I noticed that Price Hipster had affiliate codes in the URLs. Perhaps that's something you can do to win over the stores? E.g. justify their data feed with affiliate tracking volume.
I don't understand why some companies host their code externally on Github.

For a software company the code repo is the #1 asset.
I agree, I think there isn't nearly enough variety. We need animal befriending posts for more species. How about cows? Or bears?

Ah yes. Let's ignore the reality of the now and dream about this glorious robot future.

Just because you say this is irrelevant doesn't make it so

> every time this happen it has been the person we are looking to hire to bring up the things they want / need, All I have done is passed them to HR or my VP

Me: You, as a manager, and the company you represent have all the power in these negotiations.

You: This is bullshit... I pass this on to managers and the company who have all the power to say yes or no to these requests

Moreover, if a person is already working, and for some reason needs an extended vacation, or an extended sick leave etc. they literally have no power over you and your VP, and your company. It's entirely in your power to deny them that request, or have strings attached to the granting of the request etc.

> nor do I think you can eliminate all bad employers even under the EU level of authoritarianism you can not eliminate them all

The US: employers have almost no responsibility towards their workers. There is no end to cases where employees have no to little protections at all

The EU: even with the worst employer you get your sick pay, your vacation, your overtime pay, ...

You: EU is authoritarian, I'd rather wait for robots

This is why I'm saying that your "me, me, I, me, me, me" makes you completely blind to the world. Not to say anything about how little you know about the world outside the U.S. and your lucky little job.
I'm 58, have type II diabetes, and BMI over 30, which is the criterion for NHS Scotland to offer semaglutide (currently in the formulation Rybelsus, which is a once-a-day tablet rather than an injection).

I've been on Semaglutide for 6 months now. Weight is down from 97kg to 83kg, blood HbA1C is down into pre-diabetes levels. (Also, my knees don't hurt!)

The down side of semaglutide:

1. Continuous low-grade nausea, as in, "am I going to throw up?" levels of stomach upset. Feeling nauseous for six months is No Fun Whatsoever.

2. Appetite suppression: it's like a chemical gastric band. My stomach capacity is way down. It makes family meal planning pretty much impossible: it makes the rare celebratory restaurant meal difficult (I'm limited to either two starter-sized portions or a main portion, and expect to leave some on the plate or feel bloated for 12-18 hours afterwards).

3. Muscle loss, not just fat loss. There's a pandemic surge and the health service here is in crisis so I'm not going to the swimming pool (my main form of exercise -- low joint impact). Consequently I'm not getting enough exercise. I have noticed that on semaglutide you lose weight from all tissues -- not just white adipose, so I'm losing muscle density as well. (New Year's Resolution: once the current COVID peak passes, go back to the pool during off-peak hours.)

Upshot: I'm going to persist for a while longer then when the weight loss slows off I'll talk to my GP about a medication review and maybe reducing the dosage to a maintenance level (in hope of keeping the benefits and reducing the side-effects). I would not recommend this medication to someone who is only a bit overweight -- it's a first-generation GLP-1 agonist, and like H2 antagonists in the 1970s and 1980s there will be a deluge of me-too drugs over the next few years that are cheaper/better/have fewer side-effects. If you can wait, wait.
No that's not best practice. You think only English should be indexed in Google?
> Compare making it freely available to anyone

The original idea of a patent is that it must reveal the "secrets" behind an invention, in return for a "temporary monopoly". It's supposed to help diffusion of technology by publishing trade secrets, not to "incentivise" research.

I think what is actually happening is that patents are made obtuse/opaque containing little meaningful information. They are then used as playing cards in patent licensing deals between big corporations.

