If you go look up past debates over the issue, you'll find that people have proposed solutions to that problem, only to have some politicians not be willing to pay for those solutions.

There have also been support for widening kinds of proof of identity allowed, and again there are politicians who are against that.

There had previously been debate over a free and easy-to-get national ID, but usually the pushback on that comes from people not wanting to feel tracked by the government.

I have to wonder if that would have more support today than in the past because of the amount of surveillance happening by private companies.
what's the problem with having a part of the library be intended for young people and students? That seems like a better use of the space than having the city turn the library into a daytime homeless shelter.
Oh, that's great to hear that Titanfall 2 runs on Steam Deck (apart from that crashing/over-syncing problem).

I'm guessing you own the game on Steam and not from EA/Origin? Are you using the base game or Northstar? If Northstar, did you have more trouble setting that up than on your Windows PC?
Modeling and simulation has the concept of Emergent Behavior[1].

Its memory is restricted to a couple pages of prompt, so I don’t think you’ll have any luck with the kinds of projects you’re mentioning. In addition, the way ChatGPT is generating output is linear, based on the sequence of preceding prompts and answers. It can’t really go back and forth (and sideways), navigating a graph of new things, as would be needed to develop a larger project.

It’s like you’re trying working with someone who only has short-term memory, and also has a tendency to make up things and be scatterbrained.
They discount selectively. Monday and Tuesday this week all hardbacks were 50% off. There are regular displays with "buy one get one 50% off". Some new books get marked down as well: I got Andrew Koppelman's "Burning Down the House" a week ago and it had a $5 off sticker. Occasionally, there are coupons for "15% off your order". And of course, members get 10% off (nearly) everything. When I've checked books on their web site, the books seem to be discounted more often than not, but usually not as much as Amazon or Walmart. But you're right that there isn't an across-the-board discount for everything in the store.
It's not pleasant but it is generally considered to be safe in normal doses. To give you an idea of how ubiquitous its use is, it is used on 3 day old kittens and they're always fine.

I'm not sure about the 10x part. On my team I have roughly 15 coworkers. Two are pretty useless, or at least perform at a level dramatically lower than the other 13. So how do we deal with it? Like the Internet, we route around them. Sure they're a waste of company resources/money, but big companies often waste so much money in IT that it's not really a significant factor.

Now if your team is very small, one or two bad apples can be quite damaging.

To quote from the page https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/

> It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications.

What is "most critical security risks" if not "order of severity"? Is "most critical" not a judgement of severity?

Anyway, the original author used the phrasing of just "3rd worst", and "worst" is such a vague word that it could mean anything from "most individual impact" to "prevalence".

Whatever pedantic point you're trying to make, I do not get it, and I think the author's phrasing was perfectly fine. OWASP's top 10 is ordered with more bad things higher up, by some definition of bad. The author's phrasing is only acknowledging that more bad things are higher up, and not really commenting on what "more bad" actually means, deferring to OWASP. Seems like perfectly fine phrasing.
Its intent to treat Hong Kong like the rest of China? How is that anything like Hitler's intent to conquer Europe? The author is as delusional about China as he is about democratically elected governments using COVID to gain permanent control over their citizens.

Yes, Xi is bad, and we should not want to be governed as Xi governs, but there is absolutely no risk of this happening outside the areas China controls or claims it should control.

>"While interviewing in the U.S. you'll get a lot of casual questions about your current job, such as what you like best about it, what skills you use there or why you want to leave. "

These fall perfectly into experience with last job. Does not have to be current. And all those questions you asked are trivial. Also I've never dealt with the recruiters. I have always searched and found perspective companies myself and no they were not Amazon big type. If I could not speak with the owner I would simply walk away - not my kind of place.

My first programming job in Canada - I just simply walked into the office and asked to speak to the owner (I knew it was small 20 person consultancy).

Since 2000 I am on my own but I still find clients and have interviews. Just a different type of interview of course.

You can, but you should expect that it may perfectly well spit out something that looks like a plausible prompt according to its language model, but had nothing to do with the actual prompt that was used.
From what we know, this to me sounds like a story about technical debt.

