People are beating the horse talking about their own opinions of working from home, but this thread could be a lot more compelling if people focused on at the very least the headline. It's a story about how expectations are shifting in the wider labor market, and people here are unfortunately missing the forest for the trees.
The article goes on to say that when you mandate back to office, 70% of your staff either quits immediately or starts looking for new jobs. It's crazy just how much expectations have shifted over the past three years.
Same here. I was using zswap at one point merely for hibernation but got tired of the dice roll on whether my system would wake up, would wake up but with locked up graphics, would show me a black screen, would show me a blinking cursor or would kernel panic (on my hardware with an Intel iGPU at least). I just gave up on hibernation altogether and been happily using zram ever since.
To be fair, they were the best example of backwards compatability for decades. They broke some of that with Windows 11 spec requirements, but it's still one of the things Microsoft is quite good at.
> So they did intend to put affiliate links into suggestions, and the bug was that it was accidentally applied to autocomplete in the URL bar based on the first suggestion.

and I fail to see how is that a 'threat to privacy' or something so outrageous that people are still holding a grudge after years.

Firstly, the feature was off by default, so that those who wanted to support Brave could enable it.

Secondly, the affiliate thing was only supposed to suggest the link and not replace it. Hence, the 'bug'.

Thirdly, this was not a privacy risk in any way. The affiliate link were only suggested for a few crypto websites and nothing else.

Fourthly, the bug was fixed in day. Years ago. Affiliate thing was shut down instantly and since then, nothing of that sort has been tried by Brave.

> I think the original intention was shady enough

Then I guess Firefox providing Google search as default, without asking you is shady too? or Firefox installing a whole extension for Mr.Robot without asking its users was shady too? what about Pocket? Featuring articles from partners.

I still don't see the outrage.

How was the research privatized? Organizations like the EU spend comparative number of billions on this research
The definition of "chaotic neutral"!
You didn't answer my question. Above, you said that IQ tests cannot compare intelligence differences over time and I asked why. The fact that the average is always normalized to 100 doesn't make your statement true. Researchers can simply not normalize it to see the difference over time.
Native Google Translate may have problems here. However, when integrated into a Localization Management System (LMS) that is aware of common placeholder formats, Google Translate/DeepL are not expected to destroy the original translation text. Even if they do, consistency checks of the LMS is expected to verify that all placeholders from the source copy are present in its translation.
I almost exclusively (On the rare occasion I use paper, mostly as a prop to look professional or not mess up a low tech ambiance, or some other specific use case) use an A5 6 ring binder.

I especially like how you can print 2 pages on a US Letter, cut it in half, punch it(If you don't have a 6 hole punch, use an existing 6 hole sheet as a stencil and punch the marks), and it's close enough to A5 to work.

It's great for working events to have all my setup info in a binder that isn't a 3 ring full size, which I find unpleasantly bulky,just a bit too big for backpacks, and way excessive for the small amounts of paper notes I usually use.

I also like how they have A5 Ziploc sleeve things I can use for index cards and stuff.

It's such a great format I almost wish I enjoyed handwriting enough to do bullet journaling for all my notes, but I prefer Google Keep for most things, extended notes get tiring trying to write something before I forget it, while being distracted by trying to be legible, it's almost like some kind of rhythm game multitasking challenge!

I'd consider A6 instead but real A6 is hard to find, most of them are actually filofax personal in a weird aspect ratio I'm not sure I'd like.
That's really cool. I'm wondering though how Zig handles massive concurrency? Is there some possibility to have greenthreading?

It's the straw that broke the camel's back, people are fed up, see no future in what France/Europe is building, are more and more against globalisation/capitalism at all cost

Most jobs aren't fulfilling, job security is nowhere as good as it used to be (gig economy, "uberisation"), a lot of full time jobs are barely enough to get by, owning a house is impossible for the new generations, 30% of people over 60 aren't able to find a job. They're throwing people in meaningless lives with no bright future in sight while the top 1% is richer than ever

The project compiles LISP to C (with Haskell code-base) and relies on a C compiler to generate executables. This means you will have to get your C dependencies in-place to work with carp.

I was trying this from `nix-shell -p carp` and immediately ran into issue with this when building the hello world example from the README. (Package sdl2 was not found).

Not sure how to fix this just adding `- p SDL` to the nix-shell prompt does not help, as the invoked compiler does not know where to look.

Any recommendations here? I want to avoid using a global clang/gcc installation for various reasons. Is running this under `nix` a good idea? Should I move this into a container?

This is a very useful article if you want to understand the technical language used by the UK and US intelligence communities, which is often parroted by the media reporting on topics using sources that leak intelligence from those communities. This language has been standardized within their respective communities so that all parties involved (from the President to the lowliest analyst) should be on the same page with respect to the intelligence.

According to the article there are two measures:

- a probabilistic measurement and associated language, which speaks to the assessed likelihood of an event occurring

- a confidence measurement and associated language, which speaks to the assessed quality of the source(s) of the intelligence
In the end they're not, because if there isn't outright fraud, some other bank will just buy them. If Silicon Valley bank is in trouble, I'm sure one of the bigger ones would want to buy them. Their customer base is worth something and they'd get it for next to nothing. And for JP Morgan or Citi, a run on Silicon Valley bank hardly touches their cash reserves..

I've exaggerated a bit when saying close to ChatGPT. But my focus is getting something which already bundles the complexity, feed it data and start using it. Without running 100 seps to reach that state.
From context (and a charitable reading), it seems obvious that the advice is to identify who is working nights in order to get them some help and spread the load.
Will only drive the stock price down so that another bank will buy them up. :Not sure if that's what he's aiming for.

I have tested Protomaps in of my project and I can say this is good as tileset datasource. E.g. if you already have some map data in your app and needs basemap to display under them Protomaps is your solution.

The catch is that you have to host it yourself (which is pain if you want to update it - otherwise it's just upload and forget).
I'm working as a freelance developer in Denmark, this is my reality. I live about 30-40 minutes away from my current customer, and every time I go there I will charge the time spent. My company can also pay me a tax free "bonus" for every kilometre driven, because I use my own private car.
Marking the moment of my first Reverse Turing Test
You're right, it seems particularly bad in navigation. I lead with some general queries on the NYC system, asked it for the common stops for service lines F and A, and it also hallucinated. The wiki for the service lines have pretty complete representations here, so this data should be suitably represented in its training corpus.

Would be interested in how a multimodal LLM such as PaLM-E (trained on maps, etc) fair in these sorts of queries.

Furthermore anyone who studied branch and bound in algorithms class ought to understand that a chess engine wins games but does not understand the game and cannot explain the game. That's partly what Chomsky meant by explainability; the fact that AlphaGo/MuZero can beat humans at chess says nothing about rational intelligence any more than a conventional chess engine can beat humans says anything about its capacities. It says even less because a neural network obscures its own learned algorithm, by design.
The article is a bit critical in my opinion. The fact per the article is "a directive that all of its most important products—those with more than a billion users—must incorporate generative AI within months.".

This is very different than "we have this new product called Google+, and every business must integrate with it." The first case (generative AI) is open-ended directive, asking the products to leverage generative AI". The later (Google+) case is a closed-ended instruction (integrate a solution without a clear problem).

Analysis shows autonomous vehicles would increase reported crash rates by 11%
"Direct comparison with general public driving was impossible due to unclear crash severity thresholds in the manufacturer’s reports, but analysis showed that controlling for driver age would increase reported crash rates by 11%. These results establish the need for detailed crash data, crash definitions, and exposure and demographic data in order to accurately assess automated vehicle safety."

How come?
In parent's defense, banning kids from reading certain books is not the same as "woke" governors banning or revising classic books for _everyone_, not just kids.

If people are banning books at school because the content can be bad for kids (debatable on what "bad" means obviously) then the parents can go get the book from elsewhere and have their kids read it at home. Whatever. But changing books for everyone is stupid.
Java’s Highly Scalable Low-Latency Garbage Collector: ZGC
Yeah, and I think that is an incorrect view based on a limited perspective of elements where the user is directly interacting.

What I was talking about using the feature for is passive content. Watch any TV news broadcast, popular Twitch stream, etc. and you'll see that elements or scenes transitioning smoothly is the polish of a good production. A news ticker doesn't just appear, it has a 1 second fade in. The logo isn't always on the screen, it slides in and out periodically from the right.

Just to be clear for everyone: banks don't keep 100% deposits in a big vault, where a full-customer-withdrawal can and should be expected and permitted.

Banks even at their simplest "Main Street local level", need to keep, say, 15% or 20% of their deposited funds available, as determined centrally e.g. the Fed or the Bank of England.

The rest by design is to be lent out, that's how banks offer loans, mortgages etc.

So "we can't immediately return 40% or 60% or 80% of deposits" really isn't any kind of gotcha or big secret. No bank in the world can handle such a situation.

So: runs can and do happen, and are always a threat, and currently might be happening.

The question is: how to handle it in a grown up manner.

