You're describing something that contrasts with my own experience.

When I open the link I get the 'Sign In' pane, but when I click on the sign in button I get an error message complaining about "incorrect login credentials, please try again".

Not great, not usable.
And it never occurred to you to tell them "hey, if Twitter is blocking you, you can use these alternative networks where you get to control your presence so you don't get censored, and I will follow there"?

Shit, has it never occurred to them? Are you telling me that the overwhelming majority of the right wing influencers sees themselves as beholden to Big Tech that much? Wouldn't you at least consider the possibility that all this talk about "censorship" is just a lame excuse to rile up gullible people into a "fight" that doesn't really benefit anyone but themselves?
Did you miss the latter part of the comment? Waymo and Cruise operations in California have been explicitly authorized, i.e. written down on paper/databases, passed through the legislature that has binding authority on all of California, etc...
This is solvable by augmenting the database schema with comments.

When you integrate your database with an LLM, you'll notice the LLM will produce flawed queries based on wrinkles in your database schema. This is because the LLM relies on conventional understanding of how the schema is probably tied together. When you see the flawed queries, you augment the schema with a comment that explains why the schema has a wrinkle. The LLM takes that into consideration and the resulting queries are improved.

A concrete example[1]: I found that when querying the Sakila movie rental database, the generated query would frequently attempt to join the `rental` table to the `film` table through a nonexistent `film_id` column on the rental table. By adding the linked comment, the LLM stopped doing that.

automate the approval means here is that the person who will finally give you the approval, doesn't have to do this manually, he can just automate this permission giving process using github or jira API.
I worked at a place that was really toxic, bad enough that I talked about the coming storm w/ my doc and got a SSRI prescription proactively. When the product shipped (because I whipped it into shape) I got verbal abuse from a coworker in a meeting, I quit. Six months later they called me up and told me they were having a hard time finding my replacement, I told them if they wanted to retain anybody they'd better fire my boss, I saw on LinkedIn that he was fired the next week.

I worked on side projects for about 3 years including a vision for what could have become a big business, occasionally did some consulting work, partnered up with salespeople who couldn't sell, partnered up with "idea people" who had brought some of the best possible subject matter experts in and pretended to listen to them but didn't really, had LinkedIn bring a huge number of bullshit artists into my life, etc. Worked out at the gym a lot.

Ran up a lot of debt on my home equity line, got my wife pretty mad at me, rolled my car (it didn't even hurt!), got a real job (for a startup doing something similar to what I had envisioned), got fired (I might have been the only non-C level who thought he understood what the company was doing and that was trouble because being more experienced I could easily upstage management in all hands meetings), got another job, paid off my debt, did some work for a standards committee that realized the quest I had been on when I was unemployed, got some new side projects.

So it was not easy and did not work out the way I had hoped but I made it through and I like where I work now.

Whether humans have a significant impact on the climate is only a small part of the overall subject. Is it happening? How fast? What negative impacts will it have on civilization and the biosphere? Can we do anything to slow it down/stop it and should we?

Whether humans are a significant cause is really only relevant to that last question.
Athletes as well. I don't see how a "husband works in tech" answer is a letdown though, as really, what's a marriage for except creating the circumstances from which to grow. Over the decades my tech jobs have supported grad students, authors, craftswomen, actresses, athletes, among others and it was a pleasure watching them level up and grow. If I were ever to be married, earning enough to support arts or athletic pursuits would be pretty ideal. They're how you make kids brilliant and not be boring.
On greenfield projects, even at the Fortune 500 level, there is almost always a greater concern about execution than stack. Especially for smaller projects. They care about results, not fine details behind the means of getting them.
This is pedantic. Everyone associates SpaceX with Musk obviously.
Sure dude.

To be explicit. I'm not claiming what I felt/experienced was 'the thruth' or even 'real'. Just think it was for me the most 'clear' vision in my life, and that I feel a mild sadness it was so fleeting.

As-is, every unprivileged application you run can

- take a screenshot

- record the screen

- capture audio output and input (microphone)

- use and record the camera, if present

- read almost every file

- write and delete most files (excluding some OS-owned ones, without elevation at least)

- capture mouse and keystrokes

- use the internet without too much restriction

(Tbf, it’s mostly the same on Linux with X11/Xorg, but at least there’s more/better sandboxing and packaging like flatpak - and Wayland).

MacOS, AFAIK that is, is leading the way in this regard .
Because you might want to give your users a somewhat decent experience.
I think it's a mistake to anthropomorphize corporations. They are filled with people, some of whom are evil, some of whom are not, and some of whom are somewhere in between.
I learned it from an early age while I was finishing my BSc: I needed some "referral" letters from professors that I have worked with. They all told me to write something in Word, print it and they would sign it (it was back in 2001).
Still need to work CPI below 2.5% probably. But looking more promising.
What I'm saying is treat the board as a development harness to get your project going. If you have issues with the processor don't take it up with the board maker because they're usually just as clueless. The exception would be boards like RPi or Beagle where the designers are tight with or owned by the chipmakers themselves.
Board support packages very rarely get updated and usually target a very specific kernel version.

