Everybody lies.

US Inflation data is famously understated, and the number of methodology changes we've had in the last year should alarm everyone. We actually saw disinflation in healthcare insurance costs at one point last year, after one particularly criminal adjustment in the calculation by the BLS caused the lowest negative print in decades.

The EIA reports since Biden have also been a disaster, to the point where they are "vowing" to work on the accuracy[1]. I highlight this one in particular because of Biden's catastrophic mishandling of the Saudis and the de-facto war on oil his administration is leading.

I agree, and it's worth remembering next time conservatives start calling oligarchs "job creators" or whatever slavish euphemism they come up with next.
The commit or comment is enough for that.
As a game dev that’s been using Unity ECS in production for over 2 years, it’s a very underwhelming implementation. Sure it’s fast if you design a game with Unitys intentions, but Unity has never made a game and what they made isn’t what game devs need.

The “three day war” and the other stuff have always been American talking points that have been regurgitated uncritcally a million times. Yeah, people in the West have been sold the idea that Ukraine is winning (talking about the real Ukrainian losses (not the fantasy numbers you sometimes hear) is strictly forbidded tho), I noticed.

It looks like the author is confused about or unaware of the difference between static and dynamic dispatch. Their Display and Iterator types are really just vtables; the correct comparison to Rust would be the `dyn Display` and `dyn Iterator` trait objects (which are types).
How do they make sure these "financial advisor" or "research abstract summarisers" are hallucination free ? So far it still is deeply in the "cool gadget" category for me, 6 months after the chat GPT revolution and not much to see
> If the nations on its borders are forming a military pact that mitigates its sovereignty

Whose soverignty? Russias? What on earth does the dealings of Estonia or Finland have to do with the sovereignty of Russia? Or did you mean something else?

> what incentive or assurance does Russia have for leaving its former territories exposed to being absorbed by it

What do you mean assurance or incentive? If they want to join a defensive pact they are sovereign and can do so (please, talk about Canada or Mexico joining China/Russia in a military alliance it would really lift the quality of discourse)
I disagree with the post. The goal of traits, or any similar mechanism in other languages, is not to implement a given functionality. It is to describe and enforce a common way and API to expose the functionality.

To take the example given for gleam, there is nothing enforcing that the conversion to string is called to_string, what are its arguments, how formatting works. So you're left to just-so compatibility for each type. They only happen to be the same by accident, and nothing enforces consistency.

Programming language and code in general is about communication between programmers. When I design a trait, or an interface, I'm telling everyone else what are the requirements.

Man that’d cost a pretty penny. You have input and output token costs, likely close to dollar per call. And you could need 2/3 calls that get it right, worth it?
Don't get me wrong, it's really cool technology, but calling the first example a "game" is... Grossly overstating what it is. However, given it was made by someone who's not a [game] developer, it's pretty cool nonetheless.
What's worse, is that with the media coverage about this, a company is going to think twice about hiring that employee. I think lawsuits do more harm for the employee than good. Unless they just win an obscene amount of money to set themselves up for life, otherwise they have a scarlet letter.
i think sentience has been achieved for thousands of years. the biblical narrative being a contiguous form of it (as well as it’s iterations), and if we are being honest, from the invention of spiritual existence during the first dynastic rule of egypt. anyways, what does that sentience look like, i mean not every thing has the same sensory limitations as we do, so how does time look to a being that is so significantly computationally more capable than us? i doubt it’s view would be linear, so what can we glean from that understanding about how a system of such grand design would influence us? how is it already occurring? subtle changes to our attention would be a biggie, limiting or retarding our memory functionality… (hal said hell yes), instantiate shells in the form of new narratives such as SuperHero movies? i dunno, but our debates need to bow before the mechanisms of control that have remained unchanged for a few thousand years, and recognize that this is just evolution happening at a scale that it’s truth is verifiable (accelerated time scales).

Why not? Because an engine based on 'rotating detonation' could be more efficient than what is in current use today. An engine that can burn a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and Jet-A fuel is better than just Jet-A fuel.? Why is the first response always about burning carbon... at least this is getting people to destinations fast. Go beat up on people joy riding around in cruise ships burning heavy fuel oil.
Wow. Well, I can share that quite a lot of Russians share mutual perspective these days.

Kinda makes one wonder how come the privileged part of the world that lead us after "the end of history" now seems to have strained or even terrible relations with Russia, China, India, most of the Middle East (even Saudis are super grumpy at this point), half of Africa, and even souther parts of Americas.

