I mean, it's a field that burns things that wander into it. I'm genuinely blown away this was considered for a display technology. It's closer to the risk profile of fireworks than an OLED.
A lot of features included that other registrars charge extra for. Vanity/forwarding email addresses is one of them that I use the most often.

ChatGPT pro has a system prompt setting where you can have a custom prompt that is sent for every conversation you start with it.

Yeah it's the worst. And 'um' doesn't seem to work, you actually need convincing filler words. It feels like being forced to speak under duress.

I've long felt that embracing the concept of the 'prompt' was a terrible idea for Siri and all the other crappy voice assistants. They built ecosystems on top of this dumb reduction, which only engineers could have made: that _talking to someone_ is basically taking turns to compose a series of verbal audio snippets in a certain order.
Probably. Its definitely worth investing in good paper and pens for this hobby. There will be some experimentation tax built in too, I've bought pens that ended up being garbage but there's no way to know that until you try.
Sure feels like that. For years now actually.

Valid criticisms but I should note I didn't write the library. Apologies if I left another impression.

I agree shell scripts are still more convenient for iteration but as you pointed out in your last paragraph, most of mine crossed the complexity threshold and it's now more worth it to me to invest in a proper program than to keep stumbling on poorly documented edge cases in bash/zsh.

And I again agree with your criticisms of the Golang library (worthy of filling a few issues in their GitHub repo btw, if you have the time), it's just that my stance there is: sure it will hurt replacing shell scripts but we should start getting to it. Being stuck in this local maxima is limiting.
One would wonder how they screwed up, taking in consideration billions of people use Meta's products. This only shows you that Big Tech isn't good at everything and that there is plenty of room for startups.

> Biden campaigned on getting rid of Trump’s tariffs

Yeah, well, maybe?

"Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he would remove Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from China, which are taxes on U.S. consumers and companies. An aide later asserted the former vice president would reevaluate the tariffs upon taking office."
I'm curious how many imports that tariff will even impact, it has to be very low currently, right?

> It used to be that when you bought a computer, it was yours. It did your bidding, nobody elses. Security features it had were about keeping other people out, not keeping you out of your own device.

Yeah, but when your device can infringe on others, it's ok to curtail those features. No one has unlimited rights.
I tried it. My Subaru Outback's lane-keeping kit is more reliable. It does less. But what it claims it can do, it does reliably. (Same for Waymo. Does more in a more-limited geography, but does so reliably.) Tesla's FSD would do something bizarre just frequently enough to keep you uncomfortable, but not frequently enough to keep you alert.

I'm interested in learning more about computer architecture. Would people recommend using verilator/verilog or something else lile vhdl?
These are much lower than expected.
A great example of the time-frequency (or space-frequency in this case) duality of fourier transforms. The math of the FT doesn't care about the "direction" that your going for the transform, so function that look similar in time/frequency will have similar FT in the frequency/time space.

In this case, embedding the frequency plot of the cat in the space plot of the women means that the FT of the women will cause the cat to appear, and vis-versa.
> YipitData accessed credit card data from about 3,500 Tesla owners who participated in the trial and found that only 50 bought or subscribed to FSD after the trial

How does this company get its data? Surely that's not the entire population of trial participants? Or, if it is, why does Tesla give data to this company?

Is this one of those places that buys data from customer budgeting applications or something?

Welcome to Perfect Media Server
Only one byte for the filetype is comically shortsighted. Even HFS from 1985 had 4 byte codes. The lack of Unicode is understandable given the era, but the lack of support for any other encoding is another "this is a toy system" red flag. Encryption and compression are the kind of thing that get layered on later as the protocol matures, leaving them out of the first implementation is not an issue.

I'm sure if Gopher had stuck around there would have been a version 2.0 of the spec that addressed these issues, although that one byte filetype would make for some fun backwards compatibility hacks.

The bigger issue is "what compelling reason would you have to use Gopher instead of HTTP"? What does it do better? Small reductions in overhead aren't generally worth the tradeoff.

