> I think people mean something seamless like AirDrop is on Apple devides

Ha! I do wonder if I'm the only person who has errors where sometimes an AirDrop attempted transmission, from two devices sitting right next to each other, just hangs indefinitely, even if a transmission between the same two devices a minute ago succeeds. Like all Apple solutions that Just Work, it's great when it Just Works, but, when it doesn't, great effort seems to have been taken to make sure that there's no way to find out why not.

We understand gravity and the 3 body problem still exists…
I would say Gravity Falls much more so than Phineas and Ferb. The latter doesn't have much of a series-long story arc, whereas the former very much does have one.

Craig of the Creek was also pretty good, though I don't think it has a wider arc (I am not entirely certain though.)
Wouldn’t it be easier instead of juggling with models and their quirks to just write the code the old way?

Zig still isn't production ready and isn't memory safe as Go, most likely.
Note that biofuels aren't especially environmentally friendly, even just considering carbon emissions. See e.g. [1], which makes the most optimistic possible assumption by ignoring land use changes and still concludes "the reductions for most feedstocks are insufficient to meet the GHG savings required by the EU Renewable Energy Directive" (second generation biofuels may do better, but that isn't clear). Also ignoring land use changes is a very bad asssumption; if your plan is to run global shipping (or other industries) on biofuels it seems highly implausible that it's not going to end up with more land overall used for growing crops. If that's land that could otherwise be sequestering carbon (e.g. drained peat bogs, which have the advantage of being highly fertile), then it's clearly going to be a significant contribution to carbon emissions (not to mention the ecological impacts of converting yet more land to agriculture).

Wow, big fan of duckdb and this is a great step forward.
True. Also in the very old days, people actively "went online" at certain times. Dial in the modem, visit the Internet Cafe, things like that. A web community would better be ready and waiting.

> During the brief period that open Airdrop / bluetooth file transfer was a thing, there was a short fad of spamming porn to nearby people on public transport. So that was the end of that.

My recollection is that the end of that was Apple's worry about the protests in China, not any concern about spam on public transit. (The first Google hit: https://restofworld.org/2022/apple-airdrop-china-memes/.)
I've been using sway daily since before it was really stable and recently tried Niri but maybe couldn't get over the muscle memory from sway. I use sway mostly in tabbed mode anyway which gives a similar feel to a scrolling WM but with flexibility to break out to tiles in a different workspace if needed.

What has massively improved my workflow recently is vertical tabs in Firefox. I now have browser tabs I can cycle up and down through on side of my screen, and application tabs I can cycle through left and right at the top. I love it.

Would putting some percentage of the team on 'support' for a week or two help with reducing task switching and help to allow deep work? Maybe everyone in the team would spend 2 weeks per quarter or something like that doing support.

I (n=1) would prefer to be answering support tickets for 2 week blocks, and know when the blocks are in my calendar, so that I can plan work around them, rather than trying to debug something while I am being pinged about unrelated stuff all day.
I think it is fair to point out. George Bush helped erode the rules based order with the Iraq war. The US has always refused to accept anything that would limit exercising it's power.
This isn't an answer, just an anecdote. My then wife and I were early-ish adopters, and bought one, I dunno, 2005-2010 or something? It was kind of neat but it broke, I think on some toy our kid left lying around. OK, but we liked the idea, we bought another. A year or two later, it broke. I think we bought a third, and tried to be more zealous about picking up stuff that might mess with it. Ultimately, it also failed, and then we stopped buying Roombas. Our kid was older, we didn't need one as much, and they seemed kind of fragile.

I haven't kept up with them, but I do still hear stories like that? To whatever extent that is a representative experience, they just weren't good enough at handling the reality of vacuuming a messy house with kids -- with was, for us, the reason they were compelling in the first place. Now I'm divorced and live alone. I don't need a roomba.
> Correctness and maintainability trumps performance

Great, please make all the software even slower than it already is. I am overjoyed to have to purchase several new laptops a decade because they become e-waste purely due to the degradation of software performance. It is beyond ridiculous that to FP programmers daring to mutate variables or fine-tune a for loop is an exceptional scenario that you don't do "unless you have to" and which requires "knowing what you're doing". Do you know what you're doing? How can you be a software engineer and think that for loops are too difficult of a construct, and that you need something higher-level and more abstract to feel safe? It's insane. Utterly insane. Perhaps even the root of all evil, Code Golf manifested as religion.

Even using an assembler, (which we did most of the time), we would leave a pool at the end of each PROM (and they were PROMs with a 6 week lead time) so we could patch a bug and only have to change one PROM and not the whole set.
This made me think, how many people have tried feeding some of this critical code to the best LLM models and asking it to point out any bugs?
> do you have any interest in any long term peace at all?

Why can't Russia signal it's not interested in long-term peace? It's been signaling it's not interested for the entire war. And nothing has changed.

> It's more beneficial to say "yes" to something with zero consequences

Why? There's zero benefit to Russia. And major consequences to agreeing, because the pause will give Ukraine a significant military advantage in regrouping, that won't benefit Russia nearly as much. It's not zero consequences -- a temporary cease-fire would be a significant military setback for Russia.
This is such a needed addition! Huge duckdb fan, congrats team!
It is already there, kind of, the original Visual Studio Code plugin was actually done by Microsoft, and at a later point given to Google for further development.

If one end of the connection is a native app like this you have plenty of other options. Browser to browser is the use case I'm talking about.

It could be done with a browser-owned dialog to select peers instead of exposing all local peers to the web by default. Similar to the web MIDI API or others that expose local devices only with explicit user permission for the specific device.

Where are the costs. Many factories are only used 8 hours a day despite the high costs - it isn't worth the additional cost to have employees work overnight. Some really energy hungry factories traditionally run only overnight when energy is cheap, and they shutdown for yearly maintenance in December (thus freeing up their normal energy use when everyone is running Christmas lights) Now that wind and solar are coming online those are changing how they work.

Different factories have difference costs. When energy is significant they consider that. When energy is not significant they just run when it works out.
It’s mostly that I don’t have the time, and neither do the other developers in my network (most of the time).

These are really interesting ideas - I like the consultation idea.

When it comes to referring agencies, I feel like it’s a reputation risk to me if I can’t validate the quality of the work they will produce. Any tips for this?

> open weights

What exactly is this supposed to mean? That I can grab the weights by just downloading them, or something like that?

Because when I open up the HuggingFace repository, it asks me to "accept the conditions" (Google’s usage license). How is this different from any other proprietary binaries people distribute on the internet but let you run locally? Are other software (like 1Password for example) also "open software" because you can download it?
I think there may be some confusion about "RPN" (Reverse Polish Notation). It was very popular with certain folks, Back In The Day, but I, personally, never warmed to it. I don't think it ever would have been mandated for tests. It was very much a "deep geek" notation.

But if you really want it, and are an Apple user, I have found that the PCalc app[0] has been excellent (I've used it for over 30 years). It works on multiple (Apple) platforms, and has RPN (the real RPN) built in, as a selectable option.

I suspect there's similar apps for Windows, Linux, and Android.

Why would I have to interview for coding roles?

I was an active developer from 1996 - 2018. Between 2016 - mid 2020 I started transitioning to team lead/architect roles with some coding until I did a
pivot to cloud consulting specializing in app dev. First it was 50/50 coding/strategy until now where it is 10/90 coding/strategy talking to customers and leading teams.

I can tell you it was a lot easier finding full time jobs both in 2023 and 2024 as a “staff architect” at both product companies and consulting companies than regular old “senior” [1] enterprise software development jobs. Especially working remotely.

Every job posted for generic developers gets hundreds of applications and most of the applicants are probably good enough to do the job. I applied for hundreds of jobs between both times I was looking and heard crickets. They were plan B jobs that actually paid less.

On the other hand, in 2023 I had three offers for team lead/architect jobs in three weeks and one offer in 2024 based on replying to one internal recruiter that reached out to me.

Besides, I keep between 9-12 months of expenses in a liquid savings account outside of retirement savings. That gives me plenty of runway to prep for coding interviews if I had to.

[1] “Senior” roles at most non tech companies mean “you codez real gud” not that you operate at any different level of “scope”, “impact” or “ambiguity” than a mid level developer.

> Barfs an error when trying to load the model

Since you're not using the official models (since they're not GGUFs), what exact model are you trying to use? The 3rd party you rely on might have screwed something up.
Glad you drew this comparison. I have a 4yo who (TLDR) we didn't really push TV on and started reading on his own when he was two.

Before he was born I put a lot of thought into what he would watch before he was born assuming it would be a huge necessity to address. I torrented Mr Rodgers and Reading Rainbow and Eureka (amazing old science cartoon if anyone's encountered it) and I even started writing a script that would randomly select from these and automatically turn off after 1-3 episodes.

Basically I am shocked at how wrong I was. He had no natural interest in TV beyond a few minutes, even if we were watching something. We didn't have a reason to push it, when he did see newer kids media like Bluey / Cocomelon etc he would zombie out exactly as you described and then have noticeably crappier behavior for a while after we would have to have a minor battle to turn it off. Felt like microwaving his brain and we had no reason to push it on him so we didn't. After a few days he would never miss it. We let him watch stuff at friend's houses and still pop on old stuff that I downloaded once every week or two. Same basic behavior / problems. We always back off for the same reasons.

I grew up on TV and I don't judge parents who legitimately love watching TV with their kids or need it as a babysitter because of demanding schedules or absent child care assistance. It is an incredible tool in a culture that often separates extended families and discourages grandparents from playing active daily supportive roles.

But yeah for whatever reason our kid started reading independently when he was two, got really interested in languages, got his basic operators down while he was 2-3 and has never had any serious behavioral or developmental problems and other parents are always asking us what we did to accelerate his development and make him such a genius.

We didn't do anything unnatural, we just didn't intentionally push him to watch a lot of TV. He still watches stuff, we still watch stuff. It's just on a laptop and ends when he starts turning into a zombie.

With that said Bluey seems fine to me, my kids the one with the weird zombie reaction. And disclaimers all kids are different, I'm incredibly lucky to work from home on a schedule where I get to hang out with him all the time and I'm pretty sure regardless of zombie Cocomelon watching his generations problems are not going to be rooted in them zonking out on TV but who knows.
They really did the bulk of Wehrmacht killing on European mainland. But they didn't collapse only due to massive US support, be it in armament, equipment, medicine etc. Absolutely massive. Also it was basically due to bad German planning and preparation for winter, not some soviet strategic brilliance, which was very hard to be found on eastern front, just meatwave after meatwave till german machine gun barrels literally melted.

You could see tons of US equipment during WWII reels on eastern front including heavy machinery, soviets tried desperately to remove such footage (just like photos of soviet soldiers wearing 3+ watches on each hand... err borrowed from friendly locals) but truth has this behavior of seeping back to light.

Capitalism works pretty well in any moral society actually, much better than any other system thats for sure.

It depends on your budget and size. A 3-person team doesn't need a CTO that doesn't code. The CTO there might well be the CEO too.
Really cool. Could you elaborate a but more on what the 'notebook' form factor entails? Should we expect the same as other notebook environments?
I'm doing something similar -- taking a sabbatical to focus on learning and doing projects I didn't have time to do while working -- but I treat it like a job: I read/write/code roughly 8h a day, 5 days a week. Just like in a real job there are some days I'm more productive than others, but I carry on. I still leave time off for family, friends and other persuits; on weekends and holidays I don't do as much reading, or none at all.

I know if I'd do it every day I'd eventually burn out or allienate people around me. I can get pretty caught up in something when I'm interested in it and forget the world around me.

So I'd just say daily consistency is not necessarily everything, it's not like a physical activity. You have to think a bit longer term and ask: do I know more today than a month ago? Am I still enjoying it?

The even bigger challenge is determining _what_ you need to observe in the first place.

As a simplistic analogy, evolutionary designs of FPGA boards can end up relying upon idiosyncratic properties of the board(s) and create circuits that "shouldn't work" based on an idealized electrical circuit model. And they may not be transferable to other boards. In other words, to "understand" some evolutionary FPGA circuits, you need to "observe" more than just the gate configurations and idealized schematic.

Brains are not FPGAs or even circuits, but I think the analogy holds. They're not _just_ idealized representations of spiking neural networks.

I don’t believe this to be true at all; very early-stage startups could have a CTO who is doing much of the coding to get things off the ground.

Also, Fractional CTOs are a thing ;) Some companies can benefit from a CTO who is not full-time: for example, many medium-sized publishers. The CTO role and its functions are still necessary even if the company cannot afford to hire a full-time CTO or would rather commit that budget elsewhere.
