That's not how capitalism works. Owners will hire the minimum number of workers for as close to minimum wage as possible. Any attempt to have government-created jobs will encounter major fights, even though the USA could use a WPA to fix infrastructure and do the inspirational public works that we can't bring ourselves to otherwise. Masses of starving people are just fine with the owning class.
After a scandal in our institution with medical professors publishing in pay-for-play journals, we were required to take an ethics class. Our PI scheduled this for 10 am, and not knowing better I booked an hour of time and brought a notebook.

The presentation was two slides. The title slide was presented, and then a content slide was presented. Professor's lecture on ethics was, in its entirety, "You guys know enough not to be unethical. Don't be unethical." We pretended to be learning from the second slide while someone took a picture to present to administrators, and the ethics class was dismissed. I had 55 minutes of my hour left.

Unethically completing an ethics class was one of the most ironic experiences I've ever had.
Why not put your money where your mouth is and start or invest in a company selling insurance to Cruise?

I would personally feel reluctant to do so, because I think insuring the tail risk of a company like Cruise or really even Tesla (pertaining to FSD) is a fool's errand and not a positive ROI proposition. And I don't mean now, I mean until proven otherwise.

There is no guarantee or even really proof points that the model AI works around even does a good enough job to account for edge case scenarios that account for most of the tail risk. If that is not the case, then the entire hypothesis around AI (which is that it is structurally more efficient than alternatives) really falls apart, doesn't it?
Sounds like how people join prison gangs regardless of any previous sympathy towards them
Well, the reason it's relevant is that we want to treat sentient beings well. The question of "are these chatbots sentient or not?" is the question, "should we consider these chatbots as entities which are worthy of some kind of moral consideration or should we treat them as just another computer program?"

EDIT: Note that I'm not arguing in favor of it being sentient here, I'm not confident enough in my understanding of sentience to say. I'm just saying why it would be significant if it was.
The high inflation and poor economy flowed from in large part from the first oil crisis in 1973, and then the second one after the oil boycott following the embassy kidnapping and hostage crisis.

The first oil crisis had nothing to do with Carter at all.

The second oil crisis was in part started when Carter was strongarmed into admitting the deposed Shah into the USA for medical treatment, and definitely made worse when the Republicans secretly negotiated with Iran to give them goodies if they'd hold the hostages until Carter was defeated. They feared an "October Surprise" if release was obtained before the election.

You will note that the Swissair plane returning the hostages was released for takeoff the moment Reagan was sworn in.

Finally let's not forget he was mocked for calling himself a nuclear engineer, when that was exactly what he was in the Navy. Why Germany can have a Quantum Chemistry PhD as Chancellor, but any scientific training in for an American politician is regarded as a joke, is beyond me.
This is like complaining of unequal vehicles at an airport: A relatively few can fly very fast and hold hundreds of passengers, but most are earthbound-bound and can carry only a few passengers. Of course Silicon Valley has inequality: it’s home to some of the most impactful people on earth. Hobbling these people will do nothing to help the poor, just like crippling airliners will not improve the cars in airports parking lots.
I... didn't say anything about the gold standard or austerity or whatever you think I implied. I also don't think the decade+ of ZIRP is a necessary consequence of fiat money or the fed or whatever; it's one of many possible fiscal paths which could have been taken even staying within the constraints of liberal capitalism.

I'm not even really attacking ZIRP, I'm attacking reconfiguring our whole industry around what was obviously a temporary financialization stage. Even then, I'm not even really attacking it - I'm just saying, if you hitched yourself to such a transient software ecosystem for whatever reason, don't come crying when it transitions out.
People have this idea that one day robots will start showing up all over the place and taking everyone's job. Ideally, the thinking goes, we will set up universal basic income so that ordinary humans can still survive without jobs.

But no- as you imply, AI isn't taking anyone's job. But AI can still be a useful and effective tool. It's a tool in the same way that programming is a tool; something that can be used by skilled workers to improve their productivity. It's another skill you need to master if you want to stay competitive in today's world. People who can't keep up will lose their jobs to people that can. And they won't get any benefits, because they weren't replaced by AI: they were replaced by other people. Setting up an effective AI-powered customer service system is not as simple as plugging in ChatGPT, it will take a large and continuous engineering effort. And the engineers won't want to share their paychecks with the manual laborers they replaced.

The UK is planning a HVDC connection from a wind farm near Iceland so yes, it's very likely technically possible but is it financially viable?
But is that even new? A celebrity or news personality may act a certain way or say certain things. That doesn't mean that is who they "really" are. People already don't make that distinction for real people and frequently respond emotionally and not logically. The technology is amazing but so far it seems like it is just trying to be as good as spewing BS as a regular human. :shrug:

Similar use case. I would not use this for anything important. If you just want to shuffle data around with something similar just use something like KeePassX, lets you attach files. Much more configurable with regards to KDF parameters and such.
That is what happens when people zealously try to not be "too clever". They make everything as explicit as possible for "clarity" even when it obviously hinders it for anyone who cared to learn the most basic things about the language they use.

