Thanks for the tip, I'll need to try it out.

Performance is really abysmal with C++ development and it's the biggest reason for avoiding Xcode for me. Actions such as completion and contextual jumping just keeps lagging on a M3 Pro even if everything should be indexed. VS Code with the usual C++ plugin and CLion have no problems with the same codebase.

I like the integration with different sanitizers in Xcode, some of the visualizations are pretty neat. Instruments is quite good as well.
I'm guessing the author didn't play Cyberpunk at launch -- the cars and pedestrians would blink out of existence if you turned around. I couldn't help but think that Rockstar had figured this out 19 years prior in GTA3. :/
> not a lookup table

You can imagine the classic attention mechanism as a lookup table, actually.

Transformers are layers and layers and layers of lookup tables.

No sheep in Canary Wharf? They have a farm there, don't they?
A lot of things exist. But to become a go-to standard a good timing is required. Next.js was getting popular right at the time Facebook abandoned 'create-react-app' template, and many people adopted Next.js even if they didn't need SSR. Vite didn't exist back then.
Does it actually never connect with the antenna disconnected? Most wireless receiving devices I’ve used will generally still work a bit with no antenna.
Unfortunately, this won’t solve most of the problem with looking for a job - especially for remote jobs.

If you are applying blindly to an ATS, you have already lost. Every remote job literally gets hundreds of applications and if your skill is generic - ie “full stack developer” or even “I can do leetCode and got into BigTech” - it’s hard to stand out from the crowd.

I like that metric. If we instead consider "time to cows" then Cambridge does quite well. Midsummer Common, Stourbridge Common and The Backs have (seasonal) cows.

Why not just take a weekend to fly to where used cars are unrusted, and drive one back?

Also, there are quite a few well made older cars that are fully galvanized and don’t rust. I know a few people in the Northeast still driving 1980s Volvo 740s, still unrusted after nearly 40 years of salty roads. 1987 and later had the best rustproofing. I believe many older Audis also are galvanized.
lol, genius :D

I remember a guy at school in the 90s talking about the QL. He said it had a 32 bit operating system, but if you turned it upside down, the keys fell out.
I guess we're talking from a completely different range within spectrum of laptop computing. Hinges, shells, flex cables, power ports, etc. all tend not last longer than hardware end of relevance for me unless it's one of rugged ones, but my use case is to throw into a bag and strategically yeet onto another luggage kinds.
That's nice. Here's how that will go:

User: Hey IT, a site I'm trying to use says that I can't use Outlook, can we switch provider

IT: Heck no. Are there any alternatives

User: I guess I'll try to find them.
Sadly programming topics have not gotten much traction on BlueSky. You don't even have a real category for it (just generic Technology) as it's not all that popular. Most the programming related feeds are majority zero engagement.
I'm an architect with decades of development experience. I know how the tools, technologies, and frameworks work - but I don't necessarily know all the little details like an expert would. I find the AI tools cover that well. I can architect and design the solution, create a skeleton of the solution, and then use AI to rapidly fill in the details and complete the implementation.

It's been working well for me. I don't know how well it would work for junior developers though, because I see some things AI creates that don't look right to me. Then I have to dig in more. Still, as a tool, it's been pretty awesome.

To address your last point, I think there's still a future for publishers and online training courses. They need to focus on the "big picture" - the concerns of architects and designers, and what good practices look like. The publishers also need to publish all the details, so when the AI looks "off" you have resources to double-check.

>The problem is, they are hugely incentivised to hype to raise funding.

Hype is extremely normal. Everyone with a business gets the chance to hype for the purpose of funding. That alone isn't going to get several of the biggest tech giants in the world to pour billions.

Satya just said, "he has his 80 billion ready". Is Microsoft an "AI foundation company" ? Is Google ? Is Meta ?

The point is the old saying - "Put your money where your mouth is". People can say all sorts of things but what they choose to spend their money on says a whole lot.

And I'm not saying this means the investment is guaranteed to be worth it.
Unfortunately, selling it to repo men is a widely accepted practice.

True. Federation is a disaster. Like you say, the simple use case of having consistent likes and replies doesn't even work.

This breaks conversations. An OP hosting a popular thread will see the same/similar reply many times because people can't even see each other's replies.

Federation makes discovery and search impossible or at the very least extremely hard to implement, whilst this is such a core feature of social networks.

Federation is extremely wasteful. People hosting instances with just a few thousands of users are reporting gigantic bandwidth consumption and hefty bills. Not to mention storage bills for all that media.

Federation does not allow for the independence it suggests. A bitter activist can advocate for other admins to defederate you and then your instance is cut off. You're not independent, you answer to the rule of the purists and the Mastodon way.
...back in the day we had this partner who emigrated from undisclosed_balkan_country to the USA in the 90s. 20 years later his daugther in her teens gets $20k funding from the school principal, for her pet fashion project (not even STEM!). Her school is not even a top one, just a private school somewhere in major USA city.

On the contrary, even though we've had top marks in the top math school in the same country, we'd never ever hoped to get even $200 for a project. Were we good enough to build a computer - of course, it's not that hard once you get the basics, and once you've done x86 assembly in your early teens. But it was just impossible to even think about spending the money, or loosing them per se.

Exeter Philips school has quote "700 acres, 147 buildings, the world's largest high school library". And I'm sure also lots of engineering development facilities where you can actually get your hands dirty. I can imagine the progress had I found myself there by some miracle. This kid is absolute winner to be in it, but I bet his parents must have also won the lottery ticket, one way or another, cause UK education is crazy expensive.

Now, in order to not make this story super sad, let's admit that, even though we as schoolkids didn't have access to such campus and funding, by last year in school I could track music with FT2; build Linux kernel and write ASM/C/C++/Perl; operated a BBS; debugged the IE9 source with VXDs and all; took part in writing two demoscene productions, that we still proud of; and finally, but not lest being a bunch of smart kinds in their 20s we started a hosting company in 1998(or '99) which soon handled the amount of traffic which equaled that of the whole country. This all with no GPTs, no Google searches, not even forums that much back then. So of course, it matters, that you are not a dumbass, after all.

But nobody ever gave us the security to pursue dreams the way this kid does. And I'm absolutely convinced we could've put together a laptop or something along the line. I say put together, because a lot of these parts are easily available now, one click away, nothing like what it was back in the day. He's not producing the chips, neither the screen, neither putting elements together, but the chassis and kbd, and does some wiring. Of course - fascinating for a teenager to do, but you see, teenagers are not so stupid, and never were. And those in top schools are particularly bright and outpace many adults in many areas. From the images I can tell this is a school projects, so perhaps it took also a little mentoring to do it.

This always make me think about two things - it absolutely matters which school you are lucky to have gone to; and very likely all talent is lost soon after high-school, because... reasons.

I tend to forget that Reddit even has a feed, I just go to subreddits directly. I definitely agree that automated feeds are a huge concern, maybe the biggest downside of social media. This is why I'm currently a fan of Bluesky: chronological posts from people I follow, just what I always wanted.

Pretty strange. It misses a pond that is completely obvious on the lidar elevation map.
Because there are export controls on those middle-men countries. Data center GPUs are controlled under the Export Administration Regulations, putting them under broadly the same regulatory regime as critical components for fighter jets or ballistic missiles. If that isn't working to at least severely restrict China's access to GPUs, then we have much bigger things to worry about.

Testing, Terminology and Misperceptions
I don't like those predatory businesses. I think many games are like that nowadays. But not all businesses are like that. I think a game like Factorio is honest and respectable. It doesn't have any subscription models, you buy it once and own it forever. Technologically, AFAIK, it's using old fashioned technology (Allegro was started in 1990). The innovation is in the gameplay part.
Isn't this how Overstock.com made their nut as well?
Thanks for at least confirming that I'm not horribly out of touch :)

Also I don't think your OT remark is OT at all - it sort of demonstrates which domains have actual traction nowadays and why.
Beating the dragon is very anticlimactic, but it's still the "end" of the progression path as designed by the developers. Or at least it was before the Elytra was added, now that's the actual end.

But either way, reaching that end goal usually prompts people to ask themselves: "what now?" Once you have an Elytra, you've basically unlocked creative flight in survival, and that's pretty much where survival itself ends, now you're just playing creative except you still have to grind for building materials. There's no better item to go for, so what's the point? Most people stop playing shortly after, and this is where the whole "2 week Minecraft phase" thing originates from.
I've gone to similar industrial auction sites in WA. Sometimes there's gold to be had for pennies on the dollar, other times it's trash. Either way, I've got some good equipment out of them for very cheap.
When comparing countries of different sizes - the fairest way to do so is on a per capita basis [1] and the US is still way ahead of China.

