In my experience as a teen growing up in LA, only women seem to care about the green bubbles. It's akin to not having a car or living on a friend's couch -- a sign you don't have the bare minimums taken care of. Most friend groups organized over iMessage group chats which are awful UX-wise for an Android user. Often we'd move onto Snapchat just because that one nerd begged us to.

Moving to Europe and meeting attractive, popular, and even wealthy kids who had Androids was surreal for me initially. On a tangent: Signal took off spectacularly among normies in LA after their dealers started pressuring them to use it. For instance, at UCLA it's the defaulted to group messaging app if a member of the group doesn't have an iPhone.
It was a retroactive change. Suddenly people would have owed money for the runtime fee based on poorly defined per-install metrics that would have applied to demos, refunded copies, and subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass.

They only backpedaled after people complained, but a retroactive fee was an insane breach of trust.
Calling it an "epidemic" isn't really helpful. The reason there's this shortcoming isn't because it's some problem inherent to those darn kids, it's because the state of computer education is expect them to just figure it out on their own when they have no need or reason to do so.
The problem with this logic is that our working conditions are a part of society, and in the modern age are a major source of our well being or lack thereof. So if everyone's suddenly trapped in their basement that's just yet another problem with modern society that we now have to deal with.

What I find more disturbing is that in my company's case the result of the pandemic seemed to be random and based on nothing but financial logic. My department supported a hybrid situation almost entirely but the powers that be didn't care, they did the easiest thing. Before the pandemic we couldn't get one day a week remote because it was a 'security risk'.

It may be a little early to make that comparison. Jump is still being investigated for its crypto shenanigans.

Do something that connects you with the greater world. For me? Hiking and traveling in a State with a lifetime of natural wonders to explore.

Try nature. See how amenable it is to you.

Good article, but the reason is obvious: When opening an app or a web app stopped opening a new document and started to present a list of recent documents, that was the beginning of the end. If someone wants a file, they open the app for that file and scroll down. They have never needed to make sense of a file existing independently of the app in which it was create and may be viewed. This process was cemented by iOS's absence of a file manager.
The other problem it solves is the complex transmission required. Diesel-Hydraulic locomotives were built, but were not successful long term. The most famous is the Krauss-Maffei ML4000, built for the Southern Pacific railroad.

Wow, quite a strong statement. Personally I'm not much friends with ppl from work, my feelings are neutral. If I see some ex-colleague from work, I'll say hello and maybe some small talk. But that practically never happens, because I've been moving a lot.
The FBI really shouldn’t be creating fake securities for people to buy. I don’t think any of the fake companies they make (including the secure phone one) should be allowed. It’s a bad use of taxpayer funds and it’s not how government should be arresting people

It's more the breach of trust and how systemically rotten the entire company must have been to make a decision like that. I don't really buy that one guy could be the cause, and it also appears to be the CEO's job to hit the eject button when the company needs a scapegoat. The board of directors decided that the president of EA should run unity, and I think they're all still around.
> If people and companies took the bigger picture in to account, they likely wouldn't do these things.

That's part of the issue. There are very real financial rewards for short term gain; meanwhile vision and legacy have been greatly devalued at both the personal and corporate level.

How many CEOs do we honor for years of dedicated service and company growth? Respect is shown in the form of monetary compensation, and that's granted based on short term shareholder results.

And it doesn't help that some companies succeed in spite of their brand tanking (FAANG, etc.). Why would you care about your brand if it doesn't seem to be affecting your bottom line? The brand at that point is for the shareholders first and foremost, and what's a terrible brand to many consumers can be a great brand to investors (Facebook).
Came here to ask the same. I guess it's entrapment when law enforcement induces a person to commit a crime they otherwise wouldn't have.. so maybe it depends on how hard and well they marketed it? :) It's such a fine line - both legally maybe (IANAL) but certainly morally I feel.

You are correct. That’s what I meant but the wording should have been more precise.
In my experience, vectorization is very simple—just running multiple instsnces of Xoroshiro (or one of the weaker variants) inside a vector works quite well. Fitting the resulting peg into the hole of a preexisting API is difficult, but that’s always a problem.

