Companies play zero sum games against workers regardless of the existence of unions. Do you know how many times I've heard that a company I work for has posted record profits, but can't supply the yearly bonus because we gotta tighten up the belt on spending?

If companies were less abusive and not ran by sociopaths in the US we wouldn't see the acceleration of unionization like we are.
I'm with you on that. If they removed the product once they learned what it was, I'm not sure how an you could say they "let" someone sell it, rather than that they were tricked into selling it for a while. The name of the show is The Great Amazon Heist, which maybe tells you a little bit about what is going on. I agree with the article, and perhaps with the prankster, that Amazon didn't do enough due diligence on the products they sell, but "let" implies they would continue selling it even after knowing what it was.

Is it? Doesn't pretty much every language have a unicode string type (be that UTF16 in older languages or UTF8 in newer one) that is the default goto type for dealing with text these days? C and C++ being the notable exceptions I suppose.

To your point, like Fraiser, it's often used a plot device in Bob's Burgers and generally, like Fraiser, everything turns out OK. For me, a lot of it is more defining the social class and context of the show. Will the character be comfortable in a wine club? How will they interact with this setting? What problems would they have?

> to be part of the Python ecosystem

I'd rather use Python if I'm in the Python ecosystem. So many attempts were made in the past to make a new language compatible with the Python ecosystem (look up hylang and coconu -- https://github.com/evhub/coconut). But at the end of the day, I'd come back to Python because if there's one thing I've learnt in recent years it's this:

minimize dependencies at all costs.

That's a screenshot across the entire width (of the top) of my monitor, as you can see from NP++ being maximised behind MS Word. Pretty darn busy, isn't it?

Sure, I can clean it up quite a bit, I can find out how to customise that. But naive users? They'll probably freak out. (And, TBF, I just noticed you can grab on to at least some of those busy-looking fields and drag it. But I only noticed that just now, while futzing around to screenshot it. And again, would my Mom? Or yours?) No, on the whole: What large software providers do to the Windows ittle bar nowadays is shit. The larger, the shittier. So of course Microsoft itself is worst of them all.

Because they need to put out even more expensive content to compete with Disney's expensive content.

Netflix and Disney aren't competing so much on price, as much as desirable content divided by price. In other words, they're competing on value (as well as certain must-see exclusives).

And it is extremely non-obvious what the right balance of premium content and price is, and it changes depending on what your competitors are doing.

Entertainment is not a sector of the economy where prices come down over time relative to income, the way food and consumer products have.

Monty and the White Room • a Python Analogy
Analogies are great, not perfect, but useful to get a deeper, or just different, perspective of abstract concepts. Monty and The White Room is an all-encompassing analogy dealing with the fundamentals of a Python program.
>So the contract only covers time? Not actual work, but only time? Do I get to spend the time how I want as long as there is a paper trail that it was your time I just wasted?

I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be gotcha at my wording, but it's pretty obvious that if you're paying for someone's time, there's an expectation that they're doing what you want them to do. Otherwise it's like ordering an airbnb but you don't get to use it.

>Yet both are legal and social constructs and not something you can make up on the fly to fit your personal preferences.

Let's go with the legal construct then. Most companies are not in fact "charities" as defined in Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 501(c)).

>I have been worked to exhaustion for one employer.

No one is forcing you to work "to exhaustion".

>You don't get to reap the profits and socialize the costs, that only incentivizes more abuse.

If you read my previous comment carefully you'd note that I was only against leaving the responsibility of providing those services to companies. That does not preclude companies paying for those services in some way. Most developed countries don't leave the responsibility of providing healthcare to companies, and instead use a combination of public/private insurance schemes that companies and individuals pay into. Are you against that as well, because that would allow companies to "reap the profits and socialize the costs"?

>So if that person was you would you fire yourself and move onto the street in front of your former business?

