That could very well be but, lacking any conclusive information, my first instinct is that their algorithms are just stupid and that Google's AI capabilities are overrated.

With my YouTube account, I've had this problem for many years where the autoplay gets "stuck" on a particular channel, and this can last several months. Back around 2018 it got stuck only recommending Jordan Peterson videos. I'm not a Jordan Peterson fanboy, but I did watch a few of his videos and as a result YouTube believed that I only wanted to watch JP and nothing else. Nearly the entire list of videos on the right-hand side above at least the first few folds were nothing but JP. I would mark some of the videos as "not interested", but I hesitated because it's not like I didn't want to never see the videos. Eventually it magically got unstuck, and things would be fine for a while until it got stuck on something else. Last year it got stuck on Lex Fridman for several months. I could be watching a video on video gameplay and then it would suddenly move on to a Lex Fridman episode I'd already seen.

Maybe they're both corrupt and just not that sophisticated. All I know is that its recommendation engine is faulty and they refuse to show me the latest content from all of my subscriptions.
That's not really true. There could be not enough hours in the day, even with lots of overtime, and your team could have an impossible task. Eager to please employees will still clock the overtime, because then "at least I tried", and they have the optics of "giving their all".

However, I agree with your overall point. Getting things done on time without abusing people (I consider using people's personal time to be abusive), with everything in harmony is hard.

It's easy to push your employees to log hours and have everything be a trainwreck when people are cranky, overworked, and cut corners to make deadlines.
I've come full circle on that using voice assistants. Y'know - when you're a kid "terminal interfaces are bad, guis are great". When you get older and learn "Terminal interfaces are good for compsability and piping, they're great." Then you start developing software for users and learn "terminal interfaces have poor discoverability, GUIs present them their options in clear, informative ways". Then the promise of natural-language processing appears and it's "terminal interfaces are great, you don't have to be perfectly precise any more".

Now, with my google assistant? Text interfaces are awful, because I have no idea what combination of magic words will confuse it. What will be interpreted as a parameter to which command. Even simple commands get broken if I accidentally add phrasing where it interprets it as a different command... usually just giving up with "I don't know how to do that" and then Google gets a nice recording of elaborate cusswords.
To my knowledge its not nearly as big a thing, but I heard about a kid who was essentially ostracised from his friend group because he had an android phone and they all used iphones, which effectively to them just meant his chat bubble in imessage was a different colour (I know there are legitimate advantages of imessage, but talking to people who use it, I doubt that was the issue at play). Eventually his parents brought him an iphone and he was allowed back into the group, but yeh kids can be brutal.

If kids are that brutal over the colour of a chat message, you can only imagine how they'd react if they didn't have a phone at all (or have social media, they are essentially one in the same in this case).
Yes the Europeans are experiencing a lot less PII loss. lol.
The charm of Eliza is that it was simply a Rogerian therapist who didn't try to be intelligent.

Eliza's talent was in getting you to express yourself, free from inhibition. That doesn't require “intelligence”, but it does require the art of listening. There's nothing dumb about that.
I can attest to this. I myself am victim of this. My undergraduate thesis was plagiarized by two other papers. Code was 80% the same, they just added some trivial things. No citing of my work at all.

Look at my other comment for more explanation - if you are working under less known advisor, or at less known university, there is a high chance that this will happen if your work is good.
That's enough to make them sit up and take notice, then.
>Beware looking at teams on a spreadsheet.

Beware looking at teams as a social network graph or org chart! Human teams are nuanced and require up-keep.. hence the existence of HR and management.
The beauty of RSS is the fact it doesn't have those things.

But you can embed ads in RSS feeds if you want to annoy people.
One topic I haven't seen widely discussed in books but happens in the real world is back pressure. I think you're getting to this with "attack your designs", though I find it hard to predict.

Have you any thoughts, books or resources you turn to, to make sure the whole pipeline is balanced - or doesn't fall over when one part is overloaded?
> who sell you, by word of mouth, to their circle of friends and family

The warcry of uberfans of this or that IP the world over. I don't buy it anymore. That group can help, but they're not necessary for an IP/service to move forward. Worse, they have higher demands and expectations and feel personally offended when you do wrong by them.

