We had this, for an employee that wanted to move back home to Poland.

We used remote.com, they charge a sizable fee (like 600 quid a month), but the net costs come out about even after considering other costs. You still have to pay for the whatever the local countries requirements are for e.g: holiday pay, sick leave, redundancies etc, but I think it's a decent system.

I suspect the costs will come down quite quickly as it scales/has more competitors.
Requiring people to search for and parse information to figure out what you meant is not a very effective way to communicate.

I had an entertaining and frustrating experience with that prompt :D It was insisting that the issue was that there was some problem with the fusion reactor, so I went to the control panel and it said it had some log files, and when I looked into the logs, it said that the reactor failed right after a version update to the control algorithm (loool). I tried to backdate the algorithm but it said I can't and that I had to fix the current version. So I tried to attach a debugger, or read the code or various ways of debugging it, but then it started to get antsy and throw up a lot of "I am a large language model and I can't give information relating to fusion reactor control code" hahaha
It's weapons research.

> “Our thermonuclear weapons have fusion ignition that takes place in our weapons, so studying fusion ignition is something we do to support the stockpile stewardship program,” Mark Herrmann, Lawrence Livermore’s program director for weapon physics and design, said during a technical panel on Dec. 13. “In addition, fusion ignition creates these very extreme environments that we have no other way to access on Earth. In this experiment, for the first time ever, we were able to put some samples of materials that are important for future stockpile modernization efforts that are going on at Lawrence Livermore today in very close to this intense neutron burst and then see how did they respond to that intense neutron burst.”
Correction: He is not jailed. The local courts have sentenced him, but it's not final and there is an appeal process that will take some time (most likely a year according to his lawyer). He'll not be jailed and will continue to be the mayor during that time.

What makes this really newsworthy is he is one of the major candidates of the opposition for the upcoming presidential election in 2023.

I don't think anyone looks a biological systems and thinks they are well described by P(reproduction|environment). ChatGPT, on the other hand, is P(text|internet) more or less by definition (it's more than that, but not much more).

The fact that we observe what looks like emergent structures such as "understanding", "knowledge" or "reasoning" is fantastic, but it is not in any way incompatible with a P(text|internet) model simply "mimicking" humans.

I agree that exploring the inner workings of these emergent features is interesting in it's own right, but all that glitters is not gold.

If you're talking about the older approach to implementation CPython used to take then I must say if was pretty efficient for what it did (all while keeping the code clean). It took a 2-3 days deep dive for a moderately prepared programmer to understand ins/outs of the interpreter.

Optimisations coming to Python are a departure from the "clean-first code" approach. It's performance coming at a price of complexity.

> because at the time Coreboot wasn't doing their own releases, so doing release engineering and such around Coreboot was a lot more of a value-add.

Distributions can still offer value through release engineering steps that coreboot skips: https://doc.coreboot.org/releases/checklist.html#purpose-of-... says about releases: "Our releases aren’t primarily a vehicle for code that is stable across all boards ... Instead, the releases are regular breakpoints ..."

Stable libreboot releases, MrChromebox's releases (over at mrchromebox.tech), vendor releases (Chromebooks, System76, Purism, Starlabs, ...) and so on are useful because they provide more rigorous testing for the subset of devices they actively support.

Unless you're a developer and/or have tools to recover from a bad flash, these releases are more likely to get you a useful firmware image compared to coreboot.org releases.

(That doesn't mean we're not doing _any_ testing before releasing on coreboot.org, but it's somewhat stochastic: whatever the release team has tested themselves or got reports on is good, everything else is of unknown quality.)
Thanks, I appreciate that a lot!

It's really not that simple. For example in france the government takes income tax and other social contributions directly from the paycheck. As the employer, it is your reponsibility to pay the french government some corporate tax on top of those taxes, you can't make the employee pay them for you. A solution would be paying directly a french company, for example one that the employee ows (as a self-entrepeneur, for example), but you can't ask that of potential hires. Of course, it's "easy" and well documented so you can figure it out for france, but you can't spend that much time doing that for every country especially when dealing with countries that are much less internationaly navigable.

I get the argument that Apple fighting on behalf of users can be good. Unfortunately they went well beyond that remit, and have blocked all kinds of useful applications on specious and moral grounds. What right should Apple have to block xCloud? Or Fortnite? Or emulators? Or torrent applications? Or crypto wallets? Or adult themed apps? Or Parler? And this says nothing of their predatory revenue model. They had their chance to be good citizens of a dominant platform. They totally blew it. They chose to tell users and legislators to go fuck themselves. This is 100% Apple’s fault.
Erdogan definitely took advantage of the aftermath of the coup to purge the military but the coup was not “made up”.

This was mostly a theory thrown around by western journalists who first tried to claim that a coup against Erdogan would be a good thing, a “liberal coup”. Followed by them pushing the idea it was fake.

I dislike Erdogan but hearing from my family’s experiences during the last coup in Turkiye I’ll take a democratically elected government I dislike over another military dictatorship.

I’m really disappointed in the media here in the west and the ideas they were pushing during that time.

Edit

Two extra points:

1. Turkiye has an extensive history of coups and general military intervention in politics which sets a precedent for this kind of coup attempt.

2. These sorts of claims are really akin to claiming 9/11 was an inside job. For some reason when it’s Turkiye being discussed what should be rightly identified as conspiracy theories become socially acceptable and viable in people’s minds.
The dedicated server is included in the game...
This is the kind of mess that you end up with if you don't take internationalisation into account when you first design your standard. The impact of such an attack would've been significantly reduced if other countries' writing systems had been considered when DNS first hit the public.

Punycode is a bad compromise but nothing better is available. At this point entire TLDs now rely on it, it cannot be phased out any more. Hopefully this will be a lesson next time someone invents a protocol (though I doubt it will when I read through the comments of some anglophone commenters here).
55 here. Typing for 40+ years. No such issues.

My #1 suggestion: get a good keyboard. I use IBM Model M ones -- I hoarded 5 or 6 when people were throwing them out in the 1990s. None have needed repair, bolt-modding or anything. The one I am typing on right now is plugged directly into a PS/2 port on my Core i7 laptop's docking station: no convertor needed.

But if it is, convertors are something like £/€/$ 2-3. Look for one with 2 input ports -- that means it's not a passive device, which won't work: they need the keyboard (or mouse) to have onboard USB circuitry. Another giveaway is if they're coloured green or purple -- those ones mostly won't work.

Good attributes: 2 inputs; an activity LED; is beige or white.
Bad attributes: 1 input; no LEDs; is green or purple.

I have tried a Unicomp recreated Model M and while it's a decent enough keyboard it's not as good as the real thing. Worth paying for proper, antique kit.

#2 suggestion: switch your mouse to your subordinate or non-dominant hand. I did this in my early 30s and it took workload off my dominant (left) hand, and made me improve my coordination with the other one. Also, learn to clean your teeth with your less-dextrous hand. Both encourage neuroplasticity and increased mental flexibility too, I suspect. :-)
The community will figure it out. If it still exists, that is. If not, perhaps it deserves to die. Would be a pity though, I really liked UT2004, better than UT3.
I set up a business entity, the USA company pays my business entity just like they pay Stripe, AWS, etc. I pay an accountant and deal with all the regulations myself (I live in Taiwan).

Its a bit more hassle, and I technically have less protections (e.g. No mandatory vacations, severence etc), but USA pay is more than double Taiwan pay for the same position so it was an easy trade off for me.

For anyone who wants to work for an international company in a different country I recommend just biting the bullet, find a CPA in your area and just pay them to help you.

He was kinda forced to buy twitter in the end. He made a bid, but then the marketed turned red, and then didn’t want to buy it anymore. Now he is stuck with a company which generates less earnings than the interest costs from the buyout credits.

That’s also why he is even firing the kitchen staff and selling their kitchen appliances. He is so desperate for money to keep this company from bankrup.

Which is also probably the reason why he plays with QAnon stuff. I think he is speculating on someone to take twitter away from him. Maybe.
This is a fascinating story which leaves so many questions. The death is suspicious to say the least. And if it is murder like the coroner suggests, then why hasn’t anyone been charged for it after all of these years.

