My guess is amongst the people who set up and used Amazon Smile, the vast majority maintained the belief that Amazon is closer to evil than it is to good.

Smarter for Amazon to pick and choose which charities to spend on so it can virtue signal to the more gullible.
I'd say it's the ability to market yourself.
Doing that serially wouldn't be particularly slow. Most likely 4 devices at most.
You are forgiven for thinking that scientist believe humans caused this warming.

They both do and don't. 97% of scientists DO believe that humans have at least SOME impact. 3% believe humans have Zero impact.

But that doesn't say anything, anything at all. It's a propaganda piece. 97% of scientists COULD believe that warming is 99% natural, and that stat would be technically correct. It simply doesnt have any meaning.

The question that is rarely asked or claimed is what percentage is natural and what percentage is anthropogenic?
Don't be so harsh on yourself.

It seems like your boss maybe didn't hear or properly understand you reaching out for help. It was a brave thing to do, since it shows vulnerability.

But don't be too harsh on your boss either (maybe! I don't know the full situation). I don't know the full situation, but it is possible that when you asked for help maybe he felt like you're complaining about him. So he got defensive. I know that sounds a bit immature, but everyone's a bit immature sometimes.

Also, instead of framing it as pity, think of it as having compassion and understanding for yourself instead. I know it's hard to reframe it if you have a long habit of negative self talk, though (been there done that, and I still sometimes end up there accidentally sometimes)
That’s an interesting idea to automate my complaints.

I seriously doubt the Las Vegas “located” IP with Hong Kong addresses on their registration or Shanghai UCloud Information Technology Company IPs are scanning me for good reasons.

What do you think would happen if I run an older version of plex with a known vulnerability?
"blows my mind that a screwdriver is all it takes to bypass the lock and ignition of a car made in 2016. c’mon, is that really the best we can do?"

Buddy, the same could be said for your insurance coverage. Carrying "liability only" in the second largest city in the USA is an infantile decision.

Other large companies are similar. I worked for one multinational where they only allowed employee donation matching in narrow cases:

- certain large universities

- certain large hospitals

And that's it. I wrote to HR multiple times asking if my local health related charity could be part of their matching donations. Finally got a terse answer saying "no, only the ones on the list."

Some enterprises are so scared of anything remotely resembling controversy that they severely restrict matching, and others just don't offer it at all.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is fantastic about employee matching.
NOPE, THAT WOULD BE WRONG!

Remember, when people like yourself couldn’t imagine how 1 million Americans could die from coronavirus?

“more people died from blah blah blah, than coronavirus “

That went on for about a year, then the message turned to be “there’s nothing we could’ve done “
The complexity involved - across hardware, sensors, and software - is mind boggling, even for this “dumb”, pre-programmed robot. So to me, it makes complete sense to build towards the ultimate goal in a gradual manner.
The entire point of the url restriction was to save money on google search ads and boost costumers starting their search from Amazon first. The search ads savings was what went to charities.
That's pretty neat, but not the same level of portability as SQLite.

Of course I can't say I understand you, but I've had to live with my share of secrets which others can't understand.

I was also born with a genetic disorder, and been going to doctors constantly since birth. Not a heart condition but had likely organ and brain damage so they were always checking my development as if they knew I would never amount to anything. Always on expensive medications and scared of losing insurance too.

Sorry about your parents, my parents are still alive, they helped so much.

I was also homeschooled after age 10, but couldn't even hang out with other kids (they could come over, but I couldn't go to them). And never sleepovers of course.

Dealing with so many limitations I also felt most at home with seniors, couldn't really relate to my peers.

I know I'll die earlier than others, that's fine, I learned to appreciate the time I have more.

I'm also in the very top % income for my age, I can't tell anyone of my friends how much I make besides the ones in similar jobs. Showed those doctors at least.

I've never even met someone with the same condition let alone became friends. And I have other secrets that I'm too paranoid to share.

That's extremely isolating. I just think I'm not meant for love and deep connections/understanding. I have good friends but they can't possibly understand what I've been through to laugh and have drinks together.

Then again, you can say the same thing about other people too, and they still manage to not be lonely.

