Exactly. Cloud was sold as "simple", but in reality you MUST know about data center operations, security in an effective zero-trust environment, failover vs HA vs load balancing, and so many footguns.

The big advantage to "cloud" was that you can provision more resources in seconds. Existing data centers had terrible non-VM and non-good VM management software that provisioning more CPU, RAM, storage was a weeks or months long trial.

And you can still get a 100k bill for hosting a SINGLE text file, cause DDoS and shitty hosting providers who demand unlimited credit is a thing.
Out of sheer nerdy curiosity, have you read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and if so what did you think?

I didn't realize Dracula lore was among your many sidelines :P
Picked up a m1 mac mini on sale when the m2s came out, and its been a great desktop, runs dual monitors, runs linux in a vm, and the font rendering is amazing to use. It even runs world of warcraft. For a basic daily use PC its a fine machine.

But for windows NUCs, the amd ones are coming down in price and can do pc gaming.

Laptop wise, unless you needs osx, you can get a nice fully loaded gaming laptop much cheaper than a mac pro. But if you need OSX, that mac pros are damn fast and nice to use.

Too bad the apple watch didnt have android support, fitbits are just not as good.

Where does it say only 5% will move jobs?

You underestimate the overlap between GenAI and EVs. Apple is not merely a software company, their AI strategy will not be merely send data to datacenter to run LLMs.

Apple has to run local LLMs heavily amongst its devices, for responsiveness, cost, and privacy reasons. This will entail a holistic effort from batteries to the neural inference chips to the AI models to the user design. Much more complicated than the datacenter only approach.

The car division would have also had people working on the battery, neural chips, UI design, etc. I would estimate 30% at least get moved to AI.
If you can get from A to B faster than a photon in a vacuum could, I'm counting it as FTL.

They've been really inconsistent about it. For a while, communicating through subspace was not quite as long as travel, but it was still a non-zero amount of time. Now, communication seems to be via ansible, and the less said about the wildly varying rates of travel, the better.
God damn! Threat neutralized. And all without starting a new paragraph.

If the keys are that readily available ... I don't think it is "effective" by any definition of the word.
That's interesting. Some of Paul Graham's old essays are about the kind of people who went into law or finance for the money, that there is a mindset where people pursue things for other reasons than making useful products (money, prestige).

I've noticed over the last 10-15 years that computer science became the most popular major at my alma mater. It literally used to be the least popular a couple decades ago. A professor even showed us the data. It's also one of the easier majors now by grade distribution. My thought is that computer science has become like a new business/finance degree and that it attracts people who aren't interested in product creation anymore. Maybe this coincides with what you are seeing.
One thing to take into account is that civil trials don't require the absolute highest standards of proof, such as proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Usually much lower evidentiary standards such as "preponderance of the evidence" and other malarky.
It is a great book, I read it last year and I apply PARA in Obsidian.

OpenAI accuses NYT of hacking ChatGPT

I think more specifically, traditional automaker brands are boring and they garner little public discussion or attention.

Tesla I think is a good example of this -- some have a bad image of Tesla, which is probably in part to their propensity to attract media attention and public hype. When someone puts a Ford Escape on cruise control and crashes, nobody hears about it. If Apple released a car, it would have a ridiculous amount of hype, and ever darn scratch someone put on one would be front page news.
I've got a bunch of these Magalhães at home due to having my parents work at schools.
If I recall correctly, SuperTux was exclusive to the first version of the laptop(there were two) and you can still turn heads nowadays if you take one out in public, which is pretty cool.
Too bad that, despite their ruggedness, the Magalhães 1 had a very frail hard drive whose death meant that the BIOS would lock up completely when booting, not even allowing you to get to the setup menu, which for a kid meant that it became a paperweight.
At the company I work for we send json to kafka and subsiquently to Elastic search with great effect. That's basically 'wide events'. The magical thing about hooking up a bunch of pipelines with kafka is that all of a sudden your observability/metrics system becomes an amazing API for extending systems with aditional automations. Want to do something when a router connects to a network? Just subscribe to this kafka topic here. It doesn't matter that the topic was origionally intended just to log some events. We even created an open source library for writing and running these,pipelines in jupyter. Here's a super simple example https://github.com/bitswan-space/BitSwan/blob/master/example...

