Google Calendar has a "speedy meeting" option that kind of does this, but it makes meetings end a few minutes earlier. Unfortunately, nobody really pays attention to exactly when the meeting ends, so you just end up losing this window.

Your idea to start later is great.

It’s more than “a little bit controversial”, it _is_ clickbait. If your title was more true to the article’s actual premise, I doubt you’d have as much engagement. The title made me click immediately because “wow that’s a wild opinion!” I opened the article and was greeted with a much more nuanced view than I was led to believe and tbh I likely wouldn’t have read it if the title was more accurate.
A nice example is the recent reddit-google deal which gives google' crawler exclusive access to reddit's data. This just serves to give google a competitive advantage over other search engine.

macOS also does some things for free that you need to, or had to, pay for on other OSes. The quick screen recording for example.

Some of the complaints of the app's author are also not accurate:

> "Expose" does not work well when you have more than 3 windows on a space.

I have "Hot Corners" set to "Mission Control" and "Application Windows", and when I fling the mouse to that corner, I can see 6 windows of the browser just fine right now, and I have grouping enabled in Mission Control, showing 8 windows. If I scroll up on a window group, the windows spread out.

All in all, it's not that bad out of the box as the author makes it out to be, and definitely not bad enough to make me want to suffer all the other jank of Linux or Windows :)

The usual answer is legitimacy. The military can't seize power, if it's not loyal to its commanders. If people serve in the military due to personal loyalty and the promise of glory and loot, the military is a threat to the society. But institutions can create other purposes to serve, and then military commanders only have power if their actions are consistent with those purposes.
Oh yes I've been trialing Metabase but didnt know about Superset, thank you!

This category of tools definitely scratches a big part of the itch here. But you still end up needing a db client for a long tail of other tasks. So now your db knowledge is spread across 3+ tools: shared queries/charts in Metabase, personal queries in Postico, schema defs and SQL files in your code repo, Notion, etc.

I think you've got an opportunity to consolidate all that into 1 tool in the same way Postman did for APIs

> Postgres in particular makes a lot of schema information available, but very few database clients make full use of it.
Completely agree. Also just the industry consolidation around the pg ecosystem in general will lend itself to better tooling potential (e.g. Supabase's LSP project).

> I am currently working on a mobile-first Postgres client.
Great that you're working on something new here! If I may ask - why mobile-first? That's not something I've particularly needed tbh (sample size of 1 of course)

I going to respectfully disagree (at least is part). So, small town officials that are (as far as I know) still sometimes serving in volunteer positions it can be difficult to wade through paperwork and minutia of bureaucracy[1]. There are still towns with hundred of residents (not thousands). It should always fall on a competent human to vet things but really I would think any help is welcome. However care should (but will not) always be taken. It is true of AI, hiring a contractor, or relying on help already in the office.

[1] I have waded through some of the paperwork myself and it can be mind numbing for the uninitiated.

> Despite his fame, his accountant did not allow Page to have much money

No one got in Jimmy Page's way ever. There's not a chance in hell that he didn't have the £10,000 or whatever an obscure occult bookshop would cost in early 70s England, an economy still devastated by WWII and a worldwide recession. He's also a smart guy with an obviously good memory. Even now, despite decades of drug abuse, he sounds like an archetypal English gentleman. Zero loss of mental acuity at an age when many are ravaged by dementia.

Mageek was ripped off by Jimmy Page. Shameful for both parties.
Even as someone who's actually done the math that video is trying to explain(in an actual class covering missile geodesy), it's still so absurd.

But honestly only about half as crazy as GPS would sound if you tried to put it in similar terms. And that's before considering the signal itself is way below the noise floor.

As much as I love these technical writeups, I wish more people who understand the slightly expanded bigger picture/ implications of the missile technologies would write what they know before the generation goes extinct.

There's so many dots that are easily connected from articles like these... but I suspect some level of classification prevents those in the know from being able to publish.

If stand-up is done right, it has a lot of benefits. I've seen some people start boiling an ocean in that meeting or even after being included in every single meeting, would still ask the next day in the stand-up - *"What you did yday?"* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

@allknowingfrog put it in the right way - * A daily standup ensures that no one spins their wheels for more than a day without giving you a chance to do something about it, which is really helpful for a junior team. However, remember that this meeting is for surfacing issues, not for solving them. Schedule follow-ups with the people who need it and let everyone else get back to work. *

Or you could tell the people in meeting A that you have to leave 5 min early - best option if possible.

