I assume that's where the idea of taking a legal action comes from, but that should be irrelevant.

If someone asks you not to publish their faces, especially after you were the one to approach them first in the first place, you just do it. Period. All it takes is a single note and 30 seconds of time during editing.
OK, for the sake of discussion, let's say that diversity of the board & exec suites has a null effect, and take a closer look at GP's statement.

That is certainly a vastly different claim vs the extreme negative effect claimed by the GP of "accelerating" everything getting "getting shittier and more dangerous"

He's literally claiming that including people from diverse backgrounds will make things shittier and more dangerous. That is literally the trope of the dangerous black man coming to destroy society. So, yes, thinking about it, I'll go beyond ignorant and call it out as racist. Because if you can say that with a straight face, you really have a deep problem with attitudes about race.
IMHO the only really interesting alternative to Git currently is Pijul (https://pijul.org) as it is not a more-or-less Git clone but a different approach to the problem itself.

Pijul allows for very interesting development and ci/cd workflows.
This is useful. I tried to scan a QR code with my analog camera and it didn't work. Now I can apply this algorithm to the developed photo myself.
I have a RaspPi400 set up as a PS1 emulator (FFVII), and it'll obviously emulate any legacy hardware... but the actual N64 console is prominently displayed on my gamer cabinet, and frequently spawns a late night SmashBro and/or Goldeneye match.

It's both the simplicity [insert cartridge, toggle power on] and the nostalgia [©1996 Nintendo]; I even got an original expansionpak (+4.5MB RAM lol).

This conversation has led me to sell some of the less-social titles [e.g. Conkers] & then invest in an EverDrive64; I'm super-excited to play optimized Mario64 at 41fps [vs OEM 20].
Digital purchasing has gutted consumer rights. Remember when you could sell your used games to other people? Someone buying a digital game/book/movie/album usually has few rights besides consuming the content in question, and even then only until the seller decides they don't want to host the content (or sometimes DRM servers required to run it) anymore. Returns on digital purchases are often impossible (Steam being an exception) as are typical retail niceties like price matching against sales within the return period (e.g. you buy something and it goes on sale the next day).

I don't know what the solution is because a lot of these functions would require complex DRM systems to make a digital product behave anything like a physical one. So legislating to enforce digital consumer rights is effectively legislating for DRM everywhere. The crypto dream of tying every digital good to a token or NFT was effectively an implementation of this kind of DRM using blockchain. However many digital storefronts already implement complex DRM systems, so perhaps at least enforcing some kind of right to return digital goods (including game MTX) would be beneficial.

Hum, our CEO said something along these lines at the last All Hands.
I don't really know where he got that... I always liked my coworkers and I had the chance to have consistently amazing managers, but I still left previous jobs because was bored to death or got a better opportunity career or money-wise.

There are definitely some types that only care about their colleagues and bosses (I talked to one in my team just recently), but that's probably not even the majority. These people probably tend to stay a loooong time so maybe they are more visible to the execs?

I've been at the Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition release event in Berlin. It was held at a Microsoft store with German YouTubers. Head of European Marketing for Xbox was there as well.

They couldn't play a multiplayer game because right at release, the servers were overloaded and the new version did not have a LAN mode at launch.

The whole purpose of the event was to have a kind of LAN / multiplayer gaming with the community and stream it.

Carbon-containing fuels have the problem of either requiring CO2 to be retained on the ship for regeneration, or capture of CO2 from air to close the cycle.

I wonder if metal e-fuels like, say, magnesium could be used. These might be more compatible with direct conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy. Oxidized magnesium could be directly released into the ocean to help reduce its pH. More aggressively: sodium?
> Why hire 10 when 3 could do the same work with AI tooling?

Why hire 3 when you can hire 10 to do the work of 33? It was only a couple of years ago when businesses were boasting "We can't possibly hire enough."

But, of course, there isn't enough money to be made anymore, which is the real reason creative industries are on the decline.
is it incomprehensible to you that "the data says" is a "trust me bro" statement?
Of course they should. The alternative is sending otherwise perfectly capable devices to the landfill.

Companies should be required to release everything a costumer needs to build and use a new update for their own device or software after EOL. This means source code for relevant servers and clients, signing keys, device communication tools, the whole lot.
I doubt anyone in the theft ring is near the car long enough for that to take effect. What's the minimum amount of time you have to be "followed" by the tag before it starts to alert you? These are not being stolen for joy rides or used to commit a different crime. These are probably taken immediately to the staging location by the thief, and then the thief leaves probably for a different car to steal.

