Engineers do things the rest of the company don't understand and everyone depends on.

Removing dependencies and lack of clarity are two principles you would apply to your own code base. The Human stack, like you called it, is doing the same with the company and staff : remove dependencies and increase clarity.

I am not saying this is the correct approach, but this is the approach.

At the same time, we can understand that real product building and architecture require more than codegen, with or without AI.

Generally, I look at the AI recent progresses similarly to what spreadsheets did to accounting a long time ago. It removed a lot of the dummy work and make everything more efficient. But we still need accountant and they are not wasting their day doing basic math. Of course the one who knew only how to make fast math but not accounting or business logic didn't make the cut on the long run, but I don't think anyone would want to come back to accounting like it was 60 years ago.

Tangentially, and coincidentally (from the last page of the PDF) - Von Neuman in 1956 wrote

Since then, the complexity and the

as an example of this, the phase of com-

that since 1945 the over-all capacity of

> A malicious or compromised Log conducts a split-view attack by showing different views of the Log to different parties. This is done by providing different parties with different inclusion proofs and consistency proofs. Thus the Log remains consistent from the respective network vantage points of the target(s). They all see an append-only log.

You are spot on the vantage points. It is therefore at utmost necessity that the server does not know who has made a request, is not able to track clients. This is why requests need to be routed through anonymization service like TOR to preserve a single consitent view. The client only gives away the current root commit index they have stored locally which gives a little wiggle room there to be malicious. The latter can also be improved by first asking for the current tree root commitment and then aksing consitency proof with respect to locally stored commitment.

The global consistency in this design is achieved by the server not knowing who makes requests and thus gosiping is not needed.

> I don't see how this ruling is going to affect home buyers, or sellers in the near future.

That seems obvious...?

Either the prices will drop, which benefits buyers (and, to some extent, increases the liquidity in the entire market), or they will not, which means the sellers get to keep more of the value of the home they sold (even if it's with the assistance of a seller's agent, it's still their home).

> I'm also troubled by what the Wall Street Journal claims is that this might push a lot of young realtors out of the career field.

The WSJ has a very strong incentive to side with the entrenched wealthy interests here, and paint this as a bad thing.

Frankly, any realtor this pushes out of the field was likely only in it in the first place because they thought it would be easy money.

> Overall, I'm still unclear exactly how this is going to help anyone.

That also seems obvious: home buyers and sellers will get the same agents as before (because it's not like the entire industry is going to dry up and blow away overnight, or be entirely replaced with worse agents), and have to pay less for the privilege of having access to the MLS (plus the other small services an agent offers).

> I think regardless there will still be plenty of realtors doing business, and they will still make bank.

This seems to completely contradict your previous statement about people who want an agent.

This is a bit more useful than things like vscode or flake8 (my preferred option) telling you that you "import xxx" but don't use it.

I'd love a deeper way to identify and selectively reduce the cruft from projects though. For example currently I have about 180 dependencies in my project's .venv - most of them transitive.

These include things like the google-auth library when there is no code in my project that would ever need to talk to Google.

Mostly this is just wasteful and not a big issue, but then come the conflicting dependencies you need to resolve by pinning version numbers. This is doubly annoying if you have no idea what the dependency is needed for or even if it's needed at all.

This is not just a python issue, it's apparent in all languages I've worked in.
I feel like no matter how productive AI becomes, it will always be more productive when paired with humans. Since all companies will have AI, and since they will continue to play the same game as before--sell a good or service that provides a better value than the competition--that means that humans will still be the differentiator.
Plus, if you got rid of or reduced copyright, publishers would just find other ways to engage in cartel-like behavior and continue to screw everyone.

Solid point. But Twilio is an example where race to the bottom doesn't apply.

I know plenty of people who use Twilio and hate the platform however they don't leave. Alternatives like Vonage and Telynx have similar offers with better pricing however people don't leave Twilio. If anything people apply pressure to Twilio to give similar pricing and that's about it.

The Voice AI products feel more like Lyft vs Uber, which platform will I use today to get a ride and they are easily "swappable".

Exactly!

They missed that a Roth IRA needs to be a self-directed IRA to invest as Thiel does, most people don't know this and invest in ETFs or mutual funds giving meager returns. And, you need to have a high net worth to invest in private stock, especially in the formation, pre-IPO, stages of a company, and a high net worth reputation to have venture capital credibility.

Also, the main reason that Roth IRAs passed in Congress is that greedy politicians, on both sides of the aisle, want that tax money upfront instead of waiting decades to collect.

There should never be an argument that the government is some steward of our money and that the insane amount of money they collect from us is somehow wisely spent as our fiduciary.

This is the classic fallacy of assuming that because you see comments of type A and comments of type B on the same forum that means they're the same people. They're usually not.

I'd say that Apple are directly harmed, by the court order to pay £385 million.

Equally, this seems like the opposite of friendly, and the money involved here is tiny compared to Apple's dividend payments.

Evidently my original comment wasn’t clear enough.

First of all plenty of companies do invest money into equities, bonds, real estate, etc. That’s completely standard and in no way absurd.

