> While I got a tremendous amount more intellectual satisfaction by going for an electrical engineering degree instead of a CS

I find this interesting. Did you end up getting a CS degree and then compare the intellectual satisfaction?

I found CS fascinating. Of course you get to choose your own path through CS and could possibly avoid most of the major breakthroughs, but to do it in earnest is revelatory. There is Godel’s Incompleteness restated/rediscovered through computation; the church-Turing thesis, Curry-Howard correspondence, graph theory, etc. I never did EE, but I did some math in my past and CS felt closer to pure math than anything else I’ve studied.
> I'm also unsure why you think whichever human is "replacing" Woz in this hypothetical is going to up the level of diversity.

Also, if we're positing indefinite limits to the number of humans, then an immortal wouldn't be replacing one person, but the whole series of persons their extended life is taking the place of (and would be altering all lineages descended from those persons).
Just like "software" is a huge field with a wide variety of technologies, payscales, opportunities, and niches, so it is hardware.

You wouldn't expect someone writing about the opportunities and lessons from the JavaScript/CSS frontend world to have a huge amount of insight into the work and opportunities of firmware developers.

So it is with hardware, and personally it frustrates me when software people think they can generalize about the "hardware" space because they printed a 4 layer with JLCPCB and now they know the "hardware" world and its ins and outs.

This post is about PCB design and fabrication. The equivalent would be if a hardware person spent a day banging their head against Azure Continuous Integration workflows and wrote a post entitled, "Lessons learned by a hardware guy venturing into software".
If enough people didn't buy tickets, then the airlines would have to reduce capacity on the routes, and that would reduce emissions.

There is open wildlife trade on the Sunday market near my place. Birds, monkeys, lizards, snakes, sugar gliders, and some unknown to me "things".

I'm going to put in a very relevant self-plug for the tool that I work on.

I work at Replay.io, and we're building a true "time traveling debugger" for JS. Our app is meant to help simplify debugging scenarios by making it easy to record, reproduce and investigate your code.

The basic idea of Replay: Use our fork of Firefox or Chrome to make a recording of your app, load the recording in our debugger UI, and you can pause at _any_ point in the recording. In fact, you can add print statements to any line of code, and it will show you what it _would_ have printed _every time that line of code ran_!

From there, you can jump to any of those print statement hits, and do typical step debugging and inspection of variables. So, it's the best of both worlds - you can use print statements and step debugging, together, at any point in time in the recording. It also lets you inspect the DOM and the React component tree at any point as well.

I honestly wish I'd had Replay available much earlier in my career. I can think of quite a few bugs that I spent hours on that would have been _much_ easier to solve with a Replay recording. And as an OSS maintainer for Redux, there's been a number of bugs that I was _only_ able to solve myself in the last year because I was able to make a recording of a repro and investigate it further (like a tough subscription timing issue in RTK Query, or a transpilation issue in the RTK listener middleware).

If anyone would like to try it out, see https://replay.io/record-bugs for the getting started steps to use Replay (although FYI we're in the middle of a transition from Firefox to Chromium as our primary recording browser fork).

I also did a "Learn with Jason" episode where we talked about debugging concepts in general, looked at browser devtools UI features specifically, and then did an example of recording and debugging with Replay: https://www.learnwithjason.dev/travel-through-time-to-debug-...

Apple does it in the app store. At least for me, search for any app by name, the top 1 or 2 results is never the app who's name I typed in exactly.

Just searched for "Netflix". First result is some app called "Chewy" (with [ad]) next to it. Search for "GitHub". First result is some app called "ServerCat". Search for "Grand Theft Auto". First result is some app call "One State RP". Search for "23andMe". First result is for "BodyFast: ..."

There’s built in support for this
Cars are a long way from achieving Artificial General Horsiness (AGH). There are many things a horse can do vastly better than a car, such as jumping over fences, navigating by itself, swimming through water, fueling themselves from naturally occurring vegetation, and providing social companionship.

