"Meetings are a waste of time" + doesn't raise problems independently = "I'm leaving because this place sucks and nothing gets better" with no appreciation of their role in making things better.

Mine are fortnightly or monthly. I decrease the frequency with reports I think will independently and promptly raise concerns in a productive fashion.

Catching problems early is not the only reason to meet -- we also use the time to talk about company priorities, career growth, what's been learned, answering questions about why the company is doing X instead of Y, etc.
>To the best of my knowledge, there was not a significant cash crop economy in medieval Europe.

There was a fair bit of specialization and cash-cropping in Rome, though - it's unfair to assume that Rome and the medieval period are the same here, when the key difference is Rome, which 1) acted as basically a giant trade union, economically, and 2) Rome was built around the mediterranean, which obviously made shipping easier than in the middle of Europe.

Has something changed in TypeScript? There have been a few of these blog posts about branded types lately, but afaik, it's been possible to do this for years.

One of the projects I work on is crying out for better support for nominal typing. It involves manipulating music notation, and there are so many things passed around that are all strings, but semantically different: a note ("A"), a pitched note ("A4"), a key ("A minor"), etc etc etc. Life would definitely be easier if I could just quickly and conveniently declare the types to be distinct.

I do use the branded types thing, but it's a bit clunky and sometimes gets in the way. And the error messages you get aren't as clear as you would like.

True. But is the difference actually 5x? CH32V003 shouldn't be the only option.
The correct abstraction is that a file is a device. A file is a section of a hard disk which behaves like a whole disk. It also happens to be expandable.

cp's default behaviour for device files also happens to be very stupid.

The evidence is out there in published papers that do health economic analyses of various interventions.

On a population based level it makes perfect sense to not do things even if it could save lives.

This is exactly what NICE does in the UK. If it costs more than 30,000 GBP to give one person one more full quality year of life, then it’s not worth it.
I find that doctors in the UK are very well trained to communicate using common English with patients. They will generally never use medical jargon without being prompted, defaulting to the simplest English first[0], and if they do use medical terms then they generally introduce them. It must be a particular focus of UK medical education.

[0] every GP says “tummy” instead of stomach or abdomen, something I find a bit infantile, but it does get the job done.
+1. If you really understand your queries (which, if your queries are complicated enough that you already don't use an ORM, you should), then my favorite set of "tricks" are CTEs to collect info and convert/translate as necessary, then unions to merge/filter said data from the CTEs. Add aggregate/window functions to this data, and you are good to go.

You can really do some complicated pipelining of data cleaning and filtering this way, much faster than resorting to a whole bunch of complicated inline SQL work in the clauses.

[edit] I should add, learn how to read an explain plan, this is vital for understanding and improving your queries.

Claustro- comes from Latin Claustrum, which shares the same root as the Greek word. Claustrophobia wasn’t a word in Latin or Greek though, it’s a modern hybrid.
Interesting. I picked it up working with Tobii devices a few years ago actually. I guess they updated their vocabulary.
I read that blog post, and came off not quite understanding how it is a similar approach. Specifically where it says,

> Devbox installs packages globally in the immutable Nix store and creates a local virtual environment based on your project devbox.json config

Is this "local virtue environment" different to a nix develop shell (which uses, for instance, $PATH environment pointing to nix store paths)? If so, in what ways?

Just some feedback: the training bit of the first few puzzles just confused the hell out of me.

Puzzle one, I see a grid and what looks like a piece. There's a message that says swipe right, so I click-drag right with the mouse, and suddenly I get 3 stars and a congratulation message. What did I even do?

The same thing repeats for about 5 puzzles. Each time I just swipe left or diagonal or whatever, but I'm not actually learning anything about what these gestures do. I don't see anything move, I don't learn anything about the mechanics of the game.

Then I'm on a puzzle that says swipe -> tap -> swipe and...I have no idea what to do.

EDIT Oh. Once I understand the mechanic, all the puzzles feel trivial, because there are so few things you can do at any time. Each swipe/tap is either correct, or instant loss.
I apologize for not having a solution or complaint here. The discussion is mostly over my head.

