Coming from Hong Kong, I would say we need to keep it going not matter how depressing it is. Or one day, you will even lose the means to fight. That's what happened in Hong Kong.
The track record in other industry is that it might make things more expensive at first then back to affordable once the engineering solutions have matured. There is a clear incentive for companies in making things cheaper after all. It means both more profits and access to new market segments. That’s the magic of legislation: it can be very effective as a tool to give a direction to research and development.

Just ask Stable Diffusion 1.5 to make an image of a human body (without a negative prompt). The first few times I tried that, I guess I experienced shock from the body horror I was being presented with.

But eventually I learned that I just had to politely but specifically request that it NOT show me images of amputees, three-legged monsters, birth defects, conjoined twins, broken arms, extra fingers, etc. etc.

Then it usually works pretty well.
I'm not sure the users posting from an scientific denialism perspective are actually in tune with science, though I haven't bothered exploring their profiles. A lot of technology and engineering isn't really in tune with science either, even if its brilliant. Because it is not science after all.

But even people who excel in some part of science are also just people, who can be extra 'stupid' in other areas, which can even be other scientific disciplines. The 'extra' comes from an additional pitfall with people who have a track record of intellectual success in a certain area: they sometimes are overly confident on area's outside their expertise and appeal to their own authority (which they don't realize they do not have).

As for this forum, I think most of the comments are actually politically motivated. There is this all consuming split between The Left and The Right, fought mostly along the frontlines of the culture wars. But somehow Climate Change ended up on The Left, and a lot of naive techbro optimism feels more at home on The Right. I imagine they don't really like dealing with things that aren't easily fixable by technology, or with the negative consequences of our technological advances as a society. Thus they resort to denial.

It really is a pity, this means it is very hard to have a decent discussion about the science, and also to have an honest political conversation on what to do about it. Online conversation about this topic for the most part feels like yelling at the other guys how their sports team stink.
In this particular taxonomy, programmers are software developers [0].

The about-page [1] says ESCO is meant to work as a dictionary providing a common language on occupations and skills. That's all well and good. I just hope no one in the EU is tempted to use the ESCO classification in a formal manner (it reminds me of when I was a captain in the USAF, and my designated role was 3055 Comm-Electronics Engineer). They'll never keep up. For example, the Software Developer occupation lists a lot of programming languages and frameworks under "Optional Knowledge", but I was disappointed to see that the list doesn't include C, Go, or Rust.

I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus (v1/kevin). I was looking for something that wouldn't be too cumbersome to carry around with my work laptop during my 1hr commute and at roughly 1cm thick and 2lbs this machine fit the bill. I swapped the OS to ArchLinux ARM and used it as a light dev environment sticking to nvim+lsp.

These days I work from home and rarely use it - just for writing.

Who did they sell it to? That person is now a cofounder presumably. I guess it complicates the story a bit. Selling means you don't believe in the venture - you are doing the opposite of what you are asking the investor to do!

If they sold it to get another expert on board and the 100k went into the company that might be different I suppose.

I don't see banks adopting it at all for consumer banking. I work for a bank; I can tell you a bank isn't interested in adopting any technology that introduces friction for high-balance customers.

But it didn't. It just forced governments to reveal the existing lack of privacy.

The author thinks that you are more free if you face the wall, so you don't see the bars of your jail cell. SSL that forces a government root of trust on you is still an improvement, because it reveals what the government was already doing, and it limits surveillance to only the government.

On the contrary, this is playful, it is not evil or abusive. also helps keep companies on their toes. Changing someone's username without notifying them AND consent should be frowned on.

Why did you swap?

There’s no reason to use vscode other than it’s free.

Even the first party plug-ins are disappointingly bad for all languages other than javascript.

Unless you’re heavily using js/ts, and lightly using another language, the vscode language support for many languages (in my personal experience, specifically python, c# and c) … it’s just bad.

It’s free. It’s great to get something like vscode for literally nothing, but if you’re not constrained by the (relatively trivial) cost of the JB products, there no meaningful reason to move over the vscode.

…but that isn’t new, and as both a pycharm and vscode user, it should come as no surprise.

So… nothing has meaningfully changed?

The new UI is vaguely annoying, but vscode like, if it makes any difference to you. The refactoring and autocomplete is categorically superior.

The vscode collaboration stuff is better than the half baked IntelliJ stuff, but it always was.

The vscode copilot plugin is better than the IntelliJ one, which is a bit flakey in its suggestions sometimes, and screws up the default autocomplete sometimes.

It still uses a lot of memory, but so does vscode once you load it up with plugins.

Eh, tldr; if you left for a reason, there’s probably no reason to come back.
I'm really not convinced they have any good reason to do this under data protection laws, certainly not EU or UK (for US YMMV).

This is transmitting personally identifiable info (name) on person B to person A. The purpose of the email is legitimate. Duolingo have a good business motive to get you back into their app after you've signed up and have an active account. In fact they'll want to re-engage you within a certain timeframe before they lose that legitimacy.

But the use of person B's name. They have no legitimate business reason to do so in regard to person B's data protection rights. Person B will not have given explicit permission for this (as you verified in this case).

This is not privacy by design or default, it's the opposite.

