I believe this guy's analysis misses the point. My perspective is shaped by having navigated multiple market bubbles and three significant tech recessions – 2000, 2008, and 2022-2025.

The core issue, consistently, is the imbalance between supply and demand within the high-quality SWE talent pool. We witnessed hiring bubbles in 1999 and 2021 precisely because the demand for skilled SWEs far outstripped the available supply.

Essentially, major tech companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc.) appear to have miscalculated the sustained need for SWEs during the peak of the WFH trend. They subsequently found themselves with a surplus of talent relative to the number of compelling new projects.

A similar dynamic occurred during the dot-com boom, where companies aggressively pursued web developers. The perceived ROI, often reflected in inflated company valuations rather than immediate profits, justified each hire at the time.

The crucial question is the ROI of each incremental hire. If it remains strictly positive, robust hiring will follow. Currently, this condition is not met, particularly within large tech firms.

Looking ahead, a market equilibrium will eventually be reached. A sustained oversupply of new graduates entering the field will undoubtedly face employment challenges. Conversely, a decrease in the supply of qualified SWEs will likely lead to a stabilization, and potentially an increase, in their perceived value.
Why should they care about non-users. Offering our even mentioning choice only creates uncertainty and confusion in potential customers.
Perhaps half the comments here mention Elixir. As of now, no comment mentions Gleam. I haven't used either, but been eyeing Gleam. According to GitHub stars (bad metric I know) Elixir isn't that much more popular than Gleam.
It's probably something like a horn, or a speaker. A couple of bullets are probably enough to break it.
I think Sabine explained this social effect few years ago. I know she's a little controversial, but the key thing in the video (as opposed to all other videos about DSE on the internet) was that you don't get "two clusters" actually. They are both statistical parts of a single [non-]interference pattern. "||" is a lie. I'm not in a physics rebel camp and don't prefer Sabine either, but after that I sort of lost trust in the interpretations that can't even get the resulting picture right. I even suspect that showing dumbed results amplifies "wow" effect and monetizes better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQv5CVELG3U

This is the video if you're interested. Again, I'm no physicist and don't know if explanations are legit or statistically correct. But that little || trick that all other popsci videos play on you, that's a true concern.
Oh they did ! Tesla Chair of the Board, Robyn Denholm, sold most of her shares in the past 12 months.
KWord and AbiWord don't use "Word" as a standalone, well, word. They're clearly not Word. You're not going to confuse them, and that's the point.

And "office" became the term for an office suite, the way "calendar" and "contacts" and "word processor" are just descriptive terms too.

But "Docs" and "Word" have a clear, obvious distinctiveness that "office" and "calendar" don't. "Word" and "Docs" don't inherently mean "word processor". Heck, OpenDocs.com is for legal forms, not word processing.

I really don't know what you're arguing. Go ahead, start a word processor named just "[Company name] Word" with the space and get sued by Microsoft and lose. You don't really think you'll win, do you? This is not a controversial or blurry area of trademark law.
Gonna be honest with you, "urged legal action against those who “spread untrue information”" sounds blatantly like propaganda to me. Can you imagine any decent healthcare worker responding like this to a situation like this, even if they disagree that such a weapon has been used?

But let's ignore that bit, not even important. If I read it right, the hospital "has denied reports that many people sought help". So they did not deny that those who did showed symptoms consistent of an LRAD or ASD deployment? Kind of a nothingburger I'd say.
You seem to be confused over the meaning of word "administrative". In this context it means that the matter is entirely in the hands of the executive power so there is no charging and no trial.
Also the story of midcap saas going public around 2020.
The Geneva Convention bans all chemical weapons. Part of the rationale for a total ban is to avoid escalating to more dangerous chemical agents. Helpful r/AskHistorians thread:

> I've observed that the older people become, the drive or ambition to get out there is slowly eroded.

I'm in my early 40s. At this point, my ambition is to earn money that I can spend on my family and on my hobbies. From the outside, it probably very much looks like I'm un-ambitious and un-driven. From the inside, I'm having a good time.

