We cannot know without you potentially sharing PII on your case history or the details of your appeals process and what support avenues we have already explored. The company is not going to comment on that publicly and anone else who does is just going to be speculating or sympathy posting about their last bad customer service experience.
Since this is affecting your business, get legal advice, either from your business's regular lawyer (you have one, right?) or a consumer affairs lawyer. You are not going to get useful legal advice here. Nobody ever does, for the reasons outlined above.
I've planted many trees. It costs nothing. I don't understand what this has to do with social justice.
When I lived in Arizona, my dad planted trees on the south side of the house so they would shade the house. Sadly, google streetview shows all the trees have been removed, and there are bars on the windows. I don't get it.
There are problems which are difficult to solve even with immense computing power, which will confuse even powerful LLMs, but which humans can easily solve. That won't require JS, yet be a big obstacle to attackers. IMHO the biggest reason why such solutions aren't more widely deployed is because the incumbent wants to keep its effective browser monopoly.

Such a scheme would need a large amount of LLMs or actual (intelligent) humans too.
Google clearly wanted to make account recovery accessible even without JS
Unfortunately, they made authentication require JS.

> Normally, when you have expenses, you deduct them off your revenue to find your taxable profit. If you have $1 million in sales, and $900k in costs, you have $100k in profit, and the government taxes you on that profit.
This is an incomplete description. The ordinary rule depends on the nature of the expenditure. If your expense is for building an asset that generates recurring revenue—including paying people to build such an asset—then you cannot immediately deduct that expense. Instead, you must depreciate it over the lifetime of the asset.
The issue here is that software development is sometimes genuine R&D and other times more like building an income producing asset. E.g. if you spend money building infrastructure software to move bits from one place to another, that’s more like a factory building a conveyer belt than it is like investing in fundamental pharmaceutical research.

I think it's going to look alright on iOS/iPadOS where apps are inherently full-screen and the "background images" are really "foreground content" where you do kind of want the controls to "recede".
On the other hand, I can already tell I'm going to despise this on macOS. I always work with windows maximized on my laptop, because I just want to concentrate on the document I'm editing, or code I'm writing, and have maximum space for that. And the past couple of versions of macOS by default make your menu bar a weird pale purple or pink or green that is hugely distracting because it's a blurred image of your desktop. Fortunately you can turn that off with the "Reduce Transparency" accessibility option, which I do.
But the idea that people using Macs want to always being seeing some colorful desktop image around the edges and at the top just seems bizarre to me. iPhones and iPads are more for consuming, so this makes more sense. And within apps on Macs this seems like it'll be fine. But I hate that it doesn't seem designed to let me "tune out" the desktop image while I use an app. It's taking existing translucency and just making it worse...
Well it makes developing Docker Desktop infinitely easier for them, since they no longer need to start their own Linux VM under the hood. I think the software is "sticky" enough that people will still prefer to use Docker Desktop for the familiar CLI and UX, Docker Compose, and all the Docker-specific quirks that make migrating to a different container runtime basically impossible.

Literally everything I've ever read about Forstall and his behavior post-Jobs makes me think he would have been an awful CEO. It just sounded like he was "Game of Thrones-ing" from the second Cook became CEO. E.g. it was widely reported that Ive and Forstall could barely stand to be in the same meeting with each other. I may have some criticisms in my mind about some of Ive's design post-Jobs, but I don't think I have ever heard other folks be critical of Ive's leadership style or personality - everything I've read about him uses words like "inspirational", "remarkable", "calm", etc. I've read tons of criticism about Forstall.

The Tesla robo-taxi launch date in Austin was supposed to be June 12th.[1] Today is June 9th. Real Soon Now.
The launch date has become more vague recently.[2] That article is amusing. It mentions the Texas' weak regulation of self-driving as a big advantage for Tesla. This is opposed to California's supposedly "heavy-handed" regulation. Yet all the real self-driving companies operate in California. Only Tesla complains and goes elsewhere.

Not really weird. In the USA pretty much anything that is split along the lines of urban/rural, liberal/conservative, coastal/inland etc. is immediately political.
Every single feature of an "agent" they have described is just...generic software development. Writing loops. if/else statements to branch execution paths. Waiting on input. Spawning child processes and communicating with them. Running CPU-bound operations (like parsing).
So every discussion about the "best" programming language is really you telling the world about your favorite language.
Use Go. Use Python. Use JavaScript. Use whatever the hell else you want. They are all good enough for the job. If you are held back it won't be because of the language itself.
WSL 1.0, given that WSL 2.0 is regular Linux VM running on HYPER-V.
"the code that an LLM produces, guided by your prompt inputs, is more or less equivalent to any code that you could produce yourself, even controlling for time spent"
That's been my personal experience over the past 1.5 years. LLMs, prompted and guided by me, write code that I would be proud to produce without them.
If you submit a really detailed bug report, such as one where the problem was reproduced under a debugger, it becomes a "the reason you suck" speech. This really upsets some dev teams. The usual responses of the "turn it off and on again" and "reinstall" don't make the complaint go away.
There are two bugs in Firefox I'd like to report, but it's futile. One is that, launched on Ubuntu, Firestorm does disk I/O for about three minutes on launch. During that period it can't load complex pages, although it loads ones without Javascript fine. The other, again on Ubuntu, is that it freezes when large text boxes are being filled in. This only happens on some sites.

> maintenance activities after the taxpayer places the computer software into service
This is the part that I think makes this whole jig of treating software development like a purely capitalizable expense so nuts.
I previously worked at a public company that wanted software developers to treat as much work as possible as CapEx - it makes you look more profitable than you actually are, which is bad for taxes but good for your stock price. Developers hated it. The problem with it is that with modern web based software, CI/CD, A/B testing, etc. that the line between "new software" (i.e. CapEx) and "maint" (i.e. OpEx) is so blurred as to be pointless. E.g. many times I'd be fixing a bug (technically OpEx) but that would often lead to some new features ideas, or ways to structure the software to make it easier to add new features (technically CapEx). Software is fundamentally different from capital expenditures in other areas, and assuming a 5 year straightline depreciation schedule for software is laughably absurd.
What other sort of capital expenditure has you do releases every day, or requires 24/7 monitoring? I would argue that the business of software has changed so drastically over the past 20 or so years that it makes much more sense just to categorize it as OpEx by default (for both tax and GAAP purposes), and only have it be capitalized as CapEx for very small and specific reasons.

Some teams have a frickin' bad attitude and couldn't care less. Try submitting a bug about how menus are displayed 5px from where they are supposed to be in a GTK app rendered on a X11-server that runs on the Windows desktop and see if the GTK developers care. Or try telling the react-testing-framework folks that they're asking me to put handrails in my bathroom when my house is burning down. Have experiences like that and you'll conclude it isn't worth filing bug reports.
Now the linux-industrial complex is a special case, if you are a software engineer and know how to isolate a problem and submit a great bug report you will often hear from people who will say you sent them the best bug report all quarter. It helps if the team is working with web tech, younger, more diverse, and never heard of the GPL.
While I agree with UBI at a philosophical level, attempting to study it scientifically with a sample size of N people in an existing functioning economy is pointless. If 10 people have UBI and 1000 others are doing regular work, you can't turn around and say "see how much happier the 10 people are!" Of course they are happy. They earn more money than their neighbors for doing less work. Now give everyone else the same amount of money and see how things play out. Is rent going to be the same? Is anyone going to be working menial jobs? Is UBI going to increase income inequality by sending more money to the capital class (like say COVID relief checks did)? We won't know all this until such an experiment is done at an economy-wide level.
Inflation is coming regardless due to global structural demographics.
Handing out fiat is likely infeasible, it’s too brute force without being able to control inflation per category, but a bifurcation with housing, energy, food, etc provided and fiat more reserved for human labor purchases is possible imho. I came across the idea somewhere of two currencies: one for things made by machines, and one for things made by humans. The first can be printed, the second worked for or otherwise constrained. I think that is what the future may look like as energy and tech abundance hits the declining demographic curve.

Many "obvious" inventions take a very long time to happen. For example, the very slow evolution of boats. It took forever to come up with the keel. Also the fork.

I see it the other way around. Freakin' Microsoft proved you could integrate a full desktop with a tablet interface and it worked just fine. Customers didn't care: most of them asked "who moved my cheese?" the other question was "do I have to stow my Surface when the plane is landing?"
For what the iPad Pro costs, Apple should have brought the Mac UI to it 5 years ago, but Apple wants you to travel with a Macbook and an iPad and a Phone whereas one sleek device could replace them all.
Good thing their budget has been slashed and the new head of terrorism prevention at DHS is some 22 year with absolutely zero CT experience /s
Microsoft was more progressive on this in the Windows 8 era but its customers didn't care. Back then I was going to Hackathons with a $30 Fire tablet and a $5 plastic clip and a $15 mouse and $20 keyboard, I'd remote desktop into a server so in terms of power I had a three-axle dump truck and they had Honda Civics but in terms of looks my tablet was the Civic and Macbooks and gaming laptops looked like the dump truck.
I think the main impact of the "two-in-one" was that the stewardesses on planes had to change their announcements to clarify if you had to stow your Surface tablet on landing. I couldn't get why everybody thought that they had to get a $250 case and keyboard combo for their tablet instead of just using Bluetooth which would let you choose many different keyboards and mice at different price points.
I got sick and tired of "silly boomer, don't you know a phone and a computer are totally different things" because video game emulation proved long ago that Turing complete is Turing complete.

What about HR, etc who use excel documents?
IF they are using it rather than developing it, no. If they put in 5 hours a week writing code, yes for those 5 hours. This isn't hard.
In a phase when I was doing a lot of networking I hooked up with a chip designer who familiarized me with the "memory wall", ASIC and FPGA aren't quite the panacea they seem to be because if you have a large working set you are limited by memory bandwidth and latency.
Note faster-than-silicon electronics have been around for a while, the DOD put out an SBIR for a microprocessor based on Indium Phosphide in the 1990s which I suspect is a real product today but secret. [1] Looking at what fabs provide it seems one could make something a bit better than a 6502 that clocks out at 60 GHz and maybe you can couple it to 64kb of static RAM, maybe more with 2.5-d packaging. You might imagine something like that would be good for electronic warfare and for the simplest algorithms and waveforms it could buy a few ns of reduced latency but for more complex algorithms modern chips get a lot of parallelism and are hard to beat on throughput.
[1] Tried talking with people who might know, nobody wanted to talk.
That's true from a performance perspective but, in building an agent in Go, I was thankful that I had extremely well-worn patterns to manage concurrency, backlogs, and backpressure given that most interactions will involve one or more transactions with a remote service that takes several seconds to respond.
(I think you can effectively write an agent in any language and I think Javascript is probably the most popular choice. Now, generating code, regardless of whether it's an agent or a CLI tool or a server --- there, I think Go and LLM have a particularly nice chemistry.)
This article starts with this section about how easily we can trick ourselves and ignore clear evidence of something:
> But Cialdini’s book was a turning point because it highlighted the very real limitations to human reasoning. No matter how smart you were, the mechanisms of your thinkings could easily be tricked in ways that completely bypassed your logical thinking and could insert ideas and trigger decisions that were not in your best interest.
The author is an outspoken AI skeptic, who then spends the rest of the article arguing that, despite clear evidence, LLMs are not a useful tool for software engineering.
I would encourage them to re-read the first half of their article and question if maybe they are falling victim to what it describes!
Baldur calls for scientific research to demonstrate if LLMs are useful programming productivity enhancements or not. I would hope that, if such research goes against their beliefs, they would chose to reassess.
(I'm not holding my breath with respect to good research: I've read a bunch of academic papers on software development productivity in the past and found most of them to be pretty disappointing: this field is notoriously difficult to measure.)
It's impossible to have "native" support for Linux containers on macOS, since the technology inherently relies on Linux kernel features. So I'm guessing this is Apple rolling out their own Linux virtualization layer (same as WSL). Probably still an improvement over the current mess, but if they just support LXC and not Docker then most devs will still need to install Docker Desktop like they do today.

> Trump is violating the Posse Comitatus Act which prohibits anyone from using the Army or Air Force for law enforcement
... It only prohibits this veing done without specific statutory authority. In addition to provisions of the Insurrection Act, specific statutory authority for Presidential use of the National Guard specifically for, among other purpose, executing the laws of the United States is found in 10 USC § 12406 regarding federalizing the Guard [0], which is the basis cited for the recent mobilization. So, the argument that it is violating Posse Comitatus requires arguing as well that the invocation of § 12406 is invalid. There is an argument for that, as § 12406 explicitly requires orders for its purposes shall be issued through the Governors of the states involved, so the argument is that, by bypassing the Governor, Trump is acting outside of the cited statutory authority of § 12406, and therefore also violating Posse Comitatus.
The problem with that technical argument is that it probably achieves nothing in practice even if it works, as the conditions for invoking the Insurrection Act encompass those for § 12406, allow federalizing any of the universal militia (including the Guard) and not just the Guard, and do not require orders through the Governor of the State [1], so if there were found to a legal issue, a new order with the same effect founded in 10 USC § 253 instead of 10 USC § 12406 could immediately be issued.

If it had a larger learning base, quite possibly.
Erlang possibly even more so. The argument that pure code is generally safer to vibe code is compelling to me. (Elixir's purity is rather complicated to describe, Erlang's much more obvious and clear.) It's easier to analyze that this bit of code doesn't reach out and break something else along the way.
Though it would be nice to have a language popular enough for the LLMs to work well on, that was pure, but that was also fast. At the moment writing in pure code means taking a fairly substantial performance hit, and I'm not talking about the O(n log n) algorithm slowdowns, I mean just normal performance.
Is there a beta we can install to try out these models yet?

