I understand your point, and you are right. Had I been familiar with the image I was working with, and the version differences in configuration etc. It probably would have taken me the same amount of time. I look at this from a more zoomed out perspective, this is just the beginning. The point is its capable and will improve.
A startup I knew had someone take professional-looking pictures of new employees, and add them to the Who Works Here page, with a nice blurb. After years of employees being poached by Big Tech the Who Works Here page is gone. To me this is also part of the loss of innocence.
Blockchain programming? It's already packaged up into tons of accessible libraries. To me that's roughly similar to knowing how to use string functions or OOP: just part of any programmer's set of tools.
I never give to any group that asks me for money.

Far be it from me to second-guess anybody's giving (motes and beams and all that) but this rules out many of the most effective aid organizations, all of which are absolutely off-the-charts obnoxious about fundraising --- because it works.
Presumably because the goal is to survive something bad that happens to Earth. If you're on Mars (and self-sustaining...), that's no big deal. If you're in the Gobi Desert, you're going to be the first people to get wiped out by whatever happens to Earth.

IT support -> write useful internal tools -> SWE is a path I have seen many take. The first role would be best for a small/medium company that hires based on what you can do rather than your credentials. Has to be big enough for a FTE but small enough that the interview isn’t too barricaded by Hr.

This is why work from home was such a boon. Finally i could have shower thoughts on company time. Finally I could get away from the incompetent coworkers who kept asking me to do their job for them... some days I'd literally help others till 5PM and then start my job when they went home. And then my boss would say "You missed your delivery" and Id be like yea, but the 10 people who cant function without me hit theirs... Somehow that lesson wasn't part of their MBA.

(I'm always happy to help those who are truly trying and willing to do the work!)
>> Do people not notice when it happens to them?

Not always because pay cuts come in many ways and even senior engineers do not see it, except after the fact or in the form of diffused pain they cant put a finger on.

- Example: Company says they still match 50% on 401k, but only on the first $3000 of contribution (basically, its 0.50 * 3/21). This is a hidden paycut.

- Example: Company offers new health plans with increased deductible/premium/copay/coinsurance. This is a hidden paycut.

- Example: Company says vacation days remain the same, but now need 3wks advanced approval, and then drag their feet in giving approval. This is a hidden paycut.

- Example: Company says they still reimburse for education/books/etc per offer letter, except require ever-greater detail/receipts and reject randomly for unknown reasons. This is a hidden paycut.

- Example: Company says they still reimburse for education/books/etc per offer letter, except reject randomly and then close out potential for reimbursement after 30days, forcing employees to eat the cost. This is a hidden paycut.

- Example (Actual one from Accenture): Company says worker in Manhattan should commute down to Trenton via train and then take a bus on NJ Transit daily. They will reimburse train, but not a rental car. Workers not wanting to spend 5-6hrs a day on the train pay for rental car out of pocket. This is a hidden paycut.
Is there an API for this? I'd love to make an Alexa skill that reads out summarized Wikipedia articles for me.
That really depends on the repos you are using, that's why distros are so important. If using repos from Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora (including RPM Fusion) you are 1000x safer than anyone using winget or google to try and download software from random sources.
Ohh that rings a bell.
Yep. DOM manipulation can be done to server-rendered views to do that kind of thing, just fine. No SPA js framework required.
I'm hosting an open-source S3 (SeaweedFS) on hetzner, and I'm doing a direct download from hetzner => the other cloud provider.

I'll look into what's going on by running some CLI speed tests on hetzner.
There can be many reason.

Because this is outreach. The goal is not to get space suit designs. The goal is to put the name and existence of the organisation into the head of as many people as possible.

To avoid collusion, or the perception of collusion.

It goes up when we're together in a small room with no door open, I'm planning on eventually retrofitting MVHR which should help improve indoor air quality and allow me to insulate.

In the meantime the Aranet is good for getting a handle on general air quality and how you can improve it.

This article is too kind. We're supposed to believe that all the brilliant minds at Google can't keep ahead of scammers? Sorry, but I don't believe that.

On the other hand, I do give Google credit for knowing when they can make more money by allowing a problem to exist than by fixing it.

Google got everyone hooked by being decent, by giving good search results, by giving people decent and free-ish email accounts, et cetera. Now it's all going to shit, because they've got everyone hooked so their free(ish) offerings don't need to be good any more.

My guess is that search sucks because they can extract more money from advertisers who want to buy their way out from under scammers.

Email sucks because they want people to have to pay to get any answers when things are problematic, and we no that no normal human being can correspond with any human that works for Google without giving them money. A majority of the phishing spam I receive now come directly from Google's shitty mail services.

Perhaps Google wants software providers to "buy" their way in to a higher position than scammers. Or perhaps Google wants software environments to seem to suck to make the Android marketplace better by comparison. I can't imagine any other reasons why Google would play dumb and allow this kind of gaming of their search results.

Title inflation for the sake of egos is bad. But sometimes title inflation is a consequence of ridiculous compensation rules. Where I work, it's basically impossible to get a raise without a bump in title. Which basically means that if you did a good job negotiating your starting salary, you'll be stuck with your job title for a long time. But if you were too cheap at first, you'll move up in the ranks every year.
x-risk is existential risk, as in humans get wiped out. Some big ones are meteor impact, nuclear war and disease. The risk of those things ending all of humanity are greatly reduced with a second planet. They're not reduced with a desert colony.
The trend outlined in the article is that startups tend to ditch openness once they mature. I think the explanation is pretty simple - it's no longer a marketing advantage to do so. If your'e selling to a startup audience then being open gets you eyeballs early on in your career. Once you start moving into more mature markets, this becomes less interesting to those audiences so why do it? It's hard enough to be open within a company, I can't imagine the operational overhead to do this externally.
Yeah it feels like it performs really well if you know what needs to be done and how. Spare no detail from the description of how exactly it should do it and it'll usually get most of it right and save some of the time spent messing around with initial setup and boilerplate.
> Which gun control laws actually work to stop criminals from getting guns?

This is a terrible argument. Lawmakers codify crimes, not deterrents.

The corollary to your point would be that, since criminals exist, that implies laws don't work as crime deterrents, thus most should be abolished.
Woah really? " But will easily allow "jail bait" or abuse porn"? Isn't that major flags for FBI and stuff? Can't imagine it's not been flagged if their servers are hosting the content?
Two things are correct at the same time:

* ChatGPT can make mistakes very confidently

* ChatGPT is incredibly useful in a way that no other tool has ever been, with a jump in effectiveness for natural language interaction that is mindblowing
Labor laws create all sorts of unintended consequences and secondary effects. In 2017 the Obama administration was getting ready to make a number of changes in the area of exempt vs non-exempt workers (i.e. overtime pay).

The changes were advertised as a way to help workers get paid more fairly for overtime, but legislation rarely changes economic realities. By expanding the requirement to pay overtime they made it much more expensive to staff entry level management positions. In one non-profit that I was familiar with at the time, the rules would have required payroll to increase by $100,000 - $200,000/year (maybe more, I can't quite remember the details).

As organizations do, they adapted by eliminating almost all of those entry level supervisory positions. People were moved down to hourly workers, with their hours severely constrained, moved up to more senior level management roles that avoided the overtime requirements, or the position was eliminated all together. I don't think anyone was happy with those changes within the organization but it was necessary to keep the organization fiscally viable given the new rules. It also made it much harder to move from an hourly position into management because the leap in capabilities and responsibilities was much greater.

Perversely, the changes were not implemented by the Obama administration due to lawsuits that prevented their implementation at the last minute. By that time, any affected organization had already made the structural changes though. (I don't think the regulatory changes ever occurred).

Anyway, this is a long way of saying the labor market always adjusts to regulatory constraints and TANSTAFL. The general economic principle that when costs increase, demand decreases isn't magically voided by legislation. Expensive labor leads to fewer jobs and makes it more difficult to absorb young people into the job market.
I'd say a programmer is to a software engineer as a handyman is to an architect. Can a handyman do the "dirty work" of most projects? Sure. Can they design a skyscraper to spec, tell you exactly what to expect in terms of resources and timeline, and roll with the punches of logistics and competing priorities? Probably not, unless they were already an architect just doing the job of a handyman.

That being said, as someone with a software engineering degree, I can safely say that most companies don't need engineers and can get by just fine with programmers. Anyway, in this industry there are many architects working as handymen and vice versa.

If you want to DIY it, Aranet4 uses a Senseair Sunrise which can be had for 1/4 of the price on Digikey [0]. Senseair has Arduino samples on GitHub [1].

Who are you to make those kinds of statements?
I have lost many potential friends because I chose not to give my real name. It gives me some anxiety thinking about whom I've lost, but it's a normal thing to respect other people's boundaries, and my boundary is that I don't feel comfortable with giving my real name to people I haven't met in person. And I have ethical reservations to go as far as lying to make up a real name just to keep a friendship founded entirely on something I'm not comfortable with.

It almost makes it seem like it's wrong to keep the social boundaries I have and that I'm doing harm to myself by withholding new human relationships just because of my discomfort. But I know that if those people are generally going to carry those standards then I can't change them, and it's my choice to disagree.

Topical Reading: Instead of Reading Lists
Most of us are using (usually free) VPN to circumvent the current ban like we do every single time the PTA bans some other website for whatever they've deemed as blasphemous content du jour.

