It's because a) people want high resolution, and b) software development is cutting corners like building on electron.

Lastly, Discord has absolutely the worst software engineering behind it.
I think it's probably earlier (elementary, middle) schools that just don't provide opportunity for kids that are very advanced to pursue materials that are actually challenging or interesting to them.
Raspberry Pi-powered exoskeleton makes walking faster and easier
It's a bit of an unnecessarily emotional way to frame the debate, but climate change under current projections will kill a lot of people, including children. Realistic forecasts suggest many deaths from increased natural disasters, air pollution, famine, drought, heat stress, poverty and war.
In Trigger.dev workflows are created completely in your code rather than in a node-based UI (which to be fair does allow you to write code sometimes). We found developers could actually put together workflows faster if the whole thing was code rather than a hybrid of UI / code (because you get to use your own IDE + Copilot).
ChatGPT is the last thing I would use for recipe help (0). Instead I'd go with a reliable source like SeriousEats, NYTimes, or as you suggested, Cooking for Engineers.

SEEKING WORK | UX/UI & web design

Portfolio: https://www.seanw.org/

Location: Edinburgh, UK and remote (I’m used to time zone differences and async work)

Email: sw@seanw.org

---

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with some frontend development where needed. My background as a startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

---

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

No it is not, the latent vector and/or weights of the model do not infringe copyright, however people don't typically consume the y=3x-5, they consume the output points (images). If you output (2, 1) you have infringed the holder's copyright (even though the means of production could include any arbitrary set of functions).

Let me put it another way. Suppose you authored and copyrighted two images. I then train a model that can interpolate between those images using a "latent space" from 0-1.0. For most of that space, the image might look totally different, or even like noise. But if I set the value to 1.0, generate your exact image (pixel-for-pixel) and then sell it, would you say "well since model could have generated different images, the fact that it generated my image isn't infringement...". This is about like saying that taking a digital photograph and then selling the photograph isn't infringement because the pixels are slightly different, and the digital camera is merely a model that approximates the true colors of the atoms by sampling photons which it maps into a regular grid to approximate colors, which are further down-sampled by means of compression algorithms. Truly, the digital photo and real-life image can't be considered the same, can they? The digital approach only reproduces it using "heuristics" and "algorithms", and could theoretically reproduce any image given a slightly different set of input bytes to the decompression, rendering, and printing algorithms.
My first job at Jarvik Heart. I worked directly for the infamous Dr. Jarvik "inventor of the artificial heart (not really)".

He is famously awful to work for, and with. We made LVADs, including the CNC machining in Hells Kitchen in Manhattan.

He would steal people's unpaid PTO when they left, and even would sue former employees regarding their non-compete agreements, even when they weren't enforceable. He had friends in high places in the NYC court system so was able to get cases to go further than they should, using it as an intimidation tactic. He cost many former employees their new jobs, and careers.

His legacy- terrible to work with, for, and a real awful person.
Before you go correcting him, consider the possibility that his infrared heater glows orange, and he knows by the theory of blackbody radiation (combined with the lowness of the melting point of all the substances used to make heating elements) that that means it is emitting even more red photons than orange ones.

The "therapy" bulbs with the red or infrared (or both) LEDs are expensive (if they're intense enough to have a therapeutic effect on large areas of skin) and if he happens to have a heater that glows orange or any high-intensity incandescent bulb (either the ones with the red coating sold as heat lamps or the ordinary ones used for lighting) he can use that instead.

Alternatively, he can go out in the sun, which is an intense source of red and infrared photons (of almost all wavelengths -- and tending to come at you in many directions because they reflect off of greenery, dirt and clouds) and if he doesn't want at the same time to be exposed to UV light he can cover up with high-UPF clothing and hat, and the infrared photons will go right through the clothing and hat.

If you want cars to be an even barely acceptable alternative to public transport:

- They should not be stuck in traffic jams

- They should not kill children, pedestrians and cyclists

- They should be electric without heavy and polluting batteries

These aren't unreasonable requirements, or some utopia situation. They're all things that trains and subways provide that cars do not.

> - Make a ticket cost the same as or less than the cost in petrol (or electricity) for the same journey

In your utopia, do I get a free car and only spend money on petrol for travel? It it a country that provides free car repairs and service, need no insurance, MOT checks, and has no road tax?

In Britain the fixed costs of owning a car exceed £2000 a year before you've driven a single mile.

I think the idea would be to have a gieger counter in the vehicle near the pellet that can detect the pellet radiation, and sound an alarm in the vehicle if the pellet radiation is no longer detected, so the driver knows immediately that the pellet has become unsecured.
Sure, but the recruiter isn't willing to waste their time to find out if you deem their role good enough to accept something lower, or if you are going to make them go to bat to spend more money on you. It is better for their goals to move on to someone who is actually seeking something within the target compensation's budget.
It's not just grade inflation, it is watering down the curriculum and creating fake degrees in unserious academic areas.
Corporate software dev gig in the Bay Area. Was like a 10 minute commute by bike from my house. All but 2-3 of us on a team of 30 or so were H1B, all from the same village in India. Many of them appeared to have little more than some passing familiarity with software. Instead of working at their desks, they would all crowd into a conference room for a day long quasi-meeting all day, every day. A spot at the actual table was primo, most had their laptop in their lap all day 'coding'. This team barely produced anything, and when they did it wasn't even close to what was asked for. Decisions were debated in this room for hours that should have been made in minutes. First, the director of this group was fired, then they went through 2 CTO's in 2 years, each re-organizing everything. Bar none the least productive shop I've ever seen. All management knew how to do was insist on more hours in hopes of getting something useful. Working conditions were so bad the girl who sat next to me jumped to her death in front on the San Leandro Bart train one morning after getting yelled at again for yet another failed deliverable.

