There's a bit of unnecessary overhead in having to externally declare and import the return type.

This really comes down to the dynamic vs typed argument, and to me the answer is "minimise the boiler-plate, maximise the guarantees.".

is this (1) the lawsuit you're referring to?

'cause those images are not the same. Sports events are just easy to fake, because they're boring - all sports pictures look roughly the same.

Edited to add: There's another lawsuit (a class action - 2), and after a little light reading, I came across section 5: 'Do diffusion models copy?', and my stomach jumped.

What they're doing, to make a point at trial that stable diffusion copies images, is _training images into the model, then using that trained model to prove that stable diffusion is a compression algorithm_.

This is a patent fabrication. If you train a model hard enough, yeah, it will produce the image you trained it on. And become useless for all other images. Congrats, you've just compressed your 7kb image to a 7gb diffusion model.

What scares me about this, is that the average court in the US is absolutely dumb enough to fall for it.

Yeah, it's wild how centuries of mistreating people under the justification of unequally-distributed intelligence turned it into a touchy subject.
I've been so disapointed with Siri. First, the latency is just plain aweful. Second, I tried a number of times to ask it not to interrupt me with notifications but alas, it failed to understand. I had to find the setting and toggle it myself.

The possibility we saw with this tool was in so many usecases, but we started with reports,document, research paper etc. But we will be expanding it into lot more, like it will be aware of data context, more intelligent, multisource of data, different data type etc. Possibilities are enormous.

One of my favorite composers! She wrote one of the, if not the earliest-known musical dramas, Ordo Virtutum[0], in which the Virtues are confronted by (and overcome) Satan. It's interesting for a number of reasons, but I especially like the touch that Satan himself can only speak, and cannot sing, being incapable of the divine.

She was truly ahead of her time!

I know of a company that had sent most employees to work remote during COVID. While this worked well for most departments, there were a couple of departments where a large percentage of people were not working (not online during required meetings, etc).

In a sane world: The CEO makes it clear to those department heads that their future depends on their teams working, and the department heads come down on the managers. People get written up quickly for not being online working, and maybe the worst few are fired. Both the workers and the managers (who should have been watching this all along) get their heads straight.

In the real world: The CEO ordered 100% of employees back to office (still during COVID), to avoid hurting anyone's feelings by calling them out for not doing their jobs.
COVID was proof The Right Data is better than Big Data. All those data sources to measure how many sick people we have and it turns out we just need one: Wastewater.

How will enabling alternative browsers from Safari's takeover of Apple-based products, somehow bring the end of other browsers elsewhere? If anything this helps prevent that and since Chromium is open source, app creators can distribute their own browsers if so desired. Lots of people like to complain about the lack of having 100 different browsers to choose from with different backend engines, but if it is so easy then feel free to get started on it.
This is so great to hear, we soon will be working on improving our tool on task specific jobs like research paper analysis, reports, companies internal data ,chats etc.
Because, the powers that be, a.k.a. corrupt Biden family, sold to chinese commies, do not want what this balloon was all about, because their chinese overlords want to keep it hidden. After the payload of spy data was delivered home, i.e., china, the vehicle is destroyed. Otherwise, capturing it and reverse engineering what it was doing in US airspace, and what data it collected as it traversed the whole fucking country, would be very useful. Don't you think?

They might be pushing hybrid manager/coders to move back to full IC / tech lead type roles, while keeping the dedicated managers with bigger spans of control. That would have the effect they want, anyway.

Mostly poor manners / not cleaning up after themselves. A few years back there was a family from the UK visting New Zealand that was so poorly behaved that their exploits were being tracked around the country in the news and they were eventually deported [1]. This article also cites a woman from France defecating in the street when her camper broke down. And examples of foreign tourists not respecting local traffic laws.

Not saying that this is representative of all van-lifers, but when you are traveling around in a van with no plumbing or trash disposal services, it does require a bit more responsibility on the part of the travelers to follow the rules and clean up after themselves vs. staying at a hotel and using public transportation. And not everyone is up to the task it seems.

Cameras are quickly becoming as ubiquitous and boring as light bulbs. I’m actually more interested in how a light bulb works than some of these projects that are targeted at software developers for learning purposes.

There are tons of these dev hardware projects you can buy which usually are centered around having a camera. “Did you ever want to see in slow motion? Now you can.” “Never miss a moment.” Go ahead a miss the moment. Big foot is fake. There is not much point to this anymore.

I see a lot of projects that hunt out developers as customers, but I can’t get excited for them most of the time. I think Playdate is one of the highest quality of this type of product. Behind that is some of the holographic 3D displays they are making now that use 3D pixels. They can go for $200. Pretty cheap.

Augmented reality is very lame to me. I think most of the hope for useful AR applications has been snuffed out long ago. Its the same question asked a different way, “Why can’t you just google the answer? Why do you need to do x,y,z (go to college, call plumber, whatever)” The answer is, invariably, nobody has the data! A lot of good data is being held hostage or destroyed by greedy corporations. Its a winner take all world. Companies are reluctant to have a brand new game.

I couldn't link to any websites that render incorrectly under Safari on iOS (WebKit) off the top of my head, but I think that's rather a side effect of WebKit being the only engine available on iOS: I don't want my site to be unusable on iOS devices, so I end up spending a lot of time trying to work around bugs that only happen on Apple devices.

Sure, this ultimately means that everything Just Works on Apple devices... but it's not because their browser is up to standards. It's just that I'm forced to make it work.

To me, this is very reminiscent of the Internet Explorer situation, where I end up baking a bunch of hacks into my code just to ensure it works for the majority.

> I think the way out it presents us is to start software focused businesses that are wholly employee owned without VC input; bootstrapped as employee cooperatives.

I like this idea and think it's in the same vein as proposed in Developer Hegemony[0]. Stumbling blocks for me:

- I don't think anyone in my network also wants to do this and I'm afraid to take the first step. This one's on me obviously.

- health insurance. In the US, it seems small business health plans only cover full-time employees, and a certain number of covered employees are needed to have a decently-priced risk pool (so good luck if not everyone is all-in right off the bat). The individual insurance marketplace absolutely sucks, at least in my state, cynically viewed as by design but also probably because it's a Lemon Market.

- reputation. How do you generate quality leads and close deals without either an established reputation as a business or significant funding?

i guess my take was that i find this a more excusable grammatical mistake than say getting a simple addition question wrong, which we've seen from gpt3. i could agree with "deceptive or bad writing" and maybe that's a more sinister error than something obvious wrong now that i think about it.

it's funny for me to think that i'm going out of my way to try and give Bard the same benefit of the doubt and work to try and find a way it could be right, the same way i would for a friend.
In Virgil, you can have it either way, anonymous tuple types with members indexed with .N, or flattened data types (without identity) with field names:

var p: (int, int) = (0, 0);
var q = p.0 + p.1;

type Point(x: int, y: int) #unboxed { }
var p = Point(0, 0);
var q = p.x + p.y;

Both will generate identical machine code with no allocations. It requires no escape analysis or assumption of non-identity (both tuples and data types have structural equality).
Yikes. I fear you may have succumbed to propaganda.

Can you provide sources to how "Chinese overlords" have manipulated "corrupt Biden family" in any specificity?

something about “narrated by Morgan freeman” makes movies a lot more compelling. a clone of his voice with AI would not have the same effect on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the whole, this is a rather more "equal" process. The top managers don't get paid the huge amounts they do in the US. However this also leads to all the unproductive situations you can imagine, with seniors running the company into the ground and the juniors not being able to do anything about it.

So let me get this straight: jobs are good for workers, so when a worker loses their job, that's... somehow also good? Sure, they were depending on that job to feed their kids and pay their mortgage and now both those things are at risk. But the real story here is that they had a job for two whole years and should be grateful to have been generously paid a miniscule fraction of what their work gained the company for so long.

Is there any case where you'd ever admit that corporations can harm workers, or is it really just impossible for corporations to do any harm within your worldview?

