I'm building a complex greenfield app in WPF, so your "Desktop UI is painful" comment does not resonate with me at all. They will have to drag me back to web development kicking and screaming. I absolutely love building UIs in this framework. No blockers, no bullshit. So fluid and easy.

Not to mention, the exact same paradigm translates to the other Microsoft desktop/mobile/x-platform frameworks, so if you insist that WPF is "old" or out of date, everything you build can be ported/refactored quite easily to the newest framework(s).

I have built non-trivial desktop apps in every framework except QT, and you would have to pry WPF from my cold dead hands.
A comparison to video games shows how hard it is to truly practice social skills. You can't play the same situation over and over, which is why it's easier to get better at small talk than confrontation. People don't want to reveal how they manipulate you, so schools can't teach about head tilting and brinksmanship. You have few trustworthy external evaluators, so you can come away from a conversation where you talked the entire time thinking you got a high score instead of a low one. The opportunities for using social skills to make a romantic connection are rare and you hardly ever even get to see how other people do it. Being able to act out scripts and get real feedback could be a tremendous benefit to the world.

People who offend, withdraw, or blunder have existed since before techno-optimism. This is their chance to become better in a safe space without embarrassment.
Beeper has been talking about running on-device bridges rather than server-side bridges. So presumably that would allow encryption to the user's device, then re-encrypted on-device to Matrix then sent to Beeper.
Plus a few sacrificial digits to get the lawsuits through that prove to the manufacturers that their liability is real, serious and large.
Groq doesn't use AMD afaik, they had designed hardware of their own, which is actually 1000s of SRAM chips in a trench-coat.
Brazilian law allows content to be removed online for reasons of investigation, hate speech or unbased defamation. This always were the case. And Musk is free to appeal to court if he disagrees with something. However, this would not help the far righ to create a narrative of censoring against free speech, so it's better to just make a lot of noise on Xwitter.

Curiously, Elon Musk has no problems with censorship in India, made at the whims of local president, because in this case it is the far right that are censoring things. "Free speech" becomes a problem when it is the far right that it is being investigated and had accounts suspended, not at the whims of the president, but because of court decision.

I launched a comparable tool recently[1]. I've actually specifically not been calling it an "AI Software Engineer" as I don't think that's the right framing for the capabilities of current models.

My focus has been on giving the developer as much fine-grained control of the LLM-based agent as possible in order to tighten the feedback loop and work around bad output (which is inevitable, unfortunately).

In self-driving parlance, I think of it as L3. The agent can work autonomously, but the best results are achieved by the developer keeping their hands on the wheel and making corrections when needed. Imho that is currently the sweet spot for real productivity.

All I see is "The rise and fall of the Sid Meier's Civilization franchise from 1991 to 2018 is both one of the great tragedies of the computer gaming industry, and a window into the massive change in psychology of the US ruling class. This thread will explore both."

Is there a blog or some other place where it is possible to read this?
I don't really consider new devices that don't have headphone jacks. This wireless-everything craze is so obnoxious.
A bit of pedanticism here - it's not the Beeper protocol, it's the Matrix protocol. Beeper is built on top of Matrix (using bridges that you could host on your own server if you wanted).
I generally don't, I was following GP.
Let’s say you want to compute avg transaction value of a user in the last 90days. You could pull individual transactions and average during the request time - or you could pre compute a partial aggregates and re-aggregate on read.

OLAP systems are fundamentally designed to scale the read path - former approach. Feature serving needs the latter.

yaroze devkit costs upwards of $10,000 USD now
I'm used to newer computers, so Visual Studio 2008 was my favorite Visual Studio. With VS 2010 and later, Microsoft decided to scrap the existing Win32 based UI and rewrite it in WPF, which made it take 20 seconds to start instead of less than a second. Even after it's started, it's far less responsive than 2008. If only Microsoft offered a "Visual Studio 2008 but with modern standards support" product...
TechScape: Could AI-generated content be dangerous for our health?
There are far more than 33 shinkansen trains between Tokyo and Nagoya. Today there are 127. There is some variance in how long it takes depending on time of day and number of intermediate stops, but most are less than 1h40m.

It basically never makes sense to fly between the two cities. I'm not sure you'd even make it from the entrance to Haneda to the exit of Centrair faster by plane than by train (it takes ~3 hours by train, including 2 transfers. About half the time is on the Shinkansen...). Maybe you can do it in less than 2:30 by plane. It could make sense to connect airplanes in some cases, I guess.

Please can we get jacks back.

The audio quality on these battery powered blue tooth headphones is fucking awful. IM not a purist by any stretch, but a decent pair of head phones is a whole other world of music vs anything AirPods like.
My understanding is that the excess cost isn't so much the safety device itself but that cheap, flimsy table saws can't handle the extreme torque created by stopping the saw more-or-less instantly, so the device is limited to higher end equipment that's heavier and has better build quality.

