Everyone always thinks their non-compete is good for you and the industry, don't worry about it. They are all bs. I once had a job offer at a startup in seattle where the noncompete said something along the lines of you can't ever say anything about bill gates, who was one of the investors (it seemed extremely broad). I said fuck that, you aren't going to prevent me from making my own political comments about him, whatever they are. I think they wanted to limit people from saying things about his personal family or something. Anyway, I wasted some money on my own lawyer who negotiated a much stricter thing with them. Just say no to these.
First line of FAQ says Image Creator is Dall-E.

For the outputs, go to each one's community showcase page, or their respective discords, or their subreddits which amount to image post feeds.

You'll find, roughly, Dall-E images feel clunky, Stable Diffusion are differentiated, and Midjourney are simultaneously aesthetic and yet recognizably the same.

- If you want a sketch of a thing you're thinking of, go with Dall-E.

- If you want to mess around, and play with other people's models, Stable Diffusion.

- If you want to role play being good at DeviantArt, MidJourney.

Quite often, actual artist workflows use two of the three, for instance, start in MidJourney, then outpaint with Dall-E, or start with Dall-E, then img2img with SD.
Why are antennas popping up over the Salt Lake City foothills?
SLC's recreational trails manager says it might be related to cryptocurrency. This sounds like the Helium crypto network, which is an IoT network offering node owners payment in cryptocurrency, which has plummeted in value ($55.22 in Nov 2021, $1.73 today).
Not really.

I've family members who are tradesmen, this issue has been coming down the pipe forever.

What's killed em is apprentice wages haven't kept up with inflation for fucking years, and as for the treatment of apprentices and helpers? Garbage.

Basically decades of absolute pisstaking and abuse of newcomers ("hey, everyone goes through it, its fine!") has predictably resulted in a shortage of newcomers.

Are they willing to up the apprentice (and journeyman...) wages? Fuck off, of course not.

Almost every tradie ends up telling their kids to go to college and whatever the fuck they do, stay out of the trades.
Is it banned? Isn't this part of how FreeConferenceCall works with IIRC dial in numbers on a little LEC somewhere in Iowa?
D has been around for 21 years. It has had a compiler in the gcc project (gdc) for four years. It debugs easily enough under gdb. Several editors support D syntax (including geany and vscode). It has quite a few libraries (though its interoperability with C libraries has muted native D library development somewhat), centralized at https://code.dlang.org/

Are there specific parts of the ecosystem you worry about not being mature?

As for it being a bit esoteric, yes, it's not a very widely known language, though I'm not sure why. I fell in love with it in 2018, and it has thoroughly spoiled me for writing C.
> His company pushes hard to get jobs finished fast, causing people to cut safety corners

Man, this bothers me in software, where physical human safety isn't even on the line. I can't even imagine dealing with that when somebody could actually die.
Sometimes there are complications after being vaccinated too. That does not mean that all adverse effects you experience at any point later in life is the cause of it. Long term debilitating diseases happen to people very single day, and since there is quite a high percent chance of a person catching corona in that day as well, you end up with thousands of "unexplained long covid" which are, in reality, just two bads of different coins
> I'm comparing specifically against a monolith where you have an "uber executable doing literally everything".

I doubt that anyone here is advocating for a system that it literally everything in one OS process. I bet even you would say that a process with a RDMBS connection is a monolith, even though it doesn't fit your definition.

As for modules - they can run as a separate process on the same machine, to isolate security critical elements.

Conversely, I doubt that any reasonable microservices architecture has every instance of a microservice in its own subnet with a firewall and strict network access permissions... including one off generated API keys.

Most, at best, use a static API key per microsoervice inside one large "secure" network... which leads me back to my point - they're not exactly easier to secure. Methods may differ a little bit, but the techniques are the same.

Then your example of a buffer overflow is going to be as bad for microservices, as for monolith.

Unless you're going to invest in a variety of systems, programming languages and OSes in your stack - your one buffer overflow, turns into buffer overflow on every other microservice... making your claim of "easier to isolate" a little bit delusional. (Classic example of Log4J bug, where monolith or microservices - once you're breached "game over")
Several years back, a company in China got in trouble for selling US controlled technology to Iran. The company ended up getting sanctioned. It was not until they changed the board, CEO, and other offices and paid a bunch of fees, that the company was able to operate freely again. The sanctions got so bad, that the company could not repair their toilets anymore. I believe it was Xiaomi.

