According to the marketing copy on the website, this Captcha system is both open source and perfect in just about every way.

I'm not capable of judging it myself (*) but look forward to people who are able to review and tell people like me whether it's really as good as it claims.

(*) Though I will note that the 18+9 example it gave me a) successfully tricked ChatGPT's image recognition into believing that 18 was the only number anywhere in the image and b) while it's a simple sum for me, there is a non-zero percent of humans who do have difficulty when it comes to even the simplest of sums.
The real "hack" lies in the IKEA STARKVIND air filters.

They're from a reputable manufacturer, are HEPA filters, and best of all, they only cost $14.99 CAD (price may vary in your country). This makes them great as *replacement filters for other air purifiers*. This is one of the things I love the most about IKEA - hackable IKEA products are available worldwide and can be easily sourced and adapted as "materials" instead of "products".

The Starkvind air purifier appears to be airflow-constrained on the fan, and not the filters they used. I put its filter (with some cardboard glued to the edges to seal the difference in size) in a Coway Mighty AP-1512HH (often recommended) and have not noticed a huge decrease in airflow at all, even though technically there is less filter area. Based on rudimentary measurements with an anemometer, the airflow is acceptable, and after about a year or more of continuous use, it's lost about 10% of the airflow after I recently changed it.

Even better, if you are so inclined, you can buy several STARKVIND filters and cut them to size/merge multiple if your purifier takes different size filters. And if you have a smaller purifier, IKEA also has the FORNUFTIG (thinner) filter for $7 that you can similarly hack.

This is simply untrue for the Jan 2023 Alphabet layoffs. Entire orgs (>200 FTE) were let go regardless of individual performance.
This is hilarious. I got halfway through this and thought “this sounds like Simon Sarris” then looked at the id.
Couple of problems here. So let’s say you use one of the chips running at 25 uA (lowest run mode). First of all the does not include any peripherals. UART/i2c/timer/adc/dac don’t run in that example. And god forbid you want to do RF!
Then we also need to allocate power to rest of the board. The power supply is going to have quiescent (30uA if not more… probably more as it’s probably a HV source). Then you need to allocate power to sensors and rest of board, and the uA go fast.

Dolphin-mixtral is incredible for the size that it is. But I'm curious, have you tried Goliath-120b or the new `Mixtral_34Bx2_MoE_60B` (it's named Mixtral but the base is actually Yi).

Goliath is too big for my system but Mixtral_34Bx2_MoE_60B[1] is giving me some really good results.

best of luck to your imagined future; but it reads very naive to me.
Well, maybe there's a deeper truth to qp11's statement:

I completely agree that moving to the tech city _du jour_ caters to the demographic of mid-20 "anywheres". Having a family, long-term friends or obligations such as elderly care rules you out. Or god forbid: A time-consuming hobby or in general something apart from work that gives meaning to your life.

And that's exactly the point! You only get those high wages when you put in the 60–80 hours a week (or 40 very focused hours a week) that you can spend if you live for your work. To the employer, such dependent, driven employees are very valuable. Much more than some family father who comes in for 20 hours a week and is often tired and just wants to get back home to play with his children.
This part of the readme makes me a bit worried:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MegaManSec/SSH-Snake/main/Snake.nocomments.sh | stdbuf -o0 bash

Combined with the admission that the tool is intended for hacking, I would be concerned that it would suddenly start to phone home with all keys and hosts at some point after users have started using it.
My struggle with it is mainly that it doesn’t seem to accomplish any of its goals very well, while having really big downsides. A few examples:

It’s difficult to use it for circumventing government controls, since so many of the on and off ramps are subject to regulation and it’s difficult (and expensive) to transact truly anonymously.

It sucks as a store of value since it’s so volatile.

Similar to the point above, it’s increasing subject to government regulation (namely the US) in a de facto sense.

The UX sucks, and mistakes can be super punishing. If you make a mistake then you have no recourse and everyone will applaud the code working as intended, unless the mistake is really big in which case the “code as law” folks will fork the network to rollback the mistake.

In the same vein as the item above, scams are rampart and there is very little recourse once scammed. As a result, it’s tough to see actual widespread adoption as a currency (and not just a speculative asset sitting in a brokerage account somewhere) since the level of technical sophistication needed to use it as a currency without risking wiping yourself out puts it way out of reach of most people.

It sucks for transactions, since the fees are so high and make small transactions bit feasible.

Proof of work sucks and is super wasteful.

