I always tend to think in terms of technology whether it's enhancing or diminishing the potential of the user. A bow is more powerful than a stick but also develops more motor skills, a bike develops the users body more than a car, and so on. Another way to put is is ask yourself whether adopting a given piece of technology is likely to turn you into the Wall-E people[1] or the opposite.

The article is basically an ad for some LLM product and sounds like it's written by one. I don't think the way people use them develops their mental faculties. If you want to organize your thoughts just use a system like Zettelkasten because you have to put conscious thought into your organizing, and if you want to learn to write don't take cues from a chatbot.

Me three, although my procedure did not result in quite so dramatic an improvement. I saw a PCP for the first time in several years, and was 180/130. Four meds (vasodilator, calcium channel blocker, diuretic, and beta blocker) brought that down to 130-140/80-90. After removing an adrenal gland, I'm in that same range with three meds (same three minus the beta blocker, which never did much anyway).

Regarding this potassium paper, it's interesting that it primarily concerns itself with sodium and potassium intake. I don't know that any reasonable change to my intake could have overcome the effects of aldosterone overproduction, but wouldn't the recommended changes to your diet depend on measuring your current balance?

I was expecting only 12GB Given Apple's stringent control on BOM Cost. And moves in 24 and 36GB rather than the 16 multiples.

But happen to be wrong this time around. Given how much margin Apple's saves on using M4 getting 16GB baseline shouldn't be much problem.

The issue with alt tab and the main reason why I personally eventually moved into tiling managers is the reliability.

Alt tab often requires two things: 1) Figuring out how many clicks to away your desired window is, as they change 2) executing those multiple key presses correctly

When you compare this situation with a wm where you place or permanently bind certain windows to a number (eg messaging apps are always CMD + 0 for me) then you can see how you can grow to prefer the certainty, there's no more fiddling for the window you're looking for.

Windows actually sort of had this feature with windows + numbers as that focused the window by order on the bottom bar, but lately with window groupings and things like that it breaks for common use cases such as multiple browser windows.

What's the point of running it in WebGPU then?

I think once COSMIC lands and more people use it we'll see even more of this extensible desktop rather than the all-in elitist desktop approach.

The purpose for internship programs generally are to grow the interns skills and establish a talent pipeline, _not_ for their immediate "code lift".

Unless you think that AI is going to completely replace developers, then there will remain value in having interns.

internship programs are ways to lock in top talent from top universities. I don't know the stats but I bet the majority of graduates end up taking a job at a company they interned with. You still need to hire juniors to have the eventual seniors.

This mis-identifies the purpose of intern programs.

Interns aren't there to get a bunch done. They're there to evaluate them and convince them to come back after graduation.

Even with Cursor + Claude (maybe even because of them?) there is still demand to hiring software engineers. Intern programs are hiring pipelines.

Yes, people's expectations around living space and privacy have inflated. What's your point? It's not as if Americans or Europeans are suddenly going to go back to tolerating having a bunch of kids in a cramped urban flat. And it was never "preferred". They mostly only ever did that in the first place due to religion and lack of birth control.

The question I've always had is: why hasn't anyone developed something with all the good things of Wordpress, but none of the bad ones. The good things mainly being:

- extensibility and flexibility.

- smooth learning curve at the beggining (when developing custom themes from scratch, compared to, for example, a "real" backend framework).
It's fast and easy if you are willing to accept big losses, but slow and hard if you want to save thousands of dollars.

However, it's important not to be too cheap - a friend of mine was stuck with a $150,000 balance on CS.Money because he only wanted to withdraw money in the most optimal way.

>People on Mars and select asteroids? No, robots.

No, not really.

People back then weren't predicting 1 or 2 people on Mars and select asteroids, they were predicting large settlements on the Moon and maybe Mars. Instead, we have a small handful of robotic explorers in those places (and sampling asteroids occasionally). The scale is absolutely nothing like what was predicted. We haven't "automated" as you say: if we had, we'd have armies of robots doing real work, like building habitats for humans, or harvesting asteroids for resources. A couple of very slow robotic exploration vehicles just isn't the same thing. I don't see real automation in space, just some small attempts at using a small amount of automation to avoid sending humans anywhere and save money.

> if you look around for papers that explicitly talk GA, they are very disproportionately (a) non-theoretical, (b) poorly-written, (c) trivial, i.e. restating widely-known results as if they’re novel, (d) only citing other GA papers, and of course (e) just plain crackpotty
The hustle don't stop Bro. Look at Snoop.
The whole point of an internship isn’t to get low cost work. It’s part recruiting and part teaching students about working in the real world vs. in educational environments.

I think companies will take advantage of AI in the future to create efficiencies with the existing workforce and free up their time to solve other problems that AI cannot solve such as user research, reasoned architectures, etc.

Can you provide data on the trends so I know where to position my recruiting efforts when internships are “no longer viable?”
Your entire comment just speaks about poor practices, not about abuse of outside hours.

There is never going to be a law that restricts wasted productivity or bad decisions.

Most workers in Australia don't even have ways to remote in. The fact that you do have that is probably reason to believe it's part of your role. It isn't quite rocket science to think that someone who controls releases can be on call, the same way someone who works in a hospital can be on call.

Your personal experience sucks but it sounds like part of the role, most of Australia doesn't have issues with this.

