eh. For who want's to get deeper/broader view, there's a "bible" on UX.. called "Usability engineering" by Jakob Nielsen ~1993 [0].

IMO The first 2 (two) chapters are, like, mandatory - the what and the why. The rest, is mostly details - how. (but it has even how to organise random-street-user-tests and what to look for in those, etc)

Although, looking at recent 10 years of (software-or-car) UXs, i feel noone reads these anymore :/ Sadly.

From what i gathered, this seems to also be the case for SiriusXM - apparently has been for years.

Now, this ad is a new one..
> Why are we conflating jobs in the federal government that are wasting our money with actual useful jobs.

Many people are asking Elon Musk that, but he keeps doing it.
> I don't know what two sorts you're comparing

I showed you in my original comment. Both are C. One is the `sort` that comes with macOS, as shown at `/usr/bin/sort`, and the other is from GNU coreutils.

> Also, it's just one benchmark of sort, so for all we know the two sort implementations really have the same perf if you test a broader set of cases.

Sure, you're welcome to come up with a more comprehensive benchmark suite to support YOUR claim that tools like `sort` are not "compute bound" and you won't "notice" a difference in speed. I agree that 1 benchmark is insufficient to make generalized claims about performance. But it is very obviously better than 0 benchmarks (which is the number you have provided to support your claim).

In the interest of over-communicating, please note the qualification I gave originally: for files cached in RAM.

> I don't know what you mean by "complete MRE". You can download the Fil-C binaries and point coreutils' configure script at the compiler and see what happens. It's not hard.

Cool, then you should be able to show me a transcript of the precise commands necessary to do this very easily!
> future residential nuclear plants

What does this mean? Are you imagining a future where individual houses have their own nuclear plants? Or where nuclear plant workers live on-site?

I'm get the argument that we should have more nuclear power, and that some future reactors may be small, but I don't understand the expectation that they would be close enough to residences to pipe steam.
> Usage fees are then added on top, paying anywhere from $11.35 per megapound in the summer to $35.013 during peak season.

Steam with <1112 BTUs per pound vs room temperature will condense, so the heat value of a megapound of steam is at least 325,895 kWh. That's a marginal cost of 1 cent to 3 cents per MMBtu or 3.5 cents to 11 cents per MWh. The hookup cost ($3,555) is much smaller than the cost of the steam ($13k-$44k per the article).

For comparison natural gas costs a couple dollars per MMBtu and wholesale electricity costs $40-$60 per MWh. *The steam is orders of magnitude cheaper.*

If the article's quoted prices are accurate (note: Lincoln Towers seems to pay $2.43 per megapound, significantly less than the $11.35 usage fee the article gives immediately before. Not sure what's up.) then steam is practically free. I'm not really sure how that's possible; maybe there are subsidies or regulations enforcing production. A significant amount of the steam is from cogeneration, where steam is a byproduct of pollution-reducing processes- it makes sense that would reduce the cost, almost all steam would need to be a byproduct to explain the price.
Wow. First time I've seen one of my old games in decades. Miner 2049'er sure looks like a game of the same name I wrote back in '82, age 17. Sold quite a few copies thru Sears & KMart in the US, distributors in UK sold a bunch more. Paid for a bunch of mid-80's parties.

Good luck with that :) US models are way too bad gas guzzlers for here anyway with European fuel prices. The only people that buy them do it purely for the looks. Other US brands like Ford make different models just for here (and Asia).

At least these ads won't come through because there's no SiriusXM service here.
> the companies training the models are stealing the content from the internet

Are you stealing a billboard when you see and remember it?

The notion that consuming the web is "stealing" needs to stop.
It does apply to people? When you read a copy of a book, you can't be sued for making a copy of the book in the synapses of your brain.

Now, if you have eidetic memory and write out large chunks of the book from memory and publish them, that's what you could be sued for.
Yes, I have set it to public now. Thanks.
This was so fun to make with you Morry, amazing job and game vision bringing it through to fruition. Excellent video, and the game is lot of fun to play while making a statement. Highly recommend everyone play for a few minutes! https://doge-decimator--wttdotm.on.websim.ai/

Multiple parts in the workflow stuck out to me:

- "Pair programming" felt a lot more like jamming on ideas than anything

- Copy-pasted real government data into ChatGPT and generated JSON that would be the backbone of the game. Just gave websim that file and copy-pasted the schema, and that was enough to make the bare bones of the project.

- Morry's prompts were super detailed and specific

- When things weren't working, reverting to an earlier version where they did work and writing a different prompt often worked.

- Prompted Claude with a screenshot of the DOGE website, which totally transformed the visual style of Doge Decimator.

- The hardest part of vibe coding a game is to actually think big picture about what the game loop is. Most people vibe code toys and playgrounds, not games.

I hope Toptal has changed since I interviewed with them in 2015, because it was one of the worst tech interview experiences I had in a while.

In any case, I wouldn't call divesting from US tech infrastructure a futile endeavour: wouldn't a move to EU services (especially given that the author is based in the EU) allow benefitting from the EU's data protection / sovereignty legislation? That alone would be an net improvement over the laissez-faire approach that US has about people's data, aside from at least trying to go against the flow of technological centralization around the US.

Now, you can debate whether those protections are effective or not, but at least it's something to build from.
It's often not the steam pipes leaking. The sewers are very humid and warmer than the air above. As the air convects up it hits the cold air and the humidity condenses. The same thing happens in lots of other cities when the weather is right.

Maybe the steam pipes keeps the sewers warmer in places with steam but they should be well insulated in the end.
It only happens when the car is stopped, at least they cared that much. Though they probably feared the inevitable lawsuit.
So glad I gave up driving automobiles. The industry obviously hates their own customers.

All this would motivate is putting piece of cardboard over the dashboard display, or ripping out the dash entirely and replacing it with your own custom 3rd party alternative. Or ripping out the satellite / wifi equivalent.

Starting to get like Windows with wheels. Get a new install. Disable camera. Disable microphone. Disable remote desktop. Disable call-home reporting. Disable corporate features apps.

And Windows still keeps trying to get me have XBox game pass on my work laptop... Why did you uninstall this? Are you sure you don't want to interact with teabaggers on Halo and Fortnight during work?

And how much can they possibly make? A couple $ million for an ad contract that makes nobody ever want to buy your automobiles ever again?

Like many have noted, if there's ever a return to driving it's going to be about the least "connected" automobile that can be found on the market. Want wifi while driving I'll use a phone.
Couldn't they push that to them too with an over the air update?

>Electrical transmission systems are roughly 85% efficient to the consumer; together with boring old resistive electric radiators which are 100% efficient.

I'm wary of attempting comparisons of end to end efficiency, just because these aren't apple to apple comparisons. Solar panels are 20% efficient. Nuclear power can be anywhere between 60 and 90% efficient. Coal plants can be between 35 and 50% efficient. Each of these can have an economic rationale despite these differences in efficiency.. A Dyson sphere with 0.001% efficiency could be a winning value proposition. Granted, these are energy sources rather than transmission infrastructure, but the point is the same.

I would want to know about the efficiency loss from whatever primary source of energy was generated before it gets transmitted across the electrical transmission infrastructure, and I would want to know how it compares to a steam source, which could plausibly be such a thing as waste heat. If your steam is cheap or potentially even free it could conceivably win out in the final assessment, even if it has higher relative transmission losses.
Yes, but the learning isn't constrained by those laws. If I steal a book and read it, I'm guilty of the crime of theft. You can put me in jail, try me before a jury, fine me, and put me in prison according to whatever laws I broke.

Nothing in my sentence constrains my ability to teach someone else the stuff I learned, though! In fact, the first amendment makes it pretty damn clear that nothing can constrain that freedom.

Also, note that the example is malformed: in almost all these cases, Meta et. al. aren't "stealing" anything anyway. They're downloading and reading stuff on the internet that is available for free. If you or I can't be prosecuted for reading a preprint from arXiv.org or whatever, it's a very hard case to make that an AI can.

Again, copyright isn't the tool here. We need better laws.

Medicaid here in Arizona is called "AHCCCS" which is pronounced "access" so imagine the fun homophonic confusion in a conversation about "do you have access?" "well I got access but then I lost it..."

Many conservative Christians have termed homosexuality as "Same-Sex Attraction" or SSA, so they often speak of "suffering from SSA" or being afflicted with it. When I applied to the Social Security Administration for disability, I couldn't help but notice, and their disability program is called "SSDI" which has nothing to do with Reagan's "Star Wars/Strategic Defense Initiative"

Nor do my dealings with the F.A.A. in the past several years have anything to do with a pilot's license or flight clearances; the Family Assistance Administration here doles out funds for food stamps ("SNAP", another good homophone, lets you purchase plenty of alphabet soup for the fam) and other basic needs.

It is at the same price it was at in 2019. You can't rebalance them because the techs all boom and bust together, there isn't any point. Still, if you think Chinese techs are going to take off big soon, now is a great time to get in (or at least as an emerging market hedge).
Sure, it's nice to have a job like that if you get paid a living wage, have a social safety net, secure housing, and no dependents.

I have news for you: that job (and situation) didn't exist then, and doesn't exist now. It briefly existed in the few decades following WW2, but we have torn down much of the ideology and social infrastructure that made that possible.

It is interesting that it is not the Hollywood/Music/Entertainment copyright lobby (RIAA, MPAA etc.) that is lobbying US states to go after OpenAI and other American AI companies.

Came to say exactly this: some teams actually do just need someone to pick up some slack for a bit to ship some big project but don't have a long term role. Consulting companies are pure crapshoot since you can't typically pick your exact technical resource.

Pure value exchange. This should be more common.
