No place I have ever worked had a "200M vs 10M dollar" moment. The mismanagers might whistle up a tune that sounded like it, but the bonuses vs no-bonuses only applied to the executives, never to anyone who actually wrote code.

The most offensive (to me) was a deadline that government regulations said was 3 years away (EFast2! Due 2009!). The mismanagers involved would not let us start working on meeting those requirements until less than 1 year remained. The product involved went from having 60% market share to under 25%. If they had not been purchased by a large conglomerate, they would have gone out of business from this. All the devs quit. The execs who created the crisis were fired. Some devs were rehired, about half would never go back no matter how much they were paid.
The arrival of Covid was a period of great stress and change in people's lives. Maybe they were dealing with some things and not really coasting? Just maybe needed some more support? This way of thinking about people, coworkers, without understanding the situation in their lives and what they've been talking to with their managers about, is just alien to me and I don't understand it. I don't think it's a good way to manage people.

If you have a problem with someone being a burden on your team that you and others have to deal with, that's understandable and you should bring it up with your team, but managers talking in these sorts of ways in public conversation about the people working at their company, it's just awful.
Because nobody has been able to provide a reasonable explanation for why someone would drop off batches of ballots at one location, take a pic for proof, drive across town and do the same, drive to another county and do the same, etc. Rinse and repeat with multiple "mules".

Even if you're a "legitimate" ballot harvester, what is the reason for multiple drop off points and taking pics of the box after you've dropped the ballots in? It doesn't prove you dropped my ballot in but it does show you physically were at the dropoff location. Does this seem normal to you?
Do you believe that some level of violence is required to enforce social order, whether or not it comes from a military force?

For electronics and vehicles you are free to google iphone and mercedes prices in India vs Us. Its especially higher if I want specific items to import like framework laptop, fairphone, tesla car

Private education can get very expensive very quickly too. Public schools are not even an option as they don't even have furniture sometimes.

You might say remaining costs are low, but they are low only if we use uncertified, unskilled, low quality services/labor. For even decent quality of work the prices will be in multiples.

About my comment about being payed half, the pay scales are visible to everyone in the company so I know that the least in the US also gets payed 2x of my location
Yeah. My family and I are in Canada today precisely for that reason - we never knew when a random truck would pick my tall 15-16 year old self from the street and send me to dig trenches (different war, 25 years ago, and yet with eerie similarities)
Thanks for this, its confusing for many as to why growth companies(low/no-profit) are getting hit so hard due to rising interest rates and these quotes and the article linked explain the reasoning very well.
I'm comparing this with the 12-gen DIY offerings, and it seems like it's mostly the low-end configuration of the DIY with ChromeOS installed. The FAQ says there are some subtle differences like louder speakers and a "more power optimized battery". Can you clarify what "more power optimized" means (a rather vague statement as the specs page suggests the same capacity and durability)?

I noticed the 256GB of storage is different from the DIY options. I'm guessing this is driven by hardware support limitations for ChromeOS. I'm wondering if the same is true with the RAM.

The FAQ also says you can add memory and storage later, but I noticed the FAQ mentions "We recommend using modules from Google’s Chromebook compatibility lists, which can be viewed in our Knowledge Base, and are available for purchase on the Framework Marketplace." I didn't find that compatibility list anywhere in the Knowledge Base, but I did find this post (https://community.frame.work/t/introducing-the-framework-lap...) which seems to suggest you can upgrade to 64GB of RAM and 1TB of NVMe storage, though it's not clear if that's using parts that are on Google's compatibility list or not. Can you provide any clarity on this?
Yes, but a computer is not a person - and copyright law is not very friendly to machine generated output.
>No one was actually harmed. //

In a couple of years, unchecked, many artists will be out of work and companies like Getty will be making a lot less revenue. That's "harm" in legal terms.

On a previous SD story someone noted they create recipe pictures using an AI instead of using a stock service.

