> We haven't blocked the domains, we are asking people to move. There are plenty of other choices out there when it comes to infrastructure services so this isn't "deplatforming". I sympathize with people that are not pro regime but ultimately even those tax dollars they may generate go to the regime. We have people on the ground in Ukraine being bombarded now non stop. I cannot with good conscience continue to support the Russian regime in any way, shape or form. People that are getting angry need to point that at the cause, their own government. If more grace time is necessary for some to move, we will provide it. Free speech is one thing but this decision is more about a government that is committing war crimes against innocent people that we want nothing to do with.

Yeah I'll take all your downvotes. My family got out and I don't appreciate companies calling me a monster by accident of my birth on the wrong side of an arbitrary historical border.

Do you know how American presidential elections work? It would require thousands (not millions) of votes in specific states. Popular vote (where Biden beat Trump handily) is not how elections are decided here.
This is like that modular phone thing that I haven't heard about in forever. I'm not sure how making a device appealing to 60K folks, maybe, makes any sense.
Indeed. Especially when the west in question is systemically important. How were you shorting?
The Rise of the Garden Empires
On a couple of occasions, I’ve had to work with one particularly poor SaaS provider. Every time this has happened, my colleagues and I have wondered exactly how bad it has to be there that we were seeing… those results.

One day, somebody looked them up on Glassdoor. There were multiple reviews stating directly “working there made me suicidal”. Not in a hyperbolic way.

The strangest thing about it was that all of the reviews, including the ones mentioning suicide, listed “provides free fruit” as their favourite perk.

Google's recorder app for android will let you record audio files and make some transcriptions, right on the device.
I think you are mixing the levels of abstraction here.

* Physicians apply the scientific method to medicine

* Electricians apply construction techniques to electrical construction

* Lawyers apply logic and reason to legal problems for a certain region

* Medical device software manufacturers apply software engineering to medical devices

The regulation should be done at the application of software engineering to X industry. The FDA for example, regulates the application of software engineering to the medical device industry.

Apparently, neither Russia nor "the Western alliance" is willing to settle this war.

Again and again I see on German television that when someone tries to outline the current situation rationally, they are immediately bludgeoned by an emotional opposition. It seems that we Germans have recently become more and more disgusted with putting things into perspective.

Whereas it used to be a punishable offence to relativise the Holocaust (which was a very good general consensus for a long time due to it's impact), it now seems to have been extended to Corona, the Ukraine war and, in fact, any other topic. Actually, one is not allowed to relativise anything anymore - otherwise one is immediately considered an insensitive egoist.

Understanding for the opposing side? Then you are a troll on Putin's side. Conductors and singers are dismissed and declared persona non grata for not explicitly opposing Putin. As if only people with the correct attitude are allowed to perform art. Haven't we been through this before?

I grew up with Babylon 5, and have virtually absorbed its philosophy. "Never start a fight, but always finish it" was one of those phrases. We should have learned from the history of the First World War that more soldiers and more weapons do not solve wars. Not without a clear strategy to achieve certain realistic goals.

So well-paid journalists, who never leave their desks, sit in the talk rounds and demand more heavy artillery. Because of the dead children and so on. But is even one of them asked what specific military goal is to be achieved? To bring Russia to its knees? That they should never be able to make territorial claims again?

Wakey, wakey! We have been through this before. Especially Germany. Didn't end too well, by the way.

And I really seriously ask myself whether anyone wants to end this war at all. Or whether the feigned naivety is just to hide the fact that they just want to be the winner again. And everyone else should get a bloody nose because this time we are on the right side. As always.
The issue I have is for most open source projects you can't even write them a big check.

Out of the open source projects I use:

* Symfony - It's 50/50 on if you could write them a big check. Symfony is a legal entity but it's well known they're affilated with SensioLabs who you could write a check to.

* PHPUnit - The maintainer runs a consultancy group, so possibly but maybe not. It may not be worth his time to provide support even if you're willing to part with lots of money.

* Doctrine - You can buy a support contract via a third party but that is a very minimum support set up from what I see. And honestly, I don't know who would honor it since it's a group project and doesn't have a legal entity.

* PHPSpec - Not possible

* Brick Money - Not possible.

* Behat - Not possible

* Guzzle - Not possible

* Gorilla Websockets - Not possible

* PHP - Not possible - Maybe via Rougewaves but they're not part of PHP development any longer.

While many larger open source projects it is indeed possible to get support from third party companies and sometimes from the original developers. For many large open source projects it simply isn't.

Commerical products that are open source you can get support for.

I can imagine a database which tries to solve both of these domains.

A centralized database handles consistency, and vends data closures to distributed applications for in-process querying (and those closures reconcile via something like CRDT back to the core db).

Does this exist?
Yes. NFTs have actually solved a real problem in the art world. I've said it many times before here so you can browse through my comment history to see why.

