> Serious lack of empathy in this thread

I think it's something learned, and that is, something taught by the far right ideological movement and others trying to create cultural change. Empathy is outre, it's embarassing. Embracing contempt and cruelty makes people look smart, these days.

Empathy is fundamental to human rights, freedom (for others), equality, equity, justice, fairness. It leads to truth. By attacking that fundamental infrastructure (the empathy), you can undermine it all.
same for the last 20 years: Brother laser printer, "this is the way"
From the docs it appears this is only for open-ended survey questions.

Do any tools exist to detect suspicious behaviour for e.g. multiple choice surveys? I'm thinking of tab switching to Google for an answer for instance.

Probably Ghost Automation
It is when systems are intentionally designed to be extremely low friction to initiate and extremely high friction to cancel. In a lot of cases that’s exactly what happens.

To be fair, there should probably be a national consumer protection law that ties complexity of cancellation to complexity of sign up.
travesty of justice doesn't begin to describe it. there must be something else wrong besides just the software? how could the justice department just blindly trust the software accounting without any other evidence.
Most people would call vegetable rotten when they start to ferment, but that's just like for cheese, it makes them better raw (for peppers, onions, garlic, grapes, etc..)
> Most places have segments in their contract that state if you do a chargeback or block a payment, they will terminate your account,

When terminating my account is exactly what I want, that's totally fine.

This does highlight yet another problem with consolidating to huge companies. You'll never be able to charge back to a behemot like amazon or google, they'll just erase you off large parts of the internet which would be problematic.

But with smaller vendors that you are trying to get rid of and never want anything to do with them again, it works wonderfully.
No, axioms are hypotheses. In general, a mathematical proof has the form "If [conditions] are met, then [result] is guaranteed." This requires no faith whatsoever that [conditions] will ever be met.

But those numbers that require the totality of my computer's N bits of storage to represent? I can, without reservation, believe that every integer between zero and 2^N-1 exists. But incrementing that biggest number will be challenging. I hear you scoff; surely there are bigger numbers, you can just buy more hard drive. And I can! But there are only finitely many hard drives available for purchase, many more than I can afford, so I'd rather save my money and believe in less.
I'm with you that someone who has been paying for a service despite not using it shouldn't necessarily be entitled for a refund.

That said, I wholeheartedly believe that there should be a legal requirement for any subscription to be as easy to cancel as it is to sign up. Gym memberships are notoriously for being criminally difficult to cancel. It's beyond ludicrous that I can sign up for a gym online or at my local gym, but can't cancel the same way. Nope, I have to pick up a form (which only the manager can give you, which means I have to go there when he's there, and he'll be conveniently unavailable), fill it out, mail it, and hope they don't conveniently "lose" it. And even if they don't lose it, they'll just sit on it for 2-3 months before the payments stop.

Interesting, thanks. I was looking for an open source solution though, sorry for not specifying.
Given their configuration of just 4U spread across 17 racks, there's likely a bunch of compute in the rest of the rack, and 1-2 top of rack switches like this:

https://www.qct.io/product/index/Switch/Ethernet-Switch/T700...

And then you connect the TOR switches to higher level switches in something like a Clos distribution to get the desired bandwidth between any two nodes:

PyGame (PyGame Zero), do something which could be written by you in 2 hours, take two weeks with the kid, with a lot of talking beforehand.

Doesn't have to be (AT ALL) pretty. Just meaningful.
in no particular order:

public speaking (giving talks on programming projects)

starting (and selling) a startup (even better)

made a side project that's used by lots people (open source maybe?)

winning hackathons or competitions (if you can)

etc.

If you focus on one or have done all of these (even better) then that is more than extraordinary for employers not to ignore you.
I think the UK kinda just needs to build its own “internet” like China does. Apps for UK people to get spied and surveilled upon and generally “kept in line”. Also maybe a courtesy firewall so they don’t feel completely left out.
Unfortunately Labour (with the exception of when they had Corbyn in charge) are habitually authoritarian. The mark of a party of lawyers, perhaps. So, no real opposition.
> Yes, but you want alignment even if you don't want censorship.

Instruction tuning helps a lot with this but what a lot of people mean is the refusal to do things. You get to chose how "aligned" it is, for some usecases like talking to customers you definitely want something very "safe" (won't start using slurs or something terrible). But for direct usage you generally never want it to refuse to do anything.

People are complaining, loudly, about pricing. Demand for staples is just inelastic. Every person I know who isn't making a comfortable salary (6 figs+ in California) constantly complains about having no money and taking a significant QoL hit because of CoL prices.
True, although I'd rather pay the few dollars for that and the 10 minutes in the post office, than spend endless hours on hold just to be hung up on and start again.
it's an absolute masterpiece.
I find this refreshing that someone does business according to their values, not allowing money to buy everything.