There is no longer any hope for patent clerks to do meaningful inspection of patents to determine if they are legitimate. Instead, it's left to lawyers/attorneys to play something out in court.
The first CCD is binned for the SKU's spec, the other is whatever. This has been true for all chiplet Ryzens. Though the effect used to be more extreme, I had for example a 3900X where the second CCD only managed to run at 4.1 GHz under load, compared to ~4.4 GHz on the first CCD (and 4.6 GHz being printed on the box). That's pretty common with those.
The really old ones from the 50s and 60s were magic, and they still made passable ones into the 90s. But there is nothing like that anymore, it simply doesn't exist. I suspect that market is now tinkering with Raspberry Pis?
Gitea and forks exist, Fossil is also a plausible alternative although it seems not everyone likes its workflow. Maybe discovery could be handled simillar to Mastodon through ActivityPub, I think it wouldn't even be too hard to integrate into existing Git code forges.
No way, next thing you'll tell me Lisp isn't actually an antisemetic dogwhistle.
It was 100% random. I'm surprised from a reddit thread that somebody else mentioned this Mati as a counter example as well, so maybe the one I randomly picked was an outlier, or maybe because of the csv "layout" that one stood out more to me and to other people.
My apologies, I didn't mean for you to Nash your teeth :/
What about testing? In my company, before any code goes to production it has to go through hundreds if not thousands of unit tests. This can't be done on a dev laptop (see XKCD #303)
Scientists Discover Entirely New Kind of Quantum Entanglement in Breakthrough
I've still got one of the last (NeoPDP) plasma displays. While it uses a bit more energy than OLED it's not 'a few hundred watts', but tens of watts. Also, since TV's have become cheaper a new TV will probably be a bigger one which uses more energy so there's less energy saving. Manufacturing a new TV will be a bigger energy sink than just using the old one a bit longer.
This is my experience with most people coming from FAANG in general. Started using it as a signal for people to avoid hiring instead of as a good signal.
SFTP is included in all distributions of OpenSSH, and the procedure to restrict it to chrooted file transfer without shell access is well-known.

It is:

Match Group sftponly
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp
AllowTcpForwarding no

(Open)rsync is not included in OpenSSH, and it likely never will be.

There may be multiple approaches to implement the above configuration with either the older GPL or newer BSD implementation of rsync, and the capabilities between the two variants will differ, adding further complexity.

The established best practice is the above configuration, for these reasons.
I checked a few more at random:

* Bill Jacklin

* Hiroshi Sugomoto

* Josef Albers

* David Teniers the Younger

None of them are black.

Edit: As eyko pointed out below, these are not in the 'n' category. So I searched for people in that category, and all the ones I checked turned out to have been black (other than Mati Klarwein).
The employer was already way ahead of you. The original non-compete included a clause that you had 24 hours to inform the previous employer if you took another job at any company that could be seen as competing within a year of leaving. It's not a huge market, and they would have found out if we just didn't tell them. That would have probably gone even worse for us. Our best asset, though I guess not good enough, was that we hadn't been deceitful at all. The only other real choice we had was for my spouse to either not work for a year, or start a completely different career (giving up 30 years of experience in the field).

Thankfully now though, it's mostly all behind us. My spouse is in a new job in a company that the first employer gave the ok to, and in two more months a year has gone by, and they have no more hold over us at all.

The current employer doesn't actually know anything about the situations, as when my spouse took the job the lack of work for the previous three months was explained as, "I was unhappy at the previous job, and I took some time off and helped my aging parents get settled into a retirement home", which was all true. The new employer also wanted a non-compete signed and was a little confused why we pushed back so hard on it. They'd never seen anybody ask for changes in it. They agreed to some changes, but in the end really didn't want to make one that was compliant with state law. We settled for a written statement from their corporate council to our lawyer that said they understood it did not comply and was likely unenforceable.
> It's not clear that training violates copyright

What is perfectly clear are two things:

1. Github Copilot will sometimes produce non-trivial inputs it was trained on as outputs

2. Those outputs will not conform to the license

That is, in my mind, a clear violation. This could easily be solved by making training (or transformation or whatever) explicit in the license.

Edit: I single out Github copilot because such examples were found. I'm not sure you can find such examples for things such as Stable Diffusion or DALL-E, but the operating principle is the same.
I had a newly-created GitHub account banned when I uploaded a Scrabble word list to it as a Gist. Turns out it included various slur words and their systems picked this up automatically.

Although they didn't immediately specify the reason for the ban, to their credit the GitHub support person did explain what had happened when I appealed and the ban was lifted.