Driving through dead forests covered in this vine on my way to PA from TX, I would respectfully disagree with their premise. When allowed to proliferate it strangled everything visible from the highway, and covered every inch of the hundreds of standing dead wood trees it had killed.
I feel like I've had this debate many, many times, and it always ends in the same place: I'm willing to concede that there are a subset of correctness/reliability bugs that Rust's error handling and type system mitigate, but not that any of those bugs are material to security, which is what most people are talking about when the discussion turns to memory safety. And, of course, Rust admits concurrency bugs too! We just ran into a huge one.

hilarious, but running an operation of this scale to only charge 18 people? this is like squishing a few individual ants, then going on a victory lap bragging to national media about what a canny and clever exterminator you are. great job cleaning up 0.0001% of the market 10 years late!
The Wind Rises. I love everything about it. Beautiful soundtrack, fun sound design, and a fascinating treatment of various topics from the ethics of engineering to the miracle of flight. The end scene completely wrecks me every time.

The Downfall is one of the best movies about being on the losing side of a war. It’s impressively accurate, and the acting is outstanding.

When I don’t know who I’m watching the movie with, I recommend Snatch or Amélie.

Second, 100%. That's exactly what I'm reading as well, its why POs/PMs get a bad rep, its representative of the worst POs/PMs I've worked with, and frankly it is virally toxic.

If you view your product development as a factory floor, your product will be a mass manufactured cookie cutter widget. That's how it works, and it does work for, say, cars. But the software business isn't like the car business. Its startlingly winner takes all. Atlassian builds a better, more efficient widget factory than you do for tasking software, and they eat the tasking software market, and they shoot tendrils out into other markets, and soon your business is dead.

Fundamentally, it's not entrapment because entrapment doesn't mean what many of us, myself included, feel that it should mean.

The crime was committed. So the burden of proof falls on the defendant to demonstrate entrapment, which only happens if they can make a convincing case that they were not otherwise inclined or likely to commit the crime.

That's quite difficult to do when, in fact, they did commit the crime.

I think the standard should be stiffer: it should need a preponderance of evidence (not proof beyond reasonable doubt) that the defendant either also committed similar crimes, or was demonstrably predisposed to committing the crime in question.

I rather suspect that the defendants in this case would not be able to mount that defense either. But I've grown quite tired of reading about the FBI hitting up some random resentful teenager and talking him into buying a fake bomb.

> Email + magic link

Two scenarios I had recently, where I absolutely, utterly hated this pattern:

* I did not remember the mail address for such a thing because I started (too late) to use a different mail address for every service, thanks to Apples iCloud hidden addresses. And because there was no corresponding password, there was no entry in my password manager. I since rectified that, but it’s annoying.

* I tried to login on an older Windows PC - the magic mail landed on my iPhone. And because cross-system technical standards are a thing of the past the only possibility to get the magic link to the other system was to transcribe it.
For our new project, we decided to try Next.js for the first time and the entire experience has been hell.

- Fighting hydration mismatch errors has been extremely annoying

- (related to hydration errors) react server component is a misnomer - "use client" still does a server side render

- Compile time is around 10s+ for dev mode because if you happen to import from modules that have tons of exports, it will compile the entire thing even if you're not using them

- next-auth has nonsensical APIs (eg the jwt and session callbacks); if you want to do federated sign out, it's also a hacked solution you have to come up with on your own

- app router middleware is difficult to extend. want to have multiple pieces of middleware like express? you'll have to hack your own solution since they only support a single piece of middleware

- caching problems. next 14 cached nearly everything, and 15 now disables some of it by default to help with the issues around stale data being rendered

- no way to specify that next.js runs in node.js mode and not edge mode. have to use annoying comparisons to run node.js specific code

developing a modern JS app shouldn't be this difficult and annoying that I totally regret using it
Agree, this is a strange framework decision and I also hit this recently.

I think the TLDR is that you can't mutate cookies in server components so that they can fully support HTML streaming. The workaround is doing a second request from the client to update the cookie. Kind of fuel for the conspiracy theories around app router being about driving vercel revenue.

FWIW I'd gladly opt-out of streaming to eliminate the cost and complexity of making a second request.
> What’s the easiest possible way to cause stacktraces to also dump local variable information? I feel like this is a feature that should be built into the language…

That is built into Python!

import sys

def div(x, y):
return x / y

try:
print(div(1, 0))
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
print("Div by zero!")
print("Locals:")
_, _, tb = sys.exc_info()
print(tb.tb_next.tb_frame.f_locals)

This will output:

Div by zero!
Locals:
{'x': 1, 'y': 0}

You're right, this functional style 'clever' programming is exactly what Go discourages (or did discourage... historically...) This is the exactly the kind of code I don't want to see. I want to see clear, easy to read, obvious functions that do exactly what they say on the tin.

