Nah, I'd say your spot on. But if your kid is smart, do you really want them spending 10+ hours every other week on a nonsense sociology essay?

I interviewed for a random postdoc in the USA and then they offered and they asked for drug test and I told them no I have body autonomy and you don't get to decide what I do with my body when I'm not at work. And from the mysterious aether a directive came suddenly that it wasn't required only recommended that I take a drug test.

Is the linked project FOSS? Their FAQ says they'll be announcing pricing soon.

To me it seems like another business attempting to leverage the open source community to bootstrap a product before they monetize it.

what hardware is needed to run this? could a MBP handle it?
See the documentation on making your own "server" (as they call it, I don't know why... I'd call it something like a "channel"). That gives you a semi-private space where only the things you've done show up. Your images still show up in the main stream, I think, but you won't lose your stuff in a flood of other people's stuff.

Discord still kinda sucks, but not nearly as much.
I'm all for giving people agency over their finances for their entire life... but come on... there's got to be some way of asking "did this person really intend to empty their bank account" to that person or a loved one before actually allowing the transaction to succeed. A fraud filter at the bank should see the owners age and know that something is off. Better to be wrong and be an annoying bank instead of mindless like HSBC and allowing this to happen.
Yes I do. I want my kid to learn how to write. That's the whole point lol.

To answer all of these, you need `libicu`, not just a mere UTF-8 decoder. Java also doesn't include full facilities: it's `BreakIterator` is based on an ancient Unicode version.
I'm glad you brought up the calvinism angle. The first book ever written in America which the Europeans took seriously is Johnathan Edward's book 'Freedom of the Will' (which argued there is no such thing.) It was just the next step in an already ages-long battle.

The battle has been translated--along with almost all our explanations of anything--from a theological to a scientific key. But it's the same battle, and is still a theological battle: Scientific results are one thing, but interpreting what those results mean to the human mind is inevitably a hermeneutical, not a scientific, enterprise.
Yeah, it is the only profession where a group of people expect to be paid while actively refusing to pay for the work of others, that actually make their own work possible in first place.
Most of the time it’s like I spend 90% of the time trying to understand context of preexisting application and requirements, that’s purely reading and not writing

Once I start writing, it’s normally straightforward what’s needed. What difference does it make if it takes 10 minutes to write something or 2 minutes to write it? Especially when most nontrivial problems can take several hours to grok

And no, I don’t trust a model to “grok” the code for me, I’d much rather suffer through it. And introducing another tool isn’t worth 8 minutes of time savings to me if those 8 minutes are relatively enjoyable
I thought Flexport was still hiring a month or two ago
I know for a fact there are tech companies that build out separate systems for EU and US data pipelines. It's not really a big deal to have a lawyer look over the data that's being collected and flag stuff as can be collected in Europe, and can be migrated to the USA for processing. Companies generally run EU-specific infrastructure anyway. GDPR is honestly one of the easier aspects of operating in Europe.
are you actually saying that heliocentrism is as good a model as our current model of the universe, and is likely to be an accurate representation of the true reality?

No. We have multiple sources of evidence demonstrating that the earth is not the center of movement for the rest of the universe. If any one of those sources was wrong, it would completely overturn entire areas of physics.

We didn't know what the Earth looked like from space in the past. It wasn't until the mid-to-late 1960s that we knew what it looked like in detail. And that came from direct imaging. Nothing about that was "convention" or relative.

The existence of seasons? I mean, sure, seasons aren't perfectly well-defined things that last 3 months and then turn into the next season. I live in the bay area- late October is "summer" and our winters are wet, with no snow. So, clearly, there is some aspect of convention in deciding on 4 seasons- but you can look at plots of temperature over time, and other metrics, and clearly see that there are variations that correspond to what we call seasons. Not interesting at all to argue about this.

The earth rotating around the sun happens due to the objective laws of physics, not convention. You can do centripital to centrifugal conversions and relative frames of motion all you want, but we have wide range of evidence that the sun does not rotate around the earth.
No, when you are in the fog of war/fundraising, it can be very difficult to decide between 100% let everyone go, verse some other percent where everyone keeps their jobs. Very much depends on the circumstances.

If no one was picking up their calls and it was obvious, then sure.

