This feels like it could have been a classic Silicon Valley scene but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it was designed at Google's secret Castro office.

I have a sinking feeling under some further investigation that it may be! I am pretty sure that I've heard it in a few places, one of which being the Disney movie Up.

I'm not sure how to describe it, it is a sensorially very unique and pleasant experience for me hearing it.

Here's one example, starting roughly around 7-8 seconds or so: https://youtu.be/ah7I6jr-gKQ?feature=shared

I listened to some older zeppelin/dirigible recordings based on your comment and they seem to make a rather nice, but also not as-euphoric fan whine. Noooooo, that is quite disappointing!

I think there's one game that had an extremely highly punctuated, very clockwork-like soundtrack in one of its worlds that used the dirigible-whip sound as a base layer for one of its themes whenever you were in that part of the world. I'll see if I can find it.

Curious that it shows up in a few places, there _has_ to be able origin for why people who are designers associate it with airships. It likely wouldn't just occur by chance....

You are missing 90% of the app. These are LIVE filters they are talking about. Not a post-processing photo effect.

Don't select a photo from your phone - that brings up the boring old-school photo editor mode.

You want to start a new post by clicking the "+" at the bottom and then swipe to the left or click on "Story" or "Live".

This gives you the advanced AI filters with live preview. They are created and distributed by third parties through a gallery/store like interface.

These are the type that say add dog ears to your head. Or detect when your mouth is open and makes a scary effect. Or can give you perfect skin and AI-upgrade you or turn you into an anime character.

After about 2 years my battery also lost a lot of it's charge-retention, but I replaced it and got back up to the >11 hours I was seeing before
Very happy user of a System76 Lemur Pro laptop (i7, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD) for the past year, FWIW. I'm running stock Debian on it, not System76's Pop!_OS.

I get the kind of battery life the review mentions if I put the laptop into "Power Saver" mode. In "Balanced" or especially in "Performance" mode the battery doesn't last as long, of course. So when I can't be plugged in, I put it into Power Saver mode (this is super easy via the Gnome upper-right settings popup panel; I assume it would be just as easy in other window managers).

I got great customer service from System76 when I ran into a hitch at the start of my Debian installation process (TL;DR: see Debian bugs #1024346 and #1024720 -- the file ".disk/info" existed on the pre-installed Pop!_OS partition; getting rid of that enabled the installation to continue). System76 support went above and beyond the call of duty in tracking this down and solving it, considering that I was installing an OS that wasn't even officially supported by them.

Happy customer; would buy again; I get no commission for any of this -- I just want to see the company flourish so they're still there when it's time for me to upgrade my laptop!
Turns out social networks are hard to get right.
History has shown that it's a graceful balancing of carrot and stick that works the best with intelligent biological organisms. The field of psychology generally corroborates this, I think.
Then you have built your program incorrectly and not caught the error in a place where you still have context (e. g. `YourProgramException` sub-type that indicates a recoverable error or `Exception` in the case that you're building something where it doesn't matter what the error is, just that an error occurred).

This can also be done with error passing, and is a design failure there too:

_, ex = perform_batch_operation(on: list_of_data)
if ex:
# Oh no, we don't know which entry in the list failed
# and can't update the appropriate row
# (This, of course, should be handled in
# perform_batch_operation, not bubbled up here)

> a more fitting defition of 'better' for the human condition is the amount of happiness

So, instead of measuring the objective/empirical things that:

1. Keep people alive
2. Keep them from going hungry
3. Make them healthy and pain-free
4. Keep them warm (or cool, where appropriate)
5. Etc etc etc

You instead are suggesting that we measure some subjective mood that no one can define well, test for, or detect with instrumentation? That would be the better measure?

> Depression and sucidides in first world countries, the ones that tick all the intial boxes, are a highs

I would not argue that these are insignificant, but there are methodological problems with both.

