Just wanted to come back and defend you (a little :-)

I read "if you have a million database connections then you are doing it wrong" less as a ad hominem attack and more as "if one is doing X one should try a different approach"

I did like the "architectural strategy" of I can call it that of batching the calls. It's "tricks" like that, expressed at this level that are somehow missing from the common software dev parlance. They are not in l33tcode tests, they don't fit into neat boxes but they are vital "common knowledge"

I wish I had a better term for these sort of optimisations.

Anyway. Thanks for the comment. Don't take the blowback personally - frankly I was surprised even if it was a small storm in a teacup.

And always do as dang says ;-)
If the medical staff influence the delivery time, they in turn are influenced by everything else, like vendors and traffic accidents. While obstetricians are not fungible with trauma surgeons, and nurses are only slightly more fungible (because they tend to work in a particular ward), they all have to deal with the pharmacy and anesthesiology, etc. I don’t know if they share surgical theaters, but you can’t reuse a surgery until it is clean and functioning, I think those crews would definitely be floating.

I don’t know much of anything about the other people in the OR, if the assistants stick to a particular group of surgeons or float. The people handling tools and gauze pads (which sounds like a dumb job but someone has to be sure that 12 pads and a clamp went into your abdomen and exactly that number came back out at the end), clamps, retraction, suction, IV and gas monitoring, etc etc. Those are somewhat specialized to the task but I don’t know if they are specialized to a surgical unit or if the same people who help with a appendectomy also assist with a finger reattachment or spinal surgery. If they do a surgery could get bumped for scheduling conflicts, or shift changes.
it is probably very easy to bypass, by creating a sub package that can do the decoding via proxy functions, which is not evil at all, and depending on that package on the evil one. It won’t trigger the alarm, as it is indirectly depending on the base64 :)
I personally didn't find it _that_ misleading.
i think you’re just a bit unlucky.

The point is that "he did a phenomenal job early in his career" rather misses that his early career is more "incredibly mixed bag containing disastrous missteps" than universally "phenomenal".
I'd be very eager to jump to a well-paying rust job that didn't involve web3 in any way. Sadly not too many of those near me yet, but one can hope..
Two things are new:

1. Machine learning is increasingly being involved in important decisions.

2. Deep neural networks have become a popular technique, and their results are particularly difficult to explain.

If you're a bank and your AI says somebody is likely to default on the mortgage they're applying for and you can't demonstrate that their race or a proxy therefor wasn't a factor in that calculation, they'll have a settlement and won't need a mortgage.

Git, Vim and general GUI come to mind, specifically on this site. There is always someone berating individuals for not using shortcuts, not using the console instead of a visual tool, using an IDE, etc. Specifically using Git with a GUI primarily is a great way to get flak from several subreddits, too.

NB: This is not an invitation for discussion on the pros and cons, to berate either preference, or gatekeep.
So, in 2022, it's cheaper to dump concrete than to capture it, but the new fines this year aren't enough incentive to solve for: capture to a tank and haul, build unprocessed natural gas pipelines, or process onsite and/or fill tankers onsite?

If there is one thing we desperately need to avoid as a society, it's developing new technology that burns massive amounts of hydrocarbons to make rapid travel anywhere (somewhat) cheap and ubiquitous.
Looking at the comments, I think it’s worth bringing this to the discussion:

There are many different “brain types” (apologies if that’s an established term already, I’m using it generally). We know the different types of learners (auditory, visual, kinaesthetic), and we’re just starting to realize the wide range of the different internal senses (aphantasia has now branched significantly and we’re (for example) finding people with nothing but a monotone inner monologue, or people who can easily visualize a 3D shape but can’t use their “mind’s ear” to hear, and many many more.)

Personally, I am a kinaesthetic learner/thinker with object permanence issues and one of the challenges in my life has been keeping track of things. In interviewing people I’ve found that this combination is not very common in the population, but is there. One of the strengths of his combo is “feeling” the connections between things. Like Graph database vs SQL.

This tool strikes me as being written by someone who struggles with similar challenges, whether they have the same combination of mental traits or not.

- “What was the movie with that really meaningful theme? I think it would help communicate what I’m trying to communicate..”

- “I’m at a restaurant. Did I like this compelling menu item the last time I had it or am I going to be re-disappointed?”

- “Friend asked me for book recommendations. What books have changed me for the better and why?”

- “What breakthroughs have happened in (branch of science)? Yes I could read papers, but which ones have I already read?”. I have an example on this one, though I can’t tell you why I remember it clearly: When it came out way back in the day I read one of the first articles about connecting organic material to silicon (Scientific American I think). Over the years that led to OLED technology and I think the whole journey (and it’s offshoots) are pretty cool.

- “Who have I met who would be interested in ______?” / “... who I can ask for good advice about this problem?”

For many these are trivial questions, but for people like me they can be as challenging as climbing a mountain.
Well damn. I was under the impression that the communication channel uses/accepts only well defined VSCode specific messages related to the UI...
Good points from you and echelon. This (by which I mean hardcoded slur filtering in Lemmy/LemmyBB) is not a good thing. On the other hand, it's obviously within their rights to code such a thing into their own thing.

> 1. Robocalls 2. Robocalls 3. Robocalls 4. Robocalls 5. Robocalls

I have always thought that a simple --and likely very effective-- way to combat robocalls is to charge a nominal fee for all calls not in your address book. That fee could be $1 or more. It really doesn't matter how much other than having to be enough to be costly for those making unwelcome calls.

The charge is levied both ways. If someone you don't know calls you, they pay $1. If you call them back, you pay them $1. The phone company handles this, of course. An alternative is that the charge is registered to their account and credited if you call them back. Being that billing is monthly, the net effect is that no money exchanges hands unless calls are not returned. If you did not respond, the next time the same number calls you the charge is increased by a nominal amount, say, 25%.

Oh, yes, of course, the money goes to you, minus a, say 30% fee to the phone company. This accounting happens at the end of the month, not call-by-call.

If someone wants to make a million unsolicited calls, it's going to cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most of that money will go to the people they are spamming because they will not return the calls. Anyone in your address book is exempt from these transactions.

Without diving deeper, this seems like a simple, clean and perhaps even elegant way to deal with the issue. Let the free market do it. If spammers want to give you hundreds of dollars per month just to make your phone ring, so be it.

Yes, of course, there could be an incentive there for the phone company because, in the aggregate, that 30% might add-up to a nice pile of money. I'm sure there's a creative way to manage that. Perhaps something like a metric based on that income that penalizes them for not doing a better job of filtering the calls. This is where detailed analysis of the proposal is necessary.
The fact that epiderals aren't literally always done for women still shocks me.

It would be worth it if they achieved anything. Even the smallest international action would more than offset those flights etc. But they have taken no actual action. They know before they board the plane that nothing will come of the meeting. And most go with the specific intent of stopping anything being done if it somehow did start to occur.
> but if you're a gamer or artist that needs real GPUs then you're stuck on Windows.

The Steam Deck would disagree with the first half of that, and I spend an awful lot of time gaming on Linux with the exact same "workflow" as Windows gamers.

Can't speak for artists, though my understanding is that it's Adobe, not Windows which has them stuck.
In a previous HN discussion on the topic of rogue Python packages, readers had suggested bubblewrap and firejail for sandboxing. They limit the access a script and its packages have to your filesystem and network.

I think that's the better approach - just assume all packages are malicious by default. Can't rely on scanners because of the large number of packages and attacks.
Corporations are sociopathic entities dedicated to extraction of wealth.

As such they end up accumulating most of the wealth, at the expense of everyone and everything else - including our biosphere.

Wealth is power. It is literally a contract to make people do as one says.

Corporations use this power to encode their advantages in laws - laws that all of us are bound to follow, despite having no consent in creating them.

Sociopathic entities will do anything without perception of morals. Sponsoring an environmental conference must be good for perception and that must be good for business.

We humans have magnified and empowered and deitified some of the scariest tendencies of our minds and turned them into unstoppable entities of epic proportions. Now we walk amongst these demons of our own creation, somehow hypnotized in accepting the global destruction they cause as completely normal.

This is nothing new for anyone here - and we all go about our days.

What happens if the Yubikey gets damaged?
In terms of value, I think it's going to be more about avoiding anti-value—specifically, I expect that accounts lacking the checkmark will be seen as spam, scams, or bit players.

Here's what I expect to happen:

1) First, Twitter introduces paid verification. They cut back on their content moderation efforts on unverified accounts, but they exercise more control of spam and scams on verified accounts, including permabans (which are easier to enforce, due to better knowledge of the people behind the accounts—a credit card number, at the very least).

2) Next, they introduce an option to hide all non-verified tweets, other than from people you follow. People will use it because non-verified tweets have a much higher proportion of spam and scams.

3) At this point, they've successfully price discriminated between professional content creators (such as myself) and consumers / casual creators. I expect additional price discrimination to follow, such as charging for API access in order to target people using tools such as HootSuite to manage large fanbases.

All of this is predicated on people adopting #1, which is why it's important for Musk to find the right price point. It looks like he's just spraying out ideas, but I think he's doing price research.

FWIW one can take back some control over this with O&O's ShutUp10 [1] There are also some github gists with powershell scripts to do the same thing, just use care as some of the powershell scripts by random people can leave a system in a wonky state.

Because about 45% of our (UK) electricity doesn't emit carbon. Gas is also really terrible for indoor air quality.
Same. I'm in Oregon and the Verizon quality is absolutely horrendous. They still have the best coverage for rural and mountainous areas imo, but the degradation has been severe for sure.
Biggest downside here is probably sticking with Fresnel lenses, can't even really call it gen 2 with that decision. Probably had to be made to meet the price point I guess unfortunately.

Should be a pretty clear screen though with the limited FOV and nice contrast. Haven't used PSVR1 myself and just checked resolution and WOW didn't realize how trash it was merely 960 x 1,080 that's lower than CV1! For anyone primarily experienced with PSVR ecosystem this should be a massive step up.

Pimax just announced Crystal yesterday as well so glad to see movement in the VR space.
This is one reason I prefer Debian python packages.

You can do almost anything in C++ at least three different ways. Most places that care about engineering will not have you do abusive template metaprogramming or go crazy with macros, even though it’s possible to do in the language.

The std library is filled with bad implementations that can’t change because of backwards compatibility. So it’s not your fault that they look confusing. The pointer types you mentioned are actually quite simple, think of them as thin wrappers over raw ptrs with constructors/destructors that implement counting (for shared ptrs) and whose destructors do the delete operation (for unique ptrs, and for shared ptrs once they reach 0 copies).

Working with C++ can be easy and fun as long as you aren’t in a codebase where people went overboard with anti patterns or “cleverness”.
Huh interesting. If I was in the same position, I would’ve started talking to a therapist and start processing the past just so I won’t have to deal with it later in the future.

There is no reason to allow them to know more, but there are very good reasons to let them only know what they really need to know.

There are a number of differences. First is that road rules apply to public roads. Private roads have far fewer rules. You might not be able to endanger a child or have duels to the death, but there generally aren't speed limits at all regardless if tools are involved.

Then there is the matter of why the laws exist. Generally they prevent harms, and if the limit is on a tool it is only because humans can't do the harm without a tool. A limit on noise generally only limits the use of tools, but if a human was able to break the limit without a tool then the limit would be applied to them. A law might not have been created yet just because it isn't a threat.

