There's no existing market for Latin translator jobs, because everyone knows the best way to translate a Latin sentence is to translate it poorly and wait for someone to correct it in the comments.
Thanks for the tips!

Listening to The Court right now and the soundscape is really well done.
It's interesting to think about some of the earliest machines we could have run a pretty great LLM on. A Cray XMP-EA from 1986 could address up to 2GW, which would have been 16GB. The XMP or earlier Cray-1 lines could also use multiple solid-state SRAM disks that were up to 1GB in size and could stream at ~1GB/sec.
Cause and effect.

We tell a country you can no longer use our toys. You've been sanctioned! They develop their own toys that threaten to infiltrate us and the rest of the world - much in the same way the original toys do.

We forced them to learn to fish on their own. They are no longer bound to us.

Maybe Michael Corleone was right when he said... "keep your friends close but your enemies closer."
> I do believe it prevents 99.9% of the theft cases mentioned

I don't believe so, or at least where I am from. This 'only' provides additional protection against cases where thieves know your device passcode. I've had my phone stolen from me twice where they couldn't have known my passcode and couldn't remove it from Find My, and it was never seen again.

I'm not sure why you assume malice intentions by default.

Using a legal entity in a more convenient country for a startup seems like a common practice, including listing the address of such entity on the website. You'd be surprised how many companies are incorporated in America, pay taxes there, but have founders/employees/contractors elsewhere around the world.

So, I personally wouldn't count it as active effort of "trying to hide" or "trying to mislead".

> The report mentioned that their LinkedIn profiles changed from showing Moscow to Tbilisi. I'm sure I could also change my location to Tbilisi on my LinkedIn profile. How is that a meaningful argument?

Again, not sure why assume malice intentions. I also updated my Linkedin location when I left Russia, is that surprising?

No, it isn't. There are a lot of people of Chinese ethnicity in Vancouver but it is nowhere near the dominant fraction. But there is a very nice Chinatown (great food).

The ethnic 'whites' are about 50%, ethnic Chinese is now ~25%, it was quite a bit lower when I was still living in Canada so it was definitely on the rise but the increase seems to have leveled off.

Some externally sourced data that more or less confirms this:

Very little most likely. The first step of GPT retrieves for each token a corresponding embedding vector, which is then what's used in the rest of the model. I'd assume those vectors are nearly the same for "color" and "colour".

> i just have no idea how you begin to create a global system of "generic parts" beyond screws and bolts in a world of globalized supply chains, with specialized production in every country.

Older cars were.

Manufacturers never designed their own brake pads, they picked a caliper design that closely fit an existing wheel.

Carburetors? Just fit one from a carburetor manufacturer (weber, etc).

Steering racks, balljoints ... many fit multiple brands.

Alternators, radiators, various water tanks ... all from a common parts manufacturer, then used in several brands. Thermostats used to be a common design too.

Hell, they don't even do their own transmissions - just get a ZF-whatever.

When Hyundai launched their gen-1 Elantra ~1990, it came with a Mitsubishi engine.

Wheel bearings, CV joints - one design fit many different brands.

The repairability of older cars was amazing in retrospect.

Today it's different - you are unlikely to find brake pads from a Ford that fits a Toyota.

The companies spent extra money on design, to make that internal part significantly different, then extra money on tooling to actually build it, just so that you cannot buy a replacement unless its from them.
can someone ELI5 what unlinking a "Facebook account" from a "Messenger account" accomplishes?

IMHO we should strive to remove moats around digital services so new competitor can pop up and provide competing services in a short amount of time but somehow EU thinks creating busy-work for the engineers of incumbents is the right approach.

I already despise the "accept cookies" noise on all websites and don't tell me "Oh, it's bad compliance, blah blah". If so, then write a new more useful law instead.
> things have to be made with generic parts

This seems tricky to legislate though. How do regulators decide which parts are like this? How do you deal with "generic parts" holding back innovation in cases where someone has invented an improved version of that part but it's not available as a generic part yet?
No. Most open-source packages that weren't universal enough to warrant a package often just gave you a c program with the Autotools scripts to build it.

These scripts may or may not have worked for you. The BSD user ports collection was at least curated so that these scripts all worked.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I just think it’s amazing that people expect ANYTHING from stuff provided to them for free.

I will admit, I do have some expectations of the free software I use. I expect it won’t “rm -rf” my files, or mine Bitcoin.

But builds? Open governance? Maintenance? Good grief, what basis would I have to expect any of that from something for which I paid absolutely nothing?
Even if Starlink's approach isn't a proven advantage yet, a competitor's ability to deploy new tech at will, at cost, when you are at their mercy to do so on their schedule and at their price, is not a great signal

Says who? What if B pays 10000x what ACDE do combined? What if B pays for that capacity?

