I don’t think you need to lean into some “culture war” to think it’s deeply weird that Google engineered their AI product to change what you type into the prompt so it changes the races of people depicted in the results. That displays an unhealthy fixation with race.

I ran this by my 70-year old immigrant parents—who are Democrats and by no means culture-war people—and they found this very cringeworthy (not that they even know what “cringe” is—that’s the closest translation of their reaction in English).
Aceternity UI: A free, open-source UI library with advanced animations
You quite delusional about a number of things. It's not even worth pointing them out.
How can you? Genuinely asking. You can overload operator + or operator *, but how could you make a dedicated ternary (three-way) operator that combines those two operations into something like std::fma? I guess you could overload the function call operator, but that doesn't offer much over just defining a function.
>So you set up an email account specifically for those,

Sorry I wasn't clear. I wasn't looking for a "solution". I was trying to explain how one can be blind to future failure scenarios (e.g. 2FA behavior is just one example) and thus, the "admin procedures documentation" can be inadvertently flawed. It's because the owner never had a 2FA verification email for years and so completely forgets that their friend will get an unexpected 2FA random code request in the event of a disaster recovery. I edited my comment to hopefully make that more clear.

>The interconnected dependencies are complicated and invisible because the recovery procedures are not stress-tested.*
odd that you keep using that word prompts.
Why does everyone have to it?
Here's something very specific I've been thinking about recently.

I think Google Cloud Cloud Run is obscenely ahead of its time. Its a product that's adjacent to so many competitors, yet has no direct competitor, and has managed to drive a stake into that niche in a way that makes it such a valuable product.

Its serverless, but not "Lambda Serverless" or "Vercel Serverless" which forces you to adopt an entirely different programming model. Its just docker containers. But its also not serverless in the way Fargate or ACS is "serverless"; its still Scale to Zero.

There's a lot of competition in the managed infrastructure space right now (Railway, Render, Fly, Vercel, etc). But I haven't seen anyone trying to do what Cloud Run does. Cloud Run has its disadvantages (cold starts are bad; it also could be a great fit for background workers/queue consumers/etc, but Google hasn't added any way to scale replicas beyond incoming HTTP requests yet).

But the model is so perfect that I wish more companies would explore that space more, rather than retreating to "how things have always been done" ("pay us $X/mo to run a process") or retreating to the much more boring "custom serverless runtime", "your app is now only a 'AWS Lambda app' and cant run anywhere else congrats".
My first class in Calculus based physics, my professor did an interesting thing. We would be asked to intuit the answer to problems before we did the math to know for certain. Physics is simply not intuitive.

Now, with regards to the simulation, the thing I think they failed on wasn't a lack of common sense. I think what they should have done is reproduce the results in real life using a similar jet. They relied on the model a bit too much and "Tested in production."

However, as far as mistakes go, this is a pretty small one.
Yeah, it's bizarre how it's essentially been doing what all these newish(past 4 years or so) state management libraries and frameworks are rediscovering the entire time and yet.. It gets snubbed. Not even mentioned as a state management library by Tanstack Query. Always left out of the conversation. And yet, AFAICT, it's actually pretty quietly, and heavily used in the "app" space by a bunch of very large companies.
Get a shared web host that provides email. Usually you can create unlimited email accounts.

Dreamhost is $13/mo (although they have a temporary discount right now). That's more than $5/mo, but you get a lot more than email.

They also have email only hosting: $1.67/mo/mailbox if you prepay for a year.

I can see why you think the hosting companies are gouging you with their prices per user, but look at it from your family's perspective. Their email is probably worth a lot more than $2/mo to them, and if you suddenly die and they lose access, it would be because you didn't want to pay $2/mo to avoid that pain.

