Is this the right place (/s) for me to complain about a regression in iOS 17.1 and 17.2 (beta) where typing too fast will randomly switch to other apps? [1]

It’s such a frustrating experience that I’ve noticed my communication has gone down noticeably in the past two weeks.

If rephrase that as “use moments of inefficiency to teach juniors how to use their tools better”

Showing someone how to use column edit, or macros, or automated method refactor, will change their productivity dramatically. It’s the role of leaders to teach and empower.

Interesting!

Can you give a quick explanation for someone too dumb to understand your first citation?

I use pgp for years but struggle to understand how proton can say email is encrypted when I never have to decrypt it myself.

If proton has the key how is that different from Google just encrypting everything until right before it displays?

I used proton for a couple years but moved back to Gmail cause I figured all the encryption talk was just promotional and using pgp your self is the only way.
> You're being dramatic and uncharitable.

Being uncharitable with security critical software is the right attitude to have.

> GPG works.

Yeah, not quite. I've used it extensively. I've got an excellently well connected key. I've tried writing software that uses gpg. I've reached the conclusion that it's a lost cause.

> If you don't like it, invent something better.

People have. Things like the Signal protocol for instance.
> Some Facebook users have also reported instances of hackers taking advantage of the PGP encryption feature to compromise accounts. Once a hacker gains access to a Facebook account, they can proceed to activate email encryption.

It's quite disingenuous to make it sound like PGP was the problem here.

Read that sentence again: "Once a hacker gains access to a Facebook account" regardless of PGP or not... then, of course, they own the account and can do what they want!! But that's the problem, not that they can enable PGP encryption. If you had PGP encryption to start with, ironically you wouldn't be "susceptible" at all as it's the hacker who wouldn't be able to read your emails even after compromising your account (though they may do worse thing at that point).
> Sometimes you should follow the crowd. Sometimes you should forge a different path. Figuring out when to do what is both really hard and really important.

We used to call that "management."
What is shitty about it?
It's exactly what i've been doing for the last 12 years. IBM Spacesaver keyboards + vim keybindings everywhere possible, and during the year, stretching forearms everyday.
This particular example with the string types was Haskell, but Rust often makes you think about performance decisions at all times as well. I'm fully aware that that's the point of Rust, however (and yes there are ways to stop worrying and just `clone`)
Financial and HR management is more often than not decoupled from engineering management. So on one hand, yes, you need to allocate your resources to deliver important projects most of all. But also in good times it might be easier to justify your need for more resources to finance, and increase the total number of your subordinates. And don't forget that in the times of plenty public companies might be rewarded for increasing their headcount too.
Also, type mimi in the first code example: the two 'm's have different width...

Again, the problem with all those is establishing they would not have arisen without NASA.

Another problem is the transition from "NASA was involved with this technology somehow" to "NASA is entirely responsible for this technology".

Behind all this is the presumption that technological advancement is limited by the availability of inventions rather than the availability of markets.
Ah yes. I guess they do that so that it doesn't take 3 to 4times the duration because of traffic.
Wow.

Sounds almost too surreal to be true.

Is it really that demoralized in the management there? That's scary.

This issue can be fixed by switching the display to RGB [1]. So I think it’s a software bug but it‘s really annoying since the fix sometimes resets and the bug only occurs when there is a lot of black on the screen.

Static typing can replace input validation though - if you make illegal states unrepresentable. That way you bake validation into your types e.g. using refined types: https://blog.rockthejvm.com/refined-types/ in Scala

Number of Token per Second Calculations
Hi! I'm trying to calculate the number of token per second that I expect to get from "llama 7b" model deployed on A10G (31.52 TFLOPS for FP16).

I know that the number of tokens = (TFLOPS / (2 * number of model parameters))

When I do the calculations I found that

no_of_tokens = (31.52 * 10e12) / (2 * 7 * 10e9) = 2251.4285714285716 tokens / second

but what I get from the model is approximately 32 token / second.

Am I missing something?
> The current system, in place since a few decades, is akin to a voucher system. I.e. the funding is ultimately via the taxpayer, but through different organizations.

As an American, this sounds like exactly like a charter school system is. Or do you mean that the word is used differently outside America in other anglophone countries? From looking up the term online, it seems like it's mainly an American term.
> Volatility is steadily going down. If this continues, Bitcoin will surpass gold in stability

Also steadily going down is the block subsidy. In 21 years it will be 64x less than what it is now, and some decades later it will be negligible, leaving only fees to incentivize miners to secure Bitcoin.

Research suggests that Bitcoin might become somewhat lacking in stability then [1].

It’s funny but anyone who’s ever used Gmail’s “Accounts” tab on its options page, has voluntarily given Google their passwords to keep forever.

