> Denigrating someone expressing their personal opinion seems absurd. (…) The commenter just described their threshold, they didn't judge other people.

My sentence does not judge the person, it criticises the belief. Learn to differentiate or you’ll be doomed to a life of ad hominem attacks and taking things personally.

If person A says they love spiders and person B replies they find spiders repulsive, there’s no value judgement passed on person A.

My remark was not a commentary on yourself, your world view, the author, or your approval of them. I don’t know you.

> I prefer to die with autonomy and dignity as well

Who wouldn’t? By itself that statement is meaningless. What’s in question is how one defines the terms.

I invite you to take a closer look at that quote and understand what it means to the people who live those situations. Let’s exaggerate to make a point: If someone said they refused to be treated by a black doctor even if their life depended on it, and followed up with the remark they would make sure to die with dignity, do you not see how that would be insensitive to black people? A writer, especially an ostensibly good one, would understand that basic sentence structure.

Again, that is a purposeful exaggeration to make a point. I’m not making a remark on yourself or the author, I am disagreeing with the belief.
My understanding was that he did a very good job. There's a reason VMWare has all these customers for Broadcom to now lose.

He hasn't done anything illegal. Being asked to resign or forced to by impeachment are more likely.

The Path of Love begins with exercising our free will to choose to not be a selfish ahole. Suppression of our selfish urges is the first step to fully overcoming them, which is the process of purifying one's soul and, therefore, even the potential to vice.

"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God."

That is the highest point of human self-evolution, though precious few even attempt it, much less recognize a person who has done so. And so few believe it to be possible that even those of us who try are in a small minority.

Really? Seems like a way to make it really low effort to decrease competition by industrial harakiri.
“Instructions” as in directions for accomplishing a task and “instructions” as the binary signals we send to a CPU to process are not the same.

CPU instructions may very well not be intentional. Do you know every instruction that your compiler spits out?

My point is that calling software just “instructions” is overly reductive.

They very fact that CPU instructions can have semantic meaning shows that.
A lot of things make much more sense (with some accompanying loss of hope) when you realize that humanity is about as dumb as it’s possible for a species to be and still develop a sophisticated technological civilization. We’re right on the ragged edge of what our species’ biology allows.

This follows from the simple fact that evolution happens on much longer timelines than human history. We’re pretty much the same animals as we were before the invention of agriculture. Once we had enough brain, we almost instantly went from flint arrowheads to inventing computers and hydrogen bombs and mortgage-backed securities. Of course we’re just barely mentally hanging on trying to handle all of it.

I'm an HTML & CSS web developer, my skills started in the 2010s with Bootstrap and have (purposely) stayed there. Yes, I know the advantages of React et al. but I have made a nice niche with my deliberately luddite-ish web development style. My brochure-site level business doesn't necessarily need the latest and greatest thing, as long as I don't skimp on security.

Until I read about Astro. I'm finally entering the 2020s and just starting to learn Astro. It's a bit daunting with my (intentional) gaps in skills but I'm finding my way.

Mastery learning works great for some subjects but not as well for subjects best learned in groups. If you put 14 year olds and 29 year olds together in the same class then that's likely to be problematic. We can't really state that any one pedagogical is "superior"; the data doesn't support that.
It's not called "in-the-ballpark" pitch, it's called perfect/absolute pitch. Being up to a quarter tone off is a large error in music. Thinking of pitch in terms of 12 buckets is not musically useful. The vast majority of music is based off consonance where being even a few hertz off means unpleasant dissonance. TLDR: Thinking of pitch as 12 buckets is mostly irrelevant.
Why would they want end users, which they aren't even providing a service to and have no insight into, to contact them directly? 99% of calls would be we have no idea what's going on and have no ability to see or do anything, talk to your IT.

I remember when I briefly lived in WV, we had a bat in our house and after knocking it down with a pillow, I needed to remove it, and i was WAY too much of a scaredy-cat to remotely touch it bare-handed. I came up with an elaborate procedure with an upside down bowl, took it outside and ran away as soon as I freed it.

Glad to see my hilariously overweight instincts validated.
> Look how many "consensus views" of the 1700-1800s are now seen as bunk.

