Feel free to hold fiat paper. I'm sure inflation won't come to your country. I just ask that you allow me to make my own decisions in peace.
To expand on this, generally if you have an itemized insurance rider for personal property on your homeowner's insurance or renter's insurance, everything is covered, but anything stored offsite such as a storage unit or safe deposit box is only insured to a small percentage (10% or less usually) of the total general unscheduled property coverage and cannot be covered with a scheduled/itemized rider. This combined with the shady way banks treat safe deposit boxes means that ironically in the case of /anything/ short of a flood or fire, you are better off having a safe at home vs a safe deposit box, even for insurables like guns/jewelry/collectibles.

A safe deposit box /might/ be marginally better for backup drives and paperwork simply because it's offsite, but a 3-2-1 (one is none, 2 is one) policy/process is better. This really sucks for paperwork because the government is stupid and usually only the actual original matters (e.g. signed marriage license or birth certificate) and certified copies aren't sufficient.

I HIGHLY recommend anyone who wants to be an actual responsible adult to buy a /real/ safe for their home and stick the things that will utterly destroy their life if they're lost/stolen/destroyed into that safe, and keep a spare key/combo to it with whoever is the executor of their will/estate. Nearly every person in America over the age of 30 has tens of thousands of dollars in valuables worth protecting, they just may not think of it as that. It's something like the deed to your house & the associated title and mortgage paperwork, your car titles, insurance policy information for valuables, your marriage license, your passport & birth certificate or other identifying documents, etc. This stuff is absolutely worth protecting, and the dinky "document safe" for $30 at Walmart isn't going to do jack shit.

EDIT: Edit to add that a real safe doesn't have to be $35k. I bought a huge safe when I did it. If you want a small fire-rated Class B TL-30 safe that weighs in the neighborhood of 500-800 pounds, can hold most things other than rifles/shotguns/long-guns, you can find something decent for less than $5k without much trouble, which is around what it costs for a "nicer" "gun safe" at bass pro anyway.
I've heard back from emailing, but it's useless. They say, "take screen shots". Of WHAT? Of it saying, "it's failed"? There's no error code, nothing. As other posters in thread have said, we're a technical crowd (for me 30+ years in IT, and 15+ at FAANG) and we can't get this crap to work. I think it's WAI – they want us to repurchase.

(For the record, for me, it'll be like 10th time I've bought it, so it's working for MSFT. [The first time I bought it was 5$ to Notch's PP account.])

I needed a sample LaTeX vita file in the early 1980's. I had logins on various math department servers, so I searched from root on each machine, and decided to base my vita on David Mumford's vita source file.

That says something about privacy in the era. I felt that what I did was entirely in the spirit of the default file permissions. Various people were nevertheless horrified when they learned that this search was even possible.
> The 68030 does look like a curious choice for a machine launched in 1988.

GP is exaggerating. Spark and MIPS were more expensive machines for a different market NeXT wanted a toe in but was merely straddling; business and education were NeXT's target markets. The 68030 with a math coprocessor was bleeding edge in 1988. Sun released a 20MHz and 33MHz 68030 Sun-3x in 1989, a SunOS (UNIX) workstation.[1] Apple released the 68030 Mac SE/30 (16MHz) in Jan. 1989. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the 68030 in 1988/1989. If anything, NeXT was a little fast out of the gate with the 25MHz 68030 in 1988.

Sure, it's a privilege, but the privilege does not exist for the benefit of its employees.

> What purpose an organization turns it's work to is up to the people who make the decisions, and varied.

Just because they can do certain things does not mean it's ethical. Employees themselves are agents, not principals - employees making decisions to enrich themselves at the expense of actual owners is highly problematic from an ethical standpoint.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be confusing the fact that employees acting for the benefit of shareholders is not strictly enforceable and the benefit itself does not have to be monetary in nature with the idea that employees can do whatever they want with the power that they have. This is simply not the case - sure, employees don't have to maximize for the short-term profits or stock price, or even in some cases, companies can be mission-driven, with a long-term mission that's prioritized ahead of profit-maximizing.

None of this means it's reasonable to make a decision to hold on to employees for the employees' benefits, rather than the corporation's benefit, except to the extent that it helps the long-term mission of the company.
I'm not sure I understand the first point. I am nearly 50, and still remember broadcast tv... so the idea that some tv shows ultimately derive revenue from advertising (sweeps month!) is not unfamiliar. But for a platform like Netflix where (hopefully?! dunno, I use Plex) revenue is ultimately derived from subscriptions, how should that be different? The writers don't give a shit about the original source of revenue, just that they get their cut.

Are residuals closely tied to how well the ad dollars flow? If someone buys a sitcom for re-runs, and the dish detergent manufacturers and Chrysler refuse to put ads on during those re-runs, do the writers get less (or no) residuals?

