Yes. You're the one bringing up the fact that you're South Korean for some reason. I'm rebutting your comment with more information that actually suits Korea.

I know what you're saying, I'm not sure what being Korean has to do with that. And no, no one said you could not earn money in Korea through fads. What does that have to do with what I wrote?

I'm saying they are most definitely capable of lying, especially in cases where lying grants you a huge boost to future results.

Are you replying to the right comment here?
Shinhan (mentioned in the article) is a pretty big financial conglomerate. Twosome Place (in the second picture) is a well-known luxury coffee chain.

Financial chains in South Korea do not usually do influencer marketing. I would guess that the companies are buying not because of the influencer's reach, but because of the novelty of AI and the quality of the art. Presumably their goal is using the character and derived artwork in more traditional advertisements.

Edit: sanxyin confims that Shinhan used the character in a TV ad. I don't watch TV, so I guess I missed it.
No, it just means that sentience is a poor metric for determining whether we should eat something or not.
I thought Java was once the most popular language before Oracle bought it from Sun Microsystems.
Remember how people used to say that our entertainment was going to become interactive - that movies and TV shows were going to become more like videogames? Well, it's happening, but from the opposite end.
> I think the German system is far preferable to the American system, and many of the religious “extremists” you talk about would like such a system.

I think you're being optimistic.

One, muslim classes in state schools are extremely rare, and those students get dispensation so they can miss those class hours and go to the local mosque for instruction instead. Only that in several cases those mosques were actually teaching rather extremist and violent things. The state tries to build up more "own" muslim classes (in cooperation with muslim organisations).

Two, all those state school run classes are certainly too "mild" for extremists. I mean, the students of evangelical families (and I don't mean protestant, I mean the extreme strains of protestantism that are rampant in southern Germany) certainly send their kids to protestant classes, but at home they teach the opposite in many cases. You cannot reconcile a state school religion class with and "you need to read the bible literally, all those theological stuff at universities is baloney".
Shinto belief ascribes a spirit to otherwise inanimate objects - and more broadly belief in spirits and unity with the external world are much more prevalent throughout the east.
All I want is to send emails out, now its going to get more bloated.
Maybe it's not straightforward, but that doesn't mean opportunities don't exist. This Tesla thing is a perfect example; that particular opportunity only exists because of the relatively new development of Tesla's business model. I'm sure there are other relatively new developments in society and technology that could create similar opportunities.
Then again, Texas wants to use women as baby farms, so maybe Tesla should pull out. And yeah: I mean that literally and as a pun.

Go for it KDL, I really want a better standard for this. Anyone with some dev experience has done the XML => Json => Yaml => “screw it I’ll do my own” cycle.

It’s painful to go through.
I think "West" itself is a broad generalization. Something that is quite old in America is very new from a Roman point of view. So from that point of view, if an American sees a thousand year old temple, that is impressive/authentic. For, say, an Indian, it is impressive too but they have a bunch of those.
Presumably the steer bar is detached somewhat as it turns the front wheel which is sprung? Also, I can imagine that the vibrations also make it tiring to hold. So just like a proper sander can be used without getting tired arms from the shaking.

The problem sadly isn't tech related. It's education. Corporates will market to the masses who are mostly tech ignorant, if not politically and economically ignorant too. So even with alternatives, the power of commercial communication is greater than what non profit are able to afford.

We will have to wait for people to suffer further and further, more will open their eyes to it, until radical resistance settles in people's limbic systems. We are getting close I think, I hope.
The article is about a side-channel attack, where you don't transfer any data, but just observe something (in this case power draw from a wireless charger) to get some information.

In these types of attacks, you don't transfer any actual information, but guess something from observation.

There are more exotic attacks [0][1] which exploit the heat computers generate to exfiltrate data or time power starvation attacks.

Or, to take the canonical Western example, there's been a lot of discussion about the absurd proportions of barbie dolls.
How do we even know, from that article, that this is a computer generated being?
It's way simpler actually.

Functional programming isn't the norm because — while it's extremely good at describing "what things are and how to describe relationships of actions on them" — it sucks at "describing what things do and describing their relationships to each other". Imperative programming has exactly the opposite balance.

I find the former to just be more valuable and applicable in 80% of real world business cases, as well as being easier to reason about.

Entity Relationship Diagrams for example are an extremely unnatural match to FP in my eyes, and they're my prime tool to model requirements engineering. Code in FP isn't structured around entities, it's structured in terms of flow. That's both a bug as well as a feature, depending on what you're working on.

Most of the external, real world out there is impure. External services, internal services, time. Same thing for anything that naturally has side effects.

If I ask an imperative programmer to turn me on three LEDs after each other, they're like: Sure, boss!

for led in range(3): led.turn_on(); time.sleep 1; led.turn_off()

If I ask an FP guy to turn me on three LEDs after each other, first they question whether that's a good idea in the first place and then they're like... "oh, because time is external to our pure little world, first we need a monad." Whoa, get me outta here!

Obviously with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Don't get me wrong, for the cases where it makes sense, I use a purely functional language every day: it's called SQL and it's awesome despite looking like FORTRAN 77. I also really like my occasional functional constructs in manipulating sequences and streams.

But for the heavy lifting? Sure give me something that's as impure and practical as all of the rest of the world out there. I'll be done before the FP connaisseur has managed to adapt her elegant one-liner to that dirty, dirty world out there.
Predictions involve data, analysis of trends, etc.

What people think about the future is based mostly on popular culture and the individual’s particular life situation.
handmodel mentioned "I'm not South Korean", that's why I mentioned it. That's all.
A lot of the difficulty in learning FP is in unlearning imperative programming.
I hypothesise that for someone whom has never programmed before, FP and declarative paradigms are easier to reason about.

Do you have a landing page? If so do you have it in multiple language or just english and why
Not nearly as important as some indication of whether or not the window is currently active. I have absolutely no idea why the FF devs decided that that little tidbit of information doesn't matter to anybody.
Yeah. As one example, depending on the business, you could require a certain percentage of staff be locally hired. Or perhaps incentivize local hiring with a tax on outside payroll (which would also generate revenue). You could have a "free trade", low tax zone without having to eliminate taxes entirely.
I think you use a different definition of bullshit than the discussion here.
Someone pointed me to these [1], M-Disk, 25 pack of 100GB for around $260. That last for 1000 years. Probably some marketing numbers but I will be happy even if it was 100 years. It is still on my research list I have look at how and why it works and if they really that good in real life. But [2] seems to be reassuring.

I dont think the cost is expensive on a long term TCO. Assuming it really last that long. The problem is the time to burn those Data and they are practically not searchable.

I hope there are next gen storage, optical or not that brings larger data count and longer life cycle

I am thinking of a vague idea if there could be an NAS, where it has two drive, one for your local copy, the other one is used for storing bit and pieces of Data of similar brand of NAS from other users for recovery purposes.

To add more weight here, when I was teaching programming in collage I found it quite surprising which concepts students found difficult to understand.

They struggled to learn pointers, which makes sense to me. They also struggled to learn OO. And they struggled to learn recursion and state machines. All this stuff seems so simple once you've internalized it.

I think there's something real to the idea that humans have a hardwired instinct for stories. And that makes learning imperative programming easier. But you move beyond your intuitive instincts pretty fast. And when you do, it really matters how well your language or environment helps you to think.

The problem with C++ templates is simply that they aren't very good language for thinking in. They're a mashup of functional concepts in an imperative language with bad syntax. But functional programming doesn't have to be done badly. For a comparison, look at spreadsheets. They're arguably the most popular programming languages in the world. And they're purely functional.
I would say the West sees the Theseus' ship as the same ship but rebuilt some scratch as not the same ship and that's where we draw the line.

The surprising part is nobody argues we should restore pyramids and repaint/reattach arms of roman statues. This makes me feel like there's the additional requirement that it needs to be a continuous process of restoration and you can't just restore it to what it was hundreds of years ago.
I agree and I think your position is legitimate. My issue is just with those vegetarians who claim a universal moral superiority over meat eaters. This attitude is extremely prevalent, just reading the comments here. “No justification”, “no excuse”, on and on.

I think vegetarianism makes a ton of sense from an environmental and ecological point of view, but this has nothing to do with the moral one.
It is not myth for ransomware. Many documented cases. It's essential to the survival of these groups; local cops more likely to leave them alone if they leave local businesses alone.
I'm surprised Andy Grove's High Output Management wasn't on the list.
Oh, those who think taxing is legitimate, downvote all you want. Take a moment to explain this to those who refused from the get go to go around the world spending a portion of this money to bomb millions of people, costing over 2 trillion dollars in Afghanistan alone, money I think would have been sufficient to fund a hospital for everyone who needs it in the entire continent.
I don't think it's really a common viewpoint in the West. E.g. that temple in Paris that burned down, y'know, the Notre Dame, is being restored, and I doubt many people would see it as "not authentic" just because some parts had to be replaced.
The males want to aspire to be a member and females to be close. You were both right.
GraphQL was designed for mobile apps and UIs, and I think it’s perfectly suited. We started to build our front end using our public REST API and the experience was so harrowing that we started looking for something else.

The big win with GraphQL comes from the client-side tooling. You can have a React page with 100 components that each request their own data, and have it automatically batched up into a single request. Your page no longer has to predict what data the components will need. When a junior front end dev tries to reuse a component from page A in page B, the page B query will automatically be updated to fetch the data required for that component.
I like functional programming because I like algebra.

When I can reason about things in a way that I understand, that makes me happier as a programmer.

I don't think it needs be any more complicated than that.

If it's not popular, so be it. Most of what I am interested in is not popular. I don't care.
Thanks! I'll check it out
Honestly as a westerner I'm not quite sure what they are talking about either, because all your points seem valid to me.

If I'm to wager a guess they had a bad example because buildings and art are often restored. Maybe they were talking about types of entertainment? But I'm not sure I buy that either because of the popularity of reality television. And also because what the article is about just seems like a natural extension of your typical Disney pop star.

Java streams are a (limited) version of what you propose.
Something like this is very idiomatic:

Yep, Apple themselves will find exploits, white hat hackers will find exploits, Project Zero or Microsoft teams will find exploits, and so will NSO or other blackhats. It is a mix of luck, skill and putting in the time. NSO has successfully monetized their exploits, allowing them into then invest the money back into hiring more people, which increases the luck/time put into it.
> No one is trying to mislead, restoration does not try to hide the fact it was restored.

The problem isn't the dishonesty, I'd just be disappointed that it's not the original thing because the original thing is infinitely more complex and layered and informative than a reconstruction. All the tiny flaws and subtle details you can find in the original can be lost in a reconstruction.

Buildings & architecture aren't my passion so it's harder for me to feel this about stuff like restored temples, but I sometimes feel this about things that I am passionate about.

It's like in the movie Inception (2010) [SPOILERS AHEAD]:

Cobb: I can't stay with her anymore because she doesn't exist.

Mal: I'm the only thing you do believe in anymore.

Cobb: I wish. I wish more than anything. But I can't imagine you with all your complexity, all your perfection, all your imperfection. Look at you. You are just a shade of my real wife. You're the best I can do; but I'm sorry, you are just not good enough.
that same logic works for reversed-compose - a|b|c|d = (a)|(b~c~d). It is inconsistent with the normal kind but I think it’s worth it just for the ability to write list |map| func |filter| predicate |group-by| keyfunc |map| .values() |map| sum, which is so nice because you start with the value and as you read the thing that’s happening is precisely the thing you’re reading, and everything’s in one place - it’s
I’ve been using GraphQL seriously for a year on a client project now (an inherited decision). I can totally see why it would be useful for a public API or an internal API in a very large engineering org.

For everything else it is needless complexity and an additional failure mode. The tooling and operational aspects aren’t as mature as a conventional HTTP API (yet?) so I’ve found it to be a higher cost for limited gain.

I mostly agree with you too - however I think there is a subtle difference between an employee explicitly wanting to work these incredibly short shifts, and an employer mandating it.

I.e in your example, where someone wants to work in 30 minute increments and that is the staff member's choice and the employer is happy, then fine.

However it would be unreasonable for an employer to say to a staff member "I'm only going to pay you in 30 minute increments, and after each 30 minutes you can go watch TV, but if a customer arrives when you are on break I want you to run back to work straight away to staff the till, and I'm not going to pay you for the time watching TV".

It's reasonable to ask the Babysitter to work part-time and have fairly short shifts. An example of being unreasonable would be to say that they have to take calls during the day with customers and they will only be paid the minutes talking to customers. It's worth saying the laws here change if you are an employee vs sole-trader, and most babysitters would not be classed as an employee while Uber drivers are.
So when you said "Selection starts from age of 4", you mean that schoolchildren of this age receive standardised testing?

What does this have to do with the military? What does the "selection" actually entail?
This sounds a lot like the classic .kkrieger[0], though that had more complex geometry based on deforming simple shapes and wasn't trying to mimic an existing game.

If the babysitter is an employee of a babysitting bureau, sure. If they're an independent contractor, negotiating babysitting contracts on their own, no (well, strictly speaking, they are at that point their own boss and can decide if they want to pay themselves for downtime or not).

For any situation in-between, the answer probably ends somewhere on the spectrum between "yes" and "no".
Super cool. Stuff like this makes me sad because Quake Live required a browser plugin but it's quite doable now.

We have laws on those areas. They are both stricter and more harshly enforced.

Unfortunately it’s lucrative enough for companies to exploit loop holes by utilising subcontractors, paying the fines and so on.

The real issue is the proof, but it’s nothing new. When the banana industry first took off a “magical” amount of small banana farmers disappeared or sold their lands to militant groups in South America, these groups then sold the land to companies like Chiquita.

Chiquita tried to buy the land the normal way first, when that didn’t work they then made I known that they were buying the land in circles that could “get” the land. Chiquita never actually hired anyone to do the dirty work though.

Every piece of hardware I own is made immorally, yours is probably too, exactly because of companies using these methods of having other parties do the dirty work, but because they have more money than governments it’s impossible to come after them in a legal manner, at least without making some radically different legislation.

Maybe we should do that, but it probably wouldn’t be healthy for democracy.
Just don't do any of that stuff if you don't want to. If you're writing software because it's useful to yourself and others and making it open to others to use you do not owe them a place to chat, engagement, a roadmap, a release cycle (or any given release).

You can weigh whether you want to do those things

Those things are often set up when people want to run software projects with certain goals and if those goals are not yours then that is fine, just know that there is a tradeoff.

One nice example is litestream[0]. It's open source, not open contribution -- similarly you can have open source without built in community/discord/project-management/etc.

I have lots of friends who are ex-8200 (high levels of hightech are surprisingly full of them actually) and this is the first time I hear about that. If you mean that selection that happens at 17yo is based on grades and teachers evaluations since kindergarten - that might be, but it sounds different than "selection starts at 4yo" which implies that 4yo kids are selected and followed all their life.