Person A is now an unwilling data processor for Person B's data on behalf of Duolingo as the Data controller. That's also a huge fuck up by Duolingo, as they'd need to list Person A in their privacy policy as a named third-party processor (which you obviously can't do as that's another explicit permission instance they'd need from Person A).

If Person B were to now make a deletion request to Duolingo, what do they do? Ask you to delete the email?

Repeating the caveat that mileage may vary for countries outside of Europe but frankly this is the way data protections is going. Incredibly stupid for a big company to pull this tactic anywhere in the world in 2023.
That’s not far from the truth. A lot of these companies are located in Northern Virginia, and the sales people are tied into the intelligence community.

My banks all have different mechanisms, but all around limiting the amount.

For instance in one of them I can add trusted accounts for unlimited amounts (it takes a random time from 24 to 48h to get it through), for all others I have a really low limit for transfers between 8pm to 8am and a bit bigger for daylight.

Another bank added location detection with gps through the mobile app and I can add the trusted places to make bigger transactions.

Let's say I want to buy a car.

I can immediately transfer for instance US$ 1000 as a signal of intention, add the car seller as a trusted account, and wait 48h to transfer the rest.

In the worst case, If I get abducted by a criminal my bank app mandates the gps to be turned on for any movements. If my family moves fast enough with authorities this can help locate me, and also coordinate with the bank means to monitor the account.

On the other hand some abduction criminals are settling with smaller values to move fast and not get caught, but in these cases they will do some gross mistakes. The problem is the police forces doing more mistakes than the criminals.

For frauds without physical contact, it increased the amount between elders, but at least in my family we came up with a strong framework to check with someone like me that is more digital literate to provide some "consultancy" to the elders.

My dad for instance had a extremely high limit because the bank manager did a mistake, even on a traditional private bank account. I talked directly to the manager explaining that her actions were against the own bank recommendations.

And oh, this is not different from the past were the elders were compelled to give money in physical form, with elders hiding this from the family for some reason.

The amount of scam in my family is stable for now between the old way versus the new way.

The thing just moved faster (it took few hours for the rest of family to find out), but safer (the elder in question didn't need to physically handle the money).

It worked well as a cautionary tale.

Mama Musk vetoed it.
> Kinda spoils the whole effect of a headline like "$FOO surpasses credit card institutions". It'd be news if it didn't.

Not necessarily. The banks are required to implement it and provide it as a service. The real win of the system is actually how good it is, and how in some instances it's better than using cards.

These days, whenever I'm there, I favour Pix over cards whenever I can. To me personally, it's not only more convenient in some cases (and the only option in others) but it's also a way of avoiding sending data and money to the likes of Visa and MasterCard.

Argentina has adopted the system to attract Brazilian tourists as well, which means as a Brazilian you can get away with a lot there even if you don't have an international card.

I took a lot and identify with a lot.

But I was wondering how much of this is the effect of the internet on cognition? Specifically in the "ADHD bingo", there are things like "having 50 tabs open" or "forgetting why I was looking at my phone". Isn't that just computers destroying our attention? Or do I have ADHD?
It’s basically ‘Facebook for professionals’. I don’t love Linkedin, but I think it’s nice to see what former coworkers/people in tech are up to, which companies are hiring, stuff like that. I have quite many connections on Linkedin that wouldn’t be reasonable to have on Facebook. Still interesting to see what people are up to, IMO.

Getting offers from recruiters have been very useful and lucrative for me.

Whenever I’ve signed up for a new job in the past ten years, the recruitment process was initiated by recruiters who reached out to me via Linkedin. My email address is easy to find. But it’s very rare for recruiters to reach out that way. More than nine out of ten times they reach out via LinkedIn (at least in my experience).
75% of aluminium supply is from recycling aluminium products.

The economy sort of has a "working capital" quantum of aluminium which also grows steadily from aluminium mining.

Lots of metals have very different and complex supply structures and thus completely different $$$ / volume curves for their supply.

Understanding the $$$ / volume curve of commodities is not something that is commonly considered when people try and predict the future. Mining a billion tonnes of Aluminium from an asteroid for example and safely landing it on Earth can never be profitable because the $$$ / volume curve for Aluminium is $0.00 at billion tonne volume.

Steve Wozniak had 888-8888 for a while. Which is a très cool number to have, but he was getting hundreds of calls with nothing but random sounds in the background.

Pretty much nobody would use that on a standalone keyboard either. They had to know the design isn't practical for the stated purpose.

However, it does make a nice little trophy/trinket. It's merit based, so getting one could become a goal for contributors. It's branded. It fits on a desk.

If they made it twice as big and called it a trophy, it'd probably make more sense. But then costs would be higher and it'd be more formal.

Big Bang Theory seems to have done this right.

David Saltzberg, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, checked scripts and provided dialogue, mathematics equations, and diagrams used as props.[4] According to executive producer/cocreator Bill Prady, "We're working on giving Sheldon an actual problem that he's going to be working on throughout the [first] season so there's actual progress to the boards ... We worked hard to get all the science right."[5] Saltzberg, who has a Ph.D. in physics, served as the science consultant for the show for six seasons and attended every taping.[23] He saw early versions of scripts that needed scientific information added to them, and he also pointed out where the writers, despite their knowledge of science, had made a mistake. He was usually not needed during a taping unless a lot of science, and especially the whiteboard, was involved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory
