The most booming business in crypto is the new category of organized crime.

There are a lot of positive or interesting aspects to crypto, but the prevalence of tax evasion, money laundering and grifts of varying scale dominates the conversation. Regulation is inevitable.
These language models are not being utilised very well by tools such as copilot because they are not mapping very many functions from the editor to language model. The more functions you map, the more you get out of it. If Copilot's workings were completely open and configurable, you would find that people collectively can work together to map many functions to the language model. They are capable of far greater wonders with deep integration and collaboration. I have tried to demonstrate this with emacs.

In general I am still working on my self-hosted analytics platform: https://www.usertrack.net

But right now I am taking a short break and working on a free subscription-tracking app (so you can keep track of all your online subscriptions and get notified when they renew), mostly because I really need such a product and the ones that I found are too hard to use.
Amazon should give the appearance of mild opposition to the rerun, then allow it to happen, agreeing to/under the condition of massive government and media oversight, and likely the union will fail to win a second time by at least 15 points.

(There’s a reason companies don’t leave me in charge of their legal strategy efforts, but I suspect it’s much better for Amazon if the rerun happens. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the union is terrified of having a rerun.)
I’ve met hunt-and-peckers who can rival my 90wpm touch-typing (and I use the term loosely - I use all 10 fingers and don’t need to look at the keyboard, but also don’t keep them on the home row nor do I follow any formal typing methodology) . Never underestimate the speed that a lot of practice can give.

Why remote work is a big problem for the economy
In that case, every transaction would not only be visible to everyone on a public ledger, but come with complete identification of all participants. It'd be like having your credit card and bank statements posted on a website. Any embarrassing purchases would be public, and anyone with a large balance would be a target.

And why would you do this? The KYC you're making public is already available to the government, and the on-chain transactions are already public.
Honestly if I had taken a typing class, I would probably have carpel tunnel by now. My hands attack the keyboard at an angle over the left shift/ctrl and right arrow keys. Typists, at least when I was in school, are taught to attack straight up through the ZXC and M,. keys, which keep your wrists at a bad angle.
Any more likely than a gas/diesel fire? I'd imagine most of the fire risk is at the start, when first responders haven't arrived yet. Once they arrive any wildfire risk is minimal because it can be immediately put out. In that respect there probably isn't a big difference between a gas fire that burns for 1hr and a battery fire that burns for 4 days.
It's interesting how closely placed the two center rows are. That seems to invite a spread of the fire. The land looks pretty remote/rural, so I can't imagine space is a constraint. I wonder if there's a technical reason for them to be so close together.
ECUs do both cyclic and event-driven, but typically the software logic is event driven, the communication is cyclic.

There's cyclic communication by sending messages over CAN (if reliability doesn't matter that much) or FlexRay (if reliability matters), so if you examine the network, you'll typically see the same PDUs repeat in a cyclic manner. But an individual ECU will handle the bulk of its logic in an event-driven way. An interrupt will trigger for the incoming CAN frame (and that's an event-driven thing!) but a couple of layers up it will most likely just set a flag for what changed, and it will actually be taken care on a logical level when the relevant task's loop runs next time.
The fire spread to a second pack. You can see in the images that they are laid out in pairs. So two out of 80 burned completely, and we don't know what damage was caused to the others. One at least looks pretty singed.

Since Israelis and pro-zionists have a bad habit of calling every legitimate criticism and boycott of Israel "antisemitic", I and many others suspect these numbers of incidents are inflated due to willful miscategorization.

It seems like an effort is being made to use 1000 social media posts as a reason to create avenues to further shutdown legitimate criticisms.
Part of the issue is that FOSS, libraries, and independendent package managers and their specific repositories have exploded in about every domain. No longer are there a handful of places where software and libraries exist. Pick an ecosystem and there's probably a sub or additional levels of package/library management ecosystems below it. Developers have really bought into grabbing a package for everything and leveraging hundreds and thousands of packages, most of which have limited to no sort of vetting. We've had software complexity growing over the years, but the one benefit in previous years is that it was in fairly concentrated areas where many eyes were often watching. You could somewhat rely on the fact that someone had looked through and approved such additions to a package repo. It's a naive security but there were more professional eyes you could leverage, lowering overall risk.

