Many of the things you use as examples are trademarks. Beer signs involve company logos. Beer signs ARE company logos.

I'll give you a real world example. Madonna Ciccone, famous pop singer, published a coffee table book called Sex in 1992. The book, natch, is filled with explicit images and words.

One of the pictures featured Madonna, semi-nude, being sexually penetrated on top of a Williams Electronics "Taxi" pinball machine. The entire machine is visible including a very prominent Williams logo.

Williams took Madonna to court over it and she quietly settled before it got to a judge. Williams had a very strong argument that their trademarks were being used in a manner contradictory to their product - a family-friendly pinball machine. This kind of imagery is damaging to their brand. And, of course, no permission was requested by Madonna. This was a slam dunk case. You need permission to do things like this.

IP holders get all kinds of legal opinions involved when permission is requested. What exactly are you doing with that Ms Pac machine? Is it just background filler, or is a major character going to be beheaded on top of it? It's not just a matter of "can we use this?" but a question of "HOW is this going to be used?"
He also gave attack helicopters to Suharto's regime while they were committing genocide.
Not $300k. But healthy $200k in Midwest is a lot of money.
Yet people have been saying that about Teslas, and EVs in general for almost a decade now. But they are still way ahead of everyone else (in the west) in terms of sales and production, even with traditional manufacturers shifting hard towards EVs.

And I'm including myself here, I'm genuinely surprised that Tesla has managed to survive and even thrive, with insane production growth rates YoY. I genuinely believed it was a hype fueled meme (I still wouldn't touch the stock, though) that would stall the moment they attempt scaling production, but the results are pretty conclusive on that regard.
Engineering Manager vs. Product Manager: What's the Difference?
There's not much to engage with in VR even if you actually loved your experience. It's all very short titles or titles based on repetition in short stints (fitness apps for example).

I applied a couple years ago, I can confirm their hiring process is one of the best around.

“ considerably lower pay right now compared to a job at FAANG”

Almost all jobs everywhere pay considerably less than FAANG.

I find it curious that HN so casually uses FAANG pay as the benchmark.
What? Are you saying the police are abusing their powers? No, can't be true! /s

The cops doing this shit don't give a damn if it is breaking of rules or what not. They know that all the content creator is trying to do is get some footage they can put on their channel, promote, get clicks. It's not like they are trying to get footage that can then be used in a law suit. So in this case, the cops win because they know that the algos will flag the content immediately for copyright infringement and not allow the footage to be seen. That's the entire point of the cop's actions, so yet again, they win. What will be awesome is when these lazy creators start finding the music being played and subtract it from the audio feed with a some actual audio skillz so the issue won't be a problem, but that's too much effort on their behalf.

This is the truth, and apparently it’s painful for some people to hear and accept. Electricians are just as skilled and may end up being more in demand than the average tech employee because of this fact. If that’s the way it plays out, good for them.
> I recommend smaller companies...

Yep, this is the direction i wish to take next. ;-)
How do you feel about making $15-20 an hour for a few years while you level up in the union?

How do you feel about standing on ladders and pulling wires with your hands for 8 hours a day? How about when it's -10F outside? (may not matter depending on where you live).

I think it has both pros and cons over software dev. For sure the success metric is clear (thing works and passes code and inspection? it's done). Vs the fuzzy software dev requirements. But it also can be a lot more physical.
If you go the elechicken route specializing in low voltage is a great distinguishing talent; many electricians don’t like it and don’t want to understand it; even being able to diagnose a cat 6 drop with a tester can be worth.

And some localities don’t consider low voltage to be electrical at all and you need no training/licensing.

Your CBC news link is dead. Looks like it got truncated?
IIUC this is more or less how the secure screen lockers work. GNOME will switch to the Display Manager (GDM) screen and ask it to validate the user's credentials before switching back to the session screen. If GDM crashes there is nothing to see and it is restarted.
That's pretty common for government shutdowns in general. Usually they're looking to disrupt communications, but not businesses. Sometimes it's just the ease of telling a limited number of companies to shut things down; leased lines especially tend to be hard to shut down in a centralized way.

Of course, for India in Jammu and Kashmir, they historically only cut off prepaid cell service. If you had postpaid, you were fine. I think that may have changed with more recent shutoffs? Or maybe just the proportion of customers with postpaid has dropped; I'm not affiliated with India, just interested in global telecom because of work.
This can get more luck in the other thread :)

Exactly this. While I could afford an $80k vehicle, I refuse to do so. I hate owning a car and only do so because I live somewhere with absolutely no public transportation.

When these vehicles stop being only for virtue-signaling and actually made for the masses, I will definitely be getting one.
> Byeloruss might also get the internal coup they so badly need as well.

This is devoutly to be wished for.
It's true that the distinction is a bit vague, the term JIT is overloaded to enough that it stopped being a useful technical term.

Compared to 'JVM JIT' or 'LuaJIT': there is no instrumentation to detect what is hot or not. The CPU frontend will crack x86 instructions into micro-ops, while looking for some patterns to merge certain instructions or uops into larger micro-ops. The micro-coded instructions (like many of the legacy instructions) are likely just lookups.

Most of this is my speculation, mind. Modern CPU frontends are still kind of a black magic box to me, but I think they are limited by relatively simple transformations by virtue of being on the critical execution path.
I dunno. Who is to say it is "too much" dynamic equivalence? Seems to me the grand intent of the quote is preserved for the greater mass of English readers.

In my opinion, one of the most significant failures of modern education is the lack of emphasis on spaced repetition. It's really a shame that while we have lessons on a wide range of topics, including the latest social justice causes, there is one technique that can be truly life-changing, yet it's often not taught until people reach adulthood and have to discover it on their own.
At this point yes. But the goal of "automatic programming" against a formal specification has a long history. It does not seem impossible to me that, in the future, programming becomes closer to prompting + formal specification. Then the prompt can be compiled and validated against the spec.
Yeah, and it makes sense that the luxury market (which I'll define as anyone who could comfortably afford a $40k+ new car) is getting saturated. Even if the top 10% of households buys 4 EVs a piece (ha), we should be reaching saturation in the near future. Anecdotally I see several Teslas a day on the highway just getting to/from work, and I'm in suburban PA, not Silicon Valley.

For my part my family has two old Toyotas that I can't justify getting rid of until I either get an unexpected windfall or their engines/transmissions give out, and if one got totaled tomorrow our budget would be sub-30k for a replacement.

A quick search for "airbnb alternatives" shows this isn't quite true. They're just by far the major player.
Random Twitter joke" it's easier to find a data engineer than to find an electrician in the bayarea". There is some truth to this statement.
About 5 years ago there was a discussion online. Somebody was considering getting a C class driver's license - commercial/trucking. This seemed like a horrible idea because this was right in the midst of the 'in 2 years we'll have full self driving' stuff. Somehow, 5 years later we're still right in the midst of 'in 2 years we'll have full self driving.' And there are now more commercial truckers than ever, with wages higher than ever.

As for electrician: universal demand, get paid to learn, and a really interesting skill on top of it all? I mean even if it doesn't end up being somebody's final career, it just sounds like a really interesting idea.
If building the grid would take as many electricians as maintaining it we should totally incentivize people to learn the trade, they would be practically guaranteed jobs. Otherwise it would be a big bubble of people being put out of a job once the project ends
> Also are there other benefits like integrating onto the main chip or something?

Yes, but the iPhone chips may be tiled by the time this happens, so it might not be "on chip." This is probably for the best, as the RF analog stuff a modem chip has to deal with requires certain compromises.

> Or other business benefits?

Just getting away from Qualcomm is a big one, lol

Apple isnt the only company they started a feud with. Intel accused them of being anticompetitive in a remarkable rant back in 2018: https://newsroom.intel.com/news/another-attempt-stifle-compe...
I visited their website yesterday and really liked their two models. Beautiful cars, but I just can't fathom spending >CAD100k on one. And that's before tax where I live. Just so unattainable.

* can be demanding or irregular in terms of hours

* real, genuine infosec requires deeper knowledge of OS's, protocols, tools, programming & scripting, etc. Gotta be a little more experience to get that, and even more experienced to move away from it into mgmt or higher level roles. In other words, older office worker, and that means more gut.

Funny, I start every morning with full range and very rarely dip below 50% SOC by the end of the day.

I have been using the portable charger that came with my EV, sharing the 30A outlet with my dryer. The only times I've "wasted time waiting for charging" is when I'm on a road trip, and that time was spent in a nearby store doing shopping I've needed to do anyway.

My municipal electrical rate is $0.11/kWh and I've saved a small fortune compared to my old gas vehicle.
A monopoly on overnight rentals?
What is Airbnb supposed to have a monopoly on? Their own trademark?
Can you name one innovation derived from a remixed API?
The usual progression is start working as an apprentice and then as a plumber for a larger agency, then on your own, then you become the larger agency and hire assistants and other plumbers, then you “retire”. The latter part can be quite lucrative.

You are probably thinking of management or business consultants like McKinsey and the like. A lot of companies will hire a consultant as a permanent member of staff when they are working in a specialist domain note they may be called something different like solution architect or suchlike but they are acting as consultant.

I've been in several that had these types. I think the only companies that didn't were companies in industries that didn't need any specific domain experience example here are one that did:

* Oil and Gas (Flow metering)

* Network Timing and Sync testing

* Health and Care (Worked in Care and had several)

* Practice Management

Ones that didn't

* Data analysis

* Data warehousing
The season helps. Natural Grocers tends to put a lot of their food in a compost can next to their regular trash can. If you go there in late fall when the daytime temperatures are above freezing but the night-time temperatures are below freezing the flies aren't bad and you can find some fresh produce before it's been harmed by the frost. I still have a cutting growing in my kitchen from a "live basil" that we found there a few years ago.

We'd also find whole, healthy avocados and stuff there but we left those for the homeless.
There are demographics where I would not want to take the risk of renting out my property to them. In the U.S. we tend to make things about race when it ought to be about class. Yes, I’m biased against certain economic classes of people (not based on race).
For my older, smaller projects, nope.

For a few projects I'm involved in that are currently in development, I had anticipated porting because of the bugs in 3.x that we were having to work around which are now hopefully solved, though now I'm reconsidering that and it may be better to stick with 3.x just to get the game out of the door.

For new projects, it's a toss-up. Until a lot more resources (documentation, tutorials, plugins/extensions) make the shift to 4, it might be wiser to start even completely new projects in 3.x. But the improvements and fixes in 4 are enticing, so if the official Godot documentation is sufficient (admittedly, the official docs are quite well written, and usually it's more of a case of finding stuff than it not existing) and there's no need for extensions that don't exist for 4 yet, then doing with 4 might be a the more future-proof choice.

Does it? Desktop mode reports itself as X11. I don't think Gamescope supports Wayland either...
> The core X protocol provides backward compatibility

I had a bit of fun a while back trying to get an old X/11 terminal to work with a modern Linux machine and was somewhat surprised I was able to make it work. Sort of at least. Many display managers didn’t implement the proper protocols, but XDM did and I was able to get it to work at least a few times.

> whatever arbitrary goal it thinks it was given [...] abilities of a superintelligent entity

Don't these two phrases contradict each other? Why would a super-intelligent entity need to be given a goal? The old argument that we'll fill the universe with staplers pretty much assumes and requires the entity NOT to be super-intelligent. An AGI would only became one when it gets the ability to formulate its own goals, I think. Not that it helps much if that goal is somehow contrary to the existence of the human race, but if the goal is self-formulated, then there's a sliver of hope that it can be changed.

> Permanent dictatorship by whoever controls AI.

And that is honestly frightening. We know for sure that there are ways of speaking, writing, or showing things that are more persuasive than others. We've been perfecting the art of convincing others to do what we want them to do for millennia. We got quite good at it, but as with everything human, we lack rigor and consistence in that, even the best speeches are uneven in their persuasive power.

An AI trained for transforming simple prompts into a mapping of demographic to what will most likely convince that demographic to do what's prompted doesn't need to be an AGI. It doesn't even need to be much smarter than it already is. Whoever implements it first will most likely first try to convince everyone that all AI is bad (other than their own) and if they succeed, the only way to change the outcome would be a time machine or mental disorders.
