I hated receiving gifs when I was broke/poor with passion.

It basically works like this:

1. I receive a gift of 50$ usually spent very sub-optimally.

2. Now I have to spend ~50$ buying a gift in turn.

The end result: someone buying me gift for 50$ is equivalent to forcing a bad 50$ purchase upon me OR forcing me to feel bad and potentially be perceived as ungrateful/unreciprocating.
Imaging to do different was only one part of the lesson. The other, and bigger, part is acknowledging the difference between wanting to do the right (for not just me) thing versus that was sure to score points with authority.

When I think about Photoshop it is so tied in my mind to its history as an offshoot of ILM and the VFX industry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Early_history

ILM's famous t-rex scene from Jurassic Park contains very little text/dialog, but emotional, expressive, synthetic imagery:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc_i5TKdmhs

In this case the scene is not made up of "generative" images in the current definition of the term, but synthetic images generated from polygons, virtual lighting, etc. It seems that there could be artistic utility to manipulating text in a similar way.
I like your comment because it was logically consistent and there is actually an argument in there that I respect.

However, you appear to be saying that the 1100s (where people were, I note, substantially more equal than today in absolute terms) are comparable to 2000s. I disagree - I would be unfathomably depressed/angry/anxious if my living standards reverted to my social equivalent in the 1100s, conditions were basically inhumane. We should be aiming to get society as far from 1100s as possible, both temporally and in terms of absolute living standards.

I don't care if the wealthy are much better off than they were in 1100 if I get functional plumbing, air conditioning, reliable food, an electric car, Amazon and improved medical care out of the bargain. And I get much more than that [0]. Their wealth seems to be to my benefit. The wealthy got wealthy because my life got better along the way.

Do you have a diagnosis yet? Sounds like it's a hard to categorize condition, likely chronic? Chronic illness can be very difficult to diagnose (correctly), as it's tough to know which symptoms are closer to the root cause when there's so many symptoms. Do you think there's a root cause (or a couple) to your cluster of symptoms? Do you think there's some testing that can help you identify some of the root causes?

I'm sure you've done testing for your health, but it can often be very difficult to do thorough testing in Canada. In my experience, you reeally have to press your doctors to get thorough testing, beyond just cursory basic panels for e.g. liver, immunity, etc. I understand they're triaging and saving public resources, but it's not ideal for patients.Likewise, a lot of OHIP-covered tests aren't the most up-to-date, which causes an industry for naturopathic tests to try and fill the gaps, but you obviously have to be careful which of those tests are actually good or not (but still there's some good non-OHIP covered tests you can do too).

idk, obviously I don't know too much about your health, but if I were in your shoes, and in a sense I can relate (going through my own health journey, but aren't we all?), I would be doing as much testing as possible to try and identify root causes and get those fixed. I expect that is what you are doing, but I know how hard it can be to navigate the health system and actually get proper testing.

In regards to your point on variant meaning vaccine resistant, that's a good point. Vaccines (the current iteration) necessarily have to try and predict the strains they're targeting, because the viruses evolve so quickly. But there's specificity and more generalized types of immunity in the body. We've got lots of immune systems and they're tuned in different ways. You can probably get more in-depth testing to see how these specific, relatively independent immune systems are functioning in your body if you want to try and figure out how at-risk you are for covid or long-covid. Again, I'm sure you are doing significant testing as obviously you care a lot for your health, but I would encourage you to press your primary care doctor to do more in-depth testing, and also consider some of the naturopathic tests (ignore their solutions, just use their lab tests), because they can also provide valuable insight into root causes.
> No, people are able to drive long after they can bike.

Like hell they are.

> The only thing that basically stops you from being able to drive is your vision, which will impact biking as well.

Looking at some studies, vision is not a major factor in accidents caused by the elderly. The reasons are mainly mental: reduced reaction speed, reduced ability to quickly grasp complex situations in traffic. Physical reasons are mostly around reduced motor functions: reduced muscle strength and fine motor skills.

Biking is impacted a lot less by these cognitive changes since you don’t go 130 km/h on a bike. Elderly are more likely to get hurt in a cycling accident, as they are more frail, but they are less likely to cause an accident.

> Handicap and elderly people are not edge cases.

Are you saying the majority of people are either elderly or handicapped ?

> We adapt our society to fit the disabled everywhere, as we should.

And we do. There are many options for both the elderly and disabled people to cycle, as I have shown in my earlier posts. None of those are exceptional, I regularly encounter those ‘in the wild’.

> Bikes do not work for many, many people and situations. It's not an edge case problem, it's a fundamental problem.

Cars do not work for many, many people and situations. Lots of places are simply not reachable by car. What do you think is easier for an elderly person: driving their bike right up to a store and walking 5 meters or driving their car to the edge of the city center and then having to walk a kilometer or more to get to the store they need to go to?
> Why do I suspect the offence will always be ahead of the defence in these areas?

because destroying is easier than creating/entropy increases over time?

