I don't think it's purely inflation. A degree shows you can show up to a place for 3-4 years and do something. That's all you need for a lot of jobs so preferring those who have a piece of paper saying they can do that makes some sense.

I live in Europe where university is free or quite cheap so asking young people to do it for a couple years isn't the worst.. it's quite fun. And I say this as someone who dropped out to work in software engineering instead.
I would recommend starting with Spirited Away. It has a bit faster pacing than some of the others, and tons of interesting creatures that really show off the character design prowess. I love Miyazaki and Ghibli films in general, but they do put some people to sleep.
This leads to a tar pit of 'What is AI?' It's fairly clear that none of the current batch of AIs have a sense of awareness. So obviously that isn't the threshold that you are using, How about smart-resize, noise-removal, spell-checking, Upload time estimation?
BMW is also moving from AGL to Android. But they're only using Android as an OS; the user facing UI isn't going to change. And it's not integrated with Google. That's different from Android Automotive / Volvo where the basic UI comes form Google and the stack is full of Google integration. BMW's method of using Android as the underlying OS seems like a reasonable option to me. Not sure what exactly Porsche is doing here.
It’s funny I was just talking to someone about a-b images slots and boots the other day and how they had written this test suite because there were so many potential places where partial updates could be interrupted.

Thousands of test points having to be verified was my understanding. That’s before even getting to the confirmed boot/watchdog aspect.

What a hassle, hope they like spending money on labor because it sounds like they are going to need to.
Re common case, it's typically an accidental thing. Lots of people are standing up things like ham mesh networks and similar but anything internet proximal has a very high likelihood of leaking cypher text over the air.

Re basic case, I should refine my statement a bit, HF is currently populated enough that having more traffic there is probably not advisable yet. If I was given a magic pen, I'd probably allow encryption on the lesser used HF bands and 6m on up.

As far as public service/phones/other services, I don't really buy into the disaster prepper stuff that's been popular as of late, but there's an opportunity for amateur radio to remain relevant. Rather than trying to prevent encryption and keep all that stuff on other ISM type bands, putting some of it under the ham umbrella could be very positive development.
So use Rust. I’m not understanding these complaints.
I fall somewhere on the skeptic side of the LLM spectrum. But this "flaw" just does not seem to have the force that its proponents seem to think it does, unless I'm missing something significant. Simply because in the context of natural language (Rather than formal logical statements), "A is B" does not imply "B is A" in the first place. "Is" can encompass a wide variety of logical relationships in colloquial usage, not just exact identity. "The apple is red" does not imply "red is the apple," as a trivial example.
First principles thinking says, if you remove the fuel and this stops replication while still allowing a host to live, that sounds like it should win outright.

We only carry 3.3-7grams of glucose in the blood stream at one time. This is cycled quite frequently, but in the limit, that's all it takes to sustain and let cancer thrive.

I wanted to see full-screen footage so I looked up a youtube review. The footage coming out of this camera looks so... weird. Almost like it was created by generative AI or something.

Cars not, they go to wash. Those who don't are indeed visibly dusty/moldy.

Wet roofs and other surfaces -- pretty much all the time, especially in humid climates (like Hong Kong, where the research is made). Same for glass windows (we have window-washer job for that reason).

Surfaces can be cleaned with pressure washer, but unlike purely aesthetical reasons, I'm saying that the main feature of this material may stop working in a matter of days due to even minuscule amount of growth.
When will humans be crazy enough to update the firmware of artificial hearts OTA?

Updating cars with new features OTA, even "just" an Infotainment can possibly cost lives, because the driver might get confused and isn't putting eyes on the streets.

It should be forbidden and every change should be made clear to the driver, shown in detail, and should need verification twice before being accepted. There must not be any kind of surprise in a car for the driver.

It should even be possible to skip an update or stop updating at all.
> pretty much every driver going through a suburban neighborhood does prepare for a child to chase a ball into a street

So why do most drivers appear to be much more cautious in a parking lot?

If drivers were truly taking more responsibility for the dangers they create for others, whenever they travel on a street alongside parked cars they would limit themselves to a speed that is at least unlikely to cause a pedestrian fatality (<30km limits are sometimes justified on this basis).

I mean, I get it - it would be incredibly inconvenient for drivers and as a society we have implicitly accepted the consequences of this convenience, but it doesn't abrogate the moral responsibility of drivers in my opinion. Just because everyone else does something doesn't make it morally okay.
Heat naturally flows to the lowest temperature object connected by the lowest thermal-resistance (or highest thermal conductivity).

If you have a radiator at 80C, and a 2nd radiator at 60C and both are connected to HotPlate-X, the heat will naturally find itself going to the 60C, while the 80C will more naturally find its own heat radiating out to the environment quicker.

You don't need a thermal-semiconductor to just have heat flow around. That's just... heat physics.

There seems to be some practical applications for this new "thermal semiconductor". Though the next questions are that of cost, performance, etc. etc.

I worked for a company that did this for awhile - they had custom written clients for all the major sites, just watching tables and recording the hand histories, which they provided as a subscription service. You could absolutely use the data to improve your margins. Think knowing how loose or tight your opponents were over thousands of hands.

> Of course the question is why we ought to believe this as opposed to following our own moral convictions.

You say slavery is bad. I say slavery is fine. You can follow your mortal convictions (and not have slaves), and I'll follow mine (and run a cotton plantation). But the two statements are contradictory, so which of us is following the "correct" one?

Of course this assumes that there is an objective moral code—which begs the question on where it would come from.

> For anything but the smallest lists [6], binary search is much quicker than the linear search above.

> In my experience, binary search becomes faster than linear search after about 8-12 elements

It depends on your data, but CPUs are extremely good at scanning through contiguous vectors. Binary searching might make a difference at tens of thousands of elements.

If you’re using Python then it’s different as nothing is contiguous, or you have a complex equality function, but then a simple improvement is to put the data in a numpy array of dataframe.
You could transmit stuff encrypted with AES as long as you also transmitted your key (and scheme) in plaintext, afaik. So you could use ham radio to experiment with an encrypted scheme that you'd later use with non-ham bands/licenses.
I play poker because it’s fun. I’m decent, I have won a few 100+ NL tournaments in Vegas and finish in the money as often as not. But I’m gambling well within my means, which is different for everyone. I have no idea if I take $1000 from someone if that’s their rent for the month or if it’s budgeted for entertainment.

Gambling is ancient and wired deep in the human psyche. It’s neither morally right nor morally wrong. It is just something we enjoy as a species. I feel bad for people addicted, but I also feel bad for people addicted to alcohol or addicted to reading the news. Everyone needs to moderate their own consumption.
It's a turn of phrase referring to iMessage.

When I moved to New York City, I began talking to people on the bus, subway and while running errands. I met so many interesting people- a man who was originally from the same town as some of my ancestors, many people from my native SoCal and even one I went to elementary school with 3000 miles away. My cousin's wife, a native of the Upper East Side, said real New Yorkers never talk to strangers in public but I am very content being a fake (and apparently more gregarious) local.

A friend always has headphones, often not listening to anything, because she would get constantly harassed or hit on otherwise. She doesn't stand out, ordinary looking, but she suspects that's why.

Although from the article in the Netherlands, I suspect another reason why people use kiosks, is that folks working service jobs might not speak the language fluently, or the person was a tourist. I'm not criticizing anyone, I think it's a nice feature of kiosks.
For poker it's actually negative sum at most venues outside of private games due to the fees taken by the organizer (i.e. the rake). But yes, point taken that at least within the closed system of the game poker is zero/negative sum.

My comment was more directed at the OP's assertion that poker is not 'productive' because it is zero-sum. I personally don't see how injecting corporate sponsors into otherwise zero sum games (only one team in sporting events can win, only one chess player can win the tournament) elevates competitive pursuits outside of poker to what can be considered 'productive'. OP's view could be that all of these pursuits are equally unproductive and that would be fair enough.

The main concern there would be vital information being watered down or skipped over, but that bird flew the coop 500 years ago during the Protestant Reformation when people developed their own theologies and decided what was important for themselves, and then taught others.

Plus, it's not like the Reformation happened out of nowhere. The Catholic Church made lots of mistakes and awful decisions for a long time before people had enough.

I'm Catholic, and my favorite devotion is Divine Mercy. One of the teachings of the devotion (direct from Jesus, according to Sister Faustina) is that what hurts him the most is when people can't accept his mercy after death. They believe their sins are greater than his mercy (which is infinite) and they send themselves to hell as a result.

Jesus wants to be merciful to all, but he also said (Matthew 5:6, Matthew 18:21-35) that those who are merciful are the ones who receive mercy.

So if everyone walked around being merciful and forgiving one another, we'd certainly be a lot better off!

Especially once you throw the Problem of Evil in there ("Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then from whence comes evil?")

But monotheistic religion is so bothered with God being an ultimate moral authority (beyond just being omnipotent) that it must perform some scary mental gymnastics to reconcile this, which usually goes thusly: evil and suffering are part of God's Plan. Evil serves some purpose that will be revealed in heaven or whatever, so its existence can be tolerated (when it would be inconvenient not to).

That's a dangerous place to be. Children slowly dying of cancer, or being murdered in war, for example, can't matter on some ultimate moral level because God allowed it to happen, and anyways they're all happy in heaven now. Any horrifying thing can be handwaved away by religion as not mattering, because otherwise that would mean God messed up.

Religion doesn't have a monopoly on this kind of thinking, either. Political ideology or secular morality can also condone unspeakable things "for the greater good" or because "that's just the way it is". I really think it shouldn't be some bizarre stance that all uncommon suffering is unequivocally bad, but here we are.
You seem to assuming that all of ones teachings must be moral in order for one to be able to be a good moral teacher. But if people are able to pick and choose teachings then this may not be required. As an example, many people would consider the bible to be a good source of moral teaching, but most would admit that it contains some teachings which are outright reprehensible.

If someone needed to be entirely good to be a good moral teacher then almost nobody (if anybody) would qualify.

LinkedIn in some cases imposes penalties for outbound links [0].

Consider that LinkedIn has been trying to establish(/convert) itself in part as a blogging platform, and keeps trying to show you other users' blog posts, unsolicited. But not links to Twitter/X, Substack, Rumble, external blogs etc etc. Even though many LI users' blog-type posts are low-grade, it's near-impossible to get them successfully flagged as spam or self-promotional. Every time LI serve you a link to some other content on-site, and suppress serving you an outbound link (even if it was higher-quality), it presumably increases engagement on LI.

Its dangerous to think that committing crimes and violating rights is ok as long as the other side loses.

Thanks for this. I've been using Binary Ninja, but may have to try out Ghidra. I was surprised how little I found online about it, none of the major vendors seem to have first class support yet.
Many competitive games/sports where you are trading ELO or rankings (chess, RTS, boxing) are like this, but I wouldn't judge it outright as "not productive."

As a C++ dev myself, and lots of past experiences with code archeology, nowadays I wouldn't even bat an eye before reaching for a Docker container of the appropriate system version, where to build an old and unmaintained C or C++ codebase. Otherwise, pain ensues...
