[Mexican living in Mexico here]

I've had the chance to live in other countries in Europe (Germany and the UK) for 8 years. I also have lived most of my life (and currently live) in Mexico.

As someone else said, "rich" people in Mexico can live a good-enough life. But the problem is that 43.9% [1] live in poverty in Mexico. That is, they don't have a way to make ends meet. Worse, the next 20% are just barely living by.

On top of that, society is naturally corrupt. You have corruption ingrained in the Mexican culture. From the typical politician corruption, the "plata o plomo" narco corruption, the police officer "get out of a fine" layman corruption; to the "inconsequential" I'll stop in the middle of the street for one minute, just-because. Like, normal layman people always have some reason why some law or rule wont apply to them. It's freaking enraging.

Finally you have lack of accountability. In Mexico only 1% [2] of the crimes are resolved. There's murders, assaults, robberies, violations, everything you can think of, and police, the judicial system and all that branch does absolutely nothing. They don't do their work. Moreover, normal people are scared of going to the Prosecution Authority (Ministerio Publico) because they know most likely they will be abused and further defrauded there.

> Mexico has it's problems,

You have to have lived in Mexico to understand the extent of the brokeness that we have here. A lot of people who live in Mexico and haven't had the chance to live somewhere else will tell you that "it is not that bad", but it is just a lack of knowledge of what "Normal" should be, part a coping mechanism and part Stockholm syndrome. (What else can people do?)

The Brains Behind the Malware-Friendly AI Chat Service ‘WormGPT’
An Introduction to Alternative Keyboard Layouts
Some time ago when people started reporting degradation, Logan.GPT (Developer Relations @OpenAI) clarified that the API models don't change.

This caused a lot of confusion because people thought that was a claim that ChatGPT doesn't change. He then further clarified that "the models are changing all the time in ChatGPT".

Not that SF has taken this stance, but I think the stance of share your data with us or else we won't approve would be fine by me.

> Also upsetting to firefighters was “zero transparency” of data from self-driving car companies. Because Waymo and Cruise do not disclose internal counts of unexpected stops or other incidents that impede first responders, the fire department is forced to depend on information from members of the public, city employees, firefighters or transit operators, which oftentimes resulted in incomplete or duplicate reports.

Although later in the article they do provide some numbers.

> She said the 55 — and counting — examples that the fire department has cited of driverless cars’ interference with law enforcement or first responder operations “demonstrated that these vehicles themselves are not understanding human traffic control.”

> Just one week ago, that number was 50. “We think that the companies are ready to move forward with broad expansion when that number has gone down and does not continue to go up,” said Friedlander.
I had forgotten that was possible. Thanks.
The current internet is nothing like the internet of 20 years ago.
What’s funny is that you’re not actually executing as you describe, just that you think you are.

If you indeed waited for all relevant information, you’d never be able to make a choice. You, like every single other healthy human (some humans can’t do this) use emotion to decide when you’ve gathered enough information.

The only difference here is some are aware of this process and some aren’t.
The real fix is to just stop tying benefit requirements to who the employer is and what the employee's full time status is. A lot of these problems go away with just universal healthcare, and providing benefits beyond pay via society rather than via companies.
Do you have any links to the research behind these CBT-I interventions? I'm curious what treatment looks like. I had never considered that I may have insomnia until just now, as I fall asleep fast and usually only wake up once during the night. However, I often wake up groggy and not feeling refreshed. I started tracking my sleep a couple months ago with a series 8 Apple Watch and consistently see only 20-45 minutes in a "deep sleep" phase.

I'd totally pay for this if it's something that might work, but honestly am skeptical about it working for my particular sort of sleep pattern. Congrats on the launch!
At this point I cannot understand why anybody would use Wells Fargo as their bank. WF has proven repeatedly that they are pretty much the opposite of what everybody thinks a good bank should be. Repeated law violations; repeated screwing-over of their customers. Why are they still in business?
Aircraft already pay quite expensive landing/parking fees. For a small jet at a major airport this can easily be $500+ to land, and several hundred a day for a parking spot. ATC is well paid for.
All you have done is outsource deciding what is important.
The Unionised Royal Mail seems to manage next day delivery fine. Does any country have a unionised mail service where you wait 3 weeks, or even 1 week, for packages?
They are “smart enough” to have learned the previous generation of tools while in school or in the early parts of their careers (where expectations are lower), and not “smart enough” to learn the next generation of tools while also doing their full time jobs.

So, ok, but anyone thinking about entering the field can see that they’ll be left in a lurch when they hit mid career.

We’ve already run this experiment for a generation or two; anyone smart enough to finish an engineering degree can just go do a programming career afterwards, where the work and career advancement is easier. Now we have imported chips and a million JavaScript frameworks.
Just started using AM, it’s a bit of a pain in the butt to love or dislike songs. Also, not sure it actually does anything or not. Online users seem to think it’s mostly just for show and even if you dislike a song it will keep coming back.

I’ve tried a number of the streaming services and my biggest complaint is that I like a song and then it plays that song over and over in every playlist. So far 3 songs in discovery mode, not bad 2/3 new ones and all similar to my wide ranging likes.
I mean, "tool use" in other species pretty much tops out at "poking with a stick" so it's not really comparable.
Bernie isn't a Democrat.
Except that people also age out of far left ideas. The 18 year old who's like "hell yeah, ownership is theft, raise the taxes" feels differently when they turn 35 and have to pay those taxes.
Apart from just your statement this is the first time I hear about this. I mean there is trafficking everywhere but you statement makes it sound like it’s on a much grander scale. Care to provide more info?
This is problem for our planet. Carbon emissions are high.

We're paying AWS for servers that remain hot that we don't use effectively.
Third citation in my comment addresses your argument. Hard to become conservative when you have nothing to lose.

I'll wait until they start posting studies about what happens to people a few years after they stop taking this next revolution - do they bounce back more than control or less?
Both aspects of this, choosing who is taxed and choosing where the money goes, are political choices.

The choice is not "agenda" vs. "no agenda", it's "stated agenda" vs. "tacit agenda".
that's cute! in polish we say "monkey" (malpka)

now i realized maybe other languages use other 'looks likes':

Even this doesn’t work. A drug tax earmarked for school funding can be followed with a coincidental cut to school funding in the same amount. Money is fungible.
I feel the same way about Mastodon. The founding generation of that ecosystem has very strident views about certain matters that are foreign (and in the sense of "never even think about it", let alone "I disagree") to probably over 90% of the world population. Expectations are that the bulk of entrenched Mastodon instances are going to ban federations with instances that permit discussion beyond what that founding cohort is comfortable with, so here, too, the technology almost exists to propel ideals, too.
Most Americans have access to one "high-speed" (50Mbps+) provider, and then maybe one low-speed (<15MBps) provider, and maybe one dish option. It's not competition if the product isn't comparable.
Who said entirely? I’ve used hashmaps prototyping my code, still used types in other areas, then converting dynamic maps to types too, Was just suggesting ways to handle types during prototyping
We already established that log sifting at scale isn’t productive nor does it work for reasons outlined in the article. This was just an answer to how to do it in a smaller scale. Yeah, primary key is going to give you problems, a simple index shouldn’t but the issue is this, logs are not event sources - or shouldn’t be. The only time you should be looking is when your looking for stack trace and even then there’s better options like sentry.
I'm wondering if this was all in a single ChatGPT session where GPT-4 happened to answer the first question wrong. This could bias future outputs towards being wrong as well, and could explain the huge difference between OP's results and commenters, maybe?
Yeah, Rust's sweat spot is systems programming and scenarios where no form of automatic memory management is tolerated, regardless of the reasons, for everything else there are enough AOT compiled languages with some form of automatic memory management, and features for low level coding if really needed.
I recommend port 17.
And in cases where there are competitors, they'll often have similar prices for similar offerings, with equally poor service or reliability.

After all, if you're Time Warner, you could compete with Verizon by improving your infrastructure or lowering your prices, but that would spur them on to do the same thing, and then it's a race to the bottom where "everybody loses" (by which I mean consumers win a bit more and corporations win a bit less).

If you instead take the gentleman's agreement to not make any substantial changes, then you both get to gouge customers for poor service as much as you want, keeping profits high without having to do any work to maintain it. Sure, you might lose some customers to your competitor, but they also lose customers to you and everyone is happy (except the customers).

Why not tax aircons out of business?
The damage is orders of magnitude higher.
A version supporting Pinecone directly is coming soon!
It is a shame that people can be judged for little things like repeatedly clearly articulating their negative opinions about a large group of people online
It's nothing like that here in my part of the US, fortunately. I am becoming increasingly aware at how lucky I am about this in these comments, though! As I said in another comment, if I had these obstacles, it would absolutely alter my response to this.

I don't pay my bills at a bank or bank website regardless, there is no surcharge for going to a bank's physical location, and I don't have to make an appointment.

And people who go to branches aren't exclusively elderly and/or technophobes -- but even if they were, what does that matter?
“This makes it easier to see how deeply recursive stacks started, and is especially valuable for debugging stack overflows.”

