Anyone come up with a term for this type of deliberate prompt baiting yet?

Personally, I am over the showmanship aspect of this behavior, and would go with something derisive, like botsturbaition, as in "quit botsturbaiting all day and be productive!"
Smaller, safer, cheaper? Modular nuclear plants could reshape coal country
A high-salary worker (like a Facebook employee) has more than their immediate survival needs covered. It's pretty easy to drop a high-paying job and coast on the inevitable savings (in cash and/or securities) for a good long while. At that point, priorities shift from survival to satisfaction.
My work environment has been improved by AI tools so far. I do hope it never gets to the point where the expectation is that devs are just full time code reviewers. Feel like it would get boring at that point.
A long, long time ago I recall it being tied to device UDIDs, then it moved to "whoever got their hands on the .mobileconfig leaked from the Apple dev portal". It was a race after WWDC announced the next iOS as to who'd have the .mobileconfig to share first.
Drunk tourists don't care? At least where I live scooters are just littered all over until they get picked up which can be hours. Might not even be the rider dumping them in the river.
Yep, and I always additionally just disable pw authentication altogether, and set PermitRootLogin to either No or without-password.

You can also do things like firewalld off (or with hosts.allow) 22 to just an ssh bastion/jumphost src (or your house IP), but I find that’s usually not necessary (although an excellent further step if you are a bit paranoid) as long you do what was mentioned in first paragraph.
If significantly bigger models than now got better results we would have seen papers about that a long time ago so that the team/company can get more funding, lots of rich actors has worked on that for years.

If it doesn't produce better results however then they want their competitors to waste lots of money to make the same mistakes, there is really no benefit from publishing that and lots of drawbacks.

Otherwise it seems too much of a coincidence that Google and OpenAI ended up with models of basically the same size. Google could have trained a model 5x-10x larger easily, it isn't that expensive to them, but for some reason we didn't see that, and GPT-4 just never seems to launch.
Even assuming they performed optimally, the reduction in stopping distance would not have been anywhere near 100%. It depends on train length, weight, and speed, and some other train car standards but a mean estimate would be a 13 to 39% reduction in the stopping distance. How many less cars does this translate to as far as a derailment? This study [1] suggest 20% less. Contrast that with an official saying that ECP brakes would have "avoided that monster pile up"[2]. If 50 cars derailed then maybe we could see ten fewer cars derailing in a similar accident. Is that worth it? I don't know. But I don't believe it would have completely prevented it.

I always run from the police.

60% of the time, it works every time.

(Edit: This is humour. I don’t always run from the police. I mostly run when they have no reason to chase, because you can always act really confused and be unsure why they were chasing you, arguing you were just late for a meeting.)
Is it still the only library for such that lets developers easily set code comments in a completely different font?

There are definitely optimal requirements outside of the minimum requirements but keep in mind what is optimal and what is minimal is going to be different between "supported" and "currently working" installs.
It can do it, the challenge is the amount of markup. I have a system that can do it given a template. Which you can generate or manipulate the JSON with the content using the AI, but the template doesn't really fit in memory. Although something like pug.js would fit for a lot of templates but is a security issue.
This kind of blind techno-utopianism is exactly how we got into this predicament.

> goaccess is pretty neat for a C project, and it’s a demonstration why you shouldn’t use C to write complex projects

Or , it's an example of how not to write a complex project in C. None of the issues the author points out are issues with C in general, they're issues with how the developers coded the project.

The only issues the author brings up are:

* They don't use the type system

* They don't use const correctness (although I'm not sure how C const differs from C++ const if it does at all)

* They use unsafe functions like strlen instead of custom string types

* They complain about the lack of container types (but that's just an issue with C in general and you'll either have to forego type safety and use ugly macros or rewrite a ton of code afaik)

* They complain about portability via #ifdefs and then complain that code paths that aren't executed aren't going to be tested (I don't know what the author is expecting here. If you have tests you can use them, but if you have no way to run the tests for platform X, but somebody added the code once upon a time, what's wrong with leaving the code and putting a note that says YMMV. Also, what does #ifdefs have to do with this? Whether platform code is locked away in a #ifdef or an abstract interface that never gets tested, it's the same problem)

* They complain about dynamic linking. But that's something you can avoid if you want by statically linking like they mention

There are plenty of good reasons to hate on C, but all of the problems listed above can (and usually are) avoided by C devs, so this feels like a hollow argument.

I was interested in hearing some of the challenges that the author ran into while trying to upgrade a C project to a modern language, but it sounds like they didn't even do that. They just complain about this particular projects dev style, which is fine, but it's not what the title says this post is about.

> ramp .. into full SaaS

I think the local first ideology can enable an alternative way to sell B2B, from the bottom up.

Sell to the users directly, at a cheap price and prevent the issues that stems from enterprise sales. This usually only works for small to medium sized businesses, and very rarely large businesses. However, due to the cheap price, the budget for this software that runs locally could be kept on the discretionary account of even large-ish businesses.