Facebook had $40.7 billion cash on hand in 2022[1] and laid off 11,000 workers in the same year[2]. That's literally $3.7 million cash on hand per worker laid off, or $370K/year over the next 10 years, if the recession lasts that long. Meta could definitely weather this recession without laying off these workers.

But let me guess, they don't have any responsibility to workers. The only people companies are responsible to are shareholders, amirite? It doesn't matter who gets harmed, we just have to follow these arbitrary rules!

I don’t think your interpretation is correct. All R&E costs are now required to be capitalized. “Ordinary R&E” related to 162 doesn’t exist. If it’s any sort of R&E related expense, it’s technically supposed to be capitalized.

I don't know, actually, except that I'm pretty sure his direct manager wasn't the first to know. It seems like HR knew first and informed his management chain as a group. Among his team, our guesses are that he let something slip and one of us figured it out and tipped off HR, or his other company found out and contacted us. Or, less likely, management got suspicious and asked HR to hire an outside firm to re-check his background.
I found it particularly respectful the way he called them Zoomies as he was laying them off. It was even more classy and respectful when he went out of his way to mislead people about his compensation when the vast vast majority of his comp is RSU and he can easily borrow against them (worth tens of millions of $).
Parents can be listening to their kids 99% of the time it will be transparent and uneventful. When there’s confrontation/divergence in opinion, by definition it didn’t work out through the usual channel, and of course a third party weighting in the balance will have visible effects.

The alcohol industry would collapse almost overnight were it not for the top 5% of heavy drinkers. So much for “drink responsibly”…
I think you are partially right, in that it should be normalized that some IC's may be delivering more value than their managers, and compensation should reflect that.

The broad version, that managers just don't contribute as much as the IC's they manage, doesn't hold much water in general - but may in a dysfunctional organization.

I have been both, and I would say your take is basically accurate, but it’s actually more fundamental than what you describe.

Diversity statements are needed because teaching a diverse classroom is part of the job today. Applicants must demonstrate that they’ve grappled with the issues that arise while teaching. Applicants who can’t articulate a salient position on real issues they will face on the job are rejected for being unqualified, not because they don’t adhere to some Marxist political agenda pushed by radical DEI administrators.

I agree with what you wrote in your other post, that a lot of the discourse here is from people who have neither read nor written a DEI statement. It makes the discourse frustrating, because it means people are getting worked up over what they imagine the process looks like - which is usually a caricature of the sort you see being portrayed in other comments. The dearth of actual experience on this topic means that these 800 comment threads that crop up here are low quality echo chambers.
I recently setup a new laptop for someone with windows 11 and was surprised how easy it was to get around the online account stuff. The wifi was on when I hit the account setup part, I didnt want to make an account for someone else (name an email and password for someone else, what a mess, no thanks), so I powered the router down.
The account screen didnt seem to give any options at all to work around it and make a local, but after the router was off, I got in without an online account, I dont even think the local had a password given, I could get in by just clicking a "Sign In" button.

I really don't understand this pattern at companies. It seems entirely feasible to simply let IC's take on more responsibility. It's easier to shuffle responsibility amongst ICs compared to managers without rocking the boat - why would orgs incentivize a "fixed" management structure?

The economist has an article this week that discusses this on a broader Japanese economic level:

https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/01/31/i...

>Japanese firms have long been reluctant to raise pay. But in the face of protracted inflation, leaders have begun to change their tune. Keidanren, Japan’s business federation, has urged members to give consideration to rising prices. Some multinationals and big regional firms promise hefty pay increases. Fast Retailing, parent company of Uniqlo, a clothing giant, announced raises as high as 40%; Higo Bank, a lender in Japan’s south, plans to lift base salaries by 3%, the first such rise in 28 years. The question is whether the smaller firms that employ 70% of Japanese workers will follow suit.
I don’t assume anything (nice strawman) other than that there are coherent explanations that would explain the presence of non-human technology in our atmosphere that do not require things like FTL travel. If we are going to weigh “extraordinary” phenomena then things which would require breaking known laws of physics far outclass those which do not, and many people jump to the conclusion that for non-human tech to be here it would have to have violated known physics. (It sounds like you are in this group.)
