I'm sure "Bard" was primarily a Shakespeare reference (The Bard of Avon, frequently just The Bard), and I liked it too. An appropriate name for a technology that's all about language.

Gemini sounds cool and sci-fi though, and maybe it's a bit easier to localize since it's just straight Latin.
Try “Moshi-moshi?” for a Japanese flavor.
I also have mine right next to me, but instead of upgrading to KT880, I downgraded to KT133 board with an ISA slot for my Sound Blaster 16. I really wanted a KT133A with 133MHz FSB, but no luck. Those boards are so hard to find.

Not bad!
This is deeply needed, one of the big causes of housing inflation is using it to launder money. Higher housing costs are better because you can launder more. Its like when rich people can't have a money trail for some shady activity so they sell art to each other for a wild amount. This will require all owners to be named instead of a nameless llc. Should help curb the process.

When you buy diapers you are paying for the manufacturing cost and the profit margin. When you use Meta's products, what are you paying for? That's what makes them closer to cigarettes. Tobacco companies sold a lie to their customers.

Meta too sells the lie that its products are paid for by ads. Its products are paid for by surveilling users, building behavioral profiles from the data that is collected, and then giving other companies access to that behavioral data in order to manipulate users to specific ends. In this quest to build better behavioral profiles, the products are made to be as addictive as possible, eating away people's time which could have been utilized in objectively better ways.

How to Structure a Go Project: Start Simple, Refactor Later

Currently, STIR/SHAKEN is only required for VOIP and intermediate carriers but a lot of carriers have implemented or are in progress. Here's a recent report from the GSMA: https://www.gsma.com/get-involved/gsma-membership/gsma_resou...

Robocalls every election season go out to targeted communities telling them the wrong polling location.

I will leave as an exercise to the reader what political slant those communities almost always have. The impact of those must be very hard to measure.
Some people correct the opposite direction from ‘the office’ (say, spending time in nature after working at a computer all day). Some go whole hog - spending all their extra time working on hobby projects, for instance.

I guess the same thing applies if your job is being a manipulator, murderer, and genocidal maniac?
> Atheism was first used to describe a self-avowed belief in late 18th-century Europe, specifically denoting disbelief in the monotheistic Abrahamic god. In the 20th century, globalization contributed to the expansion of the term to refer to disbelief in all deities, though it remains common in Western society to describe atheism as "disbelief in God".

The complication of the term for debate purposes only seems to come up in intellectual circles like ours, here.

Icelandic Met Office Eruption Update
In the early 90s--and even into the mid--at a computer hardware company there were still execs who had their admins take care of all that stuff. There was a big mindset to break, probably mostly with a new generation, for many senior people in the computer industry. (To be clear, most people used email all the time--initially internal and then external as well over time.)
As somebody who's company has been involved in creating those maps and has been accused of "destroying property values and ruining lives" there are some really complex trade offs that go into these things.

I would love to see similarly low startup times with a real JS-to-WASM compiler (rather than today's approach of compiling a JS runtime to WASM).

With WASM GC landed, and WASI preview 3 taking on async / event loops, it seems like this should be possible soon, except for the very large task of actually writing the compiler.
The beauty of the simulation hypothesis is that we know nothing about the "real" world one level up. For all we know, they can grow a body on-demand and slap any set of patterns into whatever they have for brains.

This seems ideal for places you use Lambda as glue, like for routing requests or authorization policy decisions. But for application that doing a lot of thinking, keep in mind v8 jitless is about 3x faster than QuickJS, and with JIT it’s about 30x faster than quickjs. I’m curious to see where the break-even point is for various workloads comparing the two, and also numbers versus Bun, which starts quicker than Node but has comparable top-end JIT performance.
Yes the government-provided schooling tends to be hyper-local in the US, though there are exceptions.

This was (along with other things) used to avoid regulations banning racial segregation of schools (since neighborhoods were already segregated due to policies like redlining).

When people perceive one school to be better than another, they may use various forms of fraud to get their children into the school; using the grandparent's address is common (since grandparents may own a house in the suburbs while the parents are younger and live in an apartment in a poorer neighborhood).
BeOS squinted so hard its native file system BeFS came out as an impressionist painting: the live metadata made it very database-like in behaviour with live search results (back in the mid nineties) but fairly lacklustre “actual file system” credentials.
That’s the case in the US as well. What do you think agriculture subsidies are?

