I mean, if your goal is financial equality, this is a terrible way to get there. People are usually friends and family with people of similar ecconomic class. Giving loans to people you know just continues the status quo of rich people having access to credit and poor people not.

Not necessarily. It depends on culture (local or otherwise). A senior needs to carefully instill an understanding of when a suggestion is optional; for some seniors, this may be "never". I personally prefer when direct instructions are mandatory but anything framed as a suggestion allows personal discretion (and requires willingness to defend having not followed the suggestion).
On the project I'm on now, we have regular weekly meetings like that. One guy in the UK, one guy in the DC area, me in Texas, another guy in Seattle, and another guy in Sydney. Plus possibly some other people that might also join from some of those same timezones.

I now have an app that runs continuously in my menu bar to track all the different time zones that I care about. Tel Aviv and Tokyo also figure into the equation sometimes.

> What’s the goal? People transport garbage somewhere else, and put it in a bin that goes to the same place?

Assuming it works, and that's a big assumption (fans of the hitchBOT saga probably live in Finland), there could be some several goals.

Others in the thread have pointed out the reduced costs benefits I'm sure.

That's surface level.

Pack it in, pack it out probably also increases a sense of shared ownership or responsibility for public goods and resources. It could make you feel part of a "good" community if your park is clean and others aren't, especially if it's the responsibility of hikers to handle their own trash.

This translates to increased belief in environmental sustainability values and other social values.

Like all things, I'm sure it's a balancing act and putting too much burden on citizens probably has harmful effects. The effect of this might be good, and alignment to existing practices (pack it in, pack it out) makes it a fit. But I could see it sparking a "pride" competition between different social services that puts more burden on citizens, enforced with peer shaming behavior. E.g. "what if we remove snow removal from sidewalks." That's a bad example, given it's true in a lot of places, but you get the point.
the problem is that you dont get to know if the output is A-Okay. You just know "it works". This is the scariest part to me. Especially a DSL/programming language I'm not familiar with.

Special forces soldiers are highly skilled and extremely dedicated troops who are expected to fight behind enemy lines with no logistical or artillery support. You throw agile into the mix and these highly trained troops are now expected to create PowerPoint after action slides justifying every decision they took to an audience of non military folks.

The thing is management doesn’t view developers as special forces. They don’t think we are Obi Wan Kenobi. They think we are Jae Jar Binks and they can always order more developers and Congress will literally drop ship them into awaiting open plan offices. The bizarre thing is why don’t they hire these very same developers remotely instead of H1B? Well you see they don’t think we are Obi Wan Kenobi…
I had a lot more success writing some code and have ChatGPT document it than doing the opposite. The documentation tends to be much better written than what I would have done by myself.

Indeed because ChatGPT is excellent at writing text. And because I know exactly what I want to see even if I have a hard time putting it into words myself, I can easily catch the mistakes and hallucinations.

I don't get why there is so much focus on code generating AIs and so little on code analysis. Have AIs do code reviews, write tests and analyze the results, etc... LLMs are awesome at reviewing code, they are able to tell you what's unexpected. And what is unexpected has a good chance of either being a bug or some key element of the code that needs attention. I think I have seen a single article about that, out of hundreds that are about code generation.
A PDF of the lawsuit was provided by Torrentfreak, linked below[1].

In it, Sony, et al. state on pages 13 and 14 that Internet Archive failed to take necessary actions and file required paperwork with the US Copyright Office as required under the Music Modernization Act.

The DMCA is never mentioned in the suit, so I presume no DMCA takedown requests were sent.

I'm a mid-senior level engineer, and I experienced the following beginning in December, when I first start using ChatGPT:

December - January: I need to explore this brand new tool called ChatGPT. This could be as big of a game changer as Google must have been (was not in the workforce back then)

January - March: This thing is a TOTAL game changer. I can do work at a Senior+ level, when I was barely scraping by as a mid just a few months ago. I'm going to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible, using this new tool.

March - May: Uh oh. The team has new expectations of me. I'm sure I can deliver!

May - July: I don't think I can deliver. I'm working constantly and feel burnt out.

====

Since July, I've changed projects to something less stressful (I work in consulting), as well as put a hard stop to computer-related activities after work hours. I'm slowly regaining my interest in programming again, after a few months of not even want to look at code.

