> I read elsewhere that they were given six weeks to design and build the cylindrical hull. And that he OceanGate CEO had sourced a bunch of out-of-date prepreg carbon fiber from Boeing, getting a great deal, and said that 'those aerospace guys may need those dates but we don't'.

Apparently Boeing denies this ever happened[1]. The story comes from a claim that Stockton Rush made to a reporter - weird thing to lie about, for sure.

I filed an GDPR/ICO complaint against my university student's union when I discovered that they were using the same password for all the student society/sports club outlook accounts (which regularly processed things like passports and other personal data). They didn't permit changing the passwords on these accounts, and I assumed they were doing something stupid like keeping the passwords in a spreadsheet somewhere, but I was definitely surprised that they used the same password for all 200+ distinct accounts.

Their legal team got involved and eventually they did the reasonable thing of letting each group set the password directly and delegating permissions properly.

IT is sometimes shockingly bad about this kind of thing.

Though we should note this only works in the absence of collusion. If a bidder colludes with the seller, then they can increase the amount the highest bidder pays by bidding a very high second-highest bid.

If the bidders collude, they can get a very low price. This is (obviously) true of most auction systems, but for sufficiently public English auctions, bidders that are otherwise uninterested in an item might bid on an item that is going for obviously far below market.

What toot said. Substack is not really giving you news. It has some very good writers, but they're not out there developing sources, breaking stories, conducting investigations, or doing primary research of any kind mostly (except in the instances where a research scientist is also a writer). It's largely people with some expertise and writing skill reading the news and giving you their take. Someone still needs to actually produce the news for the writers on Substack to even have anything to write about.

It's the current government that is the major issue with the country right now. They're unpopular, figuratively and literally. In the last election, they got very few of the first votes, and they were only able to get into power with coalition of arguably the worst political parties in the country. They are well aware none of them will get into power next election, and are using their time in power to not only profit financially, but also ruin this country to sabotage any following government.

If you'd like a good example, the vast majority of the politicians in power are landlords or land owners. In recent years we have seen massive inflation in property prices and rent. There's been an erosion of protections agaisnt homelessness, and large payouts for landlords.

Leo Varadkar when in power was caught in broad daylight committing corruption. Giving confidential documents to a friend who owned a health clinic. The criminal investigation was brushed under a rug.

There's hope with a new goverment, it would likely be quite left leaning and many parties involved would be socialist of some form. But to be fair there are massive problems socially with Ireland, same with the Netherlands and in turn a lot of other European states.
Has anyone been able to create a prompt that GPT4 replies to with copyrighted content (or content extremely similar to the original content)?

I'm curious how easy or difficult it is to get GPT to spit out content (code or text) that could be considered obvious infringement.

Tempted to give it half of some closed-source or restrictive licensed code to see if it auto-completes the other half in a manner that is obviously recreating the original work.

Nothing. IMO that’s all been done: replacing the printing presses with the internet made it incredibly cheap to publish journalism. Producing journalism, however, remains a solidly human task that resists automation. And every time anyone tries the result is notably inferior.

Can we just stop with the types of articles and agree that everyone is different and that the best strategy is to provide flexibility for employees?

Where I work, employees can work from home or in the office, THEIR choice. There are no mandates. As long as you’re getting done what you need to get done, no one really cares where you do it.

I know several who thrive in an office environment and that is where they are most productive. I’m a Director and for me, I am far more productive at home because I have fewer distractions and without the commute I can start work earlier and get a lot done while I’m my most productive then end my day earlier. and enjoy my afternoon. I still do 1 on 1’s and various team activities but a big part of my job requires focus which was nigh impossible in the office.

I also have been in far better shape mentally and physically. I no longer have the stress of a 1 hour commute (each way), sometimes 2 hours coming home due to traffic. And I am in better physical health than I’ve been in a decade because I can cook a healthy lunch and not rushing for dinner whereas in the office we ended up eating at restaurants or fast food. I can make better healthy choices. The extra time I have because of no commutes has allowed me to take up cycling which has done wonders for my physical and mental wellbeing.

Now, I know everyone isn’t like me and different people have different challenges but it’s the CHOICE for employees that is so powerful.

Lastly, from a company standpoint, I love my job and I love where I work, the extra flexibility just makes me want to stay that much more.

Did German jews get a tax break? Or was the burden carried by all?

Generally, I think the nuanced take is that nobody is saying they don't want to help right past wrongs if the effects are still present today. They’re saying that doing so on an artificial boundary of a protected class is toxic and backwards and does not positively contribute to the solution.

What if we just invested more in poor and disparaged communities and added a 10% federal poor and disparaged communities tax. I don't see anything rhetorically sour about that (the number isn't the point). A burden shared by all to work towards a better world given to those communities with clear needs…

> In America, the socioeconomic class of people of non-white races has been systematically kept as low as possible, through racist systems. Affirmative action (race based admissions quotas) is one tool to breach that ceiling.

According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U...

The per capita income for "whites" in the US is $36,962

The per capita income for the following groups is higher than that:
Indian, Taiwanese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean.

Similar results for median household incomes.

I couldn't easily find the data but I've seen previous reports of sub-groups of "blacks" that also have higher median incomes than whites (as a group). Ahh, here is an article talking about the success of Nigerian immigrants, as an example. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211001...

In one year, the people involved are basically the same. In 50 years, a lot of births, deaths, and immigration have changed the population dramatically.

There could be a discussion about one year vs ten years or something, I don’t know. But it’s irrelevant to the current topic.

Just do what’s right based on individual circumstances. If person A is poor, help them, don’t discriminate against person B. That just feels like a government trying to pass blame for its own failed social policies over the last 50 years.

>> Perl can also be hilariously unreadable: https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol4_3/tpj0403-0017.html

Most programming languages can be obfuscated. That does not mean people write code in those programming languages like that:

C: https://www.ioccc.org/

Javascript: view-source:https://www.google.com/

The truth is that insulting Perl is considered stylish by some, so many people do despite knowing little to nothing about Perl and having never used it.

It's easier to prove you have a special skill. They pay you more because they can't hire a replacement. In the other case, you have to prove how much better you really are. Of course, the trouble with specialization is that the skills take time to acquire and can be commoditized or become obsolete with a paradigm shift. A more risky proposition in tech than, say, medicine.

I think you have a different definition of "open source" than I do at least. LGPL is (IMHO) a true open source license.

I agree though that some licensing changes would really help them grow. I think they've hurt long term adoption in exchange for short term revenue. I don't blame them, baby needs new shoes after all, but as a huge fan of Qt I would love to see them become a standard. The product is good enough that they deserve it, but the license can be a bit scary for people who aren't already familiar with it.

It would be that politics eats tech, but culture eats politics.

And strengthening your PoCs is a predictable cultural consequence of any organisation where leadership forces PoCs in production.

For leadership to align incentives is to prevent engineers from suffering the consequences of PoCs pushed to production. What you described may work in some situations.

The reaction I described is a kind of back and forth, if a bit conflictual. However, it's leadership's responsibility to ensure that communication happens in a non-conflictual way.

The technique is the soft-field landing technique, required for every pilot[1]. It's for landing on soft surfaces such as a grass strip. You must land with the mains first and keep the nose wheel held off of the ground for as long as possible, gently setting it down. You don't need a complex aircraft for this.

This is the same technique the delta pilot used, and by other pilots that had an abnormal nose-wheel deployment.

Plus, the managers really couldn't tell who knew what they were doing and who didn't, so the money just sloshed around to everyone.

I remember a ridiculous TV commercial where a stereotypical pointy-haired boss guy was talking about hiring programmers, and he said "a candidate told me he dreams in code, and... I hired him on the spot!" And it was unironically framed as if the boss guy was doing an amazingly smart thing!

It was a crazy time.
It depends on whether you consider a headline and part of a sentance the content or not, I I guess.

It sure doesn't seem to me like creating a link & giving people an extremely concise blurb that hopefully entices them to follow it is the content. As an individual I expect to be able to cite things in the world and to tell people how they can read it too. Legislating that basic right away feels like madness.
> Redlining

As an aside, I’ve always been confused about the dynamics of redlining. Wouldn’t refusing to give any mortgages for a neighborhood reduce the cost of buying a house there? Is the idea that it was purchased by landlords and everyone was made to rent instead of buying? Lowering housing costs for a group generally doesn’t seem like a bad thing…

Just think about logging polymorphic object IDs. If you see an identifier with a type you can immediately know what table it is in and you can even build super simple tools like browser extension that let you look up objects by IDs as is. You can also just share these IDs as is with folks on Slack to debug etc. and they know exactly what kind of entities you are talking about.

Companies are not allowed to discriminate in their hiring. In other words, it is not legal to have affirmative action in a hiring decision (e.g. only hiring female candidates or only hiring black candidates).

To get around this, companies do a couple things to increase the likelihood of hiring an underrepresented person into a role:

1) They will quietly try to fill up their candidate pipelines with people who match the criteria they are looking for to increase the likelihood they wind up hiring a candidate who matches.

2) They will apply the "Rooney Rule" which says at least one person from an underrepresented minority group must be interviewed for a position before a hiring decision can be made.
