This stuff is so much worse than the article lets on.

The worst fake jobs are money mule scams, meaning that these poor job seeking individuals will likely run around town "doing work" and end up $2k - $20k in the hole, depending on how eager they are.

Manager sends them a check to deposit, then asks them to take care of some payments. This can be standard ("you'll be running payroll, we are a small company so you can just do it from your account"), or they can try to make it seem small ("I need to send some iTunes gift cards to these top customers as a thank you, you can take the leftovers as a bonus because you've been doing great").

The checks don't bounce for a few days, even a few weeks sometimes, so the confidence grows and they keep doing more. Then like clockwork the money they deposited into their account disappears but at this point they've spent thousands and have no recourse to get it back (and now they are effectively burned from using banking)
The main issue is not the app review process, but the missing alternatives to the App Store on iPhones, and I think arguing about more just App Store rules is not the solution, but a distraction to our eroding right to control our own devices.
The best text is the comments. That's a search engine worthy of frequent use.
Did anybody ever (have to) discuss "responsibility/accountability" about getting back to work in an office?

Meaning: if my boss would tell me "come back to work at the office" and I would reply "nah, I'm scared that I might get infected" but then my boss would basically in/directly force me to, wouldn't my boss/company become responsible/accountable for me getting ill (if I and maybe some of my colleagues would then get ill)?

I admit that it might then become a quite complex situation (e.g. demonstrate through tracing that the spread occurred inthe office, what were the consequences, etc...), but probably a boss/company should think twice about pushing its employees to go back to the office, or not?
IDK - I don't think too many students get into the computing field because they are power hungry. If they gain a lot of power because they "release the next big X" then that's a byproduct and not the motivation.
Yes. Register and then add project. Project description can be in MarkDown. Website is all open source just in case if you don't trust the user security.
>Screened apps

Screened, primarily to be in agreement with Apple's business interests. The user's concerns (privacy, functionality, avoiding other types of malware) are given far less (inadequate) consideration. Worse, they are lulled into a false sense of security due to such memes.
The headline makes it seem like he's saying there will be no more elections ever.

But in context he's saying there will not be a do-over election.
An App Store fix proposal that will make everybody happy
That's where the simplifying engines come in. Grab the crap content, simplify the DOM to a bog-simple standard document format, and render that to the reader. Readability, Archive.org, Archive.is, Outline.com, beta.trimread.com, etc., are examples of these in various forms. Very nearly always their rendering is preferred to the original.

And all that fragile, brittle content out there will eventually break. The question is when compatability is lost, and in the name of what.

Keep in mind that I'm specifically targeting text and textually-oriented document content. The modern Web can be considered generally as having four principle modes, three ofwhich I'd treat separately: documents, as described, commerce (probably hived into a dedicated application), media (likewise), and apps (which want a VM engine, e.g., Chromium).

A surprisingly large set of apps, and certainly many significant ones, are principally document-and-discussion engines, for which lack of an intrinsic model within the document markup and client presentation is the raison d'etre of those apps. Either having a paired discussion platform, or integrating discussion into the browser itself, would address much of this.

Other content elements which have become significant online include both advertising and DRM. These have been mistakes.

> we're gonna throw out the freedom to play with non-cheating strangers

Freedom? No. Opportunity? Maybe. I think communities would arise to fill the demand though. Pseudo-anonymous reputation systems tied to matchmaking could fill the roll. I have a group of pseudo-anonymous friends/acquaintances I frequently play games with online. None of us cheat and if any of us did, we'd stop playing with them. We don't need big brother. We don't need technical solutions to social problems.

I agree with this. Changes for Deep learning models is so fast there is no point maintaining a super reusable code.
Sure. Microservices are a sometimes food. Microservices help you do heterogeneous deployment, scaling, and even design. There are some downsides so if you don't need it, don't do it.

The problem I see with some of the backlash against it is that the complaints are often circular and inconsistent. The hardest part is writing a decoupled codebase, not the fixture of running part of the code in a service wrapper. Proponent of monoliths will claim its easier to build a monolith and you can organize your code too, but this is a contradiction. Either you're doing the hard decoupling work properly or you're simplifying things by keeping them coupled. To say you can do both at the same time is disingenuous.