I just want to point out Matt.sh apparently missed that Jodie’s a hardcore gamer and gaming expert as well as a trusted advisor to senior citizens. She also “… doesn’t want to hold back when it comes to getting the word out about affiliate marketing,” and will teach you her tricks. She is an avid toy insider too, loves toys from the 80’s. Not that bad looking either.
A technical glitch like this sounds more likely vs. Apple purposely holding onto deleted photos for years. Still, if deleted photos are reappearing, it’s important to get to the bottom of why.

Yeah, there's a growing cult-ish obsession in UX design that sees all customization, optionality and user choice as some kind of flaw in their perfect minimalist designs. Frankly, it's kind of bizarre. Our tech is powerful enough and our platforms flexible enough that every user should be able to "have it your way" (as Burger King liked to say).
Yes, but my understanding is that publically detailing how your invention works _before_ trying to patent it means the invention becomes public knowledge/prior art. That is, so long as you submit a patent application before releasing the open-source code, it should be OK, but there's no much you can do once the cat is out of the bag.

I know people disagree with me about this. I certainly hate it that governments gave local monopolies to companies like Comcast

That said, I'm pretty confident municipal internet is bad thing in the long run (compared to actually competitive markets, not local monopolies)

Problems:

(1) Unlike say, water, sewage, power - internet tech changes 10gig might seem fast today. In 15 years it will seem slow. Will the government upgrade? My guess is they'll be slow to upgrade where as places with truly competitive markets will upgrade quick. I watched this happen in Japan. There were 4-5 different providers. One upgraded (twice the speed of competitors for same price), Competitors were forced to upgrade or lose their business

(2) Government run internet is bound to eventually be lobbied to be safe (what do you mean my taxes are being spent so people can download adult content! Stop that! ... etc)

(3) With Government run internet there is no competition so no one else can enter the market and compete.

Come back to this comment and in 10 years. See what speed competitive markets are at and compare to municipal and non-competitive markets.
An awful lot of the Z80 Wikipedia article seems to be taken from oral history transcript.

I hope you’ll read the whole thing as there’s a lot more to it than that and I asked a number of people for their personal history with the chip and I’ve been using a Z80-based machine for most of my life so there’s a lot of personal history in there too.
I disagree that that's always true. AI consumes some value and produces some other value. I'm skeptical that the output value will be worth more than the amount of money and electricity invested in this stuff.

Back when I was studying IR in Uni, it used to be all about terrorism.

In general states will always put a moral spin on terrorists. But terrorism is always the tool of the weaker party.

In fact all forms of rebellion can be spun as terrorism. As the state gets to frame the debate. Even now people refer to state violence as state terrorism.

I remember some authors arguing that terrorism label is more of a construct for emotional propaganda than anything useful for distinction.

Violence is violence. Who we expect or accept to receive that violence is a matter of opinion and perspective.

> Filesystems don't zero out deleted data and dd isn't aware of the filesystem mapping, so unless it's a completely fresh drive, you'll still pull off garbage data.

Sure, but if there's unused space left zeroed, such as partitions that you didn't use, then you get to skip it. It's not a huge priority but it doesn't hurt.
My understanding is that none of the municipal fiber networks are monopolies, so Comcast and co. still play ball in these markets. If this is truly bad then people will just leave.

In reality I think that enough local governments recognize that high quality Internet is a competitive differentiator when trying to attract business.
Yeah, I'd love an app on Windows that can index text files, images, and pdfs recursively through a directory.

Its not like humans always have good creative output. A lot of human creative output is essentially unworkable bullshit that gets discarded quite quickly.

I'm not saying llms are good at creativity (i certainly don't think they are) but i kind of feel like its a difference in quality not kind.

Like if you asked me to describe what it means for a human to be creative, i would probably write something quite similar to what you wrote above.
The gamma factor at 0.2c is only 1.02, which isn't much of an effect. The main difficulty with aiming at something moving that fast wouldn't be time dilation, it would be light travel time delay.

