The oil vs water thing resonates. Given that tenures are relatively short these days (1-2 years), it's pretty easy to just wait it out -- especially if the other person has issues with other people too.

I do feel like too many of my examples (for this whole class of questions) are times I could've handled better (though I didn't handle them catastrophically by any means), that ultimately shaped how I think about such things going forwards (after a fair amount of introspection)). But I often seem to lack the examples of a subsequent situation where I put that into practice (pandemic meant I basically took a holding-pattern role for a couple of years).

One would think that introspection, recognition of ones own mistakes and being receptive to feedback would be a massive pro; but lately that hasn't been my experience when interviewing.
That sounds dumb. Smartphones are a part of everyday life. Expecting kids to not use them is either doomed to fail, or worse, it will make sure they learn less about how to use them.
Almost all of the city of São Paulo is covered in gang graffiti, buildings covered in these rune-like tags from top to bottom. It is extremely ugly, and of course also unsettling since it is a signal on who runs the city.
Short version: Red Hat ceased distributing RHEL sources directly to git.centos.org in a way that easily enabled Rocky, Alma and others to rebuild "bug-for-bug" compatible clones to RHEL releases.

Also, folks are realizing that Red Hat's subscription agreement allows it to terminate the subscription (and access to future source code) if someone redistributes code (including GPL'ed code) in a way that Red Hat doesn't like.

People who misunderstand the GPL are accusing Red Hat of violating it by not widely distributing RHEL source to everyone.

People who sort-of understand the GPL (or willfully misrepresent it) are accusing Red Hat of violating the GPL by "restricting" the ability to redistribute sources. IMO it is not, because customers have all their rights to the code they receive under the subscription prior to termination - they simply are blocked from later releases.

Red Hat has basically acknowledged that it "sees no value" in a free RHEL clone, and is under no obligation to make it easy for clones to exist - so it's not going to anymore. It prefers you use Stream or pay for RHEL or do something else.

I've been writing about this a lot on my blog, starting here: https://dissociatedpress.net/2023/06/24/red-hat-and-the-clon...

(Disclaimer: I'm a former employee of Red Hat, so I am potentially biased one way or another.)

Agreed (as someone in the English-speaking world whose first Linux distribution was SUSE) - though even SUSE uses rpm, as does TurboLinux, so in a very real way, they are standing on the shoulders of Red Hat.

I have a /64 from HE via tserv9.chi1.ipv6.he.net (184.105.253.14) and from my dual stack LAN hosts behind pfsense via Stateless DHCP (not DHCPv6), I recently began having trouble searching via Google's search engine over IPv6. Including via Chrome browser's search bar and Firefox the same, also just a straight up search from site google.com and to verify, the same from ipv6.google.com. I get great speeds via Xfinity speed test (IPv6 & IPv4) over Spectrum Business Class rated at 300Mbps. I considered getting a /48 as recommended, but I wondered if plain old firewall rules for LAN might help. Rejecting all LAN IPv6 to an alias containing every Google search hostname and IPv6 address I could find. And it actually worked. Only the Google Search IPv6 addresses are blocked up high in the rules so Google falls back to the IPv4 search addresses, which I don't have to declare, it just falls back from IPv6 to IPv4 Google search pages and the multi-bar. Of course DDGo is always a preferable option for searching, but on Android devices Google Search is so integrated it's easier to live with Google. Such a simple solution and it works, so I'm not arguing. Every other Google app continues to run over IPv6 including Gmail,Drive, Docs, Youtube, etc. I am blocking IPv6 per:
google.com, www.google.com, ipv6.google.com, 2607:f8b0:4023:1004::64, 2607:f8b0:4023:1004::65, 2607:f8b0:4023:1004::71, 2607:f8b0:4023:1004::8b, 2607:f8b0:4006:81f::200e, 2001:4860:4860::8888, 2001:4860:4860::8844

“Open Source” is a proper noun defined by OSI, not to be confused with the general phrase “open source” which predates OSI. You use both interchangeably in your reply, which is invalid (apples/oranges). Please be more specific: do you mean the OSI definition or the pre-OSI colloquialism?
The latter. The institutions need to adapt, much like they did adapt to instant communication and the printing press before.

If the question feels unclear to you, that’s an excellent opportunity to ask clarifying questions, e.g. “Sure, but what do you mean by ‘conflict’? Do you mean a disagreement on how to solve a problem, or an interpersonal conflict?”

When I ask a question like this I mean a disagreement, and I’d imagine that’s what most interviewers mean too. So I recommend you continue to search for a situation you can recall in detail.

If the answer is that they’re looking for interpersonal conflict, you should use a situation where you took effort to work past it with the person for the good of the mission/company. Your last story could work if framed that way but it lacks a moment where you found a way to move forward with this person.
I get HNers often thrive on being the smart guy, so I get the urge to correct. But that only is tolerable when you're actually right. Try occasionally assuming that the person you're talking to know what you are about to mention and still said what they said on purpose.

In particular, you don't seem to have any understanding of what managerialism is or why I am talking about it specifically here. And there's nothing you mention here that I haven't been familiar with for at least a decade. So no, I am not looking for that term.
Dude from Sao Paulo here. I found this law a blessing. The picture in the articles make it look like the city is scattered with abandoned billboards but that's not the case.

>What stops you from fact checking after you get out of the school?

First, you will forget about all the bs they mentioned. Second, you can't confront the teacher over it or to ask them to clarify in a way that other kids will hear it too.
It's not just for sites which handle user data. MITM attacks are real. Non-tech people don't know what VPN, HTTP or HTTPS are.

