Okay, I found the MonkeyBall adventure reference, at about 2:17:00 or so (it's so low in the mix usually you just here it when falling out, and there's this sorta terrible whining noise above it), but I remember it sticking out to me for whatever.

Like many things in autism, I have effectively 0 clue why: https://youtu.be/rdnITafjFcQ?si=2mCNpD9zne8YjaKq
After working at Google and Startups, I totally agree. You are much more of a cog at a startup due to the desperate need to grind out the next A/B test or customer requirement.

People WAY over glamorize startups.
Kind of cool, maybe, but oh my god - the awkward video is such a turn off. Hire some actors!
I always wish to say that to you:

THANK YOU!

3D apps are like that; there are simply more degrees of freedom.
There are other paths but this is a complicated/lengthy/nuanced discussion that requires a call with an immigration attorney.
> Google does things the Google way. Just about every piece of software and infrastructure used at Google was built at Google

And now we have most using everything built by Google. Sad times when compared to times when everything was once individually created.
From someone who doesn’t have to live there and pay for it, the Sphere felt like something new to the species. Not just as an incredible internal experience, but just this omnipresent goofy thing.

Imagine waking up in your city and looking out the window simultaneously with thousands of others to see what mood your local sphere is in about this darn weather. It feels like it would be very connecting.

At the same time I appreciate it’s hard to opt out, is rather imposing, and will eventually just show ads.
Ensuring high-quality apps on Google Play
Good exploration of the clip/pin/brooch form-factor that was previously explored by the Narrative Clip (http://getnarrative.com/). Can it be worn on a necklace? That seems more convenient than attaching it to different pieces of clothes and having it tear/wrench at the fabric.
The "banning of encryption" enjoys near 100% support among the political parties in the UK, so if there was a written constitution, it could simply be altered to allow this.

The US constitution "works" because their political system doesn't.
They suspect fake trades, from one person to themselves. They can pay any price because no real money changes hands, aside from commissions. The presumed goal is to make it appear as if there is high demand.

An interesting exercise for the reader is to look up I-9 authorization, or lack thereof, checks for 1099 workers.
Yep. Another perk is that Google always seems to lease the best/coolest office real estate anywhere.

Most of my time here I feel vaguely gross about how nice everything is.
I’m assuming that it would be feasible to cover the ship with flexible solar pannels and not need generators, but I understand that they want to deal with one problem at a time.
Whatever the answer is, unfortunately we have to regardless
It's great there are companies focused on delivering great Linux hardware.

For context though, every Dell and HP laptops and desktops I've had the past 12 years has been really great with Linux.

The several Lenovo laptops I've had the past 12 years have been great with Linux.
Can the Collatz conjecture be proven, or not?
The strip is pricey, and has very little variety. The art district a couple of miles away and there are restaurants and bars with normal prices and great selection.
I am sure it adds another layer of ironic, wry, situational comedy to that movie as many other layers of it are.

When I learned about how it was basically a shot for shit remake of Zero Hour, AND the story of how and why they basically got to remake it, it tickled me even further.

Sorta reminds me of the infamous official "Ghost Stories" dub, which is....uh.... something else. Er. Lol.

OpenAI should be covered in lawsuits for nerfing a product people paid for and expect to not degrade over time while still paying the same amount.
Funny how when it comes to EU themselves, it OK to skimp on the security. But when it us, we have to abide by 1000x different EN certs, that are either outdated, unreasonable or unnecessary.

The industrial approach to trees is not a good one though. You end up with plantations of tree monoculture.

Japan actually has an issue now where former tree plantations have overgrown and cause extremely high levels of pollen during allergy season, the forest floors of these plantations are dead due to the overgrowth blocking sun, etc. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VC4gRGPbTqE
Play.ht has a great Turbo model that produces audio chunks within less than 200ms from request. It doesn’t sound quite as good as ElevenLabs, but it’s about 90% as good and is much faster. Might be worth checking out.
I think you missed what intuitive means.
> If you think that is parody, you might be in an ideological bubble.

Ah yes, the famous ideological bubble of “not being a wealthy American”. Talk about filter bubbles…

The topic at stake are freedom and private property: the right to do what you want with your car, and the right to fully own a car without the manufacturer having higher rights than you the owner (including rights to disable features remotely).

