I understand the problem and the use-case, but what does your library provide? Running processes remotely? Supervising remote processes? Transparently running Python functions in remote processes?
They're going to be going after somebody pretty soon to recoup that cost, probably had someone in mind before they concluded the deal. Hold on to your hats, incoming!
I don't understands what the fallacy is. It is that an overreliance on data can overlook factors not in the data? Why is that a surprise. You would also have to show that not relying on data would generate better results.

Obviously rules for self driving cars are very complicated. What's not complicated are the reasons why the road laws made for humans are not directly suitable as unbreakable principles for self driving cars to always follow.
I can't help but think it'd be a smart move for them to either merge with System76 or become joint developers of Pop OS. If they could make Pop become a 1st class OS on Framework, they'd be able to provide a Linux experience that is just about as smooth out of the box as any Mac or Windows.

Pop OS pretty much works without fuss on Framework, but taking care of the final 5-10% of tuning would make all the difference for many people to make the switch.
I have my eyes set on the german electric car, Sion. It's the closest match I have found to my Toyota Corolla Verso (2006), which have no smart functions, no displays — just a safe and extremely functional car.

Sion is reasonably priced (sub €30k), seems to have just the right amount of technology, is spacious and has a decent battery pack (~300km range). Production starts next year. Oh, and it has integrated solar panels, which is a nice bonus!

Yes, the RUS support does seem to have switched, they were supporting DE Greens in the past, not sure why the change, haven't followed it closely enough. Maybe damage (to nuke industry) already done, and they needed to amp up support for importing fossil fuels, which wouldn't be credible for Greens to support. As far as I can tell, it's all opportunistic, laying groundwork for whatever might work in their favor. Since I don't have copies of the checks, it is also possible that the Greens merely played the role of Useful Idiots (in the V. Lenin definition) and happily helped with RUS goals.

> They still hire/outsource massive swaths of the work needed to produce a movie, but they are the person held ultimately responsible.

I sort of wonder whether software engineering is just weird, in the sense that in theory a director could probably do most of the jobs in a movie production, e.g. point a camera, select cast members, acting, set construction. They would do them badly, but they would have some idea of what is involved and what they want.

Software is so iceberg-like that such equivalent direction seems impossible without a technical background.
Voltus | Frontend/Backend/Data/SRE/Systems | Engineering Managers |Remote | Full-Time

We are a team of engineers and energy experts working on getting our customers paid for using less energy. Our customers are energy consumers (factories, skyscrapers, warehouses, steel mills...) who will commit to curtailing their demand on a signal from us. We aggregate those "curtailable" buildings into virtual power plants that we sell to utilities and other buyers in wholesale energy markets, splitting the revenue with our customers. Our virtual power plants are cleaner and cheaper than the coal and oil plants they replace.

Along the way, we have to solve some complex problems:

- trade energy in an international patchwork of wholesale power markets
- convince a wide variety of factory supervisors and building managers to cease their operations when they would rather not
- make hundreds of commercial and industrial buildings behave like a single, reliable generator in every way

We're currently hiring for a wide variety of roles--check our posts for more info. https://www.voltus.co/join-us

This is BS. Most human drivers do rolling stops. If you didn't want your Tesla to do a rolling stop, you had the option to set your FSD beta profile to a more conservative setting.

Full stops, when no cross traffic is present, waste time and energy.

You can run your own infra completely independent of them.

Also, their approach is to decentralize until it hurts, then centralize until it works. Calling it centralized is a bit of a stretch.

Not yet. I'm trying to figure out what is going on before destroying everything.

I did try two different versions of Firefox on the same machine though (with different profiles).
That depends on your tolerance for charging for ten mins once every few days or so and reconnecting vs occasionally getting a wire tangled/under the wheel of the chair/forcibly yanked when you forget you are wearing them when you stand up.

It’s pretty 50 50 for me but the physical minimalism and not having the wire/socket wear out swung it in the end.
This reminds me of when I was driving in rural Texas a few months back and came across an apparently very recent accident involving a jack-knifed truck. The firefighters had just arrived on scene. While slowly and carefully driving around the accident, a firefighter got out seemed quite upset with me and seemed to be yelling something at me as loudly as he could, but I couldn't make out a word. I still have no idea if I did something wrong. Driving is 99.9% routine and boring and that .1% is ambiguous and quite potentially life threatening. I share the skepticism of self driving cars.
Does that make it a stupid sign, though?
Good point, and hopefully in 6 years you'll have forgotten what the initial words were!
lmao this guy doesn't know a bupbupbup
Ironically very much like China.
Chances are the turns on the highway are designed to be taken at the speed limit. Sure go ahead and go 75mph with the crowd, don't be surprised when one day its you who is leaving a bumper behind on the freeway. Also on residential streets speeding is simply unaceptible. At 35mph an impact with a pedestrian will kill them 70% of the time. At 50 mph that goes up to nearly all of the time. We shouldn't favor serving impatient people over the safety of others. If the issue is everyone is going 75mph and its dangerous for self driving cars to go 65mph, then we should install speed cameras that send tickets to people who go 75mph rather than letting self driving cars also break the law and drive at dangerous speeds that our road infrastructure is not designed to handle.

They made their presence known. Thats valuable in and of itself. If people disagree with them and they are the minority, other commenters can then throw incendiary feedback at them. Others can then watch the debate and learn how to take apart these toxic rascists using nothing but words.

It's not, but approximately everybody does it. I've even seen cops do it. Once, I sat at a stop sign for a while, just to see if I could observe anybody actually stop. Nobody did.
Like most things in life, 90% of everything is crap. That goes double for recruiters. I've worked with only two competent recruiters in my very long career, who have, at most, gotten me a low double-digit raise at best. I've had one recruiter royally screw up an offer to the point the company rescinded, and I've had another recruiter use coercion on me to not work at SONY for 20% more than the other company was offering. But as only a single data point, I can quite emphatically say no recruiter has ever doubled my money for me.

I will also say that most recruiter outreach, even in this hot market, is absolutely lousy, and the compensation on offer is below what I am currently earning at a company I am exceptionally happy with doing work I love, and I don't consider myself to be overly compensated.

Most recruiters that do any outreach immediately ghost me when I ask about compensation range, and if compensation range is mentioned, it has yet to be more than what I currently make. Once or twice in the past three months I've had an "upto $X for the right candidate" where $X is only 10% more than what I am currently making, so it is highly unlikely I will get that upper bound.

If I responded to every recruiter that reached out to me via email and LinkedIn I'd spend many more hours per day wasting my time than I would care to think about. And most recruiters that reach out to me these days are of the exceptionally low quality churn'n'burn variety.

I currently have three recruiter messages open on LinkedIn, one for an animator with 2+ years of experience, another for someone wanting a mid-level front-end web developer for an AR application, and another for a "senior" Java programmer. I don't do any of those things, didn't even look at my profile or C.V. Just a scattershot approach, which you would think on LinkedIn, with its targetted InMails, it wouldn't be the case. But here we are.

Of the one recruiter out of the three who didn't immediately ghost when asked about compensation (always my first question), the upper bound is $80K below what I currently make, and again, I don't consider myself well compensated.

My recommendation is never waste your time with any recruiter, but if you must, expend it on those that actually work for the company they are hiring for.

What happens if you use Tor Browser?
All of these fintechs (Solana, Paypal/Venmo, etc) are racing for relevance before the Federal Reserve's instant payment system goes live next year. Transactions will settle almost immediately, and each transfer costs a penny. Initially, the transfer limit will be $100k, with the eventual goal of $500k (with FedWire remaining as the product for transfers above those limits).

With regards to international transfers, [Transfer]Wise and OFX have shown the way forward (not just cost of course, but also UX), and from there it should be a race to commoditization of that model.

Wrong thread lol.
What is the need to interject the word 'manage' in there? Is that a powermove?

edit: Have a great day, I'm going to let this one go. Things to do, code to write :)
It does. But damn, two corrupt profiles? One on each Firefox? What is the chance of that?!

Anyway, my last attempt will be to create a new profile. I was avoiding that because it feels like quitting. It feels like destroying everything and replanting the soil hoping for a better outcome even though you have no idea what happened before.
We do it by having services auto-upgrade data migrations, migrations only take a few seconds at most, services maintain old endpoints, newer versions of which will work on new or old database structures (removed in future versions) and doing them at a time that will disrupt basically no one.

That's not to avoid the work of creating maintenance pages of course, it's to avoid needing them.
Before you get too excited:

Also, we can only serve papers submitted with their LaTeX sources."

I think the main point is to know the limitations of the technology and to deploy it appropriately. For instance, I don't rely on old-school cruise control to stop for small children, either, even though I engage it in school zones.

This isn't limited to "Tesla-tech". The same rules apply to ALL technology.
In context, post-modern archival theory makes sense. You just have to read it in context (that of the archival profession wrestling with their moral complicity in supporting some terrible governments in the mid 20th century) and contrast it with other views. Too many people don't do that.

It's more insidious than people going into the field hoping to censor. There's a large cohort that enters the field because they like helping people (as opposed to liking to organize information); those are the ones that end up here. They think they're helping or protecting people. They're also the loudest because the librarians working on things like open source repository tools prefer to bury their heads and ignore politics. Librarians are also really passive-aggressive and conflict-averse. It produces weird dynamics.

If you're still making do with an ersatz cloth mask, sure. I've been wearing a P100 from the start of the pandemic. Both bowls of political Kool Aid are actively harmful - framing PPE as being about protecting others has also damaged the discourse.

Edit: also, I do agree that keeping stuff out of the air is preferable to filtering it after the fact (especially with mucous membranes etc). This concern is addressed somewhat by (3), and also by the additional point that Alice needs to demonstrate empathy of understanding and respecting Bob's choice as well.
Thank you, this is one of the few insightful comments I see here.
If I know that you are currently stronger and would ultimately win a war, I should logically concede now since I will lose anyway.

If I know that you are currently stronger but we both also know that I can draw out a war such that I eventually become stronger, then you shouldn't go to war since you will ultimately lose.

I don't think it's that weird to expect people who are licensed and tested on the rules of the road to actually follow them. Granted, if you do have that expectation, you'll be disappointed approximately 100% of the time, but I don't think the expectation itself is that weird.

Oportun | Remote US/MX | Senior/Staff Site Reliability Engineers

My team is looking for hybrid engineers who are comfortable with both infrastructure and code to support a massive modernization of our tech stack and processes. But more than good tech, we need good listeners: technical leads who can bridge the gaps between product, engineering, and operations to create solutions that meet real needs and make us more effective as a whole organization, not just modern for the sake of modern.

Bonus points if you’ve read the Google SRE books.

Our tech stack is Java/Groovy, a rapidly increasing amount of Kotlin, some Python, Angular+TypeScript, AWS, Ansible, Terraform, EKS/K8s, MySQL/MariaDB+Galera, MongoDB, ScyllaDB.

It's kinda wild that people put up with this stuff, I've had windows update permanently disabled since 7 or maybe even XP. It is exceedingly rare that anything good ever comes of it. I just can't imagine a world where my computer decides to interrupt me, or where I want to use it and it's inoperable. It's just so crazy that people put up with having tools in their lives that they can't rely on.

Computers being "out of date" doesn't stop them from working, it's most often updates that break things.
The problem is, that you can always "force" the user to allow you notifications or cannot proceed. And $GREEDY_MEGACORP would abuse their power and send you a "verification code" through the push notification, else you cannot process the signup etc.

The good thing about the Apple Appstore, that promotional/marketing push notifications are forbidden and will get your App banned from the Appstore. Just allowing generic WebPush on PWAs will result in companies requiring it with dark patterns, just to increase your "engagement" with their product (read: send you spam).

I have mixed feelings about webpush, I myself as a developer want it for my users, but I see the history of the web and how everything nice got destroyed eventually by spam.

Wow that's quite a contrast with my Miele -- the pump broke (after 5 years of basically 2x daily use), and apparently it would have cost $600 for the pump, and $300 for the labour, so they just upsold us a new dishwasher (which only costs $1200 for the entry model, which is what this was), in which case they'd waive the labour charge.
In the immediate, of course you are correct.

In the longer term - I suspect we will develop two different sets of laws as we understand what things robots do well and what things they do not. For example: I suspect that robots might be allowed to drive slightly faster on highways because they are better at maintaining the proper following distance, but always drive at the lowest speed limit for roads with variable conditions because they struggle to evaluate the environment.