And yet cars have managed to replace horses for pretty much all tasks that people previously used horses for. This is because it turned out that, while cars can’t do everything horses can do, their speed and cost advantages were big enough that it was worth adapting the rest of the world (e.g. building roads and gas stations) to compensate for their limitations.

There may be lessons here for how we should expect AI to replace human labor.
Okay I was wrong about that I was also wrong about the quarterly part the numbers were not per quarter but per year. Again back of the napkin and I’m glad to have people point out the flaws in my argument.
What they say. From outside it may be 40 but on inside still 30.
imo a pretty good approach is tombstones where you delete trailing tombstones. that way the tombstones can't overly clog the dictionary but never have to move live objects
Echidnas are known to essentially everyone in Australia. I would say most bushwalkers I know have seen them before as they are not difficult to find. It surprises me that they are not so well known outside Australia.
I don't like the extra lines, but also I almost never care if "one" is exactly lined up with "two". You can use proportional fonts with the first example too.
Yes, no longer than about a year ago (yes I know copilot is older but not literally everyone was talking about this before gpt), code generation was compilation (or transpilation which some people say if it’s x->js) or some type of template/model driven generation where you input a formal(sdl etc) spec and code gets generated. Seems now every post about code generation is about AI. It would be good if the latter would read some materials from the former, as this field is quite old and, imho, interesting. More interesting than coercing gpt into doing something better, it won’t be consistent anyway.
Python also has dicts.
I recommend the above link because it gets even weirder than you might surmise from the parent's comment.
Clickbait trash for outraged gullible people.

A few trades out of decades of trading records is likely just a mistake. If Buffett wanted to front Berkshire trades, he would’ve done that many times and no one would have stopped him.

Shame on clickbait journalists like this..

I’ve seen it both ways. For larger parties most places near me charge upfront. For couples or parties up to 4 the charge hits 48 hours before your reservation or whatever the cutoff happens to be. In one case, I did have to get the bill adjusted because the restaurant forgot the credit our deposit. I think it was an honest mistake since we’ve never had a problem there in half a dozen other visits and it’s only for parties over 8 that they charge the deposit. Seeing as the whole place only seats about 40, they don’t get many large parties.

This is a really cool approach! But if it so obvious, why doesn't every hashmap use it? It seems like there are some trade-offs here that I must be missing.
That's very common with one or two specific demographic, but not all that common with most others. I'll refrain from naming them, but it's widely known i suppose.
easier monetary policy makes the economy run hotter and probably reduces income inequality.

easier monetary policy creates bubbly valuations and probably increases wealth inequality.

but inflation is complicated. a decent number of not-that-rich people are 80+% levered and see debts evaporate, and not that many really rich people are that levered. on the other hand a decent number of not-that-rich people have fixed-income type assets and receivables, pensions etc., rich people tend to have more equity. unexpected inflation increases the risk premium and term premium and tends to reduce real asset values. things like startups and risk equities and long bonds are a bet on a distant future and people don't like to take those big risks when financial conditions are in turmoil. inflation might increase wealth inequality because there are big winners and losers but it might penalize capital so much that it might reduce overall inequality. in a way inflation negates easy monetary policy by canceling its real boost and making it only illusory nominal growth, and plants the seed for higher interest rates and risk premia. big inflationary surprise years like 73-74 and 78-79 were big interest rate surprise years and pretty catastrophic for stocks. capital kind of hates inflation so it's probably not that great for capital. there's also the taxation issue, a lot of inflation gets recognized as income when it's just nominal and not real gains.
The question mentions this in the very second line? “Of course this isn't always possible, for example if the window came over a TCP connection.” The link is to the question and answer, not to just the title.

you just need something you can compile them with

Either of these can get you pretty far for a while.
There are financial consequences for healthcare data leaking (actual monetary fines) and some consequences for payment data leaking (primarily in the form of higher rates) but there's no significant penalties for leaking SSNs. So every adult feels like they get their data leaked on an annual basis and only get free credit monitoring. I think adding penalties for SSNs leaking would help.