"Sure, it's held together with rubber bands and is a mess, but it would cost hundreds of millions to fix, and it's working, isn't it? So the programmers complain a bit, that's their job."

Which works until conditions change in some way and it catastrophically does not.

I think a lot of our society is now run on unreliable fragile software. I expect to see a lot more of this. "Automation" is especially cost-savings when you don't min it being a fragile unreliable time-bomb.
How does it do that, exactly? I asked it to provide an overview of the consumer banking market size in Indonesia and it came out with a few bullets on challenges. Hardly intelligent.
>For some reason though, I just love watching all the clues fall together. They're also relatively short stories.

I think almost all stories work like this due to the nature of how you structure a story:

- Introduction - characters and concepts are introduced

- Middle - anything can happen and usually some important new characters and concepts are added

- Build-up - all the pieces are assembled and are being being put together, tension increases

- Climax - the puzzle is completed and shown to the reader/viewer

- Conclusion - payoff for the characters, they lived happily ever after

Detective novels often try to give the reader the opportunity to put the pieces together before the characters do. Other stories can give you a similar pay off though.

We need more interesting people to be obscenely rich.

Not a dig against the people in the article, but basically we need more people that are nothing like them, from other walks of life to be extremely rich and free to pursue things.

Also a lot of problems in society seem to be linked to wealth disparity. Dystopian visions of the future are almost always dystopian due to wealth disparity. Who’s working on solving that?
> Very little we do in the west would alter the trajectory inside China,

We altered the trajectory by making a pact with Mao, who bears the honor of more killings on his name than Hitler.

> Accusations against intellectuals and politicians in the west are at best polemic, and at worst bad faith. The author simply wants to bash western intellectuals they disagree with.

I think your criticism is a bit shallow here. Kissinger did sell the pact with Mao as a strategic outmaneuver of the Soviet Union. But his main point is that "Wandel durch Handel" (as the Germans insisted on in the last decades towards Russia despite US warnings) is just an eufemism of "lets make money".

I guess you'd have seen how big western brands bend over to China to betray human values. Apple, Tesla, Google you name it, they all sold their soul (if there would have been anything left) for more, more.

The result is that in the West people gets cynical or don't think about human values as worthy to uphold anymore. Its a slippery slope. To the surprise of the autocrats, we are not morally dead yet. Putin thought we would bend over again for some coins, calculating that we already went in a deadly, eternal sleep. Us acting for once altered Xi's calculation wrt Taiwan.

> China hasn't invaded anywhere outside its own territory for a long time

You should wonder why every neighbor of China is wary or is having a conflict right now. You should pay closer attention to Hong Kong, look even more closely how the Party deals with Han-Chinese vs non Han Chinese, and how any one not Chinese enough ends up in a concentration camp.

> (We're not wrong to seek the social justice. It's hurt us economically because China doesn't and pays well)

"We're not wrong..." You are missing the forest for the trees I am afraid. One of the central themes of the CCP and Putin is that they support autocracies and try to thwart democracies.
The biggest threat to any autocratic leader is democracy, the rule of law and innate rights for the people.
They call their disgust for those matters as striving for multi-polarity. The rule based world order is what they try to overthrow. For that, they need support from the oligarchs in the West. They need their capital and the knowledge of the free world. Our billionaires brought it, they are bending more on request.

This is not just hurting us a a by product, it is a win-win for the CCP.

As an recently ex small regenerative farmer, seeding is a well understood process - tools like the Jang or four-row seeder make it fast and easy. What really peeved me was the repetitive, uncreative aspects, primarily the cultivation - I can't think of many less exciting things than walking up and down beds of crops too small to have a closed canopy dragging a cultivation hoe as close to the rows as feasible. Its one thing when the plants are big enough for some variation; but by then theyve shaded out the weeds and its not needed.

I would love a tool like this, even if it required setting up some sort of track, which could run a standard seeder on a precise path and then habitually run a standard cultivating hoe within a quarterinch of the rows it seeded without me thinking about it. I could never rig up something suitable on a BCS toolbar, its bed clearance wasnt enough. Being able to not interact with a crop beyond irrigation maintenace, filling seed hoppers, and harvesting/bed flipping would be amazing.
I guess this depends on your definition of “rich.” Not to say 106k isn’t a lot of money, but as far as engineering annual salaries goes I’d say it’s in the mid to low range.

