For the humans. I very much doubt the pig sees it that way (or would see it that way, if they were human).

Don’t misunderstand me, I love meat, and while I think that killing pigs (at least someone else killing pigs) is acceptable for that purpose, I would have a harder time justifying killing a whole pig to keep someone alive a little longer. For the same reasons we don’t just raise humans as cattle to use as organ transplant sources. We tell ourselves that it is acceptable with pigs, and while this certainly makes it easier on the humans (and they grow faster), I’m not sure it’s fundamentally different.
I would fully support withdrawing 100% of our aid and support and letting the EU defend itself. Very tired of giving my taxes to you guys.
I love stackoverflow. I think it's great for what it tries to solve and far exceeds sites like Quora.

But for articles the alternatives: Dzone, Hacker Noon and medium publications such as Better Programming, etc. aren't great either.

Years ago after our DBA was let go and I took on a significant portion of their responsibilities, my job told me I needed to get MySQL certified. The sign up page for the course they wanted me to take at the time only worked in IE and I only had Macs at home and in the office. I never got around to installing a VM just to sign up. I’m still doing the same job like 8 years later so I’m guessing it really wasn’t that important.
We may not know what causes rejection, but are pretty good at seeing the signs of it. Extreme example: if a house collapses, you may not know immediately why it collapsed, but all the debris on the ground is a pretty good sign it's not in one piece anymore.
No. That's a frankly ridiculous strawman. Taking something somebody says to an extreme strawman is not arguing in good faith.
2 months severance?

If the country you’re in doesn’t provide unemployment benefits then this is too low IMO.

In The Netherlands, unemployment after 6 months of working means you get about 70% of your gross salary paid for 3 months.

I would at least make it 3 months, especially in today’s economic environment.
To become fully sentient is to become automatically, spontaneously moral because sentience is a shared property of all beings, "All are One", and when that is fully realized then harming another being is no more logical or reasonable than harming yourself.

The thing to worry about is not that we create a conscious machine, it's that we create a sculpture of a mind and give it enough power to "Kill all humans!".

I think it's far too late: Modern corporations are AIs with humans as the neural nodes. From that POV the attempt to create AGI is the attempt to remove humans from the loop(s), which seems like the single worst security policy of all (to me.)
Public nudity laws are authoritarian!
Agreed, I’ve only recently learned (at a high level) how a clutch works, and it has zero impact on how I use it on the street.

Even off-road, I really only need to know to not ride it all the time.
Certs were mildly useful 10 years ago in launching my career. After the first job no one cared, I’d imagine a boot camp does the same now.

There is a category of company/role that really just needs some basic proof point that you know what your doing.

My first job was auditing user permissions, and refactoring Perl/bash scripts. There was a department of 9 people who provisioned a server once every 1-3 months using a mix of proprietary and open source software, they were also responsible for the operations of the legacy financial service the company offered.

I got the job, because it was boring, contract to hire, and probably a career dead end, had a brutal on all schedule, a penchant for firing people over mistakes, low paid, and made you wear a suit to work. It didn’t hurt that I memorized the answers to 100 Linux admin questions.

I left after a year and a half for a much better tech job at a startup, and transitioned to a standard engineer position within the year.
Legislation has similar layout & typography.

Picking a bill at random... CA State Senate 2021-22 SB-54

Here's the human readable version, with changes inlined (a nice touch). https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

Here's the same in the official format. Note the line numbers in the left margin. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billPdf.xhtml?bill_...

As a noob, I'm not crazy about monospace, huge margins, and single column.

But it's a terrific UX for paper-bound parliamentary processes predating digital media. Similar to law books, the page and line numbers allow unambiguous content addressing.

Do we even have a digital standard? Purple numbers? https://communitywiki.org/wiki/PurpleNumbers XPath expressions or CSS selectors?
Isn't killing a pig for meat technically "killing a whole pig to keep someone alive a little longer" too?

I'm a little baffled by your ethical calculus here. Raising pigs for muscle to eat seems substantially less ethical than raising pigs for organs to transplant; you can eat plant-based alternatives, but good luck pumping blood with a soybean.
Actually you don't need a mental model of the clutch at all for that. You just need to know how to handle steep inclines. There's a technique for that. All you need to know for that is the fact that on a steep incline you will go back a bit until your clutch has a chance to get you moving forward against the hill and that in this case you need to apply that technique. Like knowing when to use rebase, when to use cherry-pick etc. Now why you will roll back on the steep hill is not something a normal operator of a car needs to understand. Neither the clutch part nor the gravity one actually.

Also, if he's literally 3 inches, I would say the best approach is to slowly ease off the brakes until you actually touch the other car but do it so slowly that it's not an impact. All without even pushing the clutch. Then you don't even need to use the brake while pushing the gas pedal trick, because the guy behind you is your brake pedal ;)
I picked up my RHCSA this past year, seeing the rise in inflation I wanted an advantage for merit increases. I'll let ya know in a few weeks if I did better than my peers. I work in Higher Ed so I already get paid less than industry average.
> Sentences like “People playing cricket with a tennis bat” and “People playing tennis with a cricket bat” have very high similarity scores even though we know that they are different sentences.

when i first looked up sentence embeddings several years ago i was quite surprised how often it was recommended to just take the mean of the word embeddings composing the sentence, as i thought it must be too simple and make this kind of mistake. (also, i just wasn't convinced that you could summarize a sentence's meaning by averaging the words it contains) but, this was before transformers, and i figured by now that sentence embeddings had gotten more sophisticated so I'm a little uncertain why modern, large models would have the same problem.
It’s very easy to sympathize with the pig. But, if a doctor came into the room and said “a pig or your daughter” what would anyone say?
The whole concept of emission standards and carbon taxes only makes sense if it's applied and enforced globally and uniformly. If an extra tonne of CO2 costs $1 in U.S. and $0 in China, the incentive isn't to reduce pollution - the incentive is to move business to China.

Europe has been playing the blind green eye politics for a decade - all pretending to be green and environmentally friendly, while in fact largely replacing locally sourced coal with imported Russian gas. North America has been doing the same with declaring many industries too dirty, and happily moving them out to China along with the jobs, knowledge and capital.

The planet doesn't give a damn which meridian that CO2 comes from. The effect is global and cumulative, and there are many ways to actually lower it without killing local jobs - nuclear, biodiesel, decentralized production requiring less transportation. But the media never considers that - instead the public is weaponized against the remaining local businesses, largely ignoring the big picture.

It's almost like they are owned by the people heavily benefiting from moving production overseas...
Couldn’t agree more that narrative is the key. If you’re telling a compelling story (which can look very different for different audiences), you kind of get the rest for free, because you will have the reader’s attention.
That’s a great solution until we have to deal with something like the black plague and find that we have nobody that ever researched anything similar to it.

Then instead of 1% of the world population we lose 30%.

On a personal project I run 2 metaprogramming passes, compile the entire project (~2m LoC) _twice_ and run the entire test suite in < 30s on a laptop from 2010.

I don't run a linter because I hate them, and my metaprogramming passes do a bit of extra static checking clang doesn't. I occationally run extra static tools (valgrind et. al) but they're painfully slow and very rarely catch anything.

I cannot reply for that person, but to me a certification would mean that you know a given subject, so I could ask more in-depth questions and expect better answers than the average candidate. Sometimes this is the case (and if so then getting a certification is not harmful in my opinion), but often it just gives you a very high level, very passing understanding of the subject so candidates just end up being judged against a higher bar without the tools/skills to match it.
Whether profit or non-profit, I think it's important that the voard represents the stakeholders of the organisation. And for a for-profit company that means not just the shareholders, but also the employees, the customers, and any other societal interests. For a non-profit, that probaboy means the donors, the employees and people representing whatever problem the organisation is addressing.