If you want countries that don’t subsidize agriculture that has been Aussie and NZ since the 80s iirc. Though I haven’t lived in those countries for a decade or two now and Covid and various financial panics over the last decades resulted in a variety of corporate hand outs so it seems plausible that those businesses have got some government support since then.
Is this viewed as a bad thing? I suppose the person who waits slightly more might be annoyed, but would they rather their ticket cost more to avoid these line skips?
Fascinating... I've not read Pirsig's book but have, of course, heard of it. A quick search led me to wikipedia and this bit:

> "Quality," or "value," as described by Pirsig, cannot be defined because it empirically precedes any intellectual construction of it, namely due to the fact that quality (as Pirsig explicitly defines it) exists always as a perceptual experience before it is ever thought of descriptively or academically.

> I actively avoid reading any comments on any website with only 3 or 4 exceptions (like HN).

Son if you don't think HN isn't full of shill-bots then I've got a bridge to sell you. Hell, that's half the point: y-combinator isn't paying for this because they love discussion.

The problem with posts like the one above is that these exact "i'm exhausted" posts are known to bots, too, and could be manufactured with reasonably good verisimilitude; easily done pre-GPT-3. So are you just exhausted by the spam, or is this just another facet of the Russian Propaganda Firehose?

If they can get reliably useful AI through voice into maps/navigation, it will be a substantial improvement to the driving experience. It's really frustrating to manage destinations and waypoints while driving. I just checked the process to see if I'm not keeping up and 1. the help docs are out of date. 2. the waypoint search results provides tap points for destinations 10 miles off a route, but shows only 3 pixel red dots for otherwise equally weighted options that are literally on the existing route.

To be fair, the competition is ChatGPT, which is an impressively bad product name, among the worst for a consumer product ever. And it still hasn’t been renamed (perhaps a testament to the fact that names aren’t that important after all)

Bard was infuriatingly bad too, but more on a subjective level. And they correctly changed it, thank god. At least it’s easy to pronounce.

Software engineers have a weird obsession with Latin, Greek gods etc. Sounds smart and epic I guess. Personally I would have preferred “Steve French”.
I used to think like this before I worked on projects with more coordination and visibility than just other devs.

The daily standups are for management and whoever else is invited from time to time. You're 100% correct that you shouldn't wait for tomorrow's standup to discuss something technical with another developer. You shouldn't be getting lost in the weeds during standups anyway. That's one of many reasons standups can take forever.

Also, a well run standup can be as simple as one person sharing their screen while walking through the tasks and asking yes/no questions. You don't need everyone to speak all the time because as you said that wastes time. Anyone can read the issues statuses at any time or query what they need.

These meetings are for more insightful questions than that from management: "You and a couple of other devs on this story said your tasks are blocked because this servicenow ticket for another team is still in progress? I've reached out and they said they're going to be done by noon. Will you complete your in progress tasks by then or should we reassign or push their dates back so you can continue this higher priority ticket?" ... "Great I'll update the backlog for the sprint starting next week and your time in the capacity tracker" ... "You scheduled PTO? We've got everything all set for the next sprint so no worries. Have a nice vacation!" It's not a dream. Agile done right is like this.

If you hate the idea of a meeting like this it's possible your managers suck and don't listen to you. They're supposed to be working for you to keep the runway clear. When they hear all the status updates all at once in daily meetings they should be getting ready for the next sprint and coming up with good ideas behind the scenes. That includes bringing in resources, making sure dependent tasks on other projects are completed so you don't get blocked, etc.

See parallel construction comment above.
iTunes was a complex mess with too much functionality in one app, but for many years it worked really well for me. Replacing it with the new apps has been a process of removing functionality I relied on, obfuscating and making less user-friendly existing functionality, and pushing people into using cloud services. Some examples:

- Older versions of iTunes had a great "home sharing" function that allowed sharing the library with devices running iTunes on the LAN. I used this very extensively. iTunes running on my 2008 Mac Pro still runs the server, and there is kinda-sorta client functionality in Apple Music, a bit hidden, but it is not reliable (constantly disconnects mid-song). Also, there was never an iOS client which would stream from this server. There were some half-baked attempts at open-source apps that would do it, but Apple broke them by encrypting the streaming across my own LAN.

