> Everyone knew that everyone was faking it

I think that's what ultimately did them in - the fundamental dishonesty in the system as everyone told lies about their productivity. And this happened all the way up the reporting line, so any amount that was claimed above the plan got magnified. By the time the numbers arrived at Gosplan, Soviet farmers were the most productive in the world (despite widespread hunger).

in other words they gave her an intern who is fast but of in ferior quality that she now has to direct and moderate on top of the good quality job that she already does so that she can increase her work load for the same pay. Sounds like fun.
> Likewise, we began to "load" stuff, not "up" or "down", but to the "side".

In the early or mid 2000s, I remember using a file hosting service which advertised sideloading as a feature — by that, they meant you could paste in a URL of a file on the Web, and the service would download the file directly into your storage space, skipping the need to download to disk first then upload from there.
That’s not true at all.

I had a chance to visit oil and gas production town in Siberia slightly north of Northern Polar circle not long ago after USSR collapse. I have to say the work and life conditions there were quite good, I spare you of long anecdote comparing Yugorsk with then contemporary Moscow.
Correct, but screaming at people on the street is a being danger to society. And the choice is: should that person be prison or mandatory treatment?

I agree with others here that it should be the end-users job to handle the output in a reasonable manner which limits the breakage of things, but I think a good point is implicitly made, it is very hard to manage programs when the API is just having programs emit text that you filter somehow.
“ The super high income (radiology) jobs people are alluding to here (500k-1m) are structured as partnerships that don’t offer employer contributions”

Looks cool but most of the top stories today were from the guardian, which I already read.
Your comment is condescending against OP's parenting style.
It is difficult to control how your child perceives phones, as managing their exposure to them is impossible, especially when taking your child outside where they'll see people using them in public. They may also visit a friend whose parents let them use a phone, so again, it's an uphill battle.
To be fair, not all of us can be socially competent mentally healthy people who enjoy life and regularly stop to smell the flowers. Some of us just suck, some of us are miserable, so we have to put on a fake persona in order to entertain the other person enough for them to actually give us a chance. In a way, dating is all about entertaining and being entertained.

It's either that or stay lonely.

More so. Mid-nineties web static images were either jpg og gif. Preferably gifs, which mostly compressed way better for anything but photos. With proper indexing, color limitation, dithering, bitcount, and vigilant observance of proper websafe color palette you could shave amazing extra kilobytes off precious bandwith. Animations were for Geocities.
I get libreoffice is "bad" but the existence of alternatives online really drive home how it is not impossible to develop a modern office suite alternative to office. I honestly wish I could have a desktop tool again, I'm tired of giving the large IT corps more data they can train on.

Well, I participated in one interview that took longer than an hour. It was supposed to be "an initial interview". With another to follow in a week or so.

It turned into: "an initial interview; meet potential future co-workers and manager; have them see me do some actual work they do; meet the company owner(as he happened to be there);meet the accounting person and haggle over proposed pay; meet the HR person and haggle over minor changes in the employment contract;finally sign the contract" all in about ~7h. Coming in I was expecting to spend an hour there, but I was pleased with the outcome. I spent 6 years working there leaving only because of a move to another city.
For my current job I got grilled with leetcode style questions. Lucky I'd done a few before so knew the tricks. Now I work there the job is basic crud style work, nothing fancy required. Employer also hires grads almost exclusively from Ivy League universities and they mostly suck. Makes me look good. :)
That's why I out-trick them and I only use Signal in my friend group to send each other memes. I even talk with my parents using Signal. I hope the "noise" I generate makes Signal a bit more secure for those who have much stricter security constraints than me.
There's a task on my list to write a full tutorial using it to replicate some recent interpretability research (finding induction heads is up first). But even without a full tutorial, I've been surprised how quickly people have been able to pick up and understand it just by selecting a model and playing around.

If you are interested there is this brilliant tutorial [1] by Callum McDougall for the Transformer Lens library. Going through its steps but completing them in Transpector would be a great way to learn it and build out intuition about transformers/ where research is today.

On the model side, I've added a supported model list [2] and a gif of how to switch between models [3], I appreciate the feedback on what information is the most useful for the readme. Furthermore just being aware your question may have been in regards to API access only models (GPT4, Bard...), unfortunately Transpector requires access to the model weights and activations so currently it's not possible to use with those.

See this post in the original discussion regarding flokli's work on tvix-store, which provides a completely different storage model, while still being able to provide NAR compatibility by producing them on demand:

The tvix project itself is quite fascinating and worth a look. It reminds me a bit of the Gentoo times when Paludis came around and blew Portage's performance out of the water - but tvix seems to care more about compatibility with the existing ecosystem instead of being a competitor.

I think almost no one knew it was deprecated. It's been in Unix since 1979, and it's a two-line shell script – I don't really see what the point of deprecating let alone removing it is.

Honestly the model of electronic ballots that I have in my head is very close to the Swiss system. Instead of mailing paper, it's a system where you do it all over the web. If this communication can be brought to a similar level of security and trust as the mailed paper ballots, I'll consider it a success. :D

Take a stroll down the streets of SF or Portland and try to tell me it’s not an issue of drug addiction. There are already shelters in these cities for people in dire financial straits that aren’t addicts; the problem is they (and the rest of us) have to share these and other public spaces with deranged meth addicts. That’s what makes the current system untenable.
I think you did.

When the actual hiring manager, or someone above that person, shows you a concerning aspect of themselves during in the interview, that’s them trying to impress you, demonstrating their best behavior. It won’t be better after you get hired.
>So that means all bets are off: it's entirely possible to implement a perfect peer reviewed protocol in a client and/or server full of backdoors that entirely bypasses the protocol deliberately?

No, that's not how cryptography works. Signal clients don't trust the servers, and it's entirely possible to review the client protocol and make sure that malicious server can't learn anything about the communication (except the dreaded metadata - who talks to whom). That's the point of E2E encryption.
Arguably better async primitives too. Python's main advantage at this point feels like a stronger ecosystem of packages calling into native code (eg numpy et al mostly call optimized C routines). If Typescript adds more of those libraries (like this one), then I could see it gaining a lot of adoption.
I write often in English and Portuguese but I have a US keyboard. What I do is I map A, O and C with Altgr to Ã, Õ and Ç. I modified manually the keyboard configuration for us-intl layout, which works but time and again the file gets overwritten during system updates. The fix is simple, just copy the backed up file and set the layout using setxkbmap, but it is quite annoying. I'll try this out!
It seems doctors want to intentionally keep their supply low so their pay remains high.
There is the 010 Editor, at heart a cross-platform scriptable hex editor with a template language [1]. It has a central template repository [2] as well as templates around the internet (e.g. 3, 4).

But it being a paid tool means there are fewer template contributions from 13 year olds, which if we are all honest make up the majority of unpaid open source contributions - they simply have more spare time.

Followup question: why does the Windows installer defaults to creating only 1 partition, instead of creating something saner, separate system and user partition, similar Linux installers for example? (This just came to my mind: quite possibly the Linux distro from MS also does the same) That way an operating system catastrophe wouldn't be almost always fatal...
I have this exact issue going on. I've learned to distrust my 'instant answer'. I tend to skip this fast answer and work very slowly though the problem, and generally find the quick answer to have been wrong unless I know I have collected and absorbed a great deal of information, and slept on it for at least 1-2 nights. I have found the quicker answers to usually be correct if those prerequisites have been followed.

> Repeat that for other western countries.

Can I disagree? Having moved to a small town in south France after living in Marseille I can't say I miss the big city that much, on the contrary. Of course, there are some aspects like museums etc. but it's not like I was visiting them every day. The quality of my current apartment is superior to the one I had in the city. Sure, there will be exceptions, but overall I don't think your example holds for Western towns and cities.
Seriously. The guy can't stop going on about it. He has the ability to pay people more, or hire more people. Neither would be of any significant cost to him whatsoever - he's literally got hundreds of billions of dollars.

Lol, that sounds strangely familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_socialism

Do you really believe this? All socialist countries so far ended up very quickly (or more likely: started with) being ruled by a very small elite comprised of the top of a single political party.

Ah but of course I know - those weren't actually socialist societies but authoritarian regimes in diguise, but next time it will work you'll see!

> The content of a good education is 90% STEM.

This belief is a big part of why we have such a crisis of culture and politics today.

Education in civics and humanities are vital for understanding our culture, other cultures, ourselves, other people, our relations to them, and how best to participate in our society and government.

Education in practical skills—the kind that used to be taught in "home ec" courses—is vital for being able to navigate this world safely and effectively—things like how to make basic foods, how to balance finances, etc.

Binwalk is my go-to for that kind of thing usually.
Bernie's ideas were wildly popular in 2016, some of them across party lines. The DNC's superdelegate (rigging) system meant that he wouldn't get the ticket and even though he would win every county in West Virginia, he somehow lost West Virginia. Instead the DNC selected a candidate intensely disliked by a large portion of the population. So unpopular that she was bested by a game show host. Basically, the DNC overrode the people's will and threw the election.

Hillary had to blame something and it certainly wasn't going to be herself or her party. Maybe the reason was:

- Russia

- Americans who had voted for Obama suddenly turned into deplorable, low-information bigots

- sexism

- too much bad press about things like her emails

- Wikileaks

- Bernie was too mean

- Comey

etc.

Oh, and her base, not understanding error bars, went on a statistician witch hunt.

I always thought the Psion 3's keyboard was much better to type on than the Psion 5. Even though the 5's looked cooler, the keys had less feel and were heavier to press, and often would get stuck when pushing them not in the center.

I could type much faster on the 3's keyboard. The software was just way better on the 5 and the touchscreen was very useful.

The 3 had a much much better screen contrast though. I missed the backlight on my 3c but I think the 3mx did have this.

I still have a 5MX, modded it somehere around 2009 with bluetooth.
The Last Question!
What you’re describing is what a template does, I just dictate “stone” or “sludge” from a pick list and never a normal statement. There is also existing technology that creates a structured report from free dictations.

Your math also doesn’t add up because 90%ish of studies are normal so you can basically sign a template without looking at the pictures and be more or less entirely accurate, before adding AI.

Also what practice only reads 20 abdo CTs a day? Seriously, let me know I could use a more relaxing job.

Lastly, an AI that functions with the competency of a PGY3 resident does not exist at the moment or on the horizon. Especially for cross sectional studies.

If it's so great, why do they have so few refuelling stations? On the entire Canadian East Coast, there is a total of 2 hydrogen fueling stations, one in Quebec city (Quebec province's) and one in Toronto (Ontario province's capital). And last time I heard, you couldn't rely on them actually having hydrogen.

The biggest advantage of EVs is there's already a distribution network that works for most people who own a house. Sure it's not everybody and not every use case, but it's still way better than hydrogen with its 2 unreliable stations.
Sounds fascinating, what are some examples of the things you are building?

I worked in a semi automated assembly line. We,as workers were pretty good at keeping the robots running and knowing their quirks and my supervisor was even more knowledgeable.

Same here. I had a gemini but beside the poor software there was also the wobbliness of the display hinge that was super annoying. It was because they made it of springy metal.

Also, the keyboard looks the exact same as the Psion 5's but the mechanism is much worse.
I agree with most of it but not this:

"Interviewees are often told to use “I” to get credit for work done, but “we” is probably a more realistic depiction of how work gets done."

I've had too many candidates talk about "we" and the general project, or what the team they were on did. But when I try to get at what they specifically did I get nothing. Sure we need team players, but not just cheerleaders. Take credit for your work!

The weirdest was one guy who I could tell probably did a lot of good stuff but wouldn't say so. It was like he was coached to always talk about the "we".
Better or worse, I don't know, but it would allow more people to vote, which would lead to a more democratic outcome. :D

I think that anything that helps reducing aws bill is more then welcome: AWS is getting tons of $$$ that company can easily save: everybody in the IT (management included) knows and clearly see it from the huge monthly bills they get compared to some years before, but how to spot it?

There are some AWS tools to do it, but they cost too, and of course cannot spot many ways to save money, but there are.

On of my customer told me: we can easily pay you a full month of the saving we get after your cost optimization work (it ended up a lot of $$ :), but the hard part is that to be able to help them save money, you kind of need full root access, and you wont be able to easily get it unless the company is small (or not structured).
Ronaldo is the best human to ever play football. Messi isn't human.

Messi is the best I've ever seen, hands down. He and Ronaldo were both the complete foward, but in different senses. Ronaldo could shoot with incredible power from as far out as you'd like, with either foot. Fast, incredible finisher, and a top physique. Messi didn't shoot from distance much, but could pass, dribble and create space for his teammates and himself more than anyone. Not a bad finisher either.
