> Japanese don't want non-Japanese (non-Yamato) people in there

Blanket statements are not very helpful. There are certainly people who are against immigration but there is also a large number of people who are not against it as long as it's "controlled". Nobody want open borders with no control, unless you are completely out of your mind.

> I don't think this is a country someone from the outside can really integrate there.

Many foreigners have had no problems living and loving living in Japan for centuries by now.
Taking 80 cents on the dollar == illiquid is exactly the point I was making. Selling quickly is a necessary but not sufficient condition to meet the definition of liquid. That 80 bil in bonds isn't liquid if they had it on the books as hold-to-maturity and took a haircut to sell it early.

>Yeah, it is, to us in the financial world.

I get the feeling we're talking around each other, your response indicates that we (probably) agree, and I'll assume it was my own communication failure, so I won't otherwise remark on this snarky & somewhat inaccurate (in its implications) comment.
I don’t believe there are aliens out there. And to help “prove” that I ran SETI for years on my pentium 4.

I think I later switched to Folding@home to run on my laptop.
I think maybe physical buttons. Pushing button is better than everything hidden behind nested menu on the screen.

For example low-end TV's menu is insanely laggy nowadays because of the limited processing power of on board chip. And useless transition animation add to the lagginess.

Chain restaurants in Japan upgraded their old school vendor machine to LCD screen counterpart, and they all suck.
East Asia is a big place. Taiwan definitely treats its foreigners and ethnic minorities a lot better than Japan.

On the other hand, China has concentration camps for its ethnic minorities. Yes Japan doesn’t have concentration camps for Ainu, so I guess they’re doing OK?
I'm pretty sure Tungsten and borated polyethylene are best at shielding against different types of radiation. Dense materials like tungsten and lead are ideal for blocking gamma rays and x-rays, while borated polyethylene is better at blocking neutrons.

Depending on your environment and the sensitivities of what you're shielding, you might need one or the other, and possibly both.

Not sure why you are getting grayed but you are right. Ironmouse has the record for third most subs held at a single time on the whole platform since it began tracking this stuff. There are unfortunately a lot of "hot tub girls" and similar on the site, but to say that Twitch is mostly that and barely any gaming streams is super disingenuous. The number of nsfw streamers is pretty small compared to all of the gaming streamers and the nsfw streamer audience is a pretty small portion of Twitch audience as a whole. It is also incorrect to say that Just Chatting is always the top category because of the nsfw content. KaiCenat, who is currently the streamer that pulls in the most viewers at between 90k and 200k viewers each stream and he is in Just Chatting quite often. There are also many, many streamers that make Just Chatting content that is perfectly safe for work(At least if you aren't getting in trouble for watching anything at work!). One of the streamers I watch most is always in Just Chatting and his content is exploring Tokyo and other parts of Japan. Other than the occasional crude joke, his stream is pretty wholesome. I think a lot of people underestimate the scope of Twitch and the size of it's userbase. For the year of 2022, Twitch had an average of 2.58 million concurrent viewers. NSFW channels are a small portion of that, they are just especially noticeable when scrolling through stream lists since they intentionally dress provocatively to pull in viewers.
I don’t particularly like React, but I don’t think it’s horrible either. I also think it has introduced a lot of important concepts to a space that wasn’t particularly predisposed to them. It’s an overall good, even if it’s not my preference.
- Laying off somebody on maternity leave and then not paying them for that leave is exactly what you would expect from a company laying somebody off _because_ they're on maternity leave, which would be strikingly illegal (IMO not immoral per se -- that burden should be averaged across all of society rather than localized to each employer -- definitely illegal though). At a minimum they'd want their ducks in a row to ensure those layoffs were legitimate.

- Promising a person a particular thing (approving maternity leave, for example) goes above and beyond the ordinary employment contract, and cutting the duration of that promise short doesn't sit well.

- Google offers (offered?) a variety of specialized healthcare plans that you can choose _instead of_ a standard PPO or whatever, and those require you to move to doctors in a very small network. Cutting off those services and saying "LOL, have fun with finding new doctors on top of figuring out Cobra" with less than a day of warning is a bigger inconvenience than you'd expect from comparable layoffs elsewhere.

