On some level, I still see Sam Altman as a visionary, but the moment that got me rolling my eyes was when we traveled to Middle East, reportedly looking to raise up to $7 trillion for AI chips.

Like, bro, all the sovereign wealth funds of the Arab Gulf hold less than $3 trillion, mostly in illiquid assets that you could take a 50% haircut if you need to liquidate. And after the $100b Vision Fund fiasco where Saudi Arabia was subsidizing "Uber for Dog-walking" startups for years (no thanks to Masayoshi Son), I'm not sure they're going to be keen subsidizing yet another bubble.

But, isn't that the default in VC? Aggressive, toxic optimism because it's not your money and you need to promise otherworldly yield to get capital.
> If everyone were trying to maximise their own wealth, we would have no nurses, no-one would be a firefighter, no-one would be police, no-one would work in the military, etc etc.

In a vacuum maybe, but presumably market conditions would adjust to increase pay for these positions until demand was met (or some other innovation would take their place). That's the whole point of markets, is it not? If there is legitimately enough demand for something, it will be supplied if possible.

The phrase "vast majority" to me is shorthand for "I have no data but a strong gut feeling about this". As someone who grew up not poor but close enough to it to have a healthy fear of it, focusing on driving science or social goals is admirable, but a bit of a luxury thing.
If it's news on a major website, it's priced in. So yes, we know it is priced in.

Obviously, it wasn't news 5 years ago, so no it wasn't then.

There is a gray area which is where professional investors who have an informational advantage make their money. But by the time something is mainstream news, that gray area is long gone.
I appreciate skepticism and differing opinions, but I'm always surprised by comments like these because it's just so different from my day-to-day usage.

Like, are we using entirely different products? How are we getting such different results?
honestly the base concept of 'mainstream media' is simply dumb. It's just a convenient way to group 'the other guy' up with conveniently ignoring 'not mainstream' media doing the same or worse.

"they control the media you can't believe anything they say!" being spewed on the platform with by-far the largest market share/reach.
> With the S3 API, you usually create one or multiple buckets per app – perhaps even one bucket per user. Your app manages those buckets, so it’s natural that it has access to the whole thing. (You can ask users to plug in their own S3 buckets, but that’s also not something I’d expect from iA.)

Then I think we have completely opposite expectations of what a native editor should do here. I don't want to use iA to create an app-specific folder for all of its files, I want to use it to edit all of my existing files in all of my buckets. Who organizes their files by app? Imagine if VS Code could only edit projects in a folder it created to manage files? What about Photoshop? Should I be forced to save images in the Photoshop folder and then move them to my VS Code folder?

I would never "create one or multiple buckets per app," because my life isn't app-centric, it's document-centric.

On S3, I organize my buckets by project, or sometimes by client. On Docs, that's how I organize my folders. If I download a new editor, I expect it to be able to edit any and all of the files without fuss, whether they're on my local disk, on S3, or on Google Drive.

If I'm running an editor, it really does need to "access everything I have in there," including files, created by other apps or uploaded by the user directly.

EDIT: I'm not trying to question the intentions of those who think apps that access all files should be more secure. But the current process is untenable for independent developers, and in my experience, does little to actually improve the security of the app. iA is correct to drop drive support rather than attempt to shoehorn their app into a scope it's not designed for or waste time and money jumping through these useless hoops.

IIRC, there is very little real evidence to link Maria to Anna's Archive, and AFAIK we're still waiting for more proof on that.
Well, one difference I notice is there are no links inviting me to “contact the sales team” or “join our webinar training partners”.
Before Google, unscrupulous web sites would try to SEO themselves into the top page of search results with repeated META tag bombs or sometimes just good old fashioned whitefonting. One of the innovations of PageRank was that more widely linked-to web sites would be ranked as more authoritative, doing an end run around the kind of keyword spam that plagued the early web. If the most widely linked-to web sites wish to play ball with SEO marketroids, that undermines the trustworthiness that PageRank assumes for those sites.

The upshot of this is that no system is impossible to game.

I mean there is an issue here with inflated line counts. It makes the whole solution more complex and more difficult to troubleshoot. It makes the binary size inflated. It likely makes the solution slower. And, probably most important, it makes auditing very difficult.
Title it in any other format and people will say it is clickbait.
That’s super cool, and I hope you are right and that I am wrong and artists/creators like you will still have a place in the future. My fear is that your work turns into some kind of artesanal fringe activity that is only accessible to 1% of people, like Ming vases or whatever.
Love the talk - last night I was looking at the rails basic setup and thought how nice it was to just be able to view source. I absolutely agree with his ideas, and spotify being able to do 1m requests/s should stop any "but it does not scale" comment.
I think this is part of the greater problem where companies eventually pivot from creating something new and meaningfully better for customers to figuring out how to extract a marginally larger share of the pie - having people work on redirecting value rather than creating value.