> I feel that time is running out

You're 18. It is not running out. It's amazing how much time you have ahead of you.
The main point of your argument is materially different if you mean $500m or $1.5m. I agree there's no point in responding if you're just going to flip flop to whichever is more convenient to that particular response and then get upset when called out for it. Either make a consistent argument or deal with it when called out.

edit: There's also a material difference between no one, a few, many and the majority. You made a specific claim that no employee provides more then $1.5m of value. I disproved that with Google's own comp. Not my problem you're butt hurt about being called out for being wrong with quotes you said yourself.
I had the same reaction to the article. I'm not so quick to laugh at the poor bastards though. Even if we are unshackled ourselves, we still have to live in a society that largely is--and there are costs to that.
LLMs are probably better at "understanding" what the user wants, e.g. "Hey Siri, I have to take my kids to the doctor tomorrow" would reply "Do you want me to make a calendar event?".

Asking ChatGPT, it even has suggestions like "Do you want me to check traffic, do you want me to make a checklist for what to bring?".

If I continue with "but I can't make it", one of the suggestions ChatGPT imagine possible is: "Would you like me to send a message to your partner, babysitter, or anyone else involved?"
Just realized something funny.

Current AI is pretty janky, unpredictable, unreliable etc.

So, Microsoft actually has an enormous advantage over Apple, when it comes to AI integration.

Because their whole OS is already like that!
That sounds bold and exciting, but it's clearly false and terrible advice.

Violence, like warfare, is politics by other means. Every expert knows that law of warfare - the first law of warfare, in a sense - that it ends when and only when there is political agreement. Even in warfare, violence just buys time and changes your political position.

In countries with rule-of-law, you can use the political / legal system to stop the violence and hold accountable the perpetrators. In countries without, the only solution is political.

It's also well-established that non-violence and other tactics can be quite effective. While if you attack back and injure others, your credibility and legality is gone - nobody will listen to you or pay much attention to 'they started it' (which the other side will dispute anyway).
There are many customers that care about owning their own data. Despite what you might think, there are lots of companies that do not trust sending their data to the cloud. In addition, there are lots of companies and individuals that have all their data local, for a variety of reasons (often security) and primarily use desktop applications to work with that data. The "vast majority" may never care, but the compliment is still a very sizable market.

I would love to see another way to deploy local software, aside from building dedicated Windows and MacOS apps. There are efforts in the Docker container world to provide smaller deployment frameworks. There are efforts in the WASM world to replace containers with WASM deployment (which works well in browser, BTW).
Particles aren't necessary for it, any quantization is sufficient.
Teslas automatic collision avoidance is the best on the market lol you can trivially google it
Honestly this is why I just buy Supermicro workstation boards with BMCs for everything. No need to mess with third party stuff or guess if the vendor's WoL is going to work right (or deal with the possibility you need to hard restart the computer). Everything is just cooked in from the start.
Neural nets generally don't have the same level of interconnections and neurons as the human brain because it's tougher to train. I agree in principal that the human brain should be possible to replicate in a computer but I'm not sure we can do it with the current design of single direction connections between nodes. I highly doubt we'll be able to scale it down to a machine that's reasonable to fit in a car any time soon though and that's what Tesla is promising they can do with the current hardware package installed in cars (never mind that they also promised it'd be possible with the last major revision and had to walk that back and will have to install upgraded electronics in people's vehicles, unless they're just going to strand all HW3 owners who paid of FSD but the hardware is to wimpy to handle it unless that's changed since the robotaxi event).
Even innocent looking C code can be chock-full of UBs that can invalidate your "local reasoning" capabilities. So, not even close.

If most software were following DDD, UI should be a generic domain. But they bind themselves to Electron and bring the whole kitchen with them. And then a note app bring a whole audio and video ecosystem among others.

It is not Russia-controlled but it has a long history of relationship with Russia: for example, Russian Empire entered WW1 to protect Serbia.
There’s a handful of third party apps that serve that function, but that’s really more the domain of GNOME shell extensions.

What I’m talking about are apps built not because there weren’t serviceable options in their categories prior, but because there weren’t any that made an effort to be at unity with the larger GNOME desktop. Apps like Errands[0], Folio[1], Shortwave[2], and Newsflash[3].

