I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that Junior devs are cheaper than senior ones. I could envision many junior devs coding (with the help of AI) and a few senior devs doing mostly code reviews.

I don't use AI, but I know an IT manager that uses it with code snippets and prompts like: "explain what this code does". He says it works great.

That seems to play into the kind of tools that would help junior devs become senior devs. But again, I really don't know. AI may fade away like pet rocks...
I tried that, tensorflow is actually better for general purpose compute, jax a lot better. Pytorch seems to omit most of the non-ml basic building blocks, while tf kind of gives you most of the XLA api.
Diagnosed with ADHD here, there's nothing ADHD friendly about this imo. I'm REALLY into reverse engineering content and I just bounced right off the GIANT WALL of text at the beginning.

It's presented in a highly linear conversational fashion but the data doesn't appear to need to be linear. I absorb things in a non-linear fashion (I jump around, sometimes I even read/skim things backwards and out of order.) So it could easily be made ADHD friendly with clear delineation between ideas. A really simple way to do this would be surrounding definition blocks with a slightly lighter background color box and sticking strictly to necessary data, not using conversational language.

Also the color scheme sucks (or rather is non-functional at least to me.). The blue text words really stick out, but the white bold text is what's important. However it also matches with the headers since they seem to be the same font and color, it's really distracting for some reason. Under assembly instructions specifically: like all I see is "value, register, destination, source, destination, expression, destination, destination, destination,..." literally the least important information is highlighted.

The sidebar on the left is distracting too and pulls my eye constantly.

Equating Beginner with ADHD is also mildly offensive and defeats the point if this is targeted at people suffering from ADHD. People with ADHD dive head first in the deep end or not at all, no exceptions. If it's labelled beginner/for-dummies, I'm skipping it or at best skimming it (like i did with this).

This is neat. Clearly a lot of work has gone into and I appreciate that. It's nice and smooth for me on FireFox (for mac). The music is a nice touch too.

For those puzzles with the "reverse" tiles that bounce the ball back, I had to turn off my expectations of where the ball is going to go next. In puzzle 5 you send the ball straight out to a reverse tile and my expectation would be for it to just bounce straight back to the entrance tile, but no... it turns left after that. Just a minor complaint. This is just a fun set of puzzles to announce Google IO, not a game I actually spent money on. Also, they control the world of the game and set the rules. Games are all about learning the rules set by the creator which can often defy expectations.

I'll be honest with you, I thought this was satire before I read the next line.
It's not totally different. It's very similar.

The main difference is that there might be any number of equally-or-more-valid reasons to have AR/MR glasses on than "it's too bright".

Like, "I'm on call for blahblah" or "I'm watching the baby monitor" or... whatever, a million possibilities.

So yes, AR glasses detract, but no, it's not different.

Also, lots of wearers consider that social interaction complexifier a feature, not a bug. Which is why you see a lot of cops wear sunglasses all the time, even with no sun. For a deep, heart-to-heart conversation with somebody important? Sure, take them off. For anything else...
I’m in my late 30’s, and I was a high school educator for about a decade. Teenagers have become quite comfortable holding an entire conversation while wearing earbuds. As an ancient and outdated old person, my initial gut reaction was that it was… a bit rude(?); however, these teenagers just internalized that audio pass-through was a thing, and wearing earbuds didn’t indicate a lack of attention to the conversant. My point being, we may not be comfortable having a conversation indoors with sunglasses on today - but that could change in a flash and only ‘old people’ would even notice.

That's part of it. Part of it is that sodium bulbs are power hungry, so they tend to be provisioned to be dimmer.

Also, many LEDs have reflectors on top that prevent them from shooting light into the sky. These aren't required by building codes from what I've seen. Similarly, I don't think buildings are designed with this in mind.

Office buildings with massive glass atriums / skylights tend to be particularly bad offenders, since indoor lighting is often designed to bounce light off the ceiling.

If you have not encountered it yet, I highly recommend Ben Eater's 8-bit computer series (https://eater.net/8bit/). I don't remember any other piece of material which made me grok the deep underpinnings of CPU instructions as this. There was an almost surreal moment where my brain went "ooooooh, this is how a CPU instructions is just a complex network of switches with on/off states". Ben Eater's other material is also great, he's just a good teacher.

Building on that, the "NAND2Tetris" starts, as the name suggests, with basic logic gates and packages these low level concepts Matryoshka-style into recursive boxes with the end goal of programming a Tetris clone. See https://www.nand2tetris.org/

IAM is an excellent example of why from a developer perspective security is "broken".

Some security group at a company will have a "review" of your permissions. Occasionally they will run a "sweep" and yank permissions out from under you.