Google creates its search engine and its meaningfully better. Even their creation of contextual text advertising was meaningfully better. But then they start pivoting: the ads have a different color background to distinguish them as ads; what if we got rid of that so that they looked like regular search results?

YouTube brings video to people. Ads might be necessary to cover costs and make some money, but then you start pivoting to see exactly how much pain you can inflict with those ads before people turn away.

Smart TVs allow people to stream content...and then they pivot to injecting ads everywhere and spying on what you're watching.

For the companies, they pay someone $250,000 and that person makes $350,000 for the company and it's a net win for the company. However, sometimes people are employed creating additional value for society and other times people are employed redirecting value from one group to another.

What you've hit upon is that we're having so many of the smartest, best paid people working on redirecting value rather than creating value. And this isn't limited to technology. Companies and people have been trying to do this forever. Kings would seek to figure out how they could extract the largest cut from nobles without getting dethroned. A ruler certainly can create value by ensuring wise governance, encouraging good use of public funds, and encouraging good investment in the future. They can also scheme to take a larger cut of the current pie.

And that's a lot of the negative things that we notice: scheming to get more without really creating more value. We set KPIs (key performance indicators) for people who are used to ace'ing tests and they'll hit those marks whether it's useful for the customer (or even the company). One of the best examples of this that comes to mind is Facebook Messenger. For a while, anytime I added a friend on Facebook, I'd get a push notification on my phone from Facebook Messenger telling me that I could now chat with that person on Facebook Messenger. That little red "1" would stare at me until I opened the app to clear it. I can't be sure, but I'd bet that some PM had a KPI of increasing weekly active users on the app. They knew that if people had to clear a notification, more people would open the app each week. They probably crushed their numbers and got a big promotion - despite not actually creating value for users or for Facebook (since it wasn't real activity, just people trying to clear a notification). It's not always even companies redirecting value to them, sometimes it's individuals who have found a way of redirecting value from the company to themselves.

This is not a reasonable take on the current capabilities of LLMs.
Matt Mullenweg did a video segment with ThePrimeagen yesterday.

I found Matt’s stance a bit confusing in areas but admit it may just be too early in the morning for me to process.

I don't think there's a way to check for sure but I'd say that's pretty likely. There are billions of android devices, and Linux servers, while popular, are probably less common just because servers are less common than consumer devices in general. But maybe I'm wrong!

Any kind of signal in current buying or selling behaviour on either the stock or its derivatives that might indicate the price is going to plateau or fall, such as (for example) a change in the market for shorts.. though this seems obvious and I don’t mean to be insulting, so I might be misunderstanding your question? If so please let me know.
While AML regulations likely have an impact, imo their main secret motive is financial surveillance.
WordPress.com has hosting services. It’s one of the first things anyone runs into when searching for WordPress hosting. It’s hard to mistake it for anything other than the official affiliated hosting provider.

They’ve had the Wordpress.org and .com distinction for a long time. You can’t miss it if you’re searching for Wordpress things online.

I don’t think you can blame a Wordpress hosting service for using WP in their name, given that doing so has respected the nature of the Wordpress/WP distinction that they’ve had going for years. Something is very off about this recent attack on WP Engine and the released text messages show that Mullenweg is not the noble guy he’s been portrayed as for years.

Nobody needs it. It's a luxury product. If you don't want a 600w GPU just get a different one. I only recently upgraded from the 1070 that's served me well for almost a decade. Didn't really notice much of a difference even though I splurged a bit.

Buying top end gpus these days seems to me like a total waste of money unless you have very specific needs. For playing any mainstream game at 1440p you'll be completely fine with a mid-tier previous-gen card.
Love these things. I still remember the first time I saw some at a stand at a festival here in Germany. Me and my friend each bought one, then bought a few more because they were so freaking good. Still have pictures of our first bite. It was shortly after that I started seeing them everywhere in supermarkets, and I've been buying them regularly ever since (despite the crazy price).
> was no algorithm that could detect a high-quality review from a spam one

In that scenario, the search engine could show an empty page plus their screened ad network results.

Perhaps a link for querying Reddit or other social media.

For the most profitable/contested review queries, some combination of algo and paid humans for feedback/curation.
Amazing! Do you feel any pressure from your environment? And are you self-funded? I am also thinking about starting my first book.

Nginx/njs: A subset of JavaScript language to use in Nginx
No it is not. If you have remotely worked with WordPress at any level, you know that WPEngine has nothing to do with the WordPress company Automattic. I have worked with WP for 10+ years now and in my opinion like many others, this is nothing but jealously from Matt whose for profit competitor (wordpress.com and VIP) got beaten by WPEngine.

In fact, you know what confuses regular users ? wordpress.org vs wordpress.com.

