It's a protected job with no real oversight. Once you qualify you can be terrible at it and still continue working.

In the UK the only thing that will get you struck off is embezzlement of client funds. In other words, a crime. You may get struck off for deliberately lying to a client, but that depends somewhat on the niche and on plausible deniability. The likelihood goes up the more prestigious and corporate the clients are.

Otherwise, for basic everyday work like property conveyancing, you can minimum-effort paper push and no one will call you on it.

Doctors, accountants and some parts of software dev can get by with a similar phone-it-in culture. You can be mediocre/bad and in some situations no one will notice and/or care.
The same thing you use all maps for.

The problem with the physical map is that you can't navigate it any better than the real world. With a virtual map there's no trade-off save for the cost of making it.
Your job was to be (cron)jon checking periodcally for items to be garbage collected and visually reporting the state of the collected garbage. We all write cronjbos like this. Mundane but hey, you were a student temp worker.
The answer to that is the answer to the question I asked. Why do top athletes have so many domain experts around them?
Definitely agree with this. You get that confirmation with siri. I mostly use my watch for it and it will show me what it did on the screen without having to touch anything.

Confirmation is required when dealing with humans as well ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11fCIGcCa9c (this reminds me of Alexa)
Exactly!

Interestingly it has prompted some reflection on my part about the whole remote vs on-site work debate: my entire contact with my colleagues with the exception of rare days on-site is via the internet. This makes me wonder about how the continued lack of genuine, regular face-to-face interaction will affect the business long-term; I already feel a distinct social divide between those of us who were at the company long term pre-WFH vs those of us (including me) who joined afterwards.

I definitely notice I engage significantly more with project that require me to communicate more with my colleagues and I can only imagine how that is amplified if I was actually in the same room as them (I entered the workforce in late 2020 and have never worked full-time in an office longer than summer internships).

The same goes for hobbies - things such as outdoor persuits with an in-person social aspect (e.g. caving, cycling, climbing etc) are millions of times more fulfilling for me than those that are equally social but online only (e.g. weekly video games and TTRPG night with my university friends).

Particularly eye-opening for me because I have very much grown up online and I guess I just didn't notice the difference between socialising online vs in person until I began to socialise online significantly more than in-person.

So yeah this article really inspired some introspection on my part! As you said: good to recognise distraction vs engagement; artificial vs organic.
The ending is kinda sad. The curtain closes, and RISC-V has replaced it.

Or one clock that can switch between 5 different times.
But that’s caused by changing the clock all the time, the opposite of what PeterisP proposed. When it comes to constant offsets[1], there are countries whose political time zones are shifted from their geographical time zones by 1h (Spain, Iceland) or even 2h (Western China). It doesn’t seem to be causing problems.

[1]: Because allowing the time to drift microscopically from human perception is indistinguishable from not changing it, only that after a sufficiently long time you live in a time zone shifted by a constant, only there was never really a big event to shift it. It’s like getting old - you don’t notice it, until it’s already happened.
If you gave credit to the source of the answers... then most teachers would just not give you the marks for the bits you copied.
The cheating here is faking attribution - claiming yourself as a source of something you didn't originate, not copying - a legally and morally distinct thing to copyright infringement.
Indeed, part of the point of copyright infringement is that you do know (and reveal to your clients) who made the thing you're copying, which is why it has value.
I found out the exact opposite in fact. You might not have read your research correctly.

If you've had serious knee injury, turning like in the first video is a guaranteed pain for the rest of your day in your knee. It puts compression and torsion in your knee at the same time, like grinding up herbs on a cooking show.
Me and voice assistants are like me on the ballroom dance floor. I loved to take the lessons and learn all sorts of moves and chain them all together and look impressive, but when I got onto the floor with a partner, I just wouldn't know what to do or where to start. I kept to the "basic" steps and maybe a timid little turn once in a while.

Maybe it's possible to learn a working vocabulary and know how to command a voice assistant. I know my way around several command lines, but I have no idea what to say to Hey Google.
I use Alexa on a house filled with Sonos speakers every day. She barely works and is the worst advertisement for Amazon.

