What's sad is that the last time that people experienced significant restrictions and inconvenience - during Covid-19 lockdowns - it did move the environmental needle, but still not enough to make the 1.5C goal. So just imagine the vast gulf between the annoyances you listed and what it might take.
A janky keyboard input could be useful for demo purposes, to get folks excited about it before they drag their keyboard/MIDI cables out of the closet. (Debugging too, perhaps.)
This is a 30KLOC 6 platform flutter app that's, in this user story, doing VOIP audio, running 3 audio models on-device, including in your browser. A near-replica of the Google Assistant audio pipeline, except all on-device.

It's a real system, not kindergarten "look at the React Claude Artifacts did, the button makes a POST request!"

The 1500 loc websocket / session management code it refactored and tested touches on nearly every part of the system (i.e. persisting messages, placing search requests, placing network requests to run a chat flow)

Also, it's worth saying this bit a bit louder: the "just throwing files in" I mention is key.

With that, the quality you observed being in reverse is the distinction: with o1 thinking, and whatever Sonnet's magic is, there's a higher payoff from working a larger codebase.

For example, here, it knew exactly what to do for the web because it already saw the patterns iOS/Android/macOS shared.

The bend I saw in the curve came from being ultra lazy one night and seeing what would happen if it just had all the darn files.
But the question that I wonder is, why even cross platform, online search tools, which search your google drive, one drive, dropbox and show results in one place, even tend to fail,

I have seen few startups even YC backed that didn't make it, I wonder why it's such a hard barrier to entry, even being a common problem everywhere

Yes, it is:

"How this happens: when a Physalia egg is fertilized, it starts dividing, like every other fertilized egg. But pretty quickly it breaks apart into two and then more distinct embryos — genetically identical, but physically separate."
Some people think sarcasm makes for a smart and sophisticated joke.

In reality, it takes very little intelligence to say the opposite of what you mean. Once I reflected on it, I really think it’s such an adolescent way of thinking.

If you think you’re smart, then challenge yourself to make a great joke, instead of just saying !(thing).
This was an interesting post. Thanks for making me question if sarcasm is actually a bad thing. I don’t agree off the bat but I’ve never seriously considered it.
Love the concept but no clear idea of a use case.

Could you list 3 or 4 of them please?
This is happening at both the individual and corporate level, as data is pulled behind access control. Platforms based on public data, like Twitter, may have a home court advantage since their culture is aligned with platform LLMs that can provide answers based on real-time data.
I would love to see local city and town meetups coming up. Your service is suitable for that at least based on the name.

I am outside of metropolitan Seattle and there are no meetup at all. I would love to meet fellow tech tinkerers and just build a network.

AI is booming on the App Store, and developers are taking advantage of it
I discovered the world of medical devices by accident and it’s great. When the bosses are nice, it’s pure heaven.

I write code in C# or C++ (but also Python, pipelines, scripts, JS, etc.) and it needs to be somewhat efficient. We all follow the same rules (62304 especially), we must write unit tests, and make sure that my features are properly integrated at all steps of the development up to the release, and even after when you must validate it with the authorities, when you have bugs, etc. If you're in a small company, everyone can be involved in all the processes and it's fun because you go much further than mere development (like preparing reports for various agencies all over the world, or helping PhDs integrate their code in the application).

We have commit hooks to check and format code, pipelines must be green. You cannot cheat because someone will find out. And you can’t pretend that your code worked once on your computer because the test team will refuse your code if it breaks anything. It’s more rigorous at all steps of the development.

Last but not least we have specifications for everything because it’s the law. Overall it’s what software engineering should have been all the time. It feels like working at NASA even if it's only a stupid desktop tool or application.

Of course everything is not perfect, you can stumble on assholes like every other company, but it's not everywhere. I’m happy to go to work every day, I may have saved a life or two with my code, and that's a good feeling.

My experience comes from having worked with the biggest assholes on the planet at different companies. To answer your question, I would say that an interesting job is rigorous, peaceful, and has some kind of meaning.

Edit: as another guy said, I too settled for lesser wage to work for a company that would not destroy my soul and spirit. That's important too.
"install name == import name" cannot work in Python, because when you `pip install foo`, you may get more than one top-level package. Or you may get a single-file module. Or you may, validly per the spec, get no Python code whatsoever. (For example, you could publish large datasets separately from your data science library, as separate wheels which could be listed as optional dependencies.)

