That's all? Good argument for RISP then.

I have to ask, what's the point of telling coders--presumably experienced ones if they are familiar with the concept of clean code--to try to get their code to work?

"Have you tried getting it working?"

(I really think the author must mean more than that, given the segue into testing one's tests? Why do that, if the thing is working? Or does one assume at all times, forever, that it's broken? That's not really mentioned)

So IMO the energy that goes into justifying the word probably isn't worth the carnival ride to the exciting world of status quo, so to speak.

"Correct" as a word has also had quite a social shadow side ever since Political Correctness became a thing at the very least. What it amounts to is de facto social resistance to the topic of whether one's creation is correct.

These days it's even more encumbered by the ongoing reconciliation dialog regarding "incorrect or just different?" E.g. divergence from pack or narrative in various ways being not so bad a thing by default anymore, especially insofar as the resulting support structure makes new room for new ideas that move past the worst parts of who we all used to be.

But that's just one aspect; telling a coder to check that their code is correct is also an awkward way to communicate on its face, especially if that's the first answer to "how can this model help me to be a better coder" for example. It's going to drop the author into literal mansplain territory for huge swaths of audience. It's like first principles, for people who don't know what code is meant to accomplish.

Just some ideas though.

So, where's the value of having this word in there? Does the model really need the word at all? If so, why?
Yes, I'm one of them.

[edit]

I just remembered that before I interviewed for my previous job, the recruiter mentioned that the company preferred to hire "more seasoned" engineers :-)
Yeah I do like the chip and feel it would be fantastic if it all worked according to original design intent.
Your example is idiotic because nobody is claiming that Coinbase is a scam (if they were the FBI would handle it, not the SEC), and because they are a licensed broker dealer. If particular crypto token is a scam, then they can say "you can't register token X because it's a scam." But they aren't saying that. They are just saying you can't register any tokens at all. If they can't be registered as securities, then how can they be securities?
R&D = "research and development"

If what you are doing is software development then obviously it is a development activity that falls within the meaning of development for purposes of tax laws.

Software programming that does not constitute development, such as bug fixing, is not subject to capitalization.
I mostly agree except one critical detail: LLMs are the low code/no code service. You literally tell them what you want and if they’re fine tuned on the problem domain, you’re all set. Microsoft demo’d the office 365 integration and if it works half as well in practice they’ll own the space as much as they have in 1997.
Congress was advised (government has all the data it wants when it wants; they don’t let things like this happen without modeling the political fallout). The goal is claw back cheap money they flooded the economy with, stick it to the avocado toast crowd they felt were not showing proper fealty to spoken political traditions.
It is not. Sorry to disappoint. :)

The "dualities" mentioned in the article are about two seemingly different quantum field theories actually being equivalent. See here, for example:

It has bothered me for a long time that we spend so much money on roads/transportation infrastructure and digging up rocks from the ground. I wish there would be more investment in developing expertise in knowledge-based industries.
Terrible analogy. fentanyl requires a prescription to get access to it. There are well defined processes for this.

Until the SEC defines what sort of requirements there are to purchase crypto (like the FDA has [0]), coinbase isn't doing anything illegal by selling it.

> In California, the local portion of collected sales tax goes to the location where the transaction took place, not the location of the customer. The corporation can designate where a given transaction has taken place, separate and apart from the underlying origin and destination realities.

I am sorry I'm just going of the linked article and I am sure I am missing some nuances here however it doesn't seem like what they've done is exactly illegal.

Alice and Bob agreeing the forge a document is illegal.

Bob agreeing to give Alice some money back that Bob collects from Alice's customers because otherwise Bob would get no money from Alice's customers doesn't appear to be illegal (yet). Of course Clara (the State) is free to change her positions on the matter.

For example set a limit on how much a city can charge sales tax.

> Tax Districts

The statewide tax rate is 7.25%. In most areas of California, local jurisdictions have added district taxes that increase the tax owed by a seller. Those district tax rates range from 0.10% to 1.00%. Some areas may have more than one district tax in effect. Sellers are required to report and pay the applicable district taxes for their taxable sales and purchases.

The whole point of individual liberty is to minimize the amount of authority our society reserves, and the what it dictates/moralizes to individuals; to decentralize power/authority as much as possible, and let people interact without intervention as long as they're nonviolent and non-fraudulent.

> we teach people to be good citizens

There is no one way of being a good citizen. This isn't the PRC.

> something, as a society, about "right" and "wrong?"

The whole point is that in a truly free society, this "something" is the strict minimum required for peaceful coexistence. Basically true crime and property law. These are morally justified in defence of fundamental liberty. Everything else should be out of the scope of government/society's authority. Telling people how to raise their children or what to think is absolutely not justified in defence of fundamental liberty, so it's out.

If you want to raise your kid in a forest school, who is anyone else to stop you? What is the source of moral authority that gives strangers more control over child rearing than parents?

If you want to sell your kidney to fuel your heroin habit or feed your children, who is anyone else to tell you that you can't? What is their source of moral authority over your kidney that supersedes your own?

> parents who have the responsibility to be involved in the educational process

This seems to be a common thought, but where is it codified? Who imposes this responsibility on parents? What is their source of moral authority to do so?

