It doesn't remember them, it is frustrating.

As a legacy free GApps user it is even more confusing because the admin page gives me an option to default to higher quality video but that doesn't do anything.
Oh for sure. I completely agree, and think something should be done legislatively about it (I can’t give “informed consent” when I have to use Zoom for school (for example)). I was just pointing out a fact regarding the US and these types of contracts.
It's going to be quite a reality shock when people realize their salaries were kept high _because_ their jobs weren't open to remote workers.

After reading the comments here and on Twitter, it seems like many people had the same experience of Dan taking a personal interest in their work, career and projects.

It was impressive how he could have such a connection with so many people and remember details. The first time I met him was at the OSSummit in LA 2017 where he was presenting the CNCF Landscape in a small side-room. I asked him how to get a project listed and he helped me get openfaas on there and approved the pull request. After that he always seemed to have time for me and helped me in my career.

This is such a shocking and great loss for our community, he was too young.
then it seems we ran out of things to talk about :)
Think how many instances of someone's word vs the police there have been. It did not 'work' very well. Mobile phone video has changed some things for the better.
This sounds like an MTU issue. TCP takes care of mere (eg probabilistic) packet loss ok. MTU issues have actually crept back up because TLS exacerbates any underlying MTU problems. IPv6 doubly so (when any hops - especially yours - don’t follow path MTU detection requirements).
"You know what people use vo.codes for? Memes. That's it."

Not really. Browsing the dark corners on 4chan and reddit, you'll often find people posting pictures of real people and asking if someone can put them into a deepfake.
Not sure if reference to Storage Wars or not.
They are based in Budapest / San Francisco. Budapest lies in Hungary, so if they don't block entire EU the GDPR applies. Its possible they block entire EU (I did not verify) but it would be weird given they are partly based within EU.
Is that really the case with academic writing? Viewing a paper as a whole I tend to think that the abstract and intro more or less map to (1) and (2) from your quotation.

Abstract: Briefly describe why the audience cares, what you did, and what the results were so that they know whether they should read more or move on to something else.

Intro: Same as abstract but in more depth and with an emphasis on helping the reader decide if the meat of the paper is worthwhile for them.

Nearly every other section: Specifics vary by field, but there will generally be an argument from foundations as you describe, and elements which don't fit naturally in the flow of that argument are given their own headers (certain experimental details, foundational algorithmic appendices, ...)
How Readup Knows Whether or Not You've Read an Article
The type of person who will claim that has already been claiming 'false flag' or 'fake news' anyways.

If someone has confirmation bias, they're still going to find ways to call it fake with or without deep fake tech.
If it saves you a FTE or two from managing your own infrastructure, there is a lot of headroom before it's a losing proposition.

Which is what I think the OP misses discussing in as much detail as they could with AWS -- are there ways AWS is saving some customers developer/ops staff time over the cheaper alternatives? Cause that is often more expensive than the resources themselves. Could just be "because that's what we're familiar with" (and that's not illegitimate as cost savings), but could be actually better dashboard UIs, APIs, integrations, whatever.

[I am currently investigating heroku for our low-traffic tiny-team app, after we had our sysadmin/devops position eliminated. The performance characteristics are surprising me negatively (I can't figure out how anyone gets by with a `standard` instead of `performance` dyno, even for a small low-traffic app; currently writing up my findings for public consumption), but the value of the management they are doing so we don't have to is meeting and exceeding my expectations. (We currently manage our own AWS resources directly, so I know what it is we can't do sustainably anymore with the eliminated position, and the value we're getting from not having to do it).]
> It's obvious that GP doesn't have a problem with Chinese persons, but with the Chinese government and regime.

Not really; the boycott of Chinese goods is very much targeted at Chinese people and not so much the Chinese government.

Note that godelmachine hasn't made a criticism of the CCP at all; he's criticizing a pen company for being Chinese. On the assumption that that's not really what godelmachine thinks is wrong with Baoke, how would they respond to make him feel better about interacting with them?

So...uh... whereabouts is that exactly? Asking for a friend.
They might have good cause, but that doesn't mean they'll win in court.

As I said in many of the threads on this topic, I think the RIAA's letter is in good faith, and it's not plausible to get damages from them, but they could still lose on the underlying issue in court.
Interesting, reminds me of the German "Tatort" which has been running for millennia. I'll definitely check out Broadchurch and see if I can find something for Nordic shows too. Thanks!
What won the cold war was the West's consumer industrial base. Not the military industrial complex, and certainly not the incompetent people at the CIA with their cunning plans.
My Thoughts on Monorepo
That's fair. Perhaps we can revisit this in a future thread after reading the book :)
I'm not sure if this is directed at me or the media.

If it's at me, I could just as well be building anything else. I find this technology fascinating, and I see an almost magical future ahead where we can tweak sensory input and play it like an instrument.

It's the closest we've come to building our dreams. The possibility of the The Matrix made more real, and bent to our own desires.

This stuff is going to sink Hollywood and replace it with an improvement at least an order of magnitude more imaginative.

So it's not that I'm letting personal interest or profit motives cloud my judgment. I think this is truly revolutionary, and I don't understand why others don't see the same glittering and fantastical future.

They're too afraid of the demons to build the cool thing.
My first blog post. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Hello there,

I am a big movie buff and I was growing frustrated of getting the same recommendations again and again. I have been working on this idea of a more accurate movie recommendation system for 3 years based on attributes (Plot, Mood...).

Usually recommendation systems generate suggestions based on all the movies liked by the user, but my intuition is that a person likes different types of movies (e.g. no-brainer movies and film d'auteur). So I believe the recommendations would be more accurate if we generate them at the subgroup level.

Many time I hit my head against the wall and I feel relieved, but, at the same time, exhausted of working alone on this project. Even more so as I have new challenges (marketing the idea, creating a community...).

The service has been launched recently here: https://www.tastoid.com/

I was wondering if you could try it and share your feedback.

The good news is that you can import all your IMDb, Criticker, Trakt and Letterboxd, once you subscribed and get your personalized recommendations right away, short link: https://www.tastoid.com/user/movie-suggestions/ or https://www.tastoid.com/user/tv-suggestions/

If you'd like to get personalized suggestions:
1. Sign up, link https://www.tastoid.com/account/signup/ 2. Import your ratings or rate/like at least 3 movies above 4 stars 3. Go in the Recommendations page and refresh after a few seconds and tada!

Another possibility without subscribing:

- Find similar content: Enter the title of your favorite movies/TV shows to get recommendations, short link https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/similar/ or https://www.tastoid.com/search/tv/similar/

- Search movies by mood and streaming provider: Go in the Explore Page and select some filters in the right (e.g. Captivating Chases and Races, link: https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/?page=1&Mood=Captivati...)

- Describe in your own words any aspect of the content you are after in the search bar (i.e. "nostalgic coming-of-age movie teenagers 60s" or "eastwood in a western", link https://www.tastoid.com/search/movies/?page=1&search_multi_m...)

I'm a Product Designer at GitLab and I appreciate your feedback.

We are well aware of the advantages that Gerrit has over GitLab and how these are emphasized when teams migrate to GitLab. We are working on improvements that will help mitigate this. Specifically, targeting your points:

1. We're discussing ability to comment on commit messages: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/19691
2. From version 13.2 you can opt to show one file at a time, in your user preferences: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/222790. We have also listed a number of improvements to this feature in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/516.

Could you expand on point 3.b? If the commented line hasn't changed from version A to B, you should be seeing the comment in version B. Or maybe you're referring to something else?
I saw a great quote recently that said something like “Everyone loves work from home until you lose a deal to the competition that turned up to your customer in person.” There’s an element of truth to this.

Best advice I’ve heard is to say the draw for living in a city may go away but you need to be close. Living in the middle of nowhere isn’t going to look like such a great idea when people start gathering together again. Maybe not as much as before, but it will still happen. For these reasons I see why the suburbs are seeing a real estate boom in many areas. I’m much less sure about the long term move to places much further away from the cities.
Yup. Couldn't read much of the article, but this is me.

I was in SF because employers demanded it, because investors demanded it. Now my company is not only allowing Bay Area employees to leave the state, but hiring remotely. Hell yeah, I'm gone.
The key is to follow up. It is not about which present you get them. No amount of Raspberry Pis or Lego MindStorms are useful if you are not willing to spend time to guide her through it. Interest and passion is only helpful if there is nothing else. Children now have iPads and countless sources of entertainment/distraction. A Raspberry Pi to a Gen Z kid is not the same as an Apple II from your childhood to you.
So you're FAQ says "Therefore, we will be offering our premium version in just a few weeks.", so why not wait till then before launching?

The Veyron definitely was a production car if you had the money at the time.

As a wider point, the original Veyron had all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a mercedes S-class (for example), as opposed to being a stripped down racer.
It will be much more difficult to do deepfakes of that sort. Doing a good deepfake requires lots of training data. We might be able to get away with less training data a the tech progresses, but that is one area that will probably be most difficult to make progress in.
Lustre provides incredibly reliable product recommendations to help people choose what to buy. One of the most critical components in our system is the knowledge graph that processes our scraped data and transforms it into highly structured and contextualized input to our neural net.
We are hiring software engineers for our knowledge graph. Some examples of the type of tasks you'll be doing:

* Automatically process massive amounts of structured data.

* Understand the context of the information to create useful connections to aid in predicting the best products.

* Research and implement new traversals of our knowledge graph to gain more leverage from our data.

* Communicate with the machine learning team to get them the data they need for improving recommendations.

* Keep an eye out for new technologies and data sources that can automate tasks or improve the quality of our data.

* Implement API routes for serving knowledge graph data to the frontend.

* Write and maintain thorough unit and integration tests.

An ideal candidate will:

* Have experience with graph database technology (or a willingness to learn)

* Be a capable problem solver who enjoys identifying business problems you can solve with thoughtful engineering

* Have 4+ years experience building out backend services (bonus points for ops knowledge).

* Enjoy digging through data to solve problems and find new optimizations.

* Have strong communication skills - this role will work with both the product & ML teams to understand their problems/goals

In 1978 California passed the ill-conceived Proposition 13 which encourages people to keep houses rather than sell them through lower tax rates for longer ownership.

California has almost 40M residents and Oregon has a bit over 4M, even a fraction of those 40M going north to Oregon is going to overload the housing market there.
Europe has been really slow giving out fines. And even those fines are often less than a slap on the wrist. In France Google got fined $57mln for breach of GDPR. That's what Google makes in 3 hours.
Deep fake is photoshop for video and audio. Alarmists are going to opine the many ways it will cause the sky to fall but life will continue.
Isn’t that because there are regulations that say those provisions aren’t allowed (whether directly or indirectly)? The US doesn’t really have such laws.
Suppose a programmer saw blood in their stool. Is there a fairly high likelihood that it's due to hemorrhoids rather than cancer?

Obviously, they should get checked anyway. But I was curious if there is usually a benign explanation for the blood.
There are people still driving 65 Mustangs.

In US public policy we are the kings of the Grandfather Clause. Every model of ICE vehicle known for drivetrain longevity will suddenly become coveted by the road warrior class, and that 0.1% of the population will compete over them for the next 20 years while peak mileage and recharge speed of all-electrics goes up.

My sedan has better handling than the roadster I had as a young man. When I tried to relive that in my 30's, it didn't pan out. In the sedan, I won't die instantly in a t-bone or any accident with a truck. Antilock brakes are life.

Things change and antique vehicles become quainter by the year, and at some point you'll have a brief period of mourning and switch without another fuss. But you have time for it to happen organically.

Or, hybrid vehicles will stay legal for a long time, and you will just own one of those and leave the rest of us alone.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to add a way to sign a video using keys stored in a phone's enclave, surely Apple and Google are capable of doing so.
Gps has no calibration process which would affect this in any way.
It happens nearly all the time. We use very little DSL bandwidth but are quite rural (miles from primary telephone infrastructure)
I think you’re talking about SPAs in specific. Many have race conditions in frontend code that are not revealed on fast connections or when all resources are loaded with the same speed/consistency. Open the developer console next time it happens, I bet you’ll find a “foo is not a function” or similar error caused by something not having init yet and the code not properly awaiting it. If an SPA core loop errors out, load will be halted or even a previously loaded or partially loaded page will become blank or partially so. Refreshing it will load already retrieved resources from cache and often “fixes” the problem.
> Except that you already agreed to this behaviour when you signed up.

I miss the days when burying awful things that nobody would willingly accept in the fine print (which few people read and most people have a hard time understanding) was something we all understood to be immoral, to the point that it was a cartoon trope as something the Devil would do.
South and East Bay only have ~10 days a year of 95+. You make it sound like Texas.