It's an interesting concept that a company could gain a dominant position in a market involving an open standard, then lead innovations in a way that would be difficult for other companies to challenge or follow.

It's not embrace, extend, extinguish because the changes are not proprietary. Chrome is simply able to out invest everyone else with their cash from their ad business. I am not a legal expert, so I don't know if this type of cross-market subsidization is legal.
You are right, AMD should do more with consumer cards, but I understand why they aren't today. It is a big ship, they've really only started changing course as of last Oct/Nov, before the release of MI300x in Dec. If you have limited resources and a whole culture to change, you have to give them time to fix that.

That said, if you're on the inside, like I am, and you talk to people at AMD (just got off two separate back to back calls with them), rest assured, they are dedicated to making this stuff work.

Part of that is to build a developer flywheel by making their top end hardware available to end users. That's where my company Hot Aisle comes into play. Something that wasn't available before outside of the HPC markets, is now going to be made available.
I think it varies a lot from product to product, and much of it is the mechanical design of the phone housing, and the durability of the jack they selected. Plus it’s really easy to accidentally put a lot of mechanical strain on it when the cable gets tugged.

MiniUSB was a busted connector design from the start, which is why the industry moved to Micro USB so quickly. Many MiniUSB receptacles in the wild were failing after thousands or even hundreds(!) of insertions.

There are a variety of snow-driving schools throughout the world, most cheaper (although you're not driving a Lambo). The Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat (Toyota) is very fun and much more affordable.
And again, that decision is the more complex one. Inverting that such that everything is immutable by default and mutable or a reference by choice is the more regular, consistent choice that removes a fairly big swath of common programming problems.

The critique here is that it's a badly designed language in that it's design decisions often get in the way of writing software that works as you expect. We're not discussing about whether you can learn such a system. The discussion is a lament on why it had to be this way.

Practically every single person I know who does "woodworking" has some finger injury from a saw--generally the table saw. It's north of 75%.

Sorry but that's just false for a huge number of successful male CEOs who not only have stable marriages with supportive wives, but even that the model of the ideal (male) CEO is one in a stable marriage/with a family as part of the "personal brand."

The hard fact is that many straight men even today are all about supporting their female partners until they actually have to take a back seat. The hostility toward Lore's success displayed by her first husband was the norm overwhelmingly then and still common today.
We don’t know if this is more sustainable than AirPods without an actual supply chain analysis.

"image-manifest=true" was the magic parameter that I needed to make this work with a non-DockerHub registry (Artifactory). I spent a lot of time fighting this, and non-obvious error messages. Thank you!!

We use a multi-stage build for a DevContainer environment, and the final image is quite large (for various reasons), so a better caching strategy really helps in our use case (smaller incremental image updates, smaller downloads for developers, less storage in the repository, etc)
It's google, so probably not. Their claims should always be taken with a grain of salt. They went with their own stuff route for the SOC on their Google Pixel phone lines and those SOC are always much worse than the competition and are the main reason why those phones have such terrible battery life compared to Qualcomm powered phones.

If those 33 trains were operating full you'd need more than 100 flights to replace them.

It sounds like a flight is 3-6x worse than the bullet trains in terms of energy/passenger/mile, with no ability to go zero emissions. (Trains vary)
I've got to say, pimping out your desktop tower has to be the dumbest trend of the last 20 years
That’s a valid reason to choose a repaint rate, sure, but 40Hz? It’s halfway between 30Hz and 60Hz (yes, it is) but it seems like a poor choice, to me. 60Hz would have been much more reasonable.

Also, why do userland applications need to know the monitor refresh rate at all? Repaint when the OS asks you to. Linux is a huge pile of crap pretending to be a comprehensive OS.
They're total hypocrites! For instance Graylog switched to OpenSearch to reap the benefits, but themselves push the awful SSPL on their users.

I have no respect for these organizations. Provide real open source software or start up closed from the get-go, don't build on community contributions for a while and then switch to closed while marketing as being open!
You (well, perhaps not specifically you, depending on your address) can easily get a consumer internet package that'd fully saturate 1gbps. You can buy consumer wireless access points that can serve over 1gbps. You can buy consumer network drives which are physically capable of saturating 10gbps. Modern USB already has transfer rates higher than 10gbps. It's far less outlandishly fast than 1gbps was when that was rolling out.
and it also focuses on the impact, not the intent. Almost any comment can make someone upset and cause them to throw a hissy fit/leave yet most people wouldn't judge those specific comments to be toxic.