On a side note I remember one of the earliest search engines for Gopher was named VERONICA, for Very Easy Rodent Oriented Net-wide Index to Computer Archives, a glorious backronym that came about because they wanted to riff on the FTP search engine being named ARCHIE.
His initial valuation is itself questionable. How is 250k at a 1m valuation equal to 70% for the investor? Sounds like an error on OP's part in the post, or a very painful mistake irl.

I do want to say that I think the Itanic would have fared way, way better in a post-LLVM world where the importance of smart, optimizing compilers is much more valued and understood and language designers actively work hand-in-hand with compiler devs far more often (with much more significant back-and-forth from hardware manufacturers).
And I live in Western Wyoming, where the thing regularly has to intuit from how other cars are driving lane placement and traction conditions. It just works. Including in near-blizzard conditions. Partly due to having a radar, which Teslas cut to save costs.

All that said, I wouldn't pay $8k or $99 a month for it. Maybe $2k or $20/month for months in which it is used.
Linked lists are, by definition, a value with a pointer to the next. That's what makes it "linked". The API you're describing is the iterator pattern, which indeed can be backed by almost anything (be it a linked list, array, tree, etc.).
I am currently celebrating one year since my last layoff with no real job lead in site. Plenty of dead end interviews despite 8 years of experience. I have some part time freelance work but it is not sustainable.

I literally lack the time and energy for free labor. I looked into it a bit last year and honestly, what I saw in the community was depressing. lots of healthcare for sick (often terminal) elders, homeless soup kitchens, and lots of work with kids (I hate kids). Maybe I'd help make the world a little better but I'd lose myself in the process.

The previous comment wasn't a personal reflection, I know I'm not viable for modern dating and I'm not puting myself out in the market. I was simply pointing out a persistent societal statistic. It's not really one localized to any location, demographic, or time period. It's always been true.
It drives like a terrible driver. However if you have Tesla insurance it can drive like crazy and still not lower the safety score since all it's infractions aren't counted.
I have learned over the years that there are different types of devs. Some are ok with cranking out features without regard for overall architecture and can handle the chaos of constant quick fixes over previous quick fixes. There are others (like me) who like well designed systems and get stressed when they are asked to just crank out features without regard for the overall system.

Personally I believe that my approach achieves higher velocity over time because the guys who just do quick bandaid fixes get bogged down over time with technical debt. But not everybody agrees.

I definitely think you need to know where you are on that spectrum and find an org that fits your style. Otherwise you are in for constant pain and unhappiness.
You’ve made so many bad assumptions I don’t know where to start.

Interesting; is that the same for banks / building security? That sounds like it disallows dash cams too?

edit: did some digging on dash-cams, seems like they're legal if they're recording on a loop, and save permanently with some user-interaction.

Security cameras must have signs, and not cover outside your property. Storage is (suggested? allowed?) for 24-48 hours. You can request footage of yourself from anyone (even private?), but they have 1 month to reply to a request - so seems practically pointless given the recording storage length.

what is hostile about Windows 11? I'd agree its not the best on non MSFT devices (McAfee anyone?) but on the Surface devices i've found it to run fairly well.
It's not as polished as MacOS, but given I mostly operate in the world of web browsers and Office 365, with a couple of Windows based desktop apps, it gets the job done rather well. Would expect major update of Windows 11 later this year, leading into Windows 12.

The assumption that this is done for the copper seems unwarranted. Isn't it more likely that this is just straightforward vandalism? Especially considering the amount of plainly malicious vandalism against Teslas reported in the article itself.
With the latest update it really started getting into “this is magic” territory. I tested on street roads and did very well. Didn’t get to try it on a highway though. And yet, it’s not worth $10k or $99 / month. I don’t drive for a living. If they made the subscription significantly cheaper, let’s say $50 or less, I think there would be a lot of uptake. But as it stands it’s just too expensive.

> Almost no US industry gets similar protections.

While that's true, few people realize just how many US industries are protected from competition by federal and state regulation and licensure requirements. These market distortions artificially inflate prices, reduce consumer choice, prevent innovation and stall new job creation (especially entry level jobs).