But that said, both styles have their pros and cons and they have their place.

Where are you seeing a requirement to pre-moderate?
Only if you are a filthy causal, specific brand vertically integrated sd cards are so 2019.

So what you need to do, if you are serious about this micro server business, is buy a 1.5TB optane 905p and slot it into a pcie x4 to m.2 adapter. From there you will need a M.2 nvme to usb converter(make sure you don't get a SATA-only one). I like to strip out the inside of a tuff nano, but any will do. Now that you have your drive basics setup, you will need a type c to type a usb cable so that you can plug this into a Pi4. You could use the usb c port on the Pi4, but then how will you power the pi4, dummie? From there you will have to write a small driver that translates sd protocol commands to usb mass storage commands. Now get some wires and solder the Pi4's GPIO pins (the ones you used as I/O for your driver) to the micro sd pins on the adapter. And that's it, now you have a real SD card that is actually fast enough to run your server from an SDIO adapter! Wasn't that easy? Plus this way you didn't have to give $am$ung or $andisk any of your money.

The article doesn't answer the question.

The conclusion of the article, citing: >If you assume you get an Earth-like planet, our best estimates have enormous uncertainties, but may lead to a total probability in the range of around 1-10%. To really know the answer to this question, however, we’ll need more and better data, and for that, we’ll need to wait for the next generation of astronomical observatories.<

There is no basis for the conclusion "range of around 1-10%". And no references as well.

I don't want to be dismissive, but for me, scientific articles should base conclusions on credible references.

To me this is one of the weakest articles of Ethan, and I was a regular reader.
I don’t think the employer is accountable for infectious diseases that are transmitted in the workplace, given that a minimum safety standard is meet. I have, for example, not heard of any liability concerns with teachers returning to the classroom.

> “We’ll put the changes to a referendum, and I’ll hand over my constitutional powers. But not under pressure or because of the street,” Lukashenko said, in remarks quoted by the official Belta news agency.

> “Yes, I’m not a saint. You know my harsh side. I’m not eternal. But if you drag down the first president you’ll drag down neighbouring countries and all the rest.”

> He also said people could hold parliamentary and presidential elections after the referendum if that was what they wanted.
When the dude has been in power for 26 years, that's somewhat of a distinction without a difference.
> the missing alternatives to the App Store on iPhones

Get an Android phone and use the Play Store (or any of the 3rd party Android stores). The magic of a smartphone isn't only on iPhone and there's nothing you can do on iPhone that you can't do elsewhere.
Sounds like the predators may eventually learn that they're fake:

"it is recommended that the technique be applied periodically, when predation rates are higher, also to avoid predator habituation."

With their bigger brains, perhaps cats and wolves can learn or visually identify discrepancies better than birds.
> My point about ACM pushing garbage content shall remain

Sadly, I think you're right. Not sure if it's an attempt to remain relevant or if the group itself is just waning, but the quality over the past number of years has diminished. It's like they're now just trying to meet minimum word requirements.

> there’s been a lack of the usual nuance and care that I typically expect. That’s mainly expressed through less careful filtering, either of direct content or indirect content.

I wouldn't call those behaviors "socially awkward". Given the time we're in - I think people realize there's little reason to try to save face. In all likelihood, they're trying to be more real about things they're facing because they realize everyone is dealing with a lot of the same shit.

You might also see people reaching out more than they did before (in terms of depth of interaction/complaints - less superficial) because - well - they can't socialize as much with others. They might start socializing with people more intimately than in the past because it's what they have available.

None of the stuff you're saying sounds very... socially awkward. It just sounds more honest...
That seems fine. How many reddit clones have we seen?

For what it's worth, as a hiring manager who hires technical people, but not software engineers, these kinds of side projects can really help folks with a less formal education.

The upside is that if they DO understand it or at the very least learned something interesting or useful while working on the project it will help them a lot in an interview.

Folks who do what you're worried about exist, and they just don't get hired by people who aren't impressed with the shallow use of some new technology. There are also plenty of companies where that person will be fine, not really need to use GPT to do their job, and everyone will be happy anyways :)
Idiomatic K solutions (and from what I hear, J as well) tend to be faster than idiomatic C solutions to the same problems.