Nah, HLT is pretty old and even back then had meaningful impact on power consumption. If you were running Win9x though you would've had to install an additional driver for it, as those really just busy waited otherwise when nothing was happening.
My regulatory.db (and regulatory.db.p7s) lives in /lib/firmware; have you tried copying it there? And I make "iwlwifi" a loadable module, so the userspace firmware loader can pick up the various firmware blobs once the rootfs is loaded (not a big fan of initrds).

conflict of interest. The more influence youtube gets, the more the other media channels are going to say bad things about them
Celebrities are not your friends.

Remember all those celebrities who claimed they'd bought Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs? That was all a scam.[1] It was put together by a Hollywood agent who represented both a long list of major celebrities and BAYC. Now there's a lawsuit against all the parties involved.
Kim Kardashian was already fined a few million dollars by the SEC for that sort of thing.

Let's also not forget that Zuck has more than 50% of the votes, even while owning less than half the stock. He's accountable to literally no one.

Oh sweet summer child. It's ancestors were so much worse. They had to deal with Microsoft Internet Explorer

jQuery. bootstrap. And if that doesn't strike fear in your heart, ANGULAR!
No, you need not. Especially if you own a time machine.
Its a matter of perspective, though.

Analogy:-

Because of a tool such as Grammarly, I no longer recommend my kids to bother when they lose marks due to minor grammatical mistakes on a handwritten test.

They better put that 80-20 to practice and learn to recognize aggressively reducing their efforts/tasks/work to 20 wherever possible.

Their English teacher disagrees with me.

Maybe, we do have a horse in this race.

This comment was edited in Grammarly, and it score a 67 out of 100 on readability.
So this guy is basically complaining about GPT-4 not being a super-intelligence. Still that makes it more powerful and versatile thae the great majority of programmers out there.... And the game is only getting started. This is just the warmup.
I think it's because people care about fixing broken things in the world. There's no mystery here. We want to know what's broken in order to discuss and debate solutions.

If there's perception of injustice or bad practice in the community, then yes people will click the negativity. Apart from that there's the "popcorn" consumption, where negative things are more entertaining.
It's just as well. Seeing into the twisted workings of Zuck's mind isn't going to reassure any normal people

"Oh, you saw an opportunity to save money by firing people randomly and threatening the rest, so you can get almost as much work out of us without paying bonuses or promoting people this year? Friedman[1] would be very proud of you sir!"

I only started last year. So far not a lot! I find it helps me clarify my own thoughts however.
Yeah, there are a handful of (some retired) adult movie stars that stream on the site. I'm not sure how to distinguish the traditional adult movie stars from OnlyFans people in regards to this post, but for the "traditional" stars, they all seem super cheerful and friendly, and other than wearing tight-fitting shirts I don't know that any of them have done anything lewd at all. From what I can tell, they are good members of the overall Twitch community, same as tons of other people.
A company has a basic obligation to only do what makes sense, not what is superfluous.

Mis-hiring a ton of people to only let lots of people go shows a untrustworthy dishonest shallow character.

Maybe in some cases companies honestly fuck up, but most of the time it just looks like the idiotic cancer of growth at all costs attitude, a delusional nature. The infinite quintupling down that seems to be the one & only move business-types so often seem to have, a pattern of relentless self-promotion in all conditions.

The genuineness of a company that can tap a wider base, to make calibrated decisions upon, is rare. And instances like this just show how much disdain there is from the top to everyone below. Utter disrespect, no acknowledgement that the org was being false, no try to do right., just letting trust in the org fail.

Pretty sure they were asking rhetorically, because the answer is obviously not, since that’s not how LLMs work
People could retreat to the physical world where AI is useless.

That being said, people still do things they're outclassed at. We still have blacksmiths.
Because while you are on a medical leave or a maternity leave it’s especially difficult for you to sort out things, or to find another job? “I laid you off while you’re lactating, please find another job in 60 days or leave US”.

In most places in EU it would be illegal to layoff people in those situations, that’s not a US thing of course, but just asking the already-approved deal to be honored seems just obvious.
Those Palazzo pants have big Kefka energy
I would like to identify the malign influence you are pushing - free speech is not incompatible with propaganda machinery or as you put it warfare machinery, the concept that it is all about pushing politics or policies ignores the very real complicating factor of WHO is pushing this as you put it "technology which allows the perfect weapon to do just that to people, often without their knowledge".

I'm sure effect of foreign psyops warfare campaigns is non-neglible but I'm also fairly certain the US itself lead and produced the majority of these technical tools, and for various perverse reasons have employed them upon its own populous. The set of individuals who would have a reason to do so is not large, they stand to gain finance and power from this.

