So reviewing this more closely. This is a joke. What is reliability? I would say, that the car starts in the morning, that it gets you from point A to B, that it isn't in the shop. But that only appears to be half the equation here. While annoying is a panel gap or interior trim issue affect reliability? That's rather weird.

Looking at the data, in terms of true reliability EVs appear to be about on par with ICE cars which is quite the feat considering they have a 120+ year lead. Hammer out the manufacturing defects and the lead seems easy to achieve.

It's also a little weird to not give any nod to the almost complete lack of maintenance for EVs. Is it not a reliability win that you are able to gas up at home and have no maintenance to do other than tires?

> More specifically they want to use one language for the front and back end

What I mean here is exactly what I mean. Excuse the tautology because I don't think I can express it any clearer. It was in contrast to this:

> I believe it's pretty clear that htmx (and Phoenix) exist (at least in part) because people specifically _do not_ want to use Javascript.

Taking your example, Phoenix Liveview exists because Elixir developers want to use the same language across the stack. This might be because they are unfamiliar with JS, and learning a new language might be a pain. Or perhaps they are familiar with JS, but the context switch to another language still presents enough friction to avoid it. Choosing a single-language stack doesn't imply an aversion to JS in particular.

Pretty much all of them, insofar they were even valid concerns to begin with because many are not, or are at least hugely simplified, and a number of others have nothing to do with "Unix" in the first place.

The entire book is basically "let's compare the worst of 10 Unix systems to the best of 10 other systems, and then come to the conclusion all of Unix sucks and all the others are brilliant". Well, anything "sucks" in that way. And that is assuming that "best of 10 other systems" is accurate and not hugely biased and viewed with rose-coloured glasses.

I think this sentence probably sums up the book quite nicely:

> Will journaling become prevalent in the Unix world at large? Probably not. After all, it’s non-standard.

Which probably tells you all you need to know about the mentality of the authors. Nothing in any standard prevented anyone from journaling. It's just FUD.

The first journaling filesystem was introduced in 1990, in AIX, and then in 1991 in HP-UX. Both are Unix. Windows followed in 1993, Apple in 1998. This book is from 1994. This was more or less cutting-edge(-ish) stuff back then.

"Storing files" reliably has always been hard, on any system. "Unix can lose files" – well, yeah, just like any other system mate. Unix lead the way on improving that with journaling, and the book even acknowledges that in the paragraph before the one I quoted, and it's still whinging and whining and spreading bullshit FUD.

I'm not saying Unix is perfect today and I'm sure as hell not saying Unix anno 1994 was perfect. but a careful thoughtful criticism this book is not. The best part is Dennis Ritchie's "anti-foreword".

A book refuting all the bullshit in this book, even from a 1994 perspective, would probably be longer than this book. It's a classic case of bullshit asymmetry where flinging some nonsense in to the world takes almost no effort at all, but refuting it takes a lot more effort.
>Yes, that "we want to be just like men," that is, men as they are today, when in truth we need to change the society itself, men as well as women, to change everything. It is very striking in Betty Friedan: What she wants is for women to have as much power as men do. Obviously, if you are truly on the left, if you reject ideas of power and hierarchy, what you want is equality. Otherwise, it won't work at all.

It's too bad that people listen to this tripe... women will never be "just like men".

Pretty terrible in LA.

I was laid off two months ago. I haven’t been able to find an internal transfer team. I had two interviews but they both went for other candidates

I have one interview left. No more hits from applications, no more recruiter contacts and no more people I can ask for referrals. I’m burnt out from studying

Now I am being fairly picky at this stage, trying to aim for roles at big tech that can match my previous compensation.

If this last interview falls through I’m going to take a few weeks to focus on my mental and physical health. I’ve gained 10 pounds the past two months and stopped working out. So I’ll start with that. Then when I’m in a better place emotionally I’ll resume and expand my search.

Luckily I’ve been following r/financialindependence since I started working so I have a wealth of savings I can pull from to pay for my life while I find a job

> Or it seems that JSON works just fine without comments

Code that can't be annotated might as well be machine code. And guess what? Json largely is just that.

> It's so "absolutely necessary" that JSON has found hardly any success

I am almost 50, and since as early as I can remember, the worst technology always wins when there is some sort of standoff. That json succeeded doesn't mean anything, other than that it was the worst.

I'm old enough to understand why this is usually true... the best technology is usually more expensive, and economic forces favor the cheapest. Json though? Best I can figure is that imbeciles just got used to picking the worst, even when there was no expense tradeoff.

Snarking about how it won... I guess that means you think it was perfect on its first try? When the fuck has that ever happened with software?

You're just plainly wrong, and I don't know why or how you'd bother to be. Do you have a few hundred million in JSON Inc. shares about to IPO and somehow I missed it?

