> But I like how I can easily keep the whole language in my head.

I genuinely do not think this can be emphasized enough.

I love tools which just manipulate some problem space in a simple, effective way, with a small number of primitives.

If you can define a simple set of primitives that combine to cover your entire problem space, and explain them effectively to your user, you're golden.

If common operations require some combination of primitives you can define syntactic sugar/macros/functions/etc. that cover your common operations, and explain to your users what these functions do in terms of primitives.

But all too often today the exact opposite design happens: the tutorial/manual/etc. will start by explaining the common operations, which all look cute and simple, and get you started. But if you try to bend the behavior of the tool even slightly, to cover some uncommon case, you end up digging through "Advanced" section of manuals, trying to understand lofty abstractions and trying random combinations of knobs which break for hard to diagnose reasons.

So you, just wanting to get some work done, give up on tool X and pick up tool Y, which is designed the same way, but happens to include your use case in the "common" set of operations.

It's all a frustrating and disempowering experience.

Awk just tells you everything it can do. You can learn all of it in an afternoon. If it fits your use case it's a godsend. If it doesn't, you'll know to reach for some other tool.
My view is that it's just a change in consciousness. Just like closing your eyes does not reset your sight, sleeping does not reset your brain. You just turn off some of your senses

>I feel that this is pretty well established as a misleading metric https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0609/what-the-un...

I fail to see how it's "misleading". U3 doesn't include people who don't want a job. That seems... fine? If you don't want a job, and don't have a job, why should you be factored into the health of the labor market? Isn't it more misleading to lump people who want a job but can't find a job, with people who don't want a job and aren't working?

>but has it caught up? https://www.bankrate.com/banking/federal-reserve/wage-to-inf...

The linked article says:

>Source: Bankrate's Wage To Inflation Index using the Department of Labor's employment cost index (ECI) and consumer price index (CPI)

Using BLS's weekly wage data adjusted by CPI gets the opposite conclusion, so my guess is that there's something funky going on with the employment cost index. For one, it includes benefits, so if health insurance costs go down, then "average income" (as computed by bankrate's index) will go down, even if your take-home is the same. At best, the only thing you can conclude from that is "employers' spending on employees is rising slower than inflation", which is slightly different than "employees' incomes are rising slower than inflation".

How does the Late Join Recap feature work? The gif shows a google meet window, but in my experience of joining late, none of the previous audio or chat messages are available (at least in the UI, I never checked the API https://developers.google.com/meet/api/guides/artifacts but I doubt a random participant would have access to it).
I think it’s less about companies getting ready for scrutiny (although that’d be a great side effect) and more about giving angels and other early stage investors better access to secondary capital so they can reinvest the proceeds. The UK is not awash with liquidity right now.

This is an incredible start. The potential is immense, yes there arekinks, but in 10 years?
Yes it's a large chunk, but not everything! Marc had a comment on bluesky regarding this:

> Many SQL aggregations are monotonic operations (e.g. MAX, SUM, etc) that can be partially completed on each node and then post-merged. Some (e.g. DISTINCT) can be transformed into monotonic ops with some effort. Some aren't possible to do this way. (Ref on monotonicity: arxiv.org/pdf/1901.01930)

The benefit of this is that a lot more work is done _close_ to the data. The trend is that bandwidth is getting larger in data centers, but latency isn't improving at the same rate. Reducing the number of round trips between QP and storage greatly improves the overall query latency, even if you have to do more work on the storage.

> does anyone like these inputs?

We've A/B tested a slider against a textbox with plus and minus buttons (banking, on mobile) and the latter seemed to work better (as in fewer users cancelled the flow).

I'm not pretending this finding can be generalised, though.
My partner books a lot of travel for people who travel a lot, and while some of this is broadly true, I think the devil is in the details. They get a lot of preferences from people who arguably should only care about their time, but in reality also have comfort preferences.

When you say that shortest/fewest stopovers/shortest stops are all synonyms for efficiency, this is true, but also misses human factors. Some people prefer a single flight at nearly all costs, some people prefer to have shorter flights with stopovers even if the total time spent is slightly longer. Ask someone if they'd rather have a 45 minute stopover or a 1.5 hour stopover and I bet most would choose the latter, despite taking more time.

> time of day?? Easy, just add it to your request (works in sim too).

This also misses the fact that everything is about tradeoffs. I'd like a flight after 9am, the tool tells me that will be A$500, oh yeah, you know what I don't mind flying at 8:30am for A$200.

I think for a tool like this to work beyond a specific audience of optimisation nerds who only care about their time, it needs to treat everything as negotiable, and then present sensible alternatives outside of spec. Sacrifice time for lower stress, sacrificing seat preference for sooner flight, sacrificing airline preference based on price, sacrificing destination based on availability.

Being close to someone doing this job, and having travelled a fair bit of long haul over the last few years, I know that "efficiency" is very nuanced with personal preferences, that most people don't give even a fraction of the required information to be able to actually do this well and back and forth is necessary.

I wish you all the best of luck, if you can make it work, great!
The interior of this place looks like something from The Last of Us. We had a client make a 360º tour of it ages ago, and they let us use it on our examples page. It's the last example here: https://seekbeak.com/examples/

> I'm curious roughly how old you are.

50s.

Note that I grew up around guns, and most areas I have lived in while in the US are gun friendly.

In my family and peer group, gun safety was taught at a very young age, and it was taught strictly — guns weren’t to be treated like toys, don’t even appear to mishandle a gun (e.g., by flagging someone, even if obviously unloaded), and don’t wield a weapon unless you’re willing to pull the trigger and neutralize/kill them (n.b., avoiding the situation or running away is often the best option).

