My thoughts exactly. If this guy was going through so much trouble to stalk someone over six months, a fine isn't going to stop him. He probably considers it to be a worthy cost for his obsession.

A part of me feels that this guy should be humiliated and beat to within inches of his own life. His behavior certainly deserves that, in a karmic sense. But that probably isn't the best way to protect the victim here. Probably the best way is some sort of custodial sentence, house arrest/monitoring, and compulsory therapy and/or medication.
I wish they would make the Pro version less filtered and less apologetic about only being a language model.

Even it's a bit annoying, I do understand them trying to limit what the free, public facing model will answer but I'd say it'd be a pretty fair expectation to get more leeway for the Pro version.
>The “rule” seems to be that if you can somehow see the outside and it’s not separated by a door/window, then you’re “outside” and can smoke… Smoking right in front of entrances and windows is a national sport

This is true in most of Europe to varying degrees. You often see people standing just inside of a doorway, with one hand technically "outside" while they are smoking. Or quickly inhaling a cigarette as a bus/train approaches, and then exhaling it on the bus/train.
To add to your last point: look at the optimised assembly and see if your code actually does contain branches. The compiler can see through certain if statements and replace them with cmov instructions. Replacing that with a complex sequence of arithmetic to get rid of the 'if' might make performance worse rather than better.

Most companies prefer some attrition to keeping everybody up to date with the crazy run that the software eng market has been in the past 10+ years. Reality is, if your company is good place to work at otherwise, most people won't start looking for a new job only because it could pay 20-30% more. And, at the same time, in many companies payroll is the biggest cost, so if you can keep it lower by that 20-30%, it will have huge effect on the bottom line.

60GB in a windows 98 machine is honestly huge in an era when a 20GB IBM HDD sold for $440 in 1998-1999 pre inflation currency. Equivalent to about $785 today.
Unfortunately that's often a result of administration. He does have notable ownership of how certain things are, and you do see his bias peak through in many different ways.

You mention the "chilling effect" that does exist, and you aren't the only one, I've seen a lot of comments like yours not just on this site, but on pretty much any site that sees any advocacy for the Rust they promote.

I think there might be some value in filtering through something like a GreaseMonkey extension; which I've been debating for a good while if i should just make. Simply allow to remove listings from the HN page that inlude 'blacklisted' domains and filter key words. Such as "rust" in the title would see a removal.

But yeah, I think there is a place for Rust, just not where we see it for the most part, and i am increasingly bothered by the issues it presents for the Linux community (which was disregarded by the article posted hilariously enough, they can't even show respect for the communities they cause issues for, a core inidicator of narccistic behavior).
Sure, credit card tracking is much easier, but I wouldn't call the "most difficult" nature of cash to be all that difficult, certainly not for a state actor that heavily regulates its banks.

It was the other way around. Dick had constant harping claims that Lem was a communist committee invention as it says in the article that you linked.
I concur.

It sounds like the coworkers are perhaps more knowledgeable in some areas, rather than necessarily having higher IQ's.

And getting to work with people who are more knowledgeable than you is exactly where you want to be.

Yeah Austrian restaurants were an absolute shocker for me. There are so many places where the 'non-smoking area' absolute reeks of second hand smoke.

Coming out from a night out with your clothes smelling like cigarettes felt like going back 30 years in time.
That's untrue. You (maybe) choose to start smoking, but once you have started, choice is entirely taken away from you.

Incidentally, that's precisely what helped me quit (a long time ago): I realized I was a slave to the cigarette and the only way to be free again was to stop it altogether. It was one of the hardest thing I ever had to do. I stayed in bed for four days trying to think about something else and sleeping it through. And then it wasn't over for a couple of weeks.
I would articulate things differently.

Theoretically, memory-safety between Rust and managed languages is equivalent.

However, memory-safe languages (i.e. not Managed C++) running on a memory-safe VM have one more layer of defense in depth than Rust. This matters in case there is a bug in the compiler or any of the dependencies. Additional layers may include, for instance, Unix and containers.

"dynamic" languages, though? That's entirely orthogonal to memory-safety and not very good for general software safety.

The lavatories have them because occasionally some people will smoke there, and you don't want them to drop the cigarette in the paper trash and kill everybody in the plane when it starts a fire (which apparently has happened, in the past).
http://www.iasa.com.au/folders/Safety_Issues/RiskManagement/...
But if you google a bit there appears to be lots of fires still, when cigarettes are dumped in trash cans.. so either not all planes have ash trays in the lavatories, or some are too stupid to use them, or maybe they want to hide that they smoke by stuffing the cigarette deep down into the paper trash..
Honestly.....name brand is important as first employer. It's not decisive, but it will be a door opener for future career openings. In recruiting, there is massive familiarity bias when looking at candidate profiles - those with employers recruiters and hiring managers recognise, gain a huge advantage. This is not the world as it should be, but it is the world as it is. Obviously the role your choose should provide good, challenging work, strong network and fair remuneration, but all things being equal, do the name brand employer first

Just because it's inside an platform-ifdef doesn't mean it's not useful in a cross-platform application. That code would only be active when built on Windows and provide some optional functionality that probably isn't worth writing a cross-platform abstraction layer for (especially since this is accessing the Windows registry, which doesn't have an equivalent on other platforms).
This is especially bothersome with Bitwarden and the reason I ditched it shortly after trying it. You can use the desktop/mobile clients, but some functions require the use of the web UI and that's a dealbreaker for me...

I wish there was a browser plugin that verifies the congruence of the web UI with upstream source - or even better a client that supports all functions that the web UI supports.

> banknotes are only in circulation for one or two exchanges before coming back to a bank

No, you don't get the 100% whole picture, but you can mine a ton out of data points like "note 38573204 was given to John Doe via ATM on 2023-01-10, and returned to bank by Jane Smith (owner of ABC Widgets) on 2023-01-14".
I'm sure there's a number somewhere between 0% and 100% that can ameliorate both demographic problems, and the avoid the vague 'huge problems' you cite. Canada seems to be doing just fine with a quarter of its population being foreign-born.

An alternative answer to this situation, of course, is to observe that the demographic problems in question are largely overrated, and that the productivity gains of the last century will keep old people from having to live under bridges and eating cat food.
Agreed. Don't bother trying to make Windows give Linux the time of day (pun totally intended), it never works, that's probably by design. Just give up and make Linux accommodate the Windows style system clock, has almost no issues.
So now we're proposing to replace an insanely efficient harvesting system that has been refined and perfected over the course of the last century with what? Rasberry Pi's and some off the shelf stepper motors? Best of luck with your endeavor.
Named brands are not necessarily good. In mid-2022 I tried to consolidate my chargers (Lots came with phones/pads etc. one 4 ports, and one 6 ports in particular. Most of those came with devices support PD and are 18w at least. However, those two multi-ports ones can only do 5v/2.4a max. Brand names were hidden here just to avoid being taken as ads) into one single charge station. So, I expected to get one with 8 ports and could do 100w at least, USB-C/PD would be desired but not a must. I did not realize I just started a saga. I had very positive experience with some generic single port PD chargers, so I decided to start from generic ones first. Not quite a surprise, none of 3 met my expectations, mostly because of false marking. The worst one doubled the current it was delivering. Others had too much voltage drop, e.g. with 1700mA load, the voltage dropped to around 4.8 etc.. I thought I cheaped out, so decided to try big brands. So the only one I found was with 10 ports, 100w total, 2.4a max per port. It came with the charging station and a huge power brick. To be fair, the power brick was actually decent as when idle, the power consumption could not be registered by my power meter. But the charging station was a total disappointment. It chewed 5w when idle. When with around 1700ma load, the voltage dropped to below 4.6v. To my surprise, the single port generic ones I had could actually maintain the voltage to about 4.8v, one was even able to keep at about 5.1v.

Eventually I gave up and returned all of them as I had exhausted all the available options but none of them were close to my expectations.
The german antitrust agency recently started an investigation into PayPal because they forbid businesses to offer lower prices to customers which use a different paying method. If they succeed pressure on PayPal might increase if you pay 2% or so less for using a bank payment.
As a non-US citizen one of the worst user experience in fintech I had was PayPal. Especially when I tried to stop using it and it just didn't allow me to just pay by entering card data without login, even in anonymous mode. There also were couple of moments when alternative card payment processor failed to bill my card, but PayPal managed to make it. I understand that US barely have any alternatives, but still.

Overall I think the benefits are decent, however I don't think they fully support fathers.

Fathers can take 7 days while mom is on mat leave at same time.

Then later you can have nursing time, 30 min breaks from work? Can show up 30 mins late??

