> The Director of Engineering questioned whether creating and using such a data set was legal, but Javice tried to assure the engineer by claiming that this was perfectly acceptable in an investment situation and she did not believe that anyone would end up in an "orange jumpsuit" over this project.

> The Director of Engineering was not persuaded and told Javice and Amar that he would not perform the task and only would send them the file containing Frank's actual users, which amounted to approximately 293,000 individuals at that time.

Had she managed to successfully persuade him, would the Director of Engineering have been liable for fraud? She clearly tried to make it seem all look legal.

What should an engineer do when asked to do something that he's not sure whether it's legal or not?
Wow, that’s interesting. Looks like the links on their GitHub page are dead, though, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
My advice to you is don't throw your money away. Facebook ads are one big scam.
Instead of the manual curation could this be automated in some way? e.g. a 'block list' of domains for the major outlets and maybe keyword filter.

It's not a strawman. If the state disallows you from murdering your child, they have authority over you. There are court cases every year where parents who kill their kids get convicted and sent to jail. Who had authority? The people who went to jail, or the people who sent them there?

> I'd rather have a distributed system of parents putting a majority of their time and attention into figuring out what's best for their own kid -- rather than a bureaucratic state that's playing politics and influenced by lobbyists, deciding what's probably best for the majority of the kids.

I would rather have the state disallow murdering children rather than each parent deciding for themselves if they should be able to murder their kid. Maybe you had great parents, but not everyone is so lucky. Sometimes parents don't do what's best for their kid. In those cases, it's better for the state to use their Ultimate Authority to intervene in the interests of the child.

Stopping people from killing their children should be uncontroversial.

Yea, that's been my experience. Incredibly frustrating. Pre Covid, people at work would put on Slack they "had the flu they can't work today". Or "I had the flu this weekend". What they don't know is if you have the flu you literally can't move from bed and the thought of typing into Slack would be a task too great.

Apple has 20x the market cap, 5x the profit as Goldman, and almost the same profit margin. Relatively speaking, Apple has been able to move a lot more heaven and earth than Goldman for a long time now.
When manuals are useful (were is perhaps a better term, many get lost) that's one thing.

But the manual is often a generic document that references a half dozen different models, spends more pages talking about features your item doesn't have that items it does. Sometimes flat out wrong about obvious details. ("We don't even have a 'defrost dedicates' setting!")

Some of my appliances spend some of their lives in a limbo state where the original design is no longer relevant, once I begin repairing them. Documentation then is notes taped to the new, improvised controls and common sense / household wide training things like: "if it emits more smoke than usual, unplug it."
Alternatively to "better IDE", use git worktree. git allows to check out multiple revisions to distinct working directories.

Or just clone the same repo multiple times, or have some releases unpacked outside of version control.
It's not about need. It's about ROI.
Does Twitter (or any tech company) _need_ 7500 employees to stay operational? The answer is no.

But let me ask you a different question. Can one engineer increase the companies revenues by 0.1%?

If they can, they just made the company $5m/yr

If the ROI equation of an incremental hire can increase the companies revenues by 0.1% or even 0.01% the right move is to hire as many people as you can while the return on investment holds.
Well, if you count like that people not necessarily know that they are using Linux either when:

I’m torn between the argument about individualized suspicion, which I find really compelling, and the fact that extreme circumstances demand some extreme measures.

Leading with the capitol attack doesn’t highlight to me why wide scope of these powers is a problem. Tell me more about the civil rights campaigns that are being disrupted with these technologies and powers.

It’s not helpful to highlight how it was used to arrest violent separatists. Tell me how it’s being used to punch down!

Without an example like that, I’m inclined to say this is a time where the federal government’s reliance on norms is working. As in, they have the power to do these kinds of things, but they choose to apply that power pretty selectively.
I believe that AI-powered writing tools like ChatGPT are just the beginning of many exciting and useful tools to come. But we have to remember that these are just tools.

I also believe that the way we use the tool has been evolving with the developments of these tools:
When using Google, it is important to know what search terms to use.
When using Grammarly, it is important to know what suggestions to accept and what to ignore.
When using ChatGPT, the skill is in asking the right question.

Using ChatGPT in the way you described, as a tool to assist and improve your own writing, should not be considered plagiarism.
Compression down to two bytes per image?

You run into the pigeonhole argument. That level of compression can only work if there are less than seventy thousand different images in existence, total.

Certainly there’s a deep theoretical equivalent between intelligence and compression, but this scenario isn’t what anyone means by “compression” normally.
I call this hybrid static websites. It allows you to statially generate pages for even people who are logged in. It means the generation step is powered by interaction with the static site. I use a special api.subdomain.tld proxy_pass to a server to trigger the site generation.

I wrote a forum that regenerated the static files when a post is added. Including the user's own account pages, those were statically generated too.

In theory a change to a user's account should only change that user's account pages.

I wrote a medium article about it. I was trying to get as many requests per second while logged in. It's an extension of the cache invalidation problem.

I got to 3288 requests per second on a virtual machine. A static site should get at least 12,000 requests per second. For reference, Visa and Mastercard process 40,000 requests in total per second for financial transactions. I use an nginx authenticator and Rust authentication program that talks to Redis to check the IP address of a user's session token in the URL. You could probbaly improve the performance further by using an embedded Lua script in Nginx and using that to authenticate IP address rather than doing a HTTP request for each request that the nginx authenticator does.

You can see the static site as a cache that needs to be updated based on new inputs.

i disagree. theres a sweet spot between being completely divorced from nature, and being completely subject to it.

A regression test is checking causality: Changes in new code, updating dependencies, updating the OS the software is running on, updating shared libraries, porting the code to a new platform, etc. aren't supposed to change the test results.

Maybe be patient. I can only speak for myself but it might be true for others, I don't take change well. I know that about myself so I subtract the initial negative feelings I usually have. So I mistrust those feeling, and rely on patience. I ask myself, was today so bad that I can't do it again tomorrow. Also, I try to make the best of it. I become a supporter not a detractor. They have the right to pursue a new vision and if I am not helping them, then it's not fair and they will more likely fail.

They have a vision that they have the right to pursue... centralized ci/cd, shared reusable libraries, and microservices. Help them. Yeah they don't know exactly how to do it, but you can help.

Maybe a chance in attitude. But all the while, update your resume and ship it around. Still be prepared to leave. Even go on interviews. Even if you leave, the last few months at your job don't need to be hell.

It does matter whether the science is misprepresented, causing irrational anxiety in people, which also increases your risk of "so many diseases and death".

Respiratory infections generally increase your risk for various pathologies, but so does staying indoors in fear, not getting exercise and avoiding social contact.
Most of the parents I feel frustrated with show hesitancy about even testing, despite also being very concerned about their child failing in school. They treat a positive diagnosis and even testing like a conspiracy, and continually argue that it's simply a question of laziness and motivation.

I am not sure what age you define as young children. I think ages 13 and above, with the assumption they started puberty at minimum a year prior and are at least entering high school, is a fair time to seriously consider/start pharmacological treatment. That was my suggestion to some other parents who have directly asked me. Sometimes starting medication younger is necessary, but in my opinion most kids aren't doing anything where focus is critical to their long term success before starting high school.

I similary have reservations about the current way in which ADHD hyperactive is diagnosed in children younger than 12. I am mainly talking about primarily inattentive diagnoses, because that's what I have experience with and feel confident speaking about. I only teach kids in high school and older. On the other hand, there's a weakness in identifying girls who would benefit from being tested, and an issue of underdiagnosed women, because of the way ADHD symtoms present differently by gender.
Yeah, the OP's counterargument is that you can filter down what goes into the test output. But at that point it seems not too different qualitatively from the traditional bottom-up approach where you just write assertions yourself, except that the framework does the job of populating the assertions' expected values.
Overfitting seems like a fuzzy area here. I could train a model on one image that could consistently produce an output no human could tell apart from the original. And of course, shades of gray from there.

Regarding your edit, what are the chances of a "hash collision" where the hash is two MP4 files for two different movies? Seems wildly astronomical.. impossible even? That's why this hash method is so special, plus the built in preview feature you can use to validate your hash against the source material, even without access to the original.
I would have assumed that's always the case for all storage devices? Or am I naive? I would expected any cloud provider to do that, even if it's just to make disposing old drives easier.
> In the truck class, the surprise winners [in the 1986 rally] were Giacomo Vismara and Giulio Minelli in the Mercedes support truck for the Honda of Italy bike team.

The Dakar Rally is such a crazy event, and that a support team can also win, even if the team they were supported didn't, or even had to retire before reaching the finish line.

What others sports could you even achieve something like that?
Yeah, I looked again and it looks like they're actually only pulling those packages in when they need to build node for the current ARCH. (that's what I get for just scanning to the first call to apk add)

They also appear to be cleaning them up, so I'm not actually sure where all that extra weight is coming from.

Node itself is fairly trimmed down in the packages for alpine (40MB installed), but they're not using that package, they're pulling in their own version from their download sources - so it's possible they're including a lot of extra junk there. They also add yarn which is another 10mb.

But in general - I agree, there's about 100mb of weight I can't actually explain in that image from a very quick look.
True, more and more sites get broken, even page content for our DMV website. I've gotten used to activating the pi-hole Disable for N seconds/minutes feature regularly.

I strongly oppose the notion that you're not a full member of society without kids. That's an unnecessary attack on a valid lifestyle choice. And even worse, a lot of people don't even get to choose, which you're ignoring entirely.

> They don’t rely on individualized suspicion, which is what’s required under the Fourth Amendment [to the U.S. Constitution]

That's definitely a "citation needed" statement.

In Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives’ Ass’n, 489 U.S. 602 (1989) the Court upheld mandatory drug testing for railway employees involved in accidents or safety violations despite no probable cause or individualized suspicion.

In Michigan Dep’t of State Police v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444 (1990) the Court upheld sobriety check points in which all cars are briefly stopped for questioning and observation. There's no individualized suspicion there. See also the cases involving border patrol checkpoints. A checkpoint 50 miles from the border doesn't involve any individualized suspicion.

Individualized suspicion is required I believe to target an individual, but hasn't targeting a place where a crime has been committed to get more information to try to figure what individuals might be involved been standard, uncontroversial, police procedure in the United States for hundreds of years?

E.g., if a clearly murdered body is found in a maid's closet at a hotel when the maids go to start their shift in the morning police are going to get a warrant to get the list of all staff and guests that were known to be in the hotel between the time the closet was last known to be dead body free and the time the body was discovered.

That seems at least somewhat similar to a geofence warrant and has been pretty normal since basically forever.
Thx for this hint. I just tried this but it shows that suggestion at the cursor. Not above the keyboard. So it’s not as fast or useful :(
One reason for this trend could be that these popular tools have set a new standard for user experience and functionality, and many companies are trying to emulate their success.

With the rise of design systems and pre-built UI kits, it's easier than ever for developers to skip designers and build something fast. This lack of customization of UI kits results in similar design elements across different projects.
With regard to local variables, although standard Forth has them or considers them as an extension, Moore is correct in the sense that they are a crutch for when you did something wrong - often they allow to sweep under the carpet a "stack juggling" issue, which is usually a sign that you should reconsider your approach to the problem.

FYI Moore also designed processors; one of his designs was apparently viable enough to be part of the Rosetta mission. At some point he wrote his own CAD program to design his processors, which are at the very least functional.

It's not "simplicity of implementation" for the sake of it. It's about finding the simplest solution to a problem. But people too often confuse "simple" with "easy" if not "lazy" or "simplistic" - like your depiction of his approach.

It kinda is, because those are substances people fall into using habitually and constantly. (ex) Heroin users frequently talk about PAWS, which describes this, prolonged anhedonic dissatisfaction with life that can last months or years.

I don’t believe it applies in the same way to substances people use infrequently.

I reached heights of experience untold with MDMA on dance floors when I was younger. In my 40s I still get a kick out going to the zoo though, a walk in the countryside, solving a puzzle, or a visit to the pub with my mates.

I’ve been warily watching this grow in my own life. At first it was just some podcasts in the background while working. Then it became all kinds of videos. Then it became while taking breaks, preparing food, eating food, using the bathroom, etc. It consumed all my quiet time. I managed to break the habit as a side effect of upending my whole life and digital nomading around for a year and a half (side note, that was a very positive experience, and actually helped, rather than hurt my career.) Now I feel it coming back, and worse thanks to YouTube shorts.

This argument doesn't make sense. That's like saying you cant review a security camera overlooking a carpark to see who was illegally using your carpark.
> If your neighbors aren't paying their heating bills so that you can leech heat through the walls, it fails

On the other hand, living in high density housing is more efficient, there's less external wall area per dwelling. District heating 'should' be more efficient and practical at higher densities.

All things being equal, living in a flat in a city is going to be less energy intensive than living in a detached house in the country/suburbs.

Good luck for developping a robust system by considering the execution plateform can introduce bugs anywhere and trying to resist them all. The article makes me think the Linux journaling redudancy robustness was not even really a conscious choice, but more a happy accident coming with a simpler design because less effort cound be put in it.

Now maybe simplicity everywhere is actually beneficial for mean robustness, but this will not be true for all particular cases.
Mind altering drugs allows one to glimpse what kind of person one could be if they where e.g more empathetic or less anxious. It can help people better understand such feelings.

I can understand the “true self” narrative, when one loses their constant anxiety for on a trip for example, those feeling suddenly start to feel different in sober life, as if they are no longer a part of you but instead are with you. Hence why you discover your “true self”, who does not have such negative feelings.

I don’t know why you are posting these suppositions when the government measures this directly. The spread between the lowest and highest income quintiles in terms of motor fuel consumption is 300%.

“ The highest income quintile (making at least $95,000 per year) spent slightly more than $4,000 on gasoline in 2013, while the lowest income quintile (making under $18,000 per year) spent about $1,200 on gasoline. Higher-income households also have more vehicles: 2.8 per household for the highest quintile compared with 0.9 per household for the lowest quintile.”
