I was almost 18 when Washington state passed stricter labor laws for 16-17 year olds, and I was actually really pissed for those couple of months that I had to deal with it. You know, I was almost an adult at that point, I was doing great in school, on my way to university, and…I have to cut back on work because some Karen thought they knew what was better for me?!

Anyways, seeing it from the perspective of being that teenager once, I can sympathize with these roll backs. And I don’t want to become a new Karen to today’s teenagers.

Are you accusing Google of "large part copied code" based on an old commit which is not even used in this official launch? Do you have any evidence from their recent commit? At least I don't see the current two repos are anywhere alike, except for that you both implement the same interface. Also, they did reach out to you and you just didn't respond, so why are you complaining now?

It makes me sad that no one here cares about whether your blame is true. And I'd expect you can provide more convincing evidence. But looks like the accusation is not even true. It's not fair for those contributors man, I hope you can apologize.

I accept his argument but it is tilting at windmills. Is it valid to engage in mass erasure of a historical record to suit outmoded ideas? The issue here is that an existing word has acquired a new usage and the old guard isn't happy with the change. There was once much grousing about youths failing to properly conjugate second person pronouns. Now it's anachronistic to use them.
What does the for profit part do with the profits
Well, I was one of the engineers that made the change :) I'm not sure how much I can tell, but the public reason was: "to make pricing more predictable".

Basically, one of the problems was customers who just set the spot price to 10x of the nominal price and leave the bids unattended. This was usually fine, when the price was 0.2x of the nominal price. But sometimes EC2 instance capacity crunches happened, and these high bids actually started competing with each other. As a result, customers could easily get 100 _times_ higher bill than they expected.

Another issue was that EC2 spot internally in AWS was implemented as a "bolted on" service that was not on the EC2 instance launch path, so it was easy to game the market. You could do very fun things, like:

1. You need an instance type that is right now under heavy contention. Not to worry! There's a way to get these instances!

2. You create a small VPC with only a couple of available IPs.

3. Then you submit a thousand EC2 Spot bids at 10x the price.

4. Your bids win and EC2 terminates other customers' instances. After all, you're willing to pay more!

5. EC2 then tries to launch these 1000 EC2 instances into the VPC. And fails, because there aren't any IPs available (see item 2).

6. Whoopsie. The bids are cancelled and EC2 instances are returned to the pool. Oh, and you're not charged anything because instances failed to launch.

7. Profit! Now there is plenty of capacity and you can submit bids at a normal price.
I work at AWS in Professional Services of course all opinions are my own.

The answer for you is LightSail.

LightSail is a standard VPS. But if you want to upgrade to “real AWS” later on, you can. The only thing that I’m aware of that could cause bills to go up is egress over your allowance.

To be honest with you, I would be slightly afraid of screwing up and having an unexpected bill from AWS if I were doing a personal project and I do this for a living. There have been plenty of times where I left something expensive running or provisioned an expensive service (Kendra) and forgot to shut it down until I ended up on a list of “people with the highest spend” on our internal system on one of my non production accounts.
Working a crappy service job as a teenager is actually more motivation for going to college than not. And some of our parents didn’t give us much after 15, you need to do something to get out of that single wide trailer as soon as possible.

The article title is a lot of clickbait, but the core user-need driven approach to building features should resonate with most builder audiences on this site. Honestly, I'm really not sure what the product team was doing if they weren't noticing these issues coming up over and over and over again in user feedback. Anyone who stays in Airbnbs 10 times will encounter at least one or two of these core issues across their stays (crazy cleaning fees, additional contracts needing to be signed after booking, weird and extensive checkout steps).

For the last 2-3 years Airbnb has publicly announced a set of improvements on the platform. Yes, these should have been fixed ages ago, but I commend Chesky and the Airbnb team for actually taking action.

Price transparency, visibility of check-out steps beforehand, improvement around single rooms (true OG Air Bed and Breakfast style) are welcome steps and, in my humble opinion, I think Airbnb should continue to pivot away from hotels (standardized boring experiences) and lean into the uniqueness of each room/home.
There're very few businesses where this sort of dogfooding is viable, Airbnb's domain is such that the dude could effectively work ~24 hours a day with almost no overhead.

If it became common usage, yes? If most people make "a habitual mistake", then by whose authority of it a mistake?

> Sure, but why should people who can’t use the language properly (*) be an uncontested force in that evolution?

How do you think English and all other modern languages formed? If some authority were able to stop people who can't use a language properly from evolving it, the people on the British isles would be speaking Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Latin, etc. today, not English.
Can't agree more, especially true in terms of business
If contain and consist and replace a new word and it is supposed to be an encyclopædia then maybe it is a legit move. It's like English professor ranting about use vs. utilise. Mixing words are bad attempts and precise wording is objectively better, tho I highly question if the machine effort replacing a ambiguous word is good enough to detect what it actually means in context.
Yes, gas cars would disappear very quickly at that rate of carbon taxation.

"People in general" would absolutely use non-planet-ruining versions of basically anything, the problem is getting there -- most people do not even think about the polluting effects of every item they buy, and could not even if they wanted to given supply chain complexity.

Unfortunately these decisions are made for them, largely by the realities of economics and policy: when you have the option to pay to internalize the external cost of travel yourself, most people don't -- why would they? No one wants to act alone to hold that bag, that's literally one of the main reasons for policy: to engage in group action for group advantage where individual action is a competitive disadvantage.

