> Additionally, Scharf received a reprimand for not using preferred pronouns in notes related to an interview he conducted with a job applicant whose preferred pronouns did not align with their biological gender. Scharf argued in the lawsuit that he refrained from using any pronouns during the interview and only used the applicant’s biological pronouns in internal notes.

It is so easy to just always write "the candidate" in your interview notes, and never need to write any third person pronouns. Certainly he was making a stand, rather than just non-confrontationally abiding by his beliefs. Obviously one wouldn't use any gendered pronouns in the interview since we only have "you" in English - though I imagine "refrained from using any pronouns" is a misreporting.

One of the first things I virtualized was a Barracuda spam appliance, the fans were extremely loud and the AMD chip was slow, so the interface to your spam inbox was slow, etc.

Pulled the hard drive and loaded it up into VMmware ESX 2(?). It flew and there was one less server/appliance in my rack.

Barracuda was one of this early companies that made a very useful product out of free software. I idolized that and wanted to work there.

Then they were taken over by some outside company, started making all kinds of products that weren't in their core, support faltered...I'm kind of surprised they are still around.
There are also no unsubsidized fire departments, police departments, public schools, public parks, etc. Analyzing only the first order costs/benefits is really not a good way of analyzing any infrastructure project.
I agree with the author about 99% of what's written here. Except for the preference for thin views (i.e. thin controllers and fat models). It seems to be me that the author goes to great lengths to decry the abstractions inherent in CBVs (and other patterns) which hide logic from the user and make code harder to read all in the name of "DRY". Except that pre-emptively moving your queryset methods into another model does exactly that! Sure, if you're repeatedly doing some super-complicated joining and filtering - by all means move your logic elsewhere. But my experience with this pattern (mostly in Rails codebases which seem to love it) has been tons of extra functions scattered around models that don't actually get used every time and often themselves become out-of-date.
>Could they prove that I copied that single line from them? Would anyone care?

A year from now, you could decide to write something, and the obvious appears in your mind, and you type it out. It just happens to be identical to a line that you've read from a licensed document.

Did you copy it? Were you inventing, or remembering? Did you copy/paste from your own mind? Should you attribute the one who lugged the block of marble last year? What about last week? Everything you'll ever think is informed by everything you've thunk before.

This is a good reason for the law to not care about small things.
> Drivers simply pay for their road use through various taxes, and not directly.

Taxes that are also paid by those who don't drive, yes?

Are you arguing that when a car parks on the street, there's no actual value to that parking spot? The article is just arguing that there are externalities related to car use, and I'm confused how you conclude these externalities do not exist. Is it the use of the word social that makes you uncomfortable?
You certainly can subsidize large populations because taxes cover all income but are being used specifically to encourage just one more of transportation. If driving wasn’t so heavily subsidized, people would use other options because the true cost is much higher than what people see directly – it’s not just roads but also things like below market rate storage, zoning rules requiring owners to build more car storage than they necessarily want, and especially not requiring drivers to carry insurance sufficient to cover the full cost of their mistakes and decisions.
Intel and AMD sell laptop chips with comparable performance per watt to M2 laptops. If you're buying an M2 Ultra desktop computer, your primary concern is performance period, not performance per watt.
macOS doesn't really have multiple instances of running applications. Apps have a single instance with multiple windows, and the mechanism for managing windows and open apps is separate.

A lot of Windows applications now also behave like that behind-the-scenes, though that isn't the default behavior and requires some cross-process signaling.
That's true, I see what you mean. It was an important realization for me that the cost of things is often more than just the money on the tag.

To be fair, infighting is extremely common in left-wing circles
I’m not all that fond of being called “it”, so yeah, I have a pronoun preference. There’s a vaguely similar choice of prefix (?) such as dr mr mrs miss ms etc. I don’t like the miss/mrs distinction and use ms unless it pisses off the recipient. Another preference. They could have just filled in the form, and left it at that. They’re probably claiming to be a Christian and the big guy wasn’t into judging or false actions. Live as an example, surprise people by helping out (big guy liked that also) and don’t make their lives worse because of your insecurities.

You don’t know their problems. Nobody died and made you king.

Oh, as someone who creates computer applications “Use the default” is a common action. People looking at me or most others make all sorts of assumptions and accepting the default works in most cases. I can leave those blank.
I like class based views.

But either way if your views are getting complicated you're doing it wrong. Views should just be plumbing to glue together the data you want for the template. All your business logic should be methods on your models, and if those are getting too complex they should be importing separate modules. The views should mostly be boilerplate.

The reason everything should be on the model (or atleast a separate module if you're a functional zealot) is so you can have your same logic available in your async queue, the api, cron jobs, and the shell for troubleshooting. If you have any logic tied up in the view it's a huge pain to access from anywhere else. And I don't know about you, but I always end up needing the logic somewhere else.