In retrospect, I burned out myself because of the tremendous opportunity sitting right there with ChatGPT, and also the fear that all my peers will use the tool as religiously as I would and I may be out of a job if I don't work at a breakneck pace to acquaint myself in this new tool. I wrote articles and spoke on podcasts about this new tool, just to demonstrate that I'm a (false) expert in this thing.

The lesson I learned is it's okay to be exciting for new technology, but I should pace myself. Most of my peers will take a lot longer to get up to speed, so as long as I stay abreast of trends I'll be just fine.
> Does Rust give you _maximum_ control over performance the way C and C++ do?

Yes, with a small asterisk. In general, this is true. In practice, with the way optimizations go, sometimes one or the other may be faster. Or people playing with definitions. But the answer to your question in spirit is "yes."
All of this is possible with a jsonschema too.

I agree that most people use GraphQL wrong because its impossible to use 'right'.

Graphql 'solves' the trivial while hinting towards a future of self-describing apis and anything in between. Users will hopefully find out that GraphQL never solved any actual problems. Actual problems(valdation, (actual)error-handing, cache-invalidation being the big one in the end like usual) are kept for the user as an exercise, like always. Their promises are always not explicit but implied so the tech-enthusiasts can pick it up.

I remember an article here that was talking about how GraphQL would enable apis to discover eachother on the whole internet and learn to speak to eachother without human intervention.

The main selling point in the beginning was so you don't have to query fields you don't actually need to keep data transfer to a minimum. A completely trivial feature for a json api.

Even a JSON api with relations is just as possible and just as easy with a JSON api. Unlike GraphQL you don't have to pretend syntax was the issue.

You compared parents' responsibility for their children to the past voting system where only the man of the house voted, representing the whole family. However, this comparison is flawed. Just because a man voted for the entire family in the past doesn't mean it was fair or right. Each person has unique needs and opinions, and it's not logical to assume one person can represent everyone's interests.

For example, imagine a family where the children have different hobbies and preferences from their parents. The parents might not always make choices that reflect what's best for each child individually. Similarly, a man voting for his entire family in the past wouldn't necessarily know or consider the unique needs of his wife, children, or servants. Individual voices matter, and while parents have a vital role in supporting their children, comparing this to historical voting practices doesn't make sense.
Ireland has 7.5m head of cattle[1] - I think that qualifies as a "large amount". And you can add 6m head of sheep and over 1.5m pigs. About 40% of Ireland's CO2 equivalent comes from agriculture/agri-business.

Some random bits about Japan:

Litter bins were removed from public spaces after the 1995 sarin attacks.

Litter has actually been a notorious problem in natural preserves. There was an account of hiking up Mount Fuji by some famous travel writer, who went on about the great deal of rubbish strewn all the way up.

Litter is less common in urban areas because there is less opportunity for it. When you see litter, what does it consist of? It's mostly the remains of food packaging. Japanese rarely eat away from designated eating areas. You don't see people snacking while walking down the street.

While unsafe-inline prevents execution of scripts, it doesn't prevent another extension from including HTML in one of the URLs it is requesting, and adding DOM elements that might entirely change the display of the extension. Likely not a huge problem here (there are much easier ways to bypass/cheat this extension e.g. by inserting tracking code into the DOM of a visited page so it's executed by that page) but it's definitely not good practice to interpolate HTML with untrusted strings.

This is a professional venue, and I don’t feel that slagging companies is a particularly professional thing to do. I like Apple, and wish them the best. I have no interest in throwing shade on them.

When I do say less-than-positive things, I find it best to stay vague, so people can easily write off what I say. I think that folks here, are perfectly capable of making their own decisions, and that I’m best off, letting them do so, unencumbered by my opinions.

The problem with this is that it effectively gives license for companies to even more frequently toss a binary over the wall and make no attempt at long term maintenance, because that old binary still technically works.

It also means more users using more emulated binaries more frequently, which can make the hardware’s battery life and performance seem worse than they actually are, especially to less technically inclined users who don’t know the details but notice their laptop dying a lot faster than it should.

