I’ve always found Instacart to be extremely slow with giant latencies. Of course I don’t know if that’s due to Postgres or some other design flaw…

Why?

For me, it feels like a prompt injection based security nightmare.

Literally every file on my mac and every site I browse is potential malware.

Edit to add: every email and text message as well.


What’s the bug

*best open models

What made it so great?

It was as though MS actually built something amazing and Nokia was back to its roots of building solid, well designed phones.

UI was very forward thinking in the right ways. Buttery smooth, etc.

Of course it flopped because a bit late (arguable) so it lacked apps.

No idea why this couldn’t have been brought to android at least as a launcher or provide some kind of support to run Android apps. Just MS being MS —ordinary users/consumers aren’t their primary target in general.


The OS was smooth and worked well, and the design philosophy across basically every app was extremely coherent. Everything worked well, and everything felt like it fit together. Really its only problem was the lack of apps due to companies intentionally not supporting Windows Phone (Microsoft had a YouTube client that Google made them kill off, and Google never bothered to release a replacement IIRC)

But your performance reviews don’t have anything to do with age, so I don’t see how that could be.

Any review that's not a hard metric can be gamed to be about anything the reviewer cares about.

They don't like your age and prefer some fresh face to pull with no family alnighters and work for half the money? The performance review will show you as lacking motivation or some such shit.

And any review that's based on hard metrics, can be manipulated by the reviewer just as well.


aka all of GitHub OSS

Not OSS only, likely also the enterprise private repos, with a lot of business secrets.

Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking.

Seems like trusting AWS with your data has been a good bet for a long time. They wouldn’t have the size/scale otherwise.

What makes you say that

Because humans are bad at reacting to things that might happen; we’re far better once there is a literal crisis.