In this case, humans can already copy artwork, so there are already limits in place. In this case the tool doesn't really allow for anything new that couldn't already be done with money. If I could afford it, I could hire thousands of artists to create work in a similar art style up to the limits of the existing law. Such expenditures are rare, but are they something that needs to be limited which hasn't due to being too rare? If not, then why does a tool lowering the cost change the limit?

Like I said here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33438628, we can eliminate 40% of those 310M on the basis that they don't pay federal taxes. So they aren't paying for student debt relief. Of the rest, a good proportion are related to the 22M who are getting the relief. We're talking about parents who are financially supporting their adult children. Or kids whose parents are paying off student debt. It's way more than just 22M.

And it's certainly way more than the number that benefited from propping up the stock market in 2020.

Yes and no. I believe it's called foveated rendering where eye tracking is used for adaptive rendering, which allows for high performance without any perception of degradation.
What an absurd assertion, that software should make me "suffer the consequences" after following a logical set of steps, just because I don't have a bunch of obscure knowledge about printing processes. The case I laid out is a perfectly reasonable one.

"You should have picked PANTONE 628 the CMYK process build, or the RGB Hex version if it wasn't a spot colour job"

To be frank, I don't know what the hell any of that means. But why should I have to? Why should I "suffer" because I don't know a bunch of gatekeepy factoids about the real-life differences between PANTONE 628 and B7DDE1? "Oh, sorry honey. You know that wedding invitation design I made last week and showed you? Well that's gone now, because I entered the colour we liked in the wrong format. It's my fault though. I used a colour palette intended for spot colour printing. What a goof! I am rightfully being punished".

Don't you see how this is insane? I can see a colour I like in real life, and see that there is a tag associated with that colour. I can tell that tag to a piece of software that I pay for, and have the software return a result I like. Then that software can, out of nowhere and without warning, decide to tell me "Oh, I'm not going to show you this colour any more". And then I'm expected to say "Oh, that's reasonable. I should have understood that the colour entry field I used was subject to cancellation, and only intended for spot colour for printing on coated stock".

I check anytime I'm normally interrupted. So at the start of the day, before/after lunch, at the end of the day, after any meetings or phone calls, etc.

If I don't have time to do it I'll update the person on when I plan to do it. So if I'm heading to lunch and see a review, I'll ping them that I'll do it after lunch.

And if it's the very end of the day, I let them know I'll take a look first thing in the morning.

If that doesn't pan out for some reason, I let them know and give them an update on when I expect to be able to do it.

Yes agreed. I've seen this work well countless times over the last 15 years in business. Which is what is leading me to do more of it.
I assume this is more due to the removal of 3G than anything. Edge is so slow it's worthless, and 4G coverage is spotty at best. 5G is, as far as I can tell, a stupid gimmick almost nobody will get great use out of on their phones.
No, that is not a new activation. The activation is at the sim card-level.

I don't understand art, you're right, at least from an artist's perspective. Maybe you can enlighten me.

So my current perspective is this: if a picture is drawn in a style similar to yours for example, that's not infringing, but if it's just a scrapbook collage of cutouts of your art it is, except where it's fair use. Would that be right?

So the same applies, if an AI actually can help people write code by learning from existing code, that's fine, but if an AI just copy pastes code blocks that's not.

Where am I going wrong here?
You're exactly right in this comment.

A lot of the commenters in this thread appear to be completely unaware of how massive of a shift has occurred with the dictatorship of Xi Jinping.

Xi is not Hu Jintao (whom he had marched out of the CCP Congress in public view for maximum humiliation). He is not only a dictator, but also deeply insecure. This isn't another highly competent "engineer turned leader" like his predecessors. Xi is a thoroughly mediocre, lifelong political creature. He has consolidated power to the greatest degree since Chairman Mao, and has turned the CCP into a cult of personality.

He is running the Chinese economy off a cliff, meaning that China's ability to develop the tech domestically is cratering. It's hard to emphasize how different China is than before 2012. If a leader like Hu Jintao was running China, they would be able to develop this tech relatively quickly. But Xi? Everything he micromanages turns to shit.
