I have good relationships with seafood and food distributors though have never thought battery powered cooling packing made sense here. What exactly am I missing? Even in vaccines this is a solved problem with fewer points of failure if you just add telemetry.
I just added a ticket to my Google Wallet for a concert last night and it was very similar to the Ticketmaster/LiveNation app. The PDF417 barcode changed and had an animation around it. My guess is that it is the same or very similar on Apple devices.
It connects to some third party services to do LLM, STT, TTS.

Buying and using a scalped ticket isn't a crime for the concert-goer, using a fake ID (in most states) is meaning it puts significantly more pressure the consumer to not buy. Also, most people in the US over the age of 21 don't have fake ID's, so it's a reasonable detriment.
There needs to be some way of sharing diagrams, but hopefully not as screenshots? Maybe more like a higher-level SVG, where there is text and you can look at it, but it’s not the preferred way of viewing it. It would need to be easy to embed these diagrams in other documents, which suggests a standard format and viewers readily available, for browsers and editors at least.

Support for embedding such things in another language (Like we do with SQL and regular expressions) would be important, too.

That might be a place to start. Can we replace regular expressions with a visual language? What would it take to have “railroad diagrams” widely available in at least one programming language and many editors?

Twitter/X is an advertising company. They exist to sell content created by others to advertisers. Of course 80% of the company should be dedicated to doing the thing that brings in revenue. The technical side isn't terribly interesting or important by comparison.

Elon, before he bought Twitter, thought of himself as the customer. He talked about all the things he would do to make his own experience better. But he was never the customer, he was the product. He fired everyone involved in making Twitter work for its real customers and revenue has suffered for it.

You can always change the source of truth so instead of being the JSON texts it's the properly normalized schema and then you can have a VIEW that returns JSON for apps that need JSON. And if need be you can denormalize a bit and have a JSONB column that stores the document as the serialization of the rows' other columns.

That's what's really nice about SQL: you can perform these sorts of schema surgeries and still retain backwards-compatibility using VIEWs.

I’m saying that its all a ruse

Boards want the media to focus on the CEO because they are literally there to shield the board from accountability while “taking the brunt” of the bad PR - and also being a show piece for the company in good times

So, the real answer IMO is to change the law to implicate board members and investors directly as though they are officers equivalent with the CEO is setting corporate direction and incentives

Of course they have intentionally made the law such that any actions taken by the corporation, limit the liability of the board legally, while not taking the power away from the board to drive the direction and priorities and incentives of the corporation

The whole thing is an accountability shell game - Wherein a CEO is the whipping boy for whatever the board needs them to be the whipping boy for - and there’s a balance and ownership

The simplest way to put it is that the CEO is there to ensure that everything, the company does benefits investors primarily.

Until it is legally the case that corporate leadership must prioritize the benefits to labor above investors, nothing functionally is going to change.
The fact signalling is independent of a thing's merits is part of the reason it's such a thought-terminating cliché.

If someone asks why so many young dancers learn ballet, I can say "signalling" and consider the question answered without having to engage with the availability of instruction, tradition, structure and organisation, how ballet differs from other forms of dance, or really engage in any detailed exploration of the subject at all.

A prophylactic is an advance intervention that prevents or mitigates the severity of disease. Vaccines in general, and all COVID vaccines, are prophylactics. Vaccines could be cures as well, but COVID vaccines are not.

Sufficient distribution of prophylactics for infectious disease can achieve eradication which, while distinct from a cure, is as good or better, but COVID vaccines haven't done that.
While not as recent, the Germanic "ship" / "Schiff" / etc. has no cognate in any other Indo-European language and no obvious origin in PIE, so it is conjectured it might be derived from a pre-IE indigenous European language.

I don’t think the founding fathers much less the ancient greek democrats anticipated the level of idiocy in the public discourse we are dealing with today. A huge swath of the country has been manipulated by propaganda to the point of not believing in reality at all. It’s a dangerous position we find ourselves in today.
There's a difference between a bullshit job and a job that's 95% bullshit (which is a whole heck of a lot of jobs). For example, my company pays a highly skilled individual a six figure salary to do one thing that takes him five minutes once a week. Could this task be automated? Probably, but it would require a project (which means human resources, a budget, and compliance-related activities).

Such a project would take at a minimum six months, three of which would just be setting up the project and codifying in writing precisely what needs to be done and how the automation needs to work. Then there would be two months figuring out who was going to create it and who was going to be responsible for maintaining it in production (which by policy must not be the same people that designed/created the automation!).

Also, there's a limited number of project managers and skilled people to get things like this done so even if the company wanted to do it, it just won't happen for a long time unless such an automation gets a big upgrade in priority. Besides, some manager gets to say they have one more employee working under them and that's super important for a manager's career! (when interviewing at another company the first question they always ask is, "how many people did you have working under you?")