People tend to think kafka is hard, but as you can see from the example, it can be extremely easy.

What does Apple‘s walled garden have to do with bluetooth headphones? Now, look at AirPods, simple bluetooth headphones, with tight integration with iOS. I was the one ridiculing Apple for even entering this market and I thought they looked dumb. Sony XMs looked way better.

Now headphones are a sizable market for Apple. So many of my friends are awaiting the refreshed AirPods Max. The same people that said they would never buy AirPods when they launched.

My first thought as well. Everything I know about UH and Optum (all of it negative) come from his videos, and it makes me appalled that any company like this is allowed to exist, when every study seems to indicate that patient in private-equity-owned care experience worse, more expensive care. It's the opposite of "capitalism creating efficiency".
I can't really make my mind up on react, although it is definitely Java/IBM now - react devs are on average less smart than [newer framework] a la Graham on python.

Despite that, I actually quite like writing react in some sense - I prefer state in React to Svelte, even though I like where svelte is trying to go more.

I do absolutely hate some aspects of JSX - the nested ternaries are brutal and quite horrible IMO, so:

My ideal framework for the data work I do is probably a compiled (useMemo for performance is just inexcusable, sorry) react for the UI knobs, with Svelte components inside it for laying out the data
I remember a lib that was like this but would use GANs etc to gen data. I tried it with little success, reverting to SMOTE. Wonder how this would do? My impression is that tabular data is difficult to use synthetically.
There is more overlap between the two than you'd think, specifically in producing and evaluating datasets for training and fine-tuning models. Most software engineers and ML engineers who worked on self-driving cars would do fine at working on GenAI; in fact, they're more qualified than the vast majority of engineers to work in a brand-new industry. Same goes for engineers working on compute hardware. Even engineers working on automotive controls and sensors could easily have a role working on increasingly multimodal models and applications, though I have no idea what projects Apple is actually prioritizing within that space.
Honestly that take by Grimes is hilariously and poetically dead on. I 100% agree there.
iirc they used a open-source emu on their snes/nes mini
The isomorphism of traces and logs is clear. You can flatten a trace to a log and you can perfectly reconstruct the trace graph from such a log. I don't see the unifying theme that brings metrics into this framework, though. Metrics feels fundamentally different, as a way to inspect the internal state of your program, not necessarily driven by exogenous events.

But I definitely agree with the theme of the article that leaving a big company can feel like you got your memory erased in a time machine mishap. Inside a FANG you might become normalized to logging hundreds of thousands of informational statements, per second, per core. You might have got used to every endpoint exposing thirty million metric time series. As soon as you walk out the door some guy will chew you out about "cardinality" if you have 100 metrics.

Though in true Lisp development fashion, they solved the easy and shiny 80% of the problem, leaving rest as an exercise to the reader :).

I need to review the current state, but back about half a year ago, when I evaluated them all, I had a lot of "fun" getting them to talk to Azure OpenAI (instead of OpenAI). Or even to allow to override the system prompt. Granted, those were early GPT-4-by-invite-only days, but still.

Still, the most important takeaways are that:

- Emacs community can and does react quickly to any new development;

- Sure, early on the packages may be somewhat half-baked, but it's not that hard to improve/fill in/fix them on your own, with config tweaks and maybe a pinch of simple Emacs Lisp code, even if you barely know anything about programming. That's in contrast to just about any other editor or program, where this is just not possible.
That's dumb, they really shouldn't defend themselves that way. Given how free form ChatGPT interaction is and plus they're basically looking for their own work.

The difference being Wordpress is going down and React still going up. It's still the best business decision today and for the foreseeable future. It won't last forever, but the paradigm shift in UX that JS frameworks created will.
> Yuzu can be blamed for TotK piracy

But they can be legally blamed for not taking any steps to prevent it.

Which means there are two avenues for Nintendo to attack this situation.

