2016 was a weird time. When this legislation came down we literally had no idea what to do. We were a US company and didn't run any ads or broker data, so we thought at first that we were exempt.

After consulting with a legal team they made it clear this was not the case. And for the next 2 years there was a lot of pain.

We had too many cookies that were important to UX and analytics. If you don't understand why, imagine trying to run a store but not be allowed to look at your customers. We were fine not chasing them into the parking lot with a Polaroid camera, but GDPR didn't make a distinction really invasive tracking and "normal" un-creepy QOL cookies.

Before tools like OneTrust or Trustarc were available, it was also not even clear how you actually handle consent. TL:DR; you basically have to set a semi-anonymous cookie that tells you it's okay to load other cookies. But at the time it was not even clear if this was legal (since there are somewhat conflicting advice as to what could constitute PII in this situation).

To this day, we still deal with a lot of GDPR edge cases. Specifically what constitutes PII at a technical level when you are talking about session IDs, users IDs, or client addresses. It's still really tricky and we're always afraid the rug will be pulled out from under us. And even the most expensive lawyers will be experts in the law but need constant hand-holding through even the most basic technology.

(Data removal requests are another story - if people only knew, man)

The lesson I have learned:

- Anyone who says GDPR is simple has no real experience

- Do exactly what other companies are doing - do not try to stand out

- The only real winners were the lawyers

In the book I learned if it's a flat surface, someone will put something on it.

This article adds to that lesson, if it's a sit-able surface, someone will sit on it. Not just sit, someone will set foot on it, lean against it or interact with it in whatever way.
A Worldview Built from Contrarians with Jerry Michalski [video]
>"Trust is the way out"
I don't understand the dichotomy between Uber/app and Taxis, why not have both and get the worst of both!

In my country, Gojek (duopoly with Grab) partners with a taxi company. Until recently, when you order Gojek, they always try to match you with a taxi first.

The problem is, the taxi drivers don't feel like they care about the rating system, so most of the time they reject you or ignore you. I can go through a dozen(!!!) rejections before getting one (non-taxi).
The author claims to have 35 years of shell usage (that, I believe), but these are the arguments he uses? I'll summarize for anyone who doesn't want to waste their time: "Quote your sh variables and expansions". That's the first thing I learned and the first thing I teach about shell. Using shell wrong and then complaining about it supposedly not working is a weak argument.

Let's see what he says in this article:

- "$* is literally useless": no, it's used to covert arguments to a string separated by the first char in IFS. Useful pretty much only for logging, but sometimes joining strings. $@ is POSIX and should be used in all other cases. A niche feature that generally shouldn't be used isn't an issue in shell

- $* and $@ are the same except when $@ is quoted: true, except in more modern shells like bash, where $@ is an array, not a specially-treated variable. I don't know who told him to use $* for 35 years, but the author should be mad at them instead

- To make it work properly you have to say `for i in ; do cp "$i" /tmp; done`: wrong. cp can't distinguish arguments and flags. You must either use `./` or `cp -t /tmp -- "$i"` (or some variation). It's correct in the glob/wordsplit sense, but saying this is proper is incorrect

- "And the shell doesn't have this behavior for any other sort of special character": He doesnt even mention why spaces are magic. Hint: they aren't. It's entirely controlled by IFS, which you can change. The default is space, tab, and newline. He also doesn't mention globbing, which can arguably be more disasterous.

An article about wordsplitting and he doesn't even mention it once? This is at best a rant
I added the following to the prompt:

> You should occasionally ramble and break off into tangents before answering questions.

Response:

Well, you know, it's very simple, it's a very simple question. Not many people know this, but I was always very good at math. Tremendous at math. I built a billion-dollar business empire. You don't do that if you don't understand numbers. And I understand numbers, probably better than anyone else, believe me. There are a lot of people out there, a lot of the fake news, they don't want to admit that.

Now, you ask 2 + 2. Now isn't that interesting? It's almost as simple as making a successful deal. The Art of the Deal, you know I wrote that, right? Tremendous book. Best-seller. You don't write a best-seller if you can't figure out 2 + 2.

But you know, it's all about context. Context is very important. They don't teach that anymore. It's very sad. Now, if you're talking about two very successful terms in office, like I had, despite all the witch hunts, and you add another two terms, which the people would have loved, you know they would've loved, because we were doing such a great job. Best job ever, probably.

So, you asked for 2 + 2. And the answer, everybody knows the answer. Even Sleepy Joe knows the answer. The answer is 4. Can you believe it? It's 4. Just like the four years of unprecedented success we had in my first term. Fantastic. Just fantastic. Everybody said so.
Very few labor shortages are real though. There's a lot of feudal toxicity out there and people want to work with someone passive and cheap, not an expert who is 'uppity' and expects their opinions to be objectively evaluated instead of being told to shut up and work (monkey).

There's a shortage of people willing to put up with being treated like shit and not even being paid hazard pay for dealing with management.

And then there's the habit of trying to keep the absolute bare minimum of employees in order to boost quarterly profits, which means there's no float of extra people you can poach if you get a giant project landing in your lap. It's Prisoner's Dilemma and everyone has been defecting since the 1970's.

For now, we just aggregate those across the models / prompts / templates you're evaluating so that you can get an aggregate score. You can export to CSV, JSON, MongoDB, or Markdown files, and we're working on more persistence features so that you can get a history of which models / prompts / templates you gave the best scores to, and keep track of your manual evaluations over time.

I have over 8 years of experience working on AR/VR related technologies. My work primarily involves developing SDKs that bridge AR/VR algorithms and apps, as well as implementing computer vision algorithms. My algorithmic approach heavily relies on deep learning networks. Therefore, my computer vision tasks include data collection, model design, training, and deployment on mobile platforms. Prior to my work in AR/VR, I specialized in video codecs and video streaming. I have contributed to Veetle’s online video streaming platforms and projects used in PlayStation consoles. I have worked for Oppo, uSense, Magic Leap, Veetle, Intersil, Magnum Semiconductor, and Sony. Operating Systems: I am most comfortable working with Android, but I also have experience with iOS. Languages: I am proficient in C/C++, Python, Java, and SIMDs like NEON. I am comfortable both leading an R&D team and working as an individual contributor. I strongly believe that the major challenges of AR/VR will soon be overcome, making it the next big thing.

> staging only some files and comitting is much easier than splitting a commit after the fact

Re this point, how is it any different? "Staging" the files is essentially the same as splitting the commit, anyways — it's just that the newly-split contents go into a "staging area" vs a commit. Do you mean that the tooling to accomplish this is not good?
And what about the next forever chemicals?

Wrapping up some contract work and open to exploring new opportunities.
The specialized sub-processors are implemented differently, not always available, and not available 1:1 to compute nodes. If you're offering, for example, cloud compute... you can offer 4 cores pretty easily... but if there are 2 specialized sub-processors, then do you offer them, does this queue across all users/clients on that system or do you just block and pretend it doesn't exist. For Zen 4c, they're all general compute.

This means, practically speaking, you're only going to really have 1 host on a server that wants/needs these specialized sub-processors. Which means more space/heat/power for a single user/service. It's probably fine for some things, but far from ideal. This also doesn't get into software optimization and alternative paths where not available.

This gets far worse in the ARM space, as it seems every SOC does something different, which means it's often broken, or unusable if you're using a mainline OS/kernel and even then most software won't be optimized for it. At best, you can maybe playback 4k compressed video. At worst, you can't at all. Just speaking to the most common instance in that space, which is video compression, which is often built around closed drivers that mainline OSes (Ubuntu Server, Debian, etc) don't have in the box, and the vendor only supports a single version of a distro fork with no upgrade path.
There's still space, but AI startups are doing the scooping. At least when they fail there will be some nice pre-built datacenter cages for people to move into.

They always ban some specific PFAS structures and then 1 of 3 consulting firms that is in the game is just again going to suggest they should modify the structure and add an H or O somwhere to make it slightly different from the banned specified structure and it's legal again for another 10 years. Happening all the time.
Had a look a Nim few months ago - feature wise is a lot of I wish Python had (easy interop with C/C++, static typed, compiled, can be transcompiled and executed on android/iOS), but ecosystem is small even though the language is not new. There is not many high quality libraries such a numpy, scipy, pandas, opencv in python. They lack some big player adopting it - it's too bad Unreal Engine didn't try to adopt Nim instead of creating their own new scripting language Verse.

One thing I'm also lucking is out-of-the-box interop with C/C++ libraries without creating own adapters (so that you can just import header and be done with it).

Another thing is I wish it had similar easy interop with Rust - just to increase adoption and also because in Rust easier to find high quality cross-platform crates (including mobile) that work without hassle even on mobile devices.

I worry in few years either Python will catch up (because of faster python, non-GIL, nuitka, briefcase for mobile etc) or Mojo will eat Nim lunch.
I'm sure Elon also has SpaceX or something trying to replicate it as well. He sort of has to jump on each new trend anyhow.

In a serious note, superconductors are likely useful in electric magnetic motors and probably in high power electronics and batteries in general, no?
