Are you sure ?
This is like this MTV commercial when the child is watching porn when the parents enter the room, only to switch to MTV afterwards.
Nobody's sold new VAX systems since the 90s. VMS was ported first to the DEC Alpha architecture, then to Itanium, so even for VMS, VAX is two architectures ago.

And Itanium itself is at the end of the road now, but I think still supported for the moment.
Absolutely not. Maybe it sounds more reasonable because you have been programmed to not think too much about those other activities
> Grievant had the temerity to do stand-up while on a WFH doctor's note for MS

This adds a huge amount of context to this article. A big issue was that he was doing comedy, it's that he was doing it on company time.

The article mentions things like "raises concerns about the boundaries of remote work" and I was completely confused why they kept bringing up working from home if the article was bout inflammatory jokes.

I'll add that I am on Jad's side here, but the full un-biased picture is important.
Something to keep in mind about all this (and something that my wife reminds me of when I get annoyed trying to write product descriptions) is that the description and the product are separate. In that, if I struggle to write a description that is attractive to everyone, it doesn't necessarily mean that the unattracted ones won't like the product. And some that are attracted to the description will dislike the product.

This is just part of the difficulty of marketing; you can't please everyone. You have to figure out what problems the bulk of your possible user market are trying to solve that your app solves, and present that plainly and concisely. Flowery language tends to obfuscate; just plain simple "If you have problems XYZ, this will solve those", then link to greater detail about how each of X, Y, and Z, are solved.

It's hard to do this because we are so used to seeing mid level manager bullshit PR speak on every product page we look at; it seems like a requirement. I've had very refreshing experiences with product descriptions written by a technical writer who just did not give a fuck. Just wrote it up like he was sending an email about a bug report, published it, and it was fantastic.
Thanks. I tried to keep it as close to the native iOS clock app.
Well, a bunch of the other dominant species would die too, but "life" referring to the construct of individual contained chemical reactions sustaining themselves will surely continue, which is basically the same thing
This is only true for systems where comparative advantage applies. Academia is not one of these places (as they explicitly don't want to be a part of the economy, which I understand).
The dream of abundant computing
The same thing as Microsoft or Google suites, which is to minimize workflow and maximize productivity by allowing apps to be interconnected.

I will say however that I agree, the page doesn’t sell me on much. The apps/“modules” themselves are not well displayed and I am not convinced even by its unique points such as its (eventual?) encryption, namely due to how opaque it all is.

I wish it was more transparent, between its file formats, its encryption standards and implementation, and how it actually works.
IMO I think with the changing dynamics of how people use their computers (most things now are web based whereas before it was always an app you installed on your computer) coupled with the maturity of the Linux desktop, most regular people could probably get away with using Linux these days. Still the biggest barrier to Linux adoption is just getting it setup on your machine.
Having grown up in a time where porn was illegal for minors but trivially obtained by anyone who cared in VHS, I honestly don't understand why anyone thinks this scheme would be useful for anything.
Of course Palantir could only be represented by the grand-son of the founder of the pre-WWII British Union of Fascists (and Holocaust Denialist post-war), and son to the famous president of the FIA and Formula 1 - who is also a racist publisher who liked to have nazi-themed orgies (and tried to silence any journal who published it).

Really, Palantir's management couldn't have made a finest choice! Absolutely no undertones here. There were absolutely no better candidate.
A few more points:

I have not read Radhakrishnan's take on the Bhagavad Gita fully. I only read parts of it, when I was a kid. We had many books in that category (Indian spirituality and mythology) lying around at home. So I read some of them.

But I have read one or two other versions of the Bhagavad Gita fully, later on, but don't remember who they were by. There are some pocket editions of the Gita available too. I used to have one. If you are into that subject, I recommend getting a pocket one (along with a bigger one), so that you can read it when you are on the go.

As for Eknath Easwaran's books, I have only read these two: Meditation and The Dhammapada. So I cannot specifically recommend any of his other books. But they are likely to be good, based on his Wikipedia page.

Good luck.
They've got a great record in raising money.
> If you use a trackpad, you can use the scale gesture (pinch-to-zoom, but outwards) to increase the magnification of most web pages.

And if that doesn't work (it doesn't for me), the older method should: Hold control and scroll, up to zoom in and down to zoom out.
Link to where you can secure one of these licenses?
I sort of agree. There is some cost-safety trade-off curve, and it's almost certainly true that you can get more safety for less cost/hassle on airplanes (or any large-group travel) than private cars. So in that sense, yes, the optimal amount of safety will be higher for planes.

However, I think we should still respect individual preferences for safety in the sense that public transit should try and make the trade-offs individuals would make according to their values. In practice that means trying to estimate the value individuals put on safety through their revealed preferences, with cars being a key example. Although there are some choices the FAA makes here that a smart, on some other choices I think they impose hassles on passengers that aren't remotely justified by the safety benefit, e.g., mandatory seat belt use.

Everyone knows, but they also know its "the other guy". "Their guy" is the good one.
I've changed the link to an archived version of the relevant pages.
> There was a bit of a dark age but by now there's way better keyboards than the MS ergonomic.

Do you have any examples? Ideally that are the same price as the Ergo was (and probably will be) at $59?
>Astrological signs are predictive of birth dates, but they arent models of being born -- nor of time, or anything else.

Also eating ice cream and getting bitten by a shark do have some mutual predictive associations.

I think that the chess-GPT experiment can be interesting, not because the machine can predict every causal connection, but how many causal connections can it extract from the training data by itself. By putting a human in the loop, much more causal connections will be revealed but the human is lazy. Or expensive. Or expensive because he is lazy.

In addition correlation can be a hint for causation. If a human researches it further, then maybe it is a correlation and nothing substantial, but sometimes it may actually be a causative effect. So there is value in that.

About the overall sentiment, NN's world model is very different from a human world model indeed.
It absolutely is useful and one of the most significant points in this comment section.

People are applying standards to LLMs that don't exist elsewhere. They don't exist elsewhere because they absolutely can't exist elsewhere.

It's not a technical short-coming of LLMs that they can't produce citations in every instance. Rather, it's a property of information, representation, and knowledge itself. Much of it floats far above the otherwise load bearing pillars of citations.

People contend with this constantly in every arena of life, and we have come up with very elaborate ways to offset the difficulties caused by it.

And we get along very well despite it all.

I'll also leave you with this: citations are just pointers to more sources of information. Not some ground truth. It's just another tranche that requires evaluations.

Lastly, your comment is an unfortunate bit of low-level snark and probably would have been better left unsaid.
LTSC cuts down on the user-hostility but the quality of the OS is still terrible - it doesn't fix features that have intentionally been broken/removed/replaced by a half-assed knockoff. You still have the terrible/broken start menu search, useless mobile-themed control panel (which often doesn't have what you want so you end up falling back to the real control panel anyway), etc.
I'll give it a shot, see if that works well for us to manage a hobby-project (non-profit) we're running in our spare time. Looks quite neat :)
>I think the article was quite fine

Yes but based on what you write, you don't know much about geophysics. Sorry to be so blunt but that's just the sort of audience these articles are aimed at. They don't even explain how it would be done, it's like writing an article about how scientists plan to go to Mars in two years. Complete fantasy but the problem is people never do follow-up research on all the bs articles they read on a daily basis, and thus never realize how many lies and exaggerations they're being fed.
No like proving they are your kids and not somebody else’s. It would also allow for more trusted adoption procedures. And let parents buy/sell children more securely without government intervention.
I want something I can wear on a flight and forget about my environment. I want to block out light entirely. Seems like Vision Pro is the best option for this. I’m hoping Apple will surprise us and steam vr gaming will be possible…
What's your definition of genocide?

Surely when every major genocide researcher and lawyer, human rights groups, etc are all shouting at the top of their lungs that this is the worst genocide this century, you'd try a little harder to make your case.

I call what's happening in Gaza and the WB genocide. Clearly, and to a horrific degree.

I have nightmares about it that linger with me for weeks. I've seen full HD horrors and atrocities being committed for 92 days now.

I've seen outrageous lies - beheaded babies, mass rapes - promulgated by corporate media and even the POTUS, all as a thousand very real babies have been murdered. Netanyahu is still repeating the beheaded babies lie. It's farcical, and I truly believe that only a highly deranged mind could fall for it. And yet at least 80% of Israelis think there hasn't been enough violence. It's a horror beyond comprehension.

I don't get why people are tolerating such genocide denial tbh. It's nice that we're so polite here, but like ... read the room. And by the room, I mean the vast majority of every single population outside of Israel; who all want the same thing: just stop killing so many people Israel, ffs.

Just stop killing people, and treat them like humans. It's not a big ask. It's not political. It's important, and if you try to tell people not to talk about it you can expect pushback.
What would you highlight? The big thing from my perspective was that there are no channels in the original CSP. There's just synchronization on shared events. Asynchronous queues are a good way of delaying deadlocks!
It may have been a pain 2001, but it certainly was much better than Windows XP to install around 2006 or 2007, I remember.

I had an IBM R51 (many years old at that point), which used to take 2 hours+ to install Windows XP, and it was always very slow to use. I installed a bunch of different Linuxes over the years and it extended the life of the laptop significantly. Most Linux installers already had a good GUI installer on the Live CD at that point.
Not currently I have enabled it and quickly went back as the DE would crash (running gnome on pop!_os)
So that’s where all the diabetic rice comes from.
Signature edition
It introduced theme support through, so first thing I always did was to switch to the Windows 2000 theme.
Another tactic, for example, is learn what your MBTI is and tailor stories that resonate with your personality.
What does “state level powers” even mean? And they’re hardly “opaque”, at least not any more than any other publicly traded company is, and held to similar account.

What do you think they do that’s so above-and-beyond what a non-government organization should be able to do? I wonder if you’re falling for a lot of the marketing hype…
Looks a lot like KDE to me
If you think 0 or 1 based indexing will hinder your ability to write a program, it's not the indexing, it's a skill issue.
When they opened the Control Panel and didn't immediately Switch to Classic View, I had a surprisingly visceral reaction.
I didn’t make any claim about Apple’s motives. I just said that the batteries weren’t defective.

Also, this isn’t a fine, it’s a settlement.
That's not to do with the porn. But with the trafficking and coercion. Those are separate things, and those are already illegal (hence the convictions).

Most people in porn (and prostitution, for that matter) do the work voluntarily.
Open shell could definitely benefit from some screenshots.

For retrobar, at least, there is a screenshot on the first line of the readme (it really does just look like the windows XP, windows 98, etc. taskbar nothing special going on).
Do not take it as a judgment of your work, it's instead a broad observation using your work as a catalyzer to state it: I have much more integration with a much older app, it's name is Emacs, in my case it feature:

- a Windows Manager, module named EXWM

- a very powerful noting tool, org-mode

- integrate to the note module there is file attachments, calendar, tasks, ...

- a mail module, notmuch in my case, fully usable inside the note tool, so I can link a single message, a thread or a search query in a note, something simple as notmuch-search:tag:unread that open all my unread messages.

- of course being a fully user programmable environment a mere link can execute code, meaning I have a clickable link to transform a note into a slide (zpresent, my favorite, but a mere zoom might suffice in most cases), a link can open a mail compose buffer and so on

- I have various nice file handling goodies like mass renaming, regex selection and so on.

This since DECADES. Now ending the joke the statement: classic desktop model feature an OS witch is a complete user-programming environment, apps are just bits of code, listings part of the OS, meaning that if you have a CAS functionality you can solve an ODE inside an email you compose, annotating it while composing and made a slide out of it. Take a look at https://youtu.be/B6jfrrwR10k for Emacs, a demo for Pharo (a modern Smalltalk, the oldest of such classic desktop systems from Xerox) https://youtu.be/Pot9GnHFOVU and so on.

The statement is simple: for COMMERCIAL REASONS we tried to subdivide and isolate software to sell it in pieces, oh, for decades people have SUFFERED without knowing the existence of alternatives such crappy model, a step at a time, with decades of time in between old features are reintroduced selling them as news while they aren't, and only when someone have found a way to made them anti-user.

Your project actually use one of such step, the modern web, witch is a limited and limiting anti-user version of classic DocUIs, since the user have essentially no practical control of them, at least not a comfy one, and rediscover the power of integration, but limited due to the limitation of today tools. Not made do mix data and code, not made for end-users programming and so on. I've no doubt it can succeed simply because it's a piece of an ancient tech we need, but the point remain: modern software is untenable and it block an enormous slice of potential innovation and computing power just to enslave users.
Bearing in mind that it is practically impossible to both operate a publicly accessible website and avoid getting hacked if someone wants you bad enough, who gets sued when this incredibly sensitive PII is inevitably stolen? Websites who didn't want to store it in the first place, but were legally required to do so, or the government who required them to? I'm not an Irish lawyer, but I have a guess.
Of course I am serious. How can you not be fascinated by the Roman Empire from the tiny village origins to the eventual collapse. There’s so much history and innovation that no other culture was able to offer.
Yeah, you're absolutely right, there are definitely drawbacks that are bigger than me (secondary smoke, giving money to a horrible industry, costing taxpayers more health-care and so on), but I'm pretty sure me driving a diesel car every day might have a even bigger effect. And if I travel to the other side of the planet in an airplane a year, I'll already done a lot of harm to the environment indirectly, probably way more than both me and my cigarettes could ever do.

The only thing I can do is minimize the harm. I don't smoke next to others outside, I use tobacco made by smaller company with no additives, I never throw the fag-end on the streets and so on.
There are a lot of famous singers that don't dance on stage. Neil Young, Kurt Cobain, Geddy Lee, Bob Dylan. Having a sense of rhythm and a good ear just aren't enough to make you a good dancer.
Seattle's 2021 budget was $5.5B against a population of 734k or about $7,500/head. Bellevue, WA's 2021 budget was $1.7B for a population of 149k, or $11,400/head. To pick a random DC suburb as a comparison, Alexandria's 2021 budget was $955M for a population of 155k or about $6,200/head.
Yup. I have two separate playbooks for my laptop and desktop for all the quirky shit that needs to happen to get a working install.

