It's a bad idea for many reasons:
- you are spending hundreds of millions for a prototype, on paper all works but in reality to build a reliable submarine you need peoples, experience, tests etc, to avoid something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_submersible_implosion

this sub "only" reach -250m , but that it's anyway mattern of concerns;

- there are serious possibilities they don't delivery, not necessarily because it's a scam, but fore the same reasons of the previous point: technical problems requiring re-designing and re-engineering inflating the costs, burning budgets;

- the success in rescuing people trapped in a submarine is very low, because the environment, because the lack of related technology, experience, etc, see here for example:

My understanding is that Jack Dorsey has little to no direct involvement with Blue Sky anymore. He doesn't even have an account on the service. As far as I know, Jack has redirected his efforts to Nostr.

I do think one useful heuristic for evaluating social media apps is whether company leadership and employees are actually participating on the platform.

When I open Twitter and Threads, I see Elon and Mark both posting regularly.
Also... LinkedIn $8.1bn, Windows $10.8bn - so LinkedIn isn't that far behind Windows!
It's really sort of been downhill since they decided to play the speed number game over all else with the Pentium IV. Even the core i7/i9 lines that were good for a long time have gone absolutely crazy lately with heat and power consumption.
Yahoo Mail Problem
Got logged out of Yahoo mail and couldn't log back in despite keying in the correct passpord. Tried rest password using recovery email , receieved the 6 digit code and the message "We can't recover your account online because there are no other options on file for your account"appeared. Tried the yahoo chat, yahoo facebook chat and they couldn't a solution or any reason for that. It seems that there's no other way to log into the email. Anyone with the same problem?
I've actually thought about this a lot!

1. no more keyword parameters

2. every message has exactly one argument, which may be a tuple.

3. "obj.msg" becomes short hand for "obj msg ()"

4. if a message expects 2 element tuple and you give it a one element one.. it returns a closure that expects the rest of the arguments. ie "add1 = 1.+"
The vast majority of Google+’s “growth” came from users of other Google apps who were pushed to convert their Google account to G+ but had no interest in using it otherwise, and they made the new Google account signup process push you into G+ even if you were just there for Gmail, YouTube, etc. They also counted a lot of activity in the apps people actually used as G+ interactions and refused to provide breakdowns for those stats, which suggests true interactions were really low.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/01/google-doubles-plus-...

Anecdotally, I move in nerdy circles but maybe 5% of the people I know used G+ at all, ever.

If Threads’ reported daily active users count is accurate in the 30M range, it’s already close to Google+ 40M _monthly_ active users near its peak:

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/15/technology/the-plus-in-go...

Threads is not perfect but everyone on there had at least some genuine interest and anecdotally people see far more activity than G+ ever managed. I hear a lot of comments that both Threads and Mastodon tend to have more real interactions, too, and that matches my experience where lower follower counts still translate into more activity.
That's equally (almost vacuously) true of origami, but the inherent topology of the building blocks still has a huge effect on what those degrees of freedom actually are. Do you think they're similar between a peptide chain and a sheet of paper? If no, then what are you actually arguing?
It has lakes. There's no cooler way to get around one.
Right? That's why I was hesitant to bring this up too. But the picture really is that distracting.

Like, the article's good enough that it doesn't need an image. Or if you really think you need it, grab some free stock photo or clipart or something.

Or get good AI art. Don't settle for bad AI art.
Instagram shows previews of Threads posts and even sends you notifications about activity on Threads.
Is this sending rendered images as binary over websocket and then into a HTML5 canvas? Or is there something especially clever going on?
I have an opposite experience. Making performant JavaScript app require years of learning hacks of web ecosystem. Which is unsurprising, given that web apps build on the foundation layer not suited for performant UI apps.
Flutter apps are performant out of the box, because, well, it was designed with this goal in mind.
they are paying the price for their obsession with super high resolution. I think it's a mistake, from my perception Quest 3 at 25ppd is nearly good enough, and its panels are nearly half the resolution. They should have traded 20% resolution for 10 deg FOV either side. In fact, with appropriate optics the effective resolutions sacrifice could be even less than that.
It depends how fucked up the rest of the world gets. As long as the rest are blundering about, killing each other, energy/trade flows keep getting disrupted the US can coast. The time to start sweating is when there is peace and China, India et al start realizing they don't need the US for too much. That's when the party ends.
From when I've used them in the past, the issue is the difference between looking in the general direction of something and using your eye like a joystick that jumps around if you happen to glance a little to the left or right.
Costco pays well for retail though.
Yeah I fully agree with this. I know multiple people on H1B visas who stayed at their jobs even in the face of sexual harrassment, deteriorating physical health, and depression, because of bad job markets and the stupid 60-day rule, and some subset of them already had family and kids in the US who were already adapted to US lifestyle and not ready to be uprooted to a foreign language and culture.

All they needed was some time off and time to recuperate and then some job searching time.

There is no reason someone who is already "effectively American" from a professional perspective should be uprooted and moved. They already thrive here, they already benefit this country, they should be allowed to stay indefinitely and continue to contribute.
Isn't that true for virtually EVERY big tech merger? Like, which ones have actually worked?
Meh, this is at least something new and interesting. Better this than yet another garage full of supercars or whatever.

M1 was released in 2020, that puts it in line with Tiger Lake and Comet Lake, for which I'm seeing 7 different SKUs at 7W TDP. The fastest of which seems to be the Core i7 1180G7, which seems to perform almost as well as the M1 while using about half as much power: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i7-1180g7-v...

Just the first example I grabbed. Intel made quite a few more chips in the 15W and higher envelopes, still under M1's ~20W TDP.

I didn't check their embedded SKUs yet. Nor enterprise.
No, that's exactly what I don't want.

I want to edit code. Nothing else.
Appreciate having a detail writeup of the mechanism instead of introducing it like a black box magic.
That is well-below current market rates in decent-size cities.
That was from a recent acquisition. Sad to say that firings are par post acquisition, but isn't a signal about the company at large.
Don't both of those usually come from the top?
Are you running Epic? As a patient it has been amazing to use and have everything available. My doctor uses it effectively and it’s quite cool she can do all prescription management etc through it. Now even virtual meetings.

Money flows, it doesn't disappear, and if it isn't spent it might as well not exist -- but the spending affects the allocation of real resources, like steel, batteries, and shipbuilders' time.

It's ok if there's an excess of materials and the shipbuilders have nothing better to do.

More likely it will slightly drive up the prices of batteries, etc. And maybe the yacht builders would have otherwise gone to work making sailboats for normal-rich people, or gone into defense, driving down the price of labor there, and allowing taxpayers to get their next destroyer for a hair cheaper.

Or, worst case, there'd be no demand for these shipbuilders, and they'd have to reskill as something else. Maybe they know how to do fiberglass layups and would try making surfboards, I don't know.

In short, I don't worry so much about wasting money per-se, as about luring people and resources away from better uses.

Kind of like VC's role for the last 20 years. "Greatest minds of my generation", etc.
The best part is that the first 10 customers get their very own Evil Lair! Hurry, before Volcano Lair is sold out!
Acorn’s original ARM chip was impressive but it didn’t really capture much market share. The first ARM CPU competed against the 286, and did win. The 386 was a big deal though. First, software was very expensive at the time, and the 386 allowed people to keep their investments. Second, it really was a powerful chip. It allowed 11mips vs ARM3’s 13, but the 486 achieved 54mips. ARM6 only hit 28mips. It’s worth noting that the 386 also used 32bit memory addressing and a 32 bit bus while ARM was 26bit addressing with a 16 bit bus.

I have been convinced that people can’t understand what the site is like and how to use it intuitively.
This site needs to be more user-friendly.
Would it be any less if the person had eight or more if ten? Standing is standing. Maybe someone should have paid a troll toll before things got out of hand.
Does anyone truly deserve $50Bn compensation for anything?
If you're process nodes are going wayyyy over schedule, it shouldn't take much intelligence to realize that TSMC is catching up FAST.

You should probably have some intel (haha) on ARM and AMD chips. They didn't care.

Why? It's monopoly business tactics, except they didn't realize they weren't Microsoft.

It's not like this was overnight. Intel should have watched AMD like a hawk after that slimeball Ruiz was deposed and a real CEO put in charge.

And the Mac chips have been out, what, two years now, and the Apple processors on the iPhones at least 10?

Come on. This is apocalyptic scale incompetence.
Which he did so I don’t really see the issue with any of it. He took his entire compensation betting on massive success of the company and it happened.

Whats wrong with that?
I’m not arguing the judgment was unfair and I’m not asserting that musk and the board acted wisely, prudently or even ethically.

But the guy just got robbed of his compensation after increasing the value of the company’s stock by 10x. In return for accomplishing this he was supposed to get 6% equity.

That does not sound to me like the plaintiffs suffered actual losses.
I see it more for public perception, 10% seems miniscule imo to the average person who would see this headline (non tech), and a constant compounding can continue to go unoticed.

Plus if every company does it you can begin to forget which company had/has/is/continuing to lay off... Geniusly evil

The appeal would go to the Delaware Supreme Court.
That's clearly not what armchairhacker was claiming.
Haven't their revenues skyrocketed lately?
> I’m not certain, but I am pretty sure tail call optimization includes generic tail call elimination.

I believe they're related, but not the same thing.

> I do not know if the above is included in what clojure does for tail calls, recursive or not, but on the JVM the elimination of those calls can and does have an impact.

As far as I know the JVM doesn't allow a program to arbitrarily modify the stack, so any support would need to be baked into the JVM itself, which it might be now, but I'm not finding any indication that it is. The `loop`/`recur` construct essentially compiles to a loop in the Java sense (to my understanding), so it is as efficient as a recursive loop with TCO. The more general tail-call elimination likely isn't possible on the JVM, but you're correct that it would likely result in a speed up.

All of this is sort of besides the point: I don't think there's much in terms of higher-order functions (which is an extremely broad category of things) that you can't do in Clojure just because it lacks TCO. At least no one has been able to give me an example or even address the point directly. Speed is not really what I'm referring to.
Oh they'd be philanthropists, whether they like it or not.
Yes-- if he can generate much more than $50 billion in value for Tesla shareholders, and they give him $50 billion in compensation, that's a fair trade in my book.
I probably could have phrased it better, but my comment was taken out of context. What I mean is $20k is a paltry sum for a tech startup to screw someone over for. I don’t think it’s a small sum for most individual wage earners (especially with young children).
suno.ai is the generator I used, structure is mostly implied through the lyrics rather than directly controlled though. But given that you can break down the generated audio into it's constituent elements with something like moises.ai or RipX DAW, you can rebuild it into any structure you want.

I feel like this is like comparing a teenager’s YoY % growth and a newborn’s. Of course the newborn is going to have monstrous growth.
I switched from twitter to threads pretty much immediately and traffic there comes and goes in waves when people get freshly annoyed at twitter about something. Most of the people I followed on twitter have threads accounts -- most of them crosspost there frequently, some of them only do when they're mad about something elon musk did and then go back to twitter.
Peak Blackberry was 2011. It's easy to forgot that that the iPhone takeover took years and many releases.
I literally don't know anyone who watches cricket, and yet it's a world famous sport beloved by many many people. Case in point, it's erroneous to judge an app by your local network.
Ooh, great idea! A supercar garage pressure hull.
It shouldn't be, but the standard is not clear.

The spec is very dodgy in that it acknowledges that every server needs to pick its own policies:

> Disposition of SPF fail messages is a matter of local policy.

On silently dropping email, the following is listed as a "consideration":

> Other dispositions such as "dropping" or deleting email after acceptance are inappropriate because they leave uncertainty and reduce the overall reliability and utility of email across the Internet.

There is no MUST (NOT) in the spec when it comes to silently dropping email.

The intent of the author of the spec is to always provide feedback, but it doesn't actually say that in cleae terms.
Oracle, and even Microsoft, have decently large arm64 deployments now too (compared to nothing).

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

but the surprising thing is, counter to the author of the TFA's opinion, even in perfect hindsight, i believe that's the correct move.

neither gates nor jobs is anything special at all. their "super-power", if anything at all, is at best a case of epic narcissism.

but, they were in the right place at the right time. there's literally millions of the same person out there, bilking money from their relatives and "friends", scamming their girl/boy friends, etc. and couch surfing to get by.

it's like saying: "knowing a lotto ticket might hit the jackpot, would you have bought it?"
Which I would also suggest is the most questionable/concerning part of Bluesky: Twitter didn't invest in it in exchange for nothing.

What amount of control might X/Elon have over Bluesky as a company? Jack backing something other than Bluesky post-Twitter is not a good sign.
But QT eats up a businesses profits. Plain and simple, most businesses cannot use QT for this reason.
I do when I can. For AT&T I was able to just go to the store and do it. For eBay, we had to acquiesce as they were holding sales payouts hostage.
> Most AS/400's are tucked in the back corner of a warehouse workshop closet, absolutely slathered in dust

In the 1990s, my dad worked in a pharmaceutical factory. The whole factory was run by a single AS/400. Being the pharmaceutical industry, it was all very clean, no dust anywhere to be seen. Their server room, complete with raised floor, seemed rather barren – all it contained was the AS/400, a tape drive, and a couple of Netware servers. The operator sat in an adjoining room, able to observe the servers through a large glass window. In high school my dad got me an unpaid internship for two weeks in their IT department, but sadly they refused to give me a login to the AS/400. Closest I got, was they had a contractor writing RPG code in the cubicle next to mine, and he let me look over his shoulder.

There is probably a lot of overlap given MS will have a lot of infrastructure and expertise in the same are. Blizzard had so many issues even before the acquisition.
I've migrated to mostly using a desktop now but even when I use a laptop I'll use a mouse if it's more than a few minutes.

A Magic Mouse gives the benefits of both (movable mouse, touch panel) anyway.

I did buy a touchpad for a headless mini but that's just because it can be left plugged in permanently, and doesn't need as much space to be usable.
Re-onshoring of manufacturing means that all these trades will be in ultra high demand.

Well, the currency in this case was presumably USD, so I don't think it's relevant.

But in any case, the convention for both the Euro and the USD is to put it in front of the number when writing in English, according to EU standards for internal writing. If there's another standard that just says "do whatever" then I'd love to see it.

And again, as I believe I mentioned, most publications would put the dollar sign in front of the number, and use commas. Dots are acceptable, but I can't find a lot of publications that do it the way it's written in the linked article.

The big box discount store (which demands that customers buy in bulk to save money, and because it is so far away from you that you can ONLY visit it once per month) is as much a product of US style suburban sprawl, as car-dependency is.

Intel laptops cant even sleep anymore. I have a 11th Gen Intel space heater that invalidates every claim you've made in this thread. People aren't stupid, we've owned these shitty Intel products for years, you're fooling nobody.
Don't know about the interview processes - but if you've been looking 4 months, you started back in Q4, which is normally a REALLY slow time (everyone is busy with holidays, parties, vacations, and budgets are basically spent). Hopefully, it should start picking up now...

Followup: I found such a header! https://github.com/scottt/debugbreak
People thought Apple making a phone was odd. No one thought mobile phones, or even smart phones were odd. Mobile phones were common when the iPhone came out, and even smart phones weren't uncommon. And once the iPhone did come out, there was immediate interest.

AR though, that's something the public hasn't shown much interest in yet. These products are looking more like the Segway (which was once supposedly going to revolutionize transportation) - cool, popular in a few niche markets, but not the revolution that people imagine them to be.
Jobs are a cost. Production and education, material and intellectual wealth are what matters. How we get those involves work and thus (some) jobs, but please, let us not mistake the means for an end.

And jobs are an opportunity cost - the people who would be working on this supervillain fantasy are not doing anything else. What could they, or would they be doing instead?

If building a submersible superyacht adds to the world, then well and good. Personally, I find the opportunity cost to humanity of doing so highly suspect. But I don't think I, or anyone, has a perfect picture of all the knock-on effects from particular money flows. (I think this is why a free market can have benefits.)

Jobs are not good because they are jobs, they are good because of what they accomplish, and should be measured by that yardstick.
May I ask if you play any instruments and taken music lessons for a serious amount of time?

My guess is not, because to me it is obvious you don't understand how this works and are just imagining things.

Speaking as someone who takes private piano lessons and have been practicing daily for the past 8 years:

If this were possible, music teachers would have already been replaced to some extent. But that has not happened yet. AI is not new. VR is not that new. Even without this, just talking about non-personalized, non-VR instructions. Have you seen those websites that "teaches" you piano just by connecting your keyboard to a computer and following instructions? Where are they now? It does not work like that. Maybe for an absolute beginner who has trouble finding a key or fret, but as soon as you get a little bit better it won't work.

Music learning is an extremely personalized experience. People pay 1-1 private lessons because it needs to be done that way. A teacher, especially a good teacher, can tell you exactly what you did wrong and what you should do to get better at it. Plus different teachers often have different opinions of music -- how a piece of music should be interpreted or played. As you get more advanced, you spend even less time on technique itself. Theoretically you could train an AI tutor that does the same thing. But no, it hasn't happen yet and will not happen. Did I mention hallucination? Do you want a teacher that hallucinates?

Plus you need lots of practice -- routines, repetitions, all those scales. AI or VR is just useless. Effective practice strategy is important, but you don't need AI for that.

That's beyond ridiculous. What true value has he generated? Also if the stock tanks then shouldn't investors have a right to strip some of that compensation? 50 billion to millions of investors and 50 million to one guy is hardly a fair trade. Not to mention how many times he's promised to deliver new features or products and comes up terribly short.
