> ageism isn't inevitable

It's not inevitable, but it is something outside of your control. Whether or not you experience agism isn't up to you, its up to recruiters, hiring managers etc. And when you do face it, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
We spent many hours designing and generating PDFs at our previous venture.. terrible experience. Which is why we're now focused on solving this issue!
I have a super expensive secret on my phone and... I bend the knee to Google.

Def can't trust Apple, can't trust Samsung. Google has managed to be the best. (Go ahead and @ me some cases that basically never hit the wild)
What doesn't pose that risk at this point?

We're insane semi-hairless apes playing with short-fuse technological M-80s. We light them and toss them in the air, and each time we make the fuses a few nanometers shorter. Eventually one's going to blow our hand clean off, but until then we'll judge the social benefit of the practice by just how close we came to blowing our hand clean off in a way that gamblers can wager on.
I actually picked up a refurb desktop from Walmart with a ryzen 3500 for $400, it runs basically everything without breaking a sweat. Proxmox running homeassistant, docker, my seedbox, media server, etc and it averages 3% CPU usage.

I did not know just how much heat a 16tb disk can put out up until that point though.

To answer your question, no it hasn't panned out. Reddit users aren't generally paid for their posts, nor was there any promise that they would be, even from Altman. Is the implication that some people got their hopes up from one investor's opinion on this?
To your point:

I believe the issue has more to do with identification of an individual, rather than locating said phone. In which case, no, a VPN wouldn’t help (plus, using a VPN doesn’t obscure your location from GPS, which our devices both use and transmit to the manufacturers [FMI, Google ‘find my phone’, third party ‘tracking’ apps that are known to sell precise location, etc.])
GrapheneOS provides extended support for end-of-life devices but we strongly discourage using our extended support releases. You can see we do that from https://grapheneos.org/releases and https://grapheneos.org/faq. We set an accurate Android security patch level field and do not downplay it with inaccurate claims about it. We do not do what other alternate operating systems by splitting out a Vendor security patch level field and claiming to provide all open source patches which is fundamentally not possible especially considering that a lot of the firmware is based on open source projects.
This sounds like a layer 8 problem

What? No. That is not at all true. Nearly all of my relatives - other than the one who had alzheimers - were as sharp as ever up until they died.
Making sure they can't have stable electricity, affordable transportation or otherwise decent infrastructure sure won't either.

There's some questions about interoperability, which I imagine to be hard since any canvas app involves viewing and editing and probably has unique entities and approaches which other apps wouldn't be able to handle.

BUT, I imagine this being more useful for creating non-frontend tools. For instance a server that returns subsets of nodes for a particular viewport. Or something that may index nodes, or produce search results. Or tools that simply generates canvases from other data as a one-way operation.
Right. Because AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe, Excite, Yahoo, MyNetscape, etc held more sway per capita than Google alone holds ? We moved from a world with many “portals” to a world with effectively one.

Even Reddit, stackoverflow, and other “portals” originate most traffic from Google. Facebook is probably one of the rare “internet” estates that isn’t navigated to via Google, but I’ll betcha the browsers they start opens Google first.

The whole “the internet is dying” is a continuous and trite refrain. It’s not dying but continuously changing. There’s always subcultures in various places. But the mass market internet has always been corporate curated crap for profit. That won’t change. And the whole AI is ruining the universe is malarkey. SEO garbage has taken over most search results and it’s of such incredibly low quality that AI generated SEO is actually a significant step up. At least LLM AIs are trained on stuff that has the content looked for whereas the SEO crap is written by people with know knowledge of the subject. While the AIs may hallucinate a bunch of weirdness into a page, that’s no different than some SEO content monkey typing in nonsense to capture clicks. Probabilistically the AI is more likely to write something cogent.