Whether it's Humble dropping Linux or Marvel not lampshading a character detail, I'm moving closer to the perspective that a sold ticket is a sold ticket. But a sold ticket that doesn't result in a swarm of complaint emails is worth its weight in gold.
Studies show that a windturbine kills approximately as many birds as a domestic cat does.

According to a French study ( https://www.lpo.fr/la-lpo-en-actions/developpement-durable/e... ):
0.3 to 18.3 birds/windturbine/year
5.2 according to Loss et al, 2013 and 8.2 according to Zimmerling et al. 2013.
As always I may be wrong, but the (admittedly very few) times I find an article/paper based or revolving around code that is interesting/useful for some purposes I read the "code is available on request" (or similar) as the (in-) famous Fermat's Last theorem note:
Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.

Nowadays margins are large enough and cost nothing or next to nothing, and you don't probably have any other use of your code, so what would be the advantage for you in not publishing it?

What kind of competitive advantage does it give to you?
(what many scientists think might be not as relevant as what you think about this "competitive advantage" secifically in your specific case/field)

About "cleaning it", why?

I mean, if as-is it works (but it is "ugly") it still works, what if in the process of "cleaning it" you manage to introduce a bug of some kind?

Unless you plan to also re-test it after the cleaning, I guess it would be better to not clean it at all.
As is so often the case, there's a lack of actual engineering in software "engineering". SPAs may be faster to develop and more performant or they may not. But simply declaring it to be so is not engineering. Extensive time is needed to make that determination and it must be based on an objective analysis of collected data.
> There are fields where entire research groups routinely harvest preliminary ideas from graduate student publications, and then finish them and rush to publication before the student realizes what's happened.

Can you provide a source, or example of this? What does the Amazon of academia look like?
> If you leave your old team it means you no longer use your knowledge,

If you move from Team A to Team B, you may not use your knowledge of the details of their codebase.

But you know precisely how to sort out the problems caused by the company's weird internal certificate authority, and their weird internal deployment tools, their weird internal inter-service auth system, and their weird internal multi-cloud system. That 'secure' way of managing secrets in production that makes 'unauthorized' errors almost impossible to debug? You know how to debug it. You know how to operate the purchasing system so your orders go through right the first time. You know precisely what the criteria are to get your subordinates promoted, and how to coach them to meet the criteria.

That can be worth a lot, when it comes to getting things done.
real and reais, not reals.

hey-I on the plural doesn't make a lot of sense to me, you are probably not hearing something she is saying.
Just because some companies write ancient C++ code doesn't mean all companies do. I write mostly C++17 these days for a company, and my previous job wasn't exactly afraid of modern C++ but they could have embraced more of it. The post I shared is from Microsoft about writing modern C++ .
On the consumer side, I'd much rather use PayPal than put my card number into a potentially dodgy site. Protects me quite a bit, and with a easier UI.

If I can't PayPal or Apple Pay, I've at times gone elsewhere.
To the surprise of nobody, it's mostly Mongodb and Elasticsearch. Those wildly popular services with dangerous defaults.
Hmmm...I and a few other top developers on a corporate team just left a project and company because we were being mindlessly driven by management.

Management really tried to be accommodating, transparent, and woke in their treatment of employees but the work load was just too much. One sprint into the next without any breath in between.

Tenure averaged about one year on the team. The project has been going without release for three or four years.

The only people left are juniors (college grads basically) who don't realize how bad it is wrecking their health.

The only thing keeping their main SME dev is the generous PTO. She is always out sick, randomly. A lot of it was obviously the stress. She would always let out this lengthy loud exhale on calls and in grooming sessions. When I started doing that I began the exit.
I mean that doesn't sound like a revolutionary hot take to me, I guess I'm glad you're inspired?

The problem we on this side of the pond are facing now is that the electrification is going too fast; people installing solar panels on their roofs, getting an electric car, companies putting solar panels on every building and unused patch of land, people electrifying their house by replacing their gas boilers and stoves with pure electric alternatives is all well and good, but the infrastructure can't handle it, and they need YEARS to upgrade said infrastructure, to the point where they are forced to refuse to connect new businesses (that produce or consume a lot of electricity).

It's great, but it needs big investment in the electricity infrastructure.

And of course, better guarantees for energy production. We're facing an energy crisis over here, due to fuckery with Russia, the gas supplies are running out and prices of gas have gone way up, which is causing electricity prices to go up as well. As a country, you need to be able to give guarantees about the stability, availability and cost of electricity. It's not something fixed overnight.
Firing IT is the worst you can do for IT security. I would still check if maybe they gave out the means to deface the site though...

Honestly there is merit to the claim in my opinion. The security industry is full of scam, now even formerly reputable providers begin to sell very flawed solutions. But internal IT is not part of that.

It is also a care about doing a sensible risk analysis. Your web server should maybe be isolated from critical systems as any other system the public can interact with.
Yes in Portugal, I tend to see a lot of similarities with German by the spoken Portuguese.. Like "Ei" sounding like "Ai" and "P" sounding like "B" in the beginning of sentences.
> it's substantially more work to clean and organize the code for publishing, it will increase the surface for nitpicking and criticism (e.g. coding style, etc).

Matt Might has a solution for this that I love: Don't clean & organize! Release it under the CRAPL[0], making explicit what everyone understands, viz.:

"Generally, academic software is stapled together on a tight deadline; an expert user has to coerce it into running; and it's not pretty code. Academic code is about 'proof of concept.'"

"Few people work to provide food and shelter, that's what I meant."

And they could work less by not producing a surplus. Which is what I meant.

The can produce enough for themselves and their machine suppliers by Tuesday afternoon. And that's all the people they need to look after.

As usual with anarchic ideas you are assuming altruism on the part of others.

The surplus doesn't need to be produced. The people producing it currently could just work less, which would be fair since that means productivity improvements accrue to them - not you.
If we overbuild solar to store energy for winter heating, CNG may be pretty competitive for on road use (especially for larger vehicles).
I saw that!

I believe 0.8 Hz would be about par with the earliest electronic relay machines. So (assuming it doesn't take 10MW), just about useful to compute admiralty tables.

Like you, I was a bit disappointed when I realized that I wasn't about to read some half practical computing at 800mHz
Deta Cloud (deta.sh) is a playground for independent devs, it's not a full-fledged cloud platform. For production scale and monetization, we're working on Deta Space: https://www.deta.sh/space & https://deta.space/

Deta Space is the way we will make money. We help devs monetize their apps and we take a small cut.

Space is still WIP and we will be announcing more soon. We don't sell data.

Supporting evidence that incomes are stagnant? The aggregate data that is compiled from tax return information will naturally be your most accurate source, although I'm sure you can find thousands of articles that distill that further into a more digestible form as it seems to get reported on regularly.
I've posted a huge amount of academic code (I've linked to a small number at the end). I think you should, but it won't help advance your career immediately. However, I still think it's better for science.

What is useful is if you can produce code people can build on and do their own cool stuff with -- then they will cite you. However, getting something to a state where it is tested for all reasonable inputs, has some basic docs, etc. is a hard untaking.

I figured maybe the author used they/them as their pronouns. But the main page has some testimonials referring to “she”. So idk what’s up with the royal “we”.

Sometimes in science, people use the collective “we” in their writing. But like you say, the OP is using royal “we”, so I don’t think scientific writing is the reason either.
Denormalization is only a performance optimization if it matches exactly to your queries. If your data is denormalized in some way, but later on you discover you want to query it differently, it may be way more expensive to query it then. Even if you know beforehand that you want to access the data in multiple different ways and you denormalize it for all those ways, it might be faster to use normalization because of better memory-locality. So, there are a lot of tradeoffs.
Yes, as I was writing my comment, I realized that Inertia.js does kind of fit in. Only then you really can't call the whole thing JS-free anymore.
Wait so merchants can just pull funds out of accounts without user authentication? This seems tailor made to facilitate fraud.
wtf Germany
So what are the limitations for individual developers? Is the network throttled somehow? Or there is limited life time of application to prevent usage for production (for small projects anyway)?.

It seems like there should be more information and a clear explanation of the business model.
That's naive. To expect all content to be free forever.
You need to have a way to gate premium content or monetize it through ads.

The idealism of not doing so led us directly back to centralized weird web where the New York Times force you to call them to cancel a subscription.
Wasn’t there a story about about a Georgia Tech professor who coded a chatbot to act as a GA for his class and nobody realized it wasn’t a real person?

It’s not so wild. Inflammation is very ancient and it does a lot more than make a paper cut turn red. It pulls lots of fundamental levers, metabolic levers. Inflammatory signals are one of the great frontiers of medicine. We have barely scraped the surface of it.
> I think this is creating a false dichotomy by implying that it's a foregone conclusion that a soup kitchen style of government would be able to support everyone.

uh, soup kitchen style of government?

how about no government at all?

just to clarify: for me communism is the antiauthoritarian leftism that is in the bottom left of the political compass.

top left?: stalinism&maoism,

top right?: nazigermany,

quarter-to-the-bottom&full-right?: USofA

exaggerated? perhaps.

> First, buy local from small producers. You can see how the animals live.

good point, if you live in an area with local, small producers.

I cannot speak for my miserable parents, but I definetly did not have children for them to just toil and die.

This is a new repository that replaces a pre-existing nvidia-container-runtime repository that we've been using since 20.04 that does the same thing. It still remains that tensorman would not function without NVIDIA docker container support, because it's literally just a convenient frontend for interacting with Docker's CLI.
Especially with remote work breaking down geographical moats at least within countries/regions, it's entirely possible that for most people salary-maximizing, they go with one of the big West Coast employers (or something like an HFT) if they can get in. And most other companies compete to hire everyone else.

Of course, hiring practices are sufficiently random in many cases that it's not really a matter of those firms skimming all the cream (and salary is only one factor that many go by anyway). But it is harder for other companies to salary match the likes of Google and Facebook.
Yes, Deta Space (WIP) is the way we will make money. We help devs monetize their apps and we take a small cut.
I saw the development of a chatbot based on the IBM Watson stuff. It was just like a phone tree map, except the system tries to guess the option selected based on the intents found in the speech/text. Of course it got no adoption, except when forced on users to drive metrics.

It was enormously expensive, it would have been cheaper to have a human on the other end.
In most cases that is to be expected because WEB-DLs tend to be poorly encoded. You should be looking for a remux.

>service called Plaid that requires your bank username & password, which then screen scrapes your financial details

That is hefty accusation. Wouldn't doing that be illegal?

I was not sure if this website was not some reaction to a reaction when I saw the word "ackshually" written. I immediately closed it. And here was I ashamed at my typos.
I just canceled mine as well.

While I have my windows computer primarily for gaming, I have long wished I could move away to a custom built linux or just a single Mac.

I don't want to support some place that once was good about alternative platforms and then dropped it. Especially when they themselves are not the ones making the games and are just the platform for getting them.
Absolutely, while I'm very grateful for free services I can sometimes wind up avoiding using them because I'm concerned about my privacy or the longevity of a setup

I have the same experience, but with even far more basic things than a debugger, such as the Home/End keys on your keyboard, or the search/replace function. Nobody ever bothers to try and see what they do.
The idea of completly replacing human beings with chatbots isn't going to succeed. They have their own uses, not very advanced, for example replacing some web interface with chatting in WhatsApp/Telegram, some companies already adopted that and filtering people in case of a call center. But for something more complex that requires actual experience and real life understanding, they should connect you to a real person that can comprehend your messages.
Arrogant American Airlines Pilot Schooled by Lax ATC
Just a heads up for non-portuguese speakers: brazilian portuguese and european portuguese can differ quite extremely in pronunciation. Then there's also african portuguese pronunciations, though to my ear those tend to be closer to the european.

The article is written from a brazilian standpoint, so keep that in mind when comparing with your own experiences of the language.
It is at least as likely that they'll take your code, integrate it into their own research, and never mention you at any point in the process. So you have to be OK with that.
You can only subtract common mode noise out if it really is common mode and perfectly equal on both sides of the system. With two discrete probes, that's going to give you a lot worse common mode rejection than with a proper differential probe. He can't even have proper ground references the way he did it (most of his probe ground clips are unconnected). It's just not a good rig. Sure, it might work, and his result might be good, I just don't feel confident about it given the experimental set-up.

If you look at his scope plot, the common mode voltage is kind of a mess and much larger than the actual differential voltage. That doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the final result. I'd like to see a more controlled version of this experiment with better equipment.

Source: I've done the same thing he did, using two probes to measure a differential voltage, and I can tell you it kind of works, but not well. Especially not at higher frequencies.
