What is "the media" that lied about every?

It's not one uniform block, it's thousands of people with different intensions and knowledge.
manufacturing consent isn't evidence. Its pop philosophy.
None of the reasons you mention cover what I observe every day in news (tv and printed) from all sides: stories not fitting the narrative being sinkholed, hit pieces on political opponents, puff pieces on friendly political figures, half of the truth always being presented (never both sides of an argument). The ideological bias is obvious and I don't believe this is honest journalists being coerced into this behaviour. In fact things like the various NYT drama spread over twitter when someone writes anything that deviates from the dogma shows this seems to be coming from the newsroom, not the editors or advertisers.

Journalists are welcome to burn their own reputation, it is theirs. But don't blame others.
I can't pass something with Python onto my team. I have to work within the constraints of Excel. My team sees the value of Python but none of them want to learn it, and none will maintain it after I go. They do however know spreadsheets (even complicated ones) so those I can.

EDIT: Sorry I see you changed your mind - so what I wrote maybe wasn't necessary but I'll leave it here. To be clear I wish my team would learn Python, but most of them get promoted and richer without learning it.
Blow this out to include any social media site: if some facebook or twitter group becomes sufficiently popular to the point of being able to market/capitalize on that popularity do the respective hosts have any claim to take over those groups or get a cut of the product?

If I rent space in a strip mall, don't I pay my landlord a fixed rate no matter how much money I make? Can he kick me out at any time and basically take over the product/brand?
ZMQ has fabulous documentation: https://zeromq.org/get-started/
Sure, third-variable problem is absolutely appropriate. But I'm not claiming causation here, just saying that drawing the connection is far from absurd.
We generally get support fast, but it's barely beyond canned response.
The real problem is more with their API which is not oriented for multi-app integration (or external), you have an user who would need to use one third party app for some activities and DocuSign for another? both app will technically have access to all their documents. Just a security nightmare unless complicating your organization setup and cost.
In the medium-term, the cultural shear between the US and Germany will continue to be highlighted by decisions like this.

Germany leans heavily to more and more privacy because they have the experience in recent memory of what a government can do with vast information collection and centralized authority.

America leans lightly towards more and more centralization of data because they have the experience in recent memory of what individuals who "slip through the cracks" can do. So in Germany we see decisions like this and in the US we see police using privately-curated DNA databases to defrost the cold case of a serial killer, and they're lauded as heroes.

(It's worth noting, of course, that this is all relative. Relative to most of Europe, the US is starting from a place of massive decentralization and minimal individual-tracking. Some people still find social security numbers controversial).
States rights!

Many states do require similar annual inspections. The standards of those inspections vary widely, however.
As a Europoor it might actually increase our wages at least!
Even at fairly high PWM frequencies, strobing can be visible when either the eyes or the source are moving. Which, in a car, they are! You don't need to have exceptional vision. Just glancing from left to right can be enough to leave a confusing and distracting trail of multiple images on your retina.
From the Homebrew documentation:

A Homebrew analytics user ID, e.g. 1BAB65CC-FE7F-4D8C-AB45-B7DB5A6BA9CB. This is generated by uuidgen and stored in the repository-specific Git configuration variable homebrew.analyticsuuid within $(brew --repository)/.git/config. This does not allow us to track individual users, but does enable us to accurately measure user counts versus event counts. The ID is specific to the Homebrew package manager, and does not permit Homebrew maintainers to e.g. track you across websites you visit.

IANAL, but an UUID is definitely PID under the GDPR:

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

Also see recital 30:

Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.

The GDPR doesn't only take into account whether an identifier can currently be used to identify a person, but also whether the data can be correlated in the future to do so (e.g. by correlating package installs with visiting project websites, thus deanonymizing the UUID).

The only safe way to abide by the GDPR is to avoid storing any non-essential data without consent.

I am pretty sure that Homebrew have been violating the GDPR for years by making analytics opt-out. Sadly, anyone who tries to warn them gets banned from their issue tracker.
Yeah I’ll give a +1 to MSI, their BIOS firmware updates have been nothing but smooth for me and I haven’t had to think much about which USB sticks I’ve used. I’m about 80% sure I’ve used a USB 3 stick at one point but can’t be certain
There is an infinite amount of things to report on. Every preference is politics. Most news organizations in the US are left leaning white collar interest groups, half the country is right leaning. Hence the results here.
I agree, but your response has little to do with my comment.
These are fair points if we read the article as a criticism of existing law. I didn't read it that way, mostly because of the current political context where "cancel culture" is a big issue. But I can certainly see how it can be taken that way. In that case, I can only say that I would strongly disagree that speech alone should never be actionable, there are just too many obvious exceptions such as the ones we've talked about here (libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment). Laws evolve for a reason. They are not academic exercises in philosophy, they arise from experience.
If you don't want to be busted for a secret crime, don't do a public crime?
I never had a problem with extended notice periods. The companies hiring me know full well how the law operates.

