself, but payed someone to do it.

In general, many people do trust wikipedia. And PR companies get payed much more, to get some information inside.
I've often thought how frustrating it would be to go back to my first job as a product manager for large computer systems. I would find the inability to get anything approaching current information really annoying. Of course, everyone else would be in the same boat.

I'm sure some coursework and jobs would look a lot more similar than others. But we also take a lot for granted.
Any way to do similar for DP/HDMI? I've thrown away multiple cables cause I couldn't tell if the cable was just old and didn't support what I needed vs somehow broken. Looking at system report I only see `Graphics/Displays` which show's monitor capabilities but not cable. (I'm not actually sure if DP/HDMI advertise their capabilities in the same manner as USB 3).

Much like GP I've taken to labeling newly bought cables with a label maker to avoid wasting them in the future due to being unknown.
I can, but I don't abuse it. I only took it once as I was truly exhausted and really needed to decompress. My advice is make sure your performance is stellar and also make sure to leave your team in a good position to perform without you. Having a good manager to run interference for you while away is also important. Gladly I checked all those boxes. YMMV.

You can usually see that in whatever tool youre using anyway. Blame -> find the PR -> see commit history.
Run the numbers as to whether a move to the cloud or hybrid would make sense.

The problem is that the marginal price of compute is minimal and the overheads of distributing work across various untrusted machines (plus moving any data to them) outweigh the potential savings, so that's why there's no standardized market for this. If you had enough servers and development capacity in your business I guess you could start a hosting/cloud provider side business to sell that extra capacity?

There might be a market if those servers have GPUs, but even then I'm not sure if the earnings would be worth it and would trump what you could earn yourself by just mining crypto on them.

Short of those options, just power them off on a schedule and use IPMI/etc to start them back up when needed.

This is known as the curb cut effect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_cut_effect#:~:text=The%....

While sloped, level curb cuts at intersections have been implemented primarily for accessibility legislation compliance, it turns out they are useful not only for the disabled but for people with strollers, heavy bags, etc. A similar effect can also be seen with the modern ubiquity of closed captioning.
So even if he loses 20 billion a year, even if Elon Musk loses 40 billions of dollars in a short time, nothing changes for them. They still have tens of thousands of times more money than a normal human can make.
Every time he turns away from the mic and continues talking while looking at the projection his volume goes way down and at best sounds like a mumble. It is very taxing to keep up with him when he's turned away. It's the wrong mic for the task.
Of course Kagi is a real alternative. It's not Google search and you can verify that by trying searches and comparing the results you get from either engine.

But the question still stands, where will the dividends come from if the companies are underperforming and everyone is retired/dead?
I'm sure it was possible to punch the compiled executable as an option, but I was a student during most of my keypunching days so the cards would be read by a card reader the computer would compile the FORTRAN and then execute the program, reading input data from cards that were stacked behind the source code.

One summer, I worked at an engineering firm and had to run a program frequently on a set of input; it's possible that the executable I was loading into the card reader was already compiled and not the original FORTRAN source, but I don't remember for sure.
CVE-2015-3193 in OpenSSL, CVE-2016-1938 in NSS. There were more, it's been a while.

I hope something changes with the way apple manages bugs. It’s incredibly demoralizing to spend my time reproducing a bug, writing up the bug report I’d want to receive (including a minimal test case), and hearing nothing for years until it’s either closed or receiving a message asking me to do more work to determine if it’s still an issue.

Are there companies that do this well, at a scale approaching Apple’s?

I can think of lots of reasons why this is a “hard problem”, and how it’d be hard to staff. I also think they’re getting paid to solve this problem, and aren’t.
> How could we learn the inaccuracies of our sense perceptions without involving those very same (flawed) perceptions?

By taking measurements from machines, who are devoid of such flaws.

> I totally agree that it is our duty to identify and account for our biases and inaccuracies, but I don’t think we could ever reach any meaningful certainty about the topic.

What in the world? That's literally what science has been attempting to do for over 1000 years. With varying degrees of success, true, but it's the best way we have so far to be able to approximate 'reality' without relying on our senses.

DuckDB interoperates with polars dataframes easily. I see DuckDB as a SQL engine for dataframes.

Any DuckDB result is easily converted to Pandas (by appending .df()) or Polars (by appending .pl()).

The conversion to polars is instantaneous because it’s zero copy because it all goes through Arrow in-memory format.

So I usually write complex queries in DuckDB SQL but if I need to manipulate it in polars I just convert it in my workflow midstream (only takes milliseconds) and then continue working with that in DuckDB. It’s seamless due to Apache Arrow.

Jon Haidt is a conservative now??
<snip>
If Haidt and those like him are getting lumped in with the MAGA election-denying types, we're all screwed.

