+1 on the opposite problem being much, much more common. Especially in any domain or application where there is some deep science or subject matter expertise involved.

I've seen countless VC-funded startups which promise to combine "shiny technology X" with "problem Y" to create "amazing product Z". A lot of times, I know for a fact that "technology X" has never even been shown to make a difference on "problem Y". As in, I can point to literature of some sort that shows how it has a marginal effect at best, or is prohibitively expensive relative to existing state of the art. That doesn't necessarily mean "product Z" is a bad idea... but _so_ many ego-driven startup founders get fixated on selling the technology story instead of the product story.

Maybe the current macro-economic climate will wipe a lot of these guys out, since they'll be forced to figure out how to execute on the product side instead of selling the same ol' obvious BS tech/science story.

The main problem with this kind of corporate mandates is that they are mandatory. People have diverse backgrounds, experience and needs. Therefore it makes sense that a sizeable portion will hate whatever corporate mandate is forced upon them.

Smart decision would be to let employees decide.

Any code which cares about splitting ints, pointers or floats into individual bytes, or doing network traffic, will have to care about endianness.

Now, there are of course ways to handle this, but in C and C++ it's easy to make mistakes, and it's hard to test.

I'd be happy supporting big-endian if someone wants to buy me a z series equivalent in power to a mid-level AMD laptop, and also get GitHub to add them as a standard target for GitHub actions.
Understood, these things are expressions, but must they nit evaluate to a boolean in order for if/switch/match to branch correctly?

I noticed proposals use google/bing search results (in english) to show support for an emoji. If they used multiple languages to show popularity (at least english, spanish, french, and mandarin) it would look different.

In general emoji are very us-centric, for example the police car emoji doesn't look like a police car to many cultures.

The formula (from their pseudocode);

m ← αm + (1-α)g // momentum

c ← βm + (1-β)g // new part

θ ← θ + η sign(c) // update of parameters

The parameter update is via the sign of the weighted average of the momentum and the gradient.

For comparison, the gradient of abs(x) is sign(x), which is the update with L1-norm.
I didn't do it because I disagreed, I did it because the 'trustworthiness' of Mr Hersh is the very thing in question, and a discussion about a story based entirely off of his word and credibility alone had no other way of ending up. Again, I would love to argue on the merits of the evidence Mr Hersh has presented - but too bad he hasn't given any! Where else could this discussion end up other than whether or not Mr Hersh is credible?

It is not an ad hominem when the entire basis of an argument is 'so-and-so says so'. Well, I think so-and-so is full of shit; why isn't that a valid point of inquiry?
I just absolutely fail to see the issue with CGI porn, even of the underage variety (because let's face it, that's all anyone is going to care about when it comes to banning it).

Trying to argue that fake pictures of non existent kids doing bad shit is somehow "child porn" is about as dumb as saying Saw (the movie) is an actual snuff film.

Is it vulgar and offensive - of course. Is it child porn - no, because the person in the picture does not exist.

>It is entirely possible to tell if person speaks clearly, easy to understand, or not.

Just thinking out loud here, but isn't correctness(grammar and spelling) the only thing we all(mostly) agree on? For example, someone well versed with old English literature may consider Shakespeare easy to understand, but I certainly wouldn't. I think "speaks clearly, easy to understand" are just as subjective as our notions of clean/idiomatic/readable code.
Flatness[1] based control is pretty neat.

Basically, you can define a trajectory (that is differentiable n-times) and then calculate the state of the system from that.

In this case, given the trajectory they could compute the speed, acceleration, jerk and yaw+rate for the tailsitter ahead of time using the model.

I totally love this idea, and would love to be able to think up a way to make it viable. My concern under current law in most countries is that it's just going to lead to the proliferation of the complicated ownership structures like we see today, where the entity operating the assets is completely separate (legally) from the entity owning the assets. Imagine a world where every train and every track is owned by a separate LLC, with complicated usage agreements shared between them, but somehow still all owned by a handful of "blameless" holding companies.
This “paper” is shit.

