18 states issue drivers licenses to non-residents.

This rule was to shield the identities of those people from the federal government, so that those states would participate.

You may not like that but being in the United States without permission is not a crime, it is a civil offense like operating a radio station without a license or pirating a DVD, and it is up to the states to decide if they want to help the federal government with non-criminal civil cases.

I am an election judge in a state that issues drivers licenses to non-residents, primarily people in the years-long process of applying for asylum (which, by definition, makes them neither illegal nor undocumented) and I can assure you that processes are in place to keep them off the poll books.

There are more instances of republican candidates' wives voting multiple times for their husbands than there are cases of non-residents voting.

edit: the explicit reason it is not a crime to be in the country without permission is because if it WAS a crime then people accused of being in the country without permission would be granted due process, be subject to stricter rules of evidence, and have the right to access to representation, which they are not if it is a civil offense.

The government does not want due process, stricter rules of evidence, or the right to representation for people it says are in the country without permission, which is why thousands of US citizens have been deported by mistake. (but people don't seem to care because those US citizens' names end in vowels and they are deported to countries where color graders throw a yellow filter on the footage whenever a film is set there)
well.. if you can tell its a human being..
What happens to the quality of primary sources of information used by LLMS in this new age? Eg less traffic to Wikipedia, Stackoverflow can't be a good thing.

Thanks! Most comments here assume they expect everything from me. I don’t think so.
I'm sure that network X would not be offering free roaming on network Y without an agreement in place between carriers that made it free (or, at least, very cheap) to do so.
So, an email address? Unless that is the point you are making of course (as I type this I realise how slow I might be being!).

Alternately if they want to stick to the domain structure: user.domain.tld (I've not checked to see if that is already supported).

The problem with both of those though is that you are then less in control of your identity – the domain owner has the power to stuff you over if you are just a user of it. Because of this issue for you as the user, it means that the identity is not as trustworthy to the service because the domain owner can take control of it themselves or reassign it.
I believe one of the big point missed is that community contribution totally disapeared of the public internet.
In the past you were able to find anything you want by just typing anything in google, on all the forums & microblogs.
That content disapeared from internet, replaced by discord & instagram, which are not public.
Reddit is the main community remaining public, this is why people are typing "pizza reddit" while the main contributions are not on the reddit community but on the the discord from the pizza reddit.

So now, when you want to go deep into the topic pizza, you have to:
--> go to the pizza reddit
--> get the discord adress
--> connect to the redditPizza discord
--> search "mozzarella" on the shitty discord search
They want 71£ for 4oz of lions mane powder. Am I missing something? That seems exorbitant.

Somehow the phrase that struck me as most absurd from the whole article was:

> Some employees expressed worry about whether they’d receive their bonuses, which are set to be distributed this month, if they lose their jobs beforehand

I would have thought, if you get a bonus, you are a valued employee and safe from layoffs? So getting a bonus despite being fired should be out of the question?

It's easy with the benefit of hindsight to say a bold investment that didn't pan out was a crazy move.

In this case, it was also easy to say it was a dumb idea contemporaneously.
A rubric should be specified outside of the context of a specific question if it applies all questions.
> This is how you avoid companies having the "hmmm they seem to be having lots of issues recently, let's consider moving off them" conversation.

Yeah, this is how you get companies to have the "well, it SEEMED they were having lots of issues, now it's clear that they indeed did, moving off of them is priority #1".
It's a bit of karmic justice for the Untitled Goose Game developers though, since they took Epic's money to make it an Epic games store exclusive.

The cleaning is done by pushing soapy water against your dishes with high momentum. If the water is already hot then reheating it doesn't use much energy so it's pushing the same water through again and again. The pump is not using much energy.
Lucky you, you've never used it. Slow, difficult to use, packed full of features you'd rather never have heard of that are utterly useless to getting useful things done that also persistently get in your way, slow you down, make the user interface even more difficult and are the pointy end of management idiotic policy wasting your time in the name of efficiency or whatever the hell idiot managers think they're doing with that garbage. (Not every manager is an idiot but all of them are convinced it's not them and they way they do it is just fine, "So we're updating the workflow...") Jira used to have lots of distracting "opportunities to upgrade" to additional parallel product. Do they still? Flashing notifications that when you clicked them interrupting what you were doing because it's got urgent vibes all over it, it was "you should buy this other thing!" Repeatedly. Yes and I hated myself every time while I trained myself in the knowledge that "Jira important notification means ignore" Great lesson for your team w.r.t. a bug tracker, huh?

