> Am I naive for thinking that nothing like that should take as long as 6-9 months in the happy case and that it's absurd for it to not succeed at all?

Bluntly, yes. And so is every other reply to you that says "no this isn't naive", or "there's no reason this project shouldn't have finished". All that means is that you've not seen a truly "enterprise" codebase that may be bringing in tons of business value, but whose internals are a true human centipede of bad practices and organic tendrils of doing things the wrong way.
Also what's the reasoning behind not wanting to store passwords?

It's not like the rest of the customer's data is not valuable? If you don't feel comfortable storing passwords, the amount of data I'd trust you with is strictly zero.
Manufacturing and shipping a new computer can be worth it long term. Improvements in performance and energy consumption can offset the environmental impact after some time.

Of course for entertainment it’s difficult to judge, especially when you may have more fun on an old gameboy than a brand new 1000W gaming PC.
Would you rather your tax dollars were used to subsidize farmers or do you just want to pay more for food?

I agree they're not products that compete against each other. Unfortunately, the silly comparison has to be made, as less informed consumers are already claiming that the 128 GB RAM of Project Digits will obsolete workstation/server-class GPUs.
The problem with IQ is that it measures the cerebellum. People who lack abstract thinking will learn to rely on the patterns and statistics, and intuitively score high on the tests.
The second problem is that people who don't have abstract thinking don't comprehend abstract thinking, and so they think that people with abstract thinking are dumb.

Autocracts doesn't get democratically elected, as far as I understand. Trump is a democratically elected leader who will end his term at most in 2028. Autocracts tend to not be democratically elected (or to change the rules once they're elected to never be deposed). Zuckerberg will bend his knee to the Democrats if they win next term. This is not autocracy, this is just knowing where the wind blows.

Exactly. It’s mating dance. Nobody cares about one’s family. One must talk about good products, nice working culture, positive vibes, professional development on topic X, suitable experience in topic Y, similar finished project Z, interesting personalities of the interviewers. Motherload of well crafted lies. I learned a lot to lie during interviews. As a graduate I was absolute truth teller and every interview changed me a bit. After hundreds of them during a decade I am comfortable with any lie. So sad when I think about it.
That sounds like a satisfying if potentially dangerous payday
Sadly not enough people use password managers for it to be worth it for companies to target those flows.
Is there a reason that TOTP cannot be used as a second factor when using Passkeys?

Not sure why we suddenly went from 2 factors (password + TOTP) to 1 factor (passkey), even if passkeys themselves are better.

TOTP should at least be an option for the users.
Nobody has ever devised a bureaucratic rule that cannot be gamed.

Here, the test providers get paid by the test. Easy enough to kick back test payments to the doctors.

As for paying by capitation, why would they work extra hours to serve more patients? Or just see fewer patients and relax?

From the sources I could find quickly to refresh my memory:

> Over the weekend, Musk shared some of Roth’s past tweets and what appears to be an excerpt from his PhD thesis about Grindr, the LGBTQ social media app. Roth is quoted as saying that the app is possibly too “lewd or hook-up-oriented” for people under age 18 who are already using it, but that providers should “focus on creating safe strategies … for queer young adults” that aren’t just about hook-ups. Musk commented, “Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to use adult services in his PhD thesis.” On Monday, the tweet had more than 60,000 likes and received 15,000 retweets.

The thesis demonstrably exists (https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/60981d118b006454de9222b2/61d...), and it does have a roughly matching quote at the bottom of PDF page 257 (labelled page 248). The idea of businesses "crafting safe strategies" to "safely connect queer young adults" (the context is very clear that Roth refers to people under the age of 18) is very reasonably interpreted as Musk did. There are very obvious reasons why existing services advertise themselves as 18+ and attempt to enforce that, and it should be clear to everyone that any such service intended specifically for minors could not plausibly be rendered safe.

The idea that this observation constitutes an accusation of pedophilia is 100% media spin, and does not reflect Musk's words.

Ideas like Roth's are not rare on the American (or Canadian) left, especially where they intersect with LGBT etc. rights - which is how things like https://www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/episodes/drag-kids can come to exist and be vigorously defended. This empowers quite a bit of culture warring from the American right.
Putting this in my web console:

let susJsonString=JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify({foo:1})))
console.log("initial:", susJsonString);
try {
while(typeof susJsonString==='string') {
susJsonString = JSON.parse(susJsonString);
console.log("iteration:", typeof susJsonString, susJsonString);
}
} catch {
susJsonString = {};
}

I see:

initial: "\"{\\\"foo\\\":1}\""
iteration: string "{\"foo\":1}"
iteration: string {"foo":1}
iteration: object {foo: 1}

A comment explaining the sort of "sus" input it was designed to cope with may have been helpful.
>Rudeness, impoliteness, offense, why would we socially accept them?