Alternatively, tell the people in meeting B that you will be 5 minutes late. Lateness communicated in advance is far less disruptive than unannounced lateness.

If neither of those are possible, reschedule one or the other meeting.

If it's impossible to reschedule either meeting, and this happens a lot, then there's a larger problem.

A Robust Deep Learning Enabled Semantic Communication System for Text (2022)
While this is generally true for legacy publications (impossible to cancel!), I mostly enjoy paying for niche-topic newsletters from a single source. A great example is a former newspaper journalist who was laid off and now produces his own newsletter focused on a single college football team. He probably makes more now than when a newspaper employee. I am a happy subscriber. I pay for a handful of these. I also subscribe to newsletters like "Morning Brew." while free and ad-supported, it is well done.

> LLMs and foundation models are fungible and easy.

The top couple LLMs are extraordinarily expensive - will get dramatically more expensive yet - and are one of the most challenging products that have been created in all of human history.

If what you're claiming were true, it wouldn't cost so much for Meta and OpenAI to do their models, and it wouldn't take trillion dollar corporations as sponsors to make it all work.

> One LLM is as good as any other, and it'll be a race to the bottom.

Very clearly not correct. There will be very few top tier LLMs due to the extreme cost involved and the pulling up of the ladders regarding training data. This same effect has helped shield Google and YouTube from competition.

> There is no moat in an API or foundation model.

Do you have a billion dollars? No? Then you can't keep up over the next decade. Soon that won't even get you into the party. Say hello to an exceptional moat.

I just came from chicagotribune.com where they tried to entice me with a Flash Sale of one year’s access for a total of $1. Sounds great, but I took advantage of it a year or so back and regretted it due to how annoying they were with advertisements, newsletters, etc…. It’s pretty amazing that the tactics can be so annoying that they can make me regret a $1 purchase.
I'm still not convinced this is sound engineering? Shipping two different versions of the software, instead of having some sort of switch you can flip, seems sub-optimal precisely because it increases your exposure to risks like this where you're less able to adapt to unforeseen circumstances because as soon as you wander off the happy path you're in completely uncharted waters. This feels more to me like yet another example of Boeing cutting corners without the benefit of a full understanding of the implications of the decision because their left, right, top, bottom, front, back, charm and strange hands all have no idea what the others are doing.
Can't agree. You should revisit macOS. It sounds like you haven't tried it in, well, long over a decade.
It's not limited to software.

In the early 90s - 1990 to be exact - I open a retail store. I don't remember where I read it, but this heuristic has served me *very* well ever since:

It - whatever it is - will take you twice as long and cost twice as much as your original estimate.

Sure occasionally you'll do better or worst, but on average it's spot on. Or cost might not double as the raw goods (e.g., lumber) are fixed, but time is nearly always 2x'ed.

Needless to say, I often get into deep (read: heated) discussion over estimates that don't use this framework.
Imagus (atleast how I've used it) just pops up an image if you hover on it. Imagus removes the extra crap when showing you the pop up.

Banks don't do this well. It isn't always low transaction time, it isn't always 0 default risk, it is usually 0 fees but not internationally and the UX is not great.
Weirdly enough, INI is not that well-supported; but yeah, it's loads better than stuff like curl/jq for the very common JSON, YAML and other structured data cases (which includes near-100% native support for what you are commonly running shell utilities for: ls, ps, and so forth). The best part is that it's integrated into the shell language at the top-level so you can leverage whatever you learn to sort, filter and process all kinds of structured data, and explore and manipulate in a straightforward way. It's very powerful to freely intermix gci, gi, irm output and script together these various sources.

And it's full of delightful tricks, like when you discover properly-throttled parallelism is easy (% -parallel {}) and you don't need to dive into yet another tool-specific abstruse sublanguage.
Agree very much with all of this.

The way I estimate the situation (and I admit this is not a rigorous scientific conjecture), is the following (for public schools in the US in the average):

Early years: bad pedagogy, bad retention rates (ie, quitting after 5th grade to go work on the farm, bad average results, basically only the top 10% learned deeply and went on to intellectual pursuits

1900s - 1980s: Decent and improving pedagogy (the aforementioned procedure-first style for math), good and increasing retention rates, good parental and societal pressures to perform, great average results, top 50% or more went on to intellectual pursuits.