So that guy basically has a stable job forever as long as that task he does needs to happen. When he's not doing that task the company gives him endless busywork to perform from mandatory corporate training (which changes constantly) to 72-page security surveys to endless meetings where he really isn't needed but he's there "just in case" something comes up that needs his expertise.

Is that guy's job a "bullshit job"?
Seems really cool. Will be interesting to see as people build more of these and evolve them to use smaller and self-hosted models.
Looks interesting. One word of advice - the CTA "talk to a founder" makes me stop and think. I wondered to myself "why would I want to talk to a founder?" You don't want the user doing that, it should be obvious.

I'm pretty sure that button is for a demo, so you want to phrase it in terms of the value to the user, i.e. "schedule a demo" or some variant thereof.

Big plus-one to this:

> That being said, giving access to the DOM, even mediated/simulated, is almost certainly not what you really want. Figure out what you _actually_ want to allow the other side to do, and then just give them a capability that lets them do it. (For example, to let them add a button somewhere, you might think you need to give them an anchor point (parent element) where they can insert it and let them use `document.createElement` to make the DOM node that they're going to put there. But you don't actually want that—for them to have access to `document.createElement`, etc. What you want is for them to have an add-button capability. So give them that—go implement `addButton`.)

For a plugin model, I’d suggest providing a high-level UI library to add panels & actions rendered by first-party UI components in specific areas which communicate with plugin JS running in quickjs. Many plugins that integrate with the 3rd-party’s own service will also want an iframe for embedding 3rd-party content, so you can provide that as well since iframe is sandboxed and the use-case makes sense. But scripting/plugin code shouldn’t be reading or writing to the DOM, it should be making requests and responding to request from the host application APIs synchronously in-process.

That’s the way I think about it anyways.
While I understand the spirit of what you're saying it does the woman a disservice to talk about it as being only spilling a cup of hot coffee. She was severely burned and required substantial medical treatment:

"""
Liebeck went into shock and was taken to an emergency room at a hospital. She suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent.[14][13] She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. During this period, Liebeck lost 20 pounds (9.1 kg), nearly 20 percent of her body weight, reducing her to 83 pounds (38 kg). After the hospital stay, Liebeck needed care for three weeks, which was provided by her daughter.[15] Liebeck suffered permanent disfigurement after the incident and was partially disabled for two years.[16][17]

In my experience most technical interviews were done on whiteboards. Therefore, the best way for me to practice leetcode was to write out the solutions by hand, just like you would in an interview. It forces you to think ahead about the problem.

My strategy was to do 2-3 problems per day on pen and paper, and spend a maximum of 1 hour on each problem. Then, after that hour, check to make sure I got the optimal solution, and if I didn't, then also copy that optimal solution down onto the paper, so it gets burned into my brain.

This strategy, applied over a long timeframe, was extremely successful for me.
A leader does not necessarily define the problem to solve. That is the job of an owner. Leaders coordinate people, and objectives are decided by owners. The same person might do both jobs, but they are distinct functions. They are very frequently different people, where a leader is assigned a job and a team with which to do it.

The role of a leader is to be a force multiplier on the rest of the team, regardless of who decides the objective.

It is often the case in contract work that the project owner is the client, and the leader is the head of the contracting team. The leader depends on the project owner to provide clear objectives, so that they may use them to effectively direct their team in accomplishing them. However, it applies within organizations as well, where the owner of a project may be on the business side, whereas the team leader is on the infrastructure side.
Very cool! I hope this will work out well and that we’ll see more companies like this launching.

Lyft's pre-book is even worse. They do assign you a driver when you pre-book, but then you're beholden on that driver to still be driving when your booking time arrives.

I pre-booked a ride to get to the airport at 4AM, figuring prebooking is the best way to make sure I had availability. Driver accepted it at 9PM, was not awake at 4AM. The Lyft app made me call support to cancel the pre-book and get an on demand ride. I couldn't cancel even though my driver wasn't active.
Also in the "corporations as people" x "criminal justice system" vein, I would be in favor of moving towards a standard where, if a person convicted of the same crime would receive a prison sentence, a company should be forced to cease operations for an equivalent period, and put all its assets into frozen fund which can only be used to pay out debts/obligations, and which earns no interest.

Just looking at your skies and seeing an 'issue' doesn't tell you anything besides the fact that yes something had fun with that edge.

Questions which are completly unanswered: How long does a sharp edge actually stay as it is? If it looks like this after 5 minutes, it doesn't matter.

It also doesn't say if it was snow, ice or stones/ground killing that edge.

What is wrong with "python -m http.server"?
Professionally licensed engineers are required to take an oath to protect the public. What many don't realize is that manufacturers like Boeing operate under a licensing exemption, on the assumption that business and manufacturing processes are sufficient to protect the public. In cases like this, there is a case that is insufficient.