I believe generally letting things happen as long as money comes without any regards to values behind the things might have been detrimental.
Meanwhile, Epson will sell you a printer that just takes ink. Not cartridges, just ink. From a bottle. They aren't particularly cheap, but that's the deal.

> Also even then a lot of those comments still miss why I take issue with the "evolutionary dead end" implication, which is that it is presented as evolutionary survivors somehow being inherently better compared to what went extinct. Evolutionary dead ends do exist, but in reality extinction often comes down to (un)lucky circumstances.

Yes, it a misunderstanding of evolutio, ascribing some sort of teleology on a inherent process as purposeful as multiplication.
Is there a name for efforts that are terrible and often defeated, but are basically inevitable due to just wearing down its opponents over time?
I feel like this might be a good place to share something I learned recently about credit cards: interest accrues daily, not by statement (e.g. monthly). Further, your statement does not accurately reflect what you owe for that billing period. Instead, the interest for that period will be reflected on your next bill.

I had errantly figured I could postpone my payments to the due date and not accrue interest, but that is not the case and I ended up with a few hundred dollars more in interest than I expected.
I live in Europe so I couldn’t. But I would have.
Yes, personal printers are still a thing. My family uses a Brother laser printer. It sits unobtrusively in a corner. We have yet to buy more paper or toner, so we don't print in great volume, but we do regularly need it. We print tickets for events or prepaid parking, documents to sign, envelopes, and crafts for the kid.
Kudos on the unbiased reporting.

I lost access to all of our documentation at work for a week because my (small local) ISP banned all content from Somalia as being suspicious. I had to call their office and explain to them that Notion is a rather large and popular application.
> For me the beginning of the end was in the early 2010s or so

It was February 11, 2011 in Tahrir Square. That, as far as I can tell, was the place and moment where 'tech' changed.

Governments and other organizations were very rudely shaken awake by how 'tech' had just toppled an otherwise stable government at a key choke point of a populous country. How all this newfangled communications tech and silly meme culture came together out of seemingly nowhere and threatened everything.

After Tahrir Square, every government and agency and whatever else saw tech as a very powerful and possibly threatening 'thing'. And they slowly but surely managed to change 'tech', work with it, get hired in it buy it off, and make it and themselves more to their liking and plans. The adolescence was over.

Tahrir Square was when the suits woke up and then went to work in 'tech' because everyone could see that was the future.

Unfortunately, I can not read the paper but according to the article, the study you are citing reviews the cost of immigration, not the cost of not-immigration. (10k/year for the opportunity to move a body through your education system sounds like a pretty good deal though in this context)

How do weak labor force participation rates indicate an oversupply in labor?
Two books that did for me what I think you are looking for:

- Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Hofstadter

GNUcash aint pretty, but it works.
You can dispute that with the credit services though. Which probably won't get you anywhere but it is worth doing.

Make sure you give them negative feedback with the BBB if canceling is too hard.

Though the business model of most gyms (except the expensive ones) is to get you to enroll and then not come, so they won't care.
Crucial addition to #2: make sure it's actually a Brother printer and not rebadged trash like what I bought...
Yes, indeed, it is not, but coincidentally today a person was imprisoned for 50 years for being a little critical about the king of Thailand. 50 years! A young man! It clearly foreshadows this otherwise very good news.

Many people I know live considerable time of the year in Thailand and they are very supportive of the country but in my opinion this particular legislation clearly reminds that not everything is good there and there exists a considerable risk to personal freedom.

I think that we should be vocal about this and not accept it as a "local peculiarity" - voicing disagreement actually can change the world to a better place as silently accepting a wrongdoing clearly does not.

Similarly we should not close our eyes in case of US when it is gravitation toward less freedom. But this news is not about US.
If bugs of that severity were known from the start, then (taking the most generous interpretation), it was incompetence of the highest degree that the software was released.

Linked article says they used 68 machines with 2 x 100GbE Mellanox ConnectX-6 cards. So any 100G pizza box switches should work.

Note that 36 port 56G switches are dirt cheap on eBay and 4tbps is good enough for most homelab use cases
These comments are so blatantly absurd considering in all the cases we're talking about, the user signed up for the service initially. Even if it's a trial, the user is forced to make it abundantly recognized that they will be charged money when the trial is over because they are forced to input credit card information or authorize use of Apple Pay or some other similar service to enter the trial.

I can understand suggesting that services like this, especially when using tech like Apple Pay, have made it too easy to 'check out' through a trial process, but the language is still over-the-top since the user is still clearly considering the product as potentially useful to go through the effort of signing up for a trial or an actual sub. (And on the flipside, Apple Pay, e.g., makes it easy to see all subs in one place and cancel them in one place, so it has that going for it.)

And of course, what illegal practices are you talking about? I'm going to guess most people here aren't blaming the victim if a practice is actually illegal. But I see you're being hyperbolic so maybe I shouldn't bother.