I will not comment on any legalities of course but the fact remains that WPEngine is not doing anything different than all the others for profit WordPress providers except 1 thing. Guess what that is ? They make more revenue than WordPress.com.

It depends on who your employer is.

If they're high growth yes, if they're in the majority of businesses that are just trying to maximise profit with negligible or no growth then likely not.
IMO the internet is just a bad place to look for reviews nowadays, unless you really trust someone and know they aren’t being paid to review the product.
Likewise Amazon reviews I consider mostly fake.
For products I want to buy I look at what brick and mortar stores sell, they have skin in the game and can weed out the truly bad.
The "money laundering" at focus in the article is receiving money directly from people who are being scammed, and moving it quickly enough that the police cannot freeze or recover it when the scam is discovered. That's different from usual money laundering.
iPhone 16 and 16 Pro review: A worthy upgrade after three years
Who in their right mind is going whistle blow and risk their entire career over a security flaw that was detected internally, found to be unutilized, and was fixed in a timely fashion?

The fact that such a case even has reporting requirements at all seems nuts to me.
I like this! I always carry a screwdriver and various kinds of cables (along with my laptop) to school/work. Makes me think I should actually make a tiny toolkit out of it!

>How different would that be from changing the type and editing all the places the compiler complains about?

Currently in VS if let's say I change the Set to a Dictionary it will compile in the background and then complain about all the errors from where I can click on them to be taken there, and/or I would search on the variable name and find all the references and just scan through all of them to make changes as necessary.

Some ideas there could be:
a) We can use multiple windows (or lines in 1 window) to just quickly display all of the required changes directly on screen without me having to manually go from one to the next.

b) Let's say we were doing a standard List.Add but now its a Weird.Blob (ie. a non-standard class with no built in conversion support). I can perform a replace all .Add with .Blob which text editors can already do, but what if we only applied it to this current set of windows that have opened up, so as to not break other things? Again you could have done that with a narrower replace, but this way might be easier or faster.

c) In text editing you might have to replace a few lines several times, so you'd copy the new line or a segment of it, then replace all the parts of the old instances. What if we sorted all those opened windows so that the ones that are most similar are located next to each other, then if we change one we just drag it (or parts of it) to the other windows to make replacements. If they are exactly the same then provisionally change them automatically, the user just accepts the whole block of changes (as if they had done a search/replace for a specific line, or part of a line).
You might have some luck with news wire services such as Reuters or the Associated Press.
Yep. Ain't no better way demonstrating your deficiencies in wealth, status, and power than by making an extremely visible choice of "cheap, utilitarian, and unfashionable".
> There are two miserable fates [...] Nobody ever uses your code [...] Everybody uses your code

That is indeed a sour take. What about in-between, where me and lots of other people are happily sitting?

> if that code becomes too useful, you have somehow fucked up because you now have a second job

It only becomes a second job if you allow it to. You can tell people "No, I don't want that feature" or "No, please don't send any unsolicited PRs", and no one can do anything (to you) about it.

The world is rarely black and white with clear lines, and same with open source. No, it won't solve capitalism, and no my code isn't exactly the holy grail, but neither I or users of the code I wrote expect that either. And that's fine.

After what happened? The increase in claims from stolen merchandise? Hmm...
> I would rather be manipulated by private industry than controlled by government. I cannot out vote a majority, but I can out wit a billboard.

Another way of saying this is that you would rather be controlled through methods which are subtle, novel, and difficult to put a finger on than through methods which are overt and fit traditional narratives of control.
You aren’t the only one that feels this way.

After 20 years of being held accountable for the quality of my code in production, I cannot help but feel a bit gaslit that decision-makers are so elated with these tools despite their flaws that they threaten to take away jobs.
I think that the decision to use 0.0.0.0 in this case predates docker by a lot? Which to me indicates that docker used it because it was already a widespread (bad) default.
I am so glad I decided to tune out of this election cycle. Is anyone really undecided? If you're not, just don't watch. I have no idea what Trump is saying about McDonald's and I like it that way.

The idea is that there's several layers. If the spy appears like a normal citizen, then they won't be surveilled closely, so the book is less likely to be discovered. Keeping multiple books around means it's less suspicious that they have any given book - you just like to read. Why would the specific book be "discovered" when it's in a stack or shelf of them?

You also don't have to send an encoded message in every letter. If you have plenty of plaintext correspondence with a distant friend, and only some of it has any special meaning, then it will be less suspicious in the first place.

The whole idea is to blend in and not attract surveillance in the first place. Your counter-argument is based on the premise that blending in has already failed, in which case you're right - the game is up and the spy is compromised. Worse, it's possible to intentionally feed them bad information without them knowing (which happened multiple times in WWII). But this entire article (and the book it discusses) is about preventing that entirely.
I’ve heard some people say it. That economic disruption doesn’t matter because “all the pieces fall into place” eventually and the Industrial Revolution being an example.