Not anymore, it's more of this breakneck speed, leverage every package you can to save resources and glue them together without looking at them in detail, because the entire reason you're using them is because you don't have time. It's not all shops, plenty of teams vet or roll their own functionality to avoid this but there's a large world of software out there that just blindly trusts everything down the chain in an era where there should be less trust. Some software shops have never seen a package or library they didn't like and will use even trivial to implement packages (the benefit of your own implementation being you know it's secure and won't change under your feet unless an inside threat makes the change). There's a tradeoff to externalizing costs and tech debt for maintainance you pass on using these systems, the cost being you take on more risk in various forms.

I used Mercurial for versioning and locally backing up my projects, but in the end I ended up migrating everything to git. I did love some parts of Mercurial, but many times the repository went into a corrupted state from which it couldn't be saved (I couldn't add new commits, so I had to recreate the repo and lose all commit history). Overall it feels like nowadays Mercurial is no longer a good or safe choice.
This battery chemistry is self-oxidizing. It doesn't need contact with the air to burn.
I am surprised this doesn’t happen to NPM all the time
No, its more like saying “our star and the planets and most satellites in the solar system are generally spherical due to gravity. I postulate that all stars and planets in the universe are subject to those same forces and will also generally be spherical”. That isn’t a dangerously intolerant idea. We can say that life is unlikely to arise from a solid block of iron, due to what we understand about the atomic properties of iron, the possible chemical reactions, etc. There just isn’t much going on at a basic physics level for it to “do” anything that could likely lead to even the most generous definition of “life”. That isn’t naivete.

It is your kind of fantastical thinking that life somewhere else somehow isn’t subject to the same physics as life here that is naive. It’s not wanting to be bound by boring concepts like chemical reactions, gravity, perceiving your environment in some way, etc. We don’t take people seriously that say that stars in other galaxies are actually the heads of long bright snakes and us thinking they are just boring balls of gas is our “blindspot”.

+1 Sorry you were downvoted for a reasonable position. I would like to predict that most knowledge work will be automated, including understanding business needs and doing designs, coding, and maintenance. However, I think that we will reach the same conclusion with AGI but in ways we can’t predict right now. Just deep learning won’t get us there on its own but that is a different conversation.

It still amazes me when people doubt or underestimate what can happen in future tech.
I knew it was doing that as well (the distributed scraping the article talks about). But I cannot figure out where I read it. Maybe they used to have it somewhere on their site, and now it's gone?

What is strange that people asked for e.g. Amazon.nl support. This isn't implemented as Keepa relies on Amazon (this is their answer in the forums). But if they scrape, why do they still need Amazon?
> I dread to think what kind of shit a company with the funds of google or facebook could pull off

Me too. Sometimes I see these ideas in science fiction. I remember one black mirror episode where a tech company knows more about a suspect than the police. It's really unnerving watching them casually reveal all sorts of information, even the authorities seemed surprised.

Even worse is thinking about the resources governments have and the numberless ways they can abuse these powers.
FBI used 'provocative photos' of female office staff to catch sexual predators
Is there anything the CIA has done in its history that was good for the United States? It seems this agency is doing far more harm to the United States than to protect it. It seems like an agency of lawless lunatics that are accountable to no one thinking they are doing something good but causing enormous damage.
Events are a part of any good service-oriented architecture. They can replace patterns that involve batch-ETLing large amounts of data from system to system--events are usually a smoother way of doing the same. They're usually more resource-efficient and responsive than a poll & cache approach. They can also create a more consistent way to broadcast data, avoiding CAP problems from trying to do multiple writes to different systems, and preventing systems from devolving into anti-patterns where a system from a business domain gets misused as a message bus for another system.

Using events into a processing queue is also a good way to make systems more responsive for end-users when compared to making every operation blocking.