They get the most basic function of auditing wrong. Auditors are taught from the beginning that they do not look for fraud. You should not expect auditors to detect fraud. My wife is in finance and I have a dozen Big 4 auditors as friends. This is one of the basic things hammered into every auditor from day one. Auditors do not look for fraud.

If they happen to find fraud they need to report it. But they don’t go into an audit looking for fraud.

Second, using restatements as a measure of fraud is stupid. restatements can happen for a bunch of reasons, the least of which are fraud. Very often people make mistakes and thats why every company has a tolerance of error called materiality. Sometimes errors aren’t detected for many quarters and would cause a restatement.

As well the auditing rules leave room for interpretation. There is always dynamic tension between the accounting team of a company vs the auditors. The fact that a company and auditors gets things wrong and then for this to be classified as “fraud” is stupid. It’s most often times not fraud. Sometimes the audit partner changes and their opinion is vastly different from the previous partner which causes a lot of regurgitation of the financials and likely a reevaluation of the contract. But the audit partner doesn’t want to lose her job or go to jail so I think for the most part having strict laws and tough punishments is very motivating for auditors.

That said, I worked for a company that got shut down for true fraud. The cfo and ceo lied about sales in order to make their numbers. They both went to jail but this is the most basic fraud and they went to jail for a long time.

You’ve repeated this, but everything I can find online indicates that Israel’s Supreme Court is appointed by the president, after candidate selection by a committee. Some of the Supreme Court justices are on the committee, but they don’t form a majority (they seem to have 3 of 9 votes.)

Is it the perfect, ideal judicial selection process? Almost certainly not. But it’s not incestuous or unaccountable in the way you’re claiming.

In an ideal world, a cryptography library wouldn't have to care about these kind of details. It would be written in a completely cross-platform, mathematically pure fashion, and it would be the job of the platform to prevent information leaks (constant time, constant power consumption, ...).

I wonder if there is a CPU that you can switch to "constant resource mode" where it runs everything in fixed time, albeit slower? Or maybe you could run cryptographic operations in a black box (like an extra chip or a networked node) that replies on a fixed schedule?

In fairness to Microsoft, that's only true for apps that don't use the official packaging format. Official packaging format? Yep, if you distribute your app as an MSIX file then you get:

• Integrated automatic uninstall (which is fast).

• Automatic online updates.

• Apps have their registry and AppData writes redirected to a private location, which Windows can then clean up. It's a bit like the macOS app sandbox but the app isn't actually sandboxed, it's much lighter than that and there only for clean uninstalls.

• No need to retain downloaded packages or installers.

• If you use the .appinstaller feature, only the parts of the package that the user doesn't already have are downloaded so apps that use big runtimes (electron, jvm, flutter etc) can turn into small downloads if the user already has such an app.

• Don't need admin rights to install.

• Integration with Windows network admin tools. MSIX is declarative so Windows can do things like make apps appear without them being actually installed.

• There's a tool that monitors other installers and converts them into MSIX files.

So Windows has solutions for a lot of these problems. Unfortunately developers don't know about it and that's partly because Windows has a lot of bugs, especially in Windows 10 (which hasn't been receiving bug backports for a long time now). The best way to get these features is to use Conveyor which is a tool that abstracts you from the packaging tech and automatically works around the bugs (Disclosure: I wrote Conveyor). It also extends it with other useful features like checking for and automatically applying updates every time the app is run (if you want that):

I strongly disagree. This presumes that the employee is a free agent able to decline - this is rarely unambiguously true in the US economy, particularly for service workers. Employees may also have extremely limited negotiating power and be forced to accept a "shrink wrapped" contract.

Reasons the employees might not consent but still go through with the fingerprinting.

- Every other employer mysteriously started doing the same thing as their owned by the same franchise owner and/or their friends.

- There are no other employers.

- You live paycheck to paycheck and can't just quit a job.

- Commuting to a different site would increase your gas bill.

