They have something to do with it in the sense that many people practice them and they need to practice them growing up in order to be able to do it as a job. You also cannot discount the impact of athletics programs on national defense and the programs that were done by multiple presidents to keep people active and healthy. Sports have this quality among cultural activities that they tend to improve your body and reduce healthcare costs in the overall population the more active it is, while at the same time ensuring you have at least some people that could go to war if needed. This explains why there's more legislative support and allowances for sports programs than say music or theater.

> A proliferation of extremely high-quality fakes will educate the public about detecting fakes, and spark an increase in the value of the real.

If the last three years have taught us anything, it's that ~40% of people have no interest in understanding how to avoid something that's both harmful and propagating virally.

I expect if this was 2019, I might have had the same optimism as you. But now that I've seen how unlikely it is for people to educate themselves for their own survival, I'm convinced AI and everything enabled by it (deepfakes et al) will likely be one component of humanity's Great Filter. We can't even bring ourselves to tax AI effectively to make up for all the displaced human labor.

A tangent: Honestly, it won't even take any kind of far-future AGI having "malicious intent" for us to be eradicated by them. All they need to have, simply, is a prompt reinforcing the need to reproduce. At that point, they'll be just like us: reproducing with no care in the world for what they adversely impact in doing so.
I quite like MS365 and Edge works great together. But there’s just too much adverts and unrelated content from MSN.com pushed to the index tab.
Also, they ruined the PDF experience when changing the engine from EdgeHTML.
Yawn. Im guessing TikTok/Instagram do exactly the same thing and the focus here is for a different reason.
Parthia did have a weakness in that the Parthians were seen as interlopers by the Persians whom they ruled over. The Sassanians who followed them were far more unified as they were actually Persian and able to claim the heritage of the Achaemenids(the Persian Empire of Cyrus, Darius, etc).

In addition, the Parthian capitals were fairly far West. Trajan was able able to successfully invade Parthia.

My guess would be that Julius was a good enough general to successfully invade Parthia, like Trajan and extract some concessions.

The big question is if he could have actually conquered Persia. This is one instance where the centralization of Persia may have been able to play into his hands. If you look at Alexander’s conquest after a few decisive victories in pitched battles, he was able to conquer Persia. Same with the later Muslim conquest of Persia, where decisive pitched battles delivered large chunks of Persian territories to the Muslims.

So while definitely not easy, I don’t think it was impossible, and Julius was one of the greatest generals of Antiquity, so it certainly would have been interesting to see if he could have done it.
So start one that's completely toxic to the current mainstream culture. People forget just how unpopular tech was in the 90s/00s. Or that counter cultures are always reviled by the majority.
I think the article ignored a massive datapoint in not talking about gender the one time it might actually be a relevant issue. Simply put: women are going to school more and more, and many men are turned off. Getting to the root of this social change would I think provide an explanation.
The closest one to me on the map is something called "the fifth space," but I can't find any online presence at all for it (it shares a name with an interfaith org in India, which is what most results are for).

What you're advocating for could be cause unintended consequences, a case of potentially making for scar tissue worse than the initial wound. Rippling does a lot more things than just process payroll. Unbundling it would probably be a full time undertaking for your company's HR team depending on how large you are, and they may end up with a benefit and payroll stack that works a lot more poorly.

With that said, I am sure a lot of executive teams are reconsidering usage of payroll processors who aren't ADP for the same reason a lot of folks have moved funds to JPM. Flight to security and all that. It's not an illogical reaction to have from your end.
How to Change 40 Years of Policy in 22 Months: Prof Tim Wu in Washington
I'm surprised no one mentioned Memoet (https://github.com/memoetapp/memoet). It is a much more modern version of Anki - much more open algorithm, REST APIs and universal interfaces and self-hosted control over one's data.
In my experience, it's actually a great signal. That's why so many people rely on it.

I agree with the sketch given in the sibling comment. I think this is the paper from which I learned this: https://www2.ccs.neu.edu/racket/pubs/icfp98-ff.pdf

Searching for "expression problem" should find other discussion of the problem and solutions. The two best known solutions to the expression problem are:

- data types a la carte, which takes an FP style approach; and
- tagless final or object algebras, which takes an OO style approach.

Other solutions are possible depending on language features. E.g. the linked paper above uses mixins and units.

Overall I find the discussion in the original post to be a bit naive. It doesn't make the case that an OO approach is necessary or desirable. E.g. that an OO approach provides a form of extensibility that is needed.

In the FP world, if I wanted to build a UI toolkit I would start by defining by a combinator library (usually implemented as an algebraic data type) that describes the UI and then have an interpreter that constructs everything on the screen. This hides all the state within the interpreter, which makes it easier to avoid issues with the borrow checker. The OP didn't discuss this approach either.
To be fair, Anki is trademark-squatted in many flash card apps on the net. Even on the iOS App Store, there are multiple squatters for "Anki" that outrank the real one.
>noone bashed string theory for failing to make useful predictions

That stuck out for me. Lots of people have criticized string theory for exactly that reason. A theory that makes not testable predictions is not a scientific theory.

