One of the things I have trouble understanding is why "rural mountain towns near large population centers" are exploding in the West, but not the East.

I understand some of the issues. The mountains are smaller and the snow isn't nearly as consistent.

But still. It seems like a ski resort 3.5 hours from Boston should be absolutely brimming with customers every long weekend.

On the other hand, I sat in a hot tub with a New Yorker at a Salt Lake City ski resort who claimed that it was quicker and easier for him to get there, than to Vermont ski hills.

I don't think the math quite adds up (The drive from NYC to Jay is going to be 6.5 hours, but you could fly from JFK to Burlington in 1hr 20min, and drive another 1hr 20min to Jay, vs a 4hr flight and 1hr drive to Park City, UT) - but I get the point.
The sound was pretty great imo
Aren't they offshoring a lot of their roles to either India or eastern Europe? How'd that work out for IBM and others who tried this before them?
It was over the top, but I read this as Stanley the opinionated weirdo’s words, not the author. A caricature.
The thing that gets me the most is how ancient 10 year-old YouTube looks. Which makes sense that this was the era before smartphones, when IE6 still had significant market share. But 10 years! Sounds like such a short time.
Until Google uses an LLM on every indexed entry. Then people might start writing stuff for that which might correlate more with what users want to read!
There isn’t a correlation. I am charming and would like to think generally pleasant to be around. But if you’re going to interrogate me about the entire life story of mine, you aren’t going to think that anymore.

Screening for people with life stories that you/anyone deems acceptable is extremely problematic, because realistically you will never have access to deeply personal information about 90% of your coworkers. As in, you should not be forcing Janet from accounting to disclose to you that she was abused by her stepfather, because if she is a well-adjusted adult it would have absolutely no bearing on your interactions with her at a workplace

Why would you get a 5700G from a 2700X? When you have a 2700X you already have a dedicated GPU, which is probably a lot better than the integrated Vega 8. Yes, even if it's an older card like an RX 580. I'm pretty sure even something pitiful like an RX 550 will be at least as good.

As such, you're better off getting e.g. a 5700X or even some X3D chip, which are much faster. The 5000G processors are slower than their 5000X or 5000 counterparts, since they have less cache.
Yes, they're cached using standard browser HTTP caching.

A very rough estimate just now on my iPhone over 5G: 12s for the first load, then when I visited again took around 3s.
It's not a security issue. This is an extension, it's weird and has some niche use-cases, but it is not a security issue as far as I can tell.

It's not like "include a script in a page, then execute arbitrary js on any tabs of anyone who visits that page".

That would've been a CVSS 10.

That’s what’s awesome about Jay peak tho in VT. If you want gaudy corporate attractions ski town then go to Stowe. There’s plenty of west coast and rocky mountain ski town targets too for that type of bland investment and redevelopment. Jay peak is awesome how it is as a low key border community. There was a corner store there that sold milk to the Canadians at CAD parity to USD around 2018.

Not every town needs to become a tech hub. And VT basically locked itself in a time capsule by their regulations on development ensuring that the only land owners are wealthy people who can afford to buy large areas of farmland. Also the environmental aspirations of the state don’t support a population boom. They don’t have new landfills and restrictive waste policies that keeps the place awesome now but is not universally economically achievable with larger population centers.
And poor people actually pump that money into the economy, they’re very effective at it.
People always talk about these things as if they are mutually exclusive.

In reality, there’s lot of opportunities that benefit all 3 of user, Google, and decision maker.

Tucker Carlson 'may face sanctions over Vladimir Putin interview'
> Nowhere did they state that seeing colors makes them feel like a baby.

Actually, that was a pretty reasonable translation of this line into low-brow speech:

> a broader, ongoing software infantilization process. Colors can't be sober either, everything has to be colorful, cheerful

The connection between these sentences is fairly clear: software is being infantilized and part of that is that everything has to be colorful and cheerful. Hence OP's translation into "seeing colours makes you feel like a baby and cheerful is a bad thing".

The translation into more casual language was rhetorically valuable in that it accentuated their broader point about how stuffy the original author sounds.

(And yes, I'm intentionally using stuffy language here because the casual language OP used seems to have whooshed.)

Not addressing Pihole directly, as I don’t have much experience there. But have you maintained a router? Running open source firmware or not, router does require a certain level of maintenance, open source ones arguably more. But that doesn’t make it problematic enough to have a lot of downtime. Given some people runs pihole-like software directly on a router, I’m skeptical the down time there is significant enough to stay away from. I mean having high availability internet at home is hard, but I expect the rate of failure of a router to be similar of magnitude comparing to pihole. If you can’t tolerate the latter, I wonder how you solve the availability issue of the former?