In reality there are other considerations for key employees like the CEO which complicates this, but in principle? Yes. The CEO has a fiduciary duty to shareholders and if he's incapacitated and unable to fulfill his duties he should step down rather than using the company as a personal rainy day fund.
That's the reason for my comment, if they were targeting smart ML engineers that can see through the gimmick, you'd expect them to market differently.

Maybe stating the obvious, but virtually everyone with one or more home loans should be itemizing their deductions to include that and their state sales or income tax. The standard deduction is very generous for non-homeowners (IMO), but it's easy to get a higher deduction just based on home loans and state tax, without even getting into all of the sketchy loopholes that some tax preparers will try to use.

As mentioned in a sibling comment, Lebesgue integration can be helpful with probability theory because we can wrap some information into the measure rather than the function. Though, to be sure, this can often be done in a similar manner using the Riemann-Stieltjes integral.

To me, part of the value of Lebesgue integration is in understanding the limitations of Riemann integrals and when they break. Some of this is covered in Stroock's book in chapter 5.1. Alternatively, when in working in function spaces, we may need to integrate in a more general way than Lebesgue integration, so things like Bochner integrals, which require similar theory. This can arise in the theory related to things like PDE constrained optimization, which most of the time is targeted toward physics related models.

All that said, bluntly, I prefer to work with Riemann integrals when at all possible. However, the same question then applies. Do you or someone else have a reference for a rigorous derivation of the divergence theorem or integration by parts in multiple dimensions using Riemann integration? It's not particularly hard in one dimension, but higher dimensions is tricky and it's hard to get the details of integrating on the surface correct. Stroock's book is the only reference that I know of and he does it with Lebesgue integration.
It's so true.

Yeah there's definitely other tradeoffs involved when decomposing a program into multiple binaries connected over the network, deployment coupling being one of them.

However, I still think this is fairly related to what I was trying to convey because it's related to the _process_ of the engineering vs. the technical merit of the deployed solution. The tradeoff space you're describing is pretty much a function of how big the team is, how it's structured, the products uptime requirements, deployment frequency, etc. as opposed to the technical merit of the design in isolation.

I don't think I worded it particularly well in my original comment, but I think these tradeoffs are interesting and frequently people talk past eachother about them because the 'right' decision depends on all the non-technical factors of the product.
It is part of the drive to make Redis "more like your classic database," he said. In the future, support for natural language queries and enhanced vector and feature store capabilities will be added.

VLC is developed by a non-profit (as far as I'm aware). I'm kind of interested in what the world would be like if all companies were non-profit.
I'm not advocating you write this, I'm saying people have written it, probably hundreds of thousands of times, and if charAt() becomes O(n) instead of O(1), this code suddenly hangs your CPU for 10 seconds on a long string, thus you can't really swap out UTF-16 for UTF-8 transparently.

Unions exist for the direct benefit of the employees. Firms can't exist without employees. Why do you think that unions are parasites? Do you think employees are parasites on firms?
It's funny. I would not ever want to paint Norquist as an ultra-powerful shot-caller. I just assume those are the guys who donate the money and the guys decide who gets the donations. When you think about it in those terms, he's perhaps more of a cultural artifact.

But wow, what an artifact! There has not been, to my knowledge, an instance of a newly elected US Senator publicly saying "signing this absurd thing is beneath the dignity of my office and of course I'm going to try to keep taxes low, the voters of xxx elected me because they know I'm a dedicated conservative, but it is impossible to guarantee that it will not be necessary to levy a new tax of some kind, so I am not going to promise that." Or something along those lines.

He doesn't get to decide who gets the donations, but he does get to administer the Kool-Aid, and it's powerful stuff.