The lack of good namespacing practice is a problem. Part of the reason for it, in my estimation, is that developers have cargo-culted around a mistaken understanding of `__init__.py`.
I know. That's why it's not going to happen and why it didn't happen. I consider climate change a fait accompli.

Perhaps the real research doesn't find these bombastic results that "everyone knows are true"? The 'researchers' in the article had a conclusion, the experiment didn't agree with it and then thought of excuses as to why.

>Until then, kids — and their parents — are left with the unfortunate decision between phone addition, and social ostracism.

Even this just presumes it's all negative. Why?
Yes but those weren't really a problem as it only applied to new cars. Existing ones were never a problem, owners could keep using them as long as they could keep going. So there was no cost offloaded on them. Like there is with cities banning ICEs.
True, though it's still enough nutrients to feed three people's entire caloric needs.

I don’t get this comment. Double is common hyperbole, but like do you think tiktok habits don’t degrade other productivity? It’s a known phenomenon that smartphones kill boredom and boredom promotes things like sleeping and productivity.
It doesn't surprise me that they're trying something like this.

From what I've seen so far, when it comes to Michigan that is: Ann Arbor seems to be the most progressive city in Michigan. I remember the first time I discovered this, I couldn't believe how much power a city has to shape their own rules and regulations.

I'm from the Netherlands, and have seen the state for about 6 months total. So maybe an actual Michigander can chime in.
That seems plausible though. I have small kids and hence bad sleep often and when I'm very tired I often have to put off difficult programming tasks for another day and just do refactoring or whatever. I think it's entirely expected that it's harder to think clearly when you're really tired.

Is it harder to think clearly because you've just been watching shorts/reels for an hour? Absolutely not. It's an addictive waste of time, sure. But trying to claim some kind of cognitive impairment is just this generation's "X rots your brains" (where X has been TV and then video games).
> is there even a strict definition for what an organism is?

I don't know how "strict" it is but the dictionary definition of "organism" is "an individual form of life, such as a bacterium, protist, fungus, plant, or animal, composed of a single cell or a complex of cells in which organelles or organs work together to carry out the various processes of life." There is no requirement that it consist of parts that are physically connected to one another.
> It’s not so great if you can’t afford anything except the yearly check-up.

The people in your second demographic don't even get that.

They finally take unpaid time off work to see the doctor when they start pooping blood, and the doctor tells them to get their affairs in order in the few months they have left.

I hold that Racism, being an 'ism is a way of looking at the world that attempts to describe why reality is the way due to Racial categories

>Like most systems of thought Racism draws from some common characteristic(s) found in at least part of the humanity for its power, in the case of Racism it is the tendency to xenophobia.

Not this type of tourism. It might make a small amount of money, but there is no huge market for extremely expensive (think a hundred thousand dollars per trip per person) but 0-comfort exploration of barren wastelands that you can't even see for more than maybe an hour or risk being radiation poisoned. Will there be a trickle of extremely wealthy dare-devils? Sure. But this is neither a Greek island nor Monaco.
This baffles me as well. A large group of people seem to immediately treat it as a foregone conclusion that smartphone bans are entirely positive. Nobody seems to even question the idea that we shouldn't ban things by default.

The evidence that's used for these bans is more "everyone knows this is true" and less "we have proven that this causes way too much farm, therefore we're banning it". Everyone knows sitting too close to the TV ruins your eyesight, right?

Of course smartphones shouldn't be in use during class, but that seems to hardly ever be in question. It's always "total phone ban" advocated by people who will never be impacted by it based on some bogus study like in the original article.
Finding the Mango's Origin (2017)
Fresh eggs make it easier to get the right texture, especially for new cooks (less albumin separation -- same reason fresh egg whites whip better). If you're already past the basics, freshness won't impact the result much outside of, perhaps, a bit of weepage.

Egg flavor is fairly resilient though. Even repeatable effects from, e.g., flaxseed in the diet, are pretty small. You might notice them, but in a french omelette the egg is a smooth base for delivering the actual food -- butter. I'd experiment there (very easy to make your own cultured butter at home) before playing with the flavor of eggs, and personally I basically ignore flavor when evaluating which eggs to buy.

For anyone else reading along, room temp eggs also make it much easier to get the right french omelette effect, especially without a nonstick pan. 5-10min in warm water if you refrigerate your eggs should suffice.
Now I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic. Damn it!
For me this is very early stages, too early to tell. But it might help, so figured I'd just throw it out there.

Currently something I'm going to try is to use my musical imagination. I've always had it since I was a kid, and I'm having a small breakthrough with it in terms of boosting certain moods. I should've done this way earlier but I just never thought of it.

So if you have a musical gift like I do, I'd propose to do that. The broader generalized version of this is to use your imagination to induce specific emotional moods into you and help that to make that your motivation.
This is the problem I keep mentioning with the very poor definition of "social media".

You wouldn't have said old flip phone was a social media, even if effectively whatsapp does the same stuff.

There is a big difference between an app pushing you toward "brand yourself" and with algorithm-controlled content and a contacting-app with none of the previous stuff.
Yes, they are both "social" in the sense that they allow us to reach other humans, but that's where it ends.

I'm sure there are features I don't know about whatsapp though.

The whole thing is art. Doesnt have to impress anyone.
You're not factoring the energy and resources (eg excavation) needed to build all those arseloads of solar panels and DAC machinery and the infrastructure to connect, maintain and control them all, including things like cleaning all those panels. And the societal impact of paying for it all.
First of all, that's not branding, it's bias for a known, existing solution.

Second of all, people have switched browsers en masse before, it just requires a good enough reason to do so. People switched from IE6 to Firefox in a relatively large number, and then they all switched to Chrome. Even today, people on Windows tend to install Chrome, while people on Macs tend to stick to Safari, so some browser choice is happening.

Third of all, and perhaps most importantly really, Chrome is free, so the only reason to switch away would be finding some major features you want in another browser. ChatGPT is not free, and it's losing money fast at its current price point. But if they make it more expensive, as they need to unless they can significantly reduce their costs, people will look for alternatives. Other than fashion brands, I don't think you'll find almost any example of people in general using a more expensive service when a cheaper equivalent one exists and is being actively marketed.
Apart from whether the days are enough or not to wean off a long-standing addiction. Maybe a 3% boost in working memory has compounding effects over time as well.

You can't commit to long term memory what you can't keep in working memory long enough. You can't think about complex things if you don't have the working memory capacity.

If you always have 3% more working memory you might accumulate more knowledge after a while.

Like alcohol doesn't delete your brain, but you have serious memory deficits if you drink every day for years on end.
> Why is it then that real income & wealth (and with that, life outcomes) have shot up in all the "sweat-shop" countries that stock the shelves of Walmart?

We have very different views on the labor conditions of foreign workers.

> For most poor American families, living in a big house in a small town and owning one or more cars is the optimal solution, not some utopian pipe dream involving high-rises and buses.

I grew up in a big house in a small town and worked doing property maintenance in high school to buy my own car. I have been driving cars for 25 years. Two years ago I moved to a dense city with halfway decent public transit (by US standards). Finally I can walk or ride my bike to my friend's houses. I still have a car and I use it about once a week. But now I bike to work, even in the rain. I use public transit more than I ever have in my life, because the transit is more useful here than in any of the car-centric cities I have lived in before. I am happier leaving my car parked and walking or biking to see my friends and loved ones. And when I bike, I wish less space was devoted to cars - roads and parking divide up a beautiful place. Everything is compartmentalized, and high speed danger is always nearby.

Even cities with the best public transit still have room for cars. But I do not think that relying on cars as the predominant method of transit is "optimal". When cities are built to make life without a car hell, then yes people in those places will find a car the optimal choice as individuals. But I have been to New York, London, Paris, and Brussels. I saw how public transit can be used to reduce the need for car ownership and car infrastructure. We could do that in the USA too.
Why stop there? Let it figure out how to please us without need for sliders etc. We'll just relax. Now that's paradigm shift.
> is alien both to CPUs and human minds

On the contrary I would love that. The best case scenario in my mind is being able to express the native paradigms of all relevant platforms while writing a single piece of code that can then be compiled for any number of backends and dynamically retargeted between them at runtime. It would make debugging and just about everything else SO MUCH EASIER.

The equivalent of being able to compile some subset of functions for both ARM and x86 and then being able to dynamically dispatch to either version at runtime, except replace ARM with a list of all the GPU ISAs that you care about.
I said anatomically.
A trapdoor on the bottom would also be a nice nod to the Amiga 500.

It's like asking for data to prove gravity exists. There's no scientific discussion about climate change.

Asking for data implies it's yet to be proven.... do you have data disproving the current academic consensus?
The title claims it is "insanely impressive." While the art doesn't need to be "insanely impressive," if the title uses that phrase, we would expect it to be impressive.

I, my self, haven't looked at the article yet, but I would imagine the criticism is on a "click baitish title" - not on the art

Update: I have watched the video. That is damn impressive

Most OS's use package managers these days, expecting ANY language to not run into major problems with that is just asking for trouble.

Remember that Version SAT is NP-complete: https://research.swtch.com/version-sat

How do you expect to support violating that contract, where the OS vendor, package maintainers issue updates and security fixes, while you maintain your code, with the realization that Python releases have two years of bug fixes and three additional years of security fixes. Are you actually forced into this model or are you just adding to code debt refers and adding to the accumulation of poorly written or unmaintainable code that makes future changes even harder than they are today?

Using OS package managers helps you avoid accumulating so much code debt, making moving to newer versions the easy path actually results in better written and maintainable code.

If you just listen to depreciation warnings, and prioritize trying to stay close to the current released versions, and insisting that running on unsupported versions is an incident and not hiding it under the rug, things get better over time.

That said, the Python direct download paths are very stable.

3.13.0 being: www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130/
2.5.5 being: www.python.org/downloads/release/python-255/

I would still recommend creating packages from those downloads, while there are possibly better options, fpm has treated me well for well over a decade.

Looking in homebrew, which is probably one of the bigger unknowns, they have targets for everything going back to 3.8, with all major Linux distros supporting farther back and obviously VM/containers are an option there too.

brew info --json python3 | jq -r '.[].versioned_formulae[]'
python@3.12
python@3.11
python@3.10
python@3.9
python@3.8

I have run into the situations above, but the use of unsupported and/or end-of-life software is not something you intentionally help an organization do.

Especially with the actions by several agencies to bust EULA's

While IANAL we will see what happens in the courts, when the CISA labels something as "This dangerous practice is especially egregious in technologies accessible from the Internet"

There is a very big difference between sustainment needs and active development, one is a reality, the other could possibly be framed as "Gross negligence", invalidating any EULA protections in many parts of the country.

Obviously if you are running other peoples software the calculus of trade-offs changes.

But I have done the Python 2.7 to 3.x migration for several open source and commercial projects in the past. I can promise you that the time you waste on using 2.7 with software you control is far more expensive than updating.

If you are stuck on 2.7 on a product under active development, which has been EOL for 5 years and was warned to be going away for almost a decade prior to that...the problem you have is not with any 3rd party dependancies, the problem is with your organization.

No 3rd party vendor solution will fix those problems for you.
I recently learned about an activity at CERN. They try to transport antiprotons to a different site for better analysis. "BASE STEP" https://home.cern/news/news/experiments/base-experiment-take...

Surprisingly, antimatter can be stored for months. They built a 2.5 ton storage box, ultra high vacuum and magnetic trap and a loading mechanism. In a first trial they loaded 70 protons and drove around the campus on a truck.

Impressive that this is even possible. But with 2.56 * 10^-15 Wh/kg still orders of magnitude from current batteries.
I'm entirely willing to reskill over this, tbh. Already played my hand once, WFH or I'm out. Will do it again
which law is being broken here?
But sometimes SeriousCompany says "we'll provide this public resource so people can do X, Y, and Z", and then someone does A and gets a cease and desist?

It's an open resource, sure, but the provider of the resource can still set limits on its use, even after it's been available for some time. Often that includes things like "don't use our free resource to make yourself money".

That seems like an entirely reasonable request to me?

Something being freely available does not inherently grant you the right to use it however you'd like. It's pretty unhelpful to conflate the two things.
