He gets my respect for that one both publicly acknowledging why he was leaving and their pantomime. I don't know how much the equity would be for each employee (the article suggests millions but that may skew by role) and I don't know if I would just be like the rest by keeping my lips tight for fear of the equity forfeiture.

It takes a man of real principle to stand up against that and tell them to keep their money if they can't speak ill of a potentially toxic work environment.
Other companies have done the same. I worked at a company that is 0% related to the tech industry. I was laid off/let go/dismissed/sacked where they offered me a "severance" on the condition I sign a release with a non-disparaging clause. I didn't give enough shits about the company to waste my time/energy commenting about them. It was just an entry on a resume where I happened to work with some really neat, talented, and cool/interesting coworkers. I had the luxury of nobody else giving a damn about how/why I left. I can only imagine these people getting hounded by Real Housewives level gossip/bullshit.
Afaik Proton is just Wine + Prebuilt configs and tweaks.
First, GameCube/Wii API actually generates the "shaders" at runtime, so there is simply no way to know which vertex/pixel pipeline states the game needs short of playing though the whole game, looking at every single bit of level geometry.

Many games actually dynamically generate new "shaders" on the fly, based on which lights are near an object, and in which order.

Second we can't use those vertex/pixel pipeline states directly on modern GPU, they need to be translated into modern shaders, and then compiled by the driver for your graphics card. It's actually that compile step which causes the stuttering, dolphin's translation is plenty fast enough.

The combination of these two facts means Dolphin can't depend on any pre-computation at all.
ex Expedia employee here

I remember the long period of no CEO after the previous one went to Uber and Barry Diller, I think he was chairman of the board, was kinda at the helm

eventually there was an all hands where it was announced Peter Kern would be the new CEO

his qualifications? "we used to play golf together"

the old boys club vibe was next level

which is like, ok, it always is, but they weren't even trying to tastefully hide it, they literally just made it clear on the record first thing

to be clear, I'm not saying Barry or Peter did a bad job (nor a good one) - as a cog, I usually find C level news and initiatives distractions that merit little attention

I do remember though how Barry said Expedia's work life balance was all balance no work

and how Peter would phone in all hands from his castle in Colorado where he was spending time with his family to tell everyone how important it was people wound down remote work and started coming in to the office again (AFAIK he himself was very rarely in office in any meaningful capacity)

would I call it a well-run company? no, not really, but neither are most other companies, lol. most execs seem to have no better or worse idea what they're doing running a company than the average employee would.

Having the data at all makes it more likely that somebody will use it.
1. I'm not sure why having two charts side by side helps?

2. Indexed charts are also not a panacea - depending on what point on the x axis you choose as your starting point, it is easy to make it seem like one series is rapidly outpacing the other (ie choosing to start at the peak).

Ultimately I think charts are best thought of as a way to communicate a conclusion, not be the primary source for drawing a conclusion. Figure out what point you are trying to convey and choose the chart that communicates that the best.
I understand this argument, but I can't help but feel we're all kidding ourselves assuming that their engineers are really living in the future.

The most obvious reason is costs - if it costs many millions to train foundation models, they don't have a ton of experiments sitting around on a shelf waiting to be used. They may only get 1 shot at the base-model training. Sure productization isn't instant, but no one is throwing out that investment or delaying it longer than necessary. I cannot fathom that you can train an LLM at like 1% size/tokens/parameters to experiment on hyper parameters, architecture, etc and have a strong idea on end-performance or marketability.

Additionally, I've been part of many product launches - both hyped up big-news-events and unheard of flops. Every time, I'd say that 25-50% of the product is built/polished in the mad rush between press event and launch day. For an ML Model, this might be different, but again see above point.

Sure products may be planned month/years out, but OpenAI didn't even know LLMs were going to be this big a deal in May 2022. They had GPT-2 and GPT-3 and thought they were fun toys at that time, and had an idea for a cool tech demo. I think that OpenAI (and Google, etc) are entirely living day-to-day with this tech like those of us on the outside.

> It's a list of links, and they're not rehosting the media, so it's as legal as any search engine or other collection of links.

That's probably still illegal. The implied purpose is copyright violation and piracy. Judges aren't computers - they're capable of discerning when someone is trying to skirt the law by saying "here's something you could use to do something illegal...wink wink nudge nudge".

As someone who has been using google as a working tech person for like the last 18 years this is so insane to read. I've had one or two times where searches were filled with some annoying content, but I've never said "I would like to pay for better results" much less $200.

I would love to watch you use google just to see what's going on that's so bad.
> It seems to be an "AI complete" problem.

Conventionally this term means the opposite -- problems that AI unlocks that conventional computing could not do. Conventional computing can render a very wide range of different stylized chess boards, but when an ML technique like diffusion is applied to this mundane problem, it falls apart.
I have the matte display and on a primarily white background I see a lot of prismatic artifacts. Basically tiny slivers of red, green, and blue everywhere.

If you are asking for the most general-purpose technology around right now, I would say Dart/Flutter.

Dart is a half-decent language, able to be used without excessive pain for mobile, desktop, web and backend development. It compiles to Javascript and WASM, as well as native code. And web can be either traditional HTML or a recreation of your mobile/desktop UI.

It’s a really healthy community with strong leadership and wide participation.

You’ll need SQL, but otherwise, you can build any kind of app with Dart and Flutter with reasonably fluidity.

Not OP, but I use TypeScript because it adds a layer of safety to the codebase.

It's like having good test coverage - you can make large changes and if the tests pass (the code compiles), you can be fairly confident that you didn't mess anything up.

I've written Ruby for years, so I'm used to dynamically typed languages. But JavaScript is it's own level of special, and there's so many ways you can accidentally mess things up.

Having tests cover every single path (especially failure paths) can be very time consuming, and often hard or messy to setup (how would you mock the OpenAI module returning an error when adding metadata to a thread?), where as using something like TypeScript can make sure your code handles all paths somewhat correctly (at least as well as the types you defined).

Your code looks clean, and you appear to have good test coverage, so you do you though :-)

Wuffs is cool, but you can get similar results writing normal C library code, compiling it into a .wasm binary via Clang, and then running the .wasm binary through the `wasm2c` tool of the WebAssembly Binary Toolkit [0]. I personally prefer this method, although Wuffs will usually produce faster code.

Keeping all of Steam in a single wineprefix (instead of the usual approach of each game being in its own wineprefix) can make things quite a bit easier when dealing with programs/games that interact with each others' files. Three general categories of examples:

- Mod managers, trainers, and other external programs that should probably run in the same prefix as the game; yes, it's possible to manually run them in specific wineprefixen with specific Proton versions, or to use tools like SteamTinkerLaunch to pop up a menu first, but these are quite a bit clunkier than just running everything in the same prefix. Vortex and Mod Organizer 2 especially come to mind as being designed to handle multiple games within the same installation; the Proton-centric approach instead encourages having separate Vortex/MO2 installations per game, with all the shenanigans around browser URL associations and such that produces.

- Steam-managed editing/authoring tools for Steam games (e.g. the Creation Kits for various Bethesda RPGs). The Proton-centric approach results in these tools being in their own wineprefixen separate from the games themselves - and while that ain't impossible to live with, it's a lot less convenient than everything sharing a prefix.

- Newer installments in a game series importing save data from older installments (e.g. Mass Effect prior to Legendary Edition being a thing, or the Saint's Row games). Much easier to handle when everything's in one wineprefix; much more difficult when each game is in its own wineprefix (especially if these games don't offer an easy way to manually browse for the data to import).

It's theoretically possible to achieve some of this with Linux Steam + Proton by pre-creating shared wineprefixen and symlinking each game's own wineprefix to a shared one. This also defeats a lot of the point of using Proton in Steam - whereas it's easy enough to just... run Windows Steam in Wine directly (possibly even using Lutris or Bottles or what have you to create separate Windows Steam instances for separate sets of games).
the mind meld stuff requires a high bandwidth connection to the nervous system before you dump the exotic chemicals all over the computer.

Take a bunch of v.35 connectors * (in that era of systems) and plug them into ... places on the body with high density of nerve endings. to put it politely. the more the better. Then have your lab assistant arrange the "accident".

It's not a state but a very local issue (cities, neighbordhood districts). Indeed some cities do okay. The states, like California currently, can try and influence but the cities are resourceful stubborn and corrupt and still can block things at multiple other levels.

In the US, the federal level also very much influences things since for example it is federal institutions which buy the most mortgages (and they decide what kinds of homes qualify). For more examples, the federal level regulates interest rates (the main component of mortgage interest rates) and deductibility of housing costs under federal income tax law (higher than state income taxes for many people).

And elections only go so far because voters are not equally distributed among populations. Even renters tend to not vote but be vocal NIMBYes.

Perhaps a healthy society doesn't have as much crime, criminality, prisons, mass shootings, overdose epidemics, homelessness, or inequality.

Maybe, I dunno, people should have healthcare, prescriptions, mental healthcare, housing, community support to succeed and build a pleasant life, and fair wages.

Healthy societies don't have all that much crime, but the unhealthy ones build walls, prisons, and gates to "contain" it without addressing it.
Kernighan & Ritchie :p

The rest of your post is perfect and objectively (subjectively) correct.

While I fortunately knew that `int* x, y` means `y` is not a pointer, I always assumed it was some kind of capricious oversight of the compiler. I had no idea the rationale was "the expression `*x` declares `x` to be a pointer to the type west of it". That strikes me as so weird! XD

The auto industry is full of people getting a cut of the automotive dollar. EVs threaten that. By switching to EVs, you cut out the oil industry and most of the auto parts industry. States lose gas tax revenue, and automotive and oil jobs shrink. Most importantly, dividends to shareholders shrink.

EVs will become more accepted if and only if we can increase the number of rent-seeking points where the finance industry can convert the EV dollar into stock dividends. Once that happens, magically, all the EV objections will go away.

Sorry-- you're just completely, factually wrong. It's not just the market where I am, either. I just did a google search for "best mocktails in [New York/London/Paris/Los Angeles]" and every one of the top articles almost exclusively highlighted bars or restaurants with bars-- all establishments that primarily serve alcoholic cocktails. If that's not true where you are, where you are is not representative. If you don't believe me, Google "why do people drink mocktails" and honestly consider if your assumptions match your research.