There are probably plenty of other ways it misses the mark I’m missing as well. It frustrates me because it feels so fatally flawed, but people take it so seriously. If popular sentiment was that BTC was just a fun thing to speculate on, in the same realm as TSLA or buying short dated calls on the VIX, I would be totally on board! But trying to act like it’s a serious currency that can compete with USD or whatever just seems somewhat delusional. I think blockchain and ETH style smart contracts are super cool tech, and could have super productive applications that legitimately make the world a better, more efficient place, but BTC in its current form doesn’t check that box for me.
This is one of the reasons why newer, "sealed" buildings need to be mechanically ventilated (ideally with a HRV or ERV to keep your HVAC waste to a minimum).
"I'm sure my perceptions were colored by being at a Gymnasium, but I did also interact with kids from other schools."

I was at a gymnasium as well ... and we were drinking with the teachers on occasions.

"However the data I've found says alcoholism is about twice as prevelant in the USA as in Germany. Healthiness of drinking behavior isn't all all or nothing thing but a spectrum."

It is of course possible, that you have it even worse. But my point was that I cannot confirm, that we have a healthy drinking culture in germany. We do have a drinking culture and some of it may prevent some escapades, but all in all I do not think it is healthy as indeeds promotes regular drinking as something normal.

"It's also possible (indeed likely) that many of the Germans kids I knew started drinking before 16 and that accounts for some of the differences I observed."

Very likely. We started with beer with 12 ... and the first time totally drunk was with 14.

"tendency to celebrate and brag about losing control, especially among the young for whom it is more novel"

And this was (and still is) totally a thing as well.
I think BMI is a little confusing when it is applied to some categories of healthy individuals like endurance athletes and others. When I ran (a lot) in my early to mid-twenties my BMI was always "underweight". Yet I have never felt better.

The same probably goes for climbers. Some of the climbers I know are inredibly lean and their BMI is certainly not in the "normal weight" range. Yet they are able to push their bodies to incredible feats.

All that is to say, I suppose BMI stops to be useful at some point while, at the same time, it may be a good instrument to measure your progress during weight loss. It can be both useful and not, depending on who you apply it to.

No, I do not want everyone to be forced to drive--a reality that many are discussing in this thread but you choose to ignore.

The mandate is accomplished with parking minimums, federal highway subsidies.

I cannot find an apartment in my community that does not have a parking space--it has been illegal to build such a unit of housing for decades.

The amount of publicly owned real estate that is given for free to car owners to store their cars is worth trillions.

And you tell me I'm being paternalistic :)
What is the win for a group to organize this? Is it an advertisement of capabilities to be sold? Training exercise?

> If you're ambitious/hungry enough

You spelled "exploitable" wrong.
What's the theory under which the company would get involved in your housing dispute?
It does and it works great, but it’s about twice as expensive. The cheaper one, on the other hand, has zero smart features, and the only dial on the top directly controls the speed of the fan, with nice mechanical steps. So you can preselect the speed and then cut power as needed with your smart outlet. That’s, unfortunately, not the norm anymore. My cheap dehumidifier has no smart features, but is sufficiently complicated with its programs and buttons that it resets after a power cut.
I could count the number of startups I’m aware of building on Java on one hand, after a wood chipper accident. For perf it’s rust, for web it’s Go or node/deno/bun for single front/back language.

I agree. I find it hard to believe that anyone who's actually studied and probed the limitations of LLMs and AI art generators actually believes that AI is going to take anyone's job anytime soon. That might have spurred some of the layoffs last spring, but, today, I absolutely do not believe it is.

That said, I have heard crazy stories from some people, like one CTO who was saying that "90% of code in [their] company would be written by AI" by the end of this year. And, there definitely has been a very palpable slowdown in hiring.

Let's put it this way: I applied for 50 jobs the first week of last month and got very little response. I've had three on-sites that didn't seem terribly difficult, yet no offer. I've had another 2 or 3 opportunities basically evaporate in front of me as the companies decided they were not going to hire at all, or changed their mind about what they were looking for. Two years ago, I might have applied to a total of maybe 30 over 2-4 months, and I'd have gotten probably at least 12-15 interviews, most of which would have probably turned into on-sites.

I'm starting to get more activity in my inbox now that the first of the year's rolled around. Let's hope it holds up long enough for me to land an offer :-)
With quantum computing growing rapidly, aren't all blockchains in danger of being decrypted and drained in the future?
That really sucks. Sounds like the ventilation system is poorly designed.

I wish that all modern buildings had properly sized FTX / air handling units. These exchange the old air with new air using the heat from the old to warm up the new air and at the same time can have HEPA filters for cleaning the air.
Maybe it does not matter for you. I have a big history file and with fzf that saves me a lot of time in remembering/rewriting commands.
Same applies to bitcoin - no more net value needs to be invested into bitcoin and the USD price will continue to increase at ~7%, which is the rate at which the USD is being devalued through supply inflation over the last 100 years.

