> And it's only going to get worse. You WILL eventually be interviewed by machines, with the same kinds of results, because their purpose is NOT to serve you in any meaningful way. They are a buffer, a barrier; that is their purpose.

Eventually? Many online assessments for entry level tech jobs already require you to answer questions on a recorded video which is then screened and reviewed by Humans. This outlines things [0].

I get a bunch of notifications from recruiters to apply for X, Y, Z position which means I've curated my CV correctly for their ATS barrier of entry.

But I've been focusing on a low-level job in tech, below JR. Dev, while I complete my degree in AI/ML in CompSci. I've not only had to curate my CV to pass the algo selection to get a call back, but then when I interview (often with a recruiter) I've been asked more than once to record a series of responses about my experiences in previous roles.

I did it once just to see what it was like, but it's the typical non-sense you get before you[re asked to solve ad-hoc problems with an employee at the firm. It's been jarring, honestly... And when i tell them about my experience I keep getting told the same thing 'you're overqualified' and 'aren't you concerned that you'll probably get bored?' t I tell them my studies are challenging enough, but they don't seem to believe me.

My entire Career in tech can be summed up as: Co-founder of a Startup to recruited into Megacorp in ~5 years all while interacting with people each step of the way, this new way of doing things has been as frustrating as dealing with the voice recognition with most customer service departments before you speak with an actual Human. And I think, as you detailed, it is intended to be this way.

With that said, I've also had to deal with ~2 months of headaches with my medical insurance about medical claim reimbursements, that ultimately were admitted to be their rep's fault to outline the policy correctly but only paid a percentage of the total sum of what I paid out of pocket for said services.

They drained me of all energy and more important and pressing Life incidents came up and I just relinquished any hope of appealing any further to get the total sum as I had lost all motivation and I'd rather just cancel my policy and go back to not having insurance for a while to recover my expenses.

Personally, I think this is it's actual goal: create a moat for essential services protected by Law, once done drive services to the most tolerable threshold possible, if things need to be assessed put them through of needless complexity and frustrate them enough until they give up and couple that with outsourced CS hubs and you've just ensured that you have a trapped pool of clients who are essentially bound to comply to your business model, eventually they'll be back because they NEED you.

Most developed countries have unlimited quotas for their Internet plans. The US seems to be an exception.
Well its more of a glass is half full outlook - their making the tax payments regardless. They might as well wear the t-shirt emblazoned with "I paid my taxes and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" with pride, no?
I also find that interesting in contrast to the constant outrage about the situation of Palestinians in Israel which certainly has many highly problematic aspects but to me still seems to be a far cry from the situation of Muslims in China or the treatment of the predominantly Muslim Chechnians by Russia. It seems to be quite hypocritical by the governments of Muslim countries.
It's a tax wheeze.

When Bill Gates or some other billionaire allocates some portion of his wealth to his foundation, this is tax he doesn't need to pay and can write off. The foundation needs to appear to be doing good, but it can also develop his other financial interests.

I think it's better thought of as tax efficient part of public relations spend.
Draconian, but might have saved quite a few lifes. Don’t remember anyone panicking though. People quickly realised that attracting HIV is highly unlikely outside of high-risk groups, ie sexually active gays and needle sharing drug addicts. Apparently, nobody in the gay scene was panicking either. Why else did HIV continue to spread to a point where a large proportion of gay men carry the virus nowadays?

And surely it's useful to provide tools to those not yet fully down the addiction path?

My drug awareness extends little beyond watching The Wire, but I'd guess users might test before purchasing or be more likely to work with dealers who would accommodate testing. In theory, at least.

It's all a multi-faceted problem and providing tools seems smart to me. It's remotely akin to being distressed about abortion but not keen on sex education or providing birth control. Attack the issues from all angles.

I think this law is fine, but it might not be effective as people can just get advice from influencers overseas.

