> these companies would get the corporate death penalty

Would suggest replacing this in your vocabulary with “fines,” “license revocation” or “criminal penalties.” Corporate death penalties, i.e. judicial dissolution or charter revocations, while a good slogan, don’t make a lot of legal sense. As a result, I’ve found it in practice used to segregate activism and turnout operations (who like it) from rule and lawmaking influence (where it’s not a serious concept).

Massive fines, equal to market cap, or absolute liability, e.g. a $10k + legal expenses minimum owed to each person whose data leaked irrespective of actual damages, for example, are more specific and actually actionable.
did not crime prediction system let them arrest more African American?
I don't know which FBI you're speaking of, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't rule (adjudicate) on anything.

The courts threw her case out. No, she didn't invent those.
That’s poetic. Maybe I’ll understand it eventually.
Terminator is already listed as having copywright issues with another author though.
Guardians of the Galaxy (the first one), Thor 3, Boyhood. There are blockbusters of our days that are going to be eternal classics, like the Terminator.
There was a good discussion about this a few months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32933603
I always find this argument bizzare.

I don't want to live in a world where people are doing jobs that provide no value but only exist because "everyone needs a job". I would literally prefer we give them the money and they do no work than forcing people to do a useless job just for the sake of them working.

Do people really want their jobs to be the equivalent Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill aimlessly everyday? There's a reason why this is seen as a divine punishment in the myth.
I still catch Back to the Future every time its on TV.

That movie is so well-paced even by modern standards.
Are there any idle power measurements in that article? For 95%+ of the time my home computer isn't doing a lot (text editing, simple browsing, playing radio or music).
Back in the 1980s, a number of soldiers drowned in the hydraulic below the dam at the Little Falls pumping station on the Potomac. One of Tufte's books (I think Envisioning Information) includes the illustration of the effect that The Washington Post published shortly after that.
As someone who LOVES the books (the frank herbert ones at least). I thought the movie was great. They captured the tone very well, casting was good. Even the dialogue created just for the movie that Duke Leto and Paul have about Desert power was very Dune. It also helped make clear that the Atriedes aren't "good guys" right off the bat.

My only real complaint was that the time between them landing and the Harkonnen's invading was too short and didn't cover all the intrigue/politics occuring on Arrakis before the invasion.

In the movie it came off as: Okay Leto you get Arrakis now LOL JK WE'RE INVADING IMMEDIATELY. But that being said, I understand there are length constraints and I think the movie was already about 2.5 hours so I can forgive them
Those are called "weirs", and often known as drowning machines. Practical Engineering on youtube has a great video about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkR79oDAgOg&vl=en
Or, as mentioned in the post, why they don't do a shallow clone if they have to fetch it every time for whatever reason. Seems like a weird decision either way.
Are those warning labels there because they've been proven to be effective, or because someone sued and that's their way to mitigate that? I have a problem visualizing the venn diagram of people who are so stupid they'll put the bag in their mouth but also people who will listen to the words written on said bag.
Make cool stuff with ue5 and the blueprint system for the logic.
What’s the deal on package mangement? They did quite a few iterations here so I don’t follow. Don’t know about the Russ takeover either
Were you able to build something using this?
Same here, actually 2022 was my "year of focus" but that didn't work out really well until the final months so I'm trying again.

I think learning how to focus and work more hours without distractions is far more important than any tech thing I could possibly learn, and it works for University as well.

I noticed that after several days studying more or less heavily for college, suddenly youtube or twitter don't look that interesting anymore, but you have to keep being consistent, else you will relapse.
Sure, but to be honest I'm a little bit boggled at the idea of a phd mathematician finding trig manipulation hard enough to be worth commenting on.
The weirdo "startup culture" that developed in the dot com boom and survives today is just a modern phenomenon. I remember a relatively high level of disregard for the literature even back in the early 80s, more in industrial research labs than academia of course, but even in academia the CS culture was quite different from the other sciences like mathematics or physics. Perhaps it was the engineering influence.

It's peculiar as so much early CS came from people trained as mathematicians.
I've been on a kick of reading parenting books. I do a thing when I read where I fact check books when I read them (only things which are claims, usually only if cited or very specific).

Out of 7 or 8 books, only a minority have passed without deep deep factual errors. One specific one comes to mind - a book on "Danish Parenting" that cited a monkey study about kids and peer groups. I looked up the original study and the study author had specifically said not to cite the study on young primate behaviors in his disclaimers - he had used zoo raised primates.

