It's funny that educational institutions often get chided for "grade inflation", when grade inflation is the norm in industry.
I wonder if we could have fractional death penalty. Some lifetime counter on your responsibility of deaths by companies you own. When certain threshold let's say 0.5 is reached, it will be carried out when ever you are apprehended.
It's like few that commented here about the "purr" (people commenting how cats meow and don't purr, how the purr is not like a chainsaw, and so on) bothered to read (as opposed to skim) the article or deploy some basic reading comprehension.
The article begins with saying cats meow to ask for things. It EXPICITLY says that "Anyone who has lived with a cat has experienced their household companion meowing to them, clearly trying to communicate something or other (perhaps “dinner time” or “Help, I’m locked in the closet”)".

When the article talks about the purr, is in addition to that. It even literally starts that section saying "And it’s not just the meow.".

As for the purr, they don;t refer to the "satisfaction purr" cats do when you pet then (or sometimes the agitated purr they have when they're stressed), that you knee-jerk assumed it does. The article links to the relevant research where they describe those "solicitation purrs" and the audio analysis they did on them:

"Here we report how domestic cats make subtle use of one of their most characteristic vocalisations — purring — to solicit food from their human hosts, apparently exploiting sensory biases that humans have for providing care. When humans were played purrs recorded while cats were actively seeking food at equal amplitude to purrs recorded in non-solicitation contexts, even individuals with no experience of owning cats judged the ‘solicitation’ purrs to be more urgent and less pleasant. Embedded within the naturally low-pitched purr, we found a high frequency voiced component, reminiscent of a cry or meow, that was crucial in determining urgency and pleasantness ratings. Moreover, when we re-synthesised solicitation purrs to remove only the voiced component, paired presentations revealed that these purrs were perceived as being significantly less urgent."

> You can't prove [claim] doesn't exist

I'm sure there is a name for this logical trick you are trying to use.

OK I will claim there is a grand spaghetti monster. You can't disprove the existence of the spaghetti monster. Therefore, the spaghetti monster must exist.

The burden of proof is on the AI fanfic crowd to prove that terminator and AGI is just around the corner.
I think you're manifesting what I'm talking about. The reason you cannot replace async with threads has nothing to do with the ecosystem, but the simple fact that threading is a model of parallelism and async/await is a model of concurrency. These are two subtly different concepts in software architecture, but they are not the same thing.

More concretely, threaded code has nothing to say about whether or not its synchronous or asynchronous, and asynchronous code has nothing to say about whether or not it's evaluated in parallel.

I gave a Lyft driver 4 stars because they got honked at by a car in their blind spot as the Lyft driver was about to change lanes into them. NBD could have, and probably has, happened to anyone. So 4 stars, "drive safety" or "drive quality" or something and "check your blind spots more carefully next time" as the note. 10 minutes later I get an email from Lyft telling me they'll reprimand the driver and possibly remove him and he's banned from ever matching with me again. So now I just give 5 stars unless something actually noteworthy happens.
If you're counting the road as parking because it's used to maneuver into the parking spot, then you need to count people's 10 acre yards as living space as well.
In my experience GPT-4 does much better at handling sentences without punctuation than most people do. I think this is because as a human we might start to interpret something a certain way before we get to the end of the (possibly punctuationless) sentence and then we get stuck a bit where it's hard to adjust... but GPT-4 is trying to generate something based on probability, and all of the wrong interpretations that we might get stuck on are less probable than the proper interpretation (on average). Of course this is just my pourquoi story and I haven't done any actual tests.

This is the main thing IMO.

Usenet went from students posting at a modest number of elite schools, .mil sites, and a relative handful of tech companies--often under their real name--to the Eternal September and beyond. Like many problems with the Internet over the years which occurred because systems that grew up on the assumption of mostly trustworthy actors.
Today our platform is built ontop of EKS. We are currently working on GKE support, and then AKS to follow.
I think of specialized language syntax on a spectrum similar to "Dynamic types <-> Static types". Very general syntax like S-expressions provides you maximum flexibility, but the minimum amount of guidance on semantics and protection against mistakes, along with the opportunity for nicer, more-detailed error messages.

> they can't just be easily supplanted by free alternatives as can moderators.

That's an incredibly naive take. Do you think there is an abundance of moderators just waiting to fill the ranks? Several SE sites are struggling with a lack of moderators already.

Similarly, there is no abundance of community members curating questions and answers. It's all volunteers, and it's not like there's a huge untapped pool that they can access on-demand.

It's kinda like saying that the entire community can be easily replaced because it's free. No, the community is the business value!

Lastly, the main anti-spam tool of the site (smokedetector-se.org - community-built and -hosted) is also offline as part of the strike. The tooling built by SE the site is in no way shape or form adequate for combating the amount of spam the site receives. Sure, it's not irreplaceable, but it's not "free".