Spoilers: - saying "but there is fraud" is not an argument agaisnt NFTs, because actually an automated solution for NFT fraud is conceivable. And the fact that there is fraud does not take away from the thousands of artists using it legitimately. Plus, authenticating you are buying from a real artist in the NFT space is actually not that hard.
It seems clear that such training of AIs requires copying an image onto a computer system in which the training algorithms are performed. Maybe that fits in Fair Use (I doubt it: it's commercial and harms the original creators) but it certainly doesn't fit in Fair Dealing (in UK).

I certainly, personally, approve of weak copyright laws that allows for things like training AIs without getting permission; neither USA, EU, nor UK seem to have such legislation however.

This is all personal opinion and not legal advice, nor related to my employment.

It's a great way to deploy if you have the RAM and disk.

Bump up the shared buffers, have a multithreaded or pooled driver for your app server so connections are not being opened and closed all the time.

It really 'flies' under such a scenario.

True. The potential of GPT-3 to cause internet mayhem was/is significant. I would argue that the mere act of announcing it was still a catalyst for an eventual GPT-3-like model being released. In revealing it, they established a target for what open source models could aim to achieve, and simultaneously got bad actors thinking about ways to abuse it.
A little presumptuous of you to tell people who just barely escaped being thrown into a meat grinder how to spend what little money they might have.
Nice! TBH I maybe didn't give it enough of a chance, but I booted it up and played the first few areas, and definitely my impression was "okay, yeah, but I'd really rather just be playing more Ratchet & Clank or A Hat In Time."

You can enable the hotkey support by blacklisting the hid-sensor-hub driver:
vi /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.conf
Add the following:
blacklist hid-sensor-hub
And then restart

It worked, but it needed `hid_sensor_hub` with underscores!
and `sudo update-initramfs -u` before the reboot
You're avoiding the fly in the ointment, which is that the definition of "open source" that is advocated by the OSI is not without controversy and does not necessarily comport with how the term "open source" is used in everyday language. (I don't really care what Richard Stallman thinks here, FWIW.) Thus it's not immediately clear to me that you can say without reservation that software with available, noncommercially-licensed source code fails to be "open source" -- as when I use "open source" I and many others mean something different from what the OSI means.
There have been plenty of protests across Russia since this announcement, as well as since the invasion of Ukraine began in earnest earlier this year. It is also illegal to speak out against the war in Russia, so that statistic is likely specious at best.

Given that, are you arguing that you are holding every Russian citizen accountable for the sins of the ruling class? Do you believe in nuance?
America's crime is due to drug abuse and the government not enforcing criminal laws. People aren't stealing food to eat, they're stealing alcohol and anything they can sell to buy drugs.

I don't play chess, and this story doesn't particularly interest me, but since it keeps coming up and I've now read several articles on it...

It seems to me that the entire chess community is absolutely ruining this guy's life on an accusation without any proof. This chess champ had clout to burry this guy with a tweet.

Carlsen won't play in future tournaments where this guy is also there and won't do a rematch. It seems like he is just sulking.

From an outsider of the game, without any proof and without a rematch, everyone is destroying Niemann unjustly. Comedians ripping into him.

This scandal has removed any interest I may have had in competitive chess not because of the possible cheating, but how the chess world handled it.

I actually think there is a huge potential to decentralized applications, but this is essentially faith for now so I won't add much more to the discussion.

I suspect Whisper is more robust than other "SOTA" models, but this release is likely leaving a fair bit of accuracy on the table considering the amount of resources OpenAI is capable of throwing at training it.

Comparing the readily available test sets from the paper to some of my personal robust models (for the Talon models, this is greedy decoding, no language model):

Talon Talon Talon Whisper wav2vec 2.0
28M 300M 1B Large 960h
librispeech clean 3.21 2.52 2.40 2.7 2.7
librispeech other 8.21 6.56 5.63 5.6 6.2
common voice 13.88 11.65 8.86 9.5 29.9
tedlium 7.51 6.55 5.47 4.0 10.5

I have a battery of more difficult tests on hand (including adversarial tests, and diverse accent-specific metrics). I'll look at running these tests on each of the Whisper model sizes and following up with a larger comparison.

You're right. Saying that you don't want to use violence to enforce laws sounds a lot like you don't want to enforce laws.

If one is not willing to use force for enforcement... does one have enforcement?

According to Google, the size of Dallas / Fort-worth metroplex area is 9,286 square miles. That is 28,764,444,444 yards / 7 billion people = each person gets 4 square yards.

So while a 6'x6' space isn't a lot, you could fit the whole population of the earth in just one area with plenty of room around each person.

I think politics and greed are a bigger cause of starvation and pollution than population size.

Asking for a friend…
Hi, we are facing the same story for one of our CONNECT customers. This customer is simply a garden that sells tickets to visit the garden. Somehow Stripe connected that with cannabis sales. There is no cannabis anywhere on their garden. Now sure what kicked off this account closer.

