As someone who worked professionally on a c++ application for two years around 2010, I took c++ off my resume. C++ is the ultimate "stump the chump" language with tons of corner cases and esoteric gotchas. I hated it and I hate interviewers who do this. You all can have it.

The reality is, in my area, Java enterprise development pays a lot more. I'm sure this is the case in plenty of other areas as well. Surprising but true.
I don't find Python stack traces to be intuitive for some reason.

This project looks great! It would be even better without surrounding "locals" with a box in my humble opinion.
I feel like it's obvious? They want 3rd party apps to stay in some reasonable capacity. The definition of reasonable can vary, (free - low cost API usage), but it's not that important.

Moderation. In public forums, everything else is trivial and moderation is the invisible stinking hairy elephant in the room. To the question "why isn't there a decentralized open protocol free software X" the answer is moderation. Think or it as the discreet but efficient bouncers without which a sufficiently popular public place cannot maintain a welcoming atmosphere. Newsgroups became sufficiently popular, death by inadequate moderation ensued.
The figure I saw most recently was 42%. Weirdly my brain can remember the number but not where I saw it.

But what I'm curious about, whichever number is true, is whether people mean "malicious bots" when they say this, or just any kind of autonomous agent. And also whether they are counting volume of data or simply network requests.

Because if by "bot" they just mean "autonomous agent making a network request" then honestly I'm surprised the number isn't higher, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Every search crawler, every service detector, all the financial bots, every smart device (which is now every device) and a thousand other more or less legitimate uses.

Excel still doesn't have any way of doing unit tests or confirming that the content is valid and as it should.

For example: you can have an Excel file with 100k lines and have a formula accidentally replaced by a static number on line 87456. Nobody will ever find it.
Assignment is more common than equality. Typing two identical sequential characters "==" is much easier than typing ":=" especially since on most keywords colon requires shift and equal does not. And having a two-character equality operator helps align things with "!=", ">=", "<=".
Vernor Vinge was wrong about humanity's vile offspring being stock trading bots, and the sci-fi authors were wrong about Grey Goo being a nanobot scenario.

They keep talking about how Ukrainians aren't real people or a real country and that they will quote "kill as many Ukrainians" as it takes.

Sounds like genocide to me.
its sad to see such hand-crafted communities organize so well only to be ignored by the website they communicate over. and this happens with the stackexchange a lot..

sounds like an excellent time to make an alternative
It's crazy that the programming community even accepted the concept of async/await as a sane one.

Being sync or async is essentially a property of the attention of the caller, not of the action itself. Is "eating a donut" a sync or async action? If I'm focusing all my attention on it, essentially putting all tasks aside (after) - then it's a synchronous action. If I'm reading a book/watching a video/walking/etc, while eating – it's an async action.

How does "func EatADonut() async {}" aka "eating a donut is an inherently async action" even make sense to people?
I think it's probably because users paying to be able to use third party clients can't be sold as growth potential — it's a relatively static number, and they're paying for an entirely static experience. They don't want whatever gimmick Reddit is pushing at the moment (like NFT avatars), they want their simple chronological feed and that's it. The limit of worth for those users is the subscription they're paying, whereas if they're using the official app they're theoretically monetizable in N different ways.
Anybody have a good list of suggestions on pre verification strategies and is this a big problem when you run thirty day free trials?

The design language follows all modern social media apps: engagement. Think TikTok. This means auto-playing videos, large elements instead of small elements (low information density) designed to draw attention, prioritising popular and contentious items in the feed instead of relevant items for the user, etc. This language is user-hostile. It uses psychological techniques to keep users on the platform for longer instead of presenting the information which they actually want.

There are technical issues too. Many users report issues playing videos and gifs.

Finally, the Reddit app serves ads.
They are the same problem, what do people think LLM is trained on.

"clickbait, "native content", clout-chasing, undisclosed sponsorship, and other such pathologies" is exactly the data set they used to train ChatGPT
I agree but I wish the proponents of right to repair would ditch the e-waste message. Look around. We are drowning in throwaway junk products. The consumer obviously doesn't care. A better message would be that right to repair will save you money! Your things last longer and retain their resale value for longer. Now you're speaking my language!

> We are building communities on closed platforms that we don’t control. We need to move from Feudalism to a Free Market

A free market literally overrun by Nazis is what that means in the end. It's best seen on all the Twitter clone attempts that marketed themselves as "free speech" alternatives - most notably Parler, Gab and Truth Social: they all ended up being echo chambers of Nazis, where no one but them would want to hang out. The "board scene" had similar moments... from OG 4chan to 8chan and others, as soon as the current "hot" platform began to moderate away the worst of the worst (usually due to some terrorist focusing the police and general public spotlight on it), they simply moved away.

The other way, federation of instances like with Mastodon, has a different problem set: while Nazi, CSAM and otherwise problematic instances get cut off from the larger instances, discovery absolutely sucks compared to the elephant (or rather, bird) in the room - there's no way to run "trending topic" campaigns, which was the feature that made Twitter so successful among protesters and dissidents: it allowed them to easily reach a global audience to put a spotlight on government abuses.

The solution to go forward is what the EU is doing with the DSA/DMA: allow big, centralized platforms, and force the operators to adhere to a common baseline of moderation standards.

Lots of other people think that, but I disagree.

Have you tried getting great, repeatable results out of an LLM? It requires great depth of knowledge - about both how LLMs work and the specific topic you are trying to build against - plus a methodical process in figuring out what works and what doesn't.

I see no reason not to label that "engineering".

I also think it's important to distinguish between prompting and prompt engineering. Prompting is when people type prompts in a box. Prompt engineering, by my own definition, is when developers build further software on top of LLMs.
What you are looking for is "Curtain Mode."

Some VNC clients support this feature. ARD is one, Screens is another I'm familiar with.

Curtain mode keeps the remote system's display and keyboard locked and uncontrollable, and thus secured.
Would something like similar for visual LLMs like Midjourney
Under what circumstances do you believe someone is to be fired from their job? I'm sure you will be able to argue that some forms of speech can fit that bill in some circumstances.

Edit: I find it a little funny that all the examples at the top of this page ( godaddy, aunt jemima, urban outfitters and the like) are all still in operation, so I don't know how cancelled they got?

All these stories sure sound like customers deciding to bring their business elsewhere after public relations debacles. This is not free speech related - it's just the free market baby

And either way the lede is being buried here.

The Brexit leaders were just going around lying and telling everyone what they wanted to hear.

The broader public was being told immigration would be reduced (now that’s not happening, they’re trying to shift the focus to “small boats” but polls are showing that’s clearly not working). Curry shop owners were told it would increase immigration to the people they wanted. But the only reason we know this because it’s an in depth article about curry shops. So we found this out coincidentally.

It’s likely that there’s a whole bunch of other industries that were also told XYZ type of immigration would be increased even if overall immigration was decreased.

As it turns out, the majority of those claims will turn out to be lies, and the ones that are true are coincidentally true.

This is the fundamental scam underlying Brexit. There was no plan and as a result everyone was being told whatever they wanted would be delivered through Brexit.
Also anything past the first page, will just show you crap on the first page. I use to be a power user of operators like 'site:' but agreed, it results in a captcha every other page sometimes.
Articulating a clear demand is extremely important; it demonstrates that you have some organizational capacity beyond saying no.

This is your misunderstanding. The fact that a thing was in the index does not ensure it will always be there. Things disappear from the web all the time. Serving fresh docs means not only crawling the new stuff but also deleting the unreachable stuff promptly.

What's the motivation for this sort of attack? I'm quite sure chargebacks only ever put money back into the cards from which the money originated (i.e. the stolen credit cards; not into the attacker's account), which makes it seem kinda pointless.
There are lots and lots of different social groups.

There are mean kids, and kind kids, and good schools and bad schools. There's a variety of experience here to take into account.

There are good families and bad families.

There are... variables. Yes, being a social outcast is hard. I would argue that being a social outcast involves _a lot more_ than not having access to the latest memes. That's where the misunderstanding lies.
PFAS technology was top secret WW2 research output. Then the military discovered that they had amazing properties to fight extremely dangerous fires in missile warehouses and were eventually required to use them to maximize safety decades ago.

Prozac, Lipitor, Flonase and about 30% of upcoming new pharmaceutical drugs are PFAS, so they aren't going away completely, because society has determined that they are valuable even if they can reach toxic levels if not disposed of properly (every chemical is toxic after a certain human concentration, including water).

Companies wouldn't be able to manufacture semiconductors without PFAS as well, or high temperature components for warfare.

Now that we are smarter, we know how to mitigate risk and reduce concentrating materials to keep below relevant ppb thresholds.

If America isn't educationally sophisticated enough to handle this manufacturing and risk, it will just be done in zero regulation geographies like China and the world will be worse off.

I can vouch for it! I returned to C# for a tiny desktop GUI recently. I was blown away by how simple is the tooling to create a single monolithic binary. It's great for enterprise distribution. "No more installer."
It's maybe interesting to think about a simple chat history over time giving some of the knowledge needed for improved interactions as related to the more complex patterns outlined here.

Here's a similar paper I ran across this morning: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18323. Github is here: https://github.com/billxbf/ReWOO

I indexed both documents with my own project, which uses semantic graphs to help with prompt assembly: https://github.com/FeatureBaseDB/DoctorGPT. DoctorGPT doesn't have dynamic prompt chaining yet, but I'm working on it. I hesitate posting any of the analysis of these papers using DoctorGPT here because it would be generated by the LLM, and not me...and some people seem to have an issue with that given this is a human forum.

My sense is that SKGs are important in refining questions, offering alternative approaches, managing context, reflecting on LLM responses, and more.
There was a research language that used it like that, yes, but I can’t find it now :(
A more sensible form of money rather than current fiat currencies would be some token representing like a fraction of a global (investment grade) bond portfolio. Of course central bankers wouldn't like that idea because it would limit their tools to fight inflation.
DuPont is lying. They 100% did produce these materials. We have a factory on my place from which they dump this in the river.
The difficulty is that "lots of fries = bad because it makes you fat which kills you" is kind of easy to explain, and also fairly intuitive.

"lots of Instagram = bad because subtle effects on your psyche" is much harder to understand, never mind explain. Never mind it's of course not quite that simple either.
Add it back. You know that any place like this is going to be full of people who spend all their time jerking themselves about how wonderful they are. Every place that I have interviewed where interviewers have done that has been full of people who are too maladjusted to work at a place that actually succeeds in producing anything.

> The evidence is to the contrary.

That something is not done doesn't automatically prove it's due to e.g. Middle East, or giving really old stock to Ukraine. The US is more than capable of doing multiple things at the same time. Though, yeah, the infrastructure in the US is terrible and so on. It still doesn't prove that it's due to focussing on the military. E.g. the costs for medical care is way higher than any other country. It could've been done differently, but well, that's still not due to waging a war in the Middle East.

It seems inevitable that Reddit is going to need to start hiring professional moderators. But given the difficulties in making that work economically, it would only be for the very largest subreddits. And perhaps even then, it would just be a professional lead moderator, with some volunteer help.

As it is, the only people who really want to be moderators, especially of a large subreddit, tend to be motivated by reasons other than "build a thriving community of diverse, good faith discussion."

Every big subreddit needs a dang.
It's not that difficult to argue. These businesses, whether they like it or not, are based on bedrock rules of analyzing past performance for the purposes of investment, marketing, and strategy.

That it works for all those things, but somehow not employee performance is a bizarrely inconsistent assertion to make.
That is an option, considering Reddit is charging third party developers the equivalent of ~$2.5/mo per user for API access, so the tracking argument already goes out of the window. They are already giving up control, for a very low price too, but just implementing it in the most brain dead way possible.
Telling a dog "no" is controversial? Wow.
I think we're talking past each other here: I said "but this wording makes it sound like there is a non-fringe group calling for the assassination of Putin. Do you have a source for this?" What I'm seeing from your links is a call for a war crimes trial. Maybe the mistake was mine initially for assuming "removing" a foreign leader had more ominous connotations, but I don't think I'm alone in interpreting it this way (considering what the US has done in other places).

The Gates quote is more interesting, albeit a second-hand source (instead of directly from Cheney) and about something that had occurred more than 20 years prior.

I can think of plenty of ways that sentence might be weaselly.

Maybe they "synthesized" them, not "manufactured"

Maybe they bought them from some other company (which they might happen to own)

Maybe they manufactured PFAs in general, but not the specific chemicals PFOA or PFOS (it's an awfully specific statement, after all)
On the landing page, I think a simple hero diagram would be helpful because this appears to be an uncommon approach that mashes-up familiar terms.

What does it do?
Should I care about it enough to invest more time?

I clicked "try it out" but it didn't start to answer my questions...instead it asked me questions.

Why is the link that direction? Could it be that universities, etc are anti-gun because the data shows they are harmful?

Overall I find it odd that this standard is applied this way. No one accuses Universities of being anti cancer when they publish a study on how cancer harms the body. Or for example dismissing any study on the effectiveness of a vaccine because the group doing the study are pro vaccines.
Sounds to me they want to double dip: charge you AND track you.
