The previous two token limits were:
user prompt credits (500)
flow actions credits (1500)
For power users, flow actions would deplete much more quickly (every time the LLM analyzed a file, edited, etc), so Windsurf removed the flow action limit, so you're only getting charged for 500 messages to the AI, which is strictly better for the user.
If a tool could stop all insecure code it would be an AGI. It's still on the programmer to review code they copy from the internet or generate from copilot.
> Less than a year after it promised to improve its response to sexual misconduct within the company, Google has recently been accused of mishandling a rape case.
> On May 28, 2021, at roughly 4:00 am, Jessica was staying in a house with 3 of her Google co-workers, when one of them raped her. This led to a spiral of events involving multiple suicide attempts, extensive medical care bills, and legal fees.
> “Jessica hasn’t been paid while Google is taking its sweet time investigating,” pointed out fellow Googler Rob Ruenes on Twitter.
> Even before Jessica Tao’s story was made public, though, in April 2021 over 2,000 Alphabet workers publicly signed a letter calling the company out for protecting harassers, stating that it still does not side with those who face harassment in the workplace.
Google still seems to be struggling with these sexual harassment cases - even with it's promises to improve.
> Space tourism raises important moral questions. Should self-professed climate leaders walk the climate talk?
> A paper published in Geophysical Research Letters suggests that black carbon or soot deposited in the stratosphere from the launch of 1,000 private rockets could increase polar surface temperatures by 1°C.
> By some accounts, the image of Earth from Apollo 8 in 1968 led to the first Earth Day. But this is 2021, when the effects of the climate crisis are grimly visible.
There is quite a moral dilemma for those elite pushing the boundaries of space + climate change.
Making these flights carbon neutral would only require a small amount of sequestration. It would likely be inconsequential if added to the cost of a ticket. Virgin Galactic's per-seat carbon footprint is equivalent to a long-haul economy airline seat.
$120B of $225B of Digital Ad Spend went to 3 tech companies. Amazon's inclusion here is surprising.
> Big Tech stocks like Google and Facebook are well known pure plays on the advertising space. However, Amazon’s inclusion may come as a surprise. Typically known for their ecommerce business, Amazon now also makes over $16 billion in ad revenue each year.
Usually Apple has been able to keep internal politics within the company - here's a few highlights from the article.
> In a new letter, some Apple employees are asking that the company allow staffers to work from home full time, with some restrictions. Apple has only agreed to let employees work from home two days a week, with limited exceptions.
> This is the second petition letter in two months from Apple employees writing about more flexible working conditions, and it’s a sign of continued rank-and-file dissent at the company.
> In June, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a memo saying that employees needed to return to the office at least three days a week beginning in September.
> From the letter & petition: “We continue to be concerned that this one-size-fits-all solution is causing many of our colleagues to question their future at Apple,” the letter states... it is too early to force those with concerns to come back to the office.
Hospitalisation data not a reason to doubt the vaccine - its a risk, the older you get, the higher risk you are. A few highlights from the article:
> Sir Patrick Vallance said: "In terms of the number of people in hospital who've been double-vaccinated, we know it's around 60% of the people being admitted to hospital with COVID."
> "But the rates should be lower than they have been previously because of the protective effects of vaccination."
> He said this was not surprising "because the vaccines are not 100% effective".
At present many more younger people are being admitted to hospital than older people in the UK. Given that older people are mostly vaccinated this could indicate vaccine efficacy. In June, around 70 percent of admitted patients were aged less than 65 and less than 30 percent were aged more than 65. Be interesting to know how the 60% quoted are split in terms of age.
Quick summary of the story - TLDR; sometimes the right answer depends on your interviewing circumstances.
> When I arrived at the interview, there were 2 other guys present. One would be my direct team lead, which was also the technical lead, and the other was his manager.
> Then they moved on to a follow up question: “How does this architecture relate to the model-view-controller pattern?”.
I knew this question was really tricky, because I know a lot of people make the mistake of directly linking the tiers to each of the model-view-controller.
> Normally, I would have given the correct answer, and have a nice discussion if they considered it wrong. But the problem was, that this guys manager was sitting next to him. If he didn’t know, I would totally humiliate him in front of his boss. So either he would stick to his guns and refuse the correctness of my answer, to save face. Or he needed to agree that he was wrong, and lose face. Anyway, there was only 1 proper solution to this: I had to answer what they thought was correct.
> The moral of the story? Job interviews are not all about your technical skills, it’s about people skills too. And this is good, because you need both in your job.
Incredible that NASA was able to recover this - they also estimate that they will be able to run many more years still!
> NASA has returned the science instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope to operational status, and the collection of science data will now resume.
> The Hubble team has been investigating the cause of the payload computer problem since it first occurred. On July 15, the team switched the spacecraft to backup hardware.
> NASA anticipates that Hubble will last for many more years and will continue making groundbreaking observations, working in tandem with other space observatories including the James Webb Space Telescope to further our knowledge of the cosmos.
