I wasn't interpreting anything.

From reading the text of the actual article, "and a number of female students have approached me, noting they are disgusted and uncomfortable with the amount of "leching" taking place".

From the comment I had replied to, "but it's damn hard to find a mate if you are not in the top 20% of (straight) men, and basically requires you to be aggressive like this".

Please respond to the article and not an interpretation of partial words and phrases taken from comments. Frankly, it wastes time and derails actual discussions from happening.
That is why I went with System76.

A year ago I asked on my local Linux mailing list for some hardware recommendations, and I mentioned I would like to buy something w/Linux pre-installed. A lot of people got upset with that idea.

I am done installing OSes. I never learned anything from it, and I buy a system to use it, not to configure it.
For someone who is trying to learn the basics of quantum entanglement, the distinction between local and non-local hidden variables isn't take that essential.

Or make those "hiddens" in the code above globals. Problem solved.
I’m not sure that’s bad per se.. people should keep their OS separate from the data. Applications should be self-contained but the bigger issue would be app upgrades to run on the new OS.
The probability that synthesis of similar enough training samples given that the dataset does not contain duplicates is astronomically small, in this work they purposefully manipulated the dataset, used specific prompts and gave all sorts of advantages to an adversary, and created many images per prompt to be able to find such cases.
Sorry for the tangent but a surprising number the general public doesn't know the meaning of percent[1]. So even if a teacher is told those percentages many wouldn't know what to conclude.

Recently in LoL I've been sending a friend request to anyone I have more fun with than the average random, and queueing with friends whenever possible. It is a little awkward, but definitely nicer than just randoms. Some players I'll play a few with then unfriend, if I learn that they're generally dislikable.

Wonder if you could ask them before the round ends, "y'all wanna play another?"

You're talking past each other. The Fed doesn't want tech layoffs in particular, they want layoffs in general to destroy aggregate demand and push wage increases down. Much to the chagrin of all parties, the Fed isn't able to keep up with folks leaving the labor force and job creation.

> “The Fed is tightening monetary policy but somebody forgot to tell the labor market,” said Fitch Ratings chief economist Brian Coulton. “The good thing about these numbers is that it shows the U.S. economy firmly got back to growth in the second half of the year. But job expansion continuing at this speed will do nothing to ease the labor supply-demand imbalance that is worrying the Fed.

Somewhere in the thread the author mentions that they were explicitly not allowed to inform users.
No, I mean the found amounts that were below thresholds of caring.

I've read through the reuters reports to read the actual letters and documentation they're citing and I still don't see anything convincing that says "J&J knew that their talc was causing cancer in US patients and should have stopped selling the product, or done a better job cleaning it up". My standard of evidence is fairly high after seeing decades of well-meaning but clueless people propose all sorts of ridiculous things for companies to do.
I think the renters are often acting rationally, given the fact that new construction is so overwhelmingly often directed at their own neighbourhoods where they currently live in affordable apartments. Accordingly no real surprise that someone would act out of self interest to oppose being evicted.

So rarely if ever is new apartment development targeted at a mansion district, and I've never seen an apartment dweller oppose that concept. I don't know why they would and I wouldn't expect them to.
I got a System76 last year and I have no urge to go back to Windows. I was worried from prior experience with desktop Linux 10+ years ago that I'd be suffering a constant toll of minor breakage and annoyances, but it's been a lovely experience. (It's also possible that every Linux DE these days is this good, I only have a single sample.)
A more likely outcome is that teachers will pay the price [1].

So what?

If someone makes the wrong decisions because they start ignoring signals then don't promote them or give them important coordinating responsibilities. Those who are capable of filtering out a larger fraction of noise do exist.

Of course there will always be folks whose preference is to read near 0% of their emails, but that doesn't imply organizations must be designed around them.
If this is true I think it deserves spotlight in a separate post.

Not an American, just a human being, but I was not brought into this world to work for 60 years in a job I only tolerate and then die. Forget that. That idea makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. I am a human being and I am capable of so much more than I can even imagine. We all are.

Zurich has community gardens because of that. Of course, demand is high, you’ll need to get on a list for a plot.

I believe the commenter was referring to the consumer (i.e., their Apple ID account) rather than the developer.
Autopilot/Navigate on Autopilot are actually really useful, especially during highway driving.

Other lane-keeping systems do nothing but try to keep the car in the lane (and some do a poor job of even that). Autopilot is rock solid in this regard. Like "I now actually prefer road-tripping 700+ miles instead of flying" rock solid. (I never road-tripped in the past because driving long distances wipes me out. Not so with Autopilot.)

Navigate on Autopilot is also super reliable in automatically changing lanes and exiting highways, and works on highways that SuperCruise and BlueCruise Hands-Free do not.

Traffic Aware Cruise Control is rock-solid in detecting and acting upon traffic lights and speed limit signs, though some systems already do this. This used to require purchasing FSD (it was a $7,000 option when I purchased our Model 3), but now you just need Enhanced Autopilot to enable it (which is $6,000).

I can easily see people asking for at least a downgrade to Enhanced Autopilot (a $9,000 difference), and I don't blame them. For example, my wife would NEVER use FSD Beta in its current state, but she loves Autopilot and uses it all of the time.

Given that FSD is included in the final price of the car that is used for car registrations, I'm wondering how those refunds will work.

Yeah, people tend to misunderstand the points of those movies, even if the message is painted so thick, it feels impossible to miss, like in Fight Club.

The movie satirizes the entire premise, the narrator, Tyler, and their club at every possible step. The whole thing about how they are all "unique and different from the sheep", all while they end up shaving their heads, wearing the exact same clothing, and getting rid of their names to just serve Tyler as faceless "soldiers" felt like such a blatant mockery.

And yet, despite that, it fell on deaf years for many people.
Well, it's not like group chat cannot have issues of its own (toxic admins, bullying... maybe not so much among friends, though as a teenager there's quite more risk to be paired with """friends"""), but you are right, I should perhaps (?) have left my concerns with Discord being a platform (closed, privately owned, for profit motive) that is US-based at the door in this specific discussion.

I spoke out loudly at a previous employer how it's really dumb to have our database and it's backups under a single AWS account. A single AWS account compromise, account issue (e.g. AWS shuts down account), or a disgruntled employee could result in the business being destroyed.

They took some half-hearted efforts to back up the data, but it was far from ideal.

Back up your data, and do it in different places so a failure in one won't affect any other copy of the data.
Perhaps it just uses Python's built-in garbage collector that just increases/decreases the data segment size as needed by calling sbrk()?
I think it's tough to write characters who spend a really long time knowing far less than the audience does, even if they're mostly behaving very reasonably (generously, even) considering what they do know, and not have them become annoying. Especially when they get as much screen time as she did.

Which, of course, can also be blamed on the writers. No one made them write it like that.
I bought my S76 laptop via my work's "choose your own workstation" program. It's a great way to support continued development of the software I use PLUS when you buy via S76 you get lifetime support for the device. The support is not something I've made use of often, but it certainly paid off the one time I needed it. Basically, it depends on your idea of "value" - do you value money (buy cheaper hardware) or time (buy S76 with support)?
9% false positives? That’s a troubling level of falsies.

The implications of using this tool are fun to think about though.

If it had a very low level of false positives, but wasn’t very good at identifying ai text, it would be very useful.

But false positive rates above very, very low levels will undermine any tool in this category.
On heroku be sure you enable database backups with heroku pg:backups:schedule, and also script syncing those backups on a regular bases to some "off site" (non heroku) storage like your own s3 buckets. It is easy to get the URLs to you backups with `heroku pg:backups:url`.

I have no faith that if a rouge employee clicks the "delete app" button (because did you know to give an employee the ability to update the ssl cert on your web app you also need to give them permission to delete the whole damn app?) you'll ever be able to get your database back (although you might have a 30 day window to do so, but I wouldn't trust it.)
>>PlugX USB malware

In this latest iteration, researchers found that it can go almost undetected even on the latest version of Windows, to the point where malicious files “can only be viewed on a Unix-like OS or by mounting the USB device in a forensic tool.”

It hides files by using a certain Unicode character, stopping Windows Explorer and the command shell from showing users the USB directory structure, effectively hiding files that it has copied from its host. It has been found to target primarily Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word files.<<

>What is making people want to restrict their neighborhood to extremely low density suburbs?

