We could never have a fruitful conversation if all you were trying to do was trash talk some people. I won't engage you there. Once you abandon the idea that you need to tear other people down to make your point then you'll find our conversation will improve instantly.
I don’t think that hashtags are a search only feature. In the posts themselves, the hashtags are clickable to view other tweets. I don’t think that qualifies as a search.
otoh, I worked with a guy who was so mock heavy that he actually wrote real mocks for hash table for each test.

I worked with another guy who mocked out so much external behavior that he couldn't figure out why his stuff never worked, not doing the necessary work to ensure that his expectations of external behavior were actually still met ( if you're going to mock out external behavior, you need to add in tests that ensures your expectations are valid).

There is a place for Mocks, but I have found the other varieties of test doubles to more useful...

TFA, to me, touches about something I've wondered about a very long time ago: what are the implications of CPU and storage growing at much faster rates than human population?

Back in the 486 days you wouldn't be keeping, in RAM, data about every single human on earth (let's take "every single human on earth" as the maximum number of humans we'll offer our services to with on our hypothetical server). Nowadays keeping in RAM, say, the GPS coordinates of every single human on earth (if we had a mean to fetch the data) is doable. On my desktop. In RAM.

I still don't know what the implications are.

But I can keep the coordinates of every single humans on earth in my desktop's RAM.

Let that sink in.

P.S: no need to nitpick if it's actually doable on my desktop today. That's not the point. If it's not doable today, it'll be doable tomorrow.

Ugh, artificial deadlines are the worst. They hurt morale, productivity, and quality.
Have you had much to do with young graduates lately? We already have that generation without AI being the cause.
My Sigma FP isn’t using a deep learning model to enhance the image like an iPhone is (in iPhones case, deep field has added faces to photos, and all sort of other crazy stuff.)

It’s dishonest to try compare color profiles with AI image manipulation .
This is why ethical research requires human subject approval.
You always feel weightless before hitting the ground. We are at the start of a process, and probably we will witness how things become worse in not so many years. And probably it will keep getting worse for the foreseeable future.

This event in particular may have been an outlier, but the trend goes in this direction, and there are some extremes events that we may not be able to get through safely.
No, I am referring to social norms, the way I define them in the piece (which is quite standard).
I love this comment. It dodges the point so well.
Yeah I wonder on what grounds the police can start unplugging shit in your house. This also happened in the Adrian Schoolcraft case - when the police burst into his house to take him in he was recording audio on one device which they found, unplugged and destroyed ... but they failed to find the second device (which is how we know). It's kinda wild how if the police might have a grudge against you, you'll have to setup multiple recording devices in case they break in and do some illegal shit.

There's a reason there's a song called "Fuck the police" and none called "Fuck the ambulance service" or "Fuck the firemen"
You absolutely need a technical co founder, and many/most serious VCs will ignore you if you don’t have one.

The fact that you don’t need one with only a few months of programming experience will be a negative signal to investors and potentially even employees.

I’m not saying I agree with that sentiment but you will face it.

Michael Siebel of Ycombinator has many videos where he mentions this topic, and how lack of a technical cofounder is one of the #1 mistakes for early startups.
Catholic orthodoxy is like "European right-wing" on the US political scale: i.e. not very. Catholic Church accumulated a significant amount of tradition and writings on top of the scriptures, so its take on the Bible itself is kind of like what C++20 standard is to K&R C. I mean, the Church is old; there are turning events in western history triggered by and named after disputes about the Church's adherence to the scriptures.
I know a story of a person who submitted a Radar ticket for an engineer to go get a haircut.

I couldnt disagree more. In terms of breadth of coverage all the woke stuff get ways more coverage and interest. I don't how any objective person could say otherwise.
Probably the re-boot of The Blues Brothers. Even ChatGPT suggested that :)

>What movie is where police vehicles are dispatched and they all crash for seemingly no reason on the way to a scene

The movie you are describing sounds like "The Blues Brothers". In the film, Jake and Elwood Blues embark on a mission to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised from foreclosure. In the course of their journey, they lead the police on a high-speed car chase through the streets of Chicago, causing numerous police vehicles to crash. Is this the movie you were thinking of?
Yes, it's an Xorg change which will get incorporated downstream into Xwayland.
I don’t know what you meant by messing with a RAW image. At that point it’s baked, and the only that would change is the algorithms that handle the raw file, but everything this article is referring to is already done. Raw camera sensors in phones are terrible and extremely noisy because there are few photons actually making it inside - what’s largely improved over time is the processing of these files. Every company that ships a phone post processes the images otherwise they’d be unusable. I also guarantee that while this make quite things where one manufacturer is worse than another in a specific situation, there will be situations where the opposite is true as well.

I wouldn’t call this “manipulation” however. It suggests some nefarious deed when instead it’s just about balancing color, skin tone, denoising, etc.

Sure, totally agree that not all management is good management, but it does exist for a reason (and often that reason will always be unappreciated by those being managed).
In undergrad I had a bonus GIS lab assignment to complete the task using the prof’s instructions from the 80s.. maybe 90s? (a lot of FORTRAN) and then complete it again using modern GIS software. Such an eye opener. The thing that stuck out the most to me was how many hoops we jumped through to batch the job and commit the incremental results to disk because, bahahahha, fitting even 1% of it in RAM was out of the question.

That was definitely the reason I got an iPad. I looked but haven't found a tablet that has the same build quality, performance and battery life. Too bad the software is so locked down!
In college, I used to take formal portraits of friends, including developing and printing with chemicals in a darkroom, old school. My rule of thumb was we'd be lucky to get one good shot out of a roll of 36, even with careful choice of pose, costume, location, background, lighting, and generally knowing what I was doing.

My name is Michael Qin and I am graduating from the Software Engineering program at the University of Waterloo in April this year (2023), seeking a full time position starting in around June or later.

I have six internships of experience ranging from growth stage companies to Amazon, mostly doing backend development but also some infra and data work.

I'm eager to work hard, tackle challenging problems, and learn a lot. I'm looking for positions mainly in NYC or SF but open to any locations or remote. Please reach out to me by email!
I would have assumed form factor...
Same here. Worked on a lazy list in js for mobile. The component had a nasty array lookup every scroll event. I asked chatgpt if it could optimize the lookup algorithm. I suggested me to implement a binary search solution including the code itself. It worked immediately. I would have taken me probably a day to come up with something similar.
I also asked chatgpt to minimize my code including all method names , variables etc. Unfortunately the output of chatgpt is limited to x characters. 200kb of text isnt possible. But it is able to minimize. You can even ask to uglify the code by using animal names or street names in London.

Safest != easiest, you can't necessarily have both, at least not without decent expense.

"Safety" from a "privacy perspective" depends on your threat model, and how you feel about cloud storage. There are obviously options which don't use the cloud, which can range from cameras storing on local microSD cards, to cameras that feed to a local Linux box running ZoneMinder.

The "easiest" way would be the "camera with microSD storage" option, with options ranging from the likes of Dufy and Waze, to Reolink and others.

Aside from running your own "NVR" type box locally (or remotely/colo), if you're not happy with cloud providings from the likes of Eufy, Ring (owned by Amazon), or Nest (owned by Alphabet), a number of cameras support Apple's HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) -- which just pushes video through an Apple HomeKit hub (Apple TV, HomePod, etc.) rather than a third party cloud provider.

Your privacy goals may differ from others -- whether it depends on who the cloud storage is with, or no cloud storage at all, whether you want wireless or hard-wired cameras, and whether you're concerned about any local storage potentially being removed from the property.

You'd need to give more information on what you're looking for, for folk to advise -- alternatively, there are more than enough sites and blogs with comparisons and write-ups of home surveillance offerings.
See, the names Neal Cassady and Ken Kesey don't mean anything to me. I enjoyed the writing, but I think it was a story for people who knew the people involved. I honestly spent much of the time trying to decide if it was fiction or biography.

