I appreciate both this and the sister comment. I think it's perfectly valid to come to a new job with strong opinions, but they should be open to challenge and a discovery of limitations and context-dependence.

In my line of work, people with strong opinions are very rarely encountered. The tendency is overwhelmingly towards unquestioning conformity to the status quo. As a result, foundational decisions are etched in stone and impossible to revisit, no matter how much downstream pain they cause.

Personally, then, I welcome any suggestion that a person has a thoughtful preference after reflecting on alternatives. But maybe it is not that useful if it is just another form of mindless rigidity.
I think this is overly pessimistic. A compiler isn't too different from a synthesis engine that is provided with formal specification. Virtually nobody says "writing code is the easy part so why are we having tools write our asm programs for us?" There is clearly a spectrum where the techniques can be valuable or harmful depending on where they are applied.

"Hey, I synthesized a test case that will cover some uncovered program path", "hey, I synthesized some parser based on some yacc specification", and "hey, I synthesized a network topology that will break the moment requirements change" are all synthesis but have various degrees of unintentional impact.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question, but there is an unvote button for this purpose. It does disappear after a while.
I'm surprised more people didn't reply to the enclosed part of your suggestion. One of the biggest advantages of a car for me is climate control: from wind, heat, cold, rain, snow, etc. Not just for me but also the items I'm carrying with me.

I really just want an enclosed electric bike/motorcycle with climate control. I liked Arcimoto for a while until they stopped focusing on the full climate control and decided to charge $18k and above.

So yes, please, an electric bicycle with climate control.
I wish it was like this. Some countries have two standardized sizes where certain documents are in "US letter" and others in "US legal" format depending on the institution.

The usual stuff that array lengths on function declarations are only guidelines, given that they are plain pointers, and when one calculates the array length not taking that into account, somewhere out there there is an happy hacker.
You need to get your information from places other than Wikipedia. The vacuum tube was invented in 1904 and entered mass production by RCA in 1920 after several rounds of improvements. D-Wave started demonstrating its QC product in 2009 and here we are 13 years later with basically nothing. Are you going to tell us that QC will be commercially viable in three years?

Strange Days is fantastic. It worked particularly well at just that moment in time, with the LA riots fresh in mind and the millennium coming up. It's one of the best cyberpunk movies I know of, and horribly underrated.
Stable diffusion is good open source software and is well motivated in a very complicated technology/political space. Sure they inherit all of the existing problems with image datasets but they have some plans to mitigate racial and socio-political bias.

This interview is a good overview of the principles behind their approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2QtKcK2dA
The technology is also built so that the location is encrypted for the device owner - so Apple doesn't have a database of the location of every Apple Find My enabled device in the world, which for me makes it not creepy - my devices can find my devices.

It's really useful for locating lost headphones, laptops, etc. -- whether stolen, left on public transport/taxi, or left at a friend's house.

One of my early jobs was as a consultant in a early software company which had great traction in data visualization. I worked on dozens of projects over a five year period, and got to go see some utterly amazing things on-site in military, space, shipping, manufacturing, nuclear, etc. industries.

Good advice for the next generation is to take every opportunity to go see the physical plan where things really happen.

Europeans got over it even way back in antiquity. The Franks adopted the Roman language, religion (by then Christianity), and civil law and institutions. They didn’t seek to distance themselves from Roman empirical history.

Sure, but the lesson here is to improve the web (or to create some platform for apps, in the same spirit of the web), not to jump into walled gardens.
Yes. Why do you think KF's enemies went after Cloudflare and not some other aspect of their operation - it's because they want to destroy the site totally and that means DDoSing it off the internet.

