You told them they should talk to some life sciences graduates. They relayed that they knew several such people. And now you're telling them the experiment you proposed is anecdotal and not meaningful, seemingly because it didn't produce the result you wanted.

Another approach would have been to say, "interesting, my experience differs," and then to compare notes.

For instance, is it the case that you're a software engineer who occasionally meets people who've pivoted into software engineering from life sciences? That could be a very different sample than someone who's spouse has successfully gained traction in the field (with neither being representative, as they're subject to complementary survivorship biases). Seems likely to me that there's something to be learned from both perspectives here.
I'm all for the cull.

Absentee/incompetent owners are overwhelming the ability to control the noise, agression and dog shit everywhere that's resulted from treating a living entity like a video game console.

It's not the dog's resoponsibility to sooth neurotic primates.

The reason they "love you so much" is because they were stolen from their actual mother, and handed to a primate before they were old enough to remmeber their actual parent.

The entire phenomenon of pet ownership is basically infant kidnapping...
It could be that the hype died down, the industry has matured and commodified. This happened with the storage industry over the last couple of decades.
Back when I was 19 and an anarchist, I was always critical of LLC laws. I probably still am.

I believe the judicial system does do the fine as you mentioned, but the prosecutors have to be realistic and settle out of court at the risk a skeptical judge/jury.

Without LLC laws, you could go after personal ownership too. Privately owned company means there is a few billionaires to have their wealth confiscated. Publicly, our 401ks empty + risk of losing our homes.

Isn't that insane to think about? What would a world look like if that was the case. Would companies be incredibly responsible? Would investors be incredibly responsible?

I don't claim to say this is the best economic system, but it might solve our climate crisis by forcing people to be liable for themselves and what they own.
That is Cloudflare.

So many people were clicking on the link from here that it inadvertently DDOS-ed my server. I had to turn on the "under attack" feature in Cloudflare just to get the other sites running again.
Firstly, Zyklon B is not “nerve gas” its cyanide that was manufactured as an insecticide to disinfect lice.

Otherwise you are just going on a witch hunt to enact vengeance on people just for being German.
In what sense is the link submitted incorrect?
Yup.

I very nearly changed banks over this particular quirk of "Anything below the maximum rating is a failure that must be addressed."

I'm one of those people who likes going into the bank lobby often enough to get cash (though the ATMs have started handing out $100s now so I do that somewhat less), and for a while, I was getting a survey phone call about every single visit. The people at the other end would ask how various aspects of the transaction were, and would not accept anything less than 10 without long explanations of how the bank teller didn't make my day the most amazing ever. They would not accept "I'm entirely happy with the transaction, it was utterly non-exceptional, the money was counted properly, and this is what I expect" as a reason for not deploying fireworks of celebration in my rating of bank encounters.

I mentioned this to the branch manager at one point when I was getting a wire transfer set up (at the time, at least, wire transfers to other countries had to go through a few hoops to make sure you weren't getting scammed), and that I was very seriously considering switching banks over this annoyance, and he very rapidly put me on a "Do not pester, no, seriously, don't..." list that solved the problem.

I just generally don't rate stuff anymore, because I don't consider "5 stars" a "meets expectations" grade rating.

Definately. I resort to GPT when I have no clue where to even start digging a problem, like not even knowing what keywords to google. I just prompt my candid question and GPT does help narrowing things down.
I don’t know.

The scientists apparently had some wiggle room: An offer was made to the Princeton team to be redeployed there. "Like a bunch of professional soldiers," Wilson later recalled, "we signed up, en masse, to go to Los Alamos.”

But the subtext was there was a draft going on and most of them would be eligible unless they were working on such a critical project.

Short video summary: https://youtu.be/ueRuMDb-cPo
The academic establishment is obsessed with _invention_ not making ideas _accessible_.

We have an 'intellectual property' obsessed society. But if existing ideas were more accessible, less cloaked in esoteric jargon, the next steps would seem not "original" but more self-evident to many. We would have a lot of obvious, parallel invention.

Read scientific writing. It's very dense. Papers are very inscrutable. This creates some extremely niche subdomains where the same 5-10 peer reviewers decide what's considered valid research. We treat science like arcane magic. The incentives of academia (tenure, hierarchy, status) only amplify the arcana. And those stuck in their nichiest of domains don't get exposed to new ideas.
Probably the free users.

Genuine question: if Google is a last resort, what are your more preferred alternatives? I've tried many search engines and haven't really succeeded in finding a better alternative. Wondering if I'm missing something.
PAWS insists that you take a bonded pair of kittens instead of a single cat. My best bud growing up came from a pair, but his sister was always aloof.

The notion is that they teach each other not to fight so rough, which is something. We are bad at teaching them. Most of the orneriest little shits I’ve known were singles.

I had one cat that was a single kitten from a feral mother. She was a spitfire. Loved kids, and me, and everyone else could fuck right off. Except my girlfriend, but only on Tuesdays. She had a special hatred of vets. She would probably have lived 2 years longer if she didn’t turn into a wolverine at the doctors office.
Perhaps the death penalty for the execs would cause some real reform. Japanese culture had the concept to Seppuku when someone brought shame to their position. They seem to take their jobs seriously.

I'm not sure this claim makes sense. Yes, _if you're committed to driving everywhere_, then fewer parking spaces when you arrive at your destination may make you spend time looking for parking.

But in the alternate world where we didn't design for cars first, you'd be more used to other forms of transit, and a lot of things would be closer together. In our universe, where most businesses are surrounded by large parking lots, whole cities get sprawled out and everyone's travel times are inflated (regardless of mode of travel).
This is what I remember. They had basically an hourly rotation of segments, and every once in a while they would update them. But if you had watched for 2 hours, there was a pretty good chance that a lot of the second hour was completely repeated.
Your comment made me imagine a scenario where Altman is secretly asking GPT-5 what to do next. As a result he goes out on this world tour to try to turn governments against alternative AIs.
Most of the road is only there because people use cars instead of public transport. Keep 2 lanes as necessary,the remaining lanes should be divided among the cars as wasted space caused by them.
I’m not sure radicalising this debate helps anyone. We are trying for a narrow victory of preserving IPR. Turning that into a broader argument about software patents plays into the opposition’s hands.

The web indexes from Google and Bing are available publicly? I can pull it down from somewhere and try to make a search engine?
The point is that it's not any different than the living space itself. If you go from home to work, you need an office to be in while you're there in addition to a parking space, and for that time both your home and the parking space at your home are empty.

But they're counting the parking space at the office and not the office space there.
So this runs on top of AKS?
I wish someone would go back and give love to Standard ML. it such a great language, small, and easy to learn, extremely fast, compiles fast, and expressive to boot.

It's tooling isn't great though. I think its syntax is a lot nicer than OCaml's for example.

There is this wonderful language that is up and coming called Roc that look promising.

I often remark that it's so easy to fail to replicate any moderately complex experiment, so you really have to do a great job to be sure that it's actually invalid. Whether it's the chemistry, equipment, or animals (even yeast) involved there are so many variables that need to be controlled only an expert can do it. If you think that the Methodology and experimental setup will (or even could) be sufficient, you're in for a rude surprise.

Now there's now so much low hanging fruit, that it might be possible for a few labs to just look at the most outrageous published experimental claims for replication. Especially, anything published in a prestigious journal or groups with lots of influence could be carefully examined, but of course you have to do a great job to get your negative results published... it's also worth mentioning that the reputational risks of doing this are not small. If you're already being pushed out of academia and love working for peanuts though?
>> I take issue with calling them wannabe developers.

I did say "how many... ?" Certainly not all, but I once did a fresh Fedora install once, and the latest version of something didn't work. Not at all. I managed to do some searching, tracked down the root problem (in a dependency) and found a workaround, posted that to the IRC, and a while later the package was updated. The workaround was something like passing an option in the launcher - no "code" or rebuilding.
I've reduced codebases by more than 100x, and simultaneously closed out 90+% of bugs, and added many orders of magnitude in performance.

It is far less impressive than it sounds, because it relies on having an unimaginably bad starting point.

I guarantee you that the starting point for this story was a pile of copy-pasted classes, each of which had some minor tweak, and that the program exposed some combinatorially large number of similar flows. When a bug was fixed, it would need to be manually applied to dozens of classes, and this did not happen, so each of the copy-pasted classes diverged and replicated functionality.

The output of the weekend was almost certainly a simple set of software layers, each with a clean mathematical abstraction, and the composition of the layers expressed all possible flows from the legacy system.

The best example of this I've heard of was with inkjet printer drivers from HP. They used to fork their entire driver stack, including font rendering and dithering, for each printer they released. They produced dozens of models per year. Then they assigned 5-10 full time engineers to maintain each fork of the driver.

After the open source people had already done it with reverse engineered stacks, someone at HP wrote a unified driver framework where the only model-specific stuff was parameterized inputs to the ditherer (DPI, etc) or the actual wire protocol over USB to send the list of dots to put on the paper.

They ended up replacing something like 10,000 engineers with a dozen people or so, and printout quality increased dramatically (though I doubt it was as good as the open source stacks).

Some would argue that “the risk of AI” is pointing directly at the human problem.

