hello,

as alsways: imho. ...

i personally have a heavy preference for the "good old" TLDs ... a la .com/.net/.org & the ccTLDs.

in short: the ones before the "cambrian explosion" of TLDs ... where every crap suddenly moonlighted as a TLD ... *eye rolling*

but .dev is one of the better ones out of the huge number of new ones ;))

so: why not!? everybody likes to fight spamfilters ... :/

I am not counting them out. In fact I’m hoping for, if nothing else, a working Siri better than the alternatives.

On the page http://www.abykus.com/screenshots.htm there is a link using the text “planner” that refers to a page http://www.abykus.com/retirement.htm that apparently doesn’t exist.

This makes me sad since I wanted the Amortization Schedule spreadsheet that is said to be available on that page.
The battery market is not yet mature enough for this. When the big car manufacturers have all had another decade's experience selling EVs, and battery tech has stabilized, the logic of standardization and swapping will become apparent.
Do you have a bank account? FedNow (US instant payments) just crossed the 400 financial institution mark, a little less than 5% of total US banks and credit unions (~9k), and it’s only been live for ~7 months.

Naw, you just need to buy a PHEV. That is what YOU, special unique snowflake (non political variant) would like.
That’s an interesting thought. I always assumed they went for the upscale market because that’s where the profit margin is. But also, it does seem to let them pull in a ton of profit while not ever becoming a monopoly or the dominant player.

I think they are only the majority in tablets, right? And tablets seem to be, oddly enough, a bit stagnant.
Yes. And most of that is not associated with petroleum. It's fracking of formations that contain only natural gas, no petroleum. Fracking is also used on oil-bearing formations, but not only there.

I don’t know how tech sales work so I’m speaking from an uneducated place here - but is 4.5 months enough time to close any sales?

I imagine that at least a month of that 4.5 months is spent onboarding and shadowing someone else to see how the company handles sales. I also imagine that any tech sales right now are difficult to close given the shrinking customer base due to the number of startups that are folding. And just from my experience being a customer in these engagements - sometimes these sales do take a while to close, since there’s a trial period and figuring out if the product is actually a good fit for the company before the sale goes through. You factor in the time it takes for companies to do the legal/compliance review… it probably takes minimum a quarter to close some of these deals.

Anyway, just trying to get at the fact that her not closing anything isn’t necessarily indicative of poor performance given the context.
Symbolic computation. Yeah, I guess you can do it in SymPy, but it's more painful.

It's a really pleasant environment for certain type of work.

The only thing missing is better type systems.
> The employee admits having closed zero sales.

You clearly have no experience in sales--especially enterprise sales.

1) No responsible sales organization is going to let a brand new hire alone with a client under 6 months.

2) You aren't selling shit to enterprise from Mid-November until after the first week of January.

3) She barely had a single quarter to get some company to add her to a budget and close a sale. No chance.
Did we read the same article? The author didn't say that.
With JavaScript you could make it a three state toggle: light, dark, and auto. The last one would allow to to back to the default - no preference.

I thought this might use indeterminate checkbox, but that wouldn't be necessary. 'Light', 'dark', and lack of thereof in localStorage already amount to three distinct states.

Who, exactly, do you think is going to "think twice" next time?

It's a bummer, but this is how this has been done for decades (generations?) and everybody knows it's how it's done, and that has in no way made companies "think twice" about business leaders assigning fairly low level employees or consultants to do these meetings just like this.

There was a whole gag about exactly this in one of the last few episodes of Succession just recently. There have been popular movies about this ("Up in the Air", with George Clooney, is about this, if memory serves). It's not, like, a secret that this is how it works.

It sucks, but no, this video going "viral" is not going to change anything.

Fascinating to see how far people are willing to go to not name the root cause: technology itself. It’s unthinkable to so many that modern technology as a whole may in fact be a bad idea.

Exemplar of humility.
I agree. The trend in Europe is actually the opposite, with point-to-point now considered the winning approach. Consumer preference for this modality is actually a significant factor in the dramatic rise of low-cost carriers (Ryanair, easyJet, etc). Hub-and-spoke is obviously still around, particularly for intercontinental flights, but the commercial failure of the giant A380 indicates where the market actually is.
Actually in the EV world BMW is known for the longevity of its batteries. BMW had EVs in the market already in 2013-2014, the BMW i3. And the reported degradation of those batteries has been minimal.

BMW is currently having all excellent EV cars, and that’s even with shared architecture with their ICE counterparts. Specially their electrical motors are above everyone else’s, due to the lack of permanent magnets, which allows for finer control of their power and instant disconnection. I am expecting to BMW to beat Tesla completely when they finally offer their dedicated EV platform in 2025-2026.

Well, speaking of airplane industry one thing is obvious - you can’t build great airplanes without money and you can’t get large sums of money without building great airplanes. The survival/prosperity question is of balance, not of preference of one to another.

I do not know why the author decided to “simplify” things. In my field of experience such simplifications end very badly. I guess if someone decided to really just build great airplanes no matter the costs - his enterprise would have ended very badly too.

Now, the question of finding a proper balance, as each engineer knows - this is the question of real pain and real beauty. But - is it possible to write an article about a struggle to find a proper balance in something? anything? Will anyone read such an article? Imagine, how many things should be explained before the problem becomes clear…

Why does the company have a say in whether or not a former employee can collect unemployment?
Because they let go of a lot of moderation team and I could see my obviously-bannable reports rejected. (Saying some minority doesn't deserve to live, apparently doesn't break rules after the takeover)

Also obvious scams are still rampant. Say you have a problem with a crypto wallet and you'll get lots of bots offering "help". Not solved for many years.

And yeah, as the sibling comment mentions, those are arbitrary chosen numbers from the company itself. Do you expect them to publicly advertise they're doing badly in some way?

You must have worked in some shitty companies. HR is treated differently in different companies. The ones you worked in sound like companies where the HR department has some incestuous relationship with the C-suite (or more likely, the owner). That's not the norm for all companies; in better-run companies, HR only functions at the pleasure of the departments that actually make money. So if a hiring manager wants to hire someone, that person gets hired (assuming the department head supports the decision), and any problems from HR result in the department head (for instance, engineering) going to the CEO and telling them to do something about HR.

I've seen horror stories about companies like yours on places like glassdoor.com. Those are places to be avoided at all costs.
Why do we say Bitcoin Cash is the "real" Bitcoin?
I can understand a lot of the hate that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general gets on this forum. For most it is now a get rich quick scheme and those who have been inundated into the cult are quick to downplay it's shortcomings.

But Bitcoin was not built to make money for anyone it was built to be money.

The very title of the Bitcoin white paper has long since been outdated as it was referred to a peer-to-peer digital Cash system that would have low fees and instant transactions is a distant cry from what it has become. Now with high fees and taking from 10 minutes to several hours for transaction to clear it has become completely useless as digital cash. What is bizarre is that this is no coincidence or fault of the protocol. The changes that were introduced into the Bitcoin code base were deliberately put there by the developers who had hijacked control of the GitHub repo most of whom worked for the for-profit company called Blockstream.

Two hacks in particular were introduced years ago that invalidated the cash use case for Bitcoin namely something called replaced by fee and another called segwit. Both reduce the usefulness of Bitcoin by making it either more expensive or less useful.

However before these chain breaking hacks were introduced a fork was made of the repository which is now called Bitcoin Cash, BCH. Bitcoin cash is nothing more than the original code base and vision of Bitcoin that has been carried forward for over a decade now. There is one simple difference between the two projects. The former has high transaction fees and low transaction speed purpose-built into the protocol well the latter sticks with the original road map by incrementally increasing the block size as needed to keep transactions quick and cheap.

Only one of these two projects looks anything like the original and the other is a twisted useless get rich quick scheme managed by a for-profit company with only themselves in mind.
Find it pretty helpful as a math-adjacent academic. It's great at coming up with counterexamples to inequalities with FindInstance. I don't know how irreplaceable it is, but in general I find the UI for manipulating symbolic equations nicer to use than anything else I've tried.
That is very VERY dependent on the industry and the type of work you do.

Completely rubbish in some lines of service.
BBEdit.

I’ve been through a few… TextMate, Sublime. Used various IDEs heavily at various points. Used VS Code. Used Emacs (+ accumulated a long .emacs). Used Vim.

BBEdit is the general go-to for me on the Mac. On Linux, it’s Emacs. In the terminal, it’s Vim.

Back in the 1990s, BBEdit completely outclassed IDEs and most other editors. I’d even have a project open in an IDE, but be editing the source code in BBEdit. BBEdit could send commands to the open IDE to compile or run your project. Other editors have mostly caught up to 1990s BBEdit, so it’s not such a big deal any more, but it’s still a solid editor.
I've loved BBEdit for decades now.

Now I'm reading about BBEdit plus ChatGPT? Headsplode!
Can you explain the steps you have to take if you want to move through your house without the lights?

Is the switch always "on" and the sensor then turns on the light and you just have to turn the switch "off"?

And then if the switch is turned "off" will you need to first turn it "on" again in order to make the automation work properly again?
Because they're people who are also just trying to do a job. I'm sure there are some sadists out there who take pleasure in this kind of meeting, but I'm just as sure that for every one of those, there are a hundred (or a thousand) people for whom this is the worst part of their job, who go home and hug their kids with watery eyes at the end of a day that was horrible for them.

You aren't mad at them, you're mad at the people making the decisions that are upstream of these meetings.
I remember one result from Csmith, the C compiler random tester. It finds bugs in any C compiler that has never been randomly tested. But when they checked to see if it increased coverage over (just) ordinary compiler test suites, they found no significant increase in coverage.

> It's extremely asymmetrical, too.

I’ve lived a very different culture than you in the U.S. - to the degree I’m surprised to see you express this sentiment.

In days of yore, people gave notice. But then a meme policy of “don’t poison the well” did the rounds. Roughly, the philosophy went: when someone is leaving they can only do harm; they are leaving, they have a convincing reason for leaving, and you don’t want that convincing reason to sour your other employees on you.

The result was that, when you gave notice, you were immediately dismissed on the spot.

In my career, I’ve seen a few people give very generous (months) notice. They were expecting to be _paid_ for the period of time they’d given notice for. But they found themselves terminated that day.

The result, in my circles, is that people often hide their intention to leave until the day they’re leaving. When they send their notice, they’ve already quit. Any time they get paid for is gravy, but they’re out the door.

The market is mature enough to have standards for charging, but is nowhere near being mature for battery swaps. The charging problem will be solved long before battery swaps get close to being a thing, especially with the recent convergence on NACS.
This is the true wisdom. However, the industry needed to realize this fact about 5 years after the Prius/Insight hit the market in 1997ish.

Now? You have a choice as a carmaker: invest 50 billion dollars into PHEVs which will be mere stepping stones to then having to invest ANOTHER 50 billion dollars into EVs, or you just bite the bullet now and do the 50 billion ICE-EV upgrade. Figures obviously arbitrary.

If our government was smart, it would have taken one look at the Prius/Insight, realized that every single commodity consumer vehicle should use that architecture (for the regen braking alone) and mandated it to be in all cars/trucks by 2010.

Oh well. It's too late now.
I just don't want to have two computers, one for FPGA development and one for everything else. It would make my life easier to put everyone on one machine.

I appreciate all the comments here and think the performance hit could be too much.
A multitude of factors.

One thing to keep in mind though is that even if AI can't do your job, if it can translate conversations with humans who can buy have a different primary language, and companies have moved to work from home, that's a recipe for jobs going to qualified people elsewhere.

So on top of a pendulum swing backwards from overhiring we're seeing accessibility and virtual commuting open the door for many more candidates for a smaller pool of jobs which compounds the effects.
>In the future they will most likely be hooking up some LLM super computer to the home. In that case it can only be online.

Well, not necessarily. The open source LLMs i.e. Mistral/Llama 2 can be run offline if you have a good consumer grade GPU.

I'd like to see an open source LLM control home devices Alexa style.
GPT-4 was introduced just less than a year ago. Development didn't stop. It doesn't mean that AI will invent something, but mimicking existing works is easy. After all most humans writing is just this. There are real works, while most is just a flood of some gray mass. These writers can use AI and there will be no difference. Another category is autobiographies written by celebrities with no writing skills. Today they use human coauthors, but soon AI will be doing text expansion and style correction just as well.

BTW, "good" is subjective metrics. As soon as it's known to be AI generated it becomes average at best. Just like with images today. Nobody is trying to find 'hidden depth' in them.

> She says she was hired 4.5 months ago and

She also says that every 1:1 she's had with her manager has been positive.

I would expect in a circumstance where an employee is actually underperforming that they would not have been told otherwise during their regular performance meetings.
Also, the move to virtual commuting plus better translation automation means a much larger potential candidate pool to compete against than before.
Indeed, I'm speaking to the modern mythologized usage of "invisible hand," which scarcely resembles Smith's original conception.

It’s certainly the best of the symbolic computational tools that I’ve tried. However, my problem with such tools is that that they work great for simple examples in my experience but scaling them to work with non-trivial systems is rough. It may be user error on my part, but the path between simple and complex is non-obvious.

In this video, he takes the linked, published paper, and walks through what it contains. Repeatedly, he suggests one look at the paper itself, and validate what he's saying.

This tends to be his style, and after reading the wikipedia discussion page, I do wonder how much of his "misleading commentary" was "he said something not in line with official stances re: COVID".

From the Wikipedia talk page:

This article oddly references "American comedian" and podcaster 4 times as having referenced a Campbell video to make unfounded claims. Aren't these issues better suited to an article about Jimmy Dore? If, as this article claims, Dore is making false claims, why does it belong here? Flat Earthers have used Flight Aware images to bolster their claims but Wikipedia doesn't include that in the FlightAware article.

I have edited Wikipedia articles before, only to have every edit reverted, only to have gatekeepers leap in and refuse change, even mild changes. Regardless, whether or not the gatekeepers of the Wikipedia page are correct, the accusations against Campbell are not relevant to the paper in question.
Me too -- same exact story with using ResEdit as a kid to customize menus, dialogs, graphics! Then one day I found a "Super ResEdit" which did all the same things as the original but also disassembled a program's binary code into the 68k assembly.

It took a while for me to understand that I could do anything with that (or might want to do anything with that), but eventually I realized that there were descriptive names for sections (function names!), and that there were patterns in the list of opaque words like "CMP" was usually followed by a "BEQ" or "BNE", and hovering over one of the latter two would pop up an arrow to another line, just like if I hovered over a "BRANCH" -- aha, "CMP" must be "compare" and then "BEQ" is branch-if-equal, and "BNE" is branch-if-not-equal!

That was approximately the first time I realized that computer programs weren't magic, that they were complicated things built out of simpler things, and that it was possible in principle to see and understand the simpler things.

Then I realized I could change how it worked, just like changing the menu bar or graphics, by changing the corresponding hex codes next to the words! First time was to find a section like "checkIfRegistrationCodeIsValid" and notice a "CMP" followed by a "BEQ", and change that to a "BRANCH"...
