It is deeper than what you are saying, which is the point of my post. Change the UI and the business model they rely on breaks. It isn’t a UI issue but a fundamental business model issue. Even if they wanted to change their model, there is zero chance they could replace that revenue quickly enough with different revenue. They are addicted to ad sales to the point where it is a wholesale reliance. Like an alcoholic that has a heart attack shortly after kicking alcohol, they can’t change now. They should have disrupted their own business ten years ago when the writing was on the wall.

To summarize: the UI is a symptom of the larger issue.
I think this is incredibly common. I currently have my wisdom teeth which are not bothering me at all, and I have received completely contrary advice with one dentist gently encouraging me to have them removed at my next convenience, and one telling me to not really worry about it. Since I suffer no pain or discomfort I have decided to just leave them be for the time being.

I am a hands-on generalist developer. Co-founded blockchain analytics startup, built backend/infra up from zero. Also worked in gamedev (industry and indie) as a graphics/engine programmer. Participated in competitive programming in the past (two-time ICPC finalist) and present (Kazakhstan's 2024 finals). The best fit is a tech co-founder/early employee role at a frugal startup - love to wear all the hats at once.

At this time I am specifically looking for offline/hybrid opportunities with relocation/visa support. Starting remotely is fine, but permanently remote position is probably not wanted, unless for some unique opportunity - while I do enjoy the freedoms of remote work, working remotely from across country borders was isolating.
I'm no expert, but I invested in NVDA this week.

So you see it more of a matter of time until the next leap, depending on how long it takes for hardware bottlenecks to be addressed? I'm assuming we're talking on at least the order of years from your perspective? Based on how long it would take for new chips or some type of training asic.
I looked into this "ClearChoice" company and unsurprisingly it's private equity owned through a chain of sketchy intermediaries.

If you're having any sort of medical or other work done make sure the company is not PE owned or affiliated. The best way to check that I've found is to look for press releases.

In this case there's a press release from 2020[0] about "The Aspen Group" acquiring ClearChoice. The Aspen Group then is owned by PE firms[1] and is already being sued in multiple states for deceptive practices that hurt patients.

Nope. Don't want to be on surveillance lists, even with an anon account. Was researched in the 80s, before we knew enough about the antibody side to make a good go of it. then dropped for obvious reasons (it didn't work which makes sense in retrospect given the crude conjugation strategy plus the restrictedness of the warhead side). That's all I'll say.

Probably enough info for you to figure it out if you're smart. Don't wind up in jail.

Even more than ever, the disconnect between _how_ tools impact the public sphere and _how_ they are selected, curated, and governed is more crucial than ever.

When I say "governed" I mean a broad definition which is perhaps more akin to asking the question: "what kind of influences do we _want_ in play?" Spoiler alert: it isn't only governments that do governance; corporations do it too. Governance is an inevitable result of an organization or social hierarchy acting in the world. The complete opposite (abdication of responsibility) is anarchy. (One more thing that people may confuse: a libertarian philosophy is indeed a governance strategy, even though it is more hands-off than some: it won't work well in a Hobbesian "state of nature" since markets can't function well without some form of power (i.e. authority) that can enforce laws (such as property rights) and reduce violence and threats to manageable levels.)

> We collaborated extensively with the news industry and carefully listened to feedback from our global publisher partners, including Associated Press, Axel Springer, Condé Nast, Dotdash Meredith, Financial Times, GEDI, Hearst, Le Monde, News Corp, Prisa (El País), Reuters, The Atlantic, Time, and Vox Media.

A diversity of information sources is necessary but not sufficient for understanding the world well. It is too early to tell what kind of algorithmic balancing act OpenAI might or might not use for the information sources above. But money talks, so my expectations are not high.

It is not in the public interest to prioritize for-profit "news" organizations such as News Corp. There is just not enough overlap between the Murdochian (Molochian) financial incentives and the needs of an informed citizenry.