I would be interested in hearing more about your point.

TCL is an elegant scripting language, very LISP-y, where most data structures are lists of strings.

Go on the other hand is more like a modern mix of C and Pascal with GC and lots of convenient libraries, and which builds statically.

The performance of TCL and Go are also a world apart.
Nice list. I find the book "company of one" to be quite interesting (although somehow it's less popular in tech community):

I love the coding Java in C++ critic, when what Java designers did was adapt Objective-C semantics to the most common C++ programming patterns pre-1996, in a safer package, and GoF book used Smalltalk and C++, published about two years before Java came to be.

While, Java EE is a pivot from Objective-C framework, from the collaboration between NeXT and Sun, Distributed Objects Everywhere.

It is like people don't get history of programming languages.
I refuse to ever go back into an office again with my current job. A new job may convince me, but to be honest, I work better when I'm working from home. I'll just say that when you pay for a mortgage, and then you go somewhere for 8 or 9 hours a day, you're wasting your money. When you work from home, you're getting to experience the mortgage you're paying for and every dollar you spend matters. It changes your perspective.

With my current job, despite being moved across the country in 2014 to work in an office and then being told to stay at home indefinitely once COVID-19 hit, I had experienced 4 bosses trying to fire me once I got into an office. I had to attend unnecessary meetings in person that made no sense. I had to kiss asses and say hi to people that I really didn't want to see or know in person. It'd take a lot to convince me that I should go to an office to do a job I can perfectly do at home.

I remember when I was first moved across the country.. and I asked, "Am I safe for at least 6 months to a year?" And the boss who required the move said, "We cannot guarantee that." Not more than 3 months in and I had four different bosses scrutinizing me for everything from the way I wrote code, to the way I dressed to the way I was sitting... and it just sucked. I even had a boss that almost fired me for putting Lorem Ipsum in the content before it was sent to the client. #truestory read all about it: https://confessionsoftheprofessions.com/lorem-ipsum-almost-g...

So I'm done with that life.. hopefully indefinitely.

> From the article, even the worst of asp.net was often still outperforming Go and other major frameworks.

Hmm no:

„the expensive Go implementation ranks 22nd overall in the TechEmpower Fortunes Benchmark with an equally impressive 381k requests/sec. Not quite as fast as the Java one but still more than 2x faster than the equivalent test in ASP.NET Core.“

But as said, in the end the whole discussion probably says more about the value of this benchmark than the value of the frameworks (also considering of course that pure performance is only one factor among many)

As a general critique on 2023 society, it's remarkable how much discourse is about AI becoming like humans, while there is little talk of how creative human roles are increasingly behaving like robots.

>> your long duration assets drop alot in value so you can't easily liquidate them

That conjecture seems wrong. Sure, 2% 30-y treasuries dropped a lot in value, but you still can easily liquidate them.
There is no point in talking about these things in absolutes. Sure, animations can and often times are overdone, but done well they are extremely useful and gives you just the right context on what happens/happened. We are visual creatures who build up a mental model not based on static images, but dynamic interactions. That hover, or overscroll animation gives you essential additional information.
Curl 25 Years Online Celebration
Yeah, I 100% agree. I'm hopeful that the end game will be that people will realize that having AI write garbage to have AI then summarize it is pointless.

But for now, it's not acceptable to communicate with half sentences and bullet points, so AI is useful.

I hate to stick up for some right-wing pundit, but I think you're assuming his position to be much more extreme than it is.

Suppose there's a person who doesn't believe in feminism, and wants to go back to the "good old days" of the 1800s and before when women were second-class citizens, and didn't have many rights: they couldn't own land, they couldn't choose their profession (if they were educated, they were stuck with nursing or teaching until they got married, at which point they weren't allowed to work usually), etc. Such a regressive person might say he wants to "eradicate feminism", but that doesn't want to mean he wants to eradicate women! He just wants to remove their rights and make them subservient again.

This person saying he wants to "eradicate transgenderism" I believe means the same thing basically. He doesn't want to murder all trans people, he just wants to eliminate society recognizing transgenderism as a valid condition, eliminate any rights or protections extended to people with that status, etc. Basically, he wants to go back to how it was in the 1950s or before, when society simply didn't recognize it.

You don't need conversion therapy to eliminate transgenderism; you just have to stop recognizing it at all, and treat people based on their biological sex. I'm not actually agreeing with this, but I do believe this is his position.
Would panels be even efficient for such a project though? I think concentrated solar is better in this case, as it generates power at night, more stable during weather changes, and not subject to heating issues.
