Confirmed. A good friend and colleague worked at Google. Their employees are forced to use a graphical tool to rank coworkers in comparison to each other by lining pictures of them up horizontally... and you're not allowed to put people on an equal level. The tool enforces disparity.

This after Google admitted that they've been douchebags during the interview process and claimed they were going to do better. Yeah, OK.
We are not talking about property here, we are talking about information. And it is not Microsoft's but belongs to everyone. Microsoft has only been granted a temporary monopoly over this information in order to incentivize them to create more.

yes, that's the point

The text GPT-3 generates can be quite uncanny. I could sometimes swear it almost seems self-aware.

Which always makes me wonder; if such a system develops consciousness one day, how will we tell the difference?
I do wonder what Dall-E 2 would output for a request along the lines of "A still life of a vase of flowers in a completely new art style."
Perhaps not in the US (but many countries have no such constitution), but redeeming said tokens for fiat currency could still be made illegal, which would dramatically reduce the usefulness of such a a system.
In my opinion, the goal of programming is to solve problems, so to become better at solving problems one needs to be aware of the many different (programming/systems) solutions implemented by other people out there. Just a simple example, in http://aosabook.org/en/index.html one can see how a template engine can be programmed. You read it, understand it, and keep the solution in your bag of "solutions to be used later on". Maybe in the future you may need to implement a tiny engine template, so would know where to start.

Another example https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/

I don't think programming as in: typing, writing better "for" loops, etc., has anything to do with "getting better at programming".
It's still detached, and it's been the longest period it's been unpegged from US$1 since it started to have high volume. Look at any graph (coinmarketcap.com is an easy one), since early 2019 when volume picked up it was never more than 6-7 days below US$1. It's been for 14 days and counting this time.
Not to be crass, but a friend of mine was sexually abused by her grandmother; we heard that "someone" in the house was abusing the girls and the assumption was that it was the father.

Do you think that it's possible that we overlook female predators which assists in padding statistics causing this perception to be somewhat self-fulfilling?

Obviously my anecdote doesn't apply to all places, that's not how statistics work, but it was the case that the grandmother was overlooked, and even when caught did not go into the crime statistics as it was considered a social services matter.
> but void of any real intent.

I’m in no way convinced we have actual intelligence in current AI. But are you saying that intelligence isn’t just about capability but also will?
No. If I make a case about poverty and include an overly abrasive comment about some filthy rich person I would hope my argument wouldn't be dismissed for that comment either. And this is the last I'll say about this.
The latent-diffusion[1] one I've been playing with is not terrible at drawing legible text but generally awful at actually drawing the text you want (cf. [2]) (or drawing text when you don't want any.)

> [O] some people say that typing speed doesn't matter, because the slow part is thinking about the code. Those people are wrong.

Care to elaborate? There are people who cannot type (like physically) and yet they are programmers. Also, programming is all about mental gymnastics. Only accidentally (we are in the year 2022) we need to take our hands out of our pockets and type our solutions in an editor.

Ask HN: Good intro to group theory book
Hey I’m looking for a good intro to group theory textbook. I have been studying some cryptography and some interesting permutation problems which require group theory. I don’t have a very good basis to understand these though. Could somebody recommend me some resources for group theory?
Publicly funded institutions such as libraries and community centres can also offer this. There’s no reason other than political ideology why welfare cannot fund these things too. Which isn’t to say there isn’t a place for charity.
I find brilliant.org to be pretty good. It may not go as deeply into each topic as a good book, but it's a great start. I recommend going through all the math courses there, starting from the level you're at and then go deeper with some books.
There is a big difference. You probably never lived in a dictatorship country, if you seem to not see a difference.

Citrine Conference Presentation 2022
1 USDT has been less than $1 ($.998) for the last two weeks on coinmarketcap.
The Brunerie number is -2
It's more a matter of how many users they can serve from one satellite.
Something I’ve been wondering is how Tether, which has a very difficult history of banking, has been able to pay out billions of dollars in USD in a few days (regardless of having it — even if they had it, I assumed it would be very difficult).

Can you share how your USDT was redeemed — was it to USD from a US banking institution (a wire?) or some other mechanism?

Thank you!
I won't caracterise nigel farage in the UK as being entirely of sound mind but he was single minded in his political career. He highlighted this very strongly to the british people and several political lobies within the UK which is why there was background political support for a referrendum.

There was, and is, a feeling of being cut out of the loop with regard to the EP not having enough powers to override the EC which has only really grown in strength since it was founded, which is a shame. I'm guessing the point of this was to introduce checks/balances but instead it's been open to abuse and ended up with the EC weilding most of the power whilst jumping on planes and visiting most of the Euopean high-life travelling in limos through the slums. (And by that I encourage anyone to visit Brussles and walk around 5miles from where the EU decides to sit to see an example of a bit of an ivory tower)

I'm not for a moment saying voting in all countries is correct, I'm not saying first past the post is the only system. But there was little ability for EC members. It's the EP who broadly have their hands tied and are intended to be the ones who go back to their citizens and get voted out of position very quickly when things go wrong.
It is not a far cry, it is in fact almost exactly the same situation, although to my knowledge the crimes of Israel are much more well documented by many sources. Also note that it has taken almost a decade to get to this level of awareness and still to this day Israel critics are called anti-semites and worse. Hopefully more widespread awareness and outrage about the treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang comes soon.

EDIT: Wow, actually more than a decade now since the original BDS statement.
It's "male dominated" but not anywhere near the 90/10 split most people imagine when hearing the word "mostly". The actual numbers are still way out there with how many victims (especially male victims) are ridiculed, and how many perpetrators (especially female perpetrators) are left off the hook.
This tech is amazing as far as the mapping effort in a random poor country like islands.

I wonder if somewhere out there like a supercomputer they have a 1:1 mesh/depth map of the world ha as they've mapped it.

On a side note I also applaud/miss their 360 photosphere app that tied in with the g cardboard.
I don't like this approach either as maintenance gets complex over time. Changing routes in my React-router project is one file, one commit that's easy to verify, try changing a dozen routes with Next and you end up with a dozen of files moved around, with folder structure possibly impacted as well, I see this as an anti-pattern.

The difference is, that I see both western and Chinese censorship. You see only the Chinese. And the Chinese see only western.

And I assume you are substantially short these markets then given that you know this for a fact and it's trivially easy to become wealthy one you know this for a fact?

Pretty much. I've been able to use some regex-replacements on the build output in the past with varying luck. But it definitely feels like a hack and can break in weird ways. Another option is building all environments into a single container image and then selecting the right build runtime using an environment variable. This makes the build costlier, even if you can build in parallell, and a bigger image takes longer to distribute into your environment.

At that point dedicated frontend hosting infrastructures like Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages and others seems like a better choice.
I own both Dyson and Samsung, and I'd say they're pretty equal, but Samsung is much quieter.

If you’re in kubernetes land, I’d suggest checking out argo workflows. Very similar DAG primitives like airflow.

It essentially abstracts workflows as custom resources. Works phenomenally well and quite stable.
European Parliament is mostly a toothless tiger though. Little legislative power (most legislation comes from EU Commission), so they mainly vote yes or no on legislation.

And if parliament votes no, the EU Commission can always reintroduce the legislation, perhaps dressed slightly different, until the parliament votes yes. Which is the modus operandi of the Commission as described by Juncker in the past:

> We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.
> Data shows that the EU's CSAM scanning will not have the intended effect.

The intended effect is a totalitarian surveillance. Children are (ab)used by the EU Commission as a pretext which nobody would want to argue with.
It's not only cutting costs, it could also increase sales of replacement batteries I guess?

Not assuming that is the reason, but it certainly seems like a "positive" side effect for manufacturers.
The GitLab PM responsible for the agent for Kubernetes work here.

The agent supports automatic (and short lived) support for registry keys for the push-based approach with [Auto Deploy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/stages.html#aut...), and we have documented how one can [set up container registry keys for the pull-based approach](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/gitops/secret...)

The difference between Argo/Flux and the agent is that Argo and Flux are pull-based deployment point solutions (especially Flux), while the agent (originally built on shared codebase with Argo) is the basic integration layer for GitLab - Kubernetes connections. This way, already today, GitLab provides integrated container vulnerability scanning that is out of scope for the other tools.