- iTunes stored podcast and audiobook files in a simple and transparent way. Now podcasts (accessed using the separate Apple Podcasts app) are stored buried in Library subdirectories with long gibberish filenames. Although they're really just MP3 files with extra tags, it's now very difficult to just grab an episode by filename and save it elsewhere or forward it to a friend.

- iTunes had best-in-class tag editing. Apple Music's tag editing is buggy.

- Don't get me started on the "iTunes Match" debacle. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/05/itunes-match-users-repo...

Jobs had a vision of the Mac as a media hub for managing your collection and I liked that vision. Apple even (eventually) removed DRM from iTunes downloads. Forcing me into DRM and subscription services? No thanks. What I've done instead is, gradually, buy many dozens of used CDs and rip them, to replace any lossy iTunes files I purchased years ago. My entire library is now CD + ALAC (lossless) + purchased FLAC files that some vendors offer (and which were never supported on iTunes or Apple Music, but play flawlessly from the Synology). I use rsync to sync my iTunes library to my Synology NAS, and use Synology's free iOS apps to stream the whole library on our iOS devices, or on laptops and desktops, just use the web player. It works great and I can stream to stereo receivers without any difficulty as well using an AudioEngine B-Fi. No streaming services, no monthly bills.

What should be done is something else entirely. Apple and Google should offer, as part of their standard software, a personal "phone robot". When you get a new phone, you spend 15 minutes recording various phrases, and from that point on you just have the robot answer for you.

When the robot talks to these spammers and telemarketers, it will try to keep them on the phone as long as possible. A minute would be good, 10 minutes would be better. As the spammers tried to avoid this, Apple and Google could improve the robots to counter.

And, within a few months of this, at most, that industry would just be dead. It can't afford to spend a half hour on each call trying to determine if they've got a real live knucklehead who will start sending cash to Nigerian princes, or just bad software tricking operators who don't speak English as a first language. Their margins would drop, their need for more sophisticated AI to try to determine if they were talking to a real person or not would skyrocket, etc. It just wouldn't be economically viable to continue.
They have to fear swatting. If you’ve got the time and knowledge of where the individual likely lives, a hunting app for instance will show who owns each land plot in clear-text lol.

That requires you to open an new terminal window. You've never been working in a standard terminal, tried to run a command that requires elevation, and been annoyed that you have to open a new window losing your command history?

> "Apple is another strong player (but they don't have productivity tools like docs, sheets or youtube)."

Can anyone help me understand how Apple allows Siri to remain so absurdly incompetent? Last night I watched the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, in which Larry David's Siri interactions devolve into an apoplectic rant -- and part of the reason it was so funny is that it's so relatable. I rarely even try Siri anymore, but when I do it's still just abysmal. Are they deliberately handicapping it, to boost the perceived relative benefits of a future successor?

I looked for it on YouTube (via Invidious) and found it. Not my kind of music but that's not the point.

The point is that if somebody likes to keep a copy of some songs discovered during a day of autoplaying through YouTube, downloading them is very easy for anybody that wants to. Maybe it's easy to do it also from Spotify but I don't use it so I have no idea.

When it comes to linux-in-linux virtualization of GUIs you can do much better than virt-manager/vmware/virtualbox nowadays.

At the end of the day, it's yet another $189/yr cost + $99/yr/family member cost to add in. For a family of 4, that's $585/yr or $48/mo.

Generally speaking (however, not absolutely true), wealthy individuals typically have a larger amount of disposable income to potentially allocate to this expense.

It is not unreasonable to conclude that such a service might be more likely to be used in practice by wealthier people.
Sure, I'm for open discussion, but I think it could be argued that it is the central underpinning of Apple's entire ethos. It's a matter of perspective whether this is an arrogant approach or a user- and productivity-friendly design philosophy. Discussing that is great.

Stating that you are forced to use or upgrade a thing, that Apple is somehow giving you something counter to what they have offered or that you have decided to pay for, or that there is some platonic ideal of hardware that Apple should be pursuing is the take that puzzles me. Just... choose another piece of hardware.
