It is not about having less interest in hiring managers, it is there is less need for managers than there is need for individual contributors. Due to simple math - one manager is needed to manage unit/organization of multiple individual contributors. So there's less open positions for managers and more competition, and more perks too.

Tesla could have done better I feel in proactively informing owners of what to do/not do with this cold snap. They would have saved themselves a few bad headlines
Yeah, they passed that already in the Netherlands.

I think the Netherlands doesn’t stipulates a disability. And honestly, there are reasons other than disabilities and neurodivergence; some people are caregivers, or have young kids, or have a nice home office setup (which a lot of the same companies “flexing” as you put it will never match in the office), or they just don’t want to waste money and time commuting.

I believe if the job can be done remotely, it should be a worker’s right. No hassle, no questions asked, and no retaliation or discrimination.

However, I’m not sure where you’re located, but I’m not holding my breath for meaningful workers’ rights legislation in the US any time soon.
It shouldn't be that bad, CloudFlare's anycast should direct you to a nearby resolver, and doing your GeoDNS on that resolver IP instead of ECS is probably not that much worse than doing it on the actual client IP. Both approaches aren't great at picking an ideal CDN node, GeoIP is notoriously unreliable, and it tells you nothing about network topology.

Breaking DNS entirely is much worse behaviour, especially because GeoDNS itself is arguably not in the spirit of DNS which is distributing a consistent database, not making it up on the fly based on the client's info. The archive.is admin is being ridiculous, the least they could do is block anyone not using a resolver supporting ECS to be consistent, but no they have something personal against Cloudflare.

> It can also be tricky to open the door on the Model S with a drained battery. Under normal circumstances, the car automatically adjusts the windows to ease the process. "Always connect to an external, low voltage power supply before opening a door when the vehicle has no power," Tesla says, "to avoid breaking a window."

It's such a silly situation to be in. Why couldn't they have made these with regular door handles?

Edit: Oops, sorry, it's not the handles but the window design. Still, seems needlessly complicated and fragile.
I have a friend who grew up in Irkutsk, Russia where, while quite a bit colder, ICE cars had to be run all night, because if they stopped running they would never start again. All machines have a failure rate at a certain (lack of) temperature. Sounds like electric is just a big higher. I hope this tech improves with time.

The _real story_ here is that there appears to be a strong mismatch between supply and demand for powerful enough tesla chargers to charge cars quickly in cold temperatures.

Cities/Charging companies that expect cold weather that can impact this should have a strategy to match this demand when needed, or owners should have stronger chargers to plug their cars in at home (where possible)
Most of my production experience precedes CI/CD as a concept by a number of years. You still don't know though if the rollback fixed it or if just bouncing the software alone fixed some kind of brownout, and you may not be able to replicate what happened and get stuck unsure of what the bug was and be in a state where you don't know if you can roll forward again or not. Then a developer throws a bit of spackle on the code to address what the problem "might" be -- then when you roll forward people assume that fixed it, which it might not, which is how cargo cults get formed.
Somehow in Norway where EVs make up more than 1/3 if entire vehicle stock on the road, it's not a problem. That's a seriously cold ass country.
I've been wondering about how long it will take before a tactic similar to this is used to steer peoples purchasing choices towards particular products. If you could 'infect' a model to suggest your new product ahead of incumbents that might otherwise be listed first for example. Or just offering subtle suggestions. "Acme Tools corp offers a product that solves your problem."
This is what baffled me. The claim that access restrictions are justified because they enable peer reviews is absurd given that peer review is entirely a non-profit exercise.

> Are you asking why we have antitrust laws?

you're putting words in my mouth here.

> How so? You can continue using whichever marketplace you trust.

No. I get to use whichever marketplace the publisher decides to use. Epic aren't going to publish on the App Store (see Fortnite on PC), Meta are going to publish on their own store. 37signals are going to use their own store. I currently can use a marketplace I trust. If iOS opens to allow other stores, then those stores either need to be curated by Apple or the store apps are sideloaded and have wider permissions. I don't want Meta's store with those permissions, I'm fine with using WhatsApp and not giving them my location.

