The issue I see is new grads will join the team and we’ll be told they will only be around for 6-12 months. No one with any seniority wants to waste their time training someone who won’t be sticking around. Even if we’re not told this explicitly, the new mantra being repeated by the masses is to job hop into promotions and pay raises.

Anytime I take time out of my day to train or mentor someone else, it is with the expectation that the training will pay off down the line. They will be able to take work off my plate, write code I can more easily review and work with, or train people who come after them. If they aren’t sticking around, none of that will happen, so it’s not really worth the investment.

People who hire in as seniors, but have a track record of job hopping, get treated the same way. People with 15-20 years at a company aren’t going to go out of their way for someone who is only sticking around for 1 project. Those people don’t have any skin in the game and are treated as such.

Comparing this to Tipper Gore is so ridiculous. It's as to write off potential concerns because she was against video games and rap music, then applying that logic to an algorithm that is specifically designed to draw you in and make you consume. Forums and Newsgroups were also much harder to find. Google didn't even exist at that point (or at the very least wasn't popularized); it took minutes to get a single "explicit" image to load. Not only that, but the idea of a "filter bubble" didn't exist, because generally speaking information was harder to find, but also more diverse once you found it. That isn't true once you're sucked into an algorithm. I said in another post, I think you could let a kid explore around the age of 13 on these platforms. It's still probably not healthy, but 5 years old? That's insanity, and for the numbers to be near 30% is outrageous.

>but what do you want a system where we have to license people before the can have kids?

Weird jump in logic here. I was never suggesting this. You can be concerned about something and not want such drastic measures. That is usually how adults operate. Teenager logic deals in absolutes like this.

Yes I shouldn't have used the word episodic. The problem with your third solution is that it seems to be difficult to do with the current way TV series are financed and produced: You can't commit to multiple seasons at the outset and you also want to have an arbitrary number of episodes depending on how well the show is doing (milk more episodes if the show is doing well). There is also incentive to create cliffhangers so that subsequent seasons can be produced.

There are lots of mini-series which do book adaptations but it's hard to come up with examples that span multiple seasons: "My Brilliant Friend" did it I think and maybe you could argue early "Game of Thrones" but the story was never finished in book form either so it couldn't be said to be telling a complete story.

I don;t think "The Wire" gets enough credit for creating a format that conformed to the constraints of TV production while still being able to tell stories that spanned many episodes. You could have ended the series at any season (had it been cancelled) and it wouldn't have felt incomplete and yet the final season did feel like it completed an even larger story arc.
It's a meta-analysis. It's not a controlled study like I asked.

And if you go back and dig through the original studies, not a single one of them is a controlled study. Not one.

They always require people to fill out cards of what they ate months or years ago. (This problem is well known - google: nutrition observational study problem)

AND there's the problem that people who eat bacon - which is "supposed" to be bad - often are overweight, and eat and drink way more other stuff that's bad, like tons of carbs, alcohol, etc. Which means that teasing out any actual harm from the bacon, is determined by a statistician. Not so obvious after all.

But if you or I exercise, are healthy weight, eat bacon in a low-carb way, don't drink or smoke, and consume lots of fiber (all of which are true for me, don't know about you) ... it's really not clear how serious a risk factor the bacon is. Compared to just - the risk of being alive.
It seems like Apple and Amazon are missing out more than Google.

Google and Amazon get revenue from people using their cloud infra for GenAI stuff. Google can also cash in through other products like Workplace, but also has VertexAI, their OpenAI alternative. Amazon doesn't really have a ball in these product based offerings.

Apple is missing out on both, lacking a cloud or API offering and has yet to meaningfully offer gen AI thorough their products, with Siri being the obvious place to do so by now.

MSFT has an advantage with Windows and VS Code copilots, and to a lesser extent GitHub workspaces.

META is one company that is dumping money into AI, and open source AI for that matter. It's unclear how they will monetize this other than through more personalization on their platforms.
I understand. The way you wrote it it sounded like you were implying that the scope itself strips the color spectrum ("black and white") when really it's just the light is so faint that our cones don't really register color while our rods can easily register bright white light. (i work with weird people who don't like false color and instead look at the image as a series of monochromatic filtered images because you can see more detail that way)

>> These machines are just unfathomably dumb.

I agree with you, and we seem to hold a minority opinion. LLMs contain a LOT of information and are very articulate - they are language models after all. So they seem answer questions well, but fall down on thinking/reasoning about the information they contain.

But then they can play chess. I'm not sure what to make of that. Such an odd mix of capability and uselessness, but the distinction is always related to something like understanding.
> It’s generally illegal in most countries to use another country’s passport within the country your passport is from.

It's not generally illegal. Some countries have that requirement but those are generally countries that are particularly strict (e.g. you mentioned Germany and Argentina but they're both countries famous for unusually strict nationality laws; Germany generally strips people of their nationality if they acquire a foreign nationality, Argentina on the other side makes it impossible to renounce your citizenship at all).

You might want to do that with human input if it's helpful to the user - ie user enters a phone number and you strip dashes etc. But if it's machine to machine, it should just follow the spec.

https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/student-loans/avera... (“As of the first quarter of 2023, student loan debt in the U.S. stands at a total of over $1.77 trillion. More than 92% of this is federal student loan debt while the remaining amount is owed on private student loans, according to Federal Student Aid (an office of the Department of Education).”).

That 92% figure is in terms of debt amount, not number of loans.

The limits you mention are per student. Parent PLUS loans are limited only by the school’s official cost of attendance: https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans/plus/paren... (“The maximum PLUS loan amount you can borrow is the cost of attendance at the school your child will attend minus any other financial assistance your child receives. The cost of attendance is determined by the school.”). Schools are extremely aggressive about ensuring parents are on the hook for the loans so students can take out the maximum.
They can and they will because they did it once moving to open source in the first place.

