Honestly it sounds like you just need to actually lead. Don't make proposals to the team, that is for management, you make the decision and you make it happen. It isn't a democracy. Now that doesn't mean you ignore concerns and feedback, but it does mean they need to get in line with the direction the business and team are going.

For example. Make code reviews mandatory and lock down branches. No PR? Then the code doesn't get merged. Part of PR checking is test coverage and has to pass. Remove direct access to servers and environments and make deployments go though CI. Every PR must be tied to an issue.

Don't leave it up to them. Make it happen.
This is the way. I recently got an oil change, and at the end I was prompted to tip with the default 20%. I changed it to zero - the person doing the work is certainly being paid market rates and well above minimum wage (even now, why do I feel the need to explain myself?!) and I’ll never go back to this chain.

I play a lot of games where you need the wiki, so I use it regularly.

Using batteries for seasonal storage is crazy. E-fuels like hydrogen would be much more economical for that storage use case.
As you get older your arteries gradually narrow, a process made even more severe by the buildups of plaque. This is all accelerated by obesity, lack of exercise, and so on. Aging, high blood pressure, and various other factors also causes arteries to weaken, making a rupture even more likely.

All of this is part of the reason I think the 'search for the pill/shot of immortality' in modern times is little different than the search for the pool of immortality in ancient times. Everything breaks down over time and so to solve this, we'd need to fix everything, when we yet struggle to truly fix even a single thing.
Exactly. The people who say nuclear is needed to complement renewables are just not thinking it through.

> I don't really see the evidence that the 'odd' startups are more likely to succeed

Successful startups are ipso facto odd. It's not unreasonable to assume that that's correlated with doing odd things.

> it doesn't obviously lend itself to the strategy of 'do something odd intentionally to increase your chances of success'

I'd say it fairly naturally suggests that in a startup you should be pursuing high-variance strategies i.e. taking risks (indeed I'd say that's already accepted wisdom for startups). Following through on your contrarian thoughts more often than you would in a more established company makes sense.
Apple's Fiscal 2023 in Charts
Different definitions of the word good here. Someone who values “plucky” art is making a moral judgement in the same way someone who thinks it should be destroyed, preserved, created, or …

It’s defining something as positive or negative which makes this a moral judgement not the specific value assigned.

I use positive/negative here because someone may believe there’s an incorrect solution to a math problem without judging such errors in terms of morality.

Tmax and Delta 100 have 150 lines per millimeter, and it's even way higher for certain specialty films like Adox CMS 20 with 250 lines. Though you probably need a drum scanner to resolve to that level. For general use, a high quality scanner at 22 mp is about enough. Thats with 35mm though. You get much much higher resolution with 120 film and larger

No, it's not enough. One of the most important features missing is that kernel developers will want the equivalent of `git range-diff` (i.e. the ability to compare two versions of a single commit which was submitted as part of a batch of commits) in the UX for code review purposes. The lack of this feature makes the entire thing a non-starter, both Github and Gitlab. That said, they have accepted some PRs on GitHub at the past at one point as an experiment IIRC. But no, the current features they want are not there.

The only real practical alternative is probably something like Gerrit, which still probably is missing features they want, or to write their own patch review tool on top of lore.lkml.org and some other infra.

I find this attitude kind of depressing. When I was in CS undergrad I thought about going into security because it seemed like this thing where you needed a bunch of systems background. To understand some exploits e.g. [0] you'd need hardware-related knowledge like branch prediction and memory hierarchy. Or something like stack smashing you'd need to know the process memory model and maybe some assembly

It seems to me like security is split into two camps: the people who are out there in the wild who find exploits and the "bootcamp" crowd

Ok, then it would make sense to have ONE datatype that fits a register. But it would make more sense that the other types (char, short, long) are a known and fixed size. Otherwise, what's the use case for short? "I need something that's smaller than a register, but I don't care what range it can store?"

As the person who proposed this feature - among lots of other ones for async Rust, like run-to-completion async functions (https://github.com/Matthias247/rfcs/blob/e7fd7042f8069e9126e...), structured concurrency, cancellation tokens, etc) - I can unfortunately share this sentiment. It seemed really hard to land anything in async Rust since the priorities don't seem overly clear. Therefore I put a pause on all contribution attempts and went back to just using Rust as a user.
Epoch, why?
Probably.

It's a terrible analogy, as carnivals put themselves out there as places that parents can bring kids to enjoy themselves. In general websites are not representing themselves as places to drop off your kids.

A better analogy involves things that are generally intended for adult purposes, as the Internet is. You certainly can operate a business selling construction tools, and generally not be sued when someone lets their kid use one and the kid gets injured. Even if you have knowledge that some customers will buy tools for use by their under age kids, or that they will leave tools accessible to kids, while you're merely assuming that they're supplying appropriate supervision and control.

The fundamental problem with this liability argument that has been put forth is it's based on responsibility laundering. Kids can't judge or consent, yet the argument quietly asserts it's reasonable for their caretakers to be absent in supplying appropriate judgement and supervision as they're interacting with the larger world. The resulting conclusion is that it is everyone else's responsibility to only ever act in ways that will protect those unrestrained kids. The direct implication is that everything accessible on the Internet must be made safe for kids, which is directly opposed to having free and open communications for adults.
This is absolutely true and has been for years. You’re granted access to the minimum number of buildings required for your job function, and can file a ticket for temporary access grants to other buildings based on need.

I work at Google and just today I had a conversation with a director that made me realize even he cannot force anything that doesn’t make “promo” happen: the culture is rotten to the core in terms of incentives.

Indeed! Think of all the old men on their death beds reminiscing with regret, 'I sure wish I spent less of my life doing the things I love.'

The obsession with productivity is weird. The entire point of earning money is to be able do the things you love. The biggest reasonable concern I can see in life is people spending immense amounts of times doing things they don't really enjoy, but somehow feel compelled towards nonetheless - like social media. I've put something like 2000 hours into Crusader Kings 2, and if I knew beforehand what I was getting into, I'd still do it again every single time. Just such an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

GPU advancements in M3 and A17 Pro [video]
"The Biden administration’s chip export controls, which restricted China’s access to the most advanced GPU chips, were an initial attempt to ensure U.S. AI supremacy and reduce the risk of foreign threats. But with U.S. cloud companies offering these chips for rent, there’s an obvious loophole – foreign governments could train their models on cutting-edge GPUs within the U.S. using friendly corporations as proxies. By forcing these cloud companies to enact strong KYC standards, the U.S. will make it harder for such attempts to be successful."

This is a great point, and any requirements must also extend to these new upstart GPU cluster companies, which in their rush to grow will probably be tempted to cut corners on compliance and look the other way when some sketchy / foreign sovereign entities come knocking.
Pretty fascinating stuff, with clear benefits to both sides.

It's always good when they can get an opportunity to try an approach in a "realistic" scenario to see how it turns out, rather than in a lab.

Some does come across as a bit of "let's see what happens" with the eye transplant. I don't see how what comes down to "taking this end and hooking it up to that end" could be expected to work. It's not like plugging an extension cord in, clearly. Some very small-scale structures have to line up exactly right, if its even something that can be done. But I am not in this field, so maybe it is.

It's amazing to me that people do this sort of thing as part of their career ... literally taking off a person's face, "underlying skull", and all the other stuff. Left to continue work on a sight that many wouldn't be able to even glance at during the procedure. It's surreal. Not a job for me, but it's good that there are others out there that are able to do it.
Sure, but using ideas for the examples that are in fact bad ideas would strengthen his argument.
emailing famous people or their handlers is kind of a hobby of mine.

over about a hundred emails i've received about 30 replies.

the surprising thing to me is that their level of 'fame' has little to do with whether or not they reply to me. I've received replies from some famously impressive people, and have been ignored by some real 'niche' ones.

I have a suspicion that there is a bit of a bi-modal distribution between 'small enough to reply to fans' and 'so big that there is a reply crew on-staff', most of my emails that were ignored were "Famous but not that famous" types of folks that are in the middle between the two.
At least here in Australia, Steam vouchers get sold in supermarkets and any one at any age can buy them. I'm not sure if those vouchers work on the Steam market but I'd assume they would (I've never seen anything in the Steam UI to suggest that deposited funds will only work in some places).

This was the poster child for conservative/regressive political forces in Australia. The leader of the Liberal Party (that's Economic Liberalism, but the opposite of social liberalism), Peter Dutton, has been talking up Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), as has Murdoch's "Sky News" (think Fox) and right-wing think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs (think "mouthpiece for mining billionaires").

The Liberal Party had government from 2013 to 2022, and there was nary a peep out of them about nuclear power. The fact of the matter is that it's not economic for Australia to build one of these, for $40 billion, with an estimated delivered cost per MWh of AU$130 (IIRC) when renewables already cost only about $30 per MWh and we have abundant sunshine and wind in Australia.

The essence of the right-wing plan is to latch on to a technology that will take a decade or two to come to fruition, to hold back the renewable tide, so that fossil fuel companies can continue to rake in the profits.

It's more than that, it's the cover-your-ass mentality that develops when every small part of your job is dictated by reams and reams of bureaucracy and policy. Building successful products requires direct communication with users and organizational tolerance for making mistakes. Government replaces direct communication with requirements documents, and tolerance with "accountability", lest taxpayer funds be "wasted".
I wouldn't have been able to build the startup I did starting in 2010 without AWS. Prior to that I had experience in data-centers, and hats off to the people who commoditized them.
The culture of any generation is defined by the generation before it, that's why Gen Xers are the most depressingly suburban and forgotten about generation, not the boomers, because while boomers love themselves more than anyone loves themselves, nobody glamorized boomerism more than Gen Xers, who grew up with more direct exposure than younger generations; they just didn't have the same numbers.

Likewise, most of our prominent entrepreneurs are all Gen X try-hards who found fortune because of the consumption patterns that millennials adopted and were in the right place at the right time to capitalize on it. Millennial consumption patterns of course having been heavily influenced by gen xers and boomers by proxy, the few that got that good job and kept it forever are quite happy to upgrade their iPhone every year, buy TVs and cars for no reason, and move to the boonies not realizing that Gen Xers mistakenly gave up their sense of community to follow in the boomers' footsteps; they'll borrow and pay anything possible for the privilege.

Anyway, I'm already working on my Gen X material.
Startups operating in Americas are founded in US. Rest of the world is different. For example, Lazada is huge in SEA and was created by Rocket Internet (DE).

In fact I see far more European and Asian companies operating globally nowadays, US startups are quite isolationist.