1980s - 2010s: Same math pedagogy, but with rapidly deteriorating parental pressure to perform, leading to worse results. A truly terrible detour for reading instruction (from phonics to context-based reading) that decimated the average reading level of those currently under 40. Currently being fixed but not yet replaced in all schools. See: "the science of reading".

2020 - 2024: an earnest effort, gaining traction and fast-tracked after the educational disaster that was COVID, to find curricula that actually work with current students.

The concept-first, teach-them-how to think approach for math really is pretty new, and only just now being rolled out in a lot of states.

In reality, a vanishingly-small subset of American students has ever been given an entire education using evidence-based instruction and curricula. Looking at what actually works and trying to synthesize it and scale it up state- or nationwide is truly a brand new experiment, and one the decentralized US education system is sort of designed to prevent. So we'll see.

> California Governor Gavin Newsom eagerly signed the bill into law, wanting to get some headlines about how he was “protecting the children.” When NetChoice challenged the law, Newsom sent them a very threatening letter, demanding they drop the lawsuit. Thankfully, they did not, and the court saw through the ruse and found the entire bill unconstitutional for the exact reasons we had warned the California government about.

> Specifically, they call out the DPIA requirement. This is a major portion of the law, which requires certain online businesses to create and file a “Data Protection Impact Assessment” with the California Attorney General. Part of that DPIA is that you have to explain how you plan to “mitigate the risk” that “potentially harmful content” will reach children (defined as anyone from age 0 to 18).

> And we’d have to do that for every “feature” on the website. Do I think that a high school student might read Techdirt’s comments and come across something the AG finds harmful? I need to first explain our plans to “mitigate” that risk. That sure sounds like a push for censorship.

It's some biased reporting here to be sure - but it's amazing how something like this gets so far as to actually be signed into law. It has significant and obvious flaws, the least of which are the constitutionality.

How have we gotten to a place where our elected officials - sworn to uphold the constitution - willingly and knowingly pass unconstitutional laws just to see how long they can get away with it?

It would be awfully nice to have, or just a functional hcl2json that you can actually use, and doesn't barf on very common cases. Introspecting Terraform (or another HCL language) is something I've often wanted to do and support is very poor. Ideally Terraform would actually do this (produce an intermediate parse in JSON or something) but it doesn't. But there are a lot of cases where you want to examine such a manifest and derive information from it.
I wonder if there were similar intense sentiments among artists when the camera was invented.

The two paradigm shifts aren't perfectly equatable - there's arguably more creativity to framing and developing a shot than to writing a prompt.

But likely the role of art will shift once again, like it did when the camera was invented. Back then, it removed the need for absolute depictions of reality, so artists focused more on expressive or abstract paintings.
It is how Apollo navigated, although both the ground (via ground tracking) as well as the crew (via locating stars through a extant, and the Apollo computer having a database of the position of several dozen bright stars) could update their current position throughout the flight.

Yesterday I had to open up a huge ass PC case and disconnect GPU to be able to physically remove 2nd SSD drive, so that Windows 11 could perform a clean install. Simple setup on a modern PC.

The three articles I read from the NYT a year are not worth the price of a monthly subscription.

My choices are:

1) Use archive.ph to read the three articles.

2) Never read a NYT article again.

3) Pay for a subscription for the NYT.

I think you need to be approaching this from an exceptionally legalistic perspective to think that anything but Option 1 is reasonable. If I could pay the five cents of value those three articles are worth, I would, but I can't so I won't.

Standing at an empty intersection, I'm not going to start lecturing someone for looking both ways and crossing the street when the traffic light signals "Don't Walk".

I understand that you might feel that journalism is under funded and that this scofflaw, naredowell attitude is further jeopardizing it. The fact that the reasons newspapers are failing is complex and has less to do with consumer behaviour than it does with other factors not least of which are market consolidation and lax antitrust laws. I pay hundreds of dollars a year on newspaper subscriptions and I refuse to believe that I'm the reason any of that is happening.
> The top couple LLMs are extraordinarily expensive - will get dramatically more expensive yet - and are one of the most challenging products that have been created in all of human history.

I disagree. The more we learn about LLMs the more it appears that they're not as difficult to build as it initially seemed.

You need a lot of GPUs and electricity, so you need money, but the core ideas: dump in a ton of pre-training data, then run layers of instruction tuning on top - are straight-forward enough that there are already 4-5 organizations that are capable of training GPT-4 class LLMs - and it's still a pretty young field.

Compared to human endeavors like the Apollo project LLMs are pretty small fry.