Usually books are either generally pretty factual, or just repeated outright lies. "Hunt. Gather. Parent." was one I caught in multiple just plain falsehoods (and they didn't even need the cites! Just state it as an opinion!)

Obviously that is just parenting books which is a tiny niche, but I encourage you to do the same before taking a book as the gospel truth.
Hmm. I wonder if this can be used to make a home assistant sound like someone
> I did other reckless shit with my own car. [...] Drove it 120 miles per hour just to see what it felt like.

Admittedly this gave me a chuckle. Most people don't go that fast, but with the right kind of car this no big deal on the Autobahn.
If you like his stuff you should check out the sigbovik proceedings each year. Most of his videos are about his papers there and he has even more papers he doesn't make videos about! I don't think anybody else is making papers as interesting as his (about half are just jokes with no real content) but there are other gems of a similar "work hard on a fundamentally silly problem" vein.
One time, I was driving at night in the Sierra after a storm - roads were covered in snow. It's a drive I've made close to 100 times without incident. Going around a bend, I saw a car in the ditch on the outside of the curve. I stopped the car, put on the hazards, and went to see if there was anyone in the car.

As I was about to cross the highway a car come sliding around the bend more or less sideways. I stopped and watched it slide past. I could tell it was going to miss me by 10 feet or more, but afterward I couldn't stop thinking: What if it had been headed towards me? Could I have gotten out of the way in time? What if I'd slipped? I couldn't believe how close I might have come to dying without even thinking about it. I'll never get out of the car in a storm again, at least not without thinking very carefully about the situation first.

My other near miss experience was staying at a bread-and-breakfast farmhouse in Portugal. I had taken a shower, and was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, when I noticed the light above the mirror was crooked. It was one of those swiveling can fixtures, so I reached up to adjust it. I knew it wouldn't be hot since I'd just turned it on, so I grabbed it firmly and then asked myself why it was vibrating. And for that matter why was my whole arm vibrating? When I realized I was being shocked I was able to let go and spent 20 minutes pacing around my room making sure I wasn't dead. You really can't do worse than standing barefoot, soaking wet, on a stone floor, and grabbing a live fixture, can you?

If anyone would like to explain why that didn't kill me I'm all ears.
From the GitHub issue, by a Googler:

> For boring technical reasons, it would be a fair bit of extra work for us to read robots.txt […]

This is coming from one of the biggest, richest, most well-staffed companies on the planet. It’s too much work for them to read a robots.txt file like the rest of the world (and plenty of one-man teams) do before hammering a server with terabytes of requests.

If this is too much for them then no wonder they won’t implement smarter logic like differential data downloads or traffic synchronization among peer nodes.
I'd take a different approach. Get him into scripting in Roblox. Both of my kids learned lua mostly on their own just because they wanted to make their own gameplay. Both went on to computer science and are doing 'real' software development now. But they learned programming concepts without going to deep in the weeds of low level stuff. The hard part of game development is making fun gameplay, so rather than focus on rendering, etc., help him make gameplay.
Or the voice actor could license their profile to {{ProductionCompany}}, and not even have to go to the recording studio anymore unless it's a project they're personally interested in or where the production team wants to pay extra for a custom performance.

A high school friend of mine did that and became the voice of the "pronounce this name" feature on Facebook.
Unlikely. Humans were in North America for at least 10 millennia before. And never wiped out horses or camels in Asia.

The comet strike is a better bet.
The Dune was a complete waste of time. I have no idea if its adapted from a book or something but I just couldnt understand the story, just that the spice should flow.
Same here. Thanks OP for bringing this up, I wondered about this too. I lost attention span for online content, and reading a lot more books (fiction and non-fiction) than I used to instead. Change was fairly abrupt.
I don't understand why McCandless was idolized (I do know there was backlash from actual knowledgeable people, like park rangers). He purposefully put himself in harm's way and didn't have any relevant skills that would have helped him survive. So what's admirable or romantic about the way he died?
Per the issue, both.
AVX-512 for the masses! It's going to be interesting to see what we can do with this now that many will have it in the coming years.

FTC Head: Noncompetes Depress Wages and Kill Innovation
I do bjj 4 days a week with two of those days being on my lunch break, the other three days I walk my dog during lunch, I do 6 sets of push ups, squats, or pull ups on work days, and I using a standing desk in the morning. Just bought a little floor tredmill that I can walk on during meetings as well.

I would probably be in better shape if I was moving all day everyday but I'm pretty sure my body would start to break down as well. I know not everyone has as much freedom but if you work from home it isnt that hard to squeeze in a pretty decent amount of exercise during the work day.
The first tweet says ‘the current climate in AI’ and ‘everyone’.