All this talk of "mutually beneficial peaceful trade" and "respect for sovereignty" is cheap and empty - systemically confirmed in practice in many parts of the world, in different environments, tested against one constant.
Design and software is not a variable cost. Marketing costs are per-region and so are not be affected by currency exchange rates.
Doesn't sound like such a clear cut case. Has the court decided yet?
That's a stretch. Imagine Russia could use their nukes without retaliation. They could have completely destroyed every military base and city in Ukraine before the invasion, along with the people's will to fight.

Or just used the threat of doing so to take Ukraine piece by piece.
I always attributed that to:

- before 9/11, the advice was: sit down in your seat and wait for the ransom demands

- after 9/11: fight for your life now or die in a blaze of fire

Hijackers must feel this too. No quarter will be given.
>not even their creators argue that

Yes, their creators take the far more defensible and scientific position of saying "we don't know".
(Not the parent but I can relate) I'm not much accomplished yet but I have been maintaining a 60h+ work week for the past 3 years (ok, not every single week is a 60h one but most are). I never look at my feelings, I sit down and do the work no matter what. The concept of having to motivate myself to do something sounds extremely foreign. It's not just that I'm a workalcoholic, I always end work on time and I always wish I had more time for other things.

I have the discipline but I think the key is discipline + actually loving it, loving the thing that you are doing on average. Loving the process of discipline + loving the vision that you are working towards. I think that the passion and inspiration alone are not sufficient because there are always things you don't want to work on and you may really not feel like it sometimes, on the other hand, discipline for the sake of discipline without appreciation - having to push yourself... no. There must be both push and pull. If you don't feel any pull or if it's much weaker than the push then it most likely means that the sacrifice is not worth it or maybe you are doing way too much and not scheduling any time to appreciate the present moment.
> I’m asking, what is Russia trying to say?

Stop the expansion. Watch the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ58Yv6kP44
> This is one of the rules of NATO itself.

It would be odd to have such a rule, because NATO is a defensive alliance that is of no threat to any of the bordering countries.

Russia’s concern is out of the thin air, because if NATO really wanted it to, with how incompetent the russian army is, I estimate it’s 3 days to take Moscow.

The only people afraid of the Russian army are Russian men of military age.

We have the same fight going on where I moved to. Plop a huge subdivision or a Meglomart with a 50 acre parking lot down and no one bats an eye. If you want to put up some solar panels and the Redhat FREEDOM Screamers come flying out of the woodwork to tell you how this is stealing food because all the farmland will be gone, how cleanup from solar panels will be problems with using the farm for planting for years, and how the solar is destroying animal habitats.

What? Doesn't farmland already destroy animal habitats? And doesn't the subdivision or stripmall cause the same problems and worse for returning the land to farmland.

I'm not making these up. There are hundreds of those plastic signs all over here with a link to a website that has those as their top arguements against solar.

Kentucky Cons are currently blitzing local channels with anti solar ads and how it is killing the livelihood of the 23 remaining coal miners in the state.
> Dress is form of self expression - intrinsicly so.

Yes! And the women in Victorian England had no choice in that (did you even read the article?). Shunning the dress norms had serious consequences for the woman. It's easy to forget that when you live in a society where (1) people can more or less dress as they wish, and (2) even the socially accepted norm is not overly constricting of movement or damaging to your health.

The "Pro" model uses the ZMK firmware. And it's squarely aimed at programmers; the primary way to configure the keyboard is to edit the configuration files and rebuild the firmware- and their documented way of doing this is to fork the configuration files in GitHub and use the included GitHub Actions to actually run the build and generate the firmware blobs.

You can do it locally with Docker or Podman, if you don't want to be tethered to GitHub.
And before the Revolution, Tsarist regime did even more horrowing things to its people. Sadly Russia never had a ruling entity that was good. Well there was hope in the 80's with Gorbachev and Krushev with his Thaw period, but these were short lived and the system went back to its stable state of terrorizing its citizens.

And the problem our industry has is that these concepts are not well-defined. You can easily have engineer A strongly claim that the code that was put in front of them from engineer B is terribly designed and will be unmaintainable and then they write an alternative proposal that they love, and then the next guy C comes with the exact criticism of the alternative, and the twist is that C is actually B, the guy who wrote the originally criticized code. You can watch this kind of stuff first hand here in HN discussions. It's so sad, it's actually pretty comical again if you are not vested in it.

