Avarice is the driving force of capitalism; so should be expected to be an integral part of any organization that optimizes for capital return to investors.

Could be both! Though I definitely think that his Twitter addiction has been a net-negative for his image. It's interesting to watch someone with so much money and ambition become a social media addict like the rest of us.
Team Cymru claim to be able to trace through VPNs using widely collected flow records from Internet core routers. ISPs sell these flow records to third parties.

So the whole fabric of the Internet itself is one giant spy machine, in effect. That sounds like is like it's straight out of dystopian fiction, but no, it's for real.

There is a book called “Seven checkmarks” in Dutch that argues that succes in the Netherlands is strongly correlated to seven checkmarks to have: male, highly educated parents, white, certain type of elite high school, university educated and one more. Having all the marks, having generally underperformed academically and still coming out on top comparatively I feel there might be some truth in it. It would signal a quite stratified society with a “ruler class” inside a society that thinks of itself as classless for the last 60 years at least. (It’s pretty hard to reason about this being while being under scrutiny.)

Why post this? After reading your comment I thought wouldn’t want to live there or raise children there. But the second thought was, wait - that’s meritocracy in action. Imperfect meritocracy as you point out, but it might still be more equitable not than having seven checkmarks and generally faring worse than those born under a different star. My Rawlsian self thinks grit should be rewarded more than birth, even though testing for grit would probably massively increase burnout.

Thinking even further, I don’t think that societies with “high grit” (Korea, US) are generally considered to treat their children and general society very equitable. Still mentally debating if there is a very socialist argument growing inside of me. That book (read it three months ago) does make me think a lot. It was the first time something ‘near-woke’ made me think so hard. The book mentions the reflective point as well - might I only take it that seriously because it was written by someone from the same “class”? Foundational stuff.
"Could reach" is a fairly hedged phrasing, there.

The plant generated 16,477 GWh in 2021 [1]. Over 5 years, it'd generate 82,385,000,000 kWh. At the LAX average retail rate of $0.287/kWh [2], that generation would return $23,644,495,000 in revenue.

> Toyota had throttle by wire problem they blamed on drivers.

My memory may be failing here, but I thought that the resolution of that was ultimately that it was the drivers at fault.
Or over an active seismic fault?
If my math is right on the "$6 billion over 5 years" then that is 2250 MW capacity * 720 *12 to get a bit more than 19000 Gwh per year. So what is the annual, billable power generation for this nuclear plant?
But also they had their military expenses reduced to almost 0 for decades. It’s easy to compoundly outgrow neighbors if you don’t spend as much.
Nvidia were also lucky enough to be in the right at the right time for crypto as well, weren’t they?

Feels like he should entertain the possibility that they made their own luck.
I agree, which ... is why jakelazaroff is warning that ImGui is meant for internal custom tools, not tools where things like accessibility is a concern.
I have a hard time understanding what you mean by that, could you put it in simpler terms?
You're confusing hashing as in SHA-256 with perceptual hashing, which is more like a blurry thumbnail of an image converted into numbers.

Any minor alteration to an image will change it's cryptographic hash completely, making those pretty poor tools for finding images that might want to be hidden.
Perceptual hashing should match e.g. resized versions of the image, but with them two "blurry thumbnail hashes" can match accidentally.
> A selection of 122 secondhand Ikea furnishings fetched a total of £32,000 at an auction in Stockholm on Monday night, as some of the cheap and cheerful flatpack retailer’s more unusual designs are coming to be recognised as collectors’ items.

That's an average of £262 an item. What's the story here? That someone paid £1,700 for a used red impala sofa? It looks like only the sofa and the leather chairs sold for over £1,000. That's really not a lot for a piece of furniture, even used. I bet once you do the math on inflation and the strength of the pound 50 years ago, it'll come out a total wash - not worth the cost of storage.

Most of these are not collector items: IKEA makes lots of stuff out of solid wood and metal that should resell for hundreds of pounds without any kind of collectible value. My local Consignment Classics has tons of old IKEA stuff, they just don't organize auction events, you have to come find them on the floor.
Absolutely gorgeous. While I'm more of a Windows 9x guy these days, for a glossy, modern, transparent UI the peak is undoubtedly Windows 7. Just gorgeous. The last time Microsoft fully cared about releasing a finished product with an actual coherent philosophy of design underpinning it.
And you don't think that the guy with the golden toilet who owns several estates and the guy who bought a social media platform because he was mad they weren't allowing the golden toilet guy on the platform are textbook elites, even by your definition?