Not much is really that clear though.

In my tiny case a while back, I wiped my liquid savings to get me employees some time. Can't do that with over a thousand employees though!
Just now I was reading a similar dialog/post by Scancode's founders. This is what he stated that AI assited tooling will rise and I'm now seeing it. This is great!
The Universe Is Telling You Something
»Being one with the universe is thought of as being a peaceful state, but the default state of oneness is being dead. Resting in peace, as they say. A snake eating you alive can teach you this as well as a sage, but nobody wants that. What we really want is the knowledge of death while holding on to our lives.

We want to explore the universe, but not be in the actual explosion. We want to see the vastness of the ocean, but we don’t actually want to fall in. We want to have our separate life and also experience the connection that can only really come from dying. This is the paradox of what we call consciousness. We want to know the real within the delusion, we want to tell the truth with lies.«
Raise the alarm with convincing evidence. Nobody is going to do anything if you don't bring evidence to the table (as you say, makers are woefully unaware of this). If you're just trolling, I highly recommend this defcon talk on how to do it better: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vcAHbvTlpKA

I think we need Community Notes for translations now.

This is a big deal. Curious if vLLM or LMDeploy will use this new backend or not; I know LMDeploy currently has a custom Triton backend.

We've been struggling with various limitations of LMDeploy, vLLM, and ctranslate2 for a fine-tuned llama2 model, so I'm hopeful this is a much better solution.
It’s not that simple: Americans aren’t unusually fat because everyone set out to get that way, but because we have unhealthy lifestyles (sedentary driving is the primary travel mode, we live in car-centric exercise-discouraging housing, our jobs tend to be sedentary but high-stress / long hours, etc.) and heavily subsidize low-quality food, and we price healthcare so much higher than the rest of the world that many people are discouraged from preventative treatment. If you fix any combination of those, obesity rates will go down but you’d have to do some care analysis to say how much of the healthcare expenditure reductions were due to lifestyle improvements rather than weight loss.
Absolutely, not to mention if you ever switch numbers you have to change the signal information. For me, its fine for verification, but I want an identifier I ever have to change.

Lack of polish also extends to some of the things like the TFA mentions, like incomplete SVG export functionality.

Either way, I don't believe that polish and FOSS feature abundance necessarily have to be at odds; it just means that the project in question needs to have a process for developing new features to production-readiness. This can take form in any number of ways, for example using feature flags to keep things that aren't yet fully baked enabled only in beta/alpha builds — people happy with a less polished experience can use betas until the feature they need is ready for primetime while the greater userbase gets a better user experience.
"wasp". IIRC it returned "shahtoot" which is a kind of berry.

I just tried again and it said "shahbaz" which is a name or at best an adjective. The correct translation would be "bher" which Google Translate displays as the "alternative" translation.
OK. I'm not sure if you think I'm claiming that nobody sells or has ever sold prescription pills on the black market, but I'm not (and I didn't).

To put it simply, what I'm saying is that the barriers deliberately put in place to stop your poor friend (not exactly the image of the War on Drugs evil pusher) from making their meagre living didn't stop them but definitely do cause a lot of grief for legitimate users.

> Also, diagnosis is often made on the basis of self-reported symptoms instead of a neuropsychiatric evaluation.

This is nonsense. Diagnosis of ADHD is always based on the symptoms meeting criteria (and ruling out other causes).

> I've seen people get an ADHD diagnosis who probably really had schizoaffective disorder or some other serious psychosis which could possibly be exacerbated by dopamine-boosting drugs.

OK.
Discord only a year ago appeared to be banning people completely randomly to try and boost its new users numbers as it showed interest in IPO. Its taken a while for all the complaints about this to finally reach the point of wanting some transparency, given how atrocious their support is (mostly just a bot) I can't imagine much changes.
Yes, the bet it all on black and see if Lady Luck is on your side hope.

What if they did and lost it all 6 weeks ago? What would that signal instead?
Spillover from my video card's 24GB when doing huge renders in Blender.
I have hardcore ADHD and some very mild dyslexia. It has prevented me from being able to really code my entire life. I've always been able to understand small scripts and that has helped me piece stuff together my entire career. I just always felt like I was hitting a brick wall when I would try and create stuff myself. I could learn it, go through all of the exorcises to successfully complete guided projects, but when it came to coding from scratch I have severe recall issues and can not produce anything to save my life.

