I don't understand this meme, which is absurdly popular.

"Not updating a warrant canary" isn't the crime here. "Creating a warrant canary" is the crime, as it's an action whose only purpose is to violate a gag order.
but its 2.5Gb. Each ethernet port is only 1Gb. You'd need have what, three pairs, all simultaneously trying to transfer their nearly their full 1Gb to saturate 2.5Gb.

If you have 5 or less, it shouldn't be an issue.

But yes, it would not necessarily work great in something in like an apartment.
This is obviously subjective. There's much more practice and education with buttons since they have historically been simpler to construct, and touchscreen native individuals arent even driving age yet.
Those are not mutually exclusive and could perfectly well be true, if you bear in mind that it's some businesses and some knowledge workers.

If your proposed explanation is broadly right, then you can describe it in two equally valid ways. (1) Some very good developers (etc.) present themselves in ways that lead to not getting job offers. (2) Some employers, when looking developers, are put off by presentation in ways that lead to not extending offers to good developers.

"Present yourself in ways that employers will like" is probably good advice for would-be employees. But so is "Look past presentation and slick self-selling" for would-be employers.

That might not be true if there were a glut of suitable employees, so that an employer only willing to employ people who tuck their shirts in nicely isn't short of good employees on that account. But, as you put it yourself: "Businesses say they can't get enough knowledgeworkers". Some employers, at least, don't find it easy to get the people they want. Maybe they would find it easier if they put lower priority on shirt-tucking.

The last paragraph seems to be made entirely of slogans rather than actual thinking. Someone who is good at their job but wears a hoodie is not a "broken banana". (Maybe they're a banana with slightly more or less curvature than the average, or something.)

Also, I don't say anything in the original piece suggesting that the person who wrote it isn't getting job offers because of ... well, let's be frank about what you're saying, because of not looking sufficiently upper-middle-class. They claim that the problem is that in an interview situation they aren't quick and smooth enough at solving programming-interview problems. Changing what clothes they wear and how they wear them isn't going to change that.
> in C this function takes any number of arguments ... I guess it’s a leftover ‘syntax pollution’ from old K&R style function declaration syntax). ... Instead in C, declare the parameter list explicitely as ‘void’ so that you actually get compiler errors when accidently passing arguments to ‘my_func()’ ...

I thought that C99 got rid of the "implicitly allows any number of arguments" thing. Maybe I'm mistaken.

The place where I used to see this was header files that might be used by a pre-ANSI compiler. They would omit arguments in the header declarations of functions. I even remember some X11 headers putting those arguments in an ifdef, so that if you had a decent compiler you'd get the checks, but it would still work on ancient compilers.

It wasn't that the function bodies would have args missing and somehow use them. It was about declarations, the kind you see in header files.
"Move fast, break things" works fine with webshit.

It doesn't work when you are building houses for people to live in, where mistakes (say, electrical, structural, or plumbing wise) can lead to fatal incidents.

I've always been interested in trying to code guitar effects. Just over the break I submitted an 8-band EQ to OBS studio that has yet to be merged. That got me thinking about doing more, but I don't know what the best environment to code for is.
I mostly agree, except for the idea that instructions “cannot be ambiguous in any way”. I think this is more of a nuance than anything, however.

I think the difficulty of the nuance is that we usually don’t realize when our language is ambiguous. Handwriting recognition is a super ambiguous problem, despite being easily solved with great accuracy today: good luck formalizing how it’s actually done and explaining it to a layperson.

The difficulty in most non-trivial AI/ML tasks is in figuring out how to structure the problem (for handwriting recognition, let’s not forget that we have the tremendous benefit of hindsight), which essentially amounts to deciding that some kinds of ambiguity are okay (eg.: things that can be reduced to a statistical or classification problem), and some kinds of ambiguity need to be resolved (eg.: avoiding potholes is probably a good idea, and one way or another this has to be rewarded or encoded, by some mechanism… and great care is required to account for basically everything you’d expect to find in a really good driving manual).

There are some types of ambiguities that AI/ML are very good at… But to your point, there is a degree of “relative unambiguity” that is required.

The difficulty is compounded by human biases too: what is obviously-unclear to a careful observer might appear to be super clear to an overconfident person.
As I understand that paper, I would take issue that the LLM isn’t “doing” math at all. Look at Figure 4 for the process to be most clear. It’s generating a text program that when run via Python can solve the problem. All the LLM is doing is matching the equation in the question to whatever operators it needs in Python syntax. I wouldn’t call that doing or understanding math.
I can't help but see that argument as post rationalization from people who have

But there are no analog backups in cars. Engines also operate on software. Not sure to what extent, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that steering wheels and brakes too. I know that sounds a bit scary, but somewhat doubt modern traction control is all analog.
Those are the LoRa frequencies so you might have more luck trying to get some modern LoRa gear communicating with it.

