> Yes they actually studied what would make us happier and more proficient at work.

And they utterly failed.

But I'm willing to put up with cubes for the right job. There is no job that would be worth putting up with an open office layout or, worse, hot-desking.

I would think that if companies want people back in the office so badly, they would be willing to do something to make working in the office pleasant and productive. But I guess that's not how they think.
This is constantly brought up as the primary cause, but I think people forget that SUVs and trucks started their expansion in the mid/late 90s, before the modern CAFE regulations. The people demanded bigger and they got bigger.

We had entire news cycles about the size of the Ford Excursion and GM's Hummer 1 back in the day.
FWIW, I noticed that librust-argparse-dev is also packaged for Debian, and it comes without additional dependencies. It also builds fine when pulled from crates.io directly, while using rustc version from Debian repositories, unlike clap. So whether it is crates.io or system repositories, it may be worthwhile to spend more time looking for more lightweight and stable alternatives; most commonly suggested ones are not necessarily that.
Basically. To be clear, it's not that you are worried about getting "the same" heat reflected or otherwise radiated back toward you. (The radiation emitted by your roof doesn't appreciably change the radiation incident on your roof from the atmosphere.) It's that if you are passively emitting at some frequency you are necessarily absorbing at that frequency too (by the 2nd law). And you don't want to be absorbing at the frequency where the atmosphere is opaque and hence warm. In contrast, it's fine to be absorbing at the frequency where the atmosphere is transparent, because then you're just exposed to cold outer space.
Oh wow, there are like 5 different classes of "SUV". This only further complicates conversations around this vehicle class. I drive a VW Tiguan, which appears to fall under the compact SUV.
How long after the abolition of Abolition did the black market for alcohol disappear?
I doubt you would actually do this, but even if you did, I don't see how you could seize the opportunity. Meaning by the time you knew to strike, the car would have to be less than a few feet away, right? Once they pass you, its impossible to hit them. Unless you just wanted to fire on anyone who didn't obey the ped xing (which isn't usually the same thing as a close call).
> With the tv snapping to the new frames practically instantly and then waiting for 50ms with no visible changes, motion blur baked into the movie can no longer hide the judder effectively.

Film projectors would close the shutter while the film moved, and might open the shutter two or three times per frame; I wonder if you'd do well with black frame insertion than some of the modern displays do? Personally, it seemed pretty awful for me on a samsung qled, maybe it's more useful on OLED; but I also dislike motion smoothing, so clearly we have different taste.

I will agree with you that panning shots in 24 fps aren't great. I think there's some rules of thumb for cinematography to reduce audience discomfort, but not everyone follows those.
Yeah, it took an effort to get through spirited away and nausica. I even tried a second watch through of spirited away but at the risk of being blasphemous, I found it boring.
I stopped used Google search two years ago. I switched to DDG and I have never felt the need to switch back. I just want search, I don't need my search engine to anticipate me. I want to type in a query and get results, maybe modify my query and try again. I really feel that Google search has lost its way and it is sad to see, but I guess money talks and search doesn't make them money.

I agree that kids getting access to their parents drugs is a problem (although I don't think that's what the person I was responding to was talking about). It sounds like you might agree that if a parent is using drugs but is still capable of caring for their children, the best thing to do would not be to arrest them but rather to either make sure that they're preventing their kids from getting access to those drugs (by providing them with a safe, for example).

It's unclear what happened to the planned 'forensic evaluation', but somehow there was no further interest in holding attackers responsible.

> Does it really matter who's doing the shelling?

Sure it does. The entire good guys vs bad guys narrative falls apart when your, cough, ally is the one attempting "nuclear blackmail" against you. I for one don't want to help things escalate to the "together into the abyss" stage [2], not for any reason, least of all because someone's intergenerational vendetta went off the rails.

That's a very strong opinion about a project that is at 0.3 and is attending to many simultaneous problems, including building their own UI solution.

It's certainly an issue, especially for non-English users, but it doesn't "disqualify the whole project"; it just means that's not what they're prioritising at this time.
Depends on where you live, really.

I'm near the great lakes, but I don't get lake effect snow. Even so, it's not unlikely for the sky to be cloudy and overcast for weeks around the coldest time of the year.