What if B was silent for the 10000 seconds prior? And is now bursting their load just like ACDE do at other times?

There is no objective fair.

Perhaps the only objectively unfair I could think of is if you paid for a service and it's not rendered, at all, ever. That's probably unfair. But everything else is a grey spectrum in between and depends on the agreed upon properties.
A proper configure script should do all that battling for you. At least it did when I needed Emacs on a Dec Alpha machine. I just did ./configure, make, and make install and everything worked.
> the inside/outside thing can very easily be a property of the headphones, not the mix

Not in any of my experience or knowledge. Literally every set of headphones makes it sound like both mono and stereo audio are coming from inside your head, unless the actual mastering is meant to provide an "outside your head" experience.

Originally, the "outside your head" experience only came from binaural recordings, where two microphones were placed inside dummy ears on a dummy head. That led to the famous "virtual barbershop" audio track and similar. The "outside" effect comes from a combination of relative delays* and the head-related transfer function (HRTF) [1] -- how the shape of your head and ear affects the sound waves.

Regular stereo mastering never uses any of these binaural effects, so it always sounds "inside", or "between the ears".

Spatializing stereo, on the other hand, is Apple's (quite successful) attempt to create relative delays and the HRTF. It has nothing to do with the quality or specifications of your headphones, and rather everything to do with the audio signal.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function

*To be precisely accurate, I believe the delays are actually included as part of the overall HRTF.
I remember vaguely on one Chinese car in Eastern Europe cca 1 year ago, which was cheapish, but made from cheap plastics, squeaking, infotainment was booting 30 seconds and ICE engine, despite its relatively small volume was taking 10 liters per 100km. I don't think that they have sold many of them.

I think you have misunderstood what I said. Wall Street Journal -- the website -- is blocking me. Ironically, I use Cloudflare DNS and archive.is links now work, even though they used to be an endless captcha loop.

The message I get from WSJ is the following. Note: the following does NOT happen when browsing with Chrome.

You have been blocked

Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.

There are various possible explanations for this:
- You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
- Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
- There is a robot on the same network as you.

I am used to these kind of sites calling me a robot, so I guess the third point is true to some extent :)

P.S. I had to change the Accept-Language headers in Firefox to get this message in English. Otherwise I get machine-translated gibberish, which is ironic considering the page is accusing me of being a machine.

This article puts together a lot of real things that exist and confuses what is actually happening. The new technologies aren't replacing the old ones. They are supplementing them. Not only that, but the author is apparently confused about a lot of the pieces.

I'll take just the Infrastructure as Code section since I know the most about it. First it says Infrastructure as Code was a bunch of DSLs like Ansible, Chef, and Puppet. No, those were the second wave of "Configuration Management". Some folks might include them in "Infrastructure as Code", but I wouldn't. They are tools to manage configuration of traditional servers. They have some IaC capabilities, but they are very limited and not really the core of what these tools provide.

Terraform and CloudFormation are the real exemplars of "Infrastructure as Code". They take a declarative, relatively static approach to defining infrastructure. That's honestly fine for most cases. But I'd lump the AWS CDK and Pulumi in here too. They aren't something new, they just bring the ability to use more traditional languages to the game. But they don't fundamentally provide more flexibility than traditional TF or CF, because they are still bound to the static plan/apply cycle.

I'd not heard of "Composition as Code" until reading this article. But to the extent its meaning is clear from this context, the author isn't making any sense. The author says CaC allows developers to use "finer grained" infrastructure specification than IaC, but if anything, that's the opposite of what they do. By abstracting things into broader chunks of multiple pieces of infrastructure, they are by definition working with "coarser grained" infrastructure.

Anyway, as folks here point out, the movement towards highly specific components rather than actual code for building cloud-hosted services just trades one set of problems (scaling; dealing with VMs; having sysadmins) for another (business logic spread out over dozens of individual "components"; impossibility of rapid testing and troubleshooting; requires massive supporting observability infrastructure to make sense of).
The first. I can't see how the part would cost more than the whole with the first regulations.
if all "you or I" wash at home then that's the actual "orders of magnitude more runoff waste" compared to if everybody did it at the car wash. Car washes have to purify the water since it's actually possible to do it there since all the washes happen at the same place
I'm not sure that I'm hearing the disagreement. You want stable binaries without paying anything, which I understand but that's not an open source thing. The only way I could see it being an open source issue is if the build steps they provide to the community are different than what they actually like internally, and even then you're really hedging on a particular definition of the preferred form for modification clause that I think the GPL has.
Saying you are "transformational to [their] company" implies the companies are in need of, or could be improved by, transformation - that can be a rather foreign idea to many people who are used to maintaining the status quo.
> She offered to leave the phone in a pharmacy across town! I don't know how that would've helped.