Edit: Not Xiaomi, it was ZTE. https://www.networkworld.com/article/2160515/cisco-said-to-c...

This is a good point. If the cores in the non-stacked CCD miss in local L3, it's still quicker to ask the stacked CCD instead of going to RAM. But GP's question is valid, how do you prefer the non-stacked CCD for certain high-intensity tasks without hardcoding their names/IDs?
Surely the correct qualification for that kind of research would be some kind of science background.
Here is one example: https://colab.research.google.com/github/dcmoura/spyql/blob/... Note: DuckDB is not present in this comparison, because it does not support JSON processing (only CSV and Parquet). ClickHouse supports everything.

Here is another example: https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/6a2c38d4-3a22-41... - startup times for serverless engines. Note: DuckDB is not present in this comparison, I'm not sure why.

Both comparisons are independent.

I know a few cases when clickhouse-local is worse than DuckDB:

- it does not use the embedded metadata to filter while processing Parquet files;

- the syntax for accessing the files in s3 is clunkier in clickhouse-local;

- finally, there is no Python module and integration with dataframes.

I know many cases when clickhouse-local is better than DuckDB. Performance is mostly better, because ClickHouse is more advanced in the query engine. DuckDB mostly keeping up, but sometimes is already ahead, in some scenarios. Query language, data types support, feature completeness, stability and testing - much better in ClickHouse.

I did not make uncharitable comments about DuckDB. We have recently met with Hannes Mühleisen and the team from DuckDB labs, and I have very good impression about the technology and the team. I see them as our friends. I'm also enthusiastic about every data processing technologies.
> are no meaningful raises

Doesn't the career path in the trades lead to owning your own business? Obviously, not for everyone. But the scope for advancement and riches is certainly there.
Lol, the tradesman isn't taking that home.

Neither is the apprentice that probably is doing half the work.
Yeah - Musk says a lot of idiotic things, but even with that I maintain that these kinds of statements is not what drove Tesla (crazy) valuation.
My current client had a non-compete in their contract specifying I would not be allowed to work for one of their customers, or something like that. This client is one of the big four accountancy firms; their customers can really include everyone, and I have no way to tell who is or isn't their customer.

And my work doesn't even include any contact with their customers! What they really wanted was that I wouldn't do for, or even share with, the other big accountancy firms what I was going to do for them, because it's something unusual that's their idea and they think it gives them an advantage. That's completely fine of course. The original reading was ridiculous.

I don't think they changed it in the contract, but they did explain it by email.
The mentions of Tesla jumped out at me. It was kind of jarring, since the brand doesn't have the cachet it did only a few months ago. I wonder if they were re-shooting the video today if they'd still mention it.
I don’t see why I should ever have stopped pirating. Advertisements are exploitation. They waste time and distract, as well as deceive. On top of that, companies track your usage, data & location, then go on to sell your info to anyone.

You never truly ‘have’ most paid media either, it can just be deleted out from under you, which I find extremely rude and contrary to ideas of ownership and archival.

I never stopped pirating and never will. Most things I want aren’t available to stream, and I’m not waiting years for some bastard streaming company to ingest the media so I can pay for the privilege of watching it in my Plato-cave.
Could you elaborate? I do not want to assume your position and put words in your mouth.
You shouldn't be telling this to tier-1 support, you should be reporting it through a contact that's labeled as specifically being for reporting security issues affecting Google login, ie https://bughunters.google.com/ . This is a significant security vulnerability because the existence of this TV implies the existence of an API somewhere which the TV has used, which can create revocation-resistant keys.

(I ran into a similar issue with the Oculus/Meta Quest 2 and Facebook login tokens. I reported it as a vulnerability in the Facebook account system and it was fixed eventually.)
Those microwave towers are transmitting some number of milliwatts of power though, with super high gain antennas.

