IANAL, but it's astounding they took that as their defense, rather than pointing to a line (I hope?) in their ToS that says "This agreement is the complete terms of service, and cannot be amended or changed by any agent or representative of the company except by ... (some very specific process the bot can't follow)". I've seen this mentioned in several ToSs, I expect it to be standard boilerplate at this point ...
No, if you conspire with your friend to get them to tell you an incorrect policy, then you have no reasonable expectation that what they tell you is the real policy. If you are promised a billion dollars even without a pre-existing relationship with the agent, you have no reasonable expectation that what they are promising is the real policy because it's an unbelievably large amount.

If you are promised something reasonable by an agent of the company who you are not conspiring with, then the company is bound to follow through on the promise because you do have a reasonable expectation that what they are telling you is the real policy.
Are these being sold as completed units yet? And if so, where?
Thank you for the information.

I agree with you about VC and you are obviously more experienced as well. At that time, I just thought, try VC. Later I could understand the track they wanted me to take, and I also had other options such as bootstrapping.

But if it has to be some exponential growth and I am forced to change the attitude of exploration, that is not my original intention. I'd rather do some other business and keep open source software going.
This argument seems overly dramatic and distorted. Yes, in an outrageous situation like a billion-dollar mishap, most people would know something isn't right. But for a policy that appears legitimate, especially when it's replacing a human customer service rep, it's not that obvious. In these cases, Air Canada should definitely be held accountable.

There is a lot of money riding on NATOs continued existence and I think if Trump decides to pull the USA out of NATO he will be in for a rude surprise. Playing with the climate accords was dumb enough and didn't have any immediate impact, if the USA visibly isolates itself from NATO after other countries supporting the USA in various efforts over the last couple of decades then the world as you know it will grind to a very rapid halt and the United States will be the big loser from that unless Trump is reigned in. I would expect him to receive a couple of very pointed reminders of what the consequences of such a move would be. Fortunately even an unhinged TV personality can not single-handedly destroy a country and what it has stood for for the last 70+ years.
If they're coasting then you have a 1-on-1 conversation and if needed fire them. A manager who needs some type of public shamming ritual to do that isn't a good manager. There's a manager fallacy of focusing on minimizing the bad versus maximizing the good. In my experience, it's better to focus on making your best employees more effective versus trying to make your worst employees slightly less ineffective.

my impression is that rust already has lots of 3p libs, but they may be in experimental or not actively supported state (someone created something for fun and abandoned). So the question is about well established libraries.
Personally I spend a ton on gaming hardware so I can (ab)use mods that are horribly unoptimized, buggy, and require about as much effort to install and use as would be required to become competent in another programming language.

I honestly hate meetings with a vague agenda and then when you get there, you have ~5 minutes to make up a plan to conquer Europe during German occupation, or else (in a threatening tone). I am starting to just abort and leave that kind of meetings.

Please tell me what you need, and then I can see if this is a simple e-mail / knowledge base issue I can link you to. Or I see this is a bigger thing, but then I can prepare options, ideas and workarounds how to approach your problem. And then we can send it around to all required people and then we can have an interesting discussion about our points in a meeting after everyone has had a bit of time to think and brainstorm.
I've never worked directly with an AS/400. I do remember doing a school internship when I was 15 or so with our town's local IT shop and we went to a customer once and replaced the backup tapes. Still stuck in my head as something that was impressive at the time.
My US high school math was the equivalent of Calculus 2 in college. I don't understand your point.
I wonder how many different ways people have tried cut and cover over the years. I'm talking here of the horizontal part of the project, not the vertical. It seems like you usually have one, or maybe two, moving work sites, and they go block by block removing the street, and replacing it behind them at some point. Any business near the sites is choked off from foot traffic for a while, even if the site isn't in front of their door yet.

Is it more or less disruptive if you do a checkerboard pattern instead? Instead of n months of construction around your favorite coffee shop, would it be better to have n/2 months of construction now, and n/2 months of construction in July? Maybe that depends on where you are on the street. If, for instance, you start at both ends, then the businesses in the middle of the cut have construction sites boxing them in for almost twice as long as anyone else does. Or maybe that just means more people of means mad at elected officials.

Fascinating, so would this mean an LLM is an approximator of a certain proportion of a 'ruliad'? Apologies for using GPT here, but it's a bit beyond my math to make a statement like that without reaching for my sidekick..."in a broad sense, one could conceptualize a Large Language Model (LLM) as an approximator of a specific, limited subsection of the ruliad" so I guess so, ish?
Vilifying a horde of barbarians that film themselves castrating prisoners or raping toddlers is indeed something I intend to do and dehumanize. The fact that you think what russians are doing and their past history and depravations towards neighboring countries is in any way comparable to NATO and the US is completely off the bonkers.