Haven’t read this one, but has been recommended highly to those trying to pick up rigorous math starting from non-quant training:

https://longformmath.com/analysis-home

>This book is the first of a series of textbooks which I am calling “long-form textbooks.” Rather than the typical definition-theorem-proof-repeat style, this text includes much more commentary, motivation and explanation. The proofs are not terse, and aim for understanding over economy. Furthermore, dozens of proofs are preceded by "scratch work" or a proof sketch to give students a big-picture view and an explanation of how they would come up with it on their own. Examples often drive the narrative and challenge the intuition of the reader. The text also aims to make the ideas visible, and contains over 200 illustrations.

>The writing is relaxed and includes interesting historical notes, periodic attempts at humor, and occasional diversions into other interesting areas of mathematics.

Have read this one, a book on advanced high-school math with a ‘problem-solving’ bent from a passionate teacher.

I suspect this accounts for the discrepancy in their accounting

Like any human would?
Your global figure includes both donations and value of time donated ([2], pg.8)

Your US figure ([1]) doesn't say anything about value of time donated so I'd assume it is not included.

Finally, the metric where Netherlands and Switzerland come out on top in [3] is in size of philanthropic assets vs GDP. This is noteworthy for sure but is a an entirely different thing than amount of yearly donations.
Why would you run Docker in a development environment? I know that people do this, but I just can't fathom why. Docker images should be built using a build server and deployed to staging and production. If you have a sane development environment - whether it's a virtualenv in Python or maven based in Java, it's pretty predictable.

I run databases however in Docker on my Mac.
Linus Torvalds debuts 'boring old plain' Linux kernel 5.18
They pollute his arguments by way of inclusion. Do you think these statements reveal nothing about the quality of his logical processing (at least in this article)?
From the horse's mouth:

"Tether has over $70 billion dollars of collateral which it can redeem USD₮ against. No exchange’s order book has anything remotely resembling that amount of liquidity."[0]

When you look up the attestation that they provide each quarter 24% of this collateral is commercial paper.[1]

Companies could be redeeming USDT for their own commercial paper.

If you trust these attestations they have a lot of treasury bills and have increased their cash holdings by a couple percent so fingers crossed for those holding USDT.

Here's a quora:
https://www.quora.com/How-credible-are-Adrian-Zenz-one-of-th...

and a quote:

"
Zenz’ academic qualifications, much touted, don’t stand up to much scrutiny. His h-index is 12, about a quarter of the 40 that a ‘good’ academic should have, especially a mid-career 47-year old. His roles are all with anti-China think tanks, not academic positions. He’s in a bubble of anti-Communism and anti-China funding and thinking, not in academia.
"

And I recall a whole google doc on Adrian Zenz's research somewhere on reddit too.

And to add in a more geopolitical element, China is the rising power to western hegemony, and this is part of the west's image smearing techniques - pick an story that pushes a narrative you want against an adversary, and don't verify it thoroughly. Points like 'the US has bombed muslim countries for a decade and now they're suddenly like 'oh we love muslims'' still stand strong. Be aware of that.
When we rolled over to 2020 I put down ten predictions in my calendar for where we'd be in 2030. I don't remember all of them, but I know one of them was that by 2030 we'd be in the beginning stages of AGI-like intelligence and that some of them would have begun to solve real problems for us in mathematics, physics and biology.

Some of my predictions that I wrote down:

1. There will exist an experimental commercial fusion reactor that has achieved a continuous Q>1.

2. A true quantum computer will have solved a real world problem in math's or physics.

3. We'll be at the threshold for AGI-like specialized intelligence.

4. ML & AI research will have cracked several diseases, one of them Alzheimer's.

5. We're back on the Moon with a small base.

6. Protein folding is a solved problem using ML and QC.

I'm looking forward to revisit them in 2030, but I feel like we're on the right path.
One big downside of semi-flexible panels are how susceptible they are to damage from hail. One big storm can kill 40-50% of their efficiency. Here’s some test results: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/01/f7/pvmrw13_p...
Since the choice is often restricted for these options, I usually choose Doctors Without Borders since at least they're actually out there doing stuff on the ground.

Otherwise the FSFE when it's an option in Europe since their Public Money, Public Code campaign is great.
If the content is worth accessing, certainly :)
I suppose it would be helpful if you provided some grounds on why you do not trust this foundation. There are other messages in this discussion showing distrust in the foundation and Dr. Zenz, but none provide background for that.
Governments have found that they can strip away any form of privacy from us just by saying they're doing it for the Children. No-one with nothing to hide would protest again Child Pornography laws, now would they?