Thanks. I never really used Kindle Speech on my 3G Kindle, but was curious why it was suddenly gone in later versions.
You nailed it; that was my oversight. Love the site!
Got it, tks!
This makes a ton of sense and has shattered my dream of an intergalactic ansible.
Or that using the ok finger gesture briefly was career ending because 4chan openly declared a psyop to see if they could bait social media into declaring it a white supremacist symbol. Worked like a charm and hysteria abounded for a couple of months before the next hysteria was birthed and that one quickly forgotten. Unfortunately, some people who don't keep up with the day-to-day changes in what's considered unacceptable communication, got labeled as racist for making the ok sign even though there was no ill intent or even knowledge that anyone now considered it a taboo gesture.
He’s swung pretty hard for the fences on some big claims and that was far from one of the controversial ones

A friend was training to be a life coach and I was his guinea pig. I imagine we all like to talk about ourselves so there was definitely a feel good factor. I guess the real test of life coaching is did it help you get somewhere you wouldn't have got to anyway? On that note, I think I would want to be coached by someone who had been where I want to go. Otherwise, just google the questions life coaches ask and save yourself some money.

> Maybe switch to carpentry or farming?

I would only advise something like that if you don't have a mortgage (or dependents?) and you have a several years worth of living expenses saved, in addition to any required investment (property, equipment). Also be prepared for hard work. It is very rewarding though; driving by some building you built, with people living or working in it. Same with feeding people.

> Maybe try to make a small startup?

Try to find a market niche and exploit it, regardless of what market it is in. But you realize you may end up managing people. Trying to manage people within a large corporation sounds like a nightmare to me, given the current climate. But in your own business it may be quite rewarding. It is for me.
They now have an experimental flag that allows some pages to be SSR and others SSG. So this is now possible
I like Hershey chocolate. The ever-so-slight sour note is distinctive.
Given the author’s interest in developer tools, I wonder whether that makes him more or less patient when it comes to trying to entirely new tools and ecosystem.

Do tools suck because the makers don’t care or is the domain itself, in this case iOS development, so complex that the tools can’t keep up? Tools here being Xcode, swift, docs and their error messages.
> Is it wise to simply keep private repositories away from GitHub at this point?

This sounds like the equivalent of "Use MacOS because most viruses target Windows". Which some people do, and yes it probably lowers your risk, but there are ways to use Windows (and Github) securely.

If you're really paranoid about your source code, you should probably self-host your own instance of Github/Gitlab/etc (and lock it down through VPNs, IP white lists, etc) rather than using their cloud service.

This approach also gives you first hand access to logs that would expose internal bad actors, if that's included in your threat model.
> I am not as outraged if that is the main use case.

Boy, I wish I could be this generous.

No matter how noble the intended use is, they're taking someone's work and using it without explicit permission in a very sneaky way. And it's opt out

Nope. Sorry, I can't find a way to look past that.
What's your definition of fitness in this case?

Qt? Definitely. But I have also seen very great gtk apps. Electron apps always feel “non-native” and laggish. Honestly, try out the telegram qt app, it is lightning fast compared to any electron app.
I don’t understand all the blame that k8s get as well. Using the defaults, it can be as simple as you’ve made it; a reverse proxy load balancing multiple instances of a containerized application.

I suspect this ends up being impractical, due to helping the bad actors too much.

I think moderation being so inconsistent/unclear is mostly because moderation is difficult.
I can imagine that porn with animals (even cartoons) might be disgusting to some people. There is a reason why bestiality is quite high in the list of social taboos.
Maybe, yes.

On further investigation (see reddit) there also seems to be a CSV file with artist names in the repo. Black artists have a string 'n' in some unspecified column. I can't check myself if this might mean something else, eg. if other ethnicities also have this string... but there are some suspicious things going on in a that repo for sure. More than just the parentheses.
The most egregious part is opt out by default, obviously.

That this has become a standard that doesn't shock you should register as an issue itself.
I had in mind environments like Europe, where social interactions are like the beginning of a joke: A Czech, a Dutch, a Greek and a French walk into a bar..
I read through the Reddit thread and they seem to be focused on the letter n being tagged on certain names (they claim is stands for the n word with strong racist meaning.)

Later someone points out that there is another artist who paints mostly darker skin tones who also has the n identifier.

I can, immediately and without effort, see why this might be added. As a way to force representation in output. This is, to me, akin to paint which lets you pick a color (let's go with purple) for skin.

The Rimworld mod cited apparently comes with an "all white, all black, and all yellow" version. The only version mentioned by the angry folks is the white one.

Does anyone know the truth of the matter above?

> Mitchell sounds exactly like Ray Porter.