I left my FAANG job recently.

Despite having a seed round when I left, which definitely weighted the decision, I pay a very little salary to myself, basically covering health insurance and a bit more, so I burn my savings.

I made sure to have around 2 years of savings (not counting my little salary), so if in 10 months the picture is too bad, I can simply get a new job.

Now, what really made the difference in my decision is:
- You’re the average of the 5 people you hang out the most. My co-founders are great people with a great tracking record and this makes a huge difference
- Learnings. You won’t learn nearly as much about building a business if you continue taking it as a side gig
- we have already a product already generating some revenue. Not huge, but we believe in a great potential
- as I mentioned, the seed round of course changes the perspective
- “if I wouldn’t earn as much, would I stay at my job?”, every time I would think about this, the answer was a big NO! I really didn’t want to live this miserable day to day because of a pay check
- lastly, which is very personal, every time I’d think of memories of my childhood and the “rich kids” friend of mine, none of them had parents that were employees. Even now, every “rich person” I know are entrepreneurs. Sure… the odds are low, but I rather take the risk and live the life I want
This Electrek headline is quite poor. I think the title should be updated to:

> Tesla releases FSD Beta v12 with AI vehicle controls

Which uses the various phrases present in the Electrek article and more concisely gets to the point, without the 'last hope' spin which is tangential and not itself newsworthy.

(I would personally have selected "ML" rather than "AI", but I wanted to try and write a better Electrek headline using their own article's phrases, so AI it is.)
The person above didn’t explicitly say it so I will: you’re a racist.
Healthcare for children is the baseline for a civilized country. It’s not a pro-natal policy. Obviously none of these token gestures towards the idea of pro-natalism have had any effect, and yet immigration has only accelerated.
It's bold to claim that we are limited to our perspective as individual human consciousnesses? I mean, I don't really care what "a million monks, mystics, meditators, artists and hallucinogen enthusiasts" say, no one really has any convincing evidence or argument that such a thing is possible. I say this as a former practitioner of Zen and still a Buddhist today, in fact from a Buddhist perspective what I'm saying is an idea in yogachara philosophy.

Ultimately, I can't think of a less bold claim than "we can't leave our own minds"
Have to disagree. Tech is not getting worse, period.

>"It’s been a minute since we’ve seen anything new from tech that has truly improved most people’s existence."

That's not much to do with the tech getting worse and everything to do with how the tech is being applied.

Search sucks! Why? The focus is on profit. Someone connected a thermometer and found that the users are basically stupid, so why bother anything that requires effort.

Amazon bad, bad, bad. But nothing to do with bad tech, it's all in how it's being applied.

Yes, he does make the same point, even to profit being the driver. But the overriding message here is tech is shit, and that's not so. People are.

Bankruptcy does not necessarily mean everything is gone. Deleting everything is actually the _worst_ outcome as it destroys value.

Not having any promise means it will pretty sure be gone. Having a support promise increases the chances of future support, even in case of bankruptcy.

Probably not, if it was painful they would have done it everywhere. Since now they have to maintain two configurations, linked and unlinked.

Another point of good fortune was the altitude. Since the aircraft was still climbing, everyone was sitting down and wearing seatbelts.

At cruising altitude, people would have taken off the seat belts, started moving around the cabin and got sucked out due to extreme pressure differential.

All in all this was the most favourable outcome.

Eh, it’s been fast in the real world for quite a while. I think it’s due to two main things:

1) Startup time had to be fast because of how it worked in its most common use case (yes, yes, FPM, but still) which tends to encourage or require making everything fast.

2) Writing C modules for PHP is relatively easy and it has a culture of anything halfway important being in C, going back to the early days of the language. The answer for how to be really fast with real-world workloads in almost every scripting language is basically “get out of it and into C ASAP” but PHP’s culture embraces that more than most.
> Taking a weekend to learn the data structures, and how everything fits together is not a hard ask. Especially since you literally only have to do it once in your entire career.

Like all simplifications, this is false. If all you do for years after is commit, push, merge, you'll forget.

Especially since you'll need those brain cells to learn the new CPU/GPU architecture, the new JavaScript framework, the new corporate security policy, the docs from your internal architecture team, etc.

Nobody's life revolves around intricate VCS details.

> But since in most cases I don't care about destruction so long as it happens

But you might want to care about where in the code the destruction happens. This is quite normal in a low level language. Of course I do agree that it should be easy to avoid leaking resources, but static analysis can ensure this in most cases as you point out.
Yeah, the LoRA part is from scratch. The LLM backbone in this example is not, this is to provide a concrete example. But you could apply the exact same LoRA from scratch code to a pure PyTorch model if you wanted to:

E.g.

class MultilayerPerceptron(nn.Module):

def __init__(self, num_features, num_hidden_1, num_hidden_2, num_classes):
super().__init__()

self.layers = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(num_features, num_hidden_1),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(num_hidden_1, num_hidden_2),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(num_hidden_2, num_classes)
)

def forward(self, x):
x = self.layers(x)
return x

model = MultilayerPerceptron(
num_features=num_features,
num_hidden_1=num_hidden_1,
num_hidden_2=num_hidden_2,
num_classes=num_classes
)

model.layers[0] = LinearWithLoRA(model.layers[0], rank=4, alpha=1)
model.layers[2] = LinearWithLoRA(model.layers[2], rank=4, alpha=1)
model.layers[4] = LinearWithLoRA(model.layers[4], rank=4, alpha=1)
Yeah, I can’t see how use of a —-force flag by people who didn’t know what they were doing is enough of a reason to switch to a different VCS (let alone write one). The issue was people using a tool in a way that they shouldn’t have. Which isn’t a technical problem, but a training problem. You can’t fix people problems with technology, so I’m sure there will be other footguns in this new system that someone else will figure out how to almost lose data.

Git is great in that it is flexible and powerful. But that power leaves some tools open to people who don’t know what they are doing… that’s the trade off.

(Now something that better handles non-code assets and large data files, I’d be much more willing to listen to that pitch.)
Everything's a tradeoff. Zig's insistence on banning hidden control flow does force you to write destructors, yes. But that has led to the Zig standard library (and wider idiomatic culture) having standard allocators as parameters. So in practice you can just choose an arena allocator and stop worrying about cleaning things up yourself.

And that's how insignificant the costs of cloud providers are in the grand scheme of things. It's a lot of money to a bootstrapping startup, but for the vast majority of these cloud providers' customers, it's a rounding error that's easily forgotten for 3 years.

And that's precisely why you and your little bootstrapper or indie firm should not be using globocloud: you do not have mountains of cash to piss away. Bare metal is trending again. And in this downturn, it's no wonder why. Smaller companies are getting smarter and more efficient. They've decided to chase money instead of cargo cults.

Globocorps burning cash on globocloud is not a signal for small fish to do the same - it's a signal to do the polar opposite. You're not going to become like them by copying what they're doing now. It will not work for you. Globocloud isn't successful because they shovel cash into AWS's shredder, they shovel cash into the shredder because they're successful.
If there is no string concatenation operator (for run time), how do you concatenate strings at run time with Zig?

Depends on what you work on, I guess, but in my area of expertise string operations like concatenation are bread-and-butter.
But they are the only ones with physical access to the container. Obviously it requires some cooperation between the two agencies, and the lack of cooperation is what is being criticized.

The flip side of this is most societies’ model citizens are highly compliant, possibly even supplicant. Entire categories of rudeness are, in essence, about not challenging authority and convention.
> I know it might seem unhinged at first

Not "unhinged". Most kids these days get their first introduction to computer programming using of of the many "block coding" environments, almost all of which are straightforward recapitulations of Javascript under the hood. And it works, and it avoids the problem of having to teach them how to deal with syntax errors before you teach them imperative logic.

The reason people don't do this is that it's just a bad idea. The fact that all source code is stored in a universally understood data format with pervasive support across decades of tools is a feature and not a bug. How do you grep your AST to see if it's using some old API that needs to be refactored? Surely you'll answer that you use your fancy AST grep tool, which is not grep, and thus works differently for every environment. Basically every environment now has to have its own special editor, grep, diff, merge, etc... Even things like documentation generation and source control rely on files being text. And you're throwing all that out just to be different.

Also, FWIW: it's optimizing the wrong part of the problem anyway. The total cost to an organization that develops and deploys software of any form is overwhelmingly dominated by tasks like debugging and documentation and integration. The time spent actually typing correctly-formatted text into your editor is a vanishingly small fraction of software development, and really that's all this helps.