As I mentioned elsewhere, Relay solves all of these problems automatically while people try to hack around their homegrown solution with React Query and the like. JSON Schema is tacked on as an afterthought to REST, not built in, so it's necessarily more hacky than REST.

Fortunately, we live in a adversarial legal system, where each side in a courtroom makes a self-serving argument, as opposed to a balanced one, and its up to the jury and judge to figure out a balanced path that reconciles those self-serving viewpoints.

(And if we're going to limit rights to people who can understand complicated issues and make balanced arguments about them, an awful lot of 85-yer olds are going to be in a bit of a pickle. I agree, though, that it would be interesting to explore excluding anyone who, say, needs to wear diapers from both political and legal processes... There is a minimum voting age, after all, why not a maximum one?)

With respect to recall vs Performance, your idea is indeed correct. However, several reasons have guided us to our current approach:

1. We are not solely benchmarking open-source systems; we are also focusing on cloud services. Some of these services, such as Zilliz and Pinecone, don't allow users to customize their parameters to tune the recall, aiming to simplify their usage. Consequently, creating a recall vs Performance graph is not feasible. Also this benchmark allow users to customize their parameters for systems allowing tuning to get their own result to do comparison.

2. There already exists a number of benchmarks doing what you've suggested, which target individuals with ANN search backgrounds. Our goal is to make this benchmark as straightforward as possible and to assist people who lack understanding about the inner workings of each system.

3. Concerning reproducibility, generating a recall vs QPS graph that you mentioned, would require conducting a multitude of tests to obtain enough data points, which considerably reduces reproducibility.

> that they have like 5 empty folders nested just to have 3 java files. I don't see that in C# world.

> My issue, though, is i can't find a way to safely generate oxygen for a decent price.

Depends on the definition of generate and decent price, but you can buy stationary medical oxygen concentrator for $1000, portable for $3000. If you want something easier you can buy pre-filled bottles or refill existing bottles at industrial gas supply places. If you want more, you can get a concentrator setup which small private airports use to refill oxygen bottles for small private airplanes.

And lastly, if you need small amount quickly, you can buy Boost Oxygen Bottles from Amazon.
this sounds like the select() object was being used incorrectly, using a pattern that currently emits very prominent deprecation warnings which is:

stmt = select(...)
stmt = stmt.where(stmt.c.foo == 'bar')
stmt = stmt.where(stmt.c.bar == 'xyz')

That above pattern is one I've seen people do even recently, using the "select().c" attribute which from very early versions of SQLAlchemy is defined as "the columns from a subquery of the SELECT" ; this usage began raising deprecation warnings in 1.4 and should be fully removed by 2.1 as it was a remnant of a much earlier version of SQLAlchemy. it will do exactly as you say, "make a subquery for each filter condition" and will produce disastrous queries. people have started tripping over it recently as a result of 1.4 / 2.0's move away from the ORM `Query` object back towards `select()`.

the moment you see SQLAlchemy doing something you see that seems "asinine", send an example to https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/discussions and I will clarify what's going on, correct the usage so that the query you have is what you expect, and quite often we will add new warnings or documentation when we see people doing things we didn't anticipate (such as in this case, I thought we had removed .c by 2.0 but apparently it's still just deprecated. it will be gone in 2.1).

I am trapped inside of Victoria, unfortunately. I wholeheartedly agree with GP poster. We saw visitor bans, curfews, work permits, arrests, rubber bullets and riot gear police deployed as "epidemiological" measures. My respect for police and public service in general went right out the door. Now there is only fear. Biggest regret of my life to settle down here. The huge majority electing the same person only solidifies my view that they may just be the different biological species. The "premier" spared no expense in making the event all about him and only him - just check the Wikipedia page [0].

That's a feat no other leader in any world's jurisdiction even attempted to. I don't know if it is another "red shirts" undertaking or a sycophantic "grass roots" movement - wouldn't be surprised with both, but just don't care at the moment. Seeking an exit of Victoria, but the most likely one for me will be out of existence.

If you think public support validates the "measures", check another example of similar landslide victory - election in Belarus of 1994. That win was as democratic as they get, I am telling you as a first-hand witness. The support was very genuine, for at least a decade to come. As for myself and my family - we feel that we escaped that hellhole only to land in a worse one... where there is no escape from.
