AWS Restructures and Consolidates Its Well-Architected Framework
Michael Burry, one of the guys that shorted the house market in 2008, started to invest in water since 2013

From Wiki:
"In 2013, Burry reopened his hedge fund, this time called Scion Asset Management, filing reports as an exempt reporting adviser (ERA) active in the state of California and approved by the SEC.[19] He has focused much of his attention on investing in water, gold, and farm land. He has said, "Fresh, clean water cannot be taken for granted. And it is not—water is political, and litigious."[20]"

Native apps aren't automatically less bloated, take Xcode vs VSCode for instance. Native apps might just have more optimization potential, but that doesn't mean that the potential is realized. The most efficient applications are 10 or 20 years old, running on modern hardware ;)
Don't forget, they are also forced to buy a Mac. License demand that iOS SDK must be used only on Apple hardware.
Maybe, but 2+ second pauses are way too much to indicate a position on your screen, since you do that a lot during coding
Yep. I was lucky to visit to see the nearby 2021 eruption – and also got in a Blue Lagoon stop.

Peninsula / coast / power / airport / key roads all pretty close, and an eruption could be bigger & longer.

I do have immense confidence in Iceland's ability & expertise to adapt no matter what. They know their land, & the geo science, very well and can coordinate/cooperate on a rapid, large scale.
> 8GB is still good enough for office workers and students.

The article specifically talks about the _Macbook Pro_, which shouldn't target office workers and students.
Yeah, if you've never seen one, take a look at a child's skull: it's freaky-looking. Most people have no idea because we don't normally see these, only adult ones.
> Would suck to give up video games entirely though.

You don't necessarily have to do that. I'm adding voice recognition into the game I'm working on right now, for example. It helps that it's a turn-based strategy game to begin with, though.

And there are players that manage to play games with limited or no mobility in their hands at all, with the right accessible controllers.
Hospitals in Thailand are actually pretty awesome. I received surgery in Thailand and spent a week in the hospital recovering.

The hospital was amazing and like nothing I’ve seen in Western Europe. Granted it was a private hospital but the people there were almost uniformly Thai.

Thailand is surprisingly economically strong. I don’t think it’s a third world country.

Love Steve. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a conference once. I wonder if Mexico City's historically bad air pollution had something to do with it. Apparently the oxygen levels are 25% lower in the city, due to its high altitude, making the air pollution worse. Carbon-based fuels also do not combust completely.

I've no idea exactly how MS licenses uses of DX, but just for context Imagination Technologies just released a custom GPU design that implements DirectX Feature Level 11_0 (which corresponds to earlier versions of DX 12 [1]): https://www.imaginationtech.com/news/imagination-launches-br...

Imagination Technologies is a near 40 year old British silicon IP company that has been doing GPUs for quite some time, just not ones supporting DX up until now, and it has nothing to do with MS (in terms of ownership / rights / etc).

Hey all! Just wanted to come on here and say that I predicted Omegle's death :) then I started a project that leveraged the same tech as Omegle, but instead of connecting you with complete strangers it connects you with your friends and mutuals (so it's safer, because at the very least you've likely heard of the people you are getting connected to IRL). We launched a week ago, and yesterday Omegle crumbled... Crazy!! Let me know what you think!

I think this is just about pricing. A Macbook with 8GB RAM is a shitty product. But you get to advertise that Macbooks start at 1599.

Apple does a lot of analytics maybe they see that there's really a group of people who just use the default apps with some light browsing. But I think it's rather unlikely.

I don't think that's true. Latency is critical when the limiting factor is that you know what you want to do but in order to do it, you need to issue many requests all at once. With GPT4 I can issue requests at a high enough level that the limiting factor is actually me thinking of what the next request will be.

While it's probably not many companies that works this way, and use Outlook, I do wonder what happens if your IMAP is on a closed network.

It is completely possible to have SMTP and IMAP be on internal networks and not on the internet (SMTP obviously needs a way to rely to a internet connected buddy).
Yes, there is no guarantee that Macs are trending that way. However, I have a feeling that Apple Silicon Macs, even with 8GB, will last very longer than Intel Macs with the same amount of memory in the past.
That doesn't look like an independent verification: it's done by humans engrossed in math. If math was verified by someone who doesn't believe in math, that would be independent. But such things don't happen, naturally stuff are verified by people already interested in the topic. If you don't believe in math, you won't bother to verify it.

I didn't want to say it in my initial post because I feared I would be downvoted for people thinking I was just spamming AI products. (I got downvoted anyways, so I guess it didn't matter.) I just use the Cursor IDE though, it's fabulous if you already use VSCode. And yeah I have no association with Cursor.

Cursor is pretty smart about what to prompt GPT with. In the case that you described, you might prompt it with something like "check for prod" and I expect it would work. The reason it would have a better success rate is that it's usually quite good about what context to send over - it would likely pick up the type definitions (if you have those) or other files that do similar things and send those over as well.

To give a full answer to your question, I actually wouldn't prompt it with "check for prod" at all because that would be underutilizing GPT. I would probably prompt at the complexity level of something like "edit this component so that if we're in prod, we show a warning message at the top". I would expect GPT to do that accurately for a component up to 100-200 lines virtually every time.
Holy shet
Going off topic, but the size of the programming language communities is a good source for shuting down the Kotlin folks on how the language is taking over the world.

17.5 million users versus about 6 million, basically the ones being driven by Google to Kotlin on Android.

Back to topic, I feel Rust is a great language for production on scenarios where having automatic memory management is forbidden, like in high integrity computing, GPGPU code, micro-controllers and such.

Everywhere else, a mix of automatic memory mangement, value types and eventually linear typing, are a much ergonomic approach.
For Google and Apple at least, wouldn't you get a message saying that a new device has attempted to connect, asking you to confirm?

