- Yeah, this is not a new concept and I remember seeing one of his videos that explains this concept really well. Here the relevant video from 9 years ago for those uninitiated:
- No please don't do this. I have lost count how many times I tried to follow a link only to get a 404 page. If there is an issue where the app gives the user an error, show the error details & context directly and list the possible mitigation steps right then and there.
A URL with specific content is just another thing that now needs to be maintained along with the code and failure modes.
- > RP2354 has Flash finally
The flash is QSPI, so its not really on die flash with a real flash controller. There is some QSPI cache but it’s really a band-aid solution to not having the real thing. People around the net don't seem to understand the difference and it can be very misleading.
- I use "Todo Tree" in VS Code which is one of my mandatory extensions wherever I go. Super useful for not only tag highlighting, but as a general bookmark system inside the codebase.

- I also find this super annoying. In C++ land, Microsoft solves this problem by having "natvis" [0] files which allows you to have custom representations of complex & deeply nested objects. Unfortunately, most third-party debuggers don't support it. And like you said, any non-trivial program in Rust is basically not parsible without digger though 50 layers of nested abstractions.

- Linux will never get popular in the mainstream until the Linux community ditches the obsession with doing things through the command line. The second you need to open the terminal to do something useful, you already lost.
There are many reasons why Linux is not popular, but the over reliance on commandline is a obvious one I rarely hear people mention.
- Reminds me of this [1] great talk from Casey Muratori.
- > but should not be so large as to be an instant kill for what could be a legal business
Why not? A corporate death penalty should absolutely be a thing. If we can have it for people, then we can have it for a business. The problem is that government sucks at doing its own job and the usual punishments are a joke.
- Ok, we can ban M&A for all businesses who exceed $x million in revenue. Mom & pop can still put the work in and cash out, but bigger businesses are prohibited from eating eating their competitors and preventing disruptive businesses from growing and having a fair shot in the market.
The $x million limit can be decided upon based on the industry and other factors.
>nobody would ever create Goodreads
Lots of people create of businesses and pursue non-profitable enterprises for non-profitable reasons.
- Someone else posted a really compelling video where they test the power efficiency of Android and Apple phones.
Its really quite informative.
- MKBHD did a recent video on this [1]. The car charging infrastructure is just as important to the electric car experience as the electric car itself.
- This is the same method I use. I always wondered why they didn't use the cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) or why they didn't use the hours of a clock face to indicate direction. With the clock face, you get even more precision where exactly something happened. Man overboard, 4 o'clock!

- Questions: Hiring 30k over two years is alot of people. Where do these presumably qualified people come from? Are they MBA types? Finance majors? Do they take people off the street and train them? If so, how do we know these new people will be a net positive and not just administrative bloat? The article says they will hire more data scientists, but how many "data scientists" does the US pump out each year, and what does it take to convince them to work for the IRS?
I have so many questions on how the mechanics of an organizational change like this works.
- Mini rant:
I wish developers took 5 minutes to actually write (or show) what their app/utility/program actually does, in plain english terms. The more I browse random Github Repos, the more I see this lack of clarity.
> A keyboard logging and presentation utility for presentations, screencasts, and to help you become a better keyboard user.
This description tells me nothing of what it does. Even the linked website subtitle is useless. "A Keyboard Utility For All Your Windows Presentation Needs" tells me nothing. Luckily they have a video gif on the website that makes it more clear on what it does, and it really should be in the Github readme page aswell.
> Worryingly, each of these submissions has already been reviewed by 3-5 peer experts, most of whom missed the fake citation(s). This failure suggests that some of these papers might have been accepted by ICLR without any intervention. Some had average ratings of 8/10, meaning they would almost certainly have been published.
If the peer reviewers can't be bothered to do the basics, then there is literally no point to peer review, which is fully independent of the author who uses or doesn't use AI tools.
