I am a hardworking and open-minded junior developer who is passionate about solving complex problems, open source software, and developing elegant, useful software. I am currently learning JavaScript and completing a nano-degree in Data Analytics.

I am very interested in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, biotechnology, procedural generation, and DeFi.

I am seeking remote work at an organisation where I can contribute, grow my skills, and gain more commercial experience.
In a nutshell, yes.

But it's for our own health. For the public welfare.

In this time of pandemic crisis strong measures are called for.

I've got Gigaclear internet - they don't block any of the sites that the high court demand big ISPs do and don't seem to send threatening DMCA letters either. We pay £50pm for symmetrical gigabit and it's great.
I still don't understand how a watch with declared battery life of 18 hours is considered acceptable, or even supposed to exist in 2021. Any competitor offers at least 5x of such an essential parameter for a wearable.

Necessary edit: don't get me wrong, I understand how useful or good it can be feature-wise, but this is still a huge dealbreaker.
They did at some point.

> Gab suspended the account belonging to Robert Gregory Bowers, the man charged with killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue last month, shortly after the attack. The site said it backed up all user data for that account and notified the FBI.

Not saying they should/shouldn't; just that coming at it from this angel is only going to cause more problems.

I'm personally not a fan of Gab, and their claims on freedom of speech have, in my opinion, been way over blown. Plenty of colloquial evidence of people having been banned/blocked for posting, albeit tasteless, anti-Trump or anti-Christian content.

However, I do agree that Congress does, in general, requests too much from to many. There's a middle ground, somewhere, where Gab could have offered to cooperate, while still maintaining their stance.
> How the hell do you outspend the federal government?

Veey easily if you are a big corp and its an existential threat; the DoJ has lots of funding, sure, but also lots of competing priorities.

The only reporting I’ve seen on this dates back to April 2021, and the first comment on the tweet says the video dates to then as well. And that this wasn’t or hasn’t yet been taken up. Is it actually going to happen?

Maybe because every other car manufacturer calls it "cruise control" and not "full self driving autopilot"?
We just did a 1,500 mile round-trip journey to visit family. Because of the Tesla stuff, I was casually aware of roadside emergency vehicles moreso than usual. We passed 28 police/fire/emergency vehicles that were next to our travel lane.

I saw a number of Tesla vehicles on the road as well, each passing these same emergency vehicles, but not always in the same lane.

By this point, there must be 1M+ incidents of Tesla vehicles passing roadside emergency vehicles in an adjacent lane.

12 crashes is 12 crashes too many, statistically speaking, but it's also a tiny tiny percentage of the total number of cases.

IMO, it is good that there is federal investigation into this. My main concern is that is seems our government agencies at large are not very good when it comes to properly understanding anything technology related, or making relevant decisions/rulings/etc. on these kinds of things.
Graal Python is really fast too, but I'm not sure how it plays with C extensions.
I mean, he’s using his first amendment rights. That’s the point. What does his prior comments have to do with this?
It does not. Podman relies on kernel features that are not implemented in the WSL compatibility layer.
is there a link to a sample bug report. Curious how those bugs are filed.
"I'm sorry, but how can you form an opinion so quickly?"

It doesn't really matter. They're stationary objects; there's absolutely no reason, good or bad, for the algorithm to determine that the correct trajectory change is into the stationary object.

Humans crash into stationary objects because they're lacking attention almost 100% of the time, whether it's because they're half asleep, drunk, texting, or distracted by just about anything else. Autopilot shouldn't have this issue, so there's no reason for it to fail to recognize the obstacles unless it's been poorly trained, and there's absolutely no reason for it to recognize an obstacle as a valid path or destination.
Your content on vis.social is pretty good! You could mirror that account on a self-hosted onion instance.
I wasn't talking in terms of some vague "conservative," whatever that means in this age of failed coups led by, participated in, and defended by self-described conservatives in positions of power and influence.