Similarly, the most toxic, awful and mean insults can be non-toxic by this definition if they happen between good friends or simply people with very thick skin who won't leave no matter what. (either due to the relationship or simply due to their desire to prove their point)

This study operated on a flawed definition, so the conclusions are biased in quite a strong way.

Also, as other users ITT mentioned, this study uses platforms where posting is heavily censored, either as a global action by the site or by the room's admins (in case of Reddit, FB groups and Telegram). This does not account for the chilling effect - the opposite side won't leave the conversation because they couldn't/didn't want to join in the first place!

So many utter echochambers with really toxic behaviours (e.g. the FDS subreddit) would be classed as non-toxic because all participants have the same viewpoint - the targets of the toxicity are outsiders to the community.

The screenshot on the article shows the page ranking first for "ddos service". Usually you only search this if you're under attack or if you're looking for the service they offer.

I guess they could have a "are you under attack or want to sign up to our service" button, but that probably doesn't work very well.
Yeah, if only there were some kind of connector which would deliver the current to the earbuds. Then you wouldn't need batteries at all. Perhaps some manner of universal connector which would work with the earbuds everyone already has. But that seems too far fetched, we just don't have the technology for such a thing.

> These sorts of bizarrely complex and specific code challenges would at least serve to greatly reduce the number of resumes you have to review. So that is one upside. Unfortunately what that selects for is probably not as obvious as it would seem as many of their candidates would spend that full week on the problem and I wouldn't apply for fear of a workplace culture that values their employees time that little.

It also adversely selects for something else.

In general it doesn't matter what specific technologies someone has used in the past, if they do the same thing. When you hire someone their first few weeks/months are going to be less productive because they have to learn your internal systems and even if you use AWS and they've used AWS, that doesn't mean it will be the same subset of AWS. Whereas by the time they've been there a year they'll have learned the relevant systems regardless of whether it's cosmetically different than the one they used before.

Selecting for the exact set of technologies your company currently uses is going to filter out attractive candidates. Worse, it selects for a monoculture. The last thing you want is to spend two years building something in Golang that exists in the Rust standard library because none of your engineers are aware of that.

And it's simple enough to ask the same question without explicitly specifying specific technologies.
I have one of those yaroze things. I had all sorts of plans for it. Until I realized that the memory on the thing was identical to the size of the normal in store ones and getting at the CD for extra storage was basically broken at the SDK level. That made debugging 'interesting'. Even splurged for the codewarrior dev kit. It was a decent step down in tooling and memory that I could get on other platforms. Kind of fun for a bit.
We had a hole in the cinderblock in school where someone let the wood get away from them and the table saw kicked it back. This was in shop class, not a random wall in the school.

> Boeing concedes those manufacturing changes were made, but a spokesman for the company, Paul Lewis, said there was “no impact on durability or safe longevity of the airframe.”
>
> Mr. Lewis said Boeing had done extensive testing on the Dreamliner and “determined that this is not an immediate safety of flight issue.”

I'd guess that Boeing's PR department no longer thinks Congress and/or the public will believe statements like "trust us, it's fine."

What does the PR playbook say to do in situations like this?

I hope the answer is: share the engineering data and analyses, and make a public argument for why Boeing's is right and the whiste-blower is mistaken.

I fear the answer will be something that's less likely to ultimately save lives.
> There's always a cost-benefit calculation, and the answer should never be 'Whatever the cost.'

Did you read the report[1] in the page that you linked?

On p. 2, it explains that the BART cars were specifically designed to be lighter weight than normal rail cars in order to minimize the energy required to rapidly accelerate to 80 miles/hour (129 km/hour). The lighter weight makes them less stable in crosswinds.

On p. 13, there's a short cost analysis, and their conclusion is it will save them $2 million overall because it will cost additional money to build but will save even more money on energy.

So it's a different trade-off. They gave up stability to gain energy efficiency. So they then did something to regain the lost stability.

Brazilian law allows content to be removed online for reasons of investigation, hate speech or unbased defamation. And this was always the case. Moreover, recent laws tried to control the amount of fake news trying to manipulate the elections. The Brazilian electoral laws forbid spending in secret for the purpose of buying or making propaganda for electoral campaign and also regulate what is allowed in the elections. Before the new laws, manipulating social media with lots of fake accounts spreading fake news was a loophole that was being explored by the far right. What they are calling "censorship" is just the application of law.

After they broke the fear of prove roses I think we will see relatively speedy jumps up as Spotify in particular tries to adjust pricing to be on par with what it would have been if it had been adjusted for inflation since launch. What will be interesting is whether Apple Music follows suit, having recently increased its alongside Spotify last time.

What is interesting is that research from Music Watch, a music specialist consumer insights company in the US, appeared to show that people are somewhat price insensitive when it comes to music streaming. I think we may see a bit of price testing to find out where the churn threshold is.
