Literally almost happened to me on a trip last week. Driving on I95 and two people were headed to change to the same lane, one slow from the left and one flying up on the right (across three lanes). They see each other and react at the same time, the one on the left going back to their lane but the one on the right, with their angle and excess speed, overcorrects and starts to fishtail. Their car is then pointing directly at mine and barely misses t-boning me, instead hitting the barrier head-on to my left. Always practice defensive driving and have a dashcam.
Best comment! He's almost as bad as that jerk who was paying for surgeries to cure people's blindness. :-)
Bitcoin from a privacy standpoint is not good for various reasons. First, if you make a transaction with someone, that person now knows your account and can easily find out your bitcoin balance, all due to the blockchain being public for everyone to see. Second, if the bitcoin account you are using was created on a website similar to coinbase, kraken, binance etc, your personal ID is completely tied to your bitcoin wallets created in those platforms. Of course there are ways to circomvert those but in a general sense and at its core Bitcoin is just terrible for privacy.
These guys are much faster than openrouter, and their llama2 runs faster than 3.5-turbo. Amazing work.
And yet there are many examples of exactly that.

> "will match the end of a string, but also match before a newline at the end of a string."

Is it just me, or is this a poor description? I understood $ to be an anchor for end of line, not end of string, i.e. "match before a newline anywhere". The emphasis "newline at the end of a string" feels misleading; the exploit works because the matched newline isn't at the end of the string and there is exploit code after it.

> "I've always found plain old procedural parsing code easier to formulate, trace and reason about."

A regex is a domain specific language which lets you express a lot of computation in a small amount of code. At the extreme, you're saying "I can write a regex engine easier than I can write a regex". "I can write assembler easier than I can write C". "I can write a list of a thousand items quicker than I can write range(1000)". It doesn't make sense, and for anything more than trivial cases, I don't believe it.

(I'll agree that there are places they are inappropriate, expressions which aren't clear, and maybe the extra effort of doing it by hand is worth it in security sensitive situations, but I claim it is extra effort and less clear what a pile of ifs/loops/switch is trying to achieve vs "[a-f]{3}(\d)" or whatever).
During the early stages of the Syrian civil war, when there was significant pressure being put on the Western world to directly intervene with boots on the ground, the BBC fabricated a documentary about a napalm attack on a school. This documentary was called "Saving Syria's Children."

This featured doctors (and medical staff) being directly linked to Syrian opposition groups[1] (with their voices being dubbed[2], originals still on BBC), actors unintentionally exposing themselves[3], Syrian opposition fighters claiming the attack never took place[4] and when all of this was reported to the BBC they decided to simply memory hole the event and take down the documentary from YouTube, as well as some effort in taking down YouTube videos uploaded by others that feature some of the content.

It's worth comparing the footage from the documentary to a historical napalm victim footage[5] from Egypt which shows the severity of napalm attacks in comparison to what we see in the documentary.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm far from being supportive of the Syrian government or unaware of their shocking actions during the conflict, but this entire production was a theatrical construction by the BBC.

> it's either that aliens are real or there are a lot of nutjobs in the US government.

I know that at least one of these things is true. I can prove it. I wish it wasn't the boring one.
This is all very fine in theory but in the case of the re-invasion of Ukraine, we have, as I mentioned, plenty of evidence and 2 years worth of analysis. We don't have to think about this from first principles or parallels to other wars, we know what actually took place in Ukraine - from the operation in Hostomel airport, the effective and ineffective activated Russian agents, the prepared parade uniforms, the near instant deployment of civil administration, the ready 'filtration camps', etc.

And since you mention Afghanistan, the illustrative parallel is really this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajbeg_Palace_assault

which did in fact result in the immediate decapitation and replacement of the Afghan government within hours of the beginning of military operations.
Which one? They all seem more likely than not.
One among many, they pushed back for years even allowing installs on iphones
Listened to an episode of the “The Daily” podcast on what they called hybrid malaise about 15 min ago. It was so obviously biased toward RTO I was yelling at the radio and my wife had to tell me to calm down. Gaslighting was exactly what they were doing with things like “you’re not going to get promoted unless you go back to the office” and “when looking for workers to layoff the ones remote are the first to go “ etc. really pissed me off because some people will take the podcasters seriously and not see the manipulative motive behind them.
Not just because of the filter list cap. It also reduces ad blockers to static filter lists instead of powerful dynamic filters.

