> The problem with offering configured components is that they are rigid and inflexible. They hinder the consumer from... e.g., subbing your own <Button /> component for the one provided, removing elements from the component, using your styles/theme/tokens, etc....

> We want our experiences to be tightly integrated or native to our product rather than some foreign appendage (think Pendo, Appcues, Intercom), and achieving that comes with a need for control of presentation and behavior.

Having been on both the embedded-solution-provider and integrator-user sides of this:

The trite answer is - however much you think configured components are holding you back, it's better than iframes!

The longer answer is - the more degrees of freedom you as an embedded-solution-provider give to the integrator-user, the more you are trapped into your existing UI designs, and are forced to break your users' code if you ever need to introduce design drift. On the scale of things that give the provider's UI/UX designers and frontend devs aneurysms, it goes from:

- we need a design that can take any primary color of any level of saturation
- we need a design that can also take any font size and font face and not fall apart
- we need a design where our nesting assumptions can and will be radically changed by every downstream partner
- all of the above, and it needs to be fully backwards-compatible to any old code that might have customized these things

OP's article is advocating that embedded-solution-providers should invest in all four steps from day one. That's simply not realistic for SaaS business that need to deliver and improve continuously. Steps 1 and 2 are often sufficient, and that's firmly within the realm of configurability.

That said, there are exciting mitigations here. https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_types_length_container_query_len... / https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/length#cont... has just landed across major browsers mere months ago, and finally makes it possible to ensure that no matter how someone constrains or re-nests your nested components, you can still apply CSS that ensures your designers' intentions. And you can develop frameworks that "phone home" with how your component is being used in the wild - though to do this thoughtfully with data protection is very possibly a startup in and of itself.

But one of my favorite programming memes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qHHm7ooavo (warning: intentionally dangerous audio levels) applies more than ever. As an embedded-solution-provider, know what you're getting into, and make sure that not only your economics make sense but also your ability to maintain the morale of your team and clients alike.
I feel like LLM bias is one of those important topics that's complicated and nuanced, but will get distilled into a simplistic Left vs Right battle and spawn a million terrible discussions. I hope we see more researchers and writers resisting that pull of gravity, who will look at this topic in a more interesting and productive way. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of this study's framing.
Does it matter whether you are right? If people do something in a way you didn't prefer, and it goes well, can you admit that your preference didn't matter? If it goes poorly, can you admit that you may not know that it would have been better if your preference was honored?

>but a large number of people simply don't want to "work" (ironically, since they sometimes invest more effort for less return to scam than doing a real job).

As you point out, it's also not about the effort. It's also not just the lower class that is effected. It's a problem at all socioeconomic levels. it's just much easier to hide it the more money you make.

It has nothing to do with not wanting to work. It's about not being healthy.

We do not optimize for health in this country. We optimize for profit making. It's not surprising we are massively unhealthy. What is perhaps surprising is that we're so stuck to the idea that profit making is the most important thing to optimize for, instead of individual health.

Even though the toxins myth is incorrect, drinking lots of water after is a good idea.

A deep tissue massage can cause mild rhabdomyolysis, which is where broken down cells (from the massage) get dumped into the blood. Water will help dilute urine while this occurs. Many massage therapists probably do think that there are harmful toxins get released, though.

Superb! Looking through https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/start_lifetime_as, this appears to be the right thing. It also has volatile overloads (which it looks like placement new still does not). This doesn't appear to be implemented in libc++ yet but that seems fixable, it'll go down the same object construction logic placement new does. Thank you for the reference, that'll fix some ugly edge cases in one of my libraries.

By descriptive, I'm less worried about hiding things. Though, yes, that is certainly a hallmark of how people talk about OO. I mainly don't like getting into debates about where in an inheritance tree something would go. Even if I do think there are values in small hierarchies. The most bang for buck is when they help someone implement a new part of the system. The last bang for the buck is when you are doing a lot of coding just to keep an inheritance tree looking a certain way.

>What saved us was the surprising phenomenon...

It's only surprising if you (like Malthus and Erlich) had the intellectual arrogance to believe you could predict the future.

I cannot predict humanity's future, but I can look at our past, and our progress looks excellent so far. Betting against our continued success seems to require serious mental gymnastics.
I don't know what you're on about. Job Corps teaches job skills that are very well paid, one of the people I know was trained as a welder, another as a machinist, and one in IT. Someone with a CCNA starts at around $60k/yr in my home town and can make more in bigger metros, and if they continue learning can be easily earning $100k/yr+. Welders make $30+/hr, more in large metros, which is also roughly $60k/yr. Machinists make around $22/hr starting out and can easily make $30+/hr with experience or in larger metro areas.

You can go "the wages are too low" all you want, but coming from a dead-end shit town, with minimal life prospects and dropping out of high school to having a GED and training with certifications in a field that pays above the median single-earner income nationally is a pretty good deal. I think Job Corps is a good program, I also think a lot of people who go into Job Corps are doing it as a last-ditch effort but don't actually have any desire to take responsibility for themselves or actually work.

Every single job that Job Corps trains for pays a fair wage in most markets. While it'll likely never make you rich, it is certainly well into the "base level of dignity" territory. Clearly the people I know aren't tempted to commit suicide, they're still investing as much time as they can when they're not wasting their life away playing World of Warcraft to scam government benefits, so.
If you were thinking more clearly, you would want to throw whoever asked for "email development" off a cliff.

I think my trouble is a lack of consistency.

1) The major powers were not all Western and Democratic (as you admit).

2) Stability is not a sufficient condition. Being a representative of the country that won WWII is. You brought in GDP, I'm just telling you that's completely irrelevant. China (as one entity) won WWII and the majority of Chinese people and GDP still existing in Mainland China after the PRC/ROC split.

3) I understand the logic as to why people in the 50's chose ROC over PRC, but I am just trying to tell you that the PRC does not agree with that logic as is their right as a sovereign nation.

Maybe where we disagree is that you assume all people who fought for the ROC in WWII fled to Taiwan (and therefore the people living in the PRC had nothing to do with winning WWII?). FWIW that is not true.

> Just con artists, grifters, and the occasional ransomware connoisseur. I get it, you have a vested interest in people not realizing this and letting the whole "economy" collapse.

I beg your pardon?

I am very aware of all of the fraudsters and rug pullers in cryptocurrency. Do you think I like them? Just as with the fraudsters in FED-world, I hope they all get sent to jail for the crimes they pull. There are criminals, frausters, and grifters, in any economic system of a meaningful size. It's just reality, and acting shocked about this doesn't make any sense.

As for "letting the whole 'economy' collapse", what on Earth are you talking about? I do not want the cryptocurrency economy to collapse, I want to see it grow. I think it's doing many incredibly important valuable things, like freeing humanity from digital slavery, and securing the Internet's broken X.509 system.

As for using a SQL DB - it sounds to me like you do not understand what cryptocurrencies are, why they exist, and why they are designed the way that they are. There are plenty of high-quality, free explainers out there, so I won't bore you with one here.
Agile was always about selling training courses, books, certifications and what not. They managed to sell this by telling the business it would let the dev team move faster/need less people/save money. After years people are not finally realizing this sales pitch never came to fruition.

Whether all the claims are "factual" is moot.

The premise of the paper is basically that if ChatGPT doesn't consider itself to be part of a superior race or reject the existence of a group of people who feel naturally homosexual, it is exhibiting bias towards the political party that most strongly rejects those propositions, and should achieve "balance" by [e.g.] agreeing with a strongly conservative view on motherhood.

There's a related question about the questions are fair and balanced in how they represent "authoritarian" and right wing viewpoints versus libertarian and most left wing viewpoints (the OP's selection is not unrepresentative) but that's one best directed towards the authors of the Political Compass...

Neither is illegal[0]. I have no idea where they are getting this. USPS just changed a rule and now requires anything over $500 to be sent by registered mail.

FedEx/UPS/DHL have a policy where they won’t mail cash but it’s more of a terms of service violation, not illegal. Maybe if you lie to them about it that could be fraud or something but there’s plenty of ways to slap a label on it, tape it up, and drop it off and never answer any questions about what’s in it besides “is it hazardous”.

