Bullying is such a detrimental thing to experience. It has lifelong consequences. It's good to see that schools in the US are taking it more seriously than they used to. In the past the attitude from adults seemed to be that experiencing bullying would make you tougher. Now we know better.

I know that I personally still suffer the effects of bullying some 40 to 50 years later - for example, I tend to withdraw from any conflict/confrontation in the work setting misinterpreting even constructive conflict/criticism as being directed at me personally. When I was a kid playing with other kids I tended to withdraw and disappear even in situations where there was no bullying because I came to expect it would happen. And I see that I withdraw similarly in the workplace. In that sense the bullying from many years ago has negatively impacted my career and mental health (anxiety, panic attacks and a bit of paranoia as I'm always expecting the worst from other people).
it s not a need though, nobody died from celibacy. there are thousands of men who choose to become monks etc forgoing sexual pleasure. it is a drive, but not a need
In reasonably prosperous societies that take care of all their members and lack the cult of individualism, this is quite normal. Visible inequality, corruption, systemic persecution, and dire poverty tend to erode trust.
A good and a bad:

Without calling it a date, you are expected to read the vibe. And yes, you can misread it. But, without making it clear, it's not so bad if you misread, because that's where you get the first "no".

I personally think that if one part is into the other, but not vice-versa, not only the relationships won't happen, but also that friendship likely won't happen either. Like relationships, friendships need to have both parties actually wanting it.

Cool to see a wellness app that appeals to the dopamine dressing generation and modern day challenges where breath work is proven to help.

While it is my personal opinion that the visuals are distracting from the purpose of breath work, I understand it will help someone discover that beauty with time.

If you found a way to combine a proprietary device like the PowerBreathe into a breathing exercise app and provided recommendations/trainings, I think it would appeal more to me.

Best of luck!

There's also usually a switch from ISO to NSO somewhere down the line, often fairly early. NSOs aren't capped at a 90 day post-termination exercise window. Some companies have extended the window to as much as 7 years - Pinterest comes to mind. There is a cap, but it's closer to the RSU cap than the ISO cap.

The progression is usually:

- Founders get shares with a re-purchase option for vesting. The company exercises the option if you leave before vesting ends to take back your un-vested shares.

- Next ~100 people get ISOs.

- Next ~2000 get NSOs.

- Then, double-trigger RSUs until the company goes public.

- Then, single-trigger RSUs.

I agree with your general assessment. The difference between options and RSUs usually comes down to upside potential. An option is worthless at grant time (by law, it usually has to be issued at the 409(a)) and it's just the right to buy company shares. If you're buying the shares at the current price, there's no value in that. Options only gain intrinsic value of future appreciation in the underlying equity past your grant date.

On the other hand RSUs are shares of the company, so they are worth at grant whatever a share of the company is worth.

An option with a $10 strike price to buy shares of a company whose 409(a) is $11 has an intrinsic value of $1. An RSU of a company whose 409(a) is $11 has an intrinsic value of $11.

Companies generally, in my experience, give you about 3X as many options as they would shares for the same role. Give or take. Companies usually switch from options to RSUs when they think that growth in the stock price is going to slow down - [edit] (and when they're hiring people with a higher aversion to risk!)
The same feed that publishes trades also publishes trade busts, so it's up to whoever's consuming it downstream to take care of.
Can’t you do effectively the same with schemas? Something like

create schema foo;
grant all on all tables in schema foo to foo;

would allow role “foo” to “create/delete/manage databases in schema foo, such as foo.foo_dev, foo.foo_test, foo.foo_prod, etc.

Or do you want a second level (possibly a hierarchy) of schemas?
That's a rather lazy dismissal, seems that you don't like having your beliefs challenged, and will say anything to avoid considering a different point of view.

Perhaps you can explain which parts of my comment you think are factually incorrect?
This is the obvious point: they fear it would work well and they will have to slowly say good bye to their extremely well paid profession.

We are so close from a new disruptive revolution where a lot of jobs (not just lawyers) will be made obsolete. Possibly similar to inventions like assembly lines, or cars. Such an exciting time to be alive!
> Bitwarden is treating this criticism as a feature request.

A better response than LastPass at least.

I would have preferred a detailed blog post from BW than a Mastodon thread.
I find this take interesting. So would you also argue that saving an image into computer memory is the same as memorizing an image for a human? Those processes are viewed very different by the law, but if we anthropomorphize computers should we not view them the same?