If you think that “I'm too lazy to get back to my car to lock it” is a good argument in that context, there's not much I can do for you.

And “popularity” isn't relevant either, since remotely brick-able and non-reparable shit are selling well too.

Another case of not making perfect the enemy of good. Some percentage of children who see a disclaimer saying, "Do not use if you're under 18, click here to confirm you're 18+" and decide not to lie and login -- so as a base level, sites that are dangerous for kids should do that.. the should also do a bunch of other stuff, and it certainly should be mitigating to Omegle's liability that they were doing a bunch of other stuff, but they apparently didn't do a few easy things which may cost them.
To the average person working at NASA feels the same. Most professional achievements are being a part of a cog and society functions by people working together as cogs to make a system function.

True, but isn't he much more hands-off now compared to a couple years ago?
> Googlers wanted to ship great work, but often couldn’t. While there were undoubtedly people who came in for the food, worked 3 hours a day, and enjoyed their early retirements, all the people I met were earnest, hard-working, and wanted to do great work.

> What beat them down were the gauntlet of reviews, the frequent re-orgs, the institutional scar tissue from past failures, and the complexity of doing even simple things on the world stage. Startups can afford to ignore many concerns, Googlers rarely can.

I started as someone excited to learn, make things happen, and work hard. Within a few months I realized that the team I joined was the "wrong" version and the "right" version of that team was in another department I couldn't transfer to. My manager was in denial, my team-mates were quitting rapidly, and my skip manager was incredibly toxic.

But the worst part was that doing even a simple thing was a monumental task. Something that for a startup could take an hour to pick up, turn into a PR, get review, launch and get analytics on would take 2 months at Google. You could do other stuff in parallel of course but the iteration cycles were horribly slow and the ability to get feedback almost non-existent. The team I joined had worked on their product for 6 years and only just got the most primitive feedback metrics a few months into my joining.

3 months in and I knew I had to quit. I was out of there 15 months after joining. I'm going back to the startup world on Monday and I'm actually really excited!

The extra pay of Google doesn't matter to me. The extra scale of Google doesn't matter to me. I never want to work at a big organization again and would rather die poor and accomplished than rich and depressed. I came to Silicon Valley to learn as much as possible. If I work on a high-scale system I need to have earned that by building, launching, and supporting that system from step 0. If I get big pay I need to have earned that from excellent product development.
> I think the evidence from these tests are not strong enough to draw conclusions from.

I've used gpt4 turbo for some coding problems yesterday. It was worse. That's enough to draw conclusions for me.
> (a C++ IDE) has been reinvented four times by the same company

They only have one C++ IDE. That is CLion.

Rider is a .NET IDE. ReSharper C++ is an extension for Visual Studio. Rider includes parts of ReSharper.

The preview is not for a new product. It's a preview of a new version of CLion, their existing C++ IDE.

They are unifying their two separate C++ engines, focusing on one code base.
I think the impact will be huge; it gives USCIS officer the green light when reviewing applications where there's a scientific/AI component involved.

> Some of us used to wrap php "errors" to convert them into exceptions.

Did exactly that back in the day, this comparison is flawed: PHP errors (and warnings, notices) by default went completely outside the flow of the program, and converting them to exceptions was a means of forcing developers to deck with them right away, sometimes at all.
isn't that kind of pointless? they are denying your claim because its their goal to reduce costs. any justification is just going to point to some made up excuse or insanely complicated internal policy designed for obfuscation. you could demand they publish those policies, but how are you going to guarantee that they are finite and parsable by humans? look a the text of voting referendums for an example, or cell phone contracts.

What's the advantage of more than 1080p on a 13-14" screen? Genuine question.

I have 4k for my desktop but that's a 27" monitor.

Wouldn't pushing 4k on a laptop reduce the battery life even more?
Dirigibles benefit from the square-cube law, so as long as you have a hangar large enough to build them, larger is overall better. There are probably some questions about those 3,000 titanium hubs, so it might not be trivial to make it bigger, but it feels more manageable to scale than an airplane.

ok great, so I should get to know why things get denied.

Maybe... they just can't deny without a reasonable alternative that your doctor agrees with? Like fine deny name brand prescription for generic.

The idea that your Doctor... who actually knows what is going on wants to do something and your Insurance can just say no is ridiculous.

If we are so worried about Doctors doing unnecessary things to get money from Insurance than lets tackle that also.

The benchmark link doesn't work for me. (Blame my adblocker??) The graphics in the article are interesting but don't include a way to identify which are Rust/Java/Go/Python. Maybe you're supposed to assume they come in the order given, but the x-axis is time... could definitely be clearer. (Also apparently not from the OP, just the cited article.)

This is my guess too. It's a very weird design decision, especially for a developer targeted laptop. I would probably be less unhappy with a 16 GB RAM chip soldered, but than an 8 GB one.
"few wantrapreneurs who were usually moonlighting"

Yes that's the potential downside. That's why I said "almost" who cant do their own thing. That difference is very slim.
Tallow and lard are definitely excellent alternatives - but yea I was suggesting seed oils like peanut, safflower, sunflower or canola/rapeseed. Rendered fats have a weird reputation as there were health crazes that demonized it in the past but it's like most other oils - use in moderation... it's excellent to keep on hand though as it really makes a difference in baking.

Despite being Turing complete[0], TypeScript itself is more like a linter with a special syntax than a complete programming language.

Its compiler can only transpile TypeScript into JavaScript code, and the language itself does not affect runtime behavior (with the exception of enums).

competition isn’t a waste. for a google kind of company it’s fine.

is it a waste when 20 companies compete in the open market for note taking apps, and 15 of them die completely?

google happens to be big enough to have an internal market, that’s all. your team isn't guaranteed to win. but your work output isn't considered a waste, unlike the open market. some of the ideas might survive in another shape. remember wave? and you move on to the next project. (promo considerations aside)

different people will of course internalize it differently. some bitterly.

I'm not referring to the plethora of chat apps. Those are wasteful and demonstrative of google's failings.

Intellij does a lot of smart stuff with their code - one thing I would like to see is "replace auto" but only on the visual overlay - much like they do with dynamic param types etc. That way you can visually see the type as you're working, but you can still just explicitly type "auto" if you wan.t
it's the nazi bar story. If you are lax in moderation at the beginning the problems compound because word spreads that you are lax. If you are strict from the beginning word spreads that you are strict and corruption finds a better niche.
The Mario movie didn’t even had a Disney plot.

I liked watching this movie for the good animation and how the franchise was nicely respected but it have barely anything more.
The ratios of different types of fats in oils (e.g., saturated vs unsaturated, mono- vs polyunsaturated, etc) do have different metabolic processes and effects, that's not any kind of new-agey or faux health stuff.

The level of impact of such things is definitely still actively studied, but some fats do generally seem worse for you to consume than others.

Now, anyone arguing eating a bottle of olive oil a week will cure your cancer is obviously full of it, but choosing different oils because of ratios of saturated fats and what not isn't entirely new-agey fluff.
Love the idea. Simple and beautiful.

As GPT is used in all text-related activities to give feedback to the writer, GPT-4V in the future will be applied to all websites, posters, book covers, graphs, plots, design of hardware devices, movies, computer games, etc.

I suspect that teams at Figma, Canva, Adobe, and others are already working on it.

It looks like GPT-4V is not just another model but a change in infrastructure, unlocking new possibilities and new "blue oceans." as any good new multi-modality.

It feels so great to live in the future.
Batteries are already viable paired with solar. You see solar power purchase agreements in the 1.5 to 2c / kWh range and you can directly use that energy around 1/2 the time. Recharging and discharging batteries isn’t 100% efficient but it’s close.

Current numbers are lower, but in 2022 you could use LFP for ~5,000 discharge cycles and pay ~480$/kWh of capacity or ~9.6 c/kWh. Inverters etc last longer than the batteries themselves so you can amortize those costs across multiple generations of batteries, therefore it’s not quite upfront costs / number of discharge cycles, but it’s also not that far off of it. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/85332.pdf

Still roughly 2c/kWh * 105% + 9.6 c/kWh * 50% ~= 6.9c/kWh averaged over a day.

