It's me again. (Sorry).

"I had a nightmare just last night about a victim I recall from early in my career...in such a horrible personal situation...who died in such a terrible way. She didn't have to. She was pushed to it and then allowed to because nobody she reached out to would help. I've seen dozens like that...and not a single one of them had to die." I wonder if your earlier career gave you PTSD and if your current circumstances are triggering it?

You had a bad judge twice - that guy is probably retired now or has moved on. I wonder if another might be reasonable - what you need is some kind of stable income so you can get space and stability. Are there no advocates who could help some kind of claim for someone in your situation - free advisors? Don't set some kind of end of year deadline on yourself - an advocate might be able to do a lot for you.
Real GDP per capita in 1950 was around the $2k mark, and things like cars and televisions were still out of the reach of the average person, never mind those on minimum wage. You have to be incredibly stupid, or more likely trolling, to believe that generation - which was an inch shorter than ours due to poorer nutrition and had an average lifespan a decade shorter - enjoyed four times our average wealth.

A lot of the investment that got us here depended on people actually having some incentive not to bury their dollars in the ground.
Often, companies don’t post a job ad. Hiring managers usually explore their network and their trusted employees’ networks before resorting to outside help.
Sometimes the interviewing process is already in motion when a referral comes in, as well.

“I worked with this person for 2 years and they always produced quality work” is way more of a confidence inspiring piece of evidence than “we interviewed this person for 30 minutes and they sounded like they’d be able to do the job”.

Hiring managers aren’t dumb. They know interviews are not super reliable measures of a person’s future performance. All hiring managers have stories about people who were bad at interviews and great at their job, or great at interviews and horrible at their job. A trusted referral decreases this risk significantly.
Maybe it's about time for Linus to break the fourth wall and flip them off again in the middle of of a university classroom?

I mean it worked wonders the first time, considering that's how we got the Nvidia proprietary driver to begin with.
After Halloween specials on candy are amazing. Theoretically, people could just always buy those deals and save them for the next year. That holds for all after season items.
A poor knock of...which actually worked. And IMHO the web was useful to "ordinary people" from day one, given they could get access to the internet.
> $1 billion parachute and public investors never got burned.

An unironical hero. Taking a rich, corrupt, murderous regime for billions and providing thousands of jobs. He is taking a whole lot of flak for doing a whole lot of good in the end.
By the sounds of it they didn’t appreciate the complexity of the software problem.

Perhaps with hindsight how could this problem been avoided before time, or flagged up as a key issue.

It seems the delivery of large infrastructure projects is a dark art, a civilisation that can deliver that without huge issues has a distinct advantage.

A large amount of the science in project management, as I understand it, stemmed from Britain not wanting to repeat delayed and overrun projects from several decades ago.

I doubt those lessons were forgotten, but did they just reveal deeper issues?
Beyond that they're doing some truly spectacular stuff with their hardware. DLSS is amazing quality-wise and lets you run games at acceptable quality with much weaker hardware than it would take to run at native resolution, and because it's primarily implemented using the dedicated ML hardware, for most games it doesn't eat into valuable rasterization/compute resources. AMD simply does not have the hardware to do this right now and they also don't have the years of research and development that went into modern DLSS (like the generally crappy 1.x versions of DLSS)

While true quality fanatics are going to want to run things at native resolution, the average person will be quite happy with DLSS 4k instead of native 4k, and they'll be able to get much higher framerates in that mode than on equivalently priced AMD hardware.
What is the mechanism through which TCE is suspected of causing PD?

Gattaca isn't just about the oppression of the natural born.

You cheer for a world full of Anton's, calculating that it isn't possible to make it to the other side, deciding not to try.
> Imagine, if you will a 1950s America where people are trying to post about civil rights and being downvoted into invisibility.

Are you labouring under the misapprehension that there were no civil rights leaders before the 1950s, and this was not exactly what happened to them?
I am still not clear how including black people or autistic people is political?
Well no, in the article the author mentions pictures posted to their Instagram story. These images are only publicly visible for 24 hours, and I imagine Instagram also does some manouevering to stop them being easily linkable.

