I almost lost ~$10k when selling some NVIDIA GPUs on eBay but the buyer claimed they had "fallen out" of the box.

I had insurance on the box but the buyer wouldn't return the box to Fedex for inspection. (Because it was fraud)

Getting this fixed was excruciating and ended up having to DM people on LinkedIn and guess their internal e-mail addresses to get this resolved. Absolutely horrible!
I am in the process of doing that, and my answer has been to move all the things that I can to the new account, and then keep the old one around until nothing more I care about comes there.

Humans didn't eat a lot of sugar until fairly recently, too. And even if you did, you'd have to be very, very rich to be eating it 3 meals a day.

Now you can get sugary cereal for breakfast, sandwich bread with HFCS for your lunchtime sammo, and a curry jam packed with palm oil and sugar for dinner. And that doesn't count the cookies or Pepsi you slam in between.

Raw sugar of HFCS -- don't matter none, it's that you're slamming em at each meal, all the time.
It's a "dumb" article, but your reasoning is inline with it.

The problem with many of your "unneeded workers" is that when they become needed you can't flip the switch and they'll appear grateful for the bread you throw at them.

See service industry after the Pandemic, now extrapolate for highly technical jobs ( even the sales ones ). And also it's not like these people have gold fish memory, they remember, and adjust accordingly.

On the other side, Intel can't/shouldn't simply cancel the dividends because those 1.5B "saved" would cost them multiples of that since investors wouldn't buy their stock and many would sell - cutting their already big losses - So for Intel, capital would come only from the banks and the rates aren't exactly 0% now..

This is yet another example how Intel "star" execs ( and the board ) should have been competent 10 years ago instead of riding the wave. Now Intel is in a very tough position and it's really "no ones fault" of those who are there now.
I love it, really do! And as I said, the trading of in game stuff, that doesn't have game impact most of the time, is more like a fun add-on for people who like it. Steam is a great service, something that represents the internet we could have had in a different time-line.
I think Instagram is a better example of enshittification than TikTok.

It's been around far longer, the algorithm has gotten far worse, and it's not Chinese controlled so people don't criticize it as much and changes slide under the radar.
Personally, I wish we could stop judging individuals without understanding the context. There may be a million different reasons for someone that needs frequent job changes in a four year periods. Asking good questions to candidates will be far more informative and useful to the business than having a set of rules for dismissal or judgement.

Furthermore, the company is rarely/never accountable for swiftly laying people off individuals that may otherwise be excellent workers.

Frankly, if a company is discarding CVs based on perceived loyalty, then I perhaps those same companies to provide candidates with a contract reciprocates that loyalty via generous raises and job security.
You are using the worst possible metric. As if having the largest market cap says anything useful.
So the world can use bing instead? MS is standing right behind Google.
That's right. It matters if you're talking about "price" as the price on the product or the price consumers pay.
> Finally, he adds, biochar is made from “biomass that otherwise will be landfilled where it releases carbon dioxide, or methane, which is a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.”

I thought biochar is a carbon stable form that is in demand as a soil amendment?
Steam is only good relative to its competitors. From a technical perspective, it's a dumpster fire that hasn't notably evolved in twenty years, full of broken, abandoned, and half-implemented features (off the top of my head: search, profiles, group chat, voice chat, the phone app, broadcasting, the community tab, the in-game overlay, big picture mode, and any context where it ever feels like rendering a website in its own janky, slow, insecure fork of some 2008-era browser engine all fall into one these categories).

Fortunately, it mostly works to launch games, which is all it needs to do. Valve's own legendary internal dysfunction is perhaps a reason why it hasn't been enshittified as thoroughly as other launchers. (And I say this as someone who is happy that Valve puts any thought at all into gaming on Linux, and intends to buy a Steam Deck someday.)
I use KeePassXC on my linux desktops and macbook, but are there any good mobile apps that support it, that I can import my database into?

> Cruelty inflicted on the citizen is systematized or justified, and does not read as cruelty in the "view from within"

Spartans, Nazis and Aztecs were proudly cruel to their own. Hyper-masculine societies have historically celebrated this as a way of culling the weak from their ranks, a necessary evil. If anything, not being an honour-bound and sacrificial culture is something of a modern phenomenon.
It carries a very different meaning from terms like 'Trash', 'Garbage', 'Rubbish', 'Tyre Pyre', and a singificantly-enough-different meaning from something like 'Cesspit' and 'Dump'.
Platforms are a carnival mirror reflection of the people who use it (both users and suppliers), and "enshittification" is just what it looks like once everyone piles in.