'thestepafter replied that "if it’s important enough to you then you will give it the time it needs", and this is technically true, but the trick is in the term "important enough". Some things are rationally important to me, but become barely noticeable emotionally (recent thought: it seems to be partly caused, or at least correlated, with the very act of putting them on the TODO list) - and remain so until I find myself in the middle of a crisis caused by endlessly delaying them. Like a flip of a switch, they suddenly become priority #1. At that point, I either give up, cross them out and take a hit, or finally deal with them, at the expense of whatever it was I was doing at the moment.

It's a really dumb pattern, but one I can't seem to break myself out. Random example - illustrative enough, but on the lighter side (as in: it often happens to tasks with much bigger consequences of failure): fixing things around the house. A broken child's toy, or misaligned piece of furniture, this kind of stuff. If I feel it'll take more than 20 minutes of concentrated effort, it ends up on the list, and... remains not done, even as my wife occasionally reminds me about it, until eventually she's so frustrated by it that I start to feel really bad, at which point the task suddenly becomes so important that I drop everything and finally get it done. For some reason, until such moment, I never feel like I can afford those 20+ minutes of focus and effort.

(Outside view: half the time, the task turns out to require less than 5 minutes of actual effort. But often enough, such 20 minute job turns out to be a half-day job. It seems that my mind tends to assume that second case will happen 100% of the time.)
Immorality is a tricky subject but the original commenter was specifically talking about illegality. Whatever your feelings about Palantir's business (and the defense contracting business as a whole) I don't think there's any convincing argument that Palantir is engaged in illegal or illicit business.
That sounds like such a disingenuous argument, he could have just selected he/him as his pronoun and be done with it. That is actually the gender he identified as. Instead he wants to use a pronoun that makes a political statement specifically targeting others he does not agree with.

There is an absolutely massive gulf between "free (or fixed list price) and immediate, just use these apps" and "locate a musician, bargain with them, pay, collaborate with them, wait for revisions, eventually get something usable (but not be 100% sure if I own the rights or not)." I wouldn't even know where to start; I'm too far out of my league.

Tackling the latter would likely exceed the entire effort I spent writing my little hobby game in the first place. I don't think it's even close; it was never a serious consideration. Some of these games I write in a single sitting. I do my best to piece background music together using a chord progression app, descriptions of keys and the notes they contain from Google, and premade drum loops and instrument samples. It comes out worse than if a real musician had made it, but getting a real musician was never really an option.

It's the same for the art. I don't have the time or money to pay an artist. They deserve to be paid fairly for their work just like musicians, but I don't have it and it's just a stupid hobby game. But even stupid games need art and music. So, homemade programmer art and music it is. The availability of better tools to help non-musicians hack something together is greatly appreciated. I haven't tried any AI stuff yet but I will next time.
Looks very interesting, thanks for sharing this.

Speaking of SponsorBlock? Does it affect the YouTuber revenue stream. Sponsors are not YouTube and not the owner of the video. They probably don't know the audience of the sponsored segment. It may affect the number of clicks on affiliate links, but I guess SponsorBlock users don't click much anyways.
> People also don't seem to understand Mercedes has a separate L2 system that works above 45 mph that already scores better than AP by consumer reports

Isn't Mercedes' L2 system non-upgradable, though? i.e. people with Merc's L2 system today won't be able to upgrade to L3+ later on, they'll need to buy a whole new car - right?

I bring this up only because I bought my X in 2018 with FSD prepaid - it's 5 years old now, and thanks to the gratis retrofitted computer upgrades it has the same level of FSD functionality as a factory-new Model Y purchased today - and I value that level of commitment to their carbuyers - whereas all the other carmakers I've ever dealt-with are the type that gladly charg $lots just for annual updates to the navigation maps SD card.

They didn’t pay 10B for the model, but for the market potential of the company creating it, and their human capital. I think calling this a bad bet is … premature to say the least.
That's a pleasant thought, but I'm pretty sure that the decision makers have learned from that experience and it won't be repeated.

I'd be keen to charge vehicles based on noise pollution, but I'm not sure how feasible it is. Does anyone know if it's ever been trialed anywhere?
Yea, sure you can argue for the sake of arguing

but yea it makes difference if the difference is

0.001% 0.01% 0.1% 1% 10% 1000%
Your sarcastic retort is not consistent with anything anyone is arguing. Nobody has said FSD is ready to be relied upon, least of all Tesla, who still calls it a "beta". This isn't what I said. This isn't what zaroth said. Nobody said it. So why did you say it?

I realise this isn't a simple argument, but let me try again:

DRIVE PILOT is ~100% capable of limited self-driving on ~0.01% of roads (a curated set of slow highways in California, unless rainy, foggy or dark).

FSD Beta is ~90% capable of full self-driving on ~99% of roads.

Different ambitions at different levels of completion. The comparisons you've been trying to make are, I'm sorry to say, fanboy-esque. "N64 Mario would definitely beat 16-bit Sonic in a game of tennis."
My experiences with YouTube and other platforms have been mixed.

I recently setup a personal channel for the occasional development video, for when the content doesn't quite fit into just a written blog post. On such a new channel with no prior uploads and without posting the videos anywhere else, I got close to 500 views on a video about the Godot game engine in less than a month. Yet, another video about Ansible had under 50 views in 3 months.

Meanwhile, a separate gaming YouTube channel where I upload Twitch VODs and such has over 100 videos, yet the most viewed video has under 200 views and there are like 20 subscribers on that channel, whereas on Twitch there are 50 followers.

I don't think it's quite possible to figure out the YouTube algorithm, but in general, I get the feeling (through my lack of success), that:

- Picking good video topics (popular subjects) probably helps.
- Picking a good video format (edited videos up to 30 minutes in length, instead of something like unedited stream VODs/super long videos) probably helps.
- Good presentation (good visual quality and content, some effects/transitions and just competent video editing) probably helps.
- Good audio (decent mic, audio not peaking but being balanced, some EQ, limited background noise, well articulated speech) probably helps.
- Getting people who are actually interested in your content watching it and interacting with it (likes, comments, watch time) probably helps.
- You probably need all of that, as well as a good amount of luck and the right kind of personality/manner of presenting to succeed.

In regards to that last point, I absolutely do not think that I have the right personality for this (for example, too passive/monotone voice), yet I don't mind using YouTube for those blog videos or stream VOD backups for the sake of it. Others probably experience 10x-100x the growth that my channels might. For example, a friend who streams on Twitch has gotten 50 followers in about 3 weeks on a new account, yet it took me over a year to get there.

I recently figured I'd try out YouTube Shorts on the gaming channel - I got about 400 views in a single day after bringing over some Twitch clips, but then views for those more or less fell off a cliff. Seems like they were presented to a wider audience at first to see if they're interested and when there wasn't too much interest, the content wasn't offered up that much.

The same applies to other types of videos - if you make development videos and nobody is interested in the topic or your video itself, then growth is unlikely. Thus, try to go for quality over quantity, yet upload somewhat regularly, if possible. Probably share the videos in any relevant communities as well.

I wouldn't call my experiences positive, but I guess that helps avoid survivorship bias ("Hey, I failed at the thing, here's some of the stuff I did and it didn't work."). At the end of the day, try to have fun doing it, listen to what the more successful people out there have to say, yet be prepared to put in more work than initially anticipated, sometimes with way less than optimal results. Good luck!
Not really. First of all the colours aren't "real" even in that raw, and second if you accept that as real, you can get per-pixel chroma information with Foveon sensors, pixel-shift systems, monochrome sensors with lens filters...
Properly configured VSCode with the Python Virtual Environment Manager plugin also makes this easy.

How do you know?

Subjective measurement of time is very inaccurate. I have experienced this, when I timed some regular activities I undertook every day, total habit. I would have said they took me ten seconds. When I timed them, it was forty five seconds.

I have no faith in anybodies' perception of how long they can switch context like this unless they have objectively measured it

Hi, great question :)

Twinning allows creators to keep an updateable set of documents we call Topics, which we then vectorize and keep in our database for easy retrieval. This allows fans to have one-on-one chats with the behind the scenes of the creator's latest video and what not.

The language of the creator comes from a combination of their talking samples as well as their instruction of the model. While there's definitely work to be done here, we have seen that our current system does a spectacular job at capturing the personality of the creator we're working with.

Thanks for the question, would love to chat more if you have any more questions!
I wish they would just open the floodgates. The vultures will realize that their extractive problems won't be solved by a generative model, no matter how "multimodal" its inputs are. Of course, that won't happen, because that would require certain charlatans admitting that their models won't hold up in half the places the even more greedy vultures are vying for.
When threads about Kaczynski come up, I try to remind people that the guy attempted to take down an American Airlines jetliner. He got a bomb on board in the cargo bay designed to explode at altitude --- and it did indeed explode, caused the plane to lose pressure, and filled the cabin with smoke. There were 78 people on board that flight, and but for the skill of the pilots, Kaczynski would have murdered all of them.
Anecdotally, I know a paying GCP customer that recently got quota blocked on the number of global static IPs they are allowed to create. We could not figure out how to contact someone to increase it, and nobody knew why the quota was set so low (4).

Huh? The Houston metro area has 7.5 million people. The New York City metro area has 20 million.

If you want to look at the city proper (not a great comparison since city boundaries are somewhat arbitrary) then it’s 2 million for Houston versus 8 million for NYC.

It’s not even close.