Places like the UK have simply shipped their emissions overseas - then complain about these countries rising emissions.
A comprehensive review of lunar-based manufacturing and construction
this is ~2 year old info from a presentation I can't dig up quick, but iirc the numbers were roughly $4 - 5 per kg of green hydrogen from western PEM systems, and about $1 even for grey hydrogen (steam reformed nat gas).

at the time rumor had it that the chinese alkaline systems were producing green hydrogen for $2 - 3/kg

the inflation reduction act put some monster subsidies in place that added up to something like $3 or $4 per kg, so effectively they were trying to force the economies of scale by moving the price drops forward several iterations.

of course the new administration is already ripping apart that legislation, so its doubtful much of that will pan out now (if you ever thought it would).

in the meantime, the price of a kwh of wind/solar has continued to decline rapidly, so the original $4-5 estimates can be reasonably eyeballed down to $3 - $4 now. still not enough, but in a decade it might be.

of course as with all of climate change economic math, so long as pollution is free its difficult to cost compete with.
Glad to hear that a stable 60 is possible on the steam deck. Racing games are, for me, some of my favorites to play handheld.
Yes. They are being exterminated. The earthworms have almost dissapeared. The ants seem to still be able to survive though.

without getting into my thoughts on this/your feelings, these types of hobby groups are closed loops and generally a sort of side quest in life.

Join a random volunteering event thru a local hospital, Veteran's affairs, shelter, hiking trails etc. You will organically meet people from outside your social strata/norms who you will organically hear from/reach out to and discover their organic hobbies/interest and gain a network.
Why volunteer? It's free, quick, rewarding, and generally weeds out weirdos.
Yeah, that's when they're still economically dependent on there being masses of people to produce wealth for them.

When the mass of people have no economic value to contribute to those in power, then what?

Will they just feed and house those people?
Funny enough Proton.me has some of the most predatory pricing tiers I've come across as a consumer. Straight out of the U.S Cable TV industry playbook where they'd put the few channels you wanted on a much more expensive tier with way more than you wanted.

There have got to be pathalogical uses out there where this will cause unbounded memory growth in well-formed (according to the API) programs, no?

Interesting to see this _introduce_ a ‘bug’ (unbounded memory growth) for these programs that follow the API in order to ‘fix’ programs that don’t (by using the API in multiple threads). Pragmatism over dogma I guess. Leaves me feeling a bit sketched out though.
That, is only your problem if you make it your problem. Ideally, you wouldn't. But like I already said, it depends on if you're willing to sacrifice the security of all your users because, money I guess?

Eventually you have to choose doing what's right, and doing what's expedient. I can't draw your line for you. Thankfully for me I've always been able to always draw mine at protecting users from abuse.

Not surprised. I've had a few interactions with Subaru connected services dev team as an external contractor from another car company, everyone was everyone else's cousin, friend, homeboy from India. Nepotism was rampant, no one wanted to listen to advice, a strong culture of corporate antibodies had formed. I'm surprised they even got it to work at this level.

> But if it's for some personal project that you're putting on Github, does it matter?

I don't think the fear is that they'll steal code you'll end putting publicly on GitHub, but everything else. I guess there is some fear that it won't just analyze and process what you currently have open, but might scrape your computer for more data and so on.

I personally don't believe ByteDance would be stupid enough to even attempt exfiltrating files from developers machines, which typically are better protected than the average user computer, just trying to see the perspective of others with a more charitable reading :)
In the case of starlink, it's completely useless without the phased array antenna because the signals are highly directional.

While the app is cool, the thing that blew my mind is that the entire app was coded by Vercel's v0 agent. In other words: I did not write a single line of code to create the app (though my teammate did write the backend scraper & DB filler by hand).

UCSF had a surplus store in south San Francisco. I worked nearby and we’d make it an office excursion occasionally to go there at lunch. One coworker found a fresnel lens, our company bought a server rack there… they had small auctions for the more expensive items but you could also just buy things… sorry, this was so long ago I can barely remember other than the dusty smell and the comfy feeling of wandering the warehouse.

I just looked it up and it looks like they still use the warehouse but now sell everything online.

Interests being what they are, one doesn't just find things interesting. If it's for the people and there's little actual interest in the activity itself, then it'll show and there will eventually be a breakdown. If lucky, one just might find a new genuine interest with people one is interested in, but that's being really lucky. Maybe a "Tinder for Interests" could work.
> Number 1 why you need a car connected to the internet all the time

To open the car with an app (programming against Bluetooth is harder than calling a web API), or honk the horn if you lost it in a large parking lot.

> And how you're not required to sign at least 10 forms to confirm you understand that ALL of your travel data will be recorded and distributed at will.

Legally speaking, I believe that depends on your local privacy laws. Practically speaking, car makers (and government agencies) love these features for troubleshooting and tech support, or for flagging crashes before any authorities or local press have time to arrive (think Tesla).

Don't ask them about finding your stolen car, though. Then the data may suddenly not be available.
in case you don't know this only has limited effect, cause you can open it again in a private browser. besides the search works with the procast setting, and we're not talking external constraints, people, us, me,... lack at this point internal mental defenses against the negative impact of social media.