> Majority of people are still wary of microwaves, almost a century after it's invention...

I wouldn't be weary of microwaves per se, but rather their effectiveness in making food safer to eat.

Even if we think just about it heating the food up enough to be safe, I've found that it doesn't heat up evenly, especially in the center of a rotating microwave. I guess that's what you get with standing waves, but it makes me a bit concerned.

I did try looking up more information, but found nothing conclusive, sadly.
In the research setting, if a structural MRI is being acquired for anatomical research, they'll go below than by more than half. We acquire 2mm voxel structural MRIs since we only use it to help us find a warp from subject space to template space in fMRI analysis.
>I would rather solve fun problems than doing endless maintenance tasks.

Not everything in your career will be fun and exciting, and what you consider to be maintenance that you can ignore, some of us consider fundamentals that one ought to know to be considered a serious professional. Food for thought.

Edit: the real lesson is to avoid doing mission-critical, production work for customers without the requisite knowledge. This is hard to hear, but if people don't, they'll overestimate their abilities and get into trouble. It's fine to be junior, it's not fine to oversell your skills.
Group chats are now the most powerful force on the internet
I think this is actually a reddit, and all other similar platforms, problem. The issue is that there's good content, funny memes, insightful essays, whatever, that was submitted in the past. Some of it is no longer relevant and some of it your audience has already seen and would be bored by - but lots of it would be valuable to resurface now.

Because reddit focuses mainly on what's happening recently the good content of the past that might be relevant to a user today is buried. Reposters play a valuable role in resurfacing content. I think a better paradigm, though one I can't really imagine that well, would remove the need for reposters by automatically showing the content they would repost. Maybe a recommendation algorithm?
I am impressed by what's possible, thank you !
Oh this looks good. I've been using: https://sqlitebrowser.org/

> Its not like Apple is warehousing iphones somewhere waiting to be sold.

Apple in fact has multiple fulfillment warehouses in California and also about two years ago started using its retail stores as part of its fulfillment system for online orders.

Delivery times from China suck. (If it was selling goods from China, it would be required to collect and remit use tax on behalf of California customers rather than paying sales tax, and that's based on customer location, still not HQ or “wherever Apple gets the biggest kickback”.)
This isn't really users trying to make money from their skills.

This is a company taking user contributions as their own, aggregating it, and using their work for free to make money off it.

Every time I read one of these articles I start with the hopes that there will be some tangible, politically implementable, proposal to fix the issue(s) mentioned.

And every time I end up a bit disappointed since I know there are thousands of decent writers with broad exposure on the internet, magazines, newspapers, blogs, etc. yet the useful proposals aren't there.
It would appear there’s a coordinated effort to diminish software engineering salaries across the board. Is the plan to decimate the industry and ship it all to india and china?

You iterate on your plan after it is generated step by step. You go and edit the prompt chain you started working on step 1 on, and modify it to start working on step 2 (including any ideas or fixes you have identified while implementing step 1. Repeat until complete.

You can still absolutely hit the context limit, but you are far less likely to do so if you go back and start a new prompt chain for each different thought process you are going through with it.
I was at this point a few years back, and I am so happy having made the switch. Kubuntu is my strong recommendation for any switcher's first distro, but there's a lot of great options out there.
Network security devices are often deployed with high availability baked in. If one firewall appliance dies on a production system, it should have a peer to failover to.

I think "clean code" is essentially a meaningless phrase. It's a nebulous label that sounds like a thing we all want our code to be. But, much like living a "good life", what it actually means varies from person to person.

You wouldn’t need to ask the SEC that hypothetical because you can see their long history of bringing cases against “bread thieves” and (correctly) infer that they would bring a similar suit against you for the same or similar conduct. To the extent you think your hypothetical situation differs enough from the case history that you and your lawyers are genuinely unsure (or, more commonly, genuinely believe they wouldn’t charge you) then you can ask them via a No Action Letter which is basically a formal way of asking them “What would you do if I did XYZ?” The risk, of course, is that they’ll tell you they would view XYZ as a violation of federal securities laws and take action accordingly. There’s also the risk that they’ll change their mind— it’s not a promise or even a permanent reprieve. It’s just one “police officer” telling one person how they would hypothetically respond to that one fact pattern at that one moment in time. The next “officer” might take an entirely different view.
If some experimentator will destroy a half of his brain in such a way to not harm anything else - does he have a chance to keep being consciouness? That experiment kind of answers the question.
Reddit already derived their remuneration from making their site public. Now they want paid again?

Maybe they should lock their entire site behind a paywall.

My understanding is that most cardboard is from trees sustainably grown as a crop, rather than chopping down forests. If that's the case, should we think about not recycling cardboard, and instead bury more cardboard-carbon to cycle it back into the ground?

I would like very much to have the expiration date there. That would be great for managing home and fridge inventory. But space is still limited and UPC are usually part of the packaging that you would not print directly I think.
The data is useful for training later generation of AIs. Especially when the data is clearly from human and not other AIs.
Note that is how much is needed to produce an amount of energy equal to the current consumption of the entire world. It is to illustrate how abundant solar energy is.