Now Microsoft wraps their web UI in a “native” app and everybody loses their mind.

It’s hardly unusual for an internet-connected app to be at least partially run in the cloud in 2023. Much less unusual when it’s something related to MS365 and AI (one of the banner features of this new release)
Great to hear. I would also like to share this in some way.

After more than 15 years of average default Ubuntu user, I also had to move, in my case I went to OpenSuse Tumbleweed (TW).

While there were a lot of Ubuntu changes over the years, that I managed to adapt to, this time I realised it was too much work on my side as a user:

- for snaps, since I have data spread across different mounts, I had to apply some bindfs cludge to address the hardcoded paths that snaps get access to.

- for Gnome I got tired of having to install all kinds of 3rd party extensions for basic UI features like right click actions.

Debian or derivative would have been my initial choice too, I went with OpenSuse because it's got a strong developer backing and very responsive update schedule, it's a rolling release which means that it has quite new packages but also if updates break it, you can quickly revert it with snapper.
Some downsides to consider are that this is not a Debian derivate so, while most guides on the Internet can be 'ported' to OpenSuse it's a bit more involving. That said they also feature quite some good docs, so many common scenarios are covered.

PS I know you can get the same Gnome on OpenSuse, but the upside is that one has access to more recent alternative DEs, which can replace Gnome on rolling releases.

I'm not denying your PoV. Water is a basic necessity and shouldn't be charged a king's ransom for.

> What should have happened instead is that the world bank should have helped to finance the new system as a way to make up for their previous disastrous handling of the situation.

But does the World Bank even do that kind of financing? They and the IMF seem only intent on financing assured projects in developed countries or projects in developing countries which simply siphon money into politicians' pockets, with their tacit knowledge. That was part of the motivation behind Asian Investment Bank, and the other Chinese propped competitors.

My point was that in spite of the "revolution" succeeding, and in spite of the revolutionary leaders taking charge of power for a record number of years, the town continues to suffer from the lack of water.

When I was young, manufacturing was everywhere. All the support needed was all around. Specialist companies, specialist people, it was easy. Now they bulldoze industrial districts, or turn the factories into condos. If you want to make stuff, skilled workers are rare and all old like me. Support is rare to non-existant. Supplies, tooling, etc. are ordered from far away. All of this makes every step harder. Being in the middle of your industry is an order of magnitude easier.
ah. serves me right for geeking out during boring meeting. confused it in my head with Colombia. Visited both, should have known better =)
Can Canonical at least make snaps work nicely if we're really going all in?

I don't want to run things in classic mode or whatever just so they can access the data they need. Please, make snapd or whatever supervises these things pop a modal and ask for permissions like Mac does.

I'll follow you into the dark, Ubuntu, but not if the stuff is broken.

Same goes to flatpaks and any other "this is better, no seriously it is.. oh except that, yeah that doesn't work" package managers

At the very least if the app fails to start please show the dang error message! I have to manually run the binary on the CLI just to see why things aren't working sometimes. No info or error of any kind lol, they just don't start.
Ya, it is for plain ol linux. I built it w/ C++, OpenGL, and Xlib
The message is gone now, whatever it was must have been resolved.
Don't wait, leave. Get on an OS that serves you.

This would be so useful to verify Maven PGP keys. Is there any sort of integration with that? If not, I am thinking of writing that.
> This lets me wait 10 seconds to let GPT tell the definitions for each part of the JWT, which don't change.

Yeah, that's lost on me. Why not embed it as a string? Seems quite lazy, as the current solution would presumably eat up all their OpenGPT credits.

That, and I would have preferred an explainer from someone who understands JWT. Another obvious disadvantage of using AI is that the response can change over time, so it has the potential to hallucinate.

> This is like an afternoon of work, and it's more or less a carbon copy of the existing tools. No one will care about any of the features you are describing. How much time do you think people spend on debugging JWTs?

This seems a bit dismissive, though. Let's see how many people use it before making broad judgements like that. It comes across as rude and unnecessary.
Quite good except Radon. I can not look at it
I mostly agree with you. Just wanted to add that in some languages, for example in Typescript, there are ways to say that you do not care about the type for prototyping. For example using :unknown or :any.
Neat, I was thinking of virtual Link in GBA ROMs to talk with LLMs for dialogue :)
Venezuela has an eastern coast that, I think, would be suitable for a launch site if you put it south of Trinidad and Tobago.

It’s far from population centers, though (1), so it would require building/growing a city for personnel to live. It also appears to be swampy (not a show stopper, as Florida shows, but not ideal, either), and it has monsoons, so the weather may be a showstopper.

I also would be worried about political stability of the country.

(1) Apple Maps shows Tucupita as about the only thing near that coast. It’s about 100km away and, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucupita has a population of less than 100,000.

> Depression and sucidides in first world countries, the ones that tick all the intial boxes, are a highs not experienced since WWII. [1] is just from a quick googling and US-only. You won't have trouble finding much more evidence to support this though, for many other 1st world countries.

It's difficult to compare suicide statistics over time, especially over decades, because definitions change. (For one example, in England a coroner used to need to be able to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that a person had died by suicide, and that changed to balance of probabilities in 2018).

It's also important not to use sources like media outlets for suicide statistics, because they often don't understand what's being counted or how it's being counted. Statistics are tricky, and media often get them wrong.

You say that it's easy to show that suicides are at an all time high in many first world countries, but that's not correct. In many countries rates peaked in about 2008 - 2010 because of world wide financial crash, and have been declining since then. We might see another peak because of the financial (and other) distress caused by pandemic, but so far we're not seeing a big increase.
> They would launch 500-1000 startups with knowledge of how some market of merely a hundred million people is being underserved. A dozen or a hundred of those would become true competitors in those markets.

So, cut headcount, juice the stock, then have a bunch of possible acquisition targets that have developed viable products in new markets by not being saddled with the intractable corporate inefficiencies you suffer? Sounds like breaking some eggs for a tasty omelette.

I'm only mostly kidding.
It’s an engineer and they provide a transcription.
Yes it sucks. But from the company's perspective not hiring a replacement first is even more risky.
It really depends on the size of the workspace your loading.

Try opening some heinously large project with 100+ dylibs (react-native) compared against a lean, statically linked single module workspace. You can have them open side by side and it’s like experiencing hell and heaven simultaneously.
The parent's remark was about US media. Hardly "some newspapers" to pay, and how does the EU come into play here?

> It's not unreasonable to assume that that's correlated with doing odd things.

I don't think this logically follows: it is odd to win the lottery but being weird while scratching your ticket doesn't make you more likely to win.

But even if we accept "successful startups did something odd, and that was responsible for their success", it seems more likely that successful startups found a couple key odd things which helped them succeed, but that startups which specifically deliberately opt into doing odd things without reason are more likely to fail than average. Most odd things are odd because they are bad, at any given decision taking the odd path is more likely to lead to failure except for a few golden odd opportunities that you have to try to identify somehow.

I guess it also depends on the goal of the startup, if you're buying a unicorn lottery ticket with your streaming video startup then leaning into increasing variance might be what you want. If you accept "lifestyle startup run rate" as a success it seems more likely to succeed doing maximally boring things.
Hm, I don't think this is working. The JavaScript throws a "Uncaught (in promise) be: Failed to base64url decode the signature" error, but the website says the signature is verified.

Furthermore, if you enter the wrong key (just made a key on jwt.io, copied it into here, and entered the wrong key), it still says the signature is verified.
I didn't care about quickcharge on smartphones until I got one that supported it. Now I cannot see myself going back.

I think the EV market will see some significant changes, similar to how smartphones had about 10 years of very rapid advancements. Which make me wonder what people who paid top dollar for the first EVs think about the current market

I am sad. I am forced to work with a safety knife. It’s absolutely not ergonomic. Paper cutter is completely forbidden. Then safety shoes and coat. Just to sit in different environment at the computer in production area. I see this thing as a bit overstretched. People are trying to hide accidents because then the whole department will have weekly safety meetings after some minor thing like dropping a monitor on your foot. Afterwards we got carts to transport lab equipment and computers between tables. I am in Germany and this is shocking.

I also skipped to the ending:

> So after 15 months I was out of there. I learned that I don’t care about the money Google pays. I don’t care about the high scale of influence your work can have. I skipped from series A startup to mature IPO’d company and cheated myself out of the experiences you get in-between. I want to earn the scale through hard work.

They HATE encryption, it's why control of the Bitcoin GitHub repo is so critical, an encrypted peer to peer payment option is even more dangerous than encrypted peer to peer communication.
Once I started climbing (indoor bouldering), all my RSI pain went away- I assume due to increased strength in my forearms and hands. It was mild enough to be managed by stretching during breaks, using split keyboards (that was more for shoulder pain), and wrist straps. But those were things they had to actively do to keep it at bay, whereas now I don’t think about it anymore since it doesn’t exist anymore.
I guess they would use the word survivor to say that the person did not end up ending their stay on this earth.
Apparently not, but even if you probably shouldn't reveal identities if the OP didn't do it already.
Sexual abuse has very poor odds of emotional recovery. Surviving an emotional ordeal is a valid use and recognized meaning: "to continue to live after being in a ... difficult situation" (Cambridge dictionary). Example: "she survived two divorces." In this case, psychological abuse can, and often does, lead to "destruction or death," which could be a crushed self-esteem, a crippling depression or even suicide.