You move off that kernel version, no BSP, no boot. sad times.

This is one reason why you don't get android phones supported past the android release shipped.

You're completely at the mercy of the SoC provider. Promises of 'n' years support are quite often quietly dropped after 18 months, when they realise all the engineers have moved to working madly to get the latest SoC's BSP out of the door.

Rinse and repeat.
For me, it’s because the idea of “understanding the true nature” of anything, with no perspective from half the planet’s population, is ludicrous.
I'd like to see a list of jobs for which:

1. We generally value as a society

2. Two people both working the job and married to each other cannot afford to raise two children.

There are some jobs which we romanticize as being this way (musicians and other artists being a big example), but are we okay with e.g. social workers all either starving, or from wealthy backgrounds?
Yup, my brother is literally doing this. He stays at home, plays video games, writes his book. His wife literally works a coal mine to fund his career.
Roger Waters, Goodbye Blue Sky (1979):-

"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky

The tech companies are more in tune with market rates on freelancing sites than non-tech companies, so they say "we need golang, postgres, Aws and some JavaScript" and they know what that costs.

The non-tech companies say "we have this problem we'd like solved". They aren't going to limit to market rates because your cost in their eyes is a percentage of the profit that results when you solve their problem.

When they look at your cost they look at it in terms of their business. When a tech company looks at your cost they compare it to the cheapest reliable person they can find on freelancing sites, typically between $30 and $50 per hour.
Sounds like a market failure for hard jobs to get done at poor wages. What you really meant to say, economically speaking, is that harder jobs will cost more. Good. The current UBI is $0. Let's just increase that a bit.
Just because they themselves have outsourced the selection of the music doesn't make it a commodity.

It's like saying Michelin-starred restaurants are a commodity.

They aren't.

Once they are on that list they might be sort of interchangeable to a specific sort of person who just wants a generic "nice" restaurant and picks one off the list when they get to a city.

But they're all unique and different in really substantive ways, and also different from non-Michelin starred restaurants.

Your example of venues that hosts bluegrass works the same way. You trust the guy who books the bluegrass bands. If they just offered a gig to every band that asked you would hate going there and they'd close soon. Have you seen genuinely bad bluegrass? You don't like it, I can assure you of that.

You're just talking about curation. And the fact that curation is even possible proves what I'm saying.

If recorded music was a commodity there would only be one playlist because you would not be able to tell one playlist from the other.

Can your car tell Exxon from Sunoco? Can you drink a glass of milk and know which dairy it came from? Of course you can't.

THAT is what a commodity looks like.
Sure. But in terms of the actual day to day stuff that prevents chaos and clusterfuckery, that's what actually matters

People who engage lawmakers and public officials have a chance of shaping policy. Doing so is using the system as it's designed, so unless you have some specific criticism about the legitimacy of policy that came out of that engagement, it's not really clear to me how you could make a reasonable claim that will "make the world worse."

Generally speaking, the major problem isn't that some people do this (though some do in bad faith). The larger problem is that most people don't (and even fewer do so as concrete problem solvers).

Yes, this. I have written literally every letter of recommendation I've had myself, because every time I've asked for one, the answer was "write it up and I'll review and sign it."
A “graduated” project might find it easier to get adoption, contributors, as the guarantees (stability, integrity, security, governance) are some of the criterion that org use while deciding on tooling.

It’s basically saying: If you were shying away from using Istio in production, we graduated, take a look now?
Given the amount of money and effort going into these constraints today, one must concede that simply isn't true. There will always be an effort to constrain distribution of media because that is how the moguls keep rich.

So there's a filtering/refinement process. That doesn't immediately seem so unlike other commodities. I buy refined gasoline, for instance.
> Why would you need root on a typical linux system? A program running under your user account can alter config (in your home directory) to make sure it always runs when you log in, can add programs to your path by altering your path, can access all your personal files and can debug-attach to all processes and do what it likes with them (and your personal data) in order to spread mayhem. A lack of root access seems irrelevant to an individual user.

All true, but I guess I'd just say that the main difference is without root, recovery/removal of the virus is fairly simple (as is detection). To recover, reboot, login as a different user, restore the .bashrc/startup configurations to default, remove the virus. Done.

If a virus gets root access, really the only safe way to recover is a full system wipe and reinstall.

