I understand your perspective here. I think everybody is rightly outraged and has their blood boiling when they hear stories about employers screwing over hires. I'm right there with you for wanting fairness and a good process.

What's the solution to improving job-seekers lives though? I think this is a case where the incentives are really counterintuitive and solutions that sound good are the wrong ones to make peoples' lives overall better.

On the surface, it sounds great to focus on a goal oriented outcome and give employees better protections and make firing harder. Giving Americans European style workers rights sounds great. But in practice, I think that just makes the hiring process a nightmare and makes it a risk for businesses to try and add anybody because there's always a chance that things don't work out for some reason. This is why there's so many stupid rounds of interviews and hoops to jump through for every position now.

I think we'd go a long way to making hiring much better by doing the counterintuitive thing: making firing much easier and reduce business risk as much as possible. Make the risk for businesses nearly zero for hiring anybody because it's so easy to reverse things if they don't work out, and all of a sudden the incentive for multiple round interview processes goes away because you'd want to rush and snatch up anybody you like and want to give a shot without risking losing them in a 6 week multi-round interview process.

Adding more risk for hiring IMO just increases how awful the hiring process will become.

Feel free to hate me for saying all of that. I know it sounds bad on the surface and I can't really articulate this theory in a way that's perfectly convincing. But this is one of those things that for some reason makes perfect sense to me and is a strong gut feeling as the correct thing. Also note that I'm a job seeker at the moment, and I'm saying all of the above through a self-interested lens of wanting to make the hiring process as simple as possible.
Yes, everything and everyone is, because they are humans.

But it doesn't matter; the government does not have any editorial control over NPR. That's what "state affiliated" means.

Because it's documenting the actual API in the standard library this even spells out that the result has "at least the specified capacity"

F14 is a linear map but I couldn't immediately find actual API documentation, however it should have the same property where if you ask for an F14 with specific capacity or you reserve enough capacity, that's an "at least" promise not an approximate one.
Past examples for me. College bribery scandal, Jusse Smollet, are two notable examples recently. The wealthy have the best lawyers who have connections to the judges, clerks, and everyone else in those courts. Indeed it is the wealthy that are able to afford to fight the government on even footing.

Supabase looks so good and keeps getting better. I started playing with it a couple months ago and could see myself loving it. One of my biggest problems right now is inertia: I’m comfortable with my existing tools (RDS, S3, lambda) and thinking about building a new product while also adding new tools is a tough pill to swallow. But the product sure makes a strong case!

Resumable uploads is a big deal for what I’m working on. But I’m also blocked by another issue, maybe a Supabase engineer on the thread can weight in. I’m using ffmpeg on AWS lambda to transcode media files after successful upload to S3. Lambda makes it easy to add ffmpeg binaries via lambda layers. Supabase functions don’t seem to provide any such option. Is there a way to solve this within Supabase as it exists now?

I’m also curious about function timeouts. If I have a file conversion that takes a couple minutes, is a Supabase function the right way to go?
I think the Dominoes have been falling for a while. I mostly quit the bird in November. I pop over once or twice a week these days to see what's happening and the degradation of content is very apparent. It may be because of departures or it may be because his constant weaponizing, sorry monetizing, of the algorithm but it's a lot quieter. A lot of the people I liked to follow from our industry are gone. It's a stark contrast to what the app was even a year ago. All while their CEO rebrands them as Titter and has people repaint signs.

The most recent gaff of exposing people "private" circles to the main feed (including private nudes) is probably going to create a new slew of legal issues.

Yes, in some sense the recent LLM results show us how big the Chinese room has to be: enough for 10^11 parameters. If the index cards Penrose imagined could hold one column of a matrix, it's around 10^8 cards. It's not surprising that people had poor intuitions for what was possible with that level of complexity.

The way you attack a specific target without alerting them (or at least making them suspicious) is to attack them indirectly.

The sibling comment above is an excellent example of why you might specifically target public infrastructure if you only really care about one person.
They have not. You are relying on a false headline that calls things like contracts, loans, zev credits from other automaters as ' government subsidies', which is obviously incorrect.

I'm the author of Deck.of.Cards, actually did the first version with Flash back in 2008. I started with Flash back in 1999, working in major ad agencies, and nowadays work as fullstack JS developer / entrepreneur.

I've also done https://car.js.org for example, and https://flanets.io – those as well just small side experiments..

But ya, i have to agree we used to see more creative stuff when Flash was still around, and that is sad.

It has allowed me to write a ~1200 line python program that tests power supplies, sending commands over our LAN to multiple instruments, serial commands the to supplies themselves, and stores all the readings and results in excel, all nicely formatted.