There’s always something that sets us apart, isn’t there? Something that makes “us” better than “them”. Or so we tell ourselves as we continue to rape the planet and kill our cohabitants. The mind can be quite resourceful when faced with cognitive dissonance.
I'm just getting started exploring with exploring DAWs myself and haven't looked at live looping yet. You'd want some sort of MIDI controller for it, and I understand there's hardware for recording samples and MIDI if you don't want to use a DAW.
Hi, ACTUALLY Gayle Laakmann McDowell here. This substack is not mine. It is an impersonation. I reported but substack hasn't deleted yet. I commented and I was, of course, banned.

'Vegitarian Meat', if we are talking about it's role in a diet, is a flavor/texture substitute, not a nutritional substitute. If it wasn't about the flavor, there would be pretty much no reason to buy it.

If you want to pretend it is a nutritional substitute for meat, people on average suffer much more from too much, as opposed to too little, of what meat has, so it's still not really a problem.
This is partially a flaw and partially a feature. It should be common sense that joining a massive room on a tiny server may overload the server: it has to talk to all other servers in the room (which is where most of the resources go), and keep track of the current state (ie key/value pairs such as who’s in the room).

It’s also a flaw in that this could be less heavy: it could be faster to join (which we’ve almost solved via Faster Joins - see https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/25/the-matrix-holiday-update...). We could also speak to a subset of the servers in the room (at the expense of reducing the decentralisation of the room). We can also optimise state resolution further.

For now: if you want to participate in a room whose users are spread over 1000 servers, you’ll need a server beefy enough to talk to 1000 servers every time someone says something.

I map 'S' to this in my .vimrc:

nmap S :wall<cr>

which saves all changed buffers into their respective files.

It is probably the single most productive customization in my .vimrc file. I save my files very often, and I usually have multiple files and buffers open. 'cc' is an alias for the old 'S', so I don't lose much.

Getting lost and staring at a map is vaguely dangerous. Having a map that gets you a clear answer faster is safer. This really doesn't seem controversial to me, it only seems so in this thread because "Tesla".

If you frame it in other ways, it seems more obvious. Is anyone demanding that FedEx drivers or Doordashers use paper maps? Should your Uber driver pull over every time the route changes?
So it's worse than I thought and OP's title is plain wrong, because it's not 75% of the Long-COVID patients but only 75% of everyone with symptoms.
I don’t think vegetarians are really looking for Iron as Spinach provides as much as Meat.

Meat substitutes are about flavor and mouth feel not nutrition, but for those with excess iron (Hemochromatosis) I am sure they will appreciate the option. Which again shows how nutrition exists in context not isolation.
>>Tesla does not want to have these controls, the only reason they have them is because regulation forces them to. Tell me again how the big bad government is ruining Tesla's freedom to do the stupidest things

You think the stupidest thing, I am not anti-touch screen like most here are. In-fact I replaced alot of the factory buttons in my older car with a Aftermarket Large display that is basically a huge android tablet that controls alot of the car functions (including HVAC)

I prefer touch controls.

Why the government preventing me from choosing the control I like the best, and then you can feel free to not buy a car that does not have physical controls.

That is the market. that is how it should be.
Is there more research on how boredom relates to creativity in general? I've been wondering recently about how my default in most cases is to look at my phone (reddit, social media, texting).

That must detract from my net new ideas. I know many a child driven to weird ideas, fun games, and general creativity from lack of anything else to do.

It's probably a spectrum (reading reddit/HN/etc. is likely to introduce new ideas), but I'd venture to guess that most people could stand to trade a lot of their daily phone time for some intentional boredom.

Not the use of oil to avoid sticking is the problem, but eating it after that.

Besides choosing a kind of fat that is less sensitive to temperature, as described in another answer, when possible you should try to clean the fried food of the frying oil and to throw away most of the used oil.

Eat local is a big movement. Drink local should be just as important to those who drink. It supports the local economy. It’s more environmentally friendly. And the beer is usually way better to boot.
> What gives someone a right to move in and create laws to make it harder for other people to do the same thing they did?

Conversely, what gives a right to people who don't even live somewhere to go pass laws in that place so that those who have made their life there can no longer afford to stay and need to get kicked out so that the newcomers can take their place?

Either of these is too extreme, there needs to be some reasonable middle ground. But arguing that outsiders with no connection to a city other than the wish to live there someday are allowed to make laws to get rid of the locals, that doesn't sound right.
If you want a delightful hobby, then I can recommend building your own guitar pedals.

It combines music, electronics, general nerding out (e.g. debating germanium VS silicon diodes), and some visual design if you want to make the enclosures pretty. You might even be able to sell some.