Not kilowatts.
I disagree (but also, IANAL). They use the private images to train their models. Means the image is part of a data set, and this is subject to licensing. The image is however part of your private collection, so the license, besides the wording in the privacy page, is sketchy at best. Also, it will collide with GDPR and CCPA rules on data processing.
Data models are subject to licensing too, and using images without proper licenses “poisons the well”.
I have a similar problem with BattleBots. I want to pay for it, but they don't want to sell it to me online I believe because they sold the exclusive rights to a cable channel in Canada.

So it's not just that they don't accept credit cards from certain places, they won't sell to you depending of where you are too.
It's worth noting that copyright doesn't protect code in the instance that the function cannot be divorced from the creative expression.

Comments and all would almost certainly be an infringement, as they are completely expressive and non-functional.

But you'll find that if you strip out those comments, it's possible that it would fail the test of the idea being separable from the expression [1].

>”we’re thinking, reasoning creatures who are not slaves to our impulses.”

I’m not so sure about that.

We haven’t evolved past our animal instincts and it seems like our conscious mind is only an additional layer on top of the “reptilian brain” - for lack of a better term. It has not replaced our base urges and our intrinsic motivational systems.

We are only sometimes able to shut down our unconscious urges. Even so, we may only be able to do that temporarily, as people fall off the wagon all the time. In fact going “cold turkey” seems like one of the most counterproductive things someone can do.

I feel like much of our ability to succeed via “mind over matter” has to do with our biochemistry rather than rational thoughts. Our motivational systems are ultimately controlled by neurochemistry. So there seems to be a lot more to this than just conscious mindset.
I would love to see their test using a regular Android device, not a high end iPhone.

Android has like 90%? worldwide market share and most phones are way underpowered vs even old iPhones. Picking a solution that only works well for SV users is a terrible decision.
I'm curious, has your employer tried paying more? There are a fair few desk jobs that pay $25-30/hr, and it's entirely possible that people are trading job stability for something that isn't so physically demanding.
You can with a third party library, Sorbet. It's not the nicest experience due to not being native but it works much better than you'd expect without being native.
Probably not. Maybe you just really like people, but in a lot of trades, the people you meet are grumpy. They don't want to meet you; they just want their problem solved. Either they're building a new thing (and trying to meet an aggressive schedule... and are probably behind by the time they bring in the plumbers) or repairing an old thing (and dealing with people who are cranky that the thing failed).

It's probably not as bad as tech support, where you can guarantee that the person on the other end of the phone is angry. But it's probably at least as bad as retail, and nobody ever says "I love meeting people so I'll go handle cash from strangers".

I know that there are extroverts in the world who get a charge out of meeting new people every day. And there's a big bonus to not sitting in a chair in front of a screen, especially if you're one of those. But I've got a feeling you're a lot happier with coding-level salaries and meeting strangers after you clock out.
Couldn't Twilio also close and cease providing service to any accounts that initiate chargebacks?

That's not high enough to put you above bad weather (airliners fly higher, and they divert around storms.) Bad weather is bad news for airships and historically destroyed about as many as hydrogen fires. You'd need to bring your airships down into hangers when the weather got bad.

Also, wouldn't the graphene aerogel be filled with air and be heavier than air? Aerogel doesn't just float away. Unless you mean for these to be vacuum airships, but those seem very far fetched.

My concern is this could probably be a major liability. Strapping all your employees to electric roller skates that make them move faster seems like it could be a recipe for disaster if someone takes a spill at high speed.

Here's my personal story very much like your wife's: https://jondouglas.dev/long-covid/

I have no idea where this narrative of munchausen by internet is coming from. This is a novel virus that we know very little about. I do not choose to suffer nor do I expect any pity. But I sure as hell will do everything in my power to overcome it.

Surely the market should understand that equally well.
Is graphene aerogel lighter than air? I thought it _was_ mostly air, which is why its so light.
That part is relatively easy to answer. When there are only enough tradespeople to maintain 10% of homes, the top 10% of income earners will get their services, and the top 10% will spend a majority of their wealth on home maintenance. It's already happening in areas with a lot of rich people and few tradespeople - it costs me $1000 to run a camera down my sewer line, $4K to roto-root it, about $20-30K to fix a collapsed pipe. The top-10% has been doing fine in terms of income, but now that it's so un-economical to go into a field other than tech or finance, they're going to have to spend a lot of that on essential services.
You can’t use a Proc or Method value directly to call a method with the Ruby method invocation syntax! In Python and JavaScript and Scheme and OCaml you can! This is the whole idea behind “first-class.” Whether “everything is an object” or not is irrelevant.
I'm being honest here, I never heard of substack either.
Is this speculation? The way that this and the parent comment read, it sounds like you have information that I’m not finding on the website.
Well, I mean, with enough work you can make a key/value store (what browsers have) sort of act like a relational store, but the results aren't necessarily going to be awesome.

You could brute force it and just compile SQLite to WASM, maybe, like you say? need to persist that data into IndexedDB's key/data store somehow which is probably not going to be totally awesome.

There are polyfill solutions like JSStore that let you treat IndexedDB like a SQL database which would probably make more sense.

That's why it would be nice (for some use cases) if SQLite was baked into browsers themselves and exposed to Javascript. We had that at one point with WebSQL, and I think Firefox ships with a non-exposed dependency on SQLite for bookmark storage anyway, so it's not too unreasonable.
There's two free games this week, so https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games would be even better. Not sure why the submitter only mentioned one of them.
They could, but customers could then file complaints with the FTC and their state’s attorney general for the fraud Twilio is enabling.

I strongly encourage Twilio customers to pursue this route if Twilio is charging them for fraudulent charges.

Hello, child of construction worker here!

>Carpenters and Plumbers (electricians, mechanics, etc) are _not_ unskilled

Is a load of shit. At least in the USA, you can have one person (typically business owner) get licensed in the trade and then lease out that license for his unskilled immigrant labor force. He can run his own business and his "apprentices" are taught enough to do the work. This is the vast majority of construction. You got union projects which are a whole different ball game but union jobs do not represent the vast majority of construction in the USA.

>A path for immigrants to legally work in those fields would likely push down wages, but it would also reduce the cost of those services!

It doesn't reduce the cost of shit because real estate is a racket. It's not a free market economy driven by community college level econ courses. In any metropolitan downtown area that you visit most of the buildings are owned by a handful of firms. Real estate properties are increasingly managed by (you guessed it) management firms that are part of publicly traded corporations (REITs). These guys extend way beyond any downtown area and are the majority of rented out properties in cities and adjacent suburbs.

Construction is a ghetto that is flooded by illegal immigrant workers. Business owners are complicit in the practice of hiring said workers to squeeze out margins. As long as liability can be passed down to someone holding some kind of license, that's all that matters.

If you actually want to enter a successful trade in construction become an elevator engineer. You are 100% union and obscure and niche enough with significant safety risks that nobody is able to undercut you because there's a LOT of regulation in place to make sure people don't get stuck and die in elevators.

1. I think the end-game here is salary-parity, no? If Practice A learns that Practice B is taking their employees for a marginal salary difference, that forces Practice A to improve their compensation package.

But I don't think I fully understand this example. Why does it cost $250k to hire an MD? Why does Practice B not need to pay this cost, is it because they can skip the vetting process since A has already performed it?

2. If it's an acui-hire, the only way it can be successful (in real terms, not just fake "retention" terms) is if the acquired team is consenting to the acquisition and partnership. If the acquirer can't create a deal (involving stock options, work lifestyle guarantees, whatever) that's successful in the eyes of their prospective future employees, non-competes and non-poaches simply delay the inevitable. This is to the detriment of "we the people", because we want good people to be productively working on important things.

In my not incredibly informed opinion, NCs for acquihires smell lazy and inefficient, because they optimize for the wrong metrics (employee retention vs value creation + satisfaction). If there's uncertainty about the long-term success of the merger, it can be factored into the acquisition price.

To me, this implies that outlawing NCs would lead to fewer acquihires, on the margin. This seems like it would probably be a good thing.

3. I think there's some "basement" of trade secrets that we just need to accept are going to spread around. As a company, you have to understand that this bottom 20% of ideas are going to osmosis their way out with every departing employee, and there's nothing you can do about it other than work to retain employees and innovate new ideas.

Similarly to the acquihire issue, NCs simply delay the inevitable here, and don't seem to provide much benefit "we the people" (or protection to "we the entrepreneurs").