Heh, I recently saw a video which started by an over the top promotional sketch, and then in the middle of the video they openly made fun of it (again) by deliberately slowing down the pace of the video while using a 150 years older competitor...
But Google has Waymo. Either way, Apple will be far behind.
> My “negotiation” rebuttal (after their offer) would be something like “here are the teams I am willing to work with, and here are my minimum total comp requirements”, and most importantly, I would have a compelling BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement).

This is generally how most people approach the negotiation, no?
ZFS v2.2.3: Some copied files are still corrupted (chunks replaced by zeros)
I think that Twitter is an anomaly that shows the strength of the architecture they built. Certainly you don't need those people around to keep the lights on, but if you want to attract new users with new features, someone needs to design those to work at scale, and then implement them. As far as I can tell, X has basically added subscriptions since the acquisition. In the meantime, they've lost many users and advertisers. (I only see ads for drop-shipped crap, which probably isn't too profitable compared to someone like Disney.) It is very unclear whether this is sustainable for X; as tech debt accumulates and real debt becomes due, the situation could be pretty dire. With equity you are strongly encouraged to grow. With debt you have to grow faster than the interest payments or you're literally dead. It is unclear to me whether or not X is growing; a lot of people are at the very least supplementing X with Bluesky and Mastodon. (They say they've moved away, but I kind of doubt it.)

Musk would probably be the last person on Earth to admit that X isn't doing so well, so I wouldn't really trust him. The most insightful thing he's said is "Fuck you, Bob Iger" which doesn't sound particularly indicative of advertising success. Meanwhile, he's advertised X payments, X email, etc. and these have not materialized (much like "FSD is a year away" in ... 2017).
> The most likely action is that Cloudflare is going to migrate:

Or they could tell Italy to jump in a lake (maybe a sea?). If you want to make dumb decisions with your country's internet I don't see why other people should bend over backwards to support your stupidity. If I were CF I'd consider monitoring for any of my IPs being blocked and then migrate all Italian government/etc sites using CF to that IP.
not sure what you mean by your comment. What I meant was to address the extreme negativity of the person to whom I am replying to that he doesn't have to participate in this flight that is being sold as a ticket.

I would love to see the itemisation and deduction for this. In particular, how did you decide how much value was due to the publisher, movie studios, etc. vs. her?

We can safely assume that she would have produced absolutely no value, had there been no publisher.

Maybe the publisher produced $1B of value and JK Rowling produced none? They did after all select her over other authors.
P5.js: Online Canvas Programming
I wonder if this is connected to the Vision Pro release. That’s another giant hardware fishing project that failed to meet the “vision” of an all-day wearable iPhone. Perhaps it became obvious that the car was in even murkier waters.

And to dump some of the employees on image and text generators off whatever self driving computer vision work they were presumably doing before? Interesting choice.
The only way to fight back is to cease being a customer. You don't need price information for that.

How are you going to "fight back" with price data? If you shift your habits to buy when the price is low – that's what they want you to do! A restaurant is far more efficient (read: profitable) when there is a steady stream of customers all day long, rather than having nobody in the place at 3PM and then a flood of people at 6PM. If a lower price can compel you to eat at 3PM instead of 6PM, that's a win for them.
Correct: the government should not be micromanaging generically bad business practices unless it amounts to actual abuse of consumers/workers/the envinronment/etc. Just doing really dumb bad shit that'll result in a failing business isn't that.

If Apple wants to stupidly censor people at the keyboard level and thus incite everyone to switch to Windows or Linux (or Android), well that's dumb, but doing dumb things shouldn't be generally illegal.
What about something like Nitter? Archiving? Adversarial bridging between different platforms? Automation?

How will well-behaved scrapers undermine the sustainability of a business? I guess adblocking is one, but we can already do that with uBlock and that's legal. Or adversarial bridging, but that only serves to boost competition.

In other words, the question is flipped; why would well-behaved (i.e. non-DDoSing) scrapers be illegal?
i agree with your general sentiment but for Apple I do believe it makes sense to focus on AGI as they could incorporate it within their OSes and products to make them more productive for the users.

The demand for expensive EVs is not unlimited, despite the ardent desires of California and federal politicians.
I think another reason why Emacs is in a second golden age is due to all of the new plugins that have come out in the past 3-5 years and how those plugins have affected Emacs.

For example, Eglot and use-package being part of Emacs core.

Additionally, there's also just many new plugins for the base-level things. I never thought there would be alternatives to completion frameworks like Helm or Ivy, until new ones came out. It's all been very exciting.

I like David Sacks perspective on §230. Yes, there is a huge bias in Silicon Valley against conservatives. But if we get rid of 230 it will get even worse. The moderators are all liberal. Personally I think the bias is generational, and will work it self out with time.
Even if two different aircraft have the same space constraints for the hook (which is a pretty big if), they have different mass and deceleration characteristics (i.e. minimum and maximum approach velocity) during landing- changing the force exerted on the hook. Designing a lighter hook for the lower loaded aircraft is VERY desirable for high tech fighter jets- every ounce saved is better range, better agility, etc.

As far as the little lip at the very tip of the hook- it looks to me like the initial design was trying to minimize any risk of digging into the flight deck and causing damage- this is just a guess though.
Mini-factories in space could become a thing, supposedly a lot of industrial processes are only difficult because of friction and gravity.
Exactly! All this talk about man vs system misses the point that man is the system designer, operator, and component.

This is why Boeing cant just solve their situation with more process checks. From the reporting, they are already drowning in redundant quality systems and complexity. What failed was the human elements.

Someone was gaming the system saying that the doors weren't "technically" removed because there was a shoelace (or whatever) holding them in place, Quality assurance was asleep at the wheel, and management was rewarding those behaviors.

Plenty of blame to go around.
Why not sync it via git? It’s way better, imo.
I would rather they focus obscene amounts of effort to making the keyboard text “correction” not utter trash. Ridiculous how frequently it will completely change the intention of my writing.
Services like these are why massive blocks of IP addresses end up firewalled off, and why Cloudflare/Google CAPTCHAs are absolutely everywhere.

Normally, you can just block non-consumer ISPs, but this site offers "residential proxy" services (basically a botnet-as-a-service), which means that now consumer IP ranges need to be selectively blocked as well.

I think PAT/Privacy Pass will solve this problem as far as normal users are concerned ("normal" meaning "running Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android, on devices with hardware attestation capabilities"), but soon enough we'll arrive in an age where you can only visit so many web pages before you've exceeded your daily internet allowance.
Weird thing to say about the company that will be the definitive LLM once Pro 1.5 is available with its million tokens. I can’t even imagine what ultra 1.5 will bring.
Genuine question, how did these companies, Shein and Temu rise so fast? They need sophisticated software, infrastructure, and then logistics to pull these off, and they seem to have done it within 1-2 years. Does anyone know or can point to articles on how these companies pulled these off?
Reminds me of my office after private equity outsourced most of the US workforce. It wasn't just that there was no one at the desks, it was that they removed all the personalization and even the department names and decorations which turned our once-vibrant, if irreverent old office into a generic, anonymous place.
One of the first thing an old hand told me in my first days on the job, in aerospace, was: If you have a part, but have no paper work you can match against the part that tells you what it is, you can throw the part away. So, never loose documentation.

I took that to heart. Took a case of a switcheroo, mixing items that looked similar but aren't, to really drive the point home.
I really hope Apple continues its privacy-first ethos and offers an on-device LLM. It would also be great if they could use Handoff-like technology to let my (almost always nearby, almost always plugged-in) laptop do the thinking, instead of depleting the battery of my phone. I'd surely buy a bunch of HomePod minis if I could tie them into a local LLM.
That's not a very high bar.

The style in the same as all pre-Internet paper maps I've seen, but with much higher fidelity. So it looks nice to me, but it's not the most readable, mostly the names do not stand out in the dark green background.
> Apple seems so far behind in generative AI

Apple is a best-in-class second mover.