When we do get a lot of snow, it isn't uncommon for the larger commercial solar installs to just go dormant for awhile. Rooftop is a bit better in that regard, but even so it isn't a question of solar+batteries+electric OR propane. You'd need propane just to keep up overnight to avoid an overwhelming electricity bill.

Places that are farther south and which already rely on resistive heat for emergencies would be much better off going that route over propane.
Which such places, could you be specific about that?

My understanding is the inverse has happened. Where there are now highways through the middle of cities west of the Mississippi, there used to be homes there.

I'm skeptical that US road engineers did anything other than add roads and lanes to improve vehicle throughput. Examples to the contrary would be very interesting.

> Studies show that the length of sentence has little impact on criminal behaviour.

Is the purpose of punishment only to deter criminal behavior? How about expressing social condemnation for the committed criminal act, strengthening citizens' trust in the legal order based on the rule of law, increasing awareness of the danger of committing criminal acts and of the fairness of punishment, and enabling the perpetrator to rejoin the society.

You suggest saying this quote was like echoing Russian propaganda:

"To try to make both sides as equal, as if both are lying to the same extent and there's the same amount of evidence for either side and that we cannot know anything."

I said that's a poisonous perspective to anyone who actually values reasonable discussion and trying to ascertain the truth, because you're effectively saying only your side (ukraine) is right and suggesting anything else is russian propaganda. So again that's why I think your perspective is poisonous.
Ok so that hasn't happened and is clearly not going to happen.

Non-LLM self-driving (some companies are starting to look into them for driving now - https://wayve.ai/thinking/lingo-natural-language-autonomous-...) has multiple vectors (it's not just one system, it's loads of crafted and trained sensors and algorithms working together to plot a path). Improvement is subsequently harder to pin down or ascertain.

Say you massively improve how well your sensor disambiguates objects or signs or whatever on the road, that's very good but it doesn't necessarily result in equivalently better decision making.

This is one system/model and improvement is about as straightforward and guaranteed as you could ever hope for - Train longer, Reduce loss. Since loss trends down to a perfect model of the dataset (i.e a GPT that is fed Chess games doesn't simply care about playing games but modelling the distributions of human chess games and will not suddenly stop improving its prediction capabilities once it can play a valid game), this is all it takes to get a GPT that is better than what it started out as.

GPT-5 will be much better than 4 and the only thing they'll need to do to achieve that is 'Train longer, Reduce Loss'.
Yeah, I made my comment concise but in a real interview I do say something similar.

Advent of Code [1] is coming up soon and its a great way to learn a language. The past years problems are still available and there are a lot of solutions all over reddit, github.

I want to want to use it but have tons of questions would need to research.

Building a professional component lib is a pita. Last I checked there were a billion React component libs and like one OSS Blazor lib in progress. Plus the usual commercial libraries you typically see in the .Net ecosystem.

Accessibility is a pita and aria requires JavaScript. How does this work?

State management in a way that's extendible? I love Mobx but the only thing active is a fluxor lib(yuck). Can other JavaScript code even plug into this?

Extensibility in general. Can new functionality be added via dynamic
loaded plugins?

I would end up needing to interop with a parallel JavaScript(Typescript) codebase. My msbuild foo is pretty strong these days but would be nice to have a straightforward project config accounting for this.

I agree with this take. If anything the lawsuit should be against Apple for selling off its default search engine placement, arguably abusing Apple’s monopoly power to charge exorbitant rates that limit competition.

If the default search engine market needs to be made more competitive, then Apple can’t just be free to sell its default to the highest bidder and should be required by law to make every user choose a search engine.

And even then I expect 90% of users to choose Google. The lawsuit makes no sense!
It's an emergent behavior - internal Google politics and rewards are structured to strongly encourage even otherwise competent people to enshitify.
Formal methods are widely used in processor design. It is hard to formalize specs to assert behaviors that bugs we haven't thought about don't exist. At least hard while also preserving the property of being a Turing machine.
> There is no reason that AI can't be better than humans at requirements elicitation and communication.

Actually there is, one really good reason, even if AI became sentient, it's still a machine, not a human with a soul who can reason and feel passion for a requirement and its solution and implementation.