For example, suppose the other ship is one light-second away from yours and is moving at 0.2c. You're seeing the other ship where it was one second ago, and in that time it has moved 1/5 of a light second. Plus, supposing you're firing a laser at it, the laser will take another second to get to the target, so you have to aim 2/5 of a light second away from where you're seeing the other ship. And during that time the other ship could change direction and spoil your aiming calculation. The sci-fi book series probably is making some assumptions about how fast the ships can change direction, how fast and accurately they can aim, and typical distances between ships during combat to come up with the 0.2c number.
San Francisco, it has the right cultural mix for starting a company, amazingly beautiful city and nature, enough cold and sun throughout the year.

Touch ID is so drastically superior to Face ID in so many common “iPad scenarios”, eg. laying in bed with face partially obscured.

I don’t understand Apple’s intense internal focus on FaceID only. FaceID with TouchID as an option when a device is flat on the table or when your face is obscured is so much nicer.
In the US it’s also not uncommon for connections to be not only asymmetrical, but downright lopsided. Comcast sells “gigabit” in my area that’s 1.2Gbps down but only like 20Mbps up which is just silly.

Thankfully a competitor offers true gigabit for about the same price, and so that’s what I subscribe to.

Yes, I agree, but it also could lead to over treatment. If you detect and treat cancer that otherwise never would have caused problems, it was all for naught.

TL;DR: is it about some kind of a shift towards smartphone apps as a fundamental consumer payment mechanism?

I wish this piece of tech journalism was more informative; instead it feels like a lossy rendition of a corporate communique.

The stated goals are using a debit version with some merchants and credit with others, getting rid of the number+expiration+CVV scheme. Both require some kind of interactive UI and some kind of interactive communication with the payment infrastructure for authorizing payments remotely. Both requirements are met by smartphone apps, and hard to meet otherwise.

What I wonder about is - how is this going to interact with the existing Google Pay/Apple Pay ecosystems, and what are going to be the fallbacks when a phone (or whatever other tech they're using) is not available.

Where did you get this info? because I would love to use it, but I went through their info and it says they use a lot of the same data as 1.5 and the acknowledgement section of their site says: "The dataset is CC BY NC 4.0 (allowing only non-commercial use) and models trained using the dataset should not be used outside of research purposes"

Would love it if I could use LLaVA, but don't want to spend the money on like 18 A100s for 24 hrs that they use for training it. A lot of the models using CC BY NC 4.0 datasets, like VILA, thats not available for commercial use unless you train the model yourself. This is the first time at least a research or company has been open with this info, they specifically say: only the pt models can be used with fine-tuning for commercial use.
DPaint was incredible. But Photoshop was still pretty good on its own too. It just happened to advance at a greater rate than DPaint did.
I happen to actually be a a computational biologist whose work could be considered "esoteric and technical" and whose papers are only fully understood by others in my field. But the fact is every paper of mine (and everybody else's) has 50 to 100 references. Because research is pretty much just reusing existing knowledge in the papers cited. The main source of "innovation", if it can be called that, is taking an idea from another field and applying it to your own. The idea of a scientist or inventor who comes up with an idea completely out the blue with no context is common in fiction, but that isn't how it works in reality.

I disagree. Your supernatural scenes triggered words an analysis from higher quality writers and commenters in the training data. If you were writing about bass fishing it would likely not impress you with it's writing. You can try something like this as an experiment. In other words it's good at some writing and bad at others, depending on the training data. I'd love to be proven wrong, like a gripping story about bass fishing might be interesting.

I recently bought a house in Utah. Utopia is the best internet provider experience I've had so far (I've had Xfinity and Verizon previously).

Speeds are typically 10-25 Mbps _faster_ than the advertised rate I'm paying for. Being able to have multiple (~5 or more) provider options to choose between is a welcome change from past monopolies I've been trapped in.

Granted this all could change down the road (I hope not), but so far so good.