Is there a way to read this without a Google login ?
I’m sure the process exists. But I can understand how an employee could mess it up. If some fairly common work on an airplane involves opening a door, I imagine it’s okay to open and close the door without documenting it. (Just like (I imagine) turning on and off some lights or locking and unlocking a door, etc.) But now there’s a special kind of door (that’s really a plug but works a bit like a door and is literally called a “door plug”), and opening it involves removing four bolts but does not involve removing it completely from the fuselage. So, in a culture where there isn’t a checklist that gets followed for everything, they think “I opened the door (plug)” instead of “I partially removed the door (plug)”, and then they access the rivets (and document that!), and then they sloppily “close the door (plug)” and it is indeed “closed”. But they might not be thinking “I reinstalled the door (plug),” and they don’t check the checklist or fill out the form, and no one ever tracked those four bolts, and a near-catastrophe occurs.

So one might argue that calling this thing a door (plug) and “opening” it is a mistake. And one might argue that a design that “closes” a bit like a door but isn’t correctly installed when it looks closed is a poor design.
I use Kdenlive once a week for a quick top/tail edit. Always amazed at how well it runs on low-end hardware. Excited to see how the new version feels under Wayland.
Yeah, pets.com misplaces it pretty badly. For better and worse, Reddit is the usenet of the second/social/2.0 wave of the web, perhaps better at some points because of the wider reach of the web, and often worse for the same reason (as well as the picket fence of ownership).

Since a whiteboard is much more a visual thing, I imagine the spec should spend a lot of space defining the visual elements like specifying the control points of the Beizer curves because where a line is drawn and what it overlaps matters a lot on a whiteboard.

But to be a total downer, this spec looks like an extremely rudimentary graph file format, of which there are already like a hundred and all define more visual aspects than this spec.

Why wouldn’t running a heat pump in reverse to heat a room be ~same energy as running it in forward to cool a room?

I suspect you’re comparing an airconditioner against a resistive heating unit.
I've worked a few jobs now where application data was stored in text files of various kinds (homegrown as well as well-defined formats, JSON included) and it pretty quickly becomes a mess when you start talking about modifying it over time, evolving its schema, validating it in the face of end-user edits, ensuring threads don't write to it concurrently, etc.

This strikes me as exactly the type of application data that would benefit from being represented in SQLite. Of course, JSON is a `JSON.parse` away, but now you're building your own...everything else. Storage/retrieval, validation, querying/filtering/indexing, graph traversal, etc. It's all yours.

There's so many benefits to building this kind of thing in SQLite. You get data validation, atomic transactions in memory and on disk, a high-level query interface, lazy loading (i.e., only load nodes at most 2 edges away), triggers (when I delete this node, automatically delete edges that point to it), and a stable on-disk format, to say nothing of the fact that SQLite itself is just about the most stable software there is.

By the way, no disrespect to JSON Canvas, it looks like good work, just trying to offer the perspective of someone who has done stuff like this in the past.
It would be neat if the README or spec included links to some real-world examples of files - would be easier to start playing with building simple tools on top of this if there was already an example file to start experimenting with, without me having to learn Obsidian first.

UPDATE: Figured out how to create one:

1. Install and then open Obsidian

2. Click the "Create new canvas" icon - third down of the icons on the left

3. Add some stuff to the canvas - I double clicked to create a few boxes, put some text in them and then dragged lines between them

4. In the ... menu on the top right click "Reveal in Finder"

You can then open the file it reveals in a text editor to see the JSON Canvas format.

> no "new law" was being discussed, you yourself tried to limit the scope to the legal definition

It's a normative statement. And I'm not solely talking legal definitions. But when we're debating the proper boundaries of ownership, it is tautological to invoke ownership in the definition.

The original phrase is stronger as "you should be able to do [with your car] as you wish." Which is not a commonly-held view even if we restrict ourselves to vehicles solely driven on private property--to the point of absurdity, you can't mow down pedestrians just because it's your car and land.

Similar position here, except I'm a midlevel and have a disability. I have absolutely seen some bias where they expect there is something wrong with you for not moving up. I also agree that most places want narrow specialty expertise in at least one area - something I also lack. I'm completely fucked at this point. I just need to hold onto my current job until I die or retire. But I absolutely hate it and I get bad reviews.
I've had a serious head injury, though not from cycling. Hurting your limbs is painful and may cause you to lose mobility. Brain damage affects your very ego and ability to experience the world - permanently. I have a headache and fatigue as I write this comment, my eyes aren't quite focused on the text like they used to be, and I am considerably less intelligent than I was. This will probably last for the rest of my life - for most of my existence.

It's difficult to put into words just how soul-crushing it is to have your inner monologue disrupted, slowed, and impaired. To sit in a class and listen, just as you used to, yet not comprehend or learn. To sit in front of your IDE expecting to accomplish a once-trivial task, yet feel nothing but overwhelming nausea and your working memory being overloaded.

It hammers home that consciousness is not special and that we're nothing more than biological machines.

Protect that consciousness. It is precious and it is vulnerable. Wear a helmet.
I don't think they expected to die from it, though. More so that they knew they would die of old age before they could develop cancer from it.

The bit about holding an alligator's mouth closed is correct and I remember Step Two from an alligator wrestling demonstration: flip it over. They lose consciousness if you can hold them in an inverted position.
IMHO GP should not have to specify this, and we should take their word at face value.
> Although I'm not sure it can necessarily tell you anything about to what extent it affects performance

Exactly.
Since performance was a consideration for you, how does it compare to TBB or even say OpenMP? I've used those as well as the task system that comes with ISPC for HPC stuff, but I like the lightweight C11 approach here.
Your original comment was speaking in general terms, about all Sharepoint services. Not your specific deployment. Details matter or your argument falls down.

As for concurrency, read my comment again, I use the specific word.
If you have something like Xposed available, then this is possible.

Looking at what GravityBox was able to do, nothing in that can be done in a stock ROM without getting root.
I think that's the most succinct explanation of the problem that I've ever seen.
The Omada line makes pretty decent AP’s too. A step above ubiquiti in terms of reliability but also dead simple. I’d have gone ruckus if I could have but the mailman stole my $200 eBay R550 score and I didn’t feel like shelling out $500 for one.

GrapheneOS provides extended support for end-of-life devices but we strongly discourage using our extended support releases.

We do not do what other alternate operating systems by splitting out a Vendor security patch level field and claiming to provide all open source patches which is fundamentally not possible especially considering that a lot of the firmware is based on open source projects.

Our hardware security requirements are listed at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices. Pixels are the only devices providing the requirements we set for updates and the list of security features. They also provide proper alternate OS support where all those security features work correctly. Samsung has most of the expected features and provides a similar length of support and number of major yearly updates but is missing the proper alternate OS support, MTE and the monthly/quarterly updates.

Each month, there's a new Android release which are distinct from the partial backporting of privacy/security patches to older versions. It's not monthly security releases but rather monthly performance/security/feature releases with separate backports of all Critical/High severity patches to older versions. Android 14 and Android 14 QPR1 are older versions of Android, and there are security backports to Android 14 separate from the monthly releases. This is currently fairly exclusive to Pixels. Samsung is getting much better at doing the security backports and are reducing delays for major updates but they're still acting as if the monthly/quarterly releases don't exist.
What’s the basis for this claim?

Maintaining a fixed temperature difference across a wall with a fixed thermal conductivity takes the same amount of energy no matter which side of the wall you want to keep the heat.

On the other hand, any inefficiencies in your heat transfer capability, any incoming solar radiation, and any other activity going on inside a space (like lighting, cooking or refrigeration, or just people metabolizing their breakfast) tend to add heat to it.

So maintaining a cooler temperature on the side where you’re trying to do stuff seems likely to be more inefficient than heating it.

Sounds like Bitcoin to me. Bitcoin took so long to get invented because if you went to a computer science conference and said you'd give a talk about how you built a node network 20,000 computers in it that does as much work as 1 computer did people would just laugh at you.

Now if you had a system with 20,000 computers where there are 20 copies of your content in the system that might be interesting, but peer-to-peer networks can easily be a way to make Amazon Web Services look cheap the same way that Bitcoin makes Visa and Mastercard look fast and inexpensive.
Without knowing more about you it seems like you are having issues communicating your experience and how valuable that is.

