It's an absolute nightmare of fixed-field records and XML (Southwest uses Amadeus for scheduling but Sabre is just as bad; and AFAIK operations at all airlines are a chaotic hodge podge). Southwest performs all operations in Central Time because nobody's figured out how to reliably add time zones to all systems all at once. This means they have something like a 34 hour operational day, and every flight must take off and land in the same operational day.

It's a satisfying job for the right personality type!
I wrote an Android app. Around 100000 lines of Pascal (+50% more in dependencies) and 10000 lines of Kotlin.

It takes four times 10 seconds to compile the Pascal code to multiple platforms and like 4 minutes to run gradle and compile the Kotlin code.

I do not know why it would be so slow
It’s a funny issue.

For “normal” people, it’s a non-issue. Once you get to the people who fall out of the funnel, it gets more complex. How do you keep ID current for a 95 year old in a nursing home? Or a kid who can’t get vital records documentation?

Compulsory federal ID is a weird issue that the extremes
of political discourse agree on, and the moderates mildly support or meh.
Yeah, I did a search and realized it was the emacs bindings but didn't bother editing my comment as most people I've worked with don't know them or even stop to consider if it's possible. A better example would be o/O, c3w, ci) and so on. Even holding Ctrl+[Arrow keys/backspace/delete] to move word by word is rare to see even if supported everywhere.

Of course (and I mentioned it in my first comment) there are people fluent in vscode but it's far from the norm, and doesn't have to be. As you say for vim users it's a hobby or even lifestyle.

But this thread started with questioning if "vim is a productivity gain at all", and I'm confident it is. I use it everywhere from window manager to browsers, and where it isn't natively supported by plugins/extensions I add my own keybindings to get at least movements and scroll.
Nope, I take it back. The article is not coming from a place of (in my opinion) reason.

This is, in fancy language and snowed under by enumeration of historical research, math and science, an argument that "computers can never have a soul".

From the article:

"""
No matter how sophisticated the computation is ... there remains an unbridgeable gap (a “humanity gap”) between the ... ability of machine and the general problem solving ability of man.
"""

This is just standard dualist nonsense under the guise of logical objectivity.

Note that there is a deeper issue about the shortcomings of statistical pattern matching to do logic, which is what the paper I reference above is trying to get at, but the parent article's fundamental assumption/conclusion is that computers will never be able to reason.

Fluid mechanics are well understood.

Masks have been hailed as a silver bullet (so that people don't have to get active and eat well and be healthy, and government and businesses don't have to upgrade HVAC systems), to the point where people think they work outside!

Are there masks that work? Yes. Is that cheap surgical mask or a cotton one really effective? No.
Honestly the formulaic simplicity of gaining matches on Tinder gave me a bit of depression once I had it figured out while I was still on the apps. For anyone else with success on dating apps you'll know what I'm talking about.

I've been in a long term relationship for a while now (thank god) but one of the first things I thought of when ChatGPT came out was using it to do just this with Tinder matches. Anyone who does while the other person on Tinder doesn't suspect anything is going to have a major leg-up on their competition.

I go midway there.

I stick in one a4 size folded paper in each book I am reading.

Thoughts, references, names, dates, quotes, aha moments all go into that one page. Usually read a chapter, re-read it and then take notes, not while reading.

Page goes into a binder when I complete or drop the book. I like the index of one page summaries I've built up this way. Also nice to see my thought processes evolving.
Well, yeah. That is why you don’t prevent wars with sanctions.
It depends on how one views "free tier," since if one doesn't pay when requested (whether from the end of a trial, just normal expiry, or if there's a separation event from the "free family for business") the vault remains yours and active, but goes read only.

I don't know what would lead you to believe there's any syncing restriction from 1Password, but if that is your experience it's almost certainly a bug, since to the very best of my knowledge 1Password doesn't engage in hostage-taking like that
If we can make it harder to run a scam call business by changing things on our end, and these changes do not impede non-fraudulent use, why not go for it?

I don’t see why you’re pushing so hard against this line of reasoning, I guess. You’re making it sound like a hopeless endeavor to even try, in a “don’t lock your doors because thieves will just use lock picks” kind of way.
One of the major features I'm looking for is the ability to easily list passwords by age.

The use case is "I want an easy access "todo list" of all passwords to update that are older than (x months|specific date)"

I would use this after notification of a breach or on my own schedule. Having to manually inspect each item is not acceptable.

Bonus points if I can specify a "policy" for items (using tags and groups is acceptable if they can be incorporated into the search without too much effort). Super bonus points if the tool generates notifications and todo list automatically.

Why these features are not standard boggles the mind. LastPass used to have this feature but removed it for who-know-why reasons.
None of that needs to happen on the server, so cookies aren't needed.
>And when you consider that hard drives have stagnated in price over the past few years, YouTube is doomed if it does not delete unprofitable videos

Not necessarily, is storage(and not retrieval) that much of a cost? and if so is youtube's revenue/storage cost actually decreasing? and if it is would the backlash for deleting people's videos worth the reputational cost? especially when you have an entire industry around small people trying to get big, the majority of which will never get there.

Youtube even tried putting a limitation on non-premium users watching 4k video and pulled back on it, can't imagine something as drastic as deleting videos would be worth it.
Different species, perhaps different groups within a species, behave differently. I've heard of this but never seen it.
> "What's unique is the partial failure, it's never happened," he said. "This isn't a drill you can run."

As someone who writes some very thorough unit tests... and also have had to have mandatory training... I find "this isn't a drill you can run" to be _very_ wrong.
The login text input button overlay is often obscured by other elements with click triggers, in some cases making it unusable. Many sites don’t populate with the input button so you have to get the password using context menus.

I’ve trained 3-4 non-technical users on LastPass and none of them found it intuitive or easy.

I’ve managed it in a corporate environment for dozens of users who were younger and more tech savvy, for them it was mostly okay.
> What was last major innovation at Google.. chrome?

There’s alphago and alpha star etc. What about Waymo (splitting the company into pieces doesn’t make it a different company)? Since chrome they have made a lot of hardware too. Not to mention the dead attempts at innovation which didn’t pan out like stadia
> The vast majority of scams are “romance” scams.

do you have any sort of citation for that?
That doesn't seem surprising. When it was still at a "quirky" level, it didn't bother investors or much of the tech community, because it was all excusable as someone blowing off steam in a way that wasn't directly interfering with his work. Some people didn't like it because he was an asshole, but mostly just in a "ugh, that guy" kind of way that didn't interfere with them later deciding to buy a Tesla.

Then he bought Twitter, and suddenly his behavior was actively hurting his companies -- Tesla because he had to sell stock which affected prices and because he's tarnishing the brand by going political, and Twitter because he was making erratic decisions that drove away users and advertisers. So investors started to care.
My fear is governments instituting such programs instead of offering more choices, and perhaps even then looking at statistics skewed by assisted suicide to argue against instituting other programs.

Personally, I think that in any wealthy country, even one person feeling that their life isn't worth continuing for purely economic reasons should be considered a failure of the entire government. I of course know we are nowhere near such an attitude being mainstream, but that is where my point is coming from.

I am very much afraid of right-wing governments feeling more and more empowered to say "if they don't like their living conditions, they can just ask for assisted suicide" as the ultimate alternbcative to any social investment.
Private businesses can be just as inefficient but when they are and don't clean up their act they tend not to survive too long.

Public institutions are indeed bound by some rules that force some inefficiencies. But after decades working both in the private and the public sectors I can say with confidence that the public sector is substantially less efficient, for a myriad of reasons, some legitimate and some not.
It's possible for an easement to exist for the owner of a private corner-locked parcel, but not for the public. Which would allow private owners legal access to their land, but still prohibit public access to the public land.
> but his pro-Putin / anti-American policy towards Ukraine

What an absurd characterization. Don’t you have something better to do than wake up and post lies on the internet?

He said they should negotiate an end to the war, that’s not “pro-putin”.

It really bothers me when people like yourself post these blatantly false statements, and I can’t say I’m surprised this post is still up/not flagged.
abysmal compared to?
Then the readme should say that, because it currently presents itself as being a complete and functional solution. In fact, the readme only mentions Windows support as being WIP, which implies that everything else isn't. And the version number doesn't tell us anything about functional completeness; people frequently use 0.x only to mean that they're not committing to any stability guarantees.
Riffusion Release v0.3 – Stable Diffusion for audio
We were blown away by the community interest in our Riffusion experiment (see https://www.riffusion.com/about).

We're now catching up and did a full rewrite to go from a hack to a quality software project. It also includes an extensible CLI tool and an interactive streamlit app for common tasks, MPS backend support, stereo spectrogram encoding, a test suite run by CI, and more. These tools provide a solid foundation to build upon.
That’s kind of sad that they won’t just fix it if they can. I over hear my elderly parents give each other tips like “don’t open that email, it’s fake” and things like that.
> What I find interesting is nobody complained about Musk’s social media antics when he proclaimed himself to be Technoking of Tesla or when he hyped dogecoins with diamond hands.

People have indeed criticized both of those and many of the other things Musk has tweeted before the recent Tesla stock decline, and even the SEC has taken legal action based on ]Musk’s past tweets.
Indeed. Lots of them are franchises that own their own stock.

I usually find this reasoning to be fallacious. Sure this hypothetical person in an hypothetical setting might hypothetically exist in an hypothetical future. However, bringing it up doesn't provide value to the topic at hand.

Your point doesn't refute what I said, or answer a point I made -- I never said it was always a problem. At best I said it very much was now.
> avoid hitting anything or being hit by anything

Two options for the former are: brake or swerve. While for the latter a 3rd option, accelerate, can also be in play.

Which do you pick when?
When you brake or swerve or accelerate, what other environmental factors (e.g. wet road, gravel road, construction workers present), should be taken into account?
To be clear, I said

> each of the various permutations do have their use cases where they shine
Personally, I switched to voice messages (via WhatsApp or Slack). It doesn't work for everything, but... if I know this will take me more than a minute to type, it is going to be a voice message. If it requires visual aid – Loom.

The only problem with audio/Loom messages is that it is not easily indexable, but that's a tooling problem that can be easily solved.

I rarely use email (I may ask someone to compose an email for me). In this setup, I do see value if I had a Slack bot that I could say to "ask lawyers for an update on X". But even then, people would immediately know that the email came not from "me"...

Personally, I'd like to see more tooling around

What's the story with "my phone went in the lake" using that setup?
A couple of items to our advantage: there are quite a few carriers here but only very few of those have physical infrastructure and those tend to have strong political connections. They are tied in with LE and AIVD at the operations level and have excellent security departments and a reputation to uphold. Then there is the willingness of the local authorities to put time into this, and publicize when they nab some of these scammers. And finally, NL is a small market with a weird little language that isn't spoken much outside of our borders. (South African doesn't count ;) ).
Yeah, obviously alienating the target market for your company will destroy your deliveries and your stock price. Shanghai factory is currently shut down and it will continue the shutdown also in January. The cars are currently sold with a 7500$ discount in US and in other countries.

Perhaps the title should be "15% of terminal patients choose assisted suicide".

Presuming 35% of people who die, do so in need of palliative care [1] -- it is only a further one in seven who seek assisted suicide? In this light, I'd expect the number of deaths to be higher than 5%. Also, isn't it silly to report cause of death as suicide, when it was cancer or some other condition that would soon take their life regardless?

i would imagine that's especially vulnerable to disruption as any delay/issue is magnified throughout the rest of the flights.
> Companies need top-down decision-making, but those decision-makers need to spend more time on the front line.

This is not rewarded so it doesn't happen. Managers are rewarded for line goes up so they only focus on line goes up. If line ever doesn't go up it costs them money (advancement, compensation) even if there's little they could have done to make line go up.
It's definitely some default (or "null" in a DB) value and that is exactly what OP is insinuating.
Pilots don't get into work on the morning, stay there for an entire cycle, and get back home in the night.

Have you been to India and seen the absolute squalour and poverty that exists? I guess the net happiness in the world increases everytime some poor indian scams an american. The american is momentarily pissed off and wiser about scams, while the Indian has got a lot of money that will improve his living standards considerably.
I wonder if the difficulty at this point is algorithmic, or if they even have the data to make "reasonable" decisions, never mind optimizing them.

Like what do they do with the bags that are sitting on the plane for cancelled flights? Store them where they are? Figure out their origin and start queuing them to be sent there? Try to get information from the passenger about where to send it?

And then with planes and crews, do they even have "potential" flights where they would be able to reliably seat a worthwhile number of passengers?

Both can be bad, but private businesses tend to be much less wasteful than government because you have to make money or you go out of business, whereas government can waste your money without any thought of profit and just tax you more next year.

As someone that has worked for the Military and Fortune 500s, both are bad, but the government is in a different league when it comes to wasting money.

Wow, seriously, they are really good at this. If not for this explanation, I would totally thought only testing environment got accessed.
> forced to continue to live a life they have no interest in

Who said they have no interest in life? There are already clear examples of people choosing this who do want to continue living, but don't see a way to meet their own needs with the resources given to them.

Later down thread you switch to a "there is no interest in funding them" argument. Which is straight up wicked sorry. That's just saying regardless of whether you find life living, we don't find your life worth living, so expect you to end it.

I don't have any particular generalized moral objection to suicide per se. I believe people should be able to meet the end of their life on their own terms with dignity and agency. But I also know that we live in an unequal world, and that people will be, are now presented with this option when they would not otherwise choose it, when we don't find their lives worth living.
I apologize for the controversial and maybe inflammatory opinion, but it’s my reaction and thought on the issue. How much more were the American people just fleeced by Congress for this money that was sent to Ukraine? 10x more money. No one can scam the American people like our own government.
Perhaps, although a power company spokesperson did say that the damage was done by “people who likely had familiarity with the systems.” (Or something to that effect.)
It's not bad, it's reprehensible. Notwithstanding the fact that there are about a dozen moral qualms about this line of thinking, the economic conditions of the countries have little bearing on the economic situations of individuals in this interaction.

I'd wager that the scammers here are more wealthy than most of the people they are scamming. And given their criminal backgrounds, they are likely to do more harm than unintended good to the people around them. Remember Gandhi who once said, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".
Consider reading The Peaceful Pill Handbook for a pretty thorough overview of the options.
In these types of call centers, nobody is malnourished. The people making the calls are probably making a pretty meager salary (let's say $300 a month) and the singular company owner takes in all profits, and spends it on BMWs, his 10 pieces of land, and his 20 other unrelated business ventures.

> disappointed in LastPass ... moved over to Bitwarden

Same as well, with an intermediate move to Dashlane. I want a reliable, expensive password manager. It's not an easy problem to solve, so if someone's trying to do it cheap, they'll get it wrong. I wish Bitwarden would charge more, but they've proven more secure than LastPass and the Android client is way more reliable than Dashlane.
It also might be fine if they only have to deal with this kind of event once every few years but it lowers their costs substantially the rest of the time. I wouldn't love it as a customer, but who knows.
