Note that this is just Amazon demonstrating a prototype in their Innovation Center. I take it to be a mostly PR move showing “thought leadership.” Replicating the functionality of the human hand is notoriously hard, although it has been tried many times before by many companies, AFAIK there has been no great success.

The push for automation currently is not about replacing workers and cutting costs (although, of course, those are desirable): there’s tremendous churn in all warehouse roles so much so that most companies are hard pressed to find workers. Many new hires quit during the two week training programs.
How to Take a Penalty in a Shootout
I would like to see how to achieve that. I tried asking it to translate the first paragraph of a site, but it provided more of an interpretation or summary of the article, rather than the actual text. When asked to copy the text from the website, it said that it couldn't. Additionally, when asked to provide a summary of a website that didn't exist before (created it myself yesterday), it gave a summary that was completely fictional, based on its interpretation of the URL.

The article criticizes that only 30% of Vietnamese people went to university. I wonder if that's really so bad.

In the US and EU, employers now regularly require a college degree even when it's not needed. Like why does a Starbucks barista need a bachelor degree?

Maybe there's an efficiency benefit to not sending everyone through university because not everyone is going to work a white collar office job?
I find the most frustrating conversations are with people who can't stop talking and who fail to distinguish what is or isn't important information for other people in the conversation.

> How was your flight?

> Oh it was great, I sat next to a man named Joe Smoe, wait no I think his name was Joe Blow... no he said his name was Jim Blow... wait no his name was Jim Smoe... he said he was bus driver.. or was it a truck driver?...

How do you politely say "I'm never going to meet this man, and you'll never meet him again, so who cares what his name was? Get on with the story!" I know some people who can waffle around like this for 10 minutes easily, trying to remember a detail that nobody else could conceivably care about. By the time they remember the detail everybody else has already forgotten the rest of the story anyway.
I have a single-member LLC (with S-Corp designation) in NC that focuses on IT consulting. I track all my business expenses via simple google spreadsheet and hand over the spreadsheet plus the W2 income statements to my CPA at the end of the year. I pay the CPA about $900/yr for the Schedule K1 and pay about $50 to freetaxusa for personal taxes - including both federal and state taxes. This seems to work well for me.

In previous years, I did payroll manually (by hand), but moving forward, I have decided to use Square to pay my W2 since they properly track and file all state/fed tax forms. Less headache and stress at the end of each quarter. Worth the $40/mo in my opinion.

The only gotcha to my approach (CPA + freetaxusa) is you need to be your own tax "champion". That is, you must research and understand what tax deductible options are available for your business. For example, since I have an S-Corp, I can deduct health insurance, SEP-IRA (25% of W2 income), mileage, and any business-related expenses (hardware/software/office/etc). There are some other interesting deductions that push the limit of what the IRS will consider (eg: use your house as a business meeting place for less than 14 days/yr, use a second home to keep/store data off-site, etc), but I tend to shy away from those since they don't provide any real savings but raise flags during tax reviews.

Finally, get smart on the W2-vs-distribution method of pass-thru income. W2 income requires you to pay fed, state, and self-employment taxes, while the distribution method does not pay self-employment taxes. In general, you can pay yourself 50% W2 income + 50% distribution income and not raise an eyebrow at the IRS.
Mindblowing. Hahaha.
I mean the whole time I was reading the medium article I was like „why don’t you also bribe Amazon employees. WHYYYYY NOT?“
What you're saying is interesting. I think part of that is the tension between older and younger generations which is why I don't think these things last.

Reddit is kind of a notable standout. Maybe that and Twitter's features are what guarantees a sustained viewership. I don't know, this is all kind of new.

At least for photo and video sharing sites, it seems like these tend to be trendy and have a population boom and bust cycle. But then again I don't want to speak authoritatively. But looking at FB it reported it's first decline in daily visits this year and the decline among teens and younger generations is even more pronounced. Certainly looks like a population peak.

> I wouldn't call it censorship either. No symbol or idea is being repressed.

In Germany it is straight up illegal to display nazi symbols, do their salute, or even advocate their beliefs, isn't it? I was told as much by quite a few Germans at least.

That said, my problem with the censorship approach is that these groups appeal to actual problems within society and individuals, and by censoring them, none of that goes away. If anything, I think they just get pushed underground and the real issues that allow them to successfully recruit are still there, and they just do it quietly, which is why the local motorcycle club is full of fucking nazis, like it or not. The only way to stop these groups is to remove the fuel, which implies making changes to society itself to reduce the number of people who are in poor circumstances and might find a voice telling them it is the immigrants/jews/brown people who are to blame for their personal sense of injustice. Officially censoring also gives an anti-establishment sheen to them that definitely appeals to some.

Actually I am saying this : "The biden team, was behind the scenes trying to get content/speech removed from a major platform.".

And I am saying that this has a chilling effect on speech.

At no point did I say that the Supreme Court unanimously ordered Biden to be arrested for life for 1st amendment violations, or whatever other strawman that I did not say.

