> This is why I am a massive proponent of AppImages

I joined Linux late-game, and only recently discovered that AppImages were in some cases much nicer to work with. The thing that I was missing though was.. a package manager. If there was any distro that would build their package manager around AppImages, then I would gladly use it.
I once worked for a company that required from each engineer in the team to do what they called “firefighting” during working hours (so not exactly on-call). So for one week, I was triaging bug tickets and trying to resolve them. These bugs belonged to the area my team was part of, so it affected the same product but a vast amount of micro services, most of which I didn’t know much about (besides how to use their APIs). It didn’t make much sense to me. So you have Joe punching code like there’s no tomorrow and introducing bugs because features must go live asap. And then it’s me the one fixing stuff. So unproductive. I always advocated for a slower pace of feature delivery (so more testing and less bugs on production) but everyone was like “are you from the 80s or something? We gotta move fast man!”
Odd piece. It highlights some hyper-scalers but it needs to work on justifying 'how they ruin everything'.

"At scale, they would ruin communities, put restaurants out of business, destroy the dream of home ownership, and eventually undermine democracy itself."

I too can write made up criticism if that’s what my boss wants in the workplace — but that doesn’t suddenly invalidate my ability to criticize my own work to improve it.
The food is still microwaved on the ICE and presumably in other countries too, but the presentation is fantastic. The experience of eating in a proper restaurant while seeing the landscape roll by is amazing and while not all services need a restaurant or can support one I don't expect restaurants to go away. More automation might mean more people can work on the presentation of the food while the kitchen can take up less space which should overall improve the economics of the onboard eating experience.
The main argument for using shared libraries isn’t memory or disk usage, but simply security.

If you have a thousand packages linking statically against zlib, you will have to update a thousand packages in case of a vulnerability.

With a shared zlib, you will have to update only one package.

Nah. Modern automatic cuffs are adaptive. They tend to first run up pretty low (like 150), see if there is signal. If not then they have to inflate more and more. They tend to determine where to start next time based on the last reading, so if it had the go up to 200 for the last reading it’ll start there next time. If the cuff is a vise, excluding operator error the most likely cause is actually having high blood pressure.
10-16 hours is not enough at all. On a cloudy day, solar output will only be 15-20%. On top of that, your panels really only generate for 8 hours on a very good day - the sun is a lot dimmer in the early morning and late evening. Really, you need 2x storage for a good day, if you want to deal with two cloudy days you'd want 50-60 hours of storage.

I guess I’ve worked in a lot of ancient legacy systems that develop over multiple decades - there’s always haunted forests and swaths of arcane or forgotten knowledge. One time I inherited a kubernetes cluster in an account no one knew how to access and when finally hacking into it discovered troves of crypto mining malware shit. It had been serving prod traffic quietly untouched for years. This kind of thing is crazy common, I find disentangling these types of projects to be fun, personally, depending on how much agency I have. But I’m not really a software developer.
Lots of us don’t want to pay a dime because it’s like negotiating with terrorists. Do you really expect the people that ruined the web to act nice after the first round of extortion goes well for them? Many paid services still have ads and dark patterns. Those that don’t are waiting for a position of strength (whether that is a market monopoly or just user sunk-cost fallacy to kick in) and then the enshittification will start.

My heart goes out to journalists, etc, but I can’t really help them by paying their bosses because the bosses are not interested in journalism. If you think that paying into rent-seeking protection rackets is any kind of permanent solution you’re probably going to be disappointed.

I know how starlink works. I don't need to ask people on the Internet or read articles. I know at least two network engineers there from a mailing list I was on before they joined SpaceX . And I contacted one I saw on TV. I also have correspondence with researchers who reveal non public information about it.

Free service is meaningful even if you have to buy a private jet to use it. Apple's SOS is free and Google's SOS is free to the user.

So is Starlink service in hurricane areas.

Having to buy a device doesn't negate anything.

If I give out free WiFi I'm not beholden to give people free devices to connect to it either.