Events are not a good replacement for transactional request/response models of (i.e.,, making an API call.) Some people advocate for a "event sourcing" system to create its own internal domain model using events. I don't think this is a good default, but it really comes down to is what tools you're using an how you're used to using them. Namely, you can't have a web service that writes to a RDMBS and then immediately writes to RabbitMQ and call it a consistent system, because the write to RabbitMQ could fail and the systems downstream would be permanently wrong. So event sourcing is used to resolve this into a single-write into a queue system which then forks out into the systems' own RDMBS and also other systems. However the more "normal" way would be to just write this atomically into the RDBMS and have a second process poll it back out into the queue for downstream systems.

There is a difference between advocating for free software and saying that all non-free software is evil. To compare to the original meaning of "bigotry", there is a difference between talking about how great your religion is and talking about how all other religions are evil.
It happens, unless there's something surprising/unusual to be found that caused it like remnants of oily rag, or empty bottle marked 'molotov cocktail', I assume more time & energy will be spent on 'are the existing racks/containers/etc. enough to contain and isolate fires' (or no they're not, why, we thought they were).

If a phone battery say catches fire it's generally not such a big deal - it's not surrounded by a million other phone batteries, and won't take four days to burn out.
Following that logic nurses delivering babies are also on the same level considering they're supporting the growth of the human race (which causes all the environmental damage)...

I don't mind your question, but I find the answer is undefined.

It's not as if someone somewhere sits down and makes this choice. Tesla charges prices the market wants to pay, at volumes Tesla can manufacture, and tries to minimize its expenses. What happens in the end in terms of profit and loss is subject to literally thousands of variables, not just a change in a battery pack tech.

This is especially the case for an industry that's heavily into R&D and innovation.
I think the whole thing is a hall of mirrors.

On the one hand, the BBC is hardly impartial.

But nationalist fervor has very clearly been stoked by the Chinese government in recent years, and they appear to be on a deliberate collision course.

I this case, I suspect the Chinese government let the trolls loose online to stoke nationalist feeling, and then officially reign them in, to appear reasonable.

It seems to be a new cold war, and both sides are propagandizing their populations, though China appear to me to be more blatant about it.
No but the dollar will be worth as much as a ruble.
I think this is a pretty reductionist argument. Just like the other technologies that you mentioned crypto has some good applications. But it really comes down to a cost-benefit analysis. Easier said than done, sure, but I'm not at all convinced by the "oh well I guess you think ALL tech is bad then" argument.

Then this appears to be false

> something that isn't actually in the legislation

Because "digital asset" is extremely broad and can easily be seen to cover things like video game inventory items.

Is there a specific and detailed definition of "video asset" in the legislation?

I'm not fear-mongering; I'm just a pessimist. My scenarios are “unbelievably unrealistic” and “apocalyptic sci-fi”, respectively, but I wanted to make sure I got an upper bound on the worst-case.

If this was in summer then that would be taking resources away from quickly responding to the hundreds of other callouts they get - I'm not super happy with the idea of volunteers spending their time to babysit a chemical fire from equipment that clearly hasn't been designed for local conditions.

You're right most of the risk is at the start - my anger is directed at a big U.S. tech company landing Victorian firefighters with a babysitting job.

Nobody said there has to be a priority. Why can't we stop both?

Moreover OP comments was not talking about stopping them, but about giving these people a platform.

Despite the damage done by oil companies they are still allowed to spend billions of dollars in marketing, lobbying, etc... Resulting in a much bigger, legalized, platform, while still causing way more damage than ransomware "companies".

Yes, I do. The IRS has slowly gathered power since 1913. Federal taxes were supposed to be short term and temporary, for war levies and such.

I don't know about other countries, but here in Brazil I often hear about the opposite being done, but against common employees.

What happen is that, usually, the employee is not satisfied with the work, pay or just wants to change job descriptions and start applying to interesting positions. If the company advertising the position has any sort of relationship with the current company the employee is working at, it will notify the employee superiors causing serious repercussions internally. Note that none of this is described in any non-compete clauses. Those are unspoken pacts between companies.

I think companies believe that making their lives miserable in the process will reduce the resigning rate, but it only creates a culture of distrust. Because the alternative, making employees lives better, paying better salaries and implementing quality of life programs takes effort and costs money in the short run.

In the long run however, I believe everybody would benefit from a culture of cooperation, not only executives.
