> A contract stating that you're not allowed to leave without 3 months of notice seems extraordinarily restrictive. (What happens if you ignore it?)

You answered it by yourself, you just stop going to work, what are they gonna do, fire you? Worst case you will just lose some part of salary you already earned, but usually you can agree on some more reasonable notice period like one month to make both parties happy to handover the job, but of course there are employers who will tell you you don't really need to come to work during notice period to not cause more damage than good. Under absolutely extreme unrealistic circumstances employer can sue you for expenses you caused by not showing up for work during notice period, but honestly nobodyis enforcing this because it's PITA taking many years in courtrooms, so it's not worth.

This notice period by law is made mostly to protect the employees so they will have enough time to find replacement job and not end up without income within 2 weeks. Also while you are often paid by weeks in US, standard in US is to get only monthly payment. When people switch jobs the future employer is aware there might be notice period before you can join, so nobody realistic really expect you will join next day and they always ask when you can join.

Also if you have shitty employer who don't wanna deal with notice period they will give you fix term contract like for one year and then they will just decide not to extend it (you can do same) and there is no notice period at all. Of course some countries have laws against fixed term contracts, like you can have only 2-3 terms in row to avoid abusing this. Other solution is to use work agency to hire workers and not hire them directly, these are employed officially in agency, so you will just tell agency you don't want worker anymore and agency has to deal with his job assignment.
There’s a certain subset of powerful people who would love everyone to distrust the media so they themselves can be the truth tellers.

I don’t think the news from major media organizations deliberately misleads people. I think people often mistake News-based entertainment shows for news as well as things like opinion and editorial for news. There is bias but that’s not necessarily the same as being misleading.
This is impressive. It seems like you really understand the requirements of the audience that uses spreadsheets AND data centric Python! The REPL, in particular, is a nice touch.

My biggest concern with a tool like this is that the power-iest power users who would love it tend to work at big enterprises where they're locked into productivity suite bundles with Microsoft or Google. Additionally, if you get traction, Google and Microsoft would be very likely to clone your features for Sheets and Excel.

If so - how do you handle multiple people editing the code area at the same time?

Today it's quite difficult sorting fact from fiction from speculation. Even among the non-postal "decentralized" distribution protocols. The old saying that people become leery of media reporting when they see how their own specialty is botched applies to even the credentialed bloggers when they step out of their lane just a bit.

I've personally noticed fact reporting biases when, for instance, reading a story on the same event from Fox News and CNN. But the basic facts reported agree when they overlap.

As a European (a Brit) I haven't personally heard of either of those two people. Whereas I do know Messi, and I assume by comparing to him they mean "someone with rare skill for doing what they do better than anyone else (probably while making it look easier than it is)".

When healthcare is 20% of GDP and we still don't have access to doctors.
This is a good insight. When you see people complain about "misinformation," and especially if they complain about "needing to do something about it," your follow-up question should be: do you want your news to be censored, or do you want other people's news to be censored?

I suspect when most people reference "protecting from misinformation," they actually mean protecting you from misinformation, not themselves. After all, anyone sophisticated enough to recognize the problem is surely capable of filtering their own information stream, right?
I'm from Northern Europe, but it became popular in the stupidpol and cscareerquestions subreddits on Reddit as European salaries are so, so much lower.

Ok you guys, I've taken the Messi bit out of the title above. Please focus on something more interesting now.
Good questions!

So it runs all in a container. If you want to crash that container, you can! You can't (we really hope) escape from that container though. You have full access to the local file system and you can access network IO - without those you would hardly have a full Python environment. The container runs a Jupyter kernel with a spreadsheet run time. You can break the spreadsheet run time if you want. But it will just kill your own thing.

We've looked at wasm, but we want to solve one thing at the time and running Jupyter kernels in containers is a fairly well understood way to do things. Plus you do want to support server side calculations for a number of reasons. Let me know if you have more questions!

The sun sets slowly in the sky
A crimson curtain for the day
The birds bid farewell with a sigh
And fly to their nests far away

The moon emerges with a smile
A silver spotlight for the night
The stars wink at her for a while
And sparkle with their borrowed light

But you and I have no such luck
We cannot rest or close our eyes
We have to work and make a buck
And chase the cheese before it flies

We live in a rat race, my friend
A maze of stress and endless strife
We hope to reach the rainbow's end
But all we get is a slice of life

Interestingly, it almost landed on the Moon having borrowed light, but mistakenly ascribed it to stars doing the borrowing instead. Unless it "meant" the star lends its light. Lent light would be an appropriate phrase and sound.

Sun slowly set in the sky
Its crimson curtain fell on the day
The birds bid it farewell with a sigh

But you and I have no such luck
We cannot rest or close our eyes
We have to work and make a buck
And wrangle worms before they dive

We live in a bird race, my friend
A maze of stress and sempiternal strife
We hope to reach the nocturnal end
Live into the day, enjoy a slice of life

> Also, I think every car I have driven in Europe has a knob to adjust the height of the headlights. It seems like it is a requirement, but it might not be.

It is and has been for 30 years (76/756/EEC).

> Adjust the lights too high, and you will aggressively be flashed by the opposite traffics high beams.

Usually you can't adjust it high, because the purpose is to lower the beams when the boot is loaded (and thus the car is not sitting level). "0" should be the standard / reg level for a level car.

IIRC, Xenon headlights are required to dynamically auto-level because mis-adjusted ones were considered too dangerous. I'm a bit surprised that's not the case for LED headlights. The issue with manual adjustment (or even semi-automatic) is an uphill or a bump in the road will flash whoever's driving the other way.

I think a few luxury models have a local dimming feature, so they automatically dim the section facing other cars when detecting them.