Look at it the other way -- the fact that even such an elite school was having serious problems when they were allowing smartphones, shows how pernicious their influence is in education. It's like putting a TV with full access cable on every desk in the classroom. It's no wonder literacy is going down instead of up for the first time in decades.

> - From what I have heard the Blender video editor for many people is a go to tool as well. In this case it likely would have been overkill, but figured it is worth mentioning.

Blender is great as well if you happen to be a programmer, as everything is also callable as Python functions. The "built-in docs" in form of hovering over buttons and seeing what the equivalent Python code would be, makes it super easy to script together one-off scripts for doing things like "Add 300 video clips with a 100ms fade-in-out between all of them".
The issue at hand may be whether they keep the heaters on during charging. FTA: "A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours."
> It seems to me that "scientific" is losing some of the cachet it once had.

I would say that term is being used to label things that it shouldn't be used to label. We still have scientific models that have very accurate predictive power. But many things that are labeled as "scientific" aren't in that category.
Knowledge graphs improve vector search by providing a "back of the book" index for the content. This can be done using knowledge extraction from an LLM during indexing, such as pulling out keyterms of a given chunk before embedding, or asking a question of the content and then answering it using the keyterms in addition to the embeddings. One challenge I found with this is determining keyterms to use with prompts that have light context, but using a time window helps with this, as does hitting the vector store for related content, then finding the keyterms for THAT content to use with the current query.
In the early days of the Russian invasion, Ukrainians used "palyanytsia" as a shibboleth to detect spies. How well that worked in detecting actual spies is anyone's guess, but you can hear the difference in pronunciations really well if you enter паляниця into Google translate and use the TTS function with Russian and Ukrainian. It's really very difficult for a Russian to learn to pronounce this, but anyone who grew up in Ukraine (even if their first language is Russian and they struggle to converse in Ukrainian, like many older people in the south where I'm from) have no issues with it whatsoever due to many years of exposure to the relevant phonemes.
Protocols can have parameters. The protocol will be interoperable between parties who choose compatible parameters.

For example, SSH only works if both sides support and can agree on the same cryptographic algorithms, which is something that SSH is parametrized over.
Uhh, there's been repeated tax reductions since the 80s.

We all, the upper brackets in particular, pay less taxes than we would be 30-40 years ago.

The rich also have tools to reduce their taxes further, like deferrals, that's how Trump didn't pay taxes for several years.

I run Resolve (Studio) on Linux/Mac/Windows and, you are right, getting it to work on used to be a pain in anything but a set version of Centos. However, this project:

They tried to adapt SQL Server iirc but it wasn't the right approach for a desktop OS.

The issue with the filesystem-as-database concept is that unless you're doing it as a serverside thing to get RDBMS features for files, it doesn't give you much more power without very serious changes to applications.

The first problem is that databases are most useful when they index things, but files are just binary blobs in arbitrary formats. To index the contents you have to figure out what they are and parse them to derive interesting data. This is not best done by the filesystem itself though - you want it to be asynchronous, running in userspace and (these days) ideally sandboxed. This is expensive and so you don't want to do it on the critical file write path. Nowadays there are tools like Spotlight that do it this way and are useful enough.

If you don't do that then when it comes time to sell your shiny fs-as-a-db feature for upgrade dollars, you have to admit that your db doesn't actually index anything because no apps are changed to use it. Making them do so requires rewriting big parts from scratch. In that era I think the Office format was still essentially just memory dumps of internal data structures, done for efficiency, so making Office store documents as native database tables would have been a huge project and not yielded much benefit over simple text indexing using asynchronous plugins to a userspace search service.

Another problem is that databases aren't always great at indexing into the middle of blobs and changing them. Sometimes db engines want to copy values if you change them, because they're optimised for lots of tiny values (row column values) and not small numbers of huge values. But apps often want to write into the middle of files or append to them.

Yet another problem is that apps are very sensitive to filesystem performance (that's why the fs runs in the kernel to begin with). But databases do more work, so can be slower, which would make everything feel laggy.

So yeah it was a beautiful vision but it didn't work out. Note that operating systems started with databases as their native data storage mechanism in the mainframe era, and that was moved away from, because there are lots of things you want to store that aren't naturally database-y (images, videos, audio, source code etc).
malware and other spying apps (like your television) are just adopting DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and bypassing whatever local DNS server you have deployed on your network, pihole and such are quickly becoming irrelevant.
This principle has been noted in both trial court opinions and by SCOTUS so I think it has relevance. Thats why I said it is a good issue to research.

This is what I keep saying. The EV transition is bound up with the housing crisis. Not only do you need to find a place to go to sleep and recharge yourself each night; now you also need a garage for your car to do the same.

Solve that, and EVs will become more viable. Only the "road trip problem" will remain.

Edit: Let me be clear. I am not saying that EVs are causing the housing crisis. That would be crazy. But I am saying that the housing crisis is blocking the adoption of EVs.
My previous employer made redundant an employee whose productivity was basically zero when we moved to work from home.

This is not about open source AI, and the people who are saying it is don’t seem to understand the point Anthropic are making here.

The point here is that malicious hidden behaviour encoded during pre-training seems to be very resistant to generic finetuning without knowing what the hidden behaviour is.

If random websites start including hidden or discreet bits of text which include malicious instructions, they might be activated post-hoc to get a model to do something nefarious. This impacts open source and closed source models alike since they all general train on trillions of tokens which can’t be manually verified for hidden traps like this.
It's not the door handles that is the issue in that quote. It's the frameless windows. Cars with frameless windows often need to retract the window slightly when the door is opened, so that the window clears the edge of the body of the vehicle that they tuck up into when it is closed. Many other vehicles do this as well.

There are 472 subway stations in NYC, and generally less than 400 murders city-wide per year.

Every time I read an article/paper/etc about "AI Safety" it always rubs me the wrong way. I think the reason why is these articles always completely discount user agency, that is they assume you will ask the AI for help with a thing and will be completely at the mercy of what it outputs.

IMHO I think that we should spend less time obsessing about "AI Safety" and more time educating users about the limits, pitfalls and drawbacks of using LLM's. The way I look at it is since AI models are trained on internet data, the same rule of "don't believe everything you read/see on the internet" should apply. Just because a layer of abstraction has been applied to that data does not mean that the rule no longer applies.
I mean, great point, but the internet is more than entertainment, in the way that electricity and light is more than movies.

Many people may use a significant portion of their electricity and lights on watching... whatever. But the statistical majority of use cases does not define the medium.

Pretty much every car with frameless windows works the same way. The window rolls down a little bit when you open the door to clear the trim.

Obviously you don't have kids and don't work with kids and your only experience with children in your childless social circle is vaguely remembering your own childhood.

> Todays busses don't even have heating in the winter

Reminder that not all busses are the same, and your experience is extremely localised to you - even different bus companies (or bus models used by a single company) in the same city can be completely different, yet alone different parts of the country, yet alone different countries.

Near me, for example, pretty much all busses have heating for the winter, and maybe half (random estimate) have AC for during hot weather while the other half just have windows/vents to open or shut.
Viruses do not want to be 100% lethal or have rapid action. That is bad for their spread and longevity. If a virus always kills its host and does it quickly, how does the virus spread? A virus does better when it can incubate awhile, hopefully asymptomatically, while its host goes about normal business, while the viral load increases and the contagion can spread in the open.

By the time that symptoms are noticeable and debilitating, it's game over, because the host is going to notice, and curtail his activity, thus curtailing spread of the virus and limiting its longevity.

People were so afraid of Ebola, but its lethality was a key factor in limiting its spread and keeping it rather contained, geographically speaking. The main fear about COVID-19 was asymptomatic infection and the resultant spread from people who had no idea they were carriers, and that's why socal distancing and face mask mandates were so important.
The language of victimization is dangerous. There was a time when it might have seemed liberatory when applied to "marginalized" populations but the categorical imperative always gets you in the end...
