Apple and photography processing at this point is like TSMC and chips. They probably have a great deal of algorithmic knowhow that is in house and they're doing things that no one else is quite getting close to at any of the big camera brands. Maybe just Pixel phones have some clue in's on some of the post processing hacks. I'd guess in the dark ex apple helped consult.
They don't, but sometimes a big vuln makes it into The New York Times or something and they get panicky
I agree. If you want to pay someone to sit on the bench because that has value to you ("Garden Leave"), I support that. If you want to twist their arm because you have power as an employer, nope. That's what labor law and regulation are for.

Lots of examples of malicious employers doing the latter, as you'll note the sentiment throughout the thread comments and laws intending to patch this bug in statute.

No it doesn't. If everyone owned an SUV but drove less and used public transportation we'd be on the right track. Getting everyone in cars is a losing battle.
> I am not willing to pay the price of my kids’ development.

I mean, sooner or later the people working in schools are going to be fed up with parents' constant refrain of "The whole world needs to sacrifice their health so I don't have to keep my kids at home for an extra week."

Somewhat similar to the healthcare workers' issues you mention in your comment.
Telegram should have the button available on iOS, but when one clicks on it, they get an error message that said feature is not available because of Apple's policies. Then provide a link to the Samsung Galaxy store.
That's attempting to solve a different problem (employee retention) than non-competes attempt to address in their original form.

For example, how does a company prevent (setting aside the "should they" debate) an employee from:

1) leaving and starting up a consultancy for installing former employer's software (competing with company professional services)

2) leaving and starting up a new company that is a competitor to the former company
I guess the physics of the problem are really against these tiny cameras, but even so the bokeh on the caterpillar macro shot is surprisingly painful. Is there anything they can do about that, optically or computationally?
Regulation can't trump individual morals, and is driven by collective ethics. Deepfakes still exist and are actively being made and developed, even though many platforms have regulated it. Ignoring the difficulty of passing a hotly debated premise, regulating would only limit the actions of those who align with the regulation - as the article demonstrates even if Google are cautious to release their DreamBooth model and specifics it doesn't take much for someone to replicate it, ignoring (or ignorant) of such concerns.

This is obviously something that we're going to have to collectively figure out - the technology is here and the technology is still being developed. Either we adapt our thinking or consider it taboo. Anything else (such as restricting usage to a "trusted subset") is just delaying the inevitable.
Yeah I went quasar. It just took too long and it's too commercial
Still weird to me that they don't have any "escape hatch". WD has sandisk, but Seagate is basically pure HDD as far as manufacturing goes. I guess I'm too bearish on the long term future of hard drives but it still doesn't look promising.
Having worked for an "enterprise" software biz, this is often because different customers can pay wildly different prices for the same software licenses. Often tailored less based on volume discounts or license type, and more around a customer's ability to pay.
I understand your point, but if he even gets a fraction of the talent they have to turn down at SpaceX or Tesla he'll do just fine.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm mostly a Windows user and terminal Linux user, but at odd times I find myself on Linux desktop. I'm currently fine with Windows 10, but since I have my task bar at the top of my screen - for accessibility reasons - I don't want to update to Windows 11. So IMHO my Windows future is unsure, that's why I'm looking at alternatives whenever I can.

I was just very curious and was hoping that someone like yourself responded to my question. You have peeked my interest and I will try and play with KDE in the near future. Thanks!
There are lots of hungry developers around that world that would kill to work 12/7 and take home 200k USD
The best engineers in the world working at SpaceX and Tesla disagree.

Here's Andrej Karpathy's (ex-Tesla, even better) take from a couple days ago on Lex's podcast.

Thank you very much! I will, full force on it :)
It's clearly just another packer, assuming you judge what the program is by what the program does.

Hard disagree about the marketing part as well. For something to classify as a successor to something else, it should at least provide feature parity for the core features of that something else (in this case extensibility).
I doubt that donating a sign gives Tony Guillo much of a voice in school policy. More likely it was done for a tax deduction and some free advertising.

I agree that prohibiting walking to school is a ridiculous thing, but I think it's more likely an extreme case of CYA by the school administration or local school board, afraid of getting blamed for anything that might happpen related to a student or parent walking to or from school.

