I hope I dont sound bitter, but most decent graphics engine developers have created renderers that are a couple of generations ahead of the open source GUI toolkit renderers. There are several of us that can truely bring next gen rendering to the open source desktop, however we’re working for gamedev companies (they pay our bills), and we have no time to contribute to open source stacks. If the community can organise a regular budget to pay for such devs, then you’d see a significant rendered snd toolkit updates. Same with other open source apps.
>> It’s often much more productive to ask why than to ask who. In some industries, this is called a “blameless postmortem,” and in aviation, it’s a long-standing, internationally formalized tradition.

If people die in an accident, blameless postmortem shouldn't be the answer but accountability. Otherwise events like the MCAS disaster would be just an "happy accident" with no one to blame.
I apologize in advance for being pedantic, but:

1. Employees of those corporations go to Hell.
2. The notion that corporations are people has no basis in the Bible, so corporations do not go to Heaven nor to Hell.
3. Owners of the corporations seem the most culpable before God, so I would not want to own stock in any corporation that sinned. I can imagine a stock holder arriving at the pearly gates and trying to make excuses that this person had to maximize their investment returns and the lives that were destroyed by the companies they were part owner of were not something they ever bothered to look into.

TL/DT: Everyone here is going to Hell.

The originally published equations were "20 or so" because one equation was written for each scalar component.

Rewriting the equations in vector form reduces the number to the modern number.

Moreover, the original equations are the complete system.

The variant with 4 equations is the simplified variant for vacuum, which is mostly useless, except for the purpose of studying the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in vacuum.

The complete system of equations has around 6 or 7 or even more equations, depending on whether one chooses to have distinct notations for various physical quantities, such as electric polarization, magnetization, current of free electricity carriers etc., or not.

The variants with less equations are simplifications that are valid only in linear media, because only there you have proportionality relationships between quantities like electric field and electric polarization.

Instead of learning a large number of simplified variants of the Maxwell equations with limited applicability, it would have been much better if a manual would present since the beginning the only complete variant that is always true, which must be in integral form, as initially published by Maxwell.

The many simplified variants, for media without discontinuities where differential forms are valid, for stationary media, for linear media, for vacuum and so on, can be easily derived from the general form, while the reverse is not true.
...unless this article is entirely false and fabricated!

Gotcha.
Well, that was fun, I've got headphones on, so I heard it all the way down to 16 Hz sine wave.

Getting a triangle wave with 4n+1 harmonics wasn't easy.
I don’t know when this was turned into a Facebook trope, but I’ve heard it before as an engineer asking “Am I being fired?”, to which the director responds “We just invested four million dollars in your education. You are now one of our most valuable employees!”
> but did not know about scroll-margin-top at all

I used hidden links with `position: relative` and a negative offset to achieve this before. `scroll-margin-top` is a much better solution.
I'd estimate that at least 1/1000 people are capable of running this gauntlet; so in my opinion this is a little pessimistic. That being said, the gentleman is hitting the message like a carpenter in a hurry.

> ... the vast majority of people being leeches ...

Yeah, but unfairly pejorative. Babies and old people are technically leeches too but we love them and shouldn't call them that.

It is fairer to be accurate and say most people don't create much in the way of resources. You can see this play out pretty straightforwardly if you assume a dollar in savings represents about a dollar of value created that wasn't then consumed. Most people struggle to get that metric positive.

That is fine though. Capitalism forces people not to be outrageous resource drains and even tilts the scales in the micro so that someone with no savings still probably made a positive contribution to the overall wealth of the nation.
This is like reading the early chapters of a fiction story about an alternate universe.

What, to you, is the difference between these two situations?

1. One person decides to form a company and has all the shares. After six months, he realizes he should really have worked with a cofounder, so he closes that business and opens a brand new one with this cofounder, the two of them now equally owning half the shares.

2. One person decides to form a company and has all the shares. After six months, he realizes he should really have worked with a cofounder, so he hires a very high level early employee and gives him half the shares.

How does this change based on the number of co-founders/early hires? Why does it make a difference if their need for a new person surprises them, so they start all over with the distribution of the equity of a new "business," or they plan for it in advance and set equity aside for such hires?
> Just so you are aware, it would probably take a lifetime or more to recoup the revenue lost during that outage. But we don’t assign blame

Assuming that’s accurate, it’s a pretty shitty way to put it. “Hey man, just so you know you should owe me for life (and I pay your salary so I decide that), but instead of demanding your unending servitude, I’m going to be a chill dude and let it slide. I’m still going to point it out so you feel worse than you already do and think about it every time you see me or make even the smallest mistake, though. Take care, see you around”.

It’s the kind of response someone would give after reading the Bob Hoover fuelling incident¹ or the similar Thomas Watson quote² and trying to be as magnanimous in their forgiveness while making it a priority that everyone knows how nice they were (thus completely undermining the gesture).

But it’s just as likely (if not more so) the Zuckerberg event never happened and it’s just someone bungling the Thomas Watson story.

From what I have been told, one of the other services supported by the software I used has Bamboozle still, but I haven't tried the others myself yet.

That's interesting, is there a place to read more about it? E.g. how to set it up on Linux and how much does it help with audio.

Most of us cope just fine, so long as the contrast between the states is clearly different. My colour blindness is anomalous trichromacy, with a perception difference for red-green. Because the examples shared are a bright blue for on and black for off, I can see it just fine, however, I'd suggest making the switches off state back ground the same as the main background in this case. Aesthetically, it looks better.
In real life you cannot achieve that level of failure transparency without specifically building your application for it.

If request N goes to server A, then request N+1 from the same session goes to server B, most likely that request will fail because the session does not exist within that server's context.
Oh my, I did think the pricing was a little out of whack. Thanks for the correction.
Running a local LLM - downloading LM studio, installing on Windows, using the search function to search for a popular LLM, click "download", click the button to load the model, chat.

Fine-tuning - obtaining a dataset for your task (this in itself is not trivial), figuring out how the service you linked works (after figuring out that it exists at all), uploading the dataset, paying, downloading the weights - OK, now how do you load them into LM studio?

It's all subjective, of course, but for me there's a considerable difficulty jump there.
wow, that looks fantastic! it looks like you're able to engrave deep enough to cut through thin metal; is that true? how many passes do you need? does it work on aluminum foil, or is that too reflective? how about razor blades? how big is the positioning error, like, what dpi of laser printer is the result similar to? how fast is it, and how much does it cost to run?
Given the alternative, switching to a new protocol, requires much more code changes than fixing bad implements of the old protocol, your argument falls quite flat.
Lack of imagination. The amount of things people think of as impossible is staggering. Staying inside every box they've ever been put in, until they get put in the one that goes in the ground.

Even when it's cheap enough to not switch, but simply fire up a second computer for the cost of some single gaming peripherals.

But this is all why it might seem impossible. The reality is most people don't even want to switch, and the amount that don't even know they could if they wanted to is probably a lot higher than this crowd likely realizes. I do call center work that isn't tech specifically, but we do help with our website. You think people know what a "browser" or an "address bar" is, let alone an operating system (or which one they're using)?
> A tooltip change (warning) to the sharing view would be sufficient to address the concerns that the first page is displaye

No one reasonably expects something to be viewable in any form if you haven't given permissions for it. Having to tell the user about such a thing via a tooltip is just bad UX design.

I also wonder if Google didn't create a footgun for themselves if some genius at Google in the future decides the preview looked better if they showed 2 pages instead of one in some UI's.
With all this AI, why doesn't any web browser (or social media website) use AI to filter likely nudes (real and deep fake) and send them to reviewers?

Tesla focused on FSD almost exclusively and everything in the car's software suffered because of that and stupid decisions to remove hardware.

Autopilot is on a separate branch from FSD, not getting significant updates with the promise that at some point, it'll be merged with the FSD branch and it'll be super awesome - this year for sure, but maybe next year or 10 years after, look we made a robot that's definitely not a guy in a suit and it'll be out in 5 years, maybe 10, it can water plants now!, look a Cybertruck! isn't steel cool, etc

When they switched from Mobileye to their own stack, it noticeably regressed in performance, then they worked to get it to work decently, but dropped the radar during Covid, going all in on Vision, regressing it even further. They promised at that time to at some point match the original Autopilot by reintroducing a distance of 1 and a max speed higher than 140 km/h and it's been 2 years since then with nothing on the front.

Summon/ Smart summon as the guy in the article points out - is great, but doesn't work without USS sensors, which they removed and the functionality is coming back some day, but likely not soon, because it's not a priority. They've been selling cars for more than a year now that don't have that functionality, even though it's in a package worth 4000 euros that gets you basically nothing.

Autopark - same thing, just look at these videos as a comparison - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsb2XBAIWyA&pp=ygUTcnN5bW1vb... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfM8pZS7PFU&t=190s&pp=ygUTcn...

It's easily the worst out of all manufacturers.

In the meantime FSD V11 will be the big one, V12 will finally drop the beta tag, etc, etc things that never happen and the rest of the functionalities just rot away.
Someone get Zuck an above-average-manager award.

But that isn't quite what you want in a blameless culture. The right response looks something like ignoring the engineer, gathering the tech leads and having an extremely detailed walkthrough of exactly what went wrong, how they managed to put an engineer in a position where an expensive outage happened and then they explain why it is never going to happen again. And anyone talks about disciplining the responsible engineer shout at them.

Also maybe check a month later and if anything bad happened to the engineer responsible as a result of the outage, probably sack their manager. That manager is a threat to the corporate culture.

Maybe Zuck did all that too of course. What do I know. But the story emphasises inaction and inaction after a crisis is bad.
Maybe we simply had significantly different experiences? We were involved in many conferences and can definitely say it wasn’t just us.

Everyone I knew in the field was doing the same, Zeldman / ALA was everyone’s hero, UX, accessibility and standards compliance were the highlights of every project, not tooling or frameworks. Not saying everything was perfect but the focus was clearly different.
I like what they have done with the NEXT, but unfortunately I have no nostalgia for ZX Spectrums, I grew up in a BBC Micro household. I do have a +2 in my collection here, but I rarely use it.

Ó nón, cupídinem sció
Yeah my experience has been what we can change about ourselves has a much bigger impact than what we can't. Social proof is vastly more powerful than genetics.

Of those, two are wildly underapprciated: skincare and in-group knowledge. Details matter a ton. It's the opening to American Psycho for crying out loud. These details cannot be produced in an afternoon. They take years if not a lifetime of commitment and are immediately apparent.
I've always found evo psych interesting and it has some very serious scolars, a lot of experiments and predictions, yet a few years ago it used to be very trendy to say it is all bunk and projective stories about human behavior. Also it seems some people are more comfortable with evo-psych when it comments on male-behavior than when it comments on female behavior. I think the entire field is massively interesting.
At one point perhaps people thought that the cost factor would weigh in, but given how many people buy Macbooks to use google docs and watch cat videos, I think it's safe to say that thriftiness is a lost value.
I hope not for my sake! Whatever it is I hope it is more reliable and HELPful. I expect it will be more seamless authentication with more general accessibility. Meaning I hope I feel safer proving who I am to the nurse at the desk without having to open a gadget I can barely focus my eyes on, and that the nurse will have the most up to date info. That’s really all that is missing, sounds easy but it’s a cluster fuck of record management. Note that digitally it is better today than it was 30 years ago.

I think apps will die but not by 2035, probably 2055. Apps are fucking stupid and antithetical to the web IMHO.

Oh and I hope phone trees die a horrible death especially ones that don’t immediately put you through to a human. The biggest pain due to cost savings is not being able to get help via a goddamn phone call that doesn’t go to a call center, or worse: a disconnect at the end of a long tree of number presses.
I really hope the EU doesn't take this lightly and modify the laws accordingly. And if not, I hope Apple ends up split like Standard Oil. - Sent from my iPhone
MicroSaaS is more than just a buzzword [video]
Hey folks!

I've been diving deep into the world of MicroSaaS lately and stumbled upon some insights that felt too good not to share. So, I put together a video discussing why I think MicroSaaS is not just a trend, but a real opportunity for us in 2024. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll find:

Evolving Landscape: I explore how the world of content and entrepreneurship is shifting, making MicroSaaS a key player.

Community First: The idea that building and nurturing a community could be the secret sauce to MicroSaaS success.

Smart Work Over Hard Work: I talk about leveraging technology smartly – a concept inspired by thinkers like Naval Ravikant and Tim Ferriss.

Practical Examples: I've looked into platforms like School.com and their impact on online education and coaching.

The Transparent Journey: Sharing my thoughts on the 'build in public' movement and how it creates a collaborative and engaging experience.

Inclusivity: Regardless of where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, these insights might spark some ideas or offer a new perspective.

Let's Chat: I'm really eager to hear what you all think about this. Agree, disagree, have your own experiences? Let's talk about it!

Here's the Video: MicroSaaS in 2024

Can't wait to hear your thoughts and maybe even debate a bit! Let's learn from each other.

Cheers,

The Quest for Electron LTS
A company that doesn't give you a living wage is indeed screwing you over if they don't make it up elsewhere.

>> A startup only works if you get really motivated people to sacrifice a good portion of their lifetime to work for you.

Either pay them for their work, or take them on as founders with founder level equity. Then you all float or sink together.

Employees who sell their time at low rates with the "hope" that they'll get rewarded on the day of sale (but without an agreement) are, well, bad at business. Hope is not a good strategy.

I completely agree that employees who pour in their time for little salary, and no formal equity, then they are fools.

Incidentally, if you think anything below Fang level salary is "low" then your thinking is too binary. Salaries are a continuum. There's no long long way between making a good living and Fang.
Budget is likely a large contributing factor.

Some people would disagree with dismissing information as non physical. For instance: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=3327 The argument there would be that stuffing an extra bit of information in an information saturated volume would make it collapse into a black hole.

The one place they do seem to care a little is on Chromebooks, but perhaps that's because Google has been utterly shameless in many cases, turning those into paperweights after only 1-2 years. When it doesn't even last through the 4 years of high school they're issued for, it's starting to become bothersome.
It sounds like what they need is a benefactor, someone like Matthew Sheil in Australia who built himself a Boeing 747-400 simulator that cost $300,000.[0] I believe he's building a new simulator that's built around a genuine cockpit that was pulled out of newer 747.

Dave of the EEVblog had covered both simulators on his YouTube channels, they're quite impressive.

This is very much one of those things that the ridiculous right parrots in order to reduce trust in 'the media'.

But the simple truth is that every profession, including journalism, has its rotten apples. But they're a small fraction of the total and in general journalists are the real thing.

>> An eagle, flying past a transformer-looking robot

That hero image is a complete mess (e.g. look at the eagle's forward paw, the "transformer robot"'s right arm or the position of the eagle's left wing).

Why is it that people put up such obviously messed-up images in their articles? Do they not see that level of detail, or do they just find it cool to have some "AI art" in their article, as a kind of an in-group code, like "we use AI"?
In my opinion, the best way to be successful is simply to forget about failure and just keep doing things until they work. 90% of the reason why people don't succeed is because they dwell upon failure instead of thinking the entire process as a learning experience.

That looks like a value inflated by retellings of the popular Thomas Watson quote (see sibling comments).

So secret that it was released to Financial Times, before being amplified by the Guardian, and no doubt the rest of the mainstream press outlets. Creating a media furore is a basic pressure technique used to influence policy of democratic governments. All that is required is a compliant editor willing to run the story, and media herd instinct will take care of the rest.

PS: I leave aside entirely the content of the piece, which in itself is scandalous, my interest is the propagation of dominant stories in the media

Your comment tells more about you than about this conflict.
Probably it should be stated explicitly, but this is implied if you add `-fsanitize=undefined`, where you will get a diagnostic if the unreachable code is reached. With `-fsanitize-trap=undefined`, you get a trap instruction there, the compiler won't delete anything. In a "release build" without sanitizers, this also serves as an optimization hint. It's a sensible idea, this snarky comment is unwarranted.

Also, code after __builtin_trap() is treated as dead.
The context here is clearly US - hint: FBI.

> You can see this play out pretty straightforwardly if you assume a dollar in savings represents about a dollar of value created that wasn't then consumed.

I think this assumption is false to the point it invalidates the results. Because savings is marginal, if the relationship between value and dollars is off by only a little, the delta between net value and savings becomes huge. A good hint this assumption is wrong is if it were true, the value produced by a slave would be zero.