(edit: it occurred to me that given the rules involving political donations, and PACs, and so on, he might be administering all kinds of money and the public wouldn't necessarily know about it, so... yeah...)
If people believe that the Fed will drop the rate back to nothing at some date close to the future, then investors will behave as though the interest rates aren't increasing, even if they are. In that case, it won't impact inflation. The Fed has to make the rate increase "real", so they must keep increasing the rate and/or keeping it at high levels.
I still maintain that Windows 2000 was the best version of Windows. It was lean enough that it ran on older hardware, used the more secure NT kernel, lacked the XP bloat, was user friendly for most users, and didn't include a bunch of unused crapware.

Nowadays my latest laptop came with Windows 11 pre-installed. It loads up, logs in, connects to the network and shows the desktop background. That consumes 5GB of RAM and 27GB of HD space. Windows 2000 did the same in 64MB of RAM and 1.2GB of HD space.

Anyway, I've replaced WIndows 11 with Linux, and booting to my desktop consumes 800MB of RAM
Fair enough, I will return for remedial re-education after I complete my social media training.
Bingo.

Even a relatively tiny company can have a huge impact on your life. Say you're interested in a niche hobby, so niche there's only one company who organises meet-ups and events around that hobby. The best friend of the chairman runs the main online forum for that hobby.

If you have a falling-out with either of those people, or their friends - you're going to lose all the social aspects of your hobby, and they're probably going to slander you to everyone they know. And people will repeat the lies, assuming that the chairman of the major event of the niche hobby wouldn't lie... and on and on.

The people who seek these roles absolutely love this, though homeowners' associations are probably the more familiar example of the same power structures.

FWIW: you can use any other proxy server for this to any openai compatible api server.

e.g. with mitmproxy and llama-cpp-python server

python -m llama_cpp.server --n_ctx 4096 --n_gpu_layers 1 --model ./path/to/..gguf

and then with mitmproxy in another terminal

mitmproxy -p 5001 --mode reverse:http://127.0.0.1:8000

and then set this in your vscode settings.json (the same as for localpilot):

"github.copilot.advanced": {
"debug.testOverrideProxyUrl": "http://localhost:5001",
"debug.overrideProxyUrl": "http://localhost:5001"
}

works way better for me than localpilot

My experience is that most Python programmers would consider "pure Python" to basically be using the standard library.

There's also the issue of doing complicated work with NumPy and you start looping and revert back to slow (pure) Python because you are crossing the NumPy/ Python interface. Tools like Cython, Numba, and probably Mojo help to solve this.

Key stats: "Cash & Cash Equivalent & Other Short-Term Deposits" are $73,567,577,334 (out of total assets of $86,499,251,218). Remaining assets are precious metals ($3,270,216,824), bitcoin ($1,676,229,360), corporate bonds ($115,496,758) etc.

It is no rocket science to see why USDT is in black now - with 83B USDT, they have that much cash available to park in T-bills and earn 5+% interest just like that. Even if they were in a hole a few years back, they would have recovered over the last 12-18 months when interest rates started rising.

You make it sound like suicide is totally fine and harmless. Isn't it shocking that lots of people kill themselves with guns?

Because that's the thing with guns: they make killing easy. They also make suicide trivial. I know people who have struggled with depression and survived multiple suicide attempts. If they had access to guns, I don't think they'd be alive right now.

The numbers don't just look big because the US is a large country. Corrected for population size, gun violence in the US is still at least an order of magnitude larger than in other countries. I know of no other country where schools practice shooter drills.

> For example, Obama killed more children with drones in 8 years than children were killed with guns in the USA in 20 years. (In both cases we are talking about absolute figures <1000.)

That does not seem to be even remotely true. Not for any part of that claim. Well, maybe the part about children killed by drone strikes being less than 1000, because I can't find figures about that, but the number of civilians killed by drone strikes in the last 20 years seems to be 10k-20k.

According to [0], 31780 children have been killed by guns between 2000 and 2020. According to [1], the number of children dying from firearms is rising and now larger than the number of children dying from cars or cancer.

Your entire suggestion that people killed by guns is not really a problem sounds incredibly callous about human life.