It offers me no disadvantage. Only upsides.
ChatGPT passes the Turing Test – now what?
I don't quite understand the logic where people being laid off from their positions / responsibilities and the jobs being posted are similar in nature.

For one, are you really saving costs when you're losing some individuals with deep knowledge of the job for which you would need to re-train a new individual to come up to the same speed and productivity as with the previous person doing the job?

Doesn't this also make productive / talented / hardworking people shy away from your job posting when they know that your company recently laid off employees?
I think simulation is a hamfisted word for the modern take on something that people have been considering for a long time. The idea that the universe could be "virtual" and conscious experience is more "real" than physical phenomenon have been actively discussed in philosophical literature since the 16th century, and it was certainly a topic of conversation long before that.
Congrats on the launch! I'm the cofounder of Mito[1], an open-core spreadsheet extension to Jupyter that generates the equivalent Python code every time you edit your data. We also think that combining the intuitiveness of spreadsheet UI with the repeatability and large-data-handling-abilities of Python is going to unlock a bunch of Excel-first analysts to save themselves tons of time by automating repetitive reports.

One difference in our approach is that the Mito spreadsheet goes from Spreadsheet -> Python code, instead of the other way. For every edit you make in the Mito spreadsheet, we generate the equivalent Python code for you.

In practice, this has been really important for us for few reasons:

1) A lot of our users are early in their Python journey. They might've taken a Udemy course or done some Kaggle classes, but generally they are not yet comfortable writing a Python script from scratch. Since they already have a ton of work on their plates, if the option is do the report manually in Excel for 2 hours today or spend the next 2 days writing a Python script to automate their work and save them those 2 hours a day each month going forward, they will probably choose to do it manually. By giving them the Python code for the edits that they make, its more like build the report for 2 hours today in Mito and get the Python script automatically so you don't ever have to build the report again.

2) There are 1 million and 10 things that users want to do in a report, so by giving the user the equivalent Python code, they're able to use the code they've generated as a starting point, not the finish line. For example [2], one really common use case we've seen is Excel workbooks with the following tabs: input_data, Jan 2020, Feb 2020, …, Dec 2022, …. In each case, the month tab corresponds to the same sort of filtering and transformations of the input data. These users get a huge amount of value out of actually having access to the Python code that they generated. The user will use the Mito spreadsheet to generate tab Jan 2020, turn the Mito generated code into a function, and then apply the function to generate Feb 2020 ... December 2022.

My point is that you do not know how the editorial workflow works. You may not even be aware there is one. There is. It usually accounts for a lot of this. Not perfect, most systems are not - but it goes a long way to providing better reporting.

Think of it from a coding point of view.

Many people think that some developers write code directly on production, to their personal style, and thats it. That certainly happens.

Other teams have coding standards, style standards. Tabs versus Spaces. CamelCase for Class names but something different for variables?

The commit their code, and do a pull request and someone else reviews it. Edits are proposed or demanded. Code is reviewed again, then maybe it goes to production. Its been known for production code to have issues, but generally after going through a process most are prevented then if the developer was able to merge in code without review.

The larger orgs I mentioned have a involved editorial process for editing stories.
> On the other hand, it is a little bit unsettling how much the author reads into this.

Exactly, and this is the danger--even if it's not doing anything more than regurgitating whatever text it's learned from...it's still convincing enough to trick people into thinking it's something more. Could it convince a vulnerable person to leave their spouse? To empty their bank account? To self harm? Etc.

Show HN: Time for me to reveal the details of my smart toilet with full-spectrum disease detection. It detects diabetes, pre-diabetes, cancer, covid/flu/cold, smallpox, hypertension, pregnancy, pre-infertility, and heroin addiction.

IANAL, but feel free to use this now open-sourced idea for your competitive product.
Ask to talk to their QA and SRE teams, do you think you will get an honest answer out of sales? Sales job is to read the room and tell you the answer that will make you continue to use the product.
Yes, hardware2win, have a worse product. Not everything needs to be phoning home all the time.
I think nowadays IP is less and less relevant when majority of people sit on dynamic IPs
I can't read because of a paywall, but it sounds like Microsoft attempted to fix the "no, you're wrong, it's 2020" problem by feeding current date into initial prompt, and then the bot noticed that it's a Valentine's Day which made it easy to go into love themes?
I'm starting a zero waste grocery delivery service in NYC. Anybody interested?
You can sign up to be on the waitlist while we get set up.

