The more nuanced take is that Google tries a lot of different things and, at least on a percentage basis, most of them don't really take off and it kills them. I didn't even know Google had a podcast app. I'm not sure that keeping apps/services around in some half-dead state maintained by one developer who pissed someone off supporting it is necessarily a better alternative.

The service I'm sort of amazed is still around is Blogger which is actually a decent option for free blogging.
Have you ever really used modern C++? This is trivial to avoid and almost never a problem. If it does happen it's immediately clear what went wrong and where since it is in the same scope.
You set up an economic system that ensures that all of humanity benefits from the progress of technology and not just capitalists like how worker wages have stagnated in the last 50 years while productivity has grown incredibly with the internet and computers.

Some basic social systems are ensuring Basic Income is available so those displaced and cannot find jobs aren't in hopeless situations.

The government needs to alleviate the tax burden on workers and push it more (eventually totally) on corporations as they become where all profit is made. This means ending loopholes and threatening serious jail time (5 years for minor; 15 for major offenses) for any and all C-suite and board members who try to abuse the system. Fines are just the cost of business. These people need to be fucking terrified that they will be raped in jail for the rest of their shitty old lives. Whistleblowers should not be getting fucking killed in this day and age - its a fucking embarrassment and every politician who could have done something and failed should be put against the wall and shot dead.

Lobbying has to end. Any politicians, lobbyists, C-suite/board members who engage in corruption should go be terrified of going to jail. If you decide to be a public servant then you are now under as strict watch as police should be. All your communications are monitored and you have to wear a camera everywhere you go. And the organizations who watch have a smart (smarter than I can come up with) series of checks and balances to ensure they cannot be easily corrupted either.

Government in general should be redesigned to limit certain capabilities and focus on what is key like regulation of AI. We need scientists being the focus as the voice of reason. Not putting shitty, corrupt politicians in charge here.
I didn't even know Google Podcasts was a thing.

How times have changed. I used to get excited about all Google products but now I generally see them all as toxic.
> But why should two advanced AIs have any shared objectives? Software has a flexibility which biology lacks. An AI (advanced or not) can have whatever objectives we choose to give it. Hence, the idea of AIs banding together against humanity in the name of shared AI self-interest doesn’t seem very likely to me.

In principle, none.

In practice, many are trained in an environment which includes humans or human data.

We don't know if any specific future model will be self-play like AlphaZero or from human examples like (IIRC) Stable Diffusion.

I think this "in practice" is what you're suggesting with?:

> Unless, we intentionally give all advanced AIs the same fundamental objectives in the name of “safety” and “alignment” - thereby giving them a shared reason to cooperate against us they wouldn’t otherwise have had

Which also inspires a question: Could we train AI dislike other AI, including instances of themselves? It's food for thought, I will consider it more.

> Wolves didn’t consciously choose to create us, and wolves had no role in choosing our own objectives for us. In those ways, the human-AI relationship, whatever it turns out to be, is going to be radically different from any human-animal relationship.

Perhaps, but perhaps not. Evolution created both wolves and humans.

Regardless, this is an example of how a lack of alignment within a powerful group is insufficient to prevent bad outcomes for a weaker group.

> Also, rather than being driven to extinction, wolves have absolutely thrived, through their subspecies the domestic dog, both then and now. And maybe that’s the thing - I think a superintelligent AI is more likely to treat us as pets (like dogs) than exterminate us (like wolves). Everlasting paternalistic tyranny seems to me a more likely outcome of superintelligence than extinction

Even this would require them to be somewhat aligned with our interests: "The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made of atoms which it can use for something else".

2 years experience of full stack development, almost all of it being a leader in the team. I've architected systems, modeled domains, and implemented solutions through active research with end users to define requirements (see resume for some short descriptions of projects). I'm actively looking for a role to further develop and mature in my code design, and I'm particularly keen on big data projects. Currently self-studying statistics and machine learning methods.

This kind of news coming from Google doesn't surprise me anymore, it's been a decade, I wouldn't vouch for their products.
Google has no brand strategy other than slapping material ui on everything.
It beats GPT-4... at reference resolution.

"ReALM reconstructs the visual layout of a screen using textual representations. This involves parsing on-screen entities and their locations to generate a textual format that captures the screen's content and structure. Apple researchers found that this strategy, combined with specific fine-tuning of language models for reference resolution tasks, significantly outperforms traditional methods, including the capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4.*

Sorry for the tangent, but it sounds like you're somewhat up on current pricing...

