I regret to inform you that you are due for your regular re-watching of The Matrix.

You need to leave a relief valve, an opportunity for the malcontents to go express their need for rebellion in a wholly controllable way. They will then dig their own graves.
>But... not always?

Of course. I'm not saying a simplified model that groups into socio-economic class is the end-all-be-all of measuring privilege. (My first comment said quite the opposite). This borders on bad-faith interpretation.

You claimed class is a misstep in logic. But classification is how we make sense of the world. Case and point: you just classified into "lonely" and "not lonely". Those are two classifications (ie classes) of social orientation. I get that "class" and 'privilege' are loaded words in todays parlance, but it's really just grouping individuals who are alike in some feature. What you seem to be saying is that the term 'wealth' isn't a useful classification feature, not that classification isn't useful.

So back to my original ask to the OP, I said wealth doesn't seem to be the most useful feature and I was asking them what they thought was the best classification scheme.
> turn out to be mostly true

Nope, it was still pseudoscientific at the time, even if it gained scientific evidence later.

Wikipedia is a purveyor of facts, not of judgments, but sometimes the two are inseparable. As long as it's a fact, it's ok if it's implicitly a judgment too.
This situation is really sad.
In my opinion, Taiwan is one of the last really nice and democratic place on earth.
The population is incredibly wonderful with foreign tourists, compared to the Chinese population that is either hostile or trying to abuse or defraud of occasional travelers.
All this stress and money wasted on military stuff just because of megalomaniac old fart dictators in China. Nothing to advance the world and nothing to be won from going on with such a conflict.

In my experience Apple news relies entirely on the app for reading articles, so if you are on a computer without the app or following a link that doesn't auto-redirect to the app then you still hit the paywall.

I'd rather have a system that was just a cross-website web account.
> what does it achieve?

Your business is buying stuff with a stolen credit card, and selling it to punters.

You don't tell the merchant to send it to you, at your home address; you might get picked up! You hire someone you don't know (and who can't identify you) to take delivery of the goods at their address, and ship it on to the punters. When you're reshipper gets picked up, they can't give you away.

You don't have to be located in Russia for this to be useful; US citizens doing CC fraud have exactly the same incentive to use a reshipper, even when both the punter and the reshipper are also US citizens. Krebs seems to focus on Russians, possibly because he has his foot in the door of a number of online Russian crime communities.

They have to. I remember my family paying $2000 CAD for a 15" LCD monitor in the 90s. That monitor was crap, looking back at it, but it was state of the art. Electronics always go down in price over time, the question is how long is the wait.
[and i get downvoted because even though mine is one of a diverse number of opinions, and my history as a good participant of this community mean nothing: opinion is the type of diversity that some people can't allow, here and on wikipedia]

English (language not kingdom) Wikipedia has become a party organ* for whatever they call themselves, those people who took over and ruined philosophy, history, sociology, linguistics, anthropology, et al departments of universities (get rid of dead white males and anything they ever wrote!) to allow only deconstructive, post modernist, existentialist, nihilist, anti-western, socialist, personal truth and lived experience; the same people who are now battering down the gates of science and technology (remember Shut Down Tech day?) because believing there is "the right answer" to a problem is itself problematic, an expression of white privilege. Math should allow many answers depending on the student's truth and lived experience. And they shouldn't have to turn in their work "on time", that oppressive white western male notion. The same people that are marching in the streets to say that mass murder and terrorism are morally justifiable expressions of yearning for a brighter future, alongside a brighter future for women in Islam, just don't be too specific about what you mean, said the Walrus.

This is not my personal original research, the "other" cofounder of wikipedia (along with The Outlaw Jimmy Wales) says the same https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/wikipedia-co-founder-says-site...

Wikipedia btw raises tons of money, they are rolling in cash. Why do they keep begging you for more with interstitials? Because they have a number of woke "diversity", "equity", and "inclusion" projects they are dumping your money into. It has nothing to do with making wikipedia better.

*party organ as in: The Nation, volume 180, number 9, page 173: “Modern armed forces cannot be built without heavy industry,” the People’s Daily, the central organ of the Chinese Communist Party, has remarked pointedly.

Imagine that your watch was jinxed. Every time you looked at it, you would be either either too early to prepare for the next thing you need to do, or already too late. That’s an approximation of what the problem is.
Hmm but even an immutable OS has a strong DRM feel to it for me. Besides offering a bit more security there's a large "hands off under the bonnet" thing about it too.

macOS has it too in the form of SIP and Signed System Volume. But once you turn those things off there's suddenly a lot of content you can no longer access like iOS apps.
Just because something turns out to be true doesn't make it scientific. "Science" isn't a euphemism for correct, and "Pseudoscience" isn't an euphemism for wrong, even if many use them as such. You either followed the scientific process, or you didn't.
> facilitates much better code review discussions

Hmm, I usually mark PR’s as draft until ready for review, and then I expect the discussion to be about the current state, not a previous intermediate state. Easiest with small PR’s.