Basically we'll deliver groceries in glass and stainless steel containers and pick them up for reuse once you're done.
Congratulations on the launch! I'm very excited to try replacing my hacked-together AppScript with this.
I live in Montana where light pollution is minimal, so every time I drive home at night I have to use the Force several times and just clutch the wheel and hope I'm going straight while my eyes are scorched with LED headlights from trucks. I've noticed increasingly these also flicker in my peripheral vision as they pass, which is disorienting.
My professional opinion is that we should be using AI like Bloom filters. Can we detect if the expensive calculation needs to be made or not. A 2% error rate in that situation is just an opex issue, not a publicity nightmare.
You can't use math and science facility to establish that, because, like many high-status careers, math and science ability isn't the figure of merit for evaluating a practitioner. I'm sorry you had a bad experience in 6th grade, but in fact being an excellent 6th grade teacher isn't about how well you did in vector calc.
I am, yes, and sorry about it.

I don't like telemetry at all and I believe we have to find other ways to do QA. Hence my strong reaction.
It's not just getting those features implemented, but also shipping those to the user. Safari is the only browser that doesn't have autoupdate and has versions tied an operating system in 2023 and that's one of the biggest problems.

While you can be happy only supporting say the last version of all other browsers, Safari requires you to give it years before the marketshare of the new versions are enough that you can migrate to new features, thus making the fact that webkit had implemented those features first completely irrelevant.

Furthermore, the fact it only runs macOS makes it a true pain in the ass to test, you need to have access to an apple machine to test it, be it virtualized or remote, which sucks because even Edge has support for Linux at this point.

Even worse is the fact that there are indeed a lot of features Apple simply refuses to implement, specially related to PWAs, which has slowed down the adoption of PWAs by at least 20 years, ane that's if they ever make a comeback after the crippling Apple did to them to maintain App Store supremacy.

I could go on and on and on and on. Webkit is great sometimes, but Safari absolutely sucks and has been slowing down web development ever since IE stopped being a problem for most developers.
And with packages that compile.

Which the software that I used to be employed maintaining has actually broken homebrew compiles when they've been installed at the same time (which I think I made better but I never got the PM who actually owned the product to spend the resources to properly fix).

A good example of how the configuration in the end user environment can affect package installation.
Two words: evidence where?

> Many credible books on that topic to read.

Yes, exactly as credible reporter guy explained how the US blow up the pipeline. Many credible substacks!
Looks like <$30 to buy a single unit on DigiKey with a prevailing price ~$40, but you'd probably need a reflow oven to solder the unit. $60 for an assembled board at retail.

Bulk retail is closer to $20, so OP may not have been referring to negotiated wholesale volume pricing.

The solution is a de-Googled Android running an AOSP-derived distribution with an enclave (or 'second space' or 'multiple personalities') for those few Google or Google-dependent apps. You can either use one of the second space/enclave/container apps to create such an enclave or you can enable and disable the apps before and after each use (which is what I do). It is always worth trying those apps on a Google-free device since many of them work fine without having any Google services installed even though the complain loudly about GSF needing to be installed for them to work correctly - the Swedish BankID tool is one of the latter, it always produces a popup telling me it won't work without Google Services but does its job once that popup is dismissed.

Eventually there may be a non-Android 100% free software alternative but as it stands now the above solution works fine and keeps the data vampires from your door.
People deserve the news they click on.
>Now do how many ...

Did you check?

There's over 600 freight railways in the US.

There's almost 400 airlines.

There;s over 1200 newpaper companies.

Not exactly "extremely limited."

And, no matter how you want to argue, no single company or industry owes you a job. But the argument that there is not variety and competition in the US just isn't backed by the evidence. Every one of those professions you list has the US among the highest paying, if not the highest paying, country for those industries. *(Check OECD or whatever source you like).

Or maybe these "extremely limited" options you image exist also decide to pay more than anywhere else?

>Of course they can go and work at McDonalds

Nice red herring. If you want to make more claims please provide evidence (not anecdote, not more opinions copied from blogs) sourced from more than your opinion, since that will base this discussion on realty.
I talked about this sometime ago with another person. But at what point do we stop associating things with consciousness? Most people consider the brain is the seat of all that you are. But we also know how much the environment affect our "selves". Sunlight, food, temperature, other people, education, external knowledge, they all contribute quite significantly to your consciousness. Going the opposite way, religious people may disagree and say the soul is what actually you and nothing else matters.

