One problem though, humanities and social/behavioral science still dominate the overall enrollment. STEM enrollment although increasing recently, still has relatively been constant through the years. You could argue more people are going towards business majors, but business majors end up having to take those courses anyway. That still should not explain the difference in rigor when it comes to STEM vs humanities/social/behavioral sciences.

I'm sure they aren't all clearing $500 a day, but that's what... the equivalent of a $130k/year salary? That's better than a lot of US-based web developer roles, let alone in the rest of the world.
You only like it now because salaries haven't adjusted to the fact that the pool of candidates who can do you job goes up considerably if you are full-time remote. Long-term, wages will stagnate as opportunities in non-USA countries open up. There is no reason for your company to pay you a USA salary if you are full-time remote. And they won't, eventually.
> My experience with this is anecdotal, but I've ran into many bugs due to conversion between day-precision values and Date objects. One example was a date picker library that returned values at 00:00 in the local timezone instead of UTC, which were then not correctly converted to UTC-based values before being persisted.

Oh man, that sounds ugly, and an invitation for disaster. Lots of off-by-ones.

In my project's case, I also need to do math with them for analytical purposes. It's a game collection manager, so it's tracking the day you bought, beat, and 100%d a game.

I derive how long it took to beat a game by subtracting the UNIX timestamp of the purchase date from the beaten date's timestamp, then divide by (60*60*24) to measure days. It's handy to show games in the backlog and sort by purchase date, too, so you can target the games that've been sitting the longest. There are plans to graph out a collection in terms of its path from new to beaten to completed in a Gantt-style chart or something else fun.

But yeah, I just thought to ask because in JSON I and others can read `2023-12-01`, but not `1701417600`. SQLite and Python can do conversions for the calculations, and Python even has the timedelta module that might make my comparisons easier to do or slightly more accurate.

> The gov. was 100% responsible for his death

Not if you believe in personal accountability. He made a choice, he faced the consequences; he made a choice again, he faced those consequences. If I kill a man and am given a very long sentence, then kill myself to avoid the wait, it's not the government's fault I died.

"Using a bare-bones overlapping generations model, we examine an occupation facing obsolescence. We show that workers must be compensated to enter the occupation–receiving what we dub obsolescence rents–with fewer and older workers remaining in the occupation. We investigate the market for teamsters at the dawn of the automotive truck as an á propos parallel to truckers themselves, as self-driving trucks crest the horizon. As widespread adoption of trucks drew nearer, the number of teamsters fell, the occupation became ‘grayer’, and teamster wages rose, as predicted by the model." [1]

Maybe the best point for a popular audience:

> For alpinists, the public’s fascination with the highest mountains is a bit like judging an ocean swimmer by how deep the water is. Marvell has had similar queries from well-meaning acquaintances: How high is Jannu? “That’s not really the point,” he said.

So you got stuff like Mt. Whitney in California, where you can walk to the top, and it's the highest point in the lower 48. Then you've got the same mountain but this route: https://gripped.com/news/new-13-pitch-5-13-on-mount-whitney/ which is dramatically more difficult. For climbers it's all about the route and max elevation is less important.
I think it’s highly possible, even likely. But as a society it will be a struggle to adapt to these sorts of fundamental shift of assumptions of how things are “supposed to be.”
How could you ever regain credibility after you de-platformed a US President and many of his supporters? If that’s not election interference I don’t know what is.

I'm looking for a full time Senior Software Engineer role, either as a team lead or an individual contributor. I can work fully remotely in the UK timezone, or come in to an office in the UK a couple times a month.

I have 20+ years of software development experience working with a variety of industries and technologies. I've led teams and mentored engineers. I've filed patents. I've taken a startup to a successful exit. I've founded my own bootstrapped startup. Imagine what I could do for you!

Honestly, good for these women who figured out a legal, safe way to profit from thirsty men, that is so risk-free it doesn't even involve physical proximity to those men. They seem to have cracked the "scaling" problem too, by hiring help. I'm impressed.
Now that this and other articles have established that the board's actions were based not on a single event but rather on general, long-term, underspecified concerns, no one captures the essence of what happened more perfectly than Matt Levine:

"Well, sure, but [the board not trusting Altman] is a fight about AI safety. It’s just a metaphorical fight about AI safety. I am sorry, I have made this joke before, but events keep sharpening it. The OpenAI board looked at Sam Altman and thought 'this guy is smarter than us, he can outmaneuver us in a pinch, and it makes us nervous. He’s done nothing wrong so far, but we can’t be sure what he’ll do next as his capabilities expand. We do not fully trust him, we cannot fully control him, and we do not have a model of how his mind works that we fully understand. Therefore we have to shut him down before he grows too powerful.'

I’m sorry! That is exactly the AI misalignment worry! If you spend your time managing AIs that are growing exponentially smarter, you might worry about losing control of them, and if you spend your time managing Sam Altman you might worry about losing control of him, and if you spend your time managing both of them you might get confused about which is which. Maybe Sam Altman will turn the old board members into paper clips."

If you have 8GB you can play around with heavily quantized 7B models, or up to moderately quantized 13GB models w/ 16GB.

Something like a Mistral-7B Dolphin finetune actually is surprisingly useful, like GPT-3.5 in some respects. I imagine it would render ~10 tok/sec on an M2 for at least short bursts until throttling sets in.

As I mentioned in another post, try this out with LM Studio. Super simple GUI that even a non-tech person could probably figure out for finding/downloading/loading models w/ a ChatGPT like interface for chatting.

This mostly makes sense if you have four individual motors right next to the wheels, that turns with the wheel. That’s obviously also not viable with ICE cars.
Made this last year, inspired by @jart's SectorLambda[0] implementation of @tromp's Binary Lambda Calculus[1]. Since then I had an idea of how to translate the language into a 5-instruction "linear" (as opposed to tree-structured) machine code which can be nicely visualized. Finally implemented this idea, resulting in a minimal IDE/debugger. Just published a working version of that[0].

Pretty fun stuff. :D

And you also have to consider the amount of money they put into their tools too. Mechanics need to be holding tens of thousands of dollars in tools, they aren't given tools by their employer to use. And if they work for more than a few years in that job there are health issues that arise. My mechanic father for example needed both shoulders replaced, has nerve damage from tool vibration, and his hands are basically permenant claws that can still pull a wrench but prevent him from opening a jar or bottle of pop without a tool to help grip it.

I appreciate the simile! My argument was aimed against the claim that nuclear is safe because it hasn't killed many people. It is a common claim and I personally find it annoyingly disingenuous. Nuclear should be argued for without resorting to logical fallacies or falsehoods.

(Separately, I believe that solar+storage is the fastest gun in the west) ;-)

Apple is literally repeating Microsoft's strategy for breaking the XBox into the console market.

Targeting the high volume platform (Windows/iOS) gives you code that is nearly identical to the code you need on the lower volume platform (XBox/Mac). All you need to do is support an additional user interaction method (Keyboard Mouse/Gamepad/Touch).

I am an experienced software engineer, Rust language expert, startup CTO, and former Department of Defense research computer scientist who has written code for nuclear submarines and built high performance platforms and products in the edtech, fintech, CRE, B2B SaaS, and blockchain spaces. I specialize in solving hard engineering problems and building engineering teams and secure web-scale products from the ground up, including Arist (YC S'20) which I built up from 0 to a team of 11 engineers, SOC 2 Type II compliance, 20% market capture of the Fortune 500, and ultimately a $24m combo series A+B. I also built the backend and initial team behind the kagi.com search engine. Additionally, I am a former core member of the FRAME team at Parity where I had the pleasure of collaborating directly with Gavin Wood (original Ethereum CTO) to develop new features for the Polkadot blockchain ecosystem. Finally, I am the author of several popular Rust crates including macro_magic, docify, and supertrait.
Does Java (or it's programmers) know how to represent decimal numbers and fractions at the machine level?

COBOL is used in banking because it natively supported decimal floats from the 70s or some crap, and no other language bothers to truly try and be a COBOL replacement.

Banking / insurance / etc etc are on the Dollar/Penny system. They need 0.01 to be exactly 0.01, and not 0.09999997 or whatever double precision decides to round that to.

And remember, there are fractions of a penny. Ex: $15.097 could be a real price that needs to be exactly calculated.

-------

If this crap hasn't been figured out in the last 20 years, why would Java or C# programmers try to solve it in the next 20 years?

It's more likely for the old COBOL code to just keep running along than to port over to a language that doesn't even meet your legal requirements.

It was old Internet Explorer that wouldn't render tables progressively.

See here, where it includes a demo:
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=161099

Non-table layouts also came into fashion when screen resolutions started to vary more, and some degree of fluidity and responsiveness could've been implemented with non-table layouts while IE was still a target.
However, IE was lacking so badly even with IE8 that a lot of CSS that had been a W3C recommendation for years at that point just either didn't work, it was quirky because IE handled the box model a little differently.
Ít was one of the reasons why Javascript shims and IE-specific CSS had to help out fairly often.

Do you think its normal in our society to state publicly that you think onlyfans is okay/good?

Of course not. We are not a open society.

And he clearly doesn't reference the article with the hook 'problem', he keeps it generic: "(the girl selling and the guy buying)"

Onlyfans is obvously satisfying a fantasy. This has very little to do with real life.

The author didn't put any effort into actually trying to articulate a concrete example of a system that was already well-architectured but also needed section headers. All of the examples they brought up would be better-served by more sensible refactors that didn't go to one extreme (4 line files) or the other (2000 line files). I'm sure there are rare files where having section header comments really is helpful, but personally I've never found it a useful way to organize my code, even in >500k LoC projects.

You're overlooking the long history of sex work in most human civilizations. Fair enough if you morally disagree with it and wish it didn't exist but it's existent and the existence of people who provide and consume it is about as normal as it gets.

If you accept that sex work will always exist in some capacity then there are reasonable arguments that the existence of OnlyFans is a good thing, as the OnlyFans model of sex work is in many ways much better than traditional models for both the sex workers and the consumers. There are of course arguments against that too, but saying sex work is fundamentally immoral and thus OnlyFans should be stopped is naive and more importantly unhelpful when it comes to reducing the potential harm sex work can cause.
> But none of that even addresses my argument, Russia opposed NATO expansion, Russia threatened severe consequences, NATO gave no signs that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO or entered any kind of negotiations, Russia delivered on its promise.

I don't understand what you are talking about. NATO did exactly what you suggest: at the request of Russians, shut the door to NATO for Georgia and Ukraine. Russia used the opportunity and shortly thereafter invaded both of them. Russia has not invaded a single country that actually joined NATO.

Seeking NATO membership is the best strategy to prevent a Russian invasion, hence why Finland and Sweden decided to join. It was a particularly notable policy shift for Sweden, because Sweden abandoned 200 years of neutrality.