It sounds like your lawyer put more effort into reading it than OpenAI put into writing it. Speaking more generally I've been surprised how many companies seem to just steal any random privacy policy they can find online to tick the box without ever giving it a second thought.
I'm surprised it's been flagged. It's an interesting topic so a civilized discussion wouldn't hurt, would it?

As an European all I can say it's a double-edged sword. When you are being laid off, you appreciate it doesn't happen in a Musquesque way and you have plenty of time to take care of your family and find an interesting job, not just anything. yes, not all companies are happy with it, but some will - and you can also start looking in the last moment if you feel adventurous enough.
The other problem is driver education. Some people just drive around with their high beams on by default, either because their low beams are burned out, or they don’t know any better
You are mixing up what something is with how it is conventionally formally modeled or defined. This is easy to do in modern mathematics, where students are trained from early on to develop every concept from basic axioms, imposing an ordered structure of definitions for convenience of exposition and proof without worrying as much about the inherent nature of the objects under study.

A concept of number is not required to draw or describe graphs. Indeed, if you wanted you could define numbers in terms of graphs. For example, you could start with the combinatorial game Hackenbush and build up numbers from there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackenbush
But the ones who aren't cartoons don't really do enough to counter the ones who do. Just a bunch of whataboutism and "anything to own the libs" mentality.

Also consider https://www.pinecone.io/

The obvious way to do a similarity query is to do a full-scan which can be done in a straightforward way against data on disk if the data is appropriately packaged. It may be slow but it works.

There are n-dimensional indexes that can accelerate similarity queries, pinecone uses them, they are not as effective as 1-d and 2-d (geospatial) indexes but they do help.

Sparse similarity search is its own problem, solved by full-text search engines like Lucene.

Dimensional reduction, say going from 300K features to 100 features, might improve the quality of your results as well as compactifying your data. It could be something you do once on a monster machine and then do many lookups on a smaller machine. That dimensional reduction might take a lot of resources, see

He actually touches on this as well:

> There is a very small body of exact knowledge, which it requires no outstanding ability or training to deal with. The rest is in the journalist's own discretion. Once he departs from the region where it is definitely recorded at the County Clerk's office that John Smith has gone into bankruptcy, all fixed standards disappear. The story of why John Smith failed, his human frailties, the analysis of the economic conditions on which he was shipwrecked, all of this can be told in a hundred different ways. There is no discipline in applied psychology, as there is a discipline in medicine, engineering, or even law, which has authority to direct the journalist's mind when he passes from the news to the vague realm of truth. There are no canons to direct his own mind, and no canons that coerce the reader's judgment or the publisher's. His version of the truth is only his version. How can he demonstrate the truth as he sees it? He cannot demonstrate it, any more than Mr. Sinclair Lewis can demonstrate that he has told the whole truth about Main Street. And the more he understands his own weaknesses, the more ready he is to admit that where there is no objective test, his own opinion is in some vital measure constructed out of his own stereotypes, according to his own code, and by the urgency of his own interest. He knows that he is seeing the world through subjective lenses. He cannot deny that he too is, as Shelley remarked, a dome of many-colored glass which stains the white radiance of eternity.

I recommend giving the book a read at some point if you have the chance (there's also a free audio book up on YouTube). It's a very thought provoking journey through how public opinion gets formed, and the myriad of different elements at play shaping them.
Read your own cite: nothing about the UUID in question is associable with an identified or identifiable natural person, which is what the GDPR concerns.

This is false and a misunderstanding of the GDPR. It is not about whether it is currently possible. But whether it would be possible if it was correlated with other data.

What differs pseudonymisation from anonymisation is that the latter consists of removing personal identifiers, aggregating data, or processing this data in a way that it can no longer be related to an identified or identifiable individual. Unlike anonymised data, pseudonymised data qualifies as personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Therefore, the distinction between these two concepts should be preserved.

https://edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/blog/ps...

‘pseudonymisation’ means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person;

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/

So, basically if we have a data set with three columns:

Personal name, UUID, Action (e.g. brew install fzf)

Removing the first column is pseudonymization, and thus qualifies as personal data under the GDPR. Removing the first and the second column is anonymisation and is not personal data.

Again IANAL, but it is clear from the GDPR that the only thing you could do without consent is e.g. recording what packages get installed/uninstalled, but without a UUID.

After the first dotcom boom I survived two layoff waves of 7%, about 6 months apart. Our branch wasn't loosing money but every office had to report enough employees to headquarters so the 7% can be met because that's the number that was used in the press release and earnings call. As others wrote at the same time company was still hiring (at least engineers) and some marketing positions just moved to an agency which then billed us per hour for the same person.

I think there are two interlocking arguments: first, a historical argument: news organizations substanitally misleading the public is basically normal, in most countries and time periods. Second, the structural argument: why exactly should we think that a news organization should be capable of providing the basic facts?

If you consider the decades of scolarship it takes to clarify extremely well doccumented events, like the outbreak of the first world war, it's clear that even with a mountain of evidence, and all the time in the world, the 'basic facts' can be stubornly elusive even with the best of intentions.

The idea that an accurate picture should be able to emerge before 9-o'clock, in a newsroom, in a haze of conflicting reports, seems pretty incredible to me: and historically, that's not what has happened. So 'accurate news' is neither something we should expect, nor something we have a great deal of evidence of.

> Probably would also help to have a single figure who can unite us to share more and all take personal responsibility for the collective good.

Part of me feels like climate change is this single figure. Instead of a single person rising up and saying "We need change and this is how we do it", it's the planet that we all share that's forcing our hand. I think that's great in a certain respect, it's reality smacking us and screaming into our faces. Of course it will mean a lot of death, but sometimes it seems we need to experience loss to stimulate progress.
