1. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

2. What could we do about it, if true?

3. Oumuamua being an alien spaceship was the plot of Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama. I think that possibility has been widely considered, and if it's true there should be two more coming along shortly.
It's obvious that if someone is called an "anti vaxxer" in the last two years It's referring to being against the Covid vaccine.

Seriously consider a universal healthcare. Accept that it will be imperfect, but more balanced and will offer a chance to everyone. Another way to look at it: everyone pays for a healthcare insurance --> everyone gets covered.
What guarantees do these systems provide? Are 100% of requests where data was served guaranteed to either end up in the log or at least create a detectable "logs may have been lost here" event?

Or does it log all the requests all the time as long as everything goes well, but if the wrong server crashes at the wrong time, a couple hundred requests may get lost because in the end who cares?
I worked at NV on compilers when the CUDA toolchain was brand new. Nobody would have saw this magnitude of parallel applications. Maybe some computer vision stuff. At the time it seemed like diversification from gaming to try and break into HPC, etc.
I have a feeling many hospital bills include plenty of services the patient didn't ask for. Not proposing the equivalent of a lawyer for medical cases, but it's interesting to think of patients having a fiduciary advocate by their side during medical treatment.
I love these lazy articles about people like Sachs and Thiel. They have a lot of money and talk a lot but don't really feel like "elite" in the sense used by this article.
> As far as I know nobody (other than bs "news" outlets) ever claimed covid-19 vaccinations would diminish the risk of getting covid-19.

> Nor vaccine manufacturers, nor virologists, nor doctors.

I... what?? The CDC literally still says this. (And they are correct to say it!)

The week of Feb 12, 2023, the incidence of COVID in the unvaccinated population was 137.32 per 100,000. The incidence of COVID in the vaccinated population without the updated booster shot was only 52.61 per 100,000. (With the booster, only 39.95 per 100,000.)

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#rates-by-vaccine-s...

In other words, being vaccinated continues to massively diminish the risk of catching COVID. And vaccination was, of course, much more effective in the early days before the spread of vaccine resistant variants.
I think the opposite applies here - they want “passionate” people because they’re the ones that will work > 40 hours for free.

Assuming this is accurate, this was a much better explanation than the wikipedia page.
The article implies that you have to buy kosher or fancy gourmet salt if you don't want iodine.

That seems weird, every supermarket I can think of has "regular" plain old Morton salt in clearly labeled non-iodized canisters alongside iodized stuff.

Also, as a chemical-phobe, why would I want Himalayan or sea salt with literally a million times more chemicals?
Given two identical individuals eating an isocaloric diet the diet which stimulates insulin less will result in greater weight loss or lower weight gain.
They will not be the last. There is a lot of political capital being spent in this area, both because it improves health outcomes for young people, and because whatever negative side effects might arise will largely be borne by California and the larger tech industry alone. Big Tech is not seen as an ally in many state capitals.

So making a bad decision is bad, but admitting it was a bad decision and reversing it is also bad?
Adam Sandler doesn’t need your respect. But he’s getting it anyway
Concorde predated business class seating (and lie-flat) and, yeah, there was a premium over first class. (I had heard 30% but whatever.) My dad got "upgraded" once but he actually preferred regular (Pan Am I think) first class because of meal on board and timing.

Usually I'll take a day flight from NYC to London anyway so lie-flat doesn't really matter. I am taking a red-eye in a couple weeks, which I really try to avoid, but that's because United now has a direct from Boston to London so doing the zero dark thirty thing via Newark doesn't really make sense. If I'm awake the whole time, business is nicer but not a couple grand nicer for 7 hours or so. I can have some really nice meals and other things for that in London if I want to.

Yeah, there's no heliport at the former Pan Am building now but there is a heliport in midtown.

BA1 was the business class only LCY-JFK flight. It stopped and hasn't restarted AFAIK. Business-class only has been a tough sell economically.
Would be interesting to compare its performance to similar AI cores in other SoCs, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon or Google's Tensor.

Yeah. It's good hardware. You can get cheaper cards (even cost-competitive options) on PC but Nvidia won't sell them to you. Especially not now that they're got 10 billion dollars on their TSMC tab.
It could be that any nasal spray would have had that affect, even just a weak water only one. Considering that nasal irrigation is a treatment for hay fever, I can see it having some effect even if the medicine part isn’t applicable.
Separate how? It's all still getting fed into the same text processing pipe. The tools to do something that's fundamentally different from that literally don't exist yet.
If all insurance companies published all the code combinations covered for every procedure/diagnosis, I might buy this argument. But they don't. I've asked Blue Cross and they said they don't disclose those details. Many billing codes are open to some interpretation. So if insurance companies aren't transparent about what codes are or are not covered, why are the doctors' offices at fault when something is denied? Why isn't the default response from every insurer "code X isn't covered in combination with code Y. <some clarifying questions, explanation, and related codes>"? Why is it a black box?
Don't you mean /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC ? If I remember correctly, /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc is a directory, and /etc/localtime should point to a zoneinfo file.
They used to have a similar picture on their front page, IIRC.
> how high school students need simplified versions

That's how I interpreted it.

One problem with 'ladders' (i.e. intentional use of simplified explanations) is that if someone is taught the simplification but never realises there's more to it, they can think they know how something works when in fact they don't, which could be worse than not knowing at all.

That set of qualities (being wrong but certain they're right) reminds me of the 'midwit' meme.
"no link to myocarditis" (proved false, especially for young men"

What is your definition of a lie? If there wasn't evidence of this when the statement was made then it's true.
IMO being loyal is like being sweet, which will attract ants of all sort and suck all juices out of you. Sometimes, being bitter (saying NO) is an art.
I think so. We use GPT for stuff like extracting the author from articles (if they aren't in the Schema.org data or marked up elsewhere), summarising them, extracting relevant tags to link articles together, etc. It's very useful for that kind of information extraction stuff when there's no structure to the data, or the structure is only sometimes followed.
Assuming servers should be UTC because timezones are hard, you could say servers should be airgapped because security is hard. Or that you should only type ASCII because Unicode is hard.

I mean, yes, you can do that, but don't pretend that a program not handling unicode is the user's fault for typing unicode (s/unicode/timezones, s/typing/using).

EDIT: I'm just saying that you can't blame the user for using the features that come with the system.

I used to use the apps atimelogger (http://www.atimelogger.com/) and atracker (http://www.wonderapps.se/ATracker/home.html) for a year and two years, respectively. I tracked work and certain non-work activities (e.g, sleep and such), and it was very effective. The reports helped with awareness around relative time spent over different projects and such.

While all the tracking was manual, and I tried to do it either in real time or by the end of the day (or at best the next day), it was useful to have some automated time tracking tools for double-checking in recall. For this, I use mostly Timing (https://timingapp.com/) and location tracking on my phone.

Now I use a custom entry system in Obsidian which lets me do more fine-grained reports (e.g, by project) and also has the advantage that I have one app less to worry about. I still have Timing to help with recall though. Some people use Timing exclusively - and it does have several advanced features and a nice UI!
Mostly I just Google the information it tells me, and see if I can find confirmation from sources known to be written by humans, such as official docs or other equally-trustworthy sources.

For example, just today I asked ChatGPT "In UNIX, what is the difference between redirecting with symbols like > and <, versus redirecting with the | symbol?" I had trouble Googling this same question because the characters <, >, and | confused Google, and the first-page search results were all irrelevant.

However, ChatGPT told me that the difference was that < and > were used for "redirection" of input and output into or out of a file, where as the character | was used for piping output into a command. Based on this, I was able to Google "piping vs redirection" and find confirmation from Stack Overflow.
Time between meals could actually be a factor in my success so far. I only eat 2 meals per day most days. I've done IF and OMAD before, but kind of "Ad lib in the window" which still made me gain weight typically.

It could be that I'm minimizing insulin by only eating protein in one meal, and my other meal is energy-dense (heavy cream) but doesn't raise insulin at all. So in terms of insulin, it's an OMAD diet yet still allows me to eat to satiety.
Like I said, YMMV.

200k is the starting developer comp at a FAANG. As you rise in level, 200k becomes the comp range within a level (eg take a look at levels.fyi range for a Google L6 SWE). Same in finance.

Agree that these jobs are few in the grand scheme of things but there are hundreds of thousands of people for whom this type of comp is reality.

People can start at the same level out of school and then make MULTIPLES of that comp depending on what they do.

If this doesn't apply to you, it doesn't apply to you. I am just pointing out that bailing because "this hour of overtime is not compensated" can be very nearsighted depending on your situation.