I also made mistakes sometime, pushed people away because I was so used to being alone. But really what did I do wrong? How is it possible to fix?
I can't decide which is funnier, the fact that you think a fifteen-year-old experience is relevant now, or the fact they had to update the story multiple times because the author kept getting facts wrong. Not exactly a slam dunk on backing up the "most non-profits are a scam" claim.
An apologist is a defender of a philosophy or religion that proceeds by first taking certain (often unprovable) axioms as true without proof (i.e. worldview), then proceeds to defend it vigorously with a veneer of logic.

One can be an apologist for, say, the axiom of choice (an actual axiom), a Neopagan faith, #metoo, etc., regardless of how much evidence is against or for the worldview based upon the assumptions.

You might be confusing correlation as something more substantive
As soon as I started reading the article I realized that "SamaSource" in this case is the same company that was outsourced to help moderate content on Facebook. IMO the point of contention isn't that $2/hr isn't a livable wage in Kenya, is that $2/hr isn't enough when you're talking about looking at vile content for an entire shift. Granted this is ChatGPT so at worst you're tagging vile text rather than tagging vile images and videos.

This raises more of a modal/philosophical question for me which is: should we be outsourcing some of the most vile parts of social media? Is it fair to go to someone in a developing country and offer them a wage lightly above average in exchange for having to look at this content for hours? I have no answers to these questions myself but it's a question I ask when social media companies outsource the content moderation.
Is that not what a named export of a const declared inside a single JS file does, though? e.g. for node, the first time the file is loaded it is evaluated which would assign the const, and then the export is given to all files so unless you have a fun circular dependency you should arrive at exactly one instance.

It's weird because we have far better and more convenient tools for content and presentation now, but we're so lazy that we make poor use of them and so the output is worse.

This was my thinking. The robot in this video replaced a dumb waiter.
There's no way to determine that in an interview, which was the author's example. Interviewers who ask these type of questions are low key manipulative, that prying attitude is incredibly off putting, so presumptuous. If I were getting the sense that I were being judged on my childhood, I'd no way want to work with you. It's a total boomer thing, that casual condescendion. Younger people are much much better attuned to people's boundaries. Honestly, it's kind of frightening, the maturity with which a lot young people already can communicate with.
> consolidate that to fewer charities where it can do some sizable good.

It also gives Amazon much more control over the charity. If you give $1000 to a charity, they are happy and do their thing. If you give a charity $1,000,000 your priorities are going to become their priorities.
The way to do it would be to treat -fp and -nofp as different archs.
Interesting answers in the article with some nuance and history but for most people it was when Windows 95 came out - DOS and Windows 3.1’s winfile[1] utility referred to them as directories. When Windows 95 came out it became folders.

"The fun part of Amazon Smile was that it let customers decide how they wanted to change the world"

The corporate justification part of amazon smile was in the same effort as any charity in purchase which is to make the consumer feel empowered, righteous and moral for the decision to consume a product. Charity tie ins like rainforest donations or carbon offsets are designed to incense consumers to evangelize. They're designed to eliminate buyers remorse returns and blunt the often ever present reality of sweat shop labor. That anyone got real money from this is just a happy side effect.
I disagree with The Bitter Lesson, or at least one particular example that the essay gives: chess programming.

Modern engines would crush Deep Blue with fewer resources and even without NNUE, and this is because of specific search techniques and search improvements that we've discovered. For example: formulas that work well for late-move reduction; continuation history tables and the update formulas that work well for them; internal iterative reductions; refinements to futility pruning, reverse futility pruning, delta pruning, multi-probcut, and so on. None of these were found by meta methods and none of these emerge from scaling computation. But it's also the case that none of them resemble anything that a human does when they play chess.

So I don't think I agree with the first point of the bitter lesson, that general methods beat specific methods, and that scaling beats efficiency. But I do agree with the second point, that performant systems often behave in ways that don't resemble human thinking, and we're often hopeless to personally understand performant systems' complexity.
Sadly, that does happen. I know a couple of people who went through experiences similar to yours. Different ailments, same issue with incompetent/uninformed/lazy/whatever doctors.

In one case the patient had been gaining weight for a couple of years and had other issues despite eating a very restricted diet, exercising, etc. Long story short, it turned out to be a pituitary gland tumor (Cushing's syndrome). This was diagnosed at UCLA by an expert in the field. One surgery later and she was back to normal weight (half the prior weight almost) within a year and feeling healthy. The other doctors had her on a path to nothing good and potentially a short life.

Thankfully bad doctors like these aren't the norm. Yes, of course, as a patient, being informed is super important. Nobody is going to care more about you, your kids, your family than you.

The problem with google searches happens with scenarios like a patient insisting on getting Hydroxychloroquine because they found it online or heard someone recommend it.
OK. But the Sea of Bothnia is getting shallower too.

In the early 2000s there was a person at Indiana U who also did this. You had to get any dissertation approved by her before printing. And there was a ruler. Are PDFs accepted for dissertations yet?

If in 2009 you served 480p videos that was fine, now you have to serve 4k or you will look like a tool. Various grumbling about JS bloat is optional.
With some work, it could probably even replace a smart one.
The business case problem is solely a capability problem. Flexibility is hugely valuable and would make a capable humanoid robot way more valuable than traditional automation in plenty of applications.

But Atlas just can't do anything useful without decent hands. And it seems to me like the mechanical problems and control problems for hands are actually much harder than for legs. Boston Dynamics doesn't have much going on there yet, at least in public.
They care when they want to.
I think that's more or less what happened, I don't blame them. Just demonstrating that understanding yourself and expressing yourself clearly are necessary but not sufficient to be understood and to feel seen.

Using MySQL, Percona xtrabackup is very helpful. We do daily backups that are exported to multiple cloud and local storage via rsync and a commercial backup application.
We have a fully automated script that can recreate the db from one of these backups in a single command so it can be tested on a regular basis.
I think for atlas (and similar robots) to be widely useful[1], you basically need AGI. You need to be able to explain it the task with words as you would a human, and be able to do it by itself. Otherwise if it requires a significant effort to program each task, it's just easier to have a human. If the task is very narrow, you might as well use traditional robotics.

I think the current hardware is more than enough to replace a human for a huge number of tasks, if it had AGI capabilities.

The imperial system is also European. fwiw Canada did the changeover to metric in the 70 and took about a decade and I’m rather glad we did it.
I think the 10x concept is generally misrepresented - writing _code_ 10x as fast is possible, but not really important. It's people that _solve problems_ in a tenth the time that we're really talking about. And if you're not watching the numbers carefully, it just looks like every problem they walk up to happened to be easy instead.
Serious question - what has she achieved for her constituents that is so great? Home affordability in NZ is worse than ever, cost of living has increased faster than comparible countries.

NZ did however managed COVID well-enough in part achieved through some of the harshest lockdowns in the world and the fact that NZ has a small low density population with relatively few international ports.

Recently I was trying to take a picture of my sleeping cat. I used the double tap power button shortcut to open the camera as I normally do, but it didn't show up for some reason so I did the shortcut again. The phone started a loud siren and showed a countdown to calling 911. I was able to stop it before the call went out, but suffice to say capturing the peaceful moment was no longer possible.

My crappy 10 year old Civic got stolen from in front of my apartment on the day of my wedding reception. My wife freaked out but I wasn't phased too much - she still praises me for it - and called the police for the report, and a friend for a ride. We had a great party that day and a fun topic to discuss at it. Anyhow, the car was found few days later in a really bad part of town, but police didn't call us that quick like they did this lucky recipient of vinyl, so it was re-stolen from the place it was dropped off.

About 40 days later after my insurance written it off and the police called and said come pick it up from a junkyard. It had someone else's license places, and was severely damaged after a full-front hit on the telephone pole after apparently a high-speed police chase. Who runs away from the police in a Honda Civic?! Anyhow, even though it was hit hard in front, the airbag never engaged, so I guess I am glad it wasn't me. There was blood inside everywhere, clearly the two people who were inside were quite hurt. Anyhow, I opened the trunk to get my jumper cables and lo and behold - tools! in pretty good toolbags, too! Decent looking respirators! Strange chemicals! Lots of ammonia in large jugs! A wallet with lots of stolen checks in it. A small bag with some dude's underwear. But my old set of jumper cables is, alas, gone...

I brought everything home, including (perhaps stupidly? certainly my wife thought so) ammonia and powdered chemicals. As I discovered the powder stuff lye and clearly this was all meth-making equipment. The undies had to go, but I kept some of the tools and respirators. I freecycled ammonia. We made some soap out of lye, so that was helpful.

The people who stole it were put in jail for various offences for a couple of years, including stealing my car. The court asked me if I had any claims and I said naah, I don't want to add to someone's bad life choices... Then , except for the $500 insurance deductible, which they deducted from his jail wages for next 3 years, and kept sending me small checks for like $19.28 or $8.78 every few months. The checks followed me to another house even though I completely forgot to update the address with the court (nice) and stopped right at $500.
Every time I try to use cool Firefox features and extensions to manage privacy, I wind up frustrated and lost in thought about just how good Firefox could be, if someone with vision and benevolent dictator status took charge.

1. Unify all of the various settings, addons, downloads, bookmark dialogs. They should all just be tabs, with consistent style. I should be able to "nav" to the others easily, and they should probably open as new tabs.

2. Multi-Account Container support baked in. This "containers are built in but borderline useless without more functionality from an addon" is... not great. It also means that no one seemingly "owns" containers to be able to do things like -- have static identifiers/ordering so that containers are actually portable.

3. There are Cookie management extensions, but the best is many years out of date and missing some obvious nice UX features. Many don't take into account containers. It's unclear what backup/restoring my settings will do here given, again, container identifiers don't map across Firefox instances, even when using Sync.

Imagine a Firefox with proper container + cookie management support built in. The same way I have this one Firefox instance tweaked, I could declaratively or Firefox-Sync-ly have the same settings for all of my Firefox instances. Even just some tab+session sync would make my life a lot easier. I've theorized about using SyncThings and "locks" to have a single Firefox profile ACTUALLY shared across machines, but that sounds like too much fighting against momentum.

I have a "money" container, my money apps open there, their cookies are whitelisted for that container, so I can start to "clear all cookies" and know that for certain sites, in certain containers, their cookies are whitelisted. This is ideal for privacy - I get to whitelist what stays, I get to isolate, I get to clear the rest of the trash at my whim.

I love Firefox, but I kinda hate it. I just don't hate it as much as I do Chrome (though, god forbid Chrome ever get proper Tree Style Tabs, it might be over). I just lament how good it COULD BE.

---

Ironically, I feel like the existence of a FB specific container extension is... exactly proof that Firefox itself left something on the table.

I don't want to excuse your ex-friend's behavior, but I'm afraid a lot of people have no idea how to be of use to a friend who's going through such an episode.

Suggestions to those who don't know what to do:

Can I take you out to lunch? I found a new spot I think you might like.

Want to go to <nearby park> and take a walk?

Want to play catch?

Want to come over for dinner?

I was hung up for a long time because I don't know how to solve any serious personal problems, so I thought I couldn't be of any use. But just being there for someone, inviting them to something nice, and being a good listener can help. And it might be enjoyable for you, too.

Unbounded spinning is absolutely disastrous when cores are oversubscribed. If their spin locks are really unbounded, this does not belong in production.
With a strong emphasis on "occasionally". The vast majority of doctors and hospitals (the overwhelming majority) are good and medicine is too complex for most people to understand. I see how hard my wife works to keep up with the latest medicines, research, treatments and developments in her field. It's on part with what any top-level hardware or software engineer has to do on a daily basis to be informed and remain relevant. The exception is: We don't generally kill people if we make a mistake.

In other words, yes, being informed is good. Everyone should dig as deep as their education allows them to when it comes to their own medical needs. However, at the end of the day, it is impossible (and unwise) to pretend that this can substitute for a real doctor. We are talking about good doctors here, not the few at the bottom of the barrel who would have better-served society by choosing a different career.
