Which is silly. I have worked in infra my whole career and just one of my job duties is to know what every single team is working on and shipping to provide operations guidance/support and to anticipate and be ready for risky changes.

It's so much easier now that we're remote-first. I'm in all their Slack channels, I can see and search every conversation the team has and I can teleport into all their stand-ups and read the transcript after if I miss it.
There's actually a "Patient-contributed data" initiative being run by the standards body (HL7) that's gaining traction.
In an ideal world it would allow patients to "push" their electronic records to a new practitioner, meaning that intake forms could be much simpler. In practice I think the implementation is going to start with Observations/Lab Results first though.

I hope to eventually support it with my open source personal health record (PHR) Fasten Health. IMO this would be a "killer app" for PHRs.
Most the statistics cut off at ~200-300+k income catch all bucket which drowns out the rich averages. See my source above capturing higher income buckets which pronounce the U.

Near equal (higher) fertility at both extremes might be, but not proof of, the hypothesis the dirt poor and filthy rich are the fertility rate you get when opportunity cost looks near 0.

A bucket you often see stopping at 300+k imo far too low as the lower band of that is usually high stress highly educated long hours professional and small biz owners who have insane opportunity cost to have children.
The mangement had several years to collect data. Maybe they checked the numbers and found that, yes, people on average are less productive when working from home.

Is that surprising or unexpected somehow?
Shared passwords place you at risk if any of serval services are hacked. Password managers provide similar convenience with a smaller attack surface.

I’ve defaulted to picking random passwords for most services which I don’t bother to remember instead using password resets. But it’s inconvenient.

Do you hear yourself, when commenting on a bill that is a ban in an area of 21 million people?

Hey, I think this bill is bad and should be legislated at the county level. I'm now more conservative than you.
Energy is another increased problem. You need a lot more solar panels, and likely batteries, to supply the same energy as you get in lunar orbit. At least one order of magnitude more mass.
But you can have one floating macOS window (for your workhorse app) and then infinite other visionOS and iPadOS windows. For me, that’s good enough, most of my other monitors are just Safari tabs or something that can be replaced with iPad apps anyway. Anyway the fact that you can continue to use your phone with the headset on means you could theoretically use another computer with external monitors for desktop apps while having lots of extra virtual space for iPad/Safari apps.
Not really. Just like Tesla, you cannot use Deere' self driving system without someone there looking for safety issue. Musk's is clearly better at detecting and avoiding hazards - at least they try, while John Deere admits the system doesn't even try, it will just drive a line and if something is there kill it. The difference is John Deere's system is for use in a field where there is essentially never anything to hit/kill in the first place unlike roads where pedestrians and other cars could be in the way, so Tesla has a lot harder problem.

Not speaking for Deere here.
A lot of this has to do with parents' choices. Specifically, choices in where to live and how to raise their kids. It's still plenty possible to enable free, and free-ish playtime in the US, but teaching kids to respect risk has to begin young.

I live in a top 10 city -- San Jose -- with crazy commute traffic up and down the peninsula. But we chose to raise our kids on a two block long street with a church at one end and a park at the other. We get very little through traffic and they play outside largely unsupervised. As they get older, they bike to school independently, to their neighborhood schools (.75mi elementary, 1.2mi middle/high). When they're K-3rd, I bike with them to teach them safety rules. The older ones in middle & high school are on their own, commuting back & forth including staying after school for sports practices and events. We did buy them phones in 6th grade for our benefit, but I generally feel like by age 10 they're able to make pretty reasonable decisions on their own about most things, and know when to ask if they're unsure.

It's critical, imho, for parents to focus on things like this in the early years because by the time kids are in middle & high school they're going to naturally start becoming more independent and must be able to assess situations and make smart decisions (or make stupid decisions and learn from them). Too much restriction on play and independence ultimately results in incomplete development, which can have cascading effects as adolescents transition into adulthood.
Auditing your own code doesn't help if you have a blindspot. You will miss it while developing and auditing.

> Everyone who is able will want to take a look.

This is not true. Auditing is very skill intensive and time intensive. There needs to be compensation for it either direct (you pay for professional auditors) or indirect (you're an academic and you get reputation and grants for breaking WPA3, SGX, Mega or SIKE, or fame for breaking the PS3).

You can easily get in a situation with "The Emperor has no clothes" where everyone thought open-source code must have been audited by someone because it's open, when in fact no one did because they didn't care or had no incentives.

Once you become proficient at something, it's likely you don't need basic questions answered, and that leaves advanced to hard problems.

I think the analogy could be as follows: arguably most software companies could be powered by a dozen of really talented senior Common Lisp programmers. However when choosing a software stack for a company you have to consider how easy it is to hire and retain such developers vs hiring hundreds of average Java or Python or Rust programmers.

I think about this frequently while using my AirPods. It's annoying that we're all becoming accustomed to spending anywhere from like $130 to $250 on in-ear headphones that aren't guaranteed a particularly long lifespan, to replace wired headphones that an acceptable quality pair can be had for like $15.

But I'll be damned if the AirPods experience isn't far more convenient, and has me using them more than I ever did with wired headphones because they're so quick and easy to use. I can pop one in an ear and immediately I'm listening to a podcast while doing laundry. No cord tethering my head to my pocket, nothing to get snagged on a doorknob, it just works. When I pull one out of my ear it pauses, and resumes when I put it back in. When you only have one AirPod in, it knows and automatically converts the audio stream to mono so you still hear everything.

Still would be nice to have the 3.5mm jack back, but I certainly haven't felt a desire to go back to wired headphones since I got AirPods.
Unfortunately, in my experience, as the chat session advances it seems to forget these instructions and become its old apologetic self again.
> does anyone really find RTO surprising?

Yes, because if you can avoid it, it makes a lot of financial sense to not have office space, cafeteria, coffee, parking space, electric bills, water, cleaning and heating. You can save ton of money by asking everyone to stay at home.

Then there's the flexibility. Our customers got a lot more flexibility when we where all at home everyday. If we had some afternoon migration, install or upgrade and it ran a little long, then no problem, I'm already home, so an additional 30 minutes doesn't matter much.
How does this compare to BuildJet?

But yes, I'm willing to take the bet.
Of course. The bridge still needs to be built, with all it's on-ramps and off-ramps. That's where all the current excitement and "innovation" is right now. I don't think software development as a profession is disappearing tomorrow, or anytime soon. But I do think it signals the peak.
> at a reasonable speed like 30.

Hitting a kid at 30 is going to cause some harm. I don’t think that 30 is a good compromise.

They are rare where I live but street layouts which promote better driving would help. They have low/no kerbs and wind through planting etc to keep speed down.

However this messes up a commute to work, so unfortunately it’s not a perfect solution.

Thanks for the comment.

Being a good manager starts with a desire to experiment and constantly change processes to improve your team's happiness and productivity. So the 'good' manager should be able to make both work?

With RTO, however, there is A LOT more wasted time. With all that extra time walking to meetings, water cooler conversations, and the busywork of running an office I can definitely see how bad managers and employees can hide more.
I think I've just been doing this for a long time.
a videoconfering system that is reliable and easy to use is essential to remote management. You need to have as little friction as possible to propose a 1-1 or a 15 min roundtable to quickly brainstorm something orally.

Then you need remote "telemetry", meaning access either to chat messages, email, tickets, etc. and a way to process it at scale (without reading everything) in order to defuse sticky situations based on partial infos or misunderstandings. Such tools can be panopticon-y so you need to explicitly specify which convos "spaces" are private and which are subject to management interference.
Good PSA, but to be fair: It's a blog and not a big publication with professional editors, which themselves tend to make more egregious errors (Malcolm Gladwell's "Igon Values" comes to mind).

I'd be more worried if I read a technical article about "silicone wafers." This is ultimately a human interest piece.
Congrats on the launch. Looks interesting. Quick thoughts on the landing page:

- Pricing looks awesome.

- I'm not currently the target audience because everything I'm doing right now is open source with free GitHub actions.

- I'm left wondering what the catch is / why it's cheaper and faster.

> Ubicloud is an open source cloud. Think of it as an open alternative to cloud providers, like what Linux is to proprietary operating systems. You can self-host Ubicloud or use our managed service.

I find this hard to parse and the first few times I thought you were saying it's a linux alternative. I just clicked to the docs and the "What is Ubicloud?" section is clearer because you say concretely and directly what it is rather than how I should think of it metaphorically: "infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) features on providers that lease bare metal instances, such as Hetzner, OVH, and AWS Bare Metal. It’s also available as a managed service."

There's some old "counterintuitive" adage I'm too lazy to look up about how the best marketing to engineers is just saying in concrete language what it is rather than the benefit it provides. In this case, I'd do both: tell me what it actually is and why that makes it cheaper/better. Also a minor note, there's a typo in that paragraph (missing space "systems.Ubicloud").
Getting the signature and the file from the same place is questionable practice in itself. If the place is hacked, then all the hacker needs to do is to just hash his own file, which has happened in at least one high profile case [0]. And this practice doesn't even offer any extra protection if the resource was accessed with HTTPS in the first place.

I'm not familiar with DNSSEC. What sis the impact of this? Do web pages fail to load or is it just some security warning? Also was this just someone failing to update a cert in time or is this some sort of hack?

For me, it's just constant cable news cycle clutter on my home page. At least with cable TV I could change the channel to Food Network and all I would see was Food Network stuff. With Youtube, even though 90% of what I watch is cooking content and travel shows, every time I launch that app on my TV there's a high chance the recommended carousel on the first screen I see will be full of violence overseas, suffering refugees, crime, etc. Even when my recommended carousel is only full of stuff I actually watch, YouTube will simply insert another row of videos titled [Outrageous News Topic of the Day].

And just like you, I'm sitting down to eat dinner. It makes me, sad? Hard to say what the emotion is. But I feel something when I sit down at the end of a day to watch content I like on a device I own, the only content I ever watch on a platform I subscribe to, and I am forced to see violent, emotionally outrageous, troublesome thumbnails instead because some metric says that for someone statistically "good number go up get performance bonus" if everyone gets that shoved in their face. Oh, you want to relax and watch SortedFood? No - you will feel rage, you will feel sorrow, you will feel stress, YouTube demands it of you. This specific word is hyperbole, but I feel abused by big tech these days.
This was totally my experience. I’ve had office environments where no real work got done until after lunch for a lot of people.
Not really, the privately owned stock is divided into privatized rentals (often in condo like associations) and houses. Afaik Houses are free to own (but outside of Germans wanting vacation homes there hasn't been much of an outside influx), most condos on the other hand requires you to have your official residence there (an association might grant temporary rentals but most associations frowns upon too long term rentals and the exceptions are often granted on a yearly basis).

There's other issues though (see my sibling post to GP)
Since the time of the cannon shot is unknown, only the time when it can be heard at a known location, you can't even pinpoint its unknown origin in space to a circle. Instead, the range of possibilities forms a cone in spacetime (exactly like the lightcone of electromagnetic waves, except with sound and also treating space as two-dimensional for simplicity).

The intersection of two such cones is a parabola. The intersection of the third cone with the plane containing said parabola gives another parabola that can intersect the first one in zero, one, two or an infinite number of points. In the zero-point case, you could still find the location where the two parabolas are closest.

(Or you could forget about geometry, define an objective function and do gradient descent to it.)
Anecdotally, I know a few other Amazon people who have decided to effectively quiet quit / just do their jobs and risk the pip because of senior management's lack of care.
Yeah, RBAC and ACLs kind of suck at enterprise levels. Organizing roles and privileges hierarchically helps to somewhat manage the complexity, but hierarchies have their own issues.
> if they don't do their job during that time the farm looses all their income for the year.

That's exactly why farmers push for right-to-repair. The old model of "each farmer can repair their tractor, or at least jury-rig it to work for a week" was much more scalable than John Deere somehow having enough staff and service partners to handle anything that goes wrong in those couple of weeks, and then having these people mostly idle the rest of the year.

Of course at the same time newer tractors are much more capable, and allow a farmer to be much more efficient. But for a country it's also somewhat risky to put a large part of their food supply behind a single point of failure

NASA isn't doing anything here but providing the platform for the instrument.I mean, that's a lot but they are not the one in charge of running the instrument. The science teams are. GPR is a complex topic and *maybe* these signals contain the information that they think they do, but it's unlikely in my opinion.
Great observation. It's not inherently the street or urban/suburban design that changed, something else has changed.
The whole drumbeat from OpenAI has always looked like using regulation to create a moat out of thin air.

They can only operate as such because the state turns a blind eye. It is no coincidence that they tend to be hired by parties that have tremendous political influence, act much like private police, and have an extremely cozy relationship with the actual police.

attempts to take over our creatively-functioning brain

I wonder if you are underestimating the extent to which the limitations and design decisions baked into computers and software (and into analog tools before them!) have always shaped our creative processes.

For me, AI code assistants have greatly accelerated my creativity as an engineer. Because they help with boilerplate (and sometimes even have an idea worth considering) they allow me to explore more ideas in less time.

This was very apparent to me when doing the "1 billion row challenge" that folks were talking about a few weeks back. I was able to rapidly try out probably a dozen approaches before finding a well-performing one.

(Now, it must also be said that the gnarly micro-optimizations in the fastest solutions were clearly achieved "by hand." And I would also point out that ChatGPT/Copilot lead me down a few dead ends as well. But over all, a big win for me)

What's key to me about AI code assistants is that they augment my engineering work. I am still writing code, I still need to understand everything, the architecture ideas are still mine.
Does your screen even support 24bit colors?

If unsetting COLORTERM fixes the display problem then it is a program issuing 24bit colors but the terminal (in your case screen) not understanding the escape sequences.
Yeah, I honestly hadn't thought about those statements in quite a while. Thanks for bringing them back to mind. It makes me ponder whether they had a very rough, early prototype of an FPV display device at that time, and if so, what that looked like. The interviewer briefly mentions what was available at the time, which Steve calls "lousy", so it could also be that he was more fascinated by the inherent concept.

As is often the case, I'd give a lot for companies such as Apple to be more open with their ancient prototypes once a new device gets launched. Sometimes brands, such as Microsoft[0] in the console field showcase iterative prototypes or even produce full-on documentaries of their history, but rarely for new device categories.

I understand why that's not possible, but still, one can dream.

That’s good to know, I did think that if I’m walking under the powerlines along the road, I’m probably within an easement.

And believe me, I wish we could move, but we are currently priced out of anything else in our town. Our kids are at an age where they do not want to switch schools but as soon as they are all graduated, we will be looking.
I appreciate that. As someone with a hobby making software, I can see the need for hiring at some point but I don't even know where to start. Do you just look up one online and call and say "I got a nasty letter, will you be my attorney"? Is there some kind of ongoing subscription cost to keep being "my attorney" or just pay per hour when you have an issue?