But actually it’s just social bubbles especially in VCs.

It’s not a response or a clarification it’s a change to the meaning of his headline.

What is a web3 website/product that can be called a hit?
I'm using a 5950X, and in the BIOS there is a setting where you can enter the power limit in Watts. So while the "X" CPUs consume more power as configured out-of-the-box, you can still set your own limit as desired.
Any advice on how to improve on art/graphics for a developer? I always find that I can program just fine, but when it comes to creating models and splash art, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Perhaps, but those reasons should still be communicated.
Many issues with Go design steem from "how Google does it", this is just yet another one.
Just because those are close to me or my work, regarding ChatGPT:

- I started using it as a programming co-tutor, it's amazing. Not perfect, but good enough. https://twitter.com/any_other_you/status/1607116905919152128

- I could use it as is for customer service chatbots if I could trust it (hard nut to crack, but I see it coming. You.com already has a nice factual chatbot that usually delivers sources to its claims.

- I use it to sum articles or rephrase silly "philosophers speak" to me

- It could easily write business email fluff for me (just don't need that too much luckily)

Non ChatGPT:

- Even plain intent detection is great to replace these "press n for X" machines on the phone

- audio clean-up is amazing ("imagines" a HQ recording from a noisy one)

- neural speech to text is amazing (the tik-talk voice is a good popular example, but there are even better ones)

- Protein folding

- Image classification for science and military

- Image generation is amazing for projects that traditionally employ concept artists. Like a mood board ( https://www.thefilmfund.co/what-is-a-mood-board-and-are-they... ) but better.

there is a lot...
I like the theory that this is because Iowa is the most important state in the presidential primaries.

Too cute a theory to be completely true, but I don't think it's completely untrue either.
I personally do not care that much about peak power, if I am actually crunching numbers I might as well do it as fast as possible.

However I care a lot about idle power consumption, with a desktop computer turned on most of the day, these small inefficiencies really add up.

As a concrete example, my desktop GPU has a well known bug that makes it consume 30 W more idle than it should. For an always on desktop, that's 260 KWh wasted per year.
Lots of stuff in the comments already about dual-track and external career options.

I'd add: can you hire a deputy who enjoys doing this?

* Ask for the next project management hire to be a true TPM, and try to pull someone who's working on something boring but is really interested in getting into your area of technology. Have them run all the Jira, summarization, execution of planning processes, comms & coordination. You'll still need to own hiring, still need to do a lot of people development work and still have to get involved in marketing & product strategy - but might get some leverage in internal pieces you don't like.

* Promote or hire another person who shows interest and aptitude in management, with the explicit plan for them to be your deputy and to take on some of the "tasks you don't really enjoy," especially if scoped to a specific area. Can you structure your work so someone else is responsible for 50% (or even more) of it? Can they do the RFP first-pass reviews, and even be responsible for pushing back on things in their area of responsibility? Can they manage some of your directs, and co-lead some of the above processes within their scope? There might be someone on the team who feels underutilized, wants more visibility, has strong relationships and is willing to learn. And if there's not - that's signal for you and your hiring process that maybe you've only hired folks like you; it may be time to have a broader set of folks on the team.
I also found this to be true. "Thought leaders", individual personalities as experts, etc. However: there are mountains of really good non-fiction books if you're willing to get a little boring. I've started digging heavily into mathematics and philosophy, and found Walter Rudin, Richard McElreath, and Nancy Cartwright. I read Bree Fram's With Honor and Integrity: Transgender Troops in their Own Words. I basically survive by a few curated Twitter accounts, the Washington Post and AP, and good books these days. The web today feels like too much content, too much manipulation, too little value, too little time.
I’m particularly annoyed that Kia changed its logo and thus name to KN but pretends it didn’t
I am running my 7950X at 105W, because I get 97%-99% of the performance on my own workloads and extremely quiet operation. At 65W I'd lose too much performance and wouldn't gain anything meaningful; at 170W the PC would be audible.
That's the problem with sushi aficionados, no sense of humour.
Oh yeah. I have done this and left because I couldn't see a way out.

I'd suggest having a hard conversation with your leadership. You have to be prepared to leave, as there may not be a place for a senior (expensive) person who isn't leading teams. But you'll never know until you ask. I'd probably say something like "I'm not sure this role is a fit for me. My ideal role would be <describe role>. Do you think there's a way I can take on more of that kind of role at this company?"

It'll probably be months or years until you can transition internally, but you can start the conversation.

