> The idea that "the computer will disappear" is probably accurate in the long term.

Why though? Computer requires attention, which pretty much rules out doing something else while using it, except perhaps when passively listening to a podcast (which doesnt really qualify as computer use). Even though we may see new mediums, the mode of interaction will remain similar to that of a book
times like this make it really frustrating to be red-green colorblind.

Elixir dev here, just to put the context in place first hehe.

Couldn’t that thing be typed as the web format? A nested set of string props with either string or number types in the leaves.

Then use those types to traverse and pull into «real» types?

I like to put structured data into structs in elixir too and the above is essentially what I would do in Elixir.

I don’t know rust well enough to see if I am missing some nuance

Yeah, in a city I would expect the mail person to leave a receipt in your mailbox.

Because they talk over noisy, distorted channels that have about 3 kHz bandwidth, in environments that are noisy to begin with?

You can talk to your PC in 16 bit (or more) audio sampled at 48 kHz, with a decent microphone, in a relatively quiet environment. Moreover, it could be tailored to understand your voice specifically, not just anyone saying "U".
Elixir is a bit in the middle, with the massive amount of very specific pattern matching for each function and the fact that modules are just plain collection of functions and not objects I would say it's the most static of dynamic languages.

They are working on typing it now from the blog posts I've seen and they will probably be successful because the language is well suited for that in my opinion
The bigger issue is that part of the reason why Starship didn’t make it to orbit is because debris from the launch pad being destroyed was kicked back into the engines.
Typing already allows sensitive conversations with computers in public as long as no one is directly peeking at your screen. When I talk to humans in public, I'm not using them as an utility tool to manage information for me, because computers do a better job. These aren't comparable scenarios.
Exactly the same situation here. Agree 100%.
Apple has a memory opportunity. They've got enough customers that will just blindly pay whatever they ask. They know it and they're charging accordingly
I really don’t understand this approach to employment in the US.

A employer should be able to talk with an employee about issues or notify them with with reasonable time that their position is changing.

I know at least that I prefer to work in those kind of environments. I prefer to be approached and trusted with the information (good or bad).

Otherwise, how can we even work effectively as a business?

OPs situation does seem challenging and if the employee really needs to be fired for cause, then why prolong the inevitable?
I've been using Elixir for over a year now and the only thing that's missing for me is a static type system, really looking forward to this: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/09/20/strong-arrows-gradua...

The EU research frameworks are first and foremost aimed at building cross-national relations, second at industry subsidising under an accepted pretense, and third at forging academic industry transfers. Getting actually market results from the stated research objective is a far fourth.

Think about it this way: if you have a true strategic research objective as a company, would your approach be 'I am going to share this idea with in a not public but not private either research proposal after I have built out a an international consortium and parcelled out different workitems for the realization of this idea to a host of 'partners' whos stratgic innovation ideas allign with my own, the hope for a 5% chance of receiving approval and a partial funding grant 2 years after I got the idea appoved internall, that imposes an extremely heavy reporting and management process on me to monitor and report on a series of prenegotiated 'deliverables' and evaluations over the next 3 years after which we can maybe exploit this resulting shared IP?

The unfortunate reality is that as a result most research departments, both industry and academic, spent nearly all their effort on grant aquisition and grant management, and only what is left goes to producing contractual agreements and passing reviews with no further leeway for actual research

There are exceptions. I would fully support a strategic EU tech 'decollonization' effort as it is badly needed, but the current programs are never going to succeed in that as they are not set up for this, and getting a true successful effort of the ground would probably meet with substatial political detraction.

P.S. Despite the above I have loved working in the EU research space. The International work environment is truely enriching, and most people working in this arena are realy bright and at the top of their game.

I was the replacement for a bus factor 1 employee in a massive company and I would strongly recommend just terminating the employee (if that’s what you have to do) as soon as possible and figure the rest of the details out. It won’t be as bad as you think. If you can give them a severance deal that will secure their cooperation that’s great but if not you and/or your existing employees will cope.

My story: I was hired by a massive global company to be the London counterpart of an employee in New York. They had hired this guy to run their Linux servers when Linux was a scrappy little experiment for them and very quickly all of their global businesses relied on Linux and they had about 200 Linux boxes globally which were not approved by IT and were supported and maintained by just one dude (who was a contractor on a visa btw. This will become important in a sec).

So they realised this one guy was critical and wanted to try to hire him permanently and also hired me to work with him so all this critical infra wasn’t only in the hands of one person. Now he said he had discussed the transition to permanent with his agency (but he hadn’t) and when they found out they immediately sued my new employer. So that was day 2 of my employment. I had flown to New York on what was supposed to be a 2 week stint to learn the ropes before coming back to London[1].