MV3 makes it impossible for ad-blockers to inspect requests with code and then allow/deny dynamically.
What should the platform that has to provide the bandwidth, apps for phones, cars, smart devices(echo), tracking snd paying out the artist earnings, etc have a right to? They are losing money with 30% and no streamer has made money.
I think the writing in Baldur's Gate 3 is successful for what it is. It's roughly Marvel movie quality, i.e. dumb but fun, big emotions etc. It's not particularly interesting, and tbh I find the result far less immersive than games with less dialogue but more exploration - at least then I can think my own character's thoughts, instead of being this dumb mute in all the heavy dialogue trees of BG3.
Microsoft Teams went down around the world for over eight hours
"Employee productivity is at an all time low" is quite the statement without facts and figures. Do you have any proof?
My theory is they are real but they’re not aliens. They are another hominid species who live here on Earth. My explanation is actually pretty good if you condition on the assumption that they are real - if you do that, ET is very unlikely comparatively. I can kind of explain everything you see in various ways, some hard to vary, some not.
> what difference does the date make?

I'm not following your argument in the least. My point is about time management. I am a habitual dog walker/hiker and need to know whether I can offer a quick search as close as possible to the time the pet went missing, or whether I should carry on as usual knowing that my dogs seem to notice all living and recently demised earthbound things in our travels. If a tropical bird has been lost, the minutes and hours are critical, while the days and weeks missing are just plain sad.

EDIT: I also live in a wintery climate, so yes, posting the date gone missing is critical information.
Reading about this subject on this site feels like having fallen into the twilight zone.

No one I know working outside of tech is even close to this in their attitudes towards remote work. Nowhere else is anyone who disagrees "gaslighting". Nowhere else is this all a "plot by commercial real estate".

Most want the flexibility to work remotely when they need to (or a few days a week), but prefer working alongside their coworkers for a variety of reasons. The complaints about entire divisions or floors being ghost towns and it being impossible to find the person for help with something are perennial.

I know there's some selection bias in who comments on the topic, but I think there's more to it: most people here work in a context where they take a ticket, work on it, etc with ideally minimal synchronization points or meetings. Of all forms of work it's among the most well suited (there are others) to working remotely.

Not to mention the absolutely horrific Bay Area commutes. I don't blame you all.

But have some humility.

You don't represent the norm in work.
My biggest problem with the RTO argument is that it's not quantitative. Give me the numbers not the feels.

If you are a massive company, by allowing full remote you could be saving hundreds of millions of dollars on real estate, office upkeep, electricity, etc. You can recruit employees from all over the country so your access to talent is superior and you can afford to pay talent less.

These benefits are easy to analyze, it's just a massive amount of money and time being saved.

Now to go to the less tangible benefits that don't necessarily positively impact the business itself, employees can live in cheaper cost of living areas and actually have the ability to one day own property. Massive reductions in carbon emissions because of 0 commute. Massive time savings for employees because of 0 commute that they can then use to spend more time with family or friends, exercise, or sleep more (all of which could lead to healthier employees). Oh, and they will actually be able to live close to family since they will not need to move to a different state / city. There will be much more efficient use of space, office space is basically redundant when employees can work from home. This freed up space could be used for housing which we desperately need. I'm sure I could come up with a million more benefits of wfh.

To advocate for return to office you need to make all these logical leaps that somehow being together in person will result in us making more money than what we save from being remote and is better for employees somehow.
You can’t be having those opinions! It is illegal to nit like full remote work around these parts
How different is "if" and "for" between oldest C and the newest C++? If you don't change your approach to programming, such as by switching to map/filter/reduce, how can you reduce number of lines?
Thanks for the response! One thing that may help - dealing with impoliteness is an expectation of a __people__ management role, but not an expectation I would have of project or product managers. If you’re consistently seeing PM burnout, it will only hurt your position to defend it by appealing to the manager name in their job title.
Yep, that stuff only exists in New York, London and the SF Bay Area.