Suicide may have been traditionally undercounted for religious reasons. If you're investigating a suicide in the 1950s, it might just have been a gun-cleaning accident instead. Saves the family grief, means the deceased can be buried in the cemetery the family wants, etc.

Depression, while real, might still be subject to the sort of contagious hypochondriac panics that describe the late 20th century and early 21st so well.

Or, alternatively... it might have been undercounted until recently. We're not seeing an increase so much as that people are merely aware of it.
...you know that organized criminals kill people, right?
> A-OK until there was "actual injury", and even then, it is only the injury that would be wrong?

Hah! No, they argue that the injury is right.

For example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/sikh-nijjar-india-canada-tr...

After the diplomat assassination kerfuffle, it appears that Canada invoked a communications backdoor for national security purposes. It's hard to feel bad for the dimwitted killers who plotted the entire thing on a smartphone, but it's also a statement about how widespread and de-facto surveillance is today. Even when backdoors surface, we shrug them off.

So... yeah. Until there is actual injury, and the injury isn't someone who people don't like and also don't care about. Then it will be a problem, and God help us all then.
Not necessarily advocating for unidiomatic python/code, but you could use a decorator to automatically wrap the function call with a try-catch and package the return value appropriately. Lot less mangling of function bodies that way, just return and raise exceptions like normal. You *could* specify the expected Exception type, but considering the rest of the ecosystem probably won’t be following along with documenting expected exceptions, I assume it wouldn’t be worth it and would be more straightforward that all the exception types in the signatures be the plain vanilla Exception. Would also be super inefficient pre-3.11 but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s what the Python stack traceback is for. It works pretty well, I prefer it over JS.
Humane's AI Pin promises an 'ambient computing' future
Chiming in with my customer support experience: My battery started to inflate after a bit over a year. I did some research and knew their warranty didn't cover this, but I contacted support anyway for help with finding a replacement.

They weren't able to ship me a replacement battery due to international shipping restrictions but were very helpful by giving me the part number to look for and linking to their very good docs on how to do a battery replacement yourself.
In the end I was able to have them ship a replacement battery to a friend with a US address, and doing the actual replacement was very easy.
If you carried on this story though, without any conflict (note: I agree with sibling comment that there is actually implicit conflict between actual vs expectations), wouldn’t it be incredibly boring or lead to a “so why are you retelling this?” response?

> notoriously combative CEO

Understatement of the year. Dolan successfully destroyed 2 major sports franchises (Knicks and Rangers) he spent millions on acquiring and managing.

He is also using facial recognition to ban all employees of law firms suing MSG (his company) from going to any of their properties, and NY State is considering pulling his liquor license as a result.

The only reason he's solvent is because the Madison Square Garden is basically el dorado (financially speaking) and he inherited a bunch of money from his father (the founder of HBO and Cablevision)

Imagine if GOB Bluth became CEO. That's Dolan.
Exceptions are a very useful tool. In your example, the main program logic is buried in error handling which makes it more difficult to read the code and the code becomes more complex, leading to more bugs. In many cases, it's preferable to have a single error handler centralized in one place, out of line of the main logic. This makes the code more readable, reduces complexity and duplication.

Their demo of AI Q&A in the announcement video (@3:36) is totally wrong. The Pin says the April 2024 total eclipse will be best viewed from Australia and East-Timor...

This was my confusion seeing the headline, there is no way the people building this did not realize that this was an "investment" and would take time to make money?!?

Even once it's built you have some logistical things to figure out to start making profit day by day before taking into account the investment.

The real story is apparently the asshole CEO, not the loss.

They did an excellent job. The small delays are close to impossible to avoid at this point. Although I may have seen one or two demos that managed to avoid them for conversation only. But those systems could not take any actions.
If you're replacing types in this manner you don't scrutinize the usages. You design (or choose) the new type such that it actually is compatible with the old type. For example std::vector and std::list can be replaced with each other, because they either have the same functions with analogous behavior, or you get compiler errors if you use any of the non-overlapping functions. What you can't do is replace an std::vector with a class whose clear() fills the container with default-constructed instances of the objects.