There are a bunch of steps in the refining process. One of the first step is pulverizing/grinding where you can separate out the constituent components based on density. This step can done locally and will cut the volume of the ore by 75-90 percent.

However, given the regulatory environment in the US surrounding refinement, there is likely a huge opportunity for innovation in this space.

If you're going to do this, make sure you work out the muscles that support your wrists before you start lifting heavy things.

If you already have an injury, you want to build up supporting muscles first so you don't end up making it worse, and start slow.
The author is missing the point. If your editor doesn't have abbreviations, snippets, completion, etc., you're doing it wrong.

If you can type above ~80 WPM (which basically just means you can touch type), then using the proper tools your effective WPM is easily above 150 and thus totally irrelevant.

Or put in other words, once you can touch type, you are far better off improving your tools and workflows than practicing typing. In a competition you might train your legs, but in real life you get in a car.
> ... and after a long discussion, decided that he could not work with Borman.

This I wish was (still?) acceptable. It's like somewhere along the way we decided that everyone must be able to cooperate effectively and efficiently with everyone, and largely (do our very best to) ignore all the problems that brings.

I've only been at one company where they tried to address this, and actually let us form our own teams. It worked better than expected.

Sorry, I was around for DirectX 1.0 back when GPUs were called "graphics accelerators", and don't see how that's possible.

Do you have a source for that, or is there some implicit caveat like counting some emulation later or something? Even then...
> However, if you have a 7 figure net worth, you could probably get to 7 figures annually relatively easily.

something to reasonably expect, might be be a 4% real return (i.e. net of inflation). that's achievable with discipline and no skill through low fee passive index investment. luck of avoiding catastrophes would also help.

at 4% real return, assuming you paid zero tax, your wealth doubles roughly once every 19 years. To throw off a 7 figure income at 4% real return you need $25m invested. That's 4.6 doublings of your initial $1m, so after 80-something years you're across the line. better start early.

Another way to accelerate the journey is to cheat and convert your money into a currency that is extremely devalued, then your income can have many additional figures even if your wealth is unchanged.
Contractors should cost more than a FTE you’re buying expertise and the contractor is shouldering the risk and burdens of not being a FTE.

Unless you believe in some kind of transcendental mind/soul, experiences such as color can't be anything other than physical processes in the brain (and/or the rest of the body).

The fact that we can't identify them with our current level of understanding of the workings of the brain is not very surprising - it is an extremely complex organ and our tools for understanding organs are very primitive in the grand scheme of things.

Some of the key realizations that led to healthier working posture for me have been:

1. Remembering what I learned from piano lessons at music school: keyboard should be approximately under your fingers if you relax your arms and bend your elbows 90 degrees. Where playing, you you have to engage your arms, not only fingers.

2. Putting screen at approximately eye level, give or take.

Yes, the above means a laptop is by default unsuitable for serious work. An external keyboard and/or display is a must.

3. Realizing that what we (at least in my generation) were taught at school about “orderly” position at a desk is a pile of something between wrongness and abuse. Relaxed, laid-back sitting position is best for you, and any boss or instructor who tries to tell you otherwise is engaging in status games.

I think this has royally screwed up my emotional intelligence. American media always tells you how you should react. One of my cousins once told me they were having a baby. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it wasn't "congratulations, I'm so happy for you". It just didn't click with me that this was an exciting thing for them that they wanted to share with me and I kind of regret not responding better.

>However, the expectations for a statically generated site have drastically gotten higher over the years. Readers want (rich) content served fast

No, readers just want content served fast. Nothing beyond simple markdown or static html with some images or video embeds inside.

>Writers want dead simple (but expressive) writing and publishing. They want control over how their writing looks.

Who are those "writers"? If you're making a "static site as a service" perhaps that's a concern.

If you're making your own static site, you can use the simplest Markdown or whatever else you prefer, writing it manually, with or without a generator. You could even use the Motherfucking Website standard (https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/) or the Better Motherfucking Website RFC (http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/) or the Best Motherfucking Website recommendations (https://thebestmotherfucking.website/) or go fancy and use the cutting edge Perfect Motherfucking Website ones (https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/).
Trigger points afaik are a widely accepted concept, my physical therapist tells me that something like 90% of the time her patients' problems are due to trigger points. Or more correctly due to cramping and tense muscles, which trigger points can help alleviate.

The trigger point is basically just a place where you can push on the muscle, and apparently when you push on a muscle that's tense, it's forced to relax itself. It's painful, but only as long as the muscle is tense. Relaxed muscles are not painful when pushed.
Why "almost?"

Who won out, HR or treating contractors humanely? Or did they come correct without firing required?
I think static typing (without escape hatches) slow you down when you're a library or framework author, or you're doing something high performance. The reason being that there are many trivial and non-trivial propositions which the field has ironed over but the core language/compiler team hasn't caught up yet.

I've seen a lot of authors do crazy type things to get around the type system (like typing out recursion to the n-th level by hand), and I think many open source projects are slowed down by the lack of a type wizard on their team.

In my opinion, AWS can be challenging for developers who are not familiar with cloud. The main issue is that it's not very user-friendly to fully utilize all the features of AWS through the Management Console alone. Here are some specific challenges:

1. Constantly switching between different components can cause frequent context switches, making it harder to work efficiently.

2. AWS offers a wide range of capabilities, and developers may struggle with figuring out how to effectively combine them in real-world scenarios.

3. There are many concepts and security restrictions within AWS, such as IAM, which adds complexity to the learning curve.

To make the most of what AWS has to offer, developers need to invest time in studying extensive documentation and even learn Infrastructure as Code. Unfortunately, this can slow down the implementation of innovative ideas.

Fortunately, there are a few new tools that can help address these problems. For instance:
