Their position on a previous name collision involving an overseas trademark sounds like "we are bigger, nobody ever confuses us for you, but we'll be sure to redirect anyone who we notice is looking for your project!"

Not sure what that says about the inverse, but since the post mentions nothing about trademark concerns, I imagine the author isn't too worried now either
I have the same problem.

I would love a tiling manager that allowed you to "full screen" the app into the tile of your choice.

By that, I mean the app would snap to the edges and lose all the chrome that is normal present. So your browser window, for instance, would lose the borders and url bar until you moused to the top of the tile.

I think the problem is not for "art" artists, who will embrace it as they embraced everything, but more for "commissioned" artists, who paint or draw illustrations for money.
Since you avoided the question, I'm guessing I was spot on :)

And I'd guarantee you that someone who worked five years for a average German company definitely has incurred less mental stress than someone working one year for Amazon, on average.

But I also recognize that it's hard to see the difference between the two cultures if you only have the experience of one of them, and the "hard working pays off" system is so heavily ingrained.
You could be on to something there.
It's a bummer that TypeDB [1] doesn't have full datalog-level semantics. If it had, it would be kind of the perfect logic programming system, that behaves like and fits into a modern developer toolchain... as it has most of the other important properties, like:

- Rule-based inference https://typedb.com/docs/home/25-queries#_rule_based_inferenc...

- Ability to infer new data https://typedb.com/docs/home/25-queries#_21_inferring_new_da...

- Rules chaining https://typedb.com/docs/home/25-queries#_rule_chaining

- Inferring with chaining https://typedb.com/docs/home/25-queries#_23_inferring_with_c...

- Relation transitivity https://typedb.com/docs/home/25-queries#_transitivity

... etc.

Yea, there's Datomic, but not being open source, it becomes a no-go for a lot of biomedical applications, because of the close ties with academia and research use cases.

I agree, but this affects far more than PHP. There are a LOT of projects that use environment variables for secret credentials, and it's especially scary because a number of tools love dumping environment variables.

I'd much prefer pulling credentials from a file or pulling down credentials based on properties that the application is oblivious to. There's risks to using files too, but in my experience, environment variables are used a bit more carelessly.

Just playing devil's advocate for a moment (I'm still trying to figure out myself what I think about all that):

When I watch a painting in a gallery and after a few weeks I paint something inspired by what I saw, am I breaking the copyright law?

If I sell such a painting, am I breaking the copyright law?

I guess it also depends on how much the painting is similar. Is it an outright copy? Is it lure plagiarism? Is it just inspired by?

Does it matter whether I paid the museum or bought the book where I saw the picture?

As I have overloaded my rg with a customized rg alias, I can't pipe multiple rg calls.

Otherwise it would look like this:

# rg nokogiri | rg linux

<stdin>:11:Gemfile.lock:647: nokogiri (1.15.5-x86_64-linux)

But that is a me problem.

The workaround is of course just to pipe into grep instead.
Mastering Skills: The 1% Formula
Having been a Navy officer for 20 years active and reserve, one of the other overlooked flaws of the stack rank is that it's a vehicle for cultivating egos. When the only way up is through many levels of being "1 of X, Early Promote," it's fascinating to watch a bright-eyed humble flight student turn into a condescending jerk of an instructor over the years. Turning the performance review system into "winners" and "losers" and telling a subset of people they're the winners tends to break some people's brains.

Because why should they have to listen to anyone who hasn't gotten as good performance reviews as them? Obviously, they care more and those other slackers just couldn't cut it.
I wouldn't go that far. Immediately after Q* leaked, Jimmy Apples pointed to this thread on Twitter : https://twitter.com/polynoamial/status/1676971508911198209

It's Noam Brown's (former Deep Mind) "I'm joining OpenAI" thread from Back in June, and he talks about how he wants to bring some of the work from AlphaGoZero etc into OpenAI's AGI architecture.

It looks like this Q-transformer work shares a lot of the same lineage of what Q* is supposed to be. This is Google's attempt at mushing Q-learning into transformer land, which is probably what Q* is as well. It's not the same thing, for sure, but they are at least sibling bodies of work.

So basically, it's below the "Reliability*Utility" threshold (that's my term for the drastic dropoff in usefulness of a product/service/person when their reliability goes from 100% to 90% or lower) That's too bad. Maybe some unit tests (historically notoriously difficult to implement with GUI's) would help that dev.

Fleshing my concept out on a whim (since I am surprised I can't find another reference to this idea online!) with the help of ChatGPT (yes, it can do this now!), it looks like this equation would capture this concept:

U(r)=Umax ⋅e^(−k(100−r)^n)

where the total perceived Utility of a product/service/trusted person, given r=reliability percent (out of 100), is the maximum Utility times e to the (-k(100-r)^n), where k and n are tweakable based on the given product/service/person but which I want to assign values of 0.03 and 1.5 to, respectively, after plotting it.

I read up until about this point in the book, but frankly I stopped because I lost confidence that KSR had any idea what he was talking about when it came to central banks, and more broadly finance in general.

Maybe someone here can help me understand, what exactly is the point of "carbon quantitative easing" over a straightforward carbon exchange? Maybe the government buying and selling carbon allowances (out of thin air) on the exchange makes this "quantitative easing", but I would avoid implying it's monetary policy when it seems like it's clearly fiscal policy.

Even more confusing to me was how KSR's "carbon coin" plays into all this. It seems like dollars would work fine. Euros if you want. Introducing some new world currency just seems like it's throwing a huge wrench into an already controversial issue.

I think market-driven solutions to climate change are an exciting possibility, but I just didn't understand what he was going for here.
That doesn't sound like he won to me. It sounds like he managed to get a good consolation prize, though.

+1 for rectangle. was using spectacle before.
Even longer ago, there was `glimpse`: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1164 which is still available. [1] glimpse's index-builds are like 10X slower than `qgrep` mentioned elsethread. `qgrep` also seems to have faster search (though I only tried a few patterns) and `qgrep` does not allow spelling errors like `glimpse`.

Neither `glimpse` nor `qgrep`, to my knowledge, directly supports pre-processing / document conversion (like `pdftotext`), though I imagine this would be easy to add to either replicating Desktop Search. (Indirectly, at some space cost, you could always dump conversions into a shadow file hierarchy, index that, and then translate path names.)

>Greece too can have booming economies when the government is raking up debt.

That is not a good example. Greece was growing 5% back in those days and it was growing fast enough to outpace the debt. In fact, most of the debt to GDP explosion happened after the austerity policies, because GDP crashed and debt stayed the same. Greece didn't really have a spending problem either but rather the problem is the rampant tax evasion, i.e. there was a collection problem. Once the arm chair experts of the Troika got their way, Greece went downhill faster than from the original debt crisis.

> To single it out as an error handling problem specifically is flawed.

Sure, product types are the wrong shape for several different problems, not just error handling. Go doesn't have any other shape of user defined types so... too bad you're just stuck with something the wrong shape. Errors are an example where it's more obvious to more people.

Also the machine actually does know about errors, for example the x86-64 architecture defines several kinds of faults, for which provided handlers will be executed, Linux actually deliberately makes it impossible to run such fault handlers after any other way to reboot has proved ineffective, then trips a fault, because it knows an x86 CPU which can't run the fault handlers despite a fault will give up and reboot, which is what Linux was trying to achieve anyway. ARM has error interrupts, POWER has layers of nested error handling.

Why don't the big accounting firms (KPMG) start doing auditing of CO2 along with finance? Either audit the corporations that emit CO2, or audit the "carbon credits" to make sure they're legit? they have decades of experience specifically in sniffing out accounting bullshit, it wouldn't be much of a leap to hire a scientist or two and start auditing molecules?
I feel the same way and would also never work at a FAANG.

That said, I suspect this is would be viewed as a benefit of the process since I'm fairly confident Amazon and the like don't want people who feel this way working for them regardless of the talent of those individual people.

Thanks! I totally agree.

The examples I always think of are Kurt Vonnegut and Raymond Carver.

Vonnegut's experience in WWII heavily impacted his writing and views, and led him to create one of his best works.

Additionally, when I talked to a war veteran about Slaughterhouse Five he said that the time travel was very relatable. When he came home, he felt like he was moving backward and forward in time. Everything at his home was the same, and it was like he never left. It was such an interesting conversation, and something that made me appreciate Vonnegut so much more.

For Carver, I just really enjoyed learning about his life. His work experience, personal relationships, and experience with alcoholism shows up in almost all of his stories. I find it cool to read a story, and draw parallels to his life.

Additionally, my father was a blue collar worker and worked in many different jobs his entire life. I draw so many parallels from the stories he's told me to Raymond Carver's stories.

I really love forming connections like this to the art that I enjoy.
The concern is diverting or otherwise mitigating attention to climate change on impressive-sounding, but ultimately meaningless distractions, all the while flamboyantly bragging about it and bolstering one's self image.
How are someone's christmas lights a "visualization in 3D space?". You realize this is just a sphere model in opengl and doesn't affect anything in the real world right?

I'm gonna be the devils advocate here:

If someone in HR can save a company hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars by removing underperforming workers, and replacing them with better workers, shouldn't that warrant some bonus?

In the same way that if some engineer discovers a bug that is costing the company a lot of money, and fixing it, should also get a bonus?
This is pretty much my exact use of ripgrep, too. I use it as a starting point to zero in on files/projects in a several-hundred repo codebase, and then go from there....
I would think you could apply an inference process like that to a smaller model and get results better than you get with zero-shot on a larger model... And be able to afford to run the smaller model as many times as it takes.

Could someone from the USA explain to me why all this focus on amendments (later additions) to the USA constitution, while the main body of the constitution itself should be much more important?

It always struck me as strange that AirBnB never went in the direction of providing a simple base station with a CO/CO2 detector, noise sensor, Wifi AP (for IoT locks, lights, etc). I know the whole “hardware is hard” thing but you can surely find a vendor already selling something like this that’s most of the way there and can be white labeled.

I suppose on the flip side, rental gig economics is often predicated on the fact that corporate provides as little as legally or even ethically possible.
> Strange! Where I live traffic lights are used for the opposite purpose: they are set up to improve flow by creating green waves that mean ypu don't have to care about orthogonal traffic.

story: An out of state tech visiting our job site greeted us with "What the hell is wrong with the traffic lights in Florida!?" This was SW FL and I was a little confused because he had driven thru one of the most benign counties. I might be conditioned though.

Just north of Tampa is a county where most traffic lights are timed to insure you reach the next one on the yellow. I've traveled thru it regularly for 30 years. Between 20 and 15 years ago it reached ~as bad as possible status and there it remains.

Adding awful to bad are the drivers who've realized they can defeat much of this timing with sufficient speed.

really ? "gpt4 beats our tiny model", that's your paper?
Couldn't you apply the same prompt engineering tricks to the specialized model that their system beats?
You need to consider that Toyota sells a lot less models in Germany when compared to the US, but a lot of those listed like the Rav4 or C-HR got some of the worst scores of all cars, so I don't think that is a good sign.

The ADAC list works by listing how often a model needed roadside assistance per 1000 registered vehicles, so if they didn't need any assistant, they would just appear as a 0.5 or something along those lines, but the Rav4 has a values between 16-20 and even the best performing model, the Toyota Yaris, doesn't have the best scores.
> I am curious why vouch for provenance rather than vouching for quality.

Because the tech community only has ideas that involve solving problems with tech. Provenance is (relatively) easy to address with tech. Measuring quality might require human input, so that's right out.

> What is going on behind the scenes? Almost every team manager wants to keep his team. So they get at least a normal rating to prevent PIP. HR says, kick X% of the workforce. So what do you do now?

Hold on, is this during a layoff? What's this about ratings? Why would you need to kick X% of the workforce? Is the company having money issues? It seems that there are quite a few other things to address before you get to an individual employee's performance.

> Promotion on the other hand is a pyramidal system. 10 promo slots receive 100 applications. How do you decide? Whom does a promo help? In reality, the senior manager pulls the strings. And there can always be creativity in downranking someone or promote someone.

The more I read, this is sounding like a company which is trying to fit itself into some kind of management system they read about in a book, rather than taking an existing system and adjusting it to serve their purposes. Why fire someone if there is nothing bad going on and the company has money? And why promote someone if they have not demonstrated to their manager that they are capable of filling a bigger role?

> 20% of Israelis are Arab? How many Jews are there in Gaza or the West Bank?

Quite a lot in the latter, the Palestinian-administeted part which of which, created by the relaxation of direct Israeli occupation of the entire area, is divided into 165 non-contiguous enclaves separated by Israeli-administered security zones and settlements.

If you mean the PA administrred bantustans, well, yeah, Jews, who are universally given the Right of Return by Israel, don't choose to live there. Not really a surprise.

None of the other options satisfies both of these things. Some satisfy neither.
A lot of the answer here is going to depend on the organization and person.

Coming from a software development background, my sense is that you'll likely have a greater appreciation for the importance of keeping developers focused on writing code and removing as much overhead as possible when it comes to them participating in Scrum events like daily stand-ups, refinement and estimation, and sprint planning.

In my experience, this is where a lot of Scrum Masters get it wrong. Facilitating Scrum in a way that creates more overhead for the dev team isn't likely going to be met with a lot of support from the team, and over time will likely lead to frustration and negative sentiment. Finding that balance is going to be an essential to your success.

For what its worth, I haven't seen a lot of devs personally make this transition, but I think your perspective as a former developer could really help set you up for success in this type of role, and improve the odds your team will be successful with Scrum. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps!