Then, if the quality and value of the software is demonstrated, it should grow organically as users recommend it to other people around them.

Over time, the need for enterprise features would arise - such as Single Sign On, and directory integration, sharing of data, etc. Up the charge for these to make up for the loss of revenue early on from early cheap sales.
Definitely marketing hyberbole but if they need to use the tag dart, presumably it is someone who is fleeing from the police, so they are _at least_ guilty of eluding, with probably a very high conviction rate for at least that offense, if they go to trial.
Again, review the definition of "rural". Just pretending words mean what you want them to mean is quite literally, definitionally, bullshitting.
Ideally they don’t need to be read, because they are lived and become the culture. But the document can help clarity of thought and bring in new hires.
OTOH a lot of chases involve the suspect using several vehicles over the course of the chase. If they know cops break lose after darting, then they will steal another stolen car and ditch the current one with the dart. It seems like piloting a drone would be a lot easier and cheaper than chasing with cars, darts, or helicopters, since even if you are pursued by a helicopter, you can take a page out of Grand Theft Auto and wait under an overpass for your stars to go down:

There can be drawbacks but for most types of tasks this works very well.
Does MusicBrainz model its data in a compatible way with WikiData?

Fossil Source Code Management (fossil-scm.org/) ticks all these boxes. It's amazing in every way except the ones most relevant to this thread: it's not for web development! (Except as a means of version control for your web-dev project. And managing tickets, and discussion and other project management things.)

The reason I bring it up is that in spite of this apparent misfit-to-topic is that it's a superb exemplar of what a local-first application can operate like. It does not sacrifice network presence and utility. I wish for more projects to work like Fossil does, only tackling different problem domains. (My personal vote is for blog or CMS.)

Do performance reviews work better than just constructive feedback in 1:1s though?

Reviews seem to be a pathway for the company to get rid of people rather than to help them grow. As a growth pathway, it is very ineffective. Other efforts work better imo - mentoring, 1:1s, 360 degree feedback, learning budgets, workshops, introducing a culture more appreciative of learning, and so on. They can cost less in total work hours spent than performance review weeks too.
Capacity of course has a cost. One of the benefits in computing is we can easily up and downshift Capacity based on this like queue latency.
Co-pilot and ChatGPT are two of my favourite tools this year
Not sure if I buy the fun part of work (sure that is important too) but frankly I'd sacrifice X% for somewhere that is secure, absent political bs and the ensuing stress and damage to mental well being. Heck if this saves me time I can use that time to do fun things/projects outside work. Given big tech has shown it's true colors why bother?

I have lost count of how many sites Cloudflare has interfered with, insisting on proving myself human yet again, during the past three months. This is about the time I started using the LibreWolf browser (even disabling adblocker). When I open up Chromium, the problems stop.
I think a vanishingly small number of criminals have police scanners and radar detectors in this day and age. Especially since police have largely moved over to encrypted trunked radios.
FWIW: the "sensitive" people seem to be your cohort, no? Most of us just Don't Care. It's a dumb thing, but it's not a genuine affront to real fans of the art either. I mean, be real: have you actually read Matilda or The BFG to an actual child?
You don't know your history. The DMCA was passed in 1998 with the express purpose of saving that fully functioning internet, as BBS systems and ISPs were being held liable for vicarious copyright infringement and contributory copyright infringement, making the business of operating an ISP legally and financially untenable. There was a realistic danger that no business would continue operating a public ISP under the existing legal framework after notable cases like Playboy Enterprises Inc v Frena. ISPs lobbied legislators in the 104th Congress (1995-96) for legislation that would preserve the open internet by shielding them from that liability for users' actions, and this lobbying directly resulted in the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (aka Safe Harbor) getting written into the DMCA.
Do you guys remember that subreddit Gifs That End Too Soon? I feel like all of these Twitter screenshots are the same thing. I want to see what it says when you reply "you're lying, you can't do any of that".
This is an interesting article, but I think it's hard to form any conclusions about the correct way to parent children from this information due to the inherent selection bias.

It may be true that a lot of exceptional people were taken seriously by their parents and given serious responsibilities, but I think that also may be due to the parents realizing that their children were exceptional. If you have a child who's closer to average intellect, you might not get the same outcome.

It's also possible that these approaches just increase the variance of outcomes. So it might be that they generate exceptional people 1% of the time, but generate miserable people who accomplish nothing 99% of the time.

I don't think that this is likely to be true to that magnitude, and I think a lot of the advice seems pretty good intuitively (I feel like being treated seriously by my parents when I was young was a big benefit), but am curious if there is any more data-driven approach to the question of how to best raise your kids.
I typically can no longer dream or even day-dream. This is in stark contrast to as a kid where I was pretty much always day dreaming. For me it is how busy and mentally taxing my job is. I was between jobs years ago and I was able to day dream again and dream at night and enjoy books and games that require a level of immersion. I am back to no longer being able to day dream or dream at night.

I also think smart phones Make it harder when any lingering question that comes to mind can be answered instantly.

Indeed, likely better than doing a PIT maneuver. In terms of stack-ranking pursuit tools Choppers are expensive/not all forces have them, PIT is the most accessible but quite dangerous, grappler is probably better, but these GPS dart things are probably a level better again. Never the less, I really like the grappler thing, I find it somehow quite... elegant!

The only thing SLAs do is tell you how much you will be compensated for downtime. If a fibre cut happens, you can end up with a 16 hour outage regardless of what the SLA guarantees. It all depends on the nature, location and extent of the damage. A couple of summers ago one of my wavelengths was down for more than 16 hours. 3 x 432 count cables had to be replaced through 3 manholes because a fibre seeking backhoe ignored the locates. Splicing high count cables takes a lot of time (even with ribbon fibre).

For my org the performance review should not be surprising for the employees. Through 1:1 and continuous feedback they should exactly know where they are. This should be the opportunity to formalize the feedback and set goals for the next cycle.
The supposition that every police action is justified, simply because it's being conducted by police, is defined as "authoritarianism".
It’s just called stack ranking now. And it doesn’t make sense. A company can be full of high performers or low performers, but the stack ranking principle itself would make management blind to that.
All these big companies give grade employees on a curve. So, in Meta parlance, only 5-10% of employees can be "Strongly Exceeds Expectations". This is measured across the director level, so units of 100-200 employees.

Here's the problem: at Meta 10-15% of employees in these buckets has to get a subpar rating. This includes Meets Most Expectations (2 MMs in a row probably means you're on a PIP), Meets Some (probably auto PIP), Meets None (fired) and Non Regrettable Loss. This last one applies to rating employees who leave.

NRL in this bucket may have changed. For one thing there was talk that HR not management was responsible for NRL designations because otherwise orgs made up their quota of subpar ratings by using leaving employees as ablative shielding.

Don't believe me about these quotas? Two words: "tbgs genTargetPercentage".

I personally don't have issue with avoiding ratings inflation in principle. While I was Google I don't believe subpar ratings had a quota like FB/Meta has (or at least had).

This is classic "up or out" GE nonsense. And I can tell you from experience that this is incredibly toxic. The entire calibration process devolves into a popularity contest and rewards those who are good at politics. While in a growth period, these problems didn't tend to matter.

I said it when the layoffs were announced: those who were laid off were largely the lucky ones. More layoffs would be coming and those would be with forced attrition. This is what this is. Subpar ratings hurt your bonus and equity refreshes and and will make it more difficult to transfer teams. All of this is by design. You're in that (now increasingly wider) band of employees they want to quit rather than fire.

Thanks for the data point. That sucks.

I guess generally speaking, federation works well for DNS itself but not so well for email, since the malicious stuff you can do with DNS is greatly limited. Abuse/spam is everywhere, not just email, and the sad part is that providers not only went and rolled their own anti abuse systems, but they also went to great lengths to keep them secret.

Without solving the spam problem, we won’t see decentralized or even federated systems widely popularized for any products which has these incentives. This includes mastodon, Nostr etc. The worst part is that projects can become pretty big before the spam starts, so it kills projects at the worst possible time. I wish the FOSS community came together and focused on finding solutions that work, because decent abuse prevention today is neither easy nor cheap to get right. And going without one is a ticking time bomb.

Oh yeah that's an interesting point. Could be a product of the environment. Product designers in Cupertino aren't having that issue, so it's probably "not a problem" in their eyes.
I can agree with the singularity being a continuous transition in time and across people.

The future is becoming less predictable for all of us.

And the fraction of us that study, drive or otherwise understand the biggest changes at any given date are getting fewer.

But it is happening as an exponential toward a critical value. Not an S-shaped curve as there won't be any slowing down.
Stop working so much and find an identity greater than your job. You will learn to recognize a job for what it is: a trade between brain space, time, and money. If you can reduce the time but not the brain space you will not likely improve much. If you can reduce both the time and the brain space, you will.

Then they seem kind of superfluous to 1:1s, right? Without 1:1s, performance reviews alone would not be very effective for employee growth. With 1:1s, they are more of a formality - not adding anything new to the conversation.
tbh, I'd prefer the option of paying for support over literally no support at all, ala. Google.

If my Gmail account is compromised, I'd be pretty fucked, despite doing my best to make backup arrangements - it's still the skeleton key to the rest of my digital life and my primary point of contact for everyone who interacts with me.

I'd happily pay some small fee to have an actual human help me resolve the issue. But right now, that's not even an option.
That's not true about self driving research plateauing. Tesla, Waymo and Cruise have all made significant progress in the last five years.

What other categories of high tech reached their absolute peak right when everyone started to notice them? We can extrapolate because there are clear trends. And a long history of inventing new things when we hit a bottleneck.

It's like someone looking at a car in the early 1900s and saying "this may be the peak of automotive technology, who knows".