ChatGPT has opened up an entirely new world to me. I have (somewhat) successfully created many working applications, including a Flask site that can summarize news articles and websites and also create an audio version of the summarized text. I've created a Flask site that displays system usage for all of my home lab devices. I've written PowerShell and Bash scripts for work and personal use. It's become the workaround I needed for my "disabilities" and amplified my abilities to another level.
> In the coming weeks, Discord is rolling out a sensitive content filter that will be enabled by default and blur sexually explicit content in DMs and in servers

I wonder how this feature will work in servers. Channels can be tagged as "NSFW", and require you to opt into visiting them. Surely they won't blur content in these channels by default? Surely if you're posting sexually explicit content outside of these channels you should delete them instead of blur them.
This is cut off for me.

The article seems to be doing some wordplay. Is it actually translating that one phrase to the terrorist thing? Or is it translating a passage that includes that phrase and is semantically much closer to the terrorist thing?
> without any kind traffic shenanigans, it's not a net neutrality issue?

Yep.

But they do rate-limit people: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/activate-hd-...

If you're on the top plan then you haven't experienced it. The irony is that T-Mobile was one of the ISPs throwing support behind net-neutrality, and now they are one of the most aggressive net discriminators.

Yes, I used it at a summer camp to make games when I was in middle school I think.

I was able to make a 2D platformer with it. Writing the game logic for a small game was not that hard to do in a visual programming language since it was mostly just moving and rotating sprites.
Seems like you have a case of Musk Derangement Syndrome
The key here is that OP has paid for their groceries. Once the transaction completes, the groceries are their property. OP has no obligation to prove to anyone that they own their own property after that (except in the case of Costco and Sam's club, which you of course don't have to prove either, but they will revoke your membership if you don't). In your scenario, you haven't paid for the groceries yet. So they are still the store's property. And they can of course take measures to protect their property while it's still in their possession.

Receipt checking, by definition, always happens after the transaction has completed and the payer has taken possession of the groceries, hence the receipt. So receipt checking is always a practice to verify that your already lawfully purchased groceries match up with what you are removing from the store. This is a practice, while rooted in a perspective that benefits the store, that you have no obligation whatsoever to comply with.

The store, as mentioned above, has no obligation to let you back into the store (they can ban you), but they also have no right to detain you and force you to prove that you own your belongings as you are leaving either. And a store is not going to ban someone unless they are completely sure they have stolen something. So in practice there is really no issue with telling receipt checkers to pound sand for trying to verify my lawfully purchased groceries. I usually don't, because it feels standoffish for no reason sometimes, and you risk encountering someone that doesn't fully understand the law correctly. But if I have a good reason, as mentioned above, I will definitely tell them to pound sand.

I realize now rereading the thread how these two scenarios became conflated, because OP responded to the "before purchase" scenario that you provided with an "after purchase" scenario. So we are really talking about two different scenarios here.
I really hope this eventually leads to a situation where an adversary cant forcibly de-link you from your signal account by taking control of your phone number or intercepting an sms.
That is a poor summary.
Probably to fix that would need legislation specific to start-ups.

I would hope most employees know that is a significant risk of working at a startup?!

But yes, harsh, regardless of how predictable.
Yeah, our whole goal with Arguflow was to help make developing tools like this fast and easy for people. It is really exciting to see that start to come together to some extent :) .
Single Pair Ethernet Anyone?
Does anyone know of products one could purchase to make some experiments with the technology as a hobbyist? My goal would be to exchange data at moderate to low speed (10Mbps or less) between small boards using the usual network stack but much simpler connectors and wires. Nothing professional or expensive, just the bare minimum to get started at hobbyist level.

Context: https://www.lapp.com/en/nl/products/properties-technologies/technologies/single-pair-ethernet/e/000211
The plug part is still detachable, and at least previously you'd receive both a long cord with Schuko to attach there and a short plug with just two prongs. I guess the two prong thing is standard now?
Yes. Lots of jobs require drug tests. Used to be more common.

