How to train your own fine-tuned text embedding model
Gran Turismo 4 was the last Gran Turismo for the PS2. It also did support networking for LAN gameplay but networking isn't required to play the game.
Obtrusive cookie banners are somewhere between malicious compliance or a sign of shady business practices. Now that I see it spelt out like this, they are always a sign of scumbag companies.
IIRC jazelle left it to the implementers which bytecodes to handle in HW and what to trap to SW. Since SW JIT beat the Jazelle implementtions, by the arm11 times, the cpu implementers would just leave everything for the SW traps... So while the original raspberry pi was arm1176j and J meant Jazelle support, it was all already hollowed out.
Cash-equivalent or money market are fine, mid-term bounds are not.

SVB people are getting charged with criminal charges.
Canadian Pacific is kind of weird as a company as they have their own police force. They literally get to police themselves for historical reasons, so while it is reasonable for a regular company to not act on reports of theft, it is harder to say that about Canadian Pacific.
We should have stopped at "GAFA"
In this case, I would question why a non governmental entity has a police force.

Have they considered moving back to India or China if they want to move the goalposts from 'uninhabitable' to cultural immersion of their homeland/ancestoral homeland?
I keep mine on because it's my jumphost for working remotely. But I agree many people don't need to do this. My company, though, wants people to leave their PCs on so they can get automatic updates and be centrally managed.
There has been an option to create messenger only accout (so you could do that for your grandma who would not have figured facebook anyways, but you can send her photos now)
Sad that the reporter didn't ask more pointed questions about why the "I am right here next to the container" photo never led to ANY kind of stoppage of the container. Not at the first port, not at the next two canadian ports before it left. Not at any of the ports on the way to the UAE.

WHY? How is it so impossible to identify a container and stop it? There's something about this story that doesn't make sense re: the "we can't do anything" hands up in the air that this poor guy has had to deal with.
I think that's because it's a hard to grow a new community. I don't think that makes it invalid. The primary reason people look for a new platform seems to be because their behavior wasn't accepted on more mainstream platforms.

Lemmy has some content problems, but I haven't ever noticed it nearly as bad. Mastodon is somewhere in between, but at least there's some good stuff there. Threads is definitely the chillest microblog platform but feels a bit too artificial at times. I would personally take Twitter, even at its current state, over Blue Sky all day long.
Counterintuitive, but try turning the transmit power down on your APs - it’ll reduce the intersection without compromising signal quality where you actually want it. I used to almost reflexively turn them all up to full, but that, it turns out, is a fool’s errand.
Get two FAANG jobs
I quit amazon as soon as I had enough to live on (very frugally) for 18 months and a team who was willing to go full-time on our app idea. We had made a little prototype but not released and no traction or biz model. A lot of my confidence came from the 2 extremely talented co-founders who were willing to do the same.

We had realized that it would have been basically impossible for us to hit the milestones you mention without going all-in, full-time. That was the carrot.

The stick was that I didn't like my job very much. I loved my co-workers at amazon and the pay for a new grad broke college kid was kind of surreal, but my inflated ego could not stand being such a lowly cog in such a giant machine. I had just spent almost 3 months on a 3 line tax calculation in a checkout flow (had to work on several continents and query a silly amount of internal java services).

It also made me feel pretty safe that I had just done well in a perf review and my manager told me I could come back any time.

Beyond my own story, I'd add that I've now seen many people do this and none of them have expressed any regrets despite most not getting a win with the startup. For a certain type of person there's just nothing like the high of building something you own and the way that stretches you abilities.
correct, now they are - but OpenAI got a pretty good head start and foothold before Microsoft made an investment, and inarguably, were smaller and nimbler than google at the time - but I am not talking just about openAI, google has many, many products and services - they need to defend them all from lots of different startups and smaller players simultaneously who only need to be good at that one thing to start making dents in googles armour.
> They were also encouraged by Musk saying that Tesla would deliver v12 not as “beta” software.

A magazine subscription is entirely different. With online services the company can trivially monitor your usage (and likely already do to sell your data / make UX decisions)
These days most accounts are geolocated by your phone number, in my experience anyway.
> a game labeled "Internet connection required" is really saying "Developer-hosted server required"

Because it literally isn't saying that! It is hinting at it.

Having an internet connection is a subset of the requirement to access to the developer-hosted server. If the actual requirement is "Must have access via the internet to a service that we run but may shut down whenever we feel like it won't harm our reputation too much" then that is what they should write.
I was thinking about trying this out, but there are some reasons why I don't think it's feasible.

Where are your comments stored?

What happens when you need to run out in the middle of a fire and you don't have time to make your code compile-able? How do you commit "un-compile-able" changes?

I think there are some really compelling reasons to try AST-checkin - all your loops can now be changed to functional, dialect changes like you mention, etc. - but there are some pretty significant downsides as well.
"They" being Meta, yes.

"They" being engineers, eh?

It's a tough sell to justify greenfield dev effort when there's a BigCorp paved road laid out for you.
You can book with Airbus-Only carriers though like JetBlue
I do sometimes wonder if the same attributes that puts people at their top of their fields is the same atribute that makes them more willing to sacrifice their integrity for prestige... It seems like this just happens too frequently (or maybe it just appears that way because these are media reported).
Would Microsoft possibly just reenable this through updates?

Tangentially related: Windows 11 (pro, at least) does not initially let you create a local account (in the setup wizard, it will try to force you to log in with an online account). UNLESS, you just intentionally use incorrect credentials... In which case it will then pop up with 'Not a recognised account. Would you like to create a local account for now?'. But, then it will disable updates past a certain point. So I guess MS has got me, there.
Ah the eloquence of Dr. AR Dykes, perfectly said. Thank you.
I'll be your sacrificial lamb. The acronym is FAGMAN. I really wish the word "fag" wasn't a disgusting slur for a marginalized sexual minority, because if anyone deserves the nastiness of that word, it's not gay people, it's fucking FAGMAN.
Another issue I've thought about is a lot of the time a company doesn't just go bankrupt and then everything suddenly ceases to exist, parts get bought by other companies. Will there be a transfer of this liability to continue service as part of buying anything connected to it, or otherwise that they must release the crown jewels that may undermine the value in buying it.

Even in the case where it does trigger a public domain release, when the company is shutting and staff are trying to find new jobs, are they going to spend the time auditing they are able to release it?

I all seems like wishful thinking by gamers where their 'skin in the game' might be $60, or less if they got it on sale or a free to play title, or a trail of microtransactions that presumably they want to keep online but wasn't enough to keep the game going.

Since the prompt part of this project is highly inspired by Vercel's v0.dev, I chose a name that shows my respect for that product.
It also depends on if they will refresh it every year. The AirPods Max came out a while ago and the price still hasn’t dropped.
This includes assets right or some kind of prebuilt data in custom formats? Otherwise it would be hard to have this much data in source files.
Fixing a broken smart cat feeder with ESP32
Eh, I’ve done it a dozen times and it was amazing every time except the last one when I was expecting some bad news in the near future. If I did shrooms with my death looming, I feel like I might have lost my mind. Be careful, though I guess you don’t have a lot to lose. If I were you, I would go the stimulant (amphetamine) and opiate route since it’s a lot more easily accessible fun and will probably help you mentally cope with this period better.
We kinda do; Amazon puts upwards pressure on US engineering salaries.
I like to go for the people and satellite events, but Defcon itself is very poorly run in my opinion. It is insanely crowded to the point that most of the time you are just stuck in a sea of people. It also continues to get more and more expensive. The talks are nice, but it's tough to curate which ones to attend because that often requires getting in line early for that talk so you end up with a limited itinerary. Cost of admission is increasingly starting to feel not worth it and there is a lot to dislike about vegas which seems to amplify a lot of the worst things about America. Having said all that, if you've never been before, you would probably have a good time the first time around, especially if you are a little bit outgoing.
The other odd one is Netflix since it's much smaller than the others.
They're saying that there's no one to obligate in that scenario. The company made one product, then disappeared. Unless you mean their cloud providers should release their setup, but that would have bigger issues.
Product Managers and Division Managers and Staff Engineers and Research Scientists do, and there are thousands of each of these at Google.

Maybe the problem is deeper and stem from culture and hiring practices that privilege academia, instead of real world industry and engineering experience?
No, have you? If so, where?
My reading of this document is that certain software development activity (e.g., “corrective maintenance to debug, diagnose, and fix programming errors”) is not SRE.

This seems to contradict your statement that “all software development costs [are] to be treated as r&d,” but my experience is that you know what you’re talking about. What am I missing here?
Challenge of who is a bigger dick: a guy who is openly racist, makes fun of other people language skills and makes it a principle to act like a dick vs the guy who got hysterically overprotective - a challenge we truly deserve.

I don't personally believe in the "bigger dick" narrative when the whole point of trolling is provoke someone to loose their cool. The piano guy spend good few minutes poking those asian people, making fun of them and even tried grabbing one of them.

The biggest dick is the one who is looking for conflict, not the one whom they found during their trolling quest.

> I don’t understand why businesses can’t just say that their engineering department is a cost center (COGS) instead of classifying engineer salaries as R&D expenditures.

I spent a bunch of time on this last week with my experts-for-hire, as well as reading IRS guidance and 3rd party analyses. My understanding is:

- Previously you could decide whether to capitalize/amortize your R&D expenses or not. Now you must capitalize/amortize.

- Previously, you could choose to take the R&D credit for R&D activities, or not, regardless of whether you capitalized/amortized. That is still true.

- Previously, software development was only considered an R&D activity in certain circumstances. Now, the IRS has "clarified" that they consider the process of software development to be so similar to the process of traditional R&D that it should nearly always be considered an R&D activity and therefore should be capitalized/amortized.

One thing that's been frustrating is how, in discussions about this issue, software development is being spoken of nearly exclusively in the context of businesses developing software for themselves, either for internal use or resale. Left universally unmentioned are all the contractors, development shops, etc. who are developing software on a work-for-hire basis. How these companies should classify their engineers' work is not particularly clarified by the IRS guidance, but my understanding is that a consensus of "big" accounting firms is that these salaries should continue to be deducted as they were before.
> The 2024 salary cap for all GS employees is $191,900 per year. You cannot be offered more than this under any circumstance.

> https://join.tts.gsa.gov/compensation-and-benefits/

That is the page where you find jobs for 18F, nothing there indicates anyone at 18F is not on the GS scale.

It's important to note that that is GS15, step 10, with the maximum locality adjustment (which I think is just Alaska but California is not far behind). GS15 step 1 is going to be $123k before any locality adjustment so still very likely under $150k/yr unless you're in one of the highest cost areas. Alaska is 32%; most midwest states are 17%.
Not to be confused with LoRa ("long range"), a radio communication protocol. At first I thought this could be about using LLMs to find optimal protocol parameters, but alas.

It wasn't Airbus that had multiple problems in the past because of multiple missing bolts in doors, rudders etc., or complete failures of planes out of greed
That's the problem with the reputation and the perception of safety. If you lose it then even if you finally fix the underlying issues people will still have a hard time believing you.
I'm not an expert but I know there is a long history of railway police having the power of sworn officers. They are effectively quasi-governmental. (Although there is a clear conflict of interest when it comes to choosing to pursue crimes that aren't commercially relevant)

These should show a relationship to roughly equivalent sites in Siberia, and therefore to closely related early haplotypes in Eurasia.

But the link is broken for me, and so this is a comment on just the headline.
I’m convinced that once a company reaches ~$10m/year in AWS spend it becomes entirely reasonable to hire an in-house engineer whose sole job is to find cost savings opportunities. Literally a “find unused stuff and turn it off” engineer.
What did your intellectual property lawyer tell you when you talked to them about this?
jai feels like a set of easy but not very deep sugar extensions around c. There is no big though story about aliasing, ABI and call optimizations in jai unfortunately. There are dozens of similar projects (V lang, caught caught, C3, ...) from authors frustrated by C but without stable foundation.
If you’ve met someone who’s in the middle of a manic episode, it’s pretty clear that “energy” is just a surface level description of what’s happening to them. These people find meaning and value in everything around them, and appear to be energetic because that’s exciting to them but also because they need to work at a rapid speed in order to communicate all the things they see. They also have a habit of transitioning rapidly from one idea to another even when these ideas don’t seem connected.

This is why depression, a lack of meaning, is described as the other side of the coin of mania: because mania is an overload of meaning.

This is also not a good definition of schizophrenia at all. Schizophrenics are people who, in extreme cases, can experience full-blown hallucinations. Meaning and connections don’t create literal hallucinations.
bwhahaha "We've agreed to conceal Andrew's full name and address...." while his very non-obscured face is on screen in nice medium shot. Seriously? Like WTF kind of protection is that. It's one facial rec scan away from having his mom's maiden name, name of first pet, and the street he grew up on away.