I have no problems with companies taking profit, I have a company and I take profit. I would just find it incredibly embarrassing to attempt to convince my customers that me taking profit is for their benefit, and somehow the optimal way for me to increase my reliability as supplier, against the alternative of investing in product improvement.

It’s not that they’re taking profit, it’s that they’re advertising it as if it’s some kind of noble deed they’re performing on behalf of their customers. It absolutely does not remove risk from the company, that’s complete nonsense. The whole post is just strange.

Dark is ambiguous: it can mean light is not emitted, but it can also mean light is absorbed.

Even going with the first one, it's an incomplete description at best. "Dark" matter does not simply fail to emit light; it does not interact with light at all (other than by gravity, and that only bends it slightly, no absorption or emission involved).

Transparent fully captures this.

The overloaded meanings of those words which you are invoking are not relevant to the description of a physical property.

Well, how would that work?

Errors are just values. They don't have any special meaning nor is there any special ceremony to create them. A panic must start from calling panic(); there's no function or special statement to create or return an error.

It might be possible to augment every `error`-typed return such that the concrete type is replaced by some synthetic type with a stack trace included. However, this would only work because `error` is an interface, so any function returning a concrete-typed error wouldn't be eligible for this; it would also add a lot of runtime overhead (including, at the very least, a check for nil on every return); and it would cause issues with code that still does == comparisons on errors.

On the whole, I think error-wrapping solves the problem of tracing an error well enough as the language exists today. If errors are going to start having some magic added to them, I think the entirety of error-handling deserves a rethink (which may be due, to be fair).
This isn't different from the media industry's overall evolution.

Publishers aren't different from Audio media. Authors have mkt reach through digital channels, unlike constraints of bookshelf logistics.

Why aren't they directly publishing their material? Margins are higher, without publisher fees.
The idea is that the raw photo files are cryptographically signed. Of course they're going to be edited, retouched, etc. But if a media outlet is challenged on the veracity of the photo - as in, claiming it's totally fabricated, not just touched up - then the signed raw file adds credibility.
I like that approach. Following on, there are people who disregard boundaries, with whom it is important to end or curtail relationships. One is not, however, rejecting them because of their beliefs, rather redefining the relationship because of their actions. It is possible to do that whilst maintaining respect for their humanity.

Thank you. That's an insightful idea.

I think linux became much better in recent years not at least due to things moving into web. Ofc there is a ton of specialized windows only software still, but it became much less relevant for ordinary people.

Just remember all the people struggling with open office (not relevant because of google docs and alike) and video/audio codecs (Spotify, Netflix etc). In general the amount of desktop apps needed to be productive has reduced.

The desktop is just good enough even though App Store apps are quite terrible in both Ubuntu and fedora in my experience.

It's not necessarily the case that Chinese speakers hear the English word "Richard" as three syllables. They might or might not; either way, it isn't possible for them to produce it as two. (Or as three, as you illustrate, but there's a limit to how far you can go in the attempt to produce a foreign name accurately. A country can be named 圣文森特和格林纳丁斯, but that's just not going to work for a person whose name you need to pronounce more than once.)

Hearing problems and production problems are both common, and they overlap heavily, but they don't overlap perfectly.

Speaking of how people perceive foreign words, I'm still interested in the following:

1. Mandarin and Cantonese both use the sounds /s/ (just like English S) and /f/ (ditto, just like English F, though there are Chinese speakers who, like the Japanese, don't distinguish F and H).

2. Neither Mandarin nor Cantonese uses the sound /θ/ (beginning of the English words thorn, thunder, thwack, etc.).

3. Mandarin speakers perceive an English [θ] as being the sound /s/. It's not just that they hear it as something strange but get /s/ when they try to produce it - they cannot hear the difference between [θ] and [s]. I have a friend who learned to produce [θ] accurately, which didn't help much because her English experience is mainly auditory and she ends up using [θ] in words that use /s/.

4. Cantonese speakers are different; for them, an English [θ] is the sound /f/. This means that if a Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker both listen to an English speaker pronounce "thin", neither will necessarily perceive anything particularly strange about the word, but they will disagree with each other's attempts to mimic it.

5. By now, there must be many people who are native speakers of both Cantonese and Mandarin.

6. What do they think when they hear [θ]? My best guess is that they can tell it's a strange sound, but I don't really know.

> Richard in Chinese is commonly transliterated as Lichade (lee-char-duh), even though it's only two syllables in English, and Charles is Cha'ersi (char-err-suur).

I should note that the Mandarin syllable cha is not at all rhotic; the transcription "char" only makes sense if your variety of English doesn't have rhotic vowels.

Yes it’s going to depend on which k8s distribution you’re using. We have work in-progress for k3s to natively support nix-snapshotter: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/pull/9319

For other distributions, nix-snapshotter works with official containerd releases so it’s just a matter of toml configuration and a systemd unit for nix-snapshotter.

We run Kubernetes outside of NixOS, but yes the NixOS modules provided by the nix-snapshotter certainly make it simple.