Digital distribution is already the norm, it's already superior to all other technologies. The elephant in the room is copyright. It's the cause of all the problems and limitations we presently encounter.

It makes no sense to even speak of "leasing" what's actually trivially copyable data. That's working within the conceptual framework of monopolists. There is no "cost", any costs associated with digital distribution can and will be so efficiently distributed among all users they might as well be zero. All the monopolists need to do is get out of our way.

The only solution to this problem is abolishing it all straight up. Just get rid of copyright. It's holding us all back.

True, we cannot determine the scenario.

> but we haven't observed life emerging from non-life

But our laboratory is very, very small, so that proves little.

And we know life emerged at least once, and it doesn't seem particularly improbable. That's what I mean by "not magic"; not that we understand every little step, but we have some idea.

I don't think it's scifi to believe it's unlikely only Earth has sparked life. The one thing that is unlikely is that we will ever witness life anywhere else, but that's a different problem.
Flutter employees unlikely helped to make Google $2T company, since they do not participate directly or indirectly in main ecosystem/revenue streams.

I'm with them, I don't enjoy those scenes (in general - haven't seen the one in question). Not because I'm a prude, I just find them a little boring and they usually take too long - and often are immersion breaking themselves with how they clothe or position characters to appeal to TV decency standards. An implication and a fade away is enough for me, unless something pivotal happens within the scene itself.
If Kaiser could figure out how to cut those jobs themselves, it’d be done by next week. When it’s for the good of society, we have a conscience; when it’s for the bottom line, there’s no conscience and that’s celebrated. I have no solutions, only a pervasive anxiety.

Burning the SSO Boogeyman
> implement this imaginary font selection functionality

We are already doing GSUB/GDEF tables and a lot of horrible stuff to display pretty glyphs on the screen. Hell, there are literal instructions for VM in TTF files to help with pretty rasterization on low-res screens.

Making font rendering library is hard, Nintendo hard.

That's just a nature of the beast. Fonts are messy and if we want one standard to deal with it once and for all, that means some compromises must be done. CJK is not some obscure alphabet. In this case, perfect is enemy of good.

I am just glad there really is only one (non-niche) standard, obligatory https://xkcd.com/927/

One minor tip is that you can define .PHONY multiple times. I find this much easier to manage because the .PHONY definition is right next to the target itself.

baz: bar
echo baz

In Ireland/UK, I don't think they cover that at all - They are even a bit sketchy about named drivers. Insurance covering any vehicle tends to be rare b/c they are way more expensive, and usually vocational.
Yet, among those with whom I associate, "Who didja..." is more common than the semantically equivalent elision "Who'd you", probably because it is ambiguous whether the latter is in the past or present tense.

‘Low-fat’ is pretty bad, not just because it turns out excess sugar is far worse (and ‘low-fat’ marketed foods often increased sugar to make them taste better), but also because there are fats that are fine (like monounsaturated fats), and ones we should probably be having more of (like omega 3). There can be inherently bad things about eating less of that, even if lowering saturated fat intake is a good thing… So I would say ‘low-fat’ as a principle was definitely bad and counter-productive advice.
That's a small price to pay for:

- not having to worry about byte order;

- and cruft like surrogate pairs;

- being able to pass the text through 8 bit string representations and even manipulate it as 8 bit in certain useful ways

It is, but that doesn’t change the political calculus at all. If you’re the president who does something which cuts millions of jobs, that’s a LOT of people who are now voting for the other guy. Obama won reelection by 5 million votes, so that could be all of his margin when you think about friends and family.

I am not saying we shouldn’t try, but you really do need to think carefully about how to phase things in so people have time to adjust.

Powershell feels a lot like Microsoft wanted to appeal to *nix users, especially system administrators, without really understanding them, presumably because D̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶C̶u̶t̶l̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ Microsoft's way of doing things was and is considerably different. As a result, it hadn't really occurred to them that much of bash's weirdness and flakiness is historical, not simply because *nix users prefer it that way.

The end result was still a much better language than bash, of course, but that's a very low bar.

You can drive a truck through the Nova food classifications. Every single thing on that list is couched with “typically” or “primarily” or “mostly”. Reading it really reeks of “you know an ultra processed food when you see it” which is unhelpful. The alternative viewing of the nova classifications is that almost everything is an ultra processed food because it has some small ingredient or technique that lumps it into the class 4, which is equally unhelpful.

The problem either needs to be identified to specific ingredients, or just broadly to the group due to human tendencies (hyper palatable foods) that lead to the poor health outcomes so we can actually take action here. As it stands today, the nova classifications basically mean you’re just screwed if you want to truly avoid “ultra processed foods” today.

I must be missing something because the output from two years ago feels exactly the same as the output now. Any comment saying the output is significantly better can be equally pared with a comment saying the output is terrible/censored/"nerfed".

I'm just curious, why not build ontop of another app like Signal?[0] My understanding is that there's nothing stopping anyone from using the same app and creating their own server and nodes. My understanding is that you can even hook into multiple nodes with a custom fork of the app. Wouldn't this give a big advantage of not requiring people to have a whole new app and you can work synergistically with a company with similar/compatable goals?

The thing I see is that if you really want to make a huge P2P network, you need a reason to have the app installed for reasons other than P2P. The problem I've always seen with FireChat was that I'd never get anyone to talk to me and then when there was an emergency no one would be able to download. So we need to have the features built into something with more normal day-to-day utility.
