Privacy is an excellent example. At first it was locally dealt with, and big tech would lobby the individual countries for all kinds of exceptions and ways to effectively get regulatory capture. Then, in 1995 the EU created the DPD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Directive

Big tech and the advertising industry responded by sidestepping the new regulation to make deals with the individual countries to undermine it, and actually managed to get close to getting their way, and possibly to get it repealed completely.

But the EU responded with the GDPR.

And now big tech is again lobbying and pressuring member states for exemptions, for example, Facebook:

This is just venue shopping, can't get what you want in one place then you just fragment it and try to get multiple smaller deals. So I totally expect a similar thing to happen around this subject, the stakes are just too high for them to ignore the whole EU for their games.

So with regards to FTX these were listed in the same spreadsheet as "Gifts", and there were some, but we're still talking low five figures for the majority of politicians.

If you think about it, the secret sauce tends to be in the data they're able to capture and input into the recommendation algorithms rather than the recommendation algorithm itself.

I mean, even Tiktok has papers detailing their recommendation algorithm [1]. So does Youtube and plenty of others.

It's all in the data now a days.

Fair, but the implications and chances of a communal flair up are high after what happened to the Nepali migrant workers in Israel. I'm sure the Nepali Govt doesn't want a repeat of 2004.

Mix that with the rise of Hindutva, a bad economy, and divisive discourse across the border for the 2024 elections and things can probably get ugly if precautions aren't taken.

Shutting down TikTok is a small price to pay to prevent actual communal violence.
Why do threads about TikTok _always_ have posts with whataboutism regarding Instagram and other social network apps? It's a pattern I started noticing.

The chillers are a lot more than $4 million, more like billions, they are huge and located on shore or offshore at the point of loading:

LNG is almost all methane which is the lightest hydrocarbon. Methane is so light a gas that it does not liquefy even under thousands of PSI of compression. And at room temperature it only practically exists in a gas form, pressurized or not, so in that case it needs to be handled like oxygen or nitrogen, other light gases where the heavy-walled steel storage cylinders weigh more than the contents even at maximum pressure.

You just can't get that many kilos of such light molecules into a certain space as a compressed gas compared to how dense a liquid gets.

So they liquefy the gas instead before transport and that requires cryogenics rather than pressure. The chilled liquid can then be stored or transported in tanks of much thinner-walled steel since gas pressure is not a major issue. These low-pressure tanks are thickly insulated with lightweight materials to keep in the cold as much as possible.

And unlike the heavy-walled things like the welders use for their pressurized oxygen, cryogenics are handled like the tanks of liquid oxygen, where you can't completely close the cryogenic storage tanks or pressure would build up beyond the bursting point of their relatively thin-walled construction. The cryogenic tanks are constantly hissing as they release excess gas for this reason.

Since no insulation is perfect, the cargo does pick up heat gradually and this causes a certain amount of steady boiloff. Rather than physically becoming warmer, the cargo self-refrigerates by evaporation.

Basically they are loading metric shiploads of really cold LNG and it just slowly evaporates as they go. The cargo temperature is kept constant by self-refrigeration where the condenser is the plant on shore and the evaporator is the ship on its way at sea.

Coding mainly in C for 20 years, I've never had a program break on minor version of system shared library conflict. Occasionally need to recompile on OS version update when the major version increments.
Another very obvious thing it does when it comes to code is take the most common misconceptions & anti-patterns used within the programming community & repeats them in an environment where there's no-one to comment. People have critiqued Stack Overflow for having so many "wrong" answers with green checkmarks, but at least those threads have surrounding context & discussion.

A case in point: I asked ChatGPT to give me some code for password complexity validation. It gave me perfectly working code that took a password and validated it against X metrics. Obviously the metrics are garbage, but the code works, and what inexperienced developer would be any the wiser. The only way to get ChatGPT to generate something "correct" there would be to tell it algorithmically what you want (e.g. "give me a function measuring information entropy of inputs", etc.) - you could ask it 50 times for a password validator: every one may execute successfully & produce a desired UI output for a web designer, but be effectively nonsense.

Although you can take GCSEs at any age, they are typically taken when you are 16. After that, you have a number of options:

1. continue to A/AS-level taking 1 to 2 years, and then optionally onto collage or university;

2. do apprentiships or traineeship that take 1 to 5 years;

3. part-time employment and education/training.

From http://www.gov.uk/child-employment:

1. children aged 13+ can perform part-time work except in television, theatre, and modelling;

2. from age 16 to 18 (if not in education) you must spend 20 hours working or volunteering;

3. from age 18 you are elligible for full-time work.

Therefore, it is perfectly valid for the 17 year old to be working as a driver and the BBC is trying to incite outrage against food delivery apps with this.

I even built earlier zig compiler on zero1 because zig has no official 32bit arm release. I don't recall any significant wifi dropout with mosh.

Another work around is connect zero to a usb port of your computer/ipad/iphone and enable usb gadget on zero. Then you have a ethernet connect between zero and host that is more reliable than wifi?

What makes it more lightning-fast than, say, XBPS (Void Linux) or pacman (Arch Linux)? I would say that package managers are mainly disk I/O bound.

How is it highly secure in comparison to other package managers, and in what way are they not highly secure?

Are there any operating systems or Linux distributions using this package manager by default? Are there any non-personal motivations for the project?

Thanks for clarifying, this makes sense to me. Previously, I considered creators as someone making original content(could be informative, documentary, educational, news, art, music etc.), but I see that the term is now considered a much broader scope. May be am just stuck in stone-age.

> Managing dependencies is downright painful.

The risk when it is too easy is that you suddenly pull half of the Internet into your project. In C++, the cost of having a dependency makes me choose carefully if I want a dependency or not, and if I do, if I want this particular dependency (Who develops it? Is it maintained? If it stops being maintained, can I easily move to an alternative, or could I take over maintenance? ...).

> About the best option we found was to treat everything as build from source and then git submodule our dependencies in.

If you mean having a git submodule and doing something like `add_subdirectory(dependencyA)` in CMake, please don't do that. Building from source is fine, but then you can totally install the dependency locally and have your build system (be it CMake, Meson, ...) fetch it. At least I started doing it the way it is described here [1] and it works well for me.

Reposting my comment above - you only need the OP’s words and some reasonable logic to arrive at that conclusion:

These people tell me HR knows it but everyone is afraid of getting sued or something so it's a don't ask don't tell situation. People simply ignored him.

This doesn’t require soft skills to logic out that there is reasonable trouble.

Coworkers, with a preexisting work history with this employee, know that HR is afraid of getting sued.

Why would an HR department be afraid of being sued by an employee?

The most likely explanation is that they want to fire them for performance and are trying to limit the likelihood of a lawsuit.

Why would a coworker be able to speak to HR’s internal assessment of an employee’s ability to be fired?

The most likely explanation is that they’ve gone to HR, or a manager, with problems, and the manager has asked HR if they could fire the employee for cause before.

“People simply ignored him” is more ambiguous, but in the context above, I take it to mean - other coworkers want him fired, but given HR’s inaction, they are taking their own action by ignoring the coworker and working around them rather than trying to include them.

Even more than that, its article 7 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights so its baked into the foundation of the EU itself via the Treaty of Lisbon (which is why its unsurprising this law failed to pass the EU parliament). Even if somehow this law did get passed the parliament the EU's courts should have struck it down.
I think they were talking about the camera work and editing more than the shot itself. It's a fantastic piece of work if you look at it closely. Starting with a close up shot of the ball, slowly zooming out to show you the predicament while seamlessly transitioning to a pan of an anxious Tiger surveying the ground. Cut to sweeping shots of the beautiful scenery around and timing the pan perfectly to stop at Tiger as he readies to play the shot while bringing the flag post in view at the other end preparing the viewer to bring their full attention to the shot.

There's a lot more that goes into that piece end to end. The more you watch it, the more you tend to appreciate and marvel at the fact that it was all done live. It was probably just another round of play and day in the office for the production team, but when you shoot sports at the highest level, you better be prepared when you get that once in a career shot.
> I think LLMs dramatically impact that initial learning curve. I love the idea that many more people will be able to learn basic programming - I think every human being deserves to be able to use computers to automate tedious repetitive tasks in their lives.

This honestly made me feel so happy. I'm reminded of the average person who is bound by the limitations of the apps they use, the popularity of "How to Automate Using Python" books...

With this new tech, people are no longer bound by that limitation. I think that's pretty cool.
ChatGPT goes from zero to maybe 65th percentile? There or thereabouts. It's excellent if you know nothing. It's mediocre and super buggy if you're an expert.

A big difference is that the expert asks different questions, off in the tails of the distribution, and that's where these LLMs are no good. If you want a canonical example of something, the median pattern, it's great. As the ask heads out of the input data distribution the generalization ability is weak. Generative AI is good at interpolation and translation, it is not good with novelty.

(Expert and know-nothing context dependent here.)

One example: I use ChatGPT frequently to create Ruby scripts for this and that in personal projects. Frequently they need to call out other tools. ChatGPT 4 consistently fails to properly (and safely!) quote arguments. It loves the single-argument version of system which uses the shell. When you ask it to consider quoting arguments, it starts inserting escaped quotes, which is still unsafe (what if the interpolated variable contains a quote in its name). If you keep pushing, it might pull out Shell.escape or whatever it is.

I assume it reproduces the basic bugs that the median example code on the internet does. And 99% of everything being crap, that stuff is pretty low quality, only to be used as an inspiration or a clue as to how to approach something.

> Sorry that your unupgradable software comes from an era where security was not important.

TenFourFox[1] continues to be maintained through community effort, and receives regular security fixes/backports. The problem is not software (although the project desperately lacks manpower), but the 20yro single-core CPU that literally sweats to push the crypto (let alone the CSS&JS).

Don't get me wrong. The relentless push for TLS is good, and I'm not arguing to take a step back - that would be insane. The change I'm asking for is, rather than doing [2] in your nginx.conf, do [3]. It doesn't change anything at all for modern browsers (when you hit that path, you're already at the mercy of an intercepting proxy), but makes your site more accessible for my ancient junk ;)

> Normal cargo + crates.io usage has the same property via the existence of lockfiles. For most people that care about stability, this will provide a natural delay (which you can also see in crates.io download graphs) to consuming the latest version.

Be aware however that lock files are ignored by default. You need to specify "--locked" if you want Cargo to use the "locked" versions from Cargo.lock.

Yes, true, it is harder and will cost more and it will take more time. But I'm pretty sure that they'll try. You can expect the same for the DSA, which is a major thorn in the side of the advertising industry.
A very useful application of LLMs is language learning. As soon as one can speak/listen with them (there are already hacks allowing that), you don't need any language teachers anymore.
The EU needs to stop it with all this heavy handed regulation. At the end of the day it only hurts businesses. Businesses rely on the data contained within these communications in order to improve their services. This is why US tech companies are growing while EU equivalents are not.