They really do have people brainwashed to think they're on their side...
Anyone know of a similar project but written in VueJs?
> ... apart from the fact that they also belong to the Volkswagen Group

Volkswagen group with itself belongs to the Porsche SE holding. The Porsche SE holding is the biggest owner of Volkswagen shares (with 1/3rd of all the shares) and holds the majority of the shares with voting rights.

And the Porsche SE holding shares are mostly held by the two Porsche and Piech families.

So, in the end, Porsche the car manufacturer belongs to the VW group which itself belongs to the Porsche SE holding which itself belongs to the Porsche (and Piech) families.
No. Just bought it so I could check. Edit: I'd be happy to spend some time helping the developer with this if they're interested.

> This is not the only factor in software development today,

I suspect it is a mistake to think that software development today is fundamentally different from how it was practised when he first wrote that. Possible application of recency bias..
Not really. The technology is interesting, but the scene/subculture itself is incredibly off-putting to me. It greatly dampens whatever enthusiasm I may have had.
They could, and many do, but the difference is that those types of interfaces are mandated/regulated while EV charging is not. Guess what's slightly cheaper when amortized across tens of thousands of customers in the products lifetime? Not to mention the amount of data that could be mined from those customers by having yet another app on their phone with bullshit location permissions "for the best user experience."

Every gas pump has looked/functioned largely the same since the widespread adoption of cashless payments around the world. Until governments mandate a standard payment interface, I think it's more likely that companies will continue to find ways to mine data from consumers through shitty apps.

Oh, and that's not even to mention the companies that include some amount of "free charging" credits with the purchase of the vehicle. Not only is that cost baked into the cost of the car, you're also disincentivized from using the network at all because of how crappy it is. /tinfoilhat
It seemed like you were criticizing the "accessibility song and dance that happens every time a GUI library is the topic", as if you think accessibility concerns are over-blown. If that wasn't your intention, I suggest you clarify what you actually mean.

The author mentions at one point that he was unable to solve a problem because he didn't memorize the formula for the Euler totient function in order to count the number of numbers relatively prime to 9999.

...but its actually an interesting (and not super difficult) exercise in its own right to figure this out even if you don't know the formula. Encourage you all to give it a shot.

SPOILERS: 9999 = 3^2 * 11 * 101, so first subtract out the multiples of 3 (3333 of them), the multiples of 11 (909 of them), the multiples of 101 (99 of them). Note that we've now double-subtracted multiples of 33 (303 of them), multiples of 303 (33 of them), multiples of 1111 (9 of them) so add these back. Finally subtract 1 to not count 9999 itself.

phi(9999) = 9999 - 3333 - 909 - 101 + 33 + 303 + 9 - 1 = 6000

I guess my point is that the purpose of these problems is not to separate out people who know specific tricks from people who don't—its to separate out people who can reason their way through difficult mathematical problems and people who can't.
This should be mandated by law.

You so almost have a point I'd agree, but then go off the rails with your nonsensical solar retort.

I agree the expense sounds extraordinarily high to the point of not being profitable at all, but I'm not an expert in the energy sector so maybe the industry numbers really are that high.

however, my arm chair quarterback position in solar would immediately recognize you're numbers being touted for a solar solution in $ and years are just made up
Dear ImGui code actually looks quite declarative, except that the actions are directly 'inlined' into the UI declaration as code.

For instance:

if (ImGui::Button("Click Me")) {
// do the stuff that should happen when the button is clicked
}

To hide a part of the UI you simply skip the code which describes that part of the UI.

if (!btnHidden) {
if (ImGui::Button("Click Me")) {
...
}
}

Your code describes what the UI should look like in the current frame, and what should happen on user interactions, but without event listeners or callback functions.

How you keep the UI declaration separate from the "business logic" is up to you. Dear ImGui allows very close coupling (which quite often is actually an advantage for adhoc UIs), or you can keep both separated as much as you prefer.

> How does IMGUI handle theming, reflow or even GPU acceleration on different platform ?

Dear ImGui actually builds an internal "stateful" representation of the UI declaration (it needs to remember at least some state between frames, otherwise simple features like moveable/sizeable windows wouldn't be possible) and then generates an optimized list of rendering commands that plug almost directly into 3D rendering APIs like D3D, Metal, GL etc... (the renderer is implemented outside of Dear ImGui by yourself, however Dear ImGui also comes with pluggable example renderers and window system glue for pretty much any platform and 3D API).

Themeing/skinning is indeed a weak point of Dear ImGui specifically, other immediate mode UI frameworks like Nuklear offer more flexibility there, but this has nothing to do with the imgui philosophy, only with feature sets of specific imgui libraries.
But dept can only recognized if you're trying to implement something new, and notice that you have to pay interest. Poorly written code makes it very hard to implement new features & debug existing one, while well written code makes it easy. So the current dept can only be estimated with respect of features you are implementing in the future.
I disagree. Scaling things up has a cost, but not all costs are debt financed. I think the distinction is worth drawing.
(author here) This really depends on what you're trying to functionally achieve, the organisation of your knowledge base and the fidelity you're looking for.

Let's take the example of "where should the assistant look for information on topic X", the absolute minimums would be to identify possible topics & the hierarchy of places you could look.

From the product engineering POV for the build your own path, for a well defined, limited search space this should be easily doable by a single engineer in a few days to a week. As this scales out to an entire company's knowledge base this quickly becomes a quarters long project for a small ML team to build the ongoing training jobs, data pipelines & monitoring tools required to make it robust.

From the POV of users, we designed our system to give our users the option to provide as much or as little feedback as they like. We can go quite far with upvotes/downvotes on whole answers, but we also accept per reference votes & full natural language feedback. We're still working on even deeper feedback mechanisms for power users & admins but we've typically seen the vast majority of users engaging in per answer voting & then exponentially smaller groups in the more detailed mechanisms.
What tools are others using to build these wireflows? We find figma too detailed and mockup does not quite get us there (not sure why).

Any recommendations?
The situation seems to be documented in the server repo:

Certainly! It's generally considered a negative trait for LLMs to hallucinate but to say a writer is doing the same thing is kind of just implying they are a bad writer with a surface level understanding of their topic. I believe it's the confident delivery that's the issue, or the improper logical synthesis of ideas because they "seem" to be related.
Heck, try to get them to use their legs. We had neighbors two houses over that would always DRIVE to visit us - from their house. They thought our car was broken down whenever I walked half a mile to the grocery. America is weird.
I guess I don’t even get why the car keeps selling. I am in the market and wasn’t impressed from what I drove. Subaru has an electric vehicle now and I loved it. Probably will go with that. It’s strange because just 4-5 years ago all I wanted when I got an EV was a Tesla, they seemed so cool. Now, I just don’t feel that way towards them anymore. And I think more than the faulty parts, which happens and it doesn’t sound like it’s that many of the vehicles anyway, it’s the lack of customer service. I’d lose my mind if I spent all that money and was told it was my fault on day one and it falls apart. Stories like that are what make me say no thank you. Plus my wife hates the owner at this point. That’s the even harder sell lol.
Preconditions and postconditions around procedures. I thought that it was an innovation from Eiffel, though wikipedia lists Ada as an influence, so maybe it did originate there!
They also don't allow random people to shove something into a box, and then shove that box into the tube.
Even if they aren't spying on people's TOR traffic, it's still useful for spies. The more people are using TOR, the easier it is for them to hide their own traffic alongside it.
I had a VW Diesel where they lied about the emissions.

I otherwise liked the car so I traded for a newer model gas version. 5 years later the sunroof started leaking. I never, ever, use the sunroof, so it could not be misuse/abuse VW denied any responsibility, and I was told a repair might cost 3,000.

A year later, they admitted no fault and settled on a class action lawsuit for the exact problem.

They now offer repairs under warranty if you get the repair done at a dealership.

The catch: the sunroofs are not obtainable anymore. There's months or a year backlog because they can't make enough spare parts to cover the broken vehicles.

They knew this was a problem, the newer model vehicles have a significantly redesigned sunroof
I really have mixed feelings about this. I live in a college town and I see a lot of students using Bird scooters to get to class when they are late, or to their jobs- not daily use, but as needed. Some people will grab scooters and scoot around as a group but that is not very common.

On the other hand, there is almost no management of these scooters. They are abandoned on sidewalks, in streets, tossed into ditches, left in strangers' yards. They get run over. I even saw a Bird scooter "parked" at a collection of trash bags, then- as far as I know- thrown away. Really they were a nuisance as much as a boon as temporary transportation.
On a side note, Meteor always seems like a good idea at the beginning, but I see lots of projects failing with it. It's unfortunate.
Yes, it's more like "the person who went to a state or community college and lives in their parents' house, commuting to save money." Not spending money on housing already cuts down a lot on the money spent on college.
If you were Disney, would you want to continue to drag this out publicly, or would you prefer to hash this out behind the scenes and then announce a resolution?
At one time there was a Stanford course on the subject of General Game Players. The final project was to submit a player and see how it performed on a small set of games described by GDL. These were variations on Backgammon, Othello, and similar, with some rule changes.

While much of the course material survives [1], those rulesets do not. The only GDL example I could find was the somewhat trivial example of Tic Tac Toe, see section 2.6 Tic Tac Toe Game Rules here [2].

An email for Michael Genesereth, teacher of the course, is on the course website. I might shoot an e-mail and see if he has GDL files to share.

My sentiment exactly mirrors yours. I own a 2017 S100D. It has turn signal stalks, and wiper stalks, and has been (and is) a good car. My only complaint is that I hate the HVAC being on touch screen.

New Tesla's are literally worse to my thinking. Would I like more range? Sure, I guess, but truth is that 70% charge on the S is reliably enough range that unless I'm traveling cross country, the car just tops up every night.

I will buy another EV. It's very unlikely to be a Tesla both for their ergonomic design and Elon's very public display of policy positions and opinions that I disagree with.

Google “Tesla supercharger” and you’ll see plenty of pictures of the huge installed base with the brand clearly there.

That being said, if any of these legacy companies who were not willing to invest in a charging network decide they want to finally step up and install some chargers of their own (I’m not holding my breath for any at scale), I’m pretty certain there will be no requirement for Tesla branding. Elon has said he doesn’t give a shit about branding.

It’s more important people
will see the Tesla product and witness the features of Tesla cars first hand.
Do those people think, I don't know.

Consider how willing are companies to pay taxes and high salaries to their employees right now, even when they're wildly profitable. Consider how willing they are to drop prices when there's demand for their goods, despite cost of production may be a small fraction of the sale price.

What makes you think that if they get AI and robots, they'd suddenly want to give everything for free? "It won't be for free" you may say. Oh yes, how are you going to pay them, if robots mark "the end of work"? You work for money. If you have no work, you have no money. "But the government will give us money". Where will they get it from? Companies still will not want to pay taxes. And if the government prints money, they lose purchase power.

It's not the end of work. It's the end for 99.999% of humanity. If you can't provide value back, it's checkmate, folks. You're out.

"But I can provide value. I can use an AI to make myself very productive". What does it mean "use an AI"? You'll tell the AI "do the work"? Your boss doesn't need you to tell the AI that. The boss can say it himself. And eventually the AI will tell it to itself.

What exactly useful function can you perform once an AI is smarter than you, and a robot is stronger and faster and more precise than you? You got nothing. You want to push a button that says "AI, do work" and you think a company will pay you money for this? Of course they won't!

A universe in which machines are more useful than humans in a society, has no humans. We may be lucky enough if the machines leave us a spot on Earth to live by ourselves. For old time's sake.

I've been on the other side of this. I worked for an automotive manufacturer and there was a spectacular no-damage self-acceleration no-brakes-work event.

The manufacturer said they would not comment until there was an investigation.

Internally there was a hilarious amount of gossip.

We the programmers instantly started to wonder who of us made the bug.

Some engineers thought it was impossible. Others lined up the theoretical setup for that to happen.

Turned out the driver faked it ... or so the police report says.