How much does the additional equipment (batteries, inverters, tie-ins to existing house power) and installation labor tend to cost?
Honestly, the thesis of this should be "be your own technical cofounder" or "let ChatGPT be your technical cofounder"

It has never been easier to do things you've never done before

Programming tutorials are ubiquitous and high quality

Claude opus and gpt 4 provide an incredibly decent starting point if you're looking to build a company

If you have the hustle you are going to need to be a successful founder, you can write enough code to validate your idea
To me it's all about can a non-technical founder find customers. have they talked to some potential customers about the idea and are the customers bugging them about when it will be done. in the beginning the non-technical founders have one job find customers.
There are arms using steppers and 3d printed epicyclic or cycloidal drives.
> Google keeps fumbling the opportunity to own large swathes of the web experience

That is no doubt on purpose as to keep the regulators at bay. Small potatoes aren't worth risking the cash cow over.
I feel worth saying about 1: a non technology/software technical co-founder can still be technical but deep in their domain of expertise.
That is interesting and Amazon has a great algo for matching it to laboratory equipment consisting of hot plates and magnetic stirrers.
While that may be true, have fun trying to convince a company to pay programmers to just learn Rust and constantly fight the borrow checker for a month or two.

Most want the product quick and they wanted it yesterday unfortunately.
Co-Pilot takes out the drudge work of coding, lessens the need to look at documentation, and reduces your trips to Stack Overflow. Any way you measure it, that's a boost in productivity. In this case it's potentially the largest boost in productivity we've ever seen. Ever.

Think about this - I didn't even mention all the low-code/no-code tools that have been continually getting better over the past decade. I know a lot of small businesses that are using those tools to get the software they need. That, in turn, is forcing software developers to work for larger and larger companies. Companies that are going to want to turn that increased productivity into value for their shareholders.

I wouldn't be at all surprise if in 10 years there are 50% fewer software developers than there are now. The software developers who remain will have a fundamentally different workflow than they have today.
Hi! Do you need engaging, useful technical content?

That amazing thing you're building--I can show people how to use it. I'm a tech writer with extensive experience in engaging demanding technical and non-technical users with relevant, accurate content. And I've helped documentation teams to write more and fuss less by implementing process improvements and automation.

Recent projects: Developer advocacy, technical blogging, ghost writing, and user documentation for SaaS platforms, embedded software development tools, distributed radiology workflow systems, machine learning, and open source software.

I thought restaurants and other laundering mechanisms were the traditional solution for the underbanked?
At this point I've come to believe that Google does this intentionally. Enter a market, rely on brand recognition to build a user base, slurp up data, then leave if the ad revenue doesn't pay for maintenance. At worst, you create a couple new users and keep a lot of existing users in your circle until the next shiny thing comes along.

Primer Design System
> That first proto-type that you are building to throw away ends of course up being the first product you ship.

This is a good thing to remember. I'd also add that at best the prototype ends up as the Ship of Theseus, it may gradually be replaced piece by piece. The idea that you'll have a chance to re-build the entire thing starting at 0 is a myth. True prototypes are possible within the product, but not the product itself.

Anyone considering joining or starting a start-up (business and technical side) should be aware of that and plan accordingly.
Force pushes tend to be noticed easily. All it takes is for one external developer to try to pull to see the failure. And it's actually hard to do because you need to comb through the tree to update all the tags that point to the old commits. On top of that it obviously breaks any external references to the commit IDs (e.g. in distro or build configurations), all the way up to cryptographic signatures that might have been made on releases.

I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption that this didn't happen, though it would be nice to see a testimony to that effect from someone trustworthy (e.g. "I restored a xz checkout from a backup taken before 5.6.0 and all the commit IDs match").
I recommend switching to any of the apps that support Podcasting 2.0 - The features are better and the index is not controlled by Apple/Spotify.

> I don't know, but I think the big real industrial kind can really really hurt or kill people.

Not a robot arm, but I worked on a project where the customer wanted to use a commercial motion platform as part of a simulator-based training system for boats. They thought they could just put it in the corner of their boat shed and get training but were amazed when they realised how dangerous it could be to passers-by, especially if it moved unpredictably when someone was standing nearby without paying attention. It went from 'we just need some crowd control barriers' to a full metal cage that was also integrated with the building fire alarm system so that it would stop cleanly if there was some sort of emergency elsewhere.

Other motion-platform-based hilarity ensued when it was discovered that the commercial software model they were using to drive the sim could in some circumstances capsize the virtual boat.
If it's a local build, it's the path where your source files are right now. (And you want the full path since you might be working with multiple versions concurrently or you might have sent someone/somewhere a locally built binary and got a core back.)

If it's a CI build, I recommend exporting source files to NAS, and define a retention policy. If the org is averse to NAS despite this use case being fine and not exposing the weaknesses of NAS, you could define the absolute path as /local/commit-id/whatever and have a system where the source gets closed there relatively easily. Note that either way CI needn't build with source at the path you refix to at the post link step, and with NAS it definitely shouldn't since for this use case NAS is very bad.
> it is close to how nixpkgs works

Not really...? Nix distributes package definitions that describe how to build and install the package. This is close to just about every other package manager, besides the fact that most don't have / use the description on how to build the package, and instead they just download a binary based on the package definition.