Serving the public interest is a waning part of OpenAI's charter, if it remains at all. It is instructive to compare how a U.S. citizen can run/vote for a local school board against what it would take for that same citizen to influence an OpenAI decision. My point: it matters relatively little what OpenAI says; what matters more is their charter, structure, incentives, and mechanisms.

What are the chances that an a-democratic, techno-elite organization (like OpenAI) will lead us boldly and wisely into the future? What about the current slate of western democracies? I'm pessimistic on both. My take is that we don't seem to have the institutions, political will, or understanding to be up to the task of handling AI transitions well. It could go in any number of directions.
This might sound stupid but I refuse to go to dentists that have "too nice" of an office.

Over the years I have lived in several places and had a variety of dentists and one common theme that sticks with me, the nicer and higher tech the office is, the more procedures they are going to recommend you. They need to pay for the equipment and office somehow.

I've had one dentist say I need 3 cavities filled. That I needed laser treatments, extra cleanings, etc. They made it sound like my teeth were going to fall out of my head. I was going to Brazil in a few months and so i decided to wait until I was there to get the work done.

The dentists there took xrays, etc and didn't find any problems. I even went to another dental clinic and the same thing. They had no idea what that dentist thought was wrong.

When I came back to the states i went to another dentist. Instead of being on a top floor with an army of technicians and the fanciest machines like the first one, this dentist had a small older office. He did the cleanings himself and again he found no problems and told me I had very healthy mouth and gums.

This has happened to me before when i went away to college my childhood dentist said I had cavities that I needed to fill. When i got to college and went to the dentist there, they couldn't find a problem.
Yes, but the theorem is meant to explain what can happen in the universe over long time scales.

The point is that there isn't enough time in the universe for all the random stuff to happen that scientists pin on random chance. The theorem was memorable, but a cop out.
I kinda feel the opposite about some specializations in medicine. Why does a psychiatrist need to know about the bone structure of the ankle? They're never going to use half their medical training.
Fair warning, I haven't dug that deep into compatibility issues or 32 bit gaming compatibility but it's definitely something to experiment with and for the most part you can find out for free before making a purchasing decision.

First and foremost, it's just worth checking if your game has a native port: https://store.steampowered.com/macos People might be surprised what's already available.

With Wine syscall and Rosetta x86 code translation, issues do pop up from time to time though, like games that have cutscenes that are encoded as Windows Media Player specific formats, or any other media codecs which aren't immediately available since it's not like games advertise those technology requirements anywhere and you may encounter video stuttering or artifacts since the hardware is obviously dramatically different than what the game developers were originally developing against and there's things happening in the background that an x86 Windows system never does. This isn't stuff that's overly Mac specific since it usually impacts Linux equally but it's a hurdle to jump that you don't have to deal with in native Windows. Like I said, playing Windows games outside of Windows is just a different set of pain points and you have to be able to tolerate it. Some people think it's worth it and some people would rather have higher game availability and keep the pain of Windows. Kudos to Valve with creating a linux based handheld and the Wine and Proton projects for improving this situation dramatically though.

Besides the Game Porting Toolkit (which was originally intended for game developers to create native application bundles that could be put on the App Store), there's also Crossover for Mac that does their own work towards resolving a lot of these issues and they have a compatibility list you can view on their site: https://www.codeweavers.com/ and alternatively, some games run acceptably inside virtualization if you're willing to still deal with Windows in a sandboxed way. Parallels is able to run many games with better compatibility since you're actually running Windows, though last I checked DX12 was a problem.
>Also, strictly speaking, it's not a "regular expression" but a "regex"

And regex is short for regular expression, so you've essentially said nothing.
My wife, who is a recent immigrant to the US, when she goes to get her teeth cleaned here is what happens: dental hygeniest does there thing, X-rays are taken that weren't asked for, dentist come in to review the photos, sure enough her mouth is falling apart and she has loads of cavities, then they want to discuss a treatment plan. When she gets home we discuss it and agree $8000 in Invisalign is a bit excessive. Then we promise not to use that dentist ever again, try another one for the next cleaning, where the cycle continues.
Well the whole point is that you have some edge that the "big guys" cannot compete with or you have discovered an opportunity they have not (making you ripe for acquisition).