"Alexa turn on my FireTV" (doesn't work, weirdly FireTV and Alexa speakers don't seem to get along)

"Alexa play The Killers" (responds with "Playing the killers on Spotify" then silence)

"Alexa play The Killers on Spotify" (works)

"Alexa play The Killers" (sometimes tells me to start scanning devices and install a skill for Sonos)

"Alexa wikipedia 'history of Bulgaria'" (works but asks me if I want to continue after every sentence, so I give up)

"Alexa stop" (doesn't stop for some apps, Amazon should have support for silencing as a minimum requirement for apps and implement worst-case scenarios if an app doesn't respond to stop in time)

"Alexa rewind 30 seconds" (doesn't rewind for some apps, Amazon should have support for rewinding played recordings as a minimum requirement for apps)
The obvious answer is that you end up as a useful idiot for the United States's enemies. Yes, the Podesta leaks were probably largely true, but this one-sided airing of dirty laundry in the lead up to the 2016 election obvious impacted the result. So if you endorse this, aren't you just opening the door for every election cycle whereby the US's enemies get to wade in and strategically release information that they've obtained through espionage? And don't you also therefore, start to create a dynamic in the election that candidates have to attempt to appease foreign adversaries in order to avoid damaging their election hopes?

What if Hilary had come out in February of 2016 and said "Hey, Putin's not so bad, he's got legitimate interests in Ukraine and I think we should leave Europe to stand on it's own" - do you think the campaign of leaking hacked material to wikileaks would've happened? Or do you think maybe Trump's tax returns might have come out instead?
afaik wikileaks archive is still available as torrents and on Tor onion.
Both protocols are extremely compromised..
Porters would be porting the codebase to run on a new OS by implementing the functions in the abstraction layer that Cobalt uses for OS-specific code.
Odd. When I read the article, I thought "creating cancer" is a pretty good description of the idea that one embeds a whole f*ing JavaScript runtime and accept a 10x performance decrease on runtime just so that you can avoid copying one .so file around.

Like this:

I log into system foo-bar-baz, which one person accesses once or twice a year. Maybe it's christmas setup, maybe it's for daylight savings time, maybe it's for a new release of Ubuntu, whatever. I have all the relevant credentials, I am responsible for foo-bar-baz, and I have an authorised change request.

Three days later, the security team sends me a slack message, asking if I accessed system foo-bar-baz.

I tell them yes.
Cool, say you've done so despite obvious issues (no microSD is over 1 TB, since TrueCrypt is no more there's no obvious trusted encryption software for that sort of thing, then there's borders, being on a security camera at a post office, etc).

Which address would you ship it it to so it reaches Wikileaks?

>the only time a voice based UI is better is when the user is unable to use their hands. Driving

The video left out to coninue to breathe. If someone makes a long turn, they might suffocate. I better email them to include that part in the video as well.
All so-called ‘theories of consciousness’ I have seen are just failed attempts to explain that consciousness isn’t consciousness, but something else. The only actual knowledge of consciousness expressed in Vedānta and Upaniṣads is that consciousness (or more correctly the substrate of unconditioned awareness and being that is its substrate) is the Absolute.
Paywall. Can you post the text and date of the article?
I don't think this is actually reliably possible due to the fact that while grammar does tend to follow patterns sometimes, we're fundamentally dealing with an exponential amount of ways to say things to a voice assistant.

In the spirit of the title of this post, someone else also has to say something.

If your argument is that this is a "non-visual command line" there's slim hope of the layperson learning a whole secret grammar without even a goddamn man page just to do their menial tasks.
Still no meaningful promises around the safety or effectiveness of this.

Seems like this will get many people a love letter from their ISP.

Not worth the hassle with no idea of if this will work in even the medium term.
I believe LuaJIT also has a C FFI that should allow for faster function calls compared to the native Lua API.

Watch the Laura Poitras movie "Risk"[1] if you want a really good feel for why Julian has every reason in the world to disrupt the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

It's an amazing movie that came out at a really unfortunate time for Laura, in that it got lost in the noise of the dcleaks drama. Anti-Julian people hated the movie because it humanized him too much, and pro-Julian people hated the movie because it made him look weak. It was a deeply personal look into the life of a man who suddenly got caught up in the polarizing shitstorm of the 2016 elections.

The leaks definitely came from GRU hackers, but it seems like the GRU was super careful to sell it to Julian as a DNC insider leak, and in his excitement to stick it to the Clinton campaign, he probably overlooked a lot of red flags that he might have caught if didn't have a personal grudge to satisfy.

