Well, this is second hand (thankfully my company doesn't do it) but I know through friends and colleagues at other companies some places definitely are doing something like it.

I've heard of it in 3 flavors:

The first flavor are businesses do it so their customers/clients/investors don't get nervous - it shows they're on a growth trajectory! They have no intention of ever hiring people for these roles.

The second flavor is similar to the first, but HR/internal recruiters are trying to build out a network of candidates they can cold-call at a later date when/if roles open up again (either because of turn-over or budget).

The third flavor is what I'd call "whale hunting". Basically, they're only interested in very specific candidates that perfectly fit criteria and blow the interviewer away.

Having a reason is evidence.

Not knowing a reason is not evidence, and saying so is not declaring evidence of absense.

It's perfectly correct to state that there is no reason, if as of time of speaking there is no known reason. No known reason today IS no reason. If you discover a reason tomorrow, then tomorrow it would no longer be correct to say there is no reason.

For it to be wrong to say "there is no reason to think it will be impossible" you would have to have some theory that suggests it will end up being impossible. Do you know of any such theory? For instance, is there a math argument that prevents it because regardless of the chemistry or process or pressures or temperatures or electric fields etc, it would require electrons or something to travel faster than the speed of light, or would somehow produce more energy than it consumes, or something like that? Even if it hasn't been proven experimentally, is there any such theory at all or any basis for proposing it?

Without something like that, then it is in fact a plain true valid consistent statement that "there is no reason to think it will be impossible"

That does not preclude that we may end up discovering it's impossible, or even before that we may end up thinking up a theory that will end up suggesting it will end up being impossible.
I'm not sure which side I'm on in your comment ;) Right now I'm focusing on the first 2 R's of the 3 R's (reduce, reuse, and recycle). I'm reducing my footprint by reusing an existing car and fixing it with used parts when I can. This vs saving a little carbon over long, long run by buying an EV? I still don't think an EV has a smaller footprint than a used ICE car but I could be wrong.
Producing cars at the scale we're currently at is what's most troubling. EV's won't save us, we have to reduce individual car ownership and push for alternatives (car sharing and public transport).

I mean. If people reused passwords for 23andMe, is this really 23andMe's fault? Should they have required 2FA for everything? That's kind of a hard sell tbh.
Very fun challenge that nerd sniped me right away. Had to do a C version in standard C99 with POSIX threads. It[1] clocks in at just under 4 seconds on my AMD Ryzen 4800U Laptop CPU.

It would take a huge scale study to prove to me that the protein and other nutrients are the same as real meat and just as bioavailable. And I'm not replacing real meat with it until we know those things are true. I might try it as a novelty but not at those prices. It's not that I wouldn't eat it because it's somehow gross to me - if it looks like chicken and tastes like chicken, I'm down.
The problem with video games and binary sizes is that the assets (3d models, audio, etc) take far more space than the binaries. And its much harder to compress then while still getting good loading times and high quality.
For complex cases, use SSO providers and service-to-service connectors that hide the underlying protocol from you. If you must manage auth in a more custom way, use things like Azure Active Directory or other competitors. They probably use some OpenID or OIDC under the hood, but the vast majority of software products shouldn’t actually need to implement the protocols directly.

For simple cases, plain old TLS should be enough, ideally with short lived client certs.

It’s a bit like “don’t roll your own crypto” advice. Don’t roll your own auth.
Mentioned in the video, but worth repeating. This one like many old appliances is ungrounded. What's wrong in this video is the suggestion to rely on neutral for ground. Neutral is not ground and shouldn't be relied on for electrical exposure safety. Not mentioned is the condition of the interior steel's plating. The galvanizing (at least zinc) and chrome are separating from the base metal in areas through oxidization and abrasion.

The design risks have value and are worth preserving, but "this device predates safety" is a real factor to bear in mind.
The design criteria is exactly the same. Have an optical medium with as little attenuation as you can. If you can't have it in a medium that is only a few meters long how could you possibly achieve it in a medium of a few kilometers? Apply your logic to copper cables. Can you have a copper cable able to deliver power over a long distance but unable to deliver the same power over a shorter distance?
Cool, thanks. I'll give it another shot, then.

It's worth noting that the word "fibre" should be interpreted very loosely when it comes to high power lasers. They are often very specialised and in many cases more like "rods" i.e. held completely straight as even small bending would introduce enough loss to then cause the fibre to melt.