So, once again. You could have just said "Yes, you are correct. Biden's team did reach out to a platform to have content removed. "

I suppose I should ask:

* Why are you doing this?

Ask your users.

* If you don't have users, why are you bothering?

* Who is going to maintain it after you're gone?

* How about "living off the land"?

* What about document management?

If it's just you, then delivery is probably more important than maintainability. Maybe it's more important to put the knowledge in a queryable data format if "what" is more important than "why". Delivery might look like PDF or HTML docs.

Your users might prefer HTML or (urrrp) Word. Or (gerp) Confluence. You can try to influence that, of course.

If it's code, e.g. Java or Python, there are built-in doc formats.

Finally, how are you going to manage the evolution of that documentation: you need to at least give passing thought to versioning and who can edit.

Swagger and Jupyter Notebook come to mind as creative approaches focused on particular problems. I've used Microsoft Access to document requirements and dependencies.

I wrote HTML with Notepad 20+ years ago in a CMM 3 shop (served off of a file share), and that created a whole committee to decide what a "document" even was.

I've used self-documenting / low code / no code approaches from time to time when crafting operational systems when I expect to immediately lose control to inveterate tinkerers.
I wanted to post this, as more people are activating their blogs. I don't see any downsides, but there might be some like what if he gets a lot of bot followers? I wonder how this will tax his server if he gets e.g. 100k followers, 1 million followers etc?

It will increase your blogs visibility across the Fediverse, so that surely is good. Right now Luca Hammer's blog has thousand or so followers in Fediverse.

I could not find a way to list followers on his page, but bunch of them are visible from mastodon.social if you have account there.

One upside I see that people can discuss your blog entry in Fediverse, and it's possible to do that you simply favorite replies to make them visible on your blog page. Making comment section to work in Fediverse in effect.

Worked somewhere with an admin tool that did something similar. The code had denominated money in cents, except for the Japanese Yen, which has no cents so the number used was just the number of yen. After someone refactored some related code, for a short period of time Japanese users got refunds 100x the amount they were supposed to be.

It's almost like these businesses don't actually provide any value (the users do, but the users aren't motivated to provide value, just motivated to drive engagement)
Interesting. I had a very different experience. Double major, working in two labs simultaneously, active member of local ACM, interned with local startup during the school year, volunteered at a local soup kitchen. All that together was about 50 hours/week. Academics (including homework, studying, etc) was only 25 hrs/week on average. But I was very fortunate to have the advantage of not needing to work, which gave me the freedom to scale back my hours on a particularly busy week.

I learned a lot from my CS classes, but I actually felt like most of the value from the degree came from overhearing random chitchat between professors or other students and the reading more about those ideas and experimenting with them in my free time.

I used to think this was such a rare (and random) thing - my brother and a colleague have the same issue.
> She gets carsick when she is not driving. Which is ironic because it doesn’t happen when she is driving and she has had a commercial driving license for decades and she was a city bus driver before we got married and a school bus driver afterwards - mostly for the benefits until two years ago.

This is the nature of "motion sickness" when it relates to cars. You only get it as a passenger because as a driver you anticipate the changes in movement as you are in control.

Obviously "sea sickness" is another can of worms.
"I have no desire for fame"

Good. Tell me how many business owners you really know who are clearing 1M+ a year for themselves other than a few on the internet that show off ? The answer is: not many or hardly any. So you are overthinking the fame part. You won't be as famous as you think you will be just because you run a successful business (Source: I run a reasonably successful business and I am a nobody)

So the question really is: What is your motivation behind remaining anonymous ?

My primary codebase ingests data with a mix of seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds. We've held it at bay for a while, but it requires some mental overhead unless we've baked the unit into each variable name.

We're likely to normalize on milliseconds, but at the same time, the implication of floating point arithmetic on all our μs numbers isn't ideal.

I couldn't remotely get by without a car where I live. But even if I lived in a city with good transit I'd [in most cases] still own a car so I could head out of the city for a weekend without a lot of planning, have the car setup the way I like it, etc. I know a couple who live in a city without a car and I hear of their hassles with Zipcar, regular rentals, Uber, etc.--and it really doesn't sound worth it. Maybe right out of school where you do a lot of activities with friends some of whom have cars. (Basically how things worked when I was an undergrad.)
That article sends a different message with its last line. "While fears of technical collapse seem to have been overblown, Twitter’s advertising collapse is seemingly continuing unabated."

In fact Twitter themself expects this quarter's revenue to drop $300 million lower than they'd predicted. From the New York Times:

"Twitter’s U.S. ad revenue was running at 80 percent below internal expectations for that week, three people with knowledge of the figures said... Twitter had 3,980 advertisers in May, the month after Mr. Musk agreed to buy the company, according to MediaRadar, an advertising intelligence company. By October, it had 2,315 advertisers, the fewest of any month until that point."

Additionally, don't attempt to banter even if the Brit initiates it. Brits think that Americans cannot banter and will assume that any banter from an American is intended as a sincere insult. Don't try to explain that Americans frequently banter among each other and no offense is intended, they won't believe you.

