1950s Cigarette Psychology: 9 Ways of Holding Your Cigarette and Their Meaning
I had a bug hunt as part of an interview once (or, I should say, once that I remember). It was different from that proposal in that the code was not part of the company's actual codebase - it was entirely fabricated for the test. It was fun, though; I enjoyed that more than livecoding and live-whiteboarding.
You obviously have an issue with nightclubs.

Let's extend your logic - should a gas station convenience store also carry that bond? I mean, you can buy a box of beer at the gas station and go home and be violent.
Hmm, good point! However, I would argue that such nudges are toward overall peace with a neighbor, rather than total civilation subjugation like with the Borg.
"Middle management" gets a bad rap I think, I moved from big company middle management positions to startup founding teams and back my entire career. More senior managers in big companies typically lacked operational chops.
It is most certainly in sequence: Clarification of the 5+1 volumes and a link to the content for free right now - albeit nearly unusable quality scan - instead of a "backorder only" link to buy for $30.

This "you might be a bot" is going to be the next Red Scare or witch hunt (that the esteemed AI revolutionaries will deny any responsibility for). Just wait till the real bots learn to start saying that! [spiderman pointing gif]
He used to go to strip clubs with his sketch pad and draw the strippers. It was an effective ice breaker and relationships with the strippers outside the club are inferred.

Feynman was a successful, charismatic man with insatiable curiosities about many things. He may have caused women to do things they later regretted, but it's unlikely he forced anyone against their will.
> They're the same level, they should earn the same.

No, they shouldn't. They should earn exactly as much as they can get their employer to pay them. I've worked hard in my career, I've negotiated hard for pay at new jobs, raises, bonuses, promotions, etc. Some people don't. If I'm not going to be able to negotiate my pay, by definition I'm going to be making less. Why in the world would I want that?
That's silly. A NOT gate will change state when stimulated by a logic signal. Neither the signal nor the gate have "free will" in any meaningful sense but it happens anyways.

Arguably, you're disproving your own point by eliciting a reaction that's not rational according to someone's belief system.
This is a random tip/thought but it is pretty straightforward to export a 3D model as a .glb file and use it in a ThreeJS embed. The lighting/camera rotation angles might need work though to look right.

I have exported stuff out of SketchUp and brought it into a webpage.
Adding on - there’s no level it becomes more safe. Senior folks get increasingly vulnerable - as comp increases, so do expected results.

Project Aya is a multi-institution collaborative project to accelerate multi-lingual AI and make sure diverse languages are properly represented in this wave of large language models. The first release is targeting 101 languages.

I'm one of the contributor to the project and all data and model will be open-sourced.

We're looking for more contributors across many languages! It’s quite easy to contribute. No knowledge of ML/AI required. And you can make a big difference for the languages you’re fluent in!

More details about the project also at: https://txt.cohere.com/aya-multilingual/
I've tried out the game and it was a lot of fun. It would be even more fun if there was a built in way for multiple people to play simultaneously where everyone could chat about the decisions and then when everyone has made their choice, then everyone moves on to the next step in the game. Perhaps you could integrate the game with some sort of already existing chat service.
Many of the hard costs in veterinary medicine are exactly the same as human doctors. Rent is rent, stitches are stitches. Most of the supply chain is the same. So when they open a bag of saline, put in a line, gown up, open a pack of sutures, etc. those costs are exactly the same as a human doctor. Their ultrasound machine comes from the same factory as the one one at your obgyn. Equipping a surgical suite is an expensive thing.
Goatse, like Michelangelo's David, should be an exception to normal rules of censorship, due to its status as part of our shared cultural heritage. /s

So if the author fix a small typo in the post, they break all the links to it. The blog is not "stateless", it’s just that its state is stored in the homepage. Having all posts on that page with anchor links would achieve the same thing with shorter links that don’t depend on the content.
You’re right. That was a poor choice of words on my part. My point was that it was obvious SAAB cars (neé SAAB Weapon Systems) wasn’t a viable business and the last few years were extremely drawn out and full of drama.
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
This is an absurd argument because it inconsistently moves the value of giving credit outside of the realm of determinism. Since everything is determined then the concept of credit would become meaningless. It is not meaningless because it exists within the subjective world created from determinism.

Just like you can't say a criminal is not guilty of a crime without free will, because the concept of crime exists within the same subjective context as the experience of the criminal choosing to commit a crime. Choice and will still exist, they are just not "Free" in the sense of being determined by something outside of physics and its resulting emergent systems.

It would be like arguing that a waterfall does not exist and is not beautiful because if you look closely enough at it all you see are numbers representing the states of molecules and velocities.

Meaning does not require "free will", and the very concept of a will being "Free" is absurd since a resulting choice is either completely random (And thus not really anyone's will) or is determined by prior states and circumstances (the things that make you you) and is thus not really "Free".
Theoretically, sure. Though if you went that route, ultimately you might just be ruling over a pile of ashes no?

Practically, how do you propose acquiring that power, or having anyone to rule over, that would not leave you vulnerable to all those other things I listed?

As in, whatever power you have being used to serve someone elses interests instead of your own, or even be used to destroy you. Or your own basic needs being sabotaged behind your back to murder you.

There is a reason why dictators and kings tend to have somewhat predictable endings, and it's rarely 'passing away peacefully in their sleep at a ripe old age'.
I'll note that France has a slight variant on that, where it's assumed that any identifiable marker of the ballot could reveal a voter's identity, bad in case of blackmail like "vote for X, and show it by having a stripe at at the top, or I [do bad things to family], I'll be checking the ballots").

To avoid this, no markers, but all possible votes are pieces of paper with printed text, grab N>2, go in the booth, put in one in an envelope.

This way your vote and any other vote look identical, and vote is voided in case of any identifying mark (even weirdly bent paper etc).
No stamp needed, just number of votes/envelopes.
Maybe you just need to find something you enjoy doing, programming might not be "it"?

Or do you do well solving the problems on your own and just have trouble when being interviewed?
Right, and the books mention how the Culture is a bit long in the tooth to Sublime, seeing other younger civs speed-run toward this extradimensional afterlife.
Once, out of the kindness of my foolish heart, I ran a server with a
lot of great sound effects for all and sundry to download.

Why don't we just no longer have opensource. We can also shut down the wikipedia. Lets also shut down google. Otherwise China might use these things. Why not just nuke Bay Area, NY and LA. Then we can make sure China can't profit from the people there. All universities should be closed, those people might produce research that China can read.
Yamaha unveils new self-balancing electric motorcycle without handlebars
This is great news. LVT is the best. In the current economic and political climate I think it is probably our best chance for a major policy improvement. Both the left and the right and economists in general are in favor of it because it increases productivity and disincentivizes speculation.
When ARIN transacts for addresses, by policy, it's based on documented need. Typically, documents prepared by the applicant are accepted, but IIRC, ARIN reserves the right to ask for more. ARIN may also approve addresses based on projected use and later ask for documents showing deployment.

If the need was made up to procure addresses for sale, that's fraud. If ARIN asks for deployment documentation and it's not provided, there could be lots of reasons, but if the applicant never intended to deploy and doesn't want to make up more documents, that points towards fraud at the initial application.

A New Take on Modeling and Simulation for Improved Autonomy
You can generate very interesting music simply by working with MIDI as opposed to sampled audio (slashing complexity by orders of magnitude!) and starting from a good model architecture. Daniel D. Johnson's (formerly known as Hexahedria, hired by Google Brain) model biaxial-rnn-music-composition is from 2015, requires very few resources for training or inference, and still delivers compelling, SOTA-or-close results wrt. improvising ("noodling") classical piano.

Never heard of the bloody ploughman, but its neat.
from wiki: "The story is that a gamekeeper shot dead a ploughman caught stealing apples from the Megginch Estate. When his body was returned to his wife, she found stolen apples in his pockets and threw them onto a rubbish heap. One of the resulting seedlings bore apples of a deep, blood red. This tree gave rise to the cultivar that was named after the unfortunate ploughman."
Every corporate worker should read and reread “The Gervais Principle” until enlightenment.

tl;dr middle management stays with the company until collapse (give or take a few unfortunate incidents), long outliving their (and company’s) usefulness.
Consider: what is it exactly that makes parents want to stop their children from bearing witness to swearing?