Specifically, I am talking about someone I know who had this attitude in a company that very clearly rewarded value generation. He did "ok" since it was a great company but he literally had the situation I am describing where others were making 200k more than him 5 years later.
In terms of cost/benefit, I think it makes way more sense to learn to think in terms of "algebras", and how to create both internal and external DSLs in a host language. I've found it incredibly helpful to have an algebra-first approach as I model a (complex) domain and service interactions. Being able to write business logic as the composition of algebraic actions in several lower-level services, along with interpreters just feels great.

Of course this overlaps strongly with particular aspects of compilers, but I find that external DSLs, which is where the overlap is greatest, are the tool that I reach for least often and that elicit the greatest resistance from fellow engineers.

> The amazing part is that they found so many people willing.

Honestly it doesn't surprise me that much. People who tend to end up in these opportunities have incredibly privileged lives that allowed them to arrive at such an event/opportunity. With those privileged lives they can be quite insulated from stuff like theft, security, etc.

Just because someone's privileged, or rich, or a founder, or hell even technical... doesn't mean they have common sense. Handing custody of your phone over for no reason other than a "social experience" is just evidence of how they're out-of-touch from normal life/security practices.
Here's a potential amendment that could be added to the GPLv3 to allow for the use of source code in training AI models:

"In addition to the permissions granted by Section 2 of this License, the source code distributed under this License may be used in the training of artificial intelligence models, provided that:

a) The resulting models are made available to the public under a free software license that allows anyone to use, modify, and distribute the software without any additional restrictions; and

b) The models are not used for any commercial purposes, including but not limited to training proprietary models or selling access to the trained models.

Any use of the source code for training proprietary models or for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. This amendment shall be effective immediately upon adoption and supersedes any conflicting terms of this License."
Since this only seems to happen in Ireland, could it be because Ireland technically has summer time as its standard time, and winter time as negative DST? Not sure how that's implemented in tzdata, but it could very well be that some applications can't handle that.
For one, you could temporarily lose your child/parents. Whenever something bad happens to a child and there was an investigation in progress the investigators are criticized. So they've set things up in many states to bias strongly towards briefly taking the child away and placing them with strangers. But that has long-lasting negative impacts on childhood development.
Gunna take something a lot more radical than that.
Yeah, it’s obvious as a last resort for judging employees. If you know nothing about the work itself, all you can confidently assess is responsiveness and agreeableness. But beware of the incentives this can create.

When managers reward looking busy and sacrificial rituals, you also end up with short-termism. A team can tread water for years, being constantly “rescued” by “heroes” when a fire starts. This may not be the best people to promote. Wanting to be helpful and being helpful are not the same things.

In software and product development, the best performing teams, in my experience, are small. They have a well defined area of responsibility and a strong culture of ownership. It takes time and commitment to build that up, but when it’s in a good state, it runs on its own like a well maintained clockwork. Not only is this much more relaxing and fun to work with, it also performs so much better in the long run, and requires very little hands-on management.
Same here. I am adjacent two vendor-supported Proxmox clusters (Motorola Emergency CallWorks 911 phone system) and there was no outage / issue last fall moving from EDT to EST, nor two weeks ago flipping back. We’re a 24x7 operation and would have heard about any outage (either planned to address the issue before it occurred, or triage during an unplanned outage).
At the end of the day, yes there are a lot of rich kids who get helicopter parented and sent to ivy leagues and they perpetuate the system of benefitting the few who have the most resources in life. But quite a few kids who are less fortunate, perhaps a bad combination of less fortunate with terrible homelifes who have little chance to succeed in school, are able to move to fairly high quality state schools after doing a couple years at what are usually free, if not incredibly affordable community colleges.

The problem is with the existence of colleges like the Ivys, or MIT, or any other massive private research university. There is no sense in schools like this holding so much wealth with their disgustingly large endowments. Why can't these schools be broken up, or, better yet, nationalized (or turned into state schools)? The problem is not affirmative action or prep-school kids, but the very existence of these massive, corrupt institutions which function increasingly not so much as halls of education but hedge-funds for the ultra-wealthy.
is the difference more than 5% - 10%? because there are differences between the efficiency of energy consumed during digestion of the different macros (Fat, Protein, Carbs). That could be the obvious difference here. Otherwise, it's not a red herring.

For example, I've heard that if 100 calories is eaten of protein, you may only digest 80 calories, arbitrary number, but it may differ than carbohydrate's 90 calories per 100 eaten.
The piece of software that was written by a computer (by an ML algorithm, to be precise) is called a "model". "Inference" is the execution of this software.
That's why it's better to have everyone covered under insurance, so that the risk pool is larger, and the cost to the individual is lower.

That's why it's important to spend money on research; to develop new technologies and techniques, and improve existing technologies and techniques; that can make cost of care lower.

That's why it's important to have standards of care and treatment, for all medical providers to follow.
Hm, not sure, already closed the ssh. But it did work for us.

The correct fix would be timedatectl, but as you can guess, that's broken together with systemd.
You've hit on another huge part of my angst here.

Literally my entire squad is remote except for me. I love other coworkers in my department & it's fun to see them again. But there's no one on my squad to talk with. And now the office has a bunch of hybrid teams like my own, where the floor has multiple people on conference call every single minute of the day. It's awful. It's the worst in-office environment I've ever had.

That said, I'm still not going to lie about my address to the company. Just because I have a significant fear of dealing with taxes as it is, and this seems like an incredibly obvious way to make your tax-life unbelievably more difficult.
But why CJ and not JC?
If you think about it, the kind of corporate loyalty we are talking about is a lot closer to gambling than generosity. Just like gambling, it's the belief that the corporate one-armed bandit remembers your contributions of time and work, and will surely reward you for that.
Try giving some thought to the consequences of your line of thought if applied before 1865 in the US and I hope you'll understand exactly how specious it is.
It's rather silly to start the article blaming sexism for her relative obscurity, when the real reason is revealed later and contradicts it: "She was even offered the Legion of Honour, the highest French order of merit, but again declined, saying that the award should be "reserved for more important things than cooking well".
This may be highly dependent on problem domain or programming language (see the other article about GPT tending to hallucinate any time it is given problems that don't exist in its training set). My experience has mostly been that the output (including simple stuff like "test this function", though we generally avoid unit tests due to low benefit and high cost) is consistently so flawed that the time to fix it approaches the time to write it.
I think there could be even more components. For example eating some foods actually makes me way more hungry than I was before.
Take yogurt or (stevia) sweetened, flavored whey protein powder. I'm ok, then I eat some, then I'm ravenous. I'm literally way hungrier after eating those foods than before. Cheese has it, too. Most carbs as well, especially sweet ones
I think it might be something about insulin being released from dairy and from sweet taste. Even if it's zero-caloric sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, I feel a spike in appetite 15-30 minutes later.

Yes and no. That specifically is a C & C++ thing but the general concept you'll learn in a compilers course. If you intimately understand how a compiler works (even just generally), you pick up a really concise understanding of how the errors come about and how they tie back to the language.

Understanding the lexer and the parser explains a lot of common errors (missing/ semicolon or curly bracket) and why they often point to errors in otherwise perfectly correct & unrelated code instead of their source location.

Understanding the compiler itself and how it operates over an AST means that if you get an error regarding a particular set of semantics, you can quickly learn what the implications are and how that maps to your code.

A good example (other than the GP's) is the massive, ugly template or overloading errors. They make sense and explain to you everything the compiler tried to do and how it failed each time it tried. The compiler doesn't know what is wrong and therefore doesn't have a more concise error to give you so it just tells you everything "it knows". From that you can work back and see where what you intended the code to do diverged from what the compiler thought the code did.

So it is a language thing but you build the intuition to pick up those language skills by learning/understanding compilers in general.
Cry me a river when paying claims keeps insurers from turning a profit. They brought all the contempt heaped on them upon themselves.
You're thinking of CICO, not eating less. They have nothing to do with each other.
all it means is that you repeatedly practiced a set of problems and solutions and are able to quickly reproduce them.

it does not mean you have the experience, creativity and insight to create something new and innovative.
I’m sure that happens. In lots of cases there’s nothing I can do about that. In many cases, an hour or two together is enough for people to drop that with me, personally. I’m pretty “boundary dissolving”.

What I don’t think will ever really work, though, is getting introduced as a software engineer and being annoyed at people for it. Or, even speaking up, “that’s something I do, it doesn’t define me”.

It’s pretty hard to convince people of stuff by telling them. It’s just about impossible to convince someone your are not contained by an identity when it seems to have such a tight hold on you.
