The current movement focuses almost exclusively on the individual. When the best solution to most problems is collective as part of a society, community, family, team etc. It offloads structural problems on the individual and makes people feel bad when they inevitably can't fix themselves. All whilst making money out of solutions. It is similar to blaming climate change on individuals whilst ignoring massive oil companies.

Because it’s a good language.

Fast enough for most applications. Memory safe enough. Easy enough to learn. Good enough type system. And it helps that it’s integrated into unity and windows. Also the ecosystem, compiler and IDE support is exceptional.

It’s not perfect. It’s slower than native code. It has a worse type system than rust, Swift and typescript. (Burn the nulls!) And C# needs a runtime - which makes it annoying to deploy on Mac & Linux.

I’d put it as an A tier language.

I did C# dev for a couple of years. I think VS is a shitty IDE. It's slow and laggy. So much so I started to use Visual Studio Code for some of the C# development I did. It's way worse than for example Jetbrains products by a large margin.

What exactly with VS is so great? Maybe I didn't use that feature..

I think studies of the mind will always produce less actionable results because at least part of every person's brain develops uniquely. There are structures which have specific purposes and the neurochemical mechanisms for how the brain develops are shared, and these areas are definitely worthy of study. But a lot of the brain's structure is formed by individual experience of the environment, which is impossible to generalize. Other organs are shaped by the environment but less so because they are simpler.

I wish psychologists and neuroscientists all the best and really hope the fields progress, but we'll never achieve a level of understanding of individual brains and how they respond comparable to say, how heart health can vary with diet. I think it's just the nature of the beast that psychology in particular will remain more art than science.

In practice this isn't a matter of how you or I interpret this license - it's a matter of how watertight it is legally.

There's no reason to suppose that terms of any commercial licensing agreement would be onerous. At this stage at least these models are all pretty fungible and could be swapped out without much effort, so Meta would be competing with other companies for your business, if they want it. If they don't want your business (e.g. maybe you're a FaceBook competitor), then they have reserved right not to license it to you.

In any case, don't argue it with me. In practice this would be your lawyers engaged with Meta and their lawyers, and product licensing team.

> To this day I am frustrated when reading papers about abstract algebraic relations and other such concepts, without even a sentence or two discussing any intuitive way to think about them. Just their symbolic relations.

If you’re talking about research papers, that’s just because they’re written for domain experts and aren’t really for giving you intuition. They’re written in a deliberately terse (one might say elegant) style to convey the research findings in formal mathematical language and nothing much else. If you want to gain an intuitive grasp of things, read a proper textbook in detail or play around with the ideas on paper. Or both!

I guess the reason is that once you’ve acquired the intuition, having the literature cluttered up with the same explanations again and again becomes clunky and increases the volume of material to be sifted through when you’re just looking for a result you need in your research and don’t need all the extra chatter. It’s just cleaner that way. But to an outsider it does look more opaque. It’s a trade off.

I don't really care about any features that the touchscreen enables. None. Not the crap nav, not the crap media applets, none of it. And especially not the fan controls, even if i do get a needless 3D render of a fan, slightly stuttering through a graphics processor that i could be convinced was repurposed from a vTech toy.

I literally cannot think of any that a modern car has that I sit in the 2010 and go "man I wish I had X". The little LCD in there actually has more functions that work via the steering wheel controls! Maybe the backup camera (which yes, I know will probably be a regulation so now you have to have a screen, nicely played, auto lobby), but even then I don't really want one if the cost is a car full of junk and I've never had one up to now, even in the newer cars I've also had.

I'd rather they stripped all the pointless shit out and just gave me the savings and reliability bump. And that's why they won't ever do it, they get a bump in price up front and they get to ding you for magical electronic dingleberries in 10 years and meanwhile they can slurp whatever data they can.

Some notes:

- Your "blog" section shows some articles, but none of them are actually readable or linked, they all link to https://webdomina.com/article/null

- The few that loads are literally wall of text, who is gonna read that? https://webdomina.com/article/master-live-customer-chat-with...

- Your pricing is badly done, $49 for 200 articles and $99 for 350 articles? Maybe it should be 450?

- How do I know that the articles are "High quality" and not "sloppy half baked content" like all the other AI around? It's not like you fine tuned a model to write articles, otherwise I'm sure it would be written everywhere.

- Were the Terms of Service written by GPT too? There's no info about the company, or you, or what are the actual terms. "These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of NYC - State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions." Are you in NYC?

- In your footer's social links there's a Discord link to a discussion instead of a Server invite.

- Even your linkedin page is full of nonsense generated by GPT: "At Web Domina, we believe in more than just solving problems; we aim to elevate digital experiences. Our suite of tools encompasses everything from website optimization to cybersecurity, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated approach to digital success."

I don't necessarily disagree, but structurally these moves can be very impactful, particularly in a huge company as sprawling and with as much overlap as Google.