+1 to this - Though it has been many years, at one point I helped write CFD code for the US Navy. The disconnect between real-world measurements and simulations was vast for any structure remotely complicated (ie anything but an axially symmetric simple shape like a torpedo). While the CFD code has gotten way better (largely via Moore's law), I expect propellers are still quite hard to simulate, and your best path is to build a model and see how it performs.
2nd Am is throwing a wrench in this
This text was your classic “I’m writing a tutorial to see how much I know”, being only intelligible to the exact set of people who already know what it’s about. A lot of important ideas glossed over, eg “we don’t know log pt” then immediately using it in the loss function.

I probably sound very negative but I feel that you have some responsibility to your readers if you publish your text.
That's not the proper way to multiply. If you mean to use compounding interest, the proper rate is 1.017 * 1.017 = 1.034289 = 3.428% annualized.

I rounded it to 3.4% for simplicity.
Too many casio purists here. But I'm happy to see this. There are not a lot of design choices available in fitness trackers. Apple watch works only with iOS. Samsung watch is too round & cute to suit wrists of a grown man, the build quality of Fossil is questionable. Garmin is too expensive. I'll wait for some reviews and then consider buying this.
Had great results with Keto but was effectively impossible to maintain -- too many cheap carbs, and lots of them too delicious to ignore.

Note that the 20% workforce reduction is within one relatively small portion of the company. IIRC, this is also the portion of the company that works on the Intel branded servers they were somehow still building in 2023. They are finally exiting that business and those workers are redundant. What would you have these workers do when their entire reason for being hired and employed no longer exists?
I can agree it's obscure in the sense that we shrug when asked about how it works. If you specifically train a model to mimic a specific style I can get behind it leaning more towards theft, or at least being immoral regardless of laws.

If you train a model to replicate 10000 specific artists, I could also get behind it being more like theft.

But if the intention was to train with random data (and some of it could be copyrighted) just like your polaroid example to generate anything you want, I'm not so sure anymore.

I feel the intent is the most important part here. But then again I don't know the intent behind these companies, and I guess you don't either. Maybe no single person working in these companies know the intent either.

It also gets murky when you have prompts that can refer to specific artists and when people who use the models explicitly try to copy an artists style. In the case of stable diffusion, if the CEO's to be believed the clip model had learned to associate images of greg ruktowski and other artists to images that were not theirs but in a similar style[0]

Even murkier is when you have a base model trained on public data, but people finetune at home to replicate some specific artist's style.

Do you want a serious answer, or are you just here to insult people? If you edit your comment to remove the insults, I'd be glad to share my thoughts.
Having law enforcement and intel separate is a common seperation of powers thing (e.g. in canada intel was separated out from police after a controversey where rcmp burnt down a barn where they thought terrorists were meeting)
> “I didn’t pay enough attention to security.”

In the late 70s / early 80s there was a ton that the public didn't yet know about cryptography. Few, if any private citizens could have gotten security remotely right at that point. Remember, Diffie-Hellman was invented in 1976, and RSA in 1977, and PKI came some years after that, and DES was also from 1976/1977. As well the public's understanding of the need to do authenticated encryption came later, and the industry didn't really start catching on until the 90s, and AEAD cipher modes didn't really become a thing till the 00s, and didn't start to get used widely for another decade, and so on and on.

If you ask different parts of your company if Scrum or Kanban is better, you'll get WILDLY different answers from different parts of the business. The CEO has very different needs and wants than the on-the-ground code monkey. We have to take all of that into account before saying we "don't need" Scrum. Yes, okay, you don't NEED scrum, but maybe it's the best tool for the job, given the collective requirements of the business.

Judging by the perspective shared in this article, I'd say it's coming from a Team Lead / Lead Programmer role at a small company, where Kanban works great. Once you grow beyond a certain size, almost everyone switches to Scrum. Why? Because it reduces friction with other parts of the business, which want - nay - NEED to slice time up into manageable, trackable chunks. And this goes all the way to the CEO and investors. You may not like it, but it's a very real constraint on your choice here.
it's hilarious that you think Doctorow is a pawn of "mainstream" media.
Only problem is, now you've got a bunch of Microsoft products on your hands.
My comment is mostly a reference to this video[1].

Replace 'sawdust' with 'cheapest sugar available' and that is something happens all of the time, and is arguably worse, because sawdust doesn't cause addiction, diabetes, heart disease or obesity.

Although a joke, sawdust is listed as 'cellulose' in food ingredients, and it's commonly used in food[2].

