For a entry-level developer in a large French company you would aim a 50k€.

But this is just the bare salary - you will have to take off about 20-30% for various taxes. But then you get free healthcare and education, and retirement.

Some companies will have a bonus ("intéressement / participation") which can be an extra 10 to 20% once a year.

You would typically have a straight salary, no equity or something like that.

When you look at the most senior positions, this is about 130k€.

But it really depends on the city, on the industry etc. Generally speaking your salary is not that big, bt you have extra advantages (such as the social committee, a company-funded organization that will reimburse part of your vacation costs, give gifts at Christmas, ...)

Imo, this kind of draconian interpretation will only lead to China being the world leader in ai (a country who has a history of not really respecting ip and copyright).

I believe Japan has actually passed a very permissive ai law basically allowing AI's to learn off copyrighted content as well. But any country that essentially bans AI learning in this way will simply fall behind.

I think that is really unlikely, because Prigoshin stated that the war was a misstake and that Ukraine was never a threat to russia.

That is 100% against every major decision of Putin and a direct attack to his authority, even though he softened it up by stating he was wrongly informed by the military.

Another way to think about is that finance attracts people who care about money, tech does not.
That's in fact the real problem, and I don't think it's solvable because it's irrational. Only rational things are "solvable".

Here's a similar conundrum: Without using a human as a "living proxy ruler" or actual sales data, come up with an algorithm that uses only empirical data (not touching human behavior around it!) to determine the fair market value of the Mona Lisa. Then, apply that to some artwork it's never seen before and see if it concords with what "meat computers" (humans) believe the value of it is.

My strong position is that not only will you not be able to do this now, but you will not be able to do this ever.

I think rationality will get us VERY far, though, so we should keep doubling down on it. My money's on it being insufficient to produce an apparent intelligent and unique being, though.

I'm still trying to understand is twos-complement multiplication.

When you're computing the product of two n-bit numbers, the product potentially requires 2n bits of representation.

As I discovered in the RISC-V "M" instructions [0], the n least-significant bits of the result are the same, regardless of whether each operand is signed or unsigned.
However, the most-significant n-bits of the result are contingent on the signed-ness of the two operands.

Anyone know where I find get a good explanation for that?

I own two Reolink cameras. These are very cheap, like 50 EUR or so, and come with wireless and ethernet connectivity. They speak RTSP and have a web UI. You can set them up entirely locally through that web UI.

I cannot attest whether they phone home or not as I run them on an isolated network, but they work fairly well and the web UI exposes all the features the camera has.
As cool as this is, it shouldn’t be necessary. A proper undo turns every command into the equivalent of a “try”, allowing users to experiment without fear of data loss. Everything in a computer user interface should be undoable.

This has been known for over 40 years, but the industry has been very slow to get the memo. The undo implementation on the iPhone is a weird joke. CLIs have barely even tried (with a few exceptions like Jef Raskin’s Canon Cat, a textual UI completely different from anything else I’ve ever seen).

Maybe one day…
That’s a great point and I agree with it.
Just to play a bit of a “devil’s advocate”, GCd languages productivity boost comes from exactly this: both in Rust (where it is explicit) and in other low-level languages, low-level design decisions leak into public API interfaces. It’s great that it is explicit in Rust, but depending on what you work on it may be better to just have the runtime deal with it. (But clearly the C-FFI API surface is the worse of implicit requirements that may not be uphold at all)
I think the change in circumstances in some Middle Eastern countries has been even more dramatic. Places like Abu Dhabi were small towns with houses made of mud/palm fronds in the 1960s.
Random thoughts:

Prigozhin agreed to a fake stand-down; his troops have been in action for 18 hours, this allows them to regroup and rest for a night and commence again in the morning, with some drummed up excuse.

Prigozhin didn't get the support he expected from the military, so he was was motivated to settle, but had enough support to threaten Moscow, so Putin was motivated to settle. Outcomes - a hardliner in charge of the Russian military, Putin quietly retires in a year or two, hands over reigns without the violence.

Prigozhin was threatened with a tactical nuke, decided it wasn't worth it.

One of Prigozhin's desired outcomes - a change of the guard in Russia's MoD was inevitable given the incompetence shown in the defense of this mutiny. Even if things got truly violent and Wagner was destroyed by force, Shoigu and Gerasimov were out.

