Yes, but they often mean multiple things. Very few dictionary entries only have a single definition for a word. You can't use "words mean things" to claim that "this word means only what I say it means, regardless of the other accepted uses it already has".

> You don’t think it’s important to draw a distinction between whether a robot was deliberately programmed to do something malicious as opposed to a bug which caused an oversight?

I do think there are times when it is very important to do that.

I just don't think that "ignore" is the right word to make that distinction, and isn't a distinction the authors were trying to make at that particular time, because if they were they would probably have used another word.

...at least, that's how I read it. It seemed clear to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There have been free or very cheap NFTs in the past, and handing out free coins is the easiest way to get your cryptocurrency flowing.

I'm no criminal, but if I were, I would definitely target cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Many of them are the perfect target, having access to large sums of money, having the ability and willingness to transfer funds in a near untraceable way, and often looking for a get-rich-quick scheme like those cryptomultimillionaires.

Things like NFT smart contract that would transfer all of your NFTs when trying to get rid of them, coupled with unpleasant pictures, coupled with cryptoclout, publicly accessible profiles, and no method to refuse a transaction, have produced some ingenious thefts that nobody would even think possible ten years ago. Millions of real world dollars have been spent on pictures of monkeys, and millions have been lost after someone stole those pictures.

Thats typically something you can configure in your terminals settings. Though avoiding requiring everyone know how to do this and actually do this is an improvement in developer experience so there's some merit here.. but is there any real standards around what characters get included in copying like this, or any best practices based on common defaults?

if not it might just become a situation of optimizing for your own workflow. and considering how ubiquitous uuids are and how common dash delimiters are outside of that(jira ticketscome to mind) maybe it would be better to fix places where double click selections do not include dashes instead of trying to avoid dashes in identifiers?
A few key items to consider in reducing workload:

Reduce the thinking load

Implement things that actually reduce the need for the driver/pilot/user to think, allowing just trained reactions.

Be careful with this sort of "automation" — it has to be absolutely reliable, i.e., the unthinking response needs to be correct every time, and the feature does not lead the driver/pilot/user into errors — the occassional errors will force the driver/pilot/user to think MORE, e.g., "wait, will this lead me to an error this time?!?", making everything actually slower. OTOH, if you can truly reliably automatically manage some part of the driver/pilot/user workload, that frees up mental space for every other part of the workload.

Speed Is Life

The interface MUST be faster than the fastest driver/pilot/user. ANY perceptual delay causes multiples of that delay in the response input from the driver/pilot/user, or creates a bad feedback loop (start correcting, response data is delayed, leading to overcorrection, then bigger input the other direction, which data is also delayed, bigger over-reverse correction... crash). In software UI/UX, there may bot be a risk of physical crash, but the effects of microscopic delay are actually insanely corrosive on productivity, think 1-2 orders of magnitude.
A Breaking Point for the U.S. Auto Industry
Well KDE has been pretty good about implementing wayland extensions for things like screen recording, accessibility, etc. Gnome has also been implementing extensions but they tend to go off and do their own thing.

The main barrier is honestly expecting a bunch of unpaid open source developers to go and re-implement everything. Stuff like barrier/synergy technically has the extensions needed to add in wayland support but it's still all unpaid volunteers.

There also used to be some more leeway about protocols and extensions. For a long time now Gnome has been saying "you're either a gnome app or you're not" when they deprecated stuff like tray icons. But there was generally a way back, a way to run your non-gnome app cleanly on Gnome. With the introduction of wayland they seem to be more set on forcing developers to choose, like they really are blocking tray icons now. There are common desktop extensions that Gnome just isn't really interested in developing.
There is literally no content in this paper besides a rough idea of how something like this could work, with a metric ton of bullshit bingo mixed in there. Man I really hate the academic paper system.
The weirdest thing about things like dry-monad is that they're so incredibly shoehorned in. In places like Haskell, the default for a function is to be pure and monads add some capability for side effects (ie logging, or keeping state, or error tracking, all the way up to arbitrary IO). In Ruby on the other hand, the default is that a method can do anything it pleases, from from monkeypatching the standard libraries to database queries to launching intercontinental nuclear missiles. There is (by design!) no contract enforced at all on what the code can do.

Trying to bolt paradigms from stricter languages onto Ruby is like nailing jelly to a wall.
The problem is that if you want Red Hat or Canonical to support integrating your new library across all the applications that need it, it has to support FIPS. If it doesn't people who need FIPS and have the money to support maintenance will avoid integrating it.
Has the Reddit boycott lead to any result?
There were calls for boycotts, people who'd never use it again, lots of hot threads in HN.

But a few months passed and it seems the Reddit admins had their ways and none of the demands were met. Was there even a change in traffic or did Reddit only need to wait out for the end of the drama and get back to business as usual?

I personally stopped using it, as I spent too much time on it anyway. Maybe other HN users did it too, but that may not reflect the habits of the majority of reddit audience.
A good example is one of the classic Computer Architecture class assignments which is to simulate a cache. So the way that looks is you have a stream of memory accesses and you "simulate it" by parsing that file and simulating the actions that would be taken. ie: "ok this block would be put in cache. This next access was a hit, this next access was a miss, etc". So then you just count those actions and estimate the performance by tallying all that up.

That's the behavioral model part and IRL they do basically the same thing to decide what behavior they actually want the hardware to do.

The next step is the circuit-level model done in verilog which actually simulates the logic-gates and does involve viewing a signal at every clock cycle.

Does that happen often? When I pass by the wind farm every time I go to visit extended family, I don't think I've ever seen them stopped. Granted that's not often. I really don't know.

I imagine you'd place them in an area where there's almost always wind, otherwise you've planned poorly.

(I sighed a bit, for I knew very few English Lit majors who are equipped to teach me science, but I am very aware of the vast state of my ignorance and I am prepared to learn as much as I can from anyone, however low on the social scale, so I read on.)

As I've said from the start, the best and only valid uses of LLMs is to create screenplays, limericks, song lyrics, and other entertainment.

In that vein, as soon as I gained access to Bing Chat, I began to set up some scenarios for it, and elicit some screenplays. One of my prompts was to write a screenplay about Emperor Constantine the Great meeting his mother, Saint Helena.

It started out innocently enough, of course, Helena enters the throne room and they catch up on old times, but it rapidly became extremely suggestive as his mother solicited kisses from the uncomfortable ruler.

I think I prompted Bing for a second round, and at that point it became explicitly and blatantly incestuous, and not very comedic, but just sort of gross. I have no idea why or how the GPT would've had the idea to go off on that cliff.

The other great historical meeting I arranged was between Hannibal the Carthaginian and St. Francis of Assisi, who were, of course, not contemporaries, but I wanted to see how it'd play out.

So St. Francis comes up to Hannibal and starts sort of working on him to sue for peace and not invade Rome. And it didn't take too long for Hannibal to see it another way, and ultimately he accepted Christ and asked Francis to baptize him. So, interesting outcome there; definitely would've changed history!
Sure, but sometimes we don't care about knowing who is communicating. For example:

I don't care if someone knows my bank sent me a message, but I want the content of the message to be secure (not just in transit, but also at rest)

I don't care if someone knows my primary care physician sent me a message, but I want my lab results to be secure.

I don't care if someone knows I communicated with my CPA, but I want my tax and receipts to be secure.

CI is also notoriously expensive to migrate, which the author alluded to. The pumpkin spice latte of software engineering is disdain for things like Jira and Jenkins but what keeps them in their seat is all the custom integration work that has to be done.

I'll take your word for it that wind farms aren't visible 40 miles above the earth. But for the life of me I have no idea why we're talking about it. Is there a lot of wind up there?

…until you need to market to people who didn't get a shipping last month, delay shipping until at least one recharge attempt, or ship before charging for customers you're reasonably sure will pay anyway.

Business changes, and putting rigid firewalls in place without seeing an established pattern of change and without established need for that is a bad idea.

One global database buys you a lot (easy data access, easy transaction consistency, simple locks, even transactional notifications), and you can take it very far performance wise, throwing that away just in case you might need more performance later seems unwise.
A few years ago, my phone completely died. I walked into a store with it and my new phone, and got them to port the number to a new SIM without providing any information like the account PIN which I had set but didn't remember. It's good customer service, and even if they're supposed to check a bunch of info, that's still just a bit of social engineering to get around. The only solution is to not allow those lower level employees to do anything, which will cause complaints.
Its funny how much handwringing there is about wind farming aesthetic. The alternative is far uglier. A field of oil derricks is both ugly and smelly. A refinery takes up a massive footprint, is also smelly and ugly, and demands a lot of trucking and freight rail connections to boot. We even put this stuff next to our most valuable real estate, in the case of the inglewood oil field or chevron’s el segundo refinery.

> Android could append the unique app identifier (ie. "com.myapp") to the end of any data to be signed. Then the user can't be tracked between apps. But it also prevents you using 'sim sign in' to sign in to the same service from a web browser and app for example.

I doubt that: simply add two "SIM identities" (which on the mobile phone map to the same SIM card) to the account of the respective service.

NHibernate is quite popular alternative to EF and I've seen it used on many projects, especially big apps. Some smaller apps also choose Dapper (by StackExchange) and avoid EF.

Regarding ASP.NET, you're right. There are some alternatives, but not used very often from my experience.

Be careful, I trace cryptocurrency for scam and hack victims and have personally seen GV transfers used in attacks.

The lack of a physical SIM does not give more safety. "SIM Swap" means "convincing a system or human to transfer a phone number." A GV number is just as easy to transfer as any other phone number.
At that point, why not just buy the dry ice directly? It would surely be cheaper...
I've tried out a bunch of different tools on side projects, but always find myself coming back to Rails. It simply does so much out of the box and it does it in a way that generally plays nice with the entire framework. Every other set of tooling I've used, I quickly run into problems that Rails solves out of the box. I either need to spend hours configuring a bunch of components, rework things after discovering a breakage, or write insane amounts of boilerplate code.

That being said, I really cannot stand how abstracted certain parts of Rails are. This is further complicated by gems that may or may not follow convention and that Rails is not a strongly typed language. It can become nearly impossible to find documentation or worse documentation with completely missing components.

----

Example: Rails Migrations.

I love the Rails Migration setup. Once you write a migration, things just work.

However, writing an actual migration is an adventure at times.

* The documentation is sub-par with only the most basic examples in place.

* Advanced features are essentially undocumented. Did you know there's an Postgres specific migration guide? Good luck finding that from within the documentation.

* Much of the documentation ends you up in apidock where you learn critical APIs are completely undocumented.

* Terrible mix of named and unnamed parameters, some of them just seem like magic. Worse is the mixed use of things like types:

* t.column :identifier, :uuid (does this actually work? Seems like it should?)

* t.uuid :identifier (woah, where'd that magical function come from)

* t.references :foo, type: :uuid (woah, why does uuid require a named parameter here)

* Flags and options are poorly documented and it's often unclear what functions are (1) exposed from the database (2) abstracted away.

* Did you know you can utilize the postgres comment field in migrations?

* Where do I use plural? Where do I use singular? Where does it get automatically converted? Why do I need plural here and singular there? Why can't everything simply use plural?

* Do I need to use `required: false` or `optional: true` on this field? Why is that different than that other field?

These types of problems are all over the place. Far too many things seem to rely on stumbling on a random, likely outdated StackOverflow post. Many of these things would be far, far easier to understand with just a touch of verbosity and a bit less magic. That being said, when you do figure things out, the solutions are often short, elegant, and robust.

Recently, I've been finding ChatGPT incredibly helpful for wading through this cruft. It does really well with the advanced features. Even if it's slightly wrong, it gets me close enough without having to wade through documentation.
> 1. Be willing to be wrong a lot and admit it

2. Show vulnerablility

3. Deal with constant setbacks and disappoinment

This. It takes balls to take the hit for the team and to admit when something goes wrong. Often that means nuking your own promotion or looking worse to your own boss.

Most first level managers are just not ready to stop playing that promotion game themselves. And in their quest for their own promotion, they impose too much burden on the team.

The literal filter for hiring a manager should be "You might not get any promotion for 10 years. Are you still interested in this job?"
It takes willpower to actively avoid distractions. Using a single purpose device can improve the experience: an ereader for books, a DAP for listening to music…
Edit: Someone pointed out this might be a VC trap, which would explain why there's such breathless writing about a bogus model with no actual results included.

This is a whopper of ai-will-totally-take-over-trading nonsense paper, you'll become less informed about reality if you read it. I'm not going to cover everything but to make sure nobody thinks some new gpt is going to give trading recommendations:

* It's not clear the group ever trained a model. If they have, there's no data about that. There's an infinitude of subtle traps when training financial models you have to be aware of.

* The proposed training and evaluation periods are remarkably short for the holding periods they suggest, if they were to have included good test results

* There's no information about how the exact timing of the data feeds they're giving, how they measure the price+time+cost of execution, how they think about market impact, etc.

* There's no mention of risk management aside from some vague risk-preference ideas the gpt might theoretically have

Putting that aside, there's a fundamental misconception held by the authors. If you have some mega-network that can parse all sorts of financial information/statements/whatever and meaningfully tell you information about the future, you're not going to add a ton of nonsense about understanding written language prompts to have a discussion with the user. The actually valuable thing is the predicted forward returns / target portfolio / whatever piece of information you're trying to get.

It's possible you've had these customized (by a toolbar or direct setting). I'm fairly certain you can change the built-in ones (I have google mapped to "g" like it was (is?) in Opera).
Perusing this article quickly, it means a CI that is automatically handling things like caching build artifacts so that you don't need to recompile your entire repository every single commit. It's not about a faster program to call exec; it's about a program that knows it need not even call exec.
I suspect (not an expert, never experienced burnout myself yet thankfully) it depends on how much you can let go, how much you allow yourself to relax, and how you manage workload.

I've seen loads of people get over-excited - that is, they want to do all the things, and then some. Day job, second job, personal projects, conferences, social life, they just say 'yes' to everything. And they feel great! They get paid a lot, they get positive feedback, they genuinely enjoy what they're doing. But it's an addictive trap. Not saying you shouldn't do what you want to do when it comes to work, but set some limits.

People who can't set limits, who work overtime on the regular, who feel like they need to do even more in their spare time, who allow their work to interrupt their free time, they will be more susceptible to burnout. Because it feels good to them. Or because they're afraid they're not doing enough, or will run behind, or ???.