I'm a PhD candidate (electrical engineering) intending to defend in early 2023. My work is in adaptive control using reinforcement learning. I combine classical control theory with machine learning. I apply my work to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and smart buildings. Previously I've interned in research roles at big companies (AWS), start-ups, and in adacemia.

Most recent software project is a multirotor simulation library: github.com/hazrmard/multirotor

Looking for research/engineering roles in industry in, or adjacent to, machine learning and controls.

It's the opposite. Set-Cookie takes the optional Domain attribute and "If omitted, this attribute defaults to the host of the current document URL, not including subdomains." However, perhaps you're remembering "Multiple host/domain values are not allowed, but if a domain is specified, then subdomains are always included." [0]

Some of the features I know from the Chinese space station

- Solar panels smaller in area than ISS but produces similar amount of power, indicating much more efficient solar panels

- Ion thrusters to keep space in orbit

- Automated docking of cargo and crew capsule. Semi-automated docking of large station components like the 23ton labs

- A robotic arm similar to ISS that walk along the joint points on the station. It has expandable attachment system, allowing not only astronauts to attach, but also a smaller more precises robotic arm to attach that can manipulate external experiments.

- It has a crew airlock and a cargo airlock, the cargo one is larger than the one on ISS.

- It can also release small satellites through the cargo airlock.

- Dozens of external experiment attachment points, some (maybe all) has power and control

- What looks like pretty good communication links with the ground. Experiments can be controlled and monitored from the ground, saving astronaut time.

- What looks like some advanced experiment equipment, including three very accurate atomic clocks, near absolute zero cooling systems etc. But I am not well versed in physics to speak on these.

- It will operate a space telescope; telescope can dock with the station for servicing and upgrades, and equipment uploaded by regular space station cargo ship.

I think it is a well-designed system, surprisingly capable in terms of research capabilities. As China's space industry is completely sanctioned by US and Wassenaar Arrangement, all technology here are from Chinese industries and local supply chains: materials, precision manufacturing, communication equipment, sensors used for guidance/automated docking, robotic arm, ion thrusters, solar panels, networking and control system within the station, even to the logistic system of building, launching and running the station. Then there is the whole rocket system themselves, 100% success rate thus far with CZ-5/B, CZ-7 cargo ship, and Shenzhou launch vehicle. And then the global positioning and communications satellite network. And then there is the whole research equipment part. There are millions+ ppl involved in all of the projects here.
I look at the database connections the following way: how many connections can a database really serve effectively? For a connection to be actively served the database really needs to have a cpu core working on it or waiting for IO from the storage. And I am completely omitting the fact that databases really need a sizeable amount of memory to be able to do things efficiently.

Even if you have a server with hundreds of cores your database probably can't be actively working on more than a small multiple of the number of the cores.

Targeted audience doesn't demand the feature.

If a users needs are being met by an iPhone then they shouldn't worry about dslrs.

If a users needs aren't being met by the dslr gotta wonder is it the technology or the skill of the user?
Dumb question. Can they just move back the engine and make the landing gears longer by making them retractable?
Whether or not your company has a procurement department should always be part of the equation when pricing enterprise deals. (Funding is an indicator of whether your company has one)

Smaller companies without procurement departments are quicker and faster to contract with and they pay on time. Bigger companies with procurement departments request last minute contract redlines and never pay on time (always at least 2 weeks late, as a rule of thumb).

“Contact us” pricing might benefit you if you are smaller. If you’re at a bigger company, the headache of dealing with your procurement department will inevitably (and justifiably) drive up the price - it’s the bureaucracy tax.

COMPANY: Swift Navigation, Inc - https://swiftnav.com/about-us

LOCATION: San Francisco, CA, USA | Remote (if close to Pacific timezone)

TYPE: Full time

DESCRIPTION: We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer in our Developer Infrastructure team -- seeking someone with 4-7 years of experience depending on how much Rust experience you have and your willingness to mentor or coach other developers. We use Rust for end user desktop applications, command line tools, and internal web services. Our work is about 60% Rust, 40% Python, C++ and other tech related to data pipelines (AWS, Kubernetes, ClickHouse, Grafana, etc). Swift Navigation provides precise location technology for mass market applications. We sell into several diverse markets, but primarily focus on automotive and small robotics. Our mission statement: to build a safer and more efficient future by changing the way we navigate and understand every centimeter of our planet.

ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: Negotiable, competitive base salary, adjusted for location, experience and market rates (paid in fiat currency). Additional compensation via stock option grants and performance based option grants. Depending on location: 401k and health insurance is provided as well.

REMOTE: Remote possible - requires quarterly visits to the office, must be within 1-2 hours of the US Pacific timezone, if you are east of the pacific time zone, this position may require shifting your hours into the later portion of the days (e.g. working 10-6, or 11-7).

VISA: Yes, but not for this position

CONTACT: Please submit your application via our jobs page: <https://www.swiftnav.com/join-us/jobs-listing?gh_jid=6374604...> or contact me here!
Vehicles also include construction cranes, dump and garbage trucks, etc. Those might have unlimited height, but weight is also a factor.

I'm split between an idea like Tokyo's underground mall areas (which work really well with climate control) and just over-specing several stories above ground for a platform layer that can be level across the whole city and completely free of non-emergency moving vehicles.
The sensors are small but the software is good. Night photography is easy on a recent smartphone and you don’t even need a tripod.
I used that comparison on purpose. Michael Bay leans on a lot of computer driven technology to shoot movies inspired by other more traditional directors. The comparison is direct, if you feel condescended to, I did not intend that.
And yet you said only illegal content should be moderated away, but spam isn’t illegal so…

(Politics and spam are also of course closely related, I get unsolicited donation SMS all the time.)
But if they're willing to pay it, it seems like it probably means this is a real issue rather than just a way to punish employees who leave, and it seems like they're reasonably compensating employees for the problem.
I agree. Rather than having legislators get into the weeds of defining "compete", "trade secrets", "customer poaching", etc., laws should simply require that enforcing ANY post-employment terms require the former employer to pay the former employee the greater of the employee's maximum salary plus 10% (to cover opportunity cost) or 110% of any offer by a prospective new employer. Who better than the company to price the value of what the former employee knows? Maybe cap enforcement to 2-3 years.

Arcwise | https://arcwise.app | Engineering | Full-time | SF or Remote (US)

At Arcwise, we’re on a mission to make analytics and data science accessible to anybody - starting with spreadsheet users. We're big believers that the spreadsheet interface is still unmatched when working with tabular data, but spreadsheets just haven't evolved to match the rapid pace of the modern data world. To fix that, we're building a platform to supercharge the spreadsheet to keep up with today's business needs.

We're a seed-stage startup that just came out of Sequoia's Arc Americas program and are looking to hire a founding full-stack engineer; the founders were previously leaders at Flexport and Meta across business, engineering, and data science. Our tech stack is currently TypeScript/React + Python + Terraform and we're working with the latest advancements in the modern data stack (e.g. dbt's new semantic layer).

For more information, see https://hiring.arcwise.app or email your CV to hiring@arcwise.app
Imagine making pricing decisions for a 40 billion dollar business on a fucking whim based on feedback from a famous author. I guess this is in character, given that Musk likes to price things with meme numbers already.
Am I the only one who doesn't add any inventions and doesn't care about a non-compete clause because I will never honor it and come at me bro if you want to try to enforce it?

I respect making sure the company doesn't steal someone's previous IP and I respect a company guarding their own IP. But I also respect that a person can work wherever the f they want without a previous company having any say.
And hopefully we shall see more open source projects flourishing on iDevices - Apple app store has crippled open source development on ios / iPadOS because it lets Apple exploits for-profit developers, while non-profit developers who can't or won't give in to the extortion are denied a platform for their software. It also has been in Apple's interest to not allow open source software to flourish here, as most of them are popular, free and avoid adware (which goes against Apple's tried and tested business model of extorting money from non-free software or pushing "free" apps to bundle ads through their ad platform).
ES6 is compatible with Node out of the box.

You can `import` and `export` just like in the browser (and in TypeScript) as long as your files come with the `.mjs` extension. Cherry adds this extension by default, so I imagine it comes with the server in mind.

You can also keep the `.js` extension and configure this behavior in the `package.json` to run the same files both client- and serverside.

