> don't credit the growth of computing to Apple's aesthetic but oft-ill-designed stuff.

I'm not; I'm crediting the activity of marketing.

It's an engineering blind spot to think utility = adoption. Emacs is more powerful than MS Word; which one has more users? Which one has an organization dedicated to going around and pointing out how and where it is useful?

It's when you have utility + marketing that you get something like the computer revolution.

Most of the product companies that hire remote hire within their country. At most they hire within 2-3 h of timezone difference. So, it’s not that “poor” talent from abroad is taking jobs from Americans/Europeans. Consultancy companies is another story (but who wants to work for them anyway?)
It's because the animal is called a gnu and a lot of us heard of the animal way before we ever heard of GNU. Sometimes, part of me thinks GNU is pronounced like that because someone wanted to be an asshole.

Parent was talking about screen density, so pixels per degree. This headset ~~has more pixels~~ but also a wider fov, so it should feel similar.

Edit: fell for their lies, the headset is only 2k per eye. The 5k figure is "combined", i.e. a marketing number.

I'm with you though: early headsets were low resolution but these modern ones are not. We can still use more pixels though, esp. for text work.

They are harder to intuitively guess maybe, but it's still trivial to verify. I don't understand why the article would have so many mistakes, unless either the author just chose whatever numbers felt right (but then why write them down as a reference?) or just used chatGPT.
This looks cool.

1) I looked at the pricing. Is search included in the price - (you just pay credits/browser time?)

> Especially given it’s well known that people don’t leave companies, they leave bad managers…

I know this is an old saw because it’s usually true, but I’ve left companies where I had a good relationship with my manager because I lost confidence in leadership at some level above them.

Sometimes you can see the train wreck coming and it’s time to go.

How is using a peripheral while plugged in a worse experience? It's a better experience: I've had many more problems with wireless peripherals than wired ones. Bluetooth disconnecting randomly, batteries discharging while I'm working. Wireless is a worse experience in almost all ways.

If you make a wireless peripheral and everyone keeps using it while plugged in, the solution is not to force them to use it wirelessly. The solution is to make the wireless experience actually better so the user voluntarily chooses to use it.
Yeah, thanks for not actually settling a damn thing with that description. The guy who created it says it with a soft G, so that's a reasonable authority to me. Anyone else, it's just their opinion.

How's this?

1. You buy "litigation insurance."

2. You state that you are insured on your website.

3. The insurance company is required to defend in all patent cases that arise, so there is no doubt that you will be represented in court.

4. Nobody sues.

5. The insurance company makes a profit with no cost or risk.

A dollar per dead snake, you say?
Sounds like pretty bad point to intervene though? If I decided to leave, and even announced it I'm probably pretty pissed off already. I probably raised my concerns before - or if I haven't, it is an indication of dysfunction of its own, I just had no space for that. In the best case you give me something that convinces me not to leave - and my takeaway will be that things are only going to change if I threaten with leaving.

I don't know of evidence that he did. But Dijkstra left us a famous quote:

"LISP has jokingly been described as “the most intelligent way to misuse a computer”. I think that description a great compliment because it transmits the full flavour of liberation: it has assisted a number of our most gifted fellow humans in thinking previously impossible thoughts."

This is obviously a compliment; it even mentions that word.

Even a less positive remark than this would still be resounding compliment from a computer scientist who said things such as that BASIC causes irreparable brain damage!

So count this as a piece of evidence that he liked Lisp.

Lisp emphasizes structured approaches, and from the start it has encouraged (though not required) techniques which avoid destructive manipulation. There is a lot in Lisp to appeal to someone with a mindset similar to Dijkstra.
I am curious about the same thing. I worked as a ML engineer for several years and have a couple of degrees in the field. Skimming over the document, I recognized almost everything but I would not be able to recall many of these topics if asked without context, although at one time I might have been able to.

What are others' general level of recall for this stuff? Am I a charlatan who never was very good at math or is it just expected that you will forget these things in time if you're not using them regularly?

Seems to be cool, but, one of thing that most annoys me on studying machine learning is that I may dive as deep as it is possible in theory, but I can't see how it connects to the practice, i. e. how it makes me choose the correct number of neurons in a layer, how many layers, the activation functions, if I should use a neural network or other techniques, and so on...

That's why I (despite being an English speaker) have always pronounced it "g-new," not caring what was correct. Pronouncing it like the animal seems designed to cause unnecessary confusion. Reminds me of the MST3K skit where Mike told the bots he was a big fan of Noh Japanese theater.
Probably an agreeability thing? The iconoclasts who get things done tend to be disagreeable, but success at a reality scale is different than success in a large company.

You get promoted and go up because of your peer coworker group's support, which creates a strong incentive to not rock the boat and go against sacred cows that work well enough. The person who succeeds in big company post a hypergrowth phase is a very different person than one who made the hypergrowth happen.
Why, is it illegal?

It's for sure scummy, but from what I've read about patent trolls, usually they get to continue until they eventually run into someone principled (and bankrolled) and then they lose their patent due to prior art in many cases.

I've never heard of them getting in actual trouble.

> The GPU in your computer is about 10 to 100 times more powerful than the CPU, depending on workload. For real-time graphics rendering and machine learning, you are enjoying that power, and doing those workloads on a CPU is not viable. Why aren’t we exploiting that power for other workloads? What prevents a GPU from being a more general purpose computer?

What other workloads would benefit from a GPU?

Computers are so fast that in practice, many tasks don't need more performance. If a program that runs those tasks is slow, it's because that program's code is particularly bad, and the solution to make the code less bad is simpler than re-writing it for the GPU.

For example, GUIs have been imperceptibly reactive to user input for over 20 years. If an app's GUI feels sluggish, the problem is that the app's actions and rendering aren't on separate coroutines, or the action's coroutine is blocking (maybe it needs to be on a separate thread). But the rendering part of the GUI doesn't need to be on a GPU (any more than it is today, I admit I don't know much about rendering), because responsive GUIs exist today, some even written in scripting languages.

In some cases, parallelizing a task intrinsically makes it slower, because the number of sequential operations required to handle coordination mean there are more forced-sequential operations in total. In other cases, a program spawns 1000+ threads but they only run on 8-16 processors, so the program would be faster if it spawned less threads because it would still use all processors.

I do think GPU programming should be made much simpler, so this work is probably useful, but mainly to ease the implementation of tasks that already use the GPU: real-time graphics and machine learning.

One of the things he talks about is something other commenters have mentioned - It's just as much a show for the parents, and in some cases, directly addresses the parents, but not in a fourth-wall-breaking way. They're not really talking to the parent, but it's one character talking to another, but it's drawn so that the character is looking at the viewer.
> new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies.

> [...]

> The school said it already began searches for new faculty members with joint positions in both the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies and the departments of Economics, Political Science, and School for International and Public Affairs to “contribute to a robust and intellectually diverse academic environment, reinforcing the University’s commitment to excellence and fairness in Middle East studies.”

Does anyone have a diagram of these departments now and before? Center for Palestine studies, the first one in the US, now under one senior vice provost also covering the rest of MESAAS (which I think they were already part of before), but the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies doesn't go under that provost and is part of an interdisciplinary Faculty of Arts and Sciences? What's actually changing there, MESAAS didn't have something like the vice provost before?

Is it put into arts instead of the Department of Religion because Judaism is unique in that it represents both a religion and an ethnoreligious group but I guess would still go under Department of Religion, but Israel and Jewish studies would be a political and ethnic group, wouldn't that fit more naturally under MESAAS instead of Arts and Sciences?
Way too much prior art, no?

You've lost touch with the context. "building out more public transit, encouraging alternate forms of transportation, and mildly discouraging car use through a fee" wasn't at issue

The claim was: "The only inconvenience [of not having a car and only using public transportation in a dense city] is that sometimes where you're going is a bit of a walk."

This was refuted with examples of other sources of inconvenience like: "Bit of a walk" is a nice way of saying it but in reality it means you are very limited with things like shopping. You're kind of stuck with the nearest walkable grocer." which was followed by "My point is that having a car is nice and I want people to have nice things." and that pushing public transportation for the sake of public transportation (ignoring the limitations it would bring to people's lives) doesn't make sense, which brought us to "lose your freedoms because it's better for you and less ugly"

Having a car means being able to go where you want, when you want, how you want.
It means you can shop at stores that are out of walking range. It means you can pile your two Mastiffs into a car to take them to the vet. It means you can go to visit a loved one at times when public transportation doesn't run, travel to places it doesn't reach, and avoid adding large amounts of travel time (either waiting or walking) to your trips.

Giving up cars would very obviously mean a huge loss in people's freedom, and introduce large impositions on their time. That's a hard sell when the argument is just "it'll be better for your health, less harmful to the environment, and cities will look prettier"

Public health and environmental concerns are good things to address, but cars solve a lot of problems too, including many that public transportation doesn't solve, and public transportation introduces other problems that cars don't have. If you care about encouraging the use of public transportation it'd be very worthwhile to acknowledge those things and take them into account.
I'm comparing the US to a nation of laws. In a nation of laws, you can determine the outcome from the rules. In the US, you can't. In the US warrant rules don't apply. Chain of custody rules don't apply. Instead the judge extending 'good faith' to law enforcement when they fail to follow the rules applies.

A nation of laws doesn't exist when the judges discretion in favor of the Police who 'are trusted' and receive deferential accommodation over the rights of civilians to expect the laws/rules enforced on the government even if inconvenient.
Do you think it's good enough for "business"? I pay too much for screenconnect and absolutely hate it, but it does usually just work.
> it feels that any profit is a scam

It is so weird we talk about caring about an invisible variable that is actually irrelevant.

In theory we should only look at the price and judge whether our expected benefits are likely to exceed that price. And we get distracted by measuring things in $, when what really matters is our benefits which can't be measured in $.

We are also distracted by ideals of fairness (a foolish goal in a business transaction) and zero-sum thinking (am I getting ripped off?)

I don't mind spending money on quality. What I hate is the information gap, and the costs of having to learn how to judge quality myself (because price is no proxy measure). I am distrustful of so many biased signals, plus so many other people's opinions are either unhelpful or influenced.

Mostly we each just fall back on an A versus B heuristic. I find it absolutely mad that the world works at all.

And an answer: look at the bad buying decisions made by others, and learn from their mistakes. I watch my father with money to spare, he wastes 2 hours to save $1, or he avoids spending money on something that would benefit his life or the life of someone he cares for, or he won't buy a Toyota because he hated their adverts once, or he keeps buying a Nissan even after being burnt by a severe costly design flaw.

It's unfortunate that the article references several alleged errors that are fundamentally inconsequential (did people participate in Karaoke on a flight ? wtf ?) before it gets around to mentioning that a co-founder of Facebook endorses the book, that reference is three paragraphs from the end.

I found the article "Eight things we learned from the Facebook Papers" interesting because it exposes the technical limitations social networks face, regardless of their comms bleating on about their being technical geniuses. For example, an internal message admits, "Our ability to detect vaccine-hesitant comments is bad in English, and basically non-existent elsewhere." This was about 2020 anti-vax comments, but it likely applies to any content in less common languages, yet this issue rarely comes up in discussions about their moderation efforts.

None of this is to deny that much of what goes on in Facebook, and the like, is primarily related to money while concern for the consumers well-being is very much secondary. It seems to me, that whatever the shortcomings of specific parts of 'Careless People' it's broad message is well worth spreading.