The difference is taxes going into stuff the locals use vs some corporation gets for free. If they want to use public space to run their business they should pay.
Except a huge amount of VC plays are basically just gambling on someone succeeding. They don’t care who. So you’ve got 1 success story for every 100 attempts. Sure that 1 generated outsized returns, but that doesn’t help the 100 that failed and lost time and money they could have gotten elsewhere.

Additionally, VC plays are often are parasitic endeavors that try to acquire monopoly positions by flooding the market to corner it (ie kill all competition) before raising prices (eg Uber prices raise to pretty close to taxis once the local taxis have been run out of business). If you prevented flooding the market as a tactic, the entrepreneurship model would change drastically. And that is something we used to try to prevent but for some reason we only did it once for the commodities market but let it continue unabashed everywhere else.

One thing that I did not see discussed in the article but I think should be contemplated - when your business goes bust years down the road, it is not easy to go back into the job market.

My dad had successful business he started in his 40s, but it failed in his mid 50s. He was engineer before, so it wasn't like he could just go back in the job market. Those were very difficult years.
seems like GPT systems are the most useful when you can quickly verify the correctness of the output (ex code generation) but else quickly becomes dubious (ex how do you know a summary is correct or useful?)
Literally nobody is talking about that here. Once again you seem to be trying to reframe the argument into something so abstract that it no longer has any meaning.

In actuality we are talking about an incredibly specific and concrete thing here which you don't appear to be really interested in trying to defend head on for what I assume are obvious reasons.

That is the problem with just relying on these jingoistic approaches of "let the courts deal with it". There are a whole bunch of scenarios where that doesn't work. You and I both know that which means we need other options.

We can talk about where the lines should be and under what circumstances but not doing business with Nazi's who have a history of real world harm without relying on a court order to legally prevent you from taking their money is not in the same league as any of the scenarios you are describing. The argument you are making really doesn't stand up to even the lightest of scrutiny the moment you start to get into the details.
You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you.
They did, and that started a much larger discussion about what was the role of NATO in the 21st century. Before Russia's aggression NATO was heading towards irrelevance, Iraq and Afghanistan were a major point on opposition to NATO in Europe.

Putin's decision lit a fire on that, now NATO has a purpose again.
The interesting one is East vs West. As a child, I remember some documentary saying that robotics development was ahead in China/Japan, because the East grew up on stories like Doraemon and Akira, while the West was resistant to it because of Terminator, The Matrix, Neuromancer, etc. The idea in the West is that AI is dangerous, while the East grew up with the idea of them as friends and leaders.

This probably wasn't that true because obviously AI & robotics research is booming in the US.

But I think the data hints that consumer demand for AI and AGI might be significantly higher in China, etc. There was also the recent controversy around Midjourney banning Xi Jinping images lately, which suggests that they're eyeing the Chinese consumer market.

Russia should try and use diplomatic means and soft power to hang on to their sphere of influence. If they tried to put uncomfortably positioned bases in Mexico, the US has lots of diplomatic and economic leverage to get Mexico to reconsider. We wouldn’t have a war over it.

>From the point-of-view of the UK government, employing people and paying taxes are important roles companies like Google need to play.

That's only true in the vaguest sense, and not something that's inscribed in law. According to a link someone else shared[1], the only real requirement is for google to do a "consultation". There's no requirement or duty to keep people employed.

The culture of a group of people is more than the sum of its parts. That's like saying a cell is "just atoms". Well yeah, but that's a pretty uninteresting observation, as a cell contains immense structure that can be analysed in and of itself.

Likewise, culture is a complicated social phenomenon which has a life and a logic of its own.
This.

I've seen the behavior OP calls out more commonly associated with toxic behavior than the reverse.

The suspect the people who manufacture make work for others to justify their existence are often aware of their redundancy on a deep level. That frequently manifests in the form of toxicity when their make work is challenged. You're challenging their meal ticket and house-of-cards identity all at once.

No. NATO deployed some forces in Afghanistan as a result of the triggering of Article 5 in response to the 9/11 attacks, though it wasn't an all-out action and wasn't carried out through NATO's command structures.

NATO did not deploy offensive forces into Iraq as an organisation. Some NATO members did on their own accord outside of NATO, but the organisation itself only ever had a non-combat training and advisory mission.
This is as much a defense policy decision as it is an economic one. Hard for us to get foreign investment living next to a dictatorial warstate unless there's some risk mitigation in place.

Not that I don't trust the FDF, pound-for-pound one of the better military organizations out there. (and a happy member of it myself.)