Admittedly there are some macro effects that are causing security to be taken more seriously by companies in general. The proliferation of compliance programs especially SOC2 had made basic security the default for a large portion of b2b tech companies. Cyber insurance requirements are increasing. Newer state regulations and SEC regulations have pushed other companies to increase resources dedicated to security.

That said this is an uphill battle after a decade or so of companies having no security with passwords or SSNs in plaintext and everyone having access permissions.

This was back in 1997, so my memory is a little hazy, but I remember it being about 6ft x 6ft x 6ft. It was a bunch of cardboard shipping boxes with clear wrap around them. I think I was paying £10,000 per pallet. He told me he would just skip scanning a pallet at the docks as they were loaded into his trailer, and then his mate would meet him at a roadside services on the motorway with a van and they would somehow move the pallet off the semi into the van.

Sometimes I would hit the jackpot and get dozens of the really expensive bears. I sold 800 bears once for $250,000 in cash to a guy who flew into the UK from Chicago.

The truck driver found me. He must have seen one of my adverts in the press or maybe someone he knew came to one of my Beanie Baby fairs, or heard one of my adverts on the radio. He lived in this crazy council town near me in Bristol where every house appeared to be of government construction, even the church. I remember sitting in his living room one day and there was a literally constant stream of little kids coming through his front door emptying bags of shoplifted merch onto his floor, and he would pick through and buy a couple of things and then they would go to the next house.
Kind of surprised things aren't blowing up more often. Stress and rushing I would think leads to cutting corners and just mistakes in general

I'm curious why it is so hard for them to deploy the compute. They seem to be fairly behind schedule.
What about distributing the space amount more that one letter, and ensuring no two of the same letter are ever different. You'd allow things to get out of sync and not be on a perfect grid, so long as you could align everything at key points where a line has the same character on two successive lines, or some other case where you know you need alignment.

Everything else would just look like a proportional font.

Maybe it would influence coders too much and subconsciously make them choose names that line up well though...
Not a bad comparison and actually perhaps with the same short term outcome; feels like it can drive itself but cannot and won’t get there this generation.
Interesting to see Playdate video decoder in there
I've used it with Forza, Ride, and some emulated games and it's been great for me.
Yes, at least in magnitude of what it would contribute. Whether humans are willing to give out the award is a different question.
I do think that it is within reach to create a human quality chatbot assistant for a given narrow domain. For example, if OpenAI focused all of its energies on creating a good chatbot for a particular problem domain at a particular company I believe it could be achieved. Of course, casual / amateur efforts leveraging ChatGPT / OpenAI APIs to achieve the same thing seem unlikely to produce good results today.
Yes, Microsoft, bless them, sent me another out right away. I don't think anyone followed up with DHL. I went back in the DHL office after I found the piece of paper and showed them and we all had a good laugh, but I think they told me to just call Microsoft to sort it out.

To be honest, this might be one they’d be justified in not wanting you to know. Crazy indeed. Chromium-only, I presume.
This is such an utterly insane position that I find myself doubting that you are being honest here. It suggests you don't actually care at all about the wellbeing of your children, and only about your family's status.

Imagine a scenario where you could banish your children to a hellish, poverty-stricken existence -- but their peers would be even worse off than that. Alternatively, you could give your children a happy, comfortable life, but all of their peers would be equal to them.

Are you seriously suggesting that you would choose the first option, not the second one?
There is no reality where that 8gig heap machine will outperform a 64gig heap machine in any objective measure. I'm sure you will hedge with your statement with something like "well it feeels faster" or some such nonsense.
From my experience in constructuion, I think it's because the people who are liable for these embarassments are not those who are funding it. Elon Musk('s company, that he gets final say on) is free to fire any third-party that doesn't follow his orders. The third-party that bends the knee and does something unsafe is putting their management at risk of legal danger in order to keep a well-paying client.

In construction, so I hear, it's often "feast or famine". You can make a lot of money working these jobs compared to standard fare. They have lots of overtime available and may have a higher pay rate or bonuses. I feel confident in saying that Elon Musk (or his company) is handsomely rewarding all the people doing this work.

I'm very serious about this being an embarassment. Taking the high road and not putting one's self in these dangerous work environments may not actually be that much trouble. The problem is that SpaceX is where the good money is at and some short-term risk may be seen as worth it.

Having an average of 66 injuries per year on average for the last 9 years is also less informative than I'd like. How many were serious? How many had full recoveries? This number doesn't include near-misses which should also be tracked.

Safety rules are said to be written in blood because more rules are made when someone dies. So ignoring those rules is asking for great risk. The people who are doing the work and putting themselves at risk also know this. That's why this poor behavior reflects badly on both parties.
Because the prospective employees want to live in the US and the current legal climate allows that. Since you can't up and move to the US (from most countries) without a sponsor, the employment is the arrangement that allows this.

Because people are not automatons, there are often situations where a company has offices in, say, New York and Zurich, and some employees in the New York office moved from Zurich and some employees in the Zurich office moved from New York.
Good question. By the way, Germans and French people at least do use 12hr time, but only colloquially.

When talking to someone, you’d say things like (literally translated, obviously) “let’s meet at five”, or “I saw them at around 5 in the afternoon”.

Using 24h time when speaking is common as well, but tends to emphasize formal time or preciseness. Something like “they are open until 18:30”, “the movie starts at 20:45”, or generally if there’s not enough context or a risk of getting it wrong.

So conversely 12h time can also carry a subtext or impreciseness, e.g. if I say “see you at five”, then often it’s around five, but if I say “see you at 17 o’clock”, I more likely mean 17:00 sharp.

Markers like “AM/PM” don’t exist, at all. When using 12h time, it’s either clear from context, or you add something like “in the morning”.

In written form, 12h is rather uncommon, unless speaking colloquially again (e.g. texting with friends; not with businesses or clients, as that carries too much risk of ambiguousness and sounds too informal).
Please stop diluting words like objectively for things that you just feel strongly about.

I’ve seen non-technical people ask the strangest questions that really don’t have a problem they are trying to solve or brainstorm. They think it’s just a game or fun joke tool and want to try and get it to say something silly.

The technical people who reject it are quite curious psychologically, my personal suspicion is they are threatened by it. They get hung up on small hallucinations and then almost get giddy when it produces something “wrong” in some way. I don’t understand why they fail to understand it’s crazy importance, I mean it’s read everything and without an agenda other that the material it was feed, no twisted incentives. They things I’ve had it do with me are mind blowing, my guess is the people who understand it and how to leverage it will increase their own productivity so much that it will reshape economies and put many people out of work that don’t learn how to use it.

Definitely the most revolutionary development of my life, as I approach 50 and have been coding since 12, and believe it or not but working professionally coding since I was 19. Internet and iphone have nothing on this development with LLMs.

If Starship meets its reusability goals it's going to be absolutely nuts. Flying to orbit and back multiple times in a day like an airliner or something, carrying more than the entire habitable volume of ISS every time. It's impossible to overstate how much that would change access to space, and how much of an advantage it would give SpaceX over its competitors (even other nations).

Kaan, in Portland, won a bunch of restaurant of the year awards and became overwhelmed with out of towners trying to book the place up. The owners recognized that to stay open long term, once the hype dies down, they need locals able to get in the door too. They have started experimenting with crossovers where if you buy a lunch at a neighboring business on a certain day, you can jump the line for reservations at Kaan a month or two later. They also played with people who dine at their bar can get restaurant bookings early. It’s only been a couple of months but they’ve seen success in filling the in demand seats with a mix of locals and big spenders from out of town.

That's not the part that's different. The part where I feel we perhaps differ is rather than being "premium mediocre" I think that openAI is really excellent where the problem space is very broad or is poorly specified. Then we both agree there are better choices where it is narrow and well specified.
