The "regulations" resulted in them going to a party and nearly losing their eyesight. It was implied safe, and it wasn't. How is this not absolutely validating to the entire ethos of strawman you are trying to burn here?
Two factors not mentioned are likely behind it, in my opinion

Long Covid took me out of the work force, and according to the CDC, 3.4% had it at the time of the survey.[1] According to Brookings, up to 4 million people are out of the work force because of it.[2]

My strong personal opinion is that teachers got handed a pile of shit when Covid started, their workload went through the roof with remote learning, then mixed learning, etc. Teachers usually spend a large part of their first year sick, one can only imagine that the threat of Covid variants is far worse. Those that could swing it at all have left teaching for good.

On the weekends I now wake up at 5:30 and drive to remote places to take photos during sunrise. I spend a lot of spare time researching lenses and watching videos with tips on things like composition.

I have a variant of the machine he tested (he used the Ryzen/nVidia, I have the Ryzen/Radeon) this in and it’s one of the most dumpster fire things I’ve ever dealt with from a firmware perspective. It’s to the point that the community has developed replacement firmware for it just to make it run properly.

It would not surprise me in the slightest that it’s simply the firmware not playing nice with a chipset it never knew existed.

During my time they removed tea bags and instant coffee from the “kitchen” at the office to cut costs.

They voluntold me to take a Lean Six Sigma course and I ended up working with a senior colleague on interviewing employees on what they spent their days doing so we could “help them be more efficient”.

My god I was so “green”.

Finally I saw the light and got the fuck out and joined a ln up and coming SaaS company and the difference was night and day.
Not LPs, but later stage VCs and private equity. It’s a game of musical chairs, you just need to be early in. And A16Z are experts in this, with all their investments in crypto. Def not great for their rep and I’d never raise from them because of this btw.

That has been my experience too with more complicated scripts/tasks. If it's something beyond basics, GPT seems to be lost in its own dreamscape and never get out of it. Then again, sometimes it produces enough pointers/links to useful docs that I can figure out the rest of the problem. So I presently use it as a slightly kooky search engine which understands the natural language questions pretty well but shouldn't be trusted literally with the results.
Sure, Intel can say these things, but that doesn't mean they can execute. Their history with every non-x86 venture has not been good. They've tried many times and always failed. Of course, with the DOD pouring money on them, they won't have the commercial pressures they had before, but as I said before, being a defense contractor is not a trivial task.
Currently, I'm excited about making music again. Before, I wasn't completely happy with my compositions. My creative process seemed to be driven by the sounds from software and hardware instruments. Now, I started dividing my work into two distinct sessions. One is exclusively for sound crafting and tool preparation, which clears away any technical distractions for the other type of session, where I can dive into composing music with more concentration.
Conspiracy theory but it's pretty funny how CPUs would work for years while GPUs would get (rightfully so) outdated fairly fast.

Now suddenly CPUs do this weird force upgrade with obscure features, and even Microsoft forcing people to upgrade with stuff like TPM that the vast majority do not care about.

Agreed. The difficulty of changing the license is proportional to how many copyright holders there are. To change Linux's license, everyone who ever contributed to it probably needs to agree in writing. In comparison, it is trivial for a single copyright holder to change the license, even the GPL. Anyone contributing should know the risk exists.

Related to the OpenAI announcement, I've been able to generate some preliminary code editing evaluations of the new GPT models. OpenAI is enforcing very low rate limits on the new GPT-4 model. I will update the results as quickly my rate limit allows.

Interesting! I am the exact opposite - I can drink coffee any time, and it doesn't affect my sleep at all. The reverse side of it it that it doesn't wake me up at all either. If I'm sleepy, giving me a cup of coffee is useless. I like the taste of it, but if I want to boost my alertness, I will need something else. I used to drink a lot of caffeinated drinks in my youth, so maybe I developed a tolerance - or maybe it's just my genes.
Don't waste money on books. No new knowledge will be learnt from those.
To provide a counter-example: the startup I was working for switched from python-2.7 to python-3.4 after that came out. It was fine, no major issues. I wrote a whole lot of python2.7 before that, and a whole lot of python3.5 afterwards. I maintained our deployment and local dev scripts, and a couple libraries and tools on pypi, which were compatible with both python3 and python2. It was very doable.

I think one mistake was promoting the "2to3" converter early on. It turned out better to add a couple features to python2.7 and python-3.2/3.3/3.4 which made it quite feasible to write code compatible with both.

It is perhaps ironic that writing code that deals with str/unicode/bytes across both python2 and python3 is a bit more complicated than just python2 - but, again, still doable. I did it for years, many popular libraries did it for years, until recently dropping python2 support. It worked.
Thanks, other than working somewhere longer I'm curious how I could stand out from other candidates?
Progress is going ok - I have a good understanding of the techniques and have started to apply them. A goal is to commit main points from books and concept-schemas I make to memory. Something that's more of a "side project" is using PAO (with a variation on the Dominic system) to memorize numbers. The overhead in making PAOs for 100 numbers is going very slowly. https://artofmemory.com/blog/pao-system/

Braking harder may have also applied maximum braking sooner, or you may have been able to get tread marks on all wheels instead of only some wheels.