If I lent my bitcoin to ABC Gold Mining like you have, then I could expect to additionally receive interest on my loan.

That is annoying as a user. I guess they remove content because of the contracts they have.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have all content on all platforms, and then when content is watched the creators receive a money payment? Not sure if that is feasible though, storing content also has a cost. To make it simpler they could switch from subscription fees to a fee based on views.
maybe we will see "only human eyes can see your data" vs "no automated tools can see your data" in the future
Aren't the vast majority of market participants already operating outside the blockchain, relying on exchanges and sometimes on so-called "L2" networks like Lightning? I think the majority of Bitcoin and Ethereum proponents are already talking about them as "digital gold" instead of digital currency. The mining pools have also blocked any attempt to make the Bitcoin blockchain more efficient at transactions (by keeping the block size small), so on-chain trading is doomed to remain an extremely low-rate event for the foreseeable future. Is it still at 7-10 transactions/second globally?

So overall it seems quite easy to force the matter and implement KYC and AML for msot legal Bitcoin transactions.

Base salary is a relatively small component of your pay once you've been at Google more than 2 or 3 years. For me it is roughly 30% of my total comp after three years, without any crazy performance ratings or promos. Does the government even give bonuses?
The carbon filters in this machine are fairly sparsely filled and don't have a significant amount of carbon in them. Typically replacement is recommended after about 6 months or so, but I've found that with heavy use, similar filters last only a month or so before losing effectiveness. It has to do with how much odor and VOC is present in the area you are using the filter in, as well as how much it is running.

I made my own filters with over 2-3x the carbon by weight (bought from Amazon) in them, and they last about 2-3 months before they start emitting an odd smell (but they still seem to reduce odor, but they are no doubt trading new smells for older ones as they fill up).

I usually change the filters as soon as the smell becomes odd, in my case, the smell is like a slightly sour and damp version of the fresh and dry chocolatey smell that they sometimes have when new.

One specific case I have in mind I think it came from the company mostly hiring fresh graduates and seniors indoctrinating them with their blind and badly aged structured programming rules.
The finance industry expects people to work way harder then tech, but the E.V. is usually less. Yes, there are stories about quants making 7 figures, but that's exceedingly rare now compared to the early 2ks. The people who had this aptitude and skillset would have thrived in tech anyways. For example, Jeff Bezos used to be a trader.

There was even a window of time where people in finance saw how the grass was greener in tech.

It just happened to be that the finance industry is mature, whereas tech was nascent, with a skills shortage during a period of exponential growth. The pool of graduates studying CS has grown an order of magnitude, while demand for jobs has contracted.

What we are seeing is the tech industry maturing. The golden era of tech is over. Tech will just be another middle class job. Tech will only be slightly better than other middle class white collar jobs, but it will no longer be the be the guaranteed path to being a millionaire after 5-10 years of working.

No, per-seat cost for these kinds of things is ALWAYS cheaper than retail. However it does require you to set up a meeting with a sales rep who will then work tirelessly to expand the number of services you use and require longer commitments etc. With “enterprise” pricing, the sticker price is just the opening number in a negotiation, and basic theory tells us that the opening number must be large since it sets a ceiling.

I feel no desire to use dynamic typing again, as nice as Clojure might otherwise be. While Kotlin is not strictly immutable, it is much better in this regard than Java. Collections are immutable by default in Kotlin (or more precisely you get an immutable view defined by the respective interface) and that is quite useful in practice.
How is that the fault of the game? I never experienced any such thing during the dozens of times I played with different groups, including family. The idea of trying to cheat in a board game also seems absurd, to be honest. If there were real prize money - ok, that would at least make sense. But what's the point of deceiving family members over toy cash?

I'll say though that your experience might be in line with how the original game was intended. It was supposed to teach people about the evils of large-scale land grabbing.

no, pattern matching is more like destructuring AS CONDITIONS (eg: if object has this structure) of switch blocks. While destructuring is simply sugar for assignment, pattern matching is more complex. I don't know about Java but in some languages you can customize the pattern so that it is not neccessarily in the actual shape of the object. In some languages applying pattern matching at the top level of the function is the equivalence of overloading.
It's basically just web components without the ShadowDOM implementation.

> But yeah, the C standard is just the minimal common subset of what C compilers offer.

Why is this? Most other standards — for languages or otherwise — seem to run ahead of implementation, as meetings of major players agreeing on what they'll all implement next, with the standard constraining the implementations on how to do that.

But the C standard is seemingly instead just an external, descriptivist report on "what you can get away with writing in C while keeping it completely portable."