I can't imagine that it's that they think children can be be damaged in some way by knowing how to curse.

I imagine it's more that children will think these words are fun new toys and will constantly repeat them, enjoying how much of a reaction they provoke. And that the parent 1. will feel sad that the child now has this verbal crutch that they may end up leaning into in the future in place of learning how to speak eloquently; and 2. will feel ashamed when others in the community see the child swearing, and assume that it's a behavior that the parent inculcated into them by swearing constantly in front of them, rather than a behavior the parent tried their best to prevent — but which the child inevitably picked up somewhere outside the home.

There's probably something analogous here, right? Being exposed to "graphic imagery" is not really damaging per se. Rather, seeing such things just shifts a child's potential repertoire of behaviors/responses slightly (think: being desensitized enough to such imagery to find it funny to use to troll others in a school computer lab), in a way that might be assumed by others to have been a direct consequence of the parent's actions (e.g. by having sex / watching porn in front of their children.) Such behaviors by the child will reflect badly on the parent's parenting, even if they were actually purely the result of the child's self-motivated idle curiosity.

In short, these things — a child swearing, a child sending pictures of gross buttholes to other children — are conflationary triggers for community shaming of the parents: they cause behaviors in children that could well have been caused by bad parenting, and so tar the parents with the brush of being bad parents, whether or not the parent is actually bad.

Parents don't tend to like being shamed by the community for bad parenting, when they don't believe themselves to be bad parents; so they treat any such "conflationary triggers" for that shaming, as taboos, things to avoid their children witnessing, even if those things aren't "damaging."

- Top bar is no longer hidden behind nav bar (usually). However, the bottom is cut off because of it. I didn’t even notice it at first, but everything below “Light mode” isn’t visible. It seems like it is fixed if I can scroll in such away that Safari hides the nav bar, but it’s finicky in allowing me to scroll far enough, or scroll on the correct frame, to cause Safari to hide the nav bar. I was able to get it stuck in a state where the top bar was hidden again and I couldn’t scroll to get it back. Refreshing the page made the top bar visible again.

- Pull to Refresh doesn’t work consistently. I can do pull to refresh if I can scroll in such a way the nav bar is hidden, but I can’t get the nav bar to hide itself consistently. I’m not a front end dev, so I’m not sure how much work it would be to fix the rendering of the window. It’s not as big of a deal to me since the top bar (the bar with `Scalar | Register | Sign In` etc.) is now visible.

Here’s a screencap of the first two items: https://file.io/uNQBUTmTTKul (Link will expire after 1 week). Sorry I couldn’t get an example of the top bar getting hidden or pull to refresh working. It was really difficult to reproduce.

- Being able to collapse the `Getting Started`/`Swagger Editor` frame would be nice (or to be able to control whether the viewer on the right is an additional tab next to the editor frame or it’s own distinct pane next to it), but that’s just personal preference. It would be helpful as someone who was consuming someone else’s API to isolate the features/content I need and hide those I don’t.
That’s not the argument being made there.

At a high level, the argument is that free will is an illusion that is highly constrained by your environment. In fact, your own example of punching him in the face only serves to support their case. You’re not free to randomly punch people in the face in most places on earth.
Kubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur Released
Hard disagree when it comes to any ancient text. For example, many of the oldest cuneiform tablets are simply accounting and receipts. They give a direct insight into what was considered valuable enough to keep track of back then. Likewise, marginalia and even doodles tell us a great deal about what some individuals were thinking about.

This is as interesting to me as any form of literature.
There are probably about 30 or so leetcode problems and then endless variations made for those 30 problems. The best people on leetcode practice and memorize.

If you want to see an example of a new problem check out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37910297. You'd think if leetcode makes you good at solving problems then it should be doable any higher ranking leetcode programmer.

No, it smells like a claim of racism. But claims of various 'isms is so common now it's lost all meaning.

I'm more interested in why the focus is seen to be on corrupt cops, and not on the fact that the damn city required it!

If you've got a corrupt city, is it any wonder that the cops are going to be corrupt too? You can't fix the cops without first fixing their paymasters.