About the half-stitched solution, among the three mentioned tools, only the agent supports server-side applies. The others have it as planned features. If you ever struggled with setting up the right annotations to use pull-based deployments and any competing controller at the same time, using server-side applies provides a lot of benefits.
Sounds like the famous "How to Draw an Owl" tutorial. ;)
I'm implying that if you "don't need Next.js", because it's too heavy-weight (because e.g. you already have a dedicated team working on the back end API using a different language), then too bad: there's no lighter-weight alternative that is viable.
This article definitely strokes a chord in me, although in my case for for Swift, not Rust. After I retired a couple of years ago, I decided to develop a Mac and iOS app in Swift using SwiftUI. In most of my career, I used Java, C or Python.

Swift, like Rust, is a very complex language. Even six months after I started, I keep learning new language features. In some cases, I had to watch WWDC talks and read the language spec to understand why some features were included in Swift. And even then it left me wondering why they could not tolerate a slightly more ugly syntax, in favor of readability.

I should mention that I have been programming for forty years and and I have written several compilers and language run time systems in my career.
First, how can you get closer to the truth without ever going to the damn place?

Second, I agree there's a capability of falsification from either side, be it china or a news outlet. But neither does it translate to guilt on either side.

In the absence of such you'll have to consider from the first principles, and you'll find the US/west/people involve have a lot more incentive to keep china down. As such the better entities to trust are the third parties, ala the muslim states.
So why remote instead of a container or VM?
This article is fine and all, but maybe we should also have a warning about toxic empathy. This is all a lot of emotional work, guess it is something we can all work on but so much other stuff going on.

Being bagless is good in that I can see what it's collected but bad in that when come to empty it the dust I'm allergic to goes everywhere. (If only someone would invent a bag to keep the dust in eh?).
You are thinking of the literal definition - that "made of literal letters".

Mental definition is that "«artificial»" (out of the internal processing) construct made of relations that reconstructs a meaning. Such ontology is logical - "this is that". (It would not be made of memories, which are processed, deconstructed.)

Concepts are internally refined: their "implicit" definition (a posterior reading of the corresponding mental low-level) is refined.

At the end of the day, if all the claims about Xinjiang are false and everything is really peachy and rosey as the CCP claims it to be, then they should allow 100% absolute freedom of the press to go in and check it out.

That will however never happen because it's clearly obvious there is something to hide.

So far all the CCP has done is allow some journalists to go to specific areas, are followed and controlled and forced to abide by rules and procedures designed to ensure that the CCP sets the narrative. Influencers are taken on tours to the same places, shown the exact same things, etc, and all this happens 100 miles away from where the re-education camps are apparently located.

So who do we believe? The guy who is waving a flag saying "guys look at whats going on" or the guy who is saying "you can't come and see here, that guy is lying, hes a liar! He has no credentials, he's western propaganda, hes fake news. There's no need to come here and see anything cos he's lying"
What he is doing is technically legal. He attributes the sources, as the CC license requires. And the Q&A is technically correct.

The correct action is to not ban him, but not show him very high up in results. The same with Expert Sex Change of yesteryear.

I think we are more aligned than what our exchange may superficially imply. But to clarify, from a value generation perspective, I don’t see tech debt as something whose payoff would generate any value other than in terms of technical flexibility and long term engineering resources availability. If a tech debt item is adding a feature then it’s not tech debt. Tech debt is born out of suboptimal support for features. So the feature is in place, but not in the proper technical way (I.e. against target architecture, held together with manual processes etc.). As such my approach with tech debt is realise the value by having cadence of paying tech debt off, not being afraid or thinking too much about the value of bringing things up to date. It’s more of a keep the engine running approach, at least in big engineering organisations where that makes sense from financial perspective as they resemble more a locomotive than a car in economics of restarting vs running ongoing. I am also confident both approaches may equally work or fail depending on organisation dynamics.
Are you thinking of the display-switch[0] script? Achieves K/V/M-switching with only a cheap USB-switch for hardware K/M-switching, and then this script detects such peripheral switching and emits DDC-commands for monitors to switch accordingly.

I saw it posted here on HN[1], and have been using it since then with great success.

I don't think that the best way to explain math is to show formulas. If that were so, then the best way to learn math would be to look at mechanised formalisations of math, which is clearly not the case.
The calls for affirmative action against China had a very low probability of bearing fruit beforehand, but since the Russian invasion of Ukraine I would put them at 0% - no sane politician wants to do anything that will push the Chinese further into common ground with Russia.