The truth is even if the device was free with one month of free service, it would just change what you complain about. For some people nothing is ever enough.

The "programmer's model" is their mental model of what's happening. You're senior and useful when you not only understand the system, but can diagnose based on a symptom/bug what aspect of the system is implicated.

But you're staff and above when you can understand when your programming model is broken, and how to experiment to find out what it really is. That almost always goes beyond the specified and tested behaviors (which might be incidentally correct) to how the system should behave in untested and unanticipated situations.

Not surprisingly, problems here typically stem from gaps in the programming model between developers or between departments, who have their own perspective on the elephant, and their incidence in production is an inverse function of how well people work together.
I'm not sure what you mean fully, this is TTS, but it sounds like you're expecting an answer about transcription

So its both hard to know what category you'd like to hear about, as well as if you do mean transcription, what your baseline is.

Whisper is widely regarded the best in the free camp, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a paper of a model claiming better WER, or a much bigger model.

If you meant you tried realtime 4o from OpenAI, and not o1*, it uses whisper for transcription on server, so I don't think you'll see much gain from trying whisper. my next try would be the Google Cloud APIs, but they're paid and with regard to your question re: open source SOTA, the underlying model isn't open.

But also if you did mean 4o, the transcription shouldn't matter for output transcription quality, the model is taking in voice (I verified their claim by noticing when there's errors in the transcription, it answers correctly)

* I keep messing these two up when talking about it, and it seems unlikely you meant o1 because it has a long synchronous delay before any part of the answer is available, and doesn't take in audio.

If you did mean o1, then, I'd use realtime 4o for TTS, and have it natively do the translation, as it will be unaffected by errors in transcription like you're facing now

This has been a really interesting part of having a 15 year old. Kids at that age are starting to really want independence and make lofty claims about what they will do, but they have no context for the difficulties involved with their desires. Then when a very minor road bump appears they come running for help :p.

Their brains seem to simplify tasks they have 0 experience with. Things like: owning car, renting an apartment, getting a job are all viewed as something that they will "just do" and don't really seem to raise any concerns.
This is interesting because it’s what I imagine would happen if we scaled this system to a larger team - offense engineers would get sloppy, defensive engineers would get overwhelmed, even with the rotation cycles.

Small, in-person, high-trust teams have the advantage of not falling into bad offense habits.

Additionally, a slower shipping pace simply isn’t an option, seeing as the only advantage we have over our giant competitors is speed.
We'll figure it out. There is too much at stake and there are already a gazillion engineers out there going to bed every night thinking about how to solve this problem.

One could read the claim being made as there aren’t any papers that are primarily about Afro-textured hair, nor about Black hair geometry considerations, which is likely true. There might not be that many papers that you could say are primarily about Caucasian hair either, but there most definitely is a lot of straight and wavy hair. I think some Siggraph hair papers do show examples of Afro-textured hair, IMO Darke’s slides here have one (p.23, example (c)) tkim.graphics/MORETHAN/Darke_Slides.pdf

Might be worth pointing out there aren’t that many siggraph papers on procedural hair geometry generation, quite a few are on rendering hair and do cover dark/black hair with elliptical cross sections. IIRC there are some papers on blonde hair specifically because it exhibits more visible scattering.

Anyway… is there a historical/cultural bias toward Eurocentric hair and not a lot of representation of Black hair? Yes that would probably be totally fair to say. Splitting hairs on whether or not their words are unambiguously and perfectly accurate might be slightly beside the point. Let’s take it as a hint that we can improve, and enjoy a paper that brings new hair generation methods to bear.

I am always puzzled when biologists make analogies between living systems (or sub-systems) and human-designed devices (even complex devices). Human designed devices have an essential property that biological systems do not -- they were designed. While radios may seem complex, they are built from a relatively small number of component types with very well understood behaviors and typically limited numbers of interactions. Biological systems have no such constraints -- they were not designed, there can be many different ways to do the same thing (in the same cell), there are at least thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of different components, many of which have lots and lots of interactions. Considering how messy the systems are, it is quite remarkable that genetics and biochemistry discovered the basis of heredity (or at least some of it), the genetic code, hundreds of signaling pathways, etc etc. But there is no missing language, because there was no design that used that language.