Don't confuse calls to remove the tyrant-techno-or-industry-kings with socialism - the "Republic" of America is precisely founded on unseating these complete bastards. Just happen to have grown a set of them at home.
The elephant in the room is that a lot of outsourcing jobs will get slashed first. Curious how this will affect the economy of countries such as india or other popular outsourcing destinations.
so machine a die, machine your part, build random fixtures, cast lead on to your part...

It's a bit of a no brainer.

Even if you just want a shielding layer, the convenience of this will win out on low volume parts.
God he discovered so many of these? I wonder what it must have been like, to realize, “hey, no one’s found this one before either!!”
Because sociopaths are without expressive feeling, not professionals? If you've somehow learned, or have been taught, that professionalism means not emoting then you've been taught wrong IMO. Moderation in all things, including lack of emotion.

"I don't feel comfortable leaving pertinent information out of our regulatory filing, even if it's technically not against the law to do so."

Letting another person you are working with know that you are uncomfortable is the polite way to enforce personal boundaries in a professional, or personal, setting.
Coding is a small percentage of a programming job, I don't write more than 100 lines / day, GPT tools are also very late to the party of code generation, it's been 40 years of development in this area.
Was going to say this is what I do. Shooting and fishing are very similar. Outdoor range, mixed cultural group every time. Mostly paper punching with rifles, like you, but also obliterating clays a few times per year.
The concept that escapes you has a name: tragedy of the commons [1]. Yes, it is frustrating and depressing, in the long run a feeling of hopelessness settles in, that we are unable to share resources: we have failed to do so with the bodies of dead dinosaurs, creating authoritarian glorified gas stations as a side-effect, and we have failed to do so with more ethereal substances such as compute.

All the cutesy technowords-of-the-day, blockchain/dapp/web3/torrent/magnet links, are just a bandage over a greater point: ever since the atomic bomb, once we became able to destroy the planet, we needed to become a new species, evolve our cone of care. We were unable to do so and hopefully we will be extinct before we destroy the planet, let some other species have their try in a few million years, before the sun runs out.

Aw come on jQuery was fun! Remember those big long chained commands? Remember how suddenly you could just select anything off the page, using cas selectors? Remember how much easier ajax and animation and dom manipulation and events were with jQuery?
In other words, "go touch grass", preferably with other people.
I could also add to that in Spider-Man they're not using parallax mapping for the interiors, it's a different technique that instead creates four quad surfaces inside the pixel shader I'm not sure however if the performance is cheaper or not, I'm a different kind of tech artist
GPT3 is from 2020. I know ChatGPT is slightly novel, but let’s not exaggerate.
Always found Docker merely caching layers/images as files named after opaque hashes in the file system un-Unixy. And it's also uneconomical in terms of local disk space (image dir building up) and network usage (images pulled to every individual host). Why not use clear names and use eg BitTorrent? Why tie this to a registry service over IP in the first place?
They also need to be grounded, if they're only in contact with you they're an antenna.
Your third paragraph describes language pretty well (although I'd quibble with formal grammars only being 'vague' in their coverage - I think they do a pretty good job although I agree they can never be perfect). And I appreciate the achievement of LLMs in being able to take in language prompts and return useful responses. So it's an achievement that is useful certainly in providing a 'natural language' querying and information collating tool. (I agree here with your second paragraph.)

But it remains a tool and a derivative one. You will see people in these recent HN threads making grandiose claims about LLMs 'reasoning' and 'innovating' and 'trying new things' (I replied negatively under a comment just like this in this thread). LLMs can't and will never be able to do these things because, as I've already said, they are completely derivative. They may, by collating information and presenting it to the user, provoke new insights in the human user's mind. But they won't be forming any new insights themselves, because they are machines and machines are not alive, they are not intelligent, and they cannot think or reason (even if a machine model can 'learn').
IMO this is pretty much how all of tech is starting to feel. Not good.
It's been a while since I've looked into self-hosted alternatives, do you happen to have any concrete suggestions applicable to solo developers or small teams with limited time and budgets (i.e. not self-hosted GitLab)?

The last time I've looked at self-hosted CI/CD, Concourse stood out as one of the more promising options.

As for code and container registry - Gitea? It seems like it has an integrated container registry now, so that's a plus.
"Mornings are for coffee and contemplation"

In the summer, I go have tea on the balcony. I only bring my iPad, which is a glorified notebook and book.