I generally express graphs as a `Map k (Set k)` or similar, with extra data as desired. Using keys and lookups means you don't need self-references. I guess in a way this approach sacrifices some purity, but I find it works very well.
I don't know, the issue I think I have is how come it took so long? GCF files are handled pretty well in Steam already, so how was this not just enabling local service discovery and serving HTTP?
Don't we do the same thing with culture and humans? Those mechanisms within the human substrate are literally asking other "blank slates" to be something, and then becoming it with reinforcement.
Watching campaign events, even for "good guy" candidates, is really unnerving. There aren't many opportunities in life to have that many people, even if you're just running for city council, screaming your name and laying into what's borderline worship behavior. Off hand, only entertainers and religious figures get that same type of admiration. Doesn't seem like a good way to select a leader with the whole public's best interests in mind.
It only becomes nuanced when it gets framed by a historical context, when we can look back and explain it all. Carter has mellowed a lot over the years. He was a very young president. At the time, one of the chief complaints about his white house was that it was rudderless, that it lacked leadership. He gave an infamous speech where he described the country as being in a malaise.
This is what prompted me to start blocking ads many years ago…there’s simply too much malicious advertising out there and the corporations involved have the wrong incentives to deal with it properly.

As long as ad networks allow arbitrary code to run, and content designed to trick users, I prefer to centralize on a single source of potential risk (the extension developer) rather than the moving target of malicious ads from myriad sources.

A recent example readily avoided by not allowing the ad to run in the first place: https://www.securityweek.com/webkit-zero-day-vulnerability-e...
This is true, but crassness has permeated the public arena. Online, radio, TV, even print media, so it's not surprise to see it on bumper stickers announcing the politician partisans deeply dislike.
Human children are not in the cards for my wife and myself, but we have a lovely American foxhound named Rosalynn after Mrs. Carter.

My wife's parents were once legal professionals for the MPAA and lived near Washington; she continues to be touched by the way Jimmy introduced himself and his wife when they visited their home: "I'm Jimmy and this is my Rosalynn."
The Atrix was indeed ahead of its time, but it was flawed in many ways.

From reviews of the era, I remember that performance in the lapdock environment was poor. And since it ran an entirely separate Linux OS, the integration with Android wasn't great.

Motorola had a good idea, but the execution felt more like a hack job than a product they were willing to support and improve. They soon abandoned the concept, and it wasn't until Samsung took it up with DeX that we saw an improvement on it.

This iteration by Purism looks interesting, but my main concern would be performance. And whether Purism is dedicated to supporting it, or if I'll be left with a USB-C monitor in a couple of years.
I spent around $500 for a used Logic Pro 16 and it’s easily my most valuable purchase. Even for analog voodoo it’s good enough most of the time as I’m debugging logic level signals. I have a very capable Tek scope with all the bells and whistles unlocked but only plug it in if I’m working at higher voltages than the saleae can handle.
That is a wonderful question and is exactly the sort of thing that should be on the Babel website. You’ll find no such explanation or even a summary of trade offs that come with adding Babel to your app.

It’s assumed that if you want to support older browsers, the next logical step is to add Babel…forever. An incredible trick happens here, where the developer thinks they added the magic package which only bears a “tax” on the poor sap who’s stuck on Internet Explorer, presumably running eye watering amounts of polyfills on 32 bit limits of RAM.

In my opinion, the Babel team should start looking for a strategy that aligns with a world of evergreen browsers, and untangle the web of feature polyfills from syntax transformations.

It’s also not too wild to think that Babel is a symptom of a larger problem. JavaScript lacks a versioning mechanism when new features are added. A more self-aware Babel could use their connections with the TC39 team do what all successful JavaScript libraries do: become part of the standard library a la jQuery and CoffeeScript.

Alternatively, reconsider the velocity that Babel introduces to the JavaScript ecosystem. These tools might actually be self perpetuating their existence by making new features so readily accessible.
It shocks me so much that management loves open offices, despite the data and just plain logic making it worse than individual offices.
lol, I feel that Firefox is chrome but using Firefox engine. What I don't understand is that can see evidence of this if you cause an error and view source. It has chrome:// literally hard-coded and commented out.

Host a web server, kill the web-server, try to visit the URL, open inspector and look chrome.

Examples:

"<script xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="chrome://global/content/neterror/aboutNetErrorCodes.js"></script>"

Visit chrome://global/content/aboutNetError.mjs in your firefox browser. Why is Firefox accepting chrome:// URI's?

You can even browse: chrome://global/skin/icons/

Visit: jar:file:///usr/local/lib/firefox/omni.ja!/chrome/

(i'm on freebsd, so if linux: /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja!/chrome or something) too drunk to care. The internet is fucked.

I'm one of those people. I have a gaming PC filled with games and a Steam Deck with some games. Some of the things I want to play on the Steam Deck I've yet to play just because the download would take forever (intermittent internet access combined with horrible latency and terrible bandwidth). Really happy about this feature.
You kind of sent me on a scavenger hunt … I learned that Scotland and France were both founded in the same year: 843.