Mistakes are normal in any language. Debugging an infinitely deep recursion can be challenging in most.
it's not just low pay.

children used to work 10 hours a day and lose hands in machinery. hell, kids are dying in factories now, and the rules just keep getting rolled back further.

miners get black lung or asbestos exposure.

dudes boiled alive in machinery that didn't have fail safes.

company towns that only paid in scrip and then charged you 3x the price of regular goods.

people had to fight and die for an 8 hour workday.

the bourgeoisie programmer types who've never had to work actually dangerous jobs tend to forget just how incredibly brutal working conditions used to be.
It is terse for a reason. You're ordering a parser around in 10 characters. Which makes them fit everywhere! A longer more readable version starts taking up multiple lines and looking like shitty react code. Or you're just using your language's string primitives. But there is a reason that nobody does that any more -- who wants to read 50 lines of string parsing code when a couple dozen characters of regex will do the same thing?

Let us wizards have our magic!
Neither, F# for the win!
Time to switch from PayPal to FedNow. FedNow is run by banks and the Fed, which are regulated as to whom they can refuse to server.
Does anyone, without subversive motives, actually agree with the premise that removing all incentives to be successful is a good idea?
I mean, you might be able to thank Bush for the investment, but I think we should not start thanking politicians for the sun and the wind, haha.
They aren't that crazy, where else would you build them... France, Italy? German labor laws are pretty average for western Europe.

You need stability, skilled and productive workers and it wouldn't hurt to have a chemical industry, Germany has all that.
Friendly Captcha – GDPR-Compliant Bot Protection
Your articulation is not unique to large diameter tunnels, the generic costs you point to are endemic to any diameter tunnel in America and also to any infrastructure project in America that takes place in an urban environment. To say that these things are a "large diameter tunnel" problem is to miss the unique distinctions between TUNNELING costs and INFRASTRUCTURE costs in America. At a high level we agree, but that's not useful for finding a solution to the specific problem of American tunneling costs.

For example, the labor shortage impacts all construction in America but tunnels require even more specialized laborers. Unions drive up the cost of all construction in America, but specific unions (like the Sandhogs) have specific provisions in their contracts that drive up the cost even more. Scope changes impact all construction, but scope changes underground cost orders of magnitude more than surface scope changes (add an offramp above ground versus add an offramp underground). Third party litigation impacts all construction, but the nature of tunneling increases the risk of third party litigation because settlement/sinkholes can occur vast distances away from the work.
This is it in a nutshell. I could always put on my game face when things were going bad at home, but if you caught me after another customer calls me stupid or lazy (for having the job I did, during a recession, instead of, I don't know, being on welfare, I guess?), then the facade started to slip. I'm not really inclined to assume good intent from yet another rich asshole complaining about over-priced Chinese crap in regards to the $40 printer they're loading into their brand-new Porsche Cayenne.
I'm in my 40s now, and would be pretty content to get up and remote to work every day with no impact on anything. Let me save that energy up for my family instead.
Saying "any programming language can be a pain in production environments" is technically true but irrelevant and misleading.

It implies that all programming languages are equally painful in production, but that obviously isn't the case.

Python is definitely among the worst. Easily the worst among popular languages. It's closely followed by C++. Go and Rust are faaar nicer. Totally different league.
Genuinely curious, how does taxing carbon increase economic efficiency?
Who cares if VFX artists "rent-seek?"
I guess big companies should be broken up to the rough same scale as these local governments too, right?
and fix immigration so there are fewer illegals reaping those benefits
I think this is my favourite response.
Seriously this is the part I dont understand about people parroting "prompt engineering" . Isn't it really just throwing random things at a non deterministic black box and hoping for the best?
I don’t think the target job market here is six figure salaries for SWEs, I think it’s mid-high 5 figure salaries for skilled manufacturing employees.

More than Asia, but same order of magnitude, maybe even the same ballpark for some areas.

I expect most chip design will still be done in Asia and those are the high paying jobs.
AMD “Inception” CPU Vulnerability Disclosed
That makes a lot of sense.

FWIW, I didn't intend either of my comments to be a personal attack. I understand how complicated running an open source project as large as yours can be, and I don't envy your task. I was just agreeing with the original poster about how these things look to those outside the community. Your explanation for how that happened makes a lot of sense.
Russia started to block OpenVPN and WireGuard
Geez! This seems like a _really_ big attack vector. Anyone on the security side have some caveats?
my bet is it has something to do with Filippo Valsorda having left google, but that's pure speculation on my part.

