Thanks, I tried:

Q: "who is the current president"
A: The current president of the United States is Joe Biden since January 20, 2021

Q: "Who is the previous president?"
A: Pulls a snippet from the top of the wikipedia article 'List of presidents of the United States'

Q: Is this a leap year
A: Got the same response about Sci - Fi LOL thank you, added to the bugs list! He's a friendly bot :)

Q: When did Neil Armstrong land on Mars
A: Pulled a snippet of text from Neil Armstrong's wiki page and says I found this information on wikipedia.org:

I tried a different query,

Q: did Neil Armstrong land on the Moon?
A: Yes, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.

It's experimental, but we know it can only improve over time and we're really excited people are trying out! And I agree that we need to add additional parameters for when do preform a deep answer vs. when to just display the results.
This depends on details of the ML model. There is a mathematical field devoted to this specific question, differential privacy, and the techniques are in production at scale at Google, Apple and in the US census.
Many companies, and (most?) tech companies have trading black out periods that are lifted for about a month a few days after earnings. It applies to your personal brokerage account too, even though they can't technically enforce it.
But the OP's point was that using workspaces in a tiling window manager removes the need for so much physical real estate. If you have a very fluent i3-based workflow, the limiting factor becomes your own human capacity to focus attention, at which point a single decently large monitor (that can hold, say, 4 windows comfortably per workspace) is all you'd ever need.

3 monitors is just a workaround for a workflow problem that i3 can solve.
I wonder if this depends on the location. I've never run into that issue. Sure, a couple here and there. But nothing where I would ever consider needing a burner number or felt like I was getting scammed. Although I've only sold maybe 10-20 items, so maybe I'm just lucky.
from my understanding the virus continue to exist in the cells of the nasal surfaces well after (like weeks) the immune system has already beaten it up inside the body. That virus naturally continues to attack the body from those surfaces and thus continuously triggers the immune system resulting in that low-symptom prolonged period in the people with normally working immune system.
Ha! If only it were universally so.
How many times have I heard, "Counsel, be ready tomorrow."
Government grants to create and release this kind of thing is another direction. Or just for internal analysis.
This is precisely their point. Reading the usual Arxiv-PDF on a phone is a pain, even if you just want to glance at some key parts of the text. Their version is much, much better. It's self-promotion by the Authorea team on the platform they are competing with (ArXiv), but they have a point.

Arxiv needs to go HTML.
Sounds like he had 40k of expenses, plus at least 9 months without a salary, so it cost him a lot more than that.
Insider trading is no joke. If you have access to metrics you have access to inside information.
I have a coworker that does it constantly and it bugs me to no end. I have to respond, they then ask what they were going to ask seconds or minutes later. Effectively breaking my concentration twice and making things take longer than they should.
I'm talking about the 2003 invastion of Iraq. Desert Storm was won by many and well-armed, not few and well-armed, and a political solution was planned from the start: Kuwait's former government would run Kuwait, and Saddam Hussein would run Iraq.
It seems a good idea but should consider also the ideas:

* Character set, if you want to convert to ASCII, or other character encodings that the document to be converted might use.

* Option for including links (possibly in footnotes, and/or section numbers for links to other parts of the same document).

* Option for to find any <link rel="alternate"> in case there is already the plain text version (but you can also disable it if you want to force converting the HTML instead). (This seems unnecessary for the remote service, but if it has it then it might be useful when using locally)

Is good that you have the source codes, though. You might want to run it locally, instead of having to use the remote service to make such a conversion.

That's the whole thesis of The Bell Curve and also Coming Apart, both works by Charles Murray. There's plenty of citations in those works as well.

Edit: but beyond that, IQ-based class divides seems like a rather logical consequence of the following:

1. The heritability of IQ

2. Assortative mating

3. IQ being a significant determining factor of success in a given society
It seems to be a problem common among specialists, especially among highly valued specialists. I’ve heard the same complaints about lawyers and doctors, for example, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to the “good with computers” crowd.
Cool stuff! A low-noise low spam alternative to Google is desperately needed. Excited to see where the product goes!

Found a bug on one search result - searching "chicken salad recipes" produces a solid blue screen.
... the natural extension of you are not your MIT admission, is that your MIT admission is not you. Do you know they don't have their life together? What if they wanted something different than you? The tone of this comment sucks.
Assuming there's a grand strategy behind this at all, it feels like more of a "steer the industry" play than a "spy even more" play.

If I'm right, the ones who should be worried are Red Hat(/IBM) and Ubuntu. Maybe Amazon, depending on what exactly Google's thinking and how much they weaponize the ability to refrain from open sourcing some of the code.
I've had this argument before, from the same side you're coming at it from, and I was wrong.

It's really not about building a viable product in that sense - the Dropbox demo video is the classic example of an MVP that isn't a "product" as such.
I haven't had any close relatives actually from Sao Miguel for two generations, but I did almost move to Fall River, MA a couple of years ago, so that sort of counts.
Seems like that trend will result in wages between "America" (I guess you mean the US and don't know Bolivia is in America) equalizing with the rest of the world.

Also, fixing things is highly skilled work and very hard to offshore.
Generating functions, perhaps?
No, it's not analogous to TLS. TLS has trust anchors: the key exchange in a TLS handshake is secure, even on first contact with a server. The key exchange in a first-contact SSH handshake is trivially MITM'd. An attacker with control of your network (or, obviously, your machine) can simply steal your password.
For those of us who haven't, could you explain why?
If it was my own comment.
Humm... reading the news saved me from entering into an expensive and hard-to-reverse lease in a teeny-tiny Paris apartment just weeks before the lockdowns. I'd have gone nuts there.

More topical still, reading the (right kind of) news got people to evacuate their folks from Ukraine just in time before it became really dangerous.

Sure, those may be once-in-a-lifetime events, but still.

I'll happily accept that I'm reading too much (way too much) news though.
It's a typical joke popular with the Carthaginians that the Romans all suffered from chronic constipation.
Please tell me which customers you are talking about? Is it the hedge funds who bought billions of CDOs but says they didn't understand what they were? Are they the people you're concerned about.

Seems like a pretty slippery slope, to me. Not only would you turn away potential employees (and risk angering some current hires), you'd have to try defending MacOS and Linux with the same arguments. Unless you're deploying to an XServe, you're setting yourself up with a double standard that seems pretty indefensible. I say that as someone who hates Windows with a passion, and hasn't used it in years.
CRT is an outgrowth of critical _legal_ theory, which upon examination of the career of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Bean has ample justification for existing.
I work in billing software for a publicly traded software company and this is a constant temptation. I'm never gonna do it because I'm not gonna blow up my career for a relative pittance, but I can't tell you how many times I've been annoyed that I couldn't act on private information and make ~$100k or so.

These guys are like the kids who saw the Tide Pod challenges and decided to actually eat the pods. I bet insider trading is not as fun when you're unemployed and bankrupt.
I can tell you why it bothers me personally. As soon as I see "Hey" my attention has been captured by the sender. I now have to sit there and wait for them to type out everything else. Or they sit there and wait for me to respond before they send any follow up. After waiting awhile maybe I learn that what they are sending is not time urgent, but too late my attention has already been completely removed from what I was working on.

The root of the problem is some people see Slack as more synchronous than others. I personally see Slack as more async (more synchronous than an email, but less than a phone call). I screen messages as they come in and respond in a way that makes sense to me. Likewise if I send somebody a message I don't expect an immediate response. Somebody simply sending "Hey" forces the conversation to be synchronous.

Don't you mean the Plurinational State of Bolivia?
Akara – The easiest way to deploy and manage a secure API
Not directly related to the 45th President, but along the same lines...I actually found it funny that when I search for "NCAA basketball schedule" or "NCAA March Madness" and the top results are from the women's tournament, which of course very few people watch or are interested in. This has been happening all through March Madness. Thought it was just a cache issue or some other explanation so I had a few other people test it and they all got the same thing.

So what do we have here, the "most useful result that the user is searching for" (which is the official Google position on SERP's) or a company trying to use its control over information to decide what we are supposed to see?

And of course this is only obvious in cases like the above, imagine all of the shit they hide (or manually modify results for) that you wouldn't know since you don't know what you don't know..

Sure, but Android already has that via a user per application for app sandboxing & a very extensive selinux policy set[1]. Which makes the real-world benefit of that seemingly very negligible. There's a huge gap between desktop Linux & Fuschia/Zircon here, but there doesn't seem to be a particularly big gap between Fuschia/Zircon & Android Linux.

That’s exactly it, IMO. The ability to donate tiny amounts with almost-zero fees, preferably directly through my existing banking system (probably using some middleware like Osko which works flawlessly and I use almost daily, invisibly via my bank).

I don’t have the expendable income to support every single creator I’d like to via Patreon/etc, and I also don’t like their livelihoods being dependent on a single company who can ruin them based on some arbitrary algorithmic magic box of reasons. I’d happily contribute small amounts based on individual content that I liked though, and spread my money wider that way.
People have to prioritize their time. If they get messages from someone, they have to weigh responding to it against all of the other things they may be doing with their time (other messages, that ticket you’re working on, etc etc.)

By just saying “Hey”, you’re leaving a message of unknown priority. You’re giving the other party zero information as to what you might want. If you say that to me, you’re saying “I need your attention, but I’m not going to tell you what for.” If I respond, are you going to ask me a brief question? Are you going to drag me into a meeting that may take tons of my time? Who knows?

Also, I may not get your “hey” until an hour later. Now what happens? I reply “hi”. Then I have to sit and wait around for you to get my response, so that you can reply with what you were going to ask me. But what if you’re away? Now we’re playing message tag. Contrast that with what would have happened if you would have just put your question in the original message: Now, I can read your question, do my best to find an answer, and give you a reply, and I can do so at my leisure. When I respond and you’re not available, the answer is waiting for you when you get back.

I make it a personal policy to just not respond when somebody just says “hey”. If it’s important, you’ll follow up. I once had a status meeting where someone said “I’m blocked on X because I reached out to ninkendo for support, and he didn’t respond”, to which my response was “You didn’t reach out to me for support at all, you just said ‘hi’. How was I supposed to know you had something important to ask? For all I know you just wanted to ask about my weekend…”
Hey, we don't know picodguyo but Pouya is one of our W22 batchmates and just trying to be supportive of us. It's my bad, I'm sorry!
I used to be against standardized tests, but I grew up as a low-income minority in a single-parent household and I ended up getting into good schools pretty much only due to my high test scores, which has been a life changer. Other than test scores, I couldn't afford to do any fancy extra-curriculars. It felt a lot more achievable to know I can change my life if I just focus and do well on a test than it would if I had to somehow do a bunch of random things to look competitive on paper.

If you made up your mind on this issue ten or fifteen years ago then it is probably wrong now, because things have changed.

The cost of PV solar farms dropped by 90% from 2010 to 2020. The cost of lithium ion batteries also dropped 89% in a decade.

The cost of wind has also fallen (though not as spectacularly, something like 30%) and new wind turbines produce electricity much more reliably and consistently than they used to because the new turbines are taller and access steadier winds.

Meanwhile the cost of building new nuclear has doubled in the past decade (at least in the West, for plants like Vogtle 3&4 and Flamanville and Olkiluoto).

The result is that, although imho it makes sense from a "minimize atmospheric CO2" perspective to continue using existing nuclear power plants (or to restart ones that have recently been shut down like in Japan or Germany), the quickest and most cost-effective path to decarbonization now runs through wind and solar. That is why the US built 17 GW of wind capacity last year and is building 21 GW of solar capacity this year, along with 5 GW of battery storage capacity.

That's what we currently have, the title asks "what's next?"

Today's economy uses supply and demand and free markets to determine prices and allocate resources "efficiently". You trade labor for capital, then choose how to spend it. The premise is that individual choice is fair and efficient and maximizes wealth creation the best compared to other models.

YT and Spotify however challenge the free choice model. They claim they can know you better than you know yourself, and do it at scale. They know what music you want. They know what content you want. If their algorithm fails, you will leave their platform for one that does it better. But once you subscribe, free choice exits the equation. Content is the resource and it is being allocated by algorithms. You choose to give up choice.

So, music and videos and other elastic supply is one thing. But what if algorithms can generally solve supply and demand? Can a central algorithm organize society more efficiently than humans can imagine or achieve through market forces?

If so, then it is also inevitable, because either through authoritarian edict, corporate capitalism, or national Darwinism it will out-compete everything else.

At which point, money is no longer a useful thing. Money is a vehicle for human choice. The algorithm has no use for such a device. It will simply mail you a voucher for your house, car, groceries, etc. you'll be getting this year.

A maximally efficient algorithm would determine what job you have, where you live, who you associate with, what your daily routine is, etc.

If there is a "next", it's one where a master algorithm organizes our lives in totality.
Extra credit at school means something tangible. Extra credit at work rarely does.

I think this message applies especially to people working in big tech and/or people working primarily on salary, not equity.

When you have equity in a startup though, each person doing more of their best work can actually make a massive difference to the trajectory of the business. And if you're working on a promising business, working better and faster is the highest ROI thing that can be done.

So it all depends.
If all you're interested in is getting a good job, you don't need a degree at all. The information is available for free in a variety of presentations and formats. The source code to just about all the software you'll use is available for free as are all the tools. You don't even need a bootcamp, just time and energy.
Is it me or is that punchline not even crass? The wording the article uses to allude to it is equally crass, as far as I'm concerned (so what was the point of not including it?).
I remember seeing the original proprietary one with amazing claims of multiple gigabytes on a standard blank VHS cassette, this was in the days of 1.44M floppies, 28k modems, and maybe if you were on the cutting edge a 56k modem and 100M zip drive.

I never got one, and they clearly didn't sell well as they'd vanished in a couple of years. They were advertised in computer magazines and my local Tandy had them in store.

It always annoys me, even now, that tape backup capacities are quoted as the "compressed" volume. Tell me the uncompressed, I know roughly how much my data will compress by (text, sure lots. Already-compressed video? Forget it). Got very irate with vendors when I last looked at LTO tapes around the LTFS/LTO5 time.
Tech jobs spread out during the pandemic, but future dispersal isn’t guaranteed
Interestingly (based on their linkedin profiles), they were promoted after the event. Some of the friends listed even got jobs within Twilio. One even works at Google. Might not the first time they've made such moves; just perhaps the boldest.
Thanks - yes we don't have local searches working well yet and it is very US-centric for those there are there.

The password information is interesting. In the old world, you'd find out it is now password protected only when you go there. Because Andi grabs content live from the source, you can see they've changed it right there in the search results. I'm guessing the page must have been open before, and now it's password protected (or they let robots.txt in but not user agents).

Andi is retrieving content to show in results via anonymous proxies. So the search results page reflects what is on the live site (so long as we can grab the latest content).

Thanks for trying out Andi and interesting edge case! I think the best thing to do will be filter pages out of the live results page on the fly if it turns out it's been password protected very recently when a user sees the results.
It looks like they just made the plots easier to understand and containing more information. Refining as you go and as the situation unfolds is good. I'm not sure I'd read in to it as anything more
Typical of the news, we have an article about a topic that omits the source material. Everyone who clicked that link wanted to read or listen to those old jokes and that’s the one thing the article omits
I, too, had a disastrous freshman year due to my attempts to laze through it like I had all through public school. Fortunately, I was able to change before I was forced out.

I also got my comeuppance about being "smart".

At the time, being an Eagle wasn't cool anymore, either, and I never talked about it. I was reluctant to even mention it here. Also, these days, it seems that being an Eagle is a project for dad, while the kid is along for the ride. My parents had zero involvement with scouting.
IMHO, purely-online or mostly-online games which are not community-run FOSS are fundamentally suspect :-( I'm not saying they are all problematic, but my basic tendency would be to steer away from those.

Also - old-school games, people... by now, there are over 40 years of games if you count old-time stand-alone consoles (Galaxian anyone?) that's probably more than you could play in a lifetime of gaming. Ok, maybe not, but more than you could play in a lifetime of gaming in your spare time if you are actually holding down a job :-P And the best thing is that those games either don't have a way to scam you, and the ones which do (say online games with vanity item monetization) from 10 years ago probably don't work anyway these days.
> Standardized tests themselves have mostly tested not IQ or domain knowledge, but how anxious you are taking tests.

So you really think a completely unstudied person off the street with a sedative would get a better score than someone who does KhanAcademy in their free time?
I'm afraid that's not supported today. But it looks like kprobes do support offsets within a function, so it should be possible to get it to work. That does sound pretty cool, please open an issue for this if you're interested! It might be as simple as (effectively) s/uprobe/kprobe/g, in which case I can try to get that working.

We don't have mainline support for multicore systems, and there's a big ? in there, design-wise. So yes, you are right to recognize that that is the current state of things.