> We seem obsessed with molding the machine to our individual preferences. Perhaps we should obsess over the opposite: molding our mind to think more like the machine.

How so? Everything in "the machine" was created by other humans; from the latest CLI tool, to the CPU instruction set. As computer users, given that it's practically impossible for a single person to be familiar with all technologies, we must pick our battles and decide which technology to learn. Some of it is outdated, frustrating to use, poorly documented or maintained, and is just a waste of time and effort to learn.

Furthermore, as IT workers, it is part of our job to choose technologies worth our and our companies' time, and our literal livelihood depends on honing this skill.

So, yes, learning new tools is great, but there's only so much time in a day, and I'd rather spend it on things that matter. Even better, if no tool does what I want it to, I have the power to create a new one that does, and increase my development skills in the process.

> Snapdragon X Elite is faster than all but the M3 Max.
> From what I've seen it actually beats the M3 series in single-core performance.

Citations? Because from what I have found [1], Qualcomm only claims it’s 7% faster than a non-Pro, non-Max M2 in single-core. It’s 50% faster than the M2 in multi-core but that’s using 50% more cores

And all of this on a system with a TDP almost 4 times that of the M2 system, meaning it’s consuming a lot more power to get essentially the same performance.

All of this on a chip that’s coming out in 2024 at the earliest, when Apple will be introducing the M4 series — two generations down the road from what the Elite X is performing at.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, but "use what you already know" is almost always the right answer for these types of questions (especially since I didn't see "learn new tech" on the list of priorities). This is why every answer has a totally different stack and probably won't help you all that much.
You're right we probably would. Discrimination is very often passive but conscious. That does not mean that all perpetuation of discrimination that happens passively is conscious - probably the vast majority is not.

Let me give an example, to explain:

* If you receive two applications and the one from someone in category A is better but you choose the one from category B, I presume we both agree that is active discrimination.

* What I'd argue is conscious discrimination but passive is if you e.g. choose to continue to let having graduated from school X count extra much when evaluating candidates, knowing that this will bias your results towards category B and that having graduated from school X has no demonstrable impacts relevant to the job. Whether or not this counts for you I guess may depend on whether you see the individual factoring in of the graduation as an active action or just continuing to passively accept the same discriminatory rules.

* What we'd presumably both agree is not conscious/intentional discrimination is if you choose to make having graduated from school X count more, but you do so you while having no idea that this will happen to bias hiring towards category B.

But in the last case, I'd argue that while we presumably agree it's not discrimination per se, it still perpetuates effects that are likely to be an outcome of discrimination - e.g. chances are the reason it causes a bias is that the school intake is biased.

I'm not saying people are bad for failing to fix every bias like that. I'm saying that someone who claims to care about discrimination ought to at a minimum aspire to paying attention to unexpected biases, ask themselves why, and consider if there are reasonable ways to address it. One way in this hypothetical example would be to examine which factors in the hiring seems to introduce a bias and determine if they actually objectively correlates with improved outcomes or not, as if their only function is to introduce a bias that does not produce better outcomes, they're to me unambiguously discriminatory whether or not that was the original intent.

Personally, I think a whole lot of discriminatory practices falls in this last category - people may not intent do, they just haven't thought through the impact. But some people have thought through the impact and let it stay this way on purpose (e.g. I mentioned in one comment how my ex pointed a situation like this out to her employer and they refused to address it - it was clear it was on purpose)

Decompilation Debugging – Pretending All Binaries Come with Source Code
https://archive.is/ME59C
Yeah, did something similar with an actual colonial (18th Century) apprentice's indenture, with similar results. It did, however, flag some provisions as potentially legally problematic, so it clearly has some remote idea that there are legal limits on contracts. Specifically, it called out in the "Standard Practice Comparison":

"Prohibitions on Personal Activities
The contract restricts personal activities like marrying and playing unlawful games. Today, such personal prohibitions would likely be deemed overly restrictive and unacceptable under employment law."

(OTOH, while recognizing that employment law was relevant, it didn't call out that the consideration from the employer for the 5-year employment period didn't include any financial compensation was both far out of standard practice, contrary to employment law, and, if you ignore the invalidity the way the AI apparently does, a pretty big thing the apprentice should take note of, noting instead that the room and board commitment was a big plus, so not giving it much credit here.)
Personally I really like the single file approach.

If the weights are 4GB, and the binary code needed to actually execute them is 4.5MB, then the size of the executable part is a rounding error - I don't see any reason NOT to bundle that with the model.

I think a lot of progress in the field of AI comes from random breakthroughs rather than evolution of existing ideas. For that reason, I think AGI will probably be another random breakthrough, and not just an LLM with more parameters. Good if you're NVidia, bad if you're OpenAI. The random breakthrough could happen at Google, or it could happen in some professor's basement. There is no way to know, and no way to throw money at the problem and guarantee a return.
