There are some logical weaknesses there. Do you think the CCP is acting against the wishes of the Chinese government? Obviously what is happening in China is being done through the normal legal channels. The government knows about this and isn't about to prosecute anyone.

The US government is spying on literally everyone. You can't name anyone who has a web presence and isn't caught in the dragnet.
This is exactly the issue. The city gets handed a goose that lays golden eggs and they completely wasted the opportunity. Then the goose dies and they're left floundering.

The analogy with Detroit is an apt one.

You can export your password (from Safari or from the Settings app) to a csv file. Not sure how that handles passkeys, if at all, however. Probably not (yet).
This seems stupid, because other smaller companies are releasing LLaMA-likes out into the open.

But I get why Facebook kept LLaMA legally restricted while throwing it out without much enforcement: to appease inquiries like this.
Yeah, seems like it; this time they have first party support by the os vendor, which is nice.
So don’t try and minimize it altogether because you’re getting some elsewhere? This isn’t good logic.
Is this a joke? There isn't a gas station in this country that will refuse to sell booze to a homeless broken down and busted up alcoholic that begs for change right in front of the gas station. Except of course, the gas stations that legally aren't allowed to sell booze to anybody in the first place.

Dealers have no morals. Even the law that bartenders aren't allowed to serve drunk people is an absolute farce. Walk into any bar in this country and you'll find drunk people being served alcohol.
Got it, then I guess in the Apple instance I mean "confirm it's not malicious"? But sure, Apple and Oranges.

Hey dcow, maybe they were hired for remote work and are now being forced into hybrid. And absolutely no company is going to help their employees pay for the cost of living in places like Vancouver, San Fran, London. So let's bring the argument back to reality, ok?
Pet ownership needs more regulation. And it needs to be enforced.

Our neighborhood social media pages are full of stray animals roaming the streets, piles of newborn kittens in crawlspaces and dumpsters, emaciated dogs found everywhere...

And then at the same time you have people trying to give away or even sell puppy after puppy and kitten after kitten.

If you own an animal, it needs to be spayed or neutered.

Question: how do you reliably deploy? And if it's just scp-ing tarballs, how do you handle dependencies? Do you run & upgrade any third-party processes that rely on having their filesystem or deps?

Struggling with this because even in a small app in a Linode box, I don't mind just cp-ing my bins but there's always other things/versions they need. Thinking of bringing in Ansible to help me out here.

I would not say it is correct to call BTC deflationary. It is simply not inflationary after the final halving. Since USD is highly inflationary then BTC is "deflationary" w.r.t $1, but the supply of BTC does not shrink.

You could argue about people losing their private keys being deflationary, but that's still different from blockchains like Ethereum whose currency is literally burned in small amounts during block creations (and therefore has the chance to be truly deflationary at times).

Aside from that your other points are valid.
Software engineering and venture capital aren't, and aren't claiming to be, sciences.

And Pauling lived a remarkably long life for someone who was hanging around in chemistry labs in the 1920s. Someone with that background dying at 93 is like a regular person dying at 113. So I would be careful to dismiss his ideas regarding health outright, even though most studies have been unable to confirm his claims. There is still plenty of serious research happening into Vitamin C megadoses, so clearly, not all scientists agree with the idea that this is quackery. And even if it indeed were completely and utterly wrong, it is still not even remotely comparable to the sheer audacity of Lacan's bullshit.
Someone borrowing $725 MM (probably interest only) to buy downtown property and having to sell it for no residual equity with rising interest rates isn't a unique-to-SF problem. It's happening in major cities all over the US. Nothing SF specific at all.

I made a chrome extension that has about 3000 users and adding about 100 users weekly. One Day someone reached out to me offering to pay 0.20$/user for it. The extension required manual data input from time to time so I was happy to get my hands off it.

I was confused as after buying the guy seemingly did nothing with the extension. Now I'm realizing that it has become a part of the malware community. I was also using ESCompiler to bundle files which was naturally obfuscating it a lot.

The point is that these people acquire extensions when they have a growth trajectory, then sit back and let the cash roll in. Kinda like VCs. That's why they have such a huge collection of popular extensions.

Also, To get "Featured" on chrome, you just have to fill a paltry form about accessibility etc and wait for a few weeks. "Featured" does not mean the application is safe in any way. I'd say it's the contrary since the scammers know exactly how to get the tag to look more trustworthy.

And some don't have noisy sections.

The two worst work environments I've been in were an open office situation, where the noise and motion was far too intrusive for me to get anything done, and another place that had a strongly enforced "silence" rule. That was perhaps even worse. The office had no noise at all except for the incessant noise of typing.

I need something in between those two extremes, I think.
I'm afraid, this is it. The crackdown has started. Next thing RIAA and consorts will chime in and request a take-down.
If you can, there are some great borosilicate glass containers out there. I use them for everything. The ones I have seal well enough that I can fill it with soup and stick it in a backpack, ride somewhere and it's fine on the other side.

Thick enough to be basically unbreakable, microwavable, dishwasher-safe, etc. Don't need to worry about tomato staining either like on plastic. I've been thrilled with mine.
Lol. You're getting exactly what you want and yet, still finding a way to bitch about it.
Sounds like you have a good argument for being designated as a remote team/employee. I wish you luck.
I rented a quiet co-working space, instead of working from home or working at the office. That gave me the advantages of choosing my own work area, while still working remotely.

I struggle to work well from home, so renting my own nearby office worked really well for my productivity.

Later I also travelled (pre-COVID) and rented co-working spaces which had great benefits, and certainly bet working from a café or hotel.
Undoubtedly there are certain roles that require on-site physical presence.

From what I understand, channels can be used to extend Guix, but don't quite work like Flakes, more like the old Nix channels. The thing that makes Flakes special is that they allow you to treat Git repositories like software packages. No more need for a distribution to package the software, you can just drop a 'flake.nix' file into the Git repository and that makes it behave like a package that users can install and other Flakes can depend on. I am really fond of the ability to just run software straight from Git, e.g.:

nix run github:ggerganov/llama.cpp

Makes it really easy to switch versions, fork, patch or otherwise customize things.

No, you'd need something like a nasty pandemic where people willingly give bodily fluid samples. Like that'll ever happen...

That would require a conspiracy on a scale never seen before that is just not possible considering how poorly coordinated governments are and would be stupid to do because if it were to be found out by the public would end in mass revolt.

is close, yet no the same.

There's difference between "do you understand this if ladder" or "can you simplify this boolean expression"

and "clear bits 3, 25, 26, 27 of this register and set bits 25, 26, 27 to value 0b101"

Both parties are ecstatic to turn this nation into a surveillance panopticon, make no mistake
Most manifestations will be in the middle of something more nuanced than a demo statement, the people in question will often lack the vocabulary to describe what they're seeing, and it's rarely anyone's first or even fifth thought that addition is going wonky. With that in mind, I think it's perhaps a stretch to call floating point error plainly obvious.

You're right, of course. This would be only marginally faster if the person knew binary. That said, there's a large swath of very similar things that crop up where the person benefits from a familiarity with the fundamentals of computing. There's enough of these things that a reasonable person might conclude that a software engineer benefits from such a knowledge base inside their head. That way a person can benefit from all those marginal gains at once.
Letters like this make me think that Facebook may have intentionally "leaked" the weights. Certainly they didn't hesitate to open-source the model once the leak occurred.
You're talking about billions of... dollars. Sounds to me like more scams exist because of fiat. Are you implying that scams don't exist with dollars, and it's the crypto alone which makes for fraud? Or is it that, if it's abused for corrupption and fraud, then it's hurting people so we should do away with it, like fiat?
> And you’re only getting two “no meetings” days a week anyway.

My experience working from home was that it didn't change the amount of meetings at all.
Sites likely do this to prey on "yes-click syndrome" where people just blindly mow through prompts to get to whatever it was they came for more quickly.
If you're into Lisp/Scheme, it sounds silly.

If you're part of the 99% who know little of Lisp languages, he is correct. There's not much of a difference between 0.001% and 0.01%, when you're working in numbers like 20+%.
I think it should be employee based not company based. If you're in the office you don't have a real good reason to discriminate against someone working remotely. If you need the person you'll arrange a meeting or call them regardless, how does it work with clients? If they're working remote, do you just decline their business? If you're discriminating against a colleague on that basis, you're actively chosing to do so. If you're subconsciously doing it, you're probably doing it for other factors, which you should be consciously considering and mitigating.
Yeah, but I've observed patronizing excuses for corporate misbehavior before and they trigger me a bit, what can I say.
Jimmy Dore show on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/@thejimmydoreshow

Aaron Mate is a regular on his show.

Jimmy has been debunking the Russiagate conspiracy for years now. He's a comedian turned truth-teller. I stumbled across his show many years ago, and my honest first impression was that this guy looks like a shady used car salesman, so I was very skeptical of his claims. He will go into angry tirades often.

But after seeing enough of his segments, and seeing how things unfold over weeks and months, I realized he's actually legit. Whenever I see news unfold now on mainstream news, for example - the Nordstream pipeline being blown up and Russia being blamed for it, I know I will get a more accurate assessment of the truth from Jimmy Dore. And again, it's not that I take his word for it, I see how things unfold weeks and months later and turns out he was right.

Note: The left smears Dore as a right-winger. That's so bullshit. He's actually progressive and more left than the establishment left - antiwar, wants universal healthcare, pro-union pro-worker, free-speech. Dore was one of the first people to endorse and interview AOC when it looked like she was a legit anti-establishment lefty (that turned out to be wrong). The left doesn't like him because he criticizes them from the real left and reveals their hypocrisy and corruption.
Always a good idea to get the jump on recycling before the volume piles up.

Not to mention the added hypocrisy that at nearly every company I've worked at, big and small, C-levels are almost never physically in the main office building. Sometimes they're traveling the globe to work on making deals, but sometimes they just want to be at home with their family, or take a semi-vacation.

If you can run a company on the go or at home, certainly I am capable of shipping quality code at home.
Isn't that average lifespan? There was a lot of death either in childbirth or during early childhood years. If you filter that data out a bit, adults lived a more comparable age. Still not as good as today, but not 31.
This was one thing that I loved about metal that I always felt was missing from "pop" music - the community, and the sense of having grown organically from little roots. Guys and girls putting in the work, paying their dues, because they loved the music. And guys and girls showing up to support them, in shitty clubs and local festivals, buying the shitty merch and the shitty self-produced demo tapes.

You went because you supported the community, and you were all in it together, us long-haired weirdos. Sure, some of the bands were terrible. But you went, all the same, and you cheered for them because they were doing their best to get this turkey off the ground. And some of them were NOT terrible, and excellent times were had, and experiences were experienced, and memories were made, and by god look at this thing we did! These guys fucking rocked!

And I always felt like something was missing, when I heard pop songs on the radio. Where did Tiffany or Oingo Boingo come from? Where did they put in their dues? Did they put in their dues, at all? Who went to see them, and where? Did they all just sing in church and then went to some cattle call audition? Where was the not-quite-national pop scene, the local club acts for these kinds of music? It seemed like it arose explicitly from the board room and the accounting department, instead of growing organically like the hip hops kids and the rappers and metalheads and punks.
> China having all my Tik Tok data is preferable then the US having any of my data. China isn't going to come disappear me in the US. The US might.

No. It is worse in China. Especially with the 'police stations' and applying their national security law to activists overseas. Here one example example:

A TikTok user in Hong Kong protesting against the CCP has it worse than one protesting against the US government. The difference is obvious:

In the US you are free to peacefully protest against the US government which that is protected by the 1st amendment in the US constitution.

China on the other hand can use it's national security law (and in Hong Kong) to get activists overseas and disappear you. [0] Given that China has access to ByteDance's data, I don't think you would want to be the user who attempted to protest against the CCP in HK and currently be on the run.

I think they call themselves neuroscientist now. That seems more respectable, like a real science. I'm sure people will say "no, that is different". But that is what we are discussing, Psychology grows and branches and now there is something called "Neuroscience" that is more refined, and has narrowed the field to something measurable.
I don't think it's a secret, but rather something that most people don't have the inclination to dive into. The use of subsidies for national security is displayed on federal websites and in Congressional bills.
I've been using guix since 0.15.0 and haven't seen it as much of an issue. Sure, channels will sometimes be out of sync with the latest commit but that's to be expected given that you're likely not following a version cut but rather the latest commit. It's easy enough to bump the package locally (inherit, etc) or contribute an update which solves this for everyone.

Needing channels for non-free is a feature as the system will be pure by default and can make progress towards fully reproducible builds for all packages rather than having several blessed non-free blobs around that drain maintainance time.

For the record, I use linux-nonfree, amdgpu, iwlwifi, firefox, and steam.

Hardware-wise it should be pretty good, given that Intel has XMX instructions for matrix multiplication. But the software tends to be quite young and immature.

Also, for AI you often want lots of VRAM. The A750 has just 8 GB, which is the same as other lower-end GPUs. The A770 has a 16 GB version, which I think is the cheapest 16GB GPU, with AMD's RX 6800 a distant second.

Unless you are willing to throw poor people in prison over kittens, you can't really effectively enforce pet ownership laws, because the judgement-proof will keep pets.

I'm glad to see more discussion around remote/in-office work being a preference. I hate wfh and feeling stuck in the house all the time. However, I don't expect that everyone else must match me. I think it is good that some companies are landing on both sides of the fence and people will weigh their office preference as another part of their comp package. Companies will have to decide how they want to compete. They will have to decide on what exceptions they are willing to make to attract talent and that seems good for everyone.

Since all companies are under the control of their respective government, I think the most prudent course of action on the individual level is to try to use services controlled by a government that has no practical control over your life

Instead of thinking of it as us vs. them, think of it as your own personal threat assessment. Google is all nice and friendly now. They serve all that JS and Fonts for free and give you free storage, calendars, teleconferencing etc... but how about in 10 years when they start loosing revenue to some AI startup that is better than search? Will they be so nice with your data then?

I use a Xiaomi phone , a Huawei laptop and an Aliyun email .. if they are exfiltrating my data and know which AI porn I look at.. It has zero impact on my life. They're not even able to target advertising to me because they don't control the relevant platforms (I guess they could sell my data to Google, but it seems unlikely). I hope the Chinese are doing similarly and using western platforms :)
