Before that though, it already felt like a lot of those outlets - blogs, SO, comment sections - were either bot or low-value, almost automatic comments. And of course, low wage content writers who get paid by the word to write "where do I find this item" guides for video game websites, somehow managing to change "it's in this chest in this region" to ten paragraph articles.

It'd be neat if the software was opensource and you could point this device at your own LLM, then at least you'd have some assurance it won't be e-waste if the company shuts down.

But I don't see a world where you can feasibly support the required infra of providing LLMs for your users with only hardware sales as a revenue stream. Their website specifically calls out that there is no subscription fee, so either they'll introduce one later or something else will need to be the other source of revenue.
I’ve owned several EVs (though not at this particular moment) and generally think they’re terrific. But I agree with several other posters - the typical scenario where I’m renting a car is exactly the one where EVs’ current shortcomings are most prominent.

Plus I can really only think of two types of vehicles that I’d ever want to rent - either an econobox to get me from point A to B to C in an area underserved by Uber/Lyft where I could not care less about what I’m temporarily driving, or a convertible. I guess maybe also an SUV - but in any event, those three categories are (as far as I am aware) just not yet well matched by any EVs on the market.
I'm pretty sure the ads displayed on my Kindle are all for AI generated children's books lately. It's actually kind of fun looking at them to find the AI generated artifacts (e.g little girl building snowman has three fingers, etc.) Not sure who's actually buying these things...
Bending Spoons also owns Evernote, which has been thoroughly enshitified. This doesn't sound good for Meetup.

I'm not saying everyone has the same story as me, and I'm also not saying that social media has no role in depression/anxiety. I'm saying the talking point "girls' mental health is in the toilet because they're obsessed with selfies" is speculative and condescending, ignoring more serious issues that teens are struggling with, and it's valid to offer a first-hand perspective as a counterbalance to that.
The old "this time it's different" trope strikes again.
If we're really nitpicking...

In Europe and UK, an ATP is only required for those flying as pilot-in-command (i.e., captain) of a multi-pilot airplane for air transport purposes.

In the US after a crash in 2009, ATP or R-ATP is required for all scheduled air transport flights, but that is not all commercial flights. Ironically, that crash was flown by two ATP holders and so this requirement change would not have helped.

In both cases, a CPL is a prerequisite for the ATP (ignoring military hacks and some MPL stuff).

Labor force participation being high does not mean people are making enough money to be comfortable.
> Unions make sense if the employers have the ability to exploit the workers.

This is an overly narrow definition, so I label it is largely incorrect.

Think of it this way: society involves dynamically-shifting power balances. To the extent the goals of a society include:

(a) standardizing certain rights and norms

(b) providing checks and balances so the powerful have less temptation and ability to exploit the less

We don't want to rely on only one mechanism to achieve (a) and (b). Sure, we want healthy markets and skilled workers. We also want workers who have enough flexibility to change industries and to move geographically. But we also want effective regulation. And we ALSO want organizations that can directly advocate on behalf of workers.

> So unions are of little use anymore, except for perhaps using the power they have to exploit employers.

This statement is silly and ignores the realities I've seen. Sure, a union left to its own devices might be tempted to push too far. But given the dynamic one tends to see in western economies, there is always some kind of negotiation with the associated corporation. Such negotiation is quite similar to parties in the legal system hashing it out. Both may start off far apart but the negotiation tends to lead towards compromise. In the United States, unions that push to far face public backlash and even Presidential action.

I'm not making any dogmatic claims here. I'm simple rejecting overly simplistic arguments against unions. I will readily accept that unions are not silver bullets and there are documented cases of corruption and misaligned incentives. But the solution is not to argue that the notion of a union is useless. The intellectually honest solution is to seek achievable solution in the mess that is the real world. I laugh at people who aren't even trained economists who interpret their models as some kind of reality -- or worse, some kind of normative specification.

Very few dogmatic claims pro- or anti- union survive contact with reality.
The difference is I'm not out here making grandiose statements, acting like I do know.
We don't have a constitution, you mean a change of legal precedent. I agree that's its and awful precedent to set. But it's already been done with Parliament declaring Rwanda safe, changing convictions doesn't seem so beyond the pale. I'm honestly not sure what else to do about it though. The sheer scale of incompetence and cover up in the post office and the software company will likely take years to sort through. Can the victims really wait that long? What is the alternative? Having everyone convicted file an appeal? After everything they've already gone through? Frankly, just wiping the slate clean and getting rid of all the convictions seem like the good move to me.
Total real wages have gone up, while median real wages have stagnated.

Your 62.5% labor force participation rate only aligns with the past if you completely discount women's unpaid and unaccounted work in the home and elsewhere. The male labor force participation rate has declined from around 90% to around 68%.

Thanks to our glorious new economy instead of basically everyone getting a house, spouse, and kid, now many will rent, work and die.