I find it interesting how, seemingly amongst one group of people, "it isn't illegal" is the go-to defense for organizations like Kiwi Farms while "it isn't illegal" is considered woefully insufficient for justifying the behavior of organizations like Cloudflare.
>The evidence CloudFlare gave that the site was a danger were a post from 4chan pretending to be a KiwiFarms user, and a post made a user that had previously only posted once in 2022

Where did Cloudflare give this evidence? Are you the administrator of Kiwifarms? They certainly haven't shared this in public.
It was semi-snide in that crypto fans often complain about money printing but pretend crypto doesn't count. Often the biggest money bubbles are when a new type of credit is invented that isn't recognized.
There's no argument here. Just reactionary noises pretending to be about "human rights."
The person they are replying to made it about credentials
I think they probably do. There is another comment below saying the owner/moderator/whatever of Kiwifarms also works with "law enforcement organisations" on anything illegal on the site.

Mass murderers have live-streamed their rampages on Facebook. I'm sure Facebook also work with police.

Other than the horrible nasty comments (which I've seen much worse on Facebook/Twitter/YouTube/social media in greater numbers) I don't see what's so special about Kiwifarms.
Also, when it comes to envelopes:

"This means that C4 is slightly larger than A4, and slightly smaller than B4. The practical usage of this is that a letter written on A4 paper fits inside a C4 envelope, and both A4 paper and C4 envelope fits inside a B4 envelope."

I didn't get into the data just scanned the article but her main point is it looks good because their own projections for 2030 have increased over the years since their original projection in 2008? And we still have 8 years to go? Little or no discussion of actual data? Weird.

Even though I'm on board with the "don't hand your product to someone else's walled garden" message here, this seems like a weird analogy to me. LaserDisc and the web weren't contemporaneous. So what's the web analogue supposed to be in that scenario?

Plus, I don't think LaserDisc made many millionaires whereas writing apps for the iPhone clearly did. Anyone who went all-in on iPhone apps in 2011 probably did quite well for themselves.

The fact that the confidence intervals for the excess risks aren't roughly symmetric around zero, but rather biased to mostly positive, is worrying. Most of the probability is for positive excess risk. If it were just noise, wouldn't we expect the excess risk CI's to be roughly centered around zero?

“Concern” in this context is an Improper Noun of sorts https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32673100 It’s academic speak for ‘I believe this may be incorrect’, and it’s very common to use this word in reviews. The reason “concern” is used over “incorrect” is partly to avoid a direct accusation, which can and sometimes does turn out very bad for the accuser. Note that it was not Semenza who wrote about the “concern”. In addition this word can help establish lack of culpability by the journal and/or publisher after the fact.

You can't control the hiring company's process, who the company picks as an interviewer and you don't know what else is going on in their day/life - but what you can control are your questions so you can project a positive image no matter what. I'm helping you here. My reframe isn't just "how to sound less like a dick" - although there is that - it's also a way to demonstrate maturity and positive signal at the same time which helps ensure you're leveled appropriately too.

Interviewing may be a craps shoot, but you can always adjust the odds in your favor.
I think we are currently in a phase because of phishing problems. Corporate filters are currently turned up to eleven, but hosting your own server is still very well possible. SPF/DKIM/DMARC helps, but isn't required. You really think the corps that do host their own servers have set that up? It is far more widely spread by enthusiasts that host their own servers.

We also should keep mail for pseudonymous and anonymous user authentication. There are a lot of threats to the free internet right now and user account consolidation is one of it. I agree that people should keep hosting themselves. Someone blocked you? Their loss, let them rant to their internal IT about it. Corporations or institutions that use Google as a provider should be seen with scepticism.

The whole thing relies on the loose causality of stochastic terrorism. It's a bit like the Nuremberg trials "only gave orders" defense, except they're not even orders, just innuendo - it's just spreading smear material and a general attitude of hate among a fractious, isolated and angry audience.

NASA Can Now Reliably Produce a Tree’s Worth of Oxygen on Mars
Thank you. We all need a little epistemic humility, and a little compassion for how others made decisions. That includes public officials who had to make risky decisions with poor information in a rapidly changing fact-environment.

When it became clear to me that:

(1) the virus would never be boxed in [we missed that boat]
(2) the vaccines mostly just prevented serious disease, but only marginally prevented its spread [I've had 3 doses, and gotten the virus twice
(3) the newest variants appeared to be less dangerous

I tended toward vaccination being personal choice (like with flu) rather than a mandate, something we'll just have to live with.

