I don't think so. I live in a low-wage country in Europe (Spain) and I moved here because quality of life is so much better. Holland is overcrowded, overregulated, people are very materialistic and don't enjoy life as much. And on top of it they now have an extreme-right government I want nothing to do with.

Here in Spain healthcare is still worry-free and included in my taxes. People live life at a slower pace and enjoy it more. I don't need a car because public transport is much better than it was even in Amsterdam. 20 bucks a month covers all my travel needs. I make probably half of what I'd make in Holland but these things are so much more important. Besides, cost of living is so much cheaper here too. Just seeing prices in the supermarket in Holland makes me roll my eyes.

Not everyone puts money above everything and especially that's what I see in other EU expats too. We just want enough to live well. It's mainly the US expats here that are always chasing the extra few percent, job-hopping etc. They always have that drive to be #1. Nice for them but it's a bit exhausting too. Way too much so for me. Most of my US friends have moved to the better paying EU countries as a result.

I'm also very progressive/LGBTQ+-friendly and I would never ever even consider visiting Saudi Arabia for work. I would literally refuse. Let alone consider living there. Even if I could make 10x my wage lol. Same with Dubai. No chance. What would I do there all day? Sit in my fancy apartment watching international TV?

We have a couple of blog posts digging into gpui, but here is one from just after rewriting and shipping gpui2: https://zed.dev/blog/gpui-ownership

We’ve slowly been building out gpui to be super ergonomic and fluid for us to build the kind of UI we need to.

As a designer that just picked up Rust last February it’s been really nice to have something that is so comfortable to work with without compromising our performance goals.
Archegos Founder Bill Hwang Found Guilty on 10 Charges
I hate this shit.

yaml -> pip install pyyaml
cv2 -> pip install opencv-contrib-python
PIL -> pip install pillow (wtf, this should be a misdemeanor punishable by being forced to used windows for a year)

And can we please ban "py" and "python" from appearing inside the name of python packages?

Or else I'm going to start writing some python packages with ".js" in their name.
The SS7 protocol that transmits caller id info was developed when there was only one phone company in the United States. There was zero consideration to security. Nobody needed to consider what happens if a bad actor is added to the SS7 network, because the only connections were between national phone networks.
Well if you're interested, the Elements of Programming Style, to me, was interesting for two reasons. It presents plenty of timeless insights about programming, but it's also very interesting as a historical document; it argues against old-fashioned GOTO-based programming in favour of structured programming, and for-loops executing 0 times, for example.

It has a list of rules of thumb at the end, which contains my favourite part of the book. Pretty much all of them are timeless, but right in the middle is "Avoid the FORTRAN arithmetic if."

The one big thing I disagree with it on is the weird idea that you should never have 2 IFs in a row.
This says to me that there are huge opportunities for improvement in providing vision modules for LLMs. Human minds aren't made of just one kind of thing: we have all sorts of hacky modular capabilities – there's no reason to think that a future AGI wouldn't also.

I don't like Reading Mode in general because it feels like I lose too much context - like it's too easy to forget what site I'm even on.
The bigger question is whether there actually is a "victim". Imagine governments started a lottery, where a random selection of women were forced to work in STEM regardless of their preferences. That'd solve the gender disparity overnight! But is that a good thing for women?

The reality is that most people want men and women both to be able to freely choose their profession. The underlying debate is whether the disparity is due to choices or some sort of discrimination. Many people - including some in this comment section [1] - insist that anything other than parity is proof of some sort of discrimination.

Good article, gives a enjoyably written dressing down of the NYT's culture of elitism.

> Give me an opinion, damn it! Now! Or I drop you!

I mean that's the core of it, right? You're looking for an opinionated review in a place where the writers are tasked with being objective, what you called "8th grade summary" style. I understand the desire and would prefer it myself, but a shift to opinionated reviews changes the game. The tastes of the reviewer are now front and center and whether or not you find the review valuable is dependent on how similar they are to your own. It's hard to build a long-lasting brand when the tone becomes intertwined with the individual.

> The dawn of the internet did not bring about a democratization of book reviews for the better—let us look again at Goodreads as an example of what can happen and then, quickly, look away. We still need critics to review publications that bring in intellectual and other histories while making judgments about books but without fetishizing books or authors.

In many ways I thoroughly enjoyed this section. It's truly a blessing to watch an author undermine their entire argument so completely all at once. In a way I suppose it's a compliment, Mr. Nair is so talented at arguing for a position that in a moment of distraction took a wrong turn into the contra and simply kept moving forward without skipping a beat. To build up such a strong foundation and then knock it down like a sandcastle is, if nothing else, entertaining. You're there on the eve of battle inspired to charge in and destroy the ivory tower and evils that precipitated it only to find out the plan is to build a new one, but paint it eggshell this time. And it's not as if eggshell isn't an improvement, ivory is after all stilted and antiquated but-- perhaps we could make the new thing not quite as tall?

