This describes my wife almost exactly. Developed gluten and lactose intolerance right around 40. She was one of those people who had to have at least one glass of milk a day and a gallon of ice cream a week and that had to be cut out 100%. She reacts to very small amounts of milk and gluten products. Even top ramen flavor packets in a pasta salad contain enough wheat and milk to give her a miserable day. Much like HFCS, dairy and wheat are fillers in SO many products that it's become a chore to shop and almost impossible to eat out spontaneously anymore.
C# and other high level languages like Java are much safer than any low level language including Rust, in those languages you don't even have an unsafe mode
I think Twitter has two core users

1. People who want to debate / react to things / politics / just get angry apparently.

2. People who are like a town crier from times past, they want to be the first to know some event has happened and then go to their group chats & other social media to post about it.
That can certainly be the case, although usually I find that athletes are not the kind of people who should be considered inspirational.

But on the other hand, if you were to go watch a launch from SpaceX, You will find that there's already a crowd being inspired, experiencing joy, and it absolutely brings people together. So why not work more on that and less on sports?
Haha a lot like the flick where the guy is trapped in a phone booth for the entire movie.
> Not having metrics means it all depends on the gut feeling of executives.

Having spent a couple of decades in enterprise I can say that in my anecdotal experience it does so anyway. I've rarely seen any form of metrics put to good long term use. That's not to say that it doesn't happen, but benefit relaization seems to be something very few managers and teams actually work with beyond hitting some metric. It's usually the most obvious with changes in management. I've seen hordes of measurements thrown in the bin when a new manager took over a team and had different goals and values. On the flip side there are a lot of negative side effects of metrics over time. If you measure employees by the hour you create a culture of people who won't help each-other because how do they registrer that?

I mainly view productivity measurements as a HR tool for managers who don't actually know what their team members are doing. Which can happen for a lot of reasons, sometimes it can be because the manager is simply bad at people management, often it's because they are too busy. What is especially bad about them, however, is that people aren't consistently productive and what you really want to work with is how to keep them motivated. A motivated great employee can be unproductive in a period where they have small children, a loved one is sick and so on and an unmotivated employee can be very productive while simentaniously looking to leave your comapny.

I get why these tools exist though. Most managers are weak decision makers and HR supply them with tools that help them over come this.
They have the incentive, but not the technical capability or trust for line level staff to be able to login to the business’s Apple or Google account and change the hours.
But the point is that the foundation gives it hope to be a class-leading product in the future.

The lengths Apple went to build a secure and private system will make it stand out and help it hold up to regulatory scrutiny. Doing this now is better than doing it later.

In, let's say, 3 years, the features are more legitimately useful, the gatekeeping on new hardware will be a non-issue. In 3 years the majority of Apple's users will have an iPhone 15 Pro/iPhone 16 or newer. They are probably already mostly on M1 or newer Macs.

On the other hand, I totally agree that it's pretty useless as it stands right now. I also think that if their launch strategy is to have an amazing WWDC and then deliver 5-10% of the features in September, that's going to turn Apple into just another company that promises the moon and delivers gimmicks.
It's funny, man. I was on 4chan and reading Dostoyevsky waaaay back in 2008. Really wish we had a /lit/ back then :(

Edit: In case any newfriends are listening, I would also like to suggest the books of Philip K. Dick, including but not limited to A Scanner Darkly, Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, Ubik, and the VALIS trilogy.
Yeah. Too much stuff to manage
I played with pipes for a minute to manage an RSS ecosystem, but didn't build anything that I kept around.

The site seems to be down.

Let's say we all build wonderful apps on this, and then you run out of money or legal liability for hosting.

Is there a way to construct this so that we can export our Pipes to some standard format that the next person to pick up the torch could activate, and migrate to that?
Admittedly, I forgot about %f/%g and the decimal separator. I think the rest is fairly obscure (such as %lc for wide character to multibyte character translation). For integers you need %Id (variant digits) or %'d (grouping).

The decimal separator is a bit of a problem for JSON generation, too. Some systems have snprintf_l, but it's not very widespread.
A shameless betrayal of user intent.

This article calls it "a genius move".

Repulsive.
I think you misunderstood GP's very concise point. Allow me to expand.

A developer is a Turing Machine that produces low quality code -- and there is a hierarchy of developers (with the mythical 10X on top) that produce a time hierarchy of time classes depending on how fast they are. Depending on the complexity class you're in, the TM may not be able to produce for example a regex, they might be able to do it in exponential time, and the 10X is able to do it in linear time (linear in the number of characters and bugs). LLMs act as oracle that can produce a regex by just asking (an O(1) operation) so that changes the whole time class hierarchy of developers.