Also the obvious massive difference that such a model would allow the original poster to delete the image.
Please elaborate. This is a useless comment without more information.
As I said: "mostly not aimed at C++ application developers" - note the word "mostly". Of course, some features are usable and useful to application developers.
Right, but what's the evidence for that? I get the argument you're making (and the nativist agenda behind it), but... it's literally disputed by the linked article. I mean, at some point one has to give up and just admit that maybe the analysis was wrong, right? Political facts still have to be facts in the real world, eventually, and thus subject to reason, right?
Doesn’t really make sense if they’re not posting porn. They might as well ban the BBC...
This is true, but people who argue for it most vocally refuse to acknowledge the fact that it’s not economically feasible to reward the lowest paid people with a MUCH MORE than comfortable lifestyle. The minimum wage is for two things: To prevent the exploitation of workers at a certain level, and to allow workers to support themselves.

Some people also fail to realize that there will always be poor people. The only thing we can do is change the way we treat them. I support raising the minimum wage, but not as much as some. If there are really no other jobs, that’s what government assistance programs are for.

Mind you, I grew up dirt poor in the midwest. I’m now on my way to earning six figures by taking advantage of those aforementioned government programs.

Also: Some people are satisfied being poor. If they really wanted to get out, they would. I did. Those who argue that you can’t raise a family on minimum wage: You shouldn’t keep having kids if you don’t have a decent job. Of course uneducated people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds refuse to follow this rule, and this is why poverty is often generational.
I think that by being acquired and now having owners and stakeholders, PIR is no longer a non-profit corporation. Their own press-release state they will consider seeking B Corporation certification.

Well, it is not perfect but actually quite usable. Unlike the competitors, it actually has the full power of a real LibreOffice under the hood, so the compatibility is much better what e.g. Google Docs can offer.
Sort of.

Let's say, for illustrative purposes, that I took an investment from Peter Thiel (it's someone like that). I wanted to work with this person since the late 1990s, and finally got a chance to. They've been an amazing and patient partner / investor, but it hasn't worked out as hoped. That part is very hard, and very frustrating; like trying to refuse gravity. If you've ever thrown everything you have at something, and felt like gravity was bringing the rocket back down early no matter what you do, then you know what I'm talking about.

I regret that the failure of the company will mean the end of working with this investor, it was a rare opportunity. I obviously get to retain value from the experience and what I learned. There is a significant toll that is paid with every serious start-up, measured in years of your life, effort, stress, difficult life trade-offs, and a love for what you do and having to deal with that not working out. All I've ever wanted to do is build, and work with great people; it always sucks to not come through for people you look up to, that believed in you. Even if that person can afford the lost investment, the principle context goes beyond money, it's the hope of creating something that matters and seeing it prosper.
Sam Harris states that you can achieve this enhanced selflessness via meditation (where we think of the "self" or "the ego" as that sort of "conductor" that the psychedelics turn off). However, while meditation is like a sailboat, psychedelics are like a rocket: both will take you places, but one much more quickly and with much more risk.

In my limited experience (2 trips) there was no negative aspect to psychedelics. There were things that were already negatively valenced, like riding in a car or visiting a friend's messy house briefly, however I had no inkling of a bad trip or any scary/demonic/overwhelming sensations.
As others have mentioned, it's possible and has been done in the FlocQ library. I don't have personal experience using them. I would expect proving properties to be somewhat challenging. There is a book available

Homomorphic encryption is malleable[1] in that it can, with enough information, be decrypted without knowing the private keys in some cases. For example, if you can correlate with other data it may be possible to effectively undo the encryption.

This is more like anonymization (effectively a one-way hash) than encryption. If you encrypt 2 different values with the same algorithm and key, you will get the same ciphertext which reveals information about the original value (i.e., that they are the same).

I just did a 10 day silent meditation retreat and there were points where the feeling had definite similarities to psychedelics. Hard work but worth it. I have a feeling that the meditation retreat went deeper than psychedelics did for me personally.
Oh, I am the one that has to be sorry! I didn't check the URL, even though I am aware of that issue with cgit (no line highlighting).

Yeah, using alloca() (in any form, incl. VLA) isn't good style. At least it's bounded, since filename_is_valid() checks the length. But it uses FILENAME_MAX, which could be too large for the stack.

Engineers like to work on cool technology and then try to find a problem that it solves which can be different from solving real problems for users.
Build an app to solve a problem that you have.
There's no need for whataboutism. The issue raised is that this work is seen as empowering and liberating, and the message that it can take an enormous mental toll is not similarly publicised, or is dismissed as right wing moralising. No one's doing that to stories about steel mill workers.
I was hoping most people would be familiar with the exponential chessboard story, of which this is pretty much the inverse.

Unifi routers do this, for sure.
The mentioned sites aren't filtered from DDG for me
Amazon is a desirable and good job in the low-skill, low-wage world. The only people who think otherwise are rich 6-figure making degree holders.
Adaptive/traffic aware cruise control makes life so much easier, especially in heavy stop-go traffic. Tesla's Autosteer works really well.
You should be aware that "their job" is probably not the right term. FreeBSD is developed (mostly, technically) by volunteers and you can't make them do things you want. If you won't step up to do it, it's little unfair to demand others to do it for you.
Lots of people here have already mentioned the Netflix fast.com test, which is indeed good.

But also worthy of recommendation IHMO is the Cloudflare one (speed.cloudflare.com). Main reason I say that is its one of the few that measures jitter (or at least openly exposes the measurement).
I think that, separate from any objective difference in "quality" of the eggs, seeing happy chickens is a perfectly fine reason to derive more enjoyment from consuming the eggs in question.
I can't shill any harder right now for Hubitat: https://hubitat.com/

It's an IoT hub that functions totally offline, no cloud dependency (they do have an app but it's optional). It uses a built-in HTTP server. It's not as well known or as successful because it's a little more - scratch that - a lot more technical of a product but that's the price you pay. So if they go out of business you keep humming along.
Maybe what they would get for it is less than the cost of selling it?
Irrelevant, but it's not that "someone can make us feel about ourselves a certain way", but rather "we make ourselves to feel a certain way depending on outside circumstances".
I don't use Bitlbee, but I had no idea that it supported micro-blogging. I thought that it was just IM protocols.
have you done any performance tests? how well does git scale in general for when you have billions of files and versions?

this gives me some ideas, good stuff.
That's an interesting point to ponder - do corporations really have more money than private citizens combined? Aren't corporations ultimately owned by private citizens? Certainly the wealth of individuals is spread more thinly and so is harder to mobilise for a particular cause.
I think it will naturally shift soon, given the megapixel race is pretty much over they will soon need more to differentiate their products from competitors.
I'm not saying you're making this fallacy...but give it a thought.

Author's problem description: Students went too far into debt getting an education that didn't lead to jobs

Author's solution: Invest more in the same education system
"Just because you got a degree does not qualify you to be employed."

...so does that mean that society will pay their bills until they are qualified to be employed? Seriously, employment is either a responsibility or it's a privilege. It can't be both.
By your logic, those who did well on the original exam but could not do as well on the makeup because they happened to have a bad mood/health/etc. will also be qualified as cheaters.

How does that make sense?

Just that by going to "about" I could find some "why K-9" page that explains what's great about it esp. compared to alternatives.
The original comment was assuming his partner more often did the laundry, which could explain the difference...
so how many images does the current SOTA take to train a classifier? Trying to gauge how much of an improvement Deepmind has made here.
This makes visual redesigns take foreeeeever though. Imagine moving a component from the main area of your app into a menu dropdown in the navbar, now you have to tear out all those props that you painstakingly passed down through 10 intermediary layers.
If you've heard of KOffice, this is a fork from 2010 which didn't inherit the project name but eventually became the official / only KDE office suite project.
Don't libraries like react solve this?
Companies probably like people moving from the middle of nowhere to SF or London better though. Especially young kids will probably undervalue themselves. They may know or figure out that you gotta ask for more salary in those areas but they might not know how much exactly they need to ask for and/or go down too much when HR starts their spiel.

Hopefully they've learned enough about how much the company values them and how much it cares about them, that they don't just accept a relocation and whatever salary their company gives them. I'm not too hopeful though, given what working conditions they already accept while living in SF (or wherever).
> Humidity affects the dessication of droplets, which in turn shifts what fraction become airborne (as aerosols) or settle out (as droplets). In the tiny enclosed volume between your face and your mask, that difference doesn't matter, because the whole volume is exchanged multiple times with each breath.

The article doesn't say anything about droplets or the number of viral particles you get exposed to. From the article:

> hydration of the respiratory tract is known to benefit the immune system.
We rejected inherited political power as a system of government. Some of us feel that inherited wealth is just as detrimental. We'd love to see more evidence of upward mobility, and we question the legal and tax systems that stop upward mobility from happening, even for those who are skilled and willing to work very hard.
Aliens = "some sort of being", or if you prefer, all-powerful beings that can appear/disappear at will, travel 1/2 the universe in the blink of an eye, paralyze you at will, erase your memory, time travel, defy gravity etc.... many non-scientists might call that a deity. I call them technologically advanced aliens.

Yes, i acknowledge the common use, but this is an uncommon place where i assumed most would notice the lack of capitalization. I may have erred in my assessment.

I used those words because i could think of no other way to say it and seem like i was not trolling. Alien technology? Super beings making stop lights out of cosmic phenomena? The ripples from the horrible atrocities committed in the Gear Wars?

In truth, i do not think it is anything so special as that, but what i think is irrelevant. What is relevant is that using the data gathered as well as the data already held 'we' should be able to eliminate a few possibilities. To reiterate, i have no idea how one or ones would go about this process of elimination; i was just wondering if there was a simple fact or basic set of facts that would negate the possibility of the phenomenon being designed by an intelligent creature or creatures.
Of course it’s currently possible, even in the lack of a formal Rust specification. One particularly obvious implementation is a C backend for LLVM.
There are cultural currents that place a value on ownership of intellectual property.

Imagine various MMOGs recognizing some NFT standard as authoritative, and only allowing designs to be used for character skins if the gamer owns the NFT corresponding to the design.

Depends on your usage pattern. My wife's Uber usage in 2019 was financially a wash versus getting a $20k car, insurance, and gas.

Uber has the advantage of not needing to find parking downtown and my wife hates driving.

Google offers both options, though?
It used to offer free - unlimited "high quality" photos, which they have now stopped.

If you pay for storage, you can choose to store original quality images in the first place, and delete them from device

>Connect it, update the firmware, disconnect it.

If your original intent of having it air-gapped in the first place was for privacy and security then doing what you said would be like saying:

What's sad is that he's proposing to stop password reuse and replace it with a more complicated password reuse, with the involvement of a third party.
Fasting... in fact, if you simply stick to just one simple rule which is, eat ONLY when you become hungry, you will reap rewards. Hint: Not everyone needs 3 meals a day.

In order to this, you need to become aware of your body and mind. And for this, you need to learn Meditation which is simply a practice of mindfulness for a set period of time.
Are you seriously comparing systemd with some of the worst crimes against humanity ever?

If so please look in the mirror. If not serious and just jokingly, please consider how you got to a place where you thought that was a rational and decent thing to do.
This is not a bug. This is irresponsible behaviour on the side of Tesla, providing hardware that is so open to abuse. With potential effects to the grid as well.
> to wit, most people secretly enjoy their problems and suffering. I remember remarking to friends back in high school, in re: "going steady", that it seems like people are less interested in healthy relationships than in finding the kind of pain they favor.

You're right, but while what's going on in threads like this one and others like it shares many similarities with that, I think it plays a minor role. My estimate of what "it" is, is simply: the human ego - the result of millions of years of crude evolution, forced to live in a world for which it has not yet developed appropriate behaviors, likely in no small part to the fact that our technical and humanitarian capabilities have largely brought evolution, biological at least, to a standstill. Our scientists and industrialists have transported us into the future on a physical level, but from an intellectual and spiritual perspective, we are still cavemen.

I agree with all your other ideas, and could add many of my own.

It's rare to encounter anyone who can see outside this bubble, but also possesses a rational mind. Or....an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out, which is typically what my experience has been in religious and spiritual communities.

Unfortunately neither of us have contact information, some day it would be nice to talk with someone else who sees the same things I do, or something reasonably similar. At the very least it would be enjoyable, and who knows, maybe something useful could even come out of it. Surely there must be others out there somewhere.
FWIW, Greenwave et. al. is one of the areas where I think automation might be more compelling (than in normal terrestrial farming) mostly because you're not (directly) competing with human farm labor.
Marketing and advertisement are two different things
Speaking as faculty myself, the only job advice that you should listen to from an academic is how to get a job in academia. Even the ones that had a job in industry prior to their academic job have a reason for preferring their academic job. Their firsthand knowledge of the industry is stale at best, and their current information is all hearsay.

If you want to get a job in industry, you need to get advice from alumni that have (recently) gotten a job in the industry you are interested in.