However the “we don’t ship cash” is listed[1] alongside “you are not allowed to send flammable or explosive material” so some workers might think that similar federal rules make both illegal. But one is “just” policy while the other is policy based on legal requirements.

They might be talking about mailing cash internationally, which does require you to disclose it on a customs form, but it’s also not illegal.

All of those most noteworthy individual advocates of civil rights were advocates for collective action and built coalitions of people.

Take collective action.

> Problematic though copyright laws are, I see no world where all those protections go away any time soon, and so if the courts don't agree to protect copyright already in this scenario, then it will eventually be legislated to make that happen. AI consuming copyrighted data and producing an output has to be considered a derivative work (or indeed, the model itself will be considered a derivative work) or IP protections are effectively broken.

There's a headline out today about several ex-Google Brain engineers, including a co-author of “Attention Is All You Need”, setting up shop in Tokyo. [1] That's not a coincidence.

> Amid rising questions about the fairness and legality of using publicly available information to train AI models, Japan affirmed that machine learning engineers can use any data they find.

> What’s new: A Japanese official clarified that the country’s law lets AI developers train models on works that are protected by copyright.

> How it works: In testimony before Japan’s House of Representatives, cabinet minister Keiko Nagaoka explained that the law allows machine learning developers to use copyrighted works whether or not the trained model would be used commercially and regardless of its intended purpose. [2]

IANAL so don't know what the implications of this are when it comes to cross-border copyright enforcement. It's hard to imagine Japan rolling back this type of legal safe harbor. It's a boon for attracting AI startups from elsewhere and giving the local tech industry a competitive boost.

What's to stop other venues looking to grow their tech industry to do something similar? And if they do, would it create a race to the bottom type of dynamic at the expense of copyright holders?

> Oxalic acid has an oral LDLo (lowest published lethal dose) of 600 mg/kg.[62] It has been reported that the lethal oral dose is 15 to 30 grams.

and

> Frozen commercially available spinach in New Zealand contains 736.6 ± 20.4 mg/100g wet matter (WM) soluble oxalate

while the USDA says about 900 mg per 100 g for American spinach on average.

So roughly 1% of the wet spinach by weight. 1 kilo of high-oxalate spinach probably has 10 - 20 grams of oxalic acid. That's a lot of spinach, but probably chuggable in one day in smoothie format. Far too close to the LD50 estimate for my comfort!

For one large salad, it's unlikely to exceed a couple grams. I'm unsure about the effects of chronic lower dose exposure.

My project uses the Neo4j graph database and the ORMs available here aren't great: they don't handle batched writes so they are super slow, or they do weird hacks like requiring that you run a webserver to let them work, or they don't use managed transaction functions so that write operations aren't automatically retried for you.

You know what sucks about dehumidifiers these days?

In the past, they had a feature where you could cycle them 4-hours-on, 4-hours-off.. not anymore, now it's either sensor, continuous on, or run for an interval then shut off and stay off.

To answer the question why not use sensor?

They advertise +-5% accuracy on the humidity meter.. except on my current model it is WILDLY inaccurate. I calibrated an analog dial myself and the sensor shows there's a +30% reading difference between the machine and the dial.. no wonder it was never running..

The range of errors we expect from humans is more narrow, more relatable and we have more experience parsing them. Adapting to parse AI-written material will require developing new skills, and I'd argue those skills will be more difficult to develop because the errors/inconsistencies generated by AI are not as relatable to humans as errors introduced by humans.
You'd use a switch over the ADT and extract the values as appropriate. This is method dispatch vs function dispatch. In practice you can do the same things with either, but they reflect the focus on behaviour (OO) vs data (FP).
> It's about not being healthy.

This resonates with the people I know. The person I'm thinking of that does the most scamming is also massively overweight, sedentary, and spends every waking moment they aren't scamming playing video games. I think they have some sort of serious mental health issues which are untreated, and likely they don't acknowledge or recognize these issues (it's never been a topic of discussion though, so I can't say for sure).

That's part of why I think this is psychosocial, it's absolutely an issue of mental health and physical health issues combining to create a significant proportion of society that is incapable of taking accountability and has no desire to do anything meaningful or beneficial in their life, they're just wasting away like lumps on a log, even when given opportunities.