That said you can deliver 100s of W with relatively off the shelf fibres.
Man, that discussion has been around for a long, long time- I'm a grumpy old guy that's been riding motorcycles of one type or another since I was 11, and flying since I was 16. Btw, I'm a huge fan of both ADS-B as well as TCAS... TCAS when I'm flying, ADS-B when I get to watch my son training at Navy Corpus.

Hanging around FBOs/flight lines/bars with pilots that also ride, it's come down to this:

After countless attempts and arguments while trying to normalize accident/fatal accident rates by converting hours flown/miles ridden, statistics do support that GA does seem to be a bit more dangerous than riding.

That having been said, my opinion is that most of the GA risks are in the hands of the pilot, while most of the risks of riding are external to the rider. Most of the worst motorcycle accidents I've seen or heard of involved the rider getting schwacked by a car or truck, while most of the worst GA accidents involved the pilot schwacking him or herself with poor judgement and/or skills that are below MIF. I put a lot of effort into minimizing pilot-induced risk when I fly, so scientifically speaking and all, I -feel- safer when flying than riding, and probably am.

A lot of jobs never make it to the boards directly, or if they do, they're not listed with company names because it just opens up the position to more recruiters calling in to client managers. A recruiter will usually discuss the client with you directly so that you aren't double submitting yourself, though.
Unfortunately they're hard to find in stock and without a mark up. There's probably some 2+ hours away from here, but I wish there was at least one nearby to test drive first before committing to a 4+ hour drive...
> Job seekers are facing a broken, emergent system.

This is not an 'emergent' thing - it was this way 20+ years ago when I was starting out. The most important thing I've learned in that time is that all of my best jobs come through people I know.

I've gotten a grand total of one job in 26 years from a 'blind' application, and that was working for a local government who had a very strict interview process.

Build your network, work your network. Read The Proximity Principle by Ken Coleman if you need some direction and inspiration.
No, not at all. I'm pretty familiar with the STM literature by this point, but I basically just took the DB I'd already developed and slapped an STM API on top. Given that it can do 4.8M update TPS on a single thread, it's plenty fast enough already (although scalability isn't quite there yet; I have plenty of ideas on how to fix that but no time to implement them).

Since I've given up on monetizing this project, I may as well just link to its current state (which is very rough, the STM API described in the website is only partly implemented, and there's lots of cruft from its previous life that I haven't ripped out yet). Note that this is a fork of the previous (now MIT-licensed) Gaia programming platform (https://gaia-platform.github.io/gaia-platform-docs.io/index....).

The version of this code previously released under the Gaia programming platform is here: https://github.com/gaia-platform/GaiaPlatform/blob/main/prod.... (Note that this predates my removal of IPC from the transaction critical path, so it's about 100x slower.) A design doc from the very beginning of my work on the project that explains the client-server protocol is here (but completely outdated; IPC is no longer used for anything but session open and failure detection): https://github.com/gaia-platform/GaiaPlatform/blob/main/prod....

> adding a carbon tax to make ICE vehicles less appealing

Taxes are already built in, heavily so — on fuel, registrations, etc.

The #1 way to push the stick would be to dramatically raise fuel prices.

I'm personally an overall fan of ICEV over EV, but if you wanted to do it, raising fuel prices at the exact moment ICEVs in the U.S. are becoming bigger & heavier would greatly increase the incentive to move to EV.
Article is spot on about the problems, but as much as I'm a huge fan of European style mass transit, we really need to let go of the idea of "push more public transportation" as some sort of solution in the U.S. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The US as a country has for the past 100 years been built around cars, both in cities and rural areas, and it would probably take another 100 years to change that if there was even the willpower to do so (which there is not). So whatever solutions we implement need to just accept that fact; it's fanciful and counter-productive otherwise.
EV stops have a big advantage in that they force you to get out and move around a bit. Sitting in a car all day is bad for you. Taking a break every few hours is good. Walking around during that break is ideal.

You don't want to give yourself a blood clot on a family vacation.

Didn't lease, but did buy new due to this factor. I was looking for a rather modest, cheap, reliable, used sedan. Prices were all well over $14/$15k (for a 2015-2017, and nearly the cost of new after that). At that point, it made sense to look at a new Kia/Hyundai in the lower price range and gain a decade's worth of warranty.
I’m pretty sure high powered lasers penetrate goggles by just vaporizing them.
These types of stories are what drove me to software in the first place. The ideal of a group of people working towards the same goal, for sometimes different reasons, but not for the sole purpose of monetary reward.

