It's probably not about skill but productivity. Many founders have no skills apart from getting others to do the actual work (I am not being sarcastic, that is a skill too) so for them automated agents are just another road to productivity. Not everyone is driven by curiosity or wants to learn, some people only want to 'ship'. So in that sense there can be multiplicative returns without the person becoming more technically skilled.
Bahaha! I started getting into DnB in the mid-nineties and have left shows because of MCs that I just couldn't tolerate.

And while we're on the topic, and because it's rare for me to get to chat about DnB with anyone... here are some fun short stories from over the years:

A friends Dad happened by when I was listening to DnB without headphones and said "THAT is NOT music... it sounds like a toilet flushing".

---

I like listening to DnB during focus-intensive work. On a road trip with friends I'd been working without music for a bit and when I finally put headphones on with some DnB my friends were cracking up saying that I started typing at warp speed once the music started. Hey, it works for me!

---

I was wearing a Bass Drive radio t-shirt underneath an unbuttoned long sleeve shirt, so if you can picture it opened down the center and partially obscuring both sides of the large "Bass Drive" logo, and a friend starts staring at my chest and chuckling. I ask what's so funny and he says "Heh-heh... why're you wearing an "ass doctor" shirt?". "ass Dr", ha.

---

I use to work on the computer late into the night at a friend's house and he had a roommate who lived in the basement. I usually worked at the dining room table, which happened to be directly above the roommate's bed, with a hardwood floor between us, and on more than one occasion he'd come upstairs half-asleep and say "PLEASE stop tapping your feet on the floor". The last thing I'd ever want to do is torture him awake with that, but I'd be so into the DnB in my headphones that it was happening subconsciously.
> The H1B program is terrible in that it ties your immigration status to your current employer

I thought it was a temporary working visa more than a route to immigration? I understand the temptation to go for it (I did something not entirely dissimilar working in another country for a few years under temporary visas) but not the mindset that doesn't take into account the reality of the arrangement, which is well known up front.
If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, the memory location with address 0 is actually a writable address, but with the value being used semantically to handle division by zero? It's kind of wild to me that would even something that's even allowed to be done manually, let alone required by a certain mode. Is this something provided for compatibility reasons that you'd have to opt into, or is it just something enabled by default?
As someone who hates disjointed online services, I'm intrigued, but the subscription pricing suggests to me there's some server-side component to this (sync perhaps?) that I'm missing. What is the subscription fee paying for? And if there is a server-side component, I'm very wary of wrapping it around services that contain a hell of a lot of confidential information.
It was always clear it was to protect Soviet children.

Notably, the Stasi was never very effective at many tasks. It definitely turned a blind eye to organized crime, among many other things.

Great at destroying a people though so they can’t be a threat against you though. Apparently.

The Germans I know have noted that it’s still quite clear who grew up in East Germany. And the economy itself is no comparison either.

Well as the other commenter here clarified, you're right about transformer LLMs doing next word prediction, but my point is that's only the tip of the iceberg. The complexity of the model doing the prediction is incredible. Not basic stats.

The fact that it's unrealistic doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to achieve it. And the first step towards achieving something big is to state it as a goal when it's still unrealistic.

At some point, going to the moon was unrealistic. Right now, ending wars is unrealistic, but it's also absolutely necessary.
That's not universally true. The sewer system in my town was overbuilt in anticipation of a development that fell through. That's why sewer / water bonds are typically up for vote separately from property taxes because there's such an interplay with development.
Maybe. But they definitely should have brought it up before accepting the offer.

Embezzlement or something? Probably a no-go, especially if you are anywhere near money.

There's a whole host of crimes out there that you could have committed and be hired after. But the opportunity to explain yourself looks much better if you do it before accepting the offer.

I'm surprised the RLE example shows an improvement with RLE if you fill the entire artboard. Seems like it's only an improvement if there are null entries.

Why does a completely full art board benefit from RLE that only tracks null pixels?

The Empowered Programmer Cohort (https://www.empoweredcoder.com) seems like a good fit here. I think the syllabus more than justifies the investment (under your budget). I am currently attending this and learning distributed systems from a low-level perspective (think Compare-and-Swap, Lock-free Data Structues, KV Store, Raft, etc) and has been really awesome so far.

> Look, Google has a huge writing culture. Design docs are the norm there.

I don't know what Google they're talking about, but for non-customer-facing code, Google was atrocious for that when I was there.

"Docs? Just read the code," was a VERY common refrain there.

Google was absolutely non-negotiable on the necessity of checking in tests with your code, but missing docs was definitely the norm.
Why did they feel it necessary to have such a role? I mean Gnome is one of the oldest OSS projects, and has been functioning reasonably well in the past 20-some years without it (as a project at least, I mean. I don't want to go into DE-preferences). The post announcing the job opening doesn't make me smarter unfortunately.
When I see that code my head immediately translates to "store a byte with value 0 at memory address zero". 0 the integer needs to be cast to a char * to treat it as a byte address (rather than a word) and the * means "assign to the memory location given by the pointer.