It's called contributory copyright infringement. The Supreme Court only ruled that the VCR was legal based on a very narrow use case: if a television broadcast aired once and only once, never to be seen again, and the user could not see it as scheduled, they were legally entitled to use a device to record the broadcast and watch it at a later time -- once, after which they would presumably have to destroy the recording. And there are legal experts who believe even that is a yard too far.

Nintendo's case is a lot more airtight. To play anything on yuzu, you have to defeat the encryption on Switch games, itself a felony DMCA violation (irrespective of how good or bad the encryption is). Therefore, yuzu can only be used to play pirated material, therefore it contributes to copyright infringement.

"But muh homebrew" -- people who want to develop for Switch can get a development license from Nintendo. The fact that this is an option would weaken developing for Switch as a legitimate use for yuzu.
Some of the supposed selling points on the pkgx the website are that they "build new releases almost immediately" and "add everything that people want without qualms", which seems to imply pretty lax quality control. Given that they apparently consider AI-generated garbage appropriate in package descriptions and issue comments, I would be even more wary. Is anyone checking that packages don't include malware?
This is very concerning!
Alright, how to I search for "Modal"?
The point of interview is not to be objective or something like, the point is to maximize chances for a good hire. Your chosen example is the one of several, and don't forget it is an hour of talking. No one decides on this answer alone.

From other hand if it is so hard to get some kind of behaviour from an interviewee then maybe it is really not their kind of behaviour? Not something they would do naturally without nudging?

Judging by my own experience, it is hard to me to hide my normal way of thinking, it needs some conscious effort, and if given an excuse to talk along my normal line of thought I would do it. And if I was nudged to do it and I didn't because I thought it is not the right time or place for it, then it would be a pathetic inability to read a situation I'm in.

Anyway it is all probabilistic judgements, you cannot get anything certain in a psychology. But if you got a bunch of probabilistic signals then you can decide probabilistically.

And you cannot get anything "objective" in psychology. Everything is subjective, even formalized tests. To this day people have no test that allows to decide if there is a human on the other side of a communication. The best we have is Turing Test which is laughable excuse for a test, not an objective measure. We cannot reliably measure a difference between human and non-human, how could we hope to measure reliably a difference between a good hire and a bad one?
1) Nginx Plus and HAProxy have nice consoles to view your thousand upstreams and their current health. The Nginx Plus GUI is Apache 2.0 (https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-plus-dashboard).

2) Nginx has this concept of rewrite "last" (instead of permanent or temporary)

3) Nginx Plus and HAProxy both have TCP routing OOTB without needing to recompile

4) Nginx and Nginx Plus have more ability to intercept a response from an upstream and modify it vs Caddy's fairly limited handle_response {}

5) Modify body content from upstream seems to require a Caddy module

6) Very difficult to find good Caddy configs and thus why LLMs have such a hard-time helping people with Caddy configs. Having a library of configs would probably help this training

There seems to be an incredible market opportunity for Caddy as I've lost a lost of trust in the Nginx ecosystem and commercial environment. I would get some of these modules into core Caddy so that they are easy to distribute to people used to just installing via apt. And then attack the Nginx Plus features one by one. Add a visual console even though I understand why it doesn't seem like a necessity. I'd love to see Caddy take share and would love to re-allocate my Nginx Plus spend over to Caddy support.
You forgot to mention whether you pirated the game or were playing it legally
Agreed. Most law suits throw everything at the wall and then see what sticks. The first thing the defense will always do is file a Motion to Dismiss listing a reason that each count of the suit fails to state a claim.

I recall something like that when they released those mini consoles like the mini NES (NES Classic). But looking into it now, it seems that only used OSS software (linux, busy box, alsa, etc.).

As a seller I have the opposite experience.

Plenty of morons just use the service and chargeback right before renewal so they got the service for free, some just chargeback instead of cancelling their plan or asking a refund.
I get hit with 15$ bill plus I lose all the money even if I provided the service.

Whatever email / data from my system I send is ignored and the scammer / moron gets his money back.

I'm sure that's how it works if the vendor is large enough.

