> Any one who files to be a candidate is a candidate

OK, but this can then be misused for other causes — for example, in the UK there is a deposit that general election candidates have to pay, which IIRC was introduced because too many people kept filing to be candidates because that was a way to get out of a legal obligation (draft, I think).

I expect the same here. Is anyone illegible to file for candidacy? Is this exactly the same dividing line you want between the tweeters and the tweet-nots?

(I am amused by the idea of Trump social media site being forced to host the literal Communist Party USA candidates, but that's a different matter).

This definition is so broad as to include me. Thanks, I guess, but I don't think I warrant that status.
I'm always amazed by what AI can do but never been amazed by the actual output(amazed within the context that this is computer generated). Not just Copilot but any tool that has too much of intelligence of itself(Dall-e, Midjourneys etc) feels like this because it reminds me of a person with great talent for compositing stuff but doesn't know what they are doing.

AI generated papers that got published in prestigious journals situation all over again and again. At glance looks amazing but the machine definitely doesn't have any kind of intelligence and the output is actually worthless.

This AI stuff work really well when they do something very specific that is quickly inspectable by human, for example generating interpolated frames in videos or extending a pattern or detecting anomalies kind of stuff.

The moment it strays away from human control it fails amazingly well.
That wouldn’t help, it was literally a fresh installation with that issue. And on an NVMe SSD.
>Google started as a DARPA project, and was a great engine while it stayed true to that ethos. It was the need to commercialize it, thus setting perverse business incentives, which has destroyed it.

Google started as a what now? This is an interesting thing to say during a discussion of access to information. I'd be happy to read your explanation of Google's "DARPA roots", and your citations to sources explaining how that came about and how they were "destroyed" when they "strayed" from DARPA... that should be a fascinating read.
I agree. There's a healthy factor form entry cost. There's also an healthy inertia into asking more than short term investment from your mind.

Something I read about in "Remote: Office not required" is a key issue and that is about having the means to measure productivity, even if very roughly or in comparison with colleagues in the same job. Many companies don't have that so they are understandably worried about people slacking at home.

Being in the office doesn't force you to work but with less distractions and ability to watch TV etc, I think you are more likely to do more work in an office than you would do at home if you are not engaged in your job.

Now if you do have something like articles per week for a copy writer or tasks per week by a Dev, you can at least call out the people whose numbers are much lower than others and find out what is going on, maybe they are struggling or they always get given the hard stuff or they are being put in too many meetings. I think Employees should expect their Managers to make them accountable for their output.

Yes, the bulk of the weight are metals like nickel and manganese. Lithium is a critical component but isn’t the dominant component of the battery’s mass.
What is the end game of consumer GPUs, primarily for gaming? It seems wasteful (?), not sure of the right word here at the moment, to put all this effort into GPUs for general purpose computers and the downstream problems (cooling, space, mounting, etc.) to get arguable improvements in gaming experiences. There seems to be an outright arms race amongst consumers and manufacturers alike for all this, and I personally am not sure why this stuff is so in demand. Are there other consumer markets where high-performance is so accepted and common place?
My projects are too complex and unpredictable to estimate up front. I now work for larger clients than just pay their bills fairly reliably.
No need to worry, plenty of lithium exists elsewhere and is already being actively mined. Until a few years ago, lithium was a by product of other types of mining that would be discarded as it did not have a huge market. That obviously changed in the last decade or so and there are now lots of companies looking all over the world for lithium deposits. And they are finding them too. And some of those new deposits are being mined already.

Lithium is a fairly common element. It's not a rare earth. Extracting it and processing it are energy and water intensive processes and mining of itself also has issues with pollution. So doing that in the Andes where water is scarce, is indeed problematic. This is also a reason that some areas are hesitant with giving permits for lithium mining. Nevertheless, there are new mines in Nevada, Texas, Canada, Cornwall, Australia, and other places that are starting to ramp up.

The sentiment in this thread seems to be a bit weirdly anti car and even pro ICE cars. However, this is not the show stopper that some ICE car fanatics want you to believe it is. If only they applied the same outrage against burning oil, fracking, oil spills, damage done by oil refineries, oil drilling in senstive ecosystems, and all the rest. The damage lithium mining does pales in comparison to that.

This is just a minor growing pains for an exponentially growing industry that is going from almost no volume ten years ago to shipping tens of millions of vehicles as well as grid storage, home storage, and other batteries. Anything with wheels is going to stop burning stuff and start using lithium. And close 100% of that lithium can be recycled when the battery eventually reaches its end of life.

Lithium ion and other batteries are part of the solution to the problems caused by burning oil. The solution is not advertising we all turn ourselves into Luddites. Good luck advertising it; but I have no confidence that you'll move the needle in a way that matters. Batteries on the other hand are succeeding where generations of hippies have failed to even slow down the growth at which the problem was accelerating. ICE cars are now legacy vehicles and the transition to EVs is well under way. Thanks to lithium ion batteries.

A lot of discussion here is missing this absolutely crucial aspect.

