I don't doubt that you've experienced this, but frankly it sounds like amateur hour. At any significant scale, with competent leadership, executives will not have bandwidth to review sprint boards, and are actually looking for the opposite: reliable coarse-grained control. Of course, this requires a lot of trust, which also depends on a critical mass of competence up and down the chain. There may be times when subordinates are getting things wrong, and leaders have to deep dive to understand and correct things (particularly when competence is lacking in the middle management layers), but that is necessarily the exception not the rule.

Unfortunately even in healthy orgs where leadership concerns itself with results and appropriately delegates process and execution to experts that understand how the sausage is made, you still find a lot of lower level managers or even ICs who embrace the ceremony and rote process of Agile as a substitute for really reflecting on the quality of the team's output at a higher level and over longer spans of time.
You don’t need to need temporal elements, the simple fact that UUIDs are a bad fit for B-Trees means that simply inserting a bunch of data that relies on a UUIDv4 for its unique ID, will also run into these same problems.

You’d typically see this as either lower performance of a table than you expect, or higher IOPS usage of your database (which gets expensive at scale).

Bring real-world objects into VR but render them in the style of the scene which already exists. (99% sure not possible with this API). Basically, if I'm playing a flight simulator/etc, I want to be able to see my water bottle, keyboard, mouse, cell phone, etc so that I can easily grab them. But I don't want the immersion to be broken.

Track conversations I have with other people and use an LLM to remind me about the relevant conversation history we've had.

What you are describing is morality, not ethics. You would probably benefit from an ethics course.
I think we're well past the heated debates around covid time, and companies know it. It's either remote or nothing for so many of us.
Your examples do not involve people living in a democracy with universal right to vote.
It's also bad for accurate science. Unless you have a team of researchers that can feed 100% accurate data talking points to you in real time, someone is going to make a "mistaken" claim at some point that could lead the debate to an entirely inaccurate direction.

Improv and theater training would be better than scientific understanding in this arena, so why is one group trying to pretend it isn't?
Good point. Added a screenshot from Typesense Knowledge Base powered by Struct. Thanks!
I am all for doing things together and that is usually how we men bond. However, we do need each other emotionally as well, when stuff gets real.

I have been going through mid-life issues lately. Its been hard to talk to friends about it. I have talked to older men as well as peers. I have made it a point to overcome the fear of opening up personally (make no mistake, its a fear that kept me from opening up to others before). I am a strong believer in letting it out there in the hopes that others are able to help. To many of the men I know do not want to show weakness. They try and look tough/strong/having it together, but really they are lonely because they have no one to help them through their struggle. The hardest part is that they choose this by deciding its more important to look strong them to have encouragement from friends.

I have seen a discouraging trend. Those that are not able to open up about their own issues are the ones that are not able to help me when I am going through issues. They don't know how to relate and its almost that some of them are afraid to enter into a deeper need. They have nothing to say, even if they can relate their words are empty because there is not a deeper bond there. The friends that have helped me are the ones that have actually reminded who I am and what I have already come through.

I am not saying we have to be a touchy feeling but when my friend is in a dead end/low paying job (in his mid 40s), had a side project partner back out on him, has to move out of his apartment because of new renters, and has a wife that is in increasingly dissatisfied with apartment living and tells say "I'm doing ok" on the phone... He is dying inside and won't let others in.

I am not afraid to go there with my buds. I will also so say that the men I go deep with always walk away from the conversation thanking me and grateful for the friendship.
Well, you could have had that for cheap: being US-based currently makes you non-compliant by default thanks to your government's warrantless surveillance (look up Privacy Shield and why it died).

But, no, none of these things are required to be GDPR compliant. Of course if you want to build a business on processing PII (and especially if it's any of the protected categories, e.g. you want to process personally identifiable medical data) the GDPR requires more effort from you because it's harder to maintain your users' privacy while doing this. And if you actually have no business doing this but still need to find a way to coerce your users into surrendering their data against their own interests (e.g. behavioral analytics, insurance risk scoring, etc), it's even harder to do this in a compliant way and opens you up to more scrutiny (rightfully so, I might add).

These things are not required to be compliant. These things may be involved in demonstrating compliance. But the lengths you have to go to to demonstrate compliance is very much a function of how privacy invasive your business is. A nuclear power plant will have more detailed radioactive waste management and radioactive material containment plans than a watch repair shop that occasionally handles radium-coated mechanical parts.

Specifically, other companies may insist you go to greater lengths to demonstrate your compliance to them if they want to do business with you, the same way you don't just buy nuclear waste containment equipment from some guy on eBay.