Instead, here we have an API that the security team can actively manage and PROVIDE A SOLUTION. Should a developer on some project have domain knowledge of IAM to make a perfect bespoke (and it WILL be bespoke) least-permission policy?

No, of course no. that domain knowledge should be a service in any substantive AWS org where they provide it to you, and much more importantly, DEBUG it for you when it doesn't work.

Because here's the deal: IAM may be a bit ugly and have some cruft and evolution, and I believe S3 permissions are another entire headache atop IAM, but this is what an extremely fine grained permissions model looks like: detail hell.

ALL detailed permissions models will look like this. Defining perfect names (by definition coarse grained) to communicate the precise multidimensional n-brane border of a policy is basically impossible.

Here is another issue: in my last job they were obsessed with short-duration tokens and TOTP. Ok great. Hey wait, if I need to run an automated cluster-wide job that will take hours (backup, cleanup, log analysis, etc), what do I do then?

Security team didn't care. Automation? What's that? Just sit there watching the log and manually refresh the keys.

So I end up using a software TOTP generator and hacking it that way. I should not be doing that. It is likely a security hole. The security team should have heard my requirements, accepted them as a necessity (they are) and provided me a solution.

Security should be a solution and service.

CAN bus isn't an interoperable standard, it's closer to lightly structured I2C. It feels like the standards committee might be moving in that direction with the more ethernet style version they're pushing, but I need to sit down and play with it a bit.

While CAN is a standard, it's basically transport layer only. The automakers have all sorts of custom stuff on top of it that's wildly proprietary. Talk to a mechanic and they'll complain about how each car company requires them to buy their own special software suite for diagnosing issues.
Daily reminder that the term "ultraprocessed food" is a label meant to encompass the complex set of unhealthy things in modern, mass produced food products and not literally about "amount of processing".

I can't never tell if comments like this are genuine confusion from overly-literal people with poor language skills, trolls, FUD from manufacturers or what.

Food is complex. A healthy diet is going to be a multi-variable equation including different fats (omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, etc), proteins (9 different essential amino acids needed in varying quantities), carbohydrates (with varying insulin and other metabolic impact by chain length), vitamins, minerals, fiber (soluble & insoluble). As well as uniquely modern things like artificial colors, emulsifiers, anti-caking agents, anti-microbial preservatives, etc. And then overall calories tailored to an individuals size and level of activity.

It's too many variables to include detailed, nuanced descriptions, so we need to use terms like "ultraprocessed" as a shorthand approximation to capture the diverse set of food products which cause obesity, diabetes, GI issues, cognitive issues, etc.

> "Unceded land" isn't exactly a legal concept, it's more of an activist slogan from people who want to see all public land (e.g. >90% of BC) privatized based on race, or want to hold the threat of that over our heads to get more special treatment based on race.

This is a terrible misrepresentation of how “unceeded land” is used.

To characterize it as a call to privatize 90% of the land based on race is bonkers. Nobody means that. Even “land back” movement people aren’t talking about that. And even if some land is returned to indigenous nations, that would not be privatization.

And to call it special treatment based on race is ignoring the reality that indigenous people were for decades, and still are to some degree, systemically disenfranchised and devalued in society. A call for reparations, yes. A call for “special treatment” - nope.

> Legally, Canada does have title to the land

In much the same way that legally I have title to your house if i write “I own that house” on a piece of paper.
It's not clear at all and you can read comments here to find that out.

I don't know the game designer especially but what I actually think is that the system (ie org+people) that produced this puzzle is much smarter than I am. I just don't think the puzzle design is appealing and I gave an impersonal argument to that effect. You have a duty on this side to take comments in good faith. If I give you a factual argument about why I dislike a puzzle you don't just get to accuse me that it's really about intellectual girth.

You are risking to lose a lot of performance by switching away from .NET (assuming you're using anything that isn't EOL) to Elixir. mmap is...alright, but it's not a panacea and 1BRC challenge was a good demonstration that you reach identical performance with often less trouble by leveraging `FileStream`, `SafeFileHandle` and `RandomAccess` instead (the latter is as low on overhead as it gets, reading to a stack buffer with `RandomAccess` read is barely more expensive than calling `pread` from C directly).
Everything is bad these days, not just the sofas.
1. The new switches I bought broke before the old ones, which are over 20 years old.
2. LED bulbs last less than incandescent bulbs, even with a 20-year warranty.
3. The new cell phone's screen breaks very easily, it's not like the old Nokia's.

And nowadays something expensive is no longer guaranteed to last.

This is why I value old things so much:

I have an old chair to work with, it's not a good chair, but it's better than anything new. I did a restoration instead of buying a new one because the new one might not last long.

I have a 10 year old car, I'm scared to buy a new one with the bizarre stories
about new 3 cylinder engines breaking (throwaway engines?)

I try to use old things as much as possible. I stopped using an old Android when SSL stopped working. It's not a matter of lack of money, it's a lack of confidence in new things.

The last brand that I gave some value to was Sansumg. My last cell phone... THEY FORGOT to add a piece to fix the flat cable for the on/off button. And twice the on/off button stopped working, and twice I sent it to technical assistance. The third time I opened the phone and repaired the button myself. My two Sansumg TVs break a few days after the warranty ends.

My sofa broke in less than two years.
Maybe it’s their lineage, but I appreciate most native, first party iPhone apps having local first data storage. 4G is increasingly spotty in my area and it’s a crapshoot whether I can reliably load a time sensitive app that requires remote data in some areas. Throwing something in Notes, Photos, or Wallet always works, though. I’m not sure why I still can’t have my full mailbox on my phone, but at least there are several local options.

I think that's an interesting solution. The thing I've always wondered about doing this though is how would it work for storing code that has syntactical errors? dartfmt has the option of just giving up as you're still left with text. What happens when you want to share code that has those kind of errors?

Not saying this isn't a solvable problem.

> This isn't a Getty Images initiative, but rather being run by the Getty Museum

ADHD fail on my part! I even skimmed the article and totally didn't even parse that basic bit of context. Considering that Getty Images (originally photodisc) didn't appear until the early 90s, I'd love to see this turn into a Worldwide Wildlife Federation/Wordwide Wrestling Federation thing.

It being a museum makes it a lot more compelling though. Great job Getty!

>The sad part is that the Getty gets to do these kinds of things only because it's one of the best endowed institutions on the planet with funding to pay researchers/archivists/developers to do this work

And even within those institutions there's still more work than could feasibly be done. I worked in one of the best-funded, if not the best-funded non-governmental library systems on the planet and they've got an order of magnitude more things that need to be digitized than what they've already done, and they do a LOT already.
I think the really disturbing aspect to me is that no editor or reviewer flagged this. It's literally the first sentence of the paper! Did they just read the abstract and say "meh, good enough"? Were they all using AI to review the paper?
I appreciate this observation.

It identifies that rudeness comes from lack of attention and that communicating attention can change within a cultural context.

> This readme does a really poor job of explaining what the improvement is or how they drop half the multiplications. What is the Big O run time on this? Is this shifting the known best bounds?

Without wishing to sound elitist I, I don't understand the point of this comment at all. If you don't understand Big O notation enough to know that "half the multiplications" doesn't change it then why are you even asking about it?
Some people write novels, some don't. Why some people do so we sometimes know, sometimes we don't (maybe they flipped a coin to decide). Some start to write but fail to finish.

You have to believe that humans have no free will in a certain way to have them be like an LLM, i.e, every action is externally driven and determined.
Noting is just a meditation technique

You might also call it an exercise for insight practice

There are multiple traditions that use noting or similar techniques for insight practice (maybe with different names)

Can’t vouch for this thread, as I just found it, but here’s a related discussion (Dzogchen vs Vipassana) https://www.reddit.com/r/Buddhism/comments/9t3095/dzogchen_v...
No offense, but I think you either don’t understand how niche racing sims are or don’t understand that “killer app” is meant to convey an app which justifies the existence of the device for a broad segment of the market.

And, if anything, Half Life Alyx remains the killer _gaming_ app (and it probably isn’t either if I’m being honest).
I think you could make the exact same argument about almost any tech device, like the iPhone itself which is wildly popular along with the spinoffs.

Also VR isn’t what companies, Apple at least, care about. It’s a stepping stone to AR which is why the AVP does a “fake AR” of sorts as its primary mode of operation. You have to walk before you run which is also why Apple pushed VR/ARKit so hard even before they had a device to really take full advantage of it (as in a device that’s not just holding an iPad up and pointing it at table, all of 5 people care about that).

The Overton window will shift if people get true utility out of VR/AR in the same way it’s shifted on everything else. Right now there just isn’t anything compelling enough to force that shift but I think it will happen quickly when there is.

And before “I find X compelling”, ok, that’s great for you, for the vast majority of people the tech and/or use-cases are not there yet.

The whole system where a person can lose a license and permission to work for arbitrary reasons is unfair. The license should prove that the person has necessary knowledge and should not be used as a mean to punish someone for his views or for being too smart to profit from unfair laws. If you want to punish people, there is criminal code.