I took the job because they wanted help migrating some apps from an old proprietary stack to Java and I'd done this many times before. However, if you weren't from that village, you were not to be trusted. Finally, they moved the whole team to another office 20 minutes away but I stayed at the office close to my house. I just gave up and enjoyed a few months of doing nothing, going for long bike rides in the hills in Oakland during the work day before moving on.

I think I stumbled into some kind of fraud where they were just giving jobs to people they knew without any qualifications without any intention of building software. It was truly bizarre.
Which makes the value proposition of cookbooks dubious!
What does "smart" even mean? My personal experience has taught me that the superficial appearance of a low-high intelligence spectrum belies a very complicated system.

My non-professional experience is that most people are capable of learning most things with enough time and dedication, up to a certain level of sophistication. There's a huge range of variation in how quickly different people can learn different topics, how capable they are from learning by reading versus listening, how much they struggle with various emotion management problems that might inhibit their otherwise-highly-capable cognitive abilities, et multa alia.

Moreover, very very very few students are ever taught how to study and how to learn. Even fewer still are taught how to understand their own minds, and how to find the balance between training their minds to learn in certain ways and finding learning styles and subject areas that work well with their minds. Some students instinctively realize that writing, drills, and practice form the seeds of intuition, which is the basis for understanding, while others never really figure this out on their own. Some students understand how to take notes that work for them, while others have bad handwriting and find it difficult to take notes at all.

I think that what we tend to perceive as "intelligence" is some combination of "ability to learn a limited set of desirable subjects relatively quickly from conventional instruction techniques and resources" and "well-spoken".

If that is true, then if we want more equitable learning outcomes, we should be focusing on helping students to explore how their own minds work, to learn self-awareness and emotion management skills, to improve communication skills, and to learn their own innate mental strengths and weaknesses, so they can more easily self-select into and self-direct within their own learning environments. And society in general should offer and hold high esteem for a greater variety of learning environments and types of intelligence.

Of course, some people will indeed struggle with emotion management, or communication, just like some people will struggle with learning mathematical proofs or understanding complicated historical events. But I think that's better than our current status quo of just hoping that students figure all this stuff out for themselves. I would even hypothesize that parental involvement in these areas specifically might be causal for some % of differences in student education outcomes.

Edit: All of the above is of course possibly contradicted by the article under discussion here. I'll have to read it in more detail, and maybe I'll update my beliefs as a result.
What's the ballpark figure for the payments for this side project? $200 seems extreme unless your side project is charging $10,000~ per payment.
The problem is ChatGPT recipes are (frequently) bad or (unlikely but possibly) dangerous. Maybe this will change as the service improves? For now though you'd be much better off using a low-fluff reliable source like SeriousEats or NYTimes.
This.

Also, there's the issue of fit. Plenty of companies don't operate like FAANG companies do. If a candidate is FAANG-heavy, it raises a serious question about whether or not they'd fit into a non-FAANG company.
Indeed. I'm a bit disappointed as EEE can be very effective. A lot of businesses are formed around this strategy but few ever get to push the envelope like Microsoft did.

I'm not advocating for EEE, but it is interesting. An broad analysis of EEE in tech, especially open source or "open core" projects would be very interesting to see.

SEEKING WORK | Remote

I have a PhD in operations research---essentially, I solve optimization problems. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or other methods.

I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of the user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I am aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.

Plenty of research doesn't need millions to do. If you're a mathematician or almost any kind of theoretician or computational scientist you need a laptop maybe the odd bit of cloud time on a bigger blob of compute, in the case of mathematicians you might need chalk. The millions you do need to spend though are on private per-paper viewing of literature, thats the real mind killer. If universities just had alumni access to literature they would rapidly just become subscription library services for theory people! I can work like 3 months a year and finance literally the rest of my time on theoretical work. But only if I don't have to pay £60 to read enough of a paper to realise its a worthless piece of crap.

I keep trying to use ripcord, but the reality is a workplace expects you to be able to jump on board every new feature that Slack adds within moments of it's release. Whether that be huddles, threads, recordings, etc.

If we could pare our use of Slack down to just text, it would be a great alternative - but until them I'm stuck using the official client.
My employer was a third-party company, not the schools themselves, but they didn't really "manage placement" beyond providing the software platform. If I didn't log in to accept a job, I would not be working.

I should add that the "system" that this replaced was much more humane: you would contact the district to be placed on their substitute list, which school secretaries would consult when they needed a sub. They would personally call you to see if you were available, rather than having to watch the site refresh. Since they only made calls during business hours, you wouldn't have to worry about it on evenings or at ungodly morning hours. You would be paid directly by the school district.

Presumably the software could have worked basically the same way, but of course it didn't.
When was that the case?

> The discussion about alternatives doesn't need to be related to switching under the timeline of a routine security release, right?

If not, it certainly doesn't belong in a thread about an announcement for an upcoming security release. Maybe it'd make sense in the postmortem threads?
Seems like it would be very simple to prevent this from happening by just adding a perceptual hash check[1] for collisions vs the training set before emitting an image. I'm sure someone would be smart enough to make a "perceptual cuckoo hash" type thing so it would be very fast at the expense of sometimes erring on the side of caution and not emitting an image that actually isn't the same as the training data.

I don't know why they didn't do this tbh.
