That's true, but the market is surprisingly willing to put up with bad touch controls. Genshin Impact has made billions of dollars by being the closest thing to Zelda BOTW on mobile, but of course BOTW is a game you buy once and Genshin is a "free" casino. Even mobile first person shooters are wildly popular despite being miserable to play if you're used to other platforms. There is a willingness to play these games on a phone, but seemingly only if the cost of entry is zero dollars, even though that means there will be much worse monetization woven into the game.

I'm using google's artifact registry -- aside from upload speed another thing that kills me is freakin download speed ... Why in the world should it take 2 minutes to download a 2.6 GB layer to a cloud build instance sitting in the same region as the artifact registry ... Stupidly slow networking really harms the stateless ci machine + docker registry cache which actually would be quite cool if it was fast enough ...

In my case it's still faster than doing the builds would be -- but I'm definitely gonna have to get machines with persistent local cache in the mix at some point so that these operations will finish within a few seconds instead of a few minutes ...
I mean... I wouldn't have expected us to 'sign off' on many of the privacy-eroding shit we've been given, and yet...

In my experience, getting someone else's code from a paper to run is a PITA. In life science, the person who wrote the code is often not really that experienced in this kind of thing, and certainly didn't have ease of sharing and running in mind when they started the project.

I've long had in the back of my mind some kind of cloud-based platform for writing, running, storing, and sharing scientific code. It would be the standard, and journals would (in time) ask that analysis be done using it, or that reasons are provided as to why it could not be used.

Maybe one already exists?

There is more or at least as much scientific consensus about anthropogenic climate change than the ill effects of smoking.

Echoing this, the approach Vue takes is SO much simpler and yet it still manages to accomplish the same end results. With each new release React becomes increasingly reliant on wonky React-specific abstractions that feel more like a sunk-cost fallacy than actually meaningful solutions to building a reactive SPA.

I personally believe a lot of React developers are experiencing the framework equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome. I would encourage any React devs reading this to go look at the Vue composition API and then try to explain why all of these increasingly convoluted abstractions are necessary.
The risk of that debris falling from outer space and hitting a human is indeed incredibly small.

Paul Graham explained the software development mind set here:

https://paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html

There is a very significant cost to having a lot of meetings. At some point someone has to take the requirements and turn them into software that does something. And lots of interruptions destroys that process.

There are entire methodologies designed around these constraints. That is why "agile" methodologies introduced the Sprint concept, so there's enough time to focus on building something that the stake holders can interact with, and then give actionable feedback. Which doesn't really happen when you only discuss requirements in the abstract.

Painters need time to paint uninterrupted. Writers need time to shut the office door and type without distractions. And developers need quality, focused time spent with their text editor.

So developers are completely correct in their emphasis in keeping meetings to only those that are truly useful and required, and guarding their focus time. It is what best serves the customers and other stake holders.
If the news starts with "criminals stole..." and not with "poor security practices at XYZ resulted in..." then there's really no hope.

Rewatching Jurassic Park?
This is funny to me because I have been gentling a feral cat lately and have it in a "cat room" which has an Amcrest camera in it. He's on the threshold of feeling ready to go down to the floor when I am around so I'll see him walking around on the floor on the computer at the main house and then hear him climb up to his shelf when he hears my footsteps.

It's getting clear to me that he's got too little space to be happy and I heard his voice for the first time last night as something between a meow and a yowl which I think was him asking for a better life so I am doing everything I have to do to let him range over the rest of the house and wish I could get it done faster than I can. Video surveillance of the house though is really out of scope.
I’d love to see this placed into the context of the (actual) average Joe. If you consider that the average person dramatically overestimates their reasoning skills and can’t correctly do high school level math, I think it would help understand if we have reached AGI. It would also just provide some color to the state of things.
The popular theory on why they've survived the trip down even though that doesn't fit the modeling from NASA and SpaceX is that their terminal velocity is very low.
If I looked at what this does and none of the surrounding discussion/documentation, I'd say this is to simplify using secrets manager properly more-so than any security purpose.

To use secret manager "properly", in most cases you're gonna need to pull in the entire AWS SDK, maybe authenticate it, make your requests to secret manager, cache values for some sort of lifetime before refreshing, etc.

To use it "less properly", you can just inject the values in environment variables but then there's no way to pick up changes and rotating secrets becomes a _project_.

Or just spin this up and that's all handled. It's so simple you can even use it from your shell scripts.
Many things about that company were not idea - the founder left his CEO position in handcuffs. However, the policy was not communicated to new and future hires in any manner. So why would anyone stay?