After bringing up points like Euromaidan being a coup, Saddam and the petrodollar, you are now bringing in shit like Trump, "elites in the west", and finally the Azov battalion and the Ukrainians doing violence on ethnic Russians, you are bringing out the points of "we must invade because the Ukrainians are bombarding Donetsk children and they are nazis" of russian propaganda. An attentive reader would have noticed that you said "ethnic russians", de facto stating that there is a chunk of Ukraine that is actually russia and must be saved.

I'll let you in on something: the fact that I feel so strongly about these fucking savages that invaded Ukraine and useful idiots gushing down russian propaganda is because I am a Westerner that lives in Ukraine and I've been living here since before the war. Part of the acquired family I have from my partner is from Donetsk and the fact that you bring up Azov and this ethnic russian thing is the cherry on top, the perfect piece of bullshit that me, actually living in Ukraine, is perfectly equipped to call you on about.

>For every atrocity you mention I can find comparisons from the West

No, you cannot. Russia, from its imperial times, has brought upon the world the worst depraved and terrible crimes, nazi concentration camps are a walk in the park compared to the joys of the russian empire and later the soviet union. And still, we're talking about 2024, these things are being done right now.

>I'm a pacifist and want peace and cooperation, not constant conflict.

You aren't, you are a useful idiot who paves the way for the demoralization of your nation and its later destruction

What disgusts me the most is that you seem to be unable to cede on the point that what russia did is wrong. You even mention that brutalities are okay because apparently, somebody else did them in the past. Russia invading is okay because trump/saddam/elites in the west/euromaidan/crimean fleet/azov battalion/whatever other shit you gobbled up on the internet. But hey, you are a pacifist.

hello,

in the 1980ties my system "of choice" was an atari st and my schools computer was a VAX 11/730 running VMS 4.x ... later 2 of them in a DECnet - had some fun with them :))

but a friend of mine was an admin for an IBM AS400 and out of curiosity i visited him from time to time and "looked him over his shoulder" as we say in german during updates and similar tasks ...

was a nice and very stable system back then ...

it had a small hdd - can't remeber its size - and the updates came on floppies with 8 inches if i remember it correctly ... 4 or 5 of them at a time - around 120 k each ... laughable by today's standards, but afaik pretty common for a small to medium sized business back then - a travel agency.

cheers

Slightly off topic but I found this interesting: I saw something the other day that freebsd plans to drop support for most 32-bit architectures in the next major version. Of which 32 bit arm is currently the most relevant but also shrinking in relevance. But they will keep armv7 for now. They'll still be able to run 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit kernel for a while.

100%. I grew up wanting to be a graybeard hacker, then watched as everyone decided that coding should be more social than technical. This feeling of falling out of alignment with values really did a number on me.

I can finally say I’ve started to transmute that into energy towards being a solopreneur. It feels like the equivalent of “f this industry I’m taking my ball and going home” but I don’t see any other way that lets me feel agency at this time.

Regarding AI: it is a tangible manifestation of the phantoms that keep us running hard on the economic treadmill. Very familiar feeling, really.
The legal concept is called "Apparent authority". The test is whether "a reasonable third party would understand that an agent had authority to act".

("Chatbot says you can submit a form within 90 days to get a retroactive bereavement discount" sounds perfectly reasonable, so the doctrine applies.)

This is exactly it. In most cases what I've seen is that "this meeting could have been an email" can be almost always be responded to with: "This meeting WAS an email. You didn't respond. Now it's a meeting."
> Yes. And you can't fix those as an IC, so you just have to work around them.

Sure you can and no you don't have to, you can say so publically, which may give others the courage to do the same, at which point 'management' may see one of two things: there's a critical mass of people that disagree with how we are doing things and move to correct course, or the rabble-rousers are fired. I have personally taken the personal risk to raise issues like that, and have suffered the wrath of thin-skinned managers which placed me into the latter camp, so I'm not suggesting things to just suggest them.

The more I experience insanity like this the more I see that collective action in this manner is the only way developers and other non-managerial folk hope to regain some control and some semblance of normality.

> Fewer distractions

You sure? I sure can definitely zone out and I may do out of spite if we're convened for a meeting that could have been an email chain.

> More emotional investment in the discussion

Because it's now become a performance.

> More "skin in the game"

Again, because it's become a performance for the sake of performance, especially if 'senior leadership' are now involved.
He's not far off since you do cope with a depressant drug, just a different one with a different risk profile. And I don't know about you, but it tanks my productivity worse than alcohol all the way through the next day depending on the form. So maybe he's making a comment about that.
> But whatever critical role you feel they're playing, there's no reason why a senator and their staff can't do the same.

