US gets really unhappy and makes Taiwan ban exports of TSMC chips and products containing TSMC chips to EU. Oops.

EU would've to onshore the whole supply chain first. Probably a 100B-1T€, 10-30y endavour. Good luck with that.
Blue collar workers might think that the WFH or flex time are good benefits, which they don't have, and that their own pay should be adjusted accordingly.
No thank you. It was hard enough growing up in a Catholic household with a firewall. My career in remote tech is despite the obstacles placed in my way, not because of them.

I would never support similarly gimping children in an increasingly online world. Banning kids from congregating on the internet is a reprehensible idea.

Wow, what a fact.
Skimming the story...it sounds like the AG's "single largest market" claim is pure fluff. Sure, he's got plenty of evidence that Meta's crawling with pedophiles (and doesn't much care). But there's no mention of data on (pedophile activity on) other platforms.

(The NCMEC is mentioned, and they probably have a decent feel for whether the headline's claim is true...but they might be reluctant to talk on this subject.)

They cannot, ASML tech is licensed from a US government (DOE) owned company - EUV LLC under full congressional oversight. The EUV light source is made in the US because they had to buy a US company for that too.

There are two modes in Google Maps - one shows the map in a fixed rotation (north on top by default, but you can rotate the map with two fingers), the other mode automatically rotates the map based on what direction you're facing. *Facing*, not moving, so you don't actually have to walk for it to determine the direction.

You can switch between the modes by clicking a compass icon
Curious outlook. I, for one, avoid lying. The closest I get is omission. I'm not interested in remembering false realities depending on the person I'm talking with. The last lie I recall was a number of years ago where I said to a store clerk that I had recently been somewhere when in fact it was not very recent. Immediately after I felt bad. I value honesty.

There are some pdf readers that protect you against those things.

I find it interesting when employees ask for this without reducing pay. They then think it’s a 20% reduction as it’s 20% less work. But then you factor the overhead including normal overhead like benefits, HR, office space and additional overhead like management (a manager can only many so many people so now we need two managers for a group) and your at around a 40% reduction in pay to support one less day of output.
At the very least Sweden has that in place: you can become income tax exempt for the first 5? years as an expert or similar specialist.
> Interviews should be consistent with what day to day work actually looks like

I'm not hiring at the level of day to day work, I'm hiring at the level of when things go complex or bad.

To give an example, I'm not going to test a coders ability to write some CRUD application. I'm testing the ability when a junior developers comes with a crazy problem, that they can find the cause and solve it.

If I only test day to day work, you get these kind of developers that keep changing faulty code until it magically works. I don't want those in my team. I want developers that can figure out what is going wrong, understand it, and provide a solution. Do such things happen day to day? No.

And a person that can reason his way out of things instead of trying random stuff, sure as hell can do the same day to day tasks just as well or even better.
Those forefathers had no idea we'd be using a global digital medium.

In the 18th century your word was everything, and your identity was tied to your word. When you came into town, or a tavern, or wherever, you had to identify yourself. And if you lied about who you were your word was tarnished forever.

Now we're doing the same thing in a digital world. It's time to adapt to that.
It might be useful to say what it is. Especially when you're on a mobile when you're presented with 2 exactly the same breakdowns and what looks like the bottom of the page.

I do this as well, more or less inspired by a lot of Dwarf Fortress back in the day. I use Wonderdraft to make the map, then spend the rest of my time building a history that took place long before the chronological point in whatever short story I'm writing for it (this is a hobby, I don't publish, but maybe one day when there is more time to develop something an audience would want to read). To me, understanding why there is a town in a particular location, or why a once great city now only holds ghosts of its past is just as important to the story as having a good plot.

Does this come in the context of this Senate hearing [0] ?

According to Guardian (UK)

""" tech executives faced four hours of intensive questioning from
Congress members """

Four hours doesn't seem like much. My students can sleep through a 4
hour lecture!

""" Parents of children who died by suicide after experiencing online
harms packed the Senate for the hearing on Wednesday. Senator
Lindsey Graham said the event drew "the largest [audience] I've seen
in this room". """

If so, this headline is a distraction from the issues at
hand. Paedophilia is not what is primarily being discussed here. It's
more generally that children are harmed by social media. And as far as
I am concerned that is a solid fact.

""" In his first remarks, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg cast doubt on the
relationship between social media use and a decline in mental
health. "The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal
link between using social media and young people having worse mental
health," he said. """

Zuck is an outright liar. There are now mountains of exceptionally
good research showing a solid causal link between social media use
and negative mental health impacts on young people (no, I will not
google that for you, please do your own homework).

""" Twitter, became the first tech firm to publicly endorse the Stop
CSAM Act """

Of course, because CSAM, while abhorrent, is the perfect distraction
from the problem that your entire platform is socially corrosive.

Basic personality traits (like Big 4) stay roughly the same. What (hopefully)happens is personality development and maturation.
I’m not usually a fan of broad brush solutions, and I can imagine there are plenty of special interest arguments against, but I sense the net benefit of blanket banning under-18s from social media may be greater than any harm caused.
> is there any stigma with using ChatGPT in the workplace?

I work in a big tech company. ChatGPT (and equivalent systems) is becoming pervasive in developers tooling. There's no stigma, it's used is actually encouraged.

I don't think it's a life changer or that it'll save engineers the time to learn their craft.
But you could write letters (and later telegrams) anonymously around the world back then.

> isn't Meta the 'single largest market for <almost anything>'

No, it isn't. Far from it.

Edit: Unless those angled brackets have a meaning that I am not aware of.
The Attorney General hasn't caught up to what the kids are really using these days.
A bit surprised over this with mighty suspicious Telegram bot spam that I've come across, and the recent trends in Telegram based revenge porn that often finds its way to underage subjects. I haven't dug deep but Telegram looks like the worst cesspool that I know of that is operating "in the open" (rather than Darknet).

But maybe he is talking of contacts and communication that might lead to distribution by other channels? The initial contacts happen on the popular (e.g. Meta) platforms via DM's, and then it's distributed in these stashes on Telegram and whatnot for cash as they groom people?

Might be two different sides of this coin so to speak
The concept, yes; the word? I've seen the phrase "elite athletes", but never "elite actors" or "elite musicians".

For a different example of that split, there are a lot of proud religious fundamentalists in the USA, it was only the decade following 9/11 that "fundamentalist" seemed to be a dirty word (from my perspective, which at that point was going through university and my first job, both in the UK).
And it would be fraud. And it was a huge problem when people did that.

If you got caught you were done.

In a digital world we can combat such fraud in vastly different ways.
One would have to assume all of these things are points of negotiation to get Meta to disable E2E on FB messenger and WhatsApp, along with the public allegations made for years prior that providing encrypted channels directly supported the cause of pedophiles.

(It is also interesting to me that in ~2010, such discussions used to use terrorism, and now it’s CSAM/pedophilia.)
Sounds like good, old-fashioned British capitalism to me - lying is made extremely lucrative for big companies, while regulation & enforcement are only for the little people.

Depends on your definition of "tech", see e.g. Airbus.
One of the best ways to identify ideal-fit customers and deliver them more personalized messages is by using technology filters to build better audiences. Start with technology filters from BuiltWith, combine with your existing contacts as well as net new ones, and add the basic ICP filters on top.

And that allows you to reach more of the right prospects with a better message that will increase your conversion.
This just means it's technically sound gizmo. It's central purpose is still speculation though, which is rooted in the greater fool theory.

It's getting filled up with trash and this will be exponential. Data quality on the internet will rapidly decline and only platforms that can provide authenticity will be able to provide value imo.

> But there's no mention of data on (pedophile activity on) other platforms.

Elon Musk has been very clear on that this kind of activity will get you permanently banned.

They are also actively following known pedo hashtags across X/Twitter to ensure this kind of content gets wiped, without waiting for individual users to report it first.

The difference between Facebook and X seems pretty stark.
Here it is: after 6 months of extensive searching for problems which can be solved with discovered solution, hype will fall, and video fake technology will get momentum.
What makes google's tech demo different?
> but those productivity gains have mostly been eaten up by excessive corporate profit-taking.

I'd say there were mostly eaten by increased standards of living. Compare median global standard of living in Keyens times (say 100 years ago) and today. The difference is astounding, and we even work less for it than we did - just not "15 hours workweek" less.
I think blanking is actually OK. From there you could probably explain what you know about it, how it was set in your project, or any peripheral story that comes to mind at that time.

Yes we can and protect kids from the real world in many ways, but I believe it should be parents and families handling that, not the state.

The latest 7B model demonstrated impressive performance on benchmarks.

