1K years sounds far-fetched, it seems just as possible the framework holding up the pinhole camera will fail before then.

The longest exposure photo is about 8 years, and it looks quite good.

While that's true, a guarantee like that is only as good as the penalties. There is no penalty for Hertz not giving you a specific model AFAIK. In reality with Hertz it means slighter-above-normal chance of getting that model.

Now if it were "exact model or your rental is free", that would be something to behold
Closing the day care is a big deal. I don't know how they justified that; most company daycares cost as much, if not more than regular daycares and are run either at break-even, or at a very small profit.

And it's a huge, huge perk. Taking your kids with you to work allows you to not make a second trip every morning and every evening to go to their daycare (which is never exactly on the way) it's good for morale, it's GREAT for work/life balance, it's good for the environment, and the kids spend more time with their parents.

PG&E closed their daycare at 77 beale (Downtown SF) when they moved their headquarters to the ghost-town building in Oakland and very explicitly announced they had no plans to re-open a daycare. If you're reading this and in a position where you can affect change, definitely consider a daycare on site, it's a very effective way to dramatically increase retention of senior employees.
You may be able to expose it to the client as a SMB network share. But you might also find it easier to back up over a network than to migrate a local backup into the necessary format.
This just sounds unreasonable. How about:

1) Hire locksmith.
2) Have them replace app-supported lock with regular metal key one.
3) Profit (in time & annoyance saved).
4) While you're living there, if landlord threathens legal proceedings: hire lawyer & "see you in court".
5) When you leave: hire locksmith to revert lock to app-supported one. If landlord requests so.

Sure there's ownership. But for all intents & purposes, while paying rent you are owner of said apartment, right? If doorlock isn't working, fix it.

> The quality of your average tech worked has completely nosedived in the last 10-15 years.

It's definitely got worse over the last ~10 years, but the pandemic era hiring from 2020-2021 took it to new level of bad at many companies. Anyone who had done some basic coding was getting hired at a great salary in 2021, and these individuals are still around today – some now calling themselves "senior developers".

But I completely agree with what you're saying here about about it no longer being nerds working in tech. A nerd who isn't the best coding will still engage with me about technical details, be keen to learn new things, and care about their work. A lot of the new guys I work with today are just doing the bare minimum and they think you're an idiot for caring.
Are you talking about LLMs in general, or specifically ChatGPT with a default prompt?

Since dabbling with some open source models (llama, mistral, etc.), I've found that they each have slightly different quirks, and with a bit of prompting can exhibit very different writing styles.

I do share your observation that a lot of content I see online now is easily identifiable as ChatGPT output, but it's hard for me to say how much LLM content I'm _not_ identifying because it didn't have the telltale style of stock ChatGPT.
I hadn't told the agent at the desk I never drove a Tesla, that was the guy who handed me the keys. It seemed mostly about concerns related to charging and high costs of repairs.
There should be a provision in law that mandates the presentation of a final bill within x number of days of services rendered.

Right now they want to have their cake and eat it, too. “We can’t tell you how much it will cost ahead of time because it would be too difficult”. But also “ we can randomly bill you at some point from now until the end of time until we decide that your debt is paid.”
Considering that the website looks from the 2000's and that it says Abykuns runs "on all versions of Microsoft Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8).", I'm not sure one can say that there is a "variety of non-cloud apps still out there".

It's only non-cloud because it comes from an era before the cloud.
Indeed: for awhile I was going to a place on Saratoga near Doyle in west San Jose, and they had a non-Tesla charging station in the parking lot. Almost always, every spot was occupied, even in the middle of a weekday.
surely this type of headline is written as click bait, regardless of whether there's any accurate reporting contained
Fair point, but if we're stretching the definition to the point where nothing can be ethical, then there isn't any meaning to the word "ethical" as it relates to a binary "is" or "is not."

If we agree that nothing can be fully "ethical," there still should be some continuum on which to place the current system, unless you contend that every system and/or action is ethically equal, which I would further contend erases any meaning of the word rendering the premise moot.

So that said, is there any system that is more ethical than the current?
Nice visualizations! Brings back fond memories of playing with Maplesoft in the 1990s to build up intuition about physical systems. In a nonlinear optimization class I was taking, I wanted to find the optimal truss configuration of a stack of hexapods [1] just as you're doing, but I got stuck on the Lagrange multipliers and gave up. You've shown it's much easier today using autodiff.

Stacked ranking is a more subtle name that obfuscates the truth. Rank and yank better represents what it is.
There are big tech companies in the UK and they've done layoffs just like in the US. Plenty of companies still hiring though and overall tech workforce is much higher than pre-pandemic.
As I have grown older I have come to see a similar effect not just in my own life but in the shape of the world around us; humanity has closed the doors to certain kinds of futures I once hoped and worked for, and "mourning" is a good term for those feelings. There are many open doors remaining in humanity's future, to be sure, but the scope of change seems narrower than it once did, since the bright new possibilities of the future always seem to get swallowed up by the ugly messes left over from the past.
Stop blaming other people. It's us, you and me.
If a brand popped up and offered a gasoline ICE with old toyota-level reliability and longevity, and without electronics (save for maybe bluetooth for some music) I'd pay a sizeable premium for it.
Video game engines absolutely handle text rendering across a wide range of languages. Not all games involve complex text input, but it’s a sufficiently common need that’d I’d expect a generic engine to support robustly.

Accessibility is often language in game technology. That should be better.

To be honest my first reaction was negative to this idea. But if your comments and links have done anything it’s convince me that maybe this isn’t a bad idea after all!
> What you're saying is like can you work for a Canadian company while living in the U.S?

Yes, of course. You do need government approval, but generally they are willing.

However, one of the supposed goals of the EU's creation was to allow free movement of labour across member countries. Exactly so you can work in another EU country without having to secure government approval.

It is interesting that you say not only did the EU fail on that front, but that it has managed to create a situation worse than countries that have never made a formal attempt to go down that road.
Seems a lot like ensembling methods for traditional predictive models.
There are purely mechanical methods to make rekeying easy.

Combine that with a protected keyway and you can have the tenant rekey themself.
This is only possible because of the extreme anti-worker legal situation in the US. In many many (most?) countries doing this is illegal and will land you a court decision against your breach of the employee's rights (in addition to you owing that employee severance + lack-of-advanced-notice fine, by law and before any legal procedure).
Interest rates went up and now profitability matters. Tech companies' biggest expense is employees, so it's the lowest hanging fruit to generate higher profits. It's really that simple.
About 2/3 of it. About 1/3 of the oil we use in the US is for industrial uses.

With respect, what is the objection to a web-server called Apache? The pun? (a patchy web-server) or just using the name "Apache" at all? I'm English, and I wouldn't dream of asking Americans to stop calling English muffins English.

Europeans are paid way way less and aren’t hard to work with. Same with Australia.
The amount of residential areas being bombed seems to suggest that the bombing is indeed indiscriminate. It is hard to believe that 70-90% of all buildings in Gaza City are valid military targets.

Bombings can still be indiscriminate even when you carefully select and hit each and every target. The indiscriminateness is just moved from an imprecise bomb to a non-discriminatory target selection method.

But fine, don’t call this carpet bombing. Call it something else. The level of destruction is on the maps, and has been documented to be extremely severe. More severe than in any other bombing campaigns since World War 2. Perhaps this amount of destruction warrants a new name that accurately depicts the horrors of something worse than carpet bombings.
Then you have to find a way to store it.

iGPUs are useful, they just aren't great value for budget gaming PCs (unless we're talking super-duper low budget, where a $50 used GPU is really going to break the bank). HTPC/NAS that's going to run Jackbox at 4K occasionally? Great use case for an R5 with an iGPU.

I wish the EU would grow some balls and tell Ireland to fuck off with their shenanigans of letting these companies get away with everything.

Meta should be getting fined for every red cent they steal from users, 4% of global revenue doesn't even come close to the sort of fines that scumfuck of a company deserves.
It was impossible to get a spot so not a huge deal imo
Not surprising. Remember, "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal", as Van Sabben may have discovered.
Fair enough, but Microsoft would be equally dead without Office and Azure revenue.

One way to think about this is that Apple isn't diversified enough. Another way to think about it is that Microsoft's long tail is a mess.

Same. I about lost my mind when I was hospitalized, given a wrong diagnosis, and then received a bill from the hospital, provider, and the lab in separate bills. At the time it felt like it would never end. The worst part is it doesn't feel like they really have a cap on the time they have to get their shit together and send you a bill.
I had an issue with an ambulance bill that was billed separately from everything else. Despite me being conscious, handing them my current id - they found an address from 2+ year prior - so I never received a bill until the collections notice.

I spent the better part of 5 years resolving it; I got them a check from my previous health insurer at year 1 when I got the notice, but since they had already sent it to collections - and I had denied the debt they never removed it from my file; then they changed billing 3rd party providers. So i spent 4 years calling once a year -- until I called an administrator for 2 weeks straight until she got fed up and fixed it.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Is google turning into a pure cash cow with no ambition?
You have this resource, developers, that you invest a lot into; why would you get rid of your core asset? Is there no NPV-positive way to allocate this asset? Is there 0 ambition to pursue new projects?

Technically they're still "employed" a bit longer but prevented from going into offices or doing anything else in their final 2 weeks or whatever it is. And they get severance after.
Personally, I never made it very far in academia. Never even finished out undergrad. That said, I'm now at a point in my life where I'm mostly surrounded by Businesses Majors and I do truly miss my time as a philosophy student, despite being very burnt out when I left.

Academia is a weird field, that, in my experience, is wonderful to have connections to, but for the most part is exhausting. Frankly I think things can be more exhausting when you love them enough to be consumed by them.

Even now, I have projects that I work on in my free time that I'm so engaged and miss sleep for, and while I'm proud of whatever is produced, it does often lead me feeling frustrated and burnt out. It helped me quite a bit to start setting boundaries for myself, as in: I'm going to work on this project until this time, and then I'm taking time to disconnect from it. Even though it can be frustrating to interrupt a flow state, it's still important to take care of ones own needs.
That sounds like every experience I have with Hertz (I've never rented an EV from them). And most other rental companies for that matter. I've started using Turo more often.
You are correct, that one doesn't have a computer. It doesn't have many features required by modern industrial processes, though. It isn't suitable for building safety-critical systems.
I think this is just in the short-term. In the long term GPTs will retain our personality while making the message more understandable - which I think is the most important thing. Although McLuhan would disagree. Benefits, though, might include AI making cross-cultural translation so you can converse with someone with a different language and very different experiences and still understand each other. I think that's good? Maybe?
Please tell me where I can get a used 1080 ti (that works) for $100.
Godot 4 has proper multi-window support.

You should be using C# for stuff like that. Ignore the Godot API, just use .NET 8.

But I agree that any game engine is a poor fit for general applications.
I would much rather prefer the latter actually because the risk is lower. People tend to seriously discount the risk of non-liquidity in these situations, which is the scenario the former sets up. I know multiple people that discovered this the hard way. Houses without mortgages aren't anywhere close to free to live in and they can have very little liquidity in a big downturn.
Nix dev shells are far better than container for dev work.
Yeah gitlab has pretty good caching support and it is basically a must if you do bigger jobs, especially on stuff like c++ apps. It is pretty brittle sometimes, and in my experience it won't be able to be as fast as actual local dev but it's still good. You can even make it use a remote cache IIRC.
Car ownership is not really independence. Eg. It isn't very independent to sit in traffic with a crowd of other car owners, waiting for them to move so you can also move. Then you are also dependent on fueling stations and other infrastructure.
Sorry, I’ll respond seriously because re-reading my comment sounds like a bit of a cheap shot at P, et al.

From the report in Dutch, they raise the point he may not have even known the magnitude of what he was doing. Until it already had been done and he realized what happened.

Even AIVD/MIVD may have not known…or so they say.

I wonder what the rules on sending live specimens through the post are. Knowingly not using the right markings on the package can cause issues. When they ask you if you have any of "these" things in the package and you then say no would be a federal crime. Messing with the postal inspectors tends to be wildly underappreciated at the repercussions they can inflict.
I'm so burned out that the idea of even sitting at a desk with a screen in front of it, never mind coding or thinking or doing anything worthwhile, makes me feel sick to the stomach.

I'll always love coding. Stress can kill anything.

I enjoyed using Windows 7 a lot. It was stable; much more so than previous versions and actually later versions - an update wasn't likely to break support for any devices or introduce a regression like it sometimes does on 10/11.

KDE 5 gives me a similar feeling to what I had with Windows 7. It's very customisable, and indeed with some theming you can make it look almost identical to Windows 7. But what is particularly nice is not so much the aesthetics, but rather the depth of functionality and polish that KDE has. There are hardly any rough edges, and features like KDE Connect are conceptually simple but mind-blowingly efficient in practice.

> I could spell it out concretely

Well please do then.

There are lots of people with drive on the Democrat side -- look at everything Bernie inspired, for example. There's ideas and drive aplenty. Look at the optimism that propelled Obama into office. And then look at how little he was able to accomplish, compared with what he hoped to. Look at how he discovered that Republicans wouldn't work with him, no matter how bipartisan he tried to be.

Because Republicans have drive too, in service of their own ideas -- ideas which are diametrically opposed to all of that. And they have the votes to block anything meaningful.

So again, please spell it out concretely. How do you propose to overcome the power that Republicans currently wield? I'd love to hear your thoughts spelled out -- your effective political strategy here to get the votes.

I don't think it's likely they'll change their process just for EVs. I've never had them explain a car to me, they just toss me the keys and point in the general direction of the car. Figuring out how to make it work has always been my own responsibility.
> This sounds like you're describing a system that is a failure but that the solution is not to fix the system but to give up and do something else. Can we not fix academia? Is the signal of so many people, especially in CS, abandoning academia for industry not as clear of a sign as you can get?

Not enough people have left yet. Until enough people leave that academia has a hard time finding talent that it needs, as far as they're concerned there's no problem.
Lots of folks are in great health but find themselves voluntarily bed ridden for lack of motivation to do anything else. It can often happen after no longer needing to work.

When I rented from Hertz late last year I asked about how people felt about the EVs.

The agent said people used to EVs loved them, and almost everyone else wouldn’t touch them with a 10’ pole.

Between the cars dropping significantly in value (all EVs have), the lack of maintenance savings if no one is driving them, the cost to repair body panels when hit, and most people not wanting to touch them I can’t blame Hertz.

Just too early for the mass market in most places and the wrong brand choice due to repair costs (though choice was very limited at the time).
