One interesting read on the topic of near misses and High-Reliability Organizations is the paper "Going Solid", which has a great summary here:

Bought a copy! Your posts and newsletter content has been such a huge inspiration for me throughout 2023 - good luck, this is a huge effort!
Depends on the size of the market, of course. Apple is trying to tell the British public to correct their laws so they don't need to make difficult decisions, or even worse, spend money customising their software for the UK market.

Apple doesn't have a problem with following the Chinese laws and have set up an entirely separate network for their iCloud backups. Of course they'll make more in China yhan they'll make in the UK, but its clear that Apple is willing to comply with the law if a large enough part of their bottom line is at stake.
True, same thing can be said about iMessage unencrypted cloud backups or WhatsApps unencrypted google backups, it's just that Android gives you the freedom to use an alternative.
Basically if someone clicks that your email is spam, your IP address gets put on a list. You have to pay or fight to get off those lists.
I remember my cousin telling me how horrible it was to work at a hotel - you really found out how horrible people could be when they thought they were owed something. Staff there obviously had to put up with it because that was their job.

Regarding FOSS, I think some users forget that they're at a free lunch and are unpleasant and insistent about their complaints as if they were paying. They're not entitled to service and don't seem to realise it.

As to whether everyone else should listen - sure - but nobody is forced to work overtime just to right some wrong in OSS software because person A was very upset about it.

TIL that car fatalities were declining until 2019, and then reversed and are getting worse.

What happened in the last five years? Safety features of the cars themselves are improving (emergency braking). Alcohol may be a factor, but why in the last five years? Cars have been big for a while. WFH probably reduced commuting time. Other countries appear to be on the decline.
> Even amongst Apple Vision Pro users, I would be surprised if music listening is a big use case for this device. All of these users will already have their phones and other devices to listen on.

The main application would be to listen to music alongside whatever else you're already doing, similar to using Spotify on any other kind of computer. I'll begrudgingly use the website, but I'd prefer to have a native app.

> There is nothing about the Vision Pro that is particularly good for music.

I am curious about the spatial audio solution, especially as it's integrated with all of the other environmental sensing (i.e. the audio can "bounce" around your room). I have a quadraphonic mix of Dark Side of the Moon that I'm looking forward to listening to :-)
Are you saying there was only one spot for him to land? 20 seconds gave him time to make many adjustments.

> Rather than doing this, which does indeed seem like a headache, it may make more sense to skip import following at the very beginning until your core is typed so you can still enforce typing on the leaf nodes moving forward.

Yea, this is solid advice and something we did at one point. It's essentially strictly necessary for an older codebase.

> While there are some cases where this is truly the best option, ultimately you get to the point where you just don't allow this, otherwise what's the point of all the effort?

Again, true! We reached fatigue and gave up long before we hit the point where this would have mattered.

> The faster the core can be typed (and typed correctly), the easier it becomes for those who are less passionate. Presumably someone has done the calculus to determine that this effort is worthwhile, so while the team doesn't necessarily all have to reach guru level, they need to be convinced to continue the work. Removing barriers is huge for this, since as you've noticed once it starts being easy to ignore it's really challenging to stop ignoring.

I think this was probably my biggest failure in terms of the success of adding typing. I severely underestimated how long it would take to add typing info to some of the really old pieces of code, and it wasn't reasonable to expect to be able just to sit down and add types without delivering business value for an extended period of time.

My inexperience with `mypy` and the general typing ecosystem in python contributed significantly to the team ultimately reaching fatigue and deciding to give up on it (mostly).
In general... don't give out information that's not needed... and give out fake information when not needed, but required by stupid webforms.

So yeah, I'll give actual information to government, insurance, bank etc, but mostly bullshit (even name, DoB, etc) to (web)shops. Besides the address a shop doesn't need anything from me, so they usually get a throwaway e-mail, no phone-number or 0123456789 and only a postal-address if buying physical goods for delivery.

For mail-addresses where I need them later, always just customize them (like with gmail using youraccount+webshopname@gmail.com or with self-hosted using postfix's + or - address seperator).
just depends on your perspective imo... my startup (ctx: I'm the CTO) is lean, pretty mean, and a modest bit scrappy under the hood!

B2B means making sure our customers feel the weight of the value we deliver (why should they care), which means more emphasis on direct relationships beyond just our website. but we have learned considerably from our advisors and industry peers the right way to do a lot of things, meaning that we don't have to figure it out again. but there's always something new to figure out! the website should clarify the immediate value to the target customer profile, and pass the "surface" check so to speak.

part of this I think is also shaped by what those sly VCs are looking for, in that they have a higher confidence bar required to feel confident in the sales engine (underpinned by security/compliance, engineering, etc).
A bit dramatic. This is simply pushing back against the consolidation of markets into the hands of a small number of mega corporations that are more interested in acquiring the tech to use for other purposes.

It’s hardly a good thing that Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc. soak up so many businesses into their already vast portfolios.
Assessing when users use the app is a good catch to decide on the theme, but I believe many apps now give the option to switch between dark and light mode with a single click.
It's poor advice: anyone who has your name and address either also has (or is only clicks away from having) your dob.
Correct that it’s a bad idea to train on internal code. However surprisingly there is a shortage of open source code. These models are trained on substantially all the available open source code that these companies can get their hands on.

I don't know why you're bringing up prison when my question didn't assume any specific form of punishment.

>And I mainly say this because a more prison-abolitionist position here makes even more sense for these kinds of issues: be something akin to organized, intensive therapy and/or psychological treatment to address the underlying issues, and, failing that, a position in society where the person in question would not be exposed to children

I disagree with your reasoning. If it was possible to immediately and perfectly detect pedophiles, confinement for life would be the best way to deal with them, because there we would be sure they could not possibly have access to children. I don't know why you think that abolishing prison would make more sense to deal with pedophiles.

>certainly not indulging their desires with placebos until such time as the fakes don't work anymore

I see, the gateway sexbot argument.

>not solving the societal issue of pedophiles existing

It's unclear to me that it's a problem that has a solution. Like the other guy said, if conversion therapy for homosexuality is believed to be ineffective, why are we assuming that conversion therapy for pedophiles would not be? I am able to be convinced that somehow only one of the two could be effective, but I would need to hear some justification.
I wanted to say that's Copilot, but you meant speaking instead of typing?
I've seen hundreds of posts on that sub, but never anything approaching what you're describing. Do you have an example?
Ideally we would have a large curved screen or support for multiple virtual monitors in AVP but for now it looks like we just get 1. It will be a change but with window management utilities (like Magnet and friends) I don't think I'll have a huge issue tiling my windows on just 1 monitor. I use 3x2K monitors now so 4K (that I can make whatever size I want) should cover my needs.

Also, like the sibling comment says, I plan on seeing if I can pull some of the apps I run out of the virtual display and use the iPad apps instead. Copy/Paste/Drag support will make or break that for me though as I don't plan on accepting anything but exactly what I can do on my computer. But maybe iMessage, Slack, and Discord (and definitely Home Assistant) can run their iPad native apps instead of needing to be on my virtual display. Heck, maybe I just fall back to the desktop if I need to. I'm also not sure yet what the story is on using a wireless keyboard/mouse/trackpad with your laptop, as in can I use it in AVP or is it only for use on my virtual monitor? Maybe continuity comes into play there? It should if it doesn't already.
I have no idea how to interpret that sonar image. Am I supposed to see what looks like an airplane when viewed from above? Because the Lockheed Electra didn't have swept-back wings. I don't think any airplane had swept-back wings until the 1950s.

Having twins is four times as hard as a singleton. it's twice the amount of work that needs to be done. But you also have twice the issues per head, because responding to one, means ignoring the other, prolonging either the problem in one, or causing a problem for the other. it's hard facts.
Trying to sign up and getting an "Email rate limit exceeded" error.

Indeed a great point. Waiting for a specific cue, before responding, is an interesting idea. It would make the interaction more natural, especially in situations where the user is thinking aloud or formulating their thoughts before seeking the AI's input.

Interruption is something that is already in the pipeline and we are working on it. You should see an update soon.
Can you can use an Invidious instance's RSS feed or are they tied to Youtube's?
Yeah, I saw that post. I can believe is, as I've seen a lot of what look like convincing but fake profiles being recommended by Linkedin. And I'm like, why? Why is LN recommending them to me, I have nothing in common with these people
I think good in-home vision models are probably still a little bit away yet, but it seems already the case you could start to plan for their existence. It would also be possible to fine-tune a puny model to trigger a function to pass the image to a larger hosted model if explicitly requested to, there are a variety of ways things could be tiered to keep processing that can be done practically at home at home, and still make it possible to automatically (or on user's request) defer the query to a larger model operated by someone else
I'm in a jurisdiction where lying in many cases is legal. I think the principle in general is that lying without bad intent is legal.

> [...] Do not lie about your birthday to your doctor. Or your bank. Or when you’re trying to get your driver’s license. You get my point.

I don't give my real birthday to my doctor. Because why should I? An approximate birthday is totally fine for medical purposes.

Of course I don't lie to banks or the government. I think legislation against money laundering etc. is a good thing and so I accept these requirements.
pro tip: at CVS (and probably elsewhere), <local-area-code>-867-5309 will come back as a valid customer. Better than simply refusing because in many cases you will get a discounted price on some items as a "member"

I think any language with big fans will inspire equally motivated critics. Especially if the critics believe the accolades are undeserved.

You can see that in Go. It was a hugely hyped language, backed by Google, but without a lot of wishlist items that C++/Java/Python/Ruby/etc developers would have liked.

You can see that with Rust. There is the “rewrite everything in rust” crowd, which inspires anti-rust people to speak up.

I find it crazy how much criticism Rust, Go, Ruby, etc receive when Python has such glaring flaws. From the 2-to-3 migration, to package management. The consensus seems to be that’s just the cost of doing business.

By the way, I’m a Python developer. I don’t hate Ruby. But it seems like most Ruby fans love the elegance and consistency of its design, whereas that never resonated with me. E.g calling obj.length rather then len(obj) is surely more elegant. I never really cared though?

I guess I just find it interesting how some languages cons are excused while others aren’t. And how people can be drawn to some languages while others hate them.
This is an excellent project with excellent packaging. It is primarily a packaging problem.

Why does every Python application on GitHub have its own ad-hoc, informally specified, bug ridden, slow implementation of half of setuptools?

Why does TensorRT distribute the most essential part of what it does in an "examples" directory?

huggingface_cli... man, I already have a way to download something by a name, it's a zip file. In fact, why not make a PyPi index that facades these models? We have so many ways already to install and cache read only binary blobs...
Nitter Is Shutting Down
Who said we live in the real universe? Maybe Mosk really was a giant with a spear of fire, and a capital city armed with missiles was as close as we could come.

One of Brandon Sanderson's recent books invoked the concept of alternate realities in which it could be objectively determined that some were more real than others. (None could be found that were more real than "our" world, but also, it was impossible for objects from less-real worlds to move into, or presumably perceive, more-real worlds, so no conclusion could be drawn.)

The book is set in a world where magic and gods exist. The gods are the same ones we know from our own, realer world, except that they exist and have the powers attributed to them in our own myths. The end of the book gives us a divine point of view, and we learn that the gods are moving "upstream", in the direction of reality, but that this is difficult or painful for them.

This seems to conflict with the premise that the characteristics of less-real worlds are derived from the more-real worlds on which they are based. The possibilities are that our (real) mythology derives from the gods approaching us, which is the wrong direction of causality (but of course, they are moving upstream, which is also supposed to be impossible), or that the gods take on the characteristics that are attributed to them in whatever world they enter (but... who is who?).

The "real" world of the book is set in the cyberpunk future, which I think is unfortunate - I'd be all over a series showing the progression of the gods into the real present or past, but a cyberpunk future is less interesting to me. (There's still room to show them progressing through the past, though!)

Is food really that expensive? I eat mostly beef, yogurt, eggs, small canned fish like sardines, a few vegetables and fruits and I find sell by mark downs all the time on beef that I stock up on and freeze. Like just a few dollars per pound. Same thing with eggs, they have price spikes sometimes but a lot of times they are about 10-20 cents per egg. So like 8 oz serving of beef and a few eggs is like $4 per meal total.

Maybe olive oil prices have gone up and some others or lots of packaged and processed foods. But from a PRICE PER NUTRITION standpoint (real food like beef, eggs, etc), I dont find food costs all that bad.

Price per calories for junk processed foods like snacks and juices is a different argument I guess.

I will also add when times are tough you can quit spending money entirely on carbohydrates. Your body cant produce fats or proteins but It can produce all the glucose it needs endogenously. You can supply yourself fats and proteins your liver will take care of making glucose just fine.
Salvaging the plane could give interesting clues about what led to the crash.

> SaaS solved the issue of: I want continually improved and supported software, but I don't want to pay $5000 (or whatever fee makes sense) upfront for it.

Jetbrains solved this is in an even better and consumer-friendly way:

- You buy the software on a recurring subscription and always get the latest version

- If you stop your subscription, you can continue using a year-old version of the software forever

This aligns everyone's incentives! Jetbrains is incentivized to invest in R&D, because they don't want customers to decide the older version is fine and not continue their subscription. The customers know that regardless of what happens, they will always have access to the software they need.
Lol. It's universally agreed on by economists that they don't work and only cause shortages, quality/quantity shrinkflation, and long queues.

I wish so much that YouTube would allow fully featured, non-hacky third party clients again, even if only for paid users (similar to how Spotify used to). The clean platform-convention-respecting straightforwardness of the Apple iOS YouTube app is missed.
While many companies did try to get a PR bump from it, most companies pulled out due to government imposed economic sanctions on Russia, not because they had an ethical or moral drive to punish Russia for their actions
In order to feel like a human, cues should not be a pre-programmed phrase, the system should continuously listen to the conversation, and evaluate constantly if speaking is pertinent at that particular moment. Humans will cut a conversation if it's important, and such a system should be able to do the same.

Websites are the problem. You can't say "no thanks" to a required form field. (The obvious retort of "well don't shop there" is a no-go.)

I've given "none-of-your-business" data to companies that don't need it for a long time, (e.g. my middle name, shockingly, is your domain name, so weird!) but it CAN bite you if you forget your password and they ask for your birthday as proof of who you are.

I get asked my birthday so seldomly that I always forget what my new forever birthday is going to be by the next time I need it.

They do. To be fair, vocal majorities generally are inexperienced, even outside of Rust communities. Of course they are. What would someone with experience gain from such vocal exchange?

The vocal majority of Rust users are especially vocal in tech circles right now, though, because of it being the "hot new technology" and thus most attractive to inexperienced programmers. This does make their inexperience stand out in an especially prominent way. All "hot new technologies" have gone through this pain period.

That doesn't mean that there aren't experienced Rust users, but experienced users have no reason to talk about it. Their experience has already collected everything that could be gained through vocalization. Talking about it becomes boring at that point.
Not nonsense. The argument goes that if time and space are both discrete, then to move from A to B in finite time means that you have to perform infinitely many actions in finite time.

Zeno didn't believe that the latter was possible. But he wasn't stupid, he obviously knew that motion was happening all the time in real life. His paradox really only makes sense in the context of Eleatic philosophy which assumes that reality is an illusion because change is fundamentally impossible (how can something come from nothing?).

If you want to reframe it in more modern terms, Zeno's paradox shows a contradiction in axioms. If you want to get rid of the contradiction, you have to change some of the axioms.

In real analysis, loosely speaking, we remove the axiom that an infinite process cannot result in a finite outcome - this way we are allowed to sum (some) infinite series, for example. But we don't "know" if reality behaves that way.

The atomists found a different solution: they argued that reality was fundamentally discrete. This way, Zeno's paradox also doesn't arise.
