I think the extent to which writers have to get creative in finding sources for novel pieces is taken for granted. I did not realize how tactical and painstaking the process is to create the content that I casually skim and enjoy. So I strengthened my appreciation of the process
Yep, but what do you expect from an industry near its end. They tend to do better with the front page stories, but a lot of the local/filler stuff now looks like this. You're not going to have meticulously crafted articles with editors to ensure its up to the papers standards when you don't have the ad (or subscription) dollars coming in to support that level of output. So now it often looks more like a blog than a newspaper... plenty of more prestigious news organizations are looking just as bad these days.
It is not absurd at all. Just look and how every PC ships with Windows (and lately doesn't even allow you to boot an alternative OS unless you fiddle with Secure Boot in the BIOS). There is consequently little incentive to make Windows better, and we all know what a complete piece of utter garbage it is. Their next milestone is shoving ads in Outlook and your start menu.

And then the same can be said about a lot of Microsoft products. DirectX is no different; it's the canonical Microsoft piece of shit, and that goes all the way back to the OpenGL days [1].

“Goody-2’s self-righteous responses are ridiculous but also manage to capture something of the frustrating tone that chatbots like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini can use when they incorrectly deem a request breaks the rules.“

I don’t know the intent of Goody-2’s creators, but Wired is deliberately missing the point here. The problem is that massive corporations are making rules at all instead of making politically-neutral products and letting consumers use them however they please. Calling the enforcement of corporate approved viewpoints “safety” reeks of the French Revolution’s “committe on public safety” which went around beheading political opponents of the new government.
It's considered rude to interrupt someone who's reading. Reading takes you out of a social situation. When someone is on their phone they're still present enough to talk to. They're very different activities.
That seems to be specifically about the transfer fees that kick in when you're leaving GCP. It looks like there's an application process to get the free egress for moving off the cloud, so they haven't just done away with egress costs altogether.

This article is about egress costs for just operating a service that talks to the outside world, not just when migrating data to a new service.

Except you paid the cost for the fiber connection. You also get one more 9 of reliability from their DC.
Well, this sort of illustrates the point, because to me an object that would be a vehicle if it was functioning is clearly still a vehicle. A broken-down vehicle vehicle is still a vehicle, even if it's non-functioning. A car doesn't stop being a vehicle while it's in the shop.

Perhaps there is another category for vehicles which are irreparably damaged and will never function again. But even then, I want to define it as a broken vehicle, a sub-type of a vehicle.
This is also what comes to mind with all of the "just go out and socialize like the good old days" suggestions. Being an introvert I'd still rather just stay indoors and enjoy my niche hobbies, if anything I'd be less social due to not being able to meet people with similar sets of interests to share spur of the moment thoughts with.

Hell, the way I got even more into tech (in the very early smartphone days) in the first place was because my friend group - which isn't easily changed when you're not an adult - was not very accepting of my hobbies/interests. I still remember the mocking I got for not being able to match the quality of a AAA game or mocked for tinkering with electronics by people who were 100% confident in their opinion that cheap earbuds would spontaneously explode.

There's also the mention of asking for directions instead of using map apps, have we already forgotten how frustrating an experience it used to be, trying to find a place, getting vague and often wrong directions, circling around the same place until finally getting the right directions?
Meowler is really cool. Like, I don’t get it. But I love it.
Note that this is not enforceable.

So it's not going to work, because they would not need it if people could gone without phone, and people who can't won't stio just because a bunch of other people will tell them it's better.

How to read from a TCP socket (but were too afraid to ask)
Wow, I live five minutes from that tire. Since I was young I've passed it a million times on the freeway and also checked out the service enterence for it but it was all gated off.