Also, as a more experienced driver, I definitely have fewer expectations that other vehicles will stop when they're supposed to. If you had visibility of the vehicle before it blew the stop sign, you may have been able to predict and slow down sooner or take evasive action.
I stand corrected - i only recalled they cancelled their IPO, didn't realize they backdoored via a SPAC.
However, I suspect this will not prevent the car from connecting to tesla. In other words, the car will still request software updates, and I'll bet some local operations will still talk to tesla servers. I would imagine reset to factory settings probably requires your credentials to be verified with tesla by connecting.

Now if I could only turn off the wifi AP my wall connector creates (tesla ev charger in my garage)
If you did X then Y then Z, there's a difference between saying "I did Y, Z, and X" (squashing/summarizing) and "I did Y then Z then X" (rebasing).

Squashing is often dumb and unhelpful, because you're now re-summarizing the points in time that you already considered worth highlighting when they happened (when you had the most context to judge them!).

Rebasing is lying about the order and/or context that those changes happened in.

Your undo log is comparable to squashing, but not at all to rebasing.

And then again, the first-order vs second-order summarizing distinction matters, and you already capture the second-order summary in your merge commit. Squashing is just destroying information for zero practical benefit.

I grew up 10 minutes from Edmund Scientific. They had a retail store that was… amazing. The entrance had a real WW2 submarine periscope that kids played with. I’ll try to explain the Magic of this store, but really can’t do it justice.

The back room sold surplus scientific gadgets and parts, as well as military surplus (some WW2)… none of the back room stuff was in the catalog, so it was extra special to visit their store. You never knew what you’d find, like a WW2-era military oscilloscope for sale. Or surplus giant glass lenses to try to make your own telescope. Or black lights. Or gas masks, giant capacitors, random IC chips or transistors, unknown electronic devices in random boxes or wooden shelves that looked like your dad built them for the garage.

The front room was enormous and displayed everything in the catalog and possibly more. Everything could be touched and manipulated. Expensive items were in glass cases but clerks were happy to let you check them out.

The retail store is gone even though the successor company occupies the same building last I checked.

Any science-minded kid who grew up in South Jersey in the 60s, 70s, or 80s laments their closure, I guarantee that.

> Shareholders can be forced to go in their pockets

no they cannot. Shareholders can only lose at most the capital they put in originally - they cannot be liable for additional debt.

> the owner is not also bankrupt, they can be forced to pay employees.

That would be because the owner mixed their own personal wealth with their business (e.g., as a single entity), instead of a limited liability company. Therefore, any assets the owner has is subject to be sold to pay the debt of the business. It's why only small businesses, owned by a single owner (who would have nothing else) is done this way (cheaper administratively i presume).

Same thing applies. Keeping that amount of money unused means they can't think of anything worthwhile to invest in and earn with.

Much the same sort of thing as when companies spend good money on just buying back shares, instead of using that money on increasing production and sales.
The other comments make it fairly clear that this suspicion was unfounded but convinced people otherwise, and I have given a fair response to your comments. I of course appreciate you scrutinizing the application, and while the feedback was constructive, comments about the brokenness of a security model need to be taken very seriously.

---

From the application perspective, the root of our disagreement seems to be that you would prefer using higher-level managed cryptographic primitives. I understand this criticism, but there were systems reasons why these were not appropriate for sshx. I agree with you that for most standard applications, you would avoid having to use stream ciphers directly as much as possible. sshx kind of straddles the boundary of what's technically feasible with real-time stream multiplexing and communication though.

I'm glad you find the work interesting, it's something I've spent a lot of time on!

It’s a 10th of the cost for probably 10000th of the R&D budget alone. Zyxel devices, especially the firmware are a total joke. It’s consumer grade garbage sold with quasicommercial marketing. And you use this equipment in a security sensitive environment at your own peril.
About four days ago our professor was talking about how easy we have it and how he had to use punched cards to program. I didn't believe him (not knowing the history of punch cards, I thought they were much older than they actually were so in my mine he couldn't have been using them) but just yesterday he brought a pack of them with himself and showed them to us shattering all doubts.
Shouldn't they have double sympathy though. First, for being idiots and second for getting eye damage?

It's probably still fraud. If it seems dishonest to the average person, it will probably seem dishonest to the average judge. The law is more sensible than most people think.

What a perfectly zealous response to that opinion, seems to have touched a nerve lol
You are completely correct, but I think it's worth clarifying one part.

>> they can't meaningfully profit off of them

To be clear that can absolutely profit off the code, as long as they do do under the same license. ("Meaningful" being in the eye of the beholder.)

Implying that you can't "meaningfully profit" from an AGPL license is not technically true (although, of course, finding examples that do is tricky.)
> I took a solid opportunity to work as a technical product manager for a year at a quickly growing crypto project with real utility (I know.. I know..) and largely had a great experience until they ran out of money.

That sounds odd to me. The whole premise of crypto is that you dont need traditional money issued by oppressive goverments.
Once again, security is very tricky to get right, and I'm very transparent about the security model and encryption of the application. I've discussed this at length and have thoroughly documented the code.

The commenter makes factual errors, and stating something is insecure, even on the level of suspicion, is a claim that as software developers, we take very seriously.

In the context of Github PR you can’t leave reviews on commits other than what’s currently the tip commit of the pr branch so structuring this way is just wasted effort.
