I have no idea, but I know compelling or forcing people to do it won't work. Nor will it work to have some arbiter or hierarchical group decide.

I think the answer is to convince and then trust whomever owns it to allocate the excess equitably

The only way we get to whatever the next thing is can only be done through voluntary demonstration of good will and non-violence, by individuals or the state. It's going to take a lot of people taking risks and being vulnerable that normally wouldn't be.
The _presentation_ is impressive, but the forecast is often the raw output from various models, and thus not entirely reliable. For example, I live in a valley where most forecast models smooth over giving more snow/cold than we ever get.
This is VERY exciting: A PEP attacking one of the biggest problems with the CPython implementation: The Global Interpreter Lock. Will Python finally be rid of it after a decade of failed tries?
This couldn’t be a more definitive comparison of what ChatGPT isn’t good at. WolframAlpha was released in 2009 but why isn’t it getting the same sexy accolades and valuation as ChatGPT?
I wish I could get contracting houses on board with the notion that there are many tasks that require 30-50% of a person but greatly increase the quality of the work. I almost convinced some people at the last place but convincing the customers is something else entirely. Code reviews by more expensive staff for instance. Architectural reviews. Security audits.

One engineer makes a mess because there is nobody to push back. Two engineers either fight or achieve full echo chamber. Three balances some power dynamics, but you definitely don't need 3 FTEs. In fact for this project you probably find 3 of your friends' friends to sit together for 4 hours twice a week and slam out some code or designs, in exchange for a little money and some equity. You even get to write off food and beer as a business expense.
I think for most folks, this is akin to paying for everyday expenses with fractions of your stock portfolio.
I don't understand the implication that this must have a chance of passing to merit an article. The behavior alone merits an article. I am glad to be informed of government behavior (regardless of party).
Before the days of cell phones, instagram, tiktok, and one used a phone line to dial-up to the internet... we had to entertain ourselves in creative ways.

One such way was "Hedging the Town".

You get a couple of buddies, ride out to a hedge row in one of their pickups, fill the bed of the pickup to the rails with hedge apples.

You then drive to the rival nearby's town main intersection (in the midwest, there's only usually one major intersection that has a stoplight or 4 way stop) and back up into the middle of it around 1am in the morning.

You then drop the tailgate and floor the gas, spreading hedgeapples in a randomized layout in the intersection. By doing this, you are assisting with biodiversity in the rival town. Unfortunately local residents were not commonly pleased with said efforts to help plant diversity.
BeeLine founder here — just saw this thread. Thanks for the feedback. I've no idea how this issue would have cropped up, since our devs tested on Android and I tested on iOS. I've never seen this before, but I can believe it would happen. Out of curiosity, what's the resolution on your device?
It’s really hard to tell, but to me it looks like the one behind that one managed to stop in time. But only with the tiniest margin. Action further back was much more dramatic, that’s for sure.
I've been using MerrySky for a few days and one thing that I'm missing is how DarkSky presented day-by-day temperature, like the image on the right here: [0]

The plot at the top of MerrySky is harder to quickly grok the min and max temperatures each day of the week. In my opinion, people would prefer to see min/max temperatures and then click to expand to see the hourly temperature and precipitation forecast.

I mean the gain from this would be very low. I would prefer if they concentrate more on extracting valuable informations from emails.
Currently I get about 25 emails daily at work (after setting up about 15 GMail filters). I would pay a few bucks for a program that could read those emails for me and send me an executive summary of them. Cut out all the animated gifs (awful), too long intros, too verbose description and provide me with bullet list of what actually matters.
Solar is a lot cheaper than nuclear though: Everyday the production of solar electricity has to be curtailed when the amount of kWh produced exceeds the demand. Those kWh in excess, by definition cannot be sold and are hence free (as in free beer)

> retip cuttings (cuttings taken from new shoots on recently micropropagated plants)

Had an IRC buddy who was doing mass meristem propagation of banana plants in school who tried some cannabis beside it with similar techniques. Don't think he published anything formal but this sounds similar to what he told me: the "growth spurt" boost of a newly rooted cutting carries over after you split the plant. call it a 'rooting phase' beside the better known 'vegetative' and 'flowering'.

"If you can't give me a price upfront, I probably don't want to do business with you."

I don't understand. They give very clear prices for various use cases and for everything else, there is the "contact us" button. Which is quite common as far as I know.

Yeah morning standups are not great either TBH but more efficient than a manager trying to gatekeep and broker information via 1:1s with each developer.

XML interfaces are common in toolkits, look at Guile for GTK or Qt Quick/QML. One of the ancient X window toolkits was the Athena widget set (baked in most X servers, https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libXaw/libXaw.html). I don't know from XML interface to design Athena GUIs.
I've just come to accept Stephen Wolfram's "air" of superiority to just that. If you parse it away as a vibe, he is a genuinely curious and invested person, that has stuck to their peculiar vision for more than 3 decades, and puts his money where his mouth is. Every design session of the wolfram language is streamed on youtube, which is pretty incredible to watch. I'm sad that the pricing / licensing makes wolfram products so hard if not impossible to shill in a professional setting, because I think it is a genuinely unique product in the sea of overall uninspired and mediocre takes on what computing could be.

The wolfram conference is one of the most fun conferences I attend.

I think the 600$ price point was inflated with the Pi and the Arduino being used. Simply changing some parts for cheaper ones would have allowed to reduce the BOM cost and thus reduce the price. The author mentions this in his post.

Also seemingly not a lot of people paid 600$ for the sign, with a lot going for a lot cheaper than that.
I think you should look for a manager that gives you actionable advice that allows you to have large impact.
Some people think that it is your job to figure out how to have large impact (which I agree) but I have found that there are managers who don't care, don't know or who want to keep you working on projects that will not have impact.
I strongly recommended networking (reaching out to coworkers to learn how much their managers are giving them specific and concrete direction) to find the managers that care enough to proactively improve the careers of their reports. Then you want to transfer to those managers. It is a total waste of time to manage your manager. If your manager isn't telling you how to get promoted then you should find another manager.
Every time the subject of a consumption tax or VAT comes up, people say it will replace the income tax. If anything like this ever gets mass appeal because they say it will replace the income tax, the implementation IMO will be in addition to the income tax. Governments rarely get rid of taxes.
Yep. What can I say, the years have turned me from a "plug me in ASAP!" future-loving optimist to a bit of a luddite. I truly think I'd be happier in a world without the 'net.
As far as I recall Meta's Galactica has special tokens to mark working out which can include python code and can run the code during inference to get a result.
One thing to note is that if you're using a 360 now, the most recent update is not actually the NXE. They updated the 360 dash again to make it look like the then-current Xbone dash.

For reference:

- Blades dash has four or five "blades" that you can flip between. Each blade has it's own UI and can open up into submenus.

- NXE dash has a vertical list of horizontal menus, sort of like XMB flipped on its side. Or the Blades dash flipped on its side and with everything on one row each. This design was tweaked several times, most notably when the Kinect launched.

- Grid dash has a grid of icons, vaguely like the Wii Menu, except you can't reorganize anything on it and everything is ads.

I got my 360 the day before the NXE launched, so I didn't notice a performance regression with NXE. But using the grid dash today makes the console feel incredibly sluggish.
Detecting BS is going to matter even more now that we have ChatGPT - expect discussions of just what is BS to have a lot of currency.

The NHS also costs more now because the population is sicker than in 1948. Older, fatter, more sedentary, heavily impacted by preventable chronic diseases. Demand for services is way up. Higher taxes might help a little but won't address the root cause.
If there are very few non-predatory low wage jobs with good career prospects (which is one of the fundamental gripes of millennials/gen z along with housing costs) then your choices are:

1. Get lucky enough to land a good low paying job where advancement is likely
2. Take the shit job while you hope to find #1 (assuming you have the time and energy to keep job hunting while dealing with life/taking care of a kid/going to school part time/etc)
3. Get evicted for not paying rent and become homeless. You aren't even allowed the option of homesteading/living off the land, because it's all private property and some rich jerk who never uses it will eventually end up calling the sheriff on you.
4. Say fuck the system and become a criminal.

People are tired of spending their entire life on option #2, burning half their monthly paycheck on substandard, overcrowded living accommodations. These jobs are a trap, and companies that have roles of this sort should be forced to either build progression into them, or compensate workers better. If a business can't turn a profit without exploiting its workers it shouldn't be a business.
> Because you notice that Broadcast-Service happens to already know some other important stuff about all the enregistered clients.

Looks like you are trying to get a complete separation of concerns. That's a good practice when modularizing code, but it's not unambiguously good for services, because composing services come with added cost.

On practice that means that if those pieces of information are really important, there will probably exist many services that read them, and trying to reduce that to a single one will break many good qualities your software has elsewhere. Your service having a clear purpose is one of those qualities.
AirBNB is knowingly violating their own terms and allowing hosts to intentionally do so too. Bait-and-switch is fraud and a criminal offense. AirBNB refuses to allow guests to set there own cancellation policies, allow hosts to agree to them manually/automatically, and enforce them on behalf of the guests like they do for host. AirBNB deletes blocks & deletes reviews.

Yes, AirBNB is possible to blame. US state attorney general should investigate them.
As someone who also used Hypercard, I tend to agree. There's a reason we aren't still talking about Hypercard today the way it was talked about then, but it was a different time. We were so much more enamored with software's potential. Today, we get upset if a button press takes five seconds instead of one.
Because it only understands language to the extent needed to do math, and that's the easy part.

Merge WolframAlpha and ChatGPT and give it real-time access to the Web, and then things will get interesting.
Maybe Kazushige Goto? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazushige_Goto)

His optimizations for linear algebra computations on commodity hardware are widely, widely used even to this day.
One could argue that giving one side enough support to keep fighting, but not enough to win, causes long term damage to them. The US did something similar to Iraq against Iran in the 1980's and we also used the Mujahedeen(the basis of al-Qaeda) against the Soviets despite the long term harm it caused to the people of Afghanistan.

In proxy wars, nothing is as simple as we would like.

For me, as a non-manager IC, I find it a complete waste of time. Unless I actually had an issue, but I'd rather not sit on an issue waiting for stand-up, and only would if it were close and I wanted to have something to say.

But managers, or at least the one that replied when I mentioned the above once, seem to like them, here what everyone's doing all at once ... Without having to read Jira titles themselves I suppose.

Perhaps ideal then would be some kind of Slack bot/app where everyone has to submit a quick video or voice clip once a day, and it queues them all up to play at whatever time the next day/stand-up period the manager wants the report.
I've been thinking about how I interact on HN and "being careful about what I post" but I realized that if I'm "being careful" then there are parts of myself that I actually don't agree with because I'm not willing to broadcast them or I'm scared about being judged.

I think I've realized I need to let go of that and just let me be me. Not everyone is going to agree with what I say and that's ok, at least I either know or can reflect on the things people disagree with and either change or feel more confident in the end.
You too!

Just so you know, as I've seen some people make mistakes like this in the past (example: non-native English speakers), when you directly ask someone a question, us native speakers would consider it "directly addressing" them.

So in the future, if you want to refer to a group only, in English you need to not directly ask a question starting with "Have you...".
That's half the picture. The other half is that the average European is less motivated toward violence or suicide than, say, the average American - and is therefore less motivated toward acquiring the tools for violence or suicide, by whatever means necessary.

Basically: it's the intersection of ease v. motivation that's at play, not just the ease alone. Once that's identified, it becomes immediately obvious that there's a whole cornucopia of options besides trying to minimize ease (and failing, due to technological advances making it easier to sidestep artificial obstacles - 3D printing being the topical example).
I can imagine alternatives that aren't one of a) unlimited fascist oligarchy (present) and b) unlimited corporate oligarchy (your proposed alternative).

Chances of you publishing something in ML improve proportionally to the amount of hardware you have access to. Or to put it another way, the less hardware you have, the smarter you have to be to publish something in ML.
Often the "hack on something personal" just flicks a switch for me, I'm talking within an hour or two - but sounds like you're feeling a bigger sense of urgency than even that would help.

.. which honestly sounds an awful lot like the stress of the situation (or concern about cognitive decline) - which isn't going to do your focus any favours!

Any kind of reset can help with that: go for a short walk, chuck some binaural beats on headphones and close your eyes for 5 mins, drink a warm (non-caffeinated) beverage and think about something else.

Above all else: probably good to just remember everyone has off days, other engineers aren't going to judge you for a day of lower productivity

Aside from reducing your internal stress, One key ingredient of finding "flow" is a sense of immediate feedback, perhaps allocate 20 mins to some short tasks which give rapid reward; write a couple tests, draw a diagram, etc..

See the parenthetical in the 2nd paragraph of the comment you're replying to.
As a person leader, I typically followed a pattern which I think I found here.

Ask them how they're doing.
Ask them if they have any blockers.
Ask them if how I can help them with any of their blockers.
Ask them what has been done on the blockers since last meeting (if they're holdover).

Seemed to be a reliable pattern for myself at least.
The problem of driving a robot straight through a corridor while avoiding obstacles is Robotics 101 stuff. With the right sensors. This scenario calls for long rang distance detection, which is the natural wheelhouse of LIDAR.

Unfortunately, Tesla seems to have something to prove when it comes to LIDAR, and stubbornly refuses to adopt the technology, despite crashes and even deaths that have occurred, and general industry understanding that it's the enabling technology for driverless cars.

Is it legal to create a two-ton machine with admittedly beta-quality software, and a sensor stack that is known to be insufficient; and allow it to autonomous roam around town, crashing into things and killing their drivers? Apparently that is fine in the eyes of the law. Is it unethical? Society seems to be deliberating this one. I hear a lot of "the ends justify the means" style thinking in this area.

Either way, this should embarrass the hell out of Tesla engineers. I used to feel sorry for them, but it's been long enough that they should know better.
Thanks for letting me know. I will have to take a look. I setup Ghost a long time ago and just really use it for the blogging...

Good luck on retiring in your 40s, that’s currently almost entirely up to external factors like demographics and the federal government. Maker and destroyer of wealth. Baby boomers retiring in mass are about to hit the economy hard. They need their investments to live off of and they will be spending in an economy they aren’t producing for. Inflation will be crazy so the way to compensate will be to stay employed.

Part of this is resume driven development.

Loyalty gets you very little in today's climate. Why should I spend time understanding the current system that was developed on yesterdays hotness?

I need to spend my time here developing on the latest trends on a new solution (learning more from running into the same walls the current system did) - not learning the domain knowledge + old framework, so I can move on after a year and earn more at the next place.

Is this good for the world? No. But unless you want to swing the hammock and work at institions that value incumbents, the incentive is to do whatever work improves your resume, not what benefits the company.

I don't personally like it, and I often see old systems that are just fine get thrown out and replaced with the a less featured replacement that grow into the same kludge as the first, but I can't ignore that when you do that you learn way more and have better examples to point at in interviews.
The author starts with the implicit assumption that the companies in the target audience will not be able to restart the metaphorical engine, which is why they recommend letting it idle. They tactfully don't call attention to the fact that not everyone has that problem.
If I were you I'd get a neurological test and try to rule out all serious possibilities. Not because they are likely but because its good to catch many of those possibilities early and the fact that you are posting here suggests it is at least a possibility. IANAD

Reverse-engineering is inherently an inductive process, whereby you have to make educated guesses as to what the model is, iteratively.

Samba is a great example of how this is necessarily an imperfect model, and definitely not an optimal process:
