So you don't actually want to "tear it all down", yes? That would indeed be very stupid. Revolutionaries almost always make things worse, and often has wicked motives. Reformers can make things better.

Unfettered capitalism is certainly worth criticism. A just economic arrangement is one that rests on a sound philosophical anthropology. Of course, a good portion of those raging against "the system" are driven less by moral concerns and more by envy masquerading as moral concern.
I'm not sure if this is what you have in mind, but have you seen Nomic, or perhaps even the boardgame Secret Hitler is relevant?

An Air with 16GB is $200 extra, so $1299.

Is $200 a good deal for that extra 8GB? Oh hell no. But we're still an extremely long way away from $3K as initially claimed and the idea of "basic" business users needing >8GB is pretty debatable.

This discussion is ridiculous. If somebody is going to claim that Product XYZ is overpriced but obviously had no idea what they're talking about and are objectively off by a factor of greater than 2x -- 130%! -- that's worth pointing out.

By the way. Looking at Dell's mainline 13" Latitude laptops with 16GB, guess what? They start at $1,065 and most of them are more than that.

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/scc/sr/laptops/latitude-lapt...

I certainly do know you can certainly get a new Dell with 16GB for less, or even just buy a carload of old laptops from a local e-cycler for like $100 each and slap some DIMMs in them. I've done it. I mean I get it. I'm not saying everybody should roll out a fleet of Macs, I'm pointing out that it's not some totally outlandish thing that costs "$3K" per user.
It is absolutely True that most larger tech companies could run much leaner. Almost all projects that are done by many cross functional teams with lots of coordination overhead could be done by a small team of effective senior engineers.

Middle management, project/product empires mostly increase overheads with sublinear increase in output.
Genuinely curious -- why would OP give away shares to someone else? Those shares were vested in the past as a reward for their contributions so far, and commensurate with the risk OP took in a venture that could pivot into something else. So shouldn't they keep those shares as a reward but cease further vesting? I thought this was the whole point of why founders vest their own ownership. If they want to bring on a CTO they will have to dilute everyone, but this is the consequence of pivoting into a new space that no longer has founder-market fit (i.e. the original idea was risky as it led to a pivot away from a founder's competency, therefore everyone should dilute equally as a consequence).
Every now and then I see a set that looks like it’s actually for kids to play with. More exposed nubs, spaces big enough for kid fingers to fit into (so many feature only tiny spaces now, even for a kid!) and builds that don’t look so fiddly that they’d be impossible to repair after rough play or accidental damage without starting over.

But yeah, even like 90% of the ones that appear to be marketed to kids suck for kids to play with, now. They look nice on the box, and on a shelf, though, and I guess that’s what shifts units.
If iMessage is so good, why do so many people want to use Beeper instead? If I thought my Keurig were a good coffee machine, I wouldn't go out of my way to install a different coffee machine.

Moderna and its mRNA vaccines is truly magic. Like someone born 500 years ago - if they saw what Moderna was making, they would think this is God like power.

For the game engine? Probably. In general having a better Vulkan renderer will result in better performance and correctness on all platforms. A few optimizations may be targeting the platform's strengths but I would expect the vast majority of engine improvements to be cross-platform.

For the Vulkan implementation? Probably not. IIUC Android uses a different driver stack than GNU/Linux. Only the very core layers are shared.

But indirectly more game engines supporting Vulkan will raise interest in progressing and optimizing Vulkan, so there will probably be indirect effects.
Finetuning means adjusting parameters based on a smaller, specific dataset to tailor the LLM's responses, but the model's underlying knowledge is fixed at the point of its last training update. It adjusts how existing knowledge is used, but doesn't add new facts or information post-training. It's more about tweaking responses, biases, and style, rather than updating its factual database.

RAG combines a language model like GPT with a real-time search component. This allows the model to pull in information from external sources during its response generation process.
Now the ability to access and integrate the most recent information is gained, which the language model alone wouldn't have.

Semantic nit: STC is a type checker, SWC already compiles TypeScript well. TSC does both (unless flagged to do one or the other) so it depends on what needs replacing.