> enables use of git bisect to locate bugs

Interesting. I know _of_ git bisect, but haven’t used it as part of my workflow. Have you found it useful to bisect commits on a feature branch (which, presumably, represents unfinished work)?

> allows for informative commit messages associated with the changes

I find using the PR title and accompanying info in GitHub or similar to be quite informative - that should convey the purpose of the change.

> communicates clearly to future self about why changes were made

See above. Perhaps we work differently, but I find it clearer to read a git history where each commit represents a single, complete feature/fix/refactor instead of intermediate steps.
What's the advantage of not having any build steps? For me personally, it's an instant turn-off, as I'll never use an untyped library.
It's easy to host your query engine somewhere else and integrate it as a search function in chatGPT. Quite easy to switch providers of search.
Nuplazid, an antipsychotic marketed for Parkinson's, targets the imbalance created by the massive loss of dopermergenic cells.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6007714/

It certainly had a significant impact on a Parkinson's patient I knew (from regular expressions of and involvement with delusional hallucinations to relatively normal, organized behavior).

Of course the loss of cells might be self reinforcing.

An old favorite open graph theory problem:

In your right hand, take any collection of trees with 2, 3, ..., n vertices. These have a total of 1+2+...+n-1 edges, ie, n choose 2.

In your left hand, take the complete graph with n vertices. This, of course, has the same number of edges.

Conjecture: it is always possible to pack/embed the trees into the complete graph in such a way that all edges are matched exactly once.

The problem has been open for like fifty years, lacking a counter-example or a proof. One can assume Erdos thought hard about it at some point...

The quality of the GPT4 content for travel is surprisingly good, although there are of course plenty of hallucinations and I've a new pass for the content set up that gets rid of the worst offenders. This is really just a learning experiment, but building something of this content scale by 1 person was absolutely impossible a year ago.

The point was that content generation use cases might be a viable path give OpenAI's thin-wrappers-killing direction.

Asking the candidate how much they want to make, as annoying as it is, is not the same as asking to see their credit card statements and bank records.
I'm no longer convinced that changing the minds of someone who already believes a fringe theory is generally useful or productive. The big return on investment comes from being honest about the fringe theory's status to people who haven't made up their minds.

In this case, you may not talk someone out of believing in homeopathy, particularly if they've invested a lot of time or money in it. You may have better luck with people who are first hearing about homeopathy, visiting the article, and seeing that it's junk.

I've seen this play out in other subjects, like global warming (there's not a real "both sides"; climate scientists nearly universally believe in it), evolution (almost no biologists believe in Creationism), chiropractic (there's no plausible mechanism of action; studies fail to show that it works for anything beyond some back pain), the "electric universe" (cosmologists universally think it's dumb), and many others. Diehards are gonna diehard. People on the fence can benefit from a solid dose of reality.
It fits the niche of people having to commute by car but not on the highway. Considering it's among the best selling models of EVs in France, obviously that niche exists.

For all the hate: Elon ships. And OpenAI ships.

People claim OpenAI is closed, that they are controlled by Microsoft, that they don't care enough about safety...

But the fact is, Anthropic, Google Brain, even Meta -- OpenAI blows them all out of the water when it comes to shipping new innovations. Just like Twitter ships much more now with Elon, and how SpaceX ships much more than NASA and Blue Origin.

If you disagree, give me just one logical reason why. It's just a fact.

Except that Ghost was using (or still uses? I switched to udpcast since ages) ACKs from the destination hosts to adapt the bandwidth dynamically. So you didn't have to give/impose the bandwidth. The funny part was when a machine in a room with 45 PCs was misbehaving (read: failing HD), basically bringing the transfer rate close to zero for the whole deployment... and good luck finding out which machine it was.
I'm genuinely a bit confused here, you haven't worked with middle-aged and older developers? I don't think I've ever worked anywhere without someone at least in their 40s, including the startup I'm at now. Almost everyone in tech during the dot-com boom is at least middle aged now.
That tweet brings to mind American Republicans being keen on my home country's prime minister Orbán, where the state increasingly controls everything and we have the highest VAT in the world. Must be "those views".
Great tool and example! Makes me wonder, what one can do more with it
"With automation replacing so many blue-collar jobs, and pretty soon white-collar jobs, we may need to consider bigger changes. We should start talking about that now. Things like a shorter work week, or a universal basic income, or guaranteed income — ideas that can spread work around and supplement the incomes of people as they shift to the much-needed work that I mentioned earlier. Work that can't be automated, that a program alone can't do — things like child care, education, health care, and elder care.

Some of these ideas are being tested as we speak. Right here in Chicago, there's a pilot program called 'Chicago Promise' that's been giving thousands of low to moderate income families $500 in cash every month to help them meet basic needs. And it's modeled after a similar program in Stockton, California, and it's showing early promise.

Because the thesis is, you improve financial stability, you improve the well-being of low-income families. They actually can fix a busted car, they don't have electricity turned off, their lives are more stable. It doesn't discourage them from working full-time, it in fact makes it easier for them to go out and find a job and work full-time.

