That's not a category error, its a trivial characterization based upon the marketing term used to advertise the kind of service and is not a legal argument in the slightest.
I mean if the OED allows for a metaphorical or hyperbolical meaning, I think you're fighting a literal uphill battle.
I'm patiently waiting for Bitwarden to implement passkey support. The ability to self-host the key synchronisation/generation mechanism is the biggest blocker for me right now.

Paging Anna & the perfidious BRICs
I Remoted/Teamviewered into a Windows XP laptop a few years ago form my Windows 10 work PC. And WOW the XP machine was so fast. They installed XP on a new-ish Intel i3 and 4GB RAM for some reason, probably old software. And the UI just flew, so smooth, even over Teamviewer.

They wanted it on corp wifi however... that was a no-go
About 40% of electricity comes from hydro in Sweden, which means that 20% of wind (solar is negligible) means we're 1/3 the way of transitioning.

PS. Nuclear is 20-30% so we're almost carbon free already. We're also a net exporter. Lots of new energy intense industries being built + nuclear shutting down (mainly due to old age) means it's a big challenge still ahead though.
I'm in exec role at a 100-200 person east coast startup with significant YOE (both as IC and as an exec). My own comp, including bonus, is close to $300k. Most of our SWE roles are in the range of $165-200k salary & bonus, plus equity. It's been a very rare occurrence to have an offer turned down because of money.

I came from larger companies (including a FAANG), and compensation there (salary, bonus, and RSUs) ranged from 1.5-3x my current compensation. Most of the people on my teams were in the $250k-300k range, with a few others at least doubling that. Some amount of that was driven by stock appreciation in a bull market.

The money's definitely out there, especially at higher levels in public companies.

So you have an employer paying tens of thousands a year to get you health insurance, leading to a situation where only the most well off can have access to healthcare.

I will add my highly opinionated and highly unpopular opinion as I often do.

I think it depends. I think it should be considered group-by-group and if the group is keeping everything patched, secure and not having security incidents then they get admin. a.k.a. trust-but-verify. If a group is not doing the bare minimum then, no. Liability must be on directors and above to keep each teams environments secure and there must be ramifications for leadership if they fall short of the bare minimum standards. This must include legal contractual obligations that are tied to stock, bonuses, both positive and negative. Do great things, be awarded great things. The companies SOC1/2, PCI and other documentation around audited controls must reflect this arrangement.

Each team or group must have security stats with their directors name by it if the goal is to open things up. But having a blanket yes/no company wide is a many-edged sword and will put the company in the bad spotlight either way. Too locked down? People will find creative ways in 3... 2... 1... and then you end up with a non-standard junk-yard in no time and you lose your most creative and intelligent people. Too open company wide and people will just do what people can do and Clippy will be embedded in every piece of software. i.e. malicious software modules

My personal preference would be to ensure everyone has plenty of RAM and CPU power then deploy a standard and widely accepted hypervisor that should meet the needs of most teams and let them deploy VM's. This hypervisor should be entirely capable of being driven by automation. Anything they do in their VM's or containers within their VM's must be 100% reproducible in the cloud(s) and in the data-center(s).

For teams that handle highly sensitive material, they get access to a compartmentalized Citrix farm or something like it. Maybe call it The Clean Room.

Every system and environment must have extensive auditing so that mishaps can be traced back to find the root cause and remediated. Any system missing the auditing must alert the security operation center and they must find out how that node obtained network access.

Central business districts were created by trains which let people move to suburbs; then hung around for a while due to concentration of office effects even as many commuters moved to cars. Interesting tho think about what transit looks like in a world without them. Public transit would need to move more away from the hub/spoke model, which possibly dooms new rail construction in existing car-centric cities; busses already go much more point to point with a lot more route options, but if you have less commuters, do those fail to maintain their current timetables as well?
Clever. Unfortunately, protection is trivial, and making it work if there is a safeguard would require having access to the recruiter's model and a lot of prompt hacking.

Aw man, sorry to hear this about your friend. Inanimate objects are directly subject to the laws of physics, but living beings that have intention and will are able to circumvent those. For example, I can jump despite gravity existing. Yes, "in the long run, we're all dead", but applying laws of entropy as a reason to not live seems indicative of a lack of will, rather than a natural law every being must follow.
I meant GF(q) to be the general finite field, i.e. GF(p^m) for prime p, and n >= 1

The multiplicative group of a finite field is always cyclic of order one less than the order of the field.

What's more interesting to ask is what happens when you're working over GF(q) and want to do evaluate polynomials of length N, if N does not divide q-1? You see, the Fourier transform needs a primitive Nth root of unity to work, but in GF(q) there's no Nth root of unity if N doesn't divide q-1.

Maybe if we extend the polynomial with zero coefficients we can upgrade our Fourier transform from length N < q-1 to length q-1? It sounds workable. But is there a similar trick for Lagrange interpolation?

More rare, is finding folks that can honestly admit to having beaten it. I picked up the "game and watch" recently, and I can't remember crap about how to make progress in that game. It is really really hard to remember where to go next.

In my mind it's where we get the most stuff that we couldn't get elsewhere. Sure, we can harvest more or less hardwood, or import more or less from Canada, Sure, if we have issues with Guatemala we can buy our t-shirts from somewhere else. But if we want the devices that our information economy requires, there seems to be no where else to build them. Apple's attempts to build iPhones in India for example: https://www.firstpost.com/world/apples-india-production-face...
Well it's not that they didn't pay this time... they did not have the right to use that work because the license for the Warhol works was for the one time initial use on the cover of the magazine. But that wasn't really the issue. The issue was whether or not the commercial use of the work for, essentially the same purpose (depicting Prince on the cover of a magazine) could be "transformative".
To be clear as to my own viewpoint: I agree. I am simply curious as to how others feel (a) about the subject itself and (b) how they handle the topic in discussions with friends/colleagues.
I doubt it, since the Warhol work here has strong similarities to another one, while text-to-image models only directly reproduce existing art when something occurs as multiple (close) duplicates in the training data. Which can be quite easily avoided, like using a vector database to filter for similar items before training.
They also make you take off synthetic jackets for the same reason. Apparently alot of people have had to do extra paperwork over the years because of their patagonia grabbing radon.
In my experience, the hardest part of developing with eBPF is dealing with the multiple kernel versions and configurations that the target machines may have. It's a challenge not only because eBPF features were added gradually but because the internal data structures are not stable. While CO-RE finally makes it possible to be offset agnostic and allows for dealing with things like missing struct members, it's still very much a game of finding out when the code is deployed in the wild. Unit testing is important but I long for a way to easily test across a large matrix of kernel versions/configs (here at EdgeBit, we would be happy to pay for such a service).
> Working in offices has always been fairly terrible, and had been growing increasingly terrible over the last decade or two.

Offices don't have to be terrible. IBM, GE, Bell, etc. knew how to put together offices that didn't suck. Occasionally the architects got out of hand and produced some monstrosity, but the offices were mostly fine.

It's only the whole dumbass "open office plan" bullshit that made everything suck. Given that's the "standard", is it any wonder everybody wants to work from home?
I understand why certain tech companies such as Google/MSFT or chemical research companies like Pfizer or defense companies like Lockheed have quantum computers.

Why are these being sold for personal use? Running Shor's algorithm probably gets boring after the second or third time.

Plus, this machine simulates up to 8 qubits - what's the point of something that small?

Sorry for your loss. That must be difficult to go through.

I don’t think that analogies from physics are always helpful. But the encouraging thing about entropy is that you can lower it by spending energy. And that seems to be a very apt analogy for living.

Doesn’t help when you are depressed though, because spending energy is then the last thing you want, even though you full well know how this is hurting you.
It was a picture of Prince, modified by coloring and outlining. But it's use (selling it) was again to represent Prince, for commerce, not some other subtle meaning/parody/social commentary. I can see the argument in favor of the photographer.
Scale and topology. That's the difference between ANNs of the 90s and 00s and today. They're still based on the same fundamental principles and doing (modulo scale) the same fundamental things: classification, prediction, generation.

> Brute forcing is the basis of evolution.

The goal function of animal intelligence is very different from the goal function of model training.

> The algorithm running inside the head of the mouse is the survivor of a million iterative generations as the species brute-forced the entire "get to the food" survival problem.

That’s my entire point. There are problems beyond “get the food.” Said differently, the fact that computers aren’t good at “get the food” is not a strong criticism of computers. It just means their goal functions are different.

I didn’t say computers are “better,” just that they have a fundamentally different approach to problem solving that may end up being better. It will probably end up being complimentary! This isn’t either or; AI is a tool built by humans to expand their own capabilities.

> I encourage those touting computers as something new to comprehend the concept of deep time, that no matter how many of times you run simulations, the natural world has almost certainly run more.

And yet no animal figures out how to evolve wheels to move faster.

The entire point I’m making is that, sure it’s hard to make computers do certain things (like walk on two legs), but there are plenty of different avenues to achieve things.

I encourage evolution maximalists to think a lot more about how engineered and complex the world around them is.

Very cool, but curious if you see people actually directly interacting with LLMs vs in a script as part of a larger application? I see myself needing debugging, visualizing output etc. so much that an IDE makes more sense to me as an interface, so want to learn about cases where that doesn't.
Well, usually I have to decide between „do I look up the magic incantation to install bash in this container and risk fucking up the layer cache“ or „do I modify this script to not use bash-isms and feel like I’m a Unix purist in the process“, and the answer is the latter usually

>You can buy and play Windows XP era games on Steam and run them just great on Windows 10/11.

Or older (pre-Steam) games in a virtual machine.

Hyper-V comes with Pro versions of Windows. VMWare has a Player that is also free (plus there's full Workstation). There's also VirtualBox, which sometimes is the packaged solution for very old titles sold on platforms like GOG. Never mind the solutions for Mac OS, Linux and BSD.

Recently my jam is going back to 1994 and playing a game from the Windows 3.1/Windows 95 transition era, rife with 16-bit libraries -- Mordor: The Depths of Dejenol. A game in which it was likely a lot of older folks here played the crap out of the demo, but never bought the game because it involved sending a check in the mail -- and because even the demo could provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Though you can legitimately buy it online from its current IP owner for about $10 (more if you want a boxed copy!), and it's just as fun as I remember it 30 years ago.

And setting it up in a virtual machine? Very straightforward, save for digging up some third-party audio library the game wanted. I actually just have a 40GB Windows XP VM I just maintain with all my old games from DOS and Windows 3.1 through 2002 or so. I can move it between hypervisors, between host OSes, etc. Just works. All my old games always ready to go.
