It is an interesting take and it reminds of the thoughts that made crypto what it is today, which made something the lines of:

"Old systems suck and our new system is great and it is new technology. Therefore old rules do not apply to it."

Not surprisingly, the moment crypto started gaining traction, everyone was quickly made to understand that rules do indeed apply even if it is a new a facet of finance regulations ( or in the case of Copilot copyright law ).

For the record, I am sympathetic to your sentiment, but you can't really expect existing interests to accept a major change if it happens to undermine someone's way of life and, possibly, alter the current legal landscape. And this may end up a much bigger change than expected and may finally usher in the era management always wanted.
If "he" does most of these, he is definitely not hiding his attitude.
I really think VR is not the right medium for this kind of 'game'. Movement in VR is still being done with teleportation, it's just not a natural thing to do.

VR is best enjoyed sitting, in cockpit games like racing and flying, that's where VR really shines.

VR is the reason which got me completely hooked to simracing, which I just couldn't enjoy enough doing on a monitor. I did experience some sickness, but it was very brief. Driving in reverse took me some more time to get used to, but eventually all motion sickness dissapeared.

> For some reason, great tech often comes with “strings attached”... why can’t we have these things in mainstream, “day job”-grade languages with a human face.

Because mainstream languages make it expensive to implement new features. Eg, Python has made it to 3.10 and unless something changed in the last few releases there is still no answer to threading macros. Even if there was, Python doesn't let people sneak the feature in by a library which really delayed the whole thing. And Python is popular with the data science people, we know a whole bunch of them have seen Hadley Wickham's much-nicer-than-SQL relational algebra DSL that depends heavily on threading macros. Instead, Python has ... sqlalchemy, perhaps. Not a bad effort, but also no dplyr. <EDIT> Oh yeah, I forgot pandas. Maybe that works? Still not really tapping into the natural flow that threading can bring to the situation, and I think it is arguable as to whether it qualifies as a DSL. I stand by my example, Even if pandas is fit for task I don't think it opens up interesting opportunities like Hadley's use of threading did.</EDIT>

Is this good? Is it bad? Simple Python is good Python. But if you want to know why it doesn't have interesting experimental features, my call is because they were designed out of the language unless someone invests a huge amount of work. Most other mainstream languages will be similar.
> It's a bubble, 99/100 crypto companies are going to crash and burn, or already have.

I'm sure this is the 990th time that I have heard this. The fact is, it isn't going away and it seems even more crypto companies have taken interest in using Rust and that is good.

Even some (crypto) companies are sponsoring the Rust Foundation as silver members. Nothing wrong with that. [0]

Yeah, it's interesting to see them become a part of Java with records, sealed types, and pattern matching. However, I haven't seen much uptake yet.

My ex (and still one of my best friends!) was (is?) a first responder for the Pacific North-West (think oil-spills on mountains and other ecological problems). She was required to have a land-line. It was great that it would forward to a mobile, and lacking that, dump back to a battery-backed-up voice mail unit on-premises (possibly more).

OT: Her position seemed unique to me -- working for <whatever> $company, she would get alerted/activated for things in the Canada AND the U.S. And they would do the thing of "Where are You? ....... There's a heliport at X - we'll have a 'copter there in 15 minutes" and then I get to send her away clutch when I got home.
A clickbait title behind which there is a yet another article about COVID.
Discussed yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33223953
Second bullet point under The Result.
I wasn’t comparing to nor defending Tesla’s self driving system. I was just clarifying that Cruise’s cars are not “available” to the public. I was surprised to learn this, so I thought other might have missed this fact as well.
You should not be surprised. Choosing 'fun' names is subjective. This is a tool, not a disney ride. Not everything needs to trigger dopamine rushes and it's ok to have clear, straightforward names in software, seeing as naming things is hard.
Sounds like normal foreign relations/diplomacy. It's all grey areas where politicians politick and diplomats maneuver to get what they want without anyone losing face.
The supply shock has occurred. What's happening now is a process of adaptation, which will go on for months, if not years. Higher costs will certainly see changes in industry. But I fail to see how this article exhibits normalcy bias
> So people published code that could be referenced and copied on GitHub. There was no ethical problem, the world, society were happy.

This code has different licenses. You can't just copy code randomly without checking license first.

Copilot serves it stripped of the license to unaware users. Even if copilot user wants only to reuse code licensed in a way that allows it copilot will serve him code from restrictive licenses without him being aware.
I don't think there are that many people with deep knowledge of crypto working in the 'crypto' scene.
You can of course pay via card or cash too, but the default experience is the waiter leaving the check with a QR code on your table, expecting you to pay by scanning it.

I‘ve seen a variation of this (in the UK) where they really only bring a QR code, and you can‘t even read the amount without a phone. Presumably you have to ask for a printed check if you want to pay by cash or card, introducing another unnecessary step into the process. (Coincidentally they also initially brought me the wrong QR code since they are only labeled very discreetly, momentarily shocking me with a large group‘s check.)

What is httm?
I like this script as a proof of concept.

But i still can imagine failure modes, eg. inotify might start acting weird when ZFS remounts the watched directory, OOM killer terminates it without anyone noticing, bash loop go haywire when package manager updates that script (bash is running directly from the file and when it changes during execution, it might just continue running from the same byt offset in completely different script).

All these things actualy happened to me in the past. Not to say that if you have multiple datasets in ZFS you cannot inotify wait on all of them at once, so you will have to manage one bash process per dataset. And performance of bash and sudo might not be that awesome.

So for real reliability you would probably want this to actualy run in ZFS/kernel context...

Restoring EU Economic Stability Through Investment in Renewables [pdf]
> Lastly if the argument is about that the tech makes it "possible to fully or substantially recreate any given existing work" using deliberate and specific inputs, well we've had plenty of legal precedent on that too. The same arguments were made about Xerox machines, about cassette tapes, about VCRs, about CD-Rs. The copyright holders pretty much lost in every case. At the point you are taking specific and deliberate actions to knowingly infringe on copyright is the point where the technology used is no longer relevant. The right inputs can be used to infringe on the copyright of Star Wars at any typewriter or computer keyboard in the world. The right inputs can be used to infringe on the copyrights of The Beatles at virtually any instrument. It is the act of infringing, not the technology, which is relevant here

There is a significant difference here though, a Xerox machine or a VCR itself does not contain a representation of the art they are copying, a DL network does. I am pretty certain the cases around Xerox/VCRs etc would have had a pretty different outcome if you could type a prompt into your machine "print a story about some kids in a wizard college fighting against the comeback of an evil sorcerer" and it would have put out something closely resembling Harry Potter.
Imagine sitting on your porch, some hundred feet or so away from the street.

A regular motorbike passing might clock in a good 70dB of noise on a decibel meter. You can easily talk over that.

A two-stroke enduro bike with an illegal exhaust, however, can put out over 110dB in the same setting. That is a 10,000 times more intense sound.

This. Banks have to cater to customers with all levels of technical abilities for compliance, plus they may rely on older on-prem IAM systems that don't support TOPT.
As a latex user (primarily, I do use MS word for small docs sometimes), this is moot because it does all the spacing for you on compile. Though, when co-authoring with double spacers, it still bothers me because you can plainly see them in the source text.
Perhaps your CV is very focused on technologies or development? I am a freelancer and have at least two major versions of my CV that I use depending on the role.

One of them is very technical and emphasizes on my background as a developer. The other is more business/leadership focused. It is the exact same person, the exactly same experience just a shift of focus.

So I do not think that your profile necessarily miss anything, you sound fully qualified to take on the role as Solutions Architect, but perhaps that does not come across strongly enough from reading your CV, if that is all they have to from their opinion on.
They have been around for a while at this point. 20+ years of good work.
But people might not want to face life with a tablet strapped to their face hiding the real world. AR, like the annotations on various sci-fi movies, strikes me as useful. I can see the world and have various levels of detail and explanation overlaid as desired. Miniaturization and micro networking can/will result in glasses that are no more clunky than some styles.

This assumes people can properly focus at short range, or that graphics tricks can “fix” the problems of the astigmatic or far-sighted.
I didn’t realize that the concept of absolute or universal truths was so boring that it needed an “ancient aliens” style rebrand.
Global recession for sure can be blamed for most thinks in EU right now, as we just have a lot less money to spend cause of energy prices, inflation and enormous number of refuges which make prices of basic goods even higher (In some places from 3 to even 10% [Poland] of all population living there are people from Ukraine). And Central Europe isn't prepare for that.
> Too bad most of the Rust jobs right now seem to be in crypto.

It is not really surprising that the crypto bros jumped onto the bandwagon, the tech got hyped just around the same time. Just, one of them correctly. :)

It's just a shame that other companies don't seem to follow suit. Except some, who always ask for "Senior Rust Developer" which I'd guess is still a limited supply market. :D
But what is stopping them from offering both? You can have the SMS 2FA as the default option, but also offer TOTP for the technically minded.
Ukraine is fighting its own fight but it's far from alone.
I see plenty of jobs for software engineers in (Western) Europe advertised on LinkedIn these days. I got a new job a few months ago, and I certainly can't notice the "lay off/recession" effect (yet). Perhaps the number of jobs 2 years ago was N, and today it's N/5, but N/5 is still an incredible high number for what's going on in other industries.
The double period provides rhythm to writing.

With a typewriter...I have one...that rhythm is important.

It separates the rhythm dictated by line length from the rhythm of ideas.

I can, and often do, replace the rhythm of the double space with the rhythm of a double return.

Or, as here, a double enter.

But yes, I am over forty.

Still every generation thinks they invented sex.
> can't be caught off guard by China as EU was caught off guard by Russia.

There's always a bigger fish.

The last time nations were obsessed with autarky, we got WW1, and soon after, WW2.

Most countries (i.e. every country not suffering from a drastic case of the resource curse) have the nature that if they trade a lot with another country, either country would lose economic value if they invade the other, _even if_ that invasion goes off stellarly well with almost no losses: The populace doesn't like being subjugated and produces significantly less.

In an inbalanced trade/dependency relationship, such as Saudi Arabia's oil vs. the rest of the world, or Russia's gas vs. europe, it's actually _both_ sides that are dependent on the other. It's the dutch curse all over again.

Go back in time:

* Europe wants more gas to grow its economy, and doesn't have enough on its own soil.
* Russia has more than plenty and is willing to sell it.
* We enter a period of years where europe companies and countries more and more build industry that isn't going to work out without the relatively cheap russian gas. As these industries continue to succeed and russia continues to be a reliable supplier, ever more industry takes the leap and becomes dependent on it.
* This sounds like handing off quite the 'weapon' to your supplier, but, the problem is, that supplier is now just as dependent on this relationship as the consumer is: Russian economy falls apart without the trade of europe-produced goods (a lot of it by industries that run on russian gas), just as fast as europe falls apart without russian gas.

Thus, if russia were to invade europe, russia's economic value falls off a cliff, and the same applies to a lesser extent to europe. The only reason europe could in theory invade russia (assumes a perfect invasion, no nukes, no significant resistance at all, just a dejected populace), is because russia's primary value is not particularly dependent on human capital.

My theory about why this theory didn't work out and russia invades ukraine is a mix of:

* Misunderstanding by Russia of world/Europe response to this invasion.
* Too much power in one person, who, like most people surrounded by yay-sayers for 20 years, has lost grip on reality.
* Most of all, a ticking clock: Europe has stated they want to wean themselves off of fossil fuel within a decade or so. And so they should, but it's a torpedo to the trade dependency relationship between europe and russia.

That last one is the economic argument: Russia had to do something or their economy would fall apart if europe delivers on their plans to rapidly reduce their dependence on (russian-supplied) gas.

Thus, autarky -> war. Because if you're doing economically better than your neighbouring country, you produce more weapons and more people, and just invade em, why not.

We can trade the risk of what happened to europe, or what is likely to happen if china and the west become autarkic relative to each other (namely, that china invades taiwan) - with nukes and MAD. But that's got its own problems.
Looks like PG was inspired by reading Project Hail Mary, and decided to be philosophical about it :)
It isn't. The title was "migrations." I tend to write my systems in "layers," which makes "migrations" easier. With layers, you can plan a migration in steps. With monoliths, you'd be best advised to pray.

We have a "data" migration, coming up; but probably not for a few months. It will be handled in a similar manner.

And I have watched "wipe the slate clean" migrations, done, several times. In some cases, they were not deliberate, but the migration screwed up the data so badly, it had to be binned.
I think Facebook’s decision to focus on news and other reshare type content was specifically because they were losing market share in the family pictures segment. Millennials were leaving the platform in droves and FB knew its best option to maintain growth was to leverage its enormous vats of data to make its News Feed a political tool.

Anecdotally, very few of my friends share original content on FB anymore. It all goes on Instagram or Twitter.
Having FB on your resume can leave a stench indeed. Depends a bit on context though, it's a big place. Going into crypto today, that's a pretty clear lack of judgement.
that's the definition of truth. all truths are fixed.
But when politicians and diplomats make a miscalculation, soldiers die.

Perhaps a little off topic, but I have thought about this a bit: the type of consciousness and ways of acting in physical reality would probably be very different for digital vs. biology-based life. As strangely different alien biological life might be, true AI will be stranger, unless it is designed and evolves to emulate us in some sense.

I am reading the sci-fi book The Sea of Rust right now, that takes place on earth after AI’s have finally killed the last humans. In this fictional work, AIs take on human traits and I don’t find that “believable” even for sci-fi.
Yes, I mentioned that. And I think it would be great if GitHub added some sort of scan to see if it was accidentally returning some verbatim code and gave a link to the repo it came from, but the situation with Google was much more clearly harmful: by scraping and presenting verbatim quotes, they are directly siphoning web traffic away from the sites they scrape from, and many of those sites make money based on page views. That is direct economic harm, and the actual impact was significant for many companies, not merely theoretical.

With open source code, the harm is much less tangible, since negligibly few open source projects make money from people going to their GitHub pages because they're searching for code snippets (not zero, but almost). My guess is that an honest quantification would put the lost revenue due to Copilot's existence in the tens to maaaaaybe hundreds of dollars. Courts look at that type of thing, which is why I don't think this will end up being an issue, at least in the US. Europe is wild, who knows what they'll do there, and that's where activists on this topic should most wisely apply pressure, you can always convince someone in government there to throw a spear at a BigCo. You won't take them down, but you may get them to negotiate, and I don't even necessarily think that's a bad thing.

That said, even in the US, if enough people make noise then things could change, so I encourage you to speak to your congressperson (I will be as well, but arguing the other side, because I really do think this is fair use and I'd like to see it enshrined as such explicitly, because this fight is going to be extremely common over the next few decades).
It’s also in the US’ strategic interests to simply make it clear that China can’t have Taiwan regardless of the TSMC however
lol this is hilarious. We are talking about the highest paid people in the world here.. "sweat shop"
Is this site gone because of the migration? I get a spam blog on that domain.
There is a more simple explanation - if China wants a boat to travel from anywhere to Guangzhou, Tianjin or Shanghai then at the moment the boat has to pass close by an island that is a US ally. If China controlled Taiwan, that would no longer be true and they'd have easy access to the Pacific.

For the last 300? 400? years the dominant global superpower has been a naval power. You don't need to be a Leninist or a "true believer" to see China's future glory being helped by controlling Taiwan.
If I have the $5 in cash for the bill and no credit card, what are they really going to do about it? Call the cops? Let me go without paying?
I feel like it may have been a better idea to move the congress to some time in the summer, because public health restrictions in the winter don't seem to go away.

We've had vaccines since early 2021, and the 2021 winter still had restrictions, now we're two years down the road and looking at another wave and another restricted winter.

I don't see how it's going to be substantially different for the 2023 winter unless there's some new revolutionary thing (e.g. vaccine that prevents infection and spread) or COVID kills itself through evolution.

After smartphones, what comes next?
I have no idea how much headphones normally draw, so I googled and the first replacement battery I found was for the Bose QuietComfort 20, and the product listing for the battery said 240mAh/3.7V (which is 0.888 Wh) while the product listing for the headphones said "lasts 16 hours", implying 55.5 mW.

At 10% efficiency, a 3cm by 10cm PV in direct sunlight will produce 0.3 W, enough to fully charge that in about 3 hours, and the potential for charging faster than it drains whenever ambient light is at least 18.5% of direct sunlight.

Indirect sunlight on a clear day is about that at best; Overcast days are about 1% of direct sunlight; Normal office lighting is about 0.3-0.5% of direct sunlight.

So, a 1 hour lunchtime walk on a sunny day while using them, would likely be somewhere between neutral and recharging by 4 hours 20 minutes.

That said, I have no reason to expect Bose (first random search result) to optimise for minimal power draw, given how small and light the battery is and still gets 16 hours, and I don't know if there's room for improvement with these in that regard.
I've had this happen with doctors as well. Not the whole torches thing? That seems wierd to me. Additionally also teachers and police do this.

I as a project manager and tech implemented a solution in parallel to an old system. I had a pilot group who approved, but that group wasn't selected by me. It didn't include anyone important or basically anyone who cared.

The 'powers that be' said go forward and when the doctors were told about the new system them walked off the job. Literally all of them. I wasnt the one who picked the software, I just installed it. Still made me feel very small. I learnt years later that whole software package was never used and the doctors walked out again to demonstrate against 'the old software they have to deal with'

I basically learnt we were just an excuse to take a break.

My experience with teachers was a different one. I implemented a new 5ghz N aironet with controller for 1 school. Didnt inform anyone because the actual connectivity mechanism wasnt going to change. Teachers all walked out because... wifi causes cancer. Mind you, its not like I really introduced anything particularly new.

Police was more old school, it was more along the lines of 'we arent techsavvy enough to use that'. But this was only so many years ago, it wasnt really appropriate anymore.