Why it matters: in GP’s case it sounds like compiling is the problem, so migrating to using SWC as the compiler but keeping TSC as the checker (noEmit flag) in a lint step may ease that pain a bit. Though it might be nicer to migrate both in parallel.

I promise I am being completely serious: This is a point in the mis-judged sci-fi story about being an attack helicopter - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Sexually_Identify_as_an_Atta...

> My gender networks have been reassigned to make me a better AH-70 Apache Mystic pilot. ... Look at a diagram of an attack helicopter’s airframe and components. Tell me how much of it you grasp at once. Now look at a person near you, their clothes, their hair, their makeup and expression, the way they meet or avoid your eyes. Tell me which was richer with information about danger and capability. Tell me which was easier to access and interpret. The gender networks are old and well-connected. They work.

There was supposedly a study where scientists saw that when monkeys used tools, their brains treated the tools as extended body parts. If you get good enough at something, your brain wraps around it and it becomes as obvious to you as your own gender and social status.

Pulumi -> Same end result as Terraform but you use Code (python, go, typescript) to describe resources instead of hcl

I use Google Analytics (I know, I know, it's bad, sorry for that, but I tried Matomo and it didn't work for me). I noticed in recent years the amount of visitors got down by a lot. Would it be possible to know that the reason is because the users are blocking Analytics JS?

To compare, my website gets around 600 visitors per day according to Analytics, while Cloudflare says something around 4k. Who should I trust?

Also, if Cloudflare would add visitors per page, I would completely remove Analytics. I only want to know visitors per day, country, and the most visited webpages. That's more than enough.

It’s not protection: its justification.
Tragically, even having good insurance isn't a perfect guard against crushing medical debt due to the whole in-network vs. out-of-network bullshit involved.

If you have to go through a procedure of any complexity in a hospital, you may discover after the fact one or more of the doctors that were brought in were out-of-network despite the hospital being in-network, and suddenly, you're stuck with a giant bill insurance won't cover.

There's a reason some people have secondary, tertiary, and even quaternary insurance nowadays to cover things each previous providers don't.

I had the same thoughts when I was thinking of "how can I make myself an Enterprise 2 years back. I hope that a Lego AI* will help me get the individual parts needed AND the manual to build it myself, and to work around the IP issues name it "Green Spaceship" (and I will simply order the Grey pieces instead of the Green.

I see on my bookmarks I got a https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a056ebf2-163e-4aa0-b005-02b0.... I remember finding out who that C3Brix is and contacted him, but never got a response.

People will have better chance coming up with their own generic design than an IP-owned.

> But you definitely won't see an F16 fighter jet anytime soon.

Considering some Lego AI* that will be 'smart' enough when fed the full library of Lego bricks dimensions, it should be able to build ANY 3D design or using 'many' 2D (photos/drawings) of a 'thing' and generate the 'shopping list' and the manual.

I don't know how happy would Lego be then (as Lego bricks must be somehow their IP), but it would be GREAT if someone built that.. I would happily pay $100 to generate stuff some some Star Trek iconic designs (Dyson sphere, all the Enterprises, the Voyager, etc.)

EDIT: I saw others had the same idea in other comments.. I'll add a reminder on my Calendar in 6 months from now to see what's been going on for this topic

EDIT2: I just asked Bard and it came up with 5 suggestions, listed below:

1. Mecabricks
Mecabricks is a web-based software that allows you to create LEGO models from scratch or import photos and dimensions. It has a large library of LEGO bricks and pieces, and it can generate step-by-step instructions for your models.

4. Art4Bricks
Art4Bricks is a company that specializes in creating custom LEGO mosaics. You can upload a photo to their website and they will create a custom design for you. They will also sell you the LEGO bricks and instructions you need to build the mosaic.

5. LEGO Mosaic Maker
The LEGO Mosaic Maker is an official LEGO product that allows you to create LEGO mosaics from photos. It comes with a set of 4,702 LEGO bricks in 5 colors, and it includes instructions for creating 15 different mosaic designs.

