IIUC we're generally talking about full base salary in the case of financial-industry "garden leave", though obviously missing out on the possibility of bonus payments could really sting for many in that business. And obviously being "out of the game" for a significant amount of time can hurt, especially if you're in an area where things are changing quickly.
I don't know whether it's true, but I've often heard the theory that California's no-noncompetes is what made it so startup-friendly originally.

Once the dotcom boom started, people were saying go to the SF Bay Area for startups, because that's where the investors are.

There was a sandbox but it never behaved like the prod environments. To the point I had to have a flag to tell my order entry code if we were being certified in the sandbox or actually trading in prod.

I’ve heard that got better after they replaced the gateways with fpga but don’t know for sure.
You should make your website work without JavaScript.
That's not at all a logical/technical argument - it's just further lazy speculation to claim that only reason designers don't take these obvious actions to improve their product is because "x86 ISA sucks". As pointed out it is hard enough to get obvious things done when there is one company and 3 org units involved - let alone a CPU vendor, an OEM, a BIOS vendor and SoC with 10 other chips by different OEMs. Oh and after that the OS vendor.
I am really happy about cheap model Y Europe in Germany. Even with that crippled range and acceleration. I ordered Kia EV6 10 months ago and have no idea when it arrives. No communication from Kia at all. List price increased by 3200€ since I signed contract. Makes me sad and willing to cancel my order. I hate being treated like shit for years by a car company. After cancellation I will seriously consider purchasing model Y. It’s big enough for small family and should cover my driving needs for a week on a single charge.
New CV item: "Zero losses during the global financial crisis" :-)
> Who says they are giving the police "unlimited power"?

Unlimited power to shut down protests. In other words, they will shut down all protests (not the other possible meanings).

> "The change would broaden and clarify the legal definition of “serious disruption” and allow police to consider protests by the same group on different days or in different places as part of the same wider action."

This will be used by police to view every protest as some "wider action", with the worst possible implications, and they'll act accordingly.

> And what power source would you use to move that massive ship, and keep the light and heat on between stars? (Antimatter, I guess?)

Fusion. If nobody made it obvious until now, well, fusion is the ultimate interstellar power source. Fuel is everywhere, the ISP is huge (a few orders of magnitude smaller than antimatter, but well, antimatter doesn't exist everywhere), and it's far from the hardest thing to build for a ship like that.

Anyway, there is still space to cut orders of magnitude on the cost-to-orbit. But you are correct in that none of that will solve any of our current problems.

>The tech industry in Mass us there because of the universities. It doesn't have to do with non competition agreements.

That's pretty much my point. The presence of non-competes did not prevent the development of a tech industry in MA. And, while VC funding is about 20% of CA's, MA+NY+CA have far more VC than any other states--and NY and MA together have more than half of CAs funding.

Those two states collectively also have a lot of different kinds of "tech" that are far less represented in CA such as fintech and biotech/pharma.

We're talking about venues with a massive number of customers and a blacklist, so I fail to see why a casino is special for the purposes of this discussion. If you go back and re-read the article a bit more attentively, I think you'll find examples from the early 20th century onward of this having been a problem. Without agreeing or disagreeing with the idea that such venues (whether casinos or concert halls, the distinction being irrelevant at least to me) ought to be summarily disallowed to ban customers - nothing changed with facial recognition other than their ability to do this a bit better. At least I can still grow a beard or put on one of those funky anti-recognition glasses from Hong Kong, though I think I won't try that at a casino.

The pace at which Ladybird is evolving is impressive, both LibWeb and LibJS. I've never seen anything like it. The amount of work needed to make a browser work is uncanny and they're making it look easy (it's not).

I was around when webkit browsers started to appear. Back then, the engine was leveraging almost a decade of work on KHTML. It wasn't something pulled out of thin air. All popular browsers nowadays have their roots in 90's and early 2000's codebases.

Servo is a very cool project as well, I'm rooting for them!
This is not a price DROP. Tesla JACKED up prices on ALL models last year and people forgot about it and now TESLA just went back to the original prices. I been following them since 2016 and they have done this in 2018 with the MODEL S / X P100DL. Exact same shit happened with the first tax credit around 2017 with the release of the MODEL 3. I been scraping their inventory and you can plot the price changes and their used inventory prices are UPSIDE DOWN. Nothing new tesla normal behavior its just that a LOT of news outlets forget this that do not FOLLOW the price volatility. I am now thinking to do a youtube channel to lay it out. -2cents
I bought one four months ago. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger if I didn't think I was getting my money's worth.

I wonder if there's a way to identify audio from speakers. IT might not work for higher end speakers or lower end microphones, but I'm sure the limited frequency range from speakers, and perhaps artifacts of audio compression that might not be noticeable to humans, would identify non-human audio. I've seen a similar approach used for visuals, separating an image at the point of recording based on the type of light source – artificial light having different properties to natural light.

This is a "leader", which is the British name for an opinion piece. Its job is not to explain the news to you. As with most newspaper opinion pieces, it's a reaction to something in the news that you are expected to know about, or at least be able to look up.

As a subscriber, I think this is how it should be. There have been a zillion articles about this FTC action going back at least to June. Part of what I value about The Economist is its pithy, punchy writing and its assumption of a competent, numerically literate audience. Having to spoon-feed the basics in every leader would be tedious both for them and for its subscribers.
Yeah, that’s a reasonable argument, thanks. OTOH 10 years is a long time, also business strategies and needs change.

Just chalking it off to “Elmo does stupid” is cheap IMHO
So what you're thinking is if the US AG gets involved with AirBNB all these issues will magically disappear? It sounds like what might be needed is different housing policies. Our area bans short term rentals period (AirBNB, Vrbo or even private) and the issues have decreased significantly. It's also freed up more housing in our area alleviating the housing crisis (a little).
I think that's all needlessly complicated. This is just market economics 101. There was a huge boom in demand over the past two years (used Teslas were literally selling for more than new ones because they had "stock"!) and the price rose to catch up. Now the economy is cooling and inventories are rising, so the price is dropping.

FWIW: the same Model Y configuration that I purchased in early 2021 is still $1000 more than the price I paid (actually quite a bit more if you buy FSD, which is $5k more than it was on mine). It's not like these are fire sale prices. They got very expensive very fast, and that's being unwound just as fast.
Except for Motif/Athena, everything under my GNU/Linux setup uses the "blackwater-dim" GTK2/3/QT5 and the Chicago 95 theme thanks to qt5ct, among the Metal2 IceWM theme closeish to early 00's Java look. Best of worlds. A highly usable window border, keybindings, solid widget themings and virtual desktops.
And as Musk pointed out, back in the days when Tesla raised prices, no customer who got the prior low price volunteered to send Tesla a check for the difference.
It’s important to note that you cannot change who you are.

>once you hand over legitimately purchased tickets to people, you shouldn't be able to deny them entry because of anything that happened prior to the purchase.

Even if something happened prior to the purchase and I learn about it after the purchase? That seems oddly arbitrary.
The milestone comes months away from finally releasing staking-locked funds, which amount to more than 16 million ETH. About 12% of all circulating ETH is in staking.
Granian is more of a web server for python that just happens to be implemented in Rust. Python developers using Granian wouldn't need to know or write any Rust, just like they don't need to know or write any C in order to use python modules that just happen to have C components to make them faster. The module containing substantial Rust code is merely an implementation detail.
> Is it that businesses should be allowed to bar people as long as they don't use technology to do so? How would that account for different businesses having wildly different enforcement capabilities?

The issue is that the larger/cheaper the enforcement capabilities, the more likely frivolous bans are to be handed out.

Being able to implement small scale bans is reasonable including a "refuse the right to bar from service for any reason" type clause (which is obviously overridden by any protected groups legislation), but once implementing a permanent ban for large groups is a few clicks in a dashboard there's an issue.

Came here to say this. Tensors are the wrong level of abstraction, because they're just matrices, which are just arrays.

The best tool I've used for vector/matrix processing is MATLAB (or GNU Octave, which is free but without as many libraries). To say I'm disappointed that these never gained the same traction as Python would be an understatement.

Unfortunately, these tools all suffer from a lack of insight from programmers. We abstract whenever possible, but for whatever reason, academics have a certain expectation that the user learn the entire system before starting. I believe that's why functional programming never quite caught on. That egocentric view infects everything from Mathematica/WolframAlpha to UNIX.

I prefer other models. For example, I don't feel that anyone has explored genetic algorithms under the Actor model yet. Which severely limits how fast the user can explore a problem space. Part of that is due to hardware. A GPU may present itself as having X number of teraflops or whatever, but only have something like 64 cores and no API to access them directly like a CPU. Which limits it to a paltry number of environments and/or automatons to evolve.

A better architecture would be something like 1024+ symmetric cores with a unified copy-on-write, content-addressable memory accessible through ordinary C desktop programming and orchestrated with something like Docker. Then we could explore auto-parallelization with languages like Julia and Clojure, possibly even Rust. I've written about that extensively throughout the years, but there's still been no change to the status quo, so I've all but given up on that. I do see a small hope with RISC-V on FPGA though.