So it's the same as in complexity theory, introducing LLM oracles creates analog of the existing complexity hierarchies.
This is of particular interest for investors looking to reduce developer cost.
I agree. Case in point is that the author jumped in at the iPhone 7 which is a lot closer to current era iPhones than the original iPhone and had been refined over that many generations. My first iPhone was the 5s, my first Apple Watch was the 6. I tend to hang back and wait a few generations before adopting a new product from Apple. I suspect Apple Intelligence will be a lot better 1-2 years from now.
It can be done tastefully. I think this commenter is talking about the brief period where it was fashionable to install plugins or code on your site that mindlessly slaps "helpful" tooltips on random strings. I always assumed it was some AdSense program or SEO that gave you some revinue or good boy Google points for the number of external links on a page.

In the modern day we've come full circle. Jira uses AI to scan your tickets for non-English strings of letters and hallucinates a definition for the acronym it thinks it means, complete with a bogus "reference" to one of your documents that doesn't mention the subject. They also have RAINBOW underlines so it's impossible to ignore.
"Clean Up is best explained by this famous photo editing example . . . This tool allows you to capture a moment in time as you wish it happened, not as it actually happened."

FALSE. Apple defines a photo as a record of something that actually happened. iPhones take photos. They doen't auto-swap a high-res moon in for the real one like Samsung phones do.

Clean Up (like crop) is just an editing feature, manually applied after a photo already exists, and using it effectively changes the image from a photo into an "edited image", the same way using Photoshop does.

Definitions of What a Photo Is:

Apple - "Here’s our view of what a photograph is. The way we like to think of it is that it’s a personal celebration of something that really, actually happened.
Whether that’s a simple thing like a fancy cup of coffee that’s got some cool design on it, all the way through to my kid’s first steps, or my parents’ last breath, It’s something that really happened. It’s something that is a marker in my life, and it’s something that deserves to be celebrated."
- John McCormack, VP of Camera Software Engineering @ Apple

Samsung - "Actually, there is no such thing as a real picture. As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you’re seeing], and it doesn’t mean anything. There is no real picture. You can try to define a real picture by saying, ‘I took that picture’, but if you used AI to optimize the zoom, the autofocus, the scene — is it real? Or is it all filters? There is no real picture, full stop."
- Patrick Chomet, Executive VP of Customer Experience @ Samsung

Google - "It’s about what you’re remembering,” he says. “When you define a memory as that there is a fallibility to it: You could have a true and perfect representation of a moment that felt completely fake and completely wrong. What some of these edits do is help you create the moment that is the way you remember it, that’s authentic to your memory and to the greater context, but maybe isn’t authentic to a particular millisecond."
- Isaac Reynolds, Product Manager for Pixel Cameras @ Google

That’s an easy one to answer.

Corporations don’t have police or taxation power and so have more limited impact on your individual freedom.

In a “free market” you can choose what firms you work for and with, except the government.

The government would be more efficient in an autocratic leadership. But government efficiency is not the societies efficiency and well being
I mean TextEdit. It definitely supports this to some degree, at least. Try typing “4 * 2 =” on a new line.

Heck even Safari on my phone autofilled “8” when typing this comment.
If both sides agree on a standard definition of harm, maybe some of the debate could be solved. For example, is the feeling of potential harm, harm?

I saw a local government debate recently about a local policy that would require significant costs to remedy. Proponents of the change say that harm is coming soon, because it has happened elsewhere. Is that enough reason to redirect funds from important services, especially when there’s no evidence that the proposed remedies are effective?

Worse, it’s almost impossible to participate in the discussion without being given a derogatory and inaccurate label by one side or the other. Pragmatism seems to be dead.
Jamaican bobsled team is basically the nation state sponsored-ish equivalent of that guy from one of the plains states that won a bunch of medals in downhill skiing a few years back.
This doesn’t pass a basic sniff test. We mostly don’t eat food to replace our physical form. We mostly eat food to fuel the processes of our physical form. Big difference. Like trying to put steel, rubber, and plastic into a car’s gas tank.

Survey on Trust and Numeracy
Precisely! Rather than sell a lot my nr 1 priority was to have enjoyable conversations. nr 2 is to explain the company.

I aced it but at the time it didn't seem like elite sales, not to anyone, not even to me. I just felt this is how it should be done.

Then I ran into a manager 3 years after I quit. He said, I don't know how you've done it but we still get clients from your work, a lot of them.

Apparently, when people [actually] need something they look at some business directory. If they then see a name they know and remember having an enjoyable conversation where they've learned all the ins and outs from someone who didn't even try to sell them anything... who do you think they are going to call?

I was able to do thousands of calls per day because I wasn't trying to force anything and the process was enjoyable.

If there is one trick to share here: Make people talk, listen to them, pay close attention to the speed at which they talk and the duration of their pauses then gradually try to match it. If someone is super energetic and talks really fast I unload the material on them slightly faster, make a joke and thank them for their time. If they talk slow feed them one sentence at a time and have them confirm they got it.