Random celebrities with no clear stake or responsibility sounds like a bad idea.
Yeah, so... when I see layoffs, and I've been retained (presumably because they think I'm somewhat better than whomever was laid off), my first step is to look for a new job. Which means the company ends up with even less staff.

In my situation you end up with the 'worst' half, but they're also the ones least likely to leave since they have fewer prospects.
Weirder to me is that the limit being quoted is an absolute limit of tons/year, when the plant has doubled LNG output over time, and has plans to expand further.

It's certainly possible something's amiss here, but the detail is scant.

As far I went down the ancient sanskrit traditions, I also think this numbering system has deep ties to numerology, astrology and derived spiritual disciplines like raga (classical carnatic music, hindustani) and classical dances like Kathak, all of which are studied through numbers, patterns and thus math. Though I'm sure I'm missing something.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but isn't Android already Linux? What's the advantage of installing another distro?

I thought the whole point of Android is to make a curated touch friendly Linux experience. If you want a more traditional distro, wouldn't a touchscreen laptop (yoga etc.) be a better choice, if only for x86 support?

> he's against the extreme "everything is an object" version of OOP

I totally agree with you. I think he focuses on this style because it's generally what's taught in Universities, and he also has tons of tutorials geared towards students. So he's exposing his audience to the idea that some OOP principles are good, but overly adhering to the paradigm (in the way that would get you a 100% grade in an OOP class in college) is actually a bad way to program in general.

I wonder whether a carbon taxes with tariffs, from countries which don't have them, could solve this. Let's say a product get produced in China and imported into the EU. If it's not carbon-neutral, slap a tariff on.
If I could Snopes-whack just one persistent myth in this debate, it would be that one. It’s completely untrue. And the WIV used the human population of Wuhan as a control in their experiments because there was so little exposure to zoonotic viruses within that population.

I’m not entirely sure where this pernicious myth started. I do remember Maggie Koerth pushing that line on Twitter with some kind of smug joke at some point, and it getting lots of enthusiastic upvotes. When it was later pointed out that Koerth had got it wrong, she pretended that by claiming the WIV had been built in the area to study bat coronaviruses, the area she had in mind was “China”. This is like arguing that it makes perfect sense to set up a lab in New York to study rattlesnakes. (Of COURSE you would; the USA is where the rattlesnakes are!)

So Shi Zhengli’s comment makes perfect sense, and was not taken out of context. The WIV was not studying bat-borne sarbecoviruses in Hubei, and had not been set up there to do so. All the interesting viruses were down in Yunnan, a thousand miles away. She meant exactly what she said.
Certs and the studying associated with certs has always been the biggest unlock in my career. The MCSE gave me a 50% salary uplift in the early 2000’s and the Cisco CCNA/CCNP gave me an invaluable networking background in the mid aughts. Recently, the AWS certs have given me an opportunity to pivot from management back into the technical realm and given me the confidence and framework to think about IT problems in a whole different way (traditional IT vs Cloud native) Throughout my life I’ve always done better by investing in myself and my learning, and certs have always been a huge part of that. My investments, stocks, startups, etc. have always been hit or miss, but my skills and the opportunities they have opened have been huge unlocks. Certs are a structured way to achieve those unlocks and represent them in the professional world. For all the cynicism one hears about certs, my experience has been the exact opposite, I’d do them all over again - I’ve learned a ton and had a rewarding career.
For these particular rights, I think we should have a flexible kinship designation system. I don't see why you would have to have exclusivity for this right. In the madness over 'equality', I think we avoided a much better system for these rights.
A software engineering degree is an academic degree, not a vocational certificate.

Look at this syllabus for a 4-year degree in software engineering. [0] It's broadly similar to what we'd expect of a computer science degree. Topics include:

• Computer architecture

• Compilers

• Computer graphics

• Cryptography

• Deep learning

• Software verification

The average self-taught web developer has a working knowledge of none of these fields.

I was relieved.

Copilot currently is very far from being able to cut 33% of the time spend writing code, let alone 33% of the working time of the average software engineer.