Yes, the paper itself is much more unambiguous (and very short): https://courses.physics.illinois.edu/phys419/sp2019/Gettier....

These are correct but contrived and unrealistic, so later examples are more plausible (e.g. being misled by a mislabelled television program from a station with a strong track record of accuracy).

The point is not disproving justified true belief so much as showing the inadequacy of any one formal definition: at some point we have to elevate evidence to assumption and there's not a one-size-fits-all way to do that correctly. And, similarly to the software engineering problems, a common theme is the ways you can get bitten by looking at simple and seemingly true "slices" of a problem which don't see a complex whole.

It is worth noting that Gettier himself was cynical and dismissive of this paper, claiming he only wrote it to get tenure, and he never wrote anything else on the topic. I suspect he didn't find this stuff very interesting, though it was fashionable.

Oh man. Once had a founder who did this to the dev team: blurry, pixelated screenshots with 2 or 3 arrows and vague “do something like <massively under specified statement>”.

The team _requested_ that we have a bit more detail and clarity in the designs, because it was causing us significant slowdown and we were told “be quiet, stop complaining, it’s a ‘team effort’ so you’re just as at fault too”.

Unsurprisingly, morale was low and all the good people left quickly.

> thousands of people and multiple separate organizations poured blood sweat and tears into these various bundling technologies for no good reason. Why’d they do that?

Because stability and rapid change are incompatible, and they wanted rapid change.

Which turns into a maintenance nightmare because now every app is using a different, incompatible version of the same library and somebody has to backport bug fixes and security updates to each individual version used by each individual package. And since that's a ton of work nobody wants to do, it usually doesn't get done and things packaged that way end up full of old bugs and security vulnerabilities.

The surest way to get yourself into a mess like this is to assume that a sufficiently complex codebase can be deeply understood in the first place.

By all means you can gain a lot by making things easier to understand, but only in service of shortcuts while developing or debugging. But this kind of understanding is not the foundation your application can safely stand on. You need detailed visibility into what the system is genuinely doing, and our mushy brains do a poor job of emulating any codebase, no matter how elegant.

The pitch alone on PayloadCMS shows that this is still a developer-focused CMS. Just look at the difference between the github page, the Payload website, and wordpress.org's landing. This is not purely a marketing difference but a strategic conversation.

I'm all about transitioning CMSes and yet WordPress has got the turnkey part of their open-source platform clear and easy to understand. You can self-host or choose a provider. Payload doesn't make that clear, it's either too dev-centric for running or wants you to "Schedule a Demo" (which is a way to capture enterprise dollars).

What about more consumer-friendly pitches and deployments? Any recommendations on that?
> such that at least every sentence is on its own line

Yes, with the obvious possible exception of trivial/degenerate cases like "i++; j--;" in C or "This is a cat. That is a dog." in English.

> and every line break represents a semantic clause or sentence gap.

Specifically, it represents a maximally coarse semantic gap, drilling as shallowly down into subclauses as possible/practical.

> wrap/line break [can happen at ...] also a semantically valid intra-word line break.

Preferably only if that word would already be alone on its overly-long line. Eg:

# bad, breaks subordinate clause before superordinate
That sounds supercalifragilistic-
expialidocious.

# semantically valid, but ugly (a pathological case)
That sounds
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

# vertically larger, but probably fine
# (unless you're feeling incunabulum-y[0])
That sounds
supercalifragilistic-
expialidocious.

> you end up running into the same difficulties that you do with conventional hard wrapping, at least in pathological cases.

I've yet to see any evidence that really pathological cases exist. (As opposed to "I'm lazy and can't be arsed" cases, which I'm fairly explicitly not disputing.)
