Sure, but where do you stop?

I think a more interesting question is "what's the largest number usefully representable in 64 bits?".
I think you're confusing personal liberties and the right to privacy with the delicate balance of corporate regulation.

> If everyone’s forced to speak under the fear that anything they say can and will be used against them, a lot of communication won’t happen.

There's a very clear difference between our right to privacy as individuals, and how we communicate in our jobs as employees or contractors of a corporation.

The "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" statement is a fallacy when it comes to an individuals right to privacy. In contract, because corporations are not people and do not have the same rights as people, thus "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" applies to corporate email, chat, ect.
I just wish they would prohibit usage in public places like train stations or public parks.

It is hard when you have little kids and the air is filled with the smell.
One thing bilingualism has allowed me to do is differentiate better between the words and the things the words represent. This is mostly driven by words from different languages that translate to each other, not sharing all meanings of words. Of course I cannot think of an example right now that usefully illustrates how this leads to insights. It has explicitly come up in some philosophical discussions with friends and family who were going down a path intellectually that was driven more by the language than what it represents.

IMO, your programming language comparison is somewhat similar in that even knowing multiple, similar languages allows you to differentiate between the syntax and the concepts expressed by the syntax. E.g. different ways of constructing classes and objects in different languages will make you understand the core of OOP better, similarly to different ways to loop, etc.

5-minute video on the code behind Chart GPT
Created a 5-minute tutorial on how Chart GPT was created:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDfKFYVQjEM

This video will help you understand the code behind the GPT projects you see popping up on your feed daily, and how to create something like this yourself.
I have an RSS feed at the bottom. I have a fair number of articles planned on it in the next couple of months.
I am a lawyer. I guess it's technically true you (or more likely your company) can get sued if a manager lies about his reports' performance to their detriment (usually we'd call this discrimination) but the general notion that it is or should be more common is stupid.
I think Spanish should be on that list tooz since its one of the core languages out there right?
That's a strange take. He generated working code in less than half the time he did alone. What's not helpful about that ? Or must output be perfect before it's deemed helpful?
There's no societal support for addiction, or mentally ill people that use substance, but aren't addicted. The absolute worst place to go for help is the mental health industry, which will actively work to ruin your life, and cut you off from important medical treatments for the rest of your life.
As a parent of a 5 year old entering K this coming fall, we were set on the Spanish immersion program at our public school. Less expensive childcare costs never factored into the decision, and learning of cost savings is a bit of a shock to me. I never considered that aspect to private programs.

No. If the only way you can manage is via micromanagement then you shouldn’t be a manager, end of story, period.

The bar is far too low for managers already. The technical, communication and delivery bars are clear for developers at different levels. Managers have these too.

You don’t settle with dog shit management skills. If I ever saw a manager doing this and didn’t improve they would see the door in short notice.

Stop being lazy, provide your team with tooling or ways to help you gain insight. Make it clear to them what you need and how you can help them get there. Basically, do your job.
Recommendations are good when I've found myself in a sort of ecosystem of people who are all into the same thing. For example, independent comedians who play multiple characters in solo videos. And I believe that I've had more recommendations turn me on to really good stuff that I've followed long-term; for example, I seem to recall that I was watching Ginny Di and Mann Shorts awhile and YT found Deerstalker Productions for me; that was a really great rec. And then they held up VLDL and I resisted because it looked dumb and silly, and when I finally gave in, VLDL had another loyal follower who binged their back catalog in the space of a week or two. And this story keeps playing out.

Sometimes I need to purposely search out channels, and also ignore recommendations, because YT got the wrong idea. For example, right now I am interested in local Irish performers from Donegal, but YT has decided that I want to see any old Irish country-and-western performers. False on two counts: genre matters less than specific location.
> Does knowing more than one languages make you more reflective/liberal?

I believe some society traits leak through the language and you see a little bit more context when you learn a new language. (Especially with idioms, but separate words too) The in-your-face examples I remember now are the many polite ways to say "no" without saying "no" in Japanese, and Australian tribes using absolute directions (NESW) instead of relative. But there are more subtle ones too and I think they give you a better chance to be more open.
Apparently, this has been done because they're trying to collect telemetry on the use of the 64-bit client, and they want "pure" telemetry from the target OS, not the target OS and instances on other operating systems emulating the target OS (https://devforum.roblox.com/t/the-new-roblox-64-bit-byfron-c...).

I can see what they're trying to do here, but (a) I've never, personally, been of the opinion that this kind of shaping has the desired effect (if anything, I've seen users try harder to break the system when such an arbitrary block is put in place, which makes the resulting telemetry noisier) and (b) cutting your customer base to get "cleaner" numbers smells very shortsighted.
This encourages the worst habits, and will make a horrible programmer, and thinker, out of a bad one.
If you say it's an estimate then, it's not exact as per definition. If you are upfront regarding what assumptions were used to build the estimate, even better.

It would be different if you signed something, establishing a legally binding contract to deliver something at a given date.

Plus, a late delivery is not defamation. What I am talking here is condemning defamation as an accepted way of doing business.
garbage study!

multilingualism was self-reported so they don't differentiate between someone who slept through 2 years of HS spanish and someone who grew up speaking both English and Chinese

The study was also done in a single geographical location. terrible
Wow! I don't know how accuracy translates, I do see charts that look strong but unless I'm missing something, this is incredible. Would be curious and also terrified to see an endpoint so I can play around with it. I thought we were stopping this kind of research?
it seems I entirely missed the red text on Firefox that says "Your browser does not implement Conditional UI" so what Firefox did was to probably prompt for the old WebAuthn and I guess that's Windows Hello which makes a lot of sense to me.
I wonder whether Firefix will also show me the QR code signin as the default on desktop once they implement it. Like you said...in my opinion this makes no sense, obviously as a desktop user using a desktop site I want to remain on my desktop hardware device.

Or am I misunderstanding you and you want to log in on desktop with the same passkey that you generated on mobile? I think that is never supposed to work, it's supposed to be tied to the device.
Gasoline is a pain in the ass. You have to go out and fill your car up in dirty gas stations once or twice per week, and the time you’ll need gas is invariably the moment when you’re in the biggest hurry and can’t waste the time filling up. EVs, on the other hand, eliminate all of that. It is as though a magical fairy comes to my house every night (and again between every minor drive) and fills my “tank” to the top. Charging only becomes noticeable on long road trips, which is (for me) at most 2-3x per year, and then the superchargers make it into a slightly longer bathroom/meal break.
I wonder what's the core issue. Probably not it, but I've found that no Event Tracing support is there in wine (maybe I'm wrong) - so no .etw data from neither of the 3 or was it 4 apis to emit these. Just pointing out that sometimes missing one feature, not critical for games specifically, might be critical for another new system, and without it it might not function correctly. Again pure hypothesis. I'm curious though what it is...
I use watch later for completing videos, but these are just I think may be interesting from the homepage, like seeing the title and background pic. I sometimes open multiple tabs for them.

One of things I found the coolest, was when I am watching a video, and if the video mentions for example some event that happened a while ago or a person being referenced, I would immediately search for that, and I would see it already recommended on the search bar.

Maybe lots of others have also done the same, and it recorded that as a meaningful suggestion. Or maybe it's standard ML techniques, or the new Transformer models diffused across Googles products I'm not sure but was noticing this even around 3 years ago.
Sorry I really did not explain this well. I don't mean the people who make and officially train ChatGPT. I mean people who can adjust it's answers by engaging in debate with it. It does have a liberal bias by default, but you can easily get it to admit it's wrong on almost everything by pointing out correct facts that contradict liberal arguments. This feeds into answers it gives to other people.
I mentioned it at the end but yeah, probably on par with the others. It "unlocks" all of Latin America minus Brazil and few Dutch/French territories, but even Brazilians speak varying amount of Spanish.
Everything on Roblox is gamified to suck as much money out of kids as possible.

When my kid was using Roblox several years ago, all the games were made by kids. Nowadays all of the game developers moved from phone apps to Roblox. There’s no way I’m letting my kid get addicted to their tactics which are very effective, especially on kids.
Hannover Re the Latest to Leave Net-Zero Insurance Alliance
Here in Japan I often hear stories about kids raised bilingual being put into special needs classes because some schools consider it a cognitive impairment. Since my family lives abroad, I would like to teach my kids english at home and only use it in private settings, but feels weird having to hide something like that (also, half kids are sort of "expected" to speak english anyway).
There’s a fake hitman marketplace site that feeds data to the FBI. People will kill for a couple thousand lol.
Missing from the headline: This appears to be a temporary measure in their new beta client during testing of said client. It appears that they'll unblock wine when the client is out of beta.
If that’s the real reason, can they not hook up whatever method is being used to identify and block Wine as a signal in their telemetry system so they can filter that data in their query? This explanation sounds like either incompetence or an excuse.
Another roadblock to AGI starting to fall. WOW.
There are two solutions

1) Keep a list of all scrapping tools, versions, user-agent string, and which headers opt-out of each one and how can user misconfigure them to avoid the opt-out.