The founder was very public with other companies in the area about both his policy of firing 10x developers and hiring any warm body that could put a resume in his hand. He told stories at local business meetings of the various people he hired who couldn't find a computer and were fired on the same day. So, when you found out what the corporate culture was like after about a month on the job, you had two options.

1. Stay on for a year. This cemented to every hiring manager that you were a 1x developer (because you kept the job), but absolutely not a 10x developer. You might get a junior developer position somewhere else, but never more than that.
2. Immediately quit the job. You now had a one month stint at the firm on your resume. Every hiring manager in town knew that 5% of people with a short stint were good developers and the remaining 95% were people who just finished "COBOL for Dummies". You'd best just leave the gap in your resume if you didn't want your resume in the trash.

If you're developing a game, there's a fairly big issue in that many things may be requesting values from, and thus incrementing, the PRNG, and many of them could be indirectly controlled by the user (where they are, where they're looking, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hs451PfFzQ is a fun video about reverse-engineering Zelda to predict the randomness in a minigame)

As far as the approach, I agree in that I don't understand why 'no code changes' is that important, especially in the context of Python which has a general attitude of consent towards monkeypatching code. Maybe one of the randomness sources was hashing all the source files? :P
> IIRC one of the initial animations had a landing second stage

Of Falcon 9?

Yes, they were aiming for that, and put significant engineering effort towards it before it was deemed too difficult, and instead to focus on Starship, which is a second stage design for re-use from the ground up.

(Same story for catching faring halves in a net on a ship.. they tried and tried, and ended up just making them a little tougher and letting them land in the ocean before fishing them out.

Indeed.

I was briefly tempted to create a globalised version of David MacKay's classic "Sustainable Energy - without the hot air" under the title "How to save the world and get rich trying", but (a) there's no point because all the business people already noticed, and (b) someone else thought of that name before I got around to it and used it for a series of videos.

Where are you getting this information?

The PReP/CHRP was a venture by Apple, IBM, and Motorola (but primarily IBM) to allow companies to build OSes for a common platform. Apple didn't want to participate in the end. But like other ports of NT to MIPS and Alpha (Alpha enjoyed much more support until Compaq dropped support), the popularity was well beneath the dirt cheap in comparison x86 platform.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_Reference_Platform

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Hardware_Reference_Plat...

This had nothing to do with Microsoft's monopoly. And nothing to do with exclusively 'desktop' PPC -- remember, NT4 Server also had PPC support through SP2. IBM's intention was for servers, not desktops (though they did produce compatible laptops/desktops), to support operating systems such as AIX and S[l]o[w|l]aris

AIX isn't exactly a desktop OS.

> I don’t have that experience. Nobody in my circle has ever been let go.

In the last 27 years, I've worked for more than 20 companies. Maybe 5 as a contractor that didn't go FT. Many startups, some name brands. I have been let go (or ongoing contract not renewed) ~6 times - hard to know with contracting when it's sometimes a factor of budgeting. Suffice to say, I have quit far more positions than removed by the actions of my employers. I have been at my current position ~7 years with 1 promotion. I fully expect that I will be let go out of the blue one day.

To prepare for this, I save aggressively. I do interviews with other companies from time to time for practice. Meta, Indeed, Nintendo, whatever. I work on the weekends from time to time, trying new technologies and picking at the low-hanging fruit that might make me more robust in the job market.

This is the state of the industry and will be for the foreseeable future. Losing a job involuntarily sucks. Interviewing sucks. Looking for jobs sucks. All that being said, it's still the best way to get a better job (whatever that means to you). I'm an old man and I'm at the peak of my ability. I do wonder when it will go upside down for me.
Benzos (and alcohol) withdrawal can both be deadly if not tapered. They are not to be fucked around with.
The systemic bug killers are fucking terrifying. They're not approved for human use, so there's some baseline concern. They're neurotoxins which are "specific" to bugs [0], but, all living things are remarkably similar and no drug is 100% specific to its target. Finally, it's formulated to persist in a body for a month, which means it's really hard to flush out an overdose!!!!!!

The product booklet in revolution / frontline rx is actually really comprehensive and worth a read here, it goes in to the pharmacology in detail.

[0] mostly glutamate gated chloride channel activators, and mammals don't have these receptors. but mammals do have glutamate gated cation channels (AMPAs/NMDAr) and the drugs bind activate them too, just only a little tiny bit... that adds up in an overdose. What you get from excitatory glutamate channel activation is seizures.