Also I wonder where you get the view that future ML systems will not require large amounts of learning? I don't see any development in current systems that would allow that, or do you mean you have a network trained on large amounts of data which can then adjust to a style from a single image? If that's the case we are still at the same question, how was the original model trained.
Just about to release an MVP.

I went with:

Terraformed AWS/EKS

Docker

Postgres

Node/Express

React

I'm pretty language agnostic, but for webstack I like to use Node, because it means I don't have to context switch too hard. I'm using the same language on the frontend and backend with the same APIs. I only have to keep one standard library in my head and a lot of packages are compatible with either front or backend.

Whenever I'm working on the web, that's going to be my go to.

I would consider Typescript, but I don't think the cost/benefit of Typescript really balances out until you have a team. The need to create types and type harnesses for libraries slows you down at first, and speed is the name of the game with an MVP.
A random jumper of a good curated list of interesting/funny articles on Wikipedia, but.. But my guess (based on reverse Birthday Problem) is that the list is too short, about 300-500 links (since I met the same article after about 20-30 clicks).

Once I tried to implement random interesting article based on choosing categories of articles interesting for me and making a pick also by using the properties of the categories as a graph so an interesting category could also pull parent category but with less weight. I admit the results were less impressive but the pool was much bigger.
I used to keep using the boxes whilst steam billowed out the sides until things started crashing.

I recall gcc3 -> 4. The prevailing "wisdom" was emerge --deep (etc) world ... twice! My laptop was left for around a week trundling through 1500 odd packages. I think I did system first, twice too. I left it running on a glass table in an unheated study, propped up to allow some better airflow.

One of the great things about Gentoo is that a completely fragged system doesn't faze you anymore. Screwed glibc? Never mind. Broken python? lol! Scrambled portage? Hold my beer.

I have a VM running in the attic that got a bit behind. OK it was around eight? years out of date. I ended up putting in a new portage tree under git and reverting it into the past and then winding it forwards after getting the thing up to date at that point in time. It took quite a while. I could have started again but it was fun to do as an exercise.
I’ll be honest, this sounds like you have made a decision on your stance and now you’re building false distinctions to reinforce your own bias.

You said a lot of words, but I believe your argument comes down to “computers are super powered compared to humans doing the same thing”? Is that accurate? Because magnitude of ability, to me, makes no difference at all. It’s perfectly acceptable for a human to study the artwork of a specific person and then create their own works based on that style. Why wouldn’t it be the same for an automated process?
You need to have Prime, and it usually requires you to have 2-3 items in your cart.

But if they're items that would normally ship in 1-2 days, then it will provide a credits option if you have an Amazon Day (day of the week for combined deliveries) selected and that Amazon Day is at least 3 days in the future. It will also sometimes instead show a "no-rush shipping" option that is usually something like 5-7 days out, with credits.

I'm not going to lie, I almost always select it (even constantly changing my Amazon Day to be at least 3 days out from today), and I'm pretty sure I make back my Prime membership fee and then some. The credits are usually $1.50-$4.50 per shipment, expire after 3 months, and can only be used for digital purchases like Kindle and videos.
You're trying to frame the justification as something that will help the residents of California, but that's not the motivated party here. Instead, it should be framed as what helps the inevitable grift perpetrated through a government contractor to build this system? In that case the justification is a little more clear:

1. Its complicated enough to hide large costs and perhaps budget overruns

2. It uses a bunch of technology hype lingo, like 'blockchain' and 'NFT', to let the political DMV leadership market to the people that they are embracing the future

3. Its underlying mechanism is at best useless, so there will be no pressure on the contractor to deliver anything of value

What a win!
According to the article: "LeCun made his remarks about OpenAI in response to a question during the colloquium posed by New York Times journalist Cade Metz. Metz asked if Meta's AI team, FAIR, which LeCun built, will ever be identified in the public mind with breakthroughs the way that OpenAI is."

It seems to me "well actually, ChatGPT isn't really the breakthrough you think it is" is an appropriate response. He wasn't dismissive of ChatGPT and even praised it to some degree.
I love this. Small suggestion: you should mention that pasting URLs works, too. I was getting mildly annoyed thinking that I had to extract the video ID, but turns out I don't - just pasting a URL works.
It is open source, the hierarchy is the minimal necessary to solve the reasons federated systems fail and centralize (spam, public key lookup for p2p encryption, version updates across the system, difficulty of running a linux server).

I work at Tlon so I'm biased, but I joined because I think urbit is the best way to get ourselves out of the local max of computing we're trapped in.

Email is a failure as a federated system (people on a tiny amount of centralized providers), the promise of the web as a decentralized place for people to interact p2p failed (FB, Instagram, etc.).

We're serfs operating accounts that manipulate our attention so that we view more ads on massively centralized systems controlled by companies that have their own incentives. Urbit is an escape of that. You can't fix these issues without fixing the problems earlier up in the computing stack, federated systems on the existing stack are doomed to always be relegated to a tiny hyper-technical niche. Urbit's design means it's possible to get the UX such that everyone could use it (likely most by a provider running the urbit for them).

Federated systems don't even really solve these problems for most users unless you run your own server (an even smaller subset) - you're just trading one dictator for another (and likely it's worse given how subreddit mods behave - mastodon is a good example of this).

I'm no longer there, but I was at Red Hat for three years and change after the acquisition by IBM was first announced. At least through my time there, this couldn't be further from the truth. Red Hat was operated at a completely independent company. I wasn't even allowed to promote IBM products and services because we didn't want to show favoritism over other partners.
The Odroid N2L is smaller than the Raspberry Pi 4 but is it better?
Thanks for the kind words. It’s probably time for me to revise that a bit, or write another one. I’ve learned a lot more yet since I wrote that.

I used to use Flask, but I changed over to Django at the end of 2022. Super happy I did. It wasn’t painless, but the benefits have been totally worth it.
This is the left side argument against UBI—“remove the U” (not everyone needs it). The right side argument is with the “BI” (just get a job you fuckin slob).

This is why UBI efforts will ultimately fail—they both fundamentally oppose crucial aspects of the concept for completely different reasons.

In response Amazon did a lot to reduce price transparency. If you notice now most categories of items are constantly 'on sale' and even if camelcamelcamel picks up that fact, there are also 'coupons' available on-site for most amazon products that only alter the price under certain conditions and they're only applied at checkout.

This makes it difficult for a human being trying to buy things to compare the prices, let alone a series of scripts.
I know a kid who recently learned to defeat a new child safety lock without adult guidance. AI *might* learn to do the same --- after training on several thousand videos showing the exact process.
In the 1920s there was a plan going around to build an episcopal cathedral in Seattle, WA. Construction started in 1928, but when the stock market crashed in 1929 they ran low on funds. So they finished the crossing, hurriedly built some walls around it, and created what some call a "holy box" rather than a traditional cathedral. It's known as St Mark's Cathedral; worth a visit if you're in the area and you're interested in cathedrals.
Is it not natural or are you just unpracticed at it?
> What's wrong with CBC?

It’s not tamper proof, ie signed, unlike GCM

> Some modern modes of operation combine confidentiality and authenticity in an efficient way, and are known as authenticated encryption modes

I’d also add: CBC requires padding and GCM does not. Minor convenience.
It'd be a fun exercise to write a tiny Forth in machine code (sans assembler) and use it to write enough of a C compiler to build tcc, or something along those lines. From there I think you can chain old (but accessible) gcc versions up to modern gcc.
I remembered it wasn't Joe Franklin, it was Paul Harvey that blended ads and content. I don't recall him giving any disclosures which is why I didn't like his radio talk show.
Libertarian techbros aren't that common. Most tech people are liberals just like any other college educated group.

(Similarly, richer people/political donors are usually liberals and the richer/more they donate the more liberal they are. It's all thanks to education polarization.)
Astronomers and science journalists should consider adjusting their terminology, eg 'detected a radio wave'. Saying you received a signal implies communication, and then requires 1-2 paragraphs in the story refuting the misleading aspect of the headline, wasting everyone's time.

I think that's very true. However many forums die due to the owner not being able to pay the bills or stop spam. Xenforo + anti-spam addons ain't cheap, google ads won't take just anyone and the payout is very low. Or they just get bored with running a final fantasy fansite. This is where reddit becomes more appealing because if someone deletes a subreddit you don't have to find an entirely new site to join, someone will just recreate it.
Of course Reddit is busy trying to make it's VC owners back all of their billions, so its vision has become heavily compromised.
Switzerland didn't have the kind of return anything for any reason culture as the US has had for a long time. The fact you can return a non defective item is something newer and you still find retailers that will not take your item back unless it is defective.

So you don't see people to go Jumbo (home depot equivalent) buy a tool and return it a week later after the job is done to get a full refund.

In fact even digitec/galaxus will charge you a 10% restocking fee if you opened the item and it isn't not defective in anyway.
Wirth became minimalist with Oberon, which came after Modula-2 and Ada.
Funny. :) But in all seriousness, I can get a good authentic burrito made by real Mexicans for less than $10, so why go to chipotle and pay 50% more and a side dish of “attitude” from the local high school kids who want to close early.
Did anyone ask the top 5 % how low their standards are?
> Not sure how its a different issue. Wouldn't a recession have made the home prices affordable

Hypothetically, once people are absolutely forced to sell or are foreclosed on.

Any current slow or drop in home prices has mostly been because interest rates have driven monthly mortgage payments too high and reduced the pool of buyers. Otherwise inflation would be driving home prices up too.
I wasn’t bullied, but I was a homeschool kid who ended up at a private Christian school and then married the first girl who showed me any interest. We finally divorced after two decades of struggle. The entire 3-4 year period of my marriage finally collapsing under its own weight came with several beautiful bright spots: I went to therapy, I had several life-changing experiences with psychedelics, and I found a group of incredibly good friends in similar situations. It’s mindblowing the difference that a few good friends can make.
Why was this submission flagged?
You walked right into it, that's not my fault. LOL.

First you had family that worked in healthcare "I have family in healthcare so I hear the stories.". Now you're able to draw parallels because you get to see the people that deal with others? It doesn't even make sense. I have people that work in the healthcare industry including doctors too. Your evidence is andetoal at best, hearsay at worst. You don't have a dataset, you have stories. So which is it? Talk about a bad faith discussion...

The reality is there are plenty of people that would love their partner for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.

I've read this article some years ago and always wanted to ask: besides size, what were the arguments against Lisp in JPL? Author's position is biased, as he recognizes, then I'm curious about the other side in this story.
Do you imagine that a pro se litigant is going to have a hard time or will be required to spend small fortunes to defend themselves in "fucking traffic court?"

You're basically trying to cut the argument both ways. Administrative courts are not criminal courts, and an AI would never be allowed near a criminal defense trial for obvious reasons.

"Although this general idea and the research looking into it is still in its infancy, the data that do exist suggest that the pill might influence who you’re attracted to, the dynamics of your relationships, the quality of your sex life, how jealous you are, how you respond to your partner’s face, how sexy you are to others, and your likelihood of getting a divorce."

> i feel like lawyers will be able to legally keep AI out of their
field for a while yet. they have the tools at their disposal to do
so and a huge incentive, other fields like journalism not so much.

That was my initial response too.

Artists, programmers, musicians, teachers are threatened... but shrug
and say "that's the future, what can you do". If lawyers feel
"threatened" by AI, they get it shot down.

I suddenly have a newfound respect for lawyers :)

Yet if we think about it, we all have exactly the same tools at our
disposal - which is just not playing that game. Difference is, while
most professions have got used to rolling with whatever "progressive
technology" is foisted on us, lawyers have a long tradition of caution
and moderating external pressure to "modernise". I'm not sure
Microsoft have much influence in the legal field.
"I have never been owned by another person, so there is no need for a law against slavery."

All of this sounds fantastic.

I can't donate my time, but I'd be happy to donate money to anyone taking on this effort.

> If being rejected by a potential employer or potential sexual partner results in suicide ideation - I strongly recommend talking to a professional expeditiously.

Hmm...

> A person in a healthy state of mind can be disappointed by rejection, but ought to realize that a self-fulfilling fear response while interacting with the potential employer/partner is unhelpful and take steps to mitigate future occurrences.

Imagine you need to fly over a river to save your life, because you're being chased by a maniac with an axe. Would you fly?

No, because you can't. Person in a healthy etc. can realize that thing about fear response, but be unable to control that said response. Somewhat, but not quite, similar to being unable to hold breath voluntarily, for arbitrarily long time.

You might be right about the need talking to professional expeditiously. However many don't, and are ok, even though they pass through quite - to the point of those thoughts - dark area in their life. We know about some unfortunate outcomes of such situations; that doesn't mean all the rest have it easy.
My first exposure to Lisp was via Autolisp in the 80s (on a Tandy 2000!).

When I started getting into Linux and stuff in the mid-90s, I noticed how many programs used some form of Lisp as an extension language -- Emacs, GIMP, Abuse (video game)... Then I stumbled across Guile, the GNU Project's pick for such an extension language in future programs, and tried it out. It felt much more comfortable than Perl for various system tasks. I liked composing a program bit by bit, testing the pieces out in the REPL, which was harder to do with other languages, even Perl.

I've been real into Lisp (esp. Scheme) since then.