2) Add a general rate limit per ip, Bonus points for a te4mporal ban in case they don't understand the polite version.
I'm also new to manager role, but I think the first thing is you need to talk with him. Try to understanding what's going on about him, maybe it's just he had some bad time for whatever reason now. You can talk with him based on the fact of his performance and tell him your expectations. Just try to find out what's going on first before making any judgement.
8 months later when I write a block of code like that I'll likely make the same mistake. People tend to learn stuff they more frequently repeat...

Unless you're telling us you one shot learn almost everything on a strange defiance of the capabilities of the humans around you.
not without some sort of energy being added to the system.

otherwise an ambient temperature superconductor would be a perpetual motion machine
Yeah I like to call these types of management "smile f**ers".
My last org was like this. All smiles, everything great, everyones doing a great job.

Except that behind the scenes senior management was very unhappy about certain things, and our entire org got its clock cleaned over the following 18 months. Senior managers moved aside, others downgraded to IC roles, pushed a few people out, new leads hired from outside, etc etc.
Since the closest match thus far in the wild in bat populations was found in Laos ... that seems like a reasonable position.

One problem with the exotic animal trade, is the more exotic can make their way from afar, (locations outside of China) and if indeed the actual case of how the original covid first arrived at Wuhan, presently, well not publicly, no one really knows what exotics were actually traded at the market and their shipping details and what they might have been caged beside on the long journey to the market.
Good point. I guess I assumed that the second language was acquired later in life because otherwise it's not really "acquiring a second language", it's "acquiring multiple languages at the same time."

In looking back over this, I stumbled over this study which seems to directly contradict the one in the original link:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797612443836

"This study explores whether the cognitive advantage associated with bilingualism in executive functioning extends to young immigrant children challenged by poverty..."

which implies that there is a "cognitive advantage associated with bilingualism".

So maybe the original study is just bogus. Or maybe this one is. Who knows? Sociology doesn't have a stellar reputation for generating reproducible results.
It's so weird when that happens. During the Wii boom my parents visited for Christmas. I got them into Mario Kart and on Christmas Eve I cooked for the family. When done, I had to repeatedly encourage my parents to please stop playing Mario Kart and join my wife and me for Christmas dinner before the food gets cold. Very strange to experience this in reverse, as I still had vivid memories of my parents trying to pull me away from Link's Awakening on my GameBoy many Christmases earlier.
> They feel strongly drawn to C's virtues, often explicitly in contrast to other languages

Can someone point me to which set of virtues you are talking about here? Simplicity? Value semantics and imperatives, little abstractions over what the computer OS is actually doing? Manual control over almost everything being done? Are such "virtues" safe and dignifying under an universal context of computer programming? Isn't it a bit dangerous to let such Virtues take over in modern programming dealing with heavy abstraction layers because of the yield in complexity of modern hardware?
That's because you're comparing one of the biggest GPUs to a midrange CPU. Epyc 9654 has 12xCCD, which is bigger than the 4090. Radeon RX 6400 has a 107mm2 die, which is smaller than the Ryzen IO die.
I think biculturalism offers the advantage more than just language.
My guess would be that using Roman numerals was an attempt to "elevate" the product beyond its working class entertainment origins. Talkies were shown in venues where less sophisticated people frequented and the industry needed to escape those connotations of un-sophistication and even perhaps immorality. In the same way baseball was considered entertainment for the rougher lower class crowd. Roman numerals added a pretentious sophistication.
Great article! I also find this one very useful for a new manager.

That name reminds me of "Liberty Biberty" from the insurance commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mrLqtmko5Y

I meant that someone moving to another country, for example, would be motivated enough to take a more efficient route. Nobody who needs to learn another language for work or life considers Duolingo to be the best option.

You can’t seriously blame Duolingo for portraying itself positively in light of the difficulty of language learning. With 15 minutes a day, you can make progress. That’s not wrong. “Hey you lazy piece of shit who isn’t willing to buy a Spanish textbook, we have an app for you to learn to count to three in Spanish” wouldn’t do very well.

You use the word “dupe” as if the point of advertising isn’t to portray the most positive technically correct aspects of a product. People settle on Duolingo because becoming fluent is easy. It’s that simple. It’s the easiest path to fluency. Duolingo won’t get you all the way there (and it may even give you some bad habits), but it’s the lowest effort route through the hardest part. It’s a slow route, but it’s the only route if you’re too low-motivation to take a harder route.