I think the major search engines guide us towards the dead parts of the Internet. It's unsurprising that Google (an ad agency) sends traffic to the ad-laden, dead parts of the web. Living parts of the web tend not to like ads (they are user hostile) while the dead parts are just trying to drive clicks.

But the web is still alive, see:

I'd put it this way: LLMs may reason in the sense that sampling from the distribution of human generated text sometimes reproduces chains of thought that are valid, but this kind of changed sampling is the only compelling model of how they might reason (in my opinion). There might be some kind of "reasoning" in the weights and activations but by construction this is a single pass, feed forward, process calculating outputs from inputs, so if there is reasoning there, it can only be a approximately a single step.

They were novel at first but kinda sickening after a while (they're rather unhealthy and unbalanced). I much prefer whole-foods based meals, usually traditional Indian or Asian stuff, or a good breakfast tofu & potatoes scramble. And even among mock meats, there are a lot more interesting flavors & textures than the boring patties*.

However, Beyond/Impossible/Daiya (fake cheese) have been a lifesaver in one particular situation: Giving me something to eat at places that omnivores like to frequent (brewpubs, food trucks, pizza joints, etc.). It's a huge upgrade compared to the pitiful "leaves with vinegar" that they would've had before. The fake meats & cheeses allows otherwise boring restaurants offer a filling veggie option with minimal change to their menu and staffing.

---------

* If anyone wants to try other artificial/fake vegan stuff, I really like Daring shredded chicken, Gardein fish steaks, Beyond spicy sausages, Sol Cuisine nuggets, Just Egg slices, Violife smoked provolone, and Morning Star corn dogs.

None of them are particularly healthy though, and they're all pretty expensive. Not recommended if you want to optimize for value or health.

> The unions in NYC protect the union. They care about little else.

That's their fiat. They're supposed to be like that.

I'm really hoping that unions are learning a bit of humility from the last few years. We'll see.

Japan (and Germany, I hear), has unions that are stakeholders (and, often board members) of corporations. They seem to work quite well, and are very powerful.
Exponentials mess with people's intuition. There is a finite number of things in the human body. There's also a finite number of interactions. Unfortunately, the number of interactions, while finite, are exponential, and we have no good way to figure out which are meaningful and test ways to control them without laborious trial and error.

I think this is where someone usually chimes in to say "actually, interactions grow geometrically, not exponentially." I'm not sure what it means, and it's probably right, but the intuitive concept of "exponentially" looks close enough to the mathematical concept and maps close enough to the reality to work. Or seems to.
From AWS pricing:

> Per 10,000 API calls

> $0.05 per 10,000 API calls.

So imagine you have some number of cron jobs which require a bunch of secrets and these things fire every minute or 30 seconds or what have you. You could save as much as $0.25 a month!
The article highlights that there is a yearly chance of human injury measured in a whole number percentage, that is currently rising. It even highlighted an incident in Fl where a piece of space junk hit the roof of a house and penetrated to the foundation.

The risk is real, measurable, measured, and rising.
Many civil claims have short statutes of limitation as well. It's not really that good for these companies to maintain regular business records going back to infinity that are subject to discovery in disputes that are not even related to anything the telecom company did. Complying with the discovery requests and subpoenas is expensive. The fetish for the somewhat imagined benefits of big data creates open-ended liabilities for these companies. But the pressure that law enforcement and the spy agencies put on the telecom companies to facilitate this has been an open secret for a long time now.

A lot of this is on the federal government and Congress for leaving an area in which it has power dormant and within its relatively exclusive control. Thanks for the conversation.

Thanks! Indeed, despite the fact that the main goal is to track ML experiments, the approach taken in `mandala` has a lot in common with e.g. time-travel debugging (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel_debugging).

In reality, there are many similarities between experiment tracking, debugging, and high-level computation graphs - they're all different ways of getting a handle on what a program did when it was ran.
> Or maybe, by then, none of it will really matter very much, because the past will itself have been automated. Instead of historians, we’ll have ‘history machines’ based on algorithms and databanks: more facts on file, designed by survivors of the final bureaucratic assault on what was once fondly called ‘the humanities’.

Honestly, I can't imagine that a machine like that won't devolve into a Ministry of Truth.
It's actually bugged me a lot with (HBO) Max's streaming service that so much WB content isn't available on the service... or pieces are missing in movie collections. My hope would be that more would congregate to the service over time now it's simply less. I want to support the ongoing shows that I like, but it's hard to justify in that the couple shows a year are all I watch on any given service.
I don't understand this logic. You're framing this like humanity as a whole is supposed to take the risk here. This is a private company throwing junk from space on people who didn't agree to anything.