Yes, you can get to a usable desktop pretty quickly. But getting everything right is still an hour or better process, post-install, in 2024.
>>Well you‘re making the error of assuming that charging the PHEV before a trip is required

No, I'm literally going off what the manufacturer said - 1000km range when the battery charge and fuel tank are combined. That's it.

People keep making comparisons for shorter trips, for driving with an empty battery, for driving on battery range only etc etc etc - all of it misses the point I'm making.

>>I doubt many people drive a big part of their mileage electric by plugging in).

If they don't, then why buy a PHEV at all? If you have a PHEV and never plug it in, then your efficiency will be worse than that of a simple MHEV or even a straight up ICE-only car.
Not OP but I had a Late 2007 Core 2 Duo with 4G ram that could hold its own 3 years ago.

It was not comfortable but definitely usable (unlike a 2005 Imac G5 for example).

A 2013 4th gen i5 laptop with a SSD (major difference in trems of experience) and 8GB Ram remains totally usable for regular stuff (watching movies, Youtube, browsing the web, basic dev work)
The plastic body is generally what fails before everything else.

As long you have at least four cores, 4GB Ram, linux and above all a SSD you should be fine
I'm sure the chemists can come up with something in the ballpark of graphite/wood/carbon fiber which we can use as a building material so that we can stop cutting down trees to make our houses.
In that incident there was also a great deal of people not caring/paying attention because it happened to people who "aren't like us".
How to Find and Hire Full Stack Developers in 2024
This article makes a strong point for calling it LLM instead.

"AI" is too broadly used. The string of if-then that powers the opponents in a video game is already called "AI". Hell, I refer to the automatic opponents in board games "AI". If we got AGI, I think we should call it something else than "artificial intelligence", which has always meant more "fake" than "human-made".
What city are you from?
This, and too much padding/margin
Not to mention that everything that depends on an MS account (like the Store) is broken, and these days even adding a second keyboard layout post-installation requires "downloading features from the store".
I have started to at least write 4-5 bullet points per month of my job in my personal notes as a reminder of what stuff I have done. I find I will remember a lot of details as long as I have notes that remind me that a project even existed or an event happened. That has been enough for me.
Progress: jail for everyone. Certainly modern life has dangerous tripwires. I just had to google the words for the acronym CSAM - and as a non-citizen it made me double-think about surveillance.

Maybe add a couple more paras to your comment?

If you give me six sentences written by the most innocent of men, I will find something in them with which to hang them.

> Likewise, a faculty committee at the University of California system — led by Dr. Henry Sánchez, a pathologist, and Eddie Comeaux, a professor of education — concluded in 2020 that test scores were better than high school grades at predicting student success in the system’s nine colleges, where more than 230,000 undergraduates are enrolled. The relative advantage of test scores has grown over time, the committee found.

Interesting, given the UC system is not merely test-optional, but refuses to consider test scores at all. I wonder if that will change, if even their faculty committees are recognizing the superior predictive value of tests over GPA.

My guess is that they might create their own test, but that it would not have a purely academic score. It would have the “adversity score” of the SAT built in, and impossible to separate out.

Of course, making a second test for students to take would disproportionately affect kids with fewer resources in terms of test prep, which would be counterproductive to the UC’s stated goals regarding equity.
Many of this tracks cross big cities. Doubling the rails in those places would need to demolish thousands of extant buildings

Wasn't aware of this. Can you please link to some more similar job ads? Is this the standard in other militaries too?

Based on what I know there is a roster of eligible candidates with the required experience in most countries. One of them is promoted from there to fill in the vacancy. I've never seen an ad for a post like this before.
The difference in quality of the game designers who worked on the original AoE2 versus AoE2:DE is pretty apparent. I think what is most annoying to me is how much harder it is to parse the visual information of "what kind of unit am I fighting" now that the graphics are "better".
Sometimes, if you wait for a couple of days and try fresh on a different IP/browser, it may work. No guarantees but has happened to me before. Google is finicky like that.
True that, stand up is hard. I did a little bit and it would take me several hours to just get 1 or 2 minutes of content. And it was still hit or miss. Plus, when a good idea popped into my head, I felt like only had about 10 minutes to write it down or else I would just forget it.

Add to that the discipline of delivering the lines with the right timing, tone and pace.

Stand up comedians are some of the smartest people I've come across. Also, they're some of the most f'd up people i've met too. Its a weird combo, but I like them a lot.
it's weird because the business purpose already streamlines products for capitalism and not some hard limit on resources and regulations try to do the same but with different inputs but the same artificial boundaries.
