Same general difference: Pinecone is SaaS that's ready to go with a few API calls, while Milvus an open-source tool that requires work to set up, scale, and maintain.
Another fact is that the plane basically dove straight down. Even with catastrophic control failure, modern airliners just don’t do that.
Celebrities are used to being mouthpieces for various questionable products all the time. Their job is literally to sell their name and likeness. I have a far bigger problem with the so-called tech luminaries peddling this junk in various guises, from the likes of Musk, Altman, Dorsey, Thiel, A16Z, Ohanian, etc. on down. These are the people who lend a real air of legitimacy to the whole space, and I ultimately hold them responsible for the suckering of the regular folks. Musk is right about the dangers of mind-viruses. Too bad he and so many "visionaries" have already been infected by one of the worst.
The AI doesn't need to parse the source code. I haven't played Nethack, but based on the example given of writing ELBERETH in the dirt, the person training the model could add that to the potential actions being considered at each step and the model learns what it does by playing a million games.
This is a fascinating story. The PGA has done a terrible job of keeping players happy, and now they’re facing big money competition and banking on morals to hold players back from jumping ship. It’s worth noting that most of the guys who switched this season are either irrelevant, on the tail end of their careers, or controversial/disliked on the tour, so they don’t have a ton to lose. It’ll be interesting to see next season if we see big name “squeaky clean” players jump ship after the “villains” take the bad press this year.
Yes. Look up the German Wings case, flight 9525.

In short one pilot waited for the other to leave the cockpit, locked the door, and deliberately crashed the plane.

He was so suicidal and distraught (thought he was going blind and thus would lose his job) he was willing to do it.

If you read the full story it’s even sadder.
You're very carefully dodging the main point made by DonaldFisk: that it rarely matters how Scotland votes. Whoever England votes for, Scotland gets. We could've sent 59 Scottish Labour MPs to Westminster in each of the last three elections and it wouldn't have changed a thing, because England wanted a Conservative government.
Using iOS Navigator and Receiving Phone Calls Is Possible
Using navigator in iOS has been a struggle for everyone for a while.
Starting from issues that disallowed continuous phone calls with BT on while driving and made BT connections drop after few minutes, making drivers mess with the phone - was resolved long time ago.
And going through the major pain of new iPhone 13, which has best in class camera but has put Apple's attentions directed towards drivers' security, being held captive under a magnifying glass.

Many users has been complaining about the issues of making and receiving phone calls with Siri while driving and using navigator on cars that don't have support for CarPlay, but rather for older Bluetooth connected builtin screen systems.

The issue was that even after un-aknowlegdly making a phone call with voice command while driving in a car, IPhone has been requesting for you to swipe up with your hands from the home screen, look at the screen for face attention that checks your eyes to take action or type in your password after enough amount of failed attempts of FaceID to give up and prompt for pass code - and if not enough, then eventually click the button "I'm not the driver" just to get access to running navigator on the high way and turn in the right exit.

Thank you Apple.

Indeed solving the pass code and FaceID is possible by setting up pass code to be prompted after 4 hours, say, to let you drive and if the phone was locked to not to be asked for pass code again.

But the driving mode won't allow you to set driving focus in any other focus outside of driving focus because setting up focus automatically by connecting to car Bluetooth is possible only from the Driving Focus.

Meaning that you will need to swipe up from you phone home screen and click "I'm not the driver" while driving if the phone has been accidentally locked.

Solving it is possible, I'm not sure though from which version, by setting an Automation for Focus.

To eliminate the need to click the "I'm not driving" button while driving to access Waze or Apple Maps, download the app Shortcuts (similar to Automator on MacOS and OS X).

Once installed, setup a "Shortcut" while "Enabling Focus" for the Focus "Driving". Make the action be "Enable (another) Focus" and be it a new one - the one you want.

That's it, now you won't be bothered anymore by "I'm not driving" or any other interaction that requires attention to the phone while driving. You'll be able to operate now Waze and Apple Maps 100% by your voice.

