In that scenario, it's often because the manager has someone breathing down his neck too, so you have bad communication and high stress all up and down the org chart. But sometimes the manager is the source of his own stress and all you can do is manage that.
I get the authors criticisms of other cults, but he had to dispense with the competence and the real of his arena man strawman first. The whole point of nihilism is you can't argue with it because once you've accepted the burden of proof of arguing against literally, nothing, there's no resolution. It's tedious, and I think in this case the author is yet another intellectual predator trying to mislead the lost and calling it enlightenment. History will remember him as a good critic.
are you saying the employee should propose a plan of action to control their boss?

What determines capacity isn't transparent.

Also, yes it may get cheaper, but that’s not a given, if it doesn’t, what happens then?
Many of the rural areas in my state still use AM radio, schools, community centers, small towns, and the farming migrant workers. The talk channels that report on the schools and community are AM based, not FM.

But I've switched to streaming the AM/FM, but having the AM radio is still used.

No real reason to drop AM except as a cost cutting feature, filters already exist for EV cars, and aftermarket radios work with AM without issue proving Ford is a liar.

I still buy phones with sdcard and headphone jack, at least cars I can upgrade the radio. But why buy a new car if its crippled and marked up, better buy used at this point.
This story will get plenty of follow-up and extraneous discussion but I do want to show some appreciation for the strength of this investigative journalism by Mazzetti, Bergman, and the Times.

Hopefully Biden brings the hammer down and WhatsApp v. NSO wraps up soon to put the final nail in the coffin.
Are these properties 'cheap' because of they can be stolen easily by okupas?
I suspect the term "priest" was used metaphorically.
It describes anyone who assumes the authority of God's Voice.
If granted, this authority is absolute, brooks no disagreement.
It leaves no room for "pluralism". There is one right, what I say. One wrong, what I say.
The priest silences dissent, calls it heresy.
Most terrifyingly, if the group agrees that the priest has this authority, then he does.

I'm glad there are good priests - I'm sure most of them are fine.
But the role itself has a critical flaw.
The bloody history of every church demonstrates what happen when men speak for God and are believed.
I wish there was a place where kind and caring people could be supported in their efforts to support the community, in general.
Because that's the essence of their goodness, not being a priest. IMHO.
That's an incredibly bad argument because these are the same computer the NSA and the US govenrment itself uses and they are exposing themselves. Not to mention all the US company who are subject to intellectual property theft and so on.
But this is exactly where our environment differs profoundly from the ancestral one: most of us live in a society closed over resource production. We still need food and other means to survive, but now there are no freely accessible sources of them - we're all gating access to resources for each other. Which means I always have to do someone's bidding if I want to live. I have some choice of whose bidding I'll do, but this means that I'll eventually reach a point where changing the person whose bidding I do is less effective than just doing more for the current one.
Going off of the C17 numbering,

4/7: "A conforming program is one that is acceptable to a conforming implementation."

This definition has no restrictions regarding runtime requirements, unlike for strictly conforming programs.

5/1: "An implementation translates C source files and executes C programs in two data-processing-system environments, which will be called the translation environment and the execution environment in this International Standard. Their characteristics define and constrain the results of executing conforming C programs constructed according to the syntactic and semantic rules for conforming implementations."

So clause 5 binds all "conforming C programs constructed according to the syntactic and semantic rules for conforming implementations", not just strictly conforming programs.

Now, 4/3: "A program that is correct in all other aspects, operating on correct data, containing unspecified behavior shall be a correct program and act in accordance with 5.1.2.3."

We can interpret this as saying that "a program that is correct in all other aspects... containing unspecified behavior" is "constructed according to the syntactic and semantic rules for conforming implementations" even if it only works when "operating on correct data".

From there, it does not seem very difficult to conclude that in general, a conforming program which contains fully specified behavior, assuming it operates on correct data, is also "constructed according to the syntactic and semantic rules for conforming implementations", and is therefore bound by clause 5. If we were to instead take the negation of this conclusion, that a program is not bound by clause 5 if any possible input data causes it to violate a runtime requirement, then the wording of 4/3 would not make any sense.

(In other words, every conforming program has a corresponding set of "correct input data", and it is correct and bound by clause 5 if it does not violate any runtime requirements when given any input data within that set. A program is only incorrect if that set is empty, i.e., the UB is unconditional.)

---

Meanwhile, I suppose you're looking at C++17. The note in [intro.execution]/4 is non-normative, and all of the normative language (e.g., on the very next paragraph) attaches runtime UB to the execution as a function of the input data, not the pure program.

[intro.compliance]/(2.1) and its (non-normative) footnote further clarify the distinction, stating, "If a program contains no violations of the rules in this International Standard, a conforming implementation shall, within its resource limits, accept and correctly execute that program.... 'Correct execution' can include undefined behavior, depending on the data being processed; see 1.3 and 1.9." This suggests that a program that executes undefined operations does not necessarily contain any rule violations.