The idea that AI is not risk in and of itself, but is a risk because of humans seems to miss the point that this delineation is artificial.

AI and the problems humans will cause with it are inextricably linked. Development of one leads to the other.

You're missing big box stores like Walmart which each have tens of thousands of square feet of parking around them for every car which could potentially show up. Many times, these giant parking lots are mandated by law, so each grocery store has a parking lot, and each school has a parking lot. When you total it up, there are hundreds of places you could theoretically park your car, mostly mandated by law to exist. It makes all infrastructure bigger: you house is further from the store because you have to drive past a bunch of parking lots.

If you go to a place that isn't driving dependent and you'll see that the main factor for "better walkability" is namely "places are a few miles closer because you don't have to walk through 20 parking lots to get there". It's pretty eye opening.
> The immediate ancestors of the domestic cat were diurnal hunters with color vision.

AFAIK, the immediate ancestor has been identified as a wildcat which was most closely related to, and possibly the same subspecies as, the modern African wildcat, F. silvestris lybica, a mostly-nocturnal hunter.

It does happen, and not out of malice. Source: father in law died over the summer, "Garfield" (sigh) was rescued after 3 weeks when FIL was discovered, coroner report mentioned "evidence of post mortem scavenging".

"Garfield" (sigh) is to all appearances just a well adjusted cat, if a bit of a whiner.
This was not a typical sluggish wayward Cessna 152 or 172 with a cruise speed of 122 knots that tend to violate airspace by ignorance. The Cessna 560 Citation V Business Jet cruises at 430 knots/Mach 0.755 and can probably fly faster. I wish news articles would include the model family in the headline.

At Mach 0.755 with supersonic barrier being at Mach 1.0, it becomes obvious why it had to be a supersonic intercept.

I think the issue is that they tried, but couldn't, due to differences in tar. So they came up with pax. This is because they wanted a format that is interoperable among implementations.

However, I think there are two mistakes in the process:

1. Why should it matter that there are different flavors of tar out there which have interoperability issues? The command and some of its options could be standardized, as having an implementation-defined format. The ecosystem of POSIX-like systems will solve the interoperability problem.

2. Why consider the matter closed for so many decades; maybe the issue should be revisited? There should be an effort to have tar as a standard command, given that it's widely used. The only reason we have POSIX in the first place is that Unix is widely implemented and used.

I mean, different file systems have totally different inode data structures, right? Yet we have a standard commands that manipulate things in the file system, like ls. What your system can ls, another one might not be able to mount at all.

I will also note that they stole the MQTT protocol from Home Assistant - so at least they need ideas from elsewhere. (ie openzwave died so domoticz needs to rely on the same NodeJS subsystem infrastructure of HA)

It sounds nice to keep failing executives around indefinitely while you try to train or mentor them, but in practice the company can't keep losing $100 million a movie and remain in business. Being nice to bad directors means laying off a lot of other people in the long run.
Well I guess someone might have thought it was a rant post and chose to flag it, though my intention here was to, at least to an extent, also draw attention towards how large corporations get to decide the rights of commoners.

(Edit: I had a last paragraph here but it was in bad taste, so I removed it.)
If you are expecting auto discovery of state variables or service calls then that would be nice, but that seems like a bit too much to ask. And it's not something that I personally feel is necessary as you're likely already are familiar enough with the home assistant states/services that you want to interact with by checking them out in the home assistant developer UI.

My PyCharm just shows those types as unknown, not as errors. I get auto completion & type checking for all the code I write myself.

It's also important to note that PyScript isn't regular python. Instead it's an interpreted script[1] that is compatible with the Python syntax. This is unfortunate, but enables most of the magic of PyScript which otherwise would not be practical.

> Ultimately, unions' power comes from the threat of striking.

The power comes from the NLRA, a federal law, which is enforced by the NLRB, a federal agency. It’s about agreeing to and enforcing a contract between the workers and the employer.

Whether or not to strike then becomes a part of contract negotiation.

Apart from address space, there’s also simply the question of wasted resources, because in tail-call-optimizable programs, that stack space is by definition not strictly needed (otherwise it couldn’t be optimized away), so you might unnecessarily be wasting many GBs of memory. Lastly, TCO can improve cache locality and thus potentially speed up the program.

It wasn't like programmers were less creative or productive than they are now. The languages were fully capable of doing anything on a server you could do now. It was mostly C. Programmers were creative and smart, just like now, and could implement anything, albeit ground-up since there were fewer existing building blocks to reuse.

A lot of sophisticated anti-spam software depended on some sophisticated anti-anti-spam showing up first, and there is a lot more of that now for sure.