I did mean it literally when I said treat PII as radioactive.
Just a quick reminder to everyone reading that AI / ML (let's face it, it's 0.1% AI and 99.9% ML) is still a ton more than just SOTA Deep Learning models. Depending on where you work, it could be all classical machine learning methods, and zero deep learning - or the other way around.

Having a broad enough understanding in ML would be a good starting point, along with solid SW engineering skills.
> Hotez appeared [italics mine] to offer a conversation with Rogan as an alternative to a debate with RFK. Jetelina thought it was a good alternative. “More of an educational kind of approach, question and answer,” she said, “may be helpful for a large audience like that.” With a Q&A, the focus is more on learning and less on winning.

Is Hotez actually willing to go on by himself?

People equating Joe Rogan to Jerry Springer probably never listened to him. He gives the guest time to talk (maybe more time than they really need) and doesn't reach for a soundbite.

By the way, I got the sample of RFK's book about Fauci, and couldn't get past the first chapter. He definitely writes like a nutcase.
It appears these robotaxis need an emergency button similar to the ones on industrial robots. But instead of completely stopping, a remote operator immediately takes over and bugs out. Meanwhile, the AI can take a backseat and observe how to respond in a situation like this. Because obviously they don't have enough training when dealing with emergency situations.
I think this needs a better title to get more attention, I tried to submit this as "A physical camera modelled inside Blender that an take photos" and got sent here
It seems to me there are two basic types of people - those that think:

> Being hateful, insulting, or otherwise offensive is not a big deal if we can still work along.

and those that think:

> I can't work along somebody who is hateful, insulting, or otherwise offensive.

I'm not sure either group is completely right, but it seems that being nicer would solve this whole problem...
A lot of VisionPro news that are appearing seems oblivious that the Quest 2 and that virtually it does everything VP does... that's typical of the Apple ecosystem I guess.
does it ? I sounds like it’s less for knowledge basing and more so for if you have a question this is where we’re at you can come ask.
Now this is something I would like to know more about!
> This is the result of drug addiction not the cause.

Where'd you get that? Studies I've seen of homeless addicts show that a simple majority were not addicted when they became homeless. Certainly it's a common cause of homelessness but still only accounts for a minority.
so...what is the opposite of freedom?
Non Liquet
Here's an article that discusses accessibility features in VisionOS: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/07/apple-vision-pro-access.... It's a summary of a WWDC session that I haven't watched. One of the items in the article says

> Dwell Control will provide on-screen options for Tap, Scroll, Long Press, and Drag, allowing for users to interact with the interface without using their hands.

Does the article address any of your concerns?
That's the point. In print you can cite your sources. Meanwhile, in verbal debates you can make up whatever you like and things happen to fast for anything to be verified. A study in Berkeley where they followed university-level debate-teams in 1996 by Liebowitz and Gagne[1] found that about 63% of the verifiable "facts" used in this format were inaccurate, generally trivially so but nobody noticed.

Likewise, it's easier to deceive somebody in verbal formats than in print. Canadian pollster Frank Graves of Ekos Research tracks misinformation with a "misinformation index" where he polls people about provably false statements. People who primarily consume audio or video news, rather than reading it, across all political lines, reliably score lower on this "misinformation index".[2]

[1][2] I'm making this stuff up and if this was a verbal debate you probably wouldn't know that, whereas in this format you can trivially Google these things. Graves does write about Misinformation Index but has not done anything about print vs audio.
What point is it making if it gets downvoted into oblivion by both people who don't get the point and take it sincerely, and people who do get the point and roll their eyes at it?
Loss of fossil fuel assets would not impoverish general public
I agree, doing things to prevent a penalty is probably worse than classic positive reinforcement/conditioning, doing things to get a reward. It's not healthy in the long-term.

However some things are generally pretty awful (such as standups) and don't really have a positive outcome that's easy to focus on and identify as a reward - not in my place of work anyway, YMMV!

So yes, in this case I could go because it's my duty (and try to feel proud of that!) but arguably forcing myself to turn up by focusing on what happens if I don't is also pretty effective, and is basically just like jump-starting a car - as other commenters have noted, merely beginning the undesirable thing is the biggest hurdle.
What fake controversy? There was a real design flaw that apple responded to by insulting the intelligence of their users.
It seems like all kinds of toxic, dangerous substances were socially acceptable to use until the 50s and 60s, when recreational drug use became a symbol of the new culture war. From Jamaican immigrants in the UK using more cannabis, to Mods with amphetamines, Hell's Angels with cocaine, Beatniks with jazz cigarettes, Hippies with pot and LSD, and eventually homeless veteran junkies and segregated inner-cities with heroin (later crack), the entire world's straight-laced societal norms were being uprooted, and one common thread ran among all the different non-conformist groups: drugs. "Drug culture" became synonymous with the other, bad, low, foreign, corrupt, criminal, and those seeking to supplant old social norms and conventions.

Before then, drugs were widely used by all classes (although not much recreationally). Housewives took "pep pills" to clean longer without getting tired. Airmen were given amphetamines to fly for 36 hours straight. Cocaine was in coca-cola. Laudanum was the West's miracle pain killer and palliative. Cocaine was only made illegal in 1920, and heroin in 1924. And of course I'm completely ignoring alcohol, despite it being the world's most abused intoxicant, with its own share of bizarre social norms and demonizations attributed to social class.

The idea that people use drugs to "alter their consciousness" is intoxicant romanticism. People use drugs because it's a fun distraction. Drugs as a concept have never been a societal sin, they are medicine. It's the association between an unpopular social group and a particular drug that causes the drug to be demonized.
> This makes it impossible to use any components hosted by third parties without getting consent by the users.

Sounds good to me, that's the way it should be. I shouldn't have to use third party extensions to stop my browser from automatically loading facebook crap every time I visit websites that aren't facebook. Companies should only include 3rd party components in their websites if there is a very good reason for it, and only then after the user has explicitly consented to it.
Google Glass really didn't work very well and didn't really have a decent software story. I'm not inclined to write off AR for all time just because Google Glass failed.
A family member was a NY fire fighter many years ago. The Soviets had a lot of people at the UN, and they had diplomatic plates. They would park wherever they wanted, often blocking things. There was nothing the police could do.

The fire chief decided to have fire drills. Whenever a cop saw a car with diplomatic plates parked in front of a hydrant, they would call the fire department, who would come out and perform a drill. Upon seeing the vehicle blocking the hydrant, they would practice breaching through the vehicle to attain access to the hydrant. The vehicle would not survive in a drivable state.

The Soviets complained, but stopped blocking fire accesses.

EDIT: the firechief could solve this by putting truck or police cruiser style bullbars on their vehicles and "carefully nudging" the miscreant vehicles out the the way.
I've recently embraced Svelte for my side-projects, hackathons, and personal endeavors, and I must say, I'm absolutely enamored with its developer experience (DX) when compared to React. If you're interested, I've shared some of my thoughts about this on my personal website: https://www.kabirsewani.com/blog/why-svelte . (However, if personal links are not permitted, I'd be more than happy to provide a brief summary instead.)
Because textual thought is abysmally inefficient and inadequate.
The article mentions that employees can take remote control over the cars but sometimes that’s not enough to fix the issue.
> nobody has successfully cobbled together an alternative to the FSF. It wouldn't be hard. GPL 2.0 hit a better sweet spot than 3.0. Nobody has stepped up to the plate.

Is there a current need for the FSF or alternatives? There's a wide variety of licenses already developed and between GPL2 and 3, LGPLs, AGPL, BSD/MIT, Apache, Mozilla, and normal commercial licenses, plus or minus PATENTS files, I'm not sure we need an organization that is developing another license, plus advocacy, plus developing a collection of fairly unrelated software at this point. I guess you could say the Apache foundation almost does the same thing, although I don't think they did much advocacy to use their license.

Yes, FSF was important, but when it winds down, it will not be replaced by one organization.
I understand that this is a pet peeve of yours. But what exactly stops you from learning what kind of data chrome extensions have access to (they can see everything on any page you visit and send it to perpetrators) and assuming the worst?
For authentication, you don't want federation, you want OpenID [0].

The "access each of them individually" problem is separate from federation and could be solved by having custom clients, such that one client connects to multiple discourses, e.g., if Discourse decided to use the Matrix protocol, you could use any Matrix client to connect to any Discourse instance.

You can do useful things without selling user data to Google.

Yes it's selling: You provied the data, Google gives you hosted services back. If you think embedded fonts are useful for you, you can host them. Then you pay the bill and not your users.
Well if you don't believe in any medicine prohibitions, then you'd be arguing against literally every government in the world (except maybe Somalia) plus the UN and hundreds of other IGOs, NGOs, etc...
It makes sense if you consider the devices being made now are faster and more complex than ever.

Multi core SoCs with different archs and memory protection schemes all sharing a bus. This complexity can be wrangled with device tree and Zephyr readily and has good company with other large silicon vendors being contributors.

I for one am looking forward to seeing more contributions and companies joining.
AI training data doesn't include public safety scenarios is malpractice at minimum. This is nuts.