"Mitchell sounds like Ray Porter" is more accurate. Accent is completely different, so they don't sound exactly alike. My first impression was that Mitchell sounds like a Clay Jenkinson,[1] but more a cross between Jenkinson and a male newscaster I can't place who is probably retired now, but who also narrated documentaries.

> So I think AGI is fine unless you’re explicitly trying to mimic human intelligence.

Humans we will only recognize AGI when it can simulate all our flaws. We won't think the computer is able to see properly until it can observe the same optical illusions that we do (which are visual system flaws).

By general we mean being able to completely relate to *our* experience.

We are very biased even when it comes to say math, focusing on certain aspects and representations, which if are easily digestible for our brain, thus must be sign of intelligence. Huge numbers calculations - not intelligence, we cannot do that. Doing 100 problems way better than we do but doing mistake in 1 that is obvious to us - clearly not intelligence.

If it doesn't have the same framework for survival as we created with our neurochemistry - nope, it should be able to understand it. Even though we cannot wrap our heads around an octopus feelings.

Just looking at our understanding of say chimpanzees, shows how close minded we are regarding intelligence in general.

So basically, I agree with all you said, I'm just very convinced that most people will not assign AGI label to anything which doesn't mimic human perception (along with all of its flaws). I mean, maybe not necessarily mimic it, but at least kind of have a virtual machine knowing what how human would perceive it. Otherwise we'll think it doesn't understand the world.
Hi Matt,

Congrats on making it! I'd never heard of your projects but will give them a serious look now.

How did you go about managing work/side-work/life balance with 4 kids? I really struggle with just 1 and a half.
No one with a little bit of sense of security would do such a thing.

Private/proprietary code base != secret code base, there is a great number of ways how a code base might leak - past employees etc..
They are probably using those to train stable diffusion/dall-e/imagen like model as it's current state of the art AFAIK. As for whether google or apple do it too, unless some employee makes a throwaway account and shares, we don't know. If I had to guess though, I would say google probably does, as well as publicly crawlable images. Apple most likely does too, unless they just bought the data from some other service, because they too have ml powered image capabilities and they couldn't have achieved it without obtaining a sufficiently large dataset first.
And yet it's the minimum we expect from our legal system, I don't understand why we are okay with corporations being exempt from that.
I see what you mean. I don't think it's racist though if you're classifying artists by their style, to classify those that focus on painting black people with that kind of style as such. Because you're classifying the style, not the artists' skin color (and there's logically a correlation between black artists and artists that focus on depicting black people).

You could argue maybe that using the letter "n" could be seen as racist. It's a US centric view however, in other places n would be fine (n for negro in Spanish for example)

For all I know automatic might be super racist, I'm just playing devils advocate, and I like to assume the best of in people.
So it seems the actual reason for the suspension is that Automatic had a mod for the colony-sim game RimWorld that disables certain skin colors from appearing in the game.

If you're not familiar, these sorts of mods are near universally made for racist dogwhistling; they're the "barely passable but not really" version of mods that would straight up whitewash non-white characters. The entire debacle started a couple of years ago iirc with the game Stardew Valley, which has non-randomized unique characters and someone made a mod to iirc whitewash the black characters that the game has (straight up just respriting them to look white).

The mod was pulled from both Steam and Nexus if I recall, and a few weeks later you saw these sorts of "one skin color only" mods appear in games with a heavy focus on randomized character creation (the uploaders of these mods also usually try to say it's not racist by uploading multiple variations such as a mod that disables all white skin colors; this is just flimsy excuses, which becomes apparent when you look at the activity stats for these mods). Modding sites aren't very reliable on taking action on them, so it's the loophole used to still get away with doing racist shit.
>> The door to my house was open, and we were sure no-one would enter.

For example using private bare Git repositories hosted internally at the company with mandatory OpenSSH U2F authentication (requiring a physical key like a Yubikey) would go a long way and requires two minutes to setup. Or a VPN. Pick your poison.

But then you lose convenience.

Slacked picked convenience and it led to the headline: "Slack's private GitHub code repositories stolen over holidays" and the top voted HN comment so far is: "Slack is selectively and deliberately limiting public access (discoverability) to the security breach announcements.".

The question is: was convenience worth it?

There are other tools. There are other ways to host. There are other ways to do CI/CD.

But it's less convenient.

It's a tradeoff.