Because it's actually what many people want. They want a house in the quiet suburbs that they can sell in 30 years for much more than it's worth. This is obviously all because nearly everyone alive that can vividly remember a time before WW2 are dead. All they know are car-centric architecture. And we all know how much people love change.
The "magic" is no features. For example All day events can have a notification at 9:00AM and that's it. You can't change it. You can't have 100 events with different notification times. The phone only has to wake up at 9:00, check the events and that"s it. There are many, many examples like this on the iPhone.
From a technical standpoint, this is interesting. Like all other methods I’ve seen, it requires access to the original model logits, so it can’t be used in closed models like GPT-3 except by OpenAI themselves.

But I would classify this into the category of dangerous research. There is a conflict of interest: overstating the effectiveness leads less technical people to give undue trust to what is ultimately a statistical decision. And it shouldn’t require repeating how serious the consequences of this decision are.

The most likely outcome is that methods like this are used to diffuse responsibility. The next step is for institutions to buy into one of these classifiers and then to create a punitive “policy”.
I always found this class of product fascinating, as new ones pop up all the time. I remember...

I feel like for personal users, the product ultimately isn't sticky enough.

However, "enterprise search" feel more viable path especially this is where it becomes more valuable (and where the money is). Also anybody whose working at a large company would need to have some enterprise procurements to sign up for such a service anyway. I'm talking about players like Glean in this area.
It's never work hard, it's work smart.

This is because it's about working effectively, i.e. getting things done. Working hard doing things that have little to no value is a waste of effort.
The thought "this is actually trickle-down economics" did cross my mind while reading the article.
Yes that was the lesson. Not "if you go outside a driver will slaughter you" which is the lesson in the city, and probably a more accurate one. You still go outside but you know you're in the slaughterhouse. Farm kid by your own admission doesn't realize they're still in the slaughterhouse when off the road.

Very cool. We ship some Python as a Debian dependency and so this could become a really interesting way to package everything up.

> Because the culture of many development organizations undervalues comments, team leads (and managers) allow comments to get out of sync with the code—thereby increasing technical debt instead of reducing it.

Comment bit rot is inevitable, because comments don’t compile and can’t be tested. The only way to keep them in sync is by hand, which takes a lot of time and energy and is far from perfect. Of course,

> The first problem is that most developers are under great time pressure and don’t have the time to make the code so utterly clear that it requires no further comment.

So they don’t have time to write the code clearly, but they somehow magically have time to read and review all the comments and to keep them in sync with the code? And the reviewers too?

“If only developers worked harder…”. It’s nonsense.

Comments are great, they have an important place in software engineering, and I always regret when I forget to write some in a file or class. But they are not a silver bullet, and must be treated with suspicion, because there is no way to prove if they actually describe what’s going on. And that’s the same reason that they are hard to keep in sync.
I used to want 10ge on my NUC then I bridged it via Thunderbolt to a machine that does have 10ge and that has been satisfactory.
With Wasm + WASI, you need to explicitly mount files and environment variables. Inside the Wasm VM, the Python interpreter, source code and dependencies only have access to a very reduced surface. Although you're right that if you mount credentials inside, they will be accessible too.

The incident I was talking about was the event-stream[1] vulnerability. The attacker introduced code that looked for the data of a crypto wallet. This data was stored in the user's home.

By default, interpreters may get access to the same resources that the user running the process. In Wasm, the resources are granted manually.

To add to your point, there’s very little consensus among people on the subcontinent about it. My mom and aunts are borderline monarchists. My dad is a republican, and growing up I heard him complain about the British dividing and conquering by creating tensions between Muslims and Hindus.

As to the famines: cyclical famines were common in India: https://www.orissapost.com/this-is-why-indian-kings-used-to-.... The British didn’t cause famine in India, though it’s fair to say they mismanaged the response.

There's definitely some overlap, but overall it's fine. Definitely a good mental break. The guitar is a fingertip and wrist and forearm thing. So the wrist overlaps a bit but it doesn't mind me. I also am deliberately very aware of my arm and hand pain and tiredness.
