One surprising aspect of that is Taiwan's very limited compulsery military service - I think it was a month, recently lengthened to 6 months? What I read says that such service is very unpopular.

I don't understand a lot about it, but wouldn't people expecting an invasion from a much larger country want universal compulsary service and as much training as they can get? Even for those less motivated about winning, it would help them survive a war.

And what did the artist do at art school/formation years? Just learned strokes with zero references to works of art nor culture?

Besides a diffuser trained just in public domain is going to be as dangerous to their job, they seem to generalize well enough, and if their style is anywhere close to anything existing pre 1920 they will have ai spitting out the exact same thing they do and no recourse.

And to get to the point, actual creations can use these tools to increase their output then fold or more. A reduction in commission price is to be expected, as is expected for them to use the tools to produce more.

They are not outcompeted by ai, they are outcompeted by a new crop of artists bracing ai tools to work at a greater volume and thus can sustain a lower price point. More art will be produced, not less, and those in true danger are the artisans that aren't embracing the ai industrial revolution.
I thought the same, they're abysmal in terms of minimalism.
The kind of communication we’re talking about is heavily two-way and dependent on the previous signal. Each individual signal is low in content, so the biggest determinant of throughout is latency.
In an era where technology has radically changed our day-to-day lives, developers understand that the speed at which you build, create, and release new products often spells the difference between mass adoption or flop.

Given these circumstances, project teams constantly look for solutions to accelerate development and automate basic tasks to lessen costs, save budget, and focus members' energy elsewhere.

I don't think the problem is one type of management vs another type of management. But about a completely disproportional application of one type of management.

Heavy coding and no management have a place in the world. But no coding and heavy management also has a place in the world. Coding "heats up" the environment and management "cools it down". Sometimes you need heat, sometimes you need to temper the heat.

Companies start out with all coding and no management because they need to just produce. Then when they have something valuable, they must reign in the cowboy culture with management. Unfortunately, this often ends up overdone and there are very few leaders who have the guts to prune the overmanaged companies. Let's see how it turns out for the Zuck.

> China wouldn't have grown rich had it not been a pawn against USSR.

China's split from the USSR began in the early 1970s under Mao. The first seeds of economic growth didn't sprout until the late 1970s under Deng Xiaopeng. Most of China's economic growth didn't happen until after the USSR was gone.
I'm just saying that it's a pretext.
Like China would start saying the world should stop trading with the U.S until the U.S fixes the mess it did in Iraq(i.e war reparations).

Sound-wise, there are no alternative, LDAC with its quality profile at 990kbps wins by brute force. aptX is not even close in terms of quality (compared to non-BT codecs, wired connection with 128kbps opus wins by landslide against any BT codec. checked that on a decent headphones + usb/bt DAC)
P.S. maybe not just a codec, maybe BT stack ruins sound somehow
In a typical CS program in the US those topics are senior year electives, and students are expected to pick and choose the ones that interest them. There is also a very wide range of options – from common ones like databases and networking to robotics, bioinformatics, ML, web development, HCI and lots more.

So in general you cannot expect the typical college senior to know any particular one of these advanced topics. The baseline is still data structures and algorithms.

Day to day from my experience:

- When there are blockers, especially with other teams. e.g. priorities mismatch

- Task assignments, priorities

- The project management side of things

I've worked in teams where the "manager" had several teams. But in those situations each team had 1 or 2 that were leads, either officially or not. But they worked with the rest of the team and were basically managers except for the people management responsibilities (performance reviews, hiring, firing etc).

> It needs to be more like a trade school. The vast majority of jobs call for workers who can create and maintain programs that actually do things, not just theory.

Sure, but those things can be learned on the actual job. So after a few years, the CS student knows both the theory (because of uni) and the practice (because of work)... Whereas someone who only learnt the practical stuff, well, usually lacks the theoretical foundations.
All companies have politics. What you’re describing is the difference between the messy politics of having to convince others vs the easy politics of telling everyone what to do.

But dictatorships don’t have nearly as good a performance record as democracies, despite their “efficient” politics.
These are biological terms and mean things. Outcompeting means something else then predation. Maori example falls into politics and the words to be used there would be war, genocide and cannibalism.

Not quite predation either, because despite eating then, it is unlikely the whole thing was purely about food. On the other hand, spiders don't go to wars, they do not coordinate nor make plans.

They got all the know how from the US as a jump start. Plus loads of financial aid especially during the 90s.

Sure, during the 2000s they moved ahead as they weren't stupid and didn't blow that chance, they're smart and hard working, but their rise is ultimately due to the US great interest in that island for military/strategic reasons.

At those ratios, your "manager" doesn't really know what everyone does or how they are performing. Nor what their career goals are, what they're good at or not good at.

Really that's just a director level position with a manager title. I assume the teams have some person that's acting as the lead.
From the archive structure it appears MacOS only; I can't test it however.
Those don't come into play here though. The problem with mic quality with Bluetooth is that we're still using the old headset profile for bidirectional audio. That means bidirectional Bluetooth audio maxes out at a sample rate of 16kHz and bitrate of 64kbit/s, with an ancient compression codec at that.

I don't understand why nobody has fixed that. Even Apple, known to extend the Bluetooth spec to improve UX, seems to use the HSP for bidirectional audio between a Mac or iPhone and AirPods. I don't get it. Even if you kept the 64kbit/s bandwidth but switched to AAC you'd get a significant audio quality improvement since you could at least represent sound over 8kHz.
I mean, you're not wrong, but the truth is, anyone can tell a story. I hear tons from drunks at bars and homeless folks in my city.

What makes a director/story writer so exalted as to have better stories?

The best movies, IMO, are those that can tell a story while drawing the audience in. Whether through comedy, sadness, shock, etc.

This movie was just a person telling a very weird story. Taken at pure face value, and ignoring the actors' talent, it sounds more like a story a random drunk person on a bus would tell.

I understand art is completely subjective, so I'm in no place to say you're wrong. But it's kinda dismissive to tell someone who hated it to watch superhero movies. Now -those- really shouldn't be made.
On the other hand, HK now has years of imprisonment if you speak the wrong thing. Expats probably less directly affected, but freedom of speech is essential to financial success and the local economy will never recover.

I think it’s not just foreigers with unfavorable origins, in their speaking of ideology/regime/path confidence, anyone not subscribing and contributing to the greater good, foreigners or not, are not welcomed and supposed to stay and share the pie.
So their entire usecase is around the idea that people shouldn't use other's work without permission. Clearly they have some familiarity with this issue.

What possible good itentions could their possibly be here?

Were they unaware of the idea that you shouldn't wholesale copy other people's work? That seems impossible by their own admission.

Were they unaware that they were using the software? That seemes implausible.

Did they believe that rules only apply to other people and not themselves? If so that is my definition of a bad person.

Quite frankly i don't see any possible way this could be dismissed as an innocent mistake. Arguably the hypocrisy makes it much worse than your average gpl violation.

Artists and grad students are people too. Being an artist doesn't alleviate moral culpability.

Edit: however to clarify, since you said people wanted to "ruin their livlihoods". I want to be clear that i don't support anything like that. Negative consequences should fit the "crime", and ruined livlihood would be way out of porportion.

The author would make an even stronger case if they showed the results after compression. On the few examples in the home page, which I compressed with gzip -9 (zstd performs similarly):

tiger.svg.gz 29834
tiger.tvg.gz 20533
app-icon.svg.gz 613
app-icon.tvg.gz 665
comic.svg.gz 25063
comic.tvg.gz 13262
chart.svg.gz 8311
chart.tvg.gz 5369

In most cases, even after gzip compression TVG still has a substantial lead over SVG.

This is evidence that the size improvement does not come entirely from the binary format (it would be possible to devise a binary format for SVG without changing the language and semantics), but from the simplified graphic primitives as well. If it was just XML overhead, compression should mitigate most of it.

Yes. 2-10000x (or whatever, depending on how rich you are) less than they do now. If hoarding money always provides a better return than investing or borrowing it why do anything else besides spending the bare minimum?

> Bitcoin is flexible

How exactly? AFAIK it has close to zero flexibility compared to Fiat money.

I'm sorry but overall I really don't understand what are you trying to say. Supply of money in relation to economic growth matters and it matters a lot. It's not just about 'means of payments' that is the easiest part.

Well there is no way to increase the supply of bitcoin? Is there?

SQL is a trade school course? Do you think

1) We should teach relational database purely from relational algebra without an practical example.

or

2) Relational database is a trade school course too.

If 1), maybe it makes sense for in academic sense, but I personally would rather to work with an intern who doesn't know database at all than someone who knows a bit of relational algebra but not SQL.

If 2), how about operation systems? Compiler? Networking? Are these all just implementation details and not belong to a CS cirriculum?
Same here. It sounds really impressive until i try try it. Ive been trying it as help for coding a web app this week. Sometimes it's really helpful. But often it wouldn't work, I kept correcting it and telling it which errors i got. So it keeps giving me new suggestions that also didn't work, and it keeps adding code that doesn't help. So i end up with a bunch of long code from all the attempts that still doesn't work. So i have to fix it by hand anyway. Like i said, sometimes it's really good, but either I'm also bad at asking, or they have cherry-picked examples.
Programming skills that do not need critical thinking are more susceptible of being influenced indeed.

Don't forget that a lot of science requires computer programming these days.

This is the root of it: The more "genericc" your work is. The more its "out there on the internet" the more GPT can learn about it..

So, a lot of engineers that are just doign teh same old trick: Writing HTTP endpoints, parsing json. Mapping data types.. Yes that could be automated.

However, modelling a problem domain to code, and the core business logic of your code, which is where your "added value" comes from. And is mostly unique: Thats hard for GPT.

This is also why I try to convince engineering teams to optimize for maximum time spend on the core added value logic. The business logic layer. Not all the fluff around it, such as parsing, serialization, authenitcation, database connection.. These should be a constant cost C, once they setup you spend most of your time on the business logic.

When you see GPT program, its just repeating tricks to simple problem over and over again.. Its not really good yet

> Since the 2000s, India has made remarkable progress in reducing absolute poverty. Between FY2011/12 and 2015, poverty declined from 21.6 to an estimated 13.4 percent at the international poverty line (2011 PPP $1.90 per person per day), continuing the historical trend of robust reduction in poverty. Aided by robust economic growth, more than 90 million people escaped extreme poverty and improved their living standards during this period.

And, as another reply noted, China grew rich after the USSR collapsed. So your facts are wrong.

But even apart from the facts, your thesis doesn't make much sense to me. "Western powers helped Taiwan and China grow rich because politics, and this is bad because ..."?

Most business decisions, including this one, are made on incomplete data. Expecting a level of scientific rigor such that conclusions are unassailable is not realistic, as science moves slowly on high-certainty and business moves quickly on low-moderate certainty.

If you don’t like the conclusion your company has reached, it’s going to be a lot faster and more fruitful to change companies than to change their mind.

I love remote overall; I think it needs some amount of in-person to be most effective. I don’t blame companies for making decisions on imperfect [not “meaningless”] information as they try to figure out how to compete.
I think that in an ideal world the only tech debt that's okay is the debt you knowingly enter into.

Debt is a part of life as tradeoffs are made every day. But sleep-walking into it is the real risk.

Knowing you have it, or are going to incur (more) of it is half the battle.

Getting space and buy-in to pay it down, the other half.

That's interesting. I learned that historically, China has been many 'nations', with related but different languages - more like Europe than like the US. And I learned that every Chinese government has struggled to hold together these regional peoples under one central government.

The current map of China is one variation of many, many historical maps, which vary considerably. (Ask the Tibetans, in particular.) It might look like a cohesive government today, but so did the USSR - the Communists suppressed the ethnic differences, but the USSR exploded into many different countries when the Communists lost power - including Ukraine, Belarus, Modova (afaik), the Baltic states, Central Asian countries, and more.

I wonder what the truth is of China now; it's a question nobody asks.
The purpose of a type system is to ensure the correctness of programs. That's what they are, that's why they were invented, that's why they were studied. That CS involves math doesn't change the fact that it's about programming.

The whole reason we want to prove a type system sound is so we can prove certain things about the programs that use that type system.
