> So is the labor participation rate over the same time period

Yes, because the denominator for labor force is the population over 16, on the premise that people age into "working age", but never age out of it, a demographic bulge entering the age range at which people both retire if they can, and frequently become unable to work even if they can't afford to retire, drops labor force participation rate when you don't have a similar demographic bulge entering working age.

The prime age labor force participation rate (the LFPR with a denominator based on prime working age having not only an entrance age of 16 but also an exit age of 55) is not low, in fact, its the highest its been any time since the dotcom bubble burst in 2001. So, yes, the low overall LFPR is entirely explained by "we have lots of old people".

The chip, and the engraving, are from 1987.

Clearly, this will be a complete surprise to you, but in 1987 we didn't have google translate and chatgpt to think for us.
Commit and push often. Put a novel explaining yourself in the PR. And that's enough IMO.
WeWork files for bankruptcy after grappling with $2.9B in long-term debt
I'm in the same boat as you. I have been running since the summer and I recently finished a couch to 5km plan. My pace is similar at 35-38 minutes. Do you have any tips on going from 38 to 25 minutes? Thanks
They're made of a distinctively clear quartz glass (used because regular glass is quite effective at blocking UVC), and you can see the filaments at the ends. Hopefully you won't have to ever experience looking at a lit UVC tube, but they appear very different from regular fluorescents.

I was too worried about wasting loot then I finished the game with 20k gold and nothing to spend it on and thought "And nothing of value would have been lost if I had yeeted more people off cliffs."
Does anyone know if the AI granted credit to everyone at the very last minute or everyone except the five people who already had some? Because otherwise, that would be granting them twice within minutes.

It felt like an excellent example of a common sense test. A human would connect the two successive events, get that the first was planned as a fake-out or at least that the second augments the first, and know not to double-grant the lucky winners.

Commit and commit often, but then clean up the history into discrete, readable chunks.

If your PRs are tiny it's not a big deal, but with 190 files changed in this one, it absolutely should have been rebased into a more reasonable commit history.

I mean, I won't even try to rebate you, I agree with you, mostly. lol.

My only fear is that, it's really, really hard to get a safe, performant product without really knowing what you're doing. And although RPi and others do a good job at the prototyping level, it becomes messy very quick.

We're trying to be better, though, there are some nice solutions popping up here and there.
I believe Forth is used quite a bit in the embedded world - or used to be. I read, long ago from the Usenet days, you use it when you don't want to write assembly but C is too "heavy" for your hardware.

Some are speculating that it is a way for them to re-negotiate leases, given what is currently happening with office space rents it could come out stronger.

edit: Also, given that startup investments are way down right now, tech is in a recession and there are recessionary tail winds this is a great way to get out of leases to downsize to a smaller footprint. Either way I don't have their stock or any ties to them and all of this could be wrong, but it is an interesting theory.

>Absurd people ever thought not to compare pay

It's unfortunately because the employee risks being retaliated upon (be it management or peers) instead of peers focusing down on management for better pay. It's also just general financial practice to never flaunt your cash around, so that spreads to the workplace. I'm more than happy to confide in anyone who asks privately, or to anonymously say my salary online. But I don't have much to gain sharing it with immediate co-workers.

The way modern tech companies are (outside of entry level) makes it less reliable anyway. My immediate coworkers in my last two jobs were at least 5 years more experienced than me; I gain less from asking them and they never asked me.
Americans abroad shouldn't pay taxes (since they get basically no benefits) or vote (why should those who live abroad affect the laws they are, largely, not subject to?)

It was pointless. The python core team decided to obsolete every existing line of python code in exchange for basically nothing. On top of it a few features were changed in ways that felt outright vindictive (division, the u'' convention being the ones that affected every single codebase).

This seems like a terrible idea, unless Intel really thinks it can become some kind of defense contractor. Intel has no good history of producing chips, unless those chips are 1) x86 CPUs or 2) support chips for x86 CPUs.

The kinds of chips used in most embedded applications are not x86 CPUs; these days, they're all ARM chips. Intel played around a bit with those 20 years ago with their "StrongARM" line, which they sold off to Marvell. Everything Intel has done to try to diversify away from x86 has been a complete failure.

Finally, being a defense contractor isn't easy; it's not something just any company can do, because of all the security requirements and the difficulty of dealing with the whole contracting process. There's a reason that such companies specialize in that kind of work, and don't usually work in the civilian sector. Boeing is the main exception that comes to mind.

In ed (the one true editor - https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.en.html ), the way to do a command across a range of lines was:

(1,$)g/re/command-list
Global command. The global command makes two passes over the file. On the first pass, all the addressed lines matching a regular expression re are marked. Then, going sequentially from the beginning of the file to the end of the file, the given command-list is executed for each marked line, with the current address set to the address of that line. Any line modified by the command-list is unmarked. The final value of the current address is the value assigned by the last command in the last command-list executed. If there were no matching lines, the current address is unchanged. The execution of command-list stops on the first error.

