> If you stood on the street corner and asked every passerby what they would change about their phone, I think you would be there all day before someone said "I wish I could replace the battery".
Are you sure about this? I've heard this complaint from a lot of non-tech people who are old enough to remember flip phones with replaceable batteries. It might be age related.
It’s an innate human desire to do everything in one’s power to save the person you love.
If you had a feeling you could do more, would you not try?
When you’re not personally involved, it’s easy to see that this might be misguided, but when living through it and experiencing daily fear of loss of your partner, it’s extremely difficult to think logically.
I have seen this multiple times and it’s always so unbearably sad.
Exactly how I feel about this. As a European living in the US this reads “American discovers sitting down with a cup of coffee instead of taking it outside”.
I’ve been asking this question for a while since I love Rails but I don’t like Ruby that much.
I think only Django comes close, although I haven’t tried it, but I dislike Python much more than Ruby.
There are always attempts in every language to replicate the convention over configuration and batteries included approach of Rails, but they all lose steam pretty quickly.
I just don’t think there is an alternative to Rails. It’s a giant project that is actively developed for over 2 decades now.
This is what I miss the most. I moved to the US 12 years ago, also from Croatia, and while I have friends here, the lifestyle there is just conducive to spending time hanging out with people.
It's really like a different reality.
Coffee before work? Sure thing.
Another coffee after work? Absolutely.
Drinks in the evening? Definitely.
The thought of not seeing your friends for a month or longer is just absurd over there. If you don't see them regularly they're not your friends. The whole culture is built around spending time with people, and I only realized that after I left.
I enjoy living in the US, but man, I do miss having such a social life.
Sure but that’s all in the future. All of the selling points of this device are in future tense. The “model” does not seem to exist, but it’s being “worked on”. Their client app was taken apart and there is nothing interesting there. Their servers were hacked into, and made to run Doom which is funny, and there is no trace of any AI model there.
One of their former engineers gave a statement that LAM is just a marketing term and nothing like that exists.
If all the selling points are in future tense at what point can we call it a scam?
Edit: also the founder’s previous gig was a crypto scam that also promised AI on the blockchain
Can't find the interview now, but I remember watching it and yes they specifically said that because it is an AI, rather than just an automation script, it is intelligent and will not be thrown off by site redesigns or CAPTCHAs (they have later said that they won't handle CAPTCHAs also).
Turns out that it is just an automation script and it cannot deal with site redesigns or CAPTCHAs.
Edit, just found they have made this claim also which simply doesn't exist at all:
> The R1 also has a dedicated training mode, which you can use to teach the device how to do something, and it will supposedly be able to repeat the action on its own going forward. Lyu gives an example: “You’ll be like, ‘Hey, first of all, go to a software called Photoshop. Open it. Grab your photos here. Make a lasso on the watermark and click click click click. This is how you remove watermark.’” It takes 30 seconds for Rabbit OS to process, Lyu says, and then it can automatically remove all your watermarks going forward.
Lords of midnight and its sequel Doomdark’s revenge. I still think its one of the best strategy games ever made and it was released 40 years ago on the ZX Spectrum.
Thanks for this. It looks like a great read. As an immigrant I was always mildly annoyed by this idea.
Like, yes, my language has a ton of words for all possible familial relationships, for example different words for maternal and paternal uncle, but that’s because familial relationships are important in my culture and that’s reflected in the language.
Language is the reflection of culture, not the other way around
You’re right but also keep in mind that company policies are often made without much thought. I can totally see a BigCorp making a policy that no AI clients are to be installed on their machines, regardless if the functionality is turned off
It’s quite different. The incident with the door heavily implies a problem of airplane design. It makes sense to ground it.
What we knew at the time of the first crash of max 8 seemed to imply a pilot error. It wasn’t statistically significant. Only when another max 8 crashed soon after (I think soon enough to say “in a row”) was the max 8 grounded. If the second crash occured years after it wouldnt be significant.
Ooof...I'm not honestly. I don't do Rails that much these days but when I do it's just crazy how productive I can be. I think it's still a great fit for a huge number of web applications.
If performance is very important there are better options like Rust or Go, but otherwise RoR is my go to. Pretty much everything you need is baked into the framework and it's still being actively developed. Some of the new stuff is pretty great like Turbo frames and streams.
I respect that you enjoy working in Nodejs but Nodejs frameworks are just so barebones in my experience. I haven't tried Adonis but I still remember when I was looking how to parse query params in Koa. The official docs said to use a third party lib or regex them yourself from the request string...like why would I even use a framework at that point?
It's not, at least not from my experience, but you have to be vocal about what you want.
I was offered a managerial position multiple times and declined it every time saying that it would be a loss for both myself and the company. I'm way more useful in an individual contributor role and a better way to leverage my experience would be to be a cross-team IC and help on the more demanding projects/initiatives.
Eventually, after being vocal about it for a while and actively helping other teams with parts of the system they didn't have experience with, that's what I got. The bad part is that most challenging work often ends up in my lap. The good part is that most challenging work ends up in my lap.
I think pretty much all Spring games support that. Zero-K and BAR both do anyway. Both strategic zoom and real time “streaming” building came from Total Annihilation and Spring games are TA based.
> In a sense, a person is given too much freedom on Sundays and this lack of control can produce anxiety.
I feel this in a very specific way. It's not that I don't have anything to do, it's that there are so many options. There are so many things I want to do on my days off that I get overwhelmed and spend the day thinking which one of my projects to tackle.
In the end I usually just pass the time and not do anything constructive.