New successful businesses are being created all the time. We just focus on the ones that have already been successful for a long time.
> Putting that into a diesel work truck seems like re-inventing the locomotive, with a massive battery pack.

Sorry I am not following this conclusion. Ramcharger is doing this next year. Massive pulling capacity and acceleration of an EV drivetrain, regular battery for the size of vehicle, and small electricity generating engine to keep the battery charged.

I mean, in several models, including the current most-likely one (last I heard) it effectively is finite. Eventually no new planets or stars can get created, and then some time after that, no atoms can exist.

Will the "universe" exist after that? Kind of a philosophical question, but nothing interesting will exist _in_ the universe.
When I was 12, I was scheduled by my regular dentist to have two cavities filled. It was the first time I had anything negative in a dental checkup. We were very poor, so my dad was pissed that it was going to be almost $400 to get them filled. He found a different dentist that was supposed to be a bit cheaper, and I went to that one instead. He was shocked to hear that I had been scheduled for two fillings. Since I was a new patient, he did x-rays, which showed zero decay. The dentist that lied about me having cavities is still in practice today more than 20 years later, and has 4.5 stars on Google.

I fear there's not really a good way to vet Dentists effectively since most people probably never find out that they've been scammed for years. I'd love to learn some new strategies though.

You need a Technical Writer. You have developers that have trained extensively to talk to computers often in multiple languages. And it is hard enough to write documentation for other developers. Asking them to create documentation talking to users, system administrators, DevOps and management are even more dialects because they speak in their own jargon, and it costs a lot of their very expensive time.

I know technology, hardware, software, firmware and more. In tech, medical, aerospace, automotive and IT industries. I can do the translating for developers so they can concentrate on making the hard stuff.

I also know user experience (UX) I can guide you to make better user interfaces and keep you from making those mistakes that cripple many products.

I'm a software engineering manager with a bottom-up, collaborative style, focused on building and supporting resilient, empathetic, business-aware engineering teams who love what they do. I've worked in software since ~2011 and have worked with many tech stacks during that time- from PHP to Scala and Next.js to Rails. I've been fully remote since 2016 and have hired and managed globally remote team members at multiple companies. While I've spent the majority of my career in venture-funded b2b SaaS, my goal now is to work at a company that's not venture-funded.

My approach centers on 1:1s, transparent retros, and fostering a deep understanding of the business purpose behind the work we do. If this sounds like the type of culture that you have or wish to build, I'd love to hear from you and learn how I can support your mission and the team helping you accomplish it.

My family and I are currently located in the Orlando, FL area, but are actively looking to relocate to somewhere in Texas, elsewhere in Florida, or Tennessee, or we’re open to international locations as well.
I guess they realize Tesla phone + starlink is better than anything they have.
I had a similar experience -- went to a new dentist, they found two "cavities", tried to hard-sell me into getting them filled right then. I declined, never went back to that practice, and 10 years later my teeth are perfectly fine.

#notalldentists, of course, but there are certainly unscrupulous ones out there, and not just a few.
1) When someone is unhappy and you ask for questions, they will often ask the question they think you will find most uncomfortable to answer. They don't have much power but they can make you squirm.

2) If someone is still drinking the google juice and believes executives have their interests at heart, they may well believe enough in the "culture of transparency" that if they're worried about layoffs they ask about it at an all-hands.