I do have On The Road on my list, I figure I'll give it a try. Also figured I should try Bonfire of the Vanities. Especially once I finish building the new vanity for the bathroom remodel.
I don't know. I just listened to some it examples on the web and the cleanish sounds still don't match the sound of a real amp to my ears. Although if was in a cover band, I'd definitely use one since it can cover so many different sounds.
Same here. NM worked flawlessly on my Sway setup, which is not i3, but Sway is very similar to i3 anyways.
> As a worker, my focus is on generating value. Either I produce revenue or reduce risk and liability. For managers, this is a distant secondary concern, they are worried of what their boss might think and how they will appear in the management team and what the risk to them (not the company) would be if their reports fail or decide to leave.

Honestly that description of a manager’s motivation (how they are seen by others who control their fate) is one that many engineers also adopt. In my experience, managers are actually focused on what you described for a worker (ensure the team generates value via revenue or reduced risk), while most engineers are typically focused on the quality of their craft.
Parents control if they get a phone till 18. Generally the more upper class the parent I know, the later they give their kids access.

Steve Bannon, the old Trump goon, I forget his actual position, had talked about the growth of the "administrative state" when referring to government.

I don't agree with his politics over all, but on this front I do and see similar trends in other institutions, the education system being one of the most obvious.

We see the growth of the "administrator class/caste" in education at the cost of rising tuition while seeing no improvement in student/teacher ratios, etc. At the same time teachers who rightly spend their time doing their job, which is teaching, are often in a place where they then have to fight the shit rolling downhill from the expanded administrative caste. They could fight the administrator class, but the administrators do this all day every day as their actual job, it's fun to them. The teacher's actual job is teaching, the time and energy needed to fight these battles mean the administrator class wins.

I think this dynamic plays out at our tech companies with the expansion of various non-product roles like HR that impose more trainings or "re-education"/box-checking. Or ERGs, employee resource groups for every different employee because our current times are ones of sensitivities. Or the new DEI orgs, agree or disagree, they didn't exist a decade or two ago but are now prevalent in all spaces and DEI consultants are one of the most widely growing positions inside Fortune 500.

I think these things will continue to compound.

> It's essentially a cop out to not have to think about ownership and lifetime

Not a cop out. Something very much like Rc<> is needed whenever an object's lifecycle might be independently extended by multiple referencing "owners", none of which is subsumed by the others. That's a matter of broad high-level design that can't generally be avoided, least of all in a multi-threaded context (as shown by the use of Arc<>).
Well said. Thanks for sharing this.

A lot of people would. A lot of people like the idea that everyone should be able to make a free choice without regulation. No doubt my point of view is contentious and many people don't like it...not surprised.

That's true of society among many issues. Some people also disagree with disincentives on smoking such as mandatory labels on cigarette packages (which we have in my country at least).

Most societies control all sorts of things that are bad for the majority such as murder, guns, cocaine, switchblades, assault weapons, etc. I believe social media and AI should be on that list also. I get that you don't agree with that and I respect that.
United States, South Korea to partner on advanced air mobility development
Ecstasy uses % for modulo, and /% for divrem (division and remainder). So "a = b % c" for calculating the modulo, but "(a, r) = b /% c" to get the divisor and remainder.
On a scale where 1 is important and 12 is not so important:
1 to 10: sales, marketing and profitability
11; scalability (tech and org)
12: future roadmap

Then the other stuff, but that is not so important.
I’m honestly just a huge skeptic about indoor CO2 levels. OSHA says 5000 ppm is a safe upper limit, and nuclear submarines operate at pretty high levels too. I strongly suspect this is just one of those weird social media health crazes.
Can someone tell me about the person dressed in full camo gear and sporting an assault rifle during the raid? Do police departments outsource some of their work to third party contractors for raids like this? Is this person part of some local militia?

