We hire on Freelancer sites quite a bit and have noticed that about 50%-80% of applicants now very obviously use ChatGPT or equivalent to apply. Now suddenly every person magically has 8 years experience in a weird esoteric requirement that we're looking for.

They are currently very easy to spot and the applications go directly into the trash, so the freelancers aren't doing themselves any favors using them.

It is increasing the noise floor a lot though.
Careful, the 'Reduce' and 'Reuse' part of the 3 R's are deeply unpopular. How dare we not cover everything in useless plastic wraps? It's practically a jobs program. Do you wanna make the plastics workers unemployed???
Where did this insurance myth come from?

Why do people think there's some kind of insurance that has anything to do with people shoplifting from a standard retail store?

Like that's not a thing. There's insurance for catastrophic losses and out of the ordinary stuff but there's not an insurance policy that's paying for people stealing from gas pumps, or grabbing a TV from an electronic store and running out the door.
> identify high-crime areas that to target for patrolling, which doesn't seem like a huge problem to me

The wonderful Weapons of Math Destruction has a chapter on how this leads to a self reinforcing loop.

More crimes means more police presence. More police presence means more recorded crimes. More crime data means more police …
No, you'd get out, realize what was happening, and get back in the car and put it in neutral or otherwise gently move it 6" to stop crushing the person.
ok, here's my actual invocation per my .zshrc:

It doesn't start a new doom workspace /most/ of the time. Sometimes i'll get a new one if i've got multiple editors opening up the same file, I think. But the `-s` flag starts a console server that at least keeps those out of my main emacs window (I use the gui version from emacs-plus)

The article is pretty clear that a human driver did hit the victim.
The wheel as a general technology isn't obsolete, but a model year 4000BCE wheel certainly is.

In your analogy that would be like Apple declaring the Smartwatch category obsolete, which they have not done.

> having to remove the battery to access the microSD card is a weird choice.

IIRC, my old Samsung Galaxy S5 was like that too. While I would prefer being able to remove the card without removing the battery, in practice it wasn't that big of a deal for me since I only swapped out cards every few months.
That's where $1999 color E Ink display comes into play.

The turning point was earlier than Netflix or Spotify – it was the iTunes Store. It was such a dramatic shift, people labelled Steve Jobs as “the man who persuaded the world to pay for content”.

I've been trying to think this through a bit.

The way I understand it is: There are two cars waiting to go through an intersection. The Cruise and the Human-Driven car. The light turns green, and the Cruise's pathway through the intersection is clear.

A pedestrian is crossing the intersection in the path of the human-driven car, but not in the path of the Cruise.

Both cars enter the intersection, the human-driven car strikes the pedestrian, who then rolls off the human-driven car into the path of the Cruise, and is run-over the Cruise.

Of course, I haven't seen the accident, but if that's broadly correct, I'm not sure that this is the damning evidence of "driverless cars are unsafe" some people seem to be spinning it up to be.

It is a tragedy, but it seems to be a tragedy caused primarily by a human driver who struck a pedestrian, and a human pedestrian who ignored a traffic signal.

Should the bar for driverless cars be "able to predict when other vehicles will hit a pedestrian and roll that person in their path"?

Would a human-driven vhicle have done any better? If the places were reversed, would the Cruise have struck the pedestrian in the first place?

I think we're all right to be skeptical of machine-driven cars, but I'm not certain that this specific incident is a point against them.
AppleCare is a great service. I’ve had the exact same experience!

The problem is then also ensuring all other options are artificially worse than AppleCare. Your local “mall guy” is just as capable of swapping out a battery, in theory.
It sounds like your town is not affordable to some residents, so your local government needs to help support those residents. Your non-resident/resident distinction is meaningless in the US, because we have freedom of movement. Anybody can move to your town if they feel like it, and would them be a resident.

Internal movement restrictions come with their own problems, so probably not the best solution.

Perhaps if your town allowed for development, there would be sufficient supply, and you wouldn't need to subsidize housing?
if a human had been driving they could have moved the car to stop pinning the victim

FWIW, that's not necessarily better. In some cases, when suffering a crushing injury, it's best to leave the crushing weight in place until EMS personnel arrive and can transition immediately from "removing the weight" to "corresponding intervention". You can see a bit of the discussion around what goes into treating "crush" type injuries here:

https://www.ems1.com/patient-handling/articles/4-things-ems-...

Also, as others have pointed out, it's probably best to lift the car off the patient as opposed to running them over with the wheels a second time.
Back when I lived somewhere with TV reception I used an open-source DVR with an LCARS interface. I'm totally blanking on the name of it though.
I don't think you can enter an intersection if not hitting a pedestrian means you would be blocking that intersection...
This seems like it?

My previous job was a full stack developer, but I had built the entire product from front to back on my own and knew how it all worked. I found it quite easy and even enjoyable. Now I'm working a job that is not full stack and I'm finding it extremely stressful because I didn't build the thing and still haven't figured out how the different parts work, much less work together.
As far as I can recall the fp3 was sold with a promise of five years of software updates and parts. I think they're still honouring that and haven't backtracked on any such promises for any of their models, so their track record is good in terms of keeping promises

I couldn't find any mention that they backtracked on their promises, but if that were to be the case, that would indeed be a very strong disincentive to trust them on their commitment to the fp5

Hi, I'm the co-creator of this toolkit. Yes, in many ways ZenStack can be considered as an alternative to Supabase. The main differences are:

- At runtime, it's a library that runs inside your current framework (Next.js, Express, etc.), so no extra hosting is needed.

- It doesn't embed a database. You bring your own - any DB supported by Prisma.

One thing that goes beyond Supabase/PostgresRLS is that it supports column-level security as well. You can write rules to control CRUD permissions at the field level. This provides a much finer-grained control granularity.

And, yes, the DX of Prisma is a very good thing to have :D.
Also the prosecution then has the ability to rain questions on you.

When you are super guilty, that typically doesn't go well.
You said the joke made you leave. The normal color scheme is not part of the joke, and I'm sorry it hurts your eyes. I won't try to defend the eye hurting.

I mean... no. Apple publishes breakdowns/reports of their recycling efforts and it's pretty damn good for what it is, and these devices now last a very long time if you don't feel like chasing the yearly upgrade train.

The selling point of the Fairphone is moreso that it's:

- Attempting to pay fair wages to workers

- Not Apple, for those who just don't want an Apple device

- More (user) repair-able

These are all very valid reasons to want to use something like the Fairphone and I am glad it exists, and it might even be my next phone - but to imply that it wins out over the iPhone trade-in-and-get-it-recycled flow is just bonkers.

I don't think diagonal screensize is the most fair metric here... bezels have gotten much, much, much smaller.

Compared to an iPhone 4, which I think is a lot of people's idea of a "normal" sized phone, a Pixel 6A 32% longer, and 22% wider. It's also 30% heavier.
Can you elaborate on the permission comment? The designs in their github allow commercial use with attribution. They even link to a Google form for submitting your product to their marketplace. Is there a submarine restriction somewhere?
That still doesn't seem like very much time to me. Job hunting involves hours and hours of interviews; five minutes of paperwork is negligible by comparison, right? Are people mass-spamming applications or something?
"we shouldn't lock people up for non-violent crimes except for ones similar to the one I was a victim of" seems like kind of a..limited view?

I don't think there's anything particular about SBF that makes him more likely to re-offend (And even if he wanted to, one would hope he'd have a hard time convincing folks to hand over another 8 billion for him to embezzle a second time).

Which isn't to say that I don't think he should go to jail (he definitely should!), just that I don't think he's any more jail worthy then people who engage in other forms of non-violent theft and/or fraud.

That was normal in Texas ~15-20yrs ago. But in the intervening time, I've seen that become less common. I've run into places that won't let you pay after and will instead just ask you to prepay (full transaction) and come back in to get the difference refunded.

But I've also ran into plenty of places that if you hit "pay inside" on the pump will simply just turn the pump on, or will call you via the pump intercom (is that common everywhere?) and tell you they're turning the pump on for a max of XX gallons and to prepay or use the card at the pump if that's not enough.
It’s because of the nature of some these accidents and incidents by autonomous vehicles being under circumstances that would be very unlikely with even the most careless driver.

They highlight the helplessness and cold hard reality of being at the wrong end of a miscalculation.

So even if the overall number of accidents is less, the number of times a human driver would park on top of a victim of a hit and run and turn on the hazard lights is near zero.

I only apply to companies I really, really want to work for. Might sound a bit kitsch, but I work a lot on my cover letter to show how eager I am to work with them.

Of course it could be luck, but so far I wrote only two applications in my life and got both got accepted + for job offer from both (after interviewing).

When I tell people about my cover letters some say that HR don’t even read cover letters, but I want to believe otherwise :D
The vast majority of plastic is in packaging industrial purposes, i.e. moving stuff through factories and warehouses. It's not the brand new DVD that have the majority of it, it's the plastic CD-transporters, plastic dvd-case molders/holders/transporters, plastic wrap holders, etc.
We appreciate your feedback! We will experimentally see what type of candidates we can attract and update our process from there. I may be overly optimistic, but am hopeful this will attract the "T-shaped" candidate who's great at one area but is willing to roll up their sleeves in others.
Once every homeowner in your town is retired, how do you think this is going to end for you?
It would have been worse if it drove off instead of stopping. Having training data for this scenario seem difficult, likely need some sort of reworking for this edge case.
Suddenly everybody is thinking it will change the world and be integrated with every existing technology we have.

That's an argument against all technological progress. You had a crowd 20 years ago asking why you'd want a smart phone - a phone should just be great at making phone calls. Sometimes integrating new tech will be a huge leap, and sometimes a flop, but its hard to predict so you have to try it to find out. There is a reasonable chance an always available AI assistant in a portable device will be a big deal.
In what sense doesn't it work though? Because from a re-offending rate it unequivocally does work.

In terms of preventing new crimes from being committed, I think the honest answer is "it depends". I think early intervention and preventing crime in the first place is always going to beat punishing people for crimes after the fact.
I don't think this type of dichotomy of thinking is helpful. Given that the research seems to suggest that "heavy punitive sentencing" doesn't reduce crime, I think the take away is that human behavior is difficult to change.
What? Citation is definitely needed for that claim about Scandinavia.

Restorative justice may not "work" for every single person in every single situation but neither does punitive sentencing. If you look at recidivism for whether it "works" then restorative justice performs way better in the majority of cases. Then we should consider the moral/ethical correctness of what the justice system is and what it should do.
> The right to eat is prior to the right to property

It's so easy to deal in absolutes. There are enough of people who are shoplifting not because they need to eat. As someone who was on the government support, you really should do nothing to be in need to shoplift to sustain yourself.
This comment is so meta it hurts… I think you win the internet for today :-)
It's fine to point out the flaws in this data, but do you have any better data to point to?

The humans five times worse in that data. That is a very large gap. Even after adjusting for driving conditions, with a gap that large, self-driving cars are likely safer.

Also, don't assume a comparison is made in bad faith, just because it has flaws.

Most job application flows are suboptimal, but job seekers need to stop maximizing the number of applications they submit and instead create a few really great applications.

Font law is almost as complex and fascinating as Tree law.
Given how complex font licensing can be, a generative use case that produces usable fonts would be a huge threat to the foundaries and I expect they will be very litigious, just as Getty and others are in the image space.

But then it's not punishment for punishment's sake, but for deterrence's sake.

I read the comment as talking about retribution, to make the victim feel good, not about deterrence.

Are you saying you have data to show that 20 years for murder has a different deterrent effect than 120 years for murder?
Does pgroll have any process to address table bloat after the migration? One of the (many) nice things about pg-osc is that it results in a fresh new table without bloat.
The burden of proof is on the prosecution. If they can't prove that you did something wrong, you are more likely to get off.

Your lawyers can poke holes in the prosecution's case ("cast doubt" on it). Make it look like a weak case.

Getting on the stand and explaining an alternate timeline actually give the prosecution MORE evidence, from the horse's mouth. They can find new things you did wrong, they can find inconsistencies in your story, inconsistencies between what you said today and what you said last week. You're likely to commit perjury.

You're not expected to convince the jury of an alternate timeline, you just need them to NOT believe the very specific one the prosecution lays out.

My assumption is that he is trying to destroy it in a way that makes people dislike the entire platform (so a duplicate can't just spring up in its place and directly replace it).

Twitter has the potential to change power structures in the world due to its system, allowing people to track the actions of politicians and rulers in simple to digest, bite sized text blurbs with links to verifying details.

Now it's split up, people are fleeing to several alternatives, rampant distrust and misery abounds, and the entire platform has become rickety and unreliable.

This is a good thing for the current powers and principalities who want to remain unchecked in their actions.

Add to that a constant news stream of terrible horrible no good very bad things so people stay upset about events completely out of their control while also bombarding them with how good other people have it and you have a disassembled, weak, and easily controlled global population with no central structure or unified core.
But even if they had used it as intended, how could you tell whether it works?
How do you tell the difference between "there were going to be crimes there, but you patrolled there, and because you patrolled, there were no crimes" and "there were not going to be crimes there, whether you patrolled or not, so your patrol did exactly nothing."
I don't see many comments here about the alleged sexual harassment of NAR leadership. I, for one, am glad Redfin is calling them out for it and resisting investigation into it! Totally unacceptable behavior from NAR.
While I could certainly put most of this together from my undergrad CS education, I would not say this "subject [was] taught" to me during undergrad. Instead, as with much of undergrad, you get pieces of it along the way - but collecting it together and writing for a somewhat-lay audience has a lot of value. This is also more up to date than my under grad education from ~14 years ago! It has clear explanations for things like Hyperthreading, which existed at the time I was in undergrad, but hadn't really made its way into the curriculum yet.
I don't think "not widely used internally anymore" is a common rationale for open sourcing something.

Generally I'd expect companies to open source things when it's proven itself internally and they want to reap the benefits of open source:

- Make internal engineers happy - engineers like having their code released outside the bounds of their company

- Prestige, which can help with hiring

- External contributions (not even code necessarily, just feedback from people who are using it can be amazingly useful for improving the software)

- Ability to hire people in the future who already know important parts of your technical stack, and don't need internal training on it

- Externally produced resources that help people learn how to use the software (tutorials, community discussion forums etc)

If the software is no longer used internally, open sourcing it is MORE expensive - first you have to get through the whole process of ensuring the code you are releasing can be released (lots of auditing, legal reviews etc), and then you'll have to deal with a flow of support requests which you can either deal with (expensive, especially if your internal knowledge of the tool is atrophying) or ignore (expensive to your reputation).
Exactly. The car in front might be reacting to some road hazard that just appeared that is not visible from behind it or it may have some mechanical failure. It doesn't matter why it comes to a stop, it is always and all times the responsibility of the trailing car to maintain enough distance to be able to come to a complete stop given the speed and road conditions.
He probably believes he did it all by himself.
The thing about my situation is that the increase happened very rapidly. If it continues at this rate, it will be profitable very quickly. At the moment I don’t think I could make “flipping” it worthwhile, but I don’t want to either.

I’m not excited at all, and I expect the home to be a financial burden for a very long time. I’m more so upset that so many of my friends and family are brutally priced out of having stable housing and it’s only getting worse.

Ideally I’d live here for 20 or 30 years, but we’ll see. Above all I want to be close to my kids, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll afford to live here.
