PyInstaller is only one of several ways to do this. It bundles the Python interpreter, script, and dependencies together, drops them in a temp directory, and then starts the script using that interpreter, but that isn't the only technique.

There are also source-to-source translation tools like Nuitka that translate Python to C, which can then be compiled to a PE. Nuitka is less reliable than PyInstaller, but harder to reverse engineer for predictable reasons.
> Apple also gets users to subsidize the cost of compute indefinitely (by buying the expensive phone), rather than using their servers.

Subsidizing the smart speaker hardware and running everything on their servers hasn't worked out well for Alexa and Google Assistant.

> The Alexa division is part of the "Worldwide Digital" group along with Amazon Prime video, and Business Insider says that division lost $3 billion in just the first quarter of 2022, with "the vast majority" of the losses blamed on Alexa. That is apparently double the losses of any other division, and the report says the hardware team is on pace to lose $10 billion this year. It sounds like Amazon is tired of burning through all that cash.

Google expressed basically identical problems with the Google Assistant business model last month. There's an inability to monetize the simple voice commands most consumers actually want to make, and all of Google's attempts to monetize assistants with display ads and company partnerships haven't worked. With the product sucking up server time and being a big money loser, Google responded just like Amazon by cutting resources to the division.

Taking the compiler course changed my career from day 1.

In my first job, back in the late 90s, I was working for a company that, having taken their biggest customer yet, had to split a very large C monolith into chunks that could run on separate servers. The architecture team of the company found all the places where the system should be cut, but that let them with hundreds of functions that had to be replaced with asynchronous calls relying on a queuing system. I was hired into the team that had to stub those hundreds of functions, type up serialization and deserialization for all the hundreds of data structures involved, and gluing it all together. So they had budgeted for 6 months of typing from a team of relatively new developers.

As you might expect, that's not how anyone wants their career to go, but I had taken the compiler class. So I knew I could parse all the header files for the functions we needed to replace, parse the data structures along with it, and just generate all the boilerplate away. My dev lead thought there's no way we could do this, but his manager decided that, at works, giving me two weeks to try it would be a great opportunity to teach the new hire the limit of his knowledge. But as anyone that has taken the compiler course knows, parsing boring C structs and header files isn't magic. So two weeks later, the project was done, and it was working.

As you might imagine, the dev lead, in his 40s, couldn't handle the results all that well, and left quickly. So I went from being stuck writing boilerplate from month to a quick promotion to team lead in under a quarter, all thanks to the compiler course.

The way science works, if you have a theory, like "fitness promotes an 'alpha' above the rest", you need to find evidence to support it. You don't just come up with a way you think the world works, and insist it works that way because it's _possible_ that the findings don't _disprove_ it.

Here we have a guy who's been studying wolves for decades, and says it doesn't work like you describe. But you are so certain it works that way, that you say, well, he hasn't proved absolutely with certainty that it _doesn't_. That is not the way scientific knowledge works. The people actually studying wolves for years say it does not in fact work like you are simply assuming it does.
We as a society have decided you need an ID for alcohol, and ID for marijuana in the states where it is legal, and so forth. We know that social media can be just as habit-forming, addictive, and dangerous to mental health; especially among teenagers.

I see no reason why society should not extend ID requirements to certain times of night.
Jlc’s preferred (?) circuit making program is EastEDA.com and it has pretty tight integration to parts on lcsc.com. You can of course use any circuit program like kicad. Jlc will assemble boards inexpensively for you if you select the right components (which easyeda will show you if a component can be picked from jlc). I transitioned away from through hole parts to surface mount parts with these tools. pretty awesome that they offer this service for a home hobbyist. They now offer double sided assembly, too.

Or, you can order the components from lcsc and they’ll give you a shipping discount. It’s pretty affordable overall, although prices have increased in the past year.

It's a great challenge that hasn't yet run out of new places it'll run.

I can say that the first time I ever ran DOOM, I was blown away because I had no idea my computer could even do that. The game is forgiving of poor specs, even though it is in 3D space. So it runs on just about anything.

Got a new microcontroller? Sweet, does it run DOOM?

The answer is either a) of course, or b) not yet. What a great challenge that sometimes really surprises.
It's not surprising at all for Utah. That is a highly Mormon run state that has strong stances on how you should live your life. Even if you are a "goi" (I use the word loosely to illustrate the cultural metaphor in a us v them mentality) to them.

What is amazing is that they have this strong stance on how to restrictively govern the people inside their borders, but yet expect to have a western lifestyle support them. More organizations should stand up and say "I'll pass" in a blanket ban on them.
100% agree with everything you said. Feeling cold is one of the major symptoms I get when fasting for a few days or undereating on purpose. I can only do it for so long before I get chilly, can't concentrate, get irritated, my immune system seems to shut down and I get a cold..

