I personally use ML stuff in a productive context almost every day. Topaz labs software for denoising and upscaling images, Star Xterminator and Starnet for astrophotography edits. Don’t know if this counts as productive but the tools I use to analyze my chess games are also all utilizing neural nets. So if you’re not seeing useful ML applications in your day to day life it could just be that the things they’re good at don’t align well with your job or hobbies just yet.

Yeah no it won't, well at least not in the long run. If anything good comes from all of this, it is that the internet by necessity will become more resilient. Unfortunately, enhanced resiliency will come at the cost of bifurcation. We told the exiled to just 'build your own platform' and 'build your own bank' but we didn't think that they would listen.

> How does Snapchat have 4x the employees that twitter has?

This seems absurd for the size of snap, they are involved with hardware so theres headcount there for that, twitter is all software. $500M seems about right, given that that would amount to 6400 employees getting cut thats an average of $78,125 per employee which seems a bit low but they are based in socal and engineer salaries are lower there than the bay area. I hope these folks find new jobs quickly thats alot of people out of work all at once.
I agree, I wish we had a law enforcement apparatus that cared about protecting transgender people. But we don't have a clear path to that at the moment, and in the meantime we want to avoid more people being killed. Thus you have people trying to argue for more informal procedures that revolve around social pressure, telling companies basically "This is obviously way beyond the pale, you should not associate yourself with this." It's not a good state for things to be in, but pretending things are better than they are is an even worse solution.
In going through my Dad's papers, I found a listing of the first game I wrote (in DECSystem 10 Basic). I thought that was lost in the mists of time. It was fun reading the ancient code. I scanned it and put it on my backup drive.

I threw away my old punch cards, paper tape, magtape, DECtape, etc., as it wasn't worth the effort to find a machine that could read them.

Do you mind if I ask a follow up? Do you feel that the breakdown with recruiters is because there is not an easy way to present as "suitable" for a role?

At the risk of leading to an answer, do you think that this is related to the information density constraints of a resume and linkedin profile, and the additional risk that a recruiter cannot do much to parse a GitHub repo?

Also, when these recruiters are reaching out to you, what is your experience of split between external firm vs internal FTE at target company?

I did caloric restriction for a year and eased into it gradually until I was eating two small meals a day. I had no ailments but weighed upward of 230 lbs, 104kg. In a year I went down to near zero body fat and weighed 150lbs/68kg. Unfortunately for my build and frame that made me look sickly so I started eating again and Ive settled around 165 and working to put on a little muscle. Overall I'd say I did this whole thing over two years without much effort. Though yes, getting over the hunger pangs is very hard but once over them you quickly learn to ignore them.

But that still doesn't make Cloudflare the fire brigade. It is still their policy decision to value the freedom of speech of Kiwifarms more than the safety of those KF target, no matter how much they try to pretend they have an obligation to protect everyone that asks for it and are thus not at all partially responsible for enabling harassment - to the point of suicide in at least 3 cases. They don't have to protect them. That responsibility would be with lawmakers and the executive branch. Just as it would be their responsibility to enable feasible prosecution of defamation on the site. They don't do either.

This gives zero evidence a threshold has been reached for enzyme activation.

There is evidence of effects after 72 hours of fasting [1]. But we also know of counter-effects around 24 hours, when glucose released by the liver breaking down amino acids from muscle wasting (EDIT: autophagy) partially reactivates mTOR [2]. It could be massive or minimal benefits through 24 hours, we don't know, benefits which reduce between 24 hours and some other number, and then increase until, or until right before or well through 72 hours.

Yeah, imagine war starts in Taiwan. The Chinese government “asks” DJI for a set of all photos taken anywhere near US military facilities, including just of public highways leading in or out. That gives the Chinese government intelligence they wouldn’t otherwise have.

And it could also ask for photos near locations where Chinese dissidents or their family members live.
> - No tolerance to anything but work. If you sexually harrass someone, instantly fired.

> - No woke HR training (no one watches it, yet no one has the courage to say anything about it)

Given that a chunk of the HR training is about reminding people not to sexually harass, I'm not sure how you can achieve both of those? Especially when you don't have an HR department. Who's investigating the allegations? In practice this kind of culture leads to "if you are sexually harrased, you have to keep your mouth shut or you will be fired".
Yep! And that's part of the reason many places probably shouldn't go back to the old way of doing things. Yes, you use more electricity for AC vs. natural ventilation. However, you gain so much efficiency during the winter with better insulation, and heating power use generally exceeds cooling power use above a certain latitude.

Now, there are some indoor air quality drawbacks associated with mechanical ventilation, but new standards around higher rates of fresh air intake and new technologies like energy recovery ventilators (which now even come in ductless options) are fixing that.

That's more doctored than faked, IMO.
Clearly you don't spend any time on Facebook or in article comments sections.

It's currently a barrage of two FUD and misinformation talking points "they're actually worse for the environment cuz [rare earth metals|lithium mining|they actually run off coal]" and "they're going to destroy the electrical grid."

It's a remarkably effective campaign, and I suspect ultimately the propagation of these points were financed.

I suspect a lot of the incredulity about energy use and EVs at this point comes down to people's inability to grasp that they're spending so much money on gas [cuz ICE vehicles are inefficient], but the equivalent milage on an EV at regular electrical rates charging at home is so much less. It's inconceivable to people how badly they're currently being ripped off. "There has to be a big catch."

There really isn't. Hence I've been told I'm full-of-it when I make the entirely truthful point that AC costs way more than charging an EV for most commutes. People don't want to believe they're being ripped off that badly.

I'd guess it's more likely that there used to be a "Printers" control panel, when the main thing it controlled was the DB-25 parallel printer port on an ancient IBM-compatible PC, and later they added other devices to it. People accustomed to adjusting printer settings might scroll straight to "Printers" and be confused if it got renamed to "Devices." Even more nefariously, it's reasonable that there's some software out there that does a string comparison for "Printers" that ignores extra characters like " and Devices" which would be a reason not to rename it completely.

Similarly here, cookies have been around since Netscape in 1994. IndexedDB is as new as 2015, window.LocalStorage is from ~2010 IIRC. For backwards compatibility, it's totally reasonable to use "Cookies" or "Cookies and local storage", and expect that to extend to any new developments.

I might be misunderstanding something, but I don't think an infinite table makes sense? Each machine has a finite set of states and operates on a finite alphabet, so the size of the table will always be at most the product of those two numbers.

As a hiring manager, I hate the subjective nature of the feedback process and collecting input from the interviewers. I wish there were a more data driven approach to this part of the process.

Sharp did the breach and then extorted Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti got the FBI involved and declined to pay off Sharp. Sharp followed through on his threat and disclosed everything to Kerbs, who wrote an article about it. The FBI and Ubiquiti were on to Sharp, but since Sharp was Kreb's only source, Krebs doubled down on the allegation with a series of articles, and then never retracted it (until now)

Kiwi Farms will post their target's private info, the private info of everyone their target knows, send death threats to their target and their family, report false crimes to try and get SWAT teams to kill their target, etc. Ben Shapiro doesn't seem like a good person and I suspect he is probably sympathetic to many terrorists, but he is not himself a terrorist as far as I know.

Oh I forgot about the tricks. Thanks.

I also use the tricks mentioned above. They are very useful.

Additional tricks:

- Use fiber supplements in your water sometime in the middle of your fast (simplest time is in the morning in lieu of breakfast). I use psyllium husk.

- Soup (or rather broth) is a fasting bff. Remember miso, herbs, spices, salt, do not have calories. Flavor your water liberally. Change up the consistency with stuff in it (green onions, seaweed). Change up the temperature (hot, cold, whatever). I even add psyllium husk to my soups to change up the texture and consistency just for the variety. Remember you can “eat” a lot of tasty stuff while still technically fasting.

- Actively (rather than passively) deplete your glycogen stores. Do a workout ideally including cardio, then do your best to immediately fall asleep to recover. I can sleep through anything, if you can too you’ll be in keto by the morning and no real feelings of difficulty.

- Remember to take a multi-vitamin daily while fasting. Make sure it doesn’t have sugar like those “vitamin C hangover powders” or “electrolyte water stuff like Gatorade”.
Layoffs suck but they're done to preserve the value of the overall entity, which includes the benefit of all remaining employees. You cut some jobs but it allows you to keep others.

It's not a wasteful luxury. It's critical. But more attention needs to be paid to overall efficiency. Better home insulation and building materials, and better AC unit placement and better units themselves.

Yeah, tell that to people in Eastern Europe where pensioners will have to decide between paying for heating and paying for medicine.

According to completedns.com, instant-stresser.com has been using Cloudflare on and off for almost 8 years, and continuously for the last 3 years. It's also the 2nd result on Google for searching "free stresser". It seems impossible that this site hasn't been reported to Cloudflare by now, indicating that they have made the decision to continue protecting it. Very bad.

I haven't checked the other sites you mentioned, but if this pattern holds, it definitely changes my perspective on Cloudflare.
BTW thanks for putting this bot together! I've been playing with it. Very comparable results to Midjourney, no surprise.