Pick 100 things you wanted improved about it, limit yourself to just your top 100, Atlassian did absolutely none of those and yet made them all worse. Every year. And I'm sure it makes good business sense. They know who is signing their cheques, that is who they care about. And I'm also sure they're very relaxed about how developers loathe them, discount me totally and look at the rest of the comments or any time it comes up. That's their right. They can laugh at us all the way to the bank. If you had more money than your great-grand children could spend in lifetime of Brewster splurges why would you care that your users hate you? You've got far more important toys to play with.
Also Guayusa tea. Tastes great, no bittnerness, and a nice amount of caffeine.
Or heard it as a criticism -- the underlying implication that one is struggling.
Propaganda is strong. Extremist views like OP here is exactly why I think it's so dangerous to have unchecked anti-China propaganda in the mass media.
Whenever I see content organized as chat messages I know that it will fade away. It just moves too fast and in too small chunks to be searched, to be interpreted by humans years after it was created. Add a walled garden, it's dead content. It happened to IRC, it happens to Skype logs, WhatsApp, Telegram, whatever. It's convenient but I know that all my chat-like messages will be lost or at least not as easy to access as my email. Same thing for services like Discord vs web sites or forums. It will take ten years for people to realize it, enough time for them to move to something else, come back and failing to find what they were looking for. Then the next generation of content creators will be on another unarchiveable/unsearcheable medium.
The USA census does explicitly include race, as do many systems summarizing data on people such as university student applications for DEI purposes, etc. Other countries such as UK seem to focus on ethnicity instead, but at least in USA explicit recording and processing of race is quite common.
This seems very useful to me, but is the kind of thing I'd write in an afternoon and release it as OSS.

Still, most people won't want to self-host it, so the business model might work, good luck!
The comment is rightfully flagged now but there was nothing correct about it. It was a clear call to violence, not a warning. That’s unacceptable.

Your interpretation is a distortion of history. Nations go to war for land, not the populace of functional societies. The danger in this rhetoric is that it assumes our system of government has failed, which it hasn’t. The only threat is exactly this type of apathy.
I hope there are provisions in the EU law for not following the spirit of it? It seems incredulous that Apple will allow you to hook up any of their iPads and MacBooks with any sort of USB-C cable, but are seemingly going to limit iPhones to MFi certified ones. A MacBook will charge at 100W while an iPhone is what, 35W on some of them, 20W on the others? Also, limiting transfer speeds is just ridiculous as well. If a janky cable is going to be dangerous, it's going to be on the charging side of things, not from transferring data at USB-3 speeds.
If most of your stack is written in Python you could also consider setting up a custom log handler (with additional filters or formatters) such as https://pypi.org/project/slacker-log-handler/

The Python logging framework is quite flexible
You can argue that you read the questions first too, so you should give yourself the answer to querstion 1 as correct as well and have 99/100 overall
Not supporting USB PD will run afoul of the EU standard. I wonder what the bureaucracy will think of it.
Everyone gets a bonus. It's part of your comp. But usually there is a multiplier based on perf.
I’m sure you’ve tried it all, but as someone who also dislikes odours in glasses that have been through the dishwasher we’re pretty attentive to only ever putting glasses in their own cycle, and minimising cleaning dishes with eggs in the washer (hand cleaning or at least washing off).

Agree with you on the challenges of finding issue-free appliances (feel the same on vacuums, stick blenders, and probably a half dozen other examples).
Is a free market free of regulation?
It does strike me that to really dry dishes you basically need to incorporate a dehumidifier into the system.

Which actually surprises me that no one's done it, because small dehumidifiers are quite cheap, and if it would be a hell of a premium feature.

I've never had any problems with weird odors though.
It is sad how much of the knowledge was destroyed due to ideology and religious fanaticism. I have a book here next to me with the title "Vedic Mathematics". The book is based of ancient Indian text. Reading the preface of the book it is clear that what is written in the book is just a small portion of a very large volume of work that was lost. It is sad that so much advance knowledge was lost.
Reduce JDBC and Proxy difference, switch to ShardingSphere cluster architecture
That is exactly the problem at hand.

It's a combination of low to no enforcement, competitivity-killing laws and unrealistic efforts for said companies to take on.
Dishwashers in commercial kitchens are rapid, much less than 10 mins. I have always wondered why, exactly, we can't have that at home. A dishwasher so fast that it's done while you're still clearing up from dinner and you can put stuff away immediately would be fantastic and is clearly absolutely possible.
The Failure of Nationalism and Populism

Alternative visions, such as nationalism and populism, fail to recognize our common humanity and cannot bring long-term security or prosperity to a nation. These ideologies promote the idea that a country's interests are best served by looking inward and closing itself off from the rest of the world. They see other nations as competitors, rather than partners. This approach may provide short-term gains, but it ultimately leads to isolation, conflict, and a decline in living standards.