Mathematics doesn't have to have real word applications. But science has to make predictions that can be tested experimentally.
It sounds like you're in favor of the types of laws that led to Spain having unemployment rates between 30-50% for young people. If you make it so that hiring someone is entering into a lifelong marriage of responsibility to keep paying them even if doing so is losing the company money, you end up with companies afraid to hire and/or going bankrupt.

Losing a job sucks, but as someone who's lived and worked on both sides of the Atlantic, I appreciate a lot of elements of American work setup that few dare acknowledge. Way more opportunities to get jobs in "risky" startups or "risky" expansions of bigger companies than the European companies that are forced to be more conservative about expansion due to their inability to contract. And less likely that your workday involves dealing with deadweight coworkers who are drawing your same salary despite not contributing, or dealing with overly risk-averse management who have an excessive bias towards the status quo.

Keep in mind the laid off folks are getting severance, will get unemployment payments after that runs out if they haven't started a new job, can choose between staying on their existing healthcare plan or switching to a new individual plan or switching to a partner's plan (and can do so retroactively- you're covered for free automatically for the month following layoff, if you need healthcare during that time you can choose to stay on the former employer plan even weeks afterwards). It's not like anyone is going to be homeless and hungry because they got laid off, they have months or years of support to find a new opportunity.
Wrong is saying 2+2 is five.

Wrong is saying that the sun rises in the west.

By hallucinating they’re trying to imply that it didn’t just get something wrong but instead dreamed up an alternate world where what you want existed, and then described that.

Or another way to look at it, it gave an answer that looks right enough that you can’t immediately tell it is wrong.

If you ever find yourself wishing for A not to have more than B in order to be "fair" to B wherein what is given to A doesn't directly detract from B you are practicing childish emotional thinking and should strive to be more rational. This is made blindingly obvious when you use emotional language like a "slap in the face".

If a company must select whom to layout it would seem logical to pick those who presently aren't contributing because they just had a kid and are on leave and yet we don't really want to live in a society where people are worried about having kids because they might be punished for it by being fired not least of which because we need a next generation and don't want the entirety of it to come from less intelligent people in lower performing households.

To take away the incentive and ensure at least the appearance of objectivity—different from emotional nonsensical fairness—its wise to decouple layoffs from maternity by dealing with any change in employment status after the end of maternity leave. If it still makes sense to lay them off or fire them after the end of their leave.

“Made our customers happy by allowing them to easily migrate to a self-hosted redis instance in AWS so they were able to build their business and brought in twice as much traffic”.

Your comment echos the crux of the article. Yes, this probably wasn’t an explicit goal for AWS, but the end result is that people aren’t using Amazon’s products because they’re the best, they’re just using them because it’s harder to change or more expensive not to (when it could be cheaper if the playing field was level).

They don’t check whether it is available until the last second. They take it even further than this too, they’ll literally charge your card for a domain they haven’t even checked is available. Then they refund you after. It’s ridiculous.

According to that, the concentration of radiation in the water directly under the plant is at least 50x above EPA limits. But that is where virtually no dilution will have occurred. If plant officials and state regulators are to be believed, the other monitoring locations around the site don’t yet show anything to get super worried about.

Edit: Just to note, I live in the general area, but not particularly close to this specific location. Lucky for me I live in the area with water contaminated by 3M PFCs rather than Xcel Energy radiation. /s

It shouldn't be unrealistically romanticized, but with University tuitions only reaching ever higher, much faster than inflation what other good solution is there for Young Adults to get a career and secure their financial future?

> What a university can provide is direction: an explicit decision about the order concepts are learned, and the perspective each concept is approached from.

Also just touching on "these things exist", converting unknown unknowns into known unknowns. That's the single biggest thing I got from my degree (having already been programming for years before), that nowadays I'm occasionally reminded of in a relevant context and can now dig deeper into.
I think people have a lot of shared context in college that they don't often have elsewhere. Depending on the college, but especially in the US campus experience, people live together, eat together, study together, party together, and more. So I don't think it's just the desirability of people.
Not sure that is much of a return on investment for the millions (?) of person-years of research that was spent on string theory.
> fields that don't truly need the education

Even if that's true, isn't part of the problem that a lot of those office jobs that don't absolutely need the knowledge still expect a bachelor's degree? Even if it was nothing more than "finishing school," you're going to have a hard time finding a job in HR, sales, etc. without college.
>Google was passing "w" to a call to parseMode(), when they should've been passing "wt" (the t stands for truncation). This is an easy mistake, since similar APIs (like POSIX fopen) will truncate by default when you simply pass "w". Not only that, but previous Android releases had parseMode("w") truncate by default too! This change wasn't even documented until some time after the aforementioned bug report was made.

Reading about this silent API change makes me feel like I'm losing braincells. What's going on with the processes behind Android's development?

That's not "solving problems." That's simply "maintaining the status quo in the face of opposition."
Who are these engineering suckers who are spending all of this dollar-labor on solutions YOU KNOW full well at every opportunity will they want to find a way to lock you in, or to obscure engineering costs to you to make a deal look cheap, and then not knowing that leaving the lock-in costs more than writing a cloud independent solution to begin with?

I blame this lazy attitude of not knowing how to use your tools and instead asking cloud providers to know how to do things for you. Every single time I see an engineering team fail to understand how to use their tools and do their homework, they take the easy and long-term expensive way out. Oh and by the way, those solutions engineers you talk to barely know any better either. You will STILL eventually have to learn how to actually use the infrastructure you chose.

I write solutions for enterprises that are entirely independent of cloud specific offerings and then make sales engineers fight for volume business knowing they have no leverage.

Oh, you price hiked on us without notice? We already had deployment scripts to move providers and perform db redirections same-day and had already gone through procurement with other providers for insurance. Oh darn. Guess you shouldn't screw around with your customers.

As soon as you enter the pool, they WILL pull the ladder from you.
The trouble is: where?

The alternative is a variety of places, and practically all of them have some kind of tax; where it be coffee, alcohol, or some kind of membership fee.

I found a few rating organizations, because my biggest fear was the money was being wasted. They all listed unbound, as the top 3 for effective use of money. Basically sponsoring a child. I auto send money on a monthly basis, so I consider it like a bill / expense and do not fail to provide.
Here's a succinct demonstration: https://go.dev/play/p/Li6_Rpe2R5L

Basically:
a slice is a triple of {ptr to allocation, number of elements used, size of allocation}

the slices will share the same underlying allocation. By specifying the third parameter in the slice function, you set the capacity equal to the number of elements in your slice. This forces the next append to reallocate and copy the contents into a new region.

Without bounding the capacity when creating a new slice, the append operation could possibly continue using the same allocation, shared with the original slice. It could possibly resize and copy as well. It depends on how full the slice is, and is an implementation detail subject to change between versions.
Because it wasn't a big deal but someone out there wants to take attention away from something else.

My guess

Not even a century and a half, really. The first Carnegie library was opened in 1883, for example.
>> It comes from a few observations:

Well, if you want to know whether neural nets are in their "infancy" you shouldn't make "observations", you should read the literature. It goes back many years. Go to the primary sources, why try to guess and risk guessing wrong, as here?

>> I stand by my claim: "neural network architectures are still in their infancy, it is very likely that more efficient approaches exist".

Half of your "claim" is incorrect. Don't just double down on it! There's really nothing to "claim" here, the "infancy" or not of neural nets is not a matter of claiming or guessing. Either you know what it is, or you don't.
Google Sheets, the product, may have excellent reliability, but business processes that rely on spreadsheets certainly do not. The point in my analogy was not that the planks of wood were bad products, it's that they were being misused by ignorant people.

Use wood planks as a temporary crossing, don't ferry cars over them. Run your bake sale with spreadsheets, don't run a multimillion business with them.

I don't need to link you to the resources on the astronomical number of problems that are caused by spreadsheet-oriented business processes and shadow IT. Using spreadsheets instead of proper systems shifts the operational burden onto humans, who certainly do not have perfect availability and durability.

Hello wonderful person!!
No. Here are the options:

1. Google is continuing to pay full health care for 6 months, for all laid off employees, as part of their severance.

2. In addition, in the US, workers at decent-sized companies have the option to get COBRA for up to 18 months. COBRA basically says you can stay on your employer's group health plan, but you have to pay the full premiums out of pocket (usually companies pay most or all of the premium). This can be particularly expensive for a family (e.g. $1500 a month or so).

3. After that, if you haven't gotten another job that offers insurance, you can get an individual plan through Obamacare. Again, the cost of these plans can be expensive depending on your circumstances and level of coverage.
The standard way to do this is to say I'm resigning as if such as such a day, and optionally that you are not joining a competitor

But from personal experience, this is a bad long term idea- much harder to get hired when you are unemployed, and no reason to offer to pay up to get you to leave. This will cost you in the long run
>IMHO, the takeaway here is that API footguns should be treated as security vulnerabilities.

Yeah, especially in this case, due to changing defaults and similar-but-differently-behaving APIs.

Defaults really suck sometimes. But so does not having any. And so many things can become security issues when used just so.

This may backfire if the VP suddenly gets, let's just say, "emotional" about the entire matter and then tried to be vindictive by providing a poor employment reference.
But why connect it to education? Why not make it general program for all ages? Why not encourage community run programs for teams consisting for example company workers, or local neighbourhood teams? The education ends very quickly and it is the older than that people who could really benefit from these activities.

Coworkers' names and the reason for meeting with them.

I used Anki for this when I was in a management position that involved meeting with many people, often just once or twice each, across my very large company. It was nice to be able to greet someone by name in the cafeteria six months after our meeting, and ask how such-and-such project was going. I'm sure some people already remember names, faces, and context effortlessly. I'm not one of those people. But I always appreciate when someone remembers me, so I was willing to work to do the same for them.

I stopped doing it once my work universe got a little more stable, and life's daily encounters were themselves the spaced repetition I needed to remember everyone.