That said, I know of three people (not close to me, but in my wide circle of acquaintances) who have had their guns confiscated by LEOs, each time by a spurned spouse who alleged that they were in danger or the gun owner was a danger to themselves, and each time was a generous interpretation of the circumstances, imho.

> there had been 8 or 9 incidents of newsworthy gun violence in my fairly close contacts.

If you don’t mind me asking, was there a common theme to the incidents, or was it just random stuff?

> I'm not meaning to come off as a troll jumping in to focus on guns as a topic.

There is also a lot of impact from immigration that the US has that Europe has not. Immigrants tend not to be at the high end. The US has had a large influx of immigrants (around 14% of the whole population right now) vs just 6% for Europe. (from quick Google checks.) I'm not saying that is good or bad, but if you keep adding at the lowest end of income you increase the inequality if the most wealthy are experiencing gains.

>But sometimes it's the only way to enact change.

>In my ideal world, accountability would be these rich bastards getting hauled into congress and charged for the abuses their companies inflict on American citizens.

My point is that these rich bastards are playing by the rules the American citizens set up. American citizens have the power to change those rules if they want, but cant agree on anything they think is better. People like to imagine a grand corporate conspiracy while ignoring half the population that want the opposite thing.

In my mind, it is the same type of vigilantism that justifies shooting up a school, LGBT club, or killing women who wont date you.

I mean, Shiren is a roguelike designed from the ground up for console. I went back and tried the original Shiren (Mystery Dungeon 2) on the Super Famicom via an emulator, and it's amazing how much they just nailed the balance. In some ways it's simpler than Rogue, but in other way it's deeper.

The folks at Chunsoft made some impressive games, and they single handedly kept the flame of the commercial Roguelike alive for decades (at least in Japan).
I'm sorry you buy into all the misleading nonsense from the prepper gun lobby..

They did widen the definition of dealers, but it's still "a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business to predominantly earn a profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms."

So casually selling guns to friends and family is fine and doesn't require a license or a background check unless your state requires it.

> They killed this guy over it. https://saf.org/atf-swat-raid-that-killed-arkansas-man-raise...

He had bought over 150 guns in the past 3 years, signed forms for each of them that he was buying them for his own use, and then immediately turned around and sold them, several to undercover Feds. He'd post up at gun shows with a table full of guns and then sell them for cash without paperwork. 6 of the guns he sold were found at crime scenes.. the result of the raid was unfortunate but the dude was exactly who should be targeted by laws like this.

Seriously, read the search affidavit if you think it was somehow inappropriate to target him: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vjer4Tr0SJhe6ZzkUDgkjaho4PH...

It was already partially killed when in 2017 YouTube switched all unlisted videos to private.

Which I now just realize why they did that : a lot of people didn't understand the difference.

Sadly, a lot of other people did understand the difference, and did not expect this kind of switcheroo, and now there's a bunch of effectively dead links covering more than a decade of videos.
Yes, we create written transcripts for those folks with diminished auditory capabilities because we think that it is important to be as accessible as possible. In fact many who do not have auditory challenges choose to read instead of listen. That is their choice.

Where are you seeing LLM/AI features in day to day Google usage?

It's conspicuously absent on my Google Home speaker, the one place where I really wish for it. I don't see it summarizing emails in the way Apple does; I can ask it about my email in the Gemini app, but that seems like the wrong way around for me.

On the other hand, I use Copilot at work (sometimes backed by GPT-4, sometimes by Claude), Meta AI several times per day for fun (in WhatsApp chats with friends, and it is fun because it's not been trained to be holier than the pope about every single issue, controversial or not), and try Gemini once every 3-6 months to see if it has improved. So far, it hasn't.

And I really want Gemini to succeed! Just being integrated with Google and my mail, calendar, contacts etc. should make it so much more useful than the competition, but Google apparently just refuses to compete.

If you need to read something like this, consider it a mildly bad sign.

If you think this transactionally, it may actively hurt your ability to build these relationships.

Simply be nice, be on time, work hard. Treat everyone, boss, colleague or subordinate with high degree of respect. Remember that they are human beings and have families, and respect that. Consider everyone in your company as a member of a team working for a common goal, and presume positive intent. Treat competitors and vendors with respect and act ethically. Just have good manners and empathy, really. This is much better because it works universally, not just in professional relationships.

Hm. Back when I was working on game physics engines this might have been useful.

In impulse/constraint mechanics, when two objects collide, their momentum changes in zero time. An impulse is an infinite force applied over zero time with finite energy transfer. You have to integrate over that to get the new velocity. This is done as a special case. It is messy for multi-body collisions, and is hard to make work with a friction model. This is why large objects in video games bounce like small ones, changing direction in zero time.

I wonder if nonstandard analysis might help.
100% agree!

I basically explain this by comparing my life (US of A) to my sisters (EU).

> The benefit of this is that a lot more work is done _close_ to the data.

But isn't that fundamentally at odds with the central idea of disaggregation

> At a fundamental level, scaling compute in a database system requires disaggregation of storage and compute. If you stick storage and compute together, you end up needing to scale one to scale the other, which is either impossible or uneconomical.

So either you can get good perf by doing the work close to data, or get good scalability by separating compute and data. But I can't see how you can do both.
Medians mean nothing in a society that has a bimodal distribution of wealth.

In the middle you have some people working trades still.