If you are a small fish you don't stand a chance, which is why for my next project (where I'm supposed to charge a lot and spend a lot on behalf of the user - and I'll be royally screwed if I start getting chargebacks on 500$ of which I've already spent 450$) I'll just accept crypto payments.
What are some of the security issues? (Just curious. I don't use Homebrew.)

It's rent seeking behavior by an actor that pretty much is a negative value-add from a patient's perspective. They are a cancer.

I guess he anticipated it to an extent, but theory always pales in comparison to experiencing reality. And not just the reality of knowing it’s out there, but being asked to produce it…
On top of this, the totality of your experience also grows with time. To a four year old, many day-to-day experiences are fresh and new. By the time they’re thirty, there are far fewer such events on any given day.
That is almost certainly possible with github actions.

My partner deals with claims denials for care providers and if someone wrote a book on the stuff she's seen happen, I genuinely think it would be akin _The Jungle_ for modern audiences in terms of cultural impact.
I knew halfway through your comment that I was going to end up agreeing with where you were going. We're so close to having a decent Android tablet, with maybe a new Firefox for tablets, with USB-C DP out. 90% of the time I also would rather just be on a better device.

I'm sad there isn't more built around Android's AVF. I thought for sure, by now, we were going to have "Linux on Android" ala Crostini.
When the stuff was announced, I liked the concept of being able to just like send someone money, sort of like wiring but way easier.

What I didn't like is that only maybe 3 people out of 200 people really knew what was going on. 100 of those people were people screaming that it was good, "haters just gonna hate". 90 of those people are marketing people who use magic words[0] to say that the product is good. And the remaining 7 are clueless investors.

This isn't an unknown idea outside of Meta, it's just really expensive, especially if you're using a vendor and not building your own tooling. Prohibitively so, even with sampling.

I think it may have been due to having great entertainment options, of which the things I mentioned are indicative examples.

No, you linked a Japan-specific graph and then asked "What did they have that the rest of the world didn't?". Which is obviously a meaningless question without knowing what you're comparing to.

Nobody was saying that about music players and smart watches.
There might be a miscommunication.

The litigants and defendants would not be compelled to contribute equal amounts. Just the disbursement would be equal.
That's the "legal" way, dumping your own copy of horizon OS, your console's keys, your carts and their keys. Of course it's quicker and easier to just download someone else's keys and dumps, and you're not protecting yourself from Nintendo by using your own stuff, you just get the peace of mind knowing it's your stuff you're using.

It's also very quick if you're already set up with atmosphere & homebrew. Longest part was just waiting for my console's nand to dump.

Are you not from UK? You are not part of EU.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

Let’s suppose CEOs would all sign onto such a pledge, that all RIFs would clean out the whole C-suite, or CEO, whatever. Do you think it might also dramatically limit the upside, though, if a CEO knew they could only hire enough staff that they could only wait to shrink by attrition if a bet didn’t pan out.

I guess I see the role of a CEO as making bets. I’m not saying necessarily “risky bets” but if you have to guarantee never having a layoff, I think you’ll be very conservative. There are businesses that work sort of like that (It’s a little funny that we are discussing Sony, because if I understand correctly traditional Japanese business culture was a lot like that).

If someone wants pretty-much guaranteed steady work at the trade off of not a great deal of growth potential or possible equity, I’d recommend they don’t work in tech. Government work, utilities, etc. are far better suited for that kind of risk/reward preference.
The way lobbying is done in the US ensures that the rich and powerful will always have a greater say than everyone else. It's not unlike a bribery scheme in that sense.

Normal people don't have the time, money, or connections to effectively lobby. The best that you can do is kick a few bucks to some NGO that seems to be in line with your stance on whatever issue. But that's really just making the whole problem worse rather than working to having a government that is better at representing the people.
I’m very fond of both New York City, and spending time in nature for the same reason: you just don’t know what you’re gonna see when you walk out your door.

Am I going to hear a violin performance on the subway platform that is utterly sublime from a world class performer?

Am I gonna see the rarest bird in North America perched branch in front of me?

For me, the worst is the middle ground between crazy urban and pure nature where there is low probability of seeing anything exciting.