There has been a movement in some states to remove the manufacturing exemption, in which case the cognizant engineer would bear the responsibility. The optimistic view is that this will help balance the power between the engineer and the C-suite. The cynical view is that this will allow the C-suite to push responsibility down to the engineer.

Do you seriously think what I'm saying is "a CEO doesn't change anything about a corporation" !?
> “We don’t know how we do it, so we can’t say this isn’t how we do it” isn’t a valid argument

Yes it is, assuming we don't know of any specific things that "this" literally can't do but that we can. Which we currently don't, we merely have suspicions.

> We may not know exactly how we reason, but we can rule out probabilistic guessing.

No we can't.

> even if that is a part of it, we’re capable of far more sophisticated models.

Yes, but that would be a difference of degree not of kind. This is what scaling proponents have been saying, eg. that scaling does not appear to have a limit.

> We can also make intuitive leaps that aren’t quite built on probability.

I don't think we have evidence of that. "Intuitive leap" could just be a link generated from sampling some random variable.
I think people seem to have a very romantic notion that there is some meeting where all the engineers get together and decide whether or not they are going to kill their users or not.
Thanks for sharing that perspective. It's a bit of a check-your-privilege moment for me.

What information I have from my travels and conversations has lead me to believe that the global market has been more of an exploitative force than an uplifting one, but I'm perhaps a bit too young to have a basis for comparison. I wasn't really aware of these things at a time when I could have a "before" snapshot. I just see the cracks in the "after" one.
ELI5: It's cheaper/easier to dump chemicals in a battery and have them form the structure, than to carefully build and install the structure into the battery.

Even if they did, they would be the largest target for hackers or corporate espionage. I would find it hard to believe, that they would get any sort of good return on this before it was all over the internet, or at least in the hands of several competitors.
Fair enough. But I think that former executives should also be looked at, too. Otherwise, the incentive becomes to trash the company for short term profits and GTFO before shit hits the fan.
I mean it's also completely worthless as a concept outside of being a thought-terminating cliche. Unless the user is stating they have psychic abilities and can ascertain with certainty someone is signaling of course, but that's not particularly likely. Outside of that, it's a completely non-falsifiable accusation that derails an argument into "you're just saying what you think you should say, not what you actually think" which is, again, completely unknowable with any certainty and also is completely irrelevant to whether the thing in question is good to be saying or not.

Whether you actually believe, for example, a subjugated group in society should have all the rights and freedoms of it's majority, or simply believe saying that will net you social capital, doesn't change whether they do or not, and also doesn't change that such a message is probably, on balance, good to have repeatedly broadcast even if the speaker doesn't believe it with their heart and soul.
The solution doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be good. Good enough is good enough.
Some thoughts (from a very biased fan of the original article and book):

> If you own a copy, consider reading it an act of meta-anthropology, exploring why a professional anthropologist could be so relentlessly, aggressively incurious about the lives and experiences of others.

Graeber solicited testimonies from people who felt that they have a bullshit job.

> public transportation workers can, indeed, shut some cities down if they decide not to work. But this is not a characteristic of the job, but of how employment is structured: if all the workers are declining to show up at once, the term is a "strike," and their employer can't just swap them for someone else. There are plenty of people who would do these jobs, at their current pay, if that were an option, so the ability to paralyze a city like this is a function of unions, not of the job itself

Unions are intended to protect workers. If their jobs are required to keep the city running, the city (and society at large) should do what's necessary to keep these employees happy. This has nothing to do with the "structure of employment" and everything to do with corporate greed.

> In a sense, the book is a work of pathological optimism about the capitalist system. Graeber estimates that roughly half of all work fits his fake job categorization, which implies that the economy's productive capacity is roughly twice the output we actually get. It would be a pretty big deal if this were true: we could have a lot more leisure, and a lot more stuff.

I'd argue that I'd be able to produce 50% more value in my own role if my employer gave me 50% of my time back. But instead it's spent on politics, baby-sitting and duck tape. It's not their fault (nor my own) but rather a consequence of the system we're in. And I see no issue with having someone actively critiquing it.
Juries can be manipulated. Allowing this to go to public trial risks the danger of Boeing getting off lighter or not facing punishment at all.

> Not to be a jerk but "LLMs are just like humans when humans don't think" is perhaps not the take you intended to have.

No that's exactly the take I have and have always had. The LLM text axis is the LLM's axis of time. So it's actually even stupider: LLMs are just like humans who are trained not to think.

> No, but seriously. If you've done any kind of math beyond basic arithmetic, you have in fact applied strict logical rules.

To solve the problem, I apply the rules, plus error. LLMs can do that.

To find the rules, I apply creativity and exploratory cycles. LLMs can do that as well, but worse.