I like using zed when I'm on the MacBook. It's quite fast, looks good and has some neat features like multi file editing.

But I don't get the utility of all the collaboration features. It's noise to me, and feels like they could have invested that energy in other areas.

I work in a small fully remote team, and our tool of choice for collaboration is git. Why would I want to edit the same file while someone else is editing it too? Who will commit it? If I want to discuss a part of the code with someone screen sharing works perfectly. There's no need to bring in simultaneous editing.

It's such a technically hard feature to develop but just doesn't seem to have any utility for me.
> Surely any decision that creates a new precedent will inherently be a rug pull?

Unless the "new precedent" is arbitrary random daily policy common in despotic regimes like Russia. i.e. one has no clue what will happen when they step outside everyday.

In general, legal consensus is supposed to evolve from _many_ trials with civilians deciding on what legislated policy is appropriate to enforce for its residents.

Giving 40 years of people that sat through jury duty in 8000 trials a troll... is not what justice, accountability, and due process is supposed to look like.

It is not my opinion that matters... but I do like popcorn nom nom nom =3
>Those companies have money to make ‘nice’ things which open source software doesn’t have the time to do.

I would posit it's a lack of will rather than time.
IIRC reading some Intel CPU design history some of their designers are from a CS/software background. But I agree. Software is naturally very sequential which is different than digital hardware which is naturally/inherently parallel. A clock can change the state of a million flip-flops all at once, it's a very different way of thinking about computation (though ofcourse at the theoretical level all the same) and then there's the physics and EE parts of a real world CPU. Writing software and designing CPUs are just very different disciplines and the CPU as it appears to the software developer isn't how it appears to the CPU designer.

It's really more about totalitarianism, regardless of flavor. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

I also didn't mention the less "artsy" academic disciplines that might get you in trouble with the Party: mathematics, physics, astronomy, economics, biology, sociology, psychology... These can be seen as possible heresy and/or profligate navel-gazing that weakens the Glorious Nation. But it depends on the ideology and how useful the Party thinks your discipline is (for example, if expertise in your field is required to build nukes or launch rockets...)

I also worked at Google, and this kind of telemetry collection doesn't seem surprising to me at all. I don't know if you are / were familiar with the huge pile of metrics the UIs collect in general (via Analytics). I never worked on anything that was cpu-intense enough to justify this kind of back-channel, but I don't doubt we'd have asked for it if we thought we needed it... And you'd rather have this as an internal Google-to-Google monitor than punch a big security hole open for any arbitrary domain to query.

JS is easier to debug (even with Google's infrastructure), and they have no need of everyone else's videoconference telemetry (which when this was added, would have been, iirc, Flash-based).

I believe the things they learned via this closed loop let Google learn things that informed the WebRTC standard, hence my contention it got us there faster. Unless I've missed something, this API was collecting data since 2008. WebRTC was 3 years later.

I think you've misunderstood my question regarding "What would the alternative be?" I meant what would the alternative be to collecting stats data via a private API only on Google domains when we didn't have a standard for performance collection in browsers? We certainly don't want Google railroading one into the public (with all the security concerns that would entail). And I guess I'm just flat out not surprised that they would have dropped one into their browser to simplify debugging a very performance intensive service that hadn't been supported in the browser outside plugins before. Is your contention that they should have gone the flash route and done a binary as a plug-in, then put telemetry in the binary? Google had (And mostly still has) a very web-centric approach; doing it as a binary wouldn't be in their DNA.

I would not pick the US either. High crime, high healthcare cost, low social security. People carrying guns everywhere. No way. Of course I know there are huge regional differences but I don't know of any city (it would have to be a city for me) that I'd be comfortable with.

In fact I've declined to visit even when I've had the opportunity to do a business trip though there wasn't much pressure on it. I could just go or leave it, no strings attached and I was happy to leave it. I'm very socialist, atheist and progressive, it just isn't my kinda place.

In fact I often get recruiters pushing me relocation offers though I clearly state in my profile that I only want to work in my city or 100% remote. Even if it's an amazing career opportunity I don't care. I get one a week or so that still tries, comes with working in AI for a major enterprise I guess. They're all scrambling for people now.

I wouldn't want to be in that kind of role anyway where the goal is to "Do something with AI QUICK that makes investors happy, we don't care what it is!!!". I don't play that game.

Lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System are absolutely about manufacturing. It's rooted in industrial engineering and operations research. It is about addressing root causes and truly solving issues. What we see in the lean books is a bunch of solutions to problems Toyota was facing at the time and how they solved them.

Even the person who coined "lean manufacturing" says, "Don't try to bring lean manufacturing upstream to product development. The application of Lean in product development and manufacturing are different. Some aspects may look similar, but they are not! Be weary of an expert with experience in lean manufacturing that claims to know product development."[1]

There are a couple of books that have tried to capture the design process from Toyota. [1] is the Wikipedia page for [2]. [3] is an alternative take. Unfortunately I haven't read these books, so can't provide anything beyond the table of contents.

> But it is as human-oriented as other science fields that are typically considered as more people-oriented and these fields attract a bigger proportion of women.

Bigger, sure, but not by much. STEM (presumably what you mean by "science fields") are bigger in aggregate ~25% women. Some of these are smaller (~10% of electrical engineers are men). Some are bigger, biology IIRC is about 50/50. Computer science is about 20% women. This is actually pretty close to the average of "science fields" as a whole.

I agree that developers aren't special. But neither is the gender disparity among software developers. People so often forget that gender imbalances >20% is actually the norm not the exception. If you dig through the Bureau of Labor statistics, most jobs have significant gender disparities. Dog groomer have as stark a gender disparity as developers. So do driving instructors, and insurance adjusters. There's actually nothing unusual about the level of gender disparity in STEM.
That’s a mini PC. Not even remotely comparable. Why are you even posting this? No display. No battery. It’s a raspberry pi lmao.

We will have to fix the judiciary as well, as they can just undo anything the legislative or executive does through judicial review and activist interpretation. There are no repercussions for doing so, as there are lifetime appointments.
I'm also confused about some of the figures' captions, which don't seem to match the results:

- "Only Sonnet-3.5 can count the squares in a majority of the images", but Sonnet-3, Gemini-1.5 and Sonnet-3.5 all have accuracy of >50%

- "Sonnet-3.5 tends to conservatively answer "No" regardless of the actual distance between the two circles.", but it somehow gets 91% accuracy? That doesn't sound like it tends to answer "No" regardless of distance.

As far as I am concerned, the only (almost) valid point they made is this one:

> When you have an internally-maintained piece of code, it does not benefit from the incoming bugfixes that an external dependency might enjoy.

But, even this one is not always good. Your internal code might not have the bugs that would affect your program, might be less efficient due to doing things that are not relevant to your program, and you might be able to fix the bug more easily in your own program than you would with an external dependency, especially if they do not fix it in time. There is also vulnerabilities, and other stuff. Furthermore, the external dependencies might make the program larger than it should be. There are many good reasons to avoid external dependencies.
>One can explore wild new ideas and actions whole still in pursuit of one fixed way of evaluating what is valuable.

It was this way with Leibniz and Spinoza, that everything fell under a One, an infinitely analyzable substance that, at the very limit, at the very edge, which only the intellect of God could understand, was the perfect synthesis and the completion of the entire universe. Its for that reason that I don't call myself a Hegelian, but at least I believe in something that Hegel saw in Kant: that the power of the infinite is not for some God in heaven infinitely distant from mankind, and we are just the poor image, his murky reflection. The end of the Phenomenology of Spirit is called "Absolute Knowing," and what is the truth of absolute knowledge? There it is, God became Man, and from "Out of the chalice of this realm of spirits / Foams forth to him his infinity." God is dead, and from that sovereign truth reigns the absolute knowledge that, in every action determined with full conscious intent, the infinite is grasped, the infinite power to determine world history!

Values? The horizon, the constellation of value, is like a net that ensnares that seed of power. One must be strong enough to break through value itself, to achieve the revaluation of all values. To take flight into the other side of infinity.

Seems cold to disclose something like that in writing when it’s inevitably going to be leaked externally.

Now anyone hiring from that cohort is going to know a decent number were terminated for performance reasons, and even those who were lost jobs from regular restructuring will be caught up in it.

SYCL also doesn't meet the listed requirement of 'Intel and AMD teaming up'. Intel seems to be the only hardware vendor to actually care about SYCL, and AMD is instead backing HIP which is 'standardized' but boils down to 'just take cuda and run :s/cu/hip/g'.

If AMD were to work on SYCL tooling and, say, build a 'syclcc' next to 'hipcc' that ingested SYCL to run it on ROCm, I feel like interest in SYCL could potentially grow, since Intel is supporting it properly already and it would be actually a cross-vendor standard.

Codeplay (which is part of Intel) does provide 'plugins' to run oneAPI (SYCL) on NVIDIA and AMD hardware, which is great but is still being made, indirectly, by Intel, who in the end want to sell Intel hardware.
