Submitted some pretty harsh feedback about this back in Jan after my old school technical father in law sent me a few AI generated “news” videos in a row about Trump and Venezuela. The AI label was technically on all of the videos but 3 taps away hidden in the video description, and not visible from the search results at all. So thankful YouTube is doing something about this.
Reminds me of Gall’s Law from his book Systemantics.
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.
Same for me, it was also my first time ever seeing code, and I still remember it well. While getting ready for swim practice in a locker room, my friend challenged me to beat his score on a button mashing game he programmed earlier that day in school on his TI-84. My 12 year old self was in awe of his BASIC skills.
Axolotls have also been used for over 200 years for medical research related to regenerative biology. They’re unique among vertebrates in that they can regenerate nearly every part of their body, even parts of their brain. https://orip.nih.gov/about-orip/research-highlights/amazing-...
Agreed. I just traveled to Peru for the first time a few months ago and visited Cusco for 7 days. For me, it was not enough, since all I wanted to do was go back immediately upon leaving. I'm normally the kinda person that wants to travel to as many new places as possible, but Peru was different. I can easily say I want to go back there at least 5 more times in my life.
Reflecting on it when I got home, I couldn't understand what made me not decide to go earlier in my life. I had Machu Picchu at the top of my bucket list since childhood as I'm sure many do, but it was never at the top for some reason. That was such a big mistake and I wish I went to Peru a long time ago, there's no other place like it, and it only gets harder to travel there the older you get since the altitude is rough. The number of elderly and retired people I saw struggling in Cusco from altitude sickness was too high. I heard a horror story of someone needing to spend a week in the hospital and unable to see a single site.
Was wondering the same thing. Couldn't they just load https://web.archive.org/save/{site_url} once a month in their Github action instead of managing the storage of these images?
Newton spent the majority of his life trying to answer this question. It'd be more interesting if the question asked “Will Newton’s prediction that the Second Coming won’t happen before 2060 be correct?”, but that might be a bit too long for Polymarket.
Extremely slow times - from development to production, backend to frontend. Depending on how bad things are, you might catch the microservice guys complaining over microseconds from a team downstream, in front of a FE dev who’s spent his week optimizing the monotonically-increasing JS bundles with code splitting heuristics.
Of course, it was because the client app recently went over the 100MB JS budget. Which they decided to make because the last time that happened, customers abroad reported seeing “white screens”. International conversion dropped sharply not long after that.
It’s pretty silly. So ya, good times indeed. Time to learn k8s.
This is why we need more incremental rendering[1] (or "streaming"). This pattern become somewhat of a lost art in the era of SPAs — it's been possible since HTTP/1.1 via chunked transfer encoding, allowing servers to start sending a response without knowing the total length.
With this technique, the server can break down a page load into smaller chunks of UI, and progressively stream smaller parts of the UI to the client as they become available. No more waiting for the entire page to load in, especially in poor network conditions as the author experienced from Anartica.
The Sphinx wasn't built with stone from a quarry, it was carved from the bedrock. It has since been restored a number of times, one of which added layers of limestone block which is easily distinguishable from the original shape.
