That’s when you step away. Come back later and take that last statement and spin it to a question instead. Can security have viable costs and incentives- what is a new way to improve it? Can’t see opportunity any more then take a break. I hate the nation state lies they muddy the real issues. That is not saying there are not threats, yet the hype and lazy attribution isn’t improving anything.
Has anyone tried this? I’ve seen the same people hyping this up all over /r/ml with multiple posts a week, marketing material, etc. Is this a legit new technique or just cleverly marketed paper?
There are interesting discussions that could happen on the topic.

I think P's frustration is that saying "Wow, $Companys head count is high" on every thread is not an interesting, insightful, or discussion driving comment.

Why is the headcount high (outside the obvious)? How could it be prevented in the future? What are the ramifications of this in the future? Even as you suggest, why not respond to "What the heck are all these people doing?"

Not "Wow, headcount high!"
Frame your argument a little differently - you're saying you can't be proud / ashamed of anything your parents have done (that you didn't contribute to).

For those who didn't know the term (like me):

Skeuomorphism is a term most often used in graphical user interface design to describe interface objects that mimic their real-world counterparts in how they appear and/or how the user can interact with them.

https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/skeuomo...
> What's the value in a closed-form expression that doesn't describe any real-world phenomenon?

it keeps smart, driven, and potentially disruptive people busy chasing around closed forms while "real" power politics are kept firmly and rigorously under the control of incumbent powers.

this may be a perspective too cynical, nonetheless I offer it as an answer to your question; still working on making this funny somehow as it hits close to why I couldn't make it through the academic-industrialized pipeline of institutional corporations (big universities) 'manufacturing' and 'selling' graduated professionals in the labor 'marketplace'
For HTML, the main alternative to a button is a link, which does have some affordances (often underlined, changes color on hover.)

We are sometimes told not to use a button when a link will do [1]. Supposedly, links are better for accessibility or for user expectations. You can style links to look like buttons, but I have trouble making them exactly the same if they’re next to each other (for example, the same height) and it seems like doing it the hard way.

So how seriously should I take that advice?

> Only 2.2.26 kernel tho so that's very dated

The whole thing is dated; that looks like more of a retrocomputing project (mostly) than an updated version. I mean, busybox 1.00 is probably fine for what it is, but it's not exactly new. (Note that this is a clarification but not a criticism; having played with things like "how old of a distro can I shove in docker and run on a current kernel", I certainly support retrocomputing, I just think we should acknowledge that that's what we're doing)

For some people (myself included) the infinite configurability is the selling point, and configuration is the 'cost of doing business'. I'm an Emacs person but I'm sure it's the same for (Neo)Vim people too. You're gradually crafting your editor using your editor, and that feels good.

Along the way there are innumberable little choices that you make that shape it into something completely your own. Plus you know it's never going away or getting enshittified because it's open source and has been for decades.

Now, does it actually make you more productive? Or is any productivity you gain swallowed up by tinkering with configuration? That's an open question, and a valid one. People who enjoy an out-of-the-box IDE experience are fine by me - different strokes and all. I just enjoy working in an environment that is always gradually evolving according to my needs, even if it means putting in the work.
Qualcomm Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: GoStreams (or Lightning)

It's an almost real-time data streaming service for the polygon.io data provider.

It's a project that I started a couple of years ago during the pandemic. I've developed several data-sinks for this service (KDB, QuestDB, Postgres), but it's become more of a Theseus' Ship, development is never ending!

The aim is to build a backtester that will attach to this data service.

https://github.com/tranquilo12/goStreams

The README is outdated, but the gist of the project is that it's trying to be a service that can download all the historical data (for the requested tickers), and will stream the live data to a data-sink, without any issues, and with a good terminal ui.

I'm also thinking of integrating the Charm's libraries with this too, love a good TUI. (https://charm.sh/)

Anyone up for this? You can find my email in my profile.

I'm interested in building this out as a project, it will not be made into a company etc. The repo will be public.

Yeah, the apple ghost buttons are a dialog with the user. They say "you have seen this situation 1000s of times, and are tired and bored". They slip into the background as your finger autopilots to the same spot it always goes. When the action becomes rote, the button becomes tacky.

On, say, a kitchen stove, I find the same minimal design frustrating, because I don't use it enough to be familiar, and I want 100% certainty.

Digital Discrimination is multi-faceted, and it applies to all kinds
of groups who for reasons of mobility, neuro-diversity, ethics and
more, are excluded or marginalised.

Since Los Angeles has never codified exactly what digital
discrimination means, the legislation asked city officials to
strongly consider using the Federal Communication Commission's
definition of the term.

Plenty of room there to include people who choose to protect their
security and morals but are discriminated against for those choices.
Fair enough – however, links are still not buttons. Links should include an href and add a new entry to your browser history. Buttons should cause something to happen on the current page without changing your browser history.

There is value in differentiating between them.
Might have to do with demand in those neighborhoods. An financially-constrained person living in a major city in 2024 will have two main choices for an Internet-connected device: laptop or smartphone. These days, the smartphone is the obvious choice. Paying for cell service lets you use the phone around town and at home, whereas paying for home internet is quite restricted.