St Louis, Eindhoven and Bordeaux do not have hospitals, good restaurants and entertainment.
The demo of him sitting on a chair and being moved around shows IMO impressive acceleration. It's probably dependent on how much surface area is contacting the floor, but it certainly looks responsive enough for real usecases.
Yes, but there is no pin nor password for unlock. Or at least there wasn't last time I looked. So calling it a "lock screen" is bit of a stretch...
I would be more worried about the opposite: future software and devices will use memory-safe programming languages like Rust, with C and assembly limited as much as possible, so things like the iPhone and the successors to the Nintendo Switch won't be able to be hacked or jailbroken to run software that wasn't approved by the hardware vendor, because there will be no buffer overflow exploits or dangling pointer vulnerabilities in them.
I'm curious: how come there are no German version of the website? Are most of your (desired) clients not German? Or is it that practically everyone speaks English in Germany so it doesn't matter?
Yeah but per-capita emissions were revealed to me to be a trick that corporations have played on us to make us take responsibility for their sins.

It was easier to ebike in the city, for sure. But a GMC Sierra makes the hills all right too. And it’s much better here for the environment because I’m not endorsing the capitalist view that everything should be grey concrete.
See some comments up top -- the patent is for a fundamentally different source of friction control. Ultrasonic, not mechanical/directional.

Which should make it more amenable to higher-frequency control than mechanical systems would be able to shift at (given they're limited by mass).

That said, having seen high-throughput parcel sorting, the modern tech is amazing and the reason we have flow-through logistics and 1-2 day delivery.

They've got it slowed way down in that video.

Definitely agree on the first point (although maybe not "apocalypse"), but why would that affect residential?
This is the sentiment I hear from my circles. While remote work is great for finding top talent and all (productivity arguments aside). The commercial real estate market is essentially Wile-E-Coyote running in air after running off the cliff.
I have just recently discovered Watts, but I think he may have agreed.

“Watts left formal Zen training in New York because the method of the teacher did not suit him. He was not ordained as a Zen monk, but he felt a need to find a vocational outlet for his philosophical inclinations. He entered Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, an Episcopal (Anglican) school in Evanston, Illinois, where he studied Christian scriptures, theology, and church history. He attempted to work out a blend of contemporary Christian worship, mystical Christianity, and Asian philosophy. Watts was awarded a master's degree in theology in response to his thesis, which he published as a popular edition under the title Behold the Spirit: A Study in the Necessity of Mystical Religion.

He later published Myth & Ritual in Christianity (1953), an eisegesis of traditional Roman Catholic doctrine and ritual in Buddhist terms. However, the pattern was set, in that Watts did not hide his dislike for religious outlooks that he decided were dour, guilt-ridden, or militantly proselytizing—no matter if they were found within Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism.”

I think it’ll eventually lead to them being paid more, because now you can job search without as much risk to your current employment. Once we hit equilibrium again and demand outpaces availability then they’ll be forced to pay competitive wages or deal with attrition.

In 2009, the black budget was estimated to be over $50 billion [1]. It's so huge that the military industrial media complex designed, built, and operated an entire 100 jet wing of secret new fighters in the 1980's [2].

Since we have only a sample of one, I can never make my mind up on about what is probable or improbable.

But I do believe it is technically possible in principle to construct and build von Neuman probes. Once they work inside a solar system, then work on making them withstand, say, a few million years in orbit and see if they still work, once they survive a few million years "inactive" (or constantly repairing themselves or whatever it takes), send them off to the stars. But it would take a patience and scale of industry we humans literally can only vaguely dream of.
Yes. See: https://layoffs.fyi
Glad to hear and thanks for the support. Chapter 3 should be in the MEAP soonish (submitted the draft last week). Will also upload my code for chapter 4 to GitHub soonish, in the next couple of days, just have to type up the notes.
I really got this sense at my last job. Folks became emboldened to do way less work. Or take on busy work and proclaim it as important.

Previously you'd see lots of people hanging around at the office at 8 and 9 PM still working, often even white boarding solutions and having meetings. In WFH, you'd never see folks online and responses would take time. Sprint productivity definitely dropped.