Absolutely. Nationalism and populism went into overdrive during Trump's years.

From what I understand, he would like to be remembered similarly to Steve Jobs, as an inventor of the future. I think this was his way of doing that.
Truth be told I found #1 very easy, #2 and #3 seem straightforward enough, but since I've made it a goal to see friends more it's been a herculean task.

I find myself being one of very few people actually taking the initiative to propose in person hangouts and to make them happen usually involves doing everything in my power to make them as low effort/cost as possible for others.

And honestly I'm grateful for the people who actually agree to do things, they're hard to find!
Everyone who takes a mortgage to buy a property is a leveraged buyer. That’s literally every first-time buyer that I’ve ever known.
I wonder what he thinks people think about him when they read this real life satire? There is an employee who doesn't know if he got fired or not and the CEO of his company now publicly wants him to explain what kind of work he was doing. Nobody even knows why: Will Elon decide whether this guy will be fired for real or get back his work pc access depending on his answers? Why is there no company internal way for Elon to figure out what someone does? Why does Elon engage publicly?

This is stunningly bizarre and such a bad look, the definition of a "shitshow".

When I read this phrase, the spaceship from Wall-E comes to mind. But in reality, it would probably look a little bit more dystopian than what Pixar imagined...
Your dad should have achieved financial stability in that age. You are too young to have significant amount of money. It's not your obligation.
Are you really, honestly suggesting that mail and news supporting the `In-Reply-To :` header and some people choosing to use clients that leverage it to order messages is an almost unbearable burden for community formation?

How is using `In-Reply-To:` to aggregate and order related messages any different than having individual threads in a forum? In a modeling sense they’re effectively identical, one represented by a linked list and the other by a vector.

If anything is adding hierarchy, it’s forums, because people tend to create boards and sub-boards and sub-sub-boards etc. and even there individual threads will develop their own cultures with a critical combination of user mass and time.

I just want the option to interact with fora in a way other than the web, I don’t want to take the ability to interact with them via the web away from you (regardless of my own opinion of it).
I wonder if people still envy FAANG employees.
Interesting that "EEUU" from my knowledge mostly refers to the US (Estados Unidos) in a Spanish context. The abbreviation for European Union would be UE (Unión Europea) right.

It depends on organization, but in-house recruiters do not always have to interview people for specific positions. Employer branding, acquiring leads through meetups and conferences can also be part of the job.
You mean lost, as in they got misplaced, right? I used to transfer files a lot with usb sticks and had one fail only once.
> Mark wants to go all in AI instead of Metaverse

I see no evidence of that. The recent announcements are at best a re-org, or worse a cleanup of three+ reorgs where FAIR and others were subsumed into RL-R.

It is clear that The Meta leadership doesn't really understand what they are doing. The first cut I suggest was designed to send a message to investors that meta is "serious" about something. I assume that this second cut is because not enough people left of their own accord.

However none of this is actually a change in strategy. Where are the product changes? where is the announcement of key priorities for the different Apps? are they going to start putting users first? or just add more shit into each app until something sticks?

The key problem Meta has is that they only have one effective leader: zuck. Everyone else appears to be underwhelming.

Boz: arrogance personified. None of the misteps in the last 4 years are ever his fault. It was market forces that meant that raybans failed, rather than releasing them before they were finished. the quest pro didn't sell, not boz's fault. The market wasnt ready for a capable device with absolutely no software support for the new features. Want to join your friend in a VR game? sure! just perform 15 clicks and wait 7 minutes. No not those clicks, no you need to press the hidden sub menu silly! Oh, no, remember you need to have an OS update first. 10 minute update tax!

Mosseri: Pivoting Instagram to video, because tiktok. just push push push. Oh wait our cash cow users are pissed off, ok, roll back. "there was no way to forsee this problem" despite everyone telling them it was a horrid user experience.

Blue app: Lets just push random shit into your stream, don't worry we'll roll out the user controls next half. Don't like the content? tough my metric is to get more shit in your feed, if you don't like it, its not my job to fix it, thats someone elses.

a lot of people trying to get a language model to do maths and coding. obviously this is not actually within its capabilities to properly reason about...

