You know what would be an interesting detail to add to sites:

The ability to designate a specific background CSS "tab-saver" such that the base bkgd css is the animation you wanted, so such as this area:

https://i.imgur.com/cZuXEq2.png

The white-space on the sides will play the css saver... but you can set each background type based on site (kind of like RES on steriods)

So that the borders show this CSS... it will allow for a super fast identification of which tab/site your on (if youre anything like me and I constantly have multiple windows, with many tabs, on multiple monitors.

It would be cool to be able to tack a background to to site groups such that the edge based animations you select could be genre specific.

Favorite sites could be "starred" and any starred site can have a set bkgd.

just to make the navigating between content/thought silos can be faster because you will see the border/bkgd in a faster mental pattern recognition than reading a URL or even a color. as we can identify different motions faster than we can other pattern recogs.

You should look up Switzerland's gun laws and intentional homicide rate if you think so.

That is a far more complex issue which is far deeper than such a simple correlation.
I'm developing such an app. I'm excited to get to the network connectivity part so I can see how much I've saved by making the client smart.

I think I'm going to be able to get away with just running the server for 36 minutes a day (three minutes every hour). The client will know to sync data during those time windows. 1hr of latency is fine for a lot of things if the client is smart about what it caches.
I feel like #![forbid(unsafe_code)] deserves a mention?

Railscast was chef’s kiss. I was sad when it ended.
Nice. I've also blocked Microsoft Teams in the sense that I won't work for a company that uses it, or any of the Office suite for that matter. Always willing to "unblock" it should Microsoft have an epiphany some day and decide to invest in building good products.
Saving your own life could be argued to be the most important upside possible.
I think my impression of Xi as some kind of Machiavellian genius was shattered in his confrontation with Justin Trudeau. The idea that China or Xi are ready to try going it alone is fanciful. Western governments and rightwing media are perfectly capable of creating an anti-China narrative strong enough for nobody to be electable on a pro trade with China situation.
I've said this before: read the small print. The SAT (or similar) is no longer required to become admitted to Good School(tm). The donor class that subsidizes those without other means to attend the Good School(tm) have been explicit in their contracts: They award on test scores. Has the SAT (or similar) really become not necessary?
The fact that companies are now starting to spot intrusions into their systems and identify the data, devices and configurations being targeted is a step in the right direction. Their disclosure reports also cant give too much info away because it gives insight into their setup, in much the same way GDPR requests give out metadata which can be used to search for attack vectors into a system.

In much the same way journalists can also phish information from those visiting certain news articles.
I've recently taken an interest in CPU architecture and your wonderful article couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you.

Beginner question:
In the example of the 3-byte instruction using the immediate value:
ADD AX,1234
Is this instruction 3 bytes long because 'ADD AX' is encoded in 1 byte while the immediate value '1234' is two bytes long?
The layoffs that I have seen reported have been reported as being random. I've been involved now in 3 layoffs directly in my career, and 100% of them, the laid off individuals were laid off without regards to skill. The reporting in the media on layoffs happening elsewhere largely matches my experience.

Sure, an argument exists around "you shouldn't've hired that many people", but that is different from an argument of "the hiring process can't discern good hires". The former is a management & long-term planning issue, the latter is how interviews are conducted.
> Ban social scoring, not the AI, the tool doesn't matter.

Automated human classification without recourse nor transparency is what the EU is against. "You cannot get a loan because the AI says so" is not acceptable.

> Would it be good if it was computed by hand on paper instead of through AI?

Yes. As a judge can check what information was used and what algorithm applied to get to a conclusion. And it may declare that use of data or algorithm illegal.

> They fear the amplification factor of such tech, but the amplification factor works for the good and for the bad

Maybe just go slower. Something like an Hippocratic oath can be a good principle to follow for high impact technologies. To do some good may not justify the harm.
First, if that number could be read directly as a refutation of my hypothesis, it would be tied, rather than showing an advantage to the legacy students.

Now, a few guesses: first, to the extent that affirmative action is even partially successful in targeting disadvantaged groups, affirmative action students should be less likely to be legacy, meaning that applications of legacy students should at least reflect a numerical superiority consistent with the strength of the affirmative action bias. Second, I will say that from personal experience I valued, more highly than was deserved, the schools that my parents attended; in this way those schools were the beneficiaries of highly effective advertising, through my parents, that made me more focused on those particular schools than they deserved (so much so that two of the three were two of the four schools I intended to apply to.) The aggregate outcome of that effect across all legacy applicants should be a higher-than-usual applicant quality in the pool of legacy students.
Even Spotify is mostly owned by US investors and pays out most of the money to US music companies and recently to US podcasters.

Unfortunately, Europe strongly embraces socialism [1] and is hostile to entrepreneurs. According to a study [2]:

"Western Europe is shown to underperform in all four measures of high-impact Schumpeterian entrepreneurship relative to the U.S. Once we account for Europe’s strong performance in technological innovation, an “entrepreneurship deficit” relative to East Asia also becomes apparent. This underperformance is missed by most standard measures. Finally, we also find that China performs surprisingly well in Schumpeterian entrepreneurship, especially compared to Eastern Europe."

My intuition tells me this is the problem. I moved away from purchasing any type of grab and go food about ten years ago and I think a lot of consumers have joined me.
Google has gotten worse since it was created.. chat gpt is the first thing since that even has a hint of value.

Ornganisations with more focus on making money than social responsibility are not a net positive.

So i struggle to see any innovation from outside of europe to balance your claim.

Maybe windows, but linux was started in europe..

Shrug.
Had a ton of fun with this :) thanks!
fifteen years ago in California Bay Area, when experienced programmers showed up a the door of pre-funded companies, and especially as phones with ads became a huge revenue source, one internal Human Resources message was "do not hire anyone that does not have a job already." This conveniently included those who had their own small business or side-gig priors, as well as those that did not work well enough with teams, and those newly graduated without work experience.

As the raw number of humans with some applicable skills increase world wide, and the disconnect between pre-funded wealthy environments and others increases, new invisible "flags" likely can be applied.

Not to defend the way business is done in China, but I have heard that when they assembled teams for an important new company, they often did not do as the West has done and cast infinitely large hiring nets with infinitely more nuanced and rare characteristics, rather in China the rumor is that they just used who they could find with a reasonable search, and got on with it..

Lastly, it is ironic that the divisive, command and control environments found in long-term stable business, are actually very negative to creative and open-minded people who want to try things.. Yet these "rules" might favor those in the stable business world, bringing all the anti-communication and top-down culture from there. odd times
Give it a go and find out for all of us. :)
So, China and Russia can just point on a map and say "I want that, and I have nukes, so, you know, WWIII".

If we are going to play this game, let's have it all out now, because that's no way to live. We all agreed a long time ago that this is not what nukes are for, and if someone wants to lay new rules, they should be ready for what's coming.
> I think a major issue is that people don't want to even check how to unsubscribe and they see the “mark as spam” button as a “just make this go away” button.

You can thank unscrupulous actors for this. I get so much spam I’m not going to try to figure out what is actually spam or not, nor am I going to risk clicking “unsubscribe” links in emails I assume are malicious spam anyway. If it looks automated and I don’t know what it is or can’t remember why I’m getting it, it’s spam.

Especially marketing emails. I would never knowingly sign up to receive a marketing email so if I do receive yours it’s either spam or you tricked me into signing up for it, so it’s also spam as far as I’m concerned.

Yes, this would probably be a rational thing to do. Which means that it's very likely something they would never do.

TL;DR: "Google Translate". The article goes on to dial back the clickbaity headline ("The Surprising Reason Europe Came Together Against Putin") a bit:

"Google Translate isn’t the complete explanation for the newfound European unity, of course, but it’s an underappreciated part of the story."
Just install a plugin that does that for you, not sure why that would inconvenience anyone. The tools exists out there to make you never see such a popup again, why not use it?
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited by the discovery of semaglutide. I'm not particularly heavy (BMI of 26.5) but I would happily pay for it if it was available over the counter.

I wonder how long that will take, if ever.
Used one of these in an airport and it was fine. Felt like a novelty in that instance. I didn’t need a particular app but they did employ a person to explain and help… but it was a small enough booth he could’ve just been the cashier.

Probably 20-30 seconds faster than a normal place? I actually do like the idea in general but the implementation is ok at best and I didn’t even have to use yet-another-proprietary-app

>Keep in mind that I attended in the 70s. Nothing stays the same. I have little idea if Caltech is the same today as then, and rather doubt it.

Late 60s, Page, for me. I was lower middle class, which seemed to be the great majority. I recall only one House contemporary who was from serious wealth. Would never have known but for developing a friendship. As you say, I doubt things are similar today.
Awesome! Next time I'm looking to set up some user management stuff, I'll have to try it out. I especially appreciate the sample configurations you give for each service you are trying to integrate with.

Oh I love trash!

I love it because it’s trash.
Mostly grab and go foods like salads. It’s terrible just like the OP said.
It also comes from silly names of libraries and tools used in the example as well.
The food was good quality and very fast. It was basically a micro cafeteria for my building. I went there daily for the soda and sushi or salad until we had our catered lunches back. This is the Stewart location in Seattle... Which there isn't much food around right nowand is across the street from my office

Sounds more like a failure on the returns drop off location listing. It seems that improving the filters and visibility of what you'll need to have to drop off returns in each location is a far less drastic solution than dropping some stores because otherwise it messes the website lists.
We used to play the french version a few months back. It's a nice game!
I honestly don't understand people classifying gpt models as toys. I've been using it for my day to day so my productivity has increased tremendously. I no longer need to memorize a bunch of useless syntax or read documentation for the trendy dataviz library for plotting a graph in python, just to name one example. I confess that this undermined my desire to learn programming in a deeper way, but that's how life is at the moment, unfortunately the corporate environment requires us to execute and then think about it, it's the game I'm playing.

If it is a true pure function that has already been proven and tested to be correct, you only need to be concerned with the output. The function itself will never have side effects you need to understand nor will it ever change.

> So I'm always a little surprised how seriously people take AI safety and alignment concerns about systems we don't yet know how to build

Aside from Basilisk cultists and people play-acting concern for safety and alignment as a PR tactic to push centralized control of AI in support of their own financial self interests (groups which have more overlap than one might expect), the main (non-academic) safety and alignment concerns are more about the kind of systems we do know how to build, and which are seeing increasing deployment deployment demonstrable severe biases that have significant impacts in application and other issues.
Testing the First PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD on Linux Has Been Disappointing
I share the same concerns about quinoa as OP. My guess is that it has to be made and served fresh, and these stores have it sitting on shelves for days at a time and it tastes funny after a while.
I'm also seeing this tech in some airports in basically a linear contained store. Walk in, walk down the tunnel grab what you want, walk out. Seemed very efficient and airport appropriate
This represents a basic misunderstanding of how public companies work.

Microsoft has been subjected to multiple lawsuits and judgements and fines and consent agreements regarding its practices in this area. Microsoft has been burned by this kind of thing in the past; we probably don’t even know half of the legal rulings that Microsoft is subject to that this potentially violates.

My high prior probability would be that there are actually a bunch of lawyers in Microsoft whose job it is to ensure that they have training and processes in place precisely to prevent this sort of thing happening, not that Microsoft has a secret team trying to find ways to sneakily block other browsers.
Wish I could upvote more than once. What I call "Resume Driven Development" creates fractured architectures and reduces quality in stable systems for the sake of "the latest standard". Not the best spend for the business or users/customers.
I suppose you're right. It's more like targeting the street signs for vandalism because it's too far to walk to the house of the guy you want to attack.
Sorry, but take home test as the first step to filter them is a big no for me. Why should i waste time on a test before even meeting anyone?

1, 2 and 5 should be more than enough. You get to talk to them about their past expertise and even combine it with some design discussion, you get a pair programming session and a final casual discussion. Why do you need everything else?
I mostly agree, but there are a few notifications I really want, most particularly battery and device status notifications. If you have a mechanism for that, you might as well have a mechanism for whatever other notifications might be offered, but also an easy way to eliminate the ones you don't want.
I enjoyed the easter eggs!
I have a really hard time believing this is being actively driven by collusion among rich families who know they could game non-SAT metrics. It would require a huge organizational effort, and for what? It's still not going to be a sure thing to get their kids in, there's gonna be even more randomness in the process after this change than there is now. And sending your kids to elite an school doesn't even buy them that much anyway if you're already rich & influential, you can pull strings to get them a job after they graduate from a mediocre school.

It's much easier to believe that this is being driven by college administrators who know that the way to advance their careers in the current climate is by passing radical social justice changes, and this particular idea is simply an organically popular fad among social justice influencers so it's the one they've latched onto.
> I just think the AA narrative that it is Blacks that took that Asian kid/s seat is misplaced -- it was more likely the White kid who took their seat.

And at the schools that are very good the Asians that couldn't get into the best ones are taking those spots from others. But you've excluded those colleges from your calculus for some reason.

People generally apply to several schools and may not get accepted to all of them, majors have limited number of spots, scholarship are limited, and so on. If the College Board subtracts 100 from every White person's score they'll apply to or get accepted to lower choice colleges, and this is effectively what race-based affirmative action is doing.

When you have systemic discrimination like affirmative action the whole system is affected. It seems like you don't believe race-based affirmative action causing White kids to get accepted to their 3rd choice instead of their 2nd is fine since you're pretending it doesn't happen.
Yep, exactly. I hope and expect to see automated vertical farm systems as cheap consumer products soon enough, for one. Though I also don't think we necessarily need to reinvent the wheel with this stuff - it doesn't have to be some independent micro system (which are typically much less convenient than mass-produced systems). We can still use standard farming/water/energy-production/sanitation - we just need to reduce the bottom-line cost of those services (which I am still strongly betting AI will impact hard) and make it so creating a competing system takes much less capital to boot up, in case existing services decide they want to try and charge the same consumer prices while eating up all the efficiency gains from AI.

We don't need to settle for lower quality, or convenience. We just need to ensure capitalism does what it's supposed to, and pass on the efficiency gains down to the consumer.

Though also, for my money - water, energy, sanitation? Those are already very cheap, and will get cheaper naturally. And food is cheap if you keep to basics. Automated housing construction and automated high-quality-meal kitchens (not just basics) seem like the areas to tackle for real cost savings. Ultimately the last bastion will be rent seeking on land though - which could be alleviated by creating housing alternatives off the conventional grid, or uplifting the quality of services in much of the developing world so there are much more options of safe areas to live (which again, is happening fast already and will happen much faster with a rapid improvement from AI tooling).

My argument is this is the natural way capitalism works - or is supposed to work - and we should treat that with hearty skepticism. But the only way this doesn't happen seems to be if there are monopolistic forces actively holding it back. Otherwise there really should be an abundance of cheap options for living coming to consumers in the near future, which would effectively be close to a UBI, and a "living off the land" alternative to wage labor.

(P.S. for housing, my bets are more on modular housing production in a factory setting becoming highly automated - the quality level of those builds is already quite high. But also just automation on the materials production all the way down the stack. There's hope for in-place construction savings (robots!) but I think that'll come much later. Logistics transportation was already due for some major improvements before AI reared its head - cheap electric engines just enable some very different structures that effectively have a net-0 cost of operation when combined with solar. Any innovation on that front would dramatically reduce the cost of everything else.

Dark kitchens are already a thing, and expect them to keep growing - especially as the tools improve. You could probably supply a whole city with the same wide variety of well-cooked dishes from a single facility with efficient transport. There's an element of dystopia there as cook jobs disappear and thus the personal touch, but the consumer reality (should be) basically-free meals at the same quality we expect from restaurants, on demand.)
Harvard has an endowment worth more than $50B. Harvard grads are the ruling class of our nation, and their system of legacy admissions mean it’s essentially a hereditary system of nobility. This endowment isn’t taxed, and generates huge returns. Its one thing to defend poor kids getting a leg up with federal grants, but I’m not sure the ones who pay for it are the same ones who benefit, and the system seems to be enormously profitable for the private universities.
In 1993 I bought the bespoken Sound Blaster from 1989 on a flea market for around $60.
It was already considered old. It could only process 8bit sound, but the OPL voices chip was cream.
This Sound Blaster was also known as Sound Blaster 1.5 later, if I remember correctly.

Some months (sic!) ago I got an Sound Blaster 16 with SCSI interface at Ebay for $100.
Oh man, the OPL2 chip has such a nice and warm sound. Superb quality.
The additional SCSI interface makes this Sound Blaster perfect for retro computing.
A lot of people I've known in this space have run into the problem where making content became their job and it meant they weren't doing the "real work" that created fuel for creating the content. That is, the best content came from talking about the challenges and techniques learnt in their "day job" but now their day job was running a screencast/tutorial business.