No. Your confusing different accounting methodologies. For tax accounting purposes, the goal is to show the IRS near-zero profit.

Their internal books will track expenses in a different way so as to produce a non-tax profit, buy that's all internal non-tax accounting, and tends ro be private compared to SEC filings.
Photos taken on the camera, shared to you, or “saved to photos” will live in the Photos app. The files app primarily contains things you download from your web browser, including images downloaded and not “saved to photos” and images extracted from zip, etc. I guess some apps can save data there too. It would be nice if there was a back road to images stored in Photos app via Files app, but the distinction is otherwise well defined.

Entrapment is when the police threaten you into doing something you wouldn't normally do. I'll kill your daughter if you don't rob the bank. If you weren't going to rob the bank and you just happened to have bank robbing tools and you really weren't going to use them, that's actually totally fine. if it was the cops threatening you that made you rob the bank then that's entrapment.
Sure, but I think the typical path for those who survive and strive in a CS program is to have touched a computer for the first time well before starting work on a college degree for it.

That's like trying to learn a foreign language by picking reading War and Peace in that language, without ever having seen a single translation to that language, or having already read War and Peace in your own. There are a lot of steps you need to take before then.

I would also be pretty surprised if a biology undergrad had never touched a microscope, possibly with the exception of the most impoverished among us. I imagine most people have tried one at some point along the K-12 journey, and there are more introductory treatments of e.g. life science on the way as well.

Starting CS without having "seen or touched" a computer would be like a biology undergrad who wouldn't be able to tell you whether a dog or a tree is a plant or animal.

I don't refuse to interact with people of the wrong "tribe", I make sure to ask for their political positions on, e.g., "should interracial marriage be allowed? Should we allow trans people to change their birth certificates?"

If someone is like, "Nah, those things are bad" then I'm happy to not associate with them because I find their beliefs abhorrent. It has nothing to do with tribal affiliation and everything to do with policy.
I'm pretty sure Fusion360 is built with QT tool kit for the GUI, and uses Python for the scripting engine. Of any of the modern professional paid 3D CAD programs, it seems to be the least tethered to Windows. It would be nice if they released a proper Linux version, like Autodesk does for some of their art industry programs. NX used to have a UNIX GUI recently, but it would take a pretty major company to move off Windows to bring that back.

Solidworks made its name by being the first mainstream CAD built for Windows back when all the other 3D CAD was running UNIX workstations that cost more than a new pickup truck. Both Solidworks, and the Autodesk competitor to it, Inventor, are Windows API through and through. It is disappointing, but unsurprising that they don't do well in WINE. They went all in on Windows to their core from the very start.

I've known two people with glioblastoma (both deceased now).

It is incredibly hard to come up-to-speed on a newly diagnosed (or newly undiagnosed) medical situation.

But I think many many people will encounter it and be unprepared. They may encounter it early when a friend or family member faces the situation.

Unfortunately a lot of learning happens after the fact.

For example, just finding out if someone has glioblastoma can leave you physically or mentally debilitated. One of the people I knew had a biopsy, but that caused them to be bedridden without control of one side of their body.

So in relation to preparation, I think people should prepare. Reading articles like this one (or his other articles) can be uncomfortable, but well spent.
Sure, I'm just comparing the baseline costs of finetuning. Assuming you own the hardware and optimize the training I'm guessing you could easily get the costs significantly lower than $0.1/M tokens (considering I can get the $0.1/M right now using publicly rented GPUs, and whoever I'm renting the GPU from is still making money on me), and if you're only doing LoRA that cost would go down even further (don't have the numbers on hand because I never do LoRA finetuning, so I have no idea how much faster that is per token compared to full finetuning).

So your $2/M tokens for LoRA finetuning tells me that you either have a very (per dollar) inefficient finetuning pipeline (e.g. renting expensive GPUs from AWS) and need such a high price to make any money, or that you're charging ~20x~30x more than it costs you. If it's the latter - fair enough, some people will pay a premium for all of the extra features! If it's the former - you might want to consider optimizing your pipeline to bring those costs down. (:
