I had an argument with my boss about this. He is a business owner and pretty successful one, and he calls the lottery a poverty tax, or a stupidity tax. If it were a game you play in Vegas, then he’d be right.

It’s my opinion that just buying one ticket, for say $2, essentially is a trivial and inconsequential amount of money that exposes you to incredible upside. Imagine if the ticket only cost a penny. At that point it’s practically free, but free exposure to life changing wealth. I don’t know if that counts as zero to 1 according to Peter Thiel, but it’s basically zero to something, for essentially nothing
There is an upside to credit cards over debit cards -- you haven't given up your own money until you pay the credit card balance. This is an important way to keep yourself safe.

My wife had her debit card compromised and some money taken and that money is gone. She filed a police report and disputed it with her bank and, after sometime, was able get her money back. If there is fraud on a credit card, the situation is very different because you haven't lost any money. There may be some fraudulent charges that need disputing but during that time you're still entirely whole.

And that applies to any number of goods and services as well. If you paid cash for something and didn't receive what you paid for, you're out that money. On credit card, you're whole until you make a payment.

In my opinion, nobody should be using debit cards if they have the option to use a credit card. It's safer, there's usually some rewards, and there's often added purchase insurance. I broke an expensive phone one week after purchasing it and the repairs were covered by my credit card.

It’s a bit janky for what you want do to, but if you have any Sonos S1 device with an input, you should be able to group that device with whatever other speakers you want playing the audio input. (And if that input device is a speaker that you don’t want playing, you can turn the volume all the way down.)

The problem for self driving cars is the risk tolerance. No one cares if a deep fake tool fails once every 100,000 hours because it results in a sub standard video instead of someone dying.
In technical writing, which is often trying to be as concise as possible, active voice usually allows the shortest sentences, which, as a practice, tend to be more clear.

However, there are instances when the passive voice is important and should be used. For instance, if you are trying to put an emphasis on the fact that a subject receives an action. This can often be done in a passively voiced sentence where you clarify a certain relationship. In other words, passive voice can be an important part of adding context.

The idea that you should never use passive is largely just people hearing a rule and thinking it is the end all be all. In reality, you're better off learning what both types of structure do, and then choosing one or the other with a specific goal in mind.
A deeper consolidation of insights from Neo-Confucian philosophy, including the elucidation of the grand ultimate 太極 and duality of form (理) and material force (氣), schematized in the diagrams of, among others, the tenth-century northern Song Dynasty thinker Zhou Duni 周敦頤 and the Korean Joseon-era philosophers Kwon Keun 권근 and especially Yi Toegye 이퇴계 in his "10 Diagrams on Sagely Learning 聖學十圖".
It's much quicker to add complexity than remove it. Dedicating some devs to cleanup while others continue trashing the code seems unlikely to work.

An argument against starting over is the same organisation that built a mess the first time is at risk of building a similar mess for version 2.

You might do better by moving to the feature work side of that conflict.

Why should we judge good novelist based on being too novel to understand for average person? Should I call myself better than others, because some don't know Kubernetes? That would be poor way to judge in general and for me, it's not ok to gatekeep knowledge in any way.
> I have two laptops. One with a old school barrel plug and the other with USBC, and the USBC charges faster as it has more wattage.

This is not a limitation of the barrel plug, it's a limitation of your laptop or charging brick not being able to use or provide a higher rate. I have a barrel plug laptop with a 170W adapter. USB-C chargers above 100W move into 'exotic' range and none go above 100W at 20V, the cables can't move that much current without heating up.

HF makes great tools for one-off or very occasional use.

I wouldn’t have an issue picking up a HF welder if I only had one or two things to use it on. Any more than that and I’d be watching pawn shops and Facebook Marketplace for a used, better-quality version.
I did the same hack, except using two Symfonisk's and just connecting the existing speaker lines to a pair of floorstanding two-way speakers (Kef iQ70 from the 2010's).

The little amp in the Symfonisk is plenty powerful to drive these large speakers. The crossover is completely off by default, but by using Trueplay the crossover gets tuned properly and the sound is pretty damn good (albeit a tad boosted in the highs).

It's a great way to get super convenient (Airplay 2) and high quality sound in a room, just with a power cord for each speaker. And these quality Hi-Fi speakers are readily available for cheap second-hand... some pics here: https://twitter.com/jstsch/status/1529204823912075264/photo/...
Ha ha, obviously!

I meant all sorting depots, not all mail.

Presumably each depot has manual systems, but those systems will be very inefficient and cause backlogs and other subsequent problems. A manual system for a large depot that suddenly gets 20x or more overloaded would struggle with an extended outage of that one centralised system.

Finely tuned flow systems often break down spectacularly with unexpected disturbances: look at the problems at container ports. Or play factorio.
> Kudos to them for showing the kind of messages that caught their own employees out - though to me they seem jarring and unsophisticated.

Agreed. A former colleague pointed out that company comms of this sort would never have exclamation marks in them. They don't look as amateurish as some of the poorly-spelled/poorly-punctuated/poor-grammar phishing attempts I've seen, but they don't look particularly legitimate to me either.

But remember that, in a company of over 8,000 people, many of them very non-technical (tech companies are staffed by people of all levels of technical proficiency), all it takes is one or two or three people to fall for it. And maybe they were tired, or had a beer or two in them, or something like that.
I couldn't find anything on Ford warranties being void if someone resold. The only thing I could find is a statement from Ford saying warranties do transfer to other parties. Any relevant links?

Edit: I saw GM announced they'll strip Hummer warranties, pretty crazy. I doubt the people that will buy a scalped Hummer EV will care much though.

My bank does a much better system where they ask for a photo of you holding your ID and a bit of paper with a number the support person gave you for authorizing larger transactions. It's still not bullet proof but since you already have to be logged in to the app to do this, I'd say it is sufficient.

> Ignoring your attempt at predictably headed ad hominem

???? ad hominem? Where? I'm saying it's very difficult to quiz about the actual controversy itself, because then we get very close to the point of disagreement and risk confounding. The research explicitly mentions this aspect of design.

> They used a non-representative sample, removed the results of those who fully agreed with the consensus, and just generally did everything trying to massage their numbers into the conclusion they wanted to make.

I don't love use of Mechanical Turk for social sciences. It's still an interesting finding. Of course, more and higher quality research should be used to confirm the effect and gain additional nuance.

> In all studies the overall effect from opposition was a fraction of a single point difference.

The overall effect from opposition was a fraction of a single point difference per unit of opposition.
Can you elaborate? Since I mostly work on macOS stuff, I don't understand the workflow that leads to needing this sort of tool. What's the process of writing software for either macOS or iOS that doesn't involve needing macOS or iOS at some point? Like you probably need to test on those systems if you're supporting software for them, right? Is it because development is done on Linux, and only testing is done on, say, macOS? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I just haven't run into this sort of situation before and am trying to better understand it.

Hundreds of millions of the world's kids were remote learning for up to a year and a half. If there was any opportunity to develop real tools to help with remote learning, it was then, but we ended up with nothing, and remote learning still sucks.

not sure if this is lost in translation or this is difference in how we understand her words, but she doesn’t want to limit her books to some kind of “chosen” people, it’s more that she is against over simplifications - for the sake of popularity over quality.
So she is writing assuming that reader has some background, if not - to encourage they to gain some and then read her novels with full understanding and pleasure.
same, but I'm upping to within 5 years. I do not think given the history with ring that it'll take very long. Anyone wanna bet 3 years? Also reasonable I think, but I'm staying at 5.
If you aren’t being paid, it might make sense to find a more fulfilling hobby.

If they are paying you it is probably to deal with the mess.

Assuming you are being paid, “this is hard work” usually isn’t a sound business case for scrapping a functioning operational component.

Good luck.
This headline isn’t accurate with the findings of the study. Working out 3+ days a week is not “daily” and hazard ratios of .95 and .85 are not equal.

The hazard ratio for cardiovascular disease comparing those working out 3+ days and 2 days is 1.14. This wasn’t even mentioned isn’t in TFA but strikes me as significant, or at least considerable.

Maybe a better headline could be “working out only on weekends nearly as good as working out more often”
That's just about the best outcome then. But the way the vermin has been coming out of the woodwork as of late has me worried, too many things appear to be balancing 'just so'.

Hey guys, do you mind if the rest of us just set our own goals?
What are your mid-term and long-term goals? Do you want to advance in your company, or find a new job? If new job, are you looking for a local job, to move, or remote?

My generic thoughts without really knowing your situation: I think an associates degree for the purpose of programming job qualifications is nearly worthless. There are some corporate jobs that require bachelors degrees- I think largely as an HR requirement.

I think generally you would be better off with either A) getting a new job that is better aligned with what you are looking for, or B) going for a bachelors and using your networking and resources from the university to get a different job.

Again all of this is incredibly generic, and your specific circumstances will certainly change the picture.
>You learn that lunch is "almuerzo" in Spanish, but is it learning or just memorization/association? To me the lines are blurred, even at first sight of the word.

I think there's a difference. "Almuerzo" -> "al muerzo", I know "al" means "the", from Arabic, I look up the etymology, the "muerzo" is from Latin "morsus", from which we get "morsel" in English. Mnemonic: "the morsel". Then I can guess that the form of the verb is almorzar, which is indeed the case. Even learning a simple word embeds and thickens a web of associations in one's mind. SRS strengthens this, makes it scale better.
I have mixed feelings about it

On one hand I do understand that not everyone will read her masterpieces 'correctly' (for me what she said in OP's link was boring)

and she's straight about it that entry level is not low and that's fine, it works the same way with e.g "Fermat's Last Theorem proof" - you cannot just wake up, start reading it and understand it (or even recognize symbols)

But on the other hand she's pretty snarky about it, but she's Polish after all, so it is in genes I guess :)

Academy Software Foundation Interactive Landscape
I've had the (mis?)understanding that these two were not in fact synonymous as you claim.

Let's just collapse on some specifics, then? Please correct any inaccuracies in the below:

Licenses promoted by FSF qualify as "Free/Libre software" - GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL. These also qualify as "Open source" per OSI.

Licenses which qualify as "Open source" but not "Free": Apache, MIT, BSD-like.
Would that be similar to a "prompt engineer" role?

The case against a C alternative
But currently, it's pretty much a guarantee that you can pick out a deepfake with this method as there is no way for current methods to account for it that are in use.

As with any interaction with more than one adversary, there is an infinite escalation and evolution with time. And similarly then something will come up then that is unaccounted for and so on, and so on.
I don't think it will be like that, for two reasons.

One, coming up with a correct description of a program is what computer programming actually is. Implementation is something we're always looking to do faster, so we can describe more behaviors to the computer.

Two, we're nowhere near the scale of software production which would clear market demand. If everyone who writes code for a living woke up and was ten times as productive, there would be more churn than usual while the talent finds its level, but the result would be ten times as much code per year, not five times and 50% unemployment.

Today I wrote a little bit of code to generate a prefix trie and write it out in a particular format, with some extra attention to getting the formatting 'nice'.
This took me about three hours.

It won't be long before something in the nature of Copilot could have gotten this down to, maybe, a half hour for results of the same (minimal, acceptable) quality.

Wonderful! Can't wait, I'll be six times as productive at this kind of task.

This might make it hard, on the margin, for some of the more junior and glue-oriented developers to find work, but I think the main result will be more software gets written, the same way using a structured programming language got people further in a day than writing in assembler did.
If used judiciously, it doesn't find its way into a programming language design.
I've heard a variety of rumours about Glacier but I'm inclined to take the Occam's Razor answer of powered-off hard disk drives.
> A huge (and awful) part of software engineering is figuring out what exactly the stakeholders want you to build or fix. Sometimes, they themselves don't even know.

Yeah, but that part can be learned by anyone without a CS degree.

Perhaps not everything in software can be automated, but I could see a team of 10 programmers be replaced by 1 person (programmer or not) skillful enough to control a bunch of AI software tools.
Ah! That's annoying, thanks for clarifying.

I love my Arc system as a "point in time" purchase, but I don't have high trust in or loyalty to Sonos in general.
Not sure what you mean. These attacks work by getting a victim to click on a URL that leads to a website that looks exactly like the company's own authentication site (Twilio uses Okta, so this is easy to mock up). They enter their username and password, and the fake site forwards the entered credentials to the real site. If the real site then transitions to a 2FA prompt, the fake site will also do that. The victim then enters their 2FA code, the fake site forwards the 2FA code to the real site, and then is rewarded with a valid session cookie. The fake site can then even redirect to the real site so the victim doesn't realize they've been duped.

The entire attack process includes testing the credentials as a necessary part of getting the 2FA code.

If you can charge at home this is generally not an issue. How often do you drive 400 or more miles in a day?

Generally I save WAY more time not going to gas stations, oil changes, smog checks, and related than I do occasionally hanging out for a 550 mile/hour charger to give me enough range to get home/next charger.

Most people think of the extra time at a charger as a weekly thing, in reality it's pretty rare for most. Often if you've been driving for 5 hours at 60 mph you are ready for a snack/bathroom break anyways.

I do wish that gas stations didn't waste so much time. What kind of gas? Oh did you want the weather? How about a car wash? Prepay for a drink inside? Donate to a charity? Oh, did you want to see another ad? What is your zip code? Oh, insert your credit card.

Tesla is literally grab the handle, push the button, and insert to charge in the car.

On a typical convertible note, I’d expect it to convert to equity on the same liquidation preference as the next round, and I do think even in this (bear) market I still think fully convertible deals are the norm.

If I remember correctly, the context was that Microsoft had made the Kinect mandatory for the Xbox One which wouldn't function without it. And the Kinect was being used for some silly voice/motion control crap.

The extreme reaction and copypastas like this probably lead to microsoft scrapping that idea a few years later.
FYI, "ARC: FACE RESTORATION" is an AI that fixes distorted faces. It won't do miracles but it does a pretty good job when the face is just off a bit.

A fast charger can consume 300 watts. An 80% fast charge takes around 9 minutes for a Tesla. Let’s say each charger sees 20% utilization, and a location has 6 chargers, so around 300 kWh a month. FWIW, that’s about double the amount of energy a small store already consumes every month.

Free won’t ever be easy.
but then it wouldn't be much of a library anymore right?

But then I found echarts's tree map component by Apache, and it was like a completely next level compared to syncfusion, was 10x easier to integrate and had 1 million times more users it felt like. The github repo was like night and day in activity
It seems you / your technical lead has no goal or vision of resulted code base without the debt. In this case it's really hard to catch up incoming changes and "make it prettier" is too vague.
I think the standard is fully convertible (i.e., you get your liquidation preference OR you convert) — a 1x as I think about it is you get your liquidation preference before you convert (i.e., two bites of the apple). Is that what you mean?