The command to print is:

(.,.)p
Prints the addressed lines. The current address is set to the address of the last line printed.

And thus, `g/re/p` was the command to print all the lines in a file that matched a regular expression.

grep predates the executable of the same name.

perl, as a "useful than shell for sufficiently large programs" brought with it a large amount of the "how you do things in shell, awk, and sed" - which included grep. To a programmer in 1988, porting their shell script from sh (bash wasn't released for another year) to perl - keeping the same executable names as functions made a lot of sense.

All that said, the keywords and jargon associated with particular programming languages are... well, jargon. It isn't meant to something easily understood but rather for two people who both know the same jargon a way of exchanging information more rapidly within a specific domain.

That 'grep' isn't as understandable today is because the older jargon is less used and the domain has fractured into a multitude of other languages (the jargon of JavaScript programmers is sometimes inscrutable to me as a Java developer).
Ya, unless there's a "price floor" you know is at least satisfactory (to say nothing of optimality or actual worth) that is immediately apparent before you even get to the apply button, thats complete bullshit. Time is money and companies need to stop treating people like theirs is worthless and thus not deserving of being able to zoom! by seeing the going rate immediately and not even having to doll up and go out to meet them tete-a-tete.

Edit: also, on the conjectural side, the fact we need to use words like "optimistically" and "pessimism" or the like/speak in these superlatives is indicative of how hokey all this is. It should be the most natural thing in the world, like a restaurant menu with [gasp] prices, instead there's this Apple culture of secrecy which is compelyely inappropriate for at least a public labour market. It really is bullshit and ripe for harsh regulation taking out the biggest bullshitters and beneficiaries of the current system.
Surely there's a practical concept of "fit for purpose" here? At least in some parts of the law, there's a standard of what a reasonable person expects from a statement, like presenting a hanger or Xbox. A teeny hanger or an Xbox box are not fit for the standard purpose so there is clearly still a scam even if dressed up a little.
That equations needs to weigh how valuable it would be to tell your side of the story in an NYT interview compared to having no comment.
This article doesn’t make sense and self contradicts in a major way:

> especially since Apple doesn’t sell these parts separately

> The parts aren’t being seized because they’re counterfeit. In fact, they’re demonstrably not counterfeit: the only reason an Apple logo is on a piece of a “third-party” component is because that piece is original OEM Apple hardware being legally re-sold:

If Apple doesn’t sell these, then how is this unauthorized repair shop getting parts with original logos? That implies that maybe these parts were not obtained legitimately right? Not necessarily counterfeit but maybe stolen.

That being said, Apple doesn’t do a great job here considering SF streets are flooded with actual counterfeit AirPods and AirPods MAX (like in fully sealed boxes that look exactly like original).
I prefer to have clear commits that tell a tidy story. For example:

* Refactor function `foo` to accept a second parameter

* Add function `bar`

* Use `bar` and `foo` in component `Baz` to implement feature #X

If you give me a commit history like this, I can easily validate that each step in your claimed process does what you describe.

If you instead give me a messy history and ask me to read the diff, you might know that the change to file `Something.ts` on line 125 was conceptually part of the refactor to `foo`, but I'll have to piece that together myself. It's not obvious to the person who didn't write the code what the purpose of any given change was supposed to be.

This isn't a huge deal if your team's process is such that each step above is a PR on its own, but if your PRs are at the coarseness of a full feature, it's helpful to break down the sub-steps into smaller (but sane and readable) diffs.
WeWork, once valued at $47B, files for bankruptcy
Mastodon, and the Fediverse in general, make user interaction decisions on purpose to limit many of the issues common to social media. Think about: mob culture, addiction, and the like.

I wonder if BlueSky intends to follow on those. For example, hiding user actions counts (repeats, favourites, etc...) until the user acts on one.

Things like these may be strange for those accustumed to Twitter, but personally, is what makes me stick with smaller instances on the Fediverse.
A good practice is to rebase your commits before creating a PR into a single commit. You are free to commit as many times as you want to while doing your work. This minimizes the noise in the log.
Same. Do whatever you want in your feature branch, what matters is the Files list and the description in the PR. The whole thing gets squashed into a single commit anyway (which also makes reverting much easier).
If this was the problem, wouldn't the entire industry be having these issues?
The neat thing about IPFS is that the IPFS URL is based on a hash of the file.

So having saved that file offline on my harddrive, I can later re-add it to IPFS.

ipfs add Downloads/1337.png

added QmWjXFUVNjavM4hDzXeQYGXGCXjV86mP7kPEaTeP5bohae 1337.png
140.68 KiB / 140.68 KiB [=============================================] 100.00%

Notice that because I added the same file to my local ipfs, it got the same id as it had when I retrieved it.

QmWjXFUVNjavM4hDzXeQYGXGCXjV86mP7kPEaTeP5bohae

So, IPFS doesn't even require that the file is indefinitely pinned.

And if I have a public node, others can now once again retrieve the file using the same known id.

The person that re-adds it doesn't have to (nor can) specify the id of the file; that's calculated from the hash of it.

(Although, IPFS does also have a way to serve mutable data, so in those cases the id is not calculated directly from just a hash. But in the case of the image we looked at here we see that it was.)

The difference between needing to pin forever and merely needing to have a copy of the same file somewhere outside of IPFS which is then re-added to IPFS and gets the same ID is a fine distinction perhaps, but still an important one IMO.

And I think that even if all of the IPFS nodes that currently have a copy of the Bored Apes would go offline, there is probably someone out there who would notice that and for whatever reason be motivated to make all of the apes available again on IPFS with their same original id's that they had by re-adding the original files.
Unless you’d like to maintain your train of thought.

This will sound patronizing, but I ask this earnestly - how many ML pushers in this space actually drive?

I say this because in my personal tech circle, the guys I know most convinced autonomous cars are around the corner are literally the guys who do not drive. One is an unlicensed and within a decade of retirement, convinced he'll be able to use self driving cars by (early) retirement so he doesn't have to learn.
I'm a donating supporter of the Mathstodon.xyz instance, but (sadly?) most of "math Twitter", at least the education-focused university faculty, ended up on BlueSky. I think there's a strong appeal for "a straight forward Twitter clone without Musk" for a lot of people.
Poverty abolition.

I just finished Poverty, By America. It's really moving and seemingly well-researched and honest.

I feel this. I don't reach the same level of drain after playing compared to work. However, it's such a fun way to use my brain in a similar way, I can be hard to put it down.

I also find it rewarding after getting robotics and memorizing recipes. Which allows me to focus more on designing (I suck so bad at it but it's fun).

After a good few hundred hours I moved on to krastorio2 + space exploration. It's so much more complex.

Oh and multiplayer is a great addition allowing me to asynchronously play with some friends /colleagues.

To Europeans a 6km walk isn't much at all they'd walk 1km or 2km to a store but in the USA or Canada anything over 250m is a drive. So I'd say to people in the US and Canada 6km seems like a hike but to others it's just a very short walk.
Cruise said they shared all the video from the crash with government agencies including the DMV, and the DMV says Cruise didn't because they managed to get an additional video from another government agency. So how could Cruise be hiding the video if another government agency has it? It seems much more likely that Cruise shared everything and there was some mix-up with the California DMV. I've encountered that situation many times. The most egregious example was them fining me for not paying registration fees on a vehicle I had sold over five years earlier.

I know there's nothing that will ever convince you that autonomous vehicles are safe, but please think about what safe autonomous vehicles would look like if they were rolled out. These sorts of stories get tons of eyeballs, so journalists are trying to find any example of an autonomous system harming people. Even better if you can blame tech companies for being negligent or irresponsible. So every single incident, even if it's caused by a psychopath hit-and-run driver, is blamed on the machine. And every detail is exaggerated and misconstrued to make the machine (and the manufacturer) seem as terrible as possible. So the stories simply don't matter. The figure of merit is fatalities per passenger mile. Currently, Cruise's is zero.

Cruise employees are riding in these vehicles, as are their family members. They walk near these vehicles every day. If they actually believed they were unsafe, they'd deploy the vehicles far away from their homes.

This is a feature for Tesla repair - Tesla has always been able to remotely start your car without your keys. Adding in a toggle to disable it is new, and appears to be in the A/B testing stage currently.

I wonder if there was an “incident” we aren’t aware of that prompted this, like the snafu with Tesla employees sharing videos.
This is reasonable, but the problem I encounter is how stifling it seems to ask others to structure their work so specifically. By way of comparison, getting compliance on conventional commit messages is a challenge, and that's an appreciably smaller ask than this.
Nice! I’m starting a project that can automate pressing vinyl records, kinda like a kickstarter, you create a 45 day campaign with the aim of selling 75 pre sales and we then go into production (you need to 100 total). No upfront cost from the artists. Still working on the details.
My friends have opened a vinyl pressing factory so I figured building out an automated indie vinyl pressing crowd sourcing app would be cool. Check out Kushty buck records if your interested. It’s my weekend passion project.
No its not. What ISP are you with?
Isn't it also like Go though where AI changes the game, and once humans adapt there are adversarial methods that AI trained on human players fail to understand?

So AI entering a space changes a space, and humans respond faster to that change.

I think this is an underconsidered part of autonomous cars. As soon as every vehicle in Manhattan is autonomous, people will bully them into sitting idle at green lights while walkers, bikers, scooters and everyone else flagrantly jaywalk in front of them.

With a human on human interaction there is a chance the driver will try to kill you, or you feel guilt at inconveniencing them. With an AI trained to drive safely, the safest thing to do will accept being bullied.

A similar thing will happen in a mixed human & autonomous environment where human drivers will abuse the AI drivers.