I suspect they knew (and to be fair, probably correct) that a decent number of small businesses (and maybe even larger ones) were using ESXi and they just decided to shut that down in a push to get more licenses.

If my theory is correct, in about two years (if they haven't killed it entirely by the) they'll introduce a "free for homelab use" variant - maybe.

But Workstation and Fusion were more used by personal people and as a support tool FOR professionals, so they needed to keep those going, but charging $79 for it just wasn't worth the hassle. Notice they're not even selling ANY licenses directly anymore; you have to go through someone else. VMWare sold directly.

How energy efficient could it theoretically be? Is it somewhat relatable to touchscreens, or are we talking thousands of times more power per pixel per second?
I don't think that's going to happen. Most of the robots will be owned (controlled) by civilians or private companies, which will lead to governments losing their monopoly on violence. There will be no more war. If someone is idiot enough to attack someone, there are billions of robots who will quickly destroy the idiot. Overwhelming majority of robots will be owned by those who collaborate to prevent war, and this is without cost, because the same robots will work in homes and factories otherwise.

Governments will have to face the question whether they want the productivity of robots, while losing their monopoly on violence. I think it's inevitable that robots will win, and governments with their police and military forces will become irrelevant. Some governments might try to fight this revolution, and some will accept it quicker.

Also, there's really no need for governments anyway when robots are there to serve humans. It doesn't make sense to collect taxes from robots and then pay other robots to work with those taxes.
Ants, of course, famously optimize. I think most creatures optimize somehow, I mean doing things wastefully is way to end up with an energy deficit, aka starve.

Humans have an interesting tendency to bump themselves out of local optima, via instincts called “boredom” and “curiosity.” These are not strictly human traits I think, but humans tend to get bored more often than other creatures, tend to accumulate large amount of resources which allow them to follow their curiosity a bit further, and are very good at communicating the results of this boredom.
Apple Says It Stopped $7B in Fraudulent Transactions in Last 4 Years
Workstation was already rotting for all intents and purposes. Likely Fusion was also rotting since the switch to ARM but never tried it.

The entire space ("desktop virtualization") is dead. Even VirtualBox which I praised a year ago seems to be slowing down.

This likely just poisons the well for a market they had all but abandoned.

It was fun to use while it was free, but not worth continuing. City driving was terrible and disconnected frequently. Highway driving is pretty nice, but not that much better than the adaptive cruise control that is free or the cruise control on my Subaru.
I agree with you that this is not unique to businesspeople, although I suspect it's probably disproportionately represented there - both because business is attracted to people pursuing self-interest ruthlessly and because it often presents excellent conditions for tilting people towards self-interest even if not naturally inclined to it. But I would also make a distinction between what a business does and what businesspeople are. It's not hard to build incentive structures that turn good people towards bad ends.

I tend to think, for example, that your average Boeing engineer probably wanted to do a good job and not have doors fall off their planes. But when you put multiple layers of abstraction in the way and have leaders looking through business metrics, it isn't hard for everyday crappiness to maneuver its way to the point where that isn't prioritized. Almost no one in the chain really thinks they're sacrificing safety, they think they're doing their job and improving efficiency by cutting redundant steps.

> In my experience people with a "just doing my job" attitude make much better bosses than those who act like they have a higher purpose.

Sure, because there's a difference between a performative "mission", a self-obsessed founder who makes their own success a story about the future of Earth, and someone who makes concretely difficult decisions when the chips are down.

This is kind of what I mean by the corruptive effects of growth. Having a mission is a good thing, but most companies' "missions" are implicitly always secondary to their financial growth, or worse, a cynical ploy for employee engagement. When people write crappy press releases about how "this will enable us to serve more of our users" (read: expand our market), that's not a statement about how serving users is bad, it's just that for most businesses it's necessarily with an asterisk of "we want to serve our users* *as long as it pleases our investors".
Fusion became basically worthless when you couldn't easily run Intel Windows on a Mac anymore because the underlying processor changed.
Or we could overcome this with a distributed system where the devices of individuals who have been to the store recently record data about the current location of products and upload it somewhere for the rest of the users to query if needed.
