This too is my experience.

I grew up in a place with a large number of religious organizations and outcome of this is what I would consider abuse in a huge number of cases. Would the children themselves think so at the time, kinda hard when you're taught "spare the rod, spoil the child" and "Of course the Earth is only 6000 years old" daily.

My wife works remotely as an accountant. We have Starlink as it’s the best internet available in our area, and we used to have an unlimited hotspot as well for other reasons. We’re very close to a cell tower.

Her company requires her to have some form of wired internet. So, instead of paying for the Starlink or the hotspot they’re paying for 25/1 mbps DSL that never actually reaches those speeds. The Starlink and hotspot both are/were closer to 200/10.

We never use the DSL, apart from the very occasional heavy thunderstorm.

Sometimes what companies think you require doesn’t match up with reality.
I actually had a discussion regarding this topic with a peer of mine that at the time was doing art-studies . She was extremely angry and devastated that in her field weren't enough jobs available for every one that mayored in it. That was a real complaint, for her the state should step in and guarantee a well-paid job for everybody in the exact field that everyone chooses, Like "I want to be a painter" and the day after they give you a place to work on your paintings
Similar to how California made a law that prohibited charging for access to public restrooms. The intention was free public restrooms for everyone but the result was that most of the public restrooms closed up and it’s harder than ever to find somewhere to go.

I am a fan of Penn and Teller. Despite not being into magic in any way, and not someone who generally cares about what's on TV, I watch their current show when I can.

They are about as "real deal" as you can get, despite the schtick. Street magicians from the start to their own theatre in Vegas, and still consistent and creative. At this point it is likely they don't do it because they have to, they do it because they still want to. With the new show being trying to have them unravel someone's trick, with the odds stacked greatly against the magician, it's pretty obvious they've almost "seen it all".

It also gave me a glimpse on how secretive the magician community is. Since people earn a living selling required gimmicks or instructions on how to perform specific tricks, it is completely unacceptable to discuss how things are done. For the really puzzling ones on the show, if you go online to try to find the answers, you'll often find others asking the same thing, and the accompanying wall of silence. Even more so on forums dedicated specifically to magicians. You're likely to find a large discussion, usually with links to the official store for the trick, and zero answers. To do that would be breaking the magician's code, and apparently, you don't break the code.
How are they scummy? The M3 vs. M2 performance improvements they showed looked pretty modest.

My interpretation while watching the event is that this is a company persuading x86 holdouts to upgrade to Apple Silicon, and maybe some M1 users as well.

> How do you break down the segments/sections? Is it just fixed time? What happens if there are more than one topic discussed in the segment?

Currently it's just a dumb fixed time rule, based on max video length (3 or 5mn segments). I played around a bit and it's the easiest way to implement things that works remarkably well. If there are multiple topics, there a few branching paths in the code, but a lot of it comes down to believing in the LLM's ability to make sense of it. I've got some ideas to improve, but would need a bunch of work to implement well.

> Are you using both chatgpt and mistral? Do you use them for different tasks?

There's a degree of A/B testing (well, "A/B testing", since we're not collecting feedback) where some of the summaries are GPT, some of them are mistral, mixed together for the same video. Mistral being superbly fast means it's also really useful to support the branching coding logic (e.g. something I'm working on right now is having an entirely different summarisation style if a video is about sports, and while a logistic regression would do that pretty well, it's not particularly robust, and won't tell me what sport it is if the transcript is full of typo) or to clean up the video transcripts.

There's an adjustment needed. I have worked for and applied to healthcare startups that want you to BYO device. For working on PHI. In Production.

We're not "all in this together". We all know that equity is worth nothing until proven otherwise.

Merci! It's early on but I'm quite happy with how the first prototype turned out.
Yeah, but the rest of us don't want that because we have to pick up the slack in taxes. Personally, I would prefer if I just didn't pay any income taxes. That way, I would save a few hundred thousand and my employer could pay me a hundred thousand less and I'd come out ahead.

They should simply split cross play into two groups:

1. Those with controllers

2. Those with kb/m or those 'emulating' kb/m

That's it. That's all that'd be needed to be fair.
How is it the other way? The relationship of a believer to God is similar to that of a fan to, say, Taylor Swift. In both cases, the follower imagines a personal relationship that doesn't exist. The only substantial difference is that behind Taylor Swift's fictional public persona there is an actual human being (which is mostly irrelevant to the parasocial relationship).

> Because insurances can use DNA knowledge as a justification for charging you more

In America they cannot. This is forbidden by law.

These (and other examples) are of the same category: Computers should obey the user's commands, not ignore the user, and not try to second guess the user. Computers felt a lot more reliable (and a lot more fun) when they were essentially REPLs: Read a command from the user, start a process, execute the command, print the results, end the process, and repeat. Now, they're running hundreds of processes doing god knows what, trying to do things that you don't want them to do, nagging/notifying you constantly, suggesting this and nudging that. It's gone from something that executes the user's commands to something that commands the user.

> 1988: NASA said, A gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover all Indian ocean nations in the next 30 years. The maldives will have its drinking water supplies dry up by 1992.

When I search this I don't get a link to a prediction by NASA. Can you please cite your sources? And preferably their sources? I can see a possibility of cherry-picked quotes from the most pessimistic end of a range of scenarios and predictions. I can also see the possibility of someone maliciously attributing the prediction of another to NASA in order to smear NASA.

As an aside, I'll remind you that in the story the wolf ultimately did come, and the herd and boy were both lost.
I can, but it's not straightforward so I'll have to do so this evening or tomorrow morning when I have a keyboard. Check back for a separate comment.

Edit: An example of a person who could have actually done this 'for real' was Kim Jung Gi. Until I get back, go take a look at his work, the line-only pen drawings in particular (or one-color brush pen stuff) and compare it to how Rodriguez's stuff looks. KJG has a 'decisiveness' of line[0] that comes from clarity of 'drawing thought'. Rodriguez has mark-making[0] that is consistent with a novice painstakingly copying a photo.

[0] 'mark making' is an umbrella term for the quality of the marks that make up a drawing/painting, separate from whatever they depict.

One way to look at your choice is to ask which path will expose you to the most new ideas.

If you're already proficient in one or more procedural programming languages then certainly Rust training will fine-tune your skills. OTOH if you have no procedural programming skills then Rust (or C et al) would be a good place to start if you want to learn to program.

To study machine learning is a completely different endeavor that (gracefully) begins with high-school level math (algebra, matrices, linear algebra) and ends at a research frontier where, to all appearances, no one fully understands what they're doing, but are convinced it works! And since demand is endless, "there's gold in them thar hills!"

I vote for ML but take your time and don't get lost searching for gold in the hills. Maybe look for side-opportunities as did Levi Strauss:

I only went back enough to look at the Musk nonsense. So I guess I should have worded “the highs in the several months leading up to twitter were around $45, but twitter tanked and was still trending down at $16 when musk started attempting to manipulate the market”.

We aren’t talking about when musk first purchased shares. We’re talking about when twitter was trading at $16 when musk attempted to then manipulate the stock market by stating he’d buy twitter, which shot twitter back up.

This seems hard to work out (I guess I should read the bill first, but), for example if someone has a stay-at-home house or some roommates, kids, etc, does the company have to work out the incremental cost of heating the house for one additional person?

Does the company get some input as to what the thermostat should be set to?

If you are a renter with included utilities, do they pay the landlord instead?

If you are living in a van, do they pay for your oil changes and parking tickets? Ok, I guess this last one is kinda silly.
Rather than "finished software" (which I consider to be impractical), I'm a fan of "converging software" - it has a clear goal, concept, direction. The large features are already there, they're being just refined. The software increasingly makes only small changes - fixing bugs, refining existing features, then refining those refinements.

TeX would be one such example which reflects its converging nature in its versioning scheme. But I think it applies to a lot of other software - e.g. basic GNU utilities like grep, awk etc. are like that.
You should be opposed to this California law then, because it is codifying that these are required business expenses and eligible for exactly this treatment.
Agreed. But doing that invities new entrants into the market, which provodes competition and forces efficiencies back into the market. It is cyclical, and barriers to entry tend to help the inefficient incumbent.
The "correct compensation" IMO is simply a negotiated fee for the temporary rent of the home office, negotiating if the worker just provide walls or a complete office ready to work.

