I think the point is, most people think of "great" as somewhere above "good" - somewhere almost unattainable. So don't paralyze yourself trying to attain it (whatever you think the threshold is). Just make it to "good" (a much more attainable threshold), and then keep doing that.

Be good often, rather than great once.

I would be willing to pay an extra $5k just to have the exact layout of the 2006 Honda CR-V.

I could manage every setting of that vehicle without even looking.

It was standardised across most Hondas, so I could do the same in any other vehicle of the same model era range.

Aiming is easy. Achieving your aims is an entirely different problem.

Given their track record, it seems more plausible that they'll close down wind turbines and replace them with more coal, like their "green" government has been doing with nuclear.
Conversely, I'm not going to need to ration insulin in Argentina, Brazil, or India. Can't speak to the DPRK or Somalia as I haven't been.

If capital was allocated democratically rather than at the whim of companies (that end up chasing taxpayer subsidies anyways... SpaceX, Tesla, etc.) you wouldn't need to strictly enforce patent law. The risk is already being assumed mostly by the government for truly bleeding edge research. What we have in practice is a system where the cost is socialized and the benefit is privatized.

> What you are talking about is file change notifications. A huge part of Everything's speed comes from reading the master file table that other people mentioned, so you would need a way to quickly read file table entries on linux.

Not a problem. And no, I'm not talking about inotify either, and I'll additionally index the contents of (text) files as well with a negligible additional performance hit. It can be done as fast as, or faster than, `Everything`.

TBH, if I thought I could make even $100 in donations from this, I'd start it tomorrow, but absolutely no one misses ultra-fast searching when they don't have it.

Even on Windows, the number of users who go out and look for something that searches as fast as Everything is a rounding error - statistical noise. Now go and divide that fractional percentage of Everything users on Windows by 100 to get the number of Linux users who might use this.

They're also hard to find now because the web has become so much more than what it was back then. So many more people and companies are on the web now, so _good_ smaller personal pages make up a much smaller percentage of what's out there. I think this might be a larger cause of this issue than less curation.
Microsoft plus Activision combined is about 6% of the gaming industry. “buy up all the independent[sic] software vendors” is some serious hyperbole.

Most are pretty much actually k8s, though they tend to have different ways of handling the masters, my understanding is that it's the same k8s binaries and code

What I've seen is the k8s APIs working their way into other systems like cloud functions and servers, so you can use the same Yaml across vendors and products. This is further solidifying k8s APIs as an industry standard

Searching "managed kubernetes providers" is a good starting point to learn about the various offerings

That's, I guess.. a take.

Regarding your link..

If this is the case, what is your proposed solution to avoid this "civil war" in France?
Agreed, and agreed, with the proviso that “confidential information” doesn’t cover the general knowledge of how something is done. For example, designing motors for Ford shouldn’t mean a lifetime ban on making motors for anyone else.

One thing to keep in mind if thinking it should be easy to find this guy: The desert is big, looks a lot alike, and is more dynamic than people give it credit for. Earthquakes, floods, and other natural things can alter the landscape in subtle ways. Many high yield prospects were lost when prospectors could never find them again for such reasons, leading to many legends of "lost" mines.

I also think it's most likely that the man didn't want to be found, sadly. He wouldn't be the first.
Eurowings Crash
> and rides a 1952 Raleigh bicycle

My wife has a 1950's Raleigh women's bike we bought ages ago for $50 and it is hands down the most comfortable bike we own.

I own 4 other bikes (a cruiser, an e-cruiser, and two racing bikes) but always grab hers for my errands within ~15 blocks.

Everything about it just feels easy-- it's well balanced, has a great upright sitting position, a super comfy saddle, an easy to use 3-speed hub, big soft tires, and the frame is basically indestructible.

Occasionally something gets out of place or slightly off and I just whack it back into place.
I saw a unique perspective on this: It’s more useful and appropriate to ask not if the AI is intelligent but if it can do work that once required human intelligence. Because that’s the milestone from a purely economic point of view.

That's not that big a worry. People strive and aspire no matter what their conditions. We've got loads of wildly unsatisfied billionaires. There's no meaningful difference between them and 'welfare queens' at the most basic level.

In the absence of want, people will invent want. Supply all the conditions of a totally unexamined life and people will look to status, or acquisition, as if it is life. People will manufacture what they call meaning within the context of their frame of reference.
It's a cruel joke, but sometimes the only option. Or, the only option that actually works. Many times have I had Whatsapp or chatbot sessions solve an issue with 15-30 mins, while emails were never answered or phone calls simply cut or never returned.

If you work at your computer, it can also be done in the background without actually taking up too much time or requiring you to sit attentively through any waiting period.
I don’t disagree, but what exactly means stopping Russia? How would you define what is “winning”? So, “that Russia doesn’t do that anymore”? Russia is a nuclear superpower, who can stop them? The NATO? But that’s 3WW.