Each senator is going to replicate the work of every interest group in the nation? It's just not possible.

> The lobbying groups we're talking about here are NOT talking to citizens. They aren't made up of citizens. They aren't democratic in any way. Most citizens aren't even aware that they exist.

Which groups do you mean? LGBTQ groups, the ones I'm aware of (I have limited knowledge), are certainly made of citizens and talk to them.

> do you think they're all going to be in support of the bill that this LGBTQ group has now signed off on?

All of them? Nothing can be approved of by everyone. You need another standard.

> This group has nothing to do with them other than exploiting their cause to shake down politicians.

That's just an assumption. You have shown us nothing to support it. Show us some evidence.

I don't love Rust because of "fast code", I love it because it leaves me less stressed and less frustrated, IOW, happier.

There's so much emphasis on the memory safety of Rust that it overshadows everything else that is awesome about it. Rust (largely) gives me the power of Haskell strong types, but with fantastic tooling and a much much richer library (if you include crates.io).

I find the difficulty of Rust overstated; much of the borrowing challenges can be avoided by cloning/copying wherever required and limiting borrowing to where that approach becomes an actual performance problem. As Python's success proves, developer productivity trumps runtime efficiency.
> Each magnetic medium exhibits its own kind of magnetism.

I agree that it is sometimes described this way, although as one commenter upthread said, such use of language is more common when physicists are talking among themselves, not when they are talking to the public.

The comments in this discussion indicate that I am by no means the only one who was confused by the original wording. So I think the change was helpful.
Diamond's premise is that Europe's geographical layout gave it superior advantages to the rest of the planet.

The paper found that Europe's layout is in fact not significantly better or even different from many other places on earth where early humans developed. They even found that in many cases civilization flourished in direct opposition to those qualities, like in southeast asia where mountainous terrain was compensated with rice terraces.

They also confirmed that the things Diamond said about having interconnected similar areas etc being important to cultural spread were generally right, just that they aren't actually correlated very closely with europe/asia in particular. Diamond was right about them (they're very agreeable statements, and not unique to him) but they don't support his thesis.
None of these are primarily medical outcomes. Life expectancy, for example, is skewed by an anomalously high rate of fatal injuries when people are young, which has nothing to do with healthcare quality. For better or worse, trauma medicine in the US is arguably the best in the world because serious injuries are so prevalent.

There is also the practical matter that the US is a continent-sized country and regional effects matter. Some US States have life expectancy on par with the best European countries despite the anomalously high fatal injury rates among young people.

I have my doubts that the socialism that is popular with genz/millenials has much to do with the actual economic system. The same poll showed free enterprise still wildly popular with the same group after all.

Rather I think it more likely that the concerted effort to brand welfare and regulated capitalism as socialism for decades has finally succeeded.
Hey, Euclid's ideas from 2000+ years ago are still going strong.

I doubt much of what we know today will turn out to be wrong. Maybe our abstractions will turn out to have been naive or suboptimal, but at least they're demonstrably predictive. They're not just quackery or mysticism.
I think there's another, more frightening takeaway from this - people are losing trust in everything. While you can argue on a case by case basis that it's all for good reason, it pretty much devolves into nihilism. More and more people are unwilling to believe anything that, for example, the "media" says - regardless of how tame and reasonable the claim might be.

I like to buy beef in bulk and keep hearing about people who do that at Costco. So I surfed their online offerings just yesterday ... and found out that their beef prices are super-premium even in bulk, compared to my local supermarkets. Like $15.71 for what looks like the same "angus premimum ground beef" that Safeway sells for around $7. Wtf. Maybe they only put their really expensive stuff online, and there are actual bargains at the store?

Everything in the US is much more expensive than in most places in the world. We have the dominant global reserve currency and also minimum standards of living that are much more expensive than elsewhere. Additionally, the supply of doctors is limited by a professional body, and there's a government-mandated insurance racket that is basically on the hook to cover a lot of stuff. So the doctors charge the market rate for their services, knowing they will probably get paid all or none. If you took out the guaranteed payors, prices would naturally go down because nobody could pay.

We could try to fix prices like the socialist countries do. But this does not lead to good outcomes in any conceivable way. Price fixing creates scarcity. I think we already try to increase supply of healthcare workers by importing them. But I don't know enough about it to know if a meaningful number of them are imported.

If a young person asks me for career advice, I'm saying that they should try for medicine. Not everyone can handle it I'm sure, but demographic projections suggest it has a positive outlook.