You’ve clearly learned a language through better means, and you’re shitting on a tool that others use. Not only that, it’s the tool with the lowest barrier to entry. You’re the definition of a gatekeeper.
I speak 7 (4 acquired as a child, 1 in school, and 2 as an adult) and I find I'm able to understand understand cultural nuances better, which helps me to bridge cultural gaps and have multi-perspectival views on most things. (this is quite apart from the unproven Sapir-Whorf hypotheses stuff about language influencing thoughts -- it's not like that at all). Having multiple languages simply gives me affinity for multiple cultures and helps me pay attention to certain details that are easily missed by people not of that culture.

Being able to live between cultures isn't necessarily something that is prized by many, but having been an outsider in every culture I've ever lived in, this ability has helped me become a chameleon and blend into new cultures (corporate cultures, community cultures etc.) in order to feel a sense of belonging.

So the benefits for me are purely sociological -- I agree that being multilingual confers little advantage in terms of performing executive tasks (which is what the linked article was testing).
So pay attention to your APIs.

If you have an API that still makes sense for what you'll need to do at larger scales, it matters a whole lot less if your current implementation doesn't scale.

It also means that if when you start exploring options for scaling, the pain points around integrating your POCs won't be nearly as bad.

(No you won't get it right, but you can get it far less wrong.)
Destination chargers are Level 2, so while not superchargers they are much faster than a (Level 1) generic US 120v outlet. They're fast enough to recharge the car overnight. They're fairly common at mid-range and better hotels. Sometimes I call ahead to reserve one but usually I find one open when I arrive. The Plugshare app and website (among others) can help you find them, as can the Tesla website.

I don't see their numbers growing as fast now as 3-4 years ago because there are so many more superchargers now that destination chargers don't give a hotel as much of a competitive advantage, except in places where there is still not a supercharger nearby.
The workspace support looks really interesting, it's something that I'm really missing in Poetry right now.
18%* of the nation, so not quite the blanket generalization that your judgemental approach would like it to be.

Edit: And that number even includes people who have used it "at least once", so the number of regular/habitual users would be lower than that.

It is definitely worth logging in. For each recommended video you will then have the option of selecting 'not interested' or 'don't recommend this channel'.

I would say it makes all the difference.
One suggestion: Give it time. Many (myself included) are “slow boils”. Probably every manager I’ve ever had was kicking themselves for hiring me 6 months in, but past the 12 month mark and things have turned a corner. Anecdotal for sure, but every previous manager I’ve had continues to randomly ping me about job openings.
What are the full set of responsibilities of the team member? Are they being tied to previous projects? Is there something that is getting in their way? Is there a culture clash?

Also, understand that the new person is learning the context and team culture, and will take some time to get up to speed. How long have they been on the team? How long have you been on the team? The other team members?

There is a lot of context to consider. We can make a lot of assumptions based on our own experiences, but may end up sending you astray.
5-interaction limit, and it won't answer the question of whether the interactions are being saved.
I can vouch for that idea. I dreaded taking statistics in college, because I'm just not a mathy person. But the teacher was fantastic. I actually enjoyed the class - which was 100% due to his passion for the subject, and deep interest in teaching it to the next generation.
Per the article, the technique requires models with a minimum of 100B parameters.
I had to work hard to avoid being the "angsting" type of manager. I care deeply about the people around me and it can feel (to me) like I'm attacking them when saying things that might be challenging.

The first time I fired someone, I was completely crushed. But I was lucky to have that go particularly well in the long run. It was clear to me why this person wasn't going to succeed with us. I offered to give advice during their ensuing job search and they took me up on it. They had two offers at two very different companies. It was clear to me that they would have the same trouble at one but would fit the other. They had the same sense and they immediately found more success than they'd ever had before. A year later they reached out to tell me that firing them showed more care than any manager / mentor / teacher had ever shown them and it helped them take the next big step in their career.

It's still not easy for me to say things that I think might make people uncomfortable. But the experience of firing that person is a constant reminder that speaking hard truths is the deepest kind of caring a manager can show.
Sage advice. So often major architectural decisions are made in haste because of YAGNI arguments or business pressure. But a high-level design that can cope with stress and volatility is so cheap to do early, and so expensive to try to back up and do later with an existing implementation.
I've found that with Brazilians, even if they don't speak Spanish, I can speak Spanish at them and scrape by. It's much easier that me relying solely on English to communicate, fwiw.
They can. So yes, you're spot on.