PS It isn't childish. I firmly believe that everyone should do a stint as a manager, if for no other reason than to have empathy for managers, but no one has an obligation to be a manager forever.
I don't think it needs to tell us anything about computation. It can be just a fun thing to do. We've got decades of "surprise this is Turing Complete" results. One more doesn't tell us anything about computation. But it's still fun!

Think of it like writing a quine in some weird language or something. We already know it can be done. But it is still cool!
I actually enjoy interviewing, mentoring, being involved in discussion of direction and tech and decision making however I despise most of the HR related "paper pushing" tasks and the often pointless seeming rigor around a lot of it.

Minor example, struggling this morning (password fails, no reset email is appearing, etc.) with getting into our damn accounting system to "approve" (by checking a box) some training expenses that I already approved anyway. Little stuff like that but also big stuff like the specific questions that need to be submitted for a performance review (or the multiple meetings associated with such a review). I'm earning more money than I have ever earned in my life and finally have a chance at funding a normal retirement (I came to this career late) but there is little joy in my work life.
1. Yes. No soldering required. Just put it on the socket on the presoldered board.

2. Just buy the presoldered kit and SGP41 module together (put both items into the shopping cart).

3. Yes. The software will already show the TVOC and NOx values.

We are building a lovable product, running on modern architecture, technology and methodologies. We are looking for an experienced, frontend-focused Engineer, who is experienced with Vue.js and Typescript and eager to join our team to bring our product to the next level.

Just message me directly if you’d like to learn more: paul@packmatic.io
Knowing him, it probably wasn’t nothing. But that also does Dr matter - he runs a hosting service that sees a fair amount of traffic and the onus is on Google as stewards of the golang community and the brilliant minds behind invisibly proxing requests through Google’s servers to continue to figure this issue out. They have his email address.
The one earnest question that will ALWAYS make scammers hang up immediately:

"In case we get cut off, what phone number can I call you back on?"

If they actually give you a number instead of hanging up (which has NEVER happened in the many times I've used this line), just hang up immediately and call them back, to see if they answer.
I actually don't mind the blue clay. Made things much more watchable - the contrast between the color of the ball and the court was much more noticeable versus red clay (or grass, for that matter, which is similarly difficult to watch due to the fact that the ball color and court color are very close).

Sometimes watching the sport on TV is a pain because you're not going to see the ball very well if the court isn't blue or black. Makes sense why more and more people watch (and support) individual players versus the sport overall, which I think is sad as tennis is a great sport.
Important clarification.
A paltry 100x cap on profit. Sure to dissuade any savvy investor and ensure that the public benefits first and foremost.
It's my understanding that tv and film people do the signed releases because they don't want to be sued, not because they necessarily wouldn't eventually win an expensive legal battle if they were sued.
TL;DR version.

Go package management was quite poor for many real use cases outside Google, so the community railed around many competing proposals, and when it appeared there was a clear winner, the Go team came out with their own solution instead.

This after kind of supporting the ongoing community efforts.
I understand "corporate death penalty" as a dissolution of the corporation, likely with some cool down time for the execs found guilty when they cannot work as execs.

No violence should be involved. Large layoffs resulting from that won't be pleasant one bit though.
> I stopped reading non-fiction books. Most of them have about a blog post worth of ideas, but the publisher had the author pad it out to X00 pages because that's what makes their business model make sense.

(One trick here is to buy short/small non-fiction books.)

Looking at books to use in class, I'm constantly surprised at how many words they use to convey so few concepts. Teaching is an optimization problem, and if you're optimizing for something else (e.g. making money), the teaching is likely to suffer.

For that reason, you're right on about distrusting blog posts. A lot of them are written in order to make money. Sometimes they also teach.

Not that there's anything wrong with getting paid for your work. I've made a great deal of capitalist money doing various things. But I also believe that I should make my money doing something else, and use that to fund the information-sharing portion of my life.

When it comes to teaching, I don't demand anything from my students or readers. At least not directly--students still pay tuition, and some of that goes to me. But all the ebooks and materials I write are free to use and have no ads and no tracking. The only goal is to teach as efficiently as possible, and no have money enter the picture.

Again, if one wants to make money with your blog or videos or whatever, I'm not judging. My personal ethic prohibits it for me, but of course people are free to do what they want. I just tend to value sites without advertising more than those with.

So I guess I am judging. :)
> How would one limit a free offer to a certain country?

You could choose a country with a unique language and limit the free version to that language.

Though I'd question a limitation to a single country itself. Cultural aspects do matter, and by doing so you pin down two variables at once, so the results are much harder to interpret.