The only solution I can see is working on turning bad actors into good actors, or another way: positive reinforcement cycles.

No idea what that would look like with regard to LLMs though.

I think you've already been living in that world for a while now. I'm having trouble finding it right now, but has anyone seen those lists of what books students were reading in the late 19th, early 20th century? Not that long ago students were reading classics like Dickens or Tolkien. These days that's well beyond the literacy of the average US middle/high school student.

> If a company creates a better, or cheaper, or otherwise superior product and garners more sales than it's competitors is it "grabbing from others"?

How do they make the better or cheaper product? Did they do it by, perhaps, exploiting the people or resources of another, poorer country? Or skirting safety regulations? If so, I would say they are "grabbing from others", yes. And they are motivating other companies to follow along to keep up.

I had only one job so far where code quality was a primary objective it was fantastic, but it was also extremely slow and expensive. Slower and more expensive even than what you're probably thinking right now. I was shocked.
> But what about when we're told 'This coffee is not hot'? Does that mean we think it's cold?

I think it depends on your training and how you've studied to interpret statements with logical operators such as these.

If I interpret "not" as "anything but", and if the possibility space of "anything" includes more than one state (temperature, in the article's example), then "not hot" should be taken to mean "any temperature but hot".
This isn't at all a wasm post. But. There's a lot of people griping bitterly that wasi preview2 is way off the mark & not doing what they particularly want or desire, but nothing remotely in any way like this is possible in wasm unless we actually have Webassmebly Interface Types to define what structures & interfaces there are.

I think the lesson of what computing is, what is possible, is largely denied by the expression of so many people wanting such narrower scope for themselves, and this is a reminder of a vaguely outside the domain of corporate dominion computing needs that most people simply don't think about remotely.

But this kind of how we compose computing is the duct tape question that defines how useful computing in the broad is. It's a pity such minor small self-interested perspectives govern and dominate so many of our conservations. Would that we be able to think about computing more broadly, think about broader ecosystems of possibility.
I don’t think I mind it in explicitly artistic contexts so much, putting aside the fact that all the GPTs I have seen write in a banal, unimaginative, equivocating way that is exactly the opposite of what you want from creative dialogue.

I can see narrow uses for it in that sort of way.

But it’s being marketed as a tool for businesses to use to talk lazy crap at people who would prefer to hear from humans: it’s fundamentally a disrespectful thing in that context.
Do you think high school students are qualified to decide for themselves whether they'll need math later in life? I never imagined having the kind of career I ended up with. I always thought I'd work as a writer. I ended up as a software engineer.
I learned this lesson when working on very fast paced projects with way fewer developer resources than needed. to ship a feature on time, shortcuts in quality have to be made, but you learn to make the shortcuts in a way that are easier to go back and clean up later.

I became very fond of #TODO ‘s.
Saw an article on Hungary that gave numbers that indicated paying families to have more children was working.

Then I went their last summer and saw more baby strollers walking around Budapest than I'd ever seen in my life. My experiences may be anecdotal but I was in a number of other European cities on that trip and didn't see the same large amount of strollers.
So as neither an EE nor an ME (nor a qualified SE!) I've been in charge of some fairly complex mechatronic systems development for the last near-decade. IMHO the whole harness thing seems to be on the way out, excepting very specific situations where every last bit of weight really matters. Why? First, cost. Not having point to point means you aren't an off the shelf item, which means costs 10x immediately. Second, communications friction. While numerous providers can create arbitrarily complex harnesses as a commercial service, they generally disagree on everything from the manner by which cable qualities are specified to the sequence by which a termination should be made to what a length means with respect to a radius, etc. especially when crossing national boundaries. Third, complexity. Shared buses are harder to manage from a project evolution standpoint, and make it much harder to isolate and debug misbehaving nodes. Now I can see why all of this is worth it on a spacecraft, where weight matters, or in a car, where volume is assumed, custom connections are probably needed owing to a high vibration environment and every communicating component is probably either relatively well tested (auto grade transceivers) or relatively simplistic (window or door controller) or both, but for the rest of us where a smaller volume is assumed it seems to me harnesses are falling out of favor. Their chief benefit is weight reduction and nominal material cost reduction but the accrued costs in real terms outweigh these savings for the majority of projects, IMHO. Does this echo your own experience?

There are some places online where I have to timebox and force myself to stop consuming information. Otherwise I end up mentally draining myself. YouTube is one of those places and it does a really good job with the video recommendations. I wouldn't even call the content low quality or inaccurate. There's just too much that gets me interested.
I talk to my manager everyday anyway, so a dedicated meeting to “catch up” isn’t really necessary. If there was a goal and we need to set up a check in meeting for that specific goal, that would make sense.
This is great! Thank you for doing this. I was just expecting a bitmap, not a whole TTF.
In practice, there are innumerable paths one can take through a complicated graph, and it is not reasonable or possible to test them all.

