That is a better analogy, yeah, and much more convincing. If this is delivering at an equivalent pace (same year had a state complete their I-70) then I am convinced.

I think your other comment about it being harder because it's an overly complicated plan doesn't convince me. The complexity and feasibility of a plan are also characteristics of its quality.

But this comment I buy. Color me convinced.
The million dollar salary thing is compelling. I would certainly switch careers from ML engineering for a million bucks of cash comp, especially in a low CoL location :)
Also, the "30 years old" thing mentioned in the GP seems excessive, surely if they were really desperate to staff up, they could loosen that age limit.
My tech stack is pretty fragmented, and a lot of tools don't talk to each other. What integrations do you support?
"Dead" apparently means "no longer the unquestioned industry leader" - which seems like an odd definition of "dead" to me, but ok.

The industry in question being the union of personal desktop and laptop computers, associated software, and internet-related technologies.

What actually happened was the internet-related sector broadened to include new sub-sectors - mobile, search, social, media, cloud, e-commerce, and ad tech - all of which Microsoft either ignored, failed at, or didn't dominate.

The old industries are still there but they're the tail, not the dog.

The dog is far more consumer and consumer-adjacent. MS culture was always more aligned with corporate goals and office productivity. MS never got social and lifestyle computing, which is where the industry was heading. It still doesn't, even in gaming.

AI is going to see a similar shift to a completely different mode of computing, but it's too early to tell how that will work out. At a guess it's going to be much more directly political than anything we've seen so far. (Not in a good way, IMO.)
Not sure what you're talking about, I was replying to a refutation of the following quote by the grand parent commenter:

> If I didn't like my working conditions, I would look for a different job.
I organize a lot of events for a rugby team, and our events are now all on Partiful.

Maybe it'll go downhill like Evite and Facebook Events - but for now it's quite good.
> If Android users have to login to a website to use this, what's the appeal?

I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else to use this. It just was pointing out you don't need Apple accounts or devices to participate opposed to something like Facebook events.

> There are hundreds of simple meeting/event webapps out there

Okay? Go crazy using those! But don't claim that this requires an Apple device to create or join events (like the OP I was responding to). And don't claim that this requires an Apple Account to join events (like many other commentators are).

Thanks for the recommendation. The libraries near me only have the text version. Sometimes this happens if the audio book is an Audible exclusive. Audible can pay out as little as 25% of sales to authors, for audiobooks that aren't exclusive.
Whatever you think about Musk, he is a lot more transparent than other big donors and people who vie for influence in the USG. He is an idiot at times for sure, but he is an idiot publicly.

It's insane to me that people on the so called left are going to bat for the status quo, the status quo that protects bureaucrats and lobbyists and friends giving friends contracts and salaries.
Friction in government is a good thing, otherwise the will of the few would outweigh the many and catastrophic projects would be allowed all of the time. Yes men could have done it but they wouldn’t maintain it like the beavers and they certainly wouldn’t have done it in a way that fits with natural cycles like the beavers did. This is more of a case for fewer nature altering projects and more restoration of ecosystems
My experience of copilot is that it’s completely useless and almost completely incapable of anything. 4o is reasonable though.
The US air space is civilian ATC. Air Force One couldn't go anywhere if the area control and destination airport were down.
This just seem more cumbersome than just writing the software to begin with.

Its a problem of programming languages and definitions.
I believe (as a layman) that motion sickness in vehicles is caused by a mismatch between what the vestibular system perceives and what the eyes do. However, headset-based VR systems have an additional issue called vergence-accommodation conflict, which is where the focus of each individual eye isn't at the same distance as the stereoscopic vision of both eyes together.

My prediction is that one day (in twenty years, perhaps) we'll have miniature holograms for displays and thus get a proper match between accommodation and vergence!

I’m not sure what you’re arguing here. It’s backwards compatibility if a given version of say, Photoshop, designed to run on Windows N, now runs on Windows N+1 as well… at least from the perspective of the OS, which is what we’re discussing?

It’s forwards compatibility if we’re discussing the idea of the program being compatible with future versions of Windows, but that’s neither the point of what was suggested, nor is it realistic — breaking changes, or compatibility, are going to be at Microsoft’s hands and largely an intentional decision at a platform level, not something an individual developer can shore up against.

Sort of! Beavers build dams as an instinctive response to the sound of running water.

