Maybe I'm getting it wrong, but what's the problem in Google flagging this bug as "won't fix"? It's the third party driver that has a bug, not their software. Once the bug is fixed by the third party then automatically it will be fixed for Google.

Maybe the author has a stricter and more negative definition of "won't fix" so it sounded wrong to him?
> I put some of the responsibility on the people who created it and promoted it's use in the first place.

While there was a little bit of questionable marketing around some forms of fentanyl it was mostly around for the ride - the real blockbuster drugs leading to the medical establishment opioid crisis were hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol. Making fentanyl a scapegoat is misplaced.

The opioid epidemic did not need a "super heroin".

> It's naive to think we could make "super heroin" and it would stay restricted to safe, controlled medical environments

It's naive to think organized crime cartels would not have figured it out anyway.

Do you have any references that support this lack of support? Everything I have ever read points to a general acceptance as being a modern and scientific theory if not a direct moral imperative at that time. It wasn’t until the results of WWII were unpacked and civil rights debated was it really revisited on a humanist basis. I would be genuinely glad to read material that refutes this.
None of this surprises me and I mostly laugh out loud when any manager or leader waxes poetically about employees not being loyal like the old days but it's still shocking that these companies aren't seeing it.

How much more effort would it have taken to work on internal relocation for these loyal employees?

How much more time would it have taken to have someone reach out to them personally?

What is the net result to the mystical loyalty these execs cry themselves to sleep at night over losing?

So, I'll just continue to laugh when anyone asks me about loyalty and I'll continue to be mercenary as fuck.

Thanks you Millennials and GenZ for waking me up years ago to this one way street.
My point was that if voters had to eat their own medicine they wouldn't encumber new entrants to rules they themselves are immune to. I didn't seriously think they would vote to raze their own (previously immune) houses.
It’s a magazine. Many magazines have a readers’ letter section, an opinion column, a short story, … and in case of science magazines, the short stories are traditionally science fiction.
I was reluctant to as well, it's part of the "why don't you just focus" narrative we've heard for years. My therapist said, "You're a gamer, why do you want to play life on hard mode when most people are on normal mode?"
> 43% are now monthly podcast listeners, up from 39% in 2021

The number of people listening isn't a proxy for _how much_ they are listening. Nor is the number of times they listen per month. What matters is the number of hours listened.

It's also the case that with more shows, there's a dilution of listeners' time. There's a pretty firm cap on the number of hours of podcasts that people can listen to. It's easy for folks to dig their heels in on one or two favorite shows and stop listening to the rest of the ones they had previously been interested in.

> There are countless podcasts whose listens have grown substantially since 2019.

I have known quite a few friends from earlier in my life who became serious addicts and ruined their lives or ended their lives by it. I would not describe a single one as having started using because they were mad at society, sad, or lonesome. It was always some strange kind of strange, arrogant fetishization of drug-life and crime-life. There is an almost "drug life is THE life, and everyone else is lame" attitude in many circles, and I got a little too close to comfort to falling into it at one point in my life.

This doesn't mean there aren't a hundred reasons people get trapped in drugs. But a very real one is just because many people come to believe it's cool and tough, and end up fetishizing it until it's too late to get out. And like I said, in my hometown, this was the predominant reason.
It is incredible how much of the human mind is centered around orientation and direction. It makes sense from an evolutuonary perspective, but there have been studies about how quickly the skill atrophies without use.

I believe it is a valuable skill to maintain or develop. Kids most obviously develop it now through games like Minecraft, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a correlation between navigational skills and general memory ability.
Sure. There's a famous recent book about it

Regardless what you think of the text, even the most stubborn critics agree the classical claims lack critical support.

You don't have to assume communism. A world requiring lots of labor to do basic things with lots of diseases and death being common is alien to us. I don't realistically need to worry about wild animals, water access, food availability, or succumbing to unfortunate weather.

DNA studies show that human population may have been as low as 2,000, on the brink of extinction 70,000 years ago.

This time period is so vast we're talking neanderthals and a bunch of other hominids.

It's a wildly different structure. There was lots of diversity. I assumed no social structure in my claims and showed that regardless of social structure, that pattern would arise as an artefact of the biology of childbirth.

If you can demonstrate the delta is larger than biologically expected, then you have something to back structural claims. But that's you know, actual academic work that would take a month or twenty. We aren't going to resolve that here. The childbirth argument was the easy one.
There is a clear Abuse Report link in the bottom of the main page and every download page for DMCA or related abuses that are listed in the ToS.
The good thing about all of this is that the law doesn't really matter. People will complain about copyright, but the tech is here and the law will follow.

Does anyone really thing this anti-Copilot case has a chance of winning when my guess is that Copilot adoption is exponential over time.

Strongest counter argument is the Supreme Court struck down abortion even though abortion was rising in popularity. So that's a bit worrisome.
About a year ago I received a 3000E payment for a job from a freelance client, which PayPal put on hold for 30 days. I simply returned the money and told the client to pay me in crypto or we will not work together anymore, and they did (they were very reticent before). I simply cannot put up with Paypal's BS anymore.
If I'm understanding this, the Codex model like code-davinci-002 and limited to 10-20 requests per minute on OpenAI, is now "generally" available through "Azure OpenAI Service" BUT

- you still have to apply to https://customervoice.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?...

- you will be rejected if you use a personal email address

- you will be rejected if you are not a "managed customer"

- you will be rejected if.. Microsoft thinks you are a real competitor to any of their products?

So my site aidev.codes is will be dead in the water if I can't navigate these things or afford the "managed" part. What is that? I don't know what a "managed customer" is but I assume its very expensive.

I mean, this is really the opposite of Open.

Or am I missing something? Is it really generally available and they took all of that stuff off?

> Netflix is in serious trouble due to their lack of quality content.

People say this often, but I have never seen it manifested in a viewership chart. Just using Nielsen data as an example, Netflix absolutely dominates the Top 10 chart, with 7/10 of the programs:

https://www.nielsen.com/top-ten/

Anecdotally, when traveling outside the US, Netflix & Disney are really the only providers I have seen have any kind of footprint.

Is there any data to back up the "content quality" complaint, or is it just a personal preference?
If you're doing lots of writes it will not wear out the same way an SSD would. Also it's very fast, but these days not as fast as the best NVMe SSDs you can buy now.
Optane has insane write endurance. Speed is good as well. It is expensive for sure but I guess it can be justified for
some database use.
There used to (maybe still are) PATA SSDs from a brand called King Spec on Amazon that I have used in a number of machines. I have used them in a G3 PowerBook (Lombard), a Sony VAIO laptop, and an IBM ThinkPad. These are all just for funsies machines so I make no claims of those drives' reliability. I don't have any irreplaceable data on any of those drives.
well said my friend (both of which produce VoCs) - this made my day a little bit better
The "Mickey Mouse shit machine" (to quote Rick and Morty) never loved to produce content. They love to make money with endless sequels.
Well the technology does more things that a conventional proxy, I'd say it's a proxy with batteries Included. I love the gateway term and the great similarity to API gateways; very relatable.
Older software tends to do far less 'background' stuff.

Whenever I run old OS's in virtualbox, I'm surprised that even doing lots of stuff for a week rarely results in more than a few GB's of writes.

So I don't think your concern is an issue for the typical case in practice. Obviously there'll be corner cases, but I haven't hit those yet.
You don’t think the outcome of WWII might have changed minds and hearts instead? Most literature I’ve read was eugenics became deeply unpopular following a realization of what the Nazis had done.

> Do they really want to try and take on Stripe, Apple Pay, Shopify, etc?

Is the answer "they did when the Federal Reserve had interest rates at 0.25%" and now that interest rates are currently are 4.5% headed toward potentially 5%+ and/or just staying in the 4-5% range for at least 6-12 months "no"?

Somebody (multiple people?) obviously signed off on investing resources into this in the first place. How long ago, I'm not sure. Could some clairvoyantly even back then that this would get scraped? No clue, I have no internal leg up/leak/data.

Why was the answer yes then (yes = invest in it) and now, when they have a finished-ish product, no (no = don't try to internally compete with Stripe)?
Just wanted to circle back and say some of my friends and I have been using this for our 'radio' at our desk on a daily basis and it's just awesome. The accuracy to the prompt isn't always 100% there, but I honestly like how much new music that's somewhat style-adjacent that kind of mismatch is introducing me to.

Hopefully we aren't running up a giant bill on your GPU instances...let me start paying for this every month!
The argument then becomes how to interpret "Open", not that you both agree.

If they keep publishing their research, then OpenAI seems like a fine name to me.
You really have to go nuts with the writes to break a modern SSD. I don't think the bandwidth is even high enough to do so on purpose on a older machine.

> Older people tend to have accumulated more wealth than those just starting out.

Which has been true since the dawn of value exchange. That's part of why the outcry against "inequality" citing differences in income between a 20-year veteran of some career versus a new entrant in the market are so tough to swallow.

Wait twenty years... they'll be the same... Unless we change the rules to take it all away from everyone.

It should really say all-Google in the title, as it's otherwise confusing to read. The article even uses all-Google in the first paragraph - but not the title, oddly.
No such thing as an all Google phone. Trying to market the latest pixels as "Google silicon" is a complete joke. Not only the SoCs used are mildly customized Samsung Exynos, they are also terrible at performance and battery life even by Android standards.
Their say does matter.

It matters exactly as much as my say.

It just so happens that their opinions are unpopular.

Not at all a fan of using unescaped character sequences to represent non-latin characters. Ultimately, this leads to situations where you have to resort to some hack to write something that coincides with one of these special names.

Not to mention, this restricts extending the language for special use cases. Suddenly, you discover that you have to throw away the entire thing and resort to a math-typographically-complete language like Latex to write what you want to write.

The ones who get screwed with layoffs aren't just the ones who let go. They're the ones who have to stay and clean up the mess afterwards. Also it opens up the floodgates to the possibility of further layoffs, where you might still get screwed.
As a kid on many a roadtrip in the 80s, I have a special fondness for triptiks. It gave me something to focus on and it gave my parents some peace as I quietly studied maps. I have a vivid memory of going to AAA before a roadtrip where someone would walk us through the route they chose.