Good luck with the project!

I also echo some of the others, it would be great to see a sort of comparison with the alternatives so that we can better understand how the project fits in.
Do you have a performance comparison for inference on the same hardware using each of these implementations?
I agree with this. Frankly, if something is to blame, it's user agents / browsers that should be much better at educating and alerting about password reuse.
I see where you're coming from. To me we all _are_ figuratively in a tower on fire. The fire's just started, but nobody's doing much about it. As one of the masses I try to do my part in my personal and professional life.

The oligarchs and plutocrats might have the collective power to put out that fire, but they'd rather take a fire escape. I say that, but I bet they donate more to different causes than I'll see in a lifetime. So -- who am I to fault them for hedging their bets right?
To help you get started with visual novel projects, there are already many templates containing AI characters that you can leverage. such as https://play.rosebud.ai/games/52417bb7-6796-4a4b-8a38-38d99e...
You can clone these and customize the personalities to suit your storytelling needs. Using Chat, it is straightforward for even creative people without coding experience to add new scenes, interactivity, and dialogue.
Simply clone an existing template, edit the characters to your preferences, then build out additional narrative sequences or branching event options through the intuitive chat interface.
This makes the creative process smooth and coding-free. Experimenting on top of premade foundations can kickstart your visual novel effectively.

"and walking is made more viable at the stroke of a pen simply by changing the zoning and building code to actually allow people to build walkable neighbourhoods with retail amenities,..."

This is an easy claim but unrealistic in North America. For the Boomers that have lived in single family housing for decades, those who also represent the larget voting block in most major cities, you're expecting them to forfeit their percieved "quality of life."

Have you seen large apartment projects in US cities, they are atrociously designed, with the vanity of walkability but rarely deliver the NYC or San Francisco level of walkability that they are selling.

Yimbys would do well to insist upon better replacement products.
The testing kits may be the "best" - their data retention and security just sucks. I (stupidly) did 23andMe a while back, I've since requested my data to be deleted. Who knows if that's even honored.

Probably because it’s more work, and it’s logic that you have to write and get correct. Whereas “for update” pretty much just works.

But there are definitely many valid solutions, including just setting the specific transaction to serializable and handling transaction retries.

Well, there we differ. If employees can't be prevented from harassing other employees with open letters casting aspirations at each other then it would be impossible to operate a functioning company.

Interesting project. One thing I noticed: when I clicked the button, a fullscreen window got spawned, without any prompt asking me if I should enter fullscreen (Latest Firefox). On a sidenote: this could be used for browser-in-the-browser attacks[0] where someone could present a mock browser UI with a fake URL.

Other than that, it's a great project. Anything to just sit without distractions gives us an unfair advantage over the majority of the world's population who are addicted to phones.

How often do you do this? Once, maybe twice a year? With my current commute i have to go out of my way to get gas every week. It takes at least 15 minutes extra on my way home (but thats only because the gas station on the route is about $1 a gallon more). i'd be prepared to add an hour twice a year in return for getting 15 minutes back 48 times a year. And the annoyance of having to make an unexpected trip when i was planning to get gas the next day (whereas i could keep an EV charged abouve 50% at all times).

Of course, that only works if you value your time at $0/hour. Applying for jobs for all the different sites, formats, cover letters, requirements, etc, is hard work. And the sites that upload your resume, then ask you to basically type it all back in as part of the application process can all go to hell..
There is no question that the electric motor is the future.

The only question is that how do we transport the power for it, currently it's batteries but in the future it might be something else.

I'm personally wondering why more companies don't do range extender trucks for long hauls. Electric drivetrain with insane torque and long maintenance intervals. Add a small to medium sized battery. Plug in a diesel generator that can always work at 100% optimal RPM to produce maximum output to charge the battery.

It does require nightly, but it only uses five features, one of which could be removed by adding an external crate, and the others are like, not anything super wild, for the most part. I haven't looked too deeply into the code but they all make sense to me, for example one of them is a standard library API for creating uninitialized containers, which allows you to eliminate a copy.

I agree with the customer characterization (although I suspect that number of such people out there is higher) and from an efficiency perspective it's just as bad as it's more conventional looking EV truck competitors.