That would be enough energy with current DAC technology to remove each year about 50% of the year's CO2 emissions. That would effectively knock us back to 1970 levels of net yearly emissions.

There are 5 subtropical deserts in the world with areas greater than 500 000 km^2. There's room in those 5 deserts for about 30 of those 500 000 km^2 solar farms. That's enough energy to in 1 year bring atmospheric CO2 down to around 320 PPM, which is around 1960 levels. 2 years to get back back to 1800 levels. 6 years to get to pre-industrial levels.

Of course it is possible that at that scale energy isn't the bottleneck for DAC. It may depend on other resources that cannot scale that well.

> No, coinbase is trying to trade unregulated securities

And why are those securities (if they are actually securities, which Gensler and the SEC can't even agree on), available to purchase and not regulated? Someone else in this thread just compared this to buying fentanyl. It isn't like there is the FDA giving out spec sheets on drugs.
PlanD: Plan9 from Containerspace
Saying a fact isn't deflection. I have been in post-mortems too, and accuracy is important.

If I work at a call center and there is an outage on a partner's PBX, then the summary will say "vendor PBX caused an outage". Part of that conversation will be "how to we mitigate the risks of a vendor PBX outage in the future", but the technical fact stands: Someone else's equipment failed.
It's great to see that there's now a term for the type of prompting, “generated knowledge”. I've been experimenting with this technique since the beginning, and I've noticed a significant improvement in version 4. The process involves outlining the project, creating tasks, and feeding them back to chatGPT as you progress. This approach has helped me complete projects that would have otherwise taken me much longer to finish.

It's also useful for creating practical tutorials. While there are plenty of tutorials available online, sometimes you need guidance on a specific set of technologies. By using generated knowledge prompts, you can get a good outline and tasks to help you understand how these technologies interact.

One thing to keep in mind is to avoid derailing the conversation with questions that are not relevant to the core tasks. If you get stuck on something and need to debug, it's best to use a separate conversation to avoid derailing the project's progress and the allucinations & forgettingness
Reddit should consider paying its moderators. Or employ moderators who don't use their vast unchecked powers to astroturf the site on behalf of shadowy companies.

"It will kind of even out over time, but it wacks new companies very hard."

Amortizing salaries seems really weird since they are recurring every year. After 5 years you can deduct your full salary expenses for that year. And after you have laid off everybody you can deduct for a few more years. Definitely makes it hard to hire a lot of people quickly if you don't have a ton of profit.
I keep on thinking about getting a gaming laptop running Windows in order to occasionally run some Win-only games and programs. This is probably the strongest factor preventing me from doing so.
You can do all of those in Linux. For example, here's how to set the background to a solid color. Open a terminal and type the following four commands:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'none'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#004000'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color '#306030'

Disclaimer: I work with startups as a consultant (not on optimizing their tax burden).

I know of two companies that used neotax and they were happy with the results.

What I don't know is if there is there anyone else in the space or some of the disadvantages of neotax. But... if you're an exec at a small -> medium size startup and you haven't dealt with this yet you could do a lot worse than giving these guys a call.
Well, it's not just their business. The SEC is telegraphing that they want to label all cryptocurrencies as securities. Without action from congress the entire technology is practically dead. No one is going to contribute to Ethereum if they have to log into a Schwab account to buy Ether.

The amount it could potentially "weaken" protection is likely negligible compared to how much it reduces the burden on the user (unless you consider the risk of having a single exposed password in plain text now means N machines are compromised instead of 1).

Anyway, I'd assume that each LUKS key slot has a unique plaintext salt to prevent a single rainbow table being useful to attack every key slot - the attacker would still have to build a unique rainbow table for each. As long as this is the case then the time to bruteforce a password should be the same no matter how many keyslots or machines use the same password.
It doesn’t matter what you label an expense. Accounting principles and regulations decide what category expenses fall into. That’s a major reason CAs exist, to ensure that your expenses are correctly categorized.

I am not an accountant, but I took 2 years of accounts, and learning to categorize expenses correctly was probably 75% of the classes.

There's a large range. Some things, like executive orders, can be instant. Some things, like leaning on congress to do something, might take longer to have measurable results. Some things, like the economy, regularly only affect the next person.

Oddly, the economy one seems to be the one that people vote for, with predictably stupid results. Also for some reason the economy only includes the gasoline refining industry, so make sure to switch careers so you can be a productive member of society!
Doesn't sound like a winning strategy long-term. From other comments it sounds like they are focusing entirely on customers that are already locked in with them. Eventually though, those customers are either going to go out of business as all businesses eventually do, or they are going to have to move on to other tools eventually.

If community edition is never updated, IDK how they can expect to grow or gain new customers. Thats why Visual Studio updates their community edition so often, because that helps people get familiar with the tools and companies are more likely to adopt them.

My wife and I am getting a refund this year. Getting beat up in the business by inflation, all costs going up, and cutting income in half is not a great tax strategy.

It is going to make me push tougher time code tracking onto my developers. Fixing a bug is different than feature work is different than legit R&D that might qualify for the actual R&D tax credit. As if software devs love doing time sheets (not!) :-/