I voted for Hillary, and I'd do it again, she'd have made a fine US president. I also seeded the hell out of the Podesta emails, because people deserve to know about political corruption. I also believe that the espionage crimes that Julian is charged with are 100% horseshit, and going after journalists like that sets an incredibly bad precedent coming from a nation that purports to be a world leader in press freedoms.

They managed to control the tech so tightly that no potential is fulfilled and they’re boring.

Truly opened to developers they could have been really interesting and fun.

This is what happens when big companies develop technologies and think they are too valuable to share.
In all likelihood the book you are looking for is available as a .pdf

The "best" format for reading books is epub, as it is an opwn format which does not try to adapt a paper format. There are many free readers available for it.

If your house gets raided by law enforcement, charges for minor copyright infringement should be of absolutely zero concern to you.
This is really cool and shows WASM's power as a glue for different programming languages (that support building to WASM). What I wonder about is how well different Rust libraries support WASM, since this seems to be a requirement for this to work, do libraries need to be careful about ensuring WASM support or is it mostly free?
Because the legal system preferences mediation, and because mediation preferences a negotiated ground, even going to law won't help the providers avoid a short-term hit, because of the inevitable discount they'll be mediated to.

There should be a summary path with damages for this kind of muscular performative non payment: Musk should not be allowed to renege on contracts for a post hoc discount. It should hurt more not to pay, and not to pay promptly. Something like his interest payments on bank debt should be penalised if he acts in bad faith in his business. (Which obviously, he is doing. These are debts incurred. He owed the money the minute he bought the company. If he was a corner store they'd just shut him down, it's "too big to sue" bully economics)
It began as mostly anti-Bush Jr. admin leaks because that's who was in charge. But once the leaks became ubiquitous over time, yeah the leaks began hitting "the wrong guys", eh "gal".
>Voice assistants are basically just mainstream non-visual command-lines, and it's unsurprising to me that something that relies heavily on memorization and extremely specialized "skills" isn't quite taking off in the way it was imagined.

This got me thinking. Voice recognition is basically a commodity now .. there are open source AI engines that can do it offline really well. So the recognition part is solved, you can just grab it from your distro's package manager. Now there's just the language part.

Thing is, I don't want to speak to my computer using English. Aside from the enormous practical problems in natural language processing you've outlined, I just find the idea creepy[1].

What I want is to unambiguously tell it to do arbitrary things. I.e. use it as an actual computer, not a toy that can do a few tricks. I.e. actually program it. In some kind of Turing complete shell language that is optimized for being spoken aloud. You would speak words into the open source voice recognizer, it writes those to stdout, then an interpreter reads from stdin and executes the instructions.

Is there any language like this? What should it look like?

And yeah that would take effort to learn to use it right, just like any other programming language; so be it. This would be a hobbyist thing.

To be honest your best bet is probably obtaining a stolen credit card, sticking it up on one of the big cloud providers and then rest safe in the knowledge the second you release the data it's going to be copied a thousand times over by journalists and political operatives. If you really want to continue your campaign, just continually pop up with new stolen credit cards on various cloud providers, the barrier to entry is so low now.
Ah right. Suddenly people no longer care about corruption, when the TV tells them THEIR person is running for office...
I highly doubt this has any benefit. I'm leaning towards enriching themselfes on tax money as well.
This is just a lazy way to shut down any discussion of the negative aspects of globalisation and all the other ideas pushed by the WEF.
> I've honestly been amazed in these past few years how many people have started hating Wikileaks for leaking things that didn't agree with

It feels like the narrative has shifted from us vs them to us vs us with them on the side controlling it all.
It’s just _called_ ‘spin,’ just like ‘up’ and ‘down’ or ‘strange’ quarks. They don’t really spin like a top, LOL.
Are you familiar with how Putin came to power, the situation with Yeltsin, and Gorbachev?

Lynne Cox: The Swim That Lifted the Iron Curtain
Preliminarily: the article in the Harvard Political Review seems to equate Democracy and Freedom, but that it is just a perspectual effect: it is substantially equating autocracies and _arbitrary_ limitation of freedom. (Which, in the context you propose, should be compared to "_clumsy_ limitation of freedom", plotting data in the two dimensions of malice and stupidity.)

When the article mentions that risk of «reducing popular confidence in the democratic model», it clearly indicates it as an hysterical response, suggesting literally the possibility of «apparent [only] success» increase on the side of autocracies. The whole sub-context reinforces the evidence that Democracy requires, as a foundation, curbing the roots and risks of phenomena like hysterical responses - there is a systemic matter about the care for the roots enabling Democracy, a matter which the article notes in terms like those stating an «already declining state of global democracy». If there is a risk that some may think "ah but an iron fist would solve it" (oversimplifications, "silver bullets" - populism), then you have a problem, gravely impacting Democracy, that you have to solve through Education.

The contextual opposite of the caused damage, of arbitrary measures, is not a "freedom to", but a "freedom from" - freedom from the absurd. This requires proper maintenance of the system. That requires proper information subsystems, with special regard to investigative journalism. That is to be free to live in a well working and fair system - a specific form of Freedom.

It reminds me of the chatbot fever there was a few years back, it seems like every company wanted a chatbot. Even though as a user I much prefer a normal menu.

I think voice assistants will continue to have good use cases in cars, kitchens etc. where you can't use your hands so the trade-off is worthwhile.
journalism. noun. writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation

--> this function is what makes "journalism" special and why excessive political leanings contaminate the enterprise. Publishing a website, having an audience, makes one a part of the mass media as compared to a journalist.
No. Not that it hit the wrong guys. He (Assange) was fed a ton of arbitrary/meaningless email which had no major significance, stolen from Hillary Clinton a few days before an election - literally fed to his organization by Russian intelligence - and chose to publish it as if it would incriminate her, to create the appearance of leaking something important and so stain her and help the Russians tilt the election toward their ally Trump.

There was no purpose of free information served by that act of burning Assange and WikiLeaks years of trust. It was the most useless waste of public goodwill in the history of whistleblowing and only came about because he was pressured into it. It was a pure one time self-immolation of every good he'd ever accomplished in the service of Putin.
how? i am behind NAT for example, i tried doing it. it did not work.

Is there a way for people who have just 20 mbit/s up/downstream and do not have an stable IP addres from home behind NAT?

I would run a server for long for seeding if it would be over TOR.
to sum up, political slant that aligns with your politics is good, the rest is bad/edgelord/nihilism.

Everything else aside, if you just compare Nytimes and wikileaks, it's easy to see who the good guys are - the one who stood up against the biggest power in the history of mankind at immense personal and organizational cost vs the ones who perpetuated lies to support Iraq Wars, US sponsored Coups, Genocides. One siding with nytimes on his/her politics ignoring everything is on him/her. Maybe from US internal politics perspective Nytimes is the good guy, but for everyone else, they are absolutely the bad guys.
As someone who coaches a local amateur sports club: at our level, the main reason to learn proper biomechanics is to reduce risk of injury. (At a higher level, it's also useful for getting those small advantages in effective reaction speed and positioning.)

Changes in direction are a really, really, really common cause of knee, ankle, and foot injuries. There's a _lot_ of force on fragile joints when you turn, dodge, fake out, etc. at speed - and especially for occasional / amateur athletes, who often don't have a high base level of strength and mobility.

It looks silly, but I'd rather our players look silly than tear ACLs or rupture Achilles tendons. (Plus in Canada, those tears and ruptures also cost taxpayer money - a whole lot more of it than making a quick video!)
As usual, very sad to see how little C# is mentioned as an alternative, having very robust, easy to use and performant stack of standard and third-party libraries for building the exact scenario outlined in the article.

Especially that is has first-class support for gRPC, runs on every cloud/on-prem host you can think of and doesn't force you to go out of your way to get most performance out of your implementation. People should not be mentioning Java first as a GC/JIT-based language for cloud given how competitive C# stack is and how much more you get straight out of the box.
Immune system? Some might call it magic.
OK, so my moon landing example what slightly wrong, the Astronauts were using ET not UTC, and so we can infer that prodominatly used "human time" at that location on the moon was actually ET (what the astonougts used). And so it should be:

1969-07-20T16:17:00!Moon/0.67416/23.47314

The point is that at that location that is the time system they were using. It's mostly a contrived example trying to make a point.

For other planetary bodies, or other locations in the universe the first part of the time stamp could use any other format that could be in use at that location. It doesn't have to be tied to an Earth centric system.

> ISO 8601 purposely excludes those because converting a location to a UTC offset is a political process that requires lookups for historical changes to that conversion

My point is we need a standardised interchange format what actually takes that into account as that is how humans actually operate.
Phrasing "getting run over by the lottery" sounds like a good humorous, compromise. But "winning a bus" sounds like you're actively rooting for the person to be hit. I'd stick with the former. ))
