Could you explain. I'd guess "Arschloch"?

The translation of "bad language" is very tricky.

English is my mother tongue but I live in a German (sort-of, it's complicated) speaking country. I've learned that "scheisse" is not a very good translation for the English word "sh*t". It seems to me that the English word is much stronger/more offensive than the common German translation at least where I'm from.

German "scheisse" seems more at the level of "damn" in my experience (maybe it varies according to region?) and so is acceptable to be used in many more situations than the common English translation - i.e. by young kids or with strangers.

I think German speakers, as a result, don't realize how strong the English word is and use it a bit more liberally than would be expected. For example, I was very surprised that broadsheet (respectable) newspapers will casually drop an expression like "sh*tstorm" into a German sentence in a serious article.
Even that can be a puzzle. Kids can be hard work. People like to talk in rosy terms about spending time with kids, especially when it’s the “idea” of kids or the “memory” of their own kids. Yet few parents of presently young children describe their days as blissfully idyllic. So what does “enjoy” really mean? Aside from basics like “don’t work 90 hour weeks” or “don’t travel for work three weeks a month”.
The Western Empire was the only Roman Empire that the Italian Fascists ever really cared about. Early Byzantium was totally foreign to their mythology.
I don't disagree, because you're mostly talking about mature startups and corporations.

It's not making it fun. It's making them read at all. Go into a classroom of 8-10th grades and have your fucking mind blown. Both comments yours and the guy who says that they don't know the source material anymore are just so unbelievable pretentious and condescending it hurts.
There's some very obvious ways to prevent that. One way is "here's a list of ten candidate features we might prototype this week/month/quarter/release, but you can only pick one". Or ask users to rank them, and only pick the consensus #1-ranked. The ensuing dialog can be informative.
95% of employees voted with their wallets. Their millions of dollars in “stock options” were at risk of being worthless and the tender offer of cashing out was halted. Of course they wanted him back. And of course they would have joined Microsoft too — but almost none of them would have joined had they gotten a standard Microsoft offer, they would only join if they got a matching or near matching offer.
Show HN: Tool that captures SSIDs from device's Preferred Network List
PNLS is an open-source offensive tool that captures and displays SSIDs from device's Preferred Network List. This is achieved by sniffing out Probe Requests in the nearby vicinity which are then parsed for SSID and other information, and finally propagated to the web UI.

The project was build using a Raspberry Pi with Kali Linux OS. It uses Python, FastAPI and Redis for the backend and React/JavaScript for the frontend.

I hope some of you will find this useful. Also, I would love and appreciate some feedback. Thank you.
I’m not so sure that China is “pacifist and prosperous” compared to the US. What I am sure of is that you just have not heard of many cases where they haven’t been, because it’s China.
I assume it's not that easy to prove, so most people don't take legal action.

Personally, I don't take legal action even if I think I can win the case, because it's just too much time and effort, and I don't want my life to focus on said legal procedure for the next n months.

I assume other people also think they need to choose their battles.
That's really more due to the influence of the King James Version than anything else. For example, ESV uses you: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A5...

In French, however, God is always referred to with the informal tu, which surprises second language learners. But it makes sense when you realize that using plural for formal came about well after the Hebrew Bible, and because it was to implicitly refer to multiple people (sort of like the royal We), which obviously wouldn't be acceptable in Christianity.
Yes, this was France.
Spawning a screen session by default is a good habit indeed. Especially on remote hosts when you are doing something critical.

I don't understand what you're trying to argue here. The point is that they have the same safety level as Rust, not that they're somehow more safe.
You are so wrong about that. I’ve had people recite gang of four design patterns and talk about template metaprogramming then absolutely fail at writing a doubly nested loop in their language of choice. Coding is a skill that you can only really master with practice not just reading books and blogposts (although that definitely helps)

I asked very basic coding questions that didn’t require “advanced” algorithmic knowledge like DP which are popular at some shops
But you can't say "in order to use this service you have to accept tracking". That's not a freely given consent, if the service would work fine without.

More like not blindly following other people's definition of success.