Well, the accounting model is not about naming...It is about detecting dependent transactions very early so you can figure out how many can go into a block in parallel. Another one I like is the pricing model, a.k.a rent. You pay the rent, and your account survives in the chain. Once you are done, you stop paying rent, and the runtime sweeps your account under the carpet.
(you can also create your account rent-exempt and get all the money back).

> The default is to show you the first twenty pages or so,

For anything other than a novel, that's usually the least representative sample. That'll give you the copyright, table of contents (admittedly useful) and the Preface and the Introduction and a page with a couple of quotations on it.

Not really great to judge the quality of writing / code samples or whatever you're interested in.

I always used to use zlib for "flicking through" a book the way you would in a bookshop to see if it was worth buying it.
Armies got a lot better when the officers stopped being restricted to the nobility. This was forced on European armies by the slaughter of the nobility in WW2.

The subtext of the movie "The Blue Max" was about commoners becoming acceptable as fighter pilots because the knights were wiped out.

P.S. It's a tragedy that an excellent movie like TBM is not available on bluray. Sigh.
Bookstore buying has one benefit in that you can verify the condition of the book. I'm really sick of getting bruised books in the mail. So, with expensive hardbacks, I've shifted to ordering through a b&m so I can be sure of getting an undamaged book.
> But yeah, it's against the evidence to think native american societies could have posed any meaningful defense or offense against old world countries.

But they did pose a meaningful defense. The Mayans weren't fully conquered until the early 1800s, the Mapuche the late 1800s--effectively, it took Spain (and later Chile/Argentina) over 300 years to conquer the Native Americans. Quite frankly, the main reason they succeeded was not that the indigenous peoples were inferior, but that the Europeans could afford to wage a low-grade war for centuries, and stomach the surprisingly frequent setbacks, whereas the indigenous peoples couldn't.

Like pretty much every big tech company they have figured out that it's more profitable to give you what you don't want. If they give you what you want right away it's less time you spend looking at ads or potentially getting exposed to new things to buy. Google search results haven't become worse on accident. Amazon and eBay are the same way, poor search results create more conversions and more time engaged. It's the digital equivalent of grocery stores putting milk on the back wall.

Because TikTok is built to be a personalized social media, but Google Maps is not built to be a personalized route finding service. I can imagine adding such personalization will make most of the caches in route finding unusable. I would instead argue Google has a much harder job than TikTok. TikTok getting your mood has no consequence; Google Maps getting your route wrong has consequences.
>At the end of the day, most people are fine with "buying" a book that they don't own as evidenced by the sales.

Everyone wants to blame it on something, but the reality is we are in a bear market. All but a few coins will go down 90+%, the few others will go down 70% and bitcoin dominance (bitcoin market cap compared to entire crypto market cap) will go up.

Some of these coins will recover in the next bull market, but the question is always which ones. This cycle has happened multiple times at this point.

Crypto is dead, the sky is falling. Its all happened before. The only thing that might be different this time is we could be starting a very long global bear market started by high interest rates in the U.S. to curb runaway inflation.
> I'm surprised that these sorts of calculators don't take that into account by having the user first pick their specific "archetype", e.g. from a set of images.

They can't. Unfortunately, until a woman is in a properly sized bra, it's pretty much impossible to actually have the information needed to determine said archetype. It's REALLY hard to visually eye breast roots, especially on larger women, and in addition a lot of the archetypes are relative (for example, knowing if you have short roots means you have to know what a 'average height' or 'tall' root would look like). You also can only tell your archetype while wearing a bra because supported breasts behave differently than breasts au natural.

As an example, I have very, very close-set breasts - I need low gores because when I'm in a bra, there's literally no separation between tissue. However, braless you can't tell this at all - it's an interaction between the wire, fabric tension, and my body. Which is why you need a properly fitting bra to tell: Otherwise the wire isn't sitting in the right place and won't be interacting with the tissue in the same way. And close-set versus wide-set is one of the easier things for a woman to determine on her own.