I think WFH == work 20 hours or less for a whole lot of people. We had hundreds of people tenured 6 - 10 years at the place, and they immediately started dropping and finding other work.

I'm now at a startup and we're working nights and weekends. It's a much better environment.

WFH is going to calcify and sink a lot of companies.
This is the real answer. Hope you guys like competing with folks making $30k!

While some prices have decreased, studies show that gouging from pandemic peak times has continued in food. Cost of materials has gone down but prices remain high.

And as for medications, don't expect their prices to go down without legislation and bullying, as shown with insulin. The industry just owns legislators.

Same for housing. Soaking consumers is asymmetrical warfare.
I think the whole thing is working out great, people with bad attitudes and/or outdated views of the world are self filtering!
I linked to a timeline [1] above. We most certainly didn't "do nothing", if you'll excuse the double negative. I do agree with you that the White House actively tried to avoid creating a panic in people, which one can argue was good or bad. But in terms of their actual actions, I don't see too many things that I would have changed, without hindsight.

Though I'd add that even with hindsight, it's not easy to come up with suggestions - because many different countries throughout the world tried all sorts of different approaches, and there was never any real silver bullet. And of course those efforts also, themselves, have consequences which we will be dealing with for years to come. So one has to balance the cost of a solution, rather than just looking for a solution under the logic that it MUST be better than doing nothing (which I am not implying would be ideal either).

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, this is true.

However, as a suburbanite, I have no problem “commuting” to entertainment in the city once every weekend, when previously I had to commute 5 times a week for work. And when I go to the city, it’s a day full of fun/activities because I know I’m not coming back for a week. You can get the best of both worlds that way.

I think this is the case with most open-source projects that have both a cloud and self-hosted opening, they provide a much better experience for their hosted solution and don't spend a lot of effort into making their self-hosted version as usable as it could be.

It’s actually a false dilemma. They’re real, but they’re non-human Earthlings living here in an environment we haven’t yet discovered or stumbled upon is the option few talk about, fits the full body of evidence better than any other explanation, and would prove most everyone wrong in different ways. So I bet that is what is going on.

Edit: it’s always funny that I get downvoted for just writing a theory out that is a pretty good one, as though you’re supposed to downvote people for this kind of post. People get really upset by this subject.
We do know the motivations to some degree because they're constrained by physical reality, evolution, and game theory.

Von Nuemann probes are possible in this physical reality for a relatively cheap cost and small time frame.

It makes sense to put probes that can watch for threats anywhere you think that threats can be. Species that do this have a greater chance of survival than species that don't.
I'd you shorten your life expectancy by 20 min but get 2 hours back today it seems like a fair trade.

No, I didn't write Fire in the Valley, but did write some other books. I appreciate that you felt Hackers was a cool read. But whether you believe me or not, the default for real journalists is NOT embellishing, but doing reporting to get to the nearest thing to truth. Not all writers do that (some "nonfiction" authors are frank about making up dialogue, and even moving the timeline) but to me and the vast majority of my peers, nonfiction means just that.

You’re probably being downvoted here because you’re ascribing to remote work what is more sensibly ascribed to interest rate hikes.

As far as I know, most evidence points to there being no difference in productivity between remote and in-office workers.

LoMA: Lossless Compressed Memory Attention
Improved information processing/transmission reduces OODA loop and IMO will encourage MORE conflict and escalation once it starts. In the past, ligh speed communication made jaw jaw faster than war war. But diplomacy is still bilateral/multilateral - could take hours to get counterpart the on line. Meanwhile verifying attacks and planning/executing a counter strike package is unilateral, and with improved technology/sensors/info sharing can _eventually_ take less time.
The model architecture itself is really not too complex, especially with torch. The whole process is pretty straightforward. Nice feasible project.
Supposedly the detector vans were a myth. A few appear to have been built, but they were essentially useless after 1950 as the interference from car ignitions started to become more of an issue. But the public didn't know that and the idea of it worked wonders for compliance. The BBC ran campaigns that implied huge fleets of them, but maybe there were only a few in reality.

At some point the BBC were forced under FOIA to admit they'd never prosecuted anyone using evidence from detector vans.