An ISP usually has a neighborhood hub where local lines connect and feed into the broader infrastructure. I'm betting that ISPs have a pricing model using a "neighborhood utilization ratio" factor, calculated as houses-served-in-neighborhood over total-number-of-houses-in-neighborhood. To cover known network infrastructure expenses (equipment replacement, technician labor costs, etc.), the pricing needs to work out, but low service demand in a given service area for the same infrastructure requires those fixed costs be borne by the few people using the service.

Many infrastructure services typically are more expensive in a rural area, presumably due to this effect but spread over a larger geographic area because population density is lower.
Good luck enforcing this. California's laundry list of poorly executed "good intent" acts continues.
Yeah agreed. Given the toolchain source is available I wonder how low we can go with a modern kernel and the newest busybox

Learned what? When it's zero interest rates, funding from desperate investors would dwarf any possible profits you could make, and the bigger headcount makes raising money easier.

It's the policymakers and society in general that should learn. A decade of low interest rates together with outsourcing of everything that can be outsourced created hordes of useless people that add little value and feel entitled to their salary. As you get more and more of those, the value of money decreases, and inflation starts piling up (COVID accelerated it nicely, but things like housing, educational and medical were off the charts for a long while).

The hangover from those rates will last longer than most expect.

Personally I take public transit to the airport if it is all possible but I know few Americans who do it. Despite the silly airport trains I think the BART at SFO and the JFK connection to the NYC Subway are great. The train to Reagan airport in DC is is nice as the train to Schiphol airport. Also there is a premium shuttle bus from LAX to Downtown LA which gets you to Hollywood and many other places on the Metro, you can certainly find a good hotel near a transit stop and limit how much you need to lug luggage.

People are welcome to do whatever they like. I'm expressing an opinion, my value judgement, that the math done for its own sake is just not as beautiful to me as math that has applications.

ChatGPT has replaced maybe 1/2 of my Google searches and the cognitive relief from not having to wade through crap websites and ads is immense. The other 1/2 I'm slowly transitioning to Kagi because search results are more reliable. I'm afraid Google's best days may be behind it.
I hear this in every layoff thread.

The reality is that while there obviously was overhiring, (the generic) you do not have a true understanding of the totality of Okta's (or any of the other companies') businesses. You know what is public/user facing. That is it. Companies scale/sprawl because running a large publicly traded company is actually very complex.

Hell, run a startup and you'll understand the complexity. It's not just ship code, get paid. Shipping is often the simplest/most straight forward part.
Both are methods to reduce the overall size of your embeddings, but from what I understand, quantization is generally better than dimensionality reduction, especially if training is quantization-aware.

Mindmonopol | Senior Frontend Engineer (Angular) | Remote (EU) | Full-time or part-time | English (German helpful but not required)

Mindmonopol is building a product that will enable consultants to perform data analytics tasks similar to a no-code fashion, enabling reusability of components. Our aim is to focus on tasks such as data migrations, year-end closing and other things that usually take a lot of formal work to verify and automate the formality by reusing proven methods.

Our frontend is in dire need of a senior engineer. We are specifically looking for someone with enough experience and know-how to be able to architect a system. Up to now, we had no frontend specialist (except a freelancer working 1 day a week) and it turned into a mess. We want to build the frontend on a solid foundation and are looking for someone that is willing to take ownership and incentive, who isn't shy to raise concerns. Ideally you would be willing to grow into a leadership position over time, but it isn't strictly required, right now our focus is on looking for someone with a strong technical background.

The frontend is built on Angular/AWS.

Adding latching to USB-C would largely defeat the purpose of using a USB-C connector, because you'd be throwing away most of the compatibility that the USB-C connector could win. At that point, the USB-C connector would be there merely to check a box on the spec sheet, rather than because it's the right connector for this purpose.

Every year I see tons of CS students captivated by the beauty of algorithms in theoretical CS. I lose track of all the bright eyed undergraduates saying they love thinking about algorithms and would ideally like to spend their summer doing research on these sorts of problems. More often than not, I end up telling them they should focus their efforts on the systems side of things and chat with an OS or DB professor rather than a prof in TCS, but very few of them actually take this advice.
You missed the point entirely.

Language like "require raw SQL today might be more elegantly handled with an ORM's language" suggests that you do not understand the elegance of SQL or the relational data model.

However, you are correct. I used ORMs less and less often as I became a better SWE. They can save time on toy projects, but for those, I usually use a NoSQL or KVS directly.

Somewhere I ran across the idea of setting a prehistoric fantasy novel in Doggerland, which is a big swathe of Europe that got submerged.

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

Neanderthals, Sapiens, and other close relatives like Denisovans could serve as analogues of fantasy races, like elves, dwarves, and hobbits. Non Neanderthals and Sapiens would have to be on the rare side to explain how they haven't been discovered today, but the fact that the entire region was submerged helps with that.

Perhaps certain factors could have made the region extremely prosperous by standards of the time and a nexus of prehistoric trade, giving rise to a rich culture attaining legendary status. However, none of its architecture used stone, and all of its knowledge was carried through oral tradition.
