That’s an old trick I learned when I googled “my furnace won’t start” back in the day. Didn’t have to make videos. Just scrolled a few handyman sites.

I’d like to understand what you were doing at figma that was so damn important for your boss to ask this of you. I’ve used figma, it’s definitely not critical software product that people place their lives on.

At the time I was a product manager looking after some of the more technically complex features (components, variables, publishing). They were worried that Extended Collections (multi-brand theming essentially) would be delayed further, which at the time was also a dependency for slide theming and themes for their prompt to design feature.

With all honesty it was the most technically complex feature I’ve ever worked on. I think my boss at the time didn’t think he could cover for me. That doesn’t mean it was a fair ask though - I had requested that time off 6mo in advance and had everything approved, it was also between thanksgiving and Christmas, the slowest time of the year. It soured me quite a bit.


Likely the value of his boss’s stock options leading up to their IPO.

Yes and no. ie6 couldn’t render anything near the full specification so tables and other tricks were used where css couldn’t cut it. I’d still that that over JavaScript “apps”

I don't think self-driving is remotely close to working at any scale. I also don't think it's the killer-app. Right now, cheap electrics and moreso cheap hybrids are the killer.

I don’t know if you’ve tried Tesla FSD, but I use it almost every day. It is not perfect, but it is amazing.

Waymo, of course, is everywhere here in the Bay Area. The tech works at scale today.


it works in the west. In specific areas and under specific conditions.

Driving data is cultural data.

This is one of the many blind spots from commenters, when they think about their own experience and generalize it to the larger global market.


It works "at scale" if you have no idea what "at scale" actually means and have never left the Bay Area or NYC. Or if you like, don't believe weather exists.

I ride in my friends Model Y Performance with HW 4.5 from time to time and it always gets us from point A to point B without any interventions that I have seen yet and this is in Wisconsin, and yes it was working well with some snow and ice conditions this past winter. It seems really impressive to me at least.

Okay, but do you admit it (self-driving, either Tesla or Waymo) works in the Bay Area? Because the OP said self-driving is not remotely working "at any scale".

What do you think about MCP security being limited as it is. Frankly, it seems mathematically impossible.

This is the most infuriating part of dealing with support engineers at companies i've paid giant bills with. They didn't answer my question, i get a wall of text that i read 4 times before i figure out it says nothing, and nothing seems to get fixed.

And this is yet another problem, it's stochastic. And often it's self-contradicting even within the same response. What else do you expect from a language model which essentially predicts tokens.


> It doesn't answer the question of "what do we do about parents that don't do their job properly."

Define “properly” and how often do the self-righteous themselves cause harm. I see a strong desire for people to want to “control” all outcomes on everything and have everyone in the world think and say and act as they want.


Yes but you see, my views are the correct ones and should be the only allowable views. Other people who want this are controlling and their evil views are simply wrong. If you don’t agree with me you’re a bad person.


Datacenters.


The bots spam even when there's no bug bounty program. The emails start out with "I received $500 for a similar reported on another site"


Thankfully the number of beg bounties I've seen has been stable so far. Maybe they're just devoting most of their time on the places that openly promise money.