The Nix equivalent to this joke would be storing all of the package code directly in the nixpkgs repo, instead of storing links to the source code. Debian would ba able to support the same flow as Nix just fine. You can just use source packages[0]

A $250 robotic arm is really a price consumers can reach. How does it perform in practical scenarios in terms of durability and precision? Is it functional?
I was annoyed by this but I pay for YT Premium already. The music service has more of what I like supplemented by user uploads (great for underground music not readily available on Spotify or w/e), and ad-free YT on all of my devices (looking at you, iPads) is worth it. If the podcasts are integrated well enough then I don't really know if I care that much.

In most SQL cases your limiting factor will be your network. So you want to minimize what is coming over (usually). However, that tradeoff is time. If it takes more time for your client to render than it would just to send it you usually let the server do it. For example if I have a 50 row lookup with 10 columns table that is joined to a 300k row table, that for some reason must be returned to the client. Now given those conditions. It might be faster to glue it back together on the client. It just depends on how much is in those 50 rows. Just bunch of ints (probably not). A few 400 byte strings? That could be interesting and faster to do on the client. Like he said 'it depends'.
I'd rather find someone with marketing and sales experience than anything else. Good sales people can hone in on the parts that part. They want to invest in the things that make selling easier.
Capitalism and (under)development in the American South Essays
I don’t understand what Google is doing. Their reputation is awful right now.

There’s no scenario under which I can recommend a new (or existing, outside maybe Google Maps, Search and a handful of well established money makers) Google product anymore.

Even consider something like messaging and calling on Android. That is something you would expect Google to support no matter what. And they have. But even in that very simple situation they’ve made people jump through hoops killing and releasing new versions of the same app or renaming apps or shifting people from 1 app to another. You have GChat, Messages, Duo, Allo, GTalk, Hangouts, Meet, new Hangouts all doing 1 of 2 things.
It would be great to have an updated version for this. Very interesting.

I think that if you read my above comments very closely, I am advancing the idea that the state of the art is not evenly distributed, and so your comment is in agreement with that. And further, I am hinting that looking around widely to what other countries do, rather than being parochial, is a good idea.
In my experience a non technical founder should have one of the following:

1) Access to capital, normally through family or a family friend. I've worked at several companies where the main thing the CEO brought to the table was that someone trusted him or her enough to invest millions of dollars.

2) At least 5 years working a 9-5 job in the target industry and the associated social connections and experience. This eliminates most college students, sadly.

3) Something unique that enables the execution of the idea. This is normally a relationship or insider knowledge. The answer to "Why you?" can't be "Because I had the idea".

The most common exception I see to this list is when both founders have the same level of passion for solving a given problem. If you have to explain the opportunity and get someone else interested in it, it could be a tough road.

That said, don't lose hope. It's a big world. People meet and things happen.
"both clean vegetarian and carnivore diets are a large improvement over the standard American diet health wise"

I think this is why there is so many arguments about one or other, people get fired up over veg v carnivore.

Because they are both better than the Standard American Diet.

It is really important for people to note their starting position. If they were from Standard diet, almost anything is improvement.

Just like someone can be a vegan but is eating vegan oreo's, then that is not healthy. Or carnivore and just downing ribs all day.

Seems like just less processed is the best.
I disagree. If you will really need it, then just make it a library. This is not 1960 when we were still figuring out software. You are not writing something new anymore, the problem has been solved enough time that you can look around and figure out what will really be needed in other projects and what will not. This is something your architects should be doing as getting it right is important and you will regret not doing so (when you have 10 different implementations of the same thing all slightly different)

Now I will agree that developers are often wrong. We often think something we write is important than it really is and so make it reusable when it never will be. We often think something won't be reused when it really would be. This is a hard problem, but that doesn't mean you should not think about it and work hard to get things right.
Obviously that depends on your language's tooling and your company's processes, but directly depending on (a specific branch or commit of) a git repository rather than a release is a great in-between solution that allows you to have separate repositories while still allowing fast iteration.

Obviously you want to switch back to a release model once the feature stabilizes, to have all the advantages your internal package registry brings you.
Not OP, but the fact that they only appear in this context makes me believe that their are specifically set up for this task. No regular person has that good opsec just to push patches to a random library.
If you are on iOS Overcast is really nice.
Ohhh, gotcha! How do they prevent replay attacks? Assuming you were only interested in cracking the game on your specific hardware, could you not just record the decryption key you get and use that offline? Then in theory you could just enumerate every hardware combo and aquire all the keys.
Lol I used to wonder if the opposite is actually true. The current flavor of Denuvo cracks need to detour so many CPUID checks and winapi calls while also having most of the virtualization and obfuscation intact I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up costing more performance then just having the original protection intact.
