Yes, they monitor several people simultaneously. Most clients ask us to check in on their progress every 15–30 minutes, and these interactions can last anywhere from a few seconds to three minutes, depending on the client and the challenges they're facing. It might be boring when working with a single person, but it gets more challenging as more people connect.

Also, we do more than just body doubling. Some clients need to follow a morning ritual before starting their work (think meditation, a quick house cleanup, etc.). Sometimes, we perform sanity checks on their to-do lists (people often create tasks that are too vague or vastly underestimate the time needed to complete them). We ask them to apply the 2-minute rule, and so on. It all depends on the client's needs.
That’s fair, I was leaving wiggle room for things like being able to force the engine into doing stupid things like sacrifice all its pieces to avoid stalemate.
I have used and use all three. I find Windows, despite annoyances and annoying trends particularly with their "Apple-fication" of the Control Panel, still to get out of the way the most. macOS can't even adjust volume or brightness of non-Apple monitors, which is an intentional move by Apple. macOS is absolutely full of arbitrary limitations and hidden things. Windows is much better for hardware interaction.
The business is tiny in terms of number of units built, and they're basically hand-built. Some of the interior components are laminated wood. The number of people with the skills to make these things is small, and, since they're
expected to last 30 to 50 years, nobody wants to buy from a startup. You want to be able to get replacement parts in 2050.

Plus, General Electric broke up, and GE Vernova now has the transformer business.[1]

But do you think entry or senior level tech folks, just below managers would care about how efficient their code is, if it does the job? I personally am building in the productivity space, a tool and had the same notion as well. But the tool we built is mostly being used by marketers, agencies, sales folks and other folks, wherein they value their time more.
The most I miss about those times is the simplicity and availability. Each computer had BASIC. Did not matter what computer. Now Windows comes default with Powershell and .NET (?) but no IDE. Linux comes default with Python and vi but that is hardly for beginners. As I am a Java developer I follow the developments of Java and recently stuff has been added to make Java easy to start with. So you can start with only "void main() { System.out.println("Hello world"); }" and it would run. Nice that people can get into coding easier but you still need to find an IDE and download an SDK...
What that tells me is that people who cannot read and understand a specification (or willingly ignore what the spec says) are implementing it anyway. I claim the spec is completely clear on all the points raised in the blog post. You can't just handwave that away without specifically telling what point was unclear.
> So most serious Catholics are not going to walk away from the church because there is evil inside of priests. There is evil inside all of us. But we are called to do battle with evil. For most of us, that battle is within our own hearts, but certainly we must also root out systemic evil within the Church.

I'm shooting from the hip here and I don't have CCC citations to back me up, but I want to say that the Church herself is not (and cannot be) inherently corrupt, because it is the mystical body of Christ. We must remember that actions of individual members of the Church (no matter how influential or high up they may be, even to the utmost) may be evil or disordered, but the Church will persist.

Christ included Judas among the twelve. The shenanigans some folks in the Church get up to these days don't exactly compare. Indeed, seeing that the Church has persisted these 2000 years despite schisms, etc, was a small part of what convinced me that it is the one true Church.
Sure, but that’s beside the point; I’m addressing the “full blown desktop processor” claim.

If you want a macOS device that runs the same M4 processor that’s in an iPad Pro, it looks like your options include virtually every macOS device.
There has been discussion on this topic for about 100 years, but the most prominent is in the books Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno or One-Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse. They are a bit heavier than this article but they go into the problem with far more depth.

The Frankfurt school in general deals with this problematic of Capitalism losing its revolutionary potential and becoming a stagnant, homogenous, unchanging system. Walter Benjamin, the spiritual father of both the above authors, in fact did extensive work attempting to uncover the wondrous possibilities of early high capitalism before it collapsed under the rule of Louis Bonaparte, which was the subject of Marx’s quite famous article The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. Disagree with Marx if you want but he did believe that capitalism, if left to run wild, would produce a new form of hypermobile, freely associating society, but when that gets close to happening in times of crisis a certain section of elite seize power for themselves and prevent the revolutionary social changes from occuring, thus producing this endless mediocrity.
Homo sapiens is wildly different from apes physiologically. (Apes look more anthropomorphic in our perception than dogs or cats, but this means nothing. Humans find two dots and a circular arc to be anthropomorphic too.)
Boorish people dismiss all intellectual work this way, at all ages and all skill levels, across the liberal arts and the sciences.
Hi, I’m a software developer that prefers Windows. <waves>

I make video games. Most video game devs used Windows. Most video games are played on Windows. In a great twist of irony a majority of gaming hours spent on Linux now do so through SteamOS and is doing so by emulating Windows! (Well, close enough).

Developing on Linux sucks and is bad. There’s no good debugger. glibc is a nightmare of bad design. Linux package management is bad. Linux is fine if by programming you actually mean devops though I guess.

macOS is kinda sorta ok. But might as well use Windows at that point. Apple Silicon is stupid sexy though. Definitely wish Windows ran on that.
It would be great if you could paste in an existing k8s file to analyze as well. Would help for onboarding/modifying existing templates you haven't worked on in awhile, etc.
Not all, but a ton of these have everything to do with the profit motive and how everything is being cost cut to the bone.

- Simplified, bland corporate logos can be endlessly copied, moved and placed on canvasses and into a variety of mixed media. A bland, simplified logo is just at home plastered across packaging as it is painted on a piece of glass as it is cast in plastic and used as a decoration as it is floating atop stock footage as it is embossed in plastic on the side of a product. Design once, use everywhere, refresh occasionally.

- Five-over-ones are a response as outlined in the piece to building codes and space constraints. It's the tallest you can safely build a structure without using any steel, and the principle materials are concrete and wood which are very cheap. It can be configured as a mix of residential and commercial properties which means you have an inherent diversity in your investment as a landlord, or just as easily be 100% of either without many foundational changes.

- Corporate campuses have homogenized because of deregulation in corporate taxes and payment schemes, which incentivizes less investment in "cool shit" for your business. Why spend tons of money on a fancy headquarters with the top end of everything when instead you could just as easily give yourself all that money via stock buybacks, and then spend it on a yacht? And it's not like your competitors or customers give half a shit anymore, they all work in equally boring and dull campuses.

- To most people unfortunate enough to live in areas where cars are a necessity, they are at best, a convenient alternative to walking and at worst, an ongoing tax on their livelihood that must be paid. Your average Joe or Jane cares that a car is reliable and gets good fuel economy. The only people who care about looks are those that are status obsessed, and to them, the logo means far more than anything on the actual bodywork. Most of the status enabled vehicles are also identical to the cheaper ones, differed only by badges. It isn't even just platforms as the article says; tons of vehicles are outright the same damn vehicle being sold under a number of brands and models... because it's cheaper.

And as for less obvious things like AirBnBs and Coffee shops, it's just cheaper to imitate what's already working than doing any work to see what might be more interesting. Yeah those particular looks won out, but odds are that's less because of anything inherent to them, and more because it just... did, a no more consequential decision on the part of the universe than which specific fish happened to get legs right the first time. But for it being a different fish, maybe we'd all have legs that curved backwards instead of forwards at the knee.

And instagram face is what it is, as the article says, because of Kim Kardashian. Because she certainly didn't originate the concept of being famous for being famous, but she did perfect it, utterly buff it to a mirror shine, and what is being an influencer if not that?
It seems like the kind of thing Musk would say he’d do but never deliver.

I'm noticing a big increase in crawling activity on the sites I manage, likely from bots collecting data for LLMs. Most of them don't use proper user agents and of course don't stick to any scraping best practices that the industry has developed over the past two decades.

This trend is creating a lot of headaches for developers responsible for maintaining heavily scraped sites.

On mastodon you have three timelines/feeds: local, federated and global.

Local is for posts local to your instance. Federated is local + posts from other instances, from people that are followed by somebody on your instance. Global is for any posts from anyone.

For example: if you join art instance your local feed will be very artsy and federated feed will be slightly artsy.

It matters little, because most people use and subscribe to hashtags to discover posts. Federated feed is too random, especially in big instances.

We weren't talking to a sexy young attractive lady on those phone sex lines either.

Some didn't care and still used them, many were scammed, but that is the nature of the industry. Sadly it has always been on the consumer of unregulated sexual services to be aware of how the industry of their era works.

Should we legalize, regulate and make it safer for both the buyers and also sex workers? Yes, but that is an another conversation altogether.
Interesting take, but one correction: sperm from old men isn't "just as good" as sperm from a young man.

The older the father, the more DNA mutations he's accumulated (I've heard the estimate of 2-3 mutations per year). This increases the risks of all sorts of things, from autism to cancer.

While the overall likelihood is still fairly low, comparatively, it's still strictly worse.
Cardboard is still here, YouTube app can play VR videos via it, Chrome for Android provides WebXR support via it, it's 3DoF only, but main usecase for phone VR is VR stereoscopic video which is 3DoF anyway. Daydream was attempt to create another proprietary ecosystem and is obsolete. Since then OpenXR has won as cross platform, cross vendor, open standard XR API, if Android gets standard OpenXR runtime with good 6DoF tracking and shell support everyone will be happy.

Yes. You shouldn't be downvoted because it's a reasonable question and opens things up for fascinating exploration.

I guess there's many things interesting about it, but I see it like: prime numbers are the fundamental pattern of magnitudes, where the next prime is the first place that no multiples of any previous magnitude (prime or not) would ever land on.

In other words, if you took any previous magnitude (ie, any number less than that next prime), and copied it over edge to edge, the edge would never line up with that next prime.

Because counting and magnitude is so simple and fundamental to the space of concepts and even to reality, it's pretty fascinating that this extremely simple to describe pattern, is nevertheless hard to create a description for that's more concise than including all previous primes.

And I think people like finding that kind of 'shorter' description, as it indicates a deeper understanding, a new way of looking at reality that you didn't see before. And when we see that, it will probably be very useful to many other things.

It's fascinating to reflect on all that, and also on how this fundamental pattern of magnitudes, their 'self-similar but scaling' structure, also relates to the 'compressibility' of the number line and information theory.

That's what I think. I think everyone can find their own interest in there, there's probably a lot of ways to look at it. :)
At least with the "f*ck" books this is just a money grab. Subtle art was a hit - I also remember enjoying the book - and it sprung bunch of copy cats with no originality. I also got suckered into this, picking up another one of these books thinking it was a sequel, but it was the most boring non-sense and I dropped it almost immediately.

I suspect money drives most other of these trends. You want to builds homes to look away that is proven to get highest sale price. You want to make the car look like the model that has sold most over past decade. You want to make your coffee shop look like what a successful coffee shop looks like to attract more customers. You want to make you influencer account look like every other influencer account to get as much sponsor and ad revenue as possible.

This is the same reason why we see reboot after reboot and if it isn't a reboot it is a sequel or prequel or reimagining of some sort, since all of the arts are now investments and need to make profit, no one wants to take a risk on unproven idea.

As for why even my home has white walls? Most people don't change the default. I don't care enough about the wall color and I know that I will be selling at some point and would have to paint the walls white again.

We need some kind of "smart contract" for such cases. Maybe an IFTTT or Zapier workflow that automatically activates the MAID clause if predefined conditions (that you chose while you are still conscious) are met.
This is a byproduct of capitalism, which is fundamentally driven by optimization and efficiency.
The most efficient way to optimize is to homologate.
Funnily enough that’s an endgame that resembles closely what realist socialism would impose from the start, in order to distribute equally (whereas in capitalism this also led to increasing inequality).
Globalized capitalism now resembles a lossy compression algorithm applied to the world.
That said, the one shown by this article is also a very, very Western view of this issue.
A stroll through Asian smaller places and you’ll see the difference popping up.
There are also interesting Western holdouts, where usually tradition still defies optimization. Italy is a good example of that.

Edit: every time I mention a critique of capitalism on this forum it gets absolutely zero traction and even downvoted.
Why is this the reaction, instead of maybe even telling me why this analysis is completely worthless or wrong in a proper argumented comment? Change my mind! But be also open to see more structural issues in the way we all live, maybe?
I'm sorry, only long tons or short tons. Why have one unit when you can have two? In metric it's a Tonne.

It was never necessary to use it. It's handy for exploratory work and studying thee patterns of how they glued stuff together behind the scenes, but once you know what you want to build it's another bloated abstraction that's just in the way.
-Dunlop saw the opportunity to run another experiment in 1967-68, which he called the “Executive Terminal.”

Accessing Dunlop's archives on the Xerox Star that would not have been a stand-alone system ended up requiring a Memorex machine that was accessed through multiple time-sharing CRT models. Piecing together the original audio in archival footage moved restoring the tape in an information management system to Englebart's accelerated NLS database.

Maybe if you count game development. And, if you’re generous, development environments that run inside a Linux VM hosted by Windows (WSL counts).
Instead of using AI to summarize body cameras, why not just release the body camera footage along with the police report? This is almost never done, usually you have to wait for discovery and the trial process to get access to the body cam footage, while the cops can and do lie/exaggerate all the time on the reports. Then you have to pay for a lawyer just to get to the data of truth, which easily costs citizens thousands of dollars. Though they don't call it lying, they call it the "officer's recollection." That's how you get things like, everyone smells like weed and/or alcohol, everyone is resisting arrest, everyone is "defiant and uncooperative." Plus, many times they will charge you extra money for the body cam footage. Trust me, all they really need to do is prevent the body cams from being turned off and/or muted, and present the body cam footage to all parties at the start, and we'd have a revolution in policing. Especially if all these police reports are drafted from incomplete body cam footage where the officer knowingly covers their camera, turns it off, or mutes it for no good reason. A lot of cops have gotten caught planting evidence from their own body cam. Same for dashcams. They should be released immediately. There is no reason not to other than to try to muscle normal citizens out of their constitutional rights.

Unity works great on macOS. Mobile devs are probably mostly on macOS and Unity. PC and console devs are all Windows though.

Unreal probably works ok on macOS. But as the games are all PC and console games the devs are on Windows. Debugging consoles is typically done via Visual Studio only. And the adult version, not VSCode.