Here's an example: a person goes to say Reddit, and clicks on a HTTP link about a new recipe. It's possible for a link to a malicious site being injected in the page. These were pretty common in developing countries.
I'm skeptical of how the results of the educational field apply to the individual.

They deal with very specific constraints because of classroom economy.

If your stated goal is to get every child in this room to read, then you're wildly out of alignment with the needs of the child who could be reading the classics by the end of the year.

Gifted and accelerated programs only alleviate the problem by a fixed amount by adding one additional more intense tier, which every child competes for to improve their university application profile.

Any person who tried to teach a child one to one for a short period of time learns how unfit school is. The only limit to their learning is the adult's energy and skill. While school is the product of several rounds of the lowest slowest denominator.

Kings and princes used to be taught by tutors they form long term relationships with. This is still the best way. School is the equivalent of feeding the masses dog food to keep them compliant.

NYC had a similar ban until 2015[1]. The problem was always enforcement: you can "prevent" students from having phones, but this means nothing unless (1) you're actively preventing them from bringing them onto schoolgrounds, and (2) taking phones away from students who do bring them into school.

Part of why NYC lifted their ban was because neither (1) nor (2) was practical: schools ended up adopting an "out of sight, out of mind" policy around phones, and actual confiscations led to larger concerns (e.g., students who were unable to contact their caretakers after school). It will be interesting to see if the Dutch can overcome either (or both) of these problems.

There's too much sand there. It's coarse and gets everywhere.
For me the biggest things were:

Learn about playfulness. Then understand how you're already playful by nature and hook into that (that took 3 years, once I got that down I got the results I wanted). Be playful and let her know sometimes (aka every 3 hours a small compliment) you're romantically interested in her. Some people see it as "playful and confident". If you can do that, that's it. Yes, really!

Learn how to deal with rejection (you'll get rejected a lot).

Have a solid strategy. Mine is: volume * conversion = amount of women who are romantically interested in you. My conversion is around 1%. So I need to talk to at least 100 women (during the day time or on Tinder).

Tinder, I can't say a whole lot there (I can coach you on it, email in profile). I don't think the folks on Tinder like my approach, but the women I've dated do!

Meditate. I went to a 10 day Vipassana retreat a few times, got me more connected to my body and emotions. It is direly needed. This is the reason why my name is mettamage (metta means loving-kindness in pali [1]). I did my retreats at dhamma.org

Does RH not sell individual copies of RHEL to random members of the public? Is it strictly a large customer account product?

Because if they distribute a copy to an individual, RHEL account access banned or not, distribution of binaries puts them on the hook for providing sources. Unless there's no way to buy a single copy as a random stranger, this all seems incredibly impractical to enforce.
The first iPhone was about $600 which wasn’t that high when you consider the price of an iPod + cell phone combined. And people were regularly buying cellphones and that trend would only ever increase.

As for advertising driving consumerism, that’s undeniable but it’s unclear to me that consumerism is a net positive. We certainly can see all the negative things it creates in society. It also distorts the market in a way that funds are directed to things that may not be as important but has better advertising.
Not seeing anything about the dataset, are they still using LAION? There's no mention of LAION in the paper and the results look quite different from 1.5 so I'm guessing no.

> the model may encounter challenges when synthesizing intricate structures, such as human hands

I think there's two main reasons for poor hands/text

- Humans care about certain areas of the image more than others, giving high saliency to faces, hands, body shape etc and lower saliency to backgrounds and textures. Due to the way the unet is trained it cares about all areas of the image equally. This means model capacity per area is uniform, leading to capacity problems for objects with a large number of configurations that humans care more about.

- The sampling procedure implicitly assumes a uniform amount of variance over the entire image. Text glyphs basically never change, which means we should basically have infinite CFG in the parts of the image that contain text.

I'm not sure if there's any point in working on this though, since both can be fixed by simply making a bigger model.
Have tried this out, and yes actually using it in any capacity risks an account ban with no recourse.

My takeaway from Cluetrain was not that there would be actual humans communicating. Point 3: "Conversations among human beings sound human. They are conducted in a human voice." Key word being sound, here. Many of the rest of the points discuss how to sound human, but not necessarily how to be human.

My best advice is to research competing products and what people have to say about them.

If it's a physical product, Amazon reviews are an incredible resource. If it's a digital/software product, use Google to search for "Alternatives to X", and then research each alternative. Again, look at what people are saying about the product.

What you're looking for is a gap in the market that your product can serve. If everyone is complaining about price, is your product cheaper? If everyone is complaining about complexity, is your product easier to use? If everyone is complaining about a lack of features, does your product have those missing features?

You don't need a product that solves every problem for every person. You're looking for a few key problems that you can solve better than anyone else.

If your product doesn't solve any problems better than the competition, move onto the next idea.

Just to add some context here. Some of this doesn't line up with my experience.

- my battery life is roughly 2-4 hours depending on the game. I'm playing Yakuza like a dragon right now and the battery lasts close to 3 hours

- my screen is plenty bright. I don't play in direct sunlight, but I do sit out on my porch during the day and it's fine.

- I've not had an issue with it being underpowered. I played Harry Potter on it which is a pretty demanding game and it seemed comparable to the performance my daughter had on the PS5 with her copy.

- I've never noticed an issue with downloads and stuttering while playing.

- Loudness is about the same as a laptop or console while gaming. Same for temp.

- Ergo is a small issue for me as well. The size and bulk of the deck can make my wrists hurt after some time.