There are things that lead to disasters and revolutions. There are differing circumstances that lead to better or worse outcomes in these situations. Whatever ideological lens goes in front of that is not my concern or business as long as its aims are pro-social and inclusive. I care about good outcomes, who experiences them, and who doesn't.
>that Facebook and Twitter should not be forced to support insurrection and violence masquerading as free speech.

Where is "force" coming into this other than various government demands and threats?
According to the OECD [1],France has an effective average corporate tax rate of 29.4% while Ireland has a 12.4% one. France has one of the highest in the OECD and Ireland one of the lowest. Unless you are arguing that Ireland is indeed effectively a tax haven, I don't see the eye opener.

You could say the same about airplane autopilots, but they have an amazing safety record.
What is the difference between downloading and running a bash script vs. downloading and running a binary or a Docker image?

Surely, when downloading a piece of software from a (quasi?) trusted source, no developer is going to read all the lines of source code before running it. And if that's the case, how is downloading and running an .sh from the same source any different?
This is the main reason I'd choose Zen or IDNet instead of A&A if/when I move to an area where I can only get BT/OR. Bandwidth quotas have no place in $currentyear since it costs them basically zero.
Re comparison between Helsinki and other nordic cities, I was curious and looked up some numbers:

For Helsinki I think the closest peer is Stockholm.
Here are comparisons of CoL and PPP GDP between Helsinki/stockholm and finland/sweden (spoiler: helsinki wins on CoL, sweden as a whole has higher average ppp gdp, probably accounted by higher urbanization on the country level). Both differences are small.

The poor statistics of this comment aside, if I drove into 12 emergency vehicles in a year, I can assure you I would also be investigated.
Ruby is not "simpler than Python".
I fully agree! The libraries of Oslo use Libby for digital non-Norwegian audiobooks, e-books and comics, and the user experience is light years ahead of the one they use for Norwegian content.

I initially didn’t know about the web interface, and was pleasantly surprised to find it has feature parity with the app.
I find in America too I run into people who are casually ok with authoritarian ideas. I don't know why that is, or if it's more or less common now.

I suspect this issue extends far outside Australia and the US though.
I think this is a neat idea. There's a big push towards venture debt and this nicely correlates as the equivalent option for early liquidity. Given the right terms, I'm sure both sides would be willing to participate.

Eh, I also hate it when people have differing opinions to myself. Someone should really do something about this.
While I don't see English becoming official it's very true Swedes are proficient in English. At least in tech you are pretty much required to be able to switch to English if anyone non-Swedish joins a meeting.

Outside of work I haven't really met anyone native below the age of 50 who can't communicate in English. That said we are doing an awful job at making it easier to immigrants to learn Swedish, as soon as any Swedish diffuclty is detected a lot of us auto-switch to English.

This seeks accurate. The rise of totalitarianism and fascism worldwide seems to largely be the responsibility of Murdoch, Putin, and some American billionaires (among others, I’m sure). For Australia, though, it seems that Murdoch’s fascist influence outweighs all others.
Also from that ecosystem, buildah.

I started using buildah to build container images in CI jobs because then the job can run in an unprivileged container, unlike docker.

At the time I only knew of kaniko that could do this but I preferred buildah for a number of reasons.

Buildah is really awesome at multi stage builds because you can use it from bash.
This sort of request is the nice way of saying that a subpoena is forthcoming, so don't you dare lose anything. If, in a month or two, the subpoena comes they can't respond with "oops! We had no idea we were supposed to keep those documents."
We cant let our guard down. its not a nuclear plant reactor core yet, but the moment we let our guard down creates an opening for the Soviets to drop a rod of Uranium-235 into the ice cream machine and then who's laughing? not mcdonalds customers that's for sure.
Tesla is already putting a lot of resources into improving Autopilot and FSD. I'm not sure how regulators are going to help that process, and I think there are a couple possible pitfalls:

(1) Will they take relative risk into account? If the car sometimes crashes but less often than humans, will that be sufficient, or considered a flaw because it's not perfect and regulators hate looking bad?