Even more recently than that. I am not sure whether aether theory (of electromagnetic waves) made it into 1900s but it was a consensus view late into the 1800s, the idea that some races were intrinsically inferior was a consensus view well into the 1900s, and the idea that homosexuality was a a treatable disease even more recently.

> It would also be fine if we never based public policy on unreplicated or cherry picked research

I think that the general public and politicians do not understand this. I have read claims that the British government was confused by getting conflicting scientific advice during the pandemic. It would come as no surprise to anyone who understood the implications of people using complex models of something novel.

"Excess curtailment" implies the existence of non-excessive curtailment. Which is correct, some curtailment is not excessive in a system designed to deliver electricity at the lowest cost.

Batteries are great and are rolling out faster than many realize. But their existence also makes it feasible to rollout more renewables, which will lead to more curtailment.

You can have a very nerdy conversation about how much curtailment is too much and whether you should rollout tech to absorb curtailment before the curtailment even exists.

But implying that curtailment is a big scary thing that spells doom for renewables and we need enough batteries to soak it all up is an anti-renewables trope at this point.

This isn't scroll jacking, any more than it's "scroll jacking" when there's a header or menu sidebar which doesn't move with the text. Scroll jacking means something specific, like the style which was introduced by NYT and has been imitated badly ever since, where sometimes scrolling triggers animations and then the text gets the scroll back.

Here, the main text moves up and down when you scroll, and there's an illustration on the side which changes accordingly. I'm seeing mixed opinions about that stylistic choice here, I don't have a strong one myself.

Just that it isn't scroll jacking. It's some other thing.
It's a genuine tragedy.

We were members. It was a fun and interesting place to go to with kiddos every now and then -- particularly on a rainy day. Kids could goof off or, if interested, actually learn. And it was a great resource and community for us local adult nerds.

By the early 1990s most families (in my upper middle class milieu) had PCs. Minority had something else instead-Macs and Amigas most commonly.

9 year old me started using Windows 3.0 in 1991, when it was still quite rare in the home. My dad pirated from his work, which were adopting it. But by 1994 or so I was seeing Windows 3.x everywhere (mostly 3.1 or WfW 3.11 instead of 3.0)

I went to three different primary schools. First one (1987-1991) had Apple IIs; second one (1991-1992) had one computer lab containing IBM PC JXs running DOS (the JX was a derivative of the PCjr only sold in Japan, Australia and NZ), another with Acorns, and classrooms had a mix of Apple IIGS and 8-bit Apple II; third one (1993), our classroom had a C64 and an Acorn, and I know some other classrooms had Macs. Secondary school (1994-1999) was all PCs and Acorns. I think all the PCs ran Windows 3.x (later in 1990s newer machines got Windows 95), and most were in Windows nearly all the time. The exception was the machines in the CAD lab, which probably had Windows installed, but our CAD software only ran under DOS, so Windows was rarely used on them.

Around 1997 or so people were throwing out old 8-bit machines like crazy. I went to the school fair and bought a pile of Apple IIs and C64s for $5 each. Unfortunately my dad made me get rid of them all because he didn’t like the clutter.
I don’t think anyone ever thought Node was a browser thing though
Bit disappointed there's no 16gig(or more) version. But absolutely thrilled the rumours of Intel discrete graphics' demise were wildly exaggerated(looking at you, Moore's Law is Dead...).

Very happy with my A770. Godsend for people like me who want plenty VRAM to play with neural nets, but don't have the money for workstation GPUs or massively overpriced Nvidia flagships. Works painlessly with linux, gaming performance is fine, price was the first time I haven't felt fleeced buying a GPU in many years. Not having CUDA does lead to some friction, but I think nVidia's CUDA moat is a temporary situation.

Prolly sit this one out unless they release another SKU with 16G or more ram. But if Intel survives long enough to release Celestial, I'll happily buy one.
I feel like. there should be a framework based on go where you just compile the and ship one binary to a server.
Not really.

For public companies the primary goal is creating the highest possible stock price, or in rarer cases high dividends. Extracting as much money as possible is a common strategy for achieving that but it's not the only one. And arguably the strategy is used way more than it should be. Boards tend to set up bad incentives for the company leadership.

For private companies the goal is whatever the owner wants. That can be profit, but often it's about legacy. Or something entirely different. As far as we know SpaceX's purpose is indeed to create a self-sustaining mars colony

This doesn't back the hypothesis that there are applications (cough opportunities) held back by markdown's deferral of styling.

Markdown's chief feature is to be usable without tooling when writing, so more content is generated in the first place. So it extends the rich/cost graph to the left.

Because markdown is easily and often parsed, it operates as a data source from the get-go, mostly achieving the separation of concerns needed to scale to the right.

What are the pain or price points that will change with adopting this new technology?

(Is Swift-docc really the comparable? It seems to show what this is hopefully not: a subset dialect of markdown struggling with volatile, unusable hash links, no real extensibility or inter-op, tethered to BigCo's mission.)

This.

I’ve learned that being brutally honest with myself and others regarding what I’m feeling and why has been super helpful.

It _does_ run the risk of sounding childish, but thus far I’ve found the open vulnerability more rewarding than punishing.

Identifying when I’m irritable, I’ll say “I’m grumpy, I’m gonna suck to be around, sorry”. Or when the real reason why I don’t want to do something is just because “I’m feeling shy”, etc.

Its hard to break the whole “men should be stoic” expectation but I’ve found people are remarkably understanding when you’re honest about why you’re feeling what you’re feeling.
Interesting application. Was this a machine lacking an iGPU, or does the Intel GPU-on-a-stick have more quicksync power than the iGPU?
Open Source Developers Guide to the EU AI Act
Congrats on the launch!

Given the size of the niche (developers building voice agents), do you find there's a lot of demand for testing and observability? From my anecdata, many of the voice AI agent builders are using SDKs and builder tools (Voiceflow, Vapi, Bland, Vocode, etc). Observability is usually already baked-in pattern with these SDKs (testing I'm not so sure of).

One conversation I had with a voice agent builder: "Our product is complex enough where external testing tools don't make sense. And we know when things are not working because we have close relationships with power users and companies." Whose problem are you solving?

Your tool looks very powerful, but might the broader opportunity be just to use your evals to roll out the best voice agents yourself?

I can relate to the complexity fatigue.

I think if they were willing to let go of type safety, PHP + jQuery could unironically work just fine for them. I wonder if it's possible to sanely use PHP with TypeScript + Vite with SSG, without making your tooling too complex.

Anyway, congrats to them, sounds like they reduced costs and even kept engineers happy with an interesting technical challenge.
Maybe, though I don't know that me feeling like I'm 19 is really "bad". I don't think I have any trauma associated with that age. I didn't really join the workforce until I was 21.

I think when it comes to workplaces, it isn't really the same thing as the political arena (office "politics" aside). Personal restraint is fairly important. I have worked very closely, with people I desperately wanted to strangle, and we did good work.

Also, even in the political arena, there's often a need for personal restraint. My family has been in international diplomacy for decades (I'm the redneck engineer).

My father[0] used to constantly pop my "Simple wrong answer" balloons, on a regular, by explaining that nothing that involves humans, is ever actually simple, and that there are always dozens of competing forces at work; much of it sloppy emotions, pride, poverty, insecurity, tribalism, ignorance, religion, greed, and whatnot.

I have other family that has worked for decades, trying to get different faiths to work together, to address issues like poverty, lack of education, etc.

Some of this can last into adulthood—a common problem for small business owners and contractors is charging too little, because they know their costs and time and what a fair price seems like it should be.

They have to have that innate child’s sense of fairness trained out of them. The notion that “what the market will bear” is fair rather than (often) screwing people over is something that has to be taught, more often than not, from what I’ve observed.

Oracle has been doing this for decades.

For some companies, the migration from oracle to anything else would cost too much and hard to justify in some places, especially government.

I'm guessing Broadcom is going the same way.
They can't compete against cloud migrations or open source alternatives.

So as you said, they're squeezing locked in customers, the fastest they can until they've all migrated... Or until some decided that keeping it at that price was still a better ROI than migrating.
