That's probably a good keeping-your-head-low strategy, but I can't help but feel this doesn't treat it as being severe as it is. I don't want academia to overreact about LLMs (they have done this enough already, with the huge number of academic cheating accusations) but AI output that is entirely unchecked doesn't belong in the scientific peer review process.

Those using AI tools in such situations should be expected to remove anything from the LLM's output that they can't verify with their own expertise. Reviewing out of your expertise doesn't necessarily inevitably lead to mistakes, but unchecked AI output will.
Yes — a meaning that fits. Since a finite field is, by definition, finite.

Why would having an entirely neutral name be better? A finite field isn’t a field that is in some sense finite or related to or inspired by finiteness in some mysterious way, it is quite literally finite (in the sense that all mathematicians use the word).

The danger of using existing terms like ‘category’ for new concepts is that they encourage the importation of lots of likely irrelevant associations and intuition that is likely to confuse rather than aid one’s understanding.

I definitely think your argument goes too far if you think the phrase ‘finite field’ is potentially misleading. You might as well demand that the phrase ‘multiples of 5’ be replaced with ‘fluffies’ because it has less meaning.

>In total, bitcoin consumed nearly 1,600 billion litres - also known as gigalitres (GL) - of water in 2021, the study, published in the journal Cell Reports Sustainability, suggests.

It's too bad the study isn't linked, but the math seems a bit fudged to me. Maybe they're using the amount of water per block (144 per day) which records multiple transactions?
For 2021 there were about 250,000-ish[1] daily transactions on BTC, so roughly 91 billion transactions. With 91 billion transactions using 1600 billion liters of water you get about 18 liters of water per transaction instead of the 75,000 or so liters a pool is.

If you assume a 24 x 12 x 4 pool and use blocks instead of transactions, each block uses about as much water as a pool.

Npm already does it at the package registry with ignore/npmignore files, and that's the package authors choice.

I 90% agree with Lecun when he mocks AI doomers.

Sure there is a small amount of risk in future AI, but I believe that AI present and future will give us a better chance of mitigating other existential risks.

I think Lecun may be the force behind Meta releasing useful models for individuals and organizations to use. If that is true, I would like to thank him!
I put in a bunch of Caseta smart switches. They are indistinguishable from normal light switches without any smarts, but if I want to, I can also control them via local network. It's nice to go to bed and turn off the entire house with one button. Lights turn off automatically when we all leave.

The thermostat is an ecobee, which is a pretty polished IoT device but I'm frustrated i couldn't get something _more_ local. It speaks homekit so I can do a number of actions entirely locally, and if the internet is down it still works, but I do wish it were more self-contained. So again, if I sell or get angry at technology and chuck my HomeAssistant Pi out the window, the thermostat will just work as a thermostat.

Likewise, my blinds are motorized--but they have a working remote paired directly to them. It's incredibly convenient to raise the blinds in the morning for some sunshine automatically and close them after sunset, but they'd work perfectly well without a smart home.

If you purchased my house, you probably wouldn't even know to rip out the "smart home" components because they fail over to just being normal components.

It is not particularly hard to make this method of operation happen, although it admittedly requires a budget above "dirt cheap."

I read the 'How does it work?' section and tried a job description and couple of my resumes. I don't fully understand how this tool should be used/or what it is telling me about my resume.

It gives values for keywords from resume (got it)
Then it finds common words between Job Description and Resume
I also see another table of values for the job description

Now what? Do I need to compare the tables? Do the values need to be within certain range?

Right, but this is where it just gets unwieldy.

Are the courts really supposed to mandate that FB provide 4 tiers instead of just 2?

We're already in checkbox hell with the various popups. And the notion of "coupling" is notoriously hard to define in practice.

It's precisely the vagueness around what is and isn't coupling, that I could see the courts going either way. I was really just arguing that it's not clear cut according to the law as written.
Nice, years ago I wrote a TypeScript (originally CoffeeScript re-written to TypeScript) library to generate schedule times for a cron between two time points, should be easy to write a service like this with it.

> IMO with layoffs and RTO these companies have shown us their priority is to manage towards mediocrity and predictable business model over excellence/innovation.

To be clear: that's always been the case.

Large enterprises prioritize predictability over excellence. That's the entire point of bureaucracy: you add a floor a the expense of also having a ceiling.
I've looked into this and they do actually make these. Same size as a normal dishwasher, but has two separate compartments of half the size. I wanna just skip the whole process and have my cabinets clean them though.
> If Google stops linking to news articles, media companies would be the bigger losers than Google would be.

Only on the margin. If all countries in the world simultaneously imposed this law, and google stopped linking all news articles world wide, then Google would be the bigger loser than media companies.

It's important to acknowledge the problem: Google extracts more monetary value from the news industry ecosystem than the the value it creates.

I am not entirely sure if forcing Google to pay that difference is the correct solution, or whether helping evil media companies in this way is the right thing to do, but the problem exists.
Which accident was that? Thanks!
The government has ample ways to get the same data via other means and probably more sophisticated tech. I would imagine they are well beyond this

I also don't do things that would have them watching or worrying about me, so not really concerned personally and only see the upside to the government / military having this capability, with appropriate oversight (which I'm sure many will imply is non-existant)

There is a valid product offering for ISPs, monitoring people for medical emergencies. I suspect this will be how it gets accepted by many people
eff your personal well being but don't take it personally it's just your part of some cohort the elite have dictated must return to the office. you see we've calculated out that we sell the building at a loss of x dollars if we attempt to sell right now, and our other buildings have a couple years left on the lease and can't get out of that, plus we already pumped y dollars into renovations in this building plus we received tax breaks to come to these communities to offer you poor slobs jobs and now the mayors and governors are threatening to take back those tax breaks if we don't get buts in seats soon. Now we now some of you will leave and we've factored that into our calculus. The math says x% will leave which is totally acceptable and way cheaper than breaking leases or pissing off governors and that sort of thing. /sarcasm
The downside is that when it has to be done on a job-by-job basis, you can’t rely on the cron system handling failure modes you didn’t anticipate.
Except that in any size of company, your meetings are going to be conference/video calls (at least for some of the participants) anyway. Fortunately, I'm mostly not but a lot of the people I work with are on video calls most of the day.
Limited memory, poor performance, etc. If you flip these performance improvement announcements they become damning; e.g. a 6x improvement means that they were previously running at less than 1/6th of optimal performance.
A widespread problem I've been wondering about, not specific to Okta...

When an established company -- with something to lose; not a disposable serial startup -- outsources some IT function to a SaaS/PaaS/vendor that exhibits a pattern of problems, and then the company then gets bit by such a problem, how often does the company actually care?

Does the CTO or CISO take a hit? Do the CEO and board even know that it was a bad selection from the start?

Does the company just want to be able to say it was a "partner" who was at fault (even if the company was negligent in trusting that partner)?
There is a lot of that. I have one who in no exaggerated terms needs every good thing to have been their idea and will reframe what their role was in anything that turns out to have been a waste of time/money.

They want, more than anything, approval and recognition - to an embarrassing extent.

It's not fun and I'd have it almost any other way given the choice, but we've achieved a lot despite that and observers so far have been astute enough to see things for what they are.

This sounds like “victim” blaming.

Amazon, like other big companies, hired people during Covid telling them it was a fully remote job. Now these companies are telling the same employees to now come into the office.

Why blame employees here?

I mean I don't work there, I don't know what their corporate strategy is :)

I would suspect it's just developer familiarity - they used to use a language they named 'XC', which was basically C with built-in keyword extensions (like "par" :). These days they've internalized it into a library [1] so it looks just like standard C, but you still have macros like PAR_JOBS...

Would you be mad if your employer forced you to move and revoked remote work?

Because that's exactly what's happening to the thousands of COVID era Amazon employees hired under a full time remote contract.

It's fully within Amazon's rights to change the terms of the contract, just as it is with your employer, but that doesn't mean the people impacted can't complain about it, and it definitely has an effect on reputation for the stability of employment agreements Amazon offers.
Same here, I commute 3 days a week to work in an office alone. There is not a single person I work on a project with in the office. Everyone I work with is distributed from East to West coasts and larger cites in between.
I asked this question. They told me RTO is carbon neutral. They had complicated models but the gist of it was that the efficiency of heating and cooling one office is less carbon than everyone at home doing it for themselves and that people at the office are forced to run errands more efficiently resulting in an equal number of car trips.

They weren’t interested in counter arguments about how with the other people at home the house has to be heated/cooled anyway.
the market is really tightening up. people love to say if you can't find a job it's b/c you're not skilled blah blah but if your making good money it may be hard to find another job at that income level.

I'm not faulting the the scientists here, they aren't the first to do this. I remember seeing similar from a US university research a few years back. This reminded me about the latest wifi-6E(?) that's going to make this easier for ISPs to obtain similar tracking capabilities.

I hate to point out the obvious, but expecting vision and compassion from the guys who make their workers pee in a bottle and work their factory workers to death is like expecting COP28 being hosted by oil sultans to focus on actual climate change policies.

They want you in the office, overworked, overcommuted, no time to think for yourself. They want you tired and in a constant loop. How dare we ask our corporate overlords for their reasons and for data? We are supposed to postpone having a life, free time, friends, family, and spend hours of our days traveling in air polluting metal containers to an office to do work that we can easily do from home. If that demoralizes you, you aren't hustling enough.

Corporations brought to you the great Pacific Garbage Belt, global warming, alcohol and smoking marketing, the opioid crisis, the cost of living crisis, at least one or two wars, and possibly the end of mankind.

We should not be astonished by these greedy amoral husks of humans' lack of vision and compassion. We should hold them accountable for their evil and bring them to down their knees and remind them that without workers, they are nothing.

Given the fact that Iran successfully jury-rigged MIM-23 Hawk SAMs onto their F-14s, it's not out of the realm of possibility that they could do something similar with Exocet.

During the Falklands war there were worries that the Argies were fitting Exocet to LearJets (turns out they were used for recce and communications), and Chile also had a project on the books to convert Falcon biz jets to carry Exocet. And, some say USS Stark was itself attacked by a Falcon carrying Exocets. Grafting missiles onto a warplane that already has hardpoints and the like seems like an easier task.

I think it's perfectly fine to bring it up given how much green washing these companies perpetuate. Amazon paid a boatload of money to rename 'ket arena's to the 'climate pledge arena' after all.

It's relevant to investors too imo because spending a boat load of money to increase goodwill and then ruining the trust your goodwill represents doesn't seem like a wise investment strategy imo.
I just checked my local network website, I started running it in 2021, but havent touched it since mid 2022. I might have checked to see if the computer(raspi4) is on since then, I can't remember why I would have done this, maybe to show a friend.

Somehow not only is the computer still on(How? shouldnt a power outage have turned this off at some point?), but the server still is working perfectly.

I genuinely don't understand, but its recording sound and temp data as we speak. To be fair, I did mess around in 2021 to ensure things were robust since I was working on an Embedded project at the time.