These sorts of developments are great, IMO, but we have to democratise the benefits.
Harm to who? Aren’t rate hikes beneficial to entities that have a lot of debt?
QE was ended in March, and we're in full QT now.
That doesn't really address the underlying disconnect, though.

A lot of FOSS work is done as a labor of love, not a job. In order to make good on a promise to fix something for money, that means it's now a job. That may be OK for many FOSS projects, but it is completely incompatible with others.
Hmm, I'll have to check it out!
Technically Russia has already lost the war.

Their military capacities are greatly diminished. Their economy suffered and will keep suffering as long as the sanctions are in place. Some of their formerly main commercial partners are looking into using different suppliers. Their standing in the international order was diminished. Even China who has an interest in weakening NATO seems a bit annoyed at them and is not providing much support.

Russia is definitely not going to take Ukraine as long as the west supports its military effort. The question now is what’s the USA end game here and how do we go there without backing Russia to much into a corner so they don’t feel they have to use the nuclear option.
After the election...
As also a current pixelbook user (it's now mostly a tablet replacement now that I bought a Framework), the only thing that would make this a full pixelbook replacement is a touch screen and a 360 hinge, so I can use it as a tablet.

Perhaps the next iteration, though that means replacing the whole chassis/screen (those seem harder to repurpose than the mainboard)

There's a huge distance between what they are currently doing and full mobilization. It's likely they'll start mobilizing younger reservists.
Given that mortgage rates recently rose past 6%, seems to me this latest rate increase is going to put strong pressure on house prices. The rate has a huge impact on the monthly payment required to service a loan, more so than is immediately apparent without doing the math.
btrfs has had support for changing the compression level for some years.

I've been using zstd:2 (the default is 3), it compresses my data close to what zlib does while being pretty light on CPU.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x9-3OQF4ev1fOCrYuYWt... (not mine)

https://linuxreviews.org/Comparison_of_Compression_Algorithm...

Also note that btrfs compression works on 128 KiB chunks and if you work with small files a lot (frontend work, etc), it may actually increase your SSD wear. I've seen this in practice.
This doesn't have to be formalized, though. Any company can do this right now by hiring a contractor to do the work.
Has no one in your life ever corrected you on something without striking you?

"Enforcement" already presupposes violence. I'd suggest "governance" as a better term. Violence is an exceptionally poor mechanism of governance. It creates an outsized amount of unjust outcomes without working especially well.

Police are often called on to force homeless people out of an area, for instance. This often results in violence but never results in solving the problem that people need homes. The war on drugs has resulted in the over policing of impoverished areas and an inestimable amount of misery, but it hasn't helped a single addict to recover and has only enhanced the power of drug cartels.

The question I think people need to ask themselves is, do the police accomplish the goals I believe they accomplish? Am I bringing a lot of preconceived notions to the discussion that I should examine more carefully? Are there better ways to achieve governance?

I'd encourage this thought experiment. Let's say there's a stoop outside your apartment where people smoke, and they litter their cigarette butts. You want them not to litter. What's going to be more effective; threatening them with violence, or putting a trash can out there?
Nice. This explains why the stacktraces are kinda useless unless you take special care with kotlin coroutines.
Well Tether can only have two stable states $1 or $0. A Tether is never going to be worth $2 so at worst i am paying interest on the short.
I'll echo what some folks have said in other threads, we've had rates down near zero for fifteen years, and we've got to get them back somewhere near historic normals at some point. If only so they can be cut again during the next crisis. How much is our entire culture the result of cheap money?
Exactly. Accountants, Engineers and many other experts are familiar with numbers. It's a specialization of its own to be aware that floating point numbers are always fractions that have a power of 2 on the bottom and to know how to deal with it.