Some libraries still expect to run as CommonJS, but then you might find an "es" version if you poke around in their repositories.
Being self-employed bootstrapped founder, I am not a subject to employer surveillance.

For me, more interesting aspect of this writeup is AI generated images and text. The copyrights and plagiarism issues and so called "AI" art will be on the rise with GPT-3 and DELL-E being mainstream.
The upcoming 7.3 release had PSNativeCommandErrorActionPreference which was an experimental feature to implement pipefail https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn.... It is no longer experimental and will be part of the actual release. This allows you to set `$PSNativeCommandUseErrorActionPreference = $true` rather than rely on `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'` which does more than just treat non-zero rcs as a failure which is nice.

Otherwise for older versions you can just do `my.exe; if ($lastexitcode) { "failure code here" }`. It's not nice but certainly not impossible to do.

Great concept! Love the time machine inspired UI for rewinding. And super-curious about the compression. My guess is it's by saving diffs/incremental changes to the screenshots using Computer Vision.
Treating people like what? Asking them to be productive and get shit done? Should Musk hand out hugs and participation trophies? Maybe little "You can do it!" stickers?

There are 7500 employees at twitter and nobody seems to know what they are working on. The bureaucracy at Twitter was poison and the entire company had lost billions under the old management.

The free lunch, wheatgrass smoothies, and safes paces are coming to an end. Get to work. That's why you're there. Don't want to work? Go pretend to work someplace else. It really is that simple.

The people who want to work will stay.

FWIW Dropbox had robust infrastructure to do exactly that when I was there as well as scanning for API keys in the main repository.

Certainly product code is going to conform to the pattern you've described, this sounds to me like some of the random non-product projects that may hit some external non-dbx API were not doing things properly and it flew under the radar for whatever reason. I highly doubt these API keys could have been used for much.

So yes, I agree with you, but here's some context.

> One time I tried biking through a drive through (the walk in doors were closed for some reason) and they threatened to call the police on me.

FWIW when I lived in Davis, CA (city logo: a bike) drive-thrus had the same policy. They usually disallow pedestrians and bikes for "safety & liability" reasons (whether those are reasonable is an exercise left to the reader)

Technically NYC commuter rail goes out about 1.5hrs.
I love the look and feel of macOS and other Apple things, mostly because they just work and seem polished. Also since Apple moved to ARM, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to start something like an Hackintosh. That's why, when looking at some screenshots, KDE has really peaked my interest. It looks like the team has gone in the same direction.

Guess the downvote means 'no'.
i think they are probably slightly disincentivizing leaving if they are only paying base salary.

someone who knows more will have to chime in, i didn't even remember this was called gardening leave
I also suspect Musk is intentionally trolling the press at this point.

He'll say random flippant things in meetings he know will get leaked. Those things don't happen. He trains his employees not to trust the news and gets to make a point about news trying to find an axe to grind.
Ah, mine was "only" three pieces... still the talk of the ER though :P They did insist on full anesthesia for the surgery (the fracture was unstable so I needed a plate). Glad to hear she recovered full range of motion; getting close myself.
Even if multiple independent sources deem the MAX safe after modifications, I will won't want to fly on one. Part of me wants to punish Boeing, even if the impact is minuscule in the grand scheme of things.

I think it depends a lot on how it is used. In the case of sabre, that is somebody's job. They use that interface everyday so the user needs to be able to use the interface efficiently and is willing to learn the shortcuts.

A sign up form that a given user will only use once in their lifetime is another matter. It needs to be simple lest the user abandons the process. Most users in that case are not willing to learn keyboard shortcuts, tabbing over optional fields probably makes more sense here.
In other words, it is that it's going to be very difficult for users to intuitively understand what "half ads" means and why they should pay for it.

It's a completely nonsensical compromise. Musk's product ideas for Twitter seems to assume that what everyone wants is for Twitter to be more complex, with more knobs to fiddle with.
But in this case the "new thing" is a warning system that is found in almost all modern planes. It's not new to Boeing or its pilots, is an industry standard, and doesn't require novel engineering practices. It sounds like Boeing painted itself into a corner once again (this time with the Southwest orders), and doesn't want to eat the engineering/certification cost to get out "the right way" by implementing this system in its existing avionics. Boeing should feel the consequences of its actions, including lost profits, and play by the rules.
