Doing better how, exactly? People can't retire because the retirement age is going up or there's no one to run the business. There are vast swathes of cities that have become literal ghost towns because the children leave and the parents die. The economy has become massively stagnate, quality of living is going down and the generation that they expect to support these final pillars has been checking out due to horrid working conditions.
Lots of objects don't have a natural way to return a sorted version of themselves, especially inplace (what's the reverse sort of a range, for example). You get the same in Ruby, as you've just demonstrated. Sorting into a list is the only thing that makes sense in all cases.

In that way `sorted` _is_ totally consistent - it always takes an iterable and returns a list of the elements. If we can't agree on that then I don't think there's much of a discussion to be had here.
> I would argue Python is very consistent in its design, it aims to only have one obvious way to do things

This argument is dead the second one stumbles upon the string interpolation/formatting situation. Or the list comprehensions, ew.
> But imagine the complete deployment looks like 2 monoliths, a dozen supporting webservices, 3 databases, redis, an elasticsearch cluster, ActiveMQ and a mailserver.

Make sense, in such case you probably want to transition your production environment from compose to one node swarm cluster (docker running in swarm mode).

Then you just define ingress server (caddy/nginx/haproxy/traefik), probably some service you want to share like a database and use docker stacks (docker stack deploy) where you can keep config for each stack separated.

This approach is very modular yet still relatively simple to maintain once you understand concepts around docker swarm and how docker stacks work.

If you want to be more robust, you can describe your deployment in simple ansible recipes, but I found this approach a bit cumbersome and try to stick with simple readme file for deployment as long as possible.

For more complex deployments I'm toying with an idea of diving into hashicorp nomad but this type of tools requires a dedicated devops team which makes sense for large multi-node deployments when swarm allows you to keep stack very simple as most devs already know docker-compose and the learning curve to maintain swarm clusters is still approachable compared to properly diving into devops world.
Unions work best when the people need some amount of training such that you can't just hire new people, but otherwise they are inter-changeable. If you work an assembly line your pace of work is dictated by the slowest station/worker, no matter how good you are at your job you are not better than anyone else. Tech work there are ways you can be better than someone else and so unions don't work as well. (don't confuse with don't work at all, just that they don't work as well because we are not all in it together)
Company makes $2B/year profit with 75k employees.

Company lays off 7500 people, saving ~$1.5B / year in payroll / benefits / office space / etc.

Company takes one-time ~$1.5B charge for severance and other layoff costs.

Investors believe company will see ~$1B more net profit in subsequent years, assuming 10% staff reduction can be absorbed with little profit impact.

Share price reflects NPV of future profits, so stock rises.

For this to work, you still need an entity in Ukraine to accept bitcoin and owning Ukraine currency.

The same thing with 3th world countries: to be able to rescue your money, you need to find someone who wants to take that risky currency and exchange it to crypto for you and back if you need it.

But as soon as Bitcoin/crypto is so established than there is a big chance that the country/dictator steps in and forbids it.yes that is technically possible (see great Chinese firewall)
> I understand the problem, but what better way do we currently have to measure its connection to reality?

We can consider its responses to a broader range of questions than those having an unambiguous and well-known answer. Its propensity for making up 'facts', and for fabricating 'explanations' that are incoherent or even self-contradictory shows that any apparent understanding of the world being represented in the text is illusory.
> While Texas prisoners can read Hitler’s manifesto, the state banned pioneering Black journalist Ida B. Wells’ book “On Lynchings” because its examination of racist vigilante mobs used “racial slurs.” Similarly, Louisiana bans texts by Black prison abolitionists, including George Jackson’s “Blood in My Eye” and Mariame Kaba’s “We Do This ‘Til We Free Us,” for being “racially inflammatory.” But it allows “Mein Kampf,” as well as every single book mentioned in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s round-up of racist literature.

Certainly very bizarre
Why just one or the other?
Sounds pretty much how I use mine. I just turn on the Xbox Series X, and via CEC it turns the TV on, once I'm done, I turn off the console and the TV turns off. In basic mode it doesn't even list the "apps" on the TV, so you can't even accidentally click on them. From the Sony remote its just input controls, settings, and the home screen which is just a list of inputs.
I am serious! Like I mentioned, I only care about the phone having an unlocked bootloader so I can install whatever software I desire, which means I don't really care about the camera or any of its features. I like to live a simple life. I have a nice Canon mirrorless camera for when I need good quality photography. As long as the phone can make calls, browse the web, send text messages and have a few messaging apps on a custom ROM (which most support), I'm plenty happy.
As someone with first-hand experience in implementing pass-through AR, I found the review well-made (e.g., they measured photon-to-photon latency) and extremely interesting. Here's a few observations I made:

1. 30 Hz frame rate and 50ms photon-to-photon latency sound so bad that I'm surprised they launched this at all. I would be very interested in trying this out to see how (un)comfortable the experience is. What I would have expected is pass-through feed rate synchronized to display frame rate (i.e., 90 Hz) and photon-to-photon latency no more than perhaps 2 frames (22ms). At 90 Hz and 11ms you can actually play ping-pong while wearing a pass-through headset.

2. I can relate with the exposure, saturation, and noise issues. The existing well-tuned video ISP pipes aren't suitable for low latency, and building a new one that achieves low latency and gives a good picture in indoor lighting from an essentially smartphone sensor with exposure time < 11ms and doesn't add multi-frame latency is HARD.

3. Above points to one possible explanation for the 30Hz capture; maybe they used a cheap sensor that can't produce usable picture in < 11ms exposure time (in dimly lit indoor environment) and thus had to go with 30Hz capture. Would be interesting to repeat the experiment in well-lit (outdoor) environment to see if the capture pipe kicks into a higher framerate.

4. I wonder if they do any warping to correct for the camera positions and how well that works. For AR-focused headset the ideal pass-through camera positions would approximate eye positions to minimize need for distortion. Even shifting capture positions a few centimeters forward from the eyes (which you'd need to do if you don't replace eyes with cameras or play tricks with optics) creates a subtle but noticeable effect unless corrected.
That's not a fair generalisation IMO. Most notably, moves to unionise workers at large retail companies in the US such as Amazon can only be a good thing.

Some are bad, sure. Some unions here in the UK are bad too, but the general principle that unions work to protect workers is indisputable.
Nope. If I cannot live comfortably with a dream job, I'll work on something else unfortunately. And work on whatever dream I have with whatever time and energy remains, if any.

Otherwise, I'd already be working on the exact things I want to work on, and earn almost nothing (for maybe a long time).
What's the point of your comment without naming him?
Which is funny because rooted android users can easily make any app believe it isn't rooted. Had to do that recently with the French identity app.
> Also, RISC-V compressed instructions are RISC-V 32-bit, therefore a comparison with 64-bit architectures is not applicable.

No, both 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V have compressed instructions, and they're nearly identical (IIRC, there's one compressed instruction which is different).
It seems to me that "covert" is implied by the word. Spying is done in secret by definition.
> College football gets big ratings every year with replaced players.

We're talking about professionals. If the Chiefs could replace Patrick Mahomes and save themselves $450,000,000 without impacting their business, they would.
Totally agree. I did a PhD in Pure Math. 6 years later I could no longer give anything but a superficial explanation of my own thesis. Now ~15 years later my thesis is totally impenetrable to me. Advanced math is a house of cards that quickly falls if you're not actively reinforcing it.
Indeed.

I already use chatGPT in place of google sometimes. It has upsides and downsides, but I absolutely find it to be useful given the right prompt. Not sure how they will scale it to bing level but if they’re able to respond with both chatGPT response and the normal links I think it’d be a better product.
If you live in the UK or the EU, I think you can follow the process I went through in 2019, provided that you bought the laptop in the last N years, where N seems to change depending on which country you're in. England is 6 years, Scotland is 5.

That's a tautology. Human creative works by definition reflect the humanity of their creators. AI creative works reflect the humanity of its training set, which eventually may be indistinguishable.

As for all art being human, there are a lot of birds who make art to attract a mate in nature, and at least one captive elephant that can paint.
Just to be clear. Your idea is that something is art when it was made by a human. And a perfect replication of it somehow loses the trait, and becomes non-art? This makes zero sense. This would make only the physical object itself the art, and it wouldn't matter what form it has?

Hello there! I have 15 years of experience in Level 1 Tech Support/Junior Sysadmin roles with a bit of scattered programming here and there, and I would like to jump ships and land a role as a Junior DevOps/SRE. To skill up on that matter and get on-par with the market, I am currently following a DevOps course online (Nana's DevOps course to mention it) as well as a few other primers courses in the pipeline such as AWS Fundamentals, Python, Golang, etc on LinkedIn Learning. If you are from a company who cares about your employees skill progression (where learning is expected and encouraged), I think I may be a good fit- hit me up! As for a date for a job change, there is an ongoing migration at my current workplace I wanted to complete before jumping ships. Mostly new AD Domain and new fleet of PCs to deploy, then I should be good for a switch. No clue for a date at the time of writing my post, however. Thanks!

Those who object to or are skeptical about ChatGPT for search on the basis of accuracy issues or content rights are missing some crucial points.

Accuracy issues will improve. Mostly likely the improvement necessary for LLMs to answer a vast majority of queries as reliably as necessary will happen quickly. Not for all cases. But for a sufficiently large set of cases to make Google alternatives very compelling.

And content rights issues won't stop the march of chat interfaces anymore than they stopped the march of streaming services. What will happen is the evolution of new dynamics and rules in the means by which information is produced and information producers are incentivized and compensated.

The key with respect to content is that LLMs require source material to be produced in the first place. And, for the foreseeable future, AI will still rely on humans to produce that source content. Human labor forces will need to evolve and reorganize to optimize the production of original information in that setting.

It's been my experience that seniority does play a role in unions, although it does vary depending on the job. Usually it's first dibs on some benefit, like OT or time off around holidays.
This is untrue. I've worked in union shops and work and pay there are very much based on seniority

Rails is quite the double-edged sword, too. Even putting aside the controversial close ties to DHH (which is a hell of an exception to be making), the dominating presence of Rails within the Ruby ecosystem means that any Ruby-adjacent project either becomes a Rails-adjacent project (and possibly gets absorbed into Rails itself) or fades into irrelevance. It makes expanding the language into non-web framework domains really challenging.

It appears the Elixir community has observed this pattern and has learned from it; time will tell whether that lovely language can build enough popularity to overcome its relative niche status.

(Context: Ruby is my primary programming language; I rotate clients fairly frequently; nobody doesn’t use Rails.)

> If unions were effective I’d expect at least somewhat comparable wages… but that’s not the case.

Because wage is all you care for. How about: maternity leave, paid sick leave, child support, paid vacation days, wage protections, etc. etc.? And not just for software engineers, but for everyone?

> that also means as a union worker you can’t work more and make more. You’re stuck with what the union negotiated.

That also means that I cannot be forced to work overtime with no overtime pay.

> But even European ones, from the data (I’ve never experienced one), doesn’t seem effective.

If you only limit your data to only wages, then sure, that data will support whatever narrative you want.
It’s rather amusing, in a dark sense, that Salesforce is about to lay off part of their sales force.
Why would anyone sign up for some list if there's no information about what it is, what its meant to look like, or even a proper description?
If I were applying to YC again I would be tempted to pitch a private / non-profit prison. I abhor the idea of private prisons but it seems like the only way in our modern society to build a prototype of one that actually treats incarcerated people like human beings.
Last time they did this, it was _right_ after the window that they had grandstanded and asked other companies to pledge no pandemic layoffs.

Benioff did a whole media tour talking about how Salesforce would do no pandemic layoffs to set some kind of example, and said that they didn't expect other companies to follow their example, but asked them to just pledge no layoffs for 90 days, even though Salesforce was going to do better than that.

Around 91 says later, Salesforce laid off 10% of the company, with no prior warning to the employees who were laid off. The atmosphere internally from the top down was outrage that any of the employees who were laid off would mention that they got laid off to their family/friends/coworkers, and that doing so was somehow a betrayal of "trust".

Brett Taylor, who was then the "co-CEO" (read: Benioff's cleanup crew and babysitter), led an all-hands a month or so later where they took no questions and referred to this as a "one-time reshaping exercise". Benioff slipped up and told MSNBC that this was an annual thing. Brett Taylor pretended not to know Benioff had said that, and acted like it never happened.

This all-hands was a full month after the all-hands that took place the same week as the layoffs. In that one, they took questions, but since all the questions were about the layoffs, they acted like nobody had submitted any questions and the Q&A host came up with some softball "what projects are you excited about"/"what's the biggest challenge with being a market leader" ego questions instead.

I didn't believe that it was "one-time" then, and today I've learned that I was right not to. I left before it became a habit, and have only been relieved to have left.

I wonder when the next annual 10% layoffs will happen at Salesforce? Because it's pretty much the only thing I'd trust them to do reliably at this point.

The source of drugs in prisons is primarily the people who work there [1]:

> Prison staff are often responsible as well: During the pandemic, even though visitation from family and friends was suspended, attorney visits were restricted, and teachers, tutors, and volunteers stayed home, drugs got into many prisons anyway. As The Marshall Project reported, the number of incarcerated people disciplined or charged for drugs actually increased during the pandemic in Texas prisons.

Prisoners highly value books and other reading material. They are generally looked after. Many prisons limit the number of personal items so reading materials are passed to other prisoners (who themselves may not have the funds or outside family to purchase them).

Banning books isn't a safety issue. It's another means of squeezing more profit from the incarcerated.

> (cue the "it's open-source, if you don't like it fork it, but dare not criticize us because it's rude" comment)

“If you don't like it, fork it” (or a little less polite “if you don't like it, feel free to fork off”!) is perfectly valid IMO. The second part should just be “don't criticize rudely”.
Ah, thanks. I did search before submitting but nothing came up at the time (must have been my connection).
Can people hit their function keys without looking at the keyboard? Sure, hitting F5 to go to your terminal is less keystrokes than e.g. Cmd+tab+tab, but I can't hit anything in the function row without glancing down at my keyboard. And I put a lot of value in looking at my keyboard as little as possible
The problem is not that the results are inaccurate, it's that the AI acts super confident in the responses even when it's complete nonsense. This could be very misleading to unsuspecting users.
What I find absurd is the author takes the stance that banning books is wrong, but not so subtly hints that so called “racist” books should be banned.

I find this contradictory.