I would probably use something like this when hacking on an Apple II with a zero page.

I have also written programs that ran on VMS which dumped memory starting at '0' without getting any segfaults.
right, and i even explained that node was for single-language simpletons, but he didn't like that either
Nit: AFAIU there is no literal modification of machine code going on—instead the import address table (IAT, the Windows counterpart of Linux’s GOT) is patched (the Windows tradition calls this “detoured”, from the quite popular Microsoft hack[1] that does it).

> The entire notion of any sort of property tax is also predicated on the idea that individual land ownership is a tradeoff between the interest of the individual and society at large.

Indeed, and I like this concept, I don't think we should ever "own" land in the same way as I own, say, my phone. All we ever do is borrow it from society (or even nature).

However, some aspects of land ownership are a net positive for society at large. In particular, the incentive to look after it better if it's really yours until you sell it or you die. With this in mind I like some proposals I've heard whereby unpaid land value tax can be accrued to be paid at death or on sale. That way the stewardship aspect of ownership is reinforced without the freeloading on land value increases.

Returning to the valuation question. I think you're assuming an efficient market when it clearly isn't one. It would be like having to reapply for your own job, except it's rebidding for your own house. Not a kind thing to do to anyone.
Fair enough, I guess our public transport system is pretty good anyway, especially compared to others.

It's worth including the conclusion Feyman makes in his autobiography about that episode:

Options such as?
So that’s regulated by the FAA and I applaud enforcement efforts on that front. A local PD scalping overtime isn’t going to know a class bravo from his asshole so I don’t see the connection. Local PDs don’t have the knowledge or jurisdiction for this stuff.
Back in the day there were no protections. You could write to any address whether it was used by the CPU for interrupt vectors, part of the OS, hardware addresses, anything.

I was part of a conspiracy to commit massive credit card fraud as a minor (thankfully all no longer relevant). I was given AT&T calling card numbers which were pilfered right from the USPS to use to connect to US BBSes to download hacked software.

The Belgian guy I was in with got raided by the police. His hard disks had been hidden behind a brick wall with only the cables visible. They didn't find the hard disks so he got away with it, and I never got arrested or charged.

Good times.
This doesn't necessarily follow. If the splats are coplanar to the surface they are representing then viewing them at an angle wouldn't change how they overlap. But that said, I assume you're right.

It doesn't have to be the NULL macro, which is correctly defined as plain 0.

The literal 0 is treated specially, so this could indeed be one of those 'turns into a weird bit pattern NULL pointers', if such a thing existed in the wild anymore.

But you're correct in that there probably haven't been any since the turn of the century or whenever the last Univac mainframes got turned off.
The universe might not exist objectively, but it gains existence only in our eyes. For example, natural numbers is an abstraction that has no meaning by itself, but each number can be interpreted as a state of the "game of life" and a sequence of numbers - as an evolution of that game. This meaning is a fiction that arises when abstract number are seen thru our consciousness. When the same numbers are seen thru another consciousness, the game of chess is brought into existence. So the universe might be such an abstraction that could be anything, but only when its seen thru a particular consciousness, it appears as the universe we know. Taking this idea further, the entire game of life is still too complex, so smaller consciousnesses filter that complex reality into smaller realities and so on.
Burden of proof is a tragically misapplied concept. The question is what position should be the default given some uncertainty? This isn't decided in a vacuum. The default should be decided based on the facts and utility estimates of various outcomes where relevant. In the case where the issue is of purely academic interest, the burden of proof is on those making the claim. When the issue has real world consequences, then utility estimates of various outcomes are relevant.

Who has the burden to demonstrate that GoF research is safe given our uncertainty of whether COVID was lab created and subsequently leaked? This issue isn't of purely academic interest. We must consider the costs to society of a leak vs the benefits of that research. From where I'm sitting, the benefits are non-existent relative to the costs. Given the massive negative utility of a leak compared to benefits of the research, the burden of proof is on those who want to continue doing GoF research to demonstrate safety and value.
It's of course far more broad: every liberalized, affluent country on the planet has intentionally adopted market based economic systems. Absolutely none of them are Socialist, Fascist, or Communist, and there are no exceptions.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland (to name some of the most popular targets) - none of them are remotely close to being Socialist, and those are the only super nice countries the pro-statist crowd can ever pick from (when declaring that Socialism works). They all rely heavily on market based economic systems, they are all massively loaded with private wealth (typically the most millionaires per capita of anywhere), and the extreme majority of their economies are privately owned and private operated. They are in fact solid demonstrations that market based economies are vastly superior to statist economies.
Paul is "not wrong"[1], but he overlooks that all of this is only the way it is due to a variety of (well guarded) social conventions (as opposed to some immutable nature of reality, as he implies)...but most every defense has holes.