I understand the importance of standards, but I think the importance of the word “country” is a bit overblown.

The USSR had countries, some of which had 3166-1 codes, and some of which did not.

And ultimately why would the name country be that important?
Probably because an AI competent at playing the game is ridiculously hard in a game development context.

Meanwhile an AI better at roleplaying now seems to be a low investment for a decent reward situation ?

So… you built a platform in order to not have to pick a platform? I’m not sure I understand.

It’s also not clear to me from the landing page what Sora is, other than maybe yet another blog hosting service.

My point is: Removing a music track from the list of playable tracks is not a good reason to remove it from playlists. Having dangling pointers there, and handling them appropriately is the right thing to do.

This is true in a ton of cases where neither soft-delete or cascading delete make sense. Rarely, if ever, have I actually encountered the latter.
Well, that is the ultimate goal for some people.

With evergreen browsers it's not only about features, but also about security. If you can't update your browser to have arrow functions, you might have security issues. So it is in everyone's best interest that old browsers have yet another reason to be updated.

Also it can be argued that Babel gave IE11 a huge afterlife. IE11 support should have been dropped by the javascript community much sooner, and IE11 should have been used only for legacy apps, as Microsoft tried to. But tools like Babel made it possible for managers to say "c'mon just use Babel".

Also, while it is convenient to have Javascript features before they're available in Browsers, in practice the wait time is not as long as it was. And having a tool removes pressure (including internal pressure) for browsers companies to be fast.

And also: normally, projects using Babel have to pull hundreds of babel-related packages. The biggest complaints you see here on Hacker News about the Javascript ecosystem center around the massive number of packages. Well, guess what: Babel by default on create-react-app needs 133 packages.
The main philosophical effect of these chatbots is that some questions that were discussed by a minority of people for tens and hundreds of years suddenly reached the popular imagination, and became interesting to vastly more people.

Suddenly, we are interested in the same questions that Turing was interested in back in 1950 when he posed his "imitation game".

How does this deal with throttling those operations? Like, if I’m converting 100 or 1000 PNGs to Webp, I probably only want 12-ish operations going on at a time so my CPU isn’t context-switching like crazy and the PNGs don’t all load into RAM at once.
The idea of a Cabinet that had direct and easy access to the President made sense when there were four or five people, as was the case early in American history.

This reminds me of the stories I used to see regularly about how dirty your (one's) pillow is. I'm sure it's true, but having lived my whole life with an apparently dirty pillow, it doesn't strike me as something I need to change right away.

Also, I assume my floor is dirty, it's why I throw out food if I drop it (mostly) and wash my hands after I do push-ups or whatever has me touching it. That strikes me as more realistic than trying to keep a sterile floor
>the most basic things about the language they use

This is C++.

The most basic thing has been deprecated but is still supported for backwards compatibility.
You can manually copy over the game files even with Steam. That has always worked. Steam even offers an export option in case you don't know how to find the directory yourself.

The problem isn't the copying part itself, it's getting access to the files. Windows network sharing isn't enabled by default, modern Windows even disables network discovery by default. Even when you enable it, you might not be able to access another Windows computer if it's running a passwordless account.

What Steam is doing is automating the access control. No longer do you need to start configuring your OS accounts and setting up network shares. Now it just works.

High-throughput screening (HTS), i.e. testing a large amount of compounds in simple biochemical assays can't be compared with testing 10 compounds in monkeys. The point of HTS is finding active substances in a large collection of compounds (finding needles in the haystack), and then using this as the initial step of a whole chemical optimization research program that may lead to a new drug candidate down the line.

Conversely, the 10 compounds tested in monkeys will usually be advanced drug candidates just before phase 1 trials in humans. If you would give monkeys 10 compounds from a HTS collection you would learn nothing about what works in human disease because most compounds are inactive at a given target.

Every large pharma company has HTS infrastructure and uses this for early discovery (in addition to animal experiments at later stages of drug discovery campaign) - and these companies are interested in making profit by discovering new drugs that meet the requirements to get approved, not in generating publications or boasting about their fancy HTS robot.
I had an idea for an AR app once: KidBank. You map out every ATM location all over a city and anytime mom or dad are using an ATM they hand their phone to the child and there is an AR "kid atm" next to the real atm. The kid gets to make a fake withdrawl and learn about banking etc.

Implement Multi-Object for Loops
I think there are 2 problems at interplay here. First, there needs to be nomenclature. This is a weird semantic problem. Music is quite abstract in that sense. The schema is just a small sub problem of this.

Second, how to systematically tag the music based on the defined nomenclature? Without an automated system, it will be subjective and error prone. This problem could be maybe tackled on long term with machine learning.

Well yes, because “sweeps” are intended punish and criminalize being homeless, not actually doing anything to fix it.

Step 2 is to not provide them anywhere to actually live

Step 3 is to arrest them when they break the law now that they have no shelter at all, and so inevitably break some law.
