Not to forget that AI can be essentially a black or grey box. You have some inputs and you have some outputs. Mostly correct, but what if that fails catastrophically? At least algorithms, in this case can be mostly walked through by regular humans and errors possibly be noted. Unless the complexity isn't idiotic in charge of profits.
Sales people earn a lot trough comissions and are usually regular employees. Amazon could easily pay some extra money for each delivered package.

Paying someone minimum wage is the employer saying "I would pay you less but the stupid government won't allow it"

Treating someone in this position as an "independent contractor" is clearly an attempt to circumvent wage and other labour laws.

(And no, obviously this isn't the case for highly paid IT contractors with several customers )

I'm glad my government stopped that bullshit over a decade ago.

Because trustee-run non-profits never get up to inefficient or unethical behavior, right? Also note that "minimum cost of maintenance" is a very flexible concept. How much do we spend on moderation and new features? This is why you want it to be as directly accountable to the users as possible, so they can decide or at least influence those thresholds (there need to be some hard minimum standards for moderation).

It might take a while, but as long as it's possible for existing users to pay more, pressure will build up to convince them to do so. Whether because costs go up, usership goes down, or what. Any organization seeks to survive, and it will need money.

Your lottery is sufficiently weird that I can't say it's exactly what my proposal is designed to prevent, but it's definitely in the space of wacky things no one should have to worry about. Also I don't think you understand the level of investment that can go into a dating profile. Message history, for instance.

To the extent you do have trustees, I'm not sure it's wise to not pay them a salary. You don't really want to give power to people who will accept a power trip in lieu of money. Unless it's really easy for the community to replace them
Before I had an insight into Relatively, I always thought there was something special about the geometry of free space.

That earlier insight came from electromagnetic theory where the characteristic impedance, Z, of a coaxial cable is set by the geometry of its dimensions (the enclosed space between the outer casing and its inner conductor). For typical coaxes the impedance is usually between 50 and 75 ohms.

Now consider the characteristic impedance of free space, Z0, which is approximately 377 ohms. I've always visualized that an ideal antenna as a device that 'matches' these spaces so that maximum electromagnetic energy can be transferred between them (between the space bound by the coax's dimensions and free space and vice versa).

I'm not going to get into a heavy debate over this as it gets complicated very quickly but it seems to me there's a direct connection between the geometry of free space, the fine structure constant alpha and the permittivity and permeability of free space [through the relationships e^2 = 4πε0ħcα, c2 = 1/(ε0μ0), Z0 = E/H = μ0c = 1/ε0c, SI units], and that this has to include GR through energy and the geometry of free space.

If Carroll and cohorts can tie GR into deep and meaningful ways with QFT, free space geometry, permittivity, etc. then they may be onto something big. Let's hope
so.

(It's always worried me that free space has constants like permittivity and permeability and that fudging them out using Gaussian units isn't a sensible way of dealing with the issue.)
There definitely is technical competence within the EU and also within the burocratic institutions. The thing is just, that the people in charge only listen to them, when it is convenient.

Lots of death and destruction in Ukraine. Human suffering and misery. A new refugee crisis because many Ukrainians, and probably Russians, will try to flee the conflict. I think that there won't be direct military intervention by other countries out of fear of escalation, but who knows. Certainly a lot of sanctions, and a lot of cold and exploding electricity bills ( Russian gas supplies will be cut off either by Russia for pressure or European countries as sanctions).

Also, the global oil and gas prices will increase, countries like Qatar will benefit from washing their image. Russia should be banned from Olympics and other sporting competitions ( the World cup comes to mind). And the stock market, especially in European countries, will dive a bit.
You've gone from arguing that it isn't complex if people have the right language, to redefining the problem as whatever it was easy for you to do in your preferred language.

Just say "I don't have the faintest idea how to do this properly". It would be much less of a problem if people would admit they don't know how and need somebody else's help than it is when they insist it "doesn't really matter" as you have and produce garbage that doesn't work but insist that's just because everybody is holding it wrong.
It's also about the issue that people will bias against generating the "difficult" data, even if only subconsciously. Real-world validation is essential to reveal whether you have actually worked through the full phase space.

I experience this too where I find it hard to motivate myself as I get older. So I stay clear of activities which I used to be my biggest hobbies, either because of fear to my health (snowboarding, ultra marathons, etc) or because my mind ages which is the hardest fight of it all because it all starts with attitude. Spotting that behavior in myself is the hardest thing of all. So easy to see it in my friends but am totally blind to my own idiotic old-man behavior.

I haven’t had a chance to dig into the details of what part/version of the spec Safari have implemented so far, and I’m aware the spec is somewhat a moving target. But I do know the developers working on the type of projects I’m talking about are talking to the working group behind the spec to ensure the spec meets these type of needs.

The point of this over “abusing” IndexedDB, jlongster who created Absurd SQL had to perform some pretty unholy hacks to get it to work. When porting these db engines to WASM they expect a FS to look and behave like a FS, that’s what this does that IndexedDB doesn’t.

Quite true you could build a new SQL/DB engin on top of IndexedDB with a storage architecture designed for it. But that’s not what the existing engines are expecting.

A lot of what you are saying there is truth to it within certain contexts but all social media now has themes for your generation around success and what a meaningful life is. It is incredibly easy to spend a lot of time absorbing the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk, the whole startup culture and countless other notable people on YouTube, podcasts and elsewhere and end up with these types of sentiments. What you have to understand is that what is sold is distilled to it's simplest form and is not meant to be particular to any individual situation.

I'm not suggesting that your beliefs around work and what a meaningful life are outright wrong but instead that it is very much not representative of what reality is. Life is a spectrum of color and hardly black and white. For everything you've said there is countless people living lives that would disagree with you.

The most concrete recommendation I can give you is first to be mindful of what information you consume. It's very easy to look at social media and feel that your life is amounting to nothing based on how many people your age may be doing noticeable things and showing it off. I know it's hard to ignore this. Dig into it and really analyze these people's backstory. I'm not saying that there are not some people are just fortunate in life and everything drops in to place. That's a given that there is, but these people are the exception and not the norm.

Second, if your goal is do a tech start-up then go ahead and join local or virtual start-up groups and really talk to the people in these groups and tell them how you feel and what you want to do. If you actually have concrete ideas then try to build a product and go for it. Ideally, build a team or join another startup team. Do it. Get it out of your system. Please, don't shortchange yourself by placing your whole identity around the success or failure of it. Most importantly, don't do it in a void. Go out there and join these groups and soak and learn as much as you can from them. You are young right now and looks like you have the umbrella of your parents to help you. For your parents, tell them this is an itch you have to scratch and that they should give you six months to a year to sort it out.

After a few months, you may be in a completely different mindset.

> I could likely completely nuke my setup and redo it all in less time and effort than learning Nix. In fact, I can say it takes about an hour - I usually do it annually.

Right, this is pragmatic.

I think most of the people on NixOS at least tried using Nix on Linux or macOS first, liked the taste of it, and then wanted to try at the OS level.

The most accessible benefit of Nix is if you're using multiple computers, Nix makes it easy to get the same versions of the software you use on each. I thought that was useful for vim/tmux/fish.

Where I'm optimistic for Nix in the future, for developers, is that Nix is great at describing the packages for a development environment. It's neat to just have a single command to run & have everything ready, compared to hoping that the README contains the right package dependencies for your distribution.

Well, to test the system sure. That's normal.

However, the issue not quite as simple when training a model. For instance, the increasingly popular Transformer architecture pushes around internal representations when fed new training samples. These representations are not "causal parameters" - they do not represent unchanging mechanisms in real life. Instead, they depend on data.

The question thus becomes: How prominent should edge cases be in the sample? A ML model trained on many edge cases may be more robust for edge cases we feed it, but it may be more unstable on real-world data (in essence, the model may have new edge cases when new data comes in that would not have been edge cases before).

All of this comes from the fact that the parameter of the model are not "causal" for the underlying latent DGP. ML, in constrast to stats, does not yet have much theory regarding how to think about parameters relative to the sample of observations one trains on. The question of "causal" identification in stats is easier to tackle, because one can usually define a "scientific" or "structural" model where parameters have meaning, and so we can reason whether we capture "real, causal parameters" (which would be compatible with edge cases) or "reduced form parameters" (which would generally depend on the sample we have).
ML will likely get there. Right now, people think in terms of "data shift" (which they shouldn't) and generalizing (missing the point a bit). But we will get there.

By the way, this issue arose because ML systems where treated like engineering systems instead of statistical models. For better or worse.

At a previous employer of mine we would have happily switched to c23. Postgres is written in c and if you want to write an extension for Postgres you're going to have the easiest time if your extension is also written in c. However, there's no reason not to use the newest c version.

So, c is not just for legacy code.
Thanks.

That's not the answer to the question. So, you've learned CodeMod scripts . How much timeyou will then have to spend to replicate 5% of IntelliJ's refactoring capabilities? And while you're struggling to replicate that, how many capabilities you're missing out on?
It's really interesting because it's like reading a history book ( the things happening only belong there). The only difference is that it's happening now, in real-time, with social media and everything.

Come on, the PHP part is small and at the end, and most things said in this part apply in any language that works the same way, notably C and C++ which also don't care about what you put into their strings.
> Instead of relying on distro maintainers who, say, check one version of OpenSSL, I'll be relying on the devs of each package.

This actually is not the case (although you could do it). While Nix has the capability for every package to have it's own dependency tree, the actual channels/repositories don't keep track of more versions of packages than necessary.

For example, OpenSSL has exactly 3 versions; the 3.0.x branch, the 1.1.1x branch, and the 1.0.1x branch. Some applications need the old 1.0.1x, most are probably on 1.1.1x, while others are moving towards 3.0.x

Nix allows you to distribute packages and their dependencies as quickly as upstream allows but it still defaults to allowing dependencies to update normally and will rebuild packages automatically. For comparison, I checked Archlinux's repositories and they also have two versions of OpenSSL but they have to make sure the shared libraries don't conflict on the filesystem while Nix handles this automatically.

For more sane examples, Nix can easily provide 5 different Python versions, 5 PostgreSQL versions, etc. But if a package doesn't care what the exact Python 3 version is, then it can just take "python3" as an input which will automatically upgrade as you would expect. If a package works with 3.8 but not 3.9 then it can be pinned to 3.8.

Additionally, while the NixOS nixpkgs repository has a lot of maintainers, there are a lot fewer members with commit privileges so it's not the NPM wild west. With extensive use of Github actions/tags, they can quickly merge simple updates while making sure packages definitions are of high quality.
Me acknowledging that I’m squarely in the demographic that needs to be very aware of how easy it is to attribute success to hard work rather than privilege makes me any kind of prejudiced?

This is the green-dyed 130 octane which is basically blended from stocks somewhat similar but cleaner than high-octane unleaded "conventional" automotive gasoline.

A discovery doesn't have to imply that no living being knew about said thing/ place. It can imply only that the person or the group of people the person is from learns about this new thing. At some point in time nobody in Europe had definite proof of how to get to America. You can call "europeans learning how to get to America" something else other than "discovered America", but what phrasing should one use instead?

To make the point, literally nothing can be classified as "discovered" under your rules because any alien civilization may know about everything we'll ever find or figure out, and if they know about it we can't have discovered it.

Columbus was a murderer and people in America before he got there deserved way better but this type of nitpicking correction is just noise if you don't even say what is a more appropriate phrase.

The changes from LTE to 5G/new radio on the RAN part are small actually. The step from LTE system architecture to 5G service-based-architecture in the core network function was quite big and enabling a lot of X-as-a-services (read as: move to cloud). Technically you can run a 4G/5G network with a little bit of smallcell RAN and a single VM running your core (read as: i did in a lab scenario).

Cities are networks effects in the physical world, if they start to unravel then most people will be out of a job. That's totally your right to want to never come back to the office, I'm sure you will have no problem doing just that.

Band38 is the one most 2.4 GHz WiFi-covering half-duplex SDR can handle, at least if modified/adjusted with a local oscillator quartz suitable for LTE. It's an ugly fraction to synthesize with a fractional PLL to LTE-specs of local-oscillator-quality.
