If you have your name all over the place, I guess that it bound to happen eventually. Curl is used by millions of people which makes Daniel Stenberg kind of a celebrity. With so many users, there have to be some crazies like the "I will slaughter you" guy.

It must be a common occurrence among famous software people, I wonder how they deal with that. Do they actively hide their real identity, for example by using a proxy for licensing, do they just ignore such madness, is it a burden or on the opposite, they enjoy their fame?

Circle and Tether can freeze their stablecoins for AML/KYC and to stop criminal exploits on chain, and have done this many times in the past. Also to change to regular fiat you will be doing that via a regulated entity which will have done the appropriate AML/KYC checks on you.
It's really a shame. I have a bunch of fully-functional phones and tablets laying around that work fine, even with strong batteries, but became forcibly obsolete due to Apple (and others) 1. dropping software support and 2. deliberately sabotaging the devices against being repurposed with alternative software. This never happens with computers. I have a computer from the early 2000s still happily plugging away running useful things on Linux. It is a disgrace what consumers have allowed phone manufacturers to get away with support-wise.
fyi, they recently implemented wifi calling on iphone, maybe late last year? And IIRC I’ve been using hotspot on Fi for at least a year?

Where are you picking up the eSIM?
> edit (addition): What % of people can hold 25,000 words worth of information in their heads, while effectively reasoning with and manipulating it? I'm guessing maybe 10% at most, probably fewer. And they're probably the best in their fields. Now a computer has that ability. And anyone that has $20 for the OpenAI api can access it. This could get wild.

It's true that most humans cannot do this, but loading words and contexts into your working memory is not the same as intelligence. LLMs excel at this kind of task, but an expert in a field such as medicine, isn't loading an entire medical report into their working memory and then making decisions or creating new ideas using that information. There are other unsolved aspects to our intelligence that are not captured by LLMs, that are still required to be an expert in some field, like medicine.

Still an incredible leap forward in AI technology, but I disagree with the implication that the best experts in a field are simply loading words from some text and reasoning with and manipulating it.
Why hire them in the first place? Only time I hear about those teams is when they get fired.

You can vendor images. Never have your product depend on something that is in the internet. Spin up Harbour locally and put it in the middle to cache at the very least.
I'd call this a minor convenience at best. Symlinks would still make it possible, of course.

1. It currently only compiles a subset of Python, which is presumably why they said it was based on Python rather than Python.

Did the banks buy insurance? No. The banks could have bought insurance against rising interest rates, but they didn't. Your analogy should actually be: if you don't have earthquake insurance and then an earthquake destroys your house, should you be entitled to the replacement cost of your house from the government?

That's the question.. will the browser become irrelevant and be functionally replaced with AI powered specialized OS apps?

This movement is likely to be a huge boon for Apple as they can finally have their walled garden powered by AI. Apple can now worry less about the Internet encroaching it's users and app developers.
Honestly, this kind of statement makes me more likely to consider them. I was on post-paid T-Mobile many years ago, but I left because it was entirely unusable outside of cities. Signal would cut out entirely 4-5 times on a 2 hour drive. If my destination was anywhere with more than about 500 feet between houses, I was probably impossible to contact until I left. This just tells me that the situation might have improved.

I'm pretty happy with my current mobile provider (a Verizon low-priority MVNO), but if that changed I might seriously think about something that runs on T-Mobile.
Yes vendor them all too.
> Why should it be allowed?

Because free expression matters.

You don't have a "right" to not be offended.

Adults are able to participate in conversations that make them uncomfortable.

Children require protection from certain forms of speech until they've developed the maturity to be able to handle it.

Censorship of the type that you're advocating is infantile. We don't need to keep adults safe from speech.

And yes, btw, I also find the phrase "tech bros" offensive.

It's difficult to have a meaningful conversation without risking offense.

So should we all just discuss weather and sports? Or only allow speech around us that agrees with our current beliefs?
...you don't know anything about what I am against.

It's about politics, not censorship - politics is about rewarding friends and punishing enemies.

I guess it's not surprising that ChatGPT would be immediately politicised - there's really nothing that liberals are not willing to do to spite the deplorables.

It's just the way I was brought up. I'm still always tempting to believe in the myth of neutral institutions. Even though this clearly no longer exists anywhere any more (- if it ever even did in the first place), it's still surprising to see these games being played out each time.
That's probably on purpose.
Build things. Build BIG things!

Most programmers never have to build anything big or complicated. After you've done it a few times, and having to refactor parts of your code because you designed it poorly, then you start figuring out how to avoid those mistakes in the future. That is the definition of "getting better".

You will also learn things that you didn't know you didn't know. For example, I'm working on a programming language as a library that is publicly available as an open source project. On Monday, I realized that I needed to figure out a better (stable) way to compile it as a shared library and then write an install script to install it globally so that other projects could compile/execute against it on their system. It took ~5 hours to figure out and document, but I learned A LOT about how shared libraries work in Linux (and the fact that the loader vs. the compiler linker search for libraries differently, etc.). Most importantly, I enjoyed it!
Yes i’ve worked for those too. Definitely comparable wlb to FAAANG on average. I have no doubt there are more chill companies but in my experience smaller companies tend to push as much or more because owners see the employees coming out of their bottom line and profits are tighter.
Cloudflare Fraud Detection
Zelle is one of those services that sounds good in theory but when you actually try using it you realize that the real life use-cases are very near nil.

"You can send money directly! *"

* If you have a pre-established out-of-band trust relationship and dispute resolution system with the person you're sending it to.

Which basically means you can send money to friends and family and that's about it. But you can also do that with Venmo or CashApp. Any online transaction among strangers that uses Zelle is 100% a scam. Full stop. There's a reason that groups that sell things plaster in giant bold letters to use PayPal G&S.

By far the biggest value-adds of Zelle existing is making it really obvious who the scammers are.

> I studied AI ethics (a recent grad course) and it was all about manipulating data to get the desired outcome.

There is so much more than this tbh. You either had a bad course, or I just don't know.

Off the top of my head:

-- fundamental law of information recovery and its implications with differential privacy

-- the tradeoff between individual and group fairness and the "Impossibility of fairness" (not going to cite the paper but easily searchable)

-- Counterfactual fairness

-- the papers and ideas used by AI Fairness 360

There are many methods that are in the box and are relatively agnostic the data preprocessing. Thinking of the many prototype methods.

Exactly, and that is how I have used it for 10+ years.

I could, but then I have trust an additional party (PayPal or CashApp) with access to my money and accounts. This is another risk with no gain.

I suspect that "responsible and trustworthy" is newspeak for "will lie to you."
This is true, but there can be a lot of slight of hand when talking about dollars and future dollars.

Banks run on nominal dollars, and SVB would have remained capitalized if withdrawals hadn't overwhelmed their ability to get ready cash, which caused them to sell at a loss, which spooked everyone, causing a run.
How to craft an employee engagement survey that works
docker-compose seems necessary only because you have your "official postgres dockerfile" and your self-built "web app dockerfile" (and maybe other things like an ElasticSearch dockerfile)

Docker files seem necessary only because... well put it this way, think of a Docker image as "the cached result of a build that just so happened to succeed even though it was entirely likely not to, because Docker builds are NOT deterministic."

Now enter Nix, where builds are more or less guaranteed to work deterministically. You don't need to cache them into an "image" (well, the artifacts do get cached locally and online at places like https://www.cachix.org/), and the only reason they can do that is because they too are deterministically guaranteed to succeed, more or less), which means you can just include any and all services you need. (Unless they need to run as separate machines/VM's... in which case I suppose you just manage 2 nix files, but yes, "composing" in that case is not really fleshed out as a thing in Nix, to my knowledge)
I think if you account for inflation, devs are basically one of the only roles that have been treading water to keep a middle class lifestyle while everything else has dropped through the floor. I do think it's debatable that even developer pay gives you a middle class lifestyle if you can't afford housing.

I do agree that the entire system is broken and devs are mostly working on things that add negative value to humanity but effectively hoover up capital from the masses and deposit it in the accounts of the wealthy.
Sports teams' value is based on the brand. In terms of operations, they actually lose money for the most part, or it's not that profitable. I saw an interview with the Bucks owner Marc Lasry, who recently is selling his stake in the Bucks. The average NBA brand like the Bucks is worth around $3B right now. He bought his stake in 2011 for 150-300M.

AT&T offered me $1000 for a 2 year old phone. It only cost me about $200-$300 for my new phone with a much better camera sensor. I could care less about other features including speed but now that I have young kids my camera is important.

The screen refresh and always on Lock Screen are added bonuses.

PwC Introduces AI Chatbot for 4,000 Lawyers to Speed Up Work
"Vendoring" is a term of art that is used to describe incorporating third party dependencies into your (source code) repository. While not a perfect fit it seems close enough - closer than escrowing where typically a third party that has no immediate use for the artifict is the one holding it.
South Korea is an ally, its almost just as good for them to make semiconductors as us. Anywhere but China, really.

Mozilla did release DeepSpeech[0] and Firefox Translation[1] (the latter of which they included in Firefox, to offer client-side webpage translations.)

They definitely have fewer resources than OpenAI, and they do not produce SOTA research (their publications have plummeted to 1/year anyway[2]). So the only way for them to make progress is to seek government grants or make challenges like these.

This challenge is unlikely to be profitable for the winning team: the expected value of winnings are likely around $1K when taking into account the probability that another team gets a better rank, but ML research projects are often more expensive (recently, Alpaca spent upwards of $600 on computation alone; and of course pretraining large models is much more expensive). So the main gain will be publicity.

