No, as the person who is responsible for this story becoming “a thing” and one of the people whose identities was misappropriated, I’m mad at both.

I’m mad at AOL/Verizon/Yahoo/Apollo Global/whoever the owner of the original domain was for selling the domain in this way. Especially since the the site and domain had been dead for almost 10 years (and the content on that site was archived, granted the images didn’t survive, on Engadget), which makes me question why they’d wait so long and do it this way.

But I’m genuinely and completely outraged that my name was used, however briefly, on new articles (as well as AI-summarized versions of old articles I didn’t even write the first time — tho my original words were rewritten with AI and had another byline slapped on them) on a website that used to exist, and is for better or worse, something that will always have an association with me.

The most disastrous damage has been resolved, thanks to bad publicity and a strongly-worded email I sent yesterday threatening legal action if my name wasn’t removed (and I would have contacted a lawyer to send a cease and desist if they hadn’t removed my name), but despite seeing zombie sites reappear, it genuinely never occurred to me that anyone would be brazen enough to try to reconstruct archives and new content and attribute it to the original staffers of a publication.

That whole safety thing probably increases the price a lot. Like crumple zones and airbags. Also what's the zero to sixty and quarter mile on a 1985 Mustang compared to a Honda Civic from today? Also how long did it last between oil changes, how many MPG did it get, how much routine maintenance did it need; etc, etc.

The 1985 Ford Mustang was an amazing feat of engineering - for its time. We're 40 years past that though, and cars are more expensive for a lot more reasons than just plastic. Nevermind the plastic, the metal used in today's cars didn't exist as little as 10 years ago, never mind 40.
Same here I’d pay 25$ one time but won’t touch a subscription service unless there’s an ongoing cost associated with its use.
I think for most it's not a security issue but a system maintainence one. Where does the script install what?
> An embedding isn't conceptually that much different from feeding a 1024-word description of an image instead of the actual image.

An embedding needs less words. You can embed individual words, phrases, like a whole prompt and longer paragraphs. You don't need 1024 words for a text embed. For example a famous library is called Sentence BERT (sbert).

When you embed images on the other hand, you cut them up into little squares on the tune of 32x32 px, and embeds one of them separately. chatGPT uses something like 250 tokens for smaller images. So a smaller image costs about as much as 200 words if represented graphically, and maybe much less words if you embed a text description of it.
Yea, really if you look at human learning/seeing/acting there is a feedback loop that LLM for example isn't able to complete and train on.

You see an object. First you have to learn how to control all your body functions to move toward it and grasp it. This teaches you about the 3 dimensional world and things like gravity. You may not know the terms, but it is baked in your learning model. After you get an object you start building a classification list "hot", "sharp", "soft and fuzzy", "tasty", "slick". Your learning model builds up a list of properties of objects and "expected" properties of objects.

Once you have this 'database' you create as a human, you can apply the logic to achieve tasks. "Walk 10 feet forward, but avoid the sharp glass just to the left". You have to have spatial awareness, object awareness, and prediction ability.

Models 'kind of' have this, but its seemingly haphazard, kind of like a child that doesn't know how to put all the pieces together yet. I think a lot of embodied robot testing where the embodied model feeds back training to the LLM/vision model will have to occur before this is even somewhat close to reliable.
I don't really like their editor, but their fonts (based on iosevka) is my 2nd favorite (after Mensch).

I agree.

I’m a management dope now and lost most of my coding mojo, but I can much more quickly conjure up small scripts or programs to do small tasks or demonstrate a point.

It seems like it's being done entirely on the publisher end, with them – or friends – benefiting:

> For example, a single researcher who was associated with Technoscience Academy benefited from more than 3,000 additional illegitimate citations. Some journals from the same publisher benefited from a couple hundred additional sneaked citations.

Perhaps this publisher or others also offer this as some kind of backroom deal / service.
I didn't even supply an anecdote; why would I need one? It's a self-evidently false claim.

"JWST isn't providing enough new for you?" he asks sarcastically.

I think the budgets required would make any of the things you describe as flagship missions. Taking years after launch before the mission can start is a hard sell. The couple of months for JWST to become operational seemed like it was killing some anxious/excited people in that wait. Nevermind the decades long wait from delays in getting it launched too. It could literally something where the designers/builders never see the results. So I guess we should have started 10 years ago?
Some qualifications are based on GitHub contributions. If those are tired to the same account you use for work, you're out of luck.

GitHub encouraging and enabling using the same account for work (-for-hire) and personal (or work, but owned by yourself) might've been great for growth, but it's a risk managment minefield.

This is not a helpful take for you. The same method works fine for me over the last decade. Taking notes helps, having some helper scripts helps. If one’s invested in a technology, one finds a way to remember.
I haven't tried Zed and am unlikely to, but I get 238 characters of fantasque sans mono 11pt on my 1200p screen, so I could give up those spaces and still have two vertical panes (assuming Zed supports vertical panes and the file-browser isn't duplicated).
You’re assuming I’m going to create a component out of any element on the page that needs styling. In my project I could just have a small handful of these scattered across hundreds of files:

<table class=“datatable”>

If I used tailwind utility classes, how do I update my data table styling without having to search and replace across all of my files? Assuming you could even search and replace, the utility classes could be in a different order. Not saying it’s not doable, but it seems like a real pain in the ass. What am I missing?