The cure is, like you say, writing a proper resolver. This form of permissions error most frequently happens when there is not a dedicated resolver (graphql-ruby, for example, makes it trivial to make a connection without a dedicated resolver).

I don't think this is as easy of a mistake to make with a typical REST application. In no normal universe would you return orders data in a reviews API, and the mistake would be much more obvious during development since you don't have to explicitly select the data you fetch from a rest API (so you are more likely to notice the extra information).

Whereas during development in graphql, the permissions error would be hidden because you probably would not select extra data for no reason.
If you listened to his response it was very much centered on his communication whether he intended it that way or not.

I guess I should have elaborated more about the ICs. With experienced employees they should know how to provide feedback to a larger group, but you don't necessarily have that with junior or intermediate ICs who don't always have the confidence to say anything if you didn't provide them with a space to provide feedback or just have a complaining session.

It can also be just the possibility that feedback could be taken as personally attacking someone in a group setting. How does someone differentiate between general feedback and passive aggressive feedback singling them out? For someone that may not "fit in" with the group they are part of it is a real concern they have to consider. I can think of many examples where this is the case where the suitable action is to either give or receive feedback in a more private environment.
If you stick to cross-platform standard APIs (POSIX, X11, Java, web/Firefox, etc.) you are probably OK.

The constant API churn is for native macOS apps that use the GUI.
I think your anecdotal experience with homeschooling is skewing your perspective about how bad public schools are on average.

Why wouldn’t you be kind to yourself, love others, forgive yourself, forgive others and create joy for you and your loved ones wherever, whenever possible? Your heartbreak, disappointment, and grief will be the receipts for the joy and the agency you forge. Heartbreak, disappointment, grief, joy … I wish for you all of these things.

Absolutely. The only place I get videos from is from my home page. I use an extension (Unhook) to remove the side recommendations and end cards, otherwise I'd never be able to finish.

I go through some home page videos, close each tab after the video is done, and then only load more of the home page if I truly want to watch more videos. No getting sucked into endless rabbitholes by accident.
"Timelapse video" is the usual term for such videos.

I've met some people like this before, and I think this phenomenon has a lot to do with having one's identity closely bound to the code. Any criticism of the code is interpreted as a personal attack. Conversely, the attitude of "I'm so awesome therefore my code must be super important and really important to protect".
The Internet did this to me for a lot of things -- when I was an island, I used to think I was really good at a lot of things: Table tennis, Tetris, some other video games. And relative to my friends and sometimes even the people a few circles away from them, I was!

And then, The Internet. And I discovered that I am absolutely NOT good at table tennis. I am not even CLOSE to good at Tetris. And I am TERRIBLE at every video game.

Oh well -- so much for competition! Time to enjoy ;)

> Supposing that it is worth it though, why not migrate to rust? I have a friend starting a startup / consultancy to do just that, and it makes more sense than using circle. Even carbon says "if you can use rust, use rust not carbon"

A key selling point for Circle is the “superset of C++” aspect. What you’re proposing—while feasible for startups—is entirely unreasonable for larger companies, especially those with existing [usually massive] C++ codebases. With enough evangelizing, you might get them to agree to start using something like Rust in new, smaller, and internal projects. However, suggesting a rewrite of anything mission-critical that can directly impact the bottom line to an entirely different language, ecosystem, behaviors, guarantees, community, etc. is one of the most scary proposals you can make to a company. Are the existing engineers proficient in this new language? How long will it take to ramp up? Are there any new costs (not just financial) to adopting this new language (hint: there always are)? Are there legal concerns? How long will the rewrite take (hint: likely longer than the engineers think)? The list goes on. It’s simply too risky a proposition.

Or they may make a cheaper product by applying novel techniques like an assembly line. Or deploy heretofore unused (or under-used) technologies like electric cars. In the the case of SpaceX the big win was the more efficient gas generator cycle in the Merlin rocket engine.

If the allegation is that people made money but skirting regulations or otherwise illegal things, then it's crucial to explain the nefarious practices at play. Not just asserting that someone who is wealth must have acquired that wealth through underhanded means, simply on the basis of being wealthy.

> the brain treats information as a reward in itself; it doesn't matter whether the info is accurate or useful, the brain will still crave it and feel satisfied after consuming it

This doesn't jive with me, what kind of information different people are attracted to is very different. I'd argue that the difference comes from the brain trying to classify what information is useful and then rewarding you for engaging with that useful information.

So for example, at least for me TikTok isn't useful and thus doesn't engage me at all, its just irritating to try to get into it. But for many other people their brains obviously identifies TikTok differently than mine, likely seeing it as useful so rewards them for it.

So the problem is information that most people misclassify as useful even when it isn't. It is like sweeteners, they don't give you calories but your taste buds still rewards you as if you did get a lot of calories. I'd say that isn't an obesity crisis though, people sit and eat those artificial sweetener information all day and thus starve out on real useful information since they don't get any of it.