I never did. Never really got it either, and I have the same problems. I think most people are also religious which I am not, and I think that drives a lot of meaning and behavior. I believe it's actually the largest correlation with birthrate; more religious societies have more children.

I'll be a bit provocative and say that mostly I've come to believe that children are status symbols, especially for the non-religious.

Intel whining about the CHIPS Act, while doing huge layoffs, while continuing massive stock buybacks, while continuing to pay dividends...

I'm not impressed.

I'd expect a corporation facing an existential crisis would make some tough decisions and accept the consequences. I know that Wall St (investors) is the tail wagging the dog. But I expect a leader to hold off the vultures (ghouls) long enough to do the necessary pivots.

At least Intel's doom spiral isn't as grimm as the condundrum facing the automobile manufacturers. They need to prop up their declining business units, pay off their loan sharks (investors), somehow resolve their death embrace with the unions, transform culture (bust up their organizational siloes), transform relationships with their suppliers, AND somehow get capital (cheap enough) to fund their pivots.

I'm sure Intel has the technical chops to do great things. But financially their half-measures strategy doesn't instill confidence.

For more detail, finetuning means adjusting parameters based on a smaller, specific dataset to tailor the LLM's responses, but the model's underlying knowledge is fixed at the point of its last training update. It adjusts how existing knowledge is used, but doesn't add new facts or information post-training. It's more about tweaking responses, biases, and style, rather than updating its factual database.

RAG combines a language model like GPT with a real-time search component. This allows the model to pull in information from external sources during its response generation process. Now the ability to access and integrate the most recent information is gained, which the language model alone wouldn't have.

But even with RAG, results can disappoint. RAG works best on smaller chunks of information, but the knowledge in the underlying model gets in the way of accuracy. On our knowledgebase, in an area where there is a lot of mis- and not-quite-accurate info on the internet, it regularly provides inaccurate information—is unusable.

As @treprinium points out below, you also have to "calibrate similarity "thresholds" to know the probability distribution of relevant/correct/incorrect chunks for any given sentence and what the N should be to reach them. It's not going to be perfect but you can end up with 90% accuracy on average which tends to be better than many full-text search solutions"
You're gonna notice when your budget Android is barely usable after a couple years. It's well known at this point iPhones age better.

The iPhone SE performs basically the same as the most expensive model you can buy. And it's not about gaming, it's about basic tasks - moving around the OS, cold starting apps, editing photos/videos, etc.

I think the typescript-eslint plugin in particular has some high value eslint rules that complement TypeScript.

For example, the no-floating-promise[0] rule catches some easily-made mistakes involving promises in a way that TypeScript doesn't on its own.

Other rules can be used to increase type safety further. There are various rules relating to `any`, like no-unsafe-argument[1], which can be helpful to prevent such types sneaking into your code without realising it; TS has `noImplicitAny`, but it'll still let you run something like `JSON.parse()` and pass the resulting any-typed value around without checking it.

I've been part of four or five breaches. My favorite part is the complete lack of value in the mitigations for me. I was part of the OPM data breach, and the data included was literally everything, since it was everything collected as part of my application for a security clearance. A result of that was 10 years of credit monitoring, so every new breach's offer of 12 or 24 months of monitoring is useless.

Until there are statutory damages for data breaches, and even steeper ones for failure to report breaches, companies aren't going to properly safeguard data.

In the age of Megabloks, Lego still had the moat of their pieces actually being fit for purpose. Megabloks were ass, and even a kid could instantly tell.

And their directions were always a ton better, for sets—though they used to be more like spot-the-difference puzzles than they are now, which I credit with my burying the needle on a spatial reasoning test in high school, so I’m kinda sad they lost that perhaps-accidental pedagogical value in the shift to the you-can-follow-them-in-your-sleep, modern style of directions.

(Even the "enter into force" is debatable, should really read "be approved" - enforcement might come at later date, or even never.)

And yes, the European Council sucks. It's full of these directly elected members of national parliaments, always so keen to pander to the electorate.