The bad thing about visually-scannable data is that it can be leaked in a photo... But the good thing is that humans can quickly check and intuit "can someone else see this", unlike with stuff like RFID. The key is whether they _know_ it's something to guard.

While printing papers with an additional glued "privacy flap" would be tricky and expensive, I wonder if something like "KEEP THIS SECRET" in big half-transparent letters across the coded section would provide a measurable benefit.

Another solution could be to have a second code on the back that needs to be scanned, provided the back side is too generic or boring for social media. (I assume the person is showing off the time/destination info.)
Well if you try Google Bard with these problems, a pleasant surprise awaits you.

I also found that Bard solves novel logical puzzles which are hard for me, not to mention ChatGPT
This is wrong. The eye tracking is only to reduce the computational demands, it doesn't change the DPI of the screen *at all". It's purely an optimization trick.

I don't know why people keep repeating this myth. It's just not how it works. It's not moving around pixels in the physical display.
Well the CHIPS Act was $50 billion.

We've got another $50 billion. And another after that. And another after that. As necessary.

See: Ukraine v Russia.

$50 billion ain't what it used to be (and Russia is an economic joke in scale compared to the US, we can shovel billions of dollars into that war endlessly). Its just that the US and China have gotten so massive compared to their former peers, that we can fund at a relative gigantic level quite easily. The US economy is now 50% larger than the EU economy, and six times larger than Japan. US GDP per capita is a shocking $80,000 - well over double that of both the EU and Japan (soon to be double that of France and Britain; or closing in on France and Britain combined to put it another way). $80,000 is equal to the combined GDP per capita of France + Japan.

Things that are difficult for the EU to fund, like $50 billion for chips, are now comparatively easy for the US (or China) to fund. We're only funding the CHIPS Act because that sum is no longer a huge deal to the US. That's a little toy program that Biden was allowed to play with precisely because it's not that big of a deal financially. A medium deal would be $200-$300 billion (eg helping Ukraine defeat Russia across several years); a big deal is $500b-$1 trillion (infrastructure level).

Germany's economy hasn't grown on an inflation adjusted basis in decades. The same is largely true of all of Europe's biggest economies.

US GDP in 2008: $14.7 trillion. Now: $26.8 trillion.

Germany GDP in 2008: $3.7 trillion. Now: $4.3 trillion. And that is a mirror of what has been going on in Europe broadly (with a few exceptions eg the Baltics and Ireland). Since 2008 the US has added economy equal to Germany + France + Britain + Italy.

$50 billion would have been a big deal for the US, two decades ago.
They are against universal healthcare. Not because it's not a good idea, but because unions in general have negotiated for healthcare benefits. It's sad they're being so petty about this.
BMW would seem to be in a good position to judge the manufacturing capabilities of both Europe and the US, with their large presence in both.

$1.7 billion expansion in the US towards the end of 2022:

Expanding on their already expansive presence in Spartanburg. The X3-X7 and their newest high end vehicle the XM are all built in the US:

Mercedes, another company that knows about manufacturing in Europe and the US, is producing some of their newest vehicles in the US, including new electronic vehicles that debuted in 2022, the EQE and EQS. The 2024 Maybach EQS680, with an estimated price of $200k, is also built in the US.

Toyota is spending $2.5 billion to expand their US facilities:

To reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector, we should steeply tax private jet travel and direct those funds toward climate mitigation and green infrastructure.

I'm guessing this is what your comment is replying to? I agree that there's really no need for the second part to solve the core problem - overuse of private jets.
Google Play Services implements a lot of increasingly vital features and interfaces on Android. Not having it kills a good number of things people consider important, like push notifications (some apps are designed to still send push notifications like Signal, but it's kind of a hack and does drain the battery). If you're looking for almost the same functionality without google play services, MicroG[1] is an open source implementation of Google Play Services and its' associated components. I don't think it works on GrapheneOS unfortunately, but GrapheneOS already sandboxes all the Google Play Services components, so you should be fine as is. "Normal"/stock Android roms aren't set up the same way however, so you pretty much need either Google Play Services or MicroG for push notifications, location services, etc.

My experience is that python is a mess in production. Even with a full CI, tests, mypy for static typing, pinned dependencies recursively, bazel with custom rules to build those dependencies (because many python dep have undeclared deps). And of course abysmal performances. And I wouldn't dare letting juniors touch python.

Rust is far from perfect. But in my opinion formed by experience, Rust is the best imperative language available right now.

Note that I have both written software in Python and built a whole devxp stack that includes Python. I wrote the first version of Docker in Python for what is worth, and at my last job; over many years; I built and maintained the polyglot dev experience for 150 devs.
