Exactly my thoughts. How anybody would take it seriously if the people behind are not known, is beyond me. Anyway I left flutter a long time ago exactly because the mentioned problems - ridiculously slow response time fixing bugs, like auto fill want working.

I do, however put in substantial input outlining my thought in detail, so I use it more like a glorified grammar checker. It helps me a lot as I'm not a good writer (as being non-native, just sufficient to be able to thrive in business environment, just not a good writer. It helps me tremendously to get my thought across efficiently.

> what about every website on the internet pre-2010

It was definitely there. Plenty of forums had "rant threads" that were efforts to quarantine shitty reactionary behavior like this. Also a lot of the healthier forums were smaller forums. I was on plenty of forums that had 10-20 folks on them that today would just be a Telegram group chat or a small Discord "server". These small spaces tend to be a lot lower on toxicity than larger fora. I was part of a few large fora like Gaia Online and they were just as toxic as today's large platforms. Managing large communities with chronological posting is really difficult and upvote based social networks were the first real networks to be able to scale to larger userbases without having hundreds of moderators (like Gaia or the large MUDs.)

> What about 4chan?

4chan is immune because the default emotional register there is indignant dismissal. Because of this it's just a matter of choosing what else to layer ontop of the indignant dismissal, like sarcasm or anger or whatnot.

> Regarding text platforms suffering more than non-text platforms, I think it's because of the lack of social cues that are otherwise there. You can infer a lot from the way someone talks, or from their body language. You can't infer much from text, which is partly why Poe's law exists.

That's an interesting theory actually. My theory was that in the age of multimedia platforms, text platforms tend to attract folks who specifically want to use text over multimedia. Generally text forums will select for folks with social or self-esteem issues. These folks are the least likely to healthily deal with their emotions or disengage positively. This leads to higher toxicity on text based platforms.
For which - why standardize around this connector and not XLR, which is the first thing that comes to mind for 48V?

Too big/bulky?
My point is that platforms should have more of a responsibility when they currently have none.

> But you're fundamentally misunderstanding the law's purpose: to protect platforms from liability for user content while preserving their right to moderate that content as they choose.

I understand that this is the purpose of the law, and I disagree with it. Section 230 has led to large platforms outsourcing most of their content to users because it shields the platform from legal liability. A user can post illegal content, engage in discrimination, harassment, etc.

> Anti-discrimination law is usually for things like public accommodations, not online forums.

Anti-discrimination law should be applicable to online forums. The average adult spends more than 2 hours a day on social media. Social media is now one of our main public accommodations.

If one of the most-used websites in the USA has an unofficial policy of discriminating against Jewish people that isn't covered by the current laws as that policy is enforced solely by users, that means the law isn't achieving its objectives of preventing discrimination.
Our user base is of a similar order of magnitude, with around 70 developers. It doesn’t seem like a large number, indeed! A small minority frequently contacts support, suggests features, etc., while the majority simply uses the product.

Siri is hot garbage, but having apps open and close near instantaneously is a productivity boost. Which was also helped by SSD, but I would say the next material change since SSD I have experienced is M processors.

Amortize the time and “focus” savings over years of using the machine, and even a couple thousand extra dollars is worth it.
Freedom to install more apps? Is that the final goal?
Speaking of everywhere... My Google results are absolutely flooded with this shit now and it's driving me crazy. It won't be long before site searching (site:reddit.ciom/r/whatever, etc.) is similarly plagued. It's very frustrating!

SEO was annoying but there was still value in the results. Now, as soon as I detect or start to believe some result is AI bullshit I immediately close the tab out.

> I joined WP Engine in 2018 because it was the one company that really did seem to be honest about who they were. Like every other company they were in it to make money, but unlike every other company they didn’t hide that fact behind abusive language. They didn’t claim I was “family.” They didn’t claim their work was virtuous and therefore somehow “better” than non-WordPress orgs. No, they said they wanted to be the biggest host and went after that with the best pay I saw in the WordPress ecosystem and interesting work on top of it.

Well said. Our agency chose WP Engine over 8 years ago because they were hands-down the best managed WordPress hosting provider. It revolutionized our WordPress hosting offerings and allowed stable, mostly headache free growth. Without the WP Engine's platform, and their investments in making WordPress hosting modular and safe we'd still be in the stone ages of dedicated/vps hosting.

What kept us as a customer for these 8 years though, has been the quality of support. It can't really be measured, but I've found their support to be unmatched and highly competent over hundreds of interactions.

We've grown over 400% with WP Engine and this entire fiasco with Matt blindsided us. Begrudgingly, we're diversifying our hosting allocations to protect against this new threat but we'd be much happier continuing with just WP Engine.
Xplat FWs are just technical debt to prove a concept. Once you find critical mass the first order of business should be converting to native so you can remove that entire layer of additional complexity. Similar to paying down student debt to minimize how much interest you wind up paying on them after getting a good job.