So all of a sudden because his contracting company sued they had to shut this guy out which meant his visa status was revoked and he was going to get flown out of the country. And because of the legal action my new employers were enjoined from speaking with him at all.

So there I was, suddenly sysadmin for about 200 boxes with (of course) no documentation and in a position where if they went down we stood to lose literally millions of dollars. And all I had had by way of a transition was to be added to the sudoers file (globally) and a friendly chat[2] where we had said no need to overload me while I was jetlagged and over the next two weeks he would hand over all the knowledge about how things worked etc.

The point is, there were bumps on the road but the transition worked out ok. We figured out how everything worked and gradually I put everything in a position where if I had to leave they wouldn’t be in that predicament again. I also hired my replacement(s) and moved on to other things within the same organisation.

[1] Eventually ended after 4 months when my visa was expiring so I had to fly home

Honestly the parking lots should be the absolute first stop on the search for places to put solar. Literally all parking lots can and should be filled with solar. Nature preserves should be the absolute last place to install it. Why on earth would we displace wildlife and thus rile up the nature conservationists when the parking lot real estate has already displaced the wildlife that was there? The benefits are two-fold, you get shade for cars which reduces our total combined fuel consumption for hvac, at least by an order of magnitude. Even in snowy places, you get covered parking which saves from idling cars to melt ice, in addition to the generation.

All that needs to be done is that it needs to make financial sense to install. If we can find a way to make it so compelling financially, you’d be crazy not to fill your parking lot with solar.

Flip side to this, is I’ve had Carpal Tunnel for a while now, had surgery 2 years ago. It’s somewhat better and I am now active at the gym and in general it has helped a lot but extreme gripping such as deadhangs, deadlifts and heavy rows actually aggravates my symptoms. I started using straps for any weight over 50kg and my hands have got a lot better.

I’ve found that when you’re going from (weak, sedentary) => (strong, active) it can sometimes be difficult to discern what activities are good or bad for your pain. Sometimes you need to work through pain to find relief and strength on the other side, but sometimes working through pain just leads to more pain. The boundaries aren’t always clear at the time.
We do it all the time for UX - make everything in new UI feature customizable through command line and have them tweak it until they are happy. There are always rendering differences between their mock tools and actual devices. For example, it's impractical to render UI in same layers as the tool does, and also real time graphics drivers can not use the same algorithms as desktop image editors.

So seems just common sense, although I am sure back in the day it was a lot more effort to add development UI and have it fit in memory?
I agree, it’s equally likely that the person they were trying fire was an asshole too.

> I tried at some point to use Rust for an API but then I depended on making calls to a very complex API. In JavaScript I would have just gotten back a complex object where I can then pick whatever I want progressively through object access methods. In Rust I ended up with more than 500 lines of type definition for the API and it still wasn't enough so I gave up.

You can always deserialize things as `serde_json::Value` instead of making types for everything to get similar behavior out of Rust.

Blame government regulations in this case, probably? It seems implausibly evil that they would be that anal about things just to preserve the in-group club status. But, if it's about employee vs contractor distinction for regulations, it makes total sense (well, not at a global/system level, but the behavior in isolation).

Somewhere in the ballpark of 5:30-6:00 or so it describes prior hardware design of the Apple's shader core, and starting 7:00 it goes into hardware design of the new M3/A17Pro shader core.

Absolutely. I find the best way is to pick a single thing you want to do with it and go through all the tutorials you can find (which is true of other art tools as well).

I'd have liked some options like FBX exporting to have been included in the free option, for example to see if I can export their new cloud volumes to something I can use in Unity. But there is the monthly payment plan which is quite reasonable for experimentation if you don't want to pay the once off fee.

As it’s not been mentioned, I’ll say that you should pay very close attention to your desk height.

I had no idea that mine was too high. And then I sat at a colleague’s desk and it was low. Like lowrider-car low. Crazy low. And wow did it feel comfortable.

So then I fixed my own desk. Not to be crazy low, to be the right height. Because if it’s too high, you’re hunched all day. Your shoulders are up, you’re tense.

I also changed my chair. I had a classic office chair, but again too high (I’m average height, not a millimetre more), and with wheels. The wheels were killing me — all day your legs are trying to keep you stable, which sounds like cool exercise but isn’t. Turns out just being stable is better.

So I bought a chair. A wooden chair with four legs. About AU$80 from IKEA.

These two things alone transformed my RSI. I know, because I didn’t change my keyboard (Microsoft Ergo Sculpt) or my mouse (Logi MX Anywhere 3? whatever, just a mouse), or anything else. I didn’t exercise.

I fixed my desk height and my chair and my crippling RSI went away.