Not a native speaker, but for what it's worth, "resow the seeds" has a strong connotation of "just try the same thing again" to me. As in, "Last year's crop has been destroyed by a drought. We'll resow the same kind of seeds and try again this year."
It would be illegal for them to be collaborating with Adobe in any way on roadmap before the deal closed.
tensile-kube seems to be structured as a "k8s cluster of k8s clusters", with an upper kubemaster farming out resources to lower kubemasters (through virtual-node). I don't know if there's any particular reason to have that separation; possibly the lower kubemasters could be removed and you could just run a bunch of virtual-kubelets.
This seems to be a growing trend among the sub-millenial generations. Kids have always loved to rebel since the dawn of time. How better to do it at this point than to disconnect? The world will be a better place for it. They might even develop true subcultures again.
The singularity is nigh…
Yes, and we surely be occupied with that hypothetical crystal ball threat, while allowing our own investment money buy out all the property. There are real issues to be addressed right now
Varying load by +/- 25% is neat but that doesn’t solve the “I need energy at night” problem for solar. You either need batteries or wind (but even wind is risky because you’re screwed during windless nights).

All these other ideas are worth exploring and I’m 100% in favor of them, but the only path to decarbonizing the grid is nuclear & I’m so frustrated by all the solar absolutists that think renewables can power 100% of the grid by 2050 just because solar panel costs are dropping. We’d get much closer to net 0 if we were building fission plants aggressively (cue all the solar proponents claiming it’s too expensive or unsafe even when it really isn’t and solar costs are intentionally calculated in a misleading fashion to ignore the buildout needed for energy storage or altering unrelated industries to make solar more attractive).
It could be negotiated as an investment, but that only benefits Adobe. Figma wouldn't want it (would you want your biggest competitor to be an investor? they'd have information and leverage you wouldn't want them to have), and it defeats the purpose of a break-up fee (Figma negotiated for it because they didn't want to spend a year of their lives focusing on something that would benefit their competitor if it's all for nothing... Adobe gained a year, has a ton of information, and distracted Figma).
Copyright gives artists, musicians and writers the same right to control their work as carpenters, bakers, and furniture makers. What you call "rent seeking" is what others call the right to bargain for how much they get paid. If you want these arts to exist, you need to protect the creators by giving them the same status in society as people who make physical goods.
I think every EV I've driven has a charging timer - so I've been able to say "only charge overnight when prices are cheaper". Some have "Be charged to 100% by this time" so they can pick and choose when to start charging.

Please don't let your lack of experience run away concocting scenarios which don't exist.
My favourite comment as well in this world so full of pump and dump shows. The mentality is so intrenched that if you are not one of these pump and dump shows with an exit strategy then you are labelled a lifestyle business instead of a proper "startup".

Have a 2023 ID.4. There are three things I do most frequently:

- Connect my phone via CarPlay (as only user).

- Adjust AC depending on outside temperature and passengers.

- Plug car in at home to charge after midnight (cheaper rates).

In all three cases, the car forgets previous settings, requires multiple taps (up to 5-6 at a time), or makes it hard to find the screen to make the adjustment.

My last car ran fine for 20+ years. This is the third VW I've ever driven; the first two were a long time ago. I intentionally leased this one since I figured EV technology would evolve, so best to hold off before purchasing outright.

Unless they figure out how to make those features be 0-touch (or even 1-touch) operations, this will be the last VW for me. The EV part works fine, but I grit my teeth every time I get in or out of the car.
So you insist on negating the benefits of not only engineering, but also science? :)

The question of what benefits space program brought to humanity is old and well known, I'll only remind of one of it. The modern generation of space engineers and explorers was born and raised with the awe of the Apollo program achievements - of man setting foot on another celestial body for the first time. Statistically many people working on space developments came to the industry inspired by the spirit of Apollo.
My other "favorite" is "we are currently experiencing a higher than usual volume of calls," which I hear literally every time.
Even completely ignoring the current AI hype cycle, considering the terrible state of software quality nowadays a proper Butlerian Djihad might be a good thing if that's the only way to reset the status quo ;)
When I see this I worry that he's become codependent or "parentified" by his grandmother and is becoming the kind of man who would have been her father or her peer when she was younger. Not sure we should be celebrating this when it's impacting his ability to function in modern society. It's probably not a coincidence that the boy "beyond obsessed" with the 40s has been raised solely by his grandmother.
Dormant bluetooth my ass.
Interesting -- I made quite a lot on NKLA selling put spreads. It was obvious that they were a fraud. But the market was full of obvious frauds that didn't collapse. GME and AMC had scared the short-sellers out of the market. Idiots were pouring money into NFTs. I just made a bet that NKLA wouldn't fall apart right away, and it paid off very well.
Pretty sure it means that Ruby isn't the bottleneck for your case.