We can't even decide how much, and of what, would constitute a person. If like you said, the best AI right now is just a portion of the language processing part of our brain, it still can be sentient.

Not that I think LLMs are anything close to people or AGI. But the fact is that we can't concretely and absolutely refute AI sentience based on our current knowledge. The technology deserves respect and deep thoughts instead of dismissing it as "glorified autocomplete". Nature needed billions of years to go from inert chemicals to sentience. We went from vacuum tubes to something resembling it in less than a century. Where can it go in the next century?
> Germany leans heavily to more and more privacy because they have the experience in recent memory of what a government can do with vast information collection and centralized authority.

I theorize that in a hundred years or so, North Americans will have learned this lesson the hard way and will have atrocities in recent history, too.

I'm sad I won't see the day when Bluffdale is repurposed as a memorial to state surveillance, much like the Stasi headquarters are now in Berlin.
I can see the complaints even then:

"Useless cookbook! My local grocer has never heard of Silphium"
Grandparent post didn’t say letting go low performers was an excuse. The comment was saying that the current climate is giving them free reign to make the “plain smart business” move of firing those people without the typical negative reputation associated with mass performance based firings.
I know python, don't really know VBA. This will open up a new world for me. Excited to try it out.
I learned something new, thanks for sharing!

What format works well for hardware caching?
I went to a lot of trouble to install an ERV — a Panasonic model. Brought my CO2 levels down from consistently over 1200ppm to ~500ppm with people in the house. Hot/humid areas make it difficult to bring in fresh air since the moisture in the air can lead to all sorts of issues and obviously it's very inefficient to have 100 degree air coming into the house when you're seeking mid-70s temps indoors. ERVs are designed to address these issues.

Check out a video here to see how these things work (this demo is an HRV, so it doesn't help with humidity, but you can see how well it works when there is a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors).

This discussion was just had on Joe Rogan's podcast about a recent CBC article, which appeared to be deliberately trying to equate the word "freedom" with "something bad and scary" through a guilt-by-association argument.

I'm staunchly anti-union and even I don't see another way forward. It increasingly seems like every company is colluding to set policies, whether it be salary, layoffs, hiring policies, or remote policies. What else is going to bring back your company to the table to negotiate with you as an individual company other than unionizing? I don't think there's any governmental function for legislating away inter-corporation collusion, now or historically.
I'd like to apologise for the overly aggressive tone of this comment: I was drunk when I posted it. I have long since learned that drunk posting is a bad idea and yet, sometimes, I still am unable to resist that temptation. Anyway, this post isn't kind, and whilst I do have some issues with the TPS and think Toyota's history is often misrepresented, nobody needs to read a frothy mouthed rant about it.
No, I did not down-vote it.
It's not unique to America or to the present day, "There's no news in The Truth and there's no truth in The News" was a saying in some regions of the world not all that long ago.
There is nothing in common between the two. They're entirely different concepts.
The deeper issue is that ChatGPT cannot accurately determine whether it "knows" something or not.

If its training data includes rants by flat-earthers, then it may "know" that the earth is flat (in addition to "knowing" that it is round).

ChatGPT does not have a single, consistent model of the world. It has a bulk of training data that may be ample in one area, deficient in another, and strongly self-contradictory in a third.
> You just classified 46% of voting Americans as bad people

So? You judge the moral and intellectual merits of things by how popular they are? That's your call. I don't.

> Both sides have outspoken nut jobs stealing the spotlight

Not really. Only one set of nutjobs actually stormed Congress in an attempt to overturn the results of an election. You've bought into a narrative that minimizes what is an insane fact.
"Almost" is not true. Did someone drop a bill in the legislature? Maybe. Did it even make it out of committee? Where are you getting this? "Almost" is doing a lot of work.
If your source was AM radio or Fox News don't bother to reply. Leginfo only, please.
The Messi comparison threw me, too. Maybe Alex Honnold would be a better comparison, or Ueli Steck for the European audience.
How many Americans believe that news organizations deliberately mislead OTHER people?

If you dig a little deeper, how many people realize there are different formats like opinion, commentary, and analysis? Opinions can't be WRONG, but they sure can be BAD.

You can only fact check facts. You can't fact check analysis. You have to apply critique (aka critical thinking skills, or a critical framework).