> One we're arming Kyiv. That they've incorporated members with a problematic past is known and, frankly, rational. (Can't be choosy when an actual fascist neighbor is invading.)

If you're arming Kiev and Kiev is arming these "members with a problematic past" (nice euphemism) then you're also arming them.

Looks like this logic worked well for Iraq and Afghanistan, it only caused milions of deaths and decades of destruction.

> Two, the Azov Brigade was destroyed (after fighting bravely) at Mariupol

Get up to date, the Azov Brigade has been long restored and rearmed. They have new members and they trained them already.
Do you see no distinction between

* downloading and transforming a document for one's own consumption (as with e.g. ad blockers)

and

* rehosting it with no permission from the writer?
That's interesting, I'd never heard that before. Do you have suggestions for what to Google to turn up articles? I'm just turning up more recent issues and some smaller-time stuff.
The burden overall is with the prosecution. Any given piece of evidence can be weighed independently by the jury. For instance, the prosecutor can call 100 eye witnesses and isn't required to prove each is correct beyond the shadow of a doubt. The defense can argue it's a conspiracy, but they will need to supply some evidence, not just assert it and say "you couldn't prove 100 people didn't conspire"
> I wish there was as nice a library for cascading style sheets in terminal apps, but we can't have it all.

In Python we have Will McGugan's "Textual" framework which supports a form of CSS designed specifically for terminal apps.
Yeah, reasonable doubt applies in "well maybe aliens completely replaced the body and mind of this person before he did this thing recorded on fifteen different phones."

Arguing that a video randomly was deepfaked would go a lot further if you could show other evidence that such was happening.
Lets use another example to say why it's misleading, even if it's true.

> The US is arming Nazis and Nationalists inside of the United States.

This statement is true. There are Nazis and Nationalists inside of the US Military and inside of various police departments.

This statement is also misleading. It implies that we're giving arms directly to nazis and nationalist, rather than it being a byproduct of poor screening. It also implies that we're doing this on purpose, but that isn't the case.

Now lets try the same thing with Ukraine. If you look at the infamous Azoz battle group you will find nazis. Therefore, it is true that we're arming nazis. However, you'll also find muslims, jews, and other groups that are decidedly not nazi. At the same time the Wagner group, which is on the Russian side of things, has a lot of nazi and nationalist inside.

So yes, the statement is true, but it also misleading. It tries to make a simple point, when the reality is far more nuanced. It's just not a good faith argument because it's made to push people into believing something that isn't true- namely that ukraine is a nazi/ultranationalist hotbed that we're arming, while russia is trying to fight off the nazi threat. This is propeganda that Russia has been pushing for over a year now, but anyone who looks at the situation can see a nazi threat on the russian side and a bunch of people defending their homes on the other.
You think "big teams are doomed, small teams are the future" is very kind to engineers who are under constant pressure to justify their existence in an Elonified tech sector?

"See, he fired 90% of the company and Twitter is doing just fine!" (ignoring he can't ship any major feature, and also we have bugs and outages every week). "We should do the same, big teams are doomed, small teams are the future."

Meanwhile, I'm really "being aggressive" by saying "I'd be really happy if we stop propagandazing this tech bro BS [...] and start respecting the work of our colleagues."

I suppose aggression is in the eye of the beholder in this case. Geohot was extremely dismissive and arrogant when he joined Twitter, which prompted me to explore what's his actual background (myths aside) and what I found was a lot of Geohot air and nothing else.

It's always the people who never had to build something significant who always have the most cocky armchair advice for those who do, funny that.

If you're victim of this advice, I urge you that we recall our common sense, instead of propagating this toxicity further.
I had to Google it... Yeah, not something you want to have to explain in an interview.

Doesn't matter what Cory Doctorow's affiliation (or anybody's affiliation) is - if they can use it, they will.

It's not as if they need his express permission, or for him to make a comment.

Heck, they'll use NIN (Nine Inch Nails) songs and lyrics as justification of pro-government propaganda, to use one example.
While many of our freedoms have been restored, it is important to recognize that we have also normalized certain forms of government overreach, which may have lasting implications on our liberties in the future. Some of the measures that were introduced include:

- Travel restrictions

- Device-level and biological surveillance

- Mandatory injections/vaccinations

- Suppression of dissent

- Stigmatizing individuals with pre-existing conditions

- Disallowing human contact

- Imposing what is effectively house arrest on a very large part of the population (self isolating)

These unprecedented measures have significantly eroded personal autonomy, and, unfortunately, we have not seen much pushback against them.