3) They might suspect you're full of it and that your response to this question will be a litmus test

My guess is one of those three
How to stay in control of Apple's AI writing tools
Fun fact about that intersection vs many intersections. Most intersections around Boston will give pedestrians the walk light automatically on a cycle, and the "push to walk" buttons don't actually affect the cycle. At that intersection, you do need to press them to get the walk cycle. I once stood there for several cycles thinking how clever I was for knowing that the walk sign goes on automatically, staring at someone else across the intersection who was also standing there thinking how clever they were knowing that walk signs go on automatically before we both realized we were idiots and finally hit the walk button.
Apple has gotten into Windows and PC territory with their naming for chips and models. Kind of funny to see the evolution of a compact product line and naming convention slowly turn into spreadsheet worthy comparison charts.

That all said, I only have an M1 and it's still impressive to me.
There is a particularly nice geometric interpretation of attention I just realised recently in a flash of enlightenment, best explained with an interactive Desmos plot (black dot is draggable):

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3rtqsyapxo

The above assumes the columns of K are normalised but bear with me. K and V together form a vector database. V are the payloads, each row containing a vector of data. K describes the position of these points in space, on the surface of a hypershpere. The query vector describes the query into the database: the vector direction describes the point in space that's being queried, the vector magnitude describes the radius of the query. The result is the weighted average of vectors from V, weighted by their distance from the query vector scaled by the query radius (which has a smooth Gaussian falloff). A recent paper from Nvidia I recommend, which derives a significant speedup by normalising vectors to a hypershpere: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.01131v1

I don't understand the distinction you are making: two couples (4 people) meeting at a restaurant is, to me, equally social as one couple going to another couple's house to eat dinner.
> I've entertained this idea for some time, but I can't really see how they can develop into full blown general curse words.

I think what you mean by "full blown general curse words" is what I'd actually call "faded dying curse words" if what you mean is that it's something you could say in casual conversation without people thinking less of you.

By the point that a curse word is used for emphatic punctuation, it's because the people using it don't actually believe the word holds real power to do harm, it just carries residual power because of a cultural memory of a time where it was taboo to say the word.

So I think these slurs would only become part of a regular persons vocabulary of merely 'rude' words if regular people stopped thinking they were doing real harm by uttering them.
The dentist earns a few hundred, and the patient has a permanently-damaged health in the case of a tooth that was, in fact, healthy.

Salary: ~USD130k / year

I'm a senior full-stack developer with an aspiration for team/product/engieering lead or CTO-like position. For ~7 years I was co-founder and CTO of an ed-tech company called: amy.app . My co-founder and I scaled the company to about 25 employees. Before that I gained a PhD in Human Robot Interaction at the University of Oxford (in combination with UC-Canterbury). Currently I'm exploring how LLMs, in particular vision and audio, can be used to automate back office jobs. I'm very product/customer focused and pragmatic. I like to move super fast. My dream environment is an early-stage/full-remote startup.

PS: To demonstrate my speed: Here are two LLM project I fully(!) developed within 48h. It even got some traction on HN: https://www.line-items.com and https://josefs-picture-book.brandstetter.io
PPS: I'll be in NYC between 15-21.Nov. Just in case someone want's to meet
Unfortunately there's nothing new about this scam; it happened to one of my dad's friends 20 years ago. I think it's wise to treat anything you are told by a dental or healthcare professional with a healthy dose of skepticism as your interests are often misaligned.
Perhaps not in our observable universe, but in the space of all possible physics that could take place and / or beyond the observable universe if it actually is infinitely big there, perhaps it can? (as in, anything can happen, there will be copies of the Earth with subtle differences somewhere there, Boltzmann brains appearing purely out of quantum fluctuations, etc...)
It's not about what they will say but what they won't say. When companies are confident they won't need to do layoffs soon, CEOs can and do say something to that effect instead of "If we are making companywide decisions, we’ll definitely let you know".
What if something in monkey psychology causes them to hit the keyboard with their fist or palm every five minutes or so of typing? What if they regularly lapse into just pressing one key over and over? It seems very unlikely to me that even with infinite monkeys a work would be generated, because they're not actually random number generators.
