The problem is the case where you want to upload or attach >1 document that's actually a directory. You need a way to signal that the first 3 files are a part of document A, and the next 5 are part of document B, and although you could invent a file name convention to express this nothing understands it. Email clients would show 7 attachments, web server APIs would show 7 files, browsers would need to be patched to let you select bundles in the file picker and then recursively upload them, how progress tracking works would need to change, etc.

And then how do you _download_ them? Browsers don't understand MIME at download time.

None of it is hard to solve. But, nobody ever did, and the value of doing things this new way is usually going to be lower than the value of smooth interop with everyone's different browser/OS/email/server combos.
As a STEM working remotely in the area of this newspaper, I'd definitely consider a non-stem job that paid more than what I make working remotely...but I haven't seen an obvious opportunity like that.
What they didn't say is how much of that gas and/or mileage expense is reimbursed or deducted from taxes. I'd expect someone driving that amount is doing it as part of their work, they're not just touring the country.

So, if you take that average of $530 with the national average of gas at $3.088/gal is 172 gallons a month. The average SUV is getting 16 mpg so that's 2752 miles. Now the IRS deduction rate is $0.655/mile so that's $1802 deduction or reimbursement or combination of the two... Every month... Compared to the $530 expense.

Do we really need another government incentive? Because according to this information, even if they're not getting a mileage based deduction or credit they already have a $360/month incentive to get an EV and don't want it. Pretty sure if someone told me that I could make a lateral move and get an extra $360 I'd do it.

Feels like another excuse for a government program to drain money away from people good at math.
To be fair, IPFS does offer not just content addressing but also a mechanism for mutability with IPNS. You can think of a willow namespace (or iroh document) as a key value store of IPNS entries.

The problem with IPNS is that the performance is... not great... to put it politely, so it is not really an useful primitive to build mutability.

You end up building your own thing using gossip, at which point you are not really getting a giant benefit anymore.
It is backwards compatible. There are multiple ways to connect to an IPv4 host with an IPv6 only host. Many mobile networks are IPv6 only. If you want it the other way around. How should that work?
APL was invented by Kenneth Iverson, the other person mentioned on the page, not Arthur Whitney.

I was not convinced of the readability of APL, but compared to its successors which tried to stick to ASCII, I've learned to appreciate the merits of an extended character set.
They rattle off a bunch of other "physiological parameters" like glucose, hemoglobin and "other". I wonder how many of these have been demonstrated via their technology vs. are theoretically possible (patent trolling)? I could be wrong but I thought non-invasive blood glucose has not been cracked yet, yet seems to be covered by the patent.

Also curious as these appear to be dated in 2021 but the Apple Watch 6 with pulse oximeter came out in 2020. Unless there is something different about the "latest" watches.

While I do totally agree on the necessity of the steps you outlined, I have yet to discover a reliable ETA for Valhalla and Leyden, and Panama, it’s been like a carrot on a stick so far. And I do totally realize that certain consistency bounds must be in place to smoothen the future evolution of JDK, yet the chasm is still there and a quite significant one. I’m sure you are aware. There’s so many things going on at the same time to be aware of in Javaland, it’s getting quite tedious to persuade everyone to keep it up and not jump ship, after getting burned by the previous JDK (and Spring) upgrades.
Because cars on a road have obvious intention and clear rules to follow, but bicyclists/pedestrians on a sidewalk do not.

How do you know someone on a sidewalk is waiting to cross vs just stopping while talking to friend, checking their phone, etc? Or that someone walking towards a crosswalk actually intends to cross and isn't going to change direction?

You could paint a box on the ground and say "stand here to cross"?

I actually wasn't thinking about the team scheduling element, though that seems really useful especially in scrappy teams that have to wear a lot of hats and sync ad hoc a lot.

I was thinking more about the task side, where if I had come from a meeting about, say, marketing, and only had half an hour until another meeting, I might be able to knock out a marketing-related task because I was already in that headspace, whereas a similarly complex task about some other topic would require more of a context shift.
Interesting. Can you explain more about exactly when that happens? I can test it with mine.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" No need, if GrapheneOS has its way
"The idea is to minimize the window of opportunity for attackers and disrupt existing compromises by resetting all protection systems on the device more frequently than a user would.

GrapheneOS' auto-reboot system resets the device every 72 hours but as the OS maker comments, this is too long a period and they plan to reduce it.

...

The auto-reboot timer since the last unlock (not since last boot) has now been shortened to 18 hours (from 72 hours)."

Another reminder of the depth of the mess that is modern consumer device security.

There's an oxygen storage system that serves the cockpit for emergencies (pax masks are served by chemical oxygen generators, not tanks). If the cockpit system has a leak, it's possible that the crew would not be able to be supplied oxygen in a depressurization or smoke in cockpit scenario, so there's a preflight check that all is working. If the plane failed this check, that's consistent with it being discovered after pax are boarded.

It's quite similar to fixing a leak and recharging the AC on your car. If you'd call that maintenance, you should call this maintenance.

One of the primary reasons that aviation is so safe is experiences like this. Aircraft fails a preflight check for something and is AOG until fixed. ("Aircraft On Ground", aka "broken".) There's an entire industry around serving maintenance needs and special handling for AOG situations.

Some of the way this is being presented makes it seem like "bad for the workers" findings, "don't study STEM after all" but this is more about "is this the best way to employ people with STEM degrees", with a central complaint being something along the lines of "innovative IC STEM work is underpaid compared to neighboring business/management-ish fields that capture a lot of graduates"

> Many able STEM grads bolt for better-paying careers, especially in business, finance, management and medicine (government programs focused on STEM exclude medical practitioners and are not designed to increase those numbers). Some do find high salaries in STEM jobs, many right out of college, especially in hot fields such as AI. But STEM grads even in the most dynamic sectors, including computer science and engineering, see their salary advantage fade over time, increasing the odds that they’ll leave for greener pastures.

> Employers also incentivize moves from technical work to management with higher salaries at their own firms, yet many bemoan a shortage of technical STEM workers, not managers.

Dwellig you know, where the bandersnatch is
That 'usage' is taking statistical notes about the work (creating factual statements about the work) and imputing those notes into a database, averaged with a few billion other notes about other works. That is a usage that copyright under current law simply doesn't cover or protect for. It doesn't even need the analysis if 'fair use' because, there's no copying or public performance happing in the creation/training of the model.

Where infringement arguably can happen is when that model is used in the generation of content - and if the user is prompting regenerate a protected work, then that is where the infringement happens. But not before. Maybe the various ai services can adequately guard against that illicit usage. Maybe not. And if not, its those live services that would need to be shut down.

But the creation and training of a model, and even distributing that model for people to use with their own computers in private does not engage in copyright infringement.

There will be a huge market for this kind of [semi]automated tool/service. It'd need to constantly mutate to avoid adaptation and possibly employ a network of human experts, but that latter won't scale and every individual human will be fooled from time to time.

That's where looking at HTML as serialized state really helps. When a request changes the cart the server responds with chunks of HTML "state" for anything that changed.

In the shopping cart case, a user clicks Add to Cart and the server responds with an update for the button (maybe it has a success message) + new HTML for the cart item counter in your header. Sure that counter is technically UI, but the server is sending it because the state has changed and the client needs to patch in the update.
Honest question: why not? Would that set a precedent and invite a deluge of lawsuits from every direction?
Sounds like a miserable life but he also seems like the kind of person who gets off on it. I do feel sorry for his family, though. I agree it's ridiculous for the WSJ to force folks to work from the office if it's not actually a requirement 5 days a week. I also wonder if they're properly accounting for state income taxes from this setup (he should owe state income tax to the state he's working from on any particular day).

His boast about getting $2,000 in cash for accepting the offers to put off your flight till later reminded me of the time my family went to Hawaii over Christmas. We were flying from Honolulu back to Chicago in early January and the flight was severely oversold. Unfortunately there was a huge snowstorm predicted for 18 hours later in Chicago, promising 18+ inches of snow. So no one was taking the offers. They eventually got down to offering to rebook you for a flight the next day in exchange for a suite at the Waikiki Hilton overnight, $2,000 in cash, and an upgrade to first class for the rebooked flight. I was so tempted to accept the offer, but we really wanted to beat the snowstorm (as did everyone else of course).

Yes and no. In terms of LLMs, it's basically figuring out how to exfiltrate information from GPT4 to remove costs of data gathering. The limitations of that are that the model will never be better than gpt4, and when gpt4 produces incorrect information, the model trained on synthetic data will also do so.

In other fields like computer vision, synthetic data is useful for generating ground truth data, like for depth masks.
The design of UEFI also involves tons of non-essential complexity.

I think this conversion has corrected some misgivings I had about the AI copyright argument. My takeaway is;

Possession copyright material is not inherently infringing on a copyright. Disseminating copyright material is unless you meet section 107. AI runs afoul of section 107 when it verbatim shares copyright material from its dataset without attribution.

The thought of someone using a state of the art smartphone to access an LLM to tell them that the earth is flat and that man never landed on the moon is so dismaying.

I knew an eng manager who lived in a flight focused community (each house had parking for an airplane!) like this one [1] way outside of town. They'd fly in each morning for their commute.

I always thought that sounded like it would provide maximum flexibility since there are so many tiny airfields in the US you'd be hard pressed to work somewhere too far from one.

Seemed pretty incredible overall... at the time I remember looking it up and the cost working out to a bit cheaper than bay area housing all-in, but I didn't really know how to calculate the airplane costs accurately.

NO. It is GOOD for the public, because the public needs protection from criminals and law-breakers.

> Even as the EU ignores human rights abuses in other fields that supply products to the EU?

Pretty much every government ignores human rights abuses in pretty much every field as long as the human rights abuses happen far enough away, no? I would love a huge "no product sold in the EU can have been produced in a way which involves any form of 'human rights abuse'" law, but we know governments well enough to not expect that, right? I don't even know how you'd define "human rights abuses" in a way which prohibits both mistreatment of miners for rare earth minerals and slavery and indentured servitude and underpaid, overworked sweatshop conditions and poorly treated coffee farmers under one definition without being overly broad and hitting unintended fields; coming up with such legislation genuinely sounds like a ton of work with a significant risk of fucking over industries unintentionally.

For the moment, I'll take a trickle of laws which target specific industries rather than nothing. I certainly won't attack legislation which moves us in a good direction for not being the silver bullet "liberate everyone in the world being poorly treated or underpaid" law.
Cats are so much nicer in that respect.

I don't understand why he wouldn't just live in OH, save money for a house, and in the mean time commute to NYC for, let's say, one week a month. This seems cheaper and more pleasant, and easier to plan, and less physically exhausting, and more obvious. Does his work as a journalist require him to be physically located at the company, but on an irregular schedule? I'm trying to figure out the series of requirements and constraints that make this behavior seem like the best choice. Interesting article, but just not enough details in it for me to understand it to my admittedly naive satisfaction.
> The 90s were a constant Clinton sex scandal

Yes, I know, I lived through it. If you did too then you'll recall that the difference is that it wasn't considered important by average people, nothing like today anyhow. We paid plenty of attention to it, but it was like rubbernecking at a carwreck -- very interesting in the moment, but not earth shattering. It was important in an "oooh, fascinating hahaha" way, not in an "oh no, how anxiety inducing" kind of way, and that summarizes the difference between the 90s and the 20s.
I say this with 90% sincerity: I thought this was STEAM now?

But with all seriousness... I went to university out of high school in 2005 to get a mech engineering degree but never finished because I liked to party too hard and web dev was easy and paid better than most people I knew with entry-level engineering jobs.

Flash forward to now as a non-trad student and I'm in my 400-level coursework. It's all easier than it was, 100%. "We only need you to pass the FE" is what they say. I'm getting a 3.7 GPA by just showing up to class and doing the homework they assign. It wasn't like that ~20 years ago.

Makes me wonder about the quality of the graduates we're cranking out even at ABET-accredited schools.
Lots of friends of mine have worked as consultants where they get sent to distant cities for weeks or months at a time. Their lodging, meals, and travel back home every weekend were covered by their employers. At least once for someone straight out of college, so nothing particularly "elite" about his skills.
I wonder if some just realize that they don’t like STEM. Maybe they only studied it for family or social pressures, or they heard that engineers can get paid a lot.

Anecdotally, I feel like some of my classmates had no interest in engineering. They seemed to stick around for the money or the benefits or the clout. But if landing a job in the industry became more trouble than it’s worth, I don’t see why they wouldn’t turn elsewhere.
It's not normal to be a supercommuter, but if you are one, it's pretty typical to be doing it on someone else's dime. It's not your own bed at home, but it's a lot more pleasant that doing all that moving around and having to pay your own way.