Very very hard going for me. I have nearly 10 years of experience but only got one interview, and when the topic of money came up 70k was deemed much too high. I got no further contact from that company.
> Just not sure how you would do it.

Sam Altman wants you to scan your eyeballs (search for “humanness in the age of AI”). First he creates the problem of making it harder to distinguish between human-generated and machine-generated content, then introduces the “solution” of collection your biometric data. It’s the next step of his Worldcoin scam.

It's WireGuard, not Wireguard.
And China and India and Muslim countries. An absolutist aversion to abortion is a rather uniquely Christian position and the issue is not so hot outside of majority Christian countries and can be largely considered a peculiarly Christian matter. The second most negative view is probably in Buddhism (which, at least according to Wikipedia, also believes the foetus to be some form of a living human). Other religions may frown upon abortion and forbid it in some situations, but they still don't consider the foetus to be a person.
Ok, lets turn this around then.

What if you're right and they actually have a chemical divergence that keeps them from being happy, or counter, your brain has a chemical divergence that keeps you far happier than them.

Would this difference between you and them dictate your ability to deprive them from that happiness you have? "Sorry, you ain't got it, tough luck for you"
I've been remote for over 10 years, far before the pandemic, when the competition for remote positions was extreme.

At the time, I decided I wasn't going back to an office again if I could help it. Then the pandemic hit and suddenly everyone is remote and the whole thing flipped upside down.

Now it's a battle with return to the office or "flex". Thankfully, I am immune to this.

And I have taken a substantial cut in pay in the beginning for it to stay this way. I prefer the freedom and flexibility over more money, but that's just me.
Funnily enough, I work in technology in Europe and have consulted on GDPR compliance.

Organisations either care a lot of about their data obligations and have dedicated teams and reviews, or simply don't care, and don't want that cost passed on to them. And service providers, not wanting to lose a sale, just go ahead with whatever is easier. In this case, they shot themselves in the foot by not conducting due diligence for what would have been a fairly easy to recognise issue.

(or worse, were advised, and that advise was incorrect. But based on what I can translate in the original document, that is may not have been the case.)
I'd say a development IDE or a web browser can, for some users, come pretty close.
What's the difference? In both cases, your data is now in the possession of a third party that you didn't intend to be in possession of it.
I've had the pleasure of using Zephyr OS on an embedded bluetooth project with a few others. We were using NRF52x chips, with a dev board, and Zephyr was one of the least painful parts of the whole thing. Can absolutely recommend Zephyr in general.
My app had about 50 routes (by the design there were about 80 pages, but of course some common patterns emerged). I wouldn't call it large, but it's past "toy" and probably not "small" for most.

I didn't have a problem, so I'm curious what the previous poster ran in to.

the only thing I can think of is that it doesn't impose much structure on the "lib" folder -- that's where code/components that aren't directly in the route files go. But there's nothing keeping you from keeping that organized yourself. So that's not really a problem, but something you might want to think about early if you plan to build out the app in the future.
More "quality" data equals more better.

The argument here is the LLM generated text is now going to enter the corpus, muddying the waters and reducing the quality.

Subscription funded podcasts are now my primary source of news for my specific interests.

Ad supported infotainment is nauseating. Roughly the same low signal to noise across mediums (print, cable, radio, TV, podcasts).

I still sometimes scan corporate media headlines for general purpose news. And, obviously, use HN, lobste.rs, and others for geek news.
What an odd coincidence, after seeing Svelte for years I decided to actually try it for the first time yesterday, and now this drops. To be honest the timing of this is actually kind of a shame (just for me) as I haven't used it nearly enough to be particularly excited about this, but seeing as Svelte 3 was 4 years ago, I doubt I'll see another one anytime soon.

All sounds great anyway, congrats to the team!
I think in case of an emergency the doors of the car should get unlocked and someone nearby should overtake
While I do greatly prefer the long-form discussion shows over the short edited segments on network tv, what I'd really love to see become popular, in general, but especially in politics, is super-long-form, unedited discussion in text, like a days-long email thread style. Everyone gets time to express their points and counterpoints as clearly as possible with fewer emotional overtones.

It's far too easy for bad-faith actors to pummel good-faith actors with charisma, bullying, gottchas, etc. that are hard to recover from on the spot even if you have a better chunk of time than you'd get in a drive-by argument.

These two people could do this right now and easily publish anywhere, then Joe could discuss it on his show if he wanted to bring attention to it and even bring them on to discuss the discussion live. But I'm willing to bet one of them would never agree to that format. Or they'd agree and derail the conversation completely as soon it started to become clear they're convincingly getting called out.