Prigozhin's communications are a mix of brutal honesty and subtle manipulation. His allies are a mix of the competent and the fanatical. Overall, the whole thing is bizarre. I'm not convinced it's over.

>made no claim that those two links were definitive proof

They implied their confidence through the rhetorical use of "What are the chances?". That was not a genuine question.

> circumstantial evidence can still be provably true

Circumstantial evidence MUST be true to be usable.

The circumstantial evidence provided in the articles was:

- There was a denied research grant that was going to look into modifying the furin site of coronaviruses. It was denied though, and as far as we know, never done.

- The furin site was complex, but could've evolved naturally.

- Some scientists think it could have been of lab origin.

- Some scientists think it could have been zoonotic origin.

All of this is true, but it doesn't mean a lab leak is "probable" or "more than likely".

>Every study I see leaning towards a lab leak origin

So even the studies that lean towards the theory qualify that the evidence is not definitive. We're back where we started.

Definitive or Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: No

Probable or More Likely Than Not: No

A strong possibility: Yes

The Hit ’90s Toy That Terrorized Parents Is Returning to Shelves
That's awesome, it feels like an area worth exploring within the shell. If I had a magic wand and I could create an ideal shell experience, I'd love it if you could soft-execute a script in a notebook style environment where each command can be inspected and tweaked before committing the change. It feels like shells are still incredibly constrained and that they haven't evolved that much since the 90s.

The defaults are kind of crazy as well. Every OS should ship with a `trash` binary that puts a file in the Trash without actually deleting it, rather than recommending `rm`. I get some people are perfectly happy to play without guard rails, but I'm sure some of us would like a few more guard rails which we can tweak.

I think another similar innovation is how with NixOS you're supposed to be able to diff system changes between upgrades with ease. Which makes sense, since your OS config is usually based on the vendor default with a bunch of changes applied on top.
Social credit administered by private firms in the US for Europeans is the good kind of social credit. We'll rent it to European governments.

> Looks nifty— basically it's the "let me try that in a container first" except on your live system with no setup to get it going.

Also, if I understand it correctly, it saves doing a potentially expensive operation twice: `try`ing actually performs the operation, ready to be committed; whereas, if I understand correctly, if you do something in a container and it works, then you still have to do it again "normally".

>To me this looked like an “all in”, but apparently, they think it wasn’t. What could have convinced him and his troops that any promises made would be held?

My guess is that he was counting on support from within the Russian power structure that was promised but then didn't materialize, and now he knows that following through would be suicide, and giving up at least offers a non-zero chance of survival.

Another possible explanation: it was a setup, planned by Putin from beginning to end in order to improve his strongman image and eliminate Wagner as a threat. Prigozhin was given the offer to play along and end up powerless but rich - and alive. That offer could be credible because if Prigozhin gives up control of Wagner, he helped Putin and is not a threat to him anymore.

> In 2021, Proximus bought out BICS' other shareholders, making it the sole owner of both the telecom interchange and TeleSign.

Curious how the article's headline goes out of its way to emphasize "US vendor" when the puppet masters in the underlying corporate structure are entirely Belgian.
They pay for the cost of that service. This is an optional service for those who choose to register a vehicle. Charging people things based on yearly income means the richest people will pay nothing as the bulk of their income isn't realized yearly. Maybe you want to charge people by total wealth but in those cases the richest have wealth available under different names in parts of the world unauditable by a state agency. Add in the cost to determine these figures now it costs a few thousand to register a vehicle.
Other than the reality of British occupation, I think most of what you said was provably wrong.

For example...

> The difference is that the Irish famine was just a big whoopsie while the Holodomor was an evil plot.

Have you heard of Charles Trevelyan? He was in charge of relief efforts during the famine, but he had a different take on the issue which informed British policy. In his words:

“The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people.”

The Famine was a natural disaster which would have led to some amount of starvation and death, but that natural disaster was GREATLY enhanced by British elites who saw it as a convenient and "natural" solution to Irish overpopulation.

