We must think of the lessons of docker, the lessons of conda. Why, what with the web environments, so many, is there not a way to unify an environment? Of course! A virtual environment of python, on a virtual environment of the docker machine, on a virtual web browser, and there can be JIT throughout to make it only painfully slow and not excruciatingly slow! Abstraction is a Good Thing (TM) and the more abstraction, the better. There really ought to be an object oriented abstraction layer factory generator factory using Java OOP best practices, also a good thing (TM). If all goes well we may even be able to reach abstraction tier 17, which is two more layers of abstraction than the industry standard 15.

Noting the vehicles driven in the tunnel are the Model Y and X, which are both equipped with a massive HEPA filter and an HVAC mode that pressurizes the passenger compartment while routing all incoming air through the filter.

This is designed to allow owners to drive through a wildfire, for example, and in testing has performed quite well.

I would love to see a video of testing the scenario discussed here. Enclosed tunnel with poor ventilation and fire safety equipment, the car in front of you catches fire, can you just sit there perfectly fine?
I like it, but as a strategy it sounds very delicate and is highly reliant on the highest levels of the organisation being thoughtful. Having discovered and fallen in love with Robert Kegan’s adult development model recently, I am now much more keenly aware of just how much large groups of people struggle with separating ideas from the people who advocate for them. IMO it'd only take one or two people in key positions to bring down institutionalised devils advocacy. And a lot of people - potentially in leadership positions - legitimately won't understand how having a person advocate for non-consensus ideas helps because they don't judge correctness by argument but by the number and status of the people advocating it.

The technique in the article would protect against groupthink, but I suspect the people most likely to be taken in by groupthink won't understand it and will keep making decisions based on which position has the most advocates. The article notes that advocatus diaboli of the Catholics was more akin to a muckraker looking for unknown facts than operating in a genuine position of advocacy or steelmanned argument - that'd be a more stable role in the long term but that isn't a defence against groupthink. Groupthink is fact-resistant.
We’re going to have AI building Drupal sites soon. The platform is well architected for this. Most of the work is generating configuration files that scaffold the site. There are already AI integrations for content. The surface area is relatively small, and the options are well defined in code and documentation. I would not be surprised if we pull this off first. It’s one of the current project initiatives.

The coding part is still a hard problem. AI for front end and module code is still pretty primitive. LLMs are getting more helpful with that over time.

I don't agree that they write good or intuitive (easiest to use) software, but that's just me. I've hated nearly all of their software paradigms (while drooling over their hardware), except for the pinnacle of human achievement: the iPods with the click wheel.

But I think the Apple "cult" and the increasing lock in to the ecosystem is party if a negative feedback loop: developers often make apps only for Apple, or make it for Apple first, or just half-ass their Android/Windows versions. So the lock in is encouraged by Apple and amplified by developers. But the while time they are paying for the privilege of the wall garden (and before people get confused again, "walled garden" is just a way of saying "pretty prison", it is not meant to imply you are hanging out at a 5-star all-inclusive resort).

I think you need some info in the start of the article about why 12tet was invented, what problems it was solving and how it fails. Like - In Bachs day you'd have to retune the instrument if you changed key signatures and you could only modulate a few steps away before the ratios sounded really bad. So 12TET opens up the possibilities to modulate far away from your original and requires less retuning, at the cost of adding various amounts of dissonance to intervals. I always find it interesting that each key signature in 12TET has a unique sound (Like CMaj vs EMaj) due to inconsistent ratios in perfect fifths, etc, and that "offness" is not necessarily a bad thing. You could also mention what most people think "microtonal" is (adding extra notes in between half steps) and why just intonation is different.

IMO music is all about the balance of the harmonic/expected and dissonant/unexpected at various timescales. The experience of Just Intonation is interesting because at first it sounds wrong due to us expecting 12TET but once you recalibrate your expectations it sounds more pure and harmonic, like how choirs or string quartets slip into simpler ratios instead of sticking exactly to 12TET.

I think with some more context/succinct summary at the beginning (which is REALLY HARD to write about for a general audience) the rest of the article would be more clear for people not steeped in music theory. A way I simplify it for others is by framing it all as simple ratios vs more complicated ratios, and how harmony is a kind of alchemy in mixing those ratios together in the right amounts.
Interesting take. Surely, VC's have created some very large, profitable, innovative entities.

But I wonder if the nature of the industry is such that it attracts some moneyed folks who lack ethics and talent for business. To make up for that lack, they effectively "scam" investors.

Surely, there are some great VC partners who can identify unique talent and business opportunities. But there are probably more individuals who happened into the position from wealth (e.g. Ivy education, wealthy families) who lack both sufficient real world experience and business context.
Super interesting to see this whole communications stack implemented in Python.

Have any people from Microsoft corroborated what he claims? Whatever I have heard of him is all from his channel and articles citing him.

But then Dave Cutler and Raymond Chen appeared on his channel for hour-long Windows history podcasts so maybe that's an endorsement of his claims.
Russia losing free trade with Ukraine is pretty much nothing compared to the economic damage caused by the sanctions, and loss in gas sales to the EU.

Putin's action would have been rational if he had captured Kyiv in a couple of days or weeks, and managed to install a puppet government. IMO the whole thing was based on bad intel, lies, corruption and yes-men who told their superiors what they want to hear, rather than what was the truth about Ukraine's defense capabilities. After that Putin couldn't back off without losing his face, and obviously loss of human lives and economic damage mean nothing compared to that to him.

Not surprising. That man seems so off. Like how he always says he's just doing his videos for the likes, while at the same time using the videos to advertise his book. Or how he leans so heavily into having worked at Microsoft but then doesn't actually seem to have worked on more than a handful of projects there (his videos get repetitive).
I understand there's a bias. But review that Leher list and you'll realize that 95% of what is passed off as journalism violates too many of those rules. That is, it doesn't qualify to be called journalism.

As threats to democracy go, there's nothing worse than a self-proclaimed journalist (read: a hack) fronting like they're fulfilling their duties as a member of The Fourth Estate. Frankly, most of them don't know the difference between cause and correlation (which is an essential / foundational concept in truth and being objective), let alone what The Fourth Estate is (and why it matters).

The problem is, the publishing industry doesn't even realize it's wrong. It's blind to its own blind spot.

Do you have a reference for this particular usage of slash? In print, “x / y” is often used to mean “item x out of y” [0], for example in page numbers. I’m only familiar with using slashes for ranges in ISO 8601, where it has purely syntactic reasons and (AFAICT) doesn’t adopt any preexisting convention.

I imagine the slash in CSS grid is for similar syntactic reasons, because the syntax also admits hyphenated identifiers [1] (custom-ident), which precludes the use of “-”. (They could have used a range operator like “~” or “..” though.)

The same people that have the power to remove people causing a disturbance elsewhere. The police could have been instructed to remove them, arrest them, issue a summons for court, and then the judge can have their turn. That a judge can skip that entire process on a whim is a massive overreach.

I see in the news that the judge has been removed from trials for "training". Hopefully they will stick him in cuffs, dress him in prison garb, and publicly humiliate him in front of his peers while they flip a coin to decide if he should spend his "holiday" in prison. But I doubt it.
Epic Games Store Launches on iPhone in EU, Brings Fortnite Back to iOS
Main reason that exFAT is less popular is because Microsoft still owns some of the patents on the underlying tech (but has permitted the Linux kernel access to those patents so Linux can have exFAT support). That makes it less popular for all the various pieces of niche hardware that accept microSD cards to extend storage.

Device makers that do support exFAT have to pay Microsoft for every sale. It's why for example the Nintendo Switch enables exFAT as a "system update"; that way Nintendo doesn't have to pay Microsoft for every single switch sold, only the ones that are actually using exFAT for external storage.

I think the last of those patents will expire by 2027? You'll probably see an uptick in exFAT use by then.

Hey Robert. :)

We don't have a word for it that I'm aware of, but I would say that is at least 40-60% of the undertone I notice. Even when I myself was getting into startup stuff 20+ years ago, I very very very vividly recall my father looking at me and saying with real distain "why do you think you have to be better than everyone else?".
At facebook's size and for the duration that lie was told, no, that's inexcusable.

That's a knew or should have know territory - they were pushing a new feature, they lied about the impact of the new feature, they changed the industry around it and wasted billions of dollars. Later this was called "a bug" - seems beyond convenient for facebook when you know, double checking that type of thing is usually a big deal for advertisers.

The first iPhone was fine, but it was the second generation and the app store that actually delivered a "real" smart phone. The retina display in the iPhone 4 may have been an incremental improvement, but it wasn't a "small" one. But. yeah, decreasingly minor improvements after 2010.

The passionate Apple 'cult' of geeky superfans existed long before the iPhone, even the before the Mac, and it continued for very long time. What the author is noting is that well over a decade of minor enhancements, rent-seeking, and "innovation shaped objects" like the Vision Pro are finally killing off the this geeky crowd of superfans.

Apple will continue to make tons of money as an upper middle class lifestyle brand, hawking their talismans at Target. But that is irrelevant to the authors point. Apple doesn't need the super enthusiast "cult" anymore, and it's slowly fading away.

Yes, that's my point. Any extra gains in value that early adopters received was offset by the greater risk they took.

If anything risk/reward ratio is a better proposition than it was then - we have 15 years of solid operation, nation state adoption, ETFs and far less volatility yet the upside is still enormous.

The point is that staying relaxed in boxing during sparring or working the heavy bag feels counter-intuitive in the beginning.

They weren’t dominant but it wasn’t even remotely newsworthy to remember that entire industries like publishing, education, audio/video, science & medicine, etc. existed.

Since PCs were starting from so far behind the industry had something of a chip on its shoulder and it was common to see print ad comparisons where they were showing how a PC was just as good for less money, where they’d list the optional components like a sound card and mouse not adding as much as the base difference.