I'm pretty sure people were quite confused by my not trying to sell them anything. this is what we do, this is what we offer, thanks for listening, enjoy your day I already know they aren't buying. I could definitely add a 3 minute grind to the end but why? Waste energy annoying people? Better get to the next customer.
Tempeh is awesome. It has kind of a funky taste at first but eventually I came to prefer its nutty, sometimes crunchy-ish taste. It's now the essential ingredient in my stir frys.

Trader Joes seems to be the cheapest source of it if you live near one. $2.30 per block or so.
I was an early user of Macs; the first computer I owned was a Mac Plus. I didn't own a PC until the 1990s.

Most of the intro to this is credulous hooey. Macs weren't "bicycles for the mind" in some magic way that was different from PCs. What the early ones had was 1) a better and much more standardized interface, and 2) task switching that worked.

As for the AI tools, image generation might occasionally be useful for a D&D game, but otherwise nothing on offer at the moment has much value. And the value of image generation (for me) is pretty small.
True, but is that unusual? I know that U.S. notes are same size, but that seems to be the exception to me?

I legitimately don't see how your point meaningfully connects to the comment you're responding to
His video about the jukebox is a great example to show people when they ask how important microprocessors and microcontrollers were when they were introduced.

There was a time when the mint would sell coins and bills at face value. The problem is, people started using that for manufactured spending to rack up credit card points. They added a premium to prevent this.
Cows have huge digestive system, and chew all day long — to be able to extract nutrients from plants. You, as a human, probably have more productive uses of your day.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't eat veggies. I am just saying that staying long-term healthy on a vegan diet seems to me much more complicated than just eating meat. Of course, eating a single product all the time is unhealthy, no matter what product — every living organism requires variance.
Most printers at the time didn't have fonts either.
I was giving this my attention until the author included a long quote from Steve Jobs from the author's own dream

Sorry, what?

Apart from the level of dream-detail recalled being highly dubious, quoting your own hallucination of Steve Jobs to help with your argument about generative AI being useless (and missing the irony) is downright weird.

Also Math notes is basically the same thing search engines have been able to do for over a decade now. Enter a sum, get an answer.
I would love to do something like this except Verizon only provides IPv4 in my area. Some of the. Workarounds, like IPv6 tunnels, seem to have big drawbacks like being blocked by major providers.

I wish it were possible to force major operating systems to prefer IPv4 over IPv6, which might be a viable workaround to a less reliable IPv6 workaround, but such a configuration appears to be unfeasible for mobile phones, Windows, and perhaps MacOS too.
It stood out to me too - could be from some comment in the code.
The explanation I've heard for these is it's a low-effort bot comment that builds activity on the commenting account.

Whether that actually increases the value of an account or not, I'm not sure. But it's enough that spammers seem to think that having comments & replies on an account.

It may also be purchased comments to improve "engagement" metrics on videos for the creator.

This was a ton of fun!

Just one complaint (with minor spoilers, sort of): in the end stage of the game, I walked away for a few minutes to make breakfast, and when I returned, I'd already "won" with no ability to see the final state of the game, and without any way to "replay" the counters ticking up to 100% :(

I also browse with disabled JS by default, enabling it on selected sites for selected JS sources. It has several advantages:

1) Web is much faster.

2) Often JS makes continuous CPU load, raising speed of CPU fan to noisy levels.

3) Sometimes JS is used for animations, i hate animations on web pages.

4) Sometimes JS is used to auto-play videos (although recent Firefox with proper settings ca block that even with JS enabled in most cases), i hate auto-play videos. That was my primary reason to switch to disabled JS in the past.

5) Often cookie and other pop-ups are implemented with JS and do not show when JS is disabled (while the web still works).

6) Most ads disappear even without ad-blocker.

If you want to be that pedantic it hasn't been printing money for decades since it is all digital.

Another good resource for cheap meals is this free book:

> By the late 1970s or early 1980s, typewriters had electronic memory. They had error correction "tape" so you could erase mistakes.

Sure, there were electronic typewriters where you could type an entire line or two into memory before printing it. And, as you say, typewriters with whiteout reels that allowed you to backspace.

But if you've started a new paragraph, and you realise you want to go back and edit the previous one, and everything else needs to move down a line to accommodate? Good chance you're throwing the page away and starting from scratch.

Or you're cutting and pasting in the literal sense, using scissors and glue.

Typewriters were difficult enough that "typist" was a professional job - and many workers wouldn't do their own typing, instead recording messages onto tiny tape cassettes for a typist to type up later on. There were even foot-pedal-controlled cassette players, so typists could type with their hands and control the dictaphone tape with their feet!
Before I waste any more time, is there any evidence possible that would satisfy you?