We just closed two positions on my team with that exact requirement (BE + Infra) and it was not super easy as most people with that experience are looking for "higher" positions than individual contributors. A lot of places need good IC's who can execute so I doubt the issue is that you have too much experience.

I would try to re-frame your experience as being one who can guide, mentor and help elevate the whole team you are part of.
Wait what, "HD"? Sales pitch where? I don't think I ever watched traditional ads for monitors, it was always catalogs (with dry specs) and computer magazines / friends (which always mentioned latency). And if there were any resolution-related acronyms, it would be SVGA, XGA and other weird things no one took seriously.

Here is a period shopping catalog: https://archive.org/details/computer_shopper_2000-07/page/n5... (page 5). Note you had a choice PerfectFlat E2 CRT panel (1280x1024, 17" viewable) and ViewPanel LCD (with same spec). At that time (2000's), LCDs were 2x-3x times more expensive than CRTs, so most people would still go with CRTs.

HD is a relatively new term which I think appeared when LCD came for consumer TVs? By that time, LCD monitors has long ago became prevalent with the PCs.
> After a couple decades of coding, I can say that threading is better if it's tightly controlled, limited to usages of tight parallelism of an algorithm.

This may be a case of violent agreement, but there are a few clear cases where multithreading is easily viable. The best case is some sort of parallel-for construct, even if you include parallel reductions, although there may need to be some smarts around how to do the reduction (e.g., different methods for reduce-within-thread versus reduce-across-thread). You can extend this to heterogeneous parallel computations, a general, structured fork-join form of concurrency. But in both cases, you essentially have to forbid inter-thread communication between the fork and the join parameters. There's another case you might be able to make work, where you have a thread act as an internal server that runs all requests to completion before attempting to take on more work.

What the paper you link to is pointing out, in short, is that message passing doesn't necessarily free you from the burden of shared-mutable-state-is-bad concurrency. The underlying problem is largely that communication between different threads (or even tasks within a thread) can only safely occur at a limited number of safe slots, and any communication outside of that is risky, be it an atomic RMW access, a mutex lock, or waiting on a message in a channel.
The idea of Italy as a very specific place is much older than Italy as an independent, unified nation state though. A famous example from Dante’s Inferno: «Sì com’a Pola presso del Carnaro, ch’Italia chiude e i suoi termini bagna» (Inferno, Canto IX, 113-114).

One difference is that baking mathematical models into electronic analogs is older than integrated circuits. The reason we deviated from that model is because the re-programmability and cost of general purpose, digital computers was way more economical than bespoke hardware for expensive and temperamental single purpose analog computers. The unit economics basically killed analog computing. What Extropic (and others) have identified is that in the case of machine learning, the pendulum might have to swing back because we do have a large scale need for bespoke hardware. We'll see if they're right.

Quantum computing has been exploring an entirely new model of computation for which it's hard to even articulate the problems it can solve. Whereas using analog computers in place of digital is already well defined.
Active Inference is kinda "a joint learning of the state representation with the search algorithm"...or at least, related to the idea. I like framing it as a joint learning problem.
Lots of people think 13 is an unlucky number, so don't pick it on lotteries. But enough people know this fact to outnumber the superstitious, so it's actually one of the most chosen numbers. (Source: vague memory, as web searches give me "most drawn numbers" rather than "most popular numbers").

It's widely known that robots have bad vision and hand eye coordination, thus a common recommendation is to learn trade skills such as plumbing. I suspect that means there will be an over-supply of plumbers.

Julia's JIT compiles code when its first executed, so Julia has a noticable delay from you start the program and until it starts running. This is anywhere from a few hundred milliseconds for small scripts, to tens of seconds or even minutes for large packages.

This gave me lots of confidence in Unsloth when I first read it.

I'll admit I was a little skeptical of Unsloth, since anything that boasts free perf improvement, just by dropping in some middleware, makes me suspicious. Especially from such a small team.

I assumed it was just introducing some hacks that create an inexact implementation of attention or some faster-but-inaccurate cuda kernels or something.

But now I believe this small team really knows their stuff :)