Other experts are driven nuts by it because they have a number of invariants in their head that are violated. Show an accountant some numbers that "don't add up" and they'll tell you to come back when you have them in order.
Sure, hit me
This AI has a 30 second delay on the audio processing because it needs to be able to "look into the future" to get these good results. That 30s delay would be unacceptable for Siri/Google/Cortana.
I fixed the link, thanks again.
This is why those visa restrictions for russian citizens are counterproductive. We should rather send charter flights to Russia to pick people up who are willing to leave the country (also the ukraine war is particularly unpopular among educated russians).
Things which cannot go on forever, will stop.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to know when.
Are there plans to develop a touchscreen and a tablet mode for the the framework? And if so, can we at least re-use some of the existing parts, other than the mainboard?

I understand if you can't make promises here, I'm also on a product team :)
I guess you meant QT and not QE.
In my teens I cheated in counter strike, maybe a total of 20 games. As an adult, I still play FPS games but have no interest in cheating.

Also cheating in online chess is a very low barrier if entry. Anyone can do it. When I did cheat in counter strike, it was as simple as wanting to see how it worked. Downloading some questionable binaries and running them.

A simile might be downloading an illegal copy of windows and stealing a car. Both are technically stealing, but stealing windows is not a predictor that you are going to steal a car.

Cheating in person so discreetly that no one is even sure that it happened is the opposite. It would have required custom hardware, discreet placement, and a lot of practice reading the data. Nothing suggests that he was a hardware engineer if any sort. How many accomplices did he have? The more people, the harder to keep a secret.

Similarly, his offers to rematch and play even naked are really doubling down. Magnus seems scared to entertain these matches.

> The creators of AI image generators say the technology is legal...

I'd bet that said creators are not lawyers, nor (well-)advised by lawyers, nor even able to cite substantial law nor case law to back up that "say".

And with the extremely low bar for calling something "AI" these days - how close to "kinda like Google image search, but with a random filter or two applied" might a low-budget "AI" get?
I think this, along with a slew of other factors as well.

> Every Russian out there is to blame for this war.

You might as well blame the poor for being poor. I understand every Russian who says it's not worth it to try.
Some Russians are oppressed and really poor.

Those who should take responsibility are the rich who also don't have to worry about being sent to war. The question is, how do we make them take responsibility?
Probably need to pass some kind of options when initializing. The command itself works fine, just shows a warning: warnings.warn("FP16 is not supported on CPU; using FP32 instead")
That still does not mean what he's doing is the right thing to do.
I wish you success and I hope the collaboration with google was financially rewarding but end of the day everything that doesn't work out would mentally hurt and thereby reduce chances of future successes. I would request you to kindly focus!
A substantial chunk of the tech industry are speculative zombie companies that are built on the edifice of zero interest.
No it isn't. That just means 2-3% of your content needs to be double-checked by a person at the audio level, saving huge amounts of time - equally true of human transcription, in which individual words are often [UNINTELLIGEBLE].

Would you want to review this fully before going into court, absolutely - because you'd want to play the recording to a jury for emotional impact. Can you rely on it when you want to quickly read through hours of conversation and make decisions about whether to invest further resources (which might just mean another hour of listening back to the original audio)? Also absolutely. Bear in mind that a lot of these errors have little to no semantic impact, being on the same level as typos or misspellings in a written communication.

Bear in mind too that if law enforcement (honest or not) is so interested in you that they're willing to record your conversations, your day is already ruined, you just don't know it yet. The change here is one of scale rather than quality.
You mean after the illegal annexation of the Crimea in 2014?
And to be honest they don't really need to anyway, the flights are full.
I think a fair number of people who live in countries divided among factional and/or ethnic lines would actually welcome certain undesirable parts of them splitting off. I know I would cry crocodile tears over Florida ending up as part of Cuba. Or Mexico. They can take Kentucky, too.

The problem here is that the war doesn't seem to be about Donbas.
What job market are you looking at? The small shops with help wanted? I don't know any tech companies on major hiring and not many small companies have had any big rounds to raise and grow on AFAIK...
This describes the problem, and outlines in very vague terms a solution. Essentially: believe what you believe, and reconcile yourself to the fact that other people believe what they believe, because there is not going to be a comprehensive set of facts we can all rely on in the future we're making. I'm on board with that philosophy, but that's been good advice for a long time, and I don't look around and see a lot people taking it. I wish there were a plan for how to get people to practice this.

This is probably also true.
I’m no expert here, so someone by all means correct me, but my understanding is that the fed rate correlates to the rate of interest the government has to pay on its debts. The higher the rate, the larger the chance that the government defaults which for the US would be catastrophic.
Seems to me an entire city doesn't need to be associated with the practice of kidnapping.
The company name could be 100% legit, there is nothing stopping you from a forming a company with that name and not even sell beef.
Attention by regulators.
If someone threatens you with violence, you are obliged to defend yourself.

The police often respond to completely nonviolent incidents, bringing guns into the situation, and then people die. That's entirely needless.

In Uvalde, the police arrived, armed and prepared, to a violent situation, and were unable to organize an effective response. School shootings should be a slam dunk to justify a militarized police, it's the literal "bad guy with a gun." But time and again they fail to respond effectively.

Violence is a one trick pony. Hurting people is the only thing it does well.
For those on NixOS, here's a quick and dirty flake.nix that will let you make a venv in which to "pip install"'

Any opinions on what this means for speech-to-text companies like rev.ai and assmembly.ai ?

We've tested open source solutions for s2t, like kaldi, but the quality was not good enough. However, one of the main advantages of a service like assembly.ai to me was that they offer sentence splitting in form of punctuation and speaker detection, which Kaldi does not.

So I guess I answered my own question to some degree: A S2T service is more than just S2T. We already see assembly.ai add more and more features (like summarisation, PID redaction ect.) that are a value-add to plain S2T.

Still, curious to hear what your take on that is.

one of the way to reduce the number of soldiers Russia would be able to send, is to specifically create favorable conditions for Russian dissidents to move out of the country; not preventing them from moving abroad
>Oh but they're not calling them monsters, they're simply calling them people who support a regime of monsters.

INADVERTENTLY. That's how taxes work. I disagree with different presidents and their policies and their actions, but I don't go to the people who oppose that president, but still pay federal taxes, and call them monsters. Hell, I've felt uncomfortable knowing that my tax money was used for things I disagreed with, but I also know that that did not make me a monster.

You are not a monster. Nobody thinks that you are. You got screwed by Namecheap, and that fucking sucks, but you are not a monster.

Quite possibly. It depends on what happens to supply and how desperate people are to sell.
The US rolls over debt by paying off debt with new debt. So interest rate hikes would eventually lead to a hike in interest payments on bonds.

Yes. And if you tell Ukrainian men and women to fight to their deaths, ask yourself if you would sacrifice own life (or your children's).
“Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.”

Please don’t get triggered by OP. He/she obviously means the ones that don’t support the war, have 0 influence about what the government does, and will be forced to go and die in a foreign country.

Having empathy for the Russians citizens that are going to die fighting a war they don’t support is not mutually exclusive to having sympathy for the Ukrainians.
You are avoiding the "fly in the ointment" that open source has always meant freedom to run it how, where, and for the purposes the user wants, from before the OSI even existed, and your and many other people's use is in fact not only an attempt to change the historical meaning, but a change that is motivated by the business interests of those who would like to profit off of selling software licenses while still calling that software "open source".

But sure, you are part of a movement to change the definition of open source to suit certain business interests in opposition to the original principles of freedom that motivated the concept of open source. I acknowledge that movement exists, and that you all are attempting to change the meaning of open source. People have tried to change the meaning of open source to suit their business interests since it began, but there is a new wave of invigorated effort to put holes in the meaning of open source to serve certain business interests. I don't think you have succeeded yet, and I hope you do not, and I'll keep pointing it out. If anyone can call anything they want open source, of course various business interests will, since it is viewed as an attractive label.