- The extra .25 that BK pays is necessary for you to live.
After a couple of years of coding Rust, I found the error system, including the ?, well thought out. It is explicit and clear that the error is or maps to the function return error.

The only thing is that Rust rightfully uses the ? to return early system on option as well, which removed the ability to have None coalescing with "?". This was the right choice from a language point of view, but I wish there would be a None coalescing syntax in Rust.
Imagine being in prison and getting raped by some guy in the shower yet you keep taking showers. You adapt to hostile conditions out of neccesity and helplessness.

That's an extreme, but you get the point. When the law says get consent, it clearly means there is none implied by participation. Even if the employee signs a paper on their own volition granting consent, your inability or refusal to obtain that consent makes you a violator of the law because as far as you know and can prove in court, your finger print collection was being done without you specifically knowing about that employee's consent. It is your state of mind and intent that is a violation of the law .

>It feels to me that providing your print to begin with without coercion fulfills consent. I understand that the need to keep one’s job can be seen as coercion but I am confident the percentage of employees that actually objected at the time was negligible.

This comes across as a pretty privileged take. For many fast-food workers, a few things are true:

* They have no money or other job opportunities

* They have a legal requirement to work (parole, child support, rehab)

* The local franchise operator is influential and owns multiple franchises

* Already owed pay (and already spent pay) are locked behind these barriers

* The average fast food worker doesn't have education or resources to challenge them

It absolutely is coercion, and another arm of corporatism.

I don't think so. The nakedness of a 10/10 virtual girl is not in the same league as the nakedness of a 4/10 real girl. That's not a gap that can be overcome by the virtual girl's nakedness getting better and better. As proof, I'm 100% certain that I would choose a relationship with a 4/10 real girl over a 10/10 virtual girl's nakedness without a second thought.
Well, that'll be an unbiased conclusion.
As I've said elsewhere, the question of whether or not Mr Hersh possesses a sound mind is relevant to the matter as the discussion was already revolving around whether or not he's a trustworthy figure in journalism.

It has helped me see classes as a group of functions with parameters in common. The constructor helps me reduce the amount of params passed to each function. If I avoid mutating the internal state across function calls, I'm just using them as a way to group functions together (as a module would).

Instantiating and then calling different methods helps me test a process at different points of the executing (testing and debugging). Inheritance helps me clean up stuff that's repeated in specific sub-problems. Mixins/modules help me in a similar way, but for stuff that's reusable in unrelated problems.

I'm writing this with Ruby in mind. Seeing how OOP constructs can help me manage code that's written in a functional style has given me a middle ground: I started as 'FP is superior; use everywhere; avoid OOP languages' and now see the OOP stuff just as tools that can make it easier for me to encapsulate and reuse logic. Obv this comes with footguns: taking outside params in methods, local variables changing behaviours, indirection from inheritance/extension - the list goes on and other languages have their own. There's problems with it but as the author says, these things aren't all-or-nothing - so you can nudge the codebase in the FP/'pure' direction.

I had totally forgotten about this... the pure hell of making LAN stuff work across different versions of windows, with weird routers that wouldn't work, with different network cards, and spending literally HOURS trying to get it to work. These days, it feels much more rare that if you're trying to do something for hours that you will actually succeed, but back then spending 3-4 hours trying to get it working there was still a lot of hope, because you hadn't tried every combination of every single setting/cable yet.

Overseeing the final result? That's fine with me, especially if the working relationship is one-on-one versus part of an organization.

If I had to guess, assuming Bing is built off Open AI, they're likely calling the Moderation API (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/moderation/overview).

After Bing has finished generating a message, it will likely call the moderation API with the message it has generated to see if it accidentally generated anything inappropriate. If so, it'll delete the message and replace it with a generic "Sorry, I don't know how to help here." message instead.

EDIT: I tried calling the moderation API with the message in your example and it does get flagged for violence:

Not sure about other Lisp languages, but Clojure has thread operators that allow you to compose function calls this way, allowing you to visualize code in that preferred left-to-right (or top-to-bottom) order.
