>"What if even billionaires can’t disrupt the system we have built"

In theory billionaires should be treated just as your average Joe. What worries me more is that they seem to be able to buy government they want. Not completely there yet but moving in the direction. And while I do not put much trust to government having people's interest at heart I think the government subjugated by billionaires will be a nightmare in the end.

Mmmmm I don’t think you would say that two cars going opposite directions on a road , in opposite lanes, are on a parallel path, you would say they were on an opposite path, I would think.

But if those two cars were traveling the same direction, in the same two lanes, they would be properly described as following a parallel path.

from a line vs ray perspective parallel and opposite are equivalent, but when they are rays and not lines, directionality matters.

It goes on my list of 'dreamlike' movies, they don't always fully add up consciously but you can feel your unconscious going into overdrive while watching them (or maybe there is a surface plot that mostly adds up, like EWS, but there is clearly something going on at a least one other level). The viewing experience is often downright hypnotic for me.

A few off the top of my head, this is a very personal list and I can't even claim that all these movies are 'good' in any particular sense. Just that they put me into this state:
* basically anything in lynch's cannon. I'm not always the biggest fan of his stuff, but sometimes they hit me hard.
* Cronenberg's Videodrome and it's spiritual sequel Existenz
* Donnie Darko & Southland Tales (objectively just an awful movie)
* Prince of Darkness
* Enter the Void (not for the faint of heart)
* Paprika
* Solaris (the original mostly, there are some qualities in the remake)
* Stalker
* Dark City
* Sorry to Bother You
* The Fountain
* 8 1/2
* The Ninth Gate
* and certainly Eyes Wide Shut
Nothing about this is correct, at least in the US. Copyright infringement is a civil matter - the IP owner can sue over it, but it's not a crime and the state doesn't get involved (unless something else is going on beyond just infringement).
> DOGE is a lobby group with no plan

That Elon hasn't published a plan doesn't mean he doesn't have one.

He's done the "impossible" many times before, so I expect a very serious effort. Can it fail, sure. But betting agains Elon is historically a terrible strategy.
I think that faith in "disruption" is one of those modern business myths, that's applied in hindsight to famous entrepreneurs. I don't think it's something you can plan, hire, or even hope for. There are two analogies that give me pause:

1. The "insurgency" problem: The people who can overthrow a government are never the same people as, or are even willing to cooperate with, the people who can govern.

2. The "second system effect" described by Fred Brooks. The workings of a bureaucracy seem analogous to a massive, complex software app that must be kept running while it's being completely re-written from scratch.

You're not going to be a L4 in Data Processing and start a Stadia project on your own, no.

It would also be ridiculous for you to even try.

But you can spin up smaller things, and L7+ can start major projects if they want to risk their career.

And that's how most of the non-massive initiatives have worked.

Massive initiatives like Stadia, Cloud, Maps, Social, Play, and Gemini are atypical at Google considering the thousands of smaller projects that have launched, maybe tens of thousands considering internal projects.

Even most of those project decisions aren't happening at the C level.

I found that by accident. I got laid off by a random software company during the usual massive layoffs of December / January, and a healthcare company was looking for C++ programmers.

That’s all actually. There’s a few months ramp up where you have to learn and adapt to the process, but it’s a regular coding job. Nothing special actually.
As someone who was part of the developer community and had multiple of the prototype devices, both phone and tablet, I can say it’s not because of the software they lost to Apple, it’s because of the hardware. The hardware was plain inferior, even for the era.

This shouldn't be an either/or thing. Any public facing profile, especially on a platform like LinkedIn which is large and has many eyes on it, is better than none if you're looking to get the word out. I've had a LinkedIn profile from nearly the beginning, and although I nearly never use it, I am occasionally contacted by people about work. If I spent even an iota of time filling out my profile and posting regularly, it would probably bring me many offers. (Whether they'd be what I'm looking for is another story.)

If I had to choose between a public facing profile or a broad in person network, I'd choose the in person network. But you really shouldn't discount the online profile, since it's free advertising for you.
Ah yeah I have never used that app. Are they Taboola ads though? That seems egregious.

In 1998 it was a LOT more nerdy. To some of you youngsters now you'd be amazed at the primitiveness of the hardware. It was still in the "first adopter" stage from a commercial point of view.

CPU speed was measured in Mhz not Ghz. CPUs had one core. Memory was measured in MB (not GB) and machines with memory of 32MB or less was the norm. A big-screen was 1024x768 (and most folk didn't have that) and lots-of-color meant 256 colors.

The publically-accessable internet was in its infancy. Connection was through dial ip modem. There was no Google, no social media, no news media.

Most of the businesses we sold software to, we had to source the hardware for them as well. Computers in the home were "common" (but not really used for much apart from games.) And by common I'm thinking 10% or so, not 50%.

So yeah, still very nerdy. You still needed a good grasp of the command line, config of new machines was tricky, IRQ numbers were a thing. My best work was in Assembly language.

And very optimistic. It was clear the best was still to come, and the flaws were seen, but improving all the time. Every year brought new hardware, new software, and new "I didn't know a computer could do that).

Plus we were younger, so much younger than today. The world was our oyster. We might have been nerds, but we had gun working AND got paid to do so. It was a special time and I feel privileged to have lived through it.

To be honest I've never had issues like you're describing and I've been using Linux nearly exclusively as a desktop OS since the 2010s. The main deficiency is that it doesn't have eg a good Photoshop alternative, but what's there works well-- and these days the browser has supplanted most native proprietary software, anyway. Things have only broken for me when I've hacked/customized them to the point that it's a miracle they work at all.

OTOH, Windows has never given me anything but trouble... stuff that's easy on Linux semi-frequently required regedit hacks. I remember having to mess with some DCOM thing and ended up hosing my Windows install. Not to mention that it's awfully slow without installing a bunch of debloating tools (and even then...).

Sceptre's TVs don't seem to support 120 Hz or variable refresh rate yet, only their smaller monitors, so they're not a good fit for anybody with a current-generation video game console.
Not really. Maemo/N900 and OpenMoko existed and worked well enough. The problem I think is more than Meego/Mer/Moblin was supposed to be equally open, but a customer ready version of that idea. It was delayed over and over again. By the time it existed, it was no longer a pure X11 based Linux distribution and more of an (too) early take on Wayland. It was also so late Microsoft made a powergrab and managed to kill it. Ubuntu mobile (and to some extent BlackBerry10/WebOS) then came and tried to take that crown, but by that time iOS and Android were too entrenched. Ubuntu mobile was also MIR/LibHybris, you can't really build your own DE/WM on it since its a monolith. So the FLOSS community waited/wasted 6 years waiting for some building blocks (and the hardware to go with them) to be ready and were left with nothing. By that time the ship had sailed and the world depended on "apps" to interact with everything and FLOSS can't challenge it.

Show HN: Hackily adding real time chat to ChatGPT Voice Mode
They'll probably add it natively soon but I'm a big voice mode user and wanted a way to copy code and to see the conversation in real time.

Could also be used for language learning too : )

note: You can start a conversation from anywhere including the mobile app. Also doesn't work with Santa mode as those conversations don't seem to be stored atm.
>Well Microsoft already lost the consumer market. Apple and Android dwarf Windows market share.

For phones, sure, but we're talking about PCs here. MS hasn't tried anything in the smartphone market for ages now. Android isn't a PC OS at all, and Apple's laptop and desktop computers are a tiny fraction of MS's.

>Where they still have some presence is corporate productivity and gaming, both of which are eroding.

"Some presence" is a huge understatement. The corporate world is still mostly running on Windows, unfortunately. Macs are not a serious contender here at all except maybe for some design stuff. Their domination for gaming might be eroding, but they're still highly dominant here too.

>The future is not bright for Microsoft.

Their financials look excellent right now. Of course, they're actually pretty smart, pushing into cloud services and such instead of just clinging to OS sales, so that'll probably continue.

I'd love to see everyone suddenly switch to various Linux distros and for MS to dry up overnight, but I just don't see it happening in the real world.
That's different than what GP said though - that you need to reject the agreement to get it to be a dumb TV. Which is it?
I've replaced several appliances recently and while, like TVs, all have wifi garbage built in, I've never once connected any of them and they all function perfectly fine.

And on the topic of TVs, my Sony TV also works happily while disconnected and never nags about it.

Consider that the times were optimistic for those who were interested, motivated, capable, and in a position (even geographic) to learn about computers. But there were probably many people for whom the same time was not as optimistic, perhaps due to being automated or outsourced.

Probably true right now too, some are in optimistic times, and others not. Perhaps the proportions of the two groups varies.
Well, the monitor itself says it's being fed 120Hz in its status popup, I don't think X11 is smart enough to lie in that way.

> “Crackers seem soft when their moisture level reaches about 9 percent.”

Are they sure the problem is with "complex syntax"? The statement is that crackers >seem< soft at >about< 9%; yet the question is asking what level do they >become< soft. I had to constantly remind myself on standardize test to remember to use the most general/basic understanding of this type of problem since they did not give the level it actually becomes soft and its standardize testing so needed to remember, "It's not that deep", as the kids say.
That’s why in NLP we use term frequency over inverse document frequency. It gives you a measure of common uncommon things are.

Agreed about code usage documentation, although it's nice to have a more robust manual with several nicely formatted usage examples, which would be too much to put in the code as comments.

In my mind, the design document doesn't have to describe everything that got to the present point. It should describe the current working of the system, which parts talk to which, what protocol they speak, the details of any custom protocols, what the DB schema is, system architecture, why a certain index exists and why other indexes were explicitly omitted, etc. It doesn't have to contain every one of these things (perhaps the schema definition goes in the code repo) but these are the types of things I think it should have. It can certainly contain notes like "We used to do X but because of Y we now do Z instead" but that's not as necessary.

I would argue that such a design document is essential for keeping everybody on the same page. How else will you know the overall design? If you can fit all that documentation into comments in the code repo, great, but then you don't have a single point of reference to guide you; instead you have to hunt all over for comments that are stored disparately, and there is no overall narrative.