You can ask it non-trivial things about maths (from a beginner at maths perspective....) and it will just fabricate nonsense..

like 'find the missing number' for: 5,10,?,50,122

It said this:

starting with 5, add 5 to get 10
starting with 10, add 10 to get 'x'
starting with 'x' add 40 to get 50
starting with 50, add 72 to get 122

then it goes on to say 'using this pattern we can find the value of x by subtracting 10 from the third term.

x = 10 + (50-10)/2
x = 10 + 20
x = 30

Amazing, complete and utter nonsense. The real answer of course is a bit difficult here for normal people like me..

But any person can clearly see that even given its own logic, it still violates its own logic...

x + 40 would be 50 in its initial logic.
30 + 40 is clearly not 50... - if it understood _anything_ about numbers and values, it would never have said such a thing.

This also clearly shows it refuses to give you an 'i dont know', and would rather spout out complete and utter nonsense than a real answer....
Imagine if it leaks? Or anything else goes wrong?

I've never heard of a dishwasher so loud it couldn't be run any time.
Hacker News is a misnomer.

Mainly it's people bitching about Apple, hawking their doomed startup, or pretending to know Rust but all of that is too much for a snappy website name.

edit: Also, sometimes people will wax poetic about a shitty project some dude did on a Thinkpad running i3.
I think Alexa embodies the management culture of Amazon, the same management culture that destroyed Whole Foods. It's a case study about destroying a good thing with the goal of short term profit gains.
You have no proof the brand was destroyed by managerial greed. You also never said managerial greed, you said capitalist greed.. big difference.

You mention capitalisms failures and destruction of ideas while public funding saved the day. Pointing out that a single government grant does not make a game industry or save ideas destroyed by capitalism is not projecting ideology.
I'm guessing you grew up with Leninism, not Marxism
The first 8 tweets of my feed are posts like "Here are 10 ways ChatGPT can help your productivity" or "My startup made $50m in first year. Here's how we did it".

I know these posts are popular and have high Likes/Retweets but Twitter's algorithm is just showing me these types of posts and Elon's tweets.

1. Cover your code with tests right from the beginning

2. Realistically simulate what’s happening to the system in the production environment

3. Automate as much as you can

4. Make sure you are simulating a sufficiently long time period

5. Isolate your tests

6. Don’t focus much on microbenchmarks

7. Don’t get caught in the hyper-optimization trap
Monkeys are used in research but they can be hard to work with. I've heard stories of flinging poop and them pulling implanted electrodes out of their brain
Have you traveled? Mobile vendors at airports and also regular mobile carrier stores will happily sell you an eSIM, not a problem. Scan the QR code and it’s done.
> In a way though, the media companies eventually got their way. Many of the revocation mechanisms exist in e.g. HDCP, and higher qualities on streaming services, even ones that were primarily not producers themselves like early netflix, were requiring TPMs and other user-limiting mechanisms.

Yeah, but in practice I can buy HDCP strippers from Amazon for like 20€ - officially they're sold as "splitters" with side effects. Copy protection of BluRay disks doesn't matter either thanks to AnyDVD HD. And in case of doubt one of the large streaming providers will have whatever you want in a flatrate package.

They may have gotten their way, but they also completely lost as all the security theatre has gotten pointless - literal kids can bypass every modern "protection" there is with COTS hard- and software.
Also, "not being able to skip credits" seems like a really weird rule to have? Only sane interpretation I have is "not being able to exit game while credits are rolling."
It takes a certain kind of cold detatchment to hire 5,000-10,000 people to r&d and build the foundation of your next big thing - drain every ounce of life out of them then discard them on the heap a couple of years later.

The only AI I'm terrified of is AI overhyped by people and then used for something it's way too stupid for. AI existential risk to me is fundamentally a nerd revenge fantasy.

AI fears come out of a modern enlightenment tradition that elevates disembodied minds to some kind of godlike status. It falsely equates reason and intellect with power. In reality that's never really the case, or all the rationalist, 200 IQ people would run the world and stop all the AI risks. In reality all they do is write blog posts for each other, despite the fact that many of them are probably two standard deviations smarter than all the politicians. Closely related is that XKCD crypto meme with the crowbar that everyone knows.

Any virtual AI is going to be physically subject to humans. So unless you voluntarily build the AI a gigantic killer robot, Fallout style, how smart it is won't matter. The idea that being smart isn't all that it's made out to be just never crosses the minds of AI risk people.
I think the author loves a good carriage return more then he loves a good story.
It'd be better to name them "Task 1" etc, instead of "Question 1" etc. Especially considering they are not really questions but tasks (i.e. "read all questions.", "do question 1 and 2", "draw <whatever>", etc).
