I was trying to change my policy with Geico today. The web browser "virtual assistant" told me I had to go to another page and gave me the link, but then the assistant and its button disappeared when I navigated away. I switched to the mobile app to try again. The available answers eventually got me to an agent who helped me, but part way through I left WiFi range and was disconnected. Trying to get on again I manually asked to skip to the agent and the virtual assistant got confused. So I clicked on one of the available answers and it got confused by its own answers. By chance I got back to the same agent, but it was definitely clunky.
Canada is simultaneously denouncing its own [existence](https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/land-ackno...) and facilitating more colonization.

It must be weird to arrive in Canada, and then be told your presence is illegitimate.
Given that cars rarely live longer than twenty years and we manage to increase the number of cars every year, I'd say it's very possible.

Relative to the USA’s really broken healthcare system, it’s still an improvement.
8 out of 10 is pretty darn good though right? Then again, a 9 year old is probably right 80% of the time, and a calculator 99%, so we need to compare to other similar tech. I don't know what to compare it to though. Maybe current product suggestion engines since that's basically what this "AI" is.

If it is real, then there's probably a billion self-replicating alien robots in the oceans already converting the earth to paperclips without our realizing it. There will be a trillion before we notice, and then we'll just get wiped out. No actual aliens will ever visit earth, just autonomous drone swarms trying to keep us from becoming properly space faring. After all, if we ever get to be properly space faring, we might interfere with it's paperclip goal

About 18 years ago, a P.A. took me into her office and gravely informed me that I had a thyroid condition and that I would need to take pills. "It is tiny pill" she said in her Slavic accent as I mad-dog stared her down.

Now, once upon a time, thyroid hormone was provided from slaughtered swine, and the natural substance was processed into a medication. This was too inconvenient and messy, and unprofitable, so the chemical manufacturers found a way to synthesize it.

Now another thing about the thyroid is that it adjusts to the amount of hormone in the body and will gradually shut down, permanently, as more synthetic hormone is consumed. Therefore, the more your dose is increased, the less your own body produces, and the more dependent you become.

So one blood test made me a Good Customer For Life(TM). I've been purchasing the generic synthetic from Wal*Mart for $4 per month. I am under no illusions that it is efficacious, pure, or contains anything but filler.

The thing about that, is that a lot of farmers own their farms. It takes many years to create a new orchard and there's only so much land suitable for the purpose.

New content vendors can spring up over night, even ones doing real news or expensive trips or whatever National Geographic (or any other outlet) is into these days. And now these writers don't even have the miniscule security of at-will employment.

They are going to respond readily to incentives because there is nothing tethering them to a way of doing business. They have no anchor so they will sail any way the wind blows.

When you have the security of actually owning land and equipment or having an employment contract you can sit back and think about stuff like professionalism and integrity. As it is, fewer writers are in the position to turn down demands that they churn out crappy little dopamine hits as fast as possible.
Humans have almost certainly been eating “stuff on bread” and “stuff in bread” since the invention of bread. Same with using sauces.

This is not for applicants I think. Only those with an H1B approved visa. The ones who have an approved H1B but no job in the US would move to Canada. So they are not targeting those who have a job in US ( they have little to no incentive to move any way).
I guess there's no unions for VFX work? They're meant to prevent companies from making unreasonable demands of workers, that are described many times in the article.

True, but the idea that everyone at Blizzard is working on cash shop items for the mobile game rather than the AAA title just doesn't bear even the most basic of scrutiny though.
It's been happening for a while now - I assume it's more in the news now as companies are starting to tighten budgets for the first time in a long time.

We've [1] been taking advantage of it - counter-positioning against DD by offering low cost and really straightforward pricing while NR and DD both have chosen non-sensical (to me and many others) pricing models.

At least from my perspective, it feels at least plausibly linked for two reasons.