In most WebApps the first performance bottleneck people tend to hit is the DB: missing indexes, n+1 queries, etc.
Remarkably ignorant comment, and bitter too. You might as well blame MS Word for all the poorly written books out there.
I think it's a little strange, sure, but if I'm being honest with myself, I'm a little strange too. As a famous cat once said, we're all mad here.

Aside from (maybe?) driving under the speed limit, no harm no foul. Not mentioned in the article, but I do hope he's OK with modern medicine, like the polio vaccine, and will be willing to eschew his aversion to cell phones if his grandmother has to get in touch with him in some sort of emergency...
It's a good blog post and highlights a real issue. As discussed well in this thread, there may be incentives that make PMs weigh certain risks higher, but I'm struggling to come up with a project manager task that isn't, in some way or another, about managing risk. I would be curious if you have specific examples you're thinking of. I agree with you in terms of many people conflating the two; i.e., they pretend they've mitigated a risk but all they've done is pass the buck. As you point out, they've confused themselves about what risk management really is.

Regarding the extension of the water heater example, I get what you're aiming at, but I'm not sure I agree. I deliberately used the term "licensed" because that is a risk management mechanism. Credentials and legal structures are a way we can manage risk. In this case, a license is a mechanism to ensure the work is insured in case it's done incorrectly. A bonded contract is another mechanism that mitigates the risk that the contractor won't complete the work. An inspector is a mechanism to manage the risk that the installation wasn't performed to code. None of these require me to know about mechanical systems, or hoop stress vs. longitudinal stress, or any other design elements. Now I agree on a simple example, this may be stretching the analogy. But when we get to really complex projects, I don't think it's entirely reasonable for a PM to be familiar with the aspects to that degree. Of course it's preferential, but on some projects I've been a part of, it's all but impossible for a PM to be knowledgable about control theory, and environmental compliance, and aerodynamics, and material science, and contract law etc. to a sufficient degree to manage the risk themselves. That's why they have systems engineers, codes, inspectors, and quality assurance plans, etc. These are the frameworks for risk management.
>15 mins after we get a proper AI it will make a spaceship and fuck off somewhere that we are not

And maybe it will mine uranium to power the spaceship, and since most of Earth's uranium is in its core, it smashes the moon into the Earth to expose the core to its mining machines.

I was hoping I could run my LLM CLI tool against Ollama via their localhost API, but it looks like they don't offer an OpenAI-compatible endpoint yet.

If they add that it will work out of the box: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/other-models.html#openai-...

Otherwise someone would need to write a plugin for it, which would probably be pretty simple - I imagine it would look a bit like the llm-mistral plugin but adapted for the Ollama API design: https://github.com/simonw/llm-mistral/blob/main/llm_mistral....

When authoritarian regimes can outwait their democratically elected opponents while manipulating populist politics to achieve their desired outcomes - we need to face what will ultimately happen: condemn if not ourselves, then our children to much bigger war in not so distant futures.

Yeah, Seinfeld is my go to mental reference for the perfect time period... and I'm not even a huge fan of the show, having only watched bits and pieces
There are trillions of tasks / jobs that are still to be done. Even to prepare AI / Robots to do those jobs takes lots of additional human 'work'.

I'll make an open bet. You'll need more humans and we will have more jobs in the next 10-20 years that we will not find enough people.

Plus Covid stimulus already showed that it's easy for the Government to print money and give it to people. It's not unpopular at all when it comes to existential risk
Why not ask the AIs to come up with a plan if they’re so intelligent ?

We should abandon the notion of “wages” entirely
Yeah, that's my sentiment too. I have no stake in this transaction at all. It was okay for Whatsapp, Instagram, Waze, etc. employees to get a payday, but not Figma employees.
Sure, but that's not quite what I mean. I'm not necessarily worried about a life without meaning, or want. Hell, in the absolutely best case AI enables that utopian world of allowing people to focus on their passions and achieve their best selves.

But that's not the world we currently live in.

I'm worried the job losses will be slow, and that many people will suffer because we have our antiquated notions of the world. That we will let people starve, because it's their own fault for not working (in this new world, devoid of work.) And that those attitudes will persist because those at the top will be some of the last to be fully effected.
I'm not sure about the bit of him falling in love with the 40s after reading a...prisoner of war diary? Doesn't seem very uplifting.

And though he refuses to enter into the spirit of rationing, he is also in the fantasy world where the Germans aren't bombing and threatening to invade, or there are postwar shortages and cities in ruin. Yeah, I supposed it's OK to like the clothing, cars and other tech, but it seems a not much like the actual 1940s in Great Britain.