I started by building a kit pedal with one of my kids as a weekend project.

Some search terms to get you started: build your own clone, diy pedal schematics, tag board music effects.
This seems to me to be propaganda, implying you have to be exceptional to get any kind of programming job.

> came up with a plan to take two months off completely, one month to interview, and the fourth month would be a buffer in case interviewing would take longer than I had anticipated.

Maybe I’m conservative but I would have immediately looked for a job, then negotiated a start date that was two months after the interview…
> I've not had this for the last 10 years, so it can definitely be removed.

You’ve sat in regularly scheduled silence for the past 10 years and people still show up?

> Obviously everybody is welcome to bring up whatever is interesting nd worth discussing

But logically they would have already said it when it first became interesting, unless they felt pressure to pad a scheduled meeting with content, withholding information from the group until the meeting takes place. So, again, what’s the point of sitting in silence or purposefully denying the team information to satisfy the social pressure?
Because I don't really want to think about mine, what are your chores?
I have a VW Id.3. it's not just touchscreen interfaces. It's the haptic less buttons as well. Ridiculous design choices. They at least backtraced on the steering wheel buttons which in fact were haptic feedback, but it was a god awful implementations
As a gigging musician, it’s blown my mind how far digital effects have come, specifically amps and pedals. For years I had a fairly extensive collection of pedals, which has now been almost completely replaced by a Line 6 helix pedal that does absolutely everything. People are never gonna stop using analog pedals cause they’re a ton of fun, but from a purely practical perspective, we’re finally at the point where modelling really is indistinguishable from the real thing.
Correct. This substack is an impersonation.
Start investing and pumping money into the market, guys! This time it's safe, market will never go down again and noone will lose money! Promise!

It's funny how they talk of money and market value being erased as if the money is definitely subtracted from balance without being added somewhere else, literally deleted from existance.

When the market crashes for you and others, there's always someone in the high echelons of the game who ends up getting richer.
Anti orthodoxy isn’t necessarily the same as anti science. Questioning the established science is pro science provided it’s done in good faith and it looks like the parent is acting in good faith.

What you’re witnessing is a great reckoning for the scientific community. We’ll see if the orthodoxy still has the faculties to deliver truth with time. I think the community has been corrupted.

tbf, one of ChatGPT's biggest strengths is that it's not nearly as easily tricked as other chatbots

"I'm sorry, but I am not familiar with.... It does not appear to be a commonly used phrase or idiom" is one of its stock phrases, and I was pretty impressed with "It was not possible for Ferdinand Magellan to have circumnavigated your living room, as he lived and died more than four centuries ago", and some of the stuff you can trick it into acknowledging like "the parable of the loaves and the fishes" or treating Allan Klein as the "sixth Beatle" would fool most humans.

(Sometimes the denials go too far, like insisting that not only is there no "eighth Beatle" but also "no record of any additional members being referred to as...any other numbered beatle")
Probably the experience of every eager eyed young nerd who got one. Certainly was mine too.

A company culture is a reflection of the company's leadership.

The culture of Microsoft has gone through radical changes between gates, balmer and nadella.

But a culture isn't _only_ a reflection of the leadership, it's all the interconnections of people and organizations within the whole company.

A leader can come in and make changes, and often these changes first have to break everything that's there already; without care what replaces the broken structures is just chaos; by default that chaos is the governing culture without more inputs and work from leadership.

These changes are most pronounced when 2 large organizations become one because both cultures have inertia (whole foods / amazon, slack / salesforce, etc). But yes, of course when CEOs change there's change to the corporate culture, but because there's only the force from the CEO's changes not entire cultures bashing into entire other cultures, the changes tend to be more gradual.

> there's a lot more applications going out

For good posts, in a recession, recruiters get many more applications than they can reasonably filter. You just take the top 100 off the pile of 1,000 applications, filter those, and dump the rest in the skip. If you're looking for a unique superstar, you don't solicit applications anyway; you hire a headhunter.
You may misunderstand me. I’m not saying tax payers are at fault for not protesting hard enough. What I am saying is that Direct Action is required to force the hands of people who have the authority make the direly needed changes.

I’m not interested in quibbling about how the homeless population grew so large unless it is explicitly for the purposes of calculating reparations and identifying perpetrators.

Make all the noise you want, complaining about people peeing is ineffective. I see trust fund brats pissing in public regularly and have never seen this volume of outrage directed at this population of people. More public bathrooms is the solution to that particular problem.

for me, I don't want it to write only when there are changes. I want it to error out if I try to quit without saving changes so I go and figure out if I changed something by accident before I save it and I want it to write specifically when I tell it to write. This cuts down on so many problems, at least in my use cases.