I am not necessarily arguing against the effectiveness of these measures in dealing with global crises. However, it is crucial that we remain vigilant and aware of the potential "boiling frog" situation with our freedoms. As a result of the normalization of these measures, we may find ourselves facing mandatory isolation, testing, tracking, surveillance, and travel restrictions more frequently in the future.

Indeed, if we were to look back just a decade ago, the idea of governments exercising such extensive control would have seemed unimaginable to many. Now, I can imagine governments doing this again, even for crises other than global pandemics.
CNLP had variable-length addresses. I wonder what the world would look like with variable-length addresses.
Some fans are disappointed that Valve doesn't develop many new games, which they don't need to since they get so much money just from running Steam
Unless a huge social change also follows this up, you will just create a huge hungry crowd that will overthrow the current regime that way.

The harsh truth is, with more automation many people simply won’t be able to productively contribute to the economy. Yet we all deserve to live a comfortable life (hopefully that’s not controversial).
Here's a VOX video about this problem, pretty cool! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asLWBGtAhZk
I like Scheme, but prefer Common Lisp for its environments and the old-school feel of the language.

Good things don't come alone: R5RS, R6RS, R7RS, RNRS + SRFI X..Y, IEEE Scheme, Racket, ...

That's a form of self-deprecating humor, if you missed it. There are many more funny index entries in CLtL. The core designers did not take themselves too serious. Especially Guy L Steele.

For example Dave Moon said about the search for a name for the language:

"...whatever we call this common Lisp" and this time, among great sadness and consternation that a better name could not be had, it was selected."
So you are saying Intel should plow its profits into expanding into crowded, low-margin markets?
I've seen a few 'old boys clubs' form, and the conclusion I've come to over time is that a large part of this is due to two characteristics. The first is that it's very hard to find credible talent. Think about the people you've worked with - there's probably 100+ or so of them, yes? Now think of how many of them you think are really exceptionally good. Probably only a few, even amongst people with the same role, and it likely took you quite a while to realise that. So, when you come to hire someone, you look at your network, because you've worked with a lot of people, and have opinions on who is and is not good. You simply have more information. The second is that once in a more senior role, it's much harder to judge whether a peer is doing a good job or not, because you don't see a lot of their work and you're likely more reliant on self reported state of world. That tends to weaken your decision making ability on the above, while heightening the importance of doing it correctly. Neither of those things are excuses, but they're certainly reasons. I think it's relatively straightforward to find incompetent executives who've wasted money and who are known for this.
Yes. Packets contain a connection identifier, so the connection can continue were it left off when the client switches ip.
Most owners of Intel do work. Many people in this thread co-own Intel and also have a job.
I feel like

CEO/board/executives initiate "we want to lay off X people", they send it down the ladder through management. One manager says to another "hey, you have to pick at least 2 people you want to lay off" for example.

I don't know how important/critical you are in the grand scheme of things if your manager selected to choose you instead of somebody else on the team.

That's all if your manager doesn't also get scrapped/if a manager above your manager didn't choose your entire team to get scrapped, etc.
I think there have been times in the past were dividends were thought to be conditioned on the company performing well. Say not having to lay off people. I recognize there are other ways to think about the situation, but I think it definitely isn't clear to me that there should be any dividend while a company is losing money and literally being forced to fire people
> I think attestation is harmful and should never have been part of the spec.

I agree. That it's part of the spec makes me nervous about the spec.
I don’t get the LaTeX thing — won’t recruiters and managers just print your LinkedIn to PDF if they need to pass it around in hardcopy form?
In this new process, it's not the cement (by its classical definition) that is cured by the CO2 in the air, it's the calcium-enriched biochar. Thus the cement part is still sturdy, and the biochar part avoids making it flimsy because this calcium treatment enhances its binding with the cement.

It looks like the main problem with previous experiments with biochar added in cement was that the biochar did not bind well, making a crumbling result, but this article is about solving precisely that.
How is it better? Seems to me the client is about the same as it ever was, which is another way of saying stagnant. Only the games have changed, and they don't make the games.
Trains provide a different service, which is to move people from one hub to another. Cars take you from a precise location to another precise location. Some people who use cars can easily switch to trains (if their travel locations are close enough to train stops, and they are able-bodied enough to be able to get themselves the last mile). But for many people, especially in spread out areas, trains are not an especially good substitute for cars in the short or medium run.
It's unlikely that a corpse files suit to protect their constitutional rights, of which no one is aware were violated in the first place.