1) They had 1.8 million subscribers when deciding to shut down. Each subscription cost around $40, so you're looking at $70 million+ in revenue, from the magazine alone. How much does a full time of editors, photographers, reporters, and more actually cost? With many failing industries it increasingly feels like the burden is not coming from operational costs themselves, but from these enormous administrative layers which essentially just drown businesses, yet are the last to see major cuts. If you can [apparently] barely afford to fund your editors, photographers, and more - where exactly should DEI rank on your list of concerns, let alone expenditures?

2) Changes in themes tend to push people away from businesses. I actually had to check the Wiki [1] to make sure I wasn't have some sort of false memory. I wasn't: National Geographic was always an overtly anti-political magazine. For instance it was able to inspire awe about the progress being made during the space race, while sidestepping the fact it was also driving mass militarization. Or give interesting and fun cultural insights across the Iron Curtain of the "enemy" during the Cold War, without at all getting involved in the political dehumanization games of the past (and especially the present).

Now? [2] 'Elephants are in trouble and we're to blame.' 'These Native Americans were taken rom their families as children' 'Kosovo wants to decide its future - but will history hold it back?' 'This scientist analyzes African American's past to inform the present.' 'This ordinary woman hid Anne Frank.' And of course a super-sized serving of focus on typical concerns such as global warming. And I'm not cherry picking. These are literally the headline articles for just this month!? This is how you lose your readers. People don't want to be preached or lectured to about your values, or why they're the worst, most undeserving living 'things' on this planet.

I expect the National Geographic, as many of us remember it, likely died long ago. And that probably happened when the business started being bounced from one mega-corp to another.

visa does not issue the credit (or the cards)
I don't know if it's necessarily bad programmers. Think about this analogy, there's a blacksmith that can make swords but if you want it done well, it's gonna take more time/money. That same blacksmith can choose to take on customers that insist that he make the sword quicker and cheaper (and probably shittier).

He's not gonna be the one using the sword and he can make it clear up front about the tradeoffs. If it shatters in use and the customer gets maimed, oh well, they were warned. Sometimes the market is flooded with people who just want cheap swords made fast and the blacksmith needs to pay the bills too right?
I agree. I spend far more that I used to because of the option to listen to anything I want.

Same.

This is amateurish math at best. Defining a new derivative operator that is mathematically equivalent to the normal derivative operator and then reformulating physics equations as some way to prevent human error is beyond absurd.

> Large part of the value of Linux for me is stability and lack of churn

Systemd is 13 years old.

As far as I'm concerned, the complains against churn run out after the project is old enough to drink. Especially if it's not just well adopted, but by far the most popular option.

In general, having open source but being afraid to change it sounds like hell to me. I personally believe in Linux & open source because it lets us keep improving & iterating & changing. Open source embodies the soft in software, and is the best vector computing society has for bringing light & clarity to a confusing but powerful man-made microverse.

It's true that energy density of batteries is a lot lower than gasoline, but electric motors are a lot more efficient. It doesn't make up the whole difference, but it does make up some of it. Also, battery technology is improving pretty rapidly.

Electric aviation is not yet viable commercially, but it will be soon. I'm working at a company building electric aircraft, and one of our prototypes has done a flight of more than 380 miles. Note that this is a prototype, in ideal conditions, with a tailwind, last few miles were circling the airport within the glide cone, etc. The actual production vehicle range, with all of the safety margins, seats for passengers, passenger weight, etc, will be a lot less; but still, 150 miles is enough for many commercially viable trips, especially in dense areas like the BosWash corridor, or getting from suburbs to a long haul airport, or many others.

Electrification can also make viable new architectures, like VTOL, and the extra efficiency and longer maintenance intervals can drastically drive down operating costs; so there will be many trips that are economically viable in an eVTOL that wouldn't be in conventional airplanes (due to needing an airport) or helicopter (due to high fuel and maintenance costs).
"having type annotations" and "having types" are two very different things. The people who say TS is too hard/not worth are most definitely not adding type annotations to Python/PHP code.

I don't know why you say that is the thing about that, or what the implications of it being the thing are. Substitute farms and apples for any product or service. A candy bar or a bottle of beer.