There's only one person that I see in this branch of comments trying to lump Haidt in with the MAGA-hat-wearers. One can be a conservative without a red hat. To put it another way, what, you're going to argue that Haidt is progressive? It doesn't take much of a glance at the URL you listed to determine that just isn't the case.
It's hard to compete with ideas that generate power. I'm not sure Chomsky has ever fully realize this. His problem has always been he's too academic and doesn't understand human nature or reality very well. Smart guy though.

But going back to the idea of ideas that generate power - that's what is useful. Ideas and concepts that can be used to justify the use of power in some form. Ideas that can be used to "change the world", or more bluntly "exercise power over others". It doesn't mean that every notion that is useful to power is wrong but rather that we should be suspicious of it.

And unfortunately, with the way universities are incentivized today a lot of bad ideas are taken as given because they produce power and are therefore more useful than the ideas that don't. Hence all the "crises", and "injustices", etc.
while I'm not a fan of rebase, I don't think it's a design mistake of git. I do think it's a dangerous tool used entirely too cavalierly by a lot of developers.

It's like using an ORM as an abstraction. Someone could build an ORM that took a hard stance that raw SQL should never, ever be used. Such a tool is less useful than an ORM that allows raw SQL but encourages the use of the ORM's facilities instead.
You sampled your own voice?
That's cool and very useful, should have been in the USB specs ("connectors shall have supported version and speed imprinted").

But realistically, I can't remember the last time I cared about the data speed of a USB cable, I use USB cables almost 100% for charging. I have a few memory sticks I plug in from time to time, but those get plugged in direct without a cable.
No, because git bisect operates off of the information in the history. And thanks to the bad rebase, the history no longer existed in the branch.
LLM Embeddings and Outlier Dimensions
Care to provide any links? The Twitter claim above is that their was no communication and the ban occurred on a Friday.
The artillery being sent to Ukraine isn’t very relevant for Taiwan. And much of what is sent to Ukraine is old stock that was about to expire anyway. If anything, this has given western countries an excuse to ramp up production of new modern stocks that wouldn’t otherwise have been accepted by its citizens.

Not sure how Iran and Koreas is relevant.

If Iran latched out at its neighbours and that region is plunged into chaos, it’ll hurt China more than USA. China is desperately dependent on oil from that region. USA is a net exporter.

There’s not much we could do for South Korea regardless. Seoul will be flattened by artillery before we have time to react. And in the medium term I think what’s left of South Korea could wipe out the North on their own. Not good for China either. Would open a land bridge from a US ally to Chinas mainland.

The drone boats Ukraine is developing is a disaster for Chinas invasion plans as well I think. Chinas plan depends on overwhelming Taiwan with thousands of ships, many of which will not have advanced anti ship weapons. If Taiwan can take out most of them with cheap drone boats or even small drone submarines, Chinas plans aren’t viable. I’m sure Taiwan is studying Ukraines solutions closely.
I know it was a long post I made. But yes, I (and we) recognize people want the results better. I covered this at the end (along with some other parts):

"That said, there’s room to improve. There always is. Search and content can move through cycles. You can have a rise in unhelpful content, and search systems evolve to deal with it. We’re in one of those cycles. I fully recognize people would like to see better search results on Google. I know how hard people within Google Search are working to do this. I’m fortunate to be a part of that. To the degree I can help — which includes better communicating, ensuring that I reflect the humbleness that we — and I feel — I’ll keep improving on myself."

15 years ago I would have agreed with you. However with XI in power and the way he is turning the country I no longer can agree. XI isn't stupid - he won't start a war tomorrow - but he is building up both the military power needed to start a war in 10 years, and the international political climate to make that less harmful to China if he does.

Only time will tell of course, but right now I'm cautious about China as they may be willing to bite their trade partners in the future.
> the mess is the actual history.

The true history is not recorded in your normal commits either. Every time you modify your source buffer, that is the true sequence of events. This truth is lost already as you undo/rework things before you commit. You're ALWAYS manipulating and telling a false story of history whether you realize it or not.

Commits are a tool that give stronger backup/undo protections over simple file saves and in-memory editor undo lists. Just because you happened to save your work in a commit doesn't mean it should be instantly be regarded as holy history. Not anymore so than if you simply saved the file.

I think the bar for "holy" history should be whether it is published to a shared branch.

I think it's safe to say that Apple doesn't care about any individual developer unless they are large enough (i.e. Adobe) to move the needle. If developers really wanted to get Apple's attention, they wouldn't boycott Feedback Assistant, they'd boycott the App Stores. If enough developers pull their apps off the market it would move the needle and Apple would have to pay attention.