In 3-4 years - maybe, but not now.

That being said, luddism was a thing for obvious reasons and it's not clear to me that we will be able to create any jobs at all post automation with this type of AI models. At the very least what will happen is that human intelligence will be devalued significantly in the job market.

Transplantation of organs from animals into humans has been tried in the past. Because of that, we know what full on rejection of non-human organs looks like.

It sounds like this was actually quite successful in that the immune system didn’t immediately start attacking it, as would be the case with a normal pig heart.

I don't have any despite studying the material for a lot of them. I hate the entire cert industry and actively discourage it. It hasn't hindered me yet with my career path. Although, I'm pretty open with employers that I don't believe in certs and will never get one. I will however study the material they produce if its worthwhile.

Sentence embeddings have precisely the limitations you'd expect for syntax-only correlative models, which is what they are.

We forget this at our peril.

Sometimes we also forget that semantics also exist, but “you can’t argue with a zombie” was already posted recently …
Correct. I'll need to take classes. I found an online masters in accounting that's AACSB accredited https://onlinemsa.illinois.edu/

I'll knock that out then take the charter exam, if I pass then I'll consider doing part time work as an accountant for two years to get the hours.
> I find people are religious about being git cli purists […] we have state of the art GUI tools

I would humbly suggest you avoid framing it that way, even if you believe it’s true. From someone who is only sometimes a cli advocate, my immediate assumption is that your opinion here may be formed out of naïveté and a bit of fear of the cli.

Please note I’m actually quite a fan of using various GUI tools for basic git workflows, and things like branching diagrams and even diffs are much better in GUI tools than in the console. Some of the tools are damn good and damn convenient most of the time. So you’ll get a huge amount of agreement from me about the benefits of sometimes using GUIs.

But git was designed around the command line, and there are no GUI tools (Kraken included) that have UI for everything or even most of what git can do. Advanced workflows and repo spelunking often require the command line. Using the cli is the only interface that can do everything, and it’s the advanced interface, so telling people who are already advanced (possibly more advanced than you) and already comfortable on the command line that they’ll find enlightenment in GUI tools isn’t always or even generally true. It’s not hard on the command line to see everyone else’s remote branches. Better to listen to them, and suggest GUI tools only when they express frustration about their workflow that you think a GUI can help with. Also perhaps better to ask the about CLI workflows and find out some of the benefits. One benefit is that CLI workflows are always usable over basic ssh connections.

And worth mentioning, the question’s partially moot for people using Github or other hosting services where some GUI tools are built-in. Using the CLI for all interactions with Github, and using the site for the visualizing diffs & branches is totally reasonable.

> I’ve worked on teams that just didn’t rebase at all and I think people are oblivious to the mess they make

I have to fully back you up and agree there! It’s unfortunate that rebase is a little scary and that some people just don’t like it. Rebasing local work before publishing it is the way git was designed to work, and it’s extremely helpful for creating a history that’s not insane. Squash commits are better than nothing I guess, but you can really tell and appreciate when people are comfortable with rebase and care whether their history is presentable.
Our first year consists of a pretty intense dive into programming, with many assignments for which we provide starter material. And for that we want all students to run a predictable environment. Also, dual booting helps some students to cleanly separate course work from gaming. :-)

A few students (those whose laptops we could not convince to run Linux) work within a VM, but that experience is comparatively miserable.
Sad we are so against nuclear.
Agreed, it's unfortunate these points get drowned out by: "but, but per capita emissions! Fairness! 'Developing countries'!"

My understanding of the article was that the perpetrator was hit with a genuine DMCA notice that he was upset about. It seemed his plan was to generate these fake notices with the hope that they'd be noticed and rolled back, and in the confusion, he could get his notice rescinded as well.

> The facility is now allowed to chuff out some 353 tons per year of VOCs

For context, the facility liquefies 15 million tons of methane per year [1].

Also for context, the annual US VOC emissions in 2021 were 12 million tons [2].

353 tons is 0.003% of that.