I was ultimately disappointed in HTML5 even though it was supposed to bring HTML into this era, with things like audio/video tags and new input methods for phone numbers and the like for mobile users. But ultimately it fell flat, was incomplete, and it feels like it's been stagnant again since HTML5 came out.
I love that some 20-30 years after that famous chat somebody still fell for it.

Well, how the Post Office commissioned the Horizon system is something that the inquiry doesn't seem to have got to yet.

From what I've seen of the inquiry (not much), Post Office managers seem to have been desperate to protect the reputation of the Horizon system, and still are. But the miscarriages of justice have now been exposed, and the costs of putting them right are now unavoidable; so the reputation of Horizon can't now be just a matter of subpostmasters.

My guess is that defects in Horizon, and damage to Horizon's reputation, will turn out to affect much more than the wronged subpostmasters. I suspect that some very large commercial contracts will turn out to be affected, and paying compensation to the subpostmasters will turn out to be a tiny component of the costs of this catastrophe. The Post Office is already warning that it may not be able to pay the compensation, and that the government will have to step up.

The Post Office is a weird mess of subsidiaries and holding companies, and has contracts with all sorts of 3rd parties. I anticipate that we are going to witness a slooow explosion of the Post Office, over like ten years. It's ludicrous, of course, that a private company should be able to be complainant, investigator and prosecutor as well as being sole custodian of the evidence (Horizon logs).

It's also ludicrous that the Post Office's lawyers, Cartwright King, should describe requests for disclosure as a "fishing expedition". Defendants shouldn't have to request disclosure of evidence that might help the defence; that is an obligation that falls on the prosecution as a matter of statute law.

I'm waiting for the inquiry to find out how the Horizon system was commissioned, and how it was tested; and who was in charge of commissioning.
It's unfortunate that in most of the discussions about him, the focus tends to be on him, and little is said about the hundreds of thousands who rot in prison based on similar corrupt practices.

Nice, you pulled out the "but think about disabled people" tactic, that's usually a conversation ender. Unfortunately, that's not who they are selling this $1000 device that mimics the existing capabilities of a phone to, based on their marketing.
Which is neither here nor there, since I din't claim that it is true.

We all know that "starboard" and "port" refer to a ship's right and left, respectively, when facing forward. But it used to be that the "left" word was "larboard". That's close enough to "starboard" to cause a lot of confusion, leading to the change to "port".
I mean, real wages have stagnated or declined over the past 50 years.

Sure, we're eating more food, but it's increasingly garbage. Yes, we have more education, but the quality has gone down and is really only a response to the barriers to entry that have increased for most professions. It does seem travel has increased and new houses are bigger, but these seemed to be aligned to a particular class of person. I doubt the middle class is doing much of that. Perhaps the increase in income in equality is reflected by a larger upper class skewing those metrics.

I myself have stated I feel bringing tech to the tech illiterate is usually a mistake because those people are largely a security hazard to any large IT enterprise. Teaching dumbasses to use tech is how exactly how even a DECADE after The iloveu bug emailing malware to huge corporations members and spear phishing them with chained malware was how most companies got hit because its next to impossible to teach John over there in marketing not to at least ask his fellow workers if they really sent that email before downloading every attachment and executing it as well as every Excel spreadsheet that demanded you enable macros and enabling them. For OVER A DECADE, phishing emails with chained malware were how companies got hit because the tech illiterates refused to learn.

Like, when you let the morons in, they become a Security Hazard.

But if this device, can keep tech illiterates, from using and interfacing with the tech we need to secure, All the better.

You are wrong and the vast majority of people are making the association.

The author seems to be on the fence regarding this device, although there are some subtle clues in there that he may be _leaning_ towards not liking it. They're hard to spot though.

It does beg the question of why it's implemented in hardware though, and not just an app on your phone.
I understand that, but why? You can write the entire thing in Django alone and use Hotwire and not use any JavaScript to begin with.
It's not clear to me that 70 is so very significantly slower than 78. That's a 10% difference. Both speeds are unsafe in inattentive or adverse conditions and safe in attentive nonadverse ones.
As someone who has IntelliJ open right now for some project work, and uses vi on a regular basis (but not skilled at it)... I use Emacs regularly. Literally, 5 minutes ago I opened a couple files in Emacs, right next to IntelliJ, because it was the better tool for the job I needed to do with them.

I'm not really in the know, but I bet the enterprise discounts don't kick in until you're at the tens of thousands of users. In any case, $60k sounds like a lot as a top-line figure to some bean-counter, but all these sales pitches follow the same basic pattern:

- This is an essential, best-in-class tool. You wouldn't deny your employees a laptop or a free lunch, would you?

- $5/user/mo is a bargain compared to the hassle of building/hosting this yourself, punching holes in your firewall every time you need to receive a webhook, dealing with security and auth issues.

- $60k is half the cost of someone you don't need to hire on your in-house IT team. Does it make sense yet?

Dust mite allergens are huge compared to all the PM2.5 crud that air filters mostly worry about. Almost any filter will remove dust mite allergens that actually get in the filter.