It originally seemed like magic to me, but really - there is no magic. It is simpler in K and J to process more things, in more stages, but with completely predictable and very pipelineable operations. The J/K program often does 2 or 4 times as many operations, but has virtually everything prefetched to L1 before it’s needed so it runs as fast or even faster.

CPUs are constantly converging towards the K model (GPUs were always there).
It's a good starting point.
(Edit: I did not downvote, this is a legitimate counterpoint.)

> perfect counterexample is the VW dieselsoftware

This is a great counterexample that inadvertently proves the point because in that case a) the software in question was exactly as delivered by the manufacturer so that b) consumers were able to receive compensation from rich VW for the faulty software.

If the software stack was open, a malfunction could be caused by aftermarket software (think: downloaded from Sourceforge) and therefore consumers would have no real remedy.

I suppose I could have been clearer on what's being assured. There is (obviously) value in being assured that you are buying what the manufacturer intended!
I assume the largest shareholders have the most money. I work for close to min wage; if they raised my wage, the shareholders will get less money off of the work I do.

What I'm trying to get at is that if you already have wealth, you can turn that wealth into more wealth. But people who do not have tens of thousands of dollars a year to "invest", they cannot become wealthy. This is why I say apps like RH or other "investment" apps or the lottery prey on poorer people. They lower the barrier of entry where we spend what little we have on the dream of becoming wealthy, when in reality, it is our wealth being taken from us.
The trick is to talk in terms of communicating information faster than the speed of light. Both relativity and quantum theories agree that there's no communication of information faster than the speed of light. Two wave-functions collapsing to opposite states lightyears away doesn't actually allow two people to communicate in an FTL way.

Responsible and Effective Bugfinding
I mean, there’s a point to be made about how much monopoly power Apple holds, and it’s now clear these questions weren’t asked until now because lawmakers were really sweet on the maker of their shiny iPhone - but this letter ain’t it.

The author is grovelling to the point of it being honestly pitiful. The amount of derogatory references to the web and Android also make it really hard for me not to question the motivation behind this letter.

It’s transparently from an author who built their entire business on the shoulders of a single third party and is now horrified in realising it’s been taken away.

If anything, the lesson to be learned here is that if your business depends exclusively on another company for its survival then it’s not your business.

To the authors point - yes, Apple can change it’s policies whenever it likes, and can use those policies to kill other companies it views as competing with it’s own interests.

This in itself isn’t news. Dropbox got flat out told by Steve Jobs to sell immediately for whatever he felt generous enough to give them or he’d crush them with a competitor. There was a podcast recently wherein someone who sold to Apple (I’m sorry I can’t remember who it was, will try to dig it out and update) got his deal reduced by 25% or so by Steve Jobs in person - after accepting it and flying out to Cupertino just because Jobs could and he wanted to make a point.

This isn’t new information or a new policy, although maybe it’ll be a fairer playing field now that the hornet’s nest has received a good kicking.
I'm not exactly disagreeing, but just thought you might be interested - the last time I was in Warsaw, Poland, there was quite a variety of vegan places.

Guessing based on a huge pile of assumptions, from relatively few observations, I think it's more health motivated than animal welfare given the apparent demographics of the patrons, but I could very easily be wrong.
Can you explain why you are claiming this as a "problem"? There is no reason to think that anyone is qualified to tell others what products they should or shouldn't buy. The idea that people need to be "saved" from making wrong purchasing decisions is abhorrent.

That's the mode of use for ML in most industries -- flagging stuff for follow-up by humans. Basically anything that's not real-time works like this.

Most uses of ML in real-time settings look more like hybrid systems -- a little dusting of ML on top of a whole heap of more traditional mathematical modeling/software engineering.

Outside of a few very niche settings, we're still a long way off from "trusting" ML in any meaningful sense.

Free speech protects your right to not be arrested or otherwise punished by GOVERNMENT institutions for things you say or actions classified as speech. But it does not protect speech that is intended and likely to cause violence or intended as threat or intimidation.

As ruled in Manhattan Community Access Corp et al vs Halleck et al the Supreme Court's CONSERVATIVE majority ruled that: "The Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment prohibits only governmental, not private, abridgment of speech." On this basis, Google has a right to remove or report content to authorities as it chooses: Conservatives decided that free speech protections do not apply to private platforms.

With regards to police enforcement: in Brandenburg v Ohio the Supreme Court held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." Comments advocating for violence and murder ARE NOT PROTECTED FREE SPEECH, per this ruling.

Similarly the ruling of Virginia v Black held that while some forms of hate speech may be protected on their own, that protection ends when the speech is intended to intimidate. To quote: "a state, consistent with the First Amendment, may ban cross burning carried out with the intent to intimidate."

TL;DR: Free speech rights do not protect speech on privately owned platforms, and you can still be arrested for that speech alone if it incites violence or acts to intimidate others.
> But why haven't deer or bunnies, for example, evolved to have white patches on their rear ends

They have. Bunnies famously have distinct white tails that bob up and down as they run.

And some deer have distinct white/dark patches on their backside:

The article conjectures that the function of these is to be a super-salient signal for a predator's visual system, so they attend to the wrong end of the prey in a chase. Maybe tracking the back end gives a degraded cue to the predators prey-motion-model. But the high-contrast patches are hard to ignore, like chaff for radar.

This is probably a different effect than false eyes have on cats, since cats sneak up on prey that aren't looking.

Stumbled upon Atlas Scientific's pH sensor (via an Adafruit tutorial) and was very surprised at the clearness of their datasheets. It's colorful, informative, has clear do's & don'ts.

I'm skeptical. Old memories do fade quite a bit. Anything unimportant is somehow compressed... distilled to its essence... perhaps the equivalent of garbage collection. There is a window of time, say 25 years, and beyond that point things get pretty hazy. At least, that's how it feels to me. I have childhood memories that are so distant and fragmented, they barely exist anymore.
Consciousness comes indirectly into quantum mechanics through the measurement postulate. You have to assume something special about measurement which breaks unitarity. Not all physicist are convinced, but it is the traditional way quantum mechanics is taught (all of the "transition probabilities" are really measurement probabilities). The problem is that you can't tell if your apparatus caused the collapse or if it was you that measured the apparatus that then caused the collapse. And because you can only know that something was "observed" when a conscious physicist makes that final readout you end up with a solipsistic situation where the only thing you can be certain of is that it was that last conscious observer that could have for sure collapsed the wave function. It could be that the collapse happened in the apparatus itself but as far as I know you have no way of telling the difference between it projecting the wave function of the measured system or you projecting the wave function of the apparatus into a pointer state. Basically consciousness sneaks in through the fact that there is no definition of what constitutes a measurement - what makes one physical process a measurement as opposed to all others that are unitary and the only thing you are certain of is that final "conscious" readout should count as measurement.
Granted, that's that case with any machine learning project on a resume. People were using scikit-learn/NLTK for abstracting/simplifying training long before TensorFlow and PyTorch were the new hotness.

Those projects are good things to press in a phone interview.

Not going to happen.

It's a huge issue that observer is interpreted to be something like a person. An observation is a certain kind of interaction that causes the quantum state to collapse. It has nothing to do with consciousness.

Thank you. Yeah, these interviews are painful to listen to. Trump said:

> [Democrat representatives] want $3½ billion for the mail-in votes, universal mail-in ballots. They want $25 billion for the post office. They need that money in order to have the post office work so that it can take these millions and millions of ballots. Now those are just two items [in the bill]; if they don't get there, they can't have mail-in ballots. [A bunch of rambling about failures of mail-in ballots in VA, NJ, etc.]

He seemed to me to be saying that if the Democrats want mail-in ballots, they're going to have to find a way to get this bill passed that would give more funding to the post office. Trump emphasized repeatedly that they're asking for $3.5 billion dollars ("that's a lot of money") for the mail-in ballots.

> our eroding right to control our own devices.

If you want to frame this as an ideological debate over freedom of user choice, instead of a very specific debate about a very specific App Store rule (even though the latter, and not the former, is what the email in the OP is about), then sure: you have the choice to select a device with a tightly-controlled ecosystem. You also have the choice not to. It was your choice to obtain this device, knowing full well that it would be tightly controlled. Or if you didn't know, you also have the right to return the device and no longer use it.