However, I have a question regarding its specific deployment method:
How can I merge the parts of the Safetensors format?
Specifically, I'm referring to files named 'model-00001-of-00002.safetensors' and 'model-00002-of-00002.safetensors'.

My motivation is straightforward: I aim to combine the Safetensor 'shards' and then utilize the 'convert.py' script from the llama.cpp project to transform a single .safetensors file into the GGUF format.
This conversion facilitates running the models on WasmEdge.

I appreciate any guidance on this matter. Thank you.
It's not because it's "strategic" it's because the USA owns the actual technology in use. They have to ask the USA Congress because they don't own it simple as that.

I think the debate is a little more nuanced than this. Any action at scale in this area will deliver both benefits and downsides. What we need to do is look at what action will deliver the greatest net benefit to the most young people. As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m not a fan of broad brush action in general, but if it delivers that net benefit I’d be supportive.

This is not to invalidate your own experience - it sounds awful - but we can’t make policy decisions at this scale based only on individual experiences.

Personally I dread the impact that social media might have on our daughters as they move on to secondary school.
Blue collar people were always worse off than white collar. Historically, they didn't rebel, but just tried to get their kids the best education they could, so that the next generation could have an easier life as a part of the white collar class.

> Parents should work on keeping their kids away from social media, what’s the point of a kid having a Facebook or Instagram anyway?

Parents are users too and in some cases they're addicted to social media as well. So it may be a quite hard task to make sure kids are having curated presence on the Internet. It may be even impossible because there's also a social pressure to be among peers and participate in whatever activities they do - nowadays mostly online obviously. Nobody wants to be an outsider and no young wants to be policed by an adult - pretty sure that's a prevalent theme across generations.

If anything, a social change should come from schools I believe but it may be still a hard task to accomplish. A second or third generation of digital natives is growing up and that's also important thing to consider.

No idea which are the most popular networks or activities among the youngest generation but I'd put my bet on tiktok, roblox and discord.

Aside from video games, another place you commonly see pie menues is in 3D CAD software (Blender, Inventor, I think SolidWorks has one?). I guess it's because these programs are inherently more mouse-reliant than other software.
The answer is simple: you are definitely not a simulation written in angular. Your body is just a flesh and blood, and it is managed by biological device which control everything on the level of a frog. Upper level function are just kind of promotion, which does not control you, unless you can but foot at supermarket.
You're not shooting the messenger. I signed off on this strategy. In our case, quite a number of customers lock down their IAM policies with IP address based permissions. They have rules like "This account can be used only from our datacenter", or "These EIPs are the only legitimate source for changes" that help them defend against credential theft. There are other defenses, but for some ... this simple defense makes sense. My understanding is that GitHub have a similar challenge, and you can see in their note at: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/organizat...

If we turned IPv6 on like a light switch and suddenly broke all of those customers whose traffic would flip to IPv6 ... that'd be pretty bad. That's not dumb. So instead we have dedicated endpoints for IPv6 and are working with customers to get their policies updated and tested.

For IAM creds on an EC2 instance it's more common to use EC2 Instance Roles. Those are retrieved locally from the IMDS, which is available over IPv6. We have a number of customers, including some large ones, running IPv6-only on their EC2 setups.
It will do that if it doesn't already know what direction you're travelling, which is usually because you've just activated navigation and you aren't moving yet.

I suspect the GP was being facetious, but the point that meta is massive is a good one imo. With billions of users your platform can become 'the largest market for x' for many niche use cases without it really saying much about the platform itself.
I find it's great for very generic work, like boilerplate or where you have forgotten how to implement a specific single, well defined algorithm. However, relying on its output is very risky if you aren't verifying everything it puts out. A good test to show this is to ask it to write a short essay on something you know very well, then behold all the incorrect information it enthusiastically tries to feed you.

Also:

* It has a horrible habit of inventing properties on objects or methods in libraries.

* It will very happily straight up lie to you about things it does

* Often when you ask it to make a specific change, it will give you back exactly the same as last time.

* For the love of God, don't put any company-owned code into it.

* Maybe I'm just bad at prompting...
At what cost? An environment with slave labor would be great if you wanted to have things produced for cheap. Should we allow slave labor to stay competitive?

This is a pretty extreme example, but that's what it comes down to. Thanks to the free market, there's always going to be someone willing to do it for cheaper while sacrificing product quality, employee welfare, or environmental impact.
