Hmm, not what I want in an intelligent meeting assistant, but perhaps working towards it:-

Scenario: a meeting between three people in a busy cafe, to discuss two of them coming on board to help with aspects of a long-running policy development project. A 45 minute free-ranging discussion both on and off-topic, with interruptions for coffee service and phone calls.

During the meeting, after 32 minutes: "assistant, please recap where we're at."

After the meeting: "Assistant, please summarise that and email the key points to everyone, and set up the followup [meeting] we discussed."

But a really intelligent meeting assistant would figure out things such that 90 percent of current meetings are not held.

Based on everything I’ve read from actual Maine voters on that topic, they did so for good reasons. An interconnect with Hydro-Quebec can happen, if you find a way to bring Maine voters on board and that is a solvable problem. But if you treat their concerns as unimportant and you throw around words like “grand scheme of things”, then yeah, they will continue to reject Hydro-Quebec.

What are you trying to advocate for; making it much harder to receive unemployment benefits? Then your statement demonstrates the exact point the parent commenter is trying to make.

89% of payments weren't considered fraudulent. I.e. it seems like you're suggesting that you'd rather sacrifice the well-being of the millions of people who received legitimate unemployment benefits just to prevent payments to a relatively small percentage of people who don't deserve them.

This is why decentralization is so important. Peertube, IPFS, cryptocurrency, bittorrent, etc. and really web3 in general are trying to move us in that direction.

Part of the problem is that people have been told that there is such a thing as a free lunch. Yet YouTube censorship is a great example of where that leads us.

35 trillion is almost double the entire GDP of the US, and almost 10x the entire federal budget. I don't know where you are getting that number.
I keep checking in on that. In my case what I need to start seriously using it is two-way git interop. I need to be able to work in pijul locally and "publish" somehow to git. So far that still doesn't seem to exist.
There's a reason for that. The majority of countries with these socialized services have suffered from the corruption, bureaucracy, and taxation innate with government control. This is with the notable exception of a few countries with vast natural resources providing an economic baseline, and likely more importantly a relatively small and homogenous population with similar needs and opinions.

Good practice. It's also good to make note of the differences you and your father have politically and then compare then to those of your children (or that age cohort if you don't have children) when you are your father's age. What we consider important, and why, change a lot over our lifetimes.
You’re automatically “opting in” whether you want to or not, so it’s hard to see what’s optional here.
I did great in university, learned a lot, did projects, and the cool jobs still feel so far away. I think the best course of action is to just do what you love and find a way to get paid for it later. That's my strategy. I eat beans, grains and vegetables, live frugally and iterate slowly towards a future I would want to live in.

I think if your problem is that you don't like your day-to-day but your pay is ok, the best way out isn't through university. I think its by dedicating yourself to passion projects through great effort in your free time.
that would be cool, then you could do your visual inertial odometry stuff with that data, even if low quality might be like working with IR
I've poked around with Wireless Diagnostics in the past and I've never seen any graphs or signal strength metrics. It's only ever created a diagnostics data file (which takes many minutes and can't be cancelled once it's started) and done nothing else.

The main argument against paid parental leave is that is will cause wage gap to grow. I don't see the data backing that up.

Yes, there have been other landmark cases in the courts about equal pay.

> That's a lot of employers to keep track of. In terms of people leaving for jobs that do offer paid parental leave only works for those wishing to take parental leave.

You see this is where I think we differ. Here in the UK parental leave is part of a few measures that are aimed at flexibility. There is the right to flexible working (ie working non standard hours) Working from home (which is implied rather than a legal obligation) All of these in 2019 were part of a movement to make work a bit less shit. I had a number of employees who were childless that we enabled hybrid working. So that they could avoid coming in hungover, or work non standard times from abroad. Or just not come in with a cold and get everyone ill.

When a company advertises its "benefits" (this was pre covid) they used to use parental leave as a signal that they had a more relaxed working atmosphere.

For me, I've found that happy employees are loyal, more productive and willing to forgive mistakes. I have tried to make sure that those I manage feel like they have some level of work security, which rewards me as a manager with better productivity and lower staff turnover.

I used to try and be a bit like malcom tucker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjKHPv7b3fQ) it doesnt work as well as just being reasonably caring.

> she would be willing to take a higher salary in lieu of a company that provides generous parental leave.

again this is not a british thing to do. A right is a right, opting out of a right to get more money undermines everyone. I mean sure you can come back two weeks after giving birth, (I know someone who came back after a month) but you're not going to get more money for it.
> As a result I never even finished my bachelors degree, and I'm now in my early 30s and regretting it a lot.

I'd really think carefully about why you want that degree.

> But then I look around and see the cool jobs in 3D graphics, in distributed systems, in machine learning, or other "hard computer science" fields, and it feels like I will never be qualified without a graduate degree.

Why do you feel that? What signals are you reading? Does this feeling apply across the board, or only to one or two of the fields you listed?

> What should I do?

Your title suggests that you may equate "credential" with education. I would take a serious look at that because it's far from a universal view. In fact, it may be the thing that's really holding you back.
Additionally, quite a bit of the need for storage can be substituted by overbuilding long distance power transmission lines. That may be cheaper, if NIMBYs can be neutralised.

There is no "civil war" in Ukraine. It is well-known at this point to have been instigated by agents of Russia. There are more tanks in the occupied territories than in multiple NATO countries combined. Drones, artillery, anti-mine vehicles, and equipment exclusive to the Russian Federation. Let's not use big misleading phrases.

Not to mention that being ethnic anything does not give you the right to start a war. I suggest you imagine a situation where ethnic non-Russians, in Russia, decide to break off a piece. Does Russia have the right to ruthlessly end that? Because it wouldn't even be a question.

Phillip Karber, an American military scholar, has been to the front many times to study Russian military equipment and tactics there:

Performance is a trade off and usability is arguable. There are ML style languages where a Maybe monadic value is the default return value of division due to the division by zero issue.

There are languages that employ this philosophy everywhere. Such languages are actually incapable of having a runtime error outside of edge cases like ffi.

Just so you know, you don't have to wrap every type in an enum. Types and enums share a bijective relationship. A type IS an enum and vice versa. You CAN in fact define an Int in terms of an enum (and an enum in terms of an int, in C). The mechanisms behind an Int and a bool are roughly the same, it's just the cardinality and mappings that are different. Pattern matching implementations usually check types based off of cardinality and do not differentiate between enums and other built in types like floats or ints.
That's a non-issue. If fingerprinting is your concern, people aren't going to blindly tap through 3-5 "allow ____ access to your device" dialogues before they get the hint. If it is dangerous, then Apple could issue a warning in the notification explicitly telling people that it could compromise their browsing.

WebRTC and WebMs don't compromise security anyways. Apple just reaches into their bag of canned excuses and happened to pull out "security" this time.

So what we understand from our study is the following:

1. You must have an Azure account with an API key for using their AutoML. An AutoML environment won't get created without a valid key. Both local and cloud runs mandate this.

2. Getting an Azure account requires a credit card on file and comes with a limited-time free trial. This is a big NO NO when it comes to software claimed to be for free use.

3. The free for life services do not call out AutoML anywhere. They do not claim the AutoML environment (a required step) to be free in any form. Check this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/free/

4. When they say "local" what are they referring to? Run locally on an Azure Notebook, or can I run this locally on my laptop? We have tried and failed ever to get this to run locally on a laptop. So it is not clear whether this is even possible, or the term "local" is misleading.

Have you managed to run Azure ML locally on a laptop, without requiring a connected Azure account?

Yes, if we run the AutoML from our laptop, it uses the API key to create a cloud instance. The data gets uploaded to the cloud and runs on the cloud. Results are thrown back to the local code. We would not call this a local run.

The question is, have you managed actually to use your computer's local resources for training? If so, please do share how this was possible. We would like to know how this was achieved.
Considering the streams are back up, this seems more like a failure of automation and reporting tools than a grand conspiracy.
Completely my experience as well (x3 kids)...can you enlighten me on what the author meant by, "drinking beer from a small and dainty glass"? If there's a social reference or analogy, I'm missing it.
You need to expand the maximum capacity of hydroelectric generation not the average capacity which means zero new dams. As a sanity check if hydro can average 7% of US electricity 100% of the time that’s equivalent to 70% of US electricity 10% of the time.

To greatly simplify if daytime demand is 200GW and nighttime demand is 100GW. You build enough solar to in theory provide 600GW in optimal conditions and 60GW in the worst case accepting most of that is wasted. Still 90% of the time they provide 300+GW in the day which can charge batteries to provide 100GW at night. Which means 90% of days hydro is producing ~0 electricity.

The other 10% of the time solar is producing between 300GW and 60GW in the day. If it’s 299GW then hydro needs to supplement 1GW at night. If it’s only 60GW then hydro needs to supplement 140GW in the day and 100GW that night.

Now in the real world things aren’t that simple. Hydro isn’t a light switch, and wind is part of the equation etc, but as a first order approximation it works especially as you can use hydro to charge the same batteries that solar or wind would.
> It's a privilege not available to single people at all.

And getting more than 3 hours of sleep a lot is a privilege that's not available to recent parents.

I don't know the exact details of what policies are correct for paid time off, but the fact is still true that we have a strong societal incentive to handle situations like this in a way that's beneficial both to the parents and (especially) beneficial to kids -- at least if we believe that parental presence helps early development, which seems reasonably well supported.

I say this as a single person with no plans to ever marry or have children, but the reality is that being single or having kids each carries its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and I'm not sure that fairness between parents and childless individuals is necessarily the best lens to look at policy through.

There's a lot of middle ground here between status quo and what GP describes, but even in that case raising a child is still an 18+ year commitment; I don't think that a single family vacation significantly changes that.

Serious question: Databricks, Snowflake, Dremio. All these "Data" platform companies => which one do you have for your Data Lake and Data Warehouse solution?

I'm sick and tired of these companies Snake Oiling the Data industry by offering "the easiest" platform to satisfy your Data Lake + Warehouse solution only to fall hard whenever you hook it up with your production data (big dataset).

Between stuffing non-monetized videos with ads, the dislike button thing, and capricious censorship, I'm seriously looking into self-hosting[0] my video and streamed content.

I think it all depends on who does your code reviews. I agree with GP that c++ has religious adherents to the one-true-undocumented-in-their-head standard who will make writing it a nightmare. In python the philosophy is supposed to be - there is an obvious way to do things and that’s the right way. However this does fail from time to time.

Ruby on the other hand embraces many different syntaxes to do the same thing, but they’re all accepted as correct in the traditional view.
The specific complaint was "the insane UI," if I read the comment correctly. Time Machine's UI is possibly the last holdover from Apple's peak sizzle-and-flash design days, the era of brushed metal and skeuomorph-all-the-things even when there isn't exactly a real-world analogue to emulate.

To be fair, it's less insane in Monterey than it used to be. No wooshy space background, faster to launch, easier to scroll. But do we really need the "stacked window" view, for instance? Was that chosen originally because it's clearer than choosing a backup date from a dropdown menu, or was it chosen originally because we wanna look like we're using a sci-fi machine to GO BACK IN TIME woooo? I mean, we know the answer here, right?

Gross. More like $2200 after tax.

Healthcare for a family of 4 averaged to $1777/month in 2020[1]. The higher up the income ladder, the more the employer pays that. On the low-end, the employer doesn't pick up much of that tab. So that's the largest expense… unless it's sacrificed in order to maintain a roof, food and transportation.

And we're assuming zero contributions towards retirement, here.

So... no, it is NOT easy to live on that amount of money anywhere where there are opportunities to grow one's job/career.

[1] In 2020, annual premiums for health coverage for a family of four averaged $21,342, but employers picked up 73% of that cost. - https://www.investopedia.com/how-much-does-health-insurance-...

Sorry to nitpick (document seems solid), on page 32:

> Due to a TPC-internal error during the production of 3.2.0 of the TPC-DS kit, the benchmark execution had to use version 2.13 of the kit. It was confirmed by the TPC that the only changes between these two versions of the kit is the version number set in the tools/release.h parameter file.

How can there be that much of a delta of major/minor versions without a change? The only way that I see this happening is if 'change' being defined as the specific benchmark which was run, rather than the kit.

Well every family member and person I've ever gotten to know well enough where we talk politics, believe that the state naturally seeks to increase its power over time, so that people should be skeptical of the state. As cliche as it is to bring up, this is what the American founding fathers talked extensively about. Freedom of speech is the fundamental way that people can push back when governments do this, inevitably as they try to, as every state in every historical period has tried to.

Again, they're either naive or that's what they want and should be honest about it.
