Autorouting would for sure be a valuable tool to add to EEs toolchains. The reason we focused on the language first is because it is critical to provide high quality information to autorouter for them to do a good job. And achieving that with a schematic is tough, as it only captures part of the information required to doing a good job laying out the circuit. A bunch of information is currently implicit.

Also author do not really try to evaluate if the evolution comes from this generation suffering from enshitification of social medias they used to love or if it is just a natural part in one's life to reconsider some activities, especially when reaching the thirties and fourties.

It could also be based on the social circles those person haves. I had never been big into social medias but when I moved in another country and divorced 5 years ago I found myself with a completely reduced social circle apart from my coworkers. Most locals are very welcoming but also very superficial/hypocritical: you will meet people in a bar and most they will act like a long time friend and give you their number but past that first encounter most are either not reliable or will decline all invitations because they already have a big enough social circles and stacked agenda and don't care inviting you. So you are mostly stuck with meeting other expatriates who are more keen to build relationships and for that it is easier to enter organized events (otherwise you just meet tourist that leave the week after). Most social events where I would have the possibility to encounter people are now only announced on social medias so I ended up using facebook for a 2-3 years at fourty-something despite not liking that platform.
You're right about "code" not being the right solution for everything. In the case of the layout we have indeed already already implemented an MVP of the "snippets" approach you described: https://atopile.io/blog/2024/02/02/-layout-reuse-keeps-getti...

A big part of the code is that creating a wizard for each issue it a tall order to develop, but through expressive and composable language we should be able to articulate the parameters for the configuration just as as clearly and generically solve that class of problems.

The acquisition talked about in the original post wasn't much more than a life-saver for the company so in that regard you could call it life-changing in that many of the fine folks I worked with wouldn't have lost their job.

It would have been very very far from what you usually call an exit, though. Nobody would have cashed out, except maybe some of the VCs and I'm not sure if they'd have called it a successful exit in terms of financial win.
You’re conflating enthusiast with early adopter.

The Quest is not early adopter, it is several generations in, and is the culmination of multiple product lines. The original Rift or the Vive were early adopter for this generation of VR headsets, excluding multiple previous attempts at the market. Factoring in the attached PC needed to drive the experience, they were expensive.

The raspberry pi was not an early adopter system. It was a consumer friendly evolution of many SBCs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer?wprov=sf...).

Lots of music equipment is very expensive. People pay thousands for synths and thousands for musical instruments.

The Yamaha GX1/707 was 60k at launch. The macintosh was over 7k in today’s money. The first HD TVs for consumers started in the 7k range.

I’m not sure how you’re defining “early adopter” but nothing you listed is early adopter. All your examples are quite late in the respective areas, when they were getting targeted for mass consumer adoption.
That highly depends on the execution environment. In Erlang for instance that would be an acceptable solution. But most other environments don't deal nearly as gracefully with runtime errors.

What does it matter? Yeah, at the very bottom of it all there will be a loop. I wouldn't attribute that to C but to the von Neumann architecture.

The point is that by getting rid of loops you remove one way of telling the computer "How" to do it. Start here, do it in this order, combine the data this way.

When "How" is a solved problem, it is a waste of your brain to think about that again. "What" is a better use of your brain cycles.
I don't understand why banking apps don't work with root/ROMs. In my country, if your phone is rooted or you have a custom ROM installed, banking apps just warn you about it, saying "Your phone is rooted, if you don't know what it means your safety could be compromised", allowing you to disable further warnings.

From the POV of countries that do not have tons of such bombs is much better, also bombs exploding inside bunkers or submarines should make less damage then exploding on areas where it was computed it would make the most damage.

But IMO this will be used to scare the nuclear weapons owners, they will need to invest a lot into shielding all their bombs or reducing the number of such bombs, probably at that time when this tech is possible we will have antimater bombs

> Part of aiming for objectivity, and better understanding, isn't worrying about which direction a correction takes. At all. Only that it is a good correction.

I don't think you fully grasp the implications of arbitrarily correcting old measures. In the end, and accepting at face value these corrections, you're still manipulating old data to use the result of said manipulation as the whole basis of your hypothesis.

This approach automatically leads to questions on whether you draw your conclusions from the data, or you change the data to fit your conclusions.

Do you understand the risk that this poses in any discussion on a politically sensitive topic?

Think of the hit to the credibility of any claim supported by this data manipulation if later your method is deemed untrustworthy because it needs further updates, and how it would look if you had to correct it to move the dial either way (i.e., "they were lying from the start and are now covering their ass" vs "they felt their lie wasn't fooling anyone and decided to double down.")
New social networks are exciting until the business needs to make money. The first phase of a social network is funded by investors. So the developers make it super-interesting and easy to join. Then, it reaches a stage where the investors want to see a profit. So developers need to convert an interesting and exciting social network into a money-making machine. Feeds won't be ordered by time anymore, ads lurk around in every corner, and algorithms will be tuned to push profitable content over interesting content. Before that, social media was a bargain for the user. Now, it's a bargain for the investor.

> I think the biggest problem with OKR's laser focus on measurement, though, is that not everything should be measured, even if you can!

That reminds me of a quote on overemphasizing quantitative data:

> But when the McNamara discipline is applied too literally, the first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. The second step is to disregard that which can't easily be measured or given a quantitative value. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. The fo[u]rth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.

> It is a short, fatal step from the statement, "There are many intangibles and imponderables that we can't put on our computers," to the statement, "Let's measure what we can and forget about the intangibles." This step poses an even greater danger to us in the future than in the past.

The Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights is exactly what it says. That you're framing it as abolishing some other group of people is quite simply incorrect.

Please actually read it yourself rather than biased articles from others complaining about it:

I would be surprised if you could back up your claim with any excerpts from the text of the declaration itself.
When things are growing, any nonsense is thought to be "the way". OKRs, matrixes, oh they must be so smart with all those "systems thinking". Somehow none of those systems work when things are going down. Look at Google and Intel today, none of those OKRs saved them did it?

It's the same thing with CEOs. I don't remember which book it was, but it showed how the CEO changing didn't matter at all but was just natural market cycles.

> You are naively missing company profit as the reward for company risk

I wrote:

compensation = (value produced) - (cost to employ the person) - (opportunity cost) - (risk)

Note the word "risk" in there.

> Apple makes a revenue of 2.4 million per employee.

Revenue is not profit. And did you factor in the value of stock options as compensation? Total employee compensation is a lot more than salary.

> When someone

The value produced by a particular "someone" surely varies wildly among Apple employees.
Big discussion of original source yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39258560
Well designed schematics are great. Especially if you are sharing them with your team as documentation.

The point we would like to move towards is one where atopile enables you to generate high quality documentation about your design in a similar fashion to a datasheet but not entangling the documentation with the source design, which is what a schematic forces you to do. There are some features we'd want to build that could enable that like a visualizer for important parts of a schematic, a fan out view of the consumed interfaces around a chip, the results of a spice simulation...
I was thinking a sequencer for modular synths. Took me embarrassingly long to realize what it actually was about.
Couple of factors lead to companies "embracing" SMS:

1. A phone number is a useful piece of information to have on a customer (to sell to someone or whatever).

2. Some (most?) people are too dumb to manage passwords/TOTP and shouldn't be allowed to use a computer. As a result, everyone suffers and is forced to use broken SMS 2FA that can be SIM-swapped.

3. Companies want to stop bots and use phone numbers for that, even if it's a non-issue for bot operators in practice. A little inconvenience, sure, but it doesn't change the bigger picture in any way.
>There is the flipside also, which is that if you misrepresent your own value and cinch an offer higher than you're worth, you'll be first to go when downsizing comes -- moreso the higher the number.

This is really an edge case. I would err towards earning more, having more saveable income, and growing into your pay.
> I do remember a time when Facebook was purely about your closest friends and family

I used to be a staunch defender of FB on that basis - while everyone else was complaining of having hundreds and thousands of not-really-real friends and not finding any value, I was finding it useful to keep up with my actual friends in small ways. Friends who are all over the world and who may not see each other for quite some time. In those situations you often lose track of each other's day to day lives and the friendship slowly feels more remote and fades.

But they killed that. Step 1 was to take away all options that would allow me to see a chronological feed of what my friends are up to in favour of their algorithm. Step 2 was to insert more third party stuff whether I wanted it or not. No, I don't want to see short videos of the girl with the cleavage or the guy with the car or whatever it is that dog is up to. Please stop trying to make me.

Step 3 seems to have been to just flood everything with bullshit.

How would you like to follow this? This local group is suggested for you! This group that is not local too! How about one for nostalgia of a band you've never liked? How about 1500 variations on star wars meme groups? OK, maybe now one friend post. Now how about a cat thing? Or something about conservation? Here's a fan group for an old movie!

The number of IRL friend posts is now much smaller because people have moved off the platform as it becomes less useful. And it's harder to find the content they do generate because they're buried in shit.

By trying to increase my levels of engagement with the platform, FB, you've utterly poisoned it. I presume it works for some portion of users as they must be reporting favourable engagement metrics. But I'm pretty close to just giving up and its network effect feels to me like it's just in a death spiral.

At this point, what project management technique actually is working well?
I think a fundamental problem with all management culture is that fundamentally, managers do not want plans to change. I suspect there's some systematic issue at work here, but in the kinds of people who are selected for these roles, how they're evaluated, and so on.

I guess change requires you to be able to argue for change, and against the status quo, and management culture is the opposite of this.

Whilst the super-structure of management culture exists, all these systems will be corrupted to fit it. They aren't fundamentally engaging with any real-world incentive structure.

OKRs are bullshit because they rot the entire willpower-based culture of an organization and replace it with a mindless metric-optimizing machine. People should be judged by their ability to do a good job at their jobs, not by their ability to hit stupid metrics at the expense of everything else.

As far as I can tell being "data-driven" is completely toxic to long-term organizational health.
Indeed! We do support quite a few parameters for component selection today, but definitely want to add a lot more. I think this opens up some exciting possibilities, for example not needing to explicitly call out a part number for generic components in your source code, retaining information about what the requirements of that part are. Of course in production you would want a lock file to make sure things are not changing arbitrarily, but I personally would have loved something like that while I was dealing with chip shortages a few years back.

I agreed with your earlier point about how the only reason to take something in as a meaningful artistic experience is that someone else built it with intention. However I do think these AR things can be useful as professional tools. That's really where they belong, not slapped to the faces of rich dipshits wandering down 5th Avenue. For industrial design - I could see that. Personally if they dropped the price by 4/5ths, I could justify it as an alternative to constantly greasing up my tablet searching through PDFs of 1980s Chiltons manuals. If it showed me where the screws or wires went and was even correct half the time that could be worth it too.

But it's one thing to dream about a world where you don't have to go read the car manual, and another thing to dream about a world where you don't have to live in reality.