(2) Will they take progress into account? If the car drives worse than humans but its accident rate drops 10% per year, then after some number of years we'll accumulate fewer total accidents than if we hadn't allowed progress to continue. That's important because progress won't continue without lots of cars on the road using Autopilot and FSD betas.
What It Takes to Build the World’s Largest AI4Good Python Library
The entire conservative war against Big Tech is about fake "censorship" (which is actually Free Speech by the private network) and they want to change laws and use the courts to force Facebook and Twitter to allow any content they want to post, including insurrectionist content.

This entire debate is about making private networks such as Facebook into "public/government spaces", thus meaning the Bill Of Rights would apply to a private company (an outrageously anti-Constitutional concept) and it would count as government censorship for Twitter to ban an insurrectionist like Trump.
You should email the mods. They're very nice, and will take the time to explain the reason some item fell off the front page.

Sometimes it's because a lot of people (not mods) flagged it; sometimes it's because the flame war detector is tripped and a mod may choose not to reset it. They'll tell you.
Ubiquiti, their UDM Pro, uses Podman to manage contains running configuration webapps for their router. Kinda cool :)
ICE efficiency can absolutely be improved. The question is if it's worth it. EVs are already better, even assuming zero renewables on the grid (which obviously isn't the case), and get better each year as more renewables come online at an ever increasing pace.

We can either continue on the current path (which is certainly the path of least resistance), or we can pivot and make a massive investment in building out a CNG distribution system (not to mention all the R&D and production cost that would go into swapping out any significant percentage of the current vehicles on the road).

We need to convert the grid away from fossil fuels anyway. If we're doing that already, why take on the extra work of building out a consumer-facing CNG infrastructure?

I think CNG (and, for that matter, hydrogen) makes a ton of sense in certain circumstances. Mass transit fleets, truck depots, etc
There are a few patterns that TS simply cannot or is too painful to handle. I still have no idea how to define a class the old way with prototypes in Typescript, which I really only discovered when I ran into some edge cases around how static members and methods in the new class syntax were typed.

You also lose the "type out code really quickly without thinking too hard about it" and the thrill of wondering if it'll work when you load the page.

I tried gab, briefly; pissed folks there off by explaining (too plainly) that a "foot job" is different from a pedicure.

anyone want to bet Gab's internal operations haven't been penetrated and monitored by several antagonistic parties since shortly after their inception? With all respect to their efforts, I looked at some of the code they posted, and didn't see anything to indicate they'll have much luck protecting their operations against the high grade, ideologically motivated opposition they've drawn.
As a practical matter, we cannot ignore the effect of technology on speech. To wit, what I see going on are the production of more and more powerful self-sustaining nuclear reactions of ignorance. The nuclear fission analogy is apt, because it requires a certain level of "critical mass" for any idea to catch on. Technology accelerates greatly the rate at which like-minded people can accumulate in the same, dense space; the neutrons are likes and comments; the explosion is rage and violence.

Technology has had this problem for a long time - the yellow newspapers of the 18th century arguably started it; the phenomena of toxic radio personalities began immediately after radio was invented. Goebbel's movie propaganda was a critical part of Hitler's rise to power.

The internet, and platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Gab, 4chan, take this to a whole new level. They are the ultra-centerfuges of online discourse, distilling and concentrating the extremes of human discourse into a dense, self-sustaining mass of negativity.

And yet we generally don't get an equal and opposite mass of positivity. I believe the central reason is that humans are super biased to address human negativity, rightly judging it to be the greatest threat at small scale, but wrongly judging it at scale. For example, the 9/11 attacks killed ~2,000 people. Car accidents in the US in 2001 killed ~30,000 people. But one event was rooted in negativity - hatred, rage - and the other was not. So one got trillions applied to it's solution, and the other got nothing.

In a worldwide search of 7B people, I believe you can find a self-sustaining mass of hatred on every side of every topic.

We may need a modification to the free speech law in the presence of a sea-change in speech technology. Perhaps "slow speech" (offline, or online and decentralized) should remain perfectly free, but "fast speech" (online and centralized) should be censored - to defuse any given critical mass that threatens to explode into hatred and rage.

I think it would also be useful to enforce a convention that differentiates between speech and paid-for speech. In this way we can more accurately identify who is speaking as a form of expression, and who is speaking as a means to an economic end. The former should be protected from censorship, and the latter should not.
Conspiring to overthrow the government is a national pastime in these "13 colonies".

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Just because the causes have not been enumerated lucidly or coherently doesn't mean that there's not two different peoples in the USA who would like to dissolve the political bands connecting them to one another.

I still enjoy writing Ruby, and while I consider myself a rather rudimentary programmer, I do regular exercises to maintain my skill in Ruby so that I can use it to get things done. For many years, Perl was my go-to language for getting things done, and Ruby has fully supplanted that. For some of the things I used to reach for Ruby to do, I now use Go, but for the most part it's now all Ruby.

One of the things I love about Ruby is that you can do very powerful things with minimal code, while still having it be understandable. The way metaprogramming works in particular is fantastic. I also like that Ruby provides an escape hatch to do horrible but necessary things (backticks), which lets me utilize existing hacky scripts and build upon them, without needing to rewrite everything to include it.
Fines are only punishments for poor people (or companies, in this case).

Of course, in most rulings it's a fine in addition to the company changing their ways; it's not like the fine means they can keep doing that which they were fined for.
The company I work for re-implemented out entire platform with Ruby on Rails. Even though it's not super new, everyone has really fallen in love with ruby. The gem ecosystem and the community are great. Ruby is an absolute joy to program in.
Doesn't Canada have the same problem, only centering around freedom of speech and its suppression?

In my country, Canadians used to be a stereotype for tough, independent minded people.
Unfortunately people have stopped discussing free speech and our rights around speech on fist principles and have thoroughly subsumed them to tribal interests.

Free speech is good for antifa, bad for pboys. Free speech is good for pboys but bad for antifa.

They are both groups of hoodlums and both have the same rights to free speech, but people will want whoever they agree with more to enjoy it and those they agree with less to not enjoy the rights.

Torba is the cofounder and CEO of gab, that’s about what you’d expect.
I did think of clarifying that the window is mostly large enough for AI dungeon to work. Though my understanding is that they do hit it if you go long enough, and the result is, well, exactly what you'd expect from that.

I did play with AI dungeon, and I would say the analogy to a dream is even deeper than it may appear at first, because I found that lucid dreaming techniques basically work on it, which is bizarrely impressive. I would characterize a lot of what one does in lucid dreaming (or, at least, what I do) is basically "expectations management"; if you can learn to expect something to happen in a dream, it frequently does. Not necessarily exactly what you "expected", but it will have a very significant influence. Correspondingly, it is possible (and indeed easy) to basically lead the AI along by using your text prompts to expect things to happen, and in a very dreamlike fashion, while that doesn't mean the exact thing you "expected" will be what the AI produces, it can clearly have very very significant impact on the result.

I should warn you this sort of removes the magic from AI Dungeon as an experience though... I have to consciously "let" it drive the story because it's pretty easy to exert much more control than you're "supposed" to have, when you know how to look behind the curtain.

Tyler believes what he believes, and would be trying to do what he's trying to do even if no one agreed with him. I've known a lot of people who have worked at Mercatus over the years, and that has been true of all of them (and, surprisingly to many, they're not all libertarian -- Mercatus has funded a lot of people and projects for stuff that doesn't reflect Koch views). Tyler himself is definitely not perfectly aligned with the Kochs' views on things, but he is very effective, which is why he's the president at Mercatus.

The conspiracist right's complex over Soros and the conspiracist left's complex over the Kochs are two sides of the same coin, with their own terrible book-length screeds to match.
