This is what I don't get about historians reading old people's letters to each other. Most of Alexander the Great's letters that are read are fake, but for the ones that are real, did anyone ask for his consent first? What makes anyone think that we should be privy to their inmost thoughts put to stone? Even if he did, is it informed consent if he did so not knowing that billions could one day consume this idly? People really need to learn consent.
I was viewing in Safari on an M1 Max MBP with no lag. Read this and switched to Chrome and confirmed lag when scrolling. Also lagged returning upward.

It was the only page open in Chrome, freshly launched specifically for this test. Safari has a bajillion open windows and tabs. Something about how Chrome handles the page is definitely odd.

Just for fun, I also tested in Firefox, which was already open with fifteen windows, most of which have a handful of tabs. No lag there.

So there's two uses for patents. One is to keep others from doing what you're doing. The second is to keep anyone else from getting a patent on it, and then using it to keep you from doing what you're doing.

This could be (currently) used in the second way. ("Defensive" patent, as it is sometimes called.)

The problem is that patents can change hands, and in the hands of a troll, this patent could be a problem.
We're working on releasing an Alpha by later tonight. With that, you'll be able to analyze videos, ask the AI for suggestions or opinions, add dynamic text overlays based on certain objects or audio detected in the video, and transcribe the audio into subtitles.

For now, we're starting with basic adding text functionality and object/audio detection to prove to ourselves that this can work, but we plan to make Frame a feature-complete video editor with parity to things like K8ENlive or Davinci Resolve.

If you'd like to try out the Alpha when it's ready, please join our waitlist at https://frameapp.ai/ and I'll send you an invite as soon as it's ready!
Same way a shared database works across multiple client versions as you roll out a new deployment.

Or the same way two completely different processes can access the same address space with shared memory IPC.

You aren't running in the same memory space, you're just communicating with a shared resource.

I really don't get it. Everytime I read about Australian technology it's an article that I'd still find believable after replacing "Australia" with "North Korea".
I definitely feel this more than worrying about others' perception.

Paradoxically, I also often feel that some tasks are _too easy_ and won't start them because they're simple, uninteresting, or unrewarding. I feel like I can execute them perfectly, so I put off getting started.
The problem is that state cannot be expressed in words or cognition, because it isn't part of your mind. I cannot fully explain to you what it is like, I can only experience it myself.

Until you have the same experience, you will continue to doubt it in the exact way you currently are. And that's perfectly fine, and natural and still good.

It's like trying to describe a color in its actual raw experience, or describing red to a blind person. It cannot be put into words, only observed.
Australia is allergic to accountability and responsibility, especially in the corporate sector and, even more so, within government. Sweeping problems under the rug and a game of musical chairs are endemic and rampant; they form a quintessential playbook for achieving a successful career in senior corporate management or government.

Which is also why IT business are required to hold expensive insurance policies, without which they can't approach clients, and which is also why the big four consulting firms have become so popular amongst the senior management: «it is not my fault, they are the ones who did it».
Why would that matter? The tabs don't share memory. Any code doesn't run when it tries to acquire a lot that another piece of code from another tab has already acquired. The two tabs don't even need to run the same app.

It’s inherited from Britain which was and is still like that.
True, and if you look back over the last few decades of policy and legislation, from either side of politics here, the Federal Government has demonstrated just staggering incompetence with almost everything to do with technology too...
Yes, ideally this distinction can be made. But a piece of information you consider secret, if known by more than exactly one person, is merely obscure information.

Agreed, which is why I can't picture myself living in a situation that has such friction if my money goes far enough to avoid it in the future. Fwiw, I'm also on the side of not getting a membership unless you're able to go enough times at the drop-in rate to justify saving money on it, or just stick with month to month. I didn't register for an ongoing membership at mine until the cost if drop-in passes surpassed the membership and it was painful and irrational enough to finally commit longer.

I've only watched an Excel expert work their magic in person once and it was straight up sorcery. I'm glad not to need to learn it, but it was eye-opening seeing her rapidly make changes (with me not understanding what she was doing, sorta how non-experts likely perceive what we do when we help them with their personal devices) and come out with exactly what she wanted. Must have taken her about a minute and there were changes every several seconds until she was done.

While that might be literally true depending how it’s measured, a majority of employees (especially professional types) don’t pay for their insurance unless they want to cover their family.

When was that? I have been running chromium and firefox side-by-side for about 4 years now. Chromium uses more memory and crashes more. I found perhaps 1 site per year which doesn't work on firefox. Speeds are basically identical, though I use nice computers. I don't understand why Chrome has a good reputation, but I also don't understand the recent American election.
A lot of Maudslay's (and Brunel's) innovation came down to process even through the idea of standardized parts probably dated back to the French General Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval a number of decades earlier.