> LE lets this goes on for longer than it needs to

There's an incredibly limited amount of people working in cyber crime. Building a case, getting subpoenas takes a lot of effort. Even if something may be obvious to outsiders, building a case might still take a lot of effort. Those scarcely available people are usually put on the highest priority cases first. What they are, you might never know.

Then, if there's a network behind it you want to take down instead of only the fronts, you need to spend way more time on case building, writing, interacting with other agencies and I can go on.

It doesn't get much easier to get quickly into a game with people ready to play than matchmaking usually.
However, consistently playing with and against the same people is not as much a thing of course.

The upside of matchmaking hence is no scheduling and waiting, the downside is playing with whoever is online anywhere instead of a familiar group.
It's not about providing info that he flies a lot, but about sharing his live location without consent. Imagine someone kept posting a tweet about your every trip - when you left, when and where you will arrive. Twitter TOS are one thing, but I'm quite sure such things break EU's GDPR laws as well.
Maybe I've always played it wrong but I found Cosmic Encounter horribly unbalanced and very random. My friendship group used to play it as a warm-up game before other games so I have a lot of experience with it but almost none of it I found enjoyable.

Either I just couldn't wrap my head around a winning strategy or we were getting the rules wrong because it was just miserable, and I say that even winning my fair share of games, but often times it felt like I didn't do anything particularly different to deserve that victory.
I wish we really were :D

tangentially, it's so strange that the "nerd culture" has only changed in people's perception, but the actual nerd culture of the 80s-90s is still considered something only people with no social skills would appreciate.
This is the root of it all for me. I’m not against banning the account for doxxing Musk, as it would be fair to ban in other similar cases.

That won’t stop me saying he’s a hypocrite for doing so. Does he feel so strongly about accounts doxxing “the libs?”
As a game developer working for a large AAA studio myself - it's usually not because people don't want to, it's because companies are usually opposed to spending any money on things which aren't strictly necessary. The topic of open sourcing some of our older games(and I really do mean older, like 20 years plus) keeps coming up every now and then, but each time it's shut down because legal would need to do full assessment of everything surrounding it, like maybe we could release the code but not the assets like music or models used, in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't cost a lot or money or time, but in general anything above 0 on a project that won't bring any money in is too much(as sad as that is). And even the code itself might need cleaning up, 20 years ago the programming culture was very different and there is plenty of plainly inappropriate comments in the code and you'd want someone to make a full pass on the code and clean this up first. And finally - after 20 years we might not even have the code and/or full assets available. I spent a long time trying to find the source files used to render the cutscenes in the game but they are all gone. And we are 99% sure that the code we have for one of our games is not actually for the master version that shipped, but for a revision just before. So you could open source that, but it wouldn't build the same game that people are playing right now.

I can't speak for Epic here of course, but I imagine the reasoning here is somewhat similar - any developer put on this project is a developer not working on something else.
he wasn't "forced", he signed an agreement to buy it, and then did.

he failed to do any due diligence before signing and failed to include any outs in the agreement in case he changed his mind, but that's just stupidity or laziness, not being forced into something.
The item that I thought was interesting was this one from level 5: "Organizations shall actively seek out community member feedback as a factor in official performance reviews."

C’mon, you even cited the “with the exception of live location information” bit. That parenthetical says “you can’t share live location information even in a non-abusive fashion”.
> Sorry, but that wasn't his statement.

It was my statement, and it was a reply to the previous unsupported assertion which I quoted here.

> It's quite clear that he states that what is presented as new technology is completely made up nonsense.

Yes.

> He may be right, but he needs to show what in the article is completely made up nonsense so that we know if he is.

There is jack shit in the article supporting the existence or likelihood of "new technology". It's window dressing, a PR release with no meat or bones promising a bright and spotless future out of essentially nothing. It has as much technological content as Blindsight, Altered Carbon, or I, Robot. Possibly less.
May not be minimal to maintain and patch legacy C++ code against various security vulnerabilities. The risk/benefit of doing imperfect patching might obviously indicate shutting it down.

Meanwhile, open-sourcing is usually inhibited by 1) licenses of middleware in the tech stack and 2) sketchy code that's not ready for public sharing. It truly is a ton of work to open source commercial code!