In many ways it shares the hallmarks of the Holodomor, with "we care about trade" used as a cover for genocide.
Sure, a great team lead can boost productivity of other engineers. But you dont end up with world changing products that way, you just end up completing some incremental project on time. Probably alot of the core innovations at OpenAI were done by < 10 people.

Agree in principle, but I'm not sure if it's possible to implement Undo for all shell operations. But there's a lot of existing systems out there, and anything which can be adopted incrementally is a big win.

Another shell variation I like is using trash rather than rm.
A small plane can carry 1-4 people at 120 MPH consuming about 11 gallons an hour, for a "MPG" of about 11 (miles in the air don't exactly translate to ground because air flows but it evens out over time).

Even with modern efficiencies available, I doubt they'd do more than double that, so a car would still easily win, unless the car had one person in it and the plane 4.
> Idk why governments think they can make things cheaper simply by just saying "this is now the new price and you can't change it".

Because authoritarian regimes and price controls are two sides of the same coin.

Economic power == political power

By ceding economic power to the public to kickstart their economy, authoritarian regimes would be ceding political power.

In contrast, by implementing price controls and vouchers/subsidies, they place the government in charge -- only government-permitted economic activity exists, which prevents people from gaining power themselves.

To those regimes, scarcity is preferable over price increases. Scarcity makes everyone grumble, but allows winners and losers (via the government choosing). Price increases just make everyone grumble and realize how poor they are (internationally speaking).

Or in summary, you're optimizing for efficient economic activity.

They're optimizing for regime stability and survival.
I think there are some interesting use cases where I could see myself using this every day.

Say your a Django developer, using the dev server and a SQLite db. Every time you restart the dev server you can easily reset to the previous state, SQLite db reverted, any other media uploaded or modified changed back. All with no setup, no containers, just prepend "try".
Or so rich that people come to you
UK has council tax bands based loosely on property value, but it's not very regularly reassessed so it's not very progressive.

Norway has a wealth tax of up to 1.1% of wealth, with discounts based on different types of wealth and a minimum deduction of ca. $150k. Discounts are based roughly on how liquid assets are. Houses etc. are valued at 25% of market value, so let's say you have a $600k house, the taxable value is $150k, which falls entirely within the minimum deduction, so most people pay very little wealth tax.
I'm the OP. I was specifically referring to registration.
Pretty sure that bit’s broken. Anyone seen it give any other value than 11%?
Ballast tanks don't work at these depths because of the extreme pressure, which is why all these deep sea vehicles are submersibles rather than submarines.

> If you ask for a loan when interest rates are at 15% your house price is going to be lower than when interest rates are at 1%.

In a stationary scenario, yes. But in a scenario where interest rates just jumped up after being very low for decades, it's likely that prices haven't come down in reaction to IR up. How long it takes for prices to react depends on other factors.
Yes, the second option is the one used in the argument.

Is there actual data that compares the quality of life for this? I’m curious to see how my city stacks up.
Neat trick. What about commands that impact the running state (or other external systems) and not just the file system? Would that also be rolled back? Take effect? (I'm not familiar with namespaces)
All systems are unsustainable if the money coming in, is less than the money going out, so the main problem is maths and economics, not private or public.

While public care systems don't need to turn a profit, but they also can't run on a huge deficit because you can't have it bankrupt the state, you still need money for education, defense, infrastructure, etc. so while there's no pressure to turn a profit, there's a huge pressure to cut costs wherever possible, while at the same time a huge political pressure to keep the voters happy who want their cake and to eat it too.

Both systems have their pros and cons but both can be made to work if managed right and have money or fail if managed poorly and run out of money. IIRC Singapore has a well thought out privately funded healthcare and safety net system.
From the article:

> Normally, I would probably not make these member functions, but since The Witness is a more C++-ish codebase than my own, I thought it was more consistent with the style (and I don’t have a strong preference either way)

My interpretation of this is that normally he'd make plain C structs and functions that operate on them. So quite far from anything people would normally describe or think of as object oriented.
It violates the right to due process and to face one's evidence and accusers. I don't find it particularly relevant that the ruling class hides behind a facade of privatization to perform this abuse, and frankly that excuse should be wearing very thin these days, especially in light of the recent IG report concluding very clearly that the government performs exactly the abuse I just described and especially in light of the Twitter files.
