One thing I've never seen work well is on boarding grads with no work experience.

During COVID I onboarded a few grads into my team (for context we managed paid media for a SaaS company). We had a good track record of bringing in grads and training them on the job, but the cohort that came in during COVID had a terrible experience, and despite our efforts I'm not sure we ever really provided a good onboarding experience for them, and I don't think the training they received was nearly as effective as the training we used to provide in person.

I think WFH is often great for experienced professionals, but ever since that experience I have felt really bad for young professionals trying to make a start in their careers.
Haha it was not. While I goofed around with that in the late 90’s/early aughts I never believed it was a long-term profession and never really won or lost much at it.

One shot CI keys. I guess I shouldn't have used that term, it certainly is more work that doing otherwise.

Nevertheless, their advantages offer nothing of value in this context. At least, I think so. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Looks around desk at non-Apple monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB hub, and cables

Yeah, uh, they definitely always do that. It "wouldn't be them" to ever not.

(Hell, the monitor even supports True Tone—and it didn't at first, that arrived in an OS update, from Apple)
Market is too busy buying NVDA and selling puts. Everybody knows about CRE but it isn't a problem for this quarter. Besides, if it ever becomes a problem, the FED will drop a dedicated CRE credit line over the next couple weekends. (If it doesn't, though...)
...why?

There are like a zillion Chinese single board computers out there. What's so special about raspberry pi that it's worth a half a billion dollar valuation?
You're right, I'm thinking of a different persona. I'm thinking less about travellers and more about locals working from home wanting to hang out with and work alongside other local workers. Maybe a business needs a permanent number of desks but not enough to warrant renting an office. I don't know anything specific it's just my gut feeling and how I'd want it to play out.

Weird, I'm not logged in at home. I don't even have an account. But it gives me the €114.23 price
I started freelancing in '08 alongside my full-time job and by '12 had a sizeable down payment for my first home and a very healthy savings account. I didn't overcharge anyone and I leaned hard into former clients to find new work. I walked away from it around '13 because the well dried up. It hadn't occurred to me quite yet that a similar situation may be occuring right now but it makes perfect sense.
As many as necessary. Late stage capitalism has entered its paperclip maximizer phase - AI will pervade everything, everywhere all the time and we will simply learn (or more likely be trained) to accept the failures as the necessary price we must pay for efficient markets.

Is this the future we want? For many people, the answer is a clear no. But like the Luddites of generations before (who were right about everything) we are not the ones who get to decide what the future will be. Maybe there's still time to go be a potato farmer in Idaho or something.
> For years I’ve been complaining that I can’t easily use my private iPad with my company Mac because they have separate Apple IDs. Things like sidecar for a quick virtual whiteboard are basically impossible.

This is kinda what Managed Apple IDs are for - the work 'owns' the Apple ID it puts into its management profile and can set policy. Apps write into a separate storage container which the company could remote wipe, without affecting the rest of your personal data. If they want to disable things like sidecar, they can do it.. for the corporate apps/accounts/web domains.

I'd' generally assume the multi-user aspect is worse (because face shields and prescriptive inserts) so generalized multi-account is pretty low on the priority list.
I got an Apple Watch in 2019, and I don't wear it anymore. It was just another thing that needed to get charged every day, and none of the apps are very useful, and most of them are buggy and poorly supported.
I agree that it's definitely nuanced. However, I have also seen many cases of people "failing upwards". They basically do a mediocre job at their current company with middling performance ratings, such that there is no way they would get a promotion (for obv reasons), then jump to another company at L+1, rinse and repeat, until they plateau after 2-3 promotions. It's good for them personally, but terrible for the industry, as these people with actually very mediocre experience and ability are now leads.
To completely reproduce the reality you need to be able to manipulate the phase of light of individual pixels. Basically, make a dynamic hologram.

Without that, you'll be looking at an artificially "crisp" version of the world.
One thing I keep wondering about is retail as a use for this office space.

If you visit most parts of Asia you'll find that the North American focus on having retail only on the ground floor is a self-imposed and arbitrary limitation. In other parts of the world there's nothing at all strange about having a restaurant on the 8th floor of a building, or a clothing store, or a hair salon, etc etc.

Personally I find that retail businesses in Asia are far more interesting as a result - retail rents are comparatively cheap, encouraging an explosion of interesting niche retail businesses (a vinyl store selling only 70s vinyl? Sure!) that still pencil out financially.

Retail in US urban cores on the other hand has been stagnant, with only major chains being able to afford the skyrocketing rents.

This feels like an opportunity? Imagine the kinds of interesting businesses that can be created if we took off the totally arbitrary cap on retail space.

I guess the people on and other side of the wager would have agreed with you. I don’t know what odds there were of the election being overturned but I am sure they are much smaller than the odds those people were laying on it happening.
As both a farmer and a software engineer, farming is way harder – and I don't mean in terms of effort. To your economic point, farming pays better too.

Sure, neither is hard if you want to do it at subsistence level. Hell, I started programming at like 5 years old. Software development is the easiest endeavour a human can partake in – so easy, it is easily picked up by young children who can barely read. Anyone can build software.

But I think it is far to say that building robust, reliable, maintainable, performant, and scalable software that satisfies a market need is a different story. And same goes for farming. If you want to farm at a level beyond subsistence, that is when it becomes hard.
Sounds like it's doing a solid job of data flow analysis. But I can still produce cases where it cannot determine either the range of the index or the length of the array being pointed to.

The programmer will have to add code to keep track of the length of the array, and add code to check the value of the index. The good thing is the analyzer will tell you where you'll need to add those checks.

With the proposal I made, none of this is necessary. It just works. Over two decades of experience with this approach in D is it-just-works.
What other measures do you take? How do the children feel about it, do they understand why it's necessary? Thanks
No security-conscious corporation is going to allow you to approve any actions with security implications using an Apple Watch secured by a four-digit passcode, rather than an alphanumeric password on a Mac.
The film (especially vfx) industry runs on Python, and so much code is written for Python.

Same reason you'd want to run your server in node.js so it matches your front end code ( and you can reuse code on the front end and backend). Pyscript lets us have the same programming language in the front end and the backend, and access to all of our internal packages on the front end.

A lot of vfx software is written in QT, so at a previous company I actually made a wrapper around a subset of the QT interface and widgets, and replicated it in Pyscript, so we could write an app once and run it from inside vfx applications, or run it in the browser with no additional coding. It wasn't perfect, but it worked and made things simpler
Fair enough. Don't really have an opinion on local colo absent a company office.
Numbers are sales and should be found in the citation.

Do you have numbers for production of other companies? I'm probably most interest in VW.

It would be surprising to me if sales represented sales of old inventory, but that could be the case. I would more suppose that sales are for more recently produced inventory. Thus while 80% the sales of tesla does not mean 80% production, but seems like 50% is plausible. I would consider 50% of 1.8M to be producing at scale.

Eager to see what the numbers are. It would be wildly interesting if sales were somewhat close but production was not
I do this sometimes on my meta quest. Go into desktop VR and pull up a couple desktop views so I can see things happen in real time on different “screens”.
To me it shows that Google doesn't know how to generate significant revenue with those eight thousand people. I am worried it indicates Google is running out of good bets and has limited future growth.

Of course, the counter argument is that technology allows Google to do more with less people. I am not convinced by this argument, because Google's competition has about the same ability to do more with less people. If you can improve individual productivity than why not scale that across more people.

To summarize, this indicates to me that Google is reducing their value on human capital.
That's what everyone says, but I don't think the numbers are there. And, to be frank, most of the accidents you infer, are with non-US pilots, who's culture & training just doesn't match up with what the States has (hey, we invented the airplane).

The most common criticism I hear against cities is that they are loud. Cities aren't loud; cars are loud.

You experienced a bad compromise of having high density of a city and the high car ownership of suburbia. Like a "stroad," a road that is trying to be a street, it doesn't work.

Try to spend a week in a place with walkable density and no cars: Amsterdam, Oslo, or closer to US, Disney Land.
Supervision? My parents had absolutely no idea where I played. Except that I was probably 1km away or less...
There is no quote that says that.

"Earnings per share (“EPS”) in the most recent fiscal year were lower than the EPS generated by Disney a decade ago"

is not the same as "underpeforming for a decade".

all that says is that EPS is currently low, not that it has been low and reducing/stagnant for a decade.
It's also a safety thing. The main function is for the firearm to function properly with blanks instead of live rounds. Not all types of firearms need blank firing adapters to function properly with blanks.

Edit to expand on that:

Various types of autoloading firearms rely on the gas from the combustion of the powder in the round to be directed a certain way which provides the energy needed to cycle the bolt, which includes ejecting the spent round and feeding the next round. If that gas escapes out the end of the barrel then that action doesn't happen and remedial action must be performed on the rifle (in the case of an AR style rifle it means working the charging handle). With a revolver (at least mine), the cylinder is spun using the energy from squeezing the trigger so it doesn't matter if the gas escapes out the end of the barrel. I'm not sure how safe that would be to use a blank firing adapter on a revolver if there's no other way for the gas to escape.
All you have to do is click "all formats" and select one.

I think he really hit the nail on head here:

"Part of this is a result of poor planning and ordinance-making that long ago overcompensated for the wide use of automobiles. Henry Grabar, a staff writer at Slate, mentions this in a book published last year, Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World. ”On a national level, certainly, there’s far more parking than we need,” Grabar said in an interview. “There are at least four parking spaces for every car, meaning that the parking stock is no more than 25 percent full at any given time. And some of those cars are moving at any given time, so parking may be a good deal emptier than that.”
Elon Musk Says Neuralink Has Implanted Its Chip in a Human
I find this sort of logic absurd. “There are at least four parking spaces for every car, meaning that the parking stock is no more than 25 percent full at any given time. And some of those cars are moving at any given time"

So, if I have a two car garage in my house, a parking spot at work, and a parking spot at the local shopping district, how else is this going to work? I can't bring my parking spot with me. The idea that we should look at per existing car utilization as any kind of indicator is ridiculous. Now, if any of those spots is never used, that may be a good indicator- but it might be because a building isn't fully leased at the moment as well.
Does this logic work in reverse, should we accommodate ICs with weak working from the office skills?

I do agree though, the most important thing is to build a team and hire people that compliment the context the business operates in, instead of trying to mold the business around the people they happen to have working at the given time.
Depends on whether you're asking 28 year old or 38 year old me.

Now? I'd go grab a hot beverage.
But isn't that just bad management / prioritization? Isn't the solution to just shuffle people to more useful projects instead of firing them? Especially at a company that hires general engineers who can work on any project, and also at a company that has a lot of internal tooling which makes ramping up new engineers slow and tedious.

They'll probably grow back to 190k within a few months, but those 8k new hires will probably take months if not a year to fully ramp up.

Exactly. What I have seen from this game seems off-putting and distasteful for a universe ostensibly designed for children. I also do not buy into the Pokemon should grow up with its audience argument. There is another generation of children growing up, after all.
> And even something similar embedded in some TVs.

I don't believe there is an "tvOS Embedded". "Apple TV+" is just an app within the OS; there isn't really any similarity between the embedded app and tvOS.
So? Tesla is currently earning about 50% more profit than GM is, surely it should correspondingly be valued higher?
I'm not as familiar with the compliance part of their solution, so there could be some of what you're talking about. I don't think their software is totally useless, just possibly, um, over-priced, and needing competitors. :)

Our lightweight SaaS was focused on analytics related to share of wallet and return on capital and improving insights into client relationships. With our tool, an investment banker could perform some tasks in seconds or minutes that normally an MD expected a junior analyst to do in hours or days. Not rocket science, but useful. And not as expensive as Dealogic. I wish I could say our creation was taking the world by storm, but we haven't been involved for many years and as so often happens with acquisitions, they didn't really execute well on our original target audience and took it in another direction.
I go on and off using a debugger.

The main issue with debuggers versus logging is debuggers usually help you understand a point in time & space. The debugger just isn't a particularly great tool for understanding what's happened even if you do have a stack traces, and in a modern async world stack traces are often quite broken.

What I do love is tracing, which is an incredible view over time of all the various little subprocesses going on. Attaching some trace attributes to tell me key pieces of data or collection sizes leaves useful clues that future views can see.

It's crazy what my company pays for logs. Our effective price per gigabyte is colossal. And most of our services run pretty quiet, but still it's a huge cost. Meanwhile we must be generating vastly more trace data, orders of magnitudes more, trying us every handler and detail of what's happening, everywhere, and theres no pressure to reduce our tracing.

Tracing gives an enormously beautiful view over time of what's happening. At the same time, logging can still be better because trace views don't make at a glance reading of trace attributes possible. It's still. Better to log because you can select & pick the data you want and view all of it on screen in sequence over time, as it happens. Where-as with tracing you have a very compelling & powerful structured view of execution, but you have to keep clicking in to each span to dig out the specifics. Otherwise I feel like tracing would be a total lock.

I have yet to see another developer who has done local development with the assistance of tracing. I love it, and swear by it, and it's largely outmoded logging for understanding my systems. I usually have such a good view of my systems that I don't need a debugger!

In general it feels like a lot of these tools haven't moved much. Another commenter talked about logging over debugging, because it's persistent & can be returned to, where-as debugging is an ephemeral activity & we don't have tools to save/restore debugging analysis; we re-debug aknew each time we run into an issue. Logging lets us build up a consistent base (albeit at the risk of allowing ephemeral logging to cruft up our environment over time). Tracing seems like a much more powerful paradigm than logging, with much more for free & done consistently, but we still have a fairly unrefined ephemeral system for doing trace-based debugging.

Getting beyond debugging as an ephemeral technique seems like a big leap we need, if folks are really going to find lasting value in their tools.
Many registrars offer a service where they provide a local contact who meets the residency requirements of your preferred domain name.

Not something to do lightly for an actively used domain name if you're an actual business, as it may establish presence in a jurisdiction you'd rather not be in; but it should be fine enough for personal use; worst case, you abandon the domain when it becomes an issue and maybe avoid travel to that country.
> AirPods have gotten better over the years where today I can freely switch between devices belonging to different Apple IDs with the same AirPods.

What the fuck. The fact that an apple ID is even involved is absurd. Should be able to just Bluetooth to any device.
I always imagined Google licensing the tech as opposed to spinning up a fully fledged national taxi service.
Also keep in mind that the "expected" are not the actual expected, but rather "publicly expected numbers that are freely given out and therefore useless". Investment firms have private expected numbers that are far more accurate, the publicly given out ones are designed to manipulate retail investors.
That will never happen. Nobody will make real software for iOS because nobody wants to pay a 30% fee for the privilege of randomly having their whole business shut down when an app reviewer is in a bad mood.
This might not fit your use case but what I do is:

ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 username@hypervisor

on the hypervisor, start Qemu with -vnc :1

Then open a local VNC client like RealVNC and connect to localhost:1
you don't necessarily need to urbanize. just make things more walkable. Instead of having 1 large library or grocery store the size of a theme park, have 10 smaller ones in walking distance instead.
I also use emacs graphically, somehow I managed to switch after years of using it in the terminal and now I prefer it. However, I've never managed to settle on any of the terminal emulation modes. Just too many keyboard shortcut conflicts and complicated magic to remember how to copy and paste between different types of buffers.

These days I've pretty much settled on having and emacs window and GNOME Terminal side by side as my two main work windows, and it's pretty comfortable. I like that I can mouse select and copy from the terminal window and then C-y into emacs and vice versa.

If I really have some need I might still open a shell or ansi-term session but it's pretty rare now. Sometimes it's convenient when I find myself in a remote shell session and want to have a text editor and shell vertically tiled, I'll just run emacs with ansiterm because for the life of me I can't ever remember the screen keyboard shortcuts for splitting windows.

I've used chatgpt itself as a language tutor a bit but this is nicer. I like the inline suggestions that don't break the flow of conversation.

Portuguese speech to text is flaky. This may be partly attributable to my pronunciation, and chatgpt has the same issue.

I'd love to have a hands free mode that's suitable for use while doing chores or driving.
Yes?

The first iphone didn’t have copy/paste.

Apple will always prioritize critical scenarios over nice to have. None of these things are technically difficult, it’s just time. I’m willing to believe they released too early, but at some point you have to start learning from real users.
Does that mean we'll stop seeing all the alarmist posts about how one should never build on GCP?
> Joycons don't have absolute positioning, only relative, they're not good enough for VR.

The point would be that you don't use them for positioning at all, just buttons/thumbsticks. If you've using a Virtual Desktop-like app on the headset then it's already got positioning from the hand tracking.

I'm curious, have you used CBMC?

The machine model tracks the array with its size and compares this to any index. This is loaded into an SMT solver. This is not a standard static analyzer. It's compiling the code to an abstract machine model and then running through this model with an SMT solver.

CBMC isn't perfect, but the strategies you are talking about are meant to defeat a linter or a shallow analyzer in a compiler. CBMC isn't a linter.
It's hard to say. Good moats, at least mid-term, are rarely algorithms. It's usually data and infrastructure.

However, for some applications I am interested in, I think that robust representation learning solutions could give a significant edge.

But that is mostly an open problem in high-dimensional spaces.
I strongly disagree with this, if you force every spare minute into productivity, the cognitive burden of context switching and the addiction to the adrenaline of urgency leads to burnout.

You don’t have to make every second of every day “productive” or you’re never going to smell the roses.