Worst part is not that the account was closed. Worst part is that Stripe is not asking or giving any proofs/comments/data. They are simply sending templated replies. Its like talking to a robot while someones livelihood may be connected to this being resolved.

Also overall our dispute ratio is almost Zero. People visiting gardens dont dispute their visits. So frustrating.
Chromebook ecosystem is completely saturated with low end / low cost devices so there is not a segment of the market there that is not being met. Even the "high end" devices are often computationally anemic (Pixelbook series with Y series CPUs and eMMC drives). As a Chromebook user I am glad there are at least 2 high end options now (Framework and HP Elite Dragonfly).
What steps do you think you'll be taking to never have to deal with this again?
Homebrew informs you about our analytics behaviour before we send any data with a link to the documentation (https://docs.brew.sh/Analytics) which in turn links to the code on new installations and on existing ones if you haven't updated since we enabled analytics.
I think you're overestimating the problem. Here in the UK, banks send out physical 2FA devices (card readers, little calculator style devices, etc) for those who don't want something eg linked a smart phone app. They're easy enough to use for anyone who can use online banking, and those who don't need or want online banking don't need them.
I mean, HP's Elite DragonFly Chromebook is 50% more...
These pods were good for pre-covid (in-office) virtual interviews. You step away from your desk, hop in a pod and do a virtual interview or phone screen.

Or if you just needed a quiet moment away.

But yes, they get very hot and suffocating after 1 hr. Worse yet, some people would eat in them (instead of "just" eating at their desk) and so they would smell like the inside of an office microwave.
Ukraine deserves all the support it can get. From NATO and othet allied / supporting nations. Private donations a drop in the bucket.

Reminder: If Afghan or other refugees from the various wars and occupations in that region of the world send money to finance resistence, we in the West have a tendency to call it funding of terrorism.
Well forgive me if I'm misrepresenting you, but "I would have listened to your argument if you phrased it differently, you just aren't expressing yourself well" is something people often say when they're being dismissive, and I don't believe significantly more people would be receptive to "defund the police" if it has been phrased a little differently.

The requests to water down the rhetoric would simply continue until it was diluted down to, "we should do something nonspecific about this problem which may exist."

Now, 300KW of solid state laser power in a single truck-sized unit. It's getting serious.

Military sources have been saying for years that laser weapons would start to be useful when they passed 100KW. Previous laser weapon systems have been much weaker, or way too big to deploy. Megawatt-sized chemical lasers go back to the 1980s [1] but that was a sizable fixed installation. The U.S. Navy is up to 150KW now.[2]
Israel's Iron Beam system is in the 100KW-150KW range, and scheduled for deployment next year.

This may be the answer to massed attacks with drones, small boats, or small rockets.

The biggest problem I have with React is that it’s not reactive.

And the biggest problem I have with hooks is that they make functional components non-functional.

This is starting to look like a pattern… :)
It's a thing for architects, and sometimes product owners. Regular-old programmers could care less what they build or how or if it will work; they'd rather write code randomly than model. The Agile paradigm dictates that those regular-old programmers control the work, so most work today doesn't use rigor. If you're lucky you'll run into people using C4 diagrams and ADRs, but more frequently "big ball of mud" diagrams.

Such issues are true of any economic system I can think of.
> problem in 2008 is correlated risk — basically, the difference between rolling once per mortgage (uncorrelated defaults) or just once that impacts all the mortgages (correlated defaults)

It was ignoring solvency != liquidity. Most of the structured mortgage products paid out fine. You really can skim cream off crap through payment prioritisation. But that was not clear ex ante. If you’re leveraged or in dire straits, that a security will pay as promised over the coming decade is little comfort when it’s going at a dime on the dollar.
> Even on a device designed to support Linux (Framework, Thinkpad, whatever)

There's apparently a world of difference. Nothing about the Framework suggests it was designed for Linux.

A proper Thinkpad does not have issues with hibernation, or losing battery, or graphics, or any of the other things you mentioned.

I just want something that works, and will receive updates as long as there are users. I don't want to muck about with VMs, or Crostini, or whatever it's called. Sounds like I must never let go of my Thinkpad.

This is actually the first I’m hearing of Chrome OS supporting Linux apps out of the box.

I always dismissed Chrome OS as a glorified iPad or Android tablet with a keyboard and desktop.

I’m mostly happy with my Linux-based HP dev one, but this is causing me to seriously consider a Chromebook (like this Framework variant) next upgrade.
But this will decide whether it's democratised or locked-up by those who own large bodies of training data.

Some resume tips (not a professional, just a software engineer who has looked at lots of resumes):

- Keep it to one page. Not a hard and fast rule, but generally recommended. The times where 2 pages is generally more acceptable is when you're a senior engineer with serious breadth of experience.

- Maximize space on the page. Goes along with the previous point, but your resume can be tight. I personally used a smaller font with less spacing.

- List fewer, but your most prideful projects. Interviewing and reading resumes leads to fatigue fast. When I have to read resumes, I have to read a ton, and they all start to blend in.