The funny thing is that way back in the beforetimes (about the 1940s, I think), regular office workers were typically in an open office layout. When cubicles were invented, office workers absolutely loved them because they mitigated a lot of the horrors of an open office layout.

No kidding?
That's how I felt with all other search engines I tried before Kagi. I found myself needing to check google anyway very often, so I'd end up switching back because in most searches I was really just wasting time using the alternate search engine.

Kagi has been the only engine where, since setting as default, the only times I've used google search has been on machines I don't control. I have found it to have most of the widgets I tend to like (unit conversions, calculators etc).
Good point - never really thought about it that way.
What if it was something like crash safety testing, where an outcome (forces on a crash test dummy) is mandated rather than a specific design? You could have something like a visibility requirement (for instance, driver can see the pavement three feet ahead of their front bumper) and then car companies could figure out how to comply with this (lower the height of the vehicle, make a larger windshield, etc).
Oh yeah, as far as I know Elixir has a lot of calling back and forth with Erlang code. So that makes for a super tricky type system problem.

I think the macros make it even harder. Elixir appears to be done almost all with macros -- there are lots of little "compilers" to Erlang/BEAM.

Yeah actually, Quebec is a lot better at building infrastructure and creating bureaucracy than the Anglo provinces. I'm not sure how effective their bureaucracy is though. I don't really know much about the cultural roots of this, but I will say it's sticky enough that immigrants to Anglo areas end up picking up the same attitudes toward taxation even if their families were not originally from an Anglo area/culture.

I also want to emphasize that the tax increases and tort protections that Anglo governments have end up usually costing individuals more than they would under a system that is willing to pay up front for a larger government, but that these costs are hidden in terms of tax garnishes, fees, and other things instead of upfront tax costs.

A couple of casual thoughts to get the ball rolling.

1) This is really cool work. I did note that at this stage the key/only metric involved seems to be Time, unless my quick look missed something. By itself, isolated, I'm sure quite a few conclusions can be drawn from that data, but even moreso, I think that collation with other key data areas such as passenger numbers, traffic intensity data, even things like weather - and I'm sure, plenty of other things I've not thought of - could greatly bolster the data's analytical potential.

2) This is subjective of course - but something feels off (by which I mean, not an entirely neutral presentation of data) to me, about the presentation's critical or punitive framing : things like the celebratory "leader board" of largest delays, complete with gold medal emoji, or the site's name seeming a sort of play on "where's that late bus?!".
> Barely exists in training data.

Irrelevant - this is basic computer science. As far as I know, you can't create a bidirectional graph node structure without a mutable data structure or language magic that ultimately hides the same mutability.

The fact that ChatGPT recognizes the mutability issue when I explain the bug tells you it has the knowledge, but it doesn't correctly infer the right answer and instead makes false claims and sends developers down the wrong path. This speaks to OP's claim about subtle inaccuracies.

I have used ChatGPT to write 10k lines of a static analyzer for a 1k AST model definition in F#, without knowing the language before I started. I'm a big fan, but there were many, many times a less experienced developer would have shot themselves in the foot using it blindly on a project with any degree of complexity.
Is Google' business model going to survive the LLMs ?

I used to use Google quite a bit for coding issues and now I mostly get my answers from ChatGPT premium. And the answers are getting better at least for my questions. Same for cooking recipes ; I hate going to recipe sites as they are poorly written and crawling with distractions; ChatGPT saves me from this ordeal.

> Honest question, Does the DMCA allow hosts to require proof before action?

The DMCA (well, the Safe Harbor provision under discussion, the DMCA has lots of other provisions that are irrelevant to the discussion) doesn't require action in the first place, so it necessasrily allows anything before action.

> If their liability isn't contingent on being provided valid evidence beyond a simple statement, then hosts don't have much of an ability to perform an assessment.

The DMCA doesn't create liability in the first place.
What's wrong with wpa_supplicant.conf and ifup?
It is arguably weird that no-one has successfully taken this approach; _in general_, if you make a thing, and then knowingly make a less safe version of a thing, and it kills someone due to your changes, then, well, you'll want a good lawyer. But cars do seem to be treated as something of a special case; all the responsibility is on the operator, even as the product is made knowingly more dangerous to bystanders.