> This time is then converted to local time per the OS timezone setting.

What exactly do you mean by this? As in, what part of your software stack is doing this. IIRC if you set your OS to be in UTC then anything at the OS level will only speak UTC. Databases and your own software will do what they are told to do but systemd etc. will all speak UTC only. Even running date in the shell should give you a UTC timestamp.
> it puts the burden of enforcement on tech platforms rather than the kids' parents

What else do you expect? When tech companies make phones secure enough for the NSA, every app has passwords, and most apps have disappearing messages, how exactly do you expect parents to monitor what their kids are doing?

All the "parental monitoring" apps do is check how much time kids are using the phone. They give zero info on what the kids are actually doing.

So tell me, you want to put the onus on the parents? OK, then require any app used by kids to make all messages available to parents, and forbid disappearing messages.

You don't want to do that? Well, then don't say: "parents you watch them".

You can't simultaneously make something someone else's responsibility, and also make it impossible for them to do it.

> Despite the fact that my algorithms course was ostensibly about learning how to come up with efficient solutions to various problems

The usual advanced undergraduate / graduate level algorithms class is not supposed to teach you that. It's an introductory class to various techniques used in algorithm design and analysis, beyond those included in the undergraduate algorithms and data structures class.

Core algorithms classes then assume familiarity with those techniques. One of those core classes may be algorithm engineering, if your CS department has someone interested in the topic. And if the department assumes that there are enough students interested in it – the overlap between people interested in algorithms and software is often surprisingly small.

That isn't what "highly" regulated is. Things start getting highly regulated when the government sets what prices you can charge, who you are allowed to do business with, etc.

For example, I'm in the software business. There aren't any regulations on it.

I don't but I think they're mostly average people. Wealthy people are too rare to matter.

Less true for art museums and things because wealthy people can get more out of their donations, like their name on stuff and cool party invitations.
I expect if it were to happen there would be a very large outcry (in Utah at a minimum) and the law would be changed/repealed quickly.

It would be a VERY interesting natural experiment if it stayed in effect. People would find ways back on, but not everyone would be willing to go through the hoops. What would that do in even a month or two?
All these numbers are completely riddled with various kinds of biases and confounders, not the least of which is that someone who gets an mRNA shot is much more likely to socially isolate themselves in an effort to avoid infection.
For those that are uninitiated, Wittgenstein's Ladder is essentially the conclusion of his extreme logical positivist view of language specifically, but reality more generally; it's kind of far out, so we don't really have a term for it, but it's probably something like "materialist positivism" or "logical realism†." It's extremely fringe and essentially does away with all metaphysics, which is very problematic because we have a lot of metaphysical problems in philosophy. Even if we ignore the more "pedestrian" moral quandaries, we'll quickly need to deal with things like the metaphysics of causation[1] or modality[2].

Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of Wittgenstein at all (I wish he were less studied in universities), and I think his Tractatus is nonsense (though not because I'm climbing his ladder) and an abject failure.

Announcing it damaged their reputation. Reversing doesn't undo that (because there's always the chance they'll do it again), but now they don't even have the benefit of not having to host so many images.
This alone should be grounds for a class action lawsuit. It’s ridiculous they do this in an obviously automated way. If they want to raise the bar on requirements of “submitting a claim “ that’s fine, our healthcare admins can figure it out. But patients should be allowed to be dragged through the mud like this.
Millions of years? If I recall, our societies are quiet a bit younger than that, several hundred thousand sure, but millions?

Anthropologists have been arguing for quite some time that society wasn't "all that bad" here and there over the last twenty thousand years or so. Bad sometimes in some places certainly, but for many, there was general communal comfort and a large degree of sharing resources. As recently in the last 500 years, it was written with a note of surprise by European settlers in north America that the indigenous population never let someone go hungry or homeless.

Recommend reading some David graeber, his latest book is a phenomenal insight on new archaeological findings as well as bad assumptions anthropologists have made in the past.
Even while I agree, the analogy to music is fairly consistent, as anyone can eventually bang out the notes, but the performance is going to be the effect of the practice. In the meditation case, anyone can say they are enlightened and maybe do some yoga poses, but their performance in life is going to be the effect of the practice as well.

Conspicuously, there is no honorary enlightenment either.

No, even by the time of Delta it was clear the efficacy against infection was marginal at best. The CDC acknowledged this in its Provincetown study in late July 2021 and recommended the reimposition of mask mandates as a result.
It only strikes me that we are trying so hard to know the unknowable.

Infinite essentially mean unknown. How could you possible compare the size of two unknowns?

You just can’t, but we want to be able to reduce something infinite/unknowable, to a finite symbol that we can use in our limited language.

Edit: for sibling comment -> how would you know the cardinality of a set without counting it? And if you have two infinite sets, how would you ever finish counting them to determine their cardinality and compare them?

It doesn’t even make sense to talk about the cardinality of an infinite set, infinity is not a number.

We pretend that the infinity symbol can somehow magically summarize and quantize something that is essentially unknowable.

The infinity symbol doesn’t make something magically finite.

The cardinality of an infinite set is unknowable. It is not “infinity”.
True. The influencers are using AI to sell themselves. The amount of human attention which goes into doing a semi repeatable task will surely go down with AI but not so much as they claim to churn out apps in seconds vs hours/minutes with a real developer.

Also, I have not seen any insight level help from GPT. It just seems like it has a good recall for everything it has seen. And prompt engineering takes away the mental work away from the problem and more about what the model knows.

First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real creativity.

Then they came for the engineers, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real reasoning.

Then they came for the sales folks, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real human connection.

Then they came for the executives and politicians, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real leadership.

Then they came for me, and I did not speak out—because I was just grateful to have any job at all, even one doing manual labor under the ceaseless watch of glorified chatbot. At least Netflix can create any movie that I or my AI girlfriend ask for, so that's cool I guess.

For sure. I recommend anyone in business for themselves productize and build moats.

I still work about the same hours, though. AI has just raised the level of abstraction. Less time is spent on looking up specific syntax and more on reviewing, iterating, testing, architecting.
Sorry this happened to you, these kind of problems tend to be vague and difficult to patch up.

I've advocated for over a decade as a systems engineer not to set system time to anything other than UTC. Not all languages or applications compensate for DST very well, and depending on your applications relationship with time it's a non-trivial problem to solve. What is far more trivial to do is to ship logs to a log server and let the UI of the log server translate time for the viewer of the logs. Almost every time I have argued with executives, managers, and SWEs without SE experience and lost something unexplainable and detrimental happens around DST.

Edit:

For the uninitiated I'll try to paint a clearer picture. All system time in Linux is tracked in seconds past Jan 1, 1970. The problem occurs in the translation between UTC and local time, which is handled by a library/package/module in your application. If your application is time sensitive and not looking for a literal time traveling event then things can get real weird, real fast. If there is a bug in that library/package/module things will also get real weird, real fast.
I'm not scared of it. It's unnecessary excessive complexity that we have foisted onto ourselves. It has caused countless bugs and will most likely cause countless more before I die. Show me the software that copes with timezone changes at runtime.

Well, what is your plan? We can’t pretend that letting teen suicide jump 29%, and having 1 in 5 teens now having severe depression, is an issue that parents should be solely responsible for solving.

Perhaps I was a little dramatic, but my impression is today's AI is not well suited for this task. What I laid out is slightly above my expectations for a human who does the job for me today (yes, my bar is fairly high) and the point is I won't get excited until the shiny new tech you want to replace that human with does a better job than they do.

In the meantime I'd prefer not to be subjected to served-from-a-can, machine-generated content in the code I'm trying to grok.
> Most Americans have insurance. You can't ignore real data. Are you from the US?

If you're judging the quality of healthcare based on whether people from the US have insurance or do not have insurance it shows that you're fundamentally failing to understand the type of problem the article is discussing, which in this case is specifically that insurance is broken and insurance companies will refuse to pay for treatment even when people have insurance. The people having Cigna refuse to pay for medical treatments as in the article obviously have insurance or they wouldn't be dealing with Cigna in the first place, so I'm not sure how "real data" on the percentage of americans who are insured could possibly refute that.

> Compared to the rest of the world? It is not.

Yes, US healthcare providers are capable of providing very good care. However, it doesn't matter if the US healthcare providers theoretically provide the best treatment in the world if that treatment is now so expensive and the insurance system is now so broken that a huge percentage of the people can't afford medical treatment even with health insurance (e.g. most americans on bronze/silver health insurance plans).

I think this is something that gets missed in a lot of statistics.

The reality is that once you factor in the insurance system, and not just healthcare providers, the US healthcare system does not look so great anymore for average americans.
And is that bad or something? If you want to use a harmful product (and make no mistake social apps are harmful), then being careful about who is using it is a good idea.
My challenge has been getting the user to mention their timezone when providing a local time. I can usually guess within a couple of hours, and then find logs that confirm it.

I’m a pilot and this is… a vast oversimplification. Jet aircraft are significantly more efficient at higher speeds and at higher altitudes precisely because there’s less drag up there and the engines can operate more efficiently. They are wildly inefficient when low and slow.

A lot of the assumptions people make about efficiency don’t hold water in aerospace. There are no laws of physics preventing supersonic aircraft from being efficient provided they can fly high enough and we figure out how to build better engines.