Yes, as someone reasonably familiar with Chinese politics, history, and military modernisation (for a westerner, anyway), watching our societies sleepwalk into war under the mistaken impressions that 1) the war will be short or 2) we are likely to win, is disturbing. I am genuinely worried about the likely results of the American public psyche when thousands of American soldiers are dead within the first week and there's no feasible military option to break a PLA blockade on Taiwan. I think for a lot of Americans who are used to American military supremacy in the GWOT, including a lot of Americans who weren't even alive for Soviet conventional overmatch, the idea that the USA could lose (not be 'unable to win and give up', but actually physically unable to prevent their enemy from achieving their objectives or seizing and holding territory) is literally unfathomable to them, like the sun rising in the west tomorrow. I am genuinely worried that the US population would overwhelmingly support a nuclear response, even though I trust the American government to not be that stupid.
Looks like this is another case of "Microsoft loves Open Source" then.

It's hard to correctly visualize something when the provided visuals are abhorrently wrong, though, isn't it?

There's a world of difference between an old free-standing Long Lines tower and the straight-and-narrow guyed tower that actually disappeared, just as there is also a world of difference stature between Roseanne Barr and Gwen Stefani.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but each of those thousand words has negative value when they're simply wrong.
The point of the game is to illustrate this behavior. That is why they use a real-world example, to produce different results when different people are asked the same question. It's not a math problem.
It's unclear to me what benefit AI has on the search. Airport, start-end date. It does suggestions but the website has no information about me, or asks about preferences so anything without AI could come up with the same results. A user can't fine-tune, for example when the 1 flight and 3 hotels selected aren't to their liking.

The website uses a mouse-tracker (https://www.smartlook.com/). You'll need a privacy policy and give users the option to opt-out ("cookie banner").

The form sets the current date as default. Are people really looking to plan a trip that starts today? The airport field could be pre-filled with a nearby airport.

Click on 'buy this trip' does nothing, not even a message. The website doesn't say it's MVP or beta, a real user would be more than disappointed and never come back.

On a large computer screen the button 'Get my personal trip plan" doesn't do anything. On small screen apparently it scrolls the page down. On large screen I assumed it was broken.

You make the following comment regarding artificial stupidity systems (AI)

> since it knows how to correctly apply exist concepts to previously unexplored areas

and yet these systems know nothing at all. Far too many people (including the developers of such systems) have failed to understand that none of these systems can go beyond the programming that humans have incorporated into them. Yes, they appear to exhibit certain [abilities] but no more than any other essentially mechanical device and the limited capabilities that we have been able to design in them.

You can certainly pose questions and these systems (within the constraints of the programming involved in them) can retrieve and correlate data that is accessible. Bus the insights drawn will require human involvement.

Over decades, I have built tools to help in the analysis of all sorts of data sets and it has taken a human asking the [right] questions to get appropriate outcomes.

We do not understand our own intelligence let alone being able to build any artificial intelligent system that can operate on its own.

What does amaze me though is that we create natural intelligence systems all the time and they are called children. I have been avidly watching the development of my youngest grandchild and she makes an absolute mockery of any artificial system we have built anywhere.

In a very real sense, every artificial stupidity system (AI) that we have built is as complicated as a hammer or a knife.

It is what we (human beings) do with these simple tools that determine the outcomes.
As an introvert the last thing I want is random people deciding that me trying to enjoy some peace on a park bench is license to try to "improve" my life by talking to me. Almost every stranger who has thought they were "improving" my life by talking to me, has either had no impact, or actively made it worse.

Plus, it's such a culturally dependent thing, Americans are known for always engaging in little bits of random conversation and pleasantries with total strangers, but other cultures can see it as either cheap and shallow or weird and creepy, and of course if someone sees it as either of those, it isn't going to help their loneliness.
Wise, lucky, terrifying: The surprising 4k-year history of dragons
Sure. Now.

It's an Overton Window. Business executives and their big investors are the feudal overlords who are decreasingly benevolent liege lords.

What is abhorrent now slowly becomes normalized. Look at CEOs who said, shortly after some of the more brutal start opining about how everyone needs to RTO or GTFO At least one of those CEOs said they needed a bit more Elon in them. They meant his ruthlessness with his employees.

And the window moves.
If you search for launchers in F-Droid, regular ones are largely nonexistent / unmaintained (Neolauncher has some repo activity, but the last actual release is from two years ago).

Instead you'll find it's full of lazy KISS clones that brag about the "minimalism" and "productivity" of search-based launchers... I'm sure that has nothing to do with those being much, much easier to code than ordinary graphical launchers :/

Kvaesitso is the exception, and the one I currently use - it's technically search-based, but it can add enough icons and widgets to the homepage so that during everyday use you don't actually need to type the names of your apps like a caveman.
This is a great breakdown, although it doesn't go into any detail on the distance trade offs of each transmission type, which is an important part of the comparison. I look forward to when they go into this part of the analysis.

If true that does indeed sound quite ridiculous.
Anything can lead to war if the leadership of various nations are unwilling to find ways to de-escalate tensions and engage in cooperative multi-lateral trade agreements. Peace is a choice.
The longer I think about something, the dumber AI gets.

I have given our internal knowledgebase documents to ChatGPT and asked for summaries, and it adds in things from the general internet that are wrong to very wrong contradicting our KB (we are very far off the beaten path of conventional audio studio design testing).
Speculating: Twilio or any other telephony software
I thought Amusing Ourselves to Death was really interesting. I almost agree with it, but I reject his basic thesis that the medium so rigidly defines the form of content. It was written in the 80s, and he seems to say that television shows and broadcast news, as they existed in the 80s, are the only way way for video to exist (namely, episodic TV shows and news made of short and jarring cuts). I basically agree that that format is less intellectually sophisticated than longer forms, but I don't think that form is limited by the television set. As time has passed and "television" is a more amorphous concept, maybe that is clearer. But that short, attention-getting format is driven by profit, especially ad revenue. I think one only needs to watch a good documentary to challenge the author's central thesis. But I think a lot of the book actually holds up well and can be mapped onto streaming and social media. I think it pairs well with Manufacturing Consent.
The license (and the code) for dxil.dll/libdxil.so isn't in that repo, they just include the blob in releases. If you look at a release you'll see an additional LICENSE-MS.txt that just covers that dxil signing library.
I love rainwave, it's a excellent site for gaming music.
I do not believe that most people use their phones on the toilet at all, much less daily. It would be incredibly stupid to risk dropping your phone in the toilet just so you have something to look at for the <1 min it takes to do your business.
Yes. Same thing applies: the book is deeper and more nuanced than the movie. There’s just more room.

Modern 8 to 10 episode series can get close to being as nuanced as a good book. You simply need space to go deep, no amount of cleverness will help you do that in a short format.
can be built as a part of busybox too, which I've found useful a few times on embedded linux systems with limited resources/program space
I still wish someone would take up the torch from ZLauncher. I still use it on my phone as it's just such a great launcher. I tried Niagara, but I found myself looking for the letters too much. With ZLauncher I can type the letter without even looking at my phone. You might think it would be annoying to have to write multiple letters (like you see people doing in many of the videos about the launcher) but the launcher remembers you most searched for apps for a certain letter. So after a couple searches your frequently used apps will be on top after only one letter. I do wish it had better support for widgets though, especially something like the pop-up widgets from the Blackberry Priv. But all in all it's a great launcher and it's a shame it was discontinued..
Fun little exercise: while reading above, see what happens when mentally substituting “magic” with “AI”, words like “enchantments” with “algorithms” and so on.
Ah, so to reach their hiring destination, their preferred mode of transportation is the bandwagon.
Their list price for storage capacity is only on the order of 2x what S3 charges, and Snowflake and S3 likely both offer discounts. Comparing compute costs is harder.

If I were running a service like Snowflake, I would certainly appreciate the effortless scaling that the major clouds offer. But I also know what I pay for actual servers and roughly what I would pay in a major cloud, and I much prefer the former.
GRRM should probably use that as something to refer to as people pointing to him completing "the damn book"
I'm pretty sure we're just going round in circles now. The point is that people disagree about everything, so anything you leave up to "common sense" will cause disagreement. Any you can't possibly define rules for everything either.
You'll need to touch it again. These paid services tend to change all the time.

You also need to pay them which is an event.
One thing I love is the automatic app launch when there is a single match in the search panel.

I agree.

Third Voice was a good idea at the wrong time. I don't think opposition from site owners perceiving it as defacing thier sites would carry as much weight today.

But something unchanged is the spam threat.

Good luck!
I treated my college campus like this. I had tons of secret nooks and crannies, rarely used single-occupant bathrooms, good reading chairs or study areas, even found a working shower in an old CS building that used to be dorms. In winter I would know the route through the complex of buildings and rarely used passages and connections to reduce my time spent outdoors.
It all started in a few years earlier. Google had determined that there was a strong correlation between understanding fundamental computer science and being a strong software engineer, so they began testing for computer science fundamentals. At the time lots of companies were trying to mimic Google's success and it quickly became an industry standard. People began just studying how to answer these questions. The population of people that are good at these types of interviews shifted from hardcore detail oriented programmers with academic backgrounds to mostly people that spend time practicing leetcode style questions.
> The country's rating was cut to "A2," which is five notches above investment grade, while its credit outlook was kept at negative by Moody's, meaning a further downgrade is possible.

Here's Moody's rating system (the not-too-long version) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_credit_rating

Briefly put, this is a pretty small move, on a scale that has a lot notches on it.
They’d be tired of your shit because you’d be acting like an ass, not because you’d be breaking any game rules.
I feel insane whenever the Svelte reactivity thing is touted to me as an improvement over React state. Surely it’s not so hard to internalise JS equality rules that such a huge break from convention is necessary?

PS. I looked up the reactivity token docs on the Svelte website to make sure I was remembering correctly, but it repeatedly crashes the latest version of Safari on iOS. Oops!
How is that compatible with the GPL licence from autoconf?
Even if I enjoy leetcoding and I do, there are tons of things I would rather do before that, and that are far more useful, such as building and working on side projects.

So to me leetcoding is a waste of time and less fun than actually building something, having other people use what you have built. And there is infinite things to build there and learn.
Ruby is nice in this regard though :-)

What? It's no more rude to interrupt someone reading than it is to interrupt someone messing around on their phone.
The way I (and I think the majority) interpreted it, was:
"What did the person who wrote this rule intend?" i.e. The spirit of the rule, not the letter.

Obviously, no one expects the rule to cover all edge cases, so we have to extrapolate what the rule writer meant to say.
You can be obtuse if you like, but the point is that if you try and think of what the most likely interpretation is, you can nail it on the head with no issue.
It depends a lot on what demographics you're talking about. Unfortunately, the loudest and most politically empowered very likely fall in line with what you're saying. There have been massive anti-war demonstrations in the wake of every US military action in the last 50-70 years, but their voices are not exactly welcomed by the establishment.

This is tangential, but I believe your cookie banner is not GDPR compliant (and if it’s not compliant, why bother?).

It only has the option of accepting cookies, and does not specify the kind of cookies.
No, "common sense" is the default. And where that is not enough - you can have rules for most common cases, to settle any dispute. And if there are edge cases that frequently cause disturbance where no clear rules cover them - then those cases can be put into the rules. It is not that complicated.
Yeah, storage is much more competitive, but there have been leaks on what hardware they run on, their margins are incredible, which makes sense since they are selling software, not hardware!

tbf, snowflakes whole thing & what makes them "next gen" vs a traditional datawarehouse is that you dont may much for data at rest. You pay as little as possible for the "warehousing" part, and pay mostly/only for compute/querying.

>Yes, exactly. If you can find a way to get good enough to do it, you're guaranteed a great income.

You can't replicate years or decades of Cobol project experience to "get good at it", out of thin air by doing some side projects at home. No amount of individual self study can prepare you for industry specific cruft and issues you've never encountered. If it were that accessible, a lot of people would do it.
Took me a while to understand that taking notes is a waste of time, but in France you are taught to go to class and mindlessly just write down EVERYTHING the professor writes on the board. And the professor will just spend 1-2h just writing with 0 interaction. It’s really sad and it’s surprising that we are good at stuff as a nation.

Btw this is university for you in France. Maybe we are good as a nation because everything before uni is actually good, and people who are good actually don’t go to uni but to grandes ecoles ? (Equivalent of ivy leagues)