As you say, this subsequently applied in the case of flintlocks.

But, yeah, everything exists as part of an ecosystem and if you're not at the right time, your brilliant idea probably won't fly. I've been an IT analyst off and on for many years and I've seen this happen often.
You should write your own benchmarks! I've been using mitata for microbenchmarks which is what the bun and deno people use for their cool benchmark charts. It's fast and tries to call the system GC between runs which helps reduce bias. github: https://github.com/evanwashere/mitata

I find iterating in mitata super fun and a little addictive. It's hard to write a representative micro-benchmark, but optimizing them is still useful as long as you aren't making anything worse, which is often easy to avoid. I recently used mitata-benchmark-guided optimization to rewrite a core data structure at Notion for a 5% latency decrease on a few endpoints at p90/95/99. One of our returning interns used it to assess serialization libraries and she found one 3x faster. a+++ would recommend

Mostly in jest but the use case where Sheets falls over for me is copying formulas to the right…
I wonder if using two "arms" under the board would result in better movement - you'd need two motors to control the angle of each arm, and some way of extending the arms, but then you'd be able to use one arm to move any required pieces out of the way, while the other arm moves the intended piece around. You'd use a polar coordinate system, instead of a cartesian one, to keep track of where the arms are and where they need to move.

Plus, you'd be able to move the pieces off the board when they're captured.

The cause and effect are backwards here. Web3 didn't create a generation of disaffected, nihilistic young men who want to tear down a system and society that has given them endless scorn - that generation was just the people who were attracted to web3.

Personal memories can be made in innumerable ways. The absence of tickets doesn't mean memories, or physical representations of memories, are going away.

As for academic interest, I have to imagine there's a digital repository of playbills or the information therein somewhere that's easily searchable. After all, these types of resources exist for other performances like pro wrestling and mixed martial arts in the form of cagematch & sherdog. I may not have my ticket stub from my first match, but I can still look it up by venue, year and the matches I remember. I can find contemporary news reports and reviews. This can be supplemented with web forum discussions and other social media, blogs, etc. people crave this type of discussion, documentation and artifacts that prove their fandom. I don't think they care about the medium.
I find the healthiest thing to do is to work remote and move around your house doing errands while occasionally returning to your computer to type some thoughts on your mind and then return back to errands.

Incidentally, I try my hardest to pronounce Chinese names correctly, as I study Chinese.

You would write “Yang” and not “Young” (assuming that’s their name and they didn’t change it to “Young” after migrating), and you would leave out the pinyin vowel markers.

Since many Chinese carry a western name for the convenience of having something westerners can pronounce, that can be a safe fallback.

this i agree with, except that effects are "residual". it's not improving for most people on the bottom 1/2. it's brutal out here.

I read a Virginia Woolf recently, To The Lighthouse. In which the mother describes her teenage children as having "incurable laziness". Which I found hilarious.
I had a similar experience with my GP. I was essentially dismissed outright (in surprising contrast to an otherwise dynamic/vigorous interest in my health) and am planning on revisiting this with a different GP soon.

While I allow for myself just being ignorant, wrong and vulnerable to working myself up into health scares, I couldn’t help but wonder if men looking into HPV vaccines are brushing up against a doctrinal problem, in that whatever protocols and literature exist for the med field don’t study and don’t mention male-HPV interactions enough to warrant action (or even interest) from GPs as a group.

TL;DR: Melbourne spent over $1.5B developing their very own tap to pay public transport card from scratch, which was and remains slow, glitchy and is already outdated (eg doesn't support payment with contactless credit/debit cards). Meanwhile, Sydney deployed an off the shelf system from Cubic at a fraction of the cost and the rollout was about as smooth as it gets.
What if setting fire to billions of dollars is good for the economy?

What happens when taxes are so high, we have an egress of businesses from regions within the US causing collapse of local communities like saw with Detroit?
Hmm, very thought-provoking. But doesn't that make your activities more vulnerable to regulation?

> self-driving cars are just cheaper taxis.

From a business perspective, why on Earth would you price it dramatically cheaper? Especially when you have to recoup R&D costs, need to show investors a profit, customers have already shown a willingness to pay market price, and maintenance on the cars and the in-car customer service agents isn't free?

And we see that today in the app - Waymo is often more expensive that Lyft or Uber.
Ah I see, in the context os Section 230 it would be the new categorization of the party that is no longer considered a publisher and no longer subject to the liabilities that come with being a publisher.
Maybe we need to, I dunno, rethink the way we work in general. Stop chasing silver bullets and admit that movement is medicine. Reading articles like this reminds me of the people I've watched exhaust every possible option for weight loss save for mindful eating and exercise.
> The researchers found no association between time spent standing and the risk of cardiovascular disease, suggesting standing desks and similar work postures might not be enough to stave off the health problems associated with sitting around.

I always assumed it was also probably pretty good for my back and neck - I'd love to see a study on that.
'The best posture is the next posture,' as they say.
On the bright side, my standing desk is great as an adjustable desk.

It's nice to be able to get the height just right.
Just wanted to add, I read your product page — love the idea and simplicity of the overall design! This idea was the first thing I thought of wanting as a feature. Essentially I play a midi controller as a keyboard connected to a Zynthian running Pianoteq, and it'd be really nice to be able to hear that same sound back on a whim.

To be clear it isn't in any way a deal breaker as the Zynthian's CPU isn't quite good enough to run Pianoteq in the best quality anyway, and moving some MIDI off to a DAW later to create a higher quality version seems like a great option — just it'd be really cool to be able to play things back the same way I played them initially :)

She'll be right, mate.
I would guess the opposite. Less energy pumped into the fans running at 100%.
How does this affect data-only devices such as modems? I don't have the IMEI unfortunately so I can't check until later with the online checker, but I have a Netgear LB2120 that I bought online (not from a carrier), it's only data and SMS, so not intended to make calls. I only use it at events (three or four weeks of the year) so haven't tried since the switch-off.

I'm going to be very pretty pissed if this is blocked because of a stupidly-drafted law...
Last ditch effort me thinks. I was getting the same with 23andme in the last year when all the drama was happening.
My concern is the behavior shaping is not a simple, single variable equation. Many times these policies have knock on effects that produce a worse outcome for those struggling.

There is something like 50-60 metros in the US with more than 1 million people. By your definition only a few of these are "cities". Either way, the point still stands that they are largely unsuitable for a functional bus system.
L6 for Amazon is Senior, L4 is mid and L4 is junior. Below that are the non “blue badge” employees - factory workers, drivers, etc.

I would think that about 20-30% are “senior”. I worked at AWS for 3.5 years until last year. I would assume the distribution is about the same thing for most other tech companies.

Doing a quick bit of research, you’re not to far off. My back of the envelop math is about 7.5% work at FAANG + Microsoft. Maybe 10% if you include other companies that pay in that range
For what it’s worth to was in college in the late 2000s early 2010s and parents coming to party wasn’t really a thing at my university (private, research university).

That being said, both my parents died when I was a young child so I would’ve given anything to have some drinks with them as adults on equal footing. I don’t particularly find it odd that parents (humans too, after all) want to occasionally let loose.
Only if your culture measures age from conception instead of birth.
Lol I was just about to say this. It seems unlikely that someone that has transcended their ego would choose to spend their free time telling others what an accomplishment it has been.

Everyone typically has their imagined "edge", the thing that they believe makes them special and unique and superior in some way. Nerds look at jocks and say "they're athletic, but I am the smart one." Blue collar people look at rich people and say "They have a lot of money, but I know hard work and have principles." Everyone has some internal mental defense for why other people that are outperforming them aren't actually "better" than them because, hey, we're the main character!

It seems OP has just replaced one of these with a different version regarding ego shedding.

Butts in seats is a very poor way to get productivity. It is, however, management enforced. Management only pretends to care about productivity. Until managerial ideology shifts we'll never bother.

I think countries beyond the US have a much better prospect of doing this.

Yeah moving to standing desk basically got rid of lower back pain. I didn't do it for the heart.
I think self-reflection is an underdeveloped skill. Everything from weight management to pre-occupations (or even addictions) to getting work done to eating healthy —these are all problems that require self-reflection to recognize.

And then once the issue has been identified, the next thing to do is seek help. One of the great lies that everyone believes is that nobody understands me. I’m on my own. I have to fix this myself.

Bullshit.

So whether you just talk to a friend, attend a support group, pay for professional help, etc., these are all very effective at helping those who desire change to actually change.
Let’s be honest, you don’t need the best talent to build yet another SaaS CRUD app or most of the maintenance work done in BigTech.
More traffic = more transportation services provided, so your first point isn't inherently bad.

I agree we should invest in more walkable infrastructure (your second point), but that doesn't happen for many reasons, and AVs can also assist that process by eg removing parking spaces and making buses cheaper.

The remaining noise and pollution concerns call for building robotaxis that are quieter and lighter-weight, which seems to be what's actually occurring.

I admit his shallow dismissal of mass traffic fatalities as "marketing" and "corporate profits" immediately destroyed all credibility in my eyes. Millions of grieving parents aren't helped if some video 'dunks on' tech companies with irrelevant non-argument quips, what actually helps is (controversial opinion) to stop the killing. AVs are the only realistic path to that world.
I honestly never thought to click on those! Thanks very much.

Probably C/C++/Java stuff. Backwards compatibility is pretty good there among all of those, and a type checker helps a lot when modernizing.