Try the usual low-tech stuff: wash bedding in hot water. Encase your mattress and pillows in appropriate material (very fine mesh or a membrane — there are products sold for this exact purpose, and mattress spill protectors work too). Wash those protectors occasionally in hot water as well.

Fit a HEPA filter on your vacuum and vacuum regularly. Wear a mask while cleaning.

Also, dust mites need quite high relative humidity to grow and moderately high RH to even survive. This is relative humidity where the dust mites are. So if you can arrange to keep any rugs and carpets that you have warm, they will have lower RH and fewer dust mites.
I used to keep doom distribution around solely for magit and missed it a lot since it's the best git client by far and large.
These days, thankfully there's lazygit around which, although not integrated directly in the editor and although not as good as magit, covers the need for a decent terminal-based git client with vim-like controls.
That's the neat thing about phones. You can program them to interact with you via touch and voice(and even camera in apps like Google lens) without having to purchase a new piece of hardware dedicate to accessibility.
I can do my job equally well in-person or remotely, but that's because I don't connect to my team. I started here before the pandemic and we never really clicked in a way that made in-person collaboration happen.

Whereas in my previous role, going remote would have had a negative effect, because we liked talking to each other and working with each other. I believe that on that team our online communication would have been more and better-quality than what I have now, but still less collaborative than in-person.

I would say this is somewhat true for "mostly software-contained" ideas, meaning things that don't take external domain knowledge besides software engineering

There is still plenty of things in multi-domain fields (software engineering + something else), like biotech. But being multi domain makes the barrier to entry MUCH higher for the main startup class of people (software engineers coming out of uni or big tech)

Even closed platforms like FB is dogshit now.

Click on any story, and the comment section is 80% bots. Doesn't mater if it's serious users like NYT, CNN, or whatever.

I've also noticed a huge uptick in spammy pages and groups that pump out AI generated pictures and stories, with nothing but bots upvoting and commenting the content.

These days I only use FB for private hobby groups, and messenger to talk with friends and family.

You may be interested in looking at the current Taulbee survey[1] - it surveys PhD granting CS and CE programs and collects MS and BS degree numbers as well.

I also found [2] that shows "computer and information science" graduates having a higher-than-average unemployment rate than other degrees. In 2018.

My anecdotal experience over the last 15 years as a person on the hiring side of the table is that my organization has received multiple qualified applicants for our open positions, several of who are almost always new CS grads looking for their first job. And my organization is in an area with multiple companies that hire software engineers and we typically pay somewhat below market. That experience makes me question if there is now (or even has been in that 15 years) an actual shortage of candidates for these types of jobs.

The cost of living has risen faster than wages, which have have stagnated except for those who are either in the C-suite or making their money primarily through capital.

Meetup has historically been a great resource for technology events in my area… but I've found they've become quite "needy" lately. They tried to gamify joining/attending meetups, which leads to a lot of email noise. Maybe some people want to be in 100 meetup groups and attend a meetup every day of the week? But I doubt it's most users. They've also started showing "special offers". You often need to click through them to actually do what you came to the site to do.

I understand that Meetup was likely really hurt by the pandemic, but I hope this new leadership can find a way to make interacting with service fun again. It currently feels rather skeezy.

EDIT: As noted below, Bending Spoons also bought Evernote and that hasn't gone well. So, this might be a great space if someone is looking to compete!
But we don't have to search for those keys in all of the deposits that CM ever made - only in the ones that stopped churning and mixing. Maybe they try to control the dynamics of their lots to be statistically indistinguishable from the withdrawals - but that requires a vastly larger pool of capital and continuous operational effort, and I have a hunch they do not in fact do that.

Furthermore, if you are a client, how long are you willing to keep your money in private keys that you know CM also has? Even if you don't mistrust them, you still need to worry about the exact scenario that happened - they get busted and all their private keys get seized. So chances are those amounts leave the CM network of addresses pretty quickly, even if they don't get added up in a single address. So now all that combinatorial explosion drops down to a pretty tractable k-NN classification problem.

I would advise against making strong statements like "logically impossible" about things that seem to require a lot of very narrow conditions like perfect actor behavior and strong stationarity in order to be true.
The parent comment talked specifically about workforce participation being low.
As she outlines in the article:

"Adenovirus infection statistically increases the risk of obesity quite a bit more than eating sugar, refined carbs, not exercising, or eating too much omega-6 fat. However, stacking all of those reasons together likely adds up to quite a bit of weight gain as well. There is no simple answer, but rather is a complex picture of multiple reasons for weight gain."

But it is not a given that the scope of the problem eventually exceeds what HTMX is capable of. It is perfectly fine to set HTMX aside and choose another framework if you feel that it better suits the problem at hand. Meanwhile there is still a ton of projects for which HTMX is more than enough (and always will be). So what you are mentioning is not an issue of HTMX, but one of "chosing the right tool for the problem".
The fact the Vision Pro is passthrough VR instead of an AR screen on glass (as in when the battery is dead you see black, not see the room with no AR) says that it's far away.