If he/she provide just the walls it's up to the employer provide and get back the rest. If it's already fully operational it's up to the employee keep it up and running.

For the IT part, it's up to the company IT choosing a fully managed or partially managed setup, case by case.

This might sound complex and long, but it's the way to avoid problems on both sides and a way to mitigate on both sides the "quick&easy" change that allow employers to drop employees as objects, and employees to treat employers like stakeholders in a consulting setup witch is by far the main friction point in full remote work.

Talking about exotic TLDs:

An overlooked aspect is that some of them may be way slower to resolve on DNS level:

That would be true except the types of companies hiring a lot of remote workers already have a lot of remote workers in California.

California has the luxury of being able to do whatever it wants and companies not really having much of a choice to say - we'll just skip the California market.

It's a bigger market than Germany & Japan.

This would go over less well if a state like Mississippi tried it.
Neither do the rich.

It’s wild that this whole piece is based on one response on one question in a poll.

The income bracket breakdown on that question is 22%/23%/32%. Which is significant but isn’t “they’re all top hat wearing elites just trying to impress each other”. “Defund the police” isn’t even the majority opinion of that income bracket.

This whole article is just an attempt to smear liberals. Even if you care about making the case that defund the police is a “luxury” to advance their social standing, then simply pointing to a slightly higher level of support in a higher income bracket is quite frankly stupid.

(As an aside, I don’t think they get the history of dueling right, either.)
This is just not the case. In many states it's nearly completely unregulated, and the home school lobby is working diligently to strip even those regulations.

Would email providers pay for it at all? I suspect it'd be easier to take money from the would-be spammers than to get mail providers to do a bunch of extra work and then pay you for the privilege just so that your clients can send messages that look like spam a little easier.

I suppose that really you'd be able to get a lot of utility by convincing just a handful of very popular email providers (gmail) to trust that your service will never be used to send spam (or that they should let spammers who slip by you right past all of their spam filters). The more email providers you can get to use your service though the more you could charge the mass mailers for guaranteed message delivery.

Such a service could lead to two very bad outcomes though. Parents being told that if they want to get email from the school they'd better sign up for an email account at one of the few supported email providers (gmail) and/or (if it becomes successful) any sender who isn't paying for the privilege of sending email being treated like a spammer.
> I wouldn't say that isolation and realism are completely orthogonal

Neither would I. I'm arguing that when you write a test method, you deliberately make the choice to include some kind of 'before-all' method, or not.

The reasons you would choose to include a 'before-all' method will vary from case to case. Let's say you're testing an addUser method. If you choose to isolate its state to avoid 'test flakiness', it is you making the call that addUser is flaky when run against shared state.

What is it about your application code that would make you think that addUser is flaky enough to need a clean slate to run against? Why not change the application code instead?
Of course Windows would integrate libarchive into the GUI, while Linux GUI applications still popen CLI archiver tools. This is a pet peeve of mine, but now it's just a bit sad. The majority of the work is done and it's open source, but... I don't think I've seen anyone integrating it.
To be fair, if they are going to do that they should pay for transportation costs of in-office workers too.
And deductible for the individual is different from the company can buy this and claim it as an expense without having to also account it as salary to the employee.

The pay you get is an expense to the company, and if the company buys and maintains uniforms, likely that is also, but it is not counted as part of your salary even if you get to take the uniforms home.

And self-employment makes it all even more complicated.

> Do you think the majority of the people who say defund the police believe that?

You made the following claim:

>> This isn't what defund the police was about at all and is just a strawman to stop inquisitions into the actual point of the defund the police movement.

I was merely providing an example, published in a paper of record in the U.S., that claims to speak for a "we", to show that indeed the spokespeople for the movement are unambiguous in what "defund" means. The article says "we mean" not "I mean".

> Just because a minority of people have a terrible opinion doesn't mean the entire movement does.

Certainly, intransigent minorities tend to drive movements and protests. https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict...