That's some hard hitting journalism

i've been owning a 5 kwh offgrid for the last 3 years. its been a blast and i really enjoy the independence it gives. dont have much by way of storage, its primarily on-grid so i get offsetting benefit which is good enough for me because i can use electricity as much as i want.

i really dont care about "carbon costs" or "offsets". i care about increasing my energy use and reducing my monthly bill. my solar has helped me do that so i am happy and i encourage everyone for doing so

> They work 2-4 hours a day remotely and are so senior they would be very difficult to replace.

Everyone is replaceable. I'd argue this is entirely the continuance of zero-rate interest phenomenon and corporations are waking up to it. e.g. Google just announced more layoffs this morning.
I'm 40, and have been doing just that for the past six months, while gaming.

You get used to the weight very quickly, and weight in general isn't an issue so much as balance is. Using a rigid attachment and adding more weight to offset in the back helps a lot.

For what it's worth, I'm using a Pimax Crystal QLED. Without going through the trouble of looking it up, I believe it's about 2.5-3x the overall weight of the AVP.

I'm looking forward to using it (or the AVP) for productivity as well. The only thing stopping me at the moment is that my favorite app for that purpose - and by a long shot - is Immersed. It's not available for Pimax. They do plan to support AVP, and I'll likely get one for that purpose alone.
Yes, I would say the root problem is the government has outsourced its responsibility to a non governmental entity. Non governments should never have law enforcement authorities.
Yeah; maybe that is the point of "Subscription" gaming.

Netflix frequently removes shows from their collection. Maybe they don't want us to pay for - and own - specific games. Maybe the idea is to convince us to pay $10/month for access to Ubisoft's "complete" collection of titles, with new games coming out regularly and old games being retired at a steady rate.

That would surely mean, not paying sticker price for a new game, right Ubisoft? Riiight?

Even with music I'm increasingly missing my old CD library. I miss knowing that I'll always be able to play my favorite songs even if some music lawyers have a fight, or my internet connection drops out. The subscription economy sure seems brittle.
My understanding from reading much of OPs responses is that “the cloud” may be vendor locked to AWS. There are serious issues there to hosting your code on servers most likely owned by a competitor. E-Commerce, video streaming, games, AI, video production, electronics, retail, pharmaceuticals, logistics, publishing, etc. Like they literally picked the worst vendor to build this on.
Doesn't mention whether he has insurance. surely you would buy insurance after your first car was stolen
Well, once we ID the problem there’s still the “fix it” part. The fact that so much of the world is heading the wrong way on this is not reassuring that we have any realistic hope of doing that.
And to be blunt, it's a demand coming from white nationalists, fascists, and reactionary Evangelicals.

One of the American right's most treasured patterns is precisely this: to engage in relentless obvious dog-whistling and nodding and "plausibly denial" celebration cultivation and signaling around ugly and reprehensible beliefs and intentions, which are not (yet) openly stated,

and then to clutch pearls and bluster.

And the cowed, coopted, and largely pwned, so-called MSM "meekly" backs away and as desired, forever couches egregious behavior, statements, and dog-whislting in weak tea language such as "allegedly" or convoluted passive language which declines to state the obvious.

Me I will always look hard and close at why someone is incensed about this pattern being called out. The most typical answer, unremarkably, is that it's because they are aware they are complicit, yet they are still uncomfortable with that being in the air and light.
I've had two family doctors over the last four years, and they've both closed their practice to become specialists; much better paying, much easier work. I've been going to walk-in clinics who technically have "consistent" doctors I see every time I go in, but those people vanish without a trace, too.
my point is geared towards in general like The Crew is not the only game getting shut down, have you seen the list? https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/connectivity-and-performa... This happens every year and they make a dozen games unplayable every year. This should be ILLEGAL without providing a means
For me the absurd size of data in the game I worked on, terrabytes of video, mocap data, assets, made cloud hard and expensive. Cloud makes me think of all that time I'm blocked on network up and my poor data caps for my employees
This would enable some advanced merge conflict resolution strategies, I suppose. However, it can also be done by building the ASTs on demand and still storing plain text.
The fact that the faang virus is spreading to startups is really bad news.

Startups are high risk high reward and do unconventional things, hire unconventional talent.

The fact that any startup is taking a faaang approach -

The ceo of a great startup must be the talent detector first and foremost,

If the CEO of startups are not doing the talent sourcing and attracting, what are they even working on.

It's amazing how people get used to stuff. I remember well how awful those sodium lamps were when they were first put in, and how nearly everyone hated them in part because they made everything look ugly.