Many jobs give you lots of warning. So it isn’t so much “are you doing drugs” as “can you stop doing drugs.”
Good? Humanity is on a path to further reality breaks unless something changes, and stuff like people believing "Instagram Face" is normal because of automatic digital makeup is just one example of how attitudes can change and affect everything.

I remember being taught "don't believe everything you read" but that doesn't seem to be how people approach the internet anymore. The world got way crazier once the internet could affect day to day reality.
I’ve been using chatgpt 3.5 for a few weeks now. Absolutely amazing for me.

I am a full stack dev and I know what is possible but may not remember syntax. I just tell chatgpt what code I need and it spits out an example.

It helps with emails too and writing.

I don’t copy paste generally though.

It has not been very good for me for errors though. Google searching stackoveflow is generally better for me.
Betteridge aside, the subtitle here doesn't appear in TFA. Is it just editorializing?
First, the article specifically says they do not know how the seaweed was prepared, so I'm not sure where the "eating it raw" is coming from.

Second, we also still eat seaweed, as many other comments here point out (most of the comments are from the British Isles, so I'll add one that is also available in the Netherlands, where I'm from: salicorna, or "zeekraal"). I'd also like to note that I have never heard of any dish involving sea urchins. I'm sure they exist in the cuisine that you are familiar with, but I'm just mentioning this to point out that you do not speak for the culture of the entire European continent.

With that in mind, I find it rather odd to conclude that it is more likely that the measured seaweed molecules in teeth of ancient humans came from sea urchin stomachs than from seaweed directly. It does not pass Ockham's Razor.

The article reads to me like Microsoft either didn't think it was worth the high price, or that they couldn't sell the price tag to shareholders. And that contrary to just being an Apple thing, they also didn't want to pay Samsung, undercutting the idea that this is just a matter of Apple and Google being too cozy.

I get the impression Microsoft doesn't believe its own argument that all you need to do is write a check.
POSIX only guarantees write atomicity for pipes and FIFOs, not for regular files.
> There is no Legal Aid for cases like these. Charities or (in this case) relatives

That's the part that could be fixed. If we manage to provide legal assistance to every criminal defendant who can't afford it, we could provide a consumer advocate for people in her situation, backed up with a lawyer when necessary. They wouldn't have to do much; their attention and their ability to bring legal resources to bear would motivate the bank to do what they are obligated to do.
Probably patents mostly, perhaps around some novel hardware the buyer wants to utilize.
It’s insane we live in a world where you can buy a 96 core CPU! I feel like it wasn’t too long ago that i was getting excited by building a quad core gaming PC.

Thanks for the kind words. The demo is currently limited to OpenAI models (namely gpt-4, but it is currently pinned to gpt-3.5-turbo)

Their point is that brokers are generally terrible. That you found an ok one is cool. We went through a broker for moving our possessions from California to Montana. Worst professional experience of our lives. They kept our shit at some lot for around six weeks while they tried to job out to other freight providers because the first one didn't work out. Or the next. Or the next. Finally they got someone who should have been on medical disability to drive our stuff up after the broker declared bankruptcy. Not sure how that worked exactly. I had to threaten to drive down there to pick up my own shit and load it into a uhaul or two.
"While this is a step in the right direction, let's be real: it hardly solves the problem of robotaxis interfering with emergency vehicles. Asking a police officer, firefighter, or EMT to sit in the driver's seat and take control of a vehicle during an emergency is a Band-Aid fix."

That was my first thought as well. That feels like it would take way too much time in an emergency. I suppose it's better than nothing?

I have no idea what an actual solution would be though. Some kind of remote control / kill switch thingy? Everything I can think of seems kind of half baked at best.
It's the wrong question. What matters is only identity verification, including using all information available as you suggest.

But once this has been satisfactorily verified what the person does with their money is none of the bank's concern.
Polishing is expensive, and while you're doing it you're falling further behind on feature parity.

The fact is that OSS simply can not compete with multi-billion dollar companies with enormous staffs that give away their server time for $0. There aren't enough human hours to go around.

Figma has ~1000 employees last I checked, and Adobe has nearly 30k. Orders of magnitude larger than most OSS projects.

So a lot of the time in OSS you end up choosing the work that keeps people interested (because often you don't have the money to do so). Developers want to build new features, and designers have next to no interest doing free work for OSS.