But I would say that typical linux is more secure than android. It's fairly uncommon to install software from untrusted sources. On debian, I'd do an `apt install xyz" for most stuff. I'm not typically just installing unvetted software from the internet, certainly not something emailed to me.

IBM put in a bid for PS4 (based on Power7 IIRC) but it wasn't selected. I think the convenience of getting everything from AMD helped them take over consoles.

Do you have any evidence that people cannot disagree with him when working directly in a professional environment (eg office, zoom call, etc)?

Meaning only the already wealthy companies can afford to take the risk. You're further empowering the rich.

This sounds like a misconfiguration or lack of support for policykit to me.

> Then some programs like VLC just straight-up refuse to run as root.

That IMHO should be the standard behaviour of most non-basic/GUI programs to me, running as root is overall a terrible idea.

Welcome to genomics. But based on your handle, I'm guessing you already work in a genomics-related area.

Genomics has a terrible hype problem, like ML. Genomics researchers have decades of experience making their papers souond far more significant and actionable than they really are.

We've mostly moved past the "we found a gene for..." which sort of considers phenotypes as mendelian (only two alleles per gene, independent segregation, single SNP is highly penetrant, etc) to the association approach, which as you point out, isn't satisfying from a causality or mechanistic viewpoint.

In adopting the association approach we have learned (unsurprisingly IMHO) that most organismal phenotypes (I'm treating this risk as a phenotype, which is a fairly loose interpretation) are caused by the interaction of the environment and thousands of changes to thousands of genes, all of which are non-additive and non-linear.
- Tesla was launched to transition the world to sustainable energy (not that electric cars do that up close, but never mind).

- SpaceX was launched to make us a multiplanetary species.

- Twitter was bought to fight the woke mind virus that is destroying the world.

One of the clear rules of PR for Musk is that whatever he says it must involve at least one whole planet, ideally multiple planets, galaxies, or ideally, the whole Universe. What is delivered is another story entirely.
I see most of those open-position LinkedIn posts as lazy cries for help rather than legitimate job search strategy. People swarm and post good reviews of the person as a coworker/employee, but it’s a waste of time. Sympathy is not worth a damn, no matter how many people tell you that you deserve a great job.

Chris Rock said something similar to my attitude: a person waiting on the side of the road with a broken car isn’t getting help. A person pushing their car on an exit ramp will get people to help.

Here are better job hunting strategies:

* Connect with anyone (just spam connect requests). You can easily have 5,000 connections. This looks good to people who take a cursory glance at your profile.

* remove anything on your profile that could be a potential liability for your future employer: no attitude, no rainbow emojis, no flags, no political statements

* embellish your resume and work history. If you’ve read a tutorial on a technology, you list it.

* start applying for anything you might qualify for. Interviewing is a skill and a process you have to get used to.

* Set your status to Open-to-work, open accounts on Monster/Dice/Blind/Indeed and start talking to headhunters/recruiters. Reach out to the big players (TekSystems, Robert Half, etc) as well as the smaller shops and see what they have.

* Personally ask or DM your friends for leads and references.

* search for “inurl:careers <your role or industry>” and find open positions to apply for anything

If you can’t get a job after following this advice, you’re doing something wrong.
Those two read a bit "Indian" to me; that is, like English that someone from India would write. Something similar happens when someone from my country (Mexico) writes an email/letter: You usually have to read it from the middle to the end, because the first half would be just fill-up text.

"Starving artists" have existed for millenia. The arts patronage system began either or thousands of years ago, depending on who you ask. People have paid lots of money for gold jewelry basically since we figured out how to pull it out of the ground.

I don't think it's that hard.

But if it is, then my point is that people absolutely do make the same complaint about any subject they don't like being told to learn.

Tech bros (generally) don't like being told to learn about art. And non-tech bros (generally) don't like being told to learn math.

React native imo. Expo is terrific and the library ecosystem, while it might feel like it’s one step down from web JavaScript, is still robust enough for what you need since there are more than enough people out there shipping rn apps.
> Memory will have random bit flips but I think they are pretty randomly distributed (or maybe catastrophic if there is some cosmic event)

Cosmic rays cause random bit flips, sure.

However, DIMMs going bad results in the same areas corrupting over and over. If you've run memtest or such with bad DIMMs, you'll see it telling you exactly which DIMM is bad, etc.

Now, dynamic memory management and virtual memory mapped onto physical memory complicate that picture... but you could easily end up with a single buffer used for e.g. TCP receive that lives in the same physical RAM region for the lifetime of the process.

Similarly, firmware bugs have resulted in very deterministic corruptions.
While I value The Unbearable Lightness (and it's more widely known because of the movie), I think that it's Immortality where Kundera is the deepest, the most inventive, the most subtle. (It's also written in a way that makes it really hard to turn into a movie, and the book explicitly mentions it in passing.)