It's just another day in this country at this point. Tumblr's been banned for awhile so I have to use VPN for that, TikTok kept getting banned and unbanned multiple times, YouTube was banned for a few years, and many people use VPN/proxies to access nsfw/porn sites regardless of how illegal they are. Haven't seen anyone in my cohort worry about the stance taken against Wikipedia, they'll probably unban it eventually.

>"I wonder if the biggest shortcoming of GPT right now is not that it sometimes gets things wrong, or can't cite its sources, or whatever "

It surprises me that people, here no less, seem to not realize that chatGPT has literally no idea what it's doing or saying. It's just trying to find the next word. It has no regard or understanding for what the word means. In response to this, people here just reflexively question what happens when a human is thinking, but I don't see that as a basis to assume that means chatGPT is thinking.
"Telemetry is not synonymous with tracking. You can implement telemetry while not tracking users. You can track users without telemetry."

Yes, it is. If you have the ability to track, then tracking is done. It is the nature of risk management.

I've yet to see an argument for colonizing Mars for this purpose, that wouldn't be a better argument if the goal were instead "build robust, distributed bunkers on earth, and pay families to live in them part-time so there's always someone there".

Cheaper, and more effective.

Most plausible post-apocalyptic Earths would be far easier to live on than Mars.

The remaining threats that wouldn't also be pretty likely to take out Mars at the same time, would be something like a whole-crust-liquifying impact, which we'd have a pretty good chance of spotting well in advance, and we could put some of the savings into getting better at that.

I think a bunch of smart people are also just romantics when it comes to space shit, and that's why they won't shut up about Mars, not because it's actually a good idea.

Hell, building orbital habs is probably a better idea than colonizing Mars, for those purposes, if we must do space shit.

I have an Airthings Wave. It does CO2 along with a couple of other things.

I really like mine. It helped me discover that I was sensitive to volatile organic compounds: every time I felt the air was stuffy inside my apartment, it corresponded to a VOC peak that was happening right then.

The one downside to the Airthings Wave is that it looks like hospital equipment. Grey, lifeless plastic pill design that was probably outdated even in the 1970s.

If you ignore how it looks, it works fantastic.
Declarative UI has arrived on Android via Jetpack Compose. So there is no need to create new UI in XML anymore.

The abiliy to share the codebase between platforms is much bigger draw rather then the way that the UI is written.
That's an excellent point for sure. I've always been, generally, a "legalize everything" proponent, but for something like psychedelics, I'm not so sure that the same ease of availability that we see with legal pot is the best idea. I definitely agree that what you describe would be majorly beneficial though, so I guess I need to think a little harder about where I stand on this issue.
Interesting app! Noy yet clear what it offers. Needs an About page
I am also a bit confused by some of what the author has said here. On the one hand he talks about not disclosing things because others are ripping off designs, etc, but in other places he's referring to things like employee salaries and run-rates, etc.

Maybe I'm dumb and not connecting the dots, but why would sharing things like your costs allow others to steal your business? I genuinely don't understand this, so I think I'm misreading the article.

> From envy and toxic feelings dividing teams and friends to businesses copying other businesses completely, the scene is getting spotted by more and more cases.

The first part of this reads like the traditional reason that "don't talk about your salary with other employees" was a commonly accepted thing. Is the author (/community at large) deciding that going the other direction is a bad idea?

Maybe someone can TL;DR in a better way to save my Friday fried brain?

I agree that public library access for people who don't own a computer is an important and difficult problem, but you're talking about other people, not the case being discussed now. Bringing it up here is a distraction.

For someone who is tech-savvy and owns a laptop, there is a simple solution: create a new, vanilla browser profile and use it only for logging into Google. (I do the same thing, but for Facebook.) You'd don't need any privacy extensions when you want them to know who you are.

That is indeed the important question. Unfortunately we really need clarification from the IRS here (or additional action from Congress).
Perhaps you have issues with reading comprehension? This is a thread about how chatGPT is being sold as a service to analyze legal documents, and it quite obviously fails at that. If your solution is to see a lawyer you are making my point that chatGPT is not helpful for this thing that people are saying chatGPT is helpful for.
Maybe I misunderstand but it's pretty trivial to render different server side output based on context and is common in most frameworks.

I feel the same about Rationalists and rationality. They even had an excellent approach with their motto: "We're only aspiring rationalists", but when you remind them of that motto in the process of them being not actually rational, it has no effect.

There's got to be a way to ~solve something that is so in your face, like right there in an argument, the very essence, but it is a very tricky phenomenon, it always finds a way to slip out of any corner you back it into.
I'm surprised to see commenters comparing use of made up personas to lying.

There're communities that create/change their personas to match how they perceive themselves, encourage their members to experiment with presented identities, and expect the society to respect and accept presented personas without questioning. I'm totally OK with that. How is this different from presenting oneself as an alter-ego though?