It's nice to start the day slowly without a hard dose of internet. I feel like it completely changes the direction my day takes, because I only open the computer once I know what I'll be doing.
It's certainly possible -fork the repo, start coding, ask others to contribute, start reviewing, use any review tools and processes that you consider aren't outdated.
The other way they could have monetised it is to limit the amount of time you can spend on it per day. I prefer this system.

What makes you so confident its the outsourced jobs that will get cut and not the domestic ones?
This material has radiation shielding properties far worse than just lead - lead which is cheaper and easier to manufacture

Pure tungsten on the other hand is very good and can even shield beta particles
Note that it's 75% by weight, not volume, which is about 15% by volume. A little disappointing.
Google not honouring medical leave during layoffs
> I don't think Mark's answers are necessarily unfair either, he's running a business after all. He does have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, even if that means making difficult staffing decisions (still true even if they were his fault to begin with by over-hiring). Ultimately you agree to participate in this framework by accepting a job at a public company.

The problem is, these companies haven’t been hiring to their needs. Instead they have been competitively hiring to A) try to ensure they have the best talent and B) to overinflate their engineering trajectory as a means to pad their corporate value.

This is 100% the fault of the industry and not the employees and they should be held accountable. They’ve impacted near 100k people’s livelihoods with their self-interested and idiotic business moves. So I’m not interested in their fluff answers or “fiduciary duty”.
Ugh what a constant sad reminder of America becoming cowards & letting a new police state loser-dom emerge after September 11th. A sad sorry institution which will always only ever demand more, will further perpetrate demands against the individual, and never ever face real meaningful pushback against their infinite hunger to intrude.

Shitty shitty embarrassing part of American history, like the whole sad "homeland security" complex which has done nothing, is nothing, protects nothing, but ever encroaches.
This is ridiculous. There are on the order of 10 million lap children per year. Over the last 40 years, it looks like there have been two lap children that died that might not have had they been in a car seat on the plane. Over that 40 year period, that would be 400 million lap children, so the additional risk is about 1/200 million.

If you figure a typical airline ticket costs about $150 each way, that comes to $30 billion per life saved.

Bottom line is if you want to spend money on your kid's safety, buying them their own airline seat is probably the worst way you could do it.

Of course parents always have the option to buy the extra seat if they want to, but to force parents to do this in the name of safety is asinine.
true that; regardless of YouTube.
This could easily be attributed to a lack of diagnosis. Less than 70 years ago it was common for the official cause death to be “natural causes”, which was the default catch-all when the cause couldn’t be attributed to anything else. Not for lack of trying, we just didn’t have the technology and wealth of research and knowledge until fairly recently.

Go read the obituaries in the historic New York Times archives, it’s insane. Infants and children would die and best we could do was shrug it off and say “god works in mysterious ways” or some such bullshit.
In the description of the technology in the Collection section they explain that facial recognition systems mistake the patterns on the clothes for animals like dogs, giraffes, and zebras.

I don't know how this technology works. Is it not possible to train a system to say "human face" or not without accidental identifications of non-humans?

Edit: (And thus not be fooled by this?)
Hard disagree. Front end development was an order of magnitude easier better faster before FB pushed React into the dev mindspace.

This depends on the quality of life for the non-working.
Traveling with people is a nightmare. They always want to get up at different times to do things, see different things than you, stay longer at certain places or shorter.
G attracted workers by offering this baby bonding leave and increased it recently from 12 weeks to 18 weeks. Even amazon is letting people on leave finish it before their severance starts according to the article. This whole layoff round at G looks extremely rushed and someone probably didn't think through all the edge cases, such as people already on leave. For 20 years, G's main advantage was top of market perks and culture (comp was good, but not the top). These layoff rounds have permanently hurt Google's reputation IMO. When the tech hiring market gets competitive again, they will either have to raise comp significantly once everyone realizes the culture has changed or they won't be competitive to attract the top talent.
And, from the other side, we have facial recognition systems resistant to being confused.[1]

The more advanced systems mark those people as persons of interest.[2] Then "appearance search" tracks them.[3]

Those marketing pieces are becoming a bit tedious to decypher for me. The real message is not something about React SPAs but something about Wasp? Just tell me this thing about Wasp and don't distract me with something about React.
Yes, if the worker was on maternity leave when laid off. What I have noticed about American culture, despite having money they are extreme penny pitches in the oddest of places.
I do the same on all social media. I don't follow anyone.