In other words, you concentrate your review on the original and new type, instead of the usages.

glad to share. it's such a fun topic!

I just thought of this conversation when I saw this video this morning!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei1RJ19IriU

it runs through a variety of Sega Model 2 arcade system games. theoretically there were about a dozen "Model 2" games.

buuuuut, as the video details, the "Model 2" moniker refers to an entire generation of Sega arcade boards and there were significant hardware upgrades and new chips added throughout the lifetime of Model 2. with the result actually being something close to bespoke per-game hardware.

also there's this hilarious (to me at least, from an engineering perspective) look at the extremely unique Popeye arcade hardware, with three different graphics chips each drawing different layers on the screen. that was some bespoke-ass hardware

For the humanitarian use case, how quickly could an airship landing zone be established? I assume it's more than a helipad (empty dirt field) but far less than a runway (FOD-free, long, flat, straight, paved).

I wonder if the airship could deliver it's own LZ kit in a delicate touch-and-go slash hover.

The article briefly mentions repurposing yachts and that made me think of hospital ships. I wonder if you could reconfigure the internal space as a go-anywhere hospital (or at least, a set of operating rooms) or if it just makes more sense to deploy a standard field hospital with tents.
For the most part, even if bumpy and burdensome, I think the immigration system works well (or well enough) for stars (or certain types of stars). But I don't think it works well for many others, such as talented engineers, for example, who don't meet the star definition, and for the companies that want to employ them. This was one of the purposes of the H-1B program - to allow for the employment of talented professionals - but that program seems broken because of the massive demand and the limited supply.
> having a LinkedIn profile is a necessity if you plan to do business or get hired.

I disagree with this. I've had LinkedIn for as long as I can remember and have only received one short-term contract on there. Indeed has been a million times better for me (for contracts and full-time positions).

Edit: I just finished the article. First, you're coming off terribly aggressive and threatening in some of your emails. Not a good look. If you did that to me, I for sure wouldn't help you - in fact, it would make me not want to help you.

Second, it's a single platform out of many. Your life isn't over because you got banned on a website. And obviously, don't rely on any single platform for any business you're working on. That's foolish.

It should be obvious to everyone, not just 'some lawyer' that the former is more of a barrier than the latter. There's also the concept of overt acts in many statutes - lying to a website by clicking a button that says "I'm over 18" when you're not demonstrates that you read the disclaimer and disregarded it, where you can plausibly claim you never saw the copy when it's just legalese on the bottom of the page.

What were Einstein’s or Newton’s stick?
yeah, this guy gets it. idiomatic-ness is based on p̵o̵p̵u̵l̵a̵r̵i̵t̵y̵ consensus and only indirectly by technical merit. if someone throws shade at code for being nonpythonic, the code probably isn't bad. if it was they'd have focused on that first.

on the other hand, if someone's writing non-pythonic python because pythonic code doesn't work well for their program, it might be a program they shouldn't be writing in python, which in my experience happens way more often than it should.
I’ve tried them all (nearly ;) ) and I always miss Visual Studio after a while. With Clang Powertools I’m the fastest with it than anything else so I’m always surprised how little love it gets on here. Maybe because fewer devs have Windows these days.
This tracks with what I've heard from other friends & colleagues; one data point could be an anecdote but seeing/hearing similar stories multiple times over the past decade+ creates a trend.

Google Product Management is almost meme-level bad, and is carried + boosted by such great talent in virtually 95% of other departments at the company.

It would be difficult for them to be more poorly positioned in the market. They don't own their network, are leaning on powerful incumbent players for the base of their tech stack, and are entering a market where any one of a number of existing global brands are poised to crush them the second the concept shows the first sign of gaining traction in the market. Not sure if this is a naked attempt to grift early adopters, dumb money, or an acquisition play. Hamhanded in any case.