This is the fundamental reason why I am in favor of a ban on simply posting AI-generated content in user forums. It isn't that AI is fundamentally bad per se, and to the extent that it is problematic now, that badness may well be a temporary situation. It's because there's not a lot of utility in you as a human being basically just being an intermediary to what some AI says today. Anyone who wants that can go get it themselves, in an interactive session where they can explore the answer themselves, with the most up-to-date models. It's fundamentally no different than pasting in the top 10 Google results for a search with no further commentary; if you're going to go that route just give a letmegooglethat.com link. It's exactly as helpful, and in its own way kind of carries the same sort of snarkiness with it... "oh, are you too stupid to AI? let me help you with that".
Similarly, I remember there was a lot of frothy startup ideas around using AI to do very similar things. The canonical one I remember is "using AI to generate commit messages". But I don't want your AI commit messages... again, not because AI is just Platonically bad or something, but because if I want an AI summary of your commit, I'd rather do it in two years when I actually need the summary, and then use a 2027 AI to do it rather than a 2025 AI. There's little to no utility to basically caching an AI response and freezing it for me. I don't need help with that.

Lately I've been thinking "there is no such thing as an application, there are only screens" in the context of HTMX-enhanced web applications.
If your persistence layer and long-term data structures are solid you can accept shoddy coding in screens (e.g. a small bundle of http endpoints.) From that viewpoint you modernize an application a screen at a time and if you don't like a shoddy screen you create a new screen. From that viewpoint you vibe code screens but schemas and updating are carefully handwritten code, though I think deterministic code generation from a schema is the power tool for that.
>It was clear you needed a new phone and your current one just became a lot worse for everyday tasks.
Not, it wasn't clear at all. In fact, gadget freaks aside most people don't care, and update after when the device is all battered and battery has had too many cycles, or in some 2 year schedule or so, based on what funding they get from their carrier.
What's more, iPhones hold their resale second hand value just fine (better than any Android phone), which means lots of people also buy older models, and don't see the "latest and greatest" as a necessity.

Personally a browser extension is the last kind of software I want to install.
Circa 2000 all of my "normie" relatives had 20 or 30 different "toolbars" installed in their browsers from the likes of Yahoo, Lycos, Hotmail, Infoseek, Altavista, etc. They had horrible 640x480 screens that were effectively 640x120 but they thought it was normal, didn't have a choice, etc.
When you install plugins into GUI applications they eventually die of "pluginitis" as something adds 0.2s of latency here and something else adds 0.3s and... wow, a race condition!
The cases I will install an extension are: (1) it is required for work, a project, whatever or (2) I expect it to improve, not reduce performance, such as an adblocker or anti-tracking tool.
It might seem like an anachronism, but I still make bookmarklets that do pretty fancy things such as to cue a personal webcrawler.

There's a difference between a doctor entertaining a medically-irrelevant suggestion from a patient (or patient's family), vs. assuming that the subsequent improvement was related to it, and then making that decision for some other patients (or suggesting it to them). The former is being accommodating, the latter is making treatment changes without good reason.
Improvement or no change aren't the only two possible outcomes for a patient. They could also get worse. What's worse, often neither improvement nor decline are obviously related to the treatment, or treatment changes.
Maybe it's the circadian rhythm thing. Maybe it's some delayed effects of something unrelated about the patient, that just coincided with your intervention. Maybe it's just a response to a change - any change. Or maybe it's just completely random. The point is, you don't know. You might feel like you do, or maybe it really looks obvious - but from N=1 you don't actually know, not enough to potentially bet other people's health on it.
Because maybe you do go ahead, and make a schedule change to another few patients - and few days later, suddenly and for no apparent reason, one of them goes into critical condition and dies soon after. Good luck convincing the grieving family, your colleagues, the board - and your own conscience - that the schedule change could not have possibly caused this. You won't, because you don't actually know.
As big fan of C++ modules (see my github), we are decades away of widespread adoption, unfortunately.
See regular discussions on C++ reddit, regarding state of modules support across the ecosystem.
It helps. I think Boris Johnson was very happy to play the Churchill role.
The more interesting question is always why America suddenly forgot all its usual rhetoric of freedom, democracy, and liberating random countries (sometimes against their will) in this particular case, and whether it has anything to do with propaganda and bribery operations.

For what it’s worth, the deepest-thinking and most profound programmers I have met—hell, thinkers in general—have a peculiar tendency to favour pen and paper. Perhaps because once their work is recognised, they are generally working with a team that can amplify them without needing to interrupt their thought flow.