I tried it and it works.

As a long-term investment, art and collectables are pretty high-risk. To the extent that we could guess what anything will be worth fifty years from now. Owning things like this are partly about bragging rights, a kind of dick-waving for the ultra-wealthy.
Whacky parsed as 'Slapdash'.
Firefox has a sub 8% market share, so I doubt this will make a drastic change to how they operate.
Also, have you all tried making a non-swe career work lately? How about for 5+ years?

In the last two years I've worked with hundreds of bootcamp students who have reached the end of their rope with 20th century career paths that no longer make any f-ing sense. From teachers to construction workers to bartenders to graphic designers. Not all of them have a deep love for writing software, but all of them recognize that its one of the only viable paths available if you don't want to have roommates into your 40s.

As my best friend told me in an abandoned bay area parking lot before I switched careers to swe, there just doesn't seem to be any other reliable way for people in our generation to make a living. Maybe it only applies to california, maybe it only applies to millennials, but having been on both sides of that fence now I 100% agree.
This is awesome! I will be able to check the prices without spinning up my old laptop's fan.

My preference for time is much longer-term. Trading too often can lead to ruin due to transaction fees (and/or emotion).

I'd use the 1 day, 30 day, and 365 day price changes instead of 1h, 24h, 7d.

Another small issue: I can't use autoscroll in Firefox because the whole page width is a link.
Same here. Hug of death.
I can remember a lot of discussion at that stage about linux vs. windows, open source vs. closed source, or which programming language is best. It all seems rather cute and quaint now.
Good luck if you spend 40-70 % of your working time in meetings and pair programming sessions, like I do.
Even then the dollar value is only the magic fantasy price you'd get if you could turn those coins into dollars but not affect the price by the fact of that sale.
every point in this article is just a fancy way of saying you should network and build connections. "Building a reputation" is just a bigger form of networking

Launching Previ: A new way to pay, directly from your paycheck
We started Previ with a mission to build something that could make a personal impact on the lives of people everywhere.

As inflation soars, gas prices skyrocket and housing becomes even more unaffordable, the biggest impact we can make is to help you keep more of your hard-earned money.

So… What is Previ?

Previ is the most rewarding way you can pay for things. It’s not a credit card, but a new way to pay, and it comes directly from your paycheck.

When you sign up for Previ, you will be able to pay bills and make purchases through us and receive absurd amounts of cash back.

Most credit cards only give you 1%-3% cash back. Previ will give you 10%-20% cash back.

Our aspirations are to build a new payment network that is as well known as Visa, Mastercard and American Express but has none of the downsides.

We want to make an immediate impact, so we are starting with something everyone has — a cell phone — and giving you 20% cash back on your monthly bill.

A family of 4 will earn $430/year in Previ Cash Back on their cell phone bill. Compare that to $35/year from leading credit card companies.

This isn’t an introductory offer like credit cards. You will get 20% cash back. Every. Single. Month.

Be the first to experience Previ and reserve your spot on the waitlist.

Go to www.previ.com to join the waitlist and we’ll put $15 into your Previ Cash Back account.
I like how you jump directly to crazy from gp's "contigent of people saying the media is hiding the truth". Do you see how your response is part of the problem? Instead of addressing issues brought up, its just a label slap and then dismissal. Yeah there are real crazies who also say those things, but they are dwarfed by the amount of normal people who don't trust media and with many good reasons.

I have a feeling it was the mention of "conspiracy theories" having a modern intellectual connotation of ridiculous, but its a shame because conspiracy is a legal term and it happens all the time, and there is a lot of good analysis left on the chopping block due to mere association with similar sounding phrases and conspiracy theorists being enough to shut down thought on the matter.
Yet another reason that we need to ensure that third party browsers are being used and in active development.

> In a verbal, synchronous conversation (a phone call), you can communicate extremely efficiently. Misunderstandings or doubts are detected and clarified instantly.

My anxious brain might just work differently here, but I’ve found that I communicate way more efficiently if I have a minute or two to turn something over in my head before I need to respond.