If you have pet beavers in your house, and down put a phone playing the sound of running water, they'll start dragging stuff over to where the phone is.
One of the rare marketing misses for Apple is naming the app, box, and service (with + added on) the same.
I disagree. If people want to call it "main" that is OK and I do not have an objection, although slavery and racism is not a part of it. Using different words does not solve slavery or racism or anything like that.

There are some minor advantages of "main", but many of the previous objections to the change are invalid and based on ignorance of the working of git; once I figured out how it works, I do not have an objection, since you can call the branches whatever you want to do anyways, and the names "master" is not something special anyways except for what it is called if you do not otherwise specify a name. Furthermore, existing repositories on GitHub are not automatically changed, and they added function for renaming branches (which can be useful for other reasons too), so for these reasons I think what they did is good.

Some minor benefits of "main" is that it is shorter than "master" and starts with the same two letters as "master" (which might sometimes matter, e.g. if the branch names are listed in alphabetical order and you want to find them in the list). These benefits seems like only minor benefits to me, though.

However, my opinion about the change in SQLite, changing a table name from SQLITE_MASTER to SQLITE_SCHEMA, is different. I think that the new name better describes what it is for (it is the table for the schema of the database), but I would not have made that change, since it can cause problems. They did consider some of them (such as authorizer callbacks, which is something that I had thought of too before I knew what they did about it), and work around them, but that just makes it more messy, so I still think it was a bad idea, but now it is done and it would not be good to undo this change, either. If I was in charge of it I would have deferred the change until SQLite4, rather than changing SQLite3. (There is also the issue of the SQLITE_SCHEMA error code.)
Do you think Trump is better? Because that is what you're getting from a policy of holding out for a good enough opponent

You're free to be a Trump supporter of course, but if you're not and you're still enabling Trump to win because you don't like the Democrats "enough", your actions aren't aligning with your best interests
iMessage has been compatible with RCS for months now.
That disconnect is why some people argue the debt limit is unconstitutional - Congress authorized the spending and if they didn’t authorize enough revenue the executive is still obligated to spend regardless.

To do otherwise the executive has to pick and choose what to fund.

The topic usually gets raised every time we get close to a debt limit. If we truly broached the limit it’s possible the Biden and Obama administrations would have just ignored the limit since the consequences of the full faith and credit of the US failing are so dire and there’s a solid argument it’s the least bad option Constitutionally.
Have you noticed any difference in picking up the language(s) yourself? As in, do you think you'd be more fluent in it by now without all the help? Or perhaps less? Genuine question.
Update - I chatted with some devs at wikipedia, and they confirmed I'm not hitting their servers hard, which is great.
I was in ATC training in the 90s and this was discussed among teachers and ATC personell. The common saying was that pilots would disappear from cockpits before ATC personell were removed, at least from tower control. There are typically three kinds of ATC: Tower control, approach/departure control and area control for controlling planes when cruising. I haven't followed this in years but my impression is that better monitoring equipment allows for fewer area controllers to control bigger areas. I believe area control is the most likely to get automated but this is quite a guess. Approach control is about using radar (or no radar, procedural approach control is a thing) lining up planes to land on a runway. The planes are handed over from approach to tower control when the plane is on final approach. There is also ground control for taxiing on larger airports. But, not least. Do not underestimate the value of having trained personell using radio to great effect. Any belief that modern touch gadgets are better than radio is silly. Humans are also very capable at speaking while performing advanced tasks.
There is no commerce crossing the DMZ. There are no tourists crossing the DMZ. Hundreds of millions of people cross the southern US border every year. You cannot compare these two borders in any realistic way.

Boy does this feel like the author has never actually used any AI tools for writing code.
Yes it was intentional, but this is a different case. If a meaningful percentage of people don't think they can attend an event because they don't own an iPhone, that's a big problem for adoption of this product. Whether that will happen or not, I have no idea, but I think that's what the person you responded to was saying.
I've put them up there now. Is it better?
I must be the only dumbass that sees billionaires running the world and compare things to atlas shrugged instead of 1984. Hell, Brave New World fits better than 1984.
The US government has a lot of funding mechanisms, the economy does not rely solely on private investment. It is just that the scale of venture investment dwarfs a lot of even governmental investment in most other countries, money made from previous ventures so of course they'd deploy that capital.
French police use tear gas on protestors, and in 1980, the South Korean government fired on and killed protestors. I don't think it's just the tear gas; I think it has more to do with the fact that we're way more distributed (it's very practical for most French people to descend on Paris than it is for US residents to descend on DC) and culturally not in the habit.
Yeah. You could argue that nature has been planning this dam for 2.4 million years. (Though, granted, it spent no money doing so.)
This looks interesting - looking forward to see where it heads!