"I can not say, if it is a loose connection, a faulty plug or if my handling was too rough. It could be that all cables arrived fine, and I damaged the cables during my usage. But to be honest, I don’t care."

That doesn't seem a good test, aside the fact that the RG316 is a quite a lossy cable, Chinese or not.
I'm guessing you're ignoring the evidence that's been presented by different groups chaining tools together already.
No, the CIA is one of the most evil and dangerous organizations on Earth.

Try this lens: dragonflies are one of nature's most incredible predators, with a 90-97% success rate of hunts. The precise data varies, but almost all more complex animals have a dramatically lower success rate. Well, so what? Harbour porpoises have a ~90% success rate, too.

It's interesting because dragonflies only have about 10,000 neurons, whereas harbour porpoises have like 14 and a half billion. Slime molds aren't meaningfully intelligent at all, but they can work out problems our primate brains had to work quite a long time to systematize. This suggests, to me at least, that dragonflies and slime molds are worthy of further consideration.

...that said, I try not to read the popsci articles about either.

Yes (unless you're employed at Intel). Not sure what's your point though.
Remember that these bigcos have tens of thousands of salaried employees, and those employees all get stock options. A bigco CEO might no longer be motivated by personal gain, nor by public reputation; but rather, by private reputation, within their own company, among their employees.

After all, their employees — especially the executives — are the group of people a CEO is surrounded by every working day. So, assuming they're neither a sociopath nor an Effective Altruist, why wouldn't they feel a strong empathetic desire to "help" the people right in front of them?

And presuming they want to help those people, why wouldn't they then conclude that the best, most scalable way they have to do that, is to make sure that those people are all set for life by holding high-value amounts of company stock; and that the most comparative-advantage-y way the CEO has of accomplishing that, is to make the share price go up?

Or, to put that another way: a pirate captain doesn't go home once they're personally rich. They made a (perhaps unstated) agreement with their crew: they won't go home until everyone is rich, and they can all comfortably retire. Until then, they'll continue to exploit others for their own gain.
> Does minutes watched make sense? Should it be normalized by account, rather than overall time? etc ...

And then incentivize people to leave their netflix accounts watching shows while they are away or whatever for pennies to recoup some of their monthly sub fees. If the royalties are enough, it would seem possible to instead just farm views for profit at netflix expense, on top of royalties, who then passes on the cost. Seems like a losing game all around
I won't recommend any specific books, as I don't consider myself enough of a maths expert to have any standing to do so. But what I will suggest is to give the Youtube channel "The Math Sorcerer"[1] a look. He does a LOT of book reviews, talks a lot about self-study, and most of his book reviews include a pretty big focus on which books are or are not really good for self-study.

I don't know, about the requirement of smoke to be a horror story. I have been in my own cabling hell, and no smoke was ever present. Cabling issues can be tricky, especially when they are intermittent. Everything works except when you sit in a chair. That chair with weight puts pressure on something that then squeezes something else. Specific example of something that happened.

I've managed post production facilities where there were thousands of cables running in multiples to/from various pieces of gear. You can pre-terminate, test, label all at a work bench with whatever test equipment you like, but once you start running the cables in, through, under, over other cables, plumbing, etc, things can just get weird.
year 4 of my startup. we've been remote since before covid. The only downside is that its much harder to onboard engineers. especially juniors. But thats on your senior engineers to put more emphasis on mentoring and onboarding someone as they get into the codebase.

And its not like there aren't clear benefits. you can hire amazing people and let them work where they are happy. happy workers are more dedicated.
A) Houses were cheaper back then.

B) Streaming wasn't as big back then, so TV was a much bigger part of the entertainment pie.

C) The show was profitable for FOX (at the time).

C) Truly bizarre that people on a forum bragging about making well into the 6 figures for 30 hours of work a week reinventing yet another wheel are talking shit about other people making 6 figures for 60 hours of work a week on a product regularly enjoyed by millions of people and which contribute to the progression of shared cultural experiences.

Surprisingly similar to Darwinist capitalism.
This is indeed the case and one can argue that it makes sense for a small company to focus on the MVP and initial growth. But every such decision needs to be reexamined from time to time as the company scales up. That is unpleasant, requires an expert, so many businesses procrastinate on this and make expensive mistakes. My 2c.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand you.

It sounds like what you are saying is that the AI cannot write code which would do something it hasn’t seen in the training set. That is how I interpreted the “it has learnt to do no more than what the existing code can do”. Do i understand you right?

If so, how do you know that? Are you talking about the limitations of a particular implementation or a limitation of all AIs as a concept?
Ive worked in sales for over 10 years. Incel is a weird insult for salespeople, as I've never met a group of people that sleeps around more than salespeople. I spent years selling cars even, and if you bring a gf or wife you're having trouble with to go car shopping... Odds of her later sleeping with the car salesman are not zero to put it mildly.