Redistributive taxes on carbon emissions are likely something many people would support -- were it not for concerted efforts to the contrary by individuals and industries that stand to lose stature as a result. But on carbon capture: there will absolutely continue to be near- and medium-term use cases where burning petroleum products and then capturing the CO2 later is the most cost-effective approach. (Or vice versa, via synfuels.) There will still be a carbon cycle, and we will still want to have many levers on it.

As a former Scripps spelling bee contestant, I've developed a low-grade allergy to commonplace onomotopeic words with no obvious, agreed-upon spelling. Recently I struggled with zhuzh (which has the bonus terror of having an alternate spelling, 'zhoosh') - but I commend OP for having chosen a phonetically parseable spelling over one of your (arguably more appropriate) choices, as I suspect it would have taken a lot longer to divine meaning from.
A lot of 14-17 year olds would find what you are saying about them very patronizing. It’s like you expect them to go from kids to adults the night the minute 18? I learned how to use a band saw in shop class when I was in 8th grade. Now we don’t even let kids ride the bus alone until they turn 18.

Not all kids are challenged by high school. I was working full time my junior and senior years while taking physics 1 and 2 as well as pre calc and calculus. Really, it didn’t have much to offer me, I would have been really bored if not allowed to work. It’s weird because I had to cut back after 18, turns out college isn’t as easy as high school even though there is a lot less class time.
This was a fantastic read. I can see us getting here in a few decades of constant exposure to LLMs.

Couple this with some form of advanced VR, and human-to-human collaboration will make everyone look and sound either: a) the way they would LIKE to be presented to the world, or b) an overriden version of how the OBSERVER would prefer them to look and sound.

Either way, it's terrifylingly isolationist.
Expert reaction to Geoffrey Hinton quits Google over risks posed by AI
A key point I draw from these responses is that you don't have to believe in AGI or even AI to agree with the risks inherent in LLM and GPT application to real world problems, or the lack of cohesion in regulatory oversight.

(I don't believe we have achieved AGI or any "I" in current or foreseeable AI research. I don't expect it, or believe in its emergence from what LLMs and GPT are doing)
We developed an internal library, but there are similar libraries in open source (although I can't remember their names).

While Codeberg e.V. have demonstrated principles, Codeberg would likely to lose in German courts. Remember that this is the same legal system that ordered a German hosting company to order removal of youtube-dl's homepage (it's not even the code itself). In fact, I'm confident to say (based on the word of the law and the actual cases that have happened) that Germany's equivalent of DMCA is significantly more strict than the DMCA itself.

Sure, it’s not the same as static typing, but for me it’s broadly better. To take a simple example, static typing can’t guarantee an argument is a natural number, as opposed to an (edit: integer).
Oh that misses my favorite, "egregiously" which means both done very well and done exceptionally wrong, the latter used more commonly, the former archaic.

Claim language is very specific:

A claim for an invention "comprising" A, B, and C also generally claims inventions that include other elements. Such claims are usually within the statuary categories of processes, machines, or articles of manufacture.

A claim for an invention "consisting of" A, B, and C, however, does not generally claim inventions that include other elements. Such claims are usually usually within the statutory category of "compositions of matter" which includes such things as useful drug or chemical mixtures.

No one seems to understand Wikipedia operates as a system of lords and serfs, where a powerful few pull this crap all the time.

Most relevant example I can think of is when Mac OS X was renamed and stylized to "macOS" someone went and systematically did a find and replace all instances of "OS X" to macOS even in situations where it made absolutely no sense as the article was explicitly talking about prior versions. It was like rewriting history in real time.

Imagine if someone went into a library and started editing history books with a Sharpie to reflect future events.
I think, we should make an exception, if the same sentence also includes a reversal of "consists". Example: "The right of way is comprised of tracks, sleepers and ballast, while locomotive and wagons consist a train." (Rationale: We're clearly facing the utterance of an AI with suboptimal vectorization and there is simply nothing we can do about this.) ;-)
Since the topic is “who defines English”, it’s useful to list our experiences with Académie Française.

- Seats can only be replaced at death, which explains the advanced age. I generally think old people have more experience than younger ones, but opinions vary, and youngism and modernism are a thing.

- The first woman in the Académie, in 1980, was Marguerite Yourcenar, and she probably was the most non-feminist woman they could choose.

- Recently they opposed the “français.e.s” style of writing, sticking to the classic “français(e)s” or “ladies and gentlemen” inclusive writing. It made an uproar because the first one is described as the only inclusive one by feminist organizations, who like to forget that we included women before they were born. So we reached a fun state where the government uses the feminist one, the Académie says it’s not French, all organizations that want to please women align with the government, but I assure you I never receive management-oriented document in feminist writing, I rarely receive resumes or cover letters in feminist style, nor would I accept them if I got them (political militantism doesn’t make a good employee, especially if they pretend including women is a new thing).

Any other fun story about the moral upstanding of the Académie Française would be interesting too.
Definitely agree. It also feels like this would be perfect in combination with something like ipfs for a decentralized way to store and access these images.

Unfortunately you are right, racism is the most visible part of the iceberg, but this toxic attitude is present in all spheres of the French society.

Doing harmful jokes as well as dismissing, making fun and looking down at those that don't follow some abstract definition of "being normal" are deeply ingrained in the French culture (and also a source of pride - along with the whole french culture). Few are the people that understands and recognize this.

They sincerely see that as just humor and jokes, without realizing that it hurts. And I guess that being a foreigner there makes it worse, since you're even more unaware of it and different than their "norm" (whatever that is).

As a french, it took me an emigration to realize that this was - in fact - not normal, but actually a harmful and toxic behaviour that is not acceptable elsewhere.