You're not a child but a child is what enables that behavior. I do not have a child nor am I a child. If I am out of the house I am driving, engaged in an activity, or there socially. When I was a kid I had my gameboy and I'd play it nonstop. Then I started driving and having adult responsibilities and all of a sudden I'm not able to do that.

Then again, I wouldn't have gone to the park to watch my infant while I played games. I could do that at my house.
Curious how you chose the name. Seems antithetical to the idea of getting the work done, at least in light of my negative emotional reaction to “flout” which connotes irresponsibility to me.
I do not, but I also don't think regulations would fix the problem. I would rather just move to a new backyard.

Brotli is a much better choice for compressing JavaScript for the web. It’s supported by every browser (and curl I think), and the compression ratio is way better. The only downside is that you probably want to compress once instead of on every request, because brotli compression is slow. Easy enough to set up though.
I especially enjoyed the Pendulum note in v2.
Robbing banks require a lot of smarts too. Say, why do we put bank robbers in jail when they could be smart entrepreneurs instead?

TL;DR brotli does the best — it compresses the JSON down to 21.42kb, which is a 96.6% reduction. That's probably the most bang for the buck. If you take the final binary encoding format from the end of the post, though, brotli crunches it down to 5.99kb — a 99% reduction!
I vaguely recall DI.FM having a similar map circa 2006, complete with descriptions of each genre.
Anything sounds bad if you take sentences out of context. Read the rest of chapter and pages leading up to this part.

He talks about how he struggled getting back into dating after his wife died and initially he tried dating very chivalrously, being kind and buying drinks for ladies. He found that most women would take his free drinks and ditch him.

The lines you quoted from his book are about his mental shift, and after he started doing that it actually worked! He was successful with that tactic, women wanted to sleep with him after he started thinking and acting like that.

He didn't break any laws, force anyone to do anything against their will, or hurt anyone. If that's the case, and the women actually responded to it, then what's wrong with it?

That's why I think everyone is being puritanical about it. Yes our cultural sensibilities don't like it, but nobody was hurt and he's being honest about something that actually worked, why is that bad?
Photos would be a one evening worth trivial task to back up to another system .

Switching your phone from android or changing an email address with hundreds of contacts over many years is far more difficult and expensive.

Google or Apple for that matter can make life difficult for a single person by banding their account , there is not a whole lot an average person can do to mitigate that risk.
No, this puts "shoplifting" on the same level as "employee theft" and "literally just doing a bad job" in terms of losing $100 billion (this is actually a global number) last year. IE, brick and mortar retail reported losing about $35 billion to shoplifting.

Out of $6 TRILLION (Just in the US!) worth of brick and mortar retail sales in the same year, in an industry that claims 2% profit margins on the low ends.

All the fuss over shoplifting is just noise. Consider that the same survey which produced those numbers also showed that a full 16% of ALL merchandise sold in retail is returned, yet we don't have news channels blaring all over that we are in a crisis of unfit products.

It's a narrative, and a bad one, to blame greedy price increases on a STABLE total rate of shrink, one that has been roughly 1.5% for over a DECADE. The cost of shrink has been factored in to the price of goods forever.
Virtue signaling is lazier.
Unfortunately, the skill gap in Go is astronomical.

At my best, I am a 7kyu player. This means that an absolute beginner (roughly 30kyu) has no chance vs me, even with 9 handicap. You need to be reasonably studied at 16kyu level before 9-handicap is fair vs my peak performance. IMO, 16kyu is achievable in a few months of practice and study, but its not something you'll get just casually.

Alas, 7kyu is over 9-stones of handicap away from the top-level 9-dan players. I probably have a shot of beating the #1 player in the world with 9-handicap, but I'm still favored to lose by a decent margin.

----------------

9-handicap is roughly equivalent to letting the opponent move 9 times before even moving once. Its astronomical, far more than a "Queens" advantage in Chess IMO. Yes, the Go handicap system scales extremely well, probably the best handicap system I've ever seen in my life.

But its not quite enough somehow. The depth and complexity to this game is huge.
Thank you so much! I spent a long time on these diagrams haha.

That's just the maximum they use to scare people with. Federal sentencing guidelines aren't that severe and a first time offender with something as mild as using the return address to send a few letters would plead out to a few hundred or thousand dollar fine and maybe probation, say nothing of the fact that the OP was underage.

IANAL but to get 20 years they'd have to commit a massive fraud that ended in some serious damage like costing victims million of dollars with some other mitigating circumstances.
Right, but that's the point - why is legislation moving forward that doesn't address the problem?