No child left behind and similar punishes schools that don’t get their lowest students up to a certain test score. It does not mandate or encourage or anything else advanced classes. So when a budget cut happens, guess where the cut happens?
If you are using the commercial version of Qt, then probably yes. The license is rather expensive, and intended for companies who use it to make commercial software. And when you are doing that, hiring a lawyer to make sure all your licensing is right is a good idea, and not just for Qt.

If you are using the open source version of Qt, you just have to understand the GPL and LGPL licenses, which is a must anyways if you are working in the software industry. But if your livehood depends on your understanding of software licenses, hiring a lawyer may be a good idea anyway.

You're awesome, your feedback actually matched the sentiment almost EXACTLY of someone else on the YCombinator subreddit where I posted this.

I believe I will heed both of your advices. I wish I did not tell this guy that I will get back to him, he is awesome. Hopefully if he's truly interested he will come on board!

Thank you again.
If I'm writing unit tests for #some_method, I'll mock anything that method calls outside of that method (so I can check how that method will respond to error conditions from calling those other methods).

Unit tests != Integration tests, and the two must both exist otherwise I'll run into that situation where my unit tests work but the software doesn't.

Yeah, no kidding. "Phobic" means a fear or aversion to something. Showing a picture of islam's founder is the opposite of islamaphobic.
The main argument of this article is:

1. ChatGPT gets tripped up in some edge conditions.

2. Search engines provide some interesting features that ChatGPT doesn't.

These are both bad assumptions looking forward:

1. It's evident that ChatGPT or other chat-based text generation will only improve over time. These kinds of quirky edge cases will _always_ exist, but will be harder and harder to contrive.

2. These sorts of features, categorization, images, etc can be discovered via conversation. And there's no reason to think these features are exclusive to a search product. Code snippets embeds are already built into ChatGPT, it's not hard to imagine other useful embeds.

Finally, I'd ask the author to think of it this way:

As more text is generated, and those pages end up at the top of search results, the quality of the search results approaches that of a text generation model anyway. Search will soon be the unnecessary middleman.
I expect the term "phobic" to revert to its original meaning over the next 40 years, especially if we continue to call out the hypocrisy in its usage.

That’s a bit harsh. Early Google didn’t really require any special skills or knowledge on the user’s part. Current day Google requires hacks and workarounds to avoid both SEO spam and Corporate Google’s attempts to sell you something.
In some cases like phones, it is because Apple supports their phones much longer than any Android phone. My iPhone SE from 2016 just got an update -- that's crazy. That being said, I still dislike many of Apple's practices, but there really isn't a better alternative. (IMO, Phones in general are trash. They should last as long as desktop computers).

This is a good question. I'm sure there is good content unless you are looking for content that is created to pair it with add to earn money. I assume that the adds industry is favouring english content created in more western relations for western or western oriented viewers.
This does not exclude Syrian content per se but makes it harder to support it with adds.

Have you checked blogs, podcast? Other platforms than YouTube?

Would the infrastructure in Syria support creators and consumers of original content?

Have you considered creating something?

Why would they? There is plenty of proof of safety, they just ignore that. They don’t actually have the ability to understand what questions to be asking, what good study design looks like, how to interpret results, what statistics matter, the background of knowledge used to interpret any results, etc. Which is fine because few do, and the best at it are already hired into the right roles. Those are the opinions one should use as a proxy, not because they’re perfect and never make a mistake, but because the ordinary person would be spectacularly worse at it.

Yet they “do research” which means just let confirmation bias run wild completely ungrounded. Let’s say they funded such a study and it came back with “the mainstream” answer which isn’t what they want.. you think they’d change their mind? I had read that flat earthers have tried to do similar things, each time getting the “wrong answer,” so they explain it away incorrectly.

It’s very sad because all of this “destroy institutions, destroy science, destroy XYZ” is rooted in extreme greed for one particular thing (eg less taxes for the Koch brothers) and it ends up taking all of society out with it. It’s very easy to be against something, particularly when you don’t understand it.