Currently batteries are discharged at peak demand, but the underlying economics scales just fine even if you double the number of solar panels for redundancy and aren’t being paid a premium. Further at scale demand that shifted to cheaper nighttime rates will instead shift to cheaper daytime rates.
This is so pointless, they pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and then they release it back into the atmosphere. They use it to cure concrete the production of which released a comparable amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and which would otherwise just absorb about the same amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during curing.
Luxury brands can price the tax for failure to meet CAFE standards into their sticker; an extra thousand isn’t going to make or break an E class sale, but it’s going to matter for a Malibu wagon.
Probably not something Peter can answer.. but I'm from northern europe and yes, I'm happy here and would never want to go back.
> And this is a loss, because we need non-variable energy sources to augment wind/solar/tidal.

We need dispatchable energy to complement renewables. Nuclear is on the complete opposite side of the dispatchability equation with high CAPEX and low OPEX.

Like the cancellation exemplifies, even running at 100% nuclear is wholly uncompetitive. Being dispatchable means vastly lowering the utilization rate.
Not so much. I’ve been a manager for over 10 years and I can tell you people vary greatly in how much validation and attention they need from their manager. If you hire the right 10 people you can have uninterrupted stretches of time to do deep work yourself. If you hire the “wrong” 10 people then you can’t (were wrong is in quotation marks because they may not be the wrong hires under other circumstances).
The last John Wick movie had a scene that wonderfully leveraged the cinematography of Hotline Miami (of all things!).

It can be done, it just has to be tasteful. In writing anything, never give the audience what they expect. It's lame and boring.
This looks like a fantastic upgrade. Here's a info dump of all the differences between this and the LCD one that I could find:

64 and 512GB LED models are dead

Wi-Fi 6E

10Whr more battery

it's a larger display. 7.4" vs 7"

6nm APU vs 7nm

256GB LCD now $399 (INSANE price)

30-50% more battery

screen resolution is the same

just OLED + HDR

1000 nits peak/600 typical vs 400 typical

90hz refresh rate

"high performance touch"

dual ambient light sensors

640 grams vs 669 grams

deck dock now $20 less

limited edition color way available too
Definitely one of the most evil people alive today. Thiel is the poster child for why extreme life extension research is unethical.
Thank you!

Currently it's about:

* Rendering the screenshot (urlbox): $0.02

* GPT-4V 1K input tokens = $0.01

* GPT-4V 1K output tokens = $0.03

* GPT-4V Vision pricing (per image size): $0.008

Total: 6.8 cents per a single audit

May not seem like much, but I see a lot of traffic coming from HN, so say 10K people use it, it'll cost $680...
Really get behind the IEP program and start to review and approve good faith solid applications (those that are likely to generate jobs).

I looked it up as 16k doesn’t sound that much when my 43 inch is 4K. However the sphere seems to impress universally, so it’s clearly not just the pixel count.
Of course - i'll add, if someone has an rpi4 around and wants to try it, i'm happy to work with them to fix wpa-3 if this doesn't do it.

I just don't have one to test with.

DeGatchi's Life Plan
The ship doesn’t need to touch the ground, but you need to attach it firmly (because as soon as you unload a ton, that ship wants to jump up by about a ton). You can mitigate some of that with helium pumps and pointing the engines up and down, but a firm cabling would be necessary. In a pinch, I assume you can drop the necessary equipment to attach cables from the ship itself (it will still jolt when you do that).
Or you could use a 3rd party error package that’s not a good excuse because the standard don’t have it as a priority
What's wrong with ASP.NET? (MVC, not the travesty that is WebForms)
I always felt like we could mathematically define stories but I wasn’t sure how until I learned about Chaos Theory. There are some stories that seem to be very simple geometric, discrete shapes, but I think if you look at any story you’ll find a level of noise and chaos in there somewhere. The more a story approaches real life, the more chaotic it gets. I think Cassavetes is a great example of this.
Recently I’ve been thinking about narrative in terms of lossy compression, which can then be connected to our everyday perception, which uses compression to understand reality since we can’t ingest all the information we receive. Narratives differ in how much detail they delete, which then makes each narrative a compression algorithm. Movies with more detail like Cassavetes or the Italian Neorealists are usually considered “artsy” while movies with very little detail are considered “trashy.” This realization helped me talk about movies without prejudice.