The CEOs job is to make the board happy. That’s it.

There’s no other requirement.

You make the board mad you’re fired. You make the board happy, then you’re golden and can do whatever.

The easiest way to make a board happy is to reduce headcount, increase revenues (ideally wherever you have strongest margins) and prevent collective bargaining.

CEO at this level isn’t a people leader like you’d expect because boards don’t care about people (unless they are unionizing). So anything they say about people issues, you can guarantee is a statement made for the board’s consumption.

This fits that perfectly because what he’s communicating is “we got rid of what we consider dead weight loss because those people worked in what we arbitrarily have deemed cost centers instead of what we used to call [important buzzword like “metaverse”]

I'm toothless and this right here is why I never wear my dentures, and I especially don't eat with them in.

They're uncomfortable, they're made out of this soft plastic that can't rip through food the way real teeth can, they prevent me from feeling the food in my mouth, and if I were to just wear them every day I'd have to completely re-learn how to talk. At best, they just look pretty, so all I've ever done with them is take a few selfies with them in. Other than that, they suck and I don't bother with them.

In fact, I have told several people that trying to eat with dentures in is like trying to type with full-finger gloves on. It's both easier and more enjoyable for me to just gum my food. And there are very, very few things I can't eat without teeth, most of which can be mitigated one way or another (and in a couple of cases, "one way" has involved a literal hammer).
This is happening at the big Vermont ski resorts like Stowe and Killington. Stowe might as well be a suburb of Boston, New York and Quebec.

No one around here can figure it out either. I sit next to a guy at my coworking space who works on rural economic development. Just today he was putting together a report on some funding that was given to promote small businesses. He said they were supposed to present the report to the board but the program had done so poorly that they were just going to file the report and never bring it up again.
A lot of the "it's time we moved away from China" corporations are moving their manufacturing from the authoritarian communist country of China to... the authoritarian communist country of Vietnam. Vietnam has loose regulations due to being undeveloped and seeking business just like China was 30 years ago. In a decade MBAs will be amazed when they find out Vietnam exerts total absolute control of their businesses just like China does.

Manufacturing hubs are shifting hands, but globalism isn't ending. Companies can still get away with paying $10 a day or less to people in some countries and they're never giving that up.
The last one might be gnarly.
Fascinating question
>> Websearch is sputtering sure but that's normal after a challenge like chatgpt.

> How would the existence of LLMs make "classic" web search worse? SEO spam and content farms cluttering the first results page has been going on for longer too.

To add my latest peeve, google search is suddenly terrible at units. When I look for "24 inches in cm" it gives me an answer in meters. And duh, I know that conversion, but until quite recently my browser search bar was a handy little calculator and now that's gone.

Surely we aren't blaming GPT for this.

I tried one or two (free) ones when trying to figure out what AI can do. I wasn’t trying to get company but to see the tech’s limits. I made all sorts of weird unhinged characters and made them do all sorts of unhinged things.

Basically, they could be goaded into accepting anything. They were absurdly easy to gaslight and had no opinion or initiative of their own. Some AIs did a bit better, but none did well.

It left me worrying about the sorts of behaviours one would develop from interacting too much with AI and not enough with real humans. The things speak and act like humans, but feel lobotomised and submissive. They interact differently, even though they speak the same.
They aren't building it from scratch.
For me, memorizing things like this is useful because context switching from flow state → searching something → back to flow state takes time and mental energy, and can derail me pretty easily.
Somewhat equivalent to TikTok videos. On YT they are frequently clips from longer videos. I assume they offer some form of monetization, so automated low-effort videos could potentially bring in revenue.

I think we need to withhold analysis based on the 34 PPD number. In the article you can see that the rendering projection is quite distorted, with the apparent effect of using more pixels per degree for the center part. They don't account for this when calculating the 34 number. Of course a "fisheye" lens would also be "distorted" and allocate an equal number of pixels to each angle, so it's hard to tell by just eyeballing things. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual PPD number in the center, where it matters, is higher.

I recall the first film opening with bars of a song which also features prominently in the ride.

Apparently the song itself was written for the rides in 1967 [1] and I assume is based off even older pirate shanties. Certainly reminds me of songs from the book Treasure Island (1883).

I'm a fellow Kingdom resident -- there are plenty of ski hills between here and Boston. The ones closer get more play. Stowe is a bigger resort, and it gets more play. Less so between here and Montreal, but there's ski hills north of Montreal that are closer. A place like Littleton, just beyond Cannon Mountain, _is_ brimming with customers every long weekend. Jay (and Burke, which is _really_ a locals' mountain) are very much in the in-between.
I think you might be thinking of litellm? OpenAI is for OpenAI.com (although you can override the base URL it’s far from ideal).
For $1000 you could basically build one today. 5950x (16c cpu) is $400, 128gb kit of ddr4 is $250-300, maybe enough budget left for mobo, ssd, psu, case, cooler if you bought used bits (may also need cheapest gpu on Craigslist depending on your needs). All new ~$1200. Aws/gcp prices are nuts compared to on prem, although hetzner and co would be much cheaper.
Is an assumption. There is no evidence to say we are 100% optimised . Although I think it is likely.
Dry sand has a mass of 1600kg/m^3

Potential energy, U = mgh. So the energy required to raise 1m^3 of sand 1400m is 1600 x 1400 x 9.8 = 22MJ = 6.1kWh

I've no idea how large their mine galleries are, but lets say they're 3m wide x 2m high - in 500m of gallery, we can store 3000m^3 of sand, so that's 18MWh.

I'm sure they've got a lot more space than that, but it just gives some idea of how much sand you're talking about.
Yes this is unfortunately a problem that comes up with our current system. We had to solve this early on by distinguishing "unique" types form "structural" types. For types it is obvious that you want to make sure that these types generate a unique hash, even if they are the same structure:

type UserName = UserName Text
type Password = Password Text

since the entire point in introducing types here is to actually declare them as different from one another.

But for other it might actually be beneficial to recognize that they are the same type, for example:

type Optional a = None | Some a
type Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

To allow for both, you can prefix type with either "structural" or "unique" depending on what behavior you want (unique is the default). We have tossed around the idea of also introducing unique terms which would let you terms like yours as unique terms that should be salted, and let the current behavior of "structural"? terms be the default. The reality is that this hasn't been such a big problem that it has made it to the top of our list yet ;)

Websearch is sputtering sure but that's normal after a challenge like chatgpt.

Search had become awful well before ChatGPT appeared - the final really visible decline was in 2019 I recall. Recent 1st result for "Likely": "LIKELY - Women's Dresses, Tops & More". They've been happy to put anything commercial first for any term.
Script files are typically executable. The whole point here is to make a script using a language that requires compilation. So yeah, mark it as executable, it's a script now.

Apple's vision of web apps was as second class citizens to Apple apps. The outcry was because those web apps, despite caching and saving and other things could not and would not ever be able to do what an Apple app could.

Sherlocking/f.luxing/Dark Skying (maybe less so, the last) is bad enough as it is, but far worse when those as web apps could never do what an Apple app could (f.lux is a perfect example, there was, and I could never imagine a world where Apple would allow a web app to control color temperature on their phone).

I agree that you can't make this that simple, you never know what will happen. But I have been in the game business as a developer/ publisher / whatever for decades and worked for Disney. Disney more then any other company I know of (maybe except EA) has squandered its opportunities and acquisitions in the game space consistently. Disney Interactive has died and been recreated I think three times in my career. If I started to make a list of all the game companies or game adjacent (Maker Studio) I probably would miss a bunch. And none of them worked. Disney has a really strong culture that has not in the past fit well with the video game business.

ATT sold its media business to Discovery, which is now Warner Bros Discovery, which is old media.

Also, there is still Paramount.

Sony Pictures started in 1987, so that should qualify as old media too.

And there is also Lionsgate.

Disney is by far the biggest and most relevant, though.

> contribute to the vision of what could happen next, you're going to hate working under three layers of management, all of which have to be seen to be "doing something," so they tell you how to do your job even though they have no actual idea how to do your job.

This is by far the biggest frustration for smart people. You can't just have so many layers of mediocrity have authority over smart people. When you have so many mediocre people who want to be seen as "doing something", they are literally destroying the innovation by virtue of just existing in that company at that level.

The solution is actually pretty simple - make management track people go on call. That way, they develop empathy for customers, engineers and services. Make them spend less time on committees, promo packets, performance reviews and instead, spend more time on services. Make them fix bugs. Be close to the work that they are supposedly the face of.