If I had been the one to find your phone, I probably would have told you to suggest some other drop off place I can take it to that isn't too far out of my way, and if you could not or would not I would have probably taken it to a police station.

I would not leave it in the Waymo, even if that is what you wanted, because I have no guarantee that some other Waymo passenger after me will find it and steal it before you can get it back from Waymo. That could leave me as the last person known to have been in possession of the phone. I have no interest in becoming a suspect in the theft of your phone.
If you can't build it then in what sense can you be said to have obtained the source code to the application? How can you be sure that the code that you have obtained is even related to that application?

Slightly off-topic but a question I've been wanting to ask: as someone with a terrible sense of direction, the most important feature in a phone for me is the accuracy of the little arrow on the map that shows me which way I'm facing. I'm an android user, and it kind of shows a blue "cone of uncertainty" when it isn't sure which way its pointing, and occasionally asks either to move the phone in a figure of eight or to point at nearby building to calibrate.

What is the limiting factor here, technologically? Are iPhones better than android? Is it the hardware (accelerometer?!, compass?), the GPS signal, the software? It still, quite often, seems to get confused and show the cone in the wrong direction. It's so important to me that I would almost switch to iPhone if it definitely works better.
No pranking, no real adult themes. Lots of silly games that while I might not enjoy are at least not crossing any clear morality lines. It might not be Mr. Wizard but pretty wholesome compared to the other stuff I have seen online.

Additionally from the interviews I have seen from him, he seems grounded and treats his employees well.

There are different ways to define "wholesome" but when looking at clips/videos of that get mass produced these days, I could see classifying his as wholesome.

Given that open source is a side project for so many people, it seems this is also a natural side effect of how much the software engineering community has been rattled by big changes in the market (at least on the US). As much as I appreciate contributions to much of the tech I love to use, I would certainly want folks to prioritize what's critical to their livelihood and well-being. There's a lot of cognitive load already on people lately.

First off, I reject outright everything coming from Robert Reich but I digress...

There are some big problems here, first and foremost the idea that because Airbus is owned by governments that makes it some how better. Also they seem to not understand that "Boeing’s four largest shareholders" being Vanguard, and State Street means most likely Boeing largest Shareholders are peoples 40K's and IRA's. Meaning everyday middle class American's

Nothing in this standard Reich diatribe against capitalism, in favor of socialist utopia of Workers Unions would solve all problems accurately identifies the actual problems at Boeing I was talking about in my parent comment.

Boeing being owned by Vanguard is a problem, but not because Vangaurd seeks to maximize profits, infact in recent years so called "Stakeholder Capitalism" which I believe Reich is also a proponent of has taken over Vangaurd and even more so Black Rock which puts a whole host of things over profits, and IMO this "Stakeholder Capitalism" is the root cause of the problem. It is a cancer in Business.
I sometimes like to ask provocatively "What would have happened had COVID happened 25 years ago?" (Don't sweat the exact timeline. I'm about right.) Yes, vaccines/medical issues but that's somewhat orthogonal.

I think the answer was that most office workers would have struggled to work. Yes, we could have mapped home phones to office numbers, bought people cell phones and paid for their plans, subsidized a second phone line, etc. But it would have been hard and difficult; most people would have been nowhere near prepared. I suspect at the end of the day, we'd mostly have made do for a month or three, said screw it, and reopened offices even if we knew more people would probably get sick. Oh, and forget things like grocery delivery or streaming TV (Netflix DVD barely existed) for the most part.
Node.js – v21.6.1
It's been a "fun" time in Detroit lately. The Big 3 have been forcing people back into the office some, with increasingly shrill demands. Last year, GM required us to come back 3 days a week, you pick the days. Managers looked at that, listened to employees and it was quickly 2 days, then they weren't enforcing it at the HR level at all, so it was no days. Until suddenly in December, after a bit of a struggling year, we got an email (at the same time as our managers and senior managers, make of that what you will) that they had actually been tracking badge swipes in aggregate and that we would all be returning to the office 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday starting the second week in January. Then it got delayed two weeks because there literally weren't enough seats for everyone, much less seats in the building you were assigned to, much less parking, much less parking for the building you were assigned to. And wouldn't you know it, about 6 years ago, GM had moved to "hoteling" or "hot desking" with an intentional 90% capacity for the number of people assigned to the building, but the COVID hiring binge hit us too, so now there were main buildings with as low as 60% capacity for the number of people assigned. Then, we got an updated email, some teams were going to come back a few weeks later, so that IT and facilities would have enough time to fix problems as they arose and get desks setup, etc. Then we had an ugly winter storm. Then it got delayed another two weeks. Now it's the second week in February. Order, followed by counter order, equals disorder. Isn't RTO fun guys?