This. school isn't teaching you the topic, it's teaching you to pass an exam. I had a physics teacher that fully understood this. All we did was past papers for like 6 months of I don't really remember much physics but I got a good grade in this class and it helped get me into uni so who cares.
If schools really cared about passing on knowledge then most things should be project/course-work based with a small write-up explaining what you did etc depending on the subject to make sure you know what you're talking about.
though we'd probably see much higher grades overall, but we wouldn't know if this is because it's a better way to judge knowledge or because the teacher just told them what to write.
> Docker is the killer app feature keeping me on Linux.

Agreed.

Docker (or another OCI compatible solution) feels like one of the few good ways to run software with all of its dependencies consistently across different systems/OSes: you can generally develop things on macOS, Windows or Linux and run your containers with reasonable amounts of confidence in everything working as expected.

No longer must you worry as much about what the host OS will be for your business webapp to run, nor are you tied down to an old OS version just because of some dependency not being present/working on the latest one, or even need to worry as much about updating the host with the potential to break something (at least something other than the container runtime).

That said, it's always nice to have a decent amount of choice regarding the host OSes and see more support! Even other runtimes like Podman feel like a good sign.

Note: some of the aspects of containers have drawbacks, of course (and certain things can break due to FS differences, for example), about which I wrote on my blog, "Containers are broken": https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/containers-...

Because unsafe Rust has at least as many footguns, and a narrower happy path (second-class support for shared mutability, raw pointers are a pain to use and encapsulating in a handle struct might help though I haven't tried writing code this way, Pin violates SB, Box may or may not disable aliasing raw pointers), than C++.
> Now let's look at this and see if the circumstances justify the government seizing the right of the social media hosting company to determine what content they want to serve on their website.

If social media platforms want that right, like news media platforms, they have to hire real editors and agree to be liable for the information they publish and disseminate. Why should social media platforms get an exception to this but news media platform on print, TV or radio be bound by extra restrictions (liability)?

> Is there a substantial cost for a competitor to enter the market? No. Software and server infrastructure are cheap compared to costs incurred to existing common carriers.

Yes, there is the "network effect" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect ) which is a huge barrier for any new competitor to overcome. One way to remove this barrier and provide a more level playing field would be to create and enforce a standard that would foster connection and communication between all such social network platforms. Do you think the tech companies will allow this?
I mean... Yes?

But honestly, if you can't pick up the basics of factorio in a few minutes you're less qualified than the nine-year-olds and sixty-year-olds I've taught programming to. No background in programming or software development at all. That's a very low standard.

And yes, I've used factorio in those lessons as a tool. It's great for teaching refactoring in a visual way with no code at all. I usually set a class homework project involving the factorio demo. It works well.

It's really not that hard to play factorio.

Ok. With all that said and even with all those happy experiences I still wouldn't use factorio for interviews because I think leetcode and similar are also bad approaches. Same with algorithm questions. They're out as well.

I cheated throughout highschool (hacked school system for test answers) and college (old fashioned cheat sheets) and have zero regrets or shame over any of it. I resent the awful system our society has and I resent how awful it has treated me. I 100% encourage cheating for people like me and it was extremely low effort. It resulted in a pretty good start off to my career and I'm now quite successful on my own honest merits.
how have i never seen this!! :D
I have persistent dreams in which I decide to change my career to something more interesting, but requiring a different university degree that the one I have now (CS). In these dreams, I decide to go back to high school to improve on my final grades, so that I have higher chance of getting into my new university of choice (HS grades are a large component of that in Poland). Through these dreams, I attend the HS classes (as a 40-year old), sweat about the homework and exams etc. It's not a nightmare, it's just bizzare.

Low acidic diet (alkaline) helps you more with getting calcium in your tissues than over-focusing on a high calcium diet. Western women drink a lot of cow dairy and yet have osteoporosis, yet Asian women have no problems with "low calcium" diets (low dairy/meat).

Macros are no replacement to studies with actual food sources. It's a way to trick you.

Edit: [CORRECTION] Asian women have high osteoporosis. I misremembered. This was a terrible example.

You know that your points aren't very interesting. We value languages like C# and Python for their safety, even though we know that libraries sometimes contain C code which may have bugs and that the implementation is in C or C++ and might have bugs and it runs on an operating system which contains C and assembly code and might have bugs. There's a huge value in knowing that the code you write won't have memory problems, and you recognize that with all other languages. Your vendetta against Rust prevents you from recognizing the exact same thing when applied to a language you don't like.
I don't mean to suggest that it is. The RDI for calcium is 1000mg/day, though, and it's really difficult to hit that by accident unless you have spectacularly good eating habits.

The half-litre of milk is one of the many things you could try. You could also eat 100g of poppy seeds, 5 cups of cooked lentils, or a kilogram of cooked kale. The point is that it's genuinely very hard to eat enough calcium, and that's only one of the nutrients that need to be juggled.
You mean the big redesign ? In my memories they rapidly had an 'direct music' crowd.
Seems like something that could be "easy" to validate. Compare children's development in the US with those in Australia and see if there's a 6 month difference.

Note I put easy in quotes, because this should be provable, but I don't think it's trivial to do so due to all the different factors that contribute to a child's development.

Edit: And by "6 month difference", I mean that if seasons have anything to do with child development, you would see the same kind of development in children born in March in the US and children born in September in Australia.