My knowledge of programming doesn't extend far beyond "the basic theory of programming" and it took about 3 days total. Without GPT4 it would probably have taken me 3 weeks. Nor would it have even of been attempted because the old tester "worked" with lots of manual intervention and frequent data losses (it ran on a winXP laptop from 2004, and relied on analog syncing signals between devices)

I think it's funny that all the Americans/Russians commenting here seem to believe there are only two public broadcasters in the world: RT, and NPR. And that Twitter was merely being unfair by not labeling NPR as "state affiliated." ;)

In fact, as I noted elsewhere in this thread, there are many (dozens?) of other public broadcasters around the world, most of which are not labeled as "state affiliated"--apparently in keeping with Twitter's (IMO reasonable) distinction between "state controlled" and "state funded/editorially independent."

Musk's eye of Sauron fell upon NPR--and only NPR, not Deutsche Welle or Radio France or CBC or BBC or any of the other respected independent public broadcasters--because he is, in the American sense, a right-wing nutjob with an ax to grind.

That Twitter would bend their principles--in either direction--to American domestic politics in such a transparent way should give users, especially those who are not interested in American culture wars, pause.

Well, they're presumably good for the lifetime of the product. Oh, it failed after 6 months? Tough... that was obviously the limit of its lifetime.
I'm guessing that manually feeding it a table at a time, with prompts tailored to the shapes you see in that table, is more effective than using a tool that tries to do that for you. Automated tools on top of GPT will be great when they work but they introduce a new communication joint where things can fail.

I get your point. But politicians are not lone individuals; they are effectively teams. They have all sorts of people thinking and speaking for them. This is about a topic where most of the anti-"woke" crowd will absolutely never given an answer, because to answer accurately about it gives the game away. For example, consider the example of Bethany Mandel, a person who wrote a whole anti-"woke" book, who somehow can't define it when asked: https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2023/03/16/anti-w...

But if we're being extremely precise, something you are apparently very excited about, you'll note that I didn't say that Ron DeSantis said those words. I said that DeSantis "defined" it that way. Given that this was one of his closest legal advisors speaking under oath to a judge, I think it is entirely correct to say that this is their true definition of "woke".

To add to that: if I'm purchasing a hugely expensive piece of capital equipment that my business depends on, it's nice that I can repair it myself when I have downtime, but if I need it up and running tomorrow, it's probably worth it to bring in the repair tech who does it day in, day out and can get it done a lot faster than me.

He was the chairman of the ICM structure committee. Having stats on how previous ICMs were organized is obviously useful to him. It's not "people who want this data" who ordered him to gather it (not that anyone could order Tao anything), he wanted the data to use it himself. He had the choice between sifting manually through dozens of webpages or automating the task.
Because the "government funded media" was a last minute save, the original "state affiliated media" is a false claim. Surely you grasp the difference between the two labels? The latter has corporate and editorial control in case you were unaware.
Whether CBC is actually neutral and non-partisan is something of a perennial political issue in Canada. I personally would say it is. A lot of the country disagrees. The opposition party wishes to cancel it. Opinion polls indicate the public believes it to be the most partisan major broadcaster in Canada.

Twitter will be wading into some very turbulent waters if they're going to start deciding which public broadcasters are "editorially independent" and which are not. Especially since there's no real consensus on the question in some of the countries which run them.

Why do you believe the contract with the customer isn’t legally enforceable? The new owners may just be choosing to break the law because they believe nobody will attempt to sue them over fifty bucks or whatever.

I guess you can decide to blame whoever you want, but the legal responsibility for upholding a contract lies with the company, and a change of ownership doesn’t change that from a legal perspective. It also doesn’t change or help anything to make wild assumptions about what the previous owners cared about. You simply cannot control what a new owner does with your company once you sell it, that’s what selling it means.

Using words like “lying” when people may have had every intention to meet the contract is just an exaggeratory drain on having reasonable conversation.
> Twitter themselves had a guide that explained why NPR and BBC were not labelled as such

> "State-financed media organizations with editorial independence, like the BBC in the UK or NPR in the US for example, are not defined as state-affiliated media for the purposes of this policy."

That explains the what, not the why. It says they aren't going to consider BBC and NPR as state-affiliated, but not why they aren't going to consider them as state-affiliated. "Editorial independence" is a meaningless superlative that cannot be empirically measured through any means available to twitter.

The "why" is because the "state affiliated" label was meant to be innuendo for "untrustworthy" and twitter, under previous management, did not consider NPR and BBC untrustworthy.
NPR seems plenty neutral to me. Neutral is not defined as the midpoint between our two main US political parties (as your username would suggest you know).

I always hear more than one side to each story, when they're long enough, and a good mix of brief stories about either side, positive and negative.