However, it's all nostalgia. There is nothing about them that I would've preferred over a phone or tablet with working internet, had they been a thing back then.
> I wonder if GCP has been fishing for stripe's business?

That would make a lot of sense: they mention increasing their use of AWS and this is something that neither Google nor Microsoft could really match as the carrot for an exclusive commitment. Stripe is already pretty big but being able to say Amazon trusts them with payments is a pretty strong sales pitch.

In theory, building inspections at each stage of construction should find omissions and other non conformance while it's economic to fix them. I do acknowledge that building inspections have a lot of issues, one of which is different inspector, different rules, and a later stage inspector may have you redo something the earlier stage inspector said was fine (sometimes, even with the same inspector!), but the idea is there. I've heard that locally, a lot of inspections are done by video conference now, and contractors find that goes a lot faster and more direct. Not sure if that'll stay post-covid.

It's also difficult to know what's on the inside of built houses (which is why inspection is supposed to happy during construction, not after). Commercial buildings often have both plans and as-built drawings; but residential buildings don't, and when you get on-site and the plan doesn't match the house, you really don't know what's in the walls. Some sort of government driven new code compliance inspection for existing housing stock seems really expensive. Even public use buildings take a long time to get code compliance updates, such as retrofits on unreinforced masonry buildings in many places, and there's both more risk and more enforcement power for public use buildings.
They give these out in NYC, but make a point to say that the test strips won't catch everything. So still be really careful if you go this route.

Historically, the Nix ecosystem has arguably suffered a bit due to competing conventions throughout. Often, there have been many competing tools in the same space, and few standard, blessed conventions/interfaces.

'Opinionated' here means that the authors are trying to spare newbies from the 'paralysis by analysis' problem by making some (defensible) choices about what conventions to use on the reader's behalf up front.

These docs are going to 'lead' the official docs in the sense of coming out first because making things official will involve standardizing some of the interfaces used here and solidifying more consensus around them. (There is lots of organizational and technical work happening around that right now. You can follow along by looking for the minutes of various community team meetings on NixOS Discourse and following links from there, if you're curious.)
After being annoyed by most online json formatters out there, I decided to build a simple keyboard-driven one. One of the main things that I was looking for was to have it easily accessible, without the need to open new browser tabs or programs that I might need later like vscode so I enabled PWA for it.

When I noticed https://jsonformatter.com domain was not used I sent an email to the owner and he actually agreed to host my app since it was open source.

There are other people using it right now, but I enjoy using it every time I need to make a json more readable.
It's interesting to see how the language changed over time from "foreign born" to illegal immigrant depending on who was doing the immigrating:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=illegal+immigr...

Look at the amount of legal immigration:

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/ann...

There have been plenty of people who have been in this country without appropriate paperwork historically - they were never called illegals (see above). In fact even now people make differentiations between "visa overstayers" and people who snuck across the border, even though both are technically illegal aliens.

I think you don't have to go far to see the implications.
I hope so. My battery life is terrible and I can't get apple to do anything about it because "Battery health is above 80%". I've tried everything, turned off almost all notifications, turned off LTE when not needed, turned on every power saving thing I could and it still dies 5 hours earlier than it use to. I'm over it.
If the manufacturers and regulators were more concerned with human lives than making money, they would have quietly buried the research. It may have entered the illegal market eventually, but there wouldn't be factories producing large quantities of the drug like there are now.

They should have known that an opioid 50 times more potent, deadlier, and more addictive than heroin would be responsible for the worst drug epidemic the world has ever seen.
The issue is making money. There are lots of low budget movies with good plots that don’t make money (or not a lot of it). While at the same time, they can make the 5th sequel to some shitty comic book video and almost guarantee a few hundred million in profits. Of course movies can tank, but generally they are not stupid and the accounts have it figured out.
I think I'd be more comfortable with it if the folks using PFAS had to pay into a fund to handle cleanup / treatment of folks affected.

Some finish materials are much worse. Small (by modern standards) ordinary middle-class homes in, say, the 1950s, had the kind of interior and exterior doors, and baseboards/molding, that'd be considered luxury-tier today. Even big expensive McMansions usually don't have doors and molding that nice, now. The higher end might get the luxury-tier front door... maybe. But any back or side doors won't be that nice, and usually not the interior doors, either. Totally normal houses were still getting solid-wood molding and baseboards as a matter of course into the early 90s, while now it's almost unheard of unless you pay a huge premium for a custom job during construction.

Very nice wood floors used to be more common, too. Very nice by modern standards, anyway—normal, then. "Very nice" back then would have been ultra-luxe now, like fancy patterns or parquet or something.

Basically, decent wood has become incredibly expensive. Almost all our lumber sucks now, unless you pay crazy-high prices. So things like nice solid-wood doors are impractically expensive unless you salvage them (and then you have the problem of sizing and constructing framing for them, rather than for standard frame-included modern doors)