True and I would not be surprised if some day one of his crew members gets hurt from all the dumb stunts they pull. Stunt people get hurt and these are not even seasoned stunt people, just random friends and orbiters. All that said I still want to see everything tested by him.
Yeah rereading as another commenter pointed out it’s all a joke/satire.
Recently I've been thinking that in some ways the way we are constantly using noise cancelling will have a negative impact on brain health.

Though I don't deny that we live in very loud environments, our senses, and particularly hearing, habituate to the noise around us. Though the study suggests there could be a link, we can't ignore the relationship between T2D and socio-economics. Diet and exercise clearly have an impact, but if noise pollution was a factor, wouldn't we also see non-metabolic factors in T2D, which I don't believe we are seeing as a general society. But I guess this has not been studied yet.

I am concerned about the lack of noise, and environmental queues that people get because they constantly have earbuds pumping noise directly into their ear, yet without the environmental inputs, echos, etc.
I’ve been looking for something like this that also has a Whiteboard feature (think Miro) to deploy self-hosted at a small business.

It has taken me these places:

Obsidian - has whiteboard, but not collaborative. Sync plugin cannot be self hosted. Open source sync doesn’t have user management.

Affine - ditto. Also not completely open source.

Logseq - ditto. Some text editing features require advanced knowledge of databases to use (ie writing query) making it difficult to deploy to non-technical staff.

Excalidraw - whiteboards only.
Wake on LAN requires working suspend, I believe. That's not working, because alas many desktops and workstations don't suspend well these days.

Wake on LAN is my ideal yes & would be perfect for this application. If only suspend werent broken. It's fantastically easy to setup in systems-networkd, a one line WakeOnLan=magic in your .link file. Easy as that for my laptop!

Yes. I think it’s easy to underestimate how much the richer language and library ecosystem chip away at the attack surface area. So many past vulnerabilities have been in code which isn’t dealing with low-level interfaces or weird performance optimizations and wouldn’t need to use unsafe. There’ve been so many vulnerabilities in crypto code which weren’t the encryption or hashing algorithms but things like x509/ASN parsing, logging, or the kind of option/error handling logic a Rust programmer would use the type system to validate.
Their Wikipedia page in the controversy section lists at least 5 specific examples where they were criticized for direct political messaging - so certainly not a neutral party (whatever that means).

Also you seem to think propaganda means “not true” when it more often is true things that promote your interests. What matters is someone is paying to highlight information over other perspectives.
Not one the other car either but that one have not failed.

Notion is some kind of Kanban board, isn't it? I think the point of the parent is that such boards were not invented by Notion, and writing a webapp that essentially allows you to move post-its between columns is not exactly innovative. Which is fine, if it works. We don't always need innovation (actually most of the time we don't). Notion just seems to be super popular for just being a webapp of post-its.
I'm more interested in MilkyTracker replacements.

Something that worked well on mobile would be nice.
Vision isn't the only problem. Can computers do a decent job of theory-of-mind of other drivers? What about seeing a tire bouncing down off an overpass that's visible to the driver? Software developers love saying that it's the 95% that matters, but in safety critical systems, that simplification simply does not work.
What's complex for most users that do not spend their days into an IDE is not seing what's your prose is going to look like and they've been use to that for a couple decade. For us it kind of made sense to support markdown + giving giving a minimalistic toolbar for users who don't know how to md.
Also, you can do a lot of things in BlockNotejs you can't unless you code html and css in md (colors, blocks etc.)
My trans colleagues would definitely attest to the effect hormones can have on behavior.
It's because of the direct effects; chlorine gas for instance will almost instantly blind anyone exposed to it, and tear gas can also be fatal. My great-grandfather was gassed in the First World War and only narrowly survived. Chemical weapons were technically already banned by this point, but it was WW1 that prompted the modern Geneva Protocol (not the Geneva Conventions; these are slight different). Unfortunately, none of the Geneva treaties cover their use outside of wartime.
That's a nice idea. I wish stuff like this was builtin. Small suggestion: API level 29 (Android 10) introduced WifiNetworkSuggestion[1], which allows an app to prompt the user to add WiFi credentials to the system. The suggestion has to be sent as an extra in an ACTION_WIFI_ADD_NETWORKS intent[2] (which was added in API 30 for some reason, not sure right now what happens in between).