Is there a way of fighting this trend, without exposing oneself to this very effective way of cancelling you and destroying your life? I feel we're powerless to stop this.

Despite living in Berlin, my grasp of politics is also terrible.

However, while I can’t say either way if she’s good at other things or not, the headlines aren’t going to answer that either way — news only covers emotionally charged events, and outside science, tech, and weather forecasts, that in turn makes everyone look bad most of the time.

So what is left in your opinion? Do you really think us more than complex remix machines? What is fundamentally different to the current AI?
The control group is needed to measure process properties / systematic error.

It does not need to be a placebo group. Previous data at the same hospital does not help because the regular medicine does not run according to study protocols.
Chess Position Ranking
Whether you are blackout drunk or not should not be the dividing line, because you can be terribly impaired without having blackout, and you can have blackout without being terribly impaired. It's not in general possible to tell if someone will have blackout.

I think it's important to understand that alcohol only slows your thinking, it doesn't "change your personality" or make your thoughts or wants go places they otherwise wouldn't. All that is socially learned. The drunk you is you. If you state consent as drunk, it's because you want to.

In practice, though, blackout is a terrifying experience, and for all the blacked-out person knows they were completely unconscious during what happened. So they can't be faulted for fearing they were abused. And so, for your sake and theirs, you should NEVER have sex with anyone if there's the slightest chance they have blackout, i.e. if you can tell they are drunk at all. This is an easy rule to follow, and I have very little sympathy with people who can't.

People lie on surveys and focus groups, often unwittingly (2004)
Well, the position she holds is not democratically elected, she is a representative of representatives, so we (the EU citizens) have to bear with her (and any other EC leader) for [*5*] (edit) years just because our "governments" chose her. This essentially means that Germany & France (after Brexit) get to have a common opinion and then it is spread out so that somebody is elected.

That is a simplification but it mostly works like that.

So, the European Commission is not a democracy, it strictly speaking an oligarchy.

The European Parliament is different. But the BIG money is managed by the EC.
It is also the exact same thing with text. Articles that are well written will be much more liked by readers
Subsidize things with positive externalities (e.g. territorial defence) and tax things with negative ones (e.g. industrial processes that pollute the air).

In this case the donor gets his entertainment and good feelings and as a positive externality a child doesn't get malaria.
And to put this into perspective, the European Parliament doesn't even suggest/propose laws that will have any actual effect on the people that have voted for them (leaving aside for a moment the fact that almost no-one knows who he/she votes for when it comes to the European Elections), it's the un-elected European Commission and the European Council that does that, the European Parliament acts just like a rubber-stamp entity.

This came as a surprise to me because I have only learned about it recently (during the last year or so), even though I've been voting in the European elections ever since my country joined the EU (in 2007). And I liked to think of myself as reasonably well-versed when it comes to politics, and, as such, I'm pretty sure the majority of the European electorate doesn't know that basic thing either. I mean, it's the European Parliament, no? They're the ones who suggest and propose laws, no? That's why we elected them there, no?
I think creating a class of people that are more easily exploitable is the goal. Any relief would obstruct that objective.
Interviews were never easy for me. I have struggled with disabilities and ailments for my entire adult life. Don't sell yourself short. If I can overcome most of the challenges I've had, so can you, eventually.

It's worth playing any card you can play to get ahead, especially in this economy. But keep your eye on the prize - A big part of life is about getting dealt bad hands and still finding a way to win.

> Studying grad-level concepts that are specific to my field, and applying that knowledge to develop and maintain image processing workflows.

I used to do this exact thing, but then after switching my study time to non-tech related things, namely how to deal with people, I was able to get great results from that. Getting even better at something you're already good at is less useful than studying the basics of something already identified as being a bottleneck to your life's goals.
I just got the keyboard and found this review to be helpful and spot on. Interesting keyboard, still getting used to it. I do like it and looking forward to healing my hands.