Not sure what is more worrying - that people lost $10.3B or that this money is now in the hands of criminals who can do some bad things with it.

It's like when crypto is stolen. It's harder to process ill-gained proceeds than legally obtained proceeds. This means it takes time to launder it; you cannot just buy cars or whether with it; the govt. and police may be looking for it. So this means it likely has a deflationary effect in the short term by taking money out of the US economy that could otherwise be spent, but in the longer-term may have national security implications if the money goes to fund drugs, terrorism, whatever.
I'd much rather type out the instructions than stage and edit video of myself doing it.

First off, awesome to hear that there are new grad courses on this topic. Sounds like the course focused more on pre-processing techniques, which can be helpful but agree with your point. Just to note, there are also training-time modeling techniques that can help with model bias depending on the application (TensorFlow Model Remediation for example).

(Disclaimer I helped to build TensorFlow Model Remediation)

Counting "opening" as time to interacting:

- Opening Google Calendar on my personal phone with my personal calendar took about 6s to interactivity

- Opening Google Calendar on my MacBook (2017, dual core) took about 5s

- Opening Google Calendar on my MacBook with an "Empty Cache and Hard Reload" took about 10s

I'm not sure what your expectations are but it looks to me like web was faster than native for this use case, and even in the worst case under a factor of 2 slower.

Pray tell, how long does your phone take to open your calendar?

Check if your phone supports band 71. If it doesn't your T-Mobile coverage will be way worse. Band 71 is the real reason T-Mobile coverage is good or great everywhere.
I think there's a real misunderstanding here with the distinction between banks, depositors, and what protections apply to each. The scenario (betting on red) is illegal, but assuming it was not, it doesn't matter to the bank whether or not its depositors have their deposits protected.

I can kind of assume what your misunderstanding is, but it's not completely clear. I think you are assuming that if the deposits are protected, the bank gets to keep the deposits and continue running. This isn't how it works, though. As soon as the bank becomes insolvent (loses its bet on red), the bank is shut down and its shareholders are wiped out. The FDIC sets up a new, government run bank to hold and guarantee the deposits, and then tries to find another bank to sell the failed bank's deposits and loans. Right now there is no Silicon Valley Bank. If you had deposits there, they are now held by Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A, which is a new bank operated by the FDIC.
People often act like victims of scams need to be smarter, however widespread scamming places an immense burden on the broader economy. It increases the cost of doing business, since you have to do more verification for any transaction. We don't blame victims of other crimes, scamming shouldn't be an exception.

Imagine if you went to a restaurant, and the staff refused to serve you until you showed them your bank account balance to prove you could pay. It is an immense failure of law enforcement to not crack down harder on widespread scams.
Depends on where you live. Generally, the answer is no. Gold is easy to move in pretty much any quantity. Local coin shops want gold they can move easily. In some areas that is gold in any form. In others sovereign coins are more popular than bars.
You just know that all the losing trades went from the hold-to-sell-for-a-profit book to the hold-to-maturity book.

> Cash doesn't try to rationalize all sorts of slow, obnoxious, and expensive behavior on the basis of fraud protection and then fail to protect from fraud.

Neither does Zelle.

> When was the last time you pulled out a stack of $20s and had to wait 48 hours for them to become valid?

Never, but I have also never had that problem with Zelle in probably hundreds of times using it in over a decade.

But I also have never been given counterfeit money via Zelle, which I have been given via cash.

Both mechanisms of transferring money seem to be working pretty well, and both have drawbacks/benefits.
Pretty sure it's mostly a regulatory thing.

The East India Company was pretty big and operated globally. And they didn't even have electricity. Ditto the Catholic Church.
It seems to me that the only thing more devastating for a lot of developers would be npmjs.com blowing up like this because they desperately needed funding. But they got acquired by parties in no rush to profit off them

Why didn't any of the big tech acquire Docker and their registry? They don't appear to be less interesting than npmjs considering technology or ecosystem. Did they resist being acquired and has the opportunity passed ?
dockerfile is a text file spec on how to build a docker image.

a container image (analogous to a VM snapshot) is built from a dockerfile.

but dockers hub contains the actual images (that run into MBs and GBs) not just dockerfiles.

most dockerfiles don't build an image from scratch. they start with a "FROM" keyword that references an existing pre-built image and then adds some layers of files and configuration on top.

everytime you build a containerized app, your build scripts first pull down the latest pre-built base image referenced by your app's dockerfile.

so a image registry like docker hub is core and essential for thousands of build pipelines and automation that run across thousands of companies globally.

there are some alternatives like Amazon ECR, and private registries hosted by big companies on their own.

but a lot of projects and pipelines still depend on public images of commonly used ones like Linux flavours and distros maintained by various teams.
We've just finished migrating from Hetzner's dedicated servers in Germany to their Cloud US VM's for improved latency.