Liquidity Pools Can Beat Alternative Assets
Liquidity pools often get overlooked, lumped under speculative crypto investing. In reality, investing in liquidity pools is more like private credit, with crypto traders as the portfolio company. Unlike private credit, liquidity pool investing offers full transparency and avoids long lock-up periods.

Understanding these differences and learning more about these innovative investment vehicles could be the key to unlocking additional returns on your idle cash. Dive into our latest article to explore this further.

> Large companies vs. large teams is not the same.

sure, but isn’t this OP making a direct comparison?
Yup.

Even those of us who grew up lower middle class in America have a lot of the same problems as the OP. Just a bit too rich to qualify for any subsidies, nowhere near rich enough to afford stability or be able to pay for things like a college tuition.

AFAIK it's been like that from day one, heck it might be better because at least nowadays we attempt to help somebody, just nobody like me. Things are slowly changing, and that's a good thing. I'd like to see people like me getting a little more help - it's good for them, good for business, good for the economy...it's "wins" all the way around. I don't want to be one of those people who begrudge those people from getting help because I didn't get any.
> $2000 is the minimum amount

Need a source on that one. I am involved in this and new professionals do not even make that much. For "on-demand" fights (where the promoter gives you 0 notice ahead of time) you will make several hundred dollars, perhaps $1000 for a win at a large venue. Even UFC pays terrible until you're a main card, and even then, you're not making much. Most of the money is made by promotional deals due to the win. I wanted to correct you here as I agree both that they aren't paid enough, and it is often exploitative. The number of fighters making a living wage from UFC and UFC-adjacent combat sports is extremely low. Of the fighters I know, 0 of them live off that money. It's a hobby that pays a little but most of them either have a day job, or more likely, live out of a van so they can travel to the next venue+camp on a moments notice.

> Selling what is almost certain permanent bodily harm for pennies is exploitive and should be fixed,

UFC-style fighting and bareknuckle style fighting have the lowest incidents of brain injury of any combat sport. This is due largely to the lighter gloves and training that doesn't involve getting punched in the head all the time. The incidence is lower than many non-combat sports as well.

> I have seen one of these events, and it is certainly barbaric, but people love it.

It is one of the few true displays of human physicality and performance. It's not all about the violence. The guys in the cage are typically the absolute peak of human performance.

i did about 20 and in a couple of the "2 second" ones i had already clicked the person the lifeguard rescued 2 or 3 times before they fell off. My best time was -15s.

This would be a lot more interesting if there were videos where the lifeguard did not need to jump in, or where you had to pick within 4 or 5 seconds who you thought would need rescuing - the site didn't support this, per the "2 second" style ones i was clicking the obvious child repeatedly before the "game" decided to score it.

I would damn hope you can configure/disable this. But why is it the default?

And if the answer is "discoverability" then where is the default-on fuzzy find, default-on command palette, default-on context menu, etc?

My point was not to claim Zed was bad because I had the ignorant misapprehension that it was incapable of being cleaner, my point was to ask why people desire such a cluttered workspace by default? Most people I see using these editors _don't_ disable all this clutter.

However silly it is, I've always hated the aesthetics of VS Code. I know it's themeable but despite that the overall look and feel just isn't right on MacOS or Linux. That side bar drives me crazy.

I find that out-of-the-box Zed is much prettier and feels more native than VS Code. But for a tool that we spend hours using each day, how it looks and makes you feel really matters.

I am enjoying experimenting with Zed. I have kept my extensions and configuration to a minimum which is a refreshing change compared to the cluster that my VSCode installation has become.

Problem is the CUDA advantage is gigantic and it has been known for years in GPGPU processing, way before AI was a meme. AMD has lost countless developers over the year just on hello world style projects. Developers had a solid 6-7 years of living with OpenCL when the green rival had a very mature and nice CUDA sitting there. I’ve been out of that world for a while now, but it was truly painful and turned a lot of devs off programming AMD devices. Now there’s a big moat of entrenched developers that could take decades to displace. It’s like trying to displace C++ with Java 22 — possible, but it’s a slow, slow trudge and everyone still remembers Java 1.4

I think your comment is a good demonstration why this is still such an issue, despite the overwhelming evidence of gender based discrimination in tech, people are dismissing the experiences of the majority of women in tech. Can't really improve if people are still in denial about it.

I don't know what to do, you can't teach people empathy or not to be sexist. Given how weirdly conservative young people are nowadays I don't see it getting much better in the future either.
These events almost certainly cause long-term brain damage.

The type of brain damage that will make the participants more likely to commit acts of violence in the future due to impulse control issues (see the high incidence of prior concussion among violent offenders in prison, high incidence of domestic violence among people who've suffered head trauma previously, many known instances of people who became irritable, impulsive, violent after concussions/mtbi).

Even those who don't commit violent acts are likely to suffer depression, anxiety, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, etc.

Society at large bears the burden of the increased healthcare costs for these individuals later on in life. Every slap can be directly linked to future costs to medicare/hospitals, police/first-responders, judicial system, etc.
The way the brain does it is by giving users a largely untrained model that they themselves have to train over the next 20 years for it to be of any use.

Falcon 9's fuel is cooled slightly, if not cryogenic (RP-1 becomes denser when cold), and of course Starship uses cryogenic methane. And they both use liquid oxygen, although that's an oxidizer, not a fuel.
Apparently the reason is that it needs real people to do it.