>> I do find the results interesting and wonder how well this translates into program synthesis for example.

In broad terms it's the same generate-and-test approach used for their AlphaCode system but with a theorem prover as a test step. In AlphaCode they use clustering and various heuristics to select programs, here they use the prover.

Eventually, I expect, they'll figure out you can use an automated theorem prover to check the correctness of (logic) programs.
Of course CEOs are just people who make mistakes. In fact, a CEO is simply a specialized worker whose role is making high-level strategic decisions for the company. (And sometimes more tactical ones, depending on the company's scale.) Some are going to be better at that than others. The leverage of that decision-making allows a CEO to add significant value if they make good decisions, or subtract value if they make poor ones. Personally I agree that the best CEOs listen to feedback from other employees (as well as from customers and other stakeholders) and try to achieve a degree of consensus, but I would argue that that too is a skill that adds value.
Yes, antitrust enforcement has really been lacking for decades; though it seems as of late, big mergers have been struck down, so perhaps there's a counterswing in the works.

Very bad. Ordered pairs of real numbers are neither more nor less real than real numbers themselves.

Would you say that the rationals (equivalence classes of ordered pairs of integers) are "less real" than the integers?
It's cool to cluster everything for some people (myself included). I see it more like a design constraint than a pure benefit.
I understand the theory very well - I used to make your arguments. In practice, it doesn't work out so well, and also (and in theory also) people have other drives in addition to maximizing profit. I have a drive to not distribute freedom, survival, peace, and safety based on ability to pay.

Cato's mission is to push this ideology. I don't really buy them as a source (but I already know the theory anyway).

It was definitely Myspace in 1996+. Perhaps they didn't start marketing the brand until 1999? I had to register about 50 variants of that domain name in 99' for them using the all so much fun email template with Internic. As to what relationships they had with other companies I have no clue. The HP SureStore's left the dataceter in 2002 or 2003. I met their CEO in 1999 when they were going to launch the drive space feature. As a fun side note they were the only customer I was ever allowed to let into the datacenter.

Some of the domain variants were MyLinuxSpace, MyBSDSpace, MyWindowsSpace and so on...

The original Investigatory Powers Act and Brexit were the two reasons I left the UK; the latter hit me harder than I expected even by the immediate aftermath of the poll results, but the former was so obviously broken even at the time that I'm surprised the UK even has a tech sector any more… though I suppose, like GDPR, everyone who is being forced to comply is trying to do the least effort version of compliance, and the inherent secrecy is combining with cluelessness about who has exactly what capability to make "do very little" a much easier path than I was expecting.

Cray didn't believe in caches or virtual memory. He felt that data placement and movement should be 100% in the programmer's control.

8MB was the main memory, but it was made from really high speed (and super expensive!) static RAM chips instead of the dynamic RAMs most other machines used. Other machines used SRAMs for caches, so I guess you could consider the Cray 1's main memory to be a cache.

The Cray had 8 "A" address registers but also 64 "B" registers. In the same way you had 8 "S" scalar registers plus 64 "T" registers. The main memory was highly interleaved so you could very quickly load and save blocks of B and T registers as well as the vector registers. You can think of B as a sort of cache for A and T as a sort of cache for S, but you had to explicitly handle this in your program.
It's a terrible idea.

There is no way to make good the harm inflicted, and I'm skeptical that anyone except, maybe the innocent, are going to be punished.

The central villain of this shit show is the Post Office. The history of the project shows that - from initial procurement onwards. Poorly implemented by ICL, a UK company, taken over by Fujitsu as some sort of favour to the UK government. The developers are guilty but this is just another government project, a disaster, but that's apparently nothing really unusual.

The minor villains are the members of the lynch mob. Most were probably ignorant of the facts and so, filled with righteous indignation they did whatever was necessary to make sure that the evil thieves got theirs.

How do you make something like this right? I don't think you can. Shit happens. The villains will keep their heads down for a while, and then like much of politics, will carry on because it seems that there are no consequences anymore.
>I don't know what you're talking about with petty theft. You can still absolutely charge someone with petty theft or petty theft with priors.

CAPC: Say thefts of $950 dollars or less is shoplifting. You cannot add petty theft with priors to it.

>Ok, so your problem is with prosecutors, not with the $950 threshold. Are you sure that CA prosecutors are uniquely unwilling to charge people for non-felony theft?

The law heavily disincentivizes it. And your supes, mayors, and activists push back against prosecutors using the full extent of the law. Often citizens have pass additional laws because existing laws are ignored.

>This is a very different claim than "It is legal."

That's a red herring. I made no such claims. It would be imbecilic to believe it were legal. Other states jail and or fine shoplifters under the felony threshold, Calif does not and has led to increased opportunistic as well as organized shoplifting.