The first real programming language I had sunk my teeth into. The old days of programming my own Tetris and battlesnake on a dos display. Although I had learned some favour of basic before that but Pascal and later Delphi were what got me started
40 years ago, I bought a Mac and my girlfriend bought a PC. She said of my mac "what a cute toy!" while hers was a "serious computer". It is incredible that 40 years later, one can have the same conversation!
What you said is completely false. There's nothing to argue against.

You're emotional. Take a rest.
I recently deleted my Windows partition, but I recall how after an update it blocked me from login in until it could tell me I really should try out Office 365, informed me Edge is better for me than whatever browser I was using (Firefox) and asked me for a Microsoft account.
That is the whole point of the article.

Based on their old Windows skills and experience (and having no Linux experience?), they thought they knew what they were going to get with a newer Windows install. The article is all about how shocked they were when they didn't get what they were expecting. I suspect they'll be trying out a Linux distro now though...
Unfortunately this suffers from the same effect as the descriptions. I would say a solid 7 times out of 10 everything works as expected, but sometimes it seems the model goes down another path and ignores most instructions.

I would claim that using examples do improve its chances, but it is still too random to assume the edits were what improved the response, or whether it just happened to be a lucky roll of the dice.
The sentiment has been (up until this point?) that Starlink needs to lower costs for the customers, not increase them, as otherwise the customer base will remain as tiny as it currently is. Last I remember, the cost was ~500 USD + the monthly fee, I wonder how many in a rural environment are ready to pony that up for a measly connection. Maybe not difficult for live-on-a-farm-software-developers, but what about the rest of the spare population?
"I hope that the base models will never be released to the general population."

ah yeah man, lets have big corps and govt entities be the only people in control of them, because they're SOOOO good at caring for people under them.

Absolutely baffling POV.
This is really impressive. I wonder why there were no initial comments?

To others who stumble upon this, it is a 10-minute sci-fi short film by Hashem Al-Ghaili with music by Tiago Nugent that was created almost entirely with AI using Bright Pen (https://www.brightpen.ai) and published last Thursday, March 30, 2023.

The most impressive thing to me was how easily the story threaded a political needle and skewered everyone. The end brought tears to my eyes.
What if correct is more than you can actually give?
How is that related with what we are discussing here?

We are talking about a thing that was made 3500 years ago. Who is its rightful owner?

It's a completely different situation than stealing from someone who is alive. How in the world do these things seem similar to you?

That's a strange interpretation of a new upstart utility pricing itself out of competition.

As another poster said, just wrap it in whatever color you want. Costs start around 2500$, but that is far cheaper than a paint job and you can get any color you want, without worry about resale value. Personally, i like a matte finish.. something unheard of on production cars. Wrap is an easy way to the effect without repainting.
> Glucose is transported in intestines via a glucose-sodium antiporter protein. Maybe we can find a drug that blocks this and you can eat as much sugar as you want! (Turns out you’ll have uncontrolled diarrhea if you do).

Uncontrolled diarrhea for how long?

I'd pay for a pill that would do similar to what you describe but for pizza instead of sugar if the uncontrolled diarrhea was only for a few hours.

I think it probably should be more expensive to live off the beaten path.

The per-capita CO2 consumption of people who rely on cars for everything is far higher than for people who can walk places or take public transport, and those environmental costs aren't passed on effectively to consumers.
That's just a bunch of FUD to keep you on their leash. Security is always an excuse. If you don't do things like downloading and running random executables or letting every site you visit run JS by default, you've already reduced your attack surface to the point of being a non-issue unless you're being specifically targeted. In fact W11 probably has more insecure shit you didn't know about yet.

As much as I also use Linux and advocate its benefits, there's a huge amount of software that still doesn't work right there (even with WINE.)
> There is no way to debug these models, there is no way to systematically fix your prompts. It is therefore completely guesswork on what words in what orders might produce results closer to what your stakeholders expect.

I think if you spend some more time with these models, or any similar model where you have X input > Y output, you notice that you can in fact "debug" those as well, without knowing 100% of the internals. Some fixes are better than others. There are better and more reliable ways to steer these models, compared to other ways. It is not 100% guesswork, some people are better at it than others.
That’s the way things seem to be going in cars. The simple and uncomplicated analog systems of the past are being replaced with more complicated electronic versions. The benefits are there but they come along with new fail modes that are harder to fix.
I don't think it's so much dealing with resource constraints that made it more exciting, but the fact that you were often originating things, rather than (haphazardly) stitching together exisiting, known works of others. It's always more exciting to create something from scratch rather than "just add water and stir" sorta thing.

[edit to add:] Although, another part of having to understand memory usage, for example, meant that you really had to understand the fundamental building materials you were working with. Where as now, no one has the man hours to really understand the stack of tens of thousands of lines of node shit you have to glue together to do some basic task.. you feel more excited when you are really mastering the materials, I think..
The font thing in particular is interesting because Firefox is actually generally ahead of Chrome when it comes to most things related to fonts

I first learned programming in the early 80s, but never took it too seriously until the mid 2000s. I first learned Python at a time when I thought I'd do most of my serious work in Java.

That was a time when Python was rarely someone's first language. People would say, "Try Python, your programs will be about a third as long as they are now!" I was skeptical, but holy heck those people were right.

I am academic enough to enjoy the intellectual challenge of being conscious of memory usage. But when you had to pay attention to it in every project, it was not always fun. It was really fun to use Python and forget about memory for a while. I built many projects in Python that I probably wouldn't have made time for in Java.

I really enjoy programming these days, where you can forget about memory until you have a reason to optimize. Then when you do need to optimize, you can profile your code with fantastic tools, reason about memory enough to get things working efficiently again, and move on with the project. I really enjoy hopping back and forth between focus on a larger project, and focus on the inner workings of a project.

I think we're seeing the same kind of fundamental change with GPT-assisted programming. There's a whole generation starting to use these tools right now who will ask a question on a 2040s version of HN, "Was programming more interesting when correct syntax was a concern?"
I had that laptop. That generation of Macs had thermal issues.

Generation before and after are fine. I'm still happily using a 2012 iMac. No thermal issues.
I find a charge of nihilism with no coherent support rather tedious. At worst this is a bad take. Good heavens, why would a nihilist even bother writing such a piece? The author struck me as someone genuinely concerned about a pattern he's seeing in public discourse, a kind of "grand unified theory" of why things feel like they are falling apart. The goal being, I would assume, to remove the people tearing the zeitgeist apart from the public sphere.

If anything, the nihilist is you, for disparaging a noble goal.
It is weak then. My defense mechanism is Borg. It adapts to my music and assimilates it. Resistance is futile.

If Starship works out (and that's admittedly a big if), the price of launching Starlink satellites will plummet and they'll be able to boost the number of satellites in orbit from ~4k to 30k, which will improve bandwidth and cut costs.

Also, if you think a $500 one-time fee is bad, try asking Comcast how much they'll charge for pulling 20 miles of fiber to your farm.
That's certainly an interesting question, that I don't have a direct answer to. But I'm curious about your thoughts on this:

> Do APIs need a more restrictive permissions model?

How would you make a distinction between my Python code making a request from your API endpoint, and a GPT-controlled Python program making the same request?
As usual, tech bros assume they know how to do everyone elses job better than they do. And if they aren't doing it the way the tech bro thinks it should work, it's because they are incompetent, not that there is some other factor not considered.

Yep, a manager makes or breaks role. Good manager manages up and acts as a bulkhead against pressure coming from above.
You can't get more Maddow-watching, Mueller report thumping than me, and ive never heard of this Hamilton 68 thing. This seems like some right wing echo chamber stuff. For a documenting of what Russia actually did, refer to the Mueller report.
I don't get it. Why not just use methane?

It can be synthesized easily, we already have infrastructure to ship it around the world (just ask Putin for his opinion on that), and it's much less hazardous than ammonia.

Moreover, it doesn't require plants to switch to green methane right away. It can be done gradually and in a distributed fashion.

Not much information here sadly, just an abstract that barely whets the appetite. That's ok, I suppose, but the cited paper's link, Optimal Transport Reconstruction of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, requires a subscription to read the paper. Which is a sad reminder that science is pay-walled in so many places that one wonders if the glorious, explosive rate of physical science growth at the turn of the century would have even occurred had such paywalls existed then.
Yeah they are pretty much the only non apple laptops I'll buy now.
All these talks about Starlink -> Remember it's a bandaid solution to your governments poor planning and infrastructure rollout of a core utility / service.

I say this as an Australian who watched one government plan a national rollout of fibre while another came in justifying most people don't need a connection better than 25/5 (based on usage data at the time) and went ahead and gutted the project.

We're now trying to undo the previous government's mess up of the original roll out post COVID world when everyone discovered remote work is a good idea for many.

Starlink's issue feels like history repeating itself with any service that becomes popular and goes too quickly into high demand
I think more often than not what they need is training - I tend to see this kind of thing in people who were promoted from IC to manager but never actually trained for the job.

A manager can definitely be helpful in this situation - a good one will be a barrier between you and whoever is above them, credibly telling those people that the best thing to do is leave you alone.
How much are current database implementations hamstrung by the standard file semantics? If it's a lot, I'm surprised there aren't more databases that just mount a bare disk or partition and do whatever they want with it. Or ship a special kernel module they can talk to that implements a better interface to the underlying block device?

Or does none of this really matter in a world of virtualized-everything where your "block device" is still ultimately hitting multiple layers of actually-just-being-a-file on its way to hardware?