The somewhat ironic thing is that AI is evolving so quickly that it's passed the Turing test now for the masses. We only have maybe 5-20 years before it solves all problems better than us. So it's an odd feeling for me to have waited 20 years with no progress on the hardware that I needed to do what I wanted to do, only to make the thing I wanted to do irrelevant anyway. That's the challenge we all face now as play is automated by AI while we still have to go to work and pay rent within a 20th century Matrix reality. I hope we find a way to reverse that trend before we're too old to care anyway.

Zoom is limited. It's not infinite zoom. How do I move through the level in Z direction? I saw a video mention WASD keys but it didn't work for me. In unreal you can fly through the level using mouse and keyboard. WASD is cardinal direction and mouse is camera rotation. In godot mouse wheel zooms the camera, but I couldn't find a way to 'move' the camera in Z.
They both use Qualcomm chips. The smaller model uses a QCS2290, which appears to support GPS, so I suspect the larger model does as well.

Can't prove if it's true of all software. But examples of categories of this type seem to exist. Linux and blender are two examples.

I am curious if you tried something like langchain[1] it would solve the problem of not remembering previous conversations. In one of the examples people have used an entire company notion database on top of GPT-3 to answer questions specifically from that database.

Usually the fairness that people seek in these situations is just the desire to dump the unfairness on someone else. E.g. the demand to extend the discount to 3-month old purchases ignores the fact that the people who bought a car 3 months and 1 day ago will feel more upset and wronged.

Mea culpa. Thanks for pointing out my error.
IIRC Godot is made in Godot, so if you're looking to build a tool like Godot, it's a good fit. For a CLI application? Not so much.
Not the original prices, actually. They're back to where they were in mid-pandemic. And "JACKED" is a bit spun. It was the market for used Teslas that drove the price increases. They got way above the retail prices; people were actually scalping Teslas. Someone was going to make that money, it might as well be the manufacturer.
I think there is a subtlety here.

I believe that forms of protest that inconvenience the public should both happen, and be illegal.

What that means is that a significant mass of people is then required.

If you have ten or twenty people walking slowly down a road and as a result tens of thousands of people are inconvenienced then obviously the police should step in. If they don't, then members of the public will do instead, as we've seen.

If an issue is actually important enough then you'll be able to recruit enough people that they won't be removable without resorting to extreme force anyway. In that case the protest is far more likely to be for a legitimate cause.
The key term missing from this click bait title is "... in the workforce", specifically "in the respective industry".
I am also reminded of the Star Trek version of technology as a tool vs technology influencing you. With the later being very profitable, be it economically or for political power. Its really up to everyone of us to create alternatives to fall back on. And that includes use cases that can function with worse quality chatbots.
SSD failure. If the SSD dies in a M-series Mac the machine is a brick, can't even boot off an external

This is common misunderstanding.

Tagged templates in js allow you to write safe, injection free sql templates, tsql does exactly that.

Performance is better if anything, but irrelevant - you're talking about sql rendering performance, which is several orders of magnitude lower than invoking query?

You should double check it. See examples of usage. We use it for mssql but same principles apply to other vendors. Mssql has many interesting things in its dialect that can't be expressed in orm. With templates you simply write sql and aid yourself with functional combinators for complex statements. It works really well.
Indeed if you hibernated in early 2021 and just woke up, the prices would look kind of same.

But the other side of the coin is also interesting. Up to six months ago, they couldn't make them fast enough when they were selling the cars for $15-20k more. Now the inventory is piling even with incentives and discounts.
>We're talking about venues with a massive number of customers and a blacklist, so I fail to see why a casino is special for the purposes of this discussion.

A casino has totally different security needs than MSG, and is subject to significantly different types of laws. And if your point was true, then it's something that MSG would have done. They didn't. Full stop.

>If you go back and re-read the article a bit more attentively, I think you'll find examples from the early 20th century onward of this having been a problem

Your rudeness aside, I did read the article. Those examples aren't comparable because they did not happen on the scale we are discussing here (paralegals from the firm that aren't even on the case? that wouldn't be identifiable were it not for a firm's website, and linkedIn?). Sorry but you are demonstrating a lack of credible judgment and reasoning by the means of your arguments, which are specious and lacking in reasonable judgment. Your counterexamples are purposefully obtuse as to remove the meaningful distinctions between the things we are comparing. I have no reason to believe this has occurred for any reason aside from your own purpose.
