I've visited a couple of cubicle farms in the US and spent a couple of weeks in a place in Sweden where everyone had a completely separate office. For me, workplaces are more depressing the more people are walled off from each other.

I get that some people prefer to be alone, but these days why not work remotely?
The BBC computers unfortunately had only 8 colours. With 16 colour choices, 8 of them were slow “flashing” versions of the first 8.
Huh, without thinking too much about it, I'd assumed that all of these services (except the HelloFresh-type ones; I know they're still around because they continue to saturate ~all podcasts) had gone under years ago.
In Polish em dash is supposed to be surrounded with spaces. I got that rule ingrained in my subconscious so heavily that I feel very uneasy looking at em dashes without spaces even in English. Same way if someone didn’t put a space after a full stop. So I’ve decided to go the British way and use en dash surrounded with spaces. And, after doing that, em dash really feels way too long. :)
> Okay, let me explain something to you, as a person who has been in this biz for 23 years.

Since you've brought up your experience, what exactly does "in this biz" mean exactly? What was your job title 20 years ago? 15 years ago? 10 years ago? 5 years ago? Now? If you've really
been in the industry that long, you should have noticed that the job titles also evolve. Back when all the complexity was in the server, and JS was just a baby toy language and not the
beast its evolved into today, the job titles were very different than they are now.

> What you're talking about id client-side vs. server-side which doesn't have a 1-to-1 correspondence with frontend vs. backend.

Just google "front-end" dev, or even use wikipedia [1]. The client-server architecture even pre-dates the web, but when it comes to web developement, the front end is css, html and js.
Nothing more, nothing less. If you do not agree, then go edit that wikipedia page.

> Frontend has always been about something user-facing. Backend has always been about something that is non-user-facing.

What do you mean by "user facing"? Can a user view the source code of a PHP generated page? How is PHP user facing? Can you give me an example of a web tech that is "non-user-facing"?

> Client-side dev has hijacked the term frontend to describe purely client-side development. Even though with the exception of direct DOM manipulation there are very few conceptual differences between generating UI on the client and generating the UI via PHP/RoR.

The term client-side dev is never used in the industry. Never. What we use is front-end developer. Go to any job ad website[2] and look for the term "client side dev", you wont find it. What you will find is "front-end dev". Then look through all the front-end dev job postings, and show me one, even one that lists PHP, RoR or Golang as a job requirement. Here are some front-end roles [3][4]. Notice how none of them mention PHP, Golang or RoR?
Then here are some back-end roles [5][6], notice how there is no mention of js, html or css?

Case closed. Have a nice day.

> If I walk in to Citi and say “I have ten million bucks and will need to withdraw them half a million per month” are they really not going to take my deposit?

They will take your deposit, and the banker will even get a nice fat bonus for bringing in big cash deposits (well maybe not a fat one for a meager $10m). Gp doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
Whatever bank offers the best services to meet your needs.

Then do treasury management. Put excess cash in short term treasury bonds (and their non-US equivalents). These are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing country and the markets in them are very liquid. I’m sure there is some service that will automate this for you, for a small fee.
Word vectorization + cosine distance, perhaps.

The value of the money market fund is not insured, no, but the failure of the brokerage is. That said regulations are significantly stronger now for MMFs than they were when pre-2008. I guess it depends on what you're trying to protect against exactly. [1]

You have a point. If I remember correctly this event is related to the SegWit drama. Circle was not among the biggest supporters of the upgrade.
That's exactly my point, no? This is not about a bank mis-managing itself. Removing liquidity as in the supply of money is going to kill some people. The people who fall are not also necessarily the ones who are mis-managed. Someone out there is insolvent but until an il-liquidity event happens to them, they carry on operations for now.

The Fed (meaning, the authority in broad) will continue to remove liquidity and as a consequence kill businesses. This is not an unintended result. This is, in fact, the wanted result and what they are aiming for.
We don’t know. That’s the hypothesis aspect of Scientia.

Our current working hypothesis(es) and theories have not been invalidated so far and thus, they depict the most accurate model we have.

But it’s just a model: data that we get artists to turn into pretty “space” pictures.

If the public had a real understanding of astronomy and space exploration it would neither be seen as interesting or worth funding.
Oooh, I see it now, bailouts to banks will be handed out based on ESG scores! GG
As many others have stated, you can achieve the same thing with a desktop application. If you’re on a Mac, all you have to do is right click a QR verification image, select the appropriate setting from the menu and the built in keychain will automatically set the codes up for you and auto fill when you encounter them. I’m sure there are similar desktop solutions on other platforms.

Even if you couldn’t use a desktop solution, if you really cared that much about maintaining your access to a free product, you could purchase a second hand smartphone for very little money and use it solely for code generators. If you have privacy concerns you can keep it switched off and stored in a metal protein or cocktail shaker as a cheap faraday cage. Alternatively, you could host your own git server using gittea or similar or seek a commercial competitor product with more lax security requirements.

No one is entitled to give you something for free. Asking you to use 2FA in this day and age is not a big ask. So are you asking a genuine question or are you being a contrarian for the sake of it?
I've heard spotty results about Evolve's responsiveness to customers, and while there may be a wrapper, that's not always who you talk to, and certainly not who is setting the rules you have to abide by.
Cubicles seem like the worst of both worlds to me: the noise of the open workspace, but the limited view of the private office.

I have never worked in one so I am only imagining here, but I think I would prefer either of the two other options to cubicles.

Great example of how important good copywriting is. Judging by the comments in this thread, this is a great example (in my personal opinion) on how copy can lead people to perceive a brand as untrustworthy.
It's true that we haven't got a remote exploit yet, or at least, it's not publicly known. And I agree that it can be useful, convenient even, for everyone involved. It does however give up a good amount of control, the end user's control over their own machine.

Hell is paved with good intentions. The intent is irrelevant. Every substance that we banned so far in agriculture were developed, and used with the intent of improving the crops. Yet, they turned out to be a net negative. We don't know the end game of the ME/PSP yet, but I'm not keen to participate, I'd gladly buy a CPU without it, and let other people find out.
Someone had success using GPT-3 to classify episodes of a podcast[1]. I imagine if you fed the HTML from the crawler into an LLM, it could come up with a usable classification for it.

Tangent: take certain physical education courses at MIT and you can get a 'unofficial' pirate certificate:

> An underground campus custom has become an official and increasingly famous part of MIT culture. Although student pirates have roamed campus informally for decades, in 2011 the Department of Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation (DAPER) began issuing MIT pirate certificates to students who completed specific requirements. Six students earned the inaugural certificates and, today, 354 MIT students and alumni have received certificates at a spring ritual—Pirate Induction Day.

> To his credit Sejnowski correctly picked on a weak point in the oped: Chomsky’s ChatGPT examples falling apples and gravity were anecdotal and insufficiently nuanced.

This, I fail to understand. Clearly, Chomsky started with an exposition of the concept of negativity. How can this be missed by anyone with cursory familiarity with western philosophy? The rest of the article (including the passage regarding the apple) is pretty much a series of excursions on this theme, how LLMs systematically miss negativity.
I don't see your example works. Shareholders could lose 100% of their investment, their EV is not +5%. Bank employees could get higher bonusses, but also run higher risk of 0% bonus and losing their job, not sure how you get to 5% EV or that some strategy is obviously better.

The real answer is that as our ability to test our current model or knowledge, so does the model evolve.
Saying a bunch of stupid science words is just how idiots online attempt to generate consensus to their line of argumentation because they struggle deeply with ontology.

Think about our knowledge of the Earth rotating around the sun vs. the sun rotating around the Earth, or flat Earth vs a spheroid Earth, our models increase in accuracy as their testability increases in tandem.
My experience working in a small startup, a largish tech company and a FAANG, is that management (especially at the top) follows a highly unbalanced bimodal distribution - that is, about 85-95% of management has no idea what they're doing and in many cases are actively hurting the company. But 5-15% are actually great and know what they're doing, and can carry the deadweight along. But since they're a minority, they are completely focused on getting the business to work; the deadweights are the people making the open office decisions.
That's throwing out the baby with the bathwater, going totally offline. You are in control of how much time you spend online, both mobile as well as at your desk. Just switch off automatic synchronisation on mobile devices and you're free from needless attention-grabbing noises from the things. Tell people to call you if they really need to get hold of you, now, at this moment. As long as you are the one who controls your devices instead of those devices controlling you the possibility of going online is a book. Use it when needed, no more, no less. Try to disable as many attention-grabbing features of connected devices, e.g rigourously block all forms of advertising on multiple levels - router, device and application. This is what I've been doing since... well, since 24h internet access became a thing really. It was clear from the outset that too much of a good thing can hurt.
I think that is not really true? There is the "Gedankenstrich" and one can see it in texts. Or do you mean, that it is so rare, that German language almost does not use it? I think that depends on the writer.
En space, em space, three-per-em space, four-per-em space, six-per-em space, figure space, punctuation space, thin space, hair space, ideographic space, or Ogham space?
Just a bit of context (not related to AI). Chomsky appeared on pro Russian podcasts and expressed some controversial opinions.
Indeed, if your company is in the banking business without understanding the banking business, you might have a surprise coming up. As in most other industries.
I've tried but cannot come up with another way to interpret it. Do you actually have one?
We're either talking about two different things or you are missing the forest in the trees.

The value proposition of FP doesn't come from whether you feel like you're doing FP during implementation. It can only be assessed from the perspective of the caller. The caller doesn't care about the philosophical differences of how you achieve internal mutation or the implementation thereof.

They only care about whether you are returning the same result when they give you the same arguments. That's how you satisfy a function interface.

A component that keeps track of internal state with useState and modifies it via event handlers does not satisfy a functional interface, because given the same props, it may or may not return the same docoument fragment.

One cannot pass in the same state, nor can one see the state from the return value. The signature of a component that uses useState and event handlers to modify it, _hides_ internal state from the caller. A component like that doesn't satisfy a functional interface but does in fact hide an object interface via local retention and message passing.

Vice versa, a component that bangs on an internal variable in order to derive/calculate values that it returns, can satisfy a functional interface from the caller's perspective. Similarly you can use useState and useEffect to implement a functional interface. It all comes down to whether you are giving the same answer for the same question, which is typically not what you're doing with hooks.

Note that I'm not making a value judgement about whether a component is a function or an object (via hooks). If you need an object, then write an object. But be aware of the tradeoffs of writing a function vs an object and be upfront about it to your caller.
I was a DJ in the golden age of Techno, sadly my records got stolen.
I've always believed that the analog sound was better. Also there was the art of beatmatching without timecoded digital tracks.
The downside was, obviously, really heavy records that were a logistical challenge every time, since I had no drivers license.
Also, yeah, those records can get stolen, as well as CDs, but nowadays' flac or wav files can just be copied to a new USB stick so no harm done if someone steals it.
Nowadays I have 60gb of all kinds of audio files on my phone.

It's not surprising that records outperform CDs in sales, but interesting that it has come to this.
If you are in Switzerland and you want a deposit over 100k to be safe put it in a Kantonalbank which is backed by the Kanton if it fails to meet its obligations. However there are some Kantons that don't do this so check first. One of the ones considered to be the safest is the zkb in Zürich.
Also consider, that eye movement is not always linear from left to right. But I agree, brain has to do more work and it is slightly confusing.
> Where do I sign up to play with these levels of leverage of other people's money too?

Presumably you apply for a banking license, commit a lot of capital and subject yourself to countless onerous regulations (with more to come, as usual). I'm pretty sure it's significantly less fun than you imply.
> You can't regulate away malicious intents from misaligned incentives.

This sentence sounds profound but it’s meaningless.

Of course you can regulate incentives, by definition a regulation is something that changes the incentive structure.

For example the fact that I have more money if I don’t pay my taxes is one incentive. If that was the only incentive at work there’s a good chance I wouldn’t pay anything. But there’s also an incentive that if I pay I avoid heavy fines and possible imprisonment. So I do.

I have a financial incentive to steal shit, and a regulatory incentive to not steal shit. And so on.
My issue with hard copies of albums is that I’m too lazy to change them. I would often find myself listening to whatever was in the player, and, then that was done, I would stop listening to music in order to avoid changing records.

I do miss the concept of an album, though.
You’d be surprised how widespread support for newer javascript functionality is now that all browsers are evergreen.
Just a convention. I used to snigger at the English language convention of capitalising the next sentence in a letter/email after the address - after all, you're still in the same sentence, so why capitalise it. But, it's a conventional thing, so now I do it myself.

No free lunch. Treasuries yield more than bills because they’re less liquid.
I'm exactly working on that too, and don't have the answer. The problem is we all have our way to classify things and this is never the same way. The same word also never mean the same things for each one of us.

Two aspects I'm trying currently are (that need users browsing history):

- Dont try to recommend similar website, but recommend users that like similar things as you, and you can list the website that this user likes

- Create tags with accuracy. For example you will tag a website "product management" "startup" and "b2b". You can go one step further and ask users to rate how this tag matches the website. Like 90% for "b2b" and 50% for "startup" and 20% "product management". Then you can let users search tags and their accuracy (I want "product management" at average more than 50%)

Like you I feel like something can be done with LLM but I just haven't found it yet, maybe to suggest the tags of a website from a restricted list of tags, and then to suggest tags from an explanation of what the user is searching and then search those tags
“Glad there’s a legit car company behind this, because otherwise it would sound like a weird riff on scammy NFT exchanges”

Heh. You joke, but I honestly don’t know who I’d trust less to make a car: a car company that released one car model and promptly went broke, or a merchandise company that liked the brand enough to capitalize on it but not enough to buy the rights to the brand.
The partitions are covered with fabric in considerable part to muffle noise, and the presence of the partitions themselves also helps with that. Too, cubicles have a larger footprint than open-plan desks do, so fewer people fit in a given space.

I have worked in both, and an open plan is vastly noisier and more distracting than a cubicle.

IMO the vinyl resurgence is mainly hive mind consumerism. They take up more space, they sound worse, they're more expensive, and they can be used fewer times before being degraded. The secret to the last one: many of the collectors aren't really playing them at all.

It's an irrational trend and the end result will be future generations taking huge amounts of plastic to landfill. And that may be sooner than we think: spinning LPs give off carcinogenic gas. Suffer for fashion.
TL;DR:

- Fake LinkedIn profile gets in touch with the victim, pretending to be an employer.

- Conversation moves to WhatsApp or email.

- Victim receives a Microsoft Word document with malicious macros; or

- Victim is instructed to download and run a malicious executable, "here's your assessment test as part of the interview process".

- Computer is infected.

It doesn't get any more basic than that. I'd go so far as to say that anyone falling for this is not a security researcher, sorry. (at least the technical type, maybe if you're the clueless policy type that has no technical wits).
I bought one of these cheap no name USB-C cables that shows the current charging PD wattage on a tiny built in LCD. I have been using it for months to charge my Android phone and MacBook.

I recently bought a little used Yoga Thinkpad, I’m not really a Windows guy. On plugging just the cable into a USB port with nothing on the other end Windows made its little “device plugged in” ba-da-doop sound that Windows makes.

I didn’t see anything interesting in my quick scan of device manager but that single ba-da-doop stopped me from using my favorite cable cold turkey. I should investigate it further.