Excellent write up, Dhawal Shah. You have been bringing the happenings of the MOOC world to general public in a very good way.
Great words.
Too little, too late. Facebook did the government's bidding - right or wrong - and now they're trying to walk it back. I wonder if they're trying to get ahead of something, because why this and why now?
My former FAANG uses internships at the Ph.D. level for both recruiting and talent acquisition. Hiring committees have a way easier time assessing candidates with feedback like "this intern implemented X, Y, and Z beyond their project spec W during the summer" or "this intern goofed off all summer."
>A bow is more powerful than a stick but also develops more motor skills, a bike develops the users body more than a car, and so on.

Totally agree. I like bike much more than car, however the trend of bike superseded by car cannot be reversed, given car's convenience and power.

IMO if we cannot reverse it, then embrace it. It applies to other tech advancement as well.

I've been following classcentral for a few years.

What's the point of running it in WebGPU then?

Use client resources instead of server resources.
If you can solve this problem then you have solved entrepreneurship. Really you need to start to promote the project (as you have done here) and start to gather traffic to your site, while it has a minimal feature set. If you over-engineer and over-develop to get it "perfect" you'll just waste time that could be spent on another idea. Launch the most basic version and get links going to it from blogs, facebook groups (etc) and other established websites.

Even if you publish the best and most useful app in the universe, if nobody knows it exists then does it really exist?
Are there plugins or anything that will allow Dokku to run queues of batch jobs? Skimming the docs there is clear support for Heroku-style apps and one-offs that can be launched via cron, not so much for batch although it would be quite useful.

The vast majority who run a degoogled phone knows what they're doing. And it's such a niche phenomenon anyway. They're not going to be overrun by anything.
Only if you think auto complete, Google, and Stack Overflow also make internships obsolete.
I just don't see myself needing to do much differently than I did 10 years ago...heck 20 years ago. Sure some frameworks make things nicer but we had the ability to drag and drop labels on photos and create photo/video montages with audio in our startup back in 2005.

Maybe it could be done with better abstractions today but I just don't think it's worth all the complexity that it seems to come with nowadays.

You just described the whole concept of insurance.
I think you are wrong, but I also don’t think there’s much evidence to be had either way, or much hope of swaying each other. A game like this will either be made or not, and even if it is we’ll still be able to argue about whether or not it is actually any good. :)

FWIW, after bouncing the idea back and forth a bit, I’m more hopeful than ever, so even though I wasn’t able to convince you, I hope you enjoyed it as well!
I've been using Awesome for about two years and started using Hyprland in parallel due to its very good multi monitor + multi resolution support and it's been great.

The only two issues I have with it is slightly increased power draw from ~7w to ~10w on idle and screen sharing does not work. I use very default configs so maintaing both is not an overhead.

Awesome offers very high dpi and battery life and Hyprland smooth animations and multi resolution support.

But the article starts with "I run a Dokku server on a $7/month VPS", so author meant something else (probably just wrong usage). Maybe Dokku has 2 modes, where you can launch it on classic server (fixed price per month) or deploy on pay-as-you-use platform (https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/serverless/what-is-serve...). Calling something serverless without trying it first is deceiving.
Keep in mind that if you are publishing reviews (or regurgitating them) you should also have some insurance in place for product liability. Other businesses get a bit annoyed if someone says bad stuff about them and in the case of review that's stuff you didn't write, but are still publishing.

So companies in the future will not be able to subscribe to another companies algorithms? How is this a lot different?

Tons of companies use credit bureaus to get the sameCredit data for pricing loans to people. Remove this and companies will charge consumers lots more since they'll have to face more risk.

Tons of companies use prices when setting contracts in a ton of products (metals, food, stocks, and on and on) and those prices are aggregated and curated and that information is sold to all the other companies, thus setting prices. Stop companies from being able to access this pricing, and again consumers will face more costs as each company has to gather/curate it's own pricing.

Central banks set prices from which tons of the market sets downstream prices. Is this going to be illegal? Again, blocking this, markets and consumers will face higher costs, same reasons.

There are so many companies whose sole purpose is to set pricing so other companies do not have to do it in house that picking out this one seems ludicrous.

I fail to see how this is much different except that it's politically popular. Rental property owners are not forced to use it, and even have the traditional market forces not to use it: undercut the algo prices and get more business.
It actually makes me feel good when I see irrelevant ads. Because it means the advertisers don't have a clue who I am so my measures work.

Not that I see many ads because I block them of course. I even use a pihole to filter all my android phone traffic and it's very effective against in-app ads on android. In most cases even the whole bar where the ads would have appeared is gone so the app uses the full screen space.
I understand and empathize. At least the bad behavior doesn’t affect your ability to buy groceries and you probabaly have a better understanding of the bullshit in online discussions of software licenses.

People argue about licenses as if there are software license cops. There aren’t. Having money to pay lawyers to enforce your license is a reasonable reason to develop paid software.
I think the author has a point with one-way doors slowing down the adoption of distributed systems. The best way to build two way doors is to push for industry adoption of a particular API. In theory the backend of these APIs matter little to me, the developer, so long as they are fast and consistent. Some examples that come to mind is that Apache Beam is a "programming model" for Data pipelines, Akka is a "programming model" for stateful distributed systems, OpenTelemetry for logging/telemetry, and Kubernetes for orchestration. Oh, and local development is a strong preference.

I agree. Even if it isn’t right, and will probably be damaging in the long run, cost cutting management will likely think this way and thus reduce the number of interns/juniors hired. They probably expect AI to replace programmers by the time the interns/juniors are well trained & this find no point even as an investment. I personally feel like this will cause a crisis later on but who knows
