It should be noted that's the opinion of Western liberals, who are pretty culturally imperialistic and expect and demand that other cultures adopt their values and adapt to their preferences.
While this generally works as a way of filtering that one company if needed, it doesn't protect against spam when if they have their mailing lists stolen (or selling them is BAU), and many spammers know about this and will send to the base address instead.

The real estate exam is way easier than any IT interview. The MLS is a minor fee for access to the listing service. Tech has tons of regulatory requirements, some segments more than others. Most of the requirements for real estate are in the standard template already. Anything more difficult, and an agent will refer you to see a real estate attorney (much higher barrier to entry).

An easy way to look at this is how many real estate agents could be devs vs how many devs could be agents...
I have been watching trailers of new (seasons) of TV shows these past few days. Am I mad for thinking the acting for TV actors are uniformly very bad, even compare to 10 years ago? Or is it that the trailers only show exaggerated scenes?

The Value of “Small” Contributions
Clojure/Conj 10 Years On
This article has no reasoning, investigation, or background information on previous groundings - just quotes cherry-picked to suggest a particular outcome. Did SpaceX screw the pooch, or is this business as usual? I can't decide, but I did really enjoy this quote:

"[no proof] ... but environmental groups are holding judgment until a full investigation can be completed."
I think the problem was that the big concrete pad needed expansion joints. Those joints should have been angled such that when the pad is in use the venturi effect caused the concrete slabs to be sucked towards the ground.

However, this wasn't the case - the joints were vertical (as would be normal for laying a parking lot), and the end result was exhaust gasses went through the joints and lifted the slabs up, causing many of them to get blown away.

The obvious thing for Germany was to replace lignite with gas powered plants. Gas plants have to advantage that they are very compatible electricity from sun and wind. And even without that directly reduce CO2 emissions.

Where this plan went wrong was when they picked the cheapest supplier of this gas, Russia.

That is how copyright works. If you put something in public, people are allowed to look at it. And learn from it. They just can’t distribute copies of it.

I think it’s wild and deeply inspiring to imagine how the surface of the earth had radically different forms over billions of years. Huge landscapes of unrotted dead plants. Then massive landscapes of fungus and decomposing bacteria breaking that down into dirt. And on and on.

I think it is wise to understand that earth has been through many eras and is not as homeostatic as our narrowly imagined “natural” state we seek today. And I am not trying to build an anti climate change argument, just that static “naturalism” is a human construct.
It's not just the UK. Munich famously tried to get away from Microsoft and failed. The reasons aren't entirely clear to me - rumor has it it's because of some deals behind closed doors - but I think it's obvious that many governments on all levels are fully dependent on Microsoft. I believe China is headed towards independence of Microsoft, though.

> InfluxDB 3.0 is now available in InfluxData’s cloud products: InfluxDB Cloud Serverless (our fully managed, elastic, multi-tenant database) and InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated (a fully managed, single tenant version of InfluxDB) announced today. Stay tuned for two planned, self-managed products coming later this year

-InfluxDB 3.0 Clustered: The evolution of InfluxDB Enterprise.

-InfluxDB 3.0 Edge: A single node instance for local and edge deployment that will be available later this year.

It's not clear based on this if the self-managed products will be OSS or licensed similar to the Enterprise version. My understanding is that the current IOx versions are cloud only.
Or maybe we should not be supporting horizontal integration of already large companies in the same industry acquiring other large companies.

Very cool, though I'm not sure how production-ready this is, given that there doesn't seem to be a way to add authorization for certain fields / queries.

Also, does the generated schema include the primary keys? Otherwise caching in the frontend might turn out to be difficult.

It's been interesting to watch Korea's breakout in film and television since the 00s. My first steps into it then were Oldboy, Oasis, and Mother, all very rich films, and all very distinct from what Hollywood was occupied with, which for whatever reason I'd found unengaging.

That's fair enough - this list is unsurprising at CUNY, given its mission and student body. The same list at BigStateU could be a little off-putting, though I tend to believe most of the "woke" requirements are made in good faith. I've read plenty of accounts of minority students who attended top-notch unis (some Ivies, some premier state schools) and felt completely out-of-place for myriad reasons. Colleges should put guardrails in place to ensure these students are successful.

I find it surprising that you thought Mythical Man Month was "brutally outdated"

Bentley's Programming Pearls, by that standard, is also "brutally outdated" - but the point of the book is not "how do I make this work in early 1980s technology"

The point of PP is "ask the right question"

The point of MMM is "add resources when necessary; be brutally minimalistic about how many resources are added"
That means he has a possible conflict of interest, but a possible conflict of interest does not, by itself, destroy credibility. Credibility is lost when you say something that's wrong, not when you have a possible conflict.

Looks like a very neat tool. Enormous klaxon-level alerts when I got to this bit though:

> Can I download the source code for my website?

> Yes, You have a paid option to export your website into HTML, CSS & JS files.

Does this mean that you are obfuscating the HTML, CSS and JS files when I visit my website? This code should just be... accessible. If the website is hosted, my code should be attainable.

AI tools are neat (and you've built a cool product) but... playing monkey-in-the-middle with your website source code just feels sleazy. It's the sort of thing Wix.com or Weebly might try, and bumped me down from "I'll try this" to "maybe next time".

Just my $0.02 though!
I apply labels and `skip inbox` via Gmail filters automatically. It's probably the one redeeming quality of Gmail at this point and is what keeps me using it so that email can be processed prior to it sending a push notification to my devices.

With that said, it's a niche use anyway, stick to the catch-all on your own domain whenever possible, and for anything else, it's a fringe case anyway.
Yes, which is why I don’t understand how ‘market forces’ ( I’m quoting the cma) will magically improve things for me, the end user/ consumer.