It is better to remain cordial as they 'banter' at you, but to never reciprocate.

One of the tenets of unit testing, I don’t know if I derived this for myself or got it from someone, is that you get a lookup on the right side of the expectation or the left, but not both.

size_t is unsigned, right? ssize_t is the signed version?

Or is there a thing in the standard that says this isn't always the case?

It IS about your reputation. Peoples’ motivations are selfish. They want to be perceived as higher status and are constantly assessing “what’s in it for me” through their personal frame of reference.

Having someone they perceive to be influential, powerful etc. listen to them spill their guts about themselves means a lot more than if they explained their worldview to a homeless person on the street. They wouldn’t shut up about the former experience at a dinner party, but wouldn’t even engage with the latter!

The point is, if your reputation does not already proceed you, talking more about yourself (assuming you aren’t a dolt) increases your perceived social value with a stranger. If your reputation is good and proceeds you already, listening more matters.
This is interesting but I wish it included some information about the definition of "dissonance" being used. Of course xenharmonic stuff sometimes sounds out of tune just because it's unfamiliar, but also there's a temptation to go too far the other direction and assume that something must be exploring profound new harmonic space just because it sounds bad.
This isn't my experience with Instagram at all. I only follow people I know personally, check in once or twice a day and see posts and stories from them and really nothing else. No sponsored posts, no reels, etc. Maybe some ads. I don't use the discover page and stop scrolling my feed once I get through all the new posts so maybe that's it.

Thanks for the insight! That makes sense, Chrome trying to grab control from native apps feeds Google's ad machine.
Google already answers questions and most of the time, the info is presented above the fold and doesn't even require clicking on a link to some article. I always found this odd, since it means sites lose traffic, and any Google ADs on those sites don't get impressions/clicks.
This is definitely good for a laugh, on the first page-load. After that, some patterns emerge that really deflate the experience, but I definitely chuckled multiple times.
It depends on how do you define “censorship”, and your view of the fundamental role of the state.

I used to be a free speech absolutist (especially as a teenager, campaigning against Internet filters in school, as one is want to), I’ve refined my position over time away from that unsophisticated and unhelpfully simplistic position, but I haven’t yet found an accurate succinct way to describe my current feelings beyond saying I’m “aligned with defensive-democracy” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_democracy ) - but I try to avoid advocating DD with language like “reasonable restrictions” because that’s currently the language used by people who I’m ideologically opposed to, but I don’t want to come across as a libertarian… nor a V-for-Vendetta fan either.

As much as I’d love to blame Ofcom’s letter on the Tories, I believe under Labour it would be just as bad: Labour is/was the party of Wacky Jacqui Smith after-all; whereas this perennial paternalism comes from the current constitutional design of the Home Office: until and unless the Home Office changes their attitude we’ll keep on seeing this kind of policymaking - it’s an analogue to the US’ “foreign policy blob” situation, imo ( https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/us/politics/blob-afghanis... )
There's an Emacs mode for Scala development inspired by SLIME called ENSIME, which antedates the LSP servers for Scala.

There are things ENSIME could do that back when I did Scala development were not supportable via the LSP protocol because it didn't have rich enough metadata to encode certain kinds of contextual information. The contemporary ENSIME maintainer, who was burning out on the project at the time, wrote about this and the growing but, in his view, native excitement around LSP efforts with a lot of frustration. In a few blog posts or tweets he pointed out specific issues the developers of one language server were running into which he'd anticipated and pointed out, to no avail.

I like the multiprocess approach with standard protocols, despite its complexities, because it lets different editors share smarts. It's good when Vim users and Emacs users can participate in development with huge numbers of users of whatever is the trendy editor of the day, and share code in the form of LSP servers to benefit from IDE-like features. But I think it's likely we'll see an evolution beyond what LSP is capable of, and maybe standardization for some languages will be around something other than LSP.
Durations aren't ints, so find or make a type suitable for storing them.

For a similar issue (cache durations that were expressed as a mix of milliseconds, seconds, and minutes) I now insist that the framework type `TimeSpan` is used instead for expressing these durations - as that's exactly what it was designed for.

I'm answering both you and the previous one in the chain. I used huggingface's OpenAI detector[0], the pizza example is detected as fake with 99.98% probability, whereas the Battle of Agincourt text is also reported as fake with over 99% probability. I don't have any example at hand of how much "real" text on these topics to try and see what that model detects, but up to this point[1] this text is reported as 99% real. You can play and see how much % it assigns to different examples.[2]

[0] https://huggingface.co/openai-detector

[1] I had to cut somewhere to copy and paste into the detector, so [1] is the cutting point

[2] My whole response was still detected as 99.98% real, and copy-pasting the Agincourt bit at the end still reported as 99.98% real. However, moving it to the start (having my answer as a last paragraph) made it detect as 97.71% real. Deleting only "huggingface's" balanced it as 54% real. You can play around with the demo to test different variations of any text you analyze with it.