How about some actual time off so you can help out at early stages of life and not too be financially worried.

Certainly, though, those same businesses keep a lot of cash in order to give change to other customers. But that cash will still likely end up back at a bank before too long.

Yeah, I think the ridiculousness of the Uber/Lyft rating system (anything but a 5 means the driver should be fired) tells us that customer feedback of this sort is less than useless.

Can't find it for some reason, can you provide a link? Did they summarize with GPTSimpleVectorIndex or GPTListIndex? GPTSimpleVectorIndex is in get-started examples and is cheaper, but it provides worse results.
The number of smokers back then was always vastly under-reported, because it was all about self-reporting. In my school nearly everybody smoked, at least women and girls did - I counted them. 87% of the girls in my school smoked. There would be one or two in each class who didn't, but everyone else did. Still, most of them would say they didn't smoke, if you asked them - because they didn't smoke all the time. So the official number was something like 30-40%, a completely fake number.

(These days things are different, fortunately. I don't see many young people smoke anymore, but the mentality was completely different back then, around the time when it was still allowed to smoke indoors everywhere)

Context matters. The dynamics of the business are fundamentally different because many employees prefer tips to the alternative, and they have have many options where to work. Employees have a lot of leverage due to a chronic labor shortage.

This dynamic has played out time and again in Seattle, where business owners tried to switch to a "no tipping" model with a 20% mandatory service charge but ultimately had to relent because employees were not keen on earning less money.
At least mastodon is built on top of an open protocol. Those discussion already took place for ActivityPub, mastodon just implemented the open standard. You just came with a random idea and absolutely nothing but an organization on GitHub.
I get your point, and I do think it's great for many people that we don't lose this outright, but I will offer an alternative view -
Where I live, there always were a lot of people who don't report their income fully, which means they mostly transact in cash. We have fairly high and progressive taxes, which means that by transacting in cash, some medium to high earners can lower their tax payments significantly.
After trying basically everything over many decades, the clear plan by to government is to make cash transactions obsolete as soon as possible. They've been slowly reducing the maximum legal cash transaction size for a while now, but the goal is clearly to get rid of cash.

While I worry about people without access to banking (mostly people without documentation, but also the poor), I think they're on a course to resolve that too, and I for one would be very happy to not have to pay that much in taxes while seeing others cheat the system and reap the benefits...

Neat thing about idle equipment, it doesn't consume any inputs, so not real sure where you think you're going with that one. And yes, you aren't constrained by seasons. You're constrained by grid electricity rates, market prices for agricultural products, available labor pool, and the supply of dumb money naive enough to capitalize infrastructure projects that are balanced on that house of cards.

It’s actually worse for Asian non-Japanese cultures. You’re basically expected to stay in the circle of your culture, whether you like it or not.

> You could smoke on the Hindenberg. Yes. On a dirigible held aloft by hydrogen, they had a smoking room

Seems insane, but I guess they didn't want homicidal nicotine-starved passengers. The article does however go on to say "The smoking room was kept at a higher pressure than the rest of the ship so that no leaking hydrogen could enter the room, and the smoking room was separated from the rest of the passenger section by a double-door airlock." So the designers seem to at least have been aware of the risks.
Very few DL papers are 100% fully reproducible, in that you can get identical results and generate identical checkpoints, even when source is attached and benchmark datasets are used.

I would say the vast majority published are not even close to be able to be reproduced.

Full size LLMs are not able to be reproduced because the datasets are copyright and not distributable and you need millions of dollars worth of compute to fully train them.

If a company is publishing enough detail about SoTA architectures for researchers to ballpark reproduce, that is a win in my book.
Why does it matter? That isn't some kind of gotcha.

I wouldn't mind if 100% of customer facing jobs were tipped. At worst, is an optional lower price to pay if you are dissatisfied or light on cash. Normally it is just I'm part of the price. I'm not sure why people would be so much happier paying 120% the price instead of 100% and then a 20% tip. It's all the same in the end
I used to work with a chain smoker and the first thing he would do when checking into a non-smoking hotel is call the front desk and complain that his room smells like smoke from the previous customer, but refuse to change rooms. Then he smoked continuously during his stay.

In Japan hotels still have smoking rooms, and when I was working there I would get stuck in one about 10% of the time. I would wake up with dry eyes and throat, and a hangover-like headache.