We all have choices to make. And most of us could, for example, choose a less prestigious job in order to have more time and energy for other stuff. Among other things..
However, the cost of living in Japan is certainly higher than the cost of living in Vietnam, where your parent poster is apparently residing.
You can't rule it out but I'm skeptical. Godel was alive in the 20th century. Spinoza was another philosopher who found the ontological argument convincing and he was such a radical that he was kicked out of the Jewish community he was raised in (i.e. not someone who would have yielded to social pressure).
Correct, but that only means that our economy is a temporary phenomenon. Mass ecosystem collapses happen regularly whether we want it or not. Most of the past civilizations reached the graveyard due to very natural causes like 200 years long draughts.

"How to best adapt to changes" is an interesting question which I'd happily discuss. "How to prevent changes" is a meaningless question.

Can confirm, I do belong to that crowd and I did share it after reading it. An hour later, it dawned on me that this report is maybe kinda cool, but really isn't enough to draw any conclusions from and I should not have shared it.

e: downvoters didn't read the Wired article:

“The [Windows NT] ruse was typical of the software giant, a way of artificially shifting a market in its own favor. It could force all web serving onto a more expensive OS while still selling a cheaper version for other tasks. And after Russinovich exposed the practice, releasing a tool that let anyone transform NT Workstation into NT Server, the company responded in typical fashion. Days later, when employees from his New Hampshire company flew across the country to participate in a Microsoft event, Microsoft barred them from the building. But at the same time, the incident managed to bring Russinovich closer to the software giant. Even as his colleagues were shut out of the company, the head of Windows offered him a job.”
Ah good point, I have "Please do not use web search unless asked." as part of my system prompt.
The separation made more sense when disk space was scarce, but I guess no one today is using separate partitions for /bin /sbin and /usr, or mounting /usr over NFS.

Each company I’ve worked with has attracted a slightly different group of applicants, so I find it easy to believe NL would be different yet.

Whenever I start thinking the problem is the candidates I start asking myself “why?”. Why we came to the conclusion we did, why they applied, why we need more people on the team, etc.
I believe so, and tuh (or thu, don’t remember) linked in the article has the same sound
Most of the people who've been able to afford moving into the now over priced homes in my NC suburban neighborhood are from CA.
It takes time to report these things, you can't just bang it out overnight. In addition, breaking a preference falsification cascade can take a lot of hits: a lot of people didn't want to talk about Altman, but with every article in WSJ/NYT/WaPo revealing some more, that reluctance fades a little bit. That is how you go from a few months ago, there being nothing but a whisper here or there that Altman had been fired from YC as one of the crown jewel secrets of YC known to a handful of people, to now Paul Graham casually confirming it to the WSJ.

As for what the benefit is, the ongoing report is one benefit. If the law firm (named here for the first time, I believe) didn't know about, say, Sutskever's list of 20 incidents, well, they do now.
this angle suggests that no experience of other person can be useful, since it's a subjective experience. Yes, it's my subjective experience, I didn't say: "do as I did or follow my advice".
I said: I wish I knew this from before and didn't make these mistakes.
Why do I think these are mistakes?
Because I did it one way, then another way and things got a lot better. It made me think that the old way was the problem in cases where I reproduced it multiple times.

However the reader should take everything in my post as my subjective experience which they should make up their own mind upon

> because we couldn’t magic enough battery capacity into existence to compensate for base load

Lets look at California's ISO supply page right now.

Renewables: 14.3GW.
Nat Gas: 3.5GW
Nuke: 2.2GW
Imports: 1.3GW
Batteries: -3.5GW (Charging)

All the utility grade battery capacity was added in the last three years.

What's kind annoying about solar, wind and batteries is we could have done a moon shot program in the 70's to develop the industry but we didn't. So we wasted 40 years and trillions on fossil fuels and nuclear. If we had taken the money spent on nukes in the 50's and 60's we would have been switching over in the 70's.
Bridges are almost always one-offs aren't they? (If you exclude things like motorway crossing bridges, but that's clearly not the target here.)
“Kind” as in passing people who probably wont cut it? You’re only being kind in a feel good about yourself sense and just setting them up for getting pip’ed later on. What’s so kind about that?

I dunno, the whole point of a government based on natural rights theory is the government isn’t the giver of rights, so it can’t strip people of rights. If you’re thinking of privileges granted by a group of doctrinaires, that’s more like an ecclesiastical polity.
French and English coexisted as neighbor languages for more than a millenium, so there are a lot of both subtle and obvious similarities between the two.
The frequency of posts dealing with "new" solutions like this bothers me. Are none of these guys older than 20yrs or is just AI bots? Staggeringly amateurish.
Windows 11 could cause one of the biggest environmental disasters in recent computer industry history.

I have a 2013 desktop which can't run Windows 11, it's still on 10. What will happen when 10 is end of life? The desktop is plenty for non-professional usage - 4c/8t, 32 GB RAM, SSD.

There are tons of computers like this one, very few actually need the power of a recent computer.

Using genetic algorithms or other evolutionary computation methods for this purpose is pretty old. There are two versions. First, there is evolutionary resynthesis, where the system is trying to optimize a synth program to match an existing sound. This can be done automatically: try a bunch of sounds, have some automatic comparator compare them to the target sound, assess them, mix-and-match, try again. Then there is interactive evolution, where the system is trying to come up with sounds interesting to the musician. Here the system proposes and auditions synth patches, and the musician responds with what he thinks are the better ones, and using that information the system mixes and matches and tries again.

Evolutionary resynthesis has been around since at least 1996 (Horner). Aphex Twin was enamored with it for a while. I don't think it's particularly interesting: if you already have a target sound, why are you trying to come up with a program to match it? Why not use the sound itself? But interactive evolution is both useful, more difficult, and interesting, as it makes it possible for the musician to explore the space of synth programs without having to program them (and that's particularly good for FM, since FM is EXTREMELY counterintuitive to program).

I wrote what I think is the best general-purpose interactive evolution style synth programming system right now: Edisyn. It works with a wide range of synthesizers and synthesis types. If you restrict yourself to exactly one synthesizer of your own design, you can get better results still, and there are a number of softsynths out there which do this.

But most interestingly: interactive evolution has a specific inventor: BRIAN ENO! He invented it around 1995 in a letter he wrote to Stewart Brand.

I am not trying to argue with you. The method of separating or combining emails/numbers to me lies within the contact.
Because imessages can be sent from both emails and phone numbers (e.g. iphone as well as ipad without cellular connection) i’m not sure if there is a way to handle it while also accommodating your preference
>The same way Google already does with YouTube channels.

In theory this sounds nice, but in practice it has a very pro-western bias.

For example:

Under BBC videos, the warning is "BBC is a British public broadcast service."

Under NPR videos, the warning is "NPR is an American public broadcast service."

Under CGTN videos, the warning is "CGTN is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government."

The BBC and NPR are also "funded in whole in part by the [UK/US] government", yet it comes with a much nicer warning.
>increasing amount of arguing I was seeing* [on twitter]

I recently created a new account, adding only programming and professional connections, and it's actually quite good! If you don't click on any of the "trending" stuff, it functions like a microblog should: it's a way for me to keep up with the projects and OSS personalities I want to, without the fuss.

I did something similar with YouTube: I simply turned off "watch history". The youtube home page is literally empty, because without data the algorithm offers nothing. (In fairness, there's a big contingency message saying in bold letters "Turn watch history back on? Pretty please?") The only time I see content on youtube is because someone I subscribed to posted something. It's glorious. No more doom scrolling because the content is finite once again. I find that the creators I like (and the comments) have enough references to other content that I don't feel cut off. And there's always search. It's just that default empty screen that seems like the magic sauce.

This is my "middle path", and it seems likely that if it catches on they'll do something to disrupt it. In which case I will truly leave. It would be such a waste though, and why we can't have nice things.
I am quite sure that the author of this post doesn't mean it bad, however, I don't want this post to give people the wrong impression that the money asked is not worth it. Far far far from the truth.

I am learning Swift/swiftUI (as a backend guy with little previous experience with frontend/UI programs, okay) and building apps for OSX can be very painful. Starting from outdated docs (basically no books about OSX development since ... 10-15 years? or more?) to the new fancy ways of doing things with SwiftUI (that sells the promise that "you do it once,..." and it will work exactly as they planned to when you sell *Hello World* apps).

It's not the use case itself to be hard, but the fact you need to support multiple operating systems (which as you might know, Apple produces every year a brand new model, so imagine the fun), or that maybe the specific API you rely on (from Apple, not some random guy out there) has some weird memory leak because it's written in C++ or Obj-C, who knows last time someone touched it. And Apple is updating everything but that specific thing, so you need to build something around it. I don't even want to start on the lack of libraries for Swift - a lot of open source libs are outdated, bugged, last commits 1-2 years ago, which means you either have to fork and fix, or well, you do it yourself from scratch.

Nowadays selling software for OSX has basically nothing to do anymore with the idea or use case itself but all the toil that the poor developer has to put with up. I learnt that most apps on the App Store deserves some money (sometimes they ask for a lot, nothing to say, but that's their business model).
It's also handling what state the suburb is in, and can deal with various kinds of bad data (e.g. lack of uniformity of spacing and capitalisation).

does anyone in the brave new AI community have the patience and humility to try to solve the hallucinations problem?

I think this is akin to asking if anyone in the software engineering community has the patience and humility to try to solve the software bugs problem.

I too like windows 11. From a UX perspective it's much better than Windows 10. Chop out the unnecessary bits and it's a solid contender.
After having moved to NixOS, this type of evolution feels archaic.
Imagine running a business with a series of one-year guns pointed at your head, never knowing if they'll go off. Countries can and do summarily change the rules for work visas all the time: for example, in Singapore during COVID, the government decided to shore up local employment and score political points before an election by suddenly announcing that spouses of employees could no longer apply for work rights (Letter of Consent) and that existing LOCs would not be renewed, throwing a lot of families into disarray.

It's even worse for an unusual visa like this, where a lot is left to interpretation. You may get a different officer this year who is going to nix what the previous one allowed last year, and appeals are uncertain, cumbersome and may require you to leave the country.
This has to be bait.
The objective is an end to occupation, this is about establishing justice. it would be narrow minded and misguided to claim this is not about human rights and dignity first and foremost, which is a component of justice. People take solidarity with those being oppressed and wronged. The Israeli occupation and oppression of Palestine has been occurring for over 70 years now, and worldwide this is a galvanizing topic especially considering the major uptick in atrocities committed by the Israeli government and indiscriminate targeting of civilians.

The issue with Rohingya people is also an issue that people take solidarity with and partake in aid of.

I see your comment as dismissing the desire to establish justice in Palestine as if it is only about fighting Jews for being Jewish. Many people also protested the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, which now in the US we recognize as being based on wrong premises. Apartheid was supported by many people but now it is regarded as a dark time in history.

If you wish to be on the side of ignoring the need for justice, know that you won’t be the first to do so. But it does not make it the correct thing to do.
It's been a long time since I've studied any of this, but I immediately wonder if there's a difference between "thinking something" and stating that one is "thinking something". Surely(?), I can claim to be thinking one thing, while not thinking of that thing at all.

I added the (?) after the initial comment because I'm not certain that certainty can be certain.

And what does it mean to be "greater". That implies some set of qualities to judge greatness by. What are these qualities?

Apologies. I was lazy and jumped into the argument before reading the article. It says, "where greatness is usually cashed out in terms of the traditional “omni”-properties (omnipotence, omnibenevolence, omniscience etc)"

Honestly EU doesn't have to change a single thing. All compliance exists already.

The trick is to not track good children at all, only those bad ones. I'd you leverage sanction lists (that exist already) to track the bad children, you have all cases covered.

Any Santa related contractor (Santa helpers, elves, etc) have to check a sanction list to see if they can finalize a transaction with said child.

As for lists: when a child sends a request for particular gift, it starts a formal transaction. The other entity is legally allowed to process said child's data to provide the service they agreed upon.

Kids that have not sent a letter to Santa and are not mentioned in sanction lists, can still get gifts but Santa lacks profiling metadata and can only provide generic, unprofiled gifts. Which is good as already have sufficient amount of Bluetooth speakers and Paw Patrol toys.
Common sense. EVs are amazing but they are not where close to being practical replacement for ICE engines. Governments should stop subdizing rich people's EVs and insteead help make more efficient and cheaper ICE engines.

I said in the 90's that when Moore's Law died, we could finally fix all the kludges we had been building on.

That would be the case if there was vendor lockdown on the hardware to only ever support Windows. Thankfully, for most people, this isn’t the case and Linux exists.
The problem is when the country can- or does not have any influence of what kind of immigrants they get. Not every country can get the best. In the case of Denmark for example, the immigration has been shown a net negative[0]. And you have to admit it is weird to live in a society with a self destructing culture, where foreigners are used as breading rabbits.