What you demonstrated as the "bad example" is closer to what mathematicians have been doing recently, but they would use natLog, ratCir, and im as variable names instead inside of a function called gnl() and offer no comments as to what any of it means.

From what I have seen, they should likely be putting their code into ChatGPT and asking it to clean it up because it does a better job of writing functions with properly named variables.
Not saying I support this, because losing work sucks, but shareholders are the ones that own the company - the C suite is just there to run it on their behalf.

If shareholders think that firing a bunch of people to “eliminate waste” and pulling capital from the company in the form dividends to reinvest elsewhere is the way to maximise their returns (as a whole) then that’s what will happen.
I may be in the minority here, but while I empathize with you over the indignity of it I don't think this would be a slam-dunk case for you unless their agent just doesn't bother to show.

You paid them to serve ads. They presumably served the ads as promised, and your store is currently benefiting from the ads. "But I didn't want them" doesn't get you far when you previously signed a recurrent-billing contract.

If this gets all the way to a judge, on paper, it'll look like you just failed to stop service. You'll argue it was impossible. They'll reply with "you could have gone to [some form on some obscure page]" to cancel. The icing on the cake will be "you would have known if you read the terms and conditions you signed."

Skip that humiliation and re-read the terms and conditions to see if there's some specific rain dance you have to do to end the contract.

If nobody here can work some magic on your behalf, I would suggest you cancel your credit card and cut your losses ($300 is less than a speeding ticket or runaway AWS bill). The time involved in filing and the mere cost of parking at the courthouse once or twice is going to claim a chunk of that anyway, if you win.

If you're really bitter, file chargebacks. You can always bypass blacklists by playing at synthetic identity fraud (start using androgynous nicknames for yourself, typoed versions of your last name and addresses of friends/family on all future applications for anything to fuzz the credit bureaus).

There's a reason everything is now subscription-based with an obfuscated cancellation process-- we've found a way to institutionalize negative option billing. Welcome to America.

Embeddings-based search is a nice improvement on search, but it's still search. Relative to ChatGPT answering on its training data, I find embeddings-based search to be severely lacking. The right comparison is to traditional search, where it becomes favorable.

It has the same advantages search has over ChatGPT (being able to cite sources, being quite unlikely to hallucinate) and it has some of the advantages ChatGPT has over search (not needing exact query) - but in my experience it's not really in the new category of information discovery that ChatGPT introduced us to.

Maybe with more context I'll change my tune, but it's very much at the whim of the context retrieval finding everything you need to answer the query. That's easy for stuff that search is already good at, and so provides a better interface for search. But it's hard for stuff that search isn't good at, because, well: it's search.
I would argue it's a much easier blank check to write than for consultants. Software complexity over time is a major headache and new initiatives happen all the time.

Take for instance GDPR - in AWS it was a company wide effort to get all the services GDPR compliant and that was basically a non-existent pricing change to consumers.

Also the fact that I can call up AWS support and have them look into a bug immediately with real devs on the other end is invaluable when my business needs rely on a certain feature working.

This looks amazing. Can anyone talk about the added overhead of this? I'm assuming having to bundle all of Node.js/V8 in your executable is one of them. Plus extra processing to re-render the tree for changes.

I'm wondering if this is worth it to use for very simple CLI scenarios that can be addressed by more lightweight libraries like Cobra. Maybe so your client-side business logic can stay more unified?

It's also really funny to me that what is considered the absolute simplest use case in programming – write a program that outputs a line of text to the console – is still not free from the Node/npm/React experience.

Sooo, apparently in a clean browser without extensions this does not happen. I tracked down this to a problem with Vimium [0], when I disable it the webpage displays correctly.

Essentially, the issue is that Vimium's stylesheet also set the --fg variable. While your website sets it to #000000 or something like that, Vimium sets it to #FFFFFF and for some reason that interferes with the webpage. Alas, one more reason for me to stay with SCSS haha.

Even more interesting is that the same issue does not happen on a Chromium browser with Vimium with the exact same stylesheet, meaning the global stylesheet pollution only happens on Firefox.

Anyway, I would say this is not a problem with your website but rather with my (beautiful) Vimium stylesheet [1]. Still, you could fix this issue by converting these CSS variables to SCSS ones, so they are hard-coded variables on runtime, or perhaps by using !important to make sure it's not overwritten.

The stylesheet I'm using is not the default but rather a fork of a pretty specific one, so I'll also make the changes there to stop using CSS variables.

By the way, since you asked I'm running Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit), Red Hat fedora - 1.0 build, although it's not related to Firefox at all.

edit: just prefixed all css variables in the stylesheet with an identifier and everything is working now :)
