It's incredibly frustrating to hear such blanket statements about .top domains! I have a .top domain specifically to teach my son about DNS, certificates, Active Directory, and more. Just because some misuse the TLD doesn't mean all of us do. Is it really so shady and illegitimate to educate kids for free? Should we all just fork out $500 for a "legitimate" .new domain instead? Ridiculous! Why not go further and disallow all self-hosters, putting them in jail alongside pirates like Kim Dotcom or Assange?
How do we know this? That seems difficult to observe from a couple of light years away.
But they've sold millions so that sort of squashes that argument.

(I'm with you though. It boggles my mind.)
The UI is hilariously bad. I’m playing a NY Times podcast and say “Alexa, pause.” Two minutes later, I say “Alexa, play” and it starts playing some random news clip from ABC News.

Awesome! I someday hope to find the time to make something like this for soccer - individual skill drills as well as gameplay analysis.

> Why would a hs2 user be connecting on from Euston? Or indeed from St Pancras (other than maybe Kent and Europe)

With the exception of Paddington (where presumably most services will stop at OOC), it's going to be easier to connect to any of the other London terminals from Euston than from Old Oak Common. Liverpool St about the same. Waterloo, Victoria, London Bridge direct tube from Euston vs two from OOC. Kings Cross / St Pancras walkable from Euston vs two changes.

East/West connections in the UK are often pretty dire, so often the fastest way to get anywhere in the South East from the North West will be to travel via London. Flexible off peak returns are often only £1 more than an off peak single so after I moved abroad, when visiting family and friends around England I would usually find returns from London the cheapest somewhat flexible option to visit everyone.

> But walking with a suitcase from Euston to KGSP isn’t exactly easy anyway.

I've done this and found that 10 minute walk on the flat much easier than taking a suitcase up three lifts to Liverpool Street mainline station from the Crossrail platform...

> Only benefits to Euston are easy to get to the Victoria and northern lines. Whether that outweighs crossrail is a septye wuruain, maybe for north-south journeys, but probably not for “to London”.

When I lived in Manchester I used to take the train down to London quite often. Being able to change at Old Oak Common to Crossrail would probably have made about 1/3rd of my trips easier (great for going west, Heathrow or Canary Wharf), but would have made more than half more difficult (most of central, north or south London, South East England outside of London), with the remainder much the same (the City, possibly Clapham.)

So I definitely don't think being able to change to Crossrail at OOC would be useless, just less useful than changing at Euston.
I think what authors aimed for is perhaps a proof-of-concept work where they attempt to demonstrate that you can (to a degree) automate interpretability. Mech interpretability is challenging because it does not scale well at the moment, and there is a debate about whether localized structural discoveries on toy examples actually translate to patterns in large networks. My guess if you could build an automatic explainer system this would allow you to flag problems and find issues faster, basically as some sort of meta-heuristic for further investigation

Unfortunately, that title hypes it up, and as always, once you read the paper, the results are less impressive, but that is what the state of AI research is currently, speaking as a researcher myself.

It’s all about electrochemical potential. Adding or removing electrons from the outer shell of an atom involves a fair amount of energy, either being released or stored. Depending on the atom, they either want their shell filled or emptied. Noble gases have the same number of protons as a filled shell, so they are very stable. Why electron shells exist is a whole other matter.

Water is kind of like ash. Technically full combustion of any hydrocarbon outputs CO2 and Water. Since water isn’t a greenhouse gas it’s not mentioned when discussing combustion usually.
Ring don’t require multiplication to commute, only addition. (Square) matrices make just fine rings despite noncommutativity. But the semiring of types does have commutative multiplication (only a semiring, or "rig", because the lack of additive inverses).

Those two structs are equivalent (isomorphic) in the algebraic sense – names don’t matter, and order (indices are just a kind of names) doesn’t either. (a, b) = a x b = b x a = (b, a).
Oh man, we have a certain email template at work, and the marketing team wanted to redesign that email; for some reason (broken communication, things out of the blue by company who bought ours, blabla), the designer thinks it's appropriate to just give us a Figma link that has no connection with the existing template or even any HTML. As a backend dev, I have no idea what to do with it. For an email, I'd expect something that someone actually made the HTML and sent the email to test it, like with hardcoded values that I could replace with variables, logic, etc, but I can't even understand how they think the Figma design was appropriate. They might as well have sent me a watercolor painting. I got them to export HTML, but it was completely useless since it's placing everything at specific pixel positions. I have no idea how to replicate the design in the email template. Anyway, I don't blame Figma or anything, just ugh, venting...
Thanks for writing that. It may be that Alexa made the right decision to pass (time will tell, you're right the valuation itself isn't the best barometer) but the point of my post was simply that the Alexa leadership team felt very arrogant and disrespectful regardless of whether they made the right decision. They acted like we needed them, whereas in my opinion time has shown it was more the opposite.

I can't speak for all startups, but at my company we treat even the tiniest startups with respect, and even if we can't work together we wouldn't approach that decision the way Alexa did.

Anyway, as I mentioned in another comment, the past is the past. The Alexa leadership team is being shaken up and I wish them the best going forward. Just sharing my experience here because it's relevant to the thread.
In any case, you can make a bunch of different official sizes.

Acknowledge that it’s a distributed system and build accordingly. The distributed systems literature understands failure modes, including Byzantine failure. Old airline systems were built to work with simple protocols and limited communication. A ticket was an independently verifiable object. Reservations were on a printed list. Check-in and gate agents did not need to make a phone call for each passenger. This was expensive, but it worked.

One can do the same thing with computers. Build small systems that operate independently, with strictly defined inputs and outputs. Make them un-brickable. Distribute software on read-only media, or outright replace the CPU for each update. You roll back by having the staff unplug the new thing and plug in the old thing.

A high-spec CM4 is $90. A small USB stick costs basically nothing. A bespoke CM4-like machine with only ROM could be made in volume for relatively little money. Most of the problem with an approach like this is that the industry doesn’t think this way.

Maybe a big buyer should step up, e.g. a major military. Non-CrowdStrike-able tech for, say, the US military seems like it would be extremely valuable.
Take the time to go through all the options in the Settings app. There are lots of options, and doing so is cumbersome and time-consuming, but it's worthwhile for configuring the phone options to match your preferences. I've found the sections Notifications, General, Control Center, Accessibility, and Privacy & Security most influential for my preferences.

Long pressing on app icons from the Home Screen will often give access to a few handy shortcuts. For example, with the Messages app one option allows you to go directly to the New Message screen.

Be mindful of how Apple benefits users who have multiple devices and take advantage as you see fit. Others have mentioned Continuity, the Notes app is good and syncs between iOS and macOS, the Reminders app will also sync across platforms, etc.

Don't count on Siri for much. Rudimentary tasks are typically reliable, but not much else: setting timers; basic math, saying, "Call Judy," tell Bob I'm leaving now (for a text/iMessage), basic language translations.

Selecting text provides a pop-up menu that can be scrolled right to left and has some helpful options (like getting a word defined and a few other things).

When the next major iOS release comes out in a couple months, Apple sites like MacRumors and 9to5Mac can be helpful resources for tips on the new OS.

I worked at Amazon when Fresh was rolling out in Seattle. A coworker thought he was ordering 10 bananas but when his order arrived he received 10 bunches of bananas.

Generously, he brought them in to share along with the story. I’m sure they made a lot of banana bread the following week.
Search engine exclusivity is an insane idea and I think it will kill search engines if MS or whoever starts making deals with other big sites to block Google crawling. Imagine ads saying "Bing the Wall Street Journal today!" because it's exclusively on Bing, or only being able to access tech blogs in DuckDuckGo.

No matter what sort of static validation they attempt, they're still risking other unanticipated effects. They could stumble upon a bug in the OS or some driver, they could cause false positives, they could trigger logspew or other excessive resource usage.

Failure can happen in strange ways. When in a position as sensitive as deploying software to far-flung machines in arbitrary environments, they need to be paranoid about those failure modes. Excuses aren't enough.
Yeah Chase sucks for chargebacks.

My wife passed away and made a recurring membership-type charge using my credit card. The merchant won't let me cancel without a court order, which is difficult because the estate is closed. Chase told me to go fuck off until they re-bill me, but won't prevent that from happening, and resolved my dispute in the merchants favor.

I ended up using public shaming to get the desired outcome.

> Hey @AnthropicAI: I get you're hungry for data. Claude is really smart! But do you really need to hit our servers a million times in 24 hours?
You're not only taking our content without paying, you're tying up our devops resources. Not cool.

Assuming they're literally getting hit "a million times in 24 hours", wouldn't it still cost bandwidth? Also, perhaps iFixit doesn't have such traffic in their past so they didn't bother optimzing prematurely.

I feel the blame mostly falls on Anthropic not being considerate when they scrape other people's content.
While strawberry can be attributed to tokenization here are some other basic stuff I’ve seen language models fail at:

I think it's the other way around. Kirkland takes the "B quality stock" and sells it under it's own label. This is why they have an essentially no questions asked return policy. If the quality dips it eats into this margin and the provider is back to making next to nothing on units that fail to pass their own more stringent brand QA checks.
Key takeaways for me:

1) Never store secrets in any repo ever! As soon as you discover that its happened, rotate the key/credential/secret asap!!

2) Enterprises that rely on forking so that devs can colab are fucked! Protecting IP by way of private repos is now essentially broken on GH!

3) what the actual fuck github!!??
Thanks! Sounds a bit like the election of the German king in the Holy Roman Empire by the Great Electors. (It was customary for the king to semi-automatically become emperor.)
Tailwind is by far the easiest approach in my experience. You can always use custom CSS additionally if you have to, but it's rarely needed.
Every modern file system works like this too. Then there’s copy-on-write snapshotting and SSD wear leveling to worry about. Data isn’t actually destroyed until the space is reused to store something else at an indeterminate point in the future.

Or when its encryption key is overwritten.

But it probably is a good idea to stop returning deleted data from web APIs.

The content validator is a form of validation done in CI. Their CD pipeline is the bigger problem here: it was extremely reckless given the system it was used in (configuring millions of customer machines in unknown environments). A CD pipeline for a tiny startup's email service can just deploy straight away. Crowdstrike (as they finally realized) need a CD pipeline with much more rigorous validation.
For people management, The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier is fantastic. That said, managing an offshore team (that also sounds junior) is going to create many headaches in addition to those you'll normally face as a first-time manager. Good luck!
Good question. Seems to suffer from same fate. Spot checking 2 years of order history across 2 common personal care products shows at least a 30% variation in price
AMEX uses perks like this to give you and ROI to get your spouse's approval for pay for the card.

Reality is that you want a couple of benefits, maybe airport lounge or late checkouts. That's not worth the Platinum card fee -- but if you are saving $25/month with Uber, getting your free Four Seasons breakfast, Hilton Diamond, Marriott Platinum, etc, suddenly you're making money by paying $1000 for a charge card. For me, I pay for a Hilton and Delta card. I basically end up with a completely $0 3-5 day getaway annually, with a value that is well above the baseline 2% cash back.

Other brands charge lower fees, but make you use captive portals for travel. Sometimes that hurts your earnings with the hotel and airline programs, which is meaningful to some folks. Personally, I find value in having airline and hotel "status" for preferred boarding and little perks.

If you are a minor noble, you might send your younger sons to serve in the church. But if you have the resources of a king, you are more likely to find your extra sons some minor fiefdom to rule.

(Of course, some still went to the church occasionally.)

But Android 13+ supports rootless pKVM VMs, which podman-machine should be able to run containers in; (but only APK-installed binaries are blessed with the necessary extended filesystem attributes to exec on Android 4.4+ with SELinux in enforcing mode.)

It's faster to keep a minimal container hosting VM updated.

So, podman-machine for Android in Termux might help solve for development UX on Android (and e.g. Android Studio on Android).

You're describing the main reason for owning one. This has nothing to do with why we collectively allow them to exist.

What is Toybox?
One day I was searching live videos of a local band from youtube and when sorting by upload date the oldest video was from 2010. I knew for a fact there had to be older videos so I got a youtube API key and searched via the API, ended up finding multiple videos starting from 2006. Learned that youtube is full of videos that are basically impossible to find with the regular search.

I'm nearly 60 years old. I used emacs in school and I still use it every day today. Along with the unix shells and utility commands, I can't think of any other software I've consistenty used for all those years. They really did it right with that stuff.

Back in those days, csh was more popular as an interactive shell. sh was used more for scripting. At least that's what I recall. bash didn't exist yet.

this is why when I'm building confirm UI, I prefer the term "destroy?" on the confirm action. It's much clearer to the user that this is a destructive and irreversible action and we will be removing this data/state.

*obviously doesn't apply to soft deletes.
So the moment something is published on the Internet publicly, there's a chance it will be saved and you will not be able to get it deleted.

That, unfortunately, sounds like the result of publishing something on the Internet. Not GitHubs fault.

I think the issue is that people started adding “pixel perfect” fidelity to mocks.

also anecdotal but having worked with UX people at a tech unicorn I think most of them are not that useful, and also don’t know that much. It got to a point where we (we built most of the foundational pieces of the business) just elected not to rely on our UX teams’ input too much.

I feel like it’s an essential job that most do really badly and in turn makes me think of the whole profession as a meme.

The best UX designer I worked with was a hybrid of a PM and SWE. He was amazing to work with. The dozen or so others I’ve worked with knew more about “dressing and looking like a designer” than actually designing.

The algebra of types is a semiring, which is a generalization of a ring that drops the requirement of an additive inverse, just as a ring is a generalization of a field that doesn’t require a multiplicative inverse. Semirings are pretty common in math – hell, natural numbers form (only) a semiring, having neither type of inverse! Can’t get more fundamental than that. And of course the connection between naturals (counting numbers) and types is evident from the fact that we started this whole exercise by counting inhabitants and defining equivalent based on that!