Humans do not have fins, but Micheal Phelps can still cut through water. That elites can thrive is not a compelling argument when most people just want technology to get out of the way.

An alternative layout with commonly used symbols on the home row makes the QWERTY deficiencies immediately apparent. Significantly less effort required for writing prose when using something like DVORAK.
Would someone with more experience be able to explain to me why can't these operations be "safe"? What is blocking rust from producing the same machine code in a "safe" way?

> There's no amount of pushback or repercussion that a rioter will feel is fair or humane

I mean you're talking about using violence against people to stop or prevent property damage. Most options are off the table in the moment, in the same way you can't execute someone if you catch them vandalizing your car. Smashing their fingers with a hammer wouldn't probably kill them but you can't do that either.

After-the-fact repercussions like criminal charges or civil liabilities, well, it doesn't matter how they feel about it? That's not how court works.
I mean, it's not going to turn these countries into rich places, but the article points out several ways that having power - even intermittent power - at a very low cost has improved people's lives significantly. They no longer have to walk miles to get drinking water; they drilled a well and put in an electric pump. Water towers are pretty straightforward tech; run the pump during the day until the tower is full, and the villagers can walk a couple of blocks to the spigot to get water. Charge spare phone batteries during the day. Any task that doesn't actually have to run 24 hours a day can take advantage of the power when it's there.
> These are weapons that would violate the Geneva convention, but we're okay with them to disperse a crowd.

Isn't that a category ban that came out of a couple specific members of that category that were used and had particularly nasty effects? And then countries' domestic law enforcement rules tend to be defined in different terms.
What happened to just shouting at each other? That would have been more civilized.
Word taught me how to spell back in the 90s.
something to consider is that in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) the military used a bunker buster on a Sarin gas storage facility and shot the sarin high into the atmosphere, where it then floated far downwind and landed on US troops. Ofc, reporting on it doesn't really consider Iraqi civilians and is only weepy about US soldiers.

These Canadians might be fine with you. They aren't fine with the US. Don't take it personally I guess?
This has to be about people who pushes the button. Not about the people who invents the technology. Otherwise you might want to stop all the kitchen knifes production, cause people occasionally use those to kill each other.

My daughter told me about an article she read recently (sorry don;t have details) suggesting that noise cancelling headophones are hurting young people's hearing - not their ears though, but the part of the brain that helps distinguish conversation in loud environments or where many people are talking. Absolitelt no idea if this is true, but it sounded plausible
Doesn't the difference between measurement and observation stem from an extension of the double slit experiment discussed in thus artucle?

It you place a detector on one of the two slits in the prior experiment, (so that you measure which slit each individual photon goes through) the interference pattern disappears.

If you leave the detector in place, but don't record the data that was measured, the interference pattern is back.

SR-IOV would sell more cards than Intel would be able to sell if they charged market rate for their GPUs. Same goes for not selling a local LLM high VRAM variant. Intel is just allergic to competing by offering a USP.

AMD Ryzen CPUs have ECC enabled but not officially supported. Intel still locks away the feature.
Notion is a wiki. It’s like Confluence but good.

Maybe they have tickets and boards as well? Even better!
well if they turn out out to be violence and can be destructive (they called riot), yes they can
Rust is plenty fast, in fact there are countless examples of safe rust that will trivially beat out C in performance due to no aliasing, enabling better vectorization among others. Let alone being simply a more expressive language and allowing writing better optimizations (e.g. small strings, vs the absolutely laughable c-strings that perform terribly, but also you can actually get away with sharing more stuff in memory vs doing defensive copies everywhere because it is safe to do so, etc)

And there is not many things we have statistics on in CS, but memory vulnerabilities being absolutely everywhere in unsafe languages, and Rust cleaning up the absolute majority of them even when only the new parts are written in Rust are some of the few we do know, based on actual, real life projects at Google/Microsoft among others.

A memory safe low-level language is as novel as it gets. Rust is absolutely not just hype, it actually delivers and you might want to get on with the times.
Yeah I just discovered this a few days ago. All the docker-era tools default to gzip but if using, say, bazel rules_oci instead of rules_docker you can turn on zstd for large speedups in push/pull time.