If there's a lot of redundant work being done, maybe the teams will benefit from working together on the same problems.

You're right that most of us don't care, necessarily, but I think it sends some signals that the company is attempting to focus a bunch of less focused lasers at the same point.

It's less common in tech companies than in massive multinationals like GE or Sony that span a lot of different industries.
I'm not denying that perception, but as with everything that has ever changed, there is a factor of resistance to change and idealization of the past to it.

The audience of apps since smartphones came up (let's say 20 years ago) has vastly diversified, from previously mostly professionals and enthusiasts, to a far more general audience. That adds new requirements, and shifts priorities - it's more important now that simple things are simple, and it's less important that difficult things are possible at all. And from an inclusion pov, that's a good thing!

I'm not saying that everything has strictly improved, nothing ever does. But it certainly hasn't gotten strictly worse, nothing ever does either. It's just the tradeoffs that are different, and no longer target as specifically those folks who tend to yell at clouds on HN these days.
“ In particular, Apple – and Facebook – are gatekeepers because they “are digital platforms that provide an important gateway between business users and consumers – whose position can grant them the power to act as a private rule maker, and thus creating a bottleneck in the digital economy”. Spotify is not in that position.”

How is Spotify not in that position? I see no difference between Facebook, Apple and Spotify in this case, except for the fact that they gatekeep different things.

Clean questions incorporate all or some of the client's specific phrasing and might also include other auditory components of the client's communication such as speed, pitch, tonality. Besides the words of the client, oral sounds (sighs, oo's and ah's) and other nonverbals (e.g. a fist being raised or a line-of-sight) can be replicated or referenced in a question when the facilitator considers they might be of symbolic significance to the client.

We came up with this ridiculous idea a while back, and now it's available in real physical format for all Scrum lovers and SAFe haters to enjoy.

If you’ve spent a week or more working in tech, you’ve probably experienced several Agile ceremonies by now. From the hour-long daily standup to the carefully choreographed sprint demo, so much business value is unlocked and the best part is that becoming a certified expert only takes two days.

We've got to Make Agile Great Again, and it all starts with a hilarious card game!

Cards Against Agility is a card game based on that format you know & love, but taking aim specifically at the nonsense of 'Capital A' Agile. This game won't make sense outside of the tech industry... but if you’re an Agile fan, you’ll enjoy it, and if you’re a cynic like us, you’ll absolutely love it.
What's crazy is that in the century before the modern Internet, radio and TV stations, newspapers, and magazines somehow survived just fine selling "dumb" advertising (sometimes supplemented with end-user fees). What we didn't have back then were multiple advertising companies (that insist on being called "tech" companies) perched at the top of the S&P500 with higher market caps than God. Yes, having disgustingly intimate knowledge of the thoughts and actions of billions of people is very lucrative, but why the fuck was that ever allowed to be a legal business model?

Queensland researchers create device that consumes CO2 and generates electricity
I used to say similar things. But have found that so many things that were considered 'more art than science', after a few decades go by, are solved. Either there was an underlying structure discovered, or different view point, or additional data. Then it become 'oh, that's known, here is the formula'. They become common, are in textbooks.

Every science has gone through something like this.

Neuroscientist have now been able to scan a brain and re-produce the image the person was thinking of. In 2000 that would be called magic, what about in 2040, will they be able to scan and find out what you are feeling, and then apply some magnetic fields and change your mood. It's now in reach, real studies, real science, the mind is being untangled.

I think it's pretty clear that at least these (including their online versions) cannot survive in masse. We can argue around the reasons for this, but that's what happening.
The swiss newspaper NZZ reported in february that the cost for a drone, out of russian ( licensed-) production - i believe the site that has been attacked recently - is 27.000 EUR per unit. A german/french/british artillary unit costs 500-650-k EUR. Which allows for roughly 25-missed drone attacks against one artillery unit and with the 26-th attempt beeing a hit, the damage/cost on the ukrainian side still remains higher than the cost spent by the russian attacker. That tells me, that the idea of the western supporters of ukraine, to win the war by economically outperforming russia simply does not work. Its not like in the 1940-ies when the US war-economy outperformed the german war-industries.
One more reason for more efforts to negotiate a end of this conflict, the sooner the better.
IDEs don’t create complexity. But they do remove some of the natural downwards pressure on complexity that you get without an ide.

I’ve been programming for 30 years and I still feel very mixed about that. For some projects, I figure who cares if it took us 30k lines to solve the problem. It’s just that complex, and more code = more optimised data structures and faster runtimes. On other days I’m reminded of how productive I can be with tiny programs or libraries that just solve their own niche exceptionally well. The best small libraries basically never need to be modified or updated. They just work and keep working forever.

I don’t think this conflict can ever be solved once and for all. I’m sad that Chrome and Linux are around 20-30M lines of code. Would they be better or worse programs if they were smaller? It’s so hard to know.