Meanwhile there are global outbreaks of polio. That's what pisses me off (having a relative who suffered the consequences of that disease long long after childhood).

The small providers typically don't have recourse if they approach a blocklist maintainer and ask to be taken off a list. That "trivial percentage of people" make up a substantial portion of service providers (for every Google there are many <100 user mail servers), which is what this thread was about.

I pointed out that adopting blocklists just makes it harder to operate a mail server as a small provider, and nobody in this thread appears to disagree with that assessment. They instead seem to take issue with the tone of the message.
This is like programmers being asked to debug something, sneering back "you think this deeply complicated distributed database problem could be caused by an off-by-one error, pfft, what do you know?" and then just ... not debugging it.

The insularity of the Japanese market extends to lots of things.

I used to be an IT industry analyst and, while they were never a particular focus, I did follow what NEC, Fujitsu, and Hitachi did in the server market. My general observation was that they all had aspirations to be global IT suppliers but, for the most part, they didn't want to make any material investments to make that actually happen.
Trying to get detailed logs from Outlook365 hosted accounts is near impossible.

You'd think you'd be able to log in to your Exchange dashboard and just look at them. They hide it from you and only show you abbreviated logs. You can go through support, and if you pay enough money you'll get an cryptic answer within a week (if you're really lucky the support person might show you the real logs).

Pain in the ass when you're trying to figure out why your users aren't getting email from someone.

You can pry the mail logs from my cold dead hands.
'Apple Reality Pro' to Be First of Three Apple AR/VR Headset Devices
I think most people here are programmers, and I think many programers make somewhere around that amount per year.

If someone has low expenses like paying less than half their salary per year, they can save that much after two years.

I make that amount per year doing something else, but I'd rather spend it on a ticket to space rather than a TLD.

Quite right, I should have said “ecosystem” really. And obviously this comment, about Apple in general, was a little off topic as a reply to the parent. I know what I was trying to get at, but didn’t convey it well in this context. Oh well.

I can't recall (in my own time) a similar response to a new tool for creation.

Maybe I'm just too young, but when digital canvas became a thing, I don't recall a similar reaction, nor when 3D rendering went (almost) photo-realistic..

Someone did some actions that resulted in an image, that image won the competition.

Sure, this will have negative consequences, but that won't be about fairness to human artists. I speculate that it will be more about how the decline in price for "original" content will fall drastically, and so will be more heavily used everywhere.. In some places, it will be welcome, for instance, header images for articles (instead of another generic stock photo, the author can chose to spend an extra 10 minutes coming up with a nice query). In other places, it might replace repetitive textures in games, or back grounding work in games, movies and ads. Pretty positive development.

But on a deeper level, I do wonder if we will lose some visual originality (there might be a shift towards more imaginative queries) but the model knows what the model knows, and the more we exercise it, the more we will see sameness.. Then again, this probably leads to more innovation in making more diverse and creative models, and who knows, maybe a new category of artist may emerge, the style-creator whose primary concern is with form and aesthetic while entirely ignoring the content.

Interesting times.

> Should this artist’s work be evaluated differently than another artist that created the same piece ‘normally’?

In the big, practical matter of determining the "better" piece, no, absolutely not. We're not judging welds made by robots and humans by who made them, we're not judging music by who composed it, we judge things by how good they are at being what they are.

Sure, as a competitive thing, we can have a "hoomans only" category, just like we have boxing categories for each gender (because, unless you're a certain kind of psychopath, you don't enjoy seeing females getting brutalized by men[1]) . We make categories so that everyone can participate within their own limits.

>Saying that a document from the early web is still viewable while a fully interactive application from the same time is not is a bit disingenuous.

Indeed, though running a Java Applet from 1995 is a lot easier than running an iOS app from 2010. Although browsers haven’t natively supported Applets for a very long time, there are several third-party tools that let you run them as standalone applications. Good luck virtualizing a 10 year old version of iOS to do the same for the old app.

That said, the argument in the OP holds true if we don’t go back in time quite as far. Most JavaScript-based single-page applications from 2010 should still run flawlessly in modern browsers.