I don’t fundamentally disagree, just I’m feeling uncomfortable watching the world slowly converging into “a great war for a great reset” type of thinking.
Oh, there are ways to do it nicely! But they won’t be used, and won’t be available.
> Does it decrease your chances of being laid off? Yes.

This is so hilariously false.

Because they're the spam being kept out.
There are no software patents in EU (maybe even in the whole Europe) with exception for specially designed hardware. Idk how that works.
The rest of the world has. If you're going to use .net, there's almost zero chance that you'll get permission to use F#.

For whatever reason, C# devs seem incredibly resistant to even just looking at F#.
Which is a lesson for those saying "well just federate it!"
I question even this case, because Pharma seem perfectly happy to push through drugs with unproven effectiveness. See the Aduhelm scandal (which has expanded to the entire Beta-Amyloid research angle). It wouldn't be so bad (see the Vitamin Industrial Complex), if they weren't paid for by insurance (ie everyone).
Thanks for the feedback! We're still an early company and working through the right pricing - we have some customers who pay less than that and some who pay more. Goal is to get happy customers and being an early stage company we have flexibility on it (the flat pricing makes that much easier).

Turkey had a runoff election after a close result and a third party splitting the vote.

Imagine if that happened in 92 back in the states.

If by dictatorship you mean the military coups from its history -- that is an interesting and unique-in-the-world situation where Atatürk granted power to the military to overthrow the government if they strayed too far from his Kemalist ideal of the republic, probably the only coups in human history which the end goal was to force the people to have another election
(with the not so subtle threat to not make them have to come back again -- this is the origin of the term "deep state" which became popularized in the US recently)

Now there is evidence that the US had a hand in some of the original (pre-2016) coups.

I would be wary to oversimplify Turkish politics.
There just isn't enough interesting news! There's no opportunity for a "centrist" cable news network, because what drives the constant attention is appeals to partisan agitation.

Isn't there some sort of contradiction here? There is WAY more that needs to be discussed than is being discussed.

There’s a theory that the human iris is so small because it helped us in working with canines as mixed hunting packs (nonverbal communication) and that in a way it’s a domestication of humans.

As we push back the date of first contact between humans and wolves that theory becomes more plausible.
This is a grim way to live.

Yes, there are companies that are extreme in their mercurial attitudes towards employees. But so are there people like that.

Do you similarly say, I don't do anything above and beyond for other people because that one time some boy/girl/friend left me because I had a bad day?

No, you find the people who value you. And because there needs to be balance, you show that you value them by sometimes going above and beyond.

And besides that, you should be tying everything you do for a company to some self-oriented goal. Like these folks laid off from Pixar, do you think they are now at a net negative in life for having been laid off?

Their lives have been enriched through skills, relationships, income, savings, experiences, etc.

Does it suck to be laid off? Definitely.

But if you come away from a 20 year career at a company feeling empty and used then I'd say that's more on you than on the employer.

If you think to yourself, "I could have given so much more time to my family but the company forced me to work." No, you did that to yourself.

You work for an abusive employer? Plan your escape.
Some don't. Look at the iconic reveal of the Delorian in Back to the Future.
Clojure uses a high-level data-structure for list like data. Lisp usually uses a very primitive data-structure (two-slot linked list cells).

The main point is that Lisp actually has decades old established set of data structures, their operators and programming concepts. For example when I would have read a Lisp book, I would find explanations of these core datastructures and operators. In a Clojure book many things work sufficiently differently and also are named differently. In Lisp for example "atom" is a central concept. It's anything which is not a linked list element. In Clojure this word is used to name a completely different concept: a data structure to manage state.

Clojure is more like Lisp, Java, SML put into a blender. The result may have a similar color, some traces of flavor, but other then that it is a new language.

A whole lot of science goes on in Pharma and Biotech, but the paper doesn't appear until the project fails or, perhaps, after the patent is granted and things are "safe". And I'm sure some things are held as trade secrets. They were in computational modeling so I assume they're handled the same way in "real" chemistry.
I thought that was the case about the first time, hence the repost. Although I didn't know for sure, hadn't heard about the [dead].

I guess I'll try again in a few months with a different messaging, perhaps highlighting developer experience, thanks.
sure but i bet it's based on their detailed documentation and their product isn't a probabilistic black box.

also, i always turn on the tips of the day for software but soon ignore it after using like two times.
Scabs in a scientific union strike? I’ve routinely see it take months for a new joinee to get up to speed on someone else’s project. And hiring is strictly controlled, and no one has a budget to suddenly hire new workers out of the blue to break a strike. This is a fanciful view of scientific labor. Even if not hiring new labor, asking another existing worker to take over an existing project runs into the same issues.

See my other replies to your comments. The risk of being scooped pales in contrast to actual working condition issues. If being scooped was the only concern of every postdoc, there would be no need for a union.

Finally, you deeply underestimate the amount of community involvement within an institute in any scientific paper. “Science is individualistic” in a very limited intellectual sense but not in a meaningful day to day basis.
Good luck trying to enforce it
Yeah, idk why everyone's trying to say the SU was so great when the dissolution of the SU happened after Boris Yeltsin went into an American supermarket in Houston and "Yeltsin admitted the visit made a profound impression on him. It cemented his growing view that the Soviet state-run economic system had left the Russian people far behind Americans, forcing them into a much lower standard of living."

Pretty much every time someone pipes up who lived through the SU era themselves, they set the record straight that people weren't really having a great time.
> Most of the road is only there because people use cars instead of public transport.

Buses need roads too, and train tracks are just as big as roads but less versatile.
Interesting word choice: 'non-human' vs 'extra-terrestrial'
What do you mean? I have a website and I publish 3 or 4 times a year.

Sure I had to do marketing/outreach to get a following, but I have PhDs in my field reading my side-work I'm producing in the evenings. This stuff is science, without all the fluff and grander. At the end of the day, my readers do go out and test my claims, isn't that more science than academia's replication crisis?

I do something that is nearly free to study, which is possibly why it works. No LHC in my basement.

I’ve definitely met people who actually did know C++. Turns out they were also on the committee or frequently talked to other people on the committee. If you spend a large amount of time investing in learning it.. it is possible. However, few people, including myself, are willing to make that trade when there are so many other things to learn. If a new grad out of school were to claim they completely knew C++, ha! I’ve been a C and C++ programmer for 20 years and I’d never say that!
There can't be an oversupply of advanced degrees. Rather if there is an "oversupply" it means that we can't adequately absorb the intellectual capacity of the population. This in itself is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Usenet was - by the standards of the early 00's, which is when it began to decline - slow, and asynchronous. Posts could take hours to days to propagate, which meant conversation threads would go off in multiple directions at once.

Technology that was transformative during the BBS-to-early-internet transition became a liability ten years on.

Slashdot, PHPBB and later on Reddit offered synchronous, low-latency, single-point-of-truth updates to thread/post order.

The promise of self-configured "agents" for content filtering never really caught on - they were too time-consuming for anyone bar a few geeks and academics to manage. The social media "feed" is an evolution of the same idea, but there's not really any self-configuration - instead the system is programmed by the platform's owners to adapt to your behavioural feedback.

This makes sense but to be honest, how I'd really like to represent data to go along with code is as a table or a tree (i.e. presentation/interaction more like a spreadsheet).
All I have is gut feel, but I agree. If half the public truly believed the election was rigged, then we’re a pathetic lot for not being out in the streets daily raising hell in protest. People just say it without believing it. The Jan 6th folks believed it, but there has been nothing since.

Are you aware of any sane takes like this you have links to? Even some of the skeptical articles like the one in The Atlantic are more calling out hypocrisy than attempting to take a serious look at the reality of threats from "AI" (which, as you point out is, not really AI).
I just checked my search history, and about 80% of my Google queries contain "site:reddit.com". It's becoming harder and harder to find real content.
Hi dulse, while you are here, there is another issue with high-risk payments. You can see in your dashboard the count of "high-risk payments", but there is no way to actually review which payments were flagged as high-risk. This seems like it should be easy to implement. I'd expect there to be a report or filter here in the payments tab. I hope you can help!
If you're only counting the square footage of people's homes rather than of everywhere they go, then you should also only count the square footage of their driveways rather than of everywhere they park their cars.
After reading the proposed rule changes, I'm not so sure it's bad, and I'm also not sure it hits the EFF in any meaningful way (unless the EFF is hopelessly corrupt, which I guess is a possibility). The biggest thing at issue is that it protects small entities from spurious IPRs (ie IPRs from parties not being sued) from for-profit companies while litigation is ongoing, which seems kind of reasonable. IPRs are expensive, so this is an easy way to either drive a small entity bankrupt during a high-stakes lawsuit or extort a payout.

The EFF isn't a for-profit entity, so if they have problems with this rule, it might mean that they are so closely connected to one or more for-profit companies that they are treated as for-profit. That honestly makes the EFF sound suspect. I am assuming this comes from their ideological anti-IP stance rather than corruption, but either way it doesn't come off as an honest take on the new rules.
If I where a US citicens I would want whoever is resposible for it to be fired and investigated for corruption.

Because you need to either be severely incompetent to a point of by far not being qualified to do your job or corrupt to come up with that.

If you do a bit research into the patent system it becomes clear that if anything challenging being to difficult and expensive is a problem not the other way around.

> 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.

This matches my experience - once you buckle down and learn the jargon, then when you read the papers you realize that the concepts are rarely complex. But if you write a paper that's not complicated, people might see that you haven't come up with anything impressive! And the emperor has no clothes. So you, and everyone around you, succumbs to their inferiority complex and hides their ideas behind inscrutable jargon.
They surely could have pivoted to an alternative, potentially creating more jobs in the progress. Most commercial raspberry pi projects should be microcontrollers anyway, and certainly not be running on the sdcard.
