I loathe Zoom but wouldn’t that be the right call? The person who made the infringing content is responsible?

We’ve already been through all of this with social networks, no?
Good luck to all those that have been trying to convince people to get off Zoom at $WORK (it's not that simple...). This should add some fuel to the fire.
I get it from Zoom's perspective: it's a core differentiator and strategic future advantage for them.

I think it's going to lose them more customers than make them money... but we'll see.

MS is a more interesting case, because they have a tradition of understanding enterprise concerns, and don't really need the data from Teams given their product portfolio.

But, common strategic sense often doesn't stop tactical, myopic product manager blunders, so I am curious.
Jitsi is amazing. I tried out the desktop client version maybe 10 years ago and it sucked hard. More recently, using their webRTC version has been the smoothest voip experience I've ever had, and it's gratis, and it's open source, and I don't even need to register. It has high quality audio, video, and screen sharing. Honestly, I have no reason to use anything else.

I'm pretty sure APL (if not APL, definitely J) also does this too and APL was designed as a common "mathematical" language for expressing computation.
I think GFE's implementation of ShadowPlay is replicable by third-party/open-source applications as well. It just uses some sorta-undocumented Nvidia APIs to capture the screen without the software overhead: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/msi-afterburner-3-0-0-beta...

Not sure if anything like OBS implements this or not.
Used it loads, it's great.
1500 mi/yr is nothing, definitely not worth the cost of a new car! Consider many modern cars and especially EVs are expected to last well over 200k mi. The car will rust away before you hit 30k mi.

It's impressive to be voluntarily low car in Ohio considering the sorry state of transit and bike infrastructure in Ohio's cities. Pretty difficult with the exception of Cleveland's core.

If carshare is unavailable and you really want an EV, I would look at the last generation EVs - used Kia Niro, Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Ioniq (old hatchback, not the 5 or 6), VW eGolf, or a Nissan Leaf if you have a spot to charge.

Many of the older models will be under $25,000 used and therefore eligible for an income restricted $4,000 federal tax credit.

Took a look through auto trader and there's quite a few used EVs in Ohio that would near $10k with the tax credit.

Curious what your primary transportation is - bike or ebike?
> How can engineers working on this even look at themselves without being ashamed?

These aren't engineering decisions but marketing ones. The role of an engineer is to engineer a solution, not make business decisions. The decision to turn telemetry on by default was not taken by an engineer, so engineers at intel shouldn't feel ashamed of anything at first place.

> It's notable that Australia's ranked ballot system also seems to have narrowed choices there to a two party system and they have no left wing party equivalent to the NDP anymore.

It's been a while since I studied the topic, but that's a bad way to frame it. You have a set of policy ideas, which get aggregated in member constituents (congress in the US, parliament in Canada, etc.) and those get aggregated into parties.

Changing the voting system changes the voting power of policies against each other. Ranked voting for instance diminishes the electability of policies that people *hate* (so a lot of right wing culture war stuff for instance get reduced by ranked choice)

> because in a Venn Diagram of voter preferences in Canada the Liberals almost always end up in the centre

That was a very short term way of thinking on their end (no surprise from politicians tbh). The change in voting system would change what policies the parties are about over the medium-long run.

Even though the name of the parties might remain the same -- the actual discussion and policies being proposed change in response.

> The NDP favours a proportional or mixed-member proportional system

I'd be fine with that. I also like cardinal voting a lot tbh.

> the Conservatives don't want any reform at all.

No surprise there, they're coasting on the hilarious overrepresentation of suburbs and exurbs + FPTP being a broken piece of crap.

Canadian liberals will sink themselves like they did in Quebec IMO.

The sad truth is that it'll get us some wacko culture war right winger for a decade rather than a healthier center-left wing party.

ah thank you this is good info. My situation is google cloud offers a free tier ipv4 only vm. To get a dual stack you have to pay for a load balancer.

Ah unfortunately that's not supported. When running umbrelOS on a Raspberry Pi, it stores everything on the HDD/SSD you connect to the Pi on install to make sure your data isn't susceptible to microSD card's wear and tear. So if you change the HDD/SSD, it will format the drive and use it as the main drive. And connecting two or more drives to the Pi isn't supported because the Pi lacks power to support more than 1 drive at once, causing abnormal behavior.

I think the right term to use here is "more reliable". Setting temperature to 0 will certainly make outputs more reliable for the same inputs. But GPT is inherently nondeterministic both by distributing lossy computations across different devices and using several models under the hood.

If you're manufacturing something that's going to go in a house...

...and that means it should be expected to last 20 years...

...then maybe just don't use the cheapest part you can, and instead actually engineer it to last 20 years?

You're talking about it like the manufacturer has no choice but to make it as cheap as possible and hey, if it fails, it fails—but that's not true at all. If there were a requirement for something to be more durable, then the manufacturer would be both able and obligated to follow it. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is such a requirement as things stand.

