This is what surprises me the most about these stories of dealing with Google/Apple app stores. Most of the apps that aren't produced by very well-known studios or large corporations are just trash. There are few gems here and there but its like digging through a landfill to find anything decent.
See absolutely nothing wrong with this quote. The "scientific method" is almost a meaningless term because it means different things to different branches of study - discouraging its use for more accurate terminology makes perfect sense.
When I interviewed there in 2018 the recruiter specifically asked me to memorize all the leadership principles because I will be tested on them during the on-site interview. I feel bad for the candidates who now have to memorize two more of them :(
It's not about losing other people's money only. What I'm worried about is: are extremely over-leveraged and able to get the returns they have by doing tax and regulatory dodges that their competitors aren't participating in? Did SBF learn how to operate in the financial world from seeing how Jane Street operates?
This is what I have been thinking. This whole thing has soured in my mind: Jane Street, Effective Altruism. Crypto, VCs, Silicon Valley culture in general I already assumed are scummy.
This is the most important sentence to say over and over again in this entire discussion. Crypto people have somehow forgot this idea or maybe most of them never realized it in the first place. Your wallet is where your coins should be stored - the exchange is a place where you have pointers to your N wallets for N coins - not the freaking contents of the wallets themselves!
Is iMessage an American phenomena mostly? I don't know a single South Asian or Chinese person who uses iMessage. In Canada, most people use WhatsApp or Messenger, and some tech-savvy millenials use Signal.
Switching a few key libraries like OpenSSL to using quantum-resistant cryptography is WAY WAY easier than constructing a viable quantum computer (in secret) that is able to break 512 bit or 1024 bit key RSA.
The only thing I can think of is somehow speeding up drug discovery or materials research by accelerating atomistic simulation. However that's so far from reality it's hard to tell whether it will actually be faster in practice. (Pretty much the first application people like Feynman had in mind too)
I was on gruvbox dark for a while but recently moved to melange (https://github.com/savq/melange) - I find the colors are a bit more toned down and pleasant to look at.
There are dozens of TUI projects in C. None come close to the ease of use of Textual. I'm not sure I buy this idea of "someone's gonna rewrite in C" as a rule.
Because there are two cities: One of the ultra-rich and one for every one else. If you take your Maserati or Model X from your garage to an underground parking lot with a security guard, you don't care that there are thefts happening on the streets. Similar reasoning applies for every other issue people complain about. Don't like open-air markets for selling stolen goods in the Mission District? Simply don't go there. Out of sight, out of mind.
He's saying you're a luddite for not wanting Copilot to steal all your code and use it for furthering the grand vision of AI generated code (which supposedly represents the forward march of progress)
This Copilot saga is another good reminder of why nothing is free. Developers have been using Github for free for years - now the chickens have come home to roost. The copyright licenses are just a formality - a form of kayfabe. If you aren't hosting your own code (GNU style), you should assume Microsoft owns it, for all intents and purposes.
Brian Krzanich was cancelled/fired for sleeping with a coworker, so the then-CFO Bob Swan was made CEO after Intel tried to hire "externally" for a year or so. After MBA'fying Intel for a couple of years, he left to a16z, a perfect place for people like him. Pat Gelsinger then joined, probably too late, to try to steer the ship back in the right direction. Intel as an organization is finished. (I worked at Intel for 5 years through these changes)
Replace "threaten usage of nuclear weapons" with "threaten exit from the global finance system under the force of the largest military ever assembled on earth" and you have US policy for the past century.
Completely not my experience. All the questions I got were word-for-word Leetcode problems. At least Amazon goes through the trouble of disguising them as "Amazon Deliver Trucks going from house to house" instead of "an array of numbers"
It's a welcome break from the exaggerated emotions, fast breaks/cuts, and general dopamine triggers that are littered in your average youtube video. It's like watching Bob Ross. I love Asianometery!