Even if I don’t grok it immediately, my clarifying questions will usually be much better because my mind has had time to work through the possible second-order effects of whatever we’re discussing without - and this is key - the social pressure of making someone sit and wait while you think.

This will only further entrench the big players (google, facebook, etc) while making it impossible for new & small players to compete. All of the services the big players offer effectively make working without universal cookies trivial.

For the small players though, without massive ad-supported service offerings like Gmail, Facebook (as a platform), etc, this will screw them completely.

Mind you, I'm a HUGE privacy advocate, so I like the new Firefox functionality... but the unintended side effects cannot be ignored.
I don't really understand why anyone would want to continue working for a company that doesn't want you.

Give me my severance (14 weeks for Coinbase) and let me go find something better to do.
They are giving everyone at least 14 weeks of severance, so that fulfills the requirements of the notice period.

Effectively, they are still employed, just not being given any work to do.
Is that basically the PrivacyBadger plugin integrated into Firefox? Can I uninstall it now?
Health care for my family of four is $5000/yr at my employee, although that’s pre-tax. If I were single it would be free. This covers essentially everything, I’ve had $10s of thousands of surgery for which I paid nothing myself. I never have to wait for medical care, I can just go same day whenever I want. Prescriptions cost me $0.

Health care in the US is only expensive if you are poor and unemployed, sad to say.

Stall recovery and intentional dives look very different.

1. In a stall recovery, you don't move the trim to the limit or move the throttles to idle and keep it there for tens of thousands of feet.

2. Planes don't want to keep going in a stable, near vertical dive. You have to force them into that position the entire way down. The flight path for stalls, breaking apart, and control problems are all shallower or slower.
Sharepoint management is one. Maybe that one is going away now in the age of Teams, or maybe there's conterintuitively more need than before. I know there's a lot of need for COBOL in old systems and nobody but NOBODY is picking up COBOL these days. Thing is with these type of gigs they are hard to find. It's the long tail of computer use. There isn't a job board titled "Dinosaur maintenance".
not much content here, a lot of its suggestions will not work

Hard work brings luck: You work on something so much that you attract luck. You tweet 5,000 times and nothing happens. But the next tweet gets a like from a big account and goes viral; you get thousands of new followers. This type of luck finds you only because you’ve hustled your way to it.

lol nope. This is the Edison myth: try something many times and eventually you succeed. this only works if there was ever potential for success in the first place. often there isn't.
Computer Science is like the physics of information and computability. Software Engineering is the other side of that coin, just like electrical or mechanical engineering is to physics.

It is not an unusual position to be in. For some reason, we train people in the theoretical and expect them to be good at applications. Don't worry too much, focus on picking up Software Engineering concepts and know you are in the same boat as most new grads.
It's all done by hand in go. Yes it uses the user agent to guess if the request comes from a terminal.
First, take a deep breath, and try to be less overwhelmed -- there IS a lot going on, but you can only do what you can do. And realize you've already put a big accomplishment on your side -- you completed a degree. You are able to take on a long term commitment and complete it -- that was a 3 or 4 year deal!
Next, stop fretting about what you DON'T know. There is no one out there that knows everything about all technologies.

You said you don't know how a DB works, or ray tracing. Are you building a DB engine, or doing stuff with computer graphics? If yes, then you have some learning to do. If no, then that's okay.
Find out what you WANT to do. C? Java? Python? Javascript/Node.js? ... and then look for spots where you can do more of that.

You asked whether you should "suck it up, get a tech support role" -- two things here. Financial situation is first -- can you afford to be a bit choosy, or do you need money right away? If you need cashflow, you might have to compromise.
If you have more flexibility, you can look further. One thing I suggest is finding a worthy (non-profit) project and seeing if you can help them while honing a skill.
For instance, if you want to be a full-stack developer, helping a project get a new or updated website online. Do it in stages; get something informational (plain html) to start, and then add dynamic stuff (events/news/signup) as you build confidence. You will get a reference and a live portfolio piece, and they get something that helps them.

Last but not least, realize this is an ever-changing field -- even if you were an expert in a tech last week, next week it might be fading from fashion. As long as you are willing to learn, I think you'll be good.
> asynchronous communication is more efficient is a fallacy

Nobody said it is efficient. It's good for certain situations. People are doing various things throughout the day and they don't always have time to hop on a call.

But of course, when both parties are completely free and asynchronous communication hits a bottleneck, you can easily switch to synchronous.
Okay:

1) you visit to www.somesite.com

2) it serves an ad <iframe src="www.google.com/givemeanad?userforme=waps&hespent=500"

3) your browser does a request to google. It sends:

a) your login cookie from your gmail session (or ...)

b) the referrer header tells it which site to serve the ad on

c) any information the site itself wants to attach to the request

4) Google/Microsoft/Apple store this information and can provide advertisers with your identity, all sites you visit that have their ads, the "flow" (what you visited in what order, e.g. how far did you get in an ordering funnel) and any information those sites share about your account on their site.

I'm interested in knowing why whenever AI touches human faces it turns into nightmare soup? There must be a reason. I'm aware of how acutely familiar we are with recognising human faces, but this isn't the uncanny valley, it's just horrific.
There are also legit use cases for leaving all your doors unlocked. But they usually aren't really worth considering when you are installing your doors/locks.
I don't think the problem lies in the West. Nobody is going to burn natural gas in our own country when it can be exported at prices that internal buyers would never to able to pay. By diverting it to our own market and subsidizing the price further the government would be losing insane amounts of money. But even building more coal-based power stations and connecting more houses to central heating would go a long way towards improving the air quality (since they use scrubbers to remove particulates from emissions, and the only thing you have to be afraid of are things like SO₂). Nobody seems willing to do even that, the situation keeps getting worse.

> The same world where fascism isn’t associated with the far right.

I made no such argument. Fasicm isn't associated with the actual, modern day right wing of politics.

This is why "far right" is such a slippery and nefarious term. It allows you to conflate right wing politics and facsism.

If you think the Tories are fascist, then make that argument. Don't hide behind this newspeak.
It's amazing how quickly we forget history, apparently ignoring the bank crisis of the 1980s and complete failure of FSLIC. Multiple banks collapsed costing tax payers billions of dollars and the institution the government created to insure deposits failed spectacularly.
> When German people in 1922 became angry because most jews had enough money for food, while many Germans went hungry

Even if this were true, and it isn’t, people didn’t start believing in anti-Jewish propaganda because the Jews had more to eat than the average German. People always believed in crazy anti-Jewish propaganda since, at least, the first crusade.
I also write Python with type annotations and the type checker keeps getting better and better, though I find it's often not strictly necessary, at least for small projects. The most important thing is to keep the code simple to understand and follow, then you can write great software in dynamically typed languages as well.

Also have Typescript experience but in general I'm not a big fan of gradually typed programming languages, static typing works best in languages that were designed for it from the ground up and that offer an expressive type system, e.g. C++ or Rust.
They make their money from the large cryptocurrency trading market and focus on allowing more speculative tokens to be traded. They probably correctly assess that the market of people who want to use Bitcoin for daily transactions is comparatively insignificant.

Exactly, the fact that an assent went from $20 to $20,000 once doesn't tell us much. This is why in financial economics the variable of interest is returns, not price. Statistical analysis of returns will tell us what return to expect if we hold the asset over a random time period of a certain length, which is what happens in practice.
> However, I feel like I barely know anything.

Entirely normal thing to feel.

Totally normal for a new grad.

> I don't know how databases work

Few do. If you're curious, you can read about it (or even write your own database engine; it's fun!), but generally people won't expect you to know about database internals.

> I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode

That's probably more down to practice with that sort of problem than anything else.

Honestly I think you're probably worrying too much about it. No-one's expecting you to be an expert on everything, or even really anything, as a new-grad; new-grads generally aren't.