What I want is a simple regulation which says that if I buy a game, I should be able to run it locally, or on a rented box, whether operated by a third party or not.
I think it makes sense for them to emphasize a strong understanding of the fundamentals. It will help those students who later want to go into data science as well.

> but in general the top US tech companies... are too big

> I think most people can accept that there's a risk to consumers, markets, and democracy if companies become too big.

I don't think that's true at all. If you want to make an argument that companies are too big, you need some exact logic to support it.

The only solid arguments I'm aware of are specifically regarding banks because of their systemic impact on the economy -- the become "too big to fail" and thereby become a moral hazard situation. Although given the efficiencies of large banks, the solution has become to regulate them more tightly to prevent moral hazards, not to break them up.

But the idea that tech companies are too big doesn't have the same kind of logic behind it, and your assertion that they "snuff out entire startup sectors" doesn't seem to be supported by any evidence. To the contrary, they invest in entire startup sectors and competing top tech companies buy competing startups to supercharge them. Competition is thriving as the big tech firms compete with each other.

In the modern era of Big Tech, consumers seem to be doing great, markets seem to be doing great, and Big Tech's size is probably not even in the top 50 threats to democracy. The effects of social media is surely in the top 5 threats to democracy, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the size of the company that owns a social network.
Maybe I misunderstand but why is it bonkers if they ship the app bundled with the specific version they decided to support anyways?
Would you commonly test an app against different versions of a dependency than the one you’re using?
There was no link to the actual decision in the article, but the summary stated that "patents can be issued only to human inventors and that his AI system could not be considered the legal creator of two inventions that he has said it generated." The same reasoning is widely held in science, i.e. AI cannot claim authorship.

Maybe we should create a religion around cryptography and share the knowledge as sacred books, this way the knowledge won't be lost regardless of context or culture and will be subconsciously in everyone's minds (even the atheists since they will also be exposed to it).
Only Tesla has that data, so no one can link to it.

If it showed things were better than average it would fit their message and I’d expect them to publish it.

If it showed things were average it would not fit their narrative. If it showed things were worse it would contradict their narrative.

Seems like there is only one reason to withhold numbers or publish them in a misleading way. They prove your claims that your tech is way safer wrong in some way.

How can prompt engineering not be a thing so long as prompts are needed? If a different range of inputs produces a different range of outputs how could there be no room for nuances? Or how is intent engineering really any different? It’s all based off an prompt input right?

I think part of this comes from the fact that the same input will produce a different output.
They may have considered difficulty cancelling as a feature. It would probably look good in the retention metrics. Companies often hire consultants to tell them things that they already know but don't like to admit to themselves.
First the actual use for training AI isn’t needed for copyright protection to kick in, simply downloading his images to build the training set is already copyright infringement.

2. The artist disabled crawling on their website so it’s accessible but not fully available.

3. Your link says many things that aren’t settled in terms of US law but rather the options of the author. “even if infringement occurs during machine learning, training AI with copyrighted works would likely be excused by the fair use doctrine.” That’s a lot of possibilities not actual guarantees.

However, it ignores the largest issue namely if the output of these AI’s are all simply derivative works.
World's 'oldest' tree able to reveal planet's secrets
I’m aware of all the stuff. I just think (and have thought from the start) that it’s wrong and has missed the point, especially in a flex and grid world where (a) the difference should matter much less often, and (b) if the difference does matter, you could probably implement things better (in a way that would incidentally make the difference not matter).
Cat’s out of the bag on free infinite copying of digital media too, but copyright law still exists.
I love watching Korean and Scandinavian stuff on Netflix. American stuff moves way too fast for me in terms of pacing.

I like the simplicity of this solution. Could you expand on it? Any examples?
While there certainly is variation in the outcomes of people by degree, you would want to compare arts majors with degrees to artists without degrees, not compare artists to engineers. You might still find that the degree-holding artists are quite a bit better off than the artists who stopped formal education after high school.

> arts majors living off government money

What does this have to do with anything? There are lots of scientists, engineers, lawyers, construction workers, and basically every job under the sun being paid by government money. If you’re talking about financial outcomes, a job is a job, and govt vs private is irrelevant, right?
Every year in December I start seeing these nice ads from Economist, FT, NYT and all others and I'm really tempted to subscribe to one of them. But then I go to Reddit and look up reviews about unsubscribing, and see things like "simply call some international USA phone number, wasting a lot of money in the process and when/if you'll get to a human on the other end just dictate them an obscure number not visible anywhere except during the new subscription process" and I nope the fuck out of this idea. The Economist alone lost probably a thousand dollars from me only, which I would have wasted in a recurring sub, like I already do with video streaming services or MMOs. If only they had a sane unsubscribe option online. And the longer I avoid expensive online press, the more I will probably avoid it altogether, since now I know that I'm really not missing much in the very long run, over several years.

Yeah, while all the other stuff is important, prompts are a big deal, especially for generative image tasks. They need to be just right for the checkpoint, but if you nail it, you can get an awesome image straight away. Sadly, most people just give up too quickly.

But with ChatGPT, even if you give it a terrible prompt, it can still "get" what you're trying to say. You can keep chatting until you get the image you want. It's way easier than with Txt2img, which can be pretty unforgiving.

And those courses? Total scam, don't bother with them.

Naw, I'm just cheap. My washer had to literally fall apart before I replaced it. Cheap galvanized cast iron junk that vibrated itself to death.

Our family motto is "I can make it cheaper than that!" which tells you how often we fall victim to the IKEA effect. Lately I like to budget out my projects so I know if I'm actually saving any money. Especially considering labor. Most of my projects lately are stuff I can't get for hook or crook from anywhere.

You are totally right about heavy stuff on Amazon. To your door freight is SO expensive. The problem is all the stores are setting their prices to Amazon's prices.
