> reinforcing English as the global language

Which might also result in new speakers modifying English to their cultures (like Blade Runner's Cityspeak), and Global-English speakers not understanding "secret" foreign communication, so they might create new languages for their own subcultures, then relegating English as the new Latin for technical knowledge (Latin was kept by the Catholic Church).
Came to say the same and searched for freshdesk before posting. This has to be one of the biggest ones.
Frankly, that is quite improbable. Unless you can work over time to replace the brain piecewise so it integrates with non biological parts, transfer of consciousness is not happening

This looks awesome for support teams building their internal tools!
I bought a Amazon warehouse Titan V, got an empty box. Amazon asked me to return the empty box after I called their customer support, so I did.
Then they denied the return saying I only returned the accessories… They kept claiming they would look into it and refund me each time I called, but then would reply 48 hours later saying they never received my return. I opened a chargeback case, and they actually lied to my credit card company that I had never returned anything at all and that my return was rejected. When I called amazon, they then told me they had processed my return and that I should have been refunded. I also filed a complaint with the AG my state, and they lied to them as well claiming no return was ever requested (this was perjury).

Sometime when I have more energy I’ll find a lawyer.
This is just one of the many ways of "proving" that people in developing nations are somehow inferior. The same people that grew up with poor nutrition perform quite well when relocated to other countries. While in developed regions there are people with access to food yet dumb like a kite. I think we should be careful with the conclusions we draw. Certainly nutrition, let alone disease or parasites, can lead to reduced mental performance, but deriving the fact that the developing world is somehow suffering from reduced mental power, because of food, as a whole is wrong and in my view dangerous.
> ...thus there is a limit to how many bits fpos_t may contain

Yes, but my point was that a `fgetpos` mustn't work for all FILE pointers, take for example `stdin`.

The standard quotes from my above comment show that a FILE pointer mustn't support “positioning requests”, so fgetpos mustn't work.
I'm doing a comp-bio PhD right now, and the more I learn about the process of playing with genes, the further I think we are from expanding intelligence with them.

In the current state of the field, we simply don't know how cells work (in enough detail). We can't predict what cells do when genes are mutated, we definitely can't manufacture new genes that slot into the cell's existing machinery, and, for a lot of the proteins related to neurons in particular, we don't even know what they do.

If there is a breakthrough, it'll take luck at this point, and probably be something stupid, like realizing we can double production of some cell type without hurting the child *too* much. We're really not close to engineering anything, which might be a requirement for producing more intelligence without some very clumsy side effects.

Given the level of trial and error required for a lucky breakthrough, and the human cost of that error, we might just give up on this until the singularity anyways. That said, there's so much undiscovered now that there could be a perfect mechanism that just isn't known yet. And, indirectly, by just making sure people don't have allergies or a pre-disposition to heart disease... we might increase intelligence just by making people healthier.
The funniest part of that for me was the “friend lamenting the loss of his girdle”
> If the complaint is, "Supermajorities aren't a Democracy"

Is anybody actually saying that? For what its worth, I do think super majorities are corrosive long term for the multiparty Westminster style parliamentary systems. There is little incentive for compromise building or genuine debate on bills. It might even work if political parties had visible internal debate and discussion, and we can largely agree that this is not a thing in Indian political parties.
GraphQL is a big deal: Why isn’t it the industry standard for database querying?
This is out of the scope of a text editor. Instead, you could write a script to convert your text to HTML.
Geothermal has serious issues if water flow is not kept constant - dissolved minerals in the borehole water are just waiting for an excuse to crystallize/precipitate, and it’s already an issue at most active running plants, even when run continuously. Silica crystallization on heat exchangers, for instance, is a constant maintenance cost.

Stopping the flow (and letting it cool in the pipes ) for any length of time or with any frequency could mean not being able to ever start it again.
That is like saying if sushi knifes are already sharp enough, there is no issue cutting fish with a samurai sword instead, except at least with the knife maybe the damage isn't as bad.
CI isnt as good, there aren't any options as advanced as Gitlab, except maybe Jenkins.
Just do both.

It's a flaw with latex as far as I'm concerned.

In terms of crypto, it's basically just a matter of an apparent inability of people to agree on the value of each unit of promise.

In terms of crypto, it's basically just a matter of a an endless number of get rich quick schemes launched without limits or restrictions --- virtually anyone can create and issue crypto at any time as a means to try and enrich themselves.

How many are needed before people start to catch on to the fact that they all have similar value --- basically zero?

And then there are the costs and delays associated with processing transactions.

Future generations will laugh at the fact that this was really nothing new. We've been there, seen that and done that in the past with every bank issuing it's own currency. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

> what makes Fox News less official?

You're kidding, right? Fox 'News', is "entertainment", not news. Beyond their very obvious bias they don't air anything resembling a news story, only manufacturing outrage through having an opinion. They don't engage in any critical analysis what-so-ever. Their credibility is non existent and quite literally on pair with a tabloid magazine. Fox is officially, not 'News'. Having an opinion about something, is not news. Entitled to that opinion, sure. But passing it off as a claim of 'noteworthy recent events', is absolutely despicable.

formless vitriol to the out group, designed to control.

It's... not easy at all. Over the past 7-ish months I've gradually, but severely, lost faith and interest in the product I develop at work. Once I realized I no longer cared, and the only thing keeping me from quitting is a paycheck (a realization I only had about three weeks ago), I started taking the first baby steps towards switching careers to something more fulfilling.

It's easy enough for people to say "everyone hates their job, find fulfillment on your own time" -- but when working 40+ hours a week, and presumably sleeping 56-ish hours a week, that's a ridiculous suggestion. Nearly 60% of your life or more is meant to be unfulfilling and miserable? If that's true, then society is severely broken.

What I'm saying is, it's hard, and it shouldn't be expected. The fact that it's so existentially risky to try to find fulfillment in life is depressing and terrifying, but if it works out, it's worth leaving the misery behind.

Sure there is, Apple has done the same kind of bundling Microsoft got busted for.

If you want to make a claim, source it.

Given the difficulty of defining an objective measure for intelligence and the confounding factors of upbringing, I think it is almost impossible to find a good source on this sort of thing. Why should we go on a snipe hunt to prove your point?
Most people have the notion that journalists build some level of expertise in a topic and interview multiple relevant experts before offering their honest take which, although as vulnerable to human error as anything, has incorporated feedback from principal sources.

The fact that most journalism is aggregating snippets from press releases and recombining them into a particular favored narrative stance is surprising to many and takes away from the imagined value that journalists add.
At the end of the day, it is about engineering. I'm self taught as a programmer, and I have also translated the latest deep learning paperwork into live code, AND i have novel research and experiments in code repos (not papers).

The thing lacking is a hacker's credibility as an ML researcher, which i think is ironically preposterous given the self-teaching of complex domains with engineered proof.

I don't see what an PhD has on the class of self taught hackers is what I'm trying to say. Just kidding, I know the answer is that they are trained in a certain institutional mentality. Give me my downvotes.
But if practically nobody wants it, is that a real problem?
But your services have to support the Connect protocol. You can also ship services that support gRPC-Web directly too & run without a proxy.

This is definitely a step up, nicely convenient. But also, it has downsides too. gRPC is incredibly well supported by a huge number of observability tools and service-layers/service-mesh systems. Few have support for gRPC-Web. Which if any have support for Connect-Web?

In general, it's just massively sad that the browser never got around to making HTTP Push useful for protocols. gRPC should have been positioned to do great things, was a very common-sense overlay atop HTTP2 that provided just a little more semantics to say how things ought work. It triangulated nicely on where we were going, at it's inception, back in 2014/2015. But the browser basically never evolved, never gave developers access to do the good stuff we thought we'd start to have access to. I still see brand new specs that shout out to the Low Level Extensibility Manifesto[1], but for some reason, in terms of the most base layer of the web, HTTP, this simple guidance has been roundly ignored & the capabilities were never delivered. So gRPC has been stuck with a pretty ok protocol, & frustratingly discompatible browser.

The etc.. seems to imply you support more languages than Go Python and Rust.
Do you support C#?
Also part of the issue: most new content that people look for isn't in text form anymore. It's mostly image and video. Yeah, they have YT, but that's not where the younger generations are. Google can't (or at least doesn't) index every 5 second tiktok or days and days of twitch VODs. Either for legal reasons or because it's just too much data that's too difficult to parse usefully. For Google's sake I hope it's not the latter.
Essentially yes ... it can be the query engine for many databases at the same time.
You are asking whether pedantic is derived from pedant? I assume so. It can both mean like a pedant (emphasizing minutiae) or it can mean just dull, as we often think of classroom activities being dull, which is similar to didactic, although pedantic is probably only used in the negative sense where as didactic still has more neutral/positive usage in addition to meaning dull. So I am not sure if Pedantic ever meant generally to be related to teaching by design or intent.
I think most of the comments assume that machine learning engineering equals machine learning. This is always not true. If you are an MLE, chances are that you work on the infrastructure and data pipeline side of things rather than on the research. If you are lucky, you get to productionize a prototype, which might involve re-writing it, or you might get to build an in-house hugging face. You absolutely do not require a phd to do this.

Then there are these other roles which involve prototyping new ways to train a model, or taking a paper from 5 months ago and see if it works for your use case. Or you know, just work on something that you can eventually publish. At FAANG, these are usually the "Research Scientist" or "Applied Scientist" roles. Most of these require a phd, but it's completely possible to get an offer with just a masters (I did), and I know of at least one case where the person "only" had a bachelors (and some experience). But by far the most straight-forward way to break into these roles is to have a phd.

In what way does this sound dystopian? Ideally this is a protein source without the nasty externalities of intensive agriculture and it can exist in places and spaces that aren't typically conducive to food production.

Ideally, yes, plant based diets would dominate, but the idea of turning renewable energy into supplemental foodstuff sounds like a huge win to me.

Right, but immediacy is already solved. The streaming side is solved by platforms already, and the translation side is solved by having a sweatshop of translators and maybe eventually algorithms to help, too. We've had immediacy for some time now, already.

Moving on, I don't think you will see changes prominently on anichart or MAL anytime soon; the point is that it's gradual and more subtle than that. Crunchyroll was already involved with 60 productions apparently. Conceptually, in a hypothetical "worst case", they could have been influencing artistic choices for each of those programs. We do know they did one: High Guardian Spice is a particularly explicit example of an anime deliberately constructed to western progressive specifications. A lot of people are rather unkind about it, but that's really immaterial; what it really is is a clumsy first attempt at end-to-end control of the anime pipeline from script, to production, to distribution. They didn't find a winning formula with it, but they'll keep trying because there's too much money on the table.

So, I do think that this change in tone is imminently about to happen. Weatern values have already been injected in other forms in localized content too, e.g. in our uptightness about certain types of expressions of sexuality (e.g. that which is perceived to be pervy; e.g, the infilling of "boob-windows" and covering of midriffs in localized games), and with activist translators who deliberately whitewash phrases they find problematic and also who select progressive translation choices over neutral ones.

The bottom line to me is that the money men have zero interest in the integrity of the mediums in which they dabble. As you note, there's precedent; in the 90's, it was 4kids dubs which routinely butchered shows, sometimes extremely. The nature of the interference will change with the standards of the day, but the fundamentals don't.

Ask HN: Has anyone taken this OOUX course? Opinions?
Hello HN!!!

I'm a youngling when it comes to UX/UI, I've actually stumbled on this type of work in my last working situation, and now I'm just finishing my Google certification via Coursera.

In my initial search for courses for UX/UI design I stumbled across Sophia Prater's website and podcast and have been trying to implement some of the teachings she's released while completing my Google UX design cert aside from reading her released educational items.

https://www.ooux.com/

I would just like to know if anyone has actually taken her masterclass and/or self-paced course, what did you think about it, what is good/bad about utilizing it in real project situations in your opinion, and was the certification worth it or is the self-paced class enough?

I found a supplementary course for interaction design and another for psychology driven design that I will be taking, so I'm basically trying to figure out if this is a worthwhile course to undertake as well.

Thanks for letting me pick your brains!
Thing is, labeling all the minority owned businesses obviously makes it easy to also find white owned businesses by elimination.
Covid and remote work are going to make this even more true. At my new job I work with a Nigerian co-worker who lives in Nigeria, he speaks clear & proper English and earns an amazing salary for his area.

If you live in a third world country, you could really benefit from remote work going forward and English will be a popular language to learn for that. That being said, I know some people will 'phone it in' and not speak as clearly, which will put them at a disadvantage.
>> charity that makes is easier for illegal migrants to find housing

How is that illegal? Illegal immigrants may be in the country illegally, but that doesn't mean that everything they do while in the country is also illegal. We don't have outlawry anymore. Such concepts don't work in the modern world.
Studio shot material is definitely a bit more exaggerated and more selective with their performers. However, I don't really have the impression that amateur shot stuff is "showing wholesome normal sex". Some studios do produce more realistic video but in my experience the amateur stuff is just worse lit and self shot. Still usually made by someone just trying to get a few quick bucks.

Decentralised stablecoins, such as Dai, do exist, and the price of Dai does manage to maintain its peg pretty well. Not all decentralised stablecoins have done as well (most notably TerraUSD) though, it's definitely hard to design an algorithmic stablecoin that maintains its peg.
They certainly haven't done it yet, though some things viewed in this perspective seem on the spectrum. The iOS 14 change of tracking preferences to opt-in absolutely put a knife in Meta's advertising business.

And, sure, it can be viewed as a privacy feature, and that's great. So what happens next year when Apple rolls out their own user-targetted ad system based on the same tracking data they disallowed to competitors?

It's a slippery slope for sure. Apple deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I don't see how anyone would look at this as good news.

No idea about TikTok (never used it, or Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/etc.); however, that sounds similar to the "groups" feature of Identi.ca (now GNUSocial).