IMO this should be the natural order if you size use it at all, not the emergency case.
As one example take a peek at /r/LocalLLaMA[0] (I suspect you know). These people are snapping up anything and everything they can get their hands on at a reasonable price.

To your point on the P40, it's an eight year old card but fortunately Nvidia has a history of long term support (especially for "datacenter" GPUs). The Pascal series is still fully supported by the latest Nvidia driver and CUDA releases, and projects like llama.cpp are still fairly regularly adding performance optimizations for even Maxwell series GPUs!

Current V100/A100/H100/etc hardware families are not going to end up as e-waste anytime soon. In fact, compare used pricing (and demand) of GPUs to CPUs, RAM, disk, motherboards, etc from eight years ago... That hardware ends up in the trash/at e-waste recyclers much, much sooner (even with /r/homelab).

Being in the AI game themselves, it wouldn't make sense for them to give AI negative perception.
Bingo. If you threaten, or promote harm/hate speech, you're not suddenly immune from the consequences of that. It's that the platform is (generally) immune from those same consequences.
You know, that's the kind of thing that seems perfectly obvious once you've pointed it out, but it wouldn't have occurred to me.
There isn't a significant division between a a Gymnasium and Fachoberschule, because a Fachoberschule student can choose to get an Arbitur as well via an optional 13th year. And because German universities are de facto open entry, an Arbitur is all you need to be admitted.

China's vocational high schools on the other hand don't open the same doors to tertiary education that a Fachoberschule student has because they are structurally segregated away from academic students.
In fact, the causality is reversed; he's on the board due to his influence on us. Masnick wrote the Protocols not Platforms essay which inspired Dorsey to start the Bluesky project. Then Bluesky became the PBC, we launched, became independent, etc etc, and Masnick wasn't involved until the past year when we invited him to join our board.

I hope you view his writing and POV as independent from his work with us. On matters like 230 you can find archives of very consistent writing from well before joining.
I struggled with Drupal when I used it. I was responsible for taking over a crowdfunding site which had been built in Drupal and as an intermediate Wordpress and Django developer, I found Drupal’s learning curve insane and it felt like the entire ecosystem was stagnating and dying. There are a lot of Reddit posts that go something like “I took a pay cut to work on a stack other than Drupal and I’ve never been happier”. It’s also the second most hated stack after salesforce.

I don’t know if any place where Drupal has been successfully used except for large corporate blogs, which I think it seems well suited for, but I’m happy to be corrected here.

It wasn’t for me but I’m glad you like it! If you’re well suited to it I think it’s a great career path.
It's not much worse RAM, though. RTX 4090 has memory bandwidth of 1050 Gb/s. M2 Ultra is 800 Gb/s. And you can get a Mac Studio with Ultra and 128Gb of RAM for $3K or less. It's great for 70-150B models.

You're correct that it's only good for inference, but most people running local LLMs only do inference.
it's remote meeting infrastructure, so the latency is critical. When burning CDs, or playing music, it's OK to have a second or two of buffer. When doing conference call, a second of buffer means a second of latency, which means you ask a question and get a response 2 seconds back, which is pretty bad experience. And that's why conference software tries to keep latency as low as possible.

(Now, why does it produce a pop as opposed to silence/hiccup/stretched sound? probably because it was easiest to code)
If you have O(1) arbitrary-precision floating-point operations in O(1), you can do Fibonacci in O(1) by Binet's formula. But you don't, so you can't.

Also, by a similar argument, the O(log n) by matrix exponentiation is really O(n log(n)^2 log(log(n))) by Schönhage-Strassen, I think. (The sequence is exponential in n, so the number of digits is O(n).) I may have miscounted the logs.
> Today a single vehicle typically requires over 200 connections—and the number of electrical

I initially thought this was referring to the connector between the charge port on the EV and the charger base station. Had to think for a second and realized it’s the electrical connections between the various components in an EV.

Glad to know I don’t have to carry 200+ dongles in case I buy an EV.
no... you can do fibonacci as O(log n)... you cannot represent (1 + sqrt(5))/2 on a computer.
And that's because of your skin resistance. Around 50V is when voltage starts to overcome it.
It’s not a cop-out to complain, but one has to remember that complaints only mean so much. McDonald’s isn’t becoming a Michelin Star restaurant because you complain its food isn’t fancy enough either.

It's a bit dense for sure, lost me a few paragraphs in but this sentence got the point across well enough:

> It is not based on consistency with the observed data, but rather on the highest rate of appearance of the image morphology from a wide imaging parameter space.

I think the claim here is the original image effectively optimized for "cool shape" instead of accuracy.

I also had to jump halfway down the page to find the images, it was driving me crazy to read about their differences without any idea what they looked like.
If someone could do the same with Xamarin/Maui that would be awesome!

It’s going down the same path unfortunately as Flutter did.

Words are cheap.