An entirely nitpicky nitpick: The demo GIF rubs me the wrong way. I know, you want to show of all the features quickly, but what I see when I watch it is a reviewer who doesn't actually read the code, just clicks "reviewed" everywhere, and throws in a slightly patronizing "Good job!"

If you have a moment, you might want to think about a flow that's better at demonstrating how it improves code reviews delivered.

But, as I said, nitpick. There's a lot of potential here!
In the US, using iMessage involves flipping a switch in some Messages setting--and everyone I know in the US just texts, except for texting with international folks.
absolutely not. both because it's awful for implementing parsers, but also it introduces lots of extra hoops for interop.

its build system is also terrible for targeting lots of varying platforms and feature sets.

it has a custom IR that isn't helpful interacting with other systems.

its runtime is really nice but it's a black box and not suitable for interop.
I believe Haskell uses it as well.
Yeah, the submission heading should indicate that there is a high risk for a sales pitch in there.

Agile is not something a small investor can win at. You can win by reading the 10k and such and then following what is happening in the real world and thus predict what will happen. You should be able to make a nice income doing this full time, but it won't be get rich, and probably won't be even tech levels. Note that I said full time. You will follow many companies and conclude the market is right and thus not do better, while what you need is the one where you can figure out in advance the company will do good/bad before the market does and thus buy/sell in advance.

Peter Lynch famously (he was then manager of the world's largest fund) got out of Gap when he noticed his daughters didn't buy anything there for school and that was his clue that they wouldn't do well next quarter. Gap as had ups and downs since. This is the type of research you will be doing all the time, trying to find a evidence of a company that will disappoint before anyone else knows. This is hard hard hard, and is always a matter of luck. Remember by the time it is public the large players already know and have acted (that is they get alerts the instant it becomes public and are first in line to act on it, technically you get the information at the same time and can act as fast but in practice you will not)
These Viture One Pro glasses seem good, I might interested in one of these. I wear glasses, don't like wearing contacts, so I wonder how they would work for me. The video (at 1:18) shows that the Pro version has 2 dials to set focus. But the product page says that's to fix "blurry edges". Is this something I could use without my glasses? or will I need to wear contacts?

| You can easily adjust each VITURE One XR Glasses lens to your prescription (0 to -5.00D) with convenient knobs located on the top of the frames.

| If your prescription doesn't fall into this range, no worries – to make sure everyone has access to a clear VITURE One experience, we’ve also developed a prescription frame that you can have your own lenses fitted into. This frame attaches to VITURE One XR Glasses magnetically for easy on and off.
The application process IMHO is quite complex (thwy want compute estimations and CVs etc).However if you figure how ist works it is at least relatively easy to get batches of 100k GPU hours via EuroHPC. Currently few calls are open, but there is typically at least also national infrastructure. Again this is nothing compared to what OpenAI or Meta has access to.
I just got 25k node hours on Meluxina for a fine-tune project. My colleague got quite some GPU compute oh Germany's Tier3 NHR Clsuter (Horeka with >700 A100/H100 GPUs).

> And, tbh, democracy, freedom of speech, and gender equality are pretty great values to endorse.

But none of those are "innately" Western. Most of the current West do not have free speech. Western civilization ( going back to socrates ) has been against democracy. Not to mention western civilization has been against gender equality.

The values you listed are actually innately anti-western values counter to 3000 years of western tradition.

If you argued for latin, greek language, history, civilization,culture ( something actually innately western ), then I'd agree.
They do have cross broader trade and movement of people. I think SK is NK’s 4th largest trading partner right now, but there’s also some movement of people.

But that stuff is independent of length which is why I mentioned trade separately.
I think I agree for the most part in practice. The vast majority of changes I make are on the nondescript (or actually description-containing) @ changes / "branch" tips, and then either become described changes, or get squashed / split / rebased / etc. into the right place.
The Ocaml compiler is significantly faster than the Zig one. It's one of the fastest I've seen.
Are you claiming TSLA is fundamentally worth less than $43.6B, and the mere fact that Elon owns 23% of TSLA shares is worth four hundred billion dollars?

I know that selling 23% of a company in one go would move the market, but a 90% haircut would be bonkers.