The conglomerate fad of the 60s led to some bizarre combinations.

ITT Inc. for example had:

- ITT Tech (a for-profit technical school that used to advertise relentlessly)

- Wonder Bread & Twinkie

- Avis Rent-A-Car

- The Hartford insurance

- Starwood Hotels

- Sheraton Hotels

They also made night vision goggles, HVAC systems, and phone switching equipment.

At one point they also tried to buy ABC (the TV channel).

> The hardware being limited is not an excuse

> Zelda looks and runs abysmally compared to any modern non-Switch game

Yeah, and all games for generations looked worse than Crysis on a souped up PC etc, but we all recognize that's a poor comparison.

We compare games to other similar games created and running under similar constraints (e.g. similar hardware, similar scope, similar budget) so that we can make useful comparisons. Zelda looks great compared to other 3D open world games running on the same hardware. It looks bad compared to Crysis. News at eleven.

But Diablo 4 looks bad and unpolished compared to the prior Diablo 3, a game that ran on worse hardware, made by the same people as Diablo 4. That's a very damning comparison, as there's no reason to do things worse in a sequel when the prior game made tons of money and was super popular and you've had tons of time to get things right with the sequel.
It’s insane… I’m still shocked this isn’t trolling.
Oh those were not universities. Those were what we call in Canada "immigration mills or diploma mills" sun standard educational institution with a very high tuition fees and low bar of entry. It's money for citizenship scheme run by Canada. Cheap below minimum wage workers leading to wage suppression is the result.

Unless your input is read-only you should always have O(n) memory available.
I find it helps to think about it like this:

Whether you specify them or not, the data moving around your application _has_ types.

Strings, ints, booleans - they're all there. You're just keeping that information in your head while you work.

By writing them in the code, you're simply offloading all of that and saying "I trust the computer to validate this better than I can." Which is exactly the kind of thing we should be trusting computers to do. They won't forget what type something is 5 function calls deep and they won't get tired from lack of sleep.

I know I prefer having the computer tell me I made a mistake while I'm developing something rather than a user emailing me after I've shipped it.

Wow. This is an amazing video.

A long time ago I was a part time overnight radio engineer for a faith based radio operation in the Portland, Or area. Literally the only reason they needed a person like me to be there was because sundown happens at a slightly different time every night and someone has to manually lower the power of the AM antenna and log that they did it and when they did it at sundown. If an AM antenna is broadcasting at full power on the dark side of the earth it reflects all the way around and causes very interesting chaos. I frequently muse about AM and the solar wavefront and how it could be used as a lens. No one cares. lol.

They had one kind of cool old guy that paid to run a late night AM/FM radio show, real theater of the mind shit. It was cool to run his show. Brother Jacob. I'm not religious or anything. But 100% of why they paid me $15/hr 3 days a week to show up and overnight be the ONLY person in the building managing six radio stations was about AM and it's insane power.

I really mean it when I say this is one of the best videos I've ever seen. There is something so fundamental on display here and I love it.

I'm a Canadian that's been trying to get into this field. There is no "talent" issue. Any job that pops up is flooded with applicants.

It's night and day compared to America. All the companies are in America, while we find only a handful of start ups or some branch's of corporations in Canada.

There's countless stories of "I have CS degree, intern experience, and portfolio of projects but after 500+ applications I can't land a job".

Both bad in their own way, both with users thankful they're not on the other system. It's a triumph of propaganda!

Yeah, I feel crazy reading these comments because D4 looks so much better than D3's flashy colorful-but-somehow-boring aesthetic. D4 brings it back inline with the D2 gothic era and its technological improvements over D3 are obvious and noticeable.
As someone that's used to live in Canada and is currently in the USA, this is not true. Six month wait time to get an x-ray for a hairline fracture, people dying because of long wait times for cancer screenings etc. In the USA things are expensive but you at least get access when you need it.

The happy path is just fine for many cases.
