I really like "To-do" and am so glad it's integrated into Outlook's Mac client now. I wish there was a way to show all tasks, regardless of their list/categorization.

As it stands, this really stops me from using separate lists for timebound tasks. I only use them for long-term planning/blue sky stuff.

Norway is frequently mentioned by US leftists as a country we should emulate. Not even 5.5 million people, fewer than the single US state of Massachusetts, with the overwhelming majority white natives. The EU also has very strict requirements for residency, including language and skill requirements, while the US takes in foreigners without any education, skills, or money to support themselves. It's not even remotely close, and by pretending it is, shows you know literally zero about immigration.
I'm going to sound like a quack, but... I had long Covid for years. It was horrible. I said f it and started trying internet 'folk' remedies. Simply taking melatonin at night had me so much better in a month. I have mountain biked every day for the last two weeks it is awesome (other than my zero leg strength). Before that I didn't really even leave the house for 3 years. And I can think and write code at the level I used to again now that the brain fog is lifted. I think there were trials on this and they determined it didn't work but it's crazy a little bottle from the grocery store (USA here so it's over the counter) changed my life.
I am similar, having built and run many high-performance, remote-friendly teams, several of which have built hundreds of millions+ in value, maybe a few billion because it continues to compound over time.

Schmidt is entitled to his opinion, though it's been a long time since he's been personally involved in personally getting things done. He's also been hanging out with his friend Elon and absorbing that narrative into his brain.

Also, it's difficult to comment what WFH looks like "on average". In my career I've learned the brutal reality of what "average" really means and looks like. Spoiler alert: Average human behavior is often surprisingly lr even shockingly lower than I anticipated.

Yet, Google, and the Bay Area and other tech hubs are full of at least slightly to moderately above average people, due to the natural competition to even survive and be successful in these areas.

TL;DR: Don't take it personally, there are exceptions to every rule.

Cheers and keep doing your thing.
You're replacing one interpreted language for another.

Yes, Python is among the slower interpreted languages out there, but still. The debate between fast execution and programmer productivity is not a new one. Given Python's popularity, I'd say it's settled.
Haha, of course the original comment doesn't distinguish... that was the whole reason for pointing it out. It was done specifically to separate the two sets of actors for comparison.

It "being designed to shut down criticism" is a wildly subjective take at best and at worst way more spurious than anything they or I am suggesting. I think your bias is showing and you are doing everything in your power to avoid addressing the point that "he was a commercial opportunist, not a real activist or whistleblower."
I think this is a fair question, but I would be a bit concerned if the implication here is positive masculinity includes sexual assault. I'm sure that's not what you're saying though.
> what’s here doesn’t come close to covering what we did in the first year alone

This varies widely by University. The Git repo matches my experience pretty well except I also had Calc II and Discrete Mathematics.

> a course on logic programming, another on functional programming

This was already in the Git repo when I looked. I think the "Programming Languages" from University of Washington Courses cover that. Specifically "Programming Languages, Part C"... though it doesn't mention Common Lisp or Scheme and uses a lot of Ruby, which is an odd choice (IMHO).

Overcorrection (and reaction) from the past when women were considered inferior beings and basically property.

It wasn't that long ago. Just one example: women were not allowed to open bank accounts in some places in the US until 1974:

https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/when-could-women-open...

One of my rules for understanding human society is that "everything always overcorrects." We tend to overcorrect one way, then overcorrect the other way, and so on. It's a bit like if you have a spring under tension and let go of it. It does not snap back to the center. It oscillates for a while.
I agree, it seems like experience varies. I fixate quite thoroughly on things for decent stretches. ADHD is a slight misnomer because I don't have an attention deficit, I have selective intense attention. It appears as a deficit because I can't control the focus and if I'm not working on what someone watching me thinks I should they think "that guy can't focus!" In reality, I'm exceptionally focused on something else and without my medication, the odds of me redirecting that focus are almost zero.

If it weren't for the need to occasionally comply for work etc, "ADHD" would be pretty neat and fun. Being mercurial and intense can be isolating, though.

I get interested, I seek out the most direct and as far as I'm able to gauge, best information related to the task I'd like to complete and I consume as much as I can about it until it's done or I'm bored. Or something else takes the intensity. I can juggle 2-3 intense interests at a time, this helps keep them going longer as I'll shift from one to the other if I hit a wall.

>That's attestation. It isn't DRM.

True, but only if the validation code is vulnerable to an unpatchable vulnerability discovered in Apple M1, M2 and M3 chips. Otherwise your hardware, drivers, and or software likely still needs approved by Apple.

"> Why don't Homebrew, Mac Ports, and Nix, count here? Practically, I mean."

Generally, most users will never touch CLI, and the ones that do often know how to deal with nag-ware in the OS.

"This just isn't true though, "

Right, you try to publish some kernel level driver that touches the hardware signatures. These modern machines will usually brick into a lock-screen on most platforms now. Thus, no one will be developing 3rd party hardware/drivers/Software/Firmware inside that box. You must pay Apple to play... even to replace many broken components.

"> The checks involved in the attestation process are quite minimal and focus on whether your program is malware"

Or running something Apple doesn't want, like another store ecosystem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple ).

Arguably, modern Win11 and MacOS are already technically Malware collecting user telemetry, content, and metadata... in my opinion they arrive broken out of the box. Perhaps you are arguing some corporation is ethically superior to regular thieves. =3
I'm impressed. How does it do that?
I'd love to see this type of development incorporated into all fields. A lot of times I don't even bother to try and understand graphs and such published with scientific articles because they are indecipherable. It's not even particularly hard to accomodate for CVD if it's considered from the beginning or if you develop a basic style guideline and follow it.
The “intangibles” you reference have a name. It’s called vertical integration.

Boeing used to own an oil company, engine manufacturer, airline, and airplane manufacturing. The US government broke them up because nobody can compete with that vertical integration.

This is a common issue addressed by strong anti-trust regulations.

If Google (or any online business) is prevented from owning a web browser then the browsers compete on merit. Consumers choose what is actually good for them.

Google has no incentive to make a good browser for consumers. They only have incentive to make one that is good enough for consumers to behave in Google’s interest. And if nobody can compete then that bar is low. Consumers don’t know what they are missing. Nobody does because we haven’t had a competitive browser market in close to three decades.

And Apple's success arguably isn't just a result of suddenly starting to execute well. It also took Microsoft giving them a golden opportunity by executing rather impressively poorly for a good long while. 1998 - 2009 was a tough time to be a Windows user.

I switched from PC to Mac for home use in about 2003. I liked OS X from day 1 (I worked the help desk at my college when it was released, so I had to learn it fairly deeply), but that alone probably wouldn't have been enough to entice me to make the switch, especially in light of how big the Apple tax was back then. I had also spent several years living with Windows Me and Windows XP, and I was probably switching away from them as much as I was switching toward a Mac.
You forgot firing the iraq administration and the iraqy army. Im still convinced the whole thing was a plan to get a shia and sunni war going in the middle east. In that regard it was a monstrous great success.
I agree that a rudimentary evolutionary algorithm probably wouldn't work since they often don't take into account multimodality. There are global stochastic algorithms that take into account this sort of multi modality. Most particle swarm framworks could handle this sort of bipartite nature with a more complicated fitness function. Differential Evolution frameworks in R also allow you to do a post operation on each candidate, which include something like rejecting it because it does not seem to lie in one of the two modes.

The steel-man argument is that men have historically dominated society and decreasing their influence is a leveling process. That is to say, when one group is dominant and another submissive, lowering the influence of the first and increasing it of the second is progress toward an equal position.

It does seem like the wave has crested on this movement for now. Most intelligent people who aren't blatantly partisan are starting to express distaste toward it, and it's becoming less of a "shunned" position to push back on it.

interesting that's the first time I've noticed it.
Type-driven development has been a big win for me as well, specifically when writing web front ends. Whether its client side rendering (sometimes a necessary evil) or on the server with a tool like Astro, I try really hard to start by defining types and UI components totally separately.

I'll actually build out the full data flow and UI components in complete isolation, leaving the glue code for the final step. Its kind of a weird pattern from what I've seen, I have gotten some interesting code reviews over the years, but it really is nice focusing on one concern at a time. At the end its also fun watching a bit of glue code wire up the entire app.
Just because someone loves chocolate ice cream and says “I like chocolate ice cream” that doesn’t mean they hate vanilla ice cream and feel superior to the vanilla ice cream eaters. It just means they like chocolate. That is all the information you have been given and the only logical conclusion you can draw.

In normal conversation, it’s generally not necessary to acknowledge all the ice creams you like and don’t like just because you mentioned how much you love chocolate. I think it would probably be a pretty normal response that if someone demanded that you do that, that you would be irritated at the absurdity of the demand and respond accordingly.

But hey, if I misread that you were being intentionally obtuse, I’m sorry.

For money markets, it's typically vanguard. Other brokers that are not bad for sweep include IBKR, Fidelity, Schwab, etc. But vanguard will always have higher interest on cash.

Marcus is FDIC insured savings though, which has slightly different implications. There's websites that compare current highest savings rates (nerdwallet, bankrate, whatever).

Going in the other direction, there are things like SGOV or Treasury-only money markets, if you live in a state that has higher income tax. Since the treasuries are exempt from state income tax.

Going even farther than that direction, there's muni bonds, funds, or money markets. At which point you're probably back to Vanguard for the best rates. (But again, not the same exact characteristics as a savings account)

The unexpected emotional cost of being an indiehacker
The author fails to provide any argument other than one of incredulity and some bad reasoning with bad faith examples.

The dollar bill copying example is a faulty metaphor. His claim of humans not being information processors and he tries to demonstrate this by having a human process information (drawing from reference is processing an image and giving an output)...

His argument sounds like one from 'it's always sunny'. As if metaphors never improve or get more accurate over time, and that this latest metaphor isn't the most accurate metaphor we have. It is. When we have something better: we'll all start talking about the brain in that frame of reference.

This is an idiot that can write in a way that masks some deep bigotries (in favor of the mythical 'human spirit').

I do not take this person seriously. I'm glossing over all casual incorrectness of his statements - a good number of them just aren't true. the ones I just scrolled to statements like... 'the brain keeps functioning or we disappear' or 'This might sound complicated, but it is actually incredibly simple, and completely free of computations, representations and algorithms' in the description of the 'linear optical trajectory' ALGORTHIM (a set of simple steps to follow - in this case - visual pattern matching).

Where is the sense in what I just read?
(tangential) In theory I like TS. But in practice, unless I'm the one writing it and can KISS, it can quickly turn into an unmaintainable nightmare that nobody understands. TS astronauts, left unchecked, can make extremely complex types using generics, conditionals, and all the esoteric features of TS, resulting in extremely obtuse code.

For example, I doubt anyone could explain this "type" without studying it for several hours:

https://github.com/openapi-ts/openapi-typescript/blob/main/p...

In this case, the "type" is really an entire program.
One data point: IBKR pays you 4.83% right now so I think it's quite good. Not the full interest rate but it's a reasonable in my view payment for their service. They also pay you for every day the cash sits in the account.
You can also buy any market funds and pay very little for the transaction.
Just 2 days ago they also told me that I paid enough in market data refresh request (they are very explicit that those are not free) to afford monthly subscription so they automatically switched me to monthly subscription again telling me it's only for that month so I don't need to cancel anything if I don't want to continue.

Meanwhile my bank didn't even offer any interest on significant amount of idle cash there. Instead they offered me their "currency exchange services" which have approximately 1000x higher fees that what I pay on my brokerage account.

My experience is that my brokerage firm wants to make money but also makes effort to be fair to me. Meanwhile my bank wants to sell me services which are all bad for me. The difference between them is like night and day. The banks are in business of skimming, confusing and deceive their customers.
The fed can buy those bonds via QE and just pass it as inflation.
I've been working on an implementation of graph RAG (GRAG) using Neo4j as the underlying store.

The overall DX is quite nice. The apoc-extended set of plugins[0] make it very seamless to work with embeddings and and LLMs during local dev/testing. The Graph Data Science package comes preloaded with a series of community detection algorithms[1] like Louvain and Leiden.

Performance has been very, very good as long as your strategy to enter the graph is sound and you've structured your graph in such a way that you can meaningfully traverse the adjacent properties/nodes.

We've currently deployed the Community edition to AWS ECS Fargate using AWS Copilot + EFS as a persistent volume. There were some kinks with respect to the docs, but it works great otherwise.

It's worth a look for any teams that are trying to improve their RAG or are exploring GRAG in general. It's not a silver bullet; you still need to have some "insight" into how to process your input data source for the graph to do its magic. But the combination of the built-in graph algorithms and the ergonomics of Cypher make it possible to perform certain types of queries and "explorations" that would otherwise be either harder to optimize or more expensive in a relational store.

Agree overall (yay data structures, and that types prompt thinking about them) but I don’t think you need types to make good data structures, and, just because you have types doesn’t mean you end up with good data structures.

But yes, definitely - working in a typed language encourages that mindset, and it’s the application of that mindset that yields the benefits (imo).

You don't have to. Get empirical data and form a proxy evaluator. Usable enough for most evolutionary algorithms. I've done this sort of stuff for very subjective metrics and actually sold something with it.
Yes. How do you find a notary that is not malicious?

A malicious subnetwork of notaries can flood it with bogus transactions. To prevent that, you have to make sure that transactions can't happen without a significant expenditure of real-world resources.

There was a myriad of crappy fiction before LLMs - way more than anyone can read - so… nothing really changed? Sure, LLMs have their own distinct flavors of crappiness, but it doesn’t really matter.

If I got it right, the core problem is that because writing became easier/more accessible, more people got… bolder (for a lack of better word) and started to spam^W publish subpar quality works more, I assume, hoping to make some money out of it.

If so, this seems to be simply a growth-related average quality issue that was surely known for centuries (cf. Mill’s “the general tendency of things … is to render mediocrity”; and if that’s a stretch, then, at the very least, I believe Lem was quite explicit about it coming in his Summa Technologiae)
As an autodidact without an “official” CS degree, discrete Mathematics seemed to me like a key area to open up more advanced topics and solve many practical problems in programming. And indeed it helped me on many such occasions (although I am still studying).

I really like the book “A Primer of Discrete Mathematics”[1] by Finkbeiner II and Lindstrom from 1987. It’s a bit old and unfortunately not free but still holds up pretty well and has many good exercises with selected answers.

I will absolutely check out this book though, looks like a more modern approach with interactive exercises and it even is completely free!