Or are you claiming TSLA is special, and the haircut would be 90% just for Elon and just for TSLA because that particular stock is super overvalued due to his celebrity and reality distortion field? That seems a little more believable, but this was a discussion on net worth of generic billionaires to start.
Lynx can actually automatically integrate with many dev tools!

You can directly connect Lynx to your environment by installing a lightweight agent on your servers (devbox or dedicated server). This agent leverages unix commands to interface with your systems—including your codebase, logs, metrics, tracing, CI/CD, and cloud services.

The agent uses “chain-of-thought-execution” to automatically explore resources, tooling, configurations, and other context within your environment, so you don’t need to explicitly set up any integrations. We do find that setting specific instructions (e.g. /path/to/git_repo, where credentials are stored, etc) helps Lynx be more efficient, and we set up an easy UI to do this.

Some integrations like Pagerduty, Slack, Jira still need to be manually set up though. Full deployment instructions are available at https://docs.uselynx.ai.
No. There are also rules on who can do what.

Put another way, military aircraft, especially certain military aircraft, can do things that civilian aircraft can't.

If I were piloting a helicopter in that airspace, that ATC transcript would have been significantly different.

We should be looking at root causes. Which means we should ask the uncomfortable questions about the deference given to some military/government aircraft. But we don't want to ask those questions. So we keep quibbling around the edges by talking about ATC or Reagan firing everyone or even the ridiculous suggestion that maybe the civilian airliners could be in a hold pattern at certain times.

It would be humorous if it wasn't so tragic.
I have published a preprint on Zenodo introducing PoAI (Proof of Artificial Intelligence), a novel consensus mechanism for blockchain systems.

PoAI integrates AI-driven proposal generation with human ethical review, enabling a more transparent and flexible decision-making process. This approach aims to address scalability, governance, and security challenges in decentralized networks.

Currently in development, PoAI is designed to optimize network efficiency, enhance security using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and quantum-resistant cryptography, and expand blockchain applications in gaming, space exploration, and social infrastructure.

I’d love to hear thoughts from the feedback, critiques, and discussions are highly welcome!

You summed it up well and your experience matches mine.
If victims of Fentanyl die much younger than victims of heart disease, the total # of lost years of life can be of the same order.

I remember reading that elimination of heart disease would increase life expectancy by some 5,5 years. Not nothing, but it indicates that most people die of heart disease at a relatively old age, when something else would kill them quite soon.

OTOH if a Fentanyl victim loses 40 or 50 years of potential life, that is a major loss for society as a whole. Kids may not be born etc.
I would not be surprised if Claude + Openai's reasoning models could develop a simple rudimentary algorithm that would work. Of course it wouldn't be as sophisticated as something like TikTok and would require a lot of fine tuning, but it's definitely possible.
So you're saying the Chinese should have gone out of their way to collect and include MAGA literature and talking-points in their training set, because ... why ?

They don't because once their product mimics the low-value race-obsessed MAGA "race-realists", spouting things like "Buddha was Blonde Aryan", all their hard work automatically loses value (see the Microsoft debacle).

(Not that "liberals" are any less race-obsessed - they atleast don't sound like absolute retards when they speak. Paul G said something similar).
Same. The rationale for doing so doesn't have to stand up, it just needs to be a soundbite that is easy for MAGA supporters to remember and repeat.
Yeah, what's up with that?

Does this treasury department payment system not also cover the payments made to bondholders?

Every time Congress delays raising the debt ceiling until the last minute, people get anxious and worry about a default and the full faith and credit of the US, etc. Are we now saying that the US could default even when funds are available if an un-elected guy and some junior programmers decide that would be a good idea or just mess up when dealing with a complex and arcane legacy system, and that's not scary to markets?

I would think every financial model that references a "risk-free rate" now has to be revisited while people consider whether any information visible to the Treasury Department might link their account to someone who has said something disparaging about Musk on twitter.
> the DEI movement.

"DEI" is not a movement, it is just a rebranding of Affirmative Action to emphasize the goals and break the association with (long explicitliy illegal, but often popularly associated with Affirmative Action) quota systems.
Yet, the whole crate model giving up on ABI stability as a goal hurts a lot, both for performance and for sanity.

Why aren't people designing modern languages to make it easier to keep a stable ABI, rather than giving up entirely?
I found he wrote this on his letter to shareholders…

“He continued: ‘Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.’”