With the clusterfuck that has been generative AI (from OpenAI’s corporate drama to Google renaming and reörganizing their products every fifteen minutes) this seems prescient, with the only savvy player so far being Microsoft.
It was always a distraction for them. Apple couldn't add anything real to cars that other manufacturers did not have.
But what's it for? I can tell what an electric car is for, can you tell me what "generative AI" is for? A car can transport goods and people, really good non-deterministic typeahead is just.. well, I don't know what I'd use it for, do you?

EDIT: what I really mean is what makes people think this is a commercially viable thing to spend time and money on? Like, say one of these companies hits some magic jackpot and discovers "AGI".. then what? Is that worth money, somehow?
How about a button that says "put down my website if it suddenly starts getting charged"?.
And even more abundance is coming with the advent of generative AI.

The problem now isn't scarcity of content. It's signal vs noise.

As a consumer of content what we want is content specifically relevant and valuable to us, but there is too much noise most of the time. As a producer of content we want to is to be able to capture some of that value. For example if there was a source of content that have me an advantage in some domain area I work on, I would absolutely pay for it. (And in fact I do, like chatgpt plus).

For entertainment content there's probably enough free stuff that most people don't care to pay.
Trains use less fuel and “almost all” is leaving out that Amtrak’s most popular service area is the electrified northeast corridor. Electric trains are also a century old and it’s a straightforward engineering task to confer them.

The reason passenger travel isn’t more popular has more to do with the trillions spent subsidizing private vehicle usage. People respond to economic incentives and for the last century the message has been that taxpayers will help you drive.
> I think if people knew then what they know now about how these platforms would behave starting around 2015 they would have had a much more difficult time achieving their dominant positions, there would have been far more skepticism.

Maybe. The polarization of the country has increased significantly since the covid era.

Plus most of this censorship discourse really only occurs at the edges. 99% of my meatspace social network cares about seeing puppy vidoes or whatever Taylor Swift has to say. Exactly zero of them have any expectation that their posts will ever be censored because they don't post anything oppositional.

I think that, even with censorship, void a real alternative competitor, the networks would have grown all the same. The only difference is maybe TruthSocial or Rumble would have spun off a few years earlier.

I've used scala and erlang professionally; I have nothing against learning new languages.

My comment was not really meant as seriously as the commenters here are taking it (I really didn't mean to infer anything about users of those..) -- but I also sort of stand by it -- I spent lots of time in stupid meetings about language features when I used those languages that I would have rather avoided.

It's of course not the languages fault, and more likely a smell of an org problem at wherever it was I was working back then (201x's).

It's completely true that I don't know rust; I tried, and $dayjob does use it for some components but it seems to be really overloaded with syntax and symbols to me -- then again I'm a dinosaur who started on C and maybe I'm just getting old....

If you don't have it, you'll pay your competitors to have it.

Generative AI is significant enough to Apple's use cases that there would seem to be a very strong business case to bring it in house.
All offers get weighed against WLB, perceived bureaucracy, perceived reputation of the company, perceived alignment with role and level, perceived value that the company derives from the position, and the expected competition for the role. The combination of all of these could lead someone to reject or negotiate the highest dollar value offer.

They're taking the only rational position available.

* Absolutely censoring nothing is an insane position to take. Even just spammers would flood such a site, let alone super extreme people like outright Nazis or KKK members. The typical person would have no interest in sharing a website with people like that, and they would flee. Very few people want to be posting on 4chan (and IIRC even 4chan has some moderation these days, underscoring the point).

* On the other hand, you can't realistically expect a company to take full responsibility for every piece of user generated content immediately. There's no way to do this well at scale, other than to use algorithms to get rid of what seems like the worst stuff, and deal with the grey areas when users submit reports of bad behavior. It's not feasible for a site that lets users upload random things, resulting in millions of pieces of new content daily, to manually approve every single one.