More broadly, one of the bright spots coming out of the pandemic has been evidence that the generous benefits people received during the lockdowns, which is unusual for the United States, may be one of the reasons why the US economy has actually seen an unprecedented increase in new business formation over the past couple years. Because people had a little bit of a cushion to go out and take a risk and try that new idea.

And that's the thing about giving people a safety net and helping them achieve their basic needs. Not only does it relieve hardship, not only does it strengthen our democracy, it can also empower people to be more productive and raise their ambitions, and set an example for their children. And that benefits all of us, and that benefits the economy, and that benefits business."

They are my content, actually, from the last ~15 years of being on the internet. I don't care about it personally, and even if I did it is really obviously fair use so even if I find it objectionable I don't get to actually legally compel someone to stop.
Stanford represents the intersection of the personal arrogance of Silicon Valley and the class arrogance of wealth and power.

I'm not sure it's actually more evil than any other upper-class institution, but that evil manifests itself uniquely through extremely punchable human beings rather than through massive faceless investment firms. In the grand scheme of things, SBF almost certainly does less harm than a lot of defense contractors do, but SBF did it in a way that makes him, personally, the asshole (rather than just a blob of people following economic incentives).
this is really not "malicious compliance" it's just regular old non-compliance. publishing an absurd range doesn't satisfy the requirements of any pay transparency laws.
How long have you been so passionate about Wikipedia and their funding. Also, how much cash is "rolling in cash" by your estimation? Sounds like you think they have too much? Should we limit how much cash one can roll in - is that something you think you might be in to?
What?

There was like 3-4 accounts that we know of. There is absolutely nothing here that that requires more than one person with a few hours of time on their hand each day.

Also their behavior doesn't mesh with being a state actor or organization - why would they throw away their admin account to get a last laugh in an internet argument? Why would their cover be an admin account of bad enough temperament and decision-making that it draws attention to itself and risks getting banned?

This is utter nonsense.

I don’t think this will fly legally in the end even though it is a very common practice.

It seems like there would likely be an LCA violation since there is a prevailing wage for a specific role if the company utilizes foreign labor (for example h1b) … but one is federal and wage transparency laws are state based so dunno how it’ll play out.

The states themselves might be irked by the loophole as well. I think, if a major employer who also hires h1bs does this it would be worth challenging in court. I guess the state att general would bring it vs an individual but maybe a person who is down leveled could as well.

I think the culture in the United States of, cut costs aggressively by firing people, is really shitty when everything in our lives from healthcare to food to housing is utterly dependent on our jobs. If this were not the case, I would be on board with the completely callous way of running a business, but the reality is that we rely on our jobs to give us basic services that are funded publicly in other countries. For that reason, I think it should way way harder to fire people. When you hire someone, you're taking responsibility to take care of that person. Saying things like I'm running a business or this isn't a charity is cute, but it's not the reality. Business people often say their employees are like their families. That ought to go both ways.

We need new laws too guarantee a basic standard of living. Until we have that, there ought to be laws that make firing people, especially without cause, far more difficult. If you anticipate needing to cut costs, either don't hire so many people in thy first place or cut pay.
Thanks for mentioning Gladia, this is not exactly how it works however, our version of Whisper is modified from the original one to avoid hallucinations, we are releasing a new model in a few days that is even better regarding this matter. Also worth mentioning 3 main problems that occurs when it comes to real-time - endpointing, context reinjection (while avoiding hallucinations - which is a main issue with whisper as prompt injection is generating hallucinations like a lot in general), and finally alignment. Timestamps are extremely important in real time if you want to realign with the original streamed audio. Whisper tends to be hard to handle in all these elements.
Good list of best practices. I only miss 'git rebase --preserve-merges' from the text. It is pretty nifty sometimes when you actually want the merges to stay around.

I would still consider it "pseudoscientific", the problem is people assuming "pseudoscientific" means "not just wrong in process, but anything associated with it is inherently false". The core principle of "like treats like" is either falsified or unfalsifiable at this point.
The weird part: Roy Spencer isn't a random climate skeptic. He's one of the scientists at UAH gathering the satellite data that demonstrates the existence of global warming.

He's not just your ordinary idiot. He's a well-educated idiot with expertise in this specific domain. He uses that to affirm what he wants to believe, that even though the climate is clearly warming precisely as you'd expect from doubling atmospheric CO2, somehow it's not actually the CO2 causing the effect.
If a strategy requires humans to be virtuous AND vigilant it is doomed to failure.

I rarely use history and prefer merge/squash, with automated CI tools, and tests. "Why" is kept in doc strings, comments, specs, and story tickets. Everything viewable in gitlab with automatic links. All this gets out of the critical path, every day.

I submit that, if your code is so complex that diagnosing a bug is a major research project rather than moving forward with a few extra/modified lines of obvious fix, then that is the problem to focus on.