Because multiple kinds of social space exist, and some people enjoy being able to interact with each other that way and are happy to accept being the butt of the joke their fair share of the time.
I'd love to do this but too often a call is made by an unknown number to me in response to an action, e.g i requested a dishwasher repair via email, i was called to schedule it by the contractor it was assigned to by my landlord. If i ignored that call it's likely a game of chasing them back up and potentially navigating PBX systems, etc

> it allows “allegations of mental illness or abnormality, based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird.’”

I think you misread that: it allows allegations of mental illness even on the basis of gender and religion, which before weren't allowed. It still allows allegations of mental illness based on other factors, because they were never disallowed in the first place.

I feel like there should be a way to implement this in a phishing-resistant way. Maybe instead of a QR code some sort of video stream that updates dynamically? That would at least be much more difficult for attackers to pass through to the victim.

I guess I would also appreciate the conversation if you had ever addressed my argument about attaching gears to a slower crystal, especially since that was in my very first very short comment. As is, I'm kind of annoyed.

Overall, I think the things you're saying about the expressiveness and power of digital logic are valid, but I don't think they really apply here when the logic is so minimal and could in theory be removed entirely.
yay! "ai" in my car!

1. require extra fingers to operate

2. takes you where you "need to go", not where you "want to go"

3. refuses to be corrected

4. confidently takes you to the wrong place, even when the need/want matrix above aligns

we don't need no stinkin' ai in cars

I understand the need for software/firmware which controls intricate operations of the vehicle, like VVT, etc, but the less software in my car, the better - the most important requirement of a vehicle is that it reliably gets you to where you need to go, and software introduces more points of failure (eg do a search on ford owners who are unable to start their Ranger pick-ups sometimes), where "ai" (llm slop-generators!) will simply make that worse. At some point, the only option will be to look for some pre-2000 car with a known good track record (eg Toyota Land Cruiser) to avoid all this baloney.

And I'm a software dev - so my opinion on software in vehicles is grounded in experience with software in myriad other domains.
You are assuming that what was interesting for the initial users is exactly the same that is interesting for the increasing mass of joining users, but as you increase the number of users, things that have mass appeal have more likes, retweets, etc. So an interesting but more niche post will potentially receive less average attention than before. Therefore, a niche community loses its defining qualities as the number of users increase.

For advertisement purposes, total engagement triumphs, so this is perfectly fine and lucrative for the platform itself, but the quality is not necessarily maintained.
Most companies are not Google. I did some hiring (3 or 4 positions) at a 10 year old stagnant growth “startup” and we got at most 10 applications per day to these engineering positions. This was 2022-2024 so not just the good years.

Agreed! I would think the target audience might include people who would like to be in the target audience.

Good post!!
Sorry, just to clarify — I meant examples of services that "feel" nice to interact with in the app; not examples of what they can be used for.
Here in Norway it seems to be a combination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers couldn't get their usual seasonal workers from other countries and it was touted as a great thing for the young generation as they could now "finally" get a summer job again.

Well, turned out a lot of the young generation didn't like the hours or the pay, and if they dud show up on time they worked at a fraction of the speed of the usual "imported" workers.

Was quite a bit of ruckus in the news about this, as farmers failed to get their crops harvested.

Not that I would have done much better, it's fairly brutal, monotonous work.
This whole post feels like a elaborate troll. Still, I cannot resist replying.

> testimonials left on a public profile

As a future candidate, what will you do if someone leaves a very negative testimonial about you?

> Actual qualifications

LOL. Then, it is basically impossible to hire most good programmers, because none of them will have "actual qualifications". To make a joke: Linus Torvalds applies for your latest CRUD role. Has no certifications. "Linus Torvalds? Who is this guy thinking he can apply with no certifications? What a silly git.
Next!"

> A written contract that what you say is your experience is true, and that I can use arbitration to seek damages if you lied.

Likewise: You will be personally liable if the candidate wishes to seek damages via arbitration because you oversold (read: lied about) the role during the interview.

Forget about tech for a moment: You can re-write it for hiring people in oil and gas field operations, and it seems just as absurd. Re-write it again for a hospital trying to hire nurses. Still absurd. I picked both of those industries because they are very much learn on the job. Yes, certs exist, but there are many people who work most of their career in those industries with few-to-no certs.

If no, likely an average programmer that wrote the application tracking system wouldn't be able to do that either.

You're saying that the "vast majority" of recruiters receive your CV (from wherever) and instead of contacting you on the email address on your CV they will Google around for your personal email address? I don't believe you. Why would anyone do that extra step when they already have your email address?
I don't buy it. That's clearly the sun until it reaches that red line and then it shrinks and disappears. I've never seen anything like that happen in the sky. Moon or sun. It's super weird.

I honestly don't want to go the route of arguing over language trivia. Let's say between C++ and C I always pick C. And my first serious language was C++ of the "modern cpp" flavour.

I mean, there are things I like: bits taken from the ML language family, tooling, sane approach to OOP, error handling.

But the culture of trying to pull everything in... It is a road to hell.

The difference between Rust and Go here is that Go took 10 years to come up with a generics proposal, and it does solve a massive problem with the language.
It's a bit choppy for me too. Reminds me of those sites that has a static, non-scrolling, background image.

This exact question comes to my mind in the last 2 hours after reading about the new Nvidia Digit supercomputer (which will retail at $3,000) and RTX 5090 GPU (which will cost $2,000). At exactly those moments, I saw this submission here.

Teddy Wahle did a good job explaining it to non-professionals who are using gaming laptops/PCs in their daily lives for content creation and such.

If I can think this question, imagine thousands (if not millions) of people who have or will have similar questions.
This paper you linked does not even involve aspartame. The only sweetener they experimented with is saccharin. You can check out the main figures from the link below:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265791239_Artificia...

I would be very reluctant to read too deep into this given saccharin is known to behave very differently in animal models - for a long time it was thought to cause bladder cancer, but follow up studies proved that it’s an idiosyncratic reaction only found in female lab rats and no other gender/species combination. Not to mention the dose used was unrealistic to begin with.

It’s entirely plausible that sugar analogs like sucralose and non-calorific sugar alcohols such as erythritol and maltitol can cause long term changes in the gut biome but high quality evidence is still lacking.

> Well sure you can. We know how much it costs, the budgets are public.

Nope. A realistic public transit network can NEVER be as efficient as a car network in a city. It's mathematically impossible, unless you sabotage your city so much, it's a hellscape (e.g. Manhattan).

> Completely zeroing out fares would be a single-digit percentage of the government budget.

So would be giving everyone a (cheap) car.

> Which is exactly the problem with your plan. If you build a rail line and set the price at $20/trip then people don't use it

Good, then don't build it! Easy peasy. Price is a GREAT signal. Subsidies, hidden fees, misplaced incentives and other crap lead to suboptimal outcomes.

You basically have a circular argument: transit is needed because it allows density, and density is good because it allows transit. And since we need transit, it must be cheap.

> But a $30 fare reduces ridership even more and soon there is no mass transit

Great, we need exactly that.

> which in turn makes it suck to drive because there are too many people in cars and your commute is 20 miles in two hours.

Nope. People will adapt and start to move out office space out of Downtowns.

And yes, this can work even at a gargantuan scale. Greater Houston Area has comparable population to New York City, yet it has faster commutes and far better living conditions.

Ideally, though, cities should stay reasonably small. 300k seems to be the sweet spot from the efficiency standpoint.

> Which in turn means less traffic congestion on the roads for the people in cars.

Nope. It just doesn't. Research shows that more transit use does NOT decrease traffic, except in very narrow cases (on arterials immediately parrallel to fast transit). Moreover, over time it leads to MORE traffic, as transit brings in density, and density results in more traffic.

> You're all for subsidies as long as they're paying the full cost?

I'm OK with giving poor people money so they can THEMSELVES decide on what they can use it, instead of trying to social engineer them by giving them "free" rides. When each ride costs $20 just in op-ex (true cost for Seattle, btw).

Richer people should pay the full cost of rides. This also applies to cars (although in my state car user fees already pay for 98% of all road maintenance and construction).

> The converse where you use means testing is not only bringing in high administrative costs, it creates a poverty trap where making a little more money causes you to lose the subsidy and thereby removes your incentive to do it.

That's exactly what transit is achieving. It keeps people trapped in poverty, by reducing their economic choices.