Seems like:

- guy wants to add PR more aggressively to a code base than Flutter currently is

- isn’t clear if they have a concept of handling compatibility between fork and original

- why not be a labor organizing entity and work with the flutter team?

Some of the PR that I am aware of that are stale and could be good candidates - are difficult design decisions and stakes need to be put in the group.

It seems ill advised. This is huge amount of work with limited upside and huge downside (adding uncertainty to outsiders looking in) and tons of effort (just in infrastructure maintenance).

Edit: if I were conspiracy oriented I would think it’s to harm community. I would pay this no mind.
> Have you noticed that those discussions weren't common before people adopted GitHub?

This is objectively not true.
In practice, there are a lot of non-technical users who can navigate the Wordpress backend. I’m not saying it’s particularly well designed, just that the large install base has led to a far larger number of experienced users.
Thing is, their is literally the only mouse on the market that has this weird limitation - and there's no obvious good reason for it.

Just to clarify, the linked article about the LVCS connector is for internal electrical cabling, not for electric-vehicle charging. For Tesla's charging standard (SAE J3400), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_System
That must be only the high voltage connections, right?
Sorry, but no. As long as the rocket engine is producing thrust then the entire rocket will only feel the normal forces caused by that engine because those forces are electromagnetic in nature (electron clouds pushing against electron clouds). It's only because the rocket will be made of rigid materials (but still, made of atomic matter) that the forces are eventually communicated to the nose of the ship and everything in the ship. That "eventually" happens to be very fast because the speed of light is very fast, but it is not instantaneous throughout the ship, and that is why you feel the acceleration due to the engine's thrust.

Whereas when the engine is off the ship free-falls, and in the free-falling case any gravitational forces will have the same effect on every part of the ship at the same time -instantaneously-. Now if the ship is large enough then the gravitational field(s) it traverses won't be uniform enough, and then the ship will feel stresses ("tidal forces") as a result.
If there would be 1M flutter devs per year and on average team had 10 devs (rather rare most mobile teams would be smaller except really big apps) and development of app would take ~1 year you would expect minimum 100k new flutter apps in app store every year. That seems highly unlikely.

I’m teaching myself elixir/phoenix by building a SDLC tool inspired by Trac, the simplest tool that ever worked for me. But with CI/CD.

It has morphed in the offing into two tools. One a federated CI/CD tool and one a personal productivity tool with affordances for neurodivergent people.

Atlassian struggles with being a jack of all trades. Bamboo’s integrations make it harder for devs to create repeatable, reliable builds, not easier. I’ve seen Atlassian struggle to scale with dev count so I want something more federated. Jira is in constant danger of becoming a panopticon, using developer’s transparency as a weapon against them at review time, destroying psychological safety. Devs only use these tools if they see personal benefit or are harangued to do so. My thesis is that you need one tool for personal accountability and a separate one for team accountability both to fight Goodhart’s Law and for people with variability in their daily productivity. There are many little tools for doing bits of this but they don’t talk to each other, leaving the plate spinning up to the developer, many of whom plate spinning is onerous.

I’m hoping this will do for bug databases and possibly wikis what interactive rebase does for pull requests. Do what needs to get done, then make it make sense to others afterward.
Or it's legitimately harder to get. In high school we used to smoke weed because it was easy to get (friendly local neighborhood dealer didn't check ID) and very rarely drank alcohol because it was tricky to find.
I'm talking about companies as commercial enterprises seeking to profit from doing business. No funny business with esoteric definitions.

You say companies creating governments are the exception because usually governments which are compatible with doing business already exist. And this is in no small part because companies modify their environment to create that set of circumstance in the first place. Sometimes they create governments outright where none previously existed. Most often they do it by lobbying or bribing a government to adopt rules better for doing business. Sometimes they hire private armies to destroy and replace governments which cannot be brought into alignment with the companies.

The colonial trading companies are the most famous examples because of how extreme they were, but there are countless examples throughout history and around the world.
Companies forming governments outright, complete with new currencies, was common in the undeveloped American west. Companies hiring mercenary armies to destroy unaligned governments has happened several times in South and Central America.

Companies needing governments are like beavers needing ponds. If none suitable exists, they make one.

They most certainly are allowed to discriminate based on religion. The only laws on the books regarding religious discrimination are for employers who could potentially discriminate against their employees (or in hiring) based on their religion:

https://www.eeoc.gov/religious-discrimination

There's no law that says you can't say, run a website that only allows atheists to participate, or non-Jews, or non-Christians, or non-Muslims, or whatever religion or religious classification that you want.

Discriminating based on race or ethnicity is a different topic entirely. You can choose your religion (it's like, just your opinion, man) but you can't choose your race/ethnicity. There's much more complicated laws in that area.

You can tell they're full of shit because they can't stop tooting the green horn. It's self evident.

If they made their devices repairable, easily resellable, etc. then they wouldn't have to greenwash.

I like what I find clearest (a moving target for all sorts of reasons). I typically find recursion clearest for things dealing with terms/ASTs.