Ugh, the question is about systemic torture. Your counterpoints are not. As terrible as the condition in US prisons can be, those prisoners are convicted. The only crimes the millions of Uyghurs committed are being of a certain race and practicing a certain religion.

Your profile says, “Hates when people get killed, especially for religion and oil”, yet you seem to be completely contradictory in that regards throughout this thread.
Another point of reference for people unfamiliar with how wildly impressive sewing machines can be: I own a sewing machine that does 21 different styles of stitches. Anything from straight to zigzag to crazy decorative stitches. All that works with the thing unplugged. You can just turn the wheel and it'll do it. When you do plug it in it'll do all those stitches at breakneck speeds and still stop on a dime.

There's few things that upset me the way sewing machines getting computerized upsets me. It's a clear step backwards to me.
I see many negative comments about Microsoft and "yet another UI framework"... I started back in the Webforms/Silverlight days, and brough over my skills to each next iteration and had a pretty pleasant dev. experience ever since.

I was using the following: Silverlight -> WPF -> Windows Phone -> WPF -> Angular/webdev -> Xamarin.Forms and now since MAUI Preview 11, we've been building our new mobile/desktop product with it, and we'll release it soon.

The part where I was a web developer was honestly awful. Web frontend isn't even close to what any of those mentioned above are right now. Layouting stuff on the web is a nightmare, a little less now that grid is coming along, but still lightyears away from what you have in WPF/XF/MAUI... and then there's decoupling UI code from your business logics for testability. With Angular/React/Vue (Vue suted me most, but it's still meh) it's halfway there but still meh.

On the .Net stack, you have battletested frameworks and libraries that have been around for ages, on both, hobbyist apps to full blown enterprise solutions. At some point I was working on a desktop app that would run on a 5*6 monitor array (highway control room software)... 30 windows open in parallel from one app, everything in sync, everything just working 24/7.
And now, we'll cover Android/iOS and Windows desktop, with one codebase, and it's not just a simple CRUD app. We're connecting with RFID readers, using cameras, geo service etc... I can't imagine pulling this off, in the timeframe we did, and the amount of devs working on it, with any other stack.

Yes, there's no Linux support, but the way MAUI is laid out, it shouldn't be too hard to get that going. Just look at who and how contributed the Tizen backend. I'm sure the folks at MS will welcome you with open arms if you want to contribute some effort into making Linux happen.
Been working on a similar thing recently, but this looks fantastic

It looks like you're using some kind of perlin noise, one idea I had (probably been done a million times before) is rather than using the "height" of the noise to decide on a tile, you could have it decide on a biome, which itself has a list of tile types with a weighted random choice of which one it picks; so you're forest areas can still be populated with grass for example, but tree's are more common.
This is an effort by many. So cut that crap. If you have real doubts spell them out clearly.

Journalists e. g. from German Spiegel.de and other participating newspapers found and spoke directly with relatives of these people, and thus verified that the data leak is real.
So, laudable intent because some of the articles in the proposed regulation are dumb beyond measure

But it doesn't help their credibility that they made an entire article debunking the wrong entity

Of the three claims they "debunk" only the 90% of content being hosted in the EU was a claim made by the EU commission, specifically in 2020 by Johansson, the data seems to come from an NGO called Internet Watch Foundation [0] and it does seem unlikely (from a quick glance I think the 90% claim is about content reported within europe, which makes the statement more likely. But in any case it wouldn't matter because for the critical pieces of the legislation it's not a claim that would justify the measures anyway)

But in the other two points the website is constantly referring to this website:

https://human-rights-channel.coe.int/stop-child-sexual-abuse...

and acting as if the Eu commission authored it. The issue is that this website is hosted and authored by the Council of Europe (hence the coe.int domain), an entity entirely disjointed from the EU, of which the EU institutions aren't even a member. This is confusing to people because there are two organizations (European Council and Council of the European Union) which are part of the EU

While the intent of the article is laudable and the scanning parts of the regulation have got to go the "Trumpiest" part of this whole thing is the fact that this website made a whole debunking article based on such thorough research that they didn't even notice they were getting the subject of the debunking wrong

(on the positive side it looks like the german government also agrees, so the chances of those parts going away in amendments increased significantly [1])