I've just learned to bike (I've been living in the Netherlands for over 3 years and just months ago started biking), and I deeply regret not getting an e-bike.

I also bought a car last year (EV / Tesla). Coming from a culture where biking isn't that popular, I was in doubt about whether to get an e-bike or a regular bike. I decided to go with the cheaper option (because I also have a car), and thanks to the fact the Netherlands is flat, I can do most day chores now by riding my bike... but... if I had opted to get the e-bike, I'd actually only be using the car when the weather is pretty bad and when I want to travel to someplace really far away.

People underestimate how useful a bike (and, especially, an e-bike) is. With the right infrastructure, at least!

You are right. Most teams in-fact dont hire junior devs for the fear of spending too long to review their PRs and hand-hold devs.

We have been able to eliminate a lot of un-usable PRs by having a very strong internal peer review and QA process. So PRs almost certainly works, and code review goes through at-least 2 separate reviewers

TBH, I think adding teachers that grow devs entirely through reviews is a great idea. We currently do give internal training and guidelines for reviewing PRs, but havnt gone that far yet.
Interesting. I think there are probably a good many in the art world who would consider anywhere in Texas a nonstarter for residency.

I'm aware you can work around it, there are workarounds for issues in Go as well.

In general, C programs do not require workarounds for dealing with kernel APIs for the simple reason that the vast majority of kernel APIs are developed with test programs written in C, so kernel developers will usually not design an API that is awful to use in C.

Another thing that surprised me when I first started programming in Rust is that:

let fd = File::open("foo")?.as_raw_fd();

and

let f = File::open("foo")?;
let fd = f.as_raw_fd();

have different behaviour, with the former being incorrect and a possible security bug if you use the file descriptor directly afterwards. But I guess this behaviour is obvious to seasoned Rust developer (at least, it seems obvious to me now).
ahahah yes
>Be indemnified by me if it turns out someone else owns the IP or has their rights infringed (for example to confidential materials everyone on the call is entitled to review).

You'd really have to stretch the definition of "your or your End User’s use of the Services or Software" to include zoom running their AI training (unbeknownst to the user) for it to be included. What this clause is intended to cover is cases like you using zoom to commit some sort of crime (eg. streaming movies/sports matches), and zoom gets used along with you.

> LLMs are taking away from artists simply because in the eyes of consumers they are roughly equivalent if not better.

You are making a wildly unsupported claim ("equivalent if not better"). Also, people who enjoy art are not "consumers" nor is art a "product". Your mindset is all wrong about this, which might explain why you're so easily satisfied with AI art.

> Why not compare algorithms to the average person?

Because a completely dumb algorithm that takes paragraphs from random texts in Project Guttenberg, without paying much attention to fine coherence, is already producing something "better" than the average person. Yet nobody, not even you, would call it a breakthrough in neither AI nor creativity.

This is not how meaningful discussion about creativity will happen.

By the way, the onus is on you. You made an extraordinary claim, it's on you to provide a convincing example. I don't have to "provide" anything (yet).

The wallet makers could have required a password and encrypted the data going into localstorage. But then there would be no way to recover that key if the password was ever lost.

Even with encryption, LocalStorage is not a safe place to store sensitive data though. What if the user clears their browser data?

As an aside: Wallet key management and recovery is one of the biggest issues with web3. Either the UX is great but your keys are in the developer's cloud and protected by password + MFA like everything else or your keys are local-only either encrypted with an unrecoverable password or not encrypted at all.
Its day and night difference compared to 3 years ago (internally), but situation with libraries is still pretty much same: they die off randomly and you have to search a new solution, spending your time. Expo's stuff is mostly good and well maintained, thats something.

I use it, mostly with expo. Everything works out of the box and performance is actually surprising (because of Hermes engine), I'd say its a lot better than all other alternatives when it comes to cross platform development solution, simply because flutter is the only real competitor and flutter has few problems that makes it unbearable for me:

1) lots of copy-paste boilerplate code
2) ios apps behave weirdly in flutter (maybe they still havent fixed 1 frame lag with touch/swipe/scroll events? idk)
3) they're not using native components but implementing them on canvas. This sounds extremely prone to issues and bugs and requires them to catch up to update stuff once platform holders change something in their UI kits.

If I had to pick a tech right now, I'd go

React Native -> Jetpack Compose/Swift UI -> Flutter -> Anything else

This sounds odd. Why just from "remote countries"?

Is it because they can be paid less than in not so remote countries?

I have a feeling this is just another way to get cheap labour.

- not writing papers or participating in peer review

- writing books and papers without citing other works

- bouncing between academic and industry roles

Academic research is just a different world, with very different life tradeoffs, even for "big' names.
