One essential - existential - skill that children learn is to please ADULTS (Authoritarian Domineering Unseeing Ludicrous Tedious Superhypocritals). Their actual survival (food, shelter, safety), their welfare, their happiness depends extremely on Adults. If you were in their shoes in regard to some authority - especially an authority that behaves as badly as Adults - you would learn too.

They learn how to not upset Adults (and how to effectively upset them too), how to be pleasing, how to stay out of trouble, how to utterly lie and not get caught. Teens are advanced children in this respect.

Now you might think you are too smart to be fooled, and that of course is your downfall (didn't you read in school about hubris and arrogance?). The kids are humans, it is very high stakes for them and they study and hone every technique. For them it is their most productive skill. You are massivly outgunned. Adult.

You might think you are good-willed and trustworthy, but you are inescapably an Adult. You have that unchecked power and have been corrupted by it. Even if you are truly a friend now you can switch on that power in a moment if something bothers you, at your whim, by your mood. It's like petting an unrestrained lion; no matter how calm and playful it seems, licking you, nuzzling you, purring ... you are paying very close attention and tailoring every move to its pleasure. What if something scares it?

I work to maintain great empathy for children's position (hard to do, because I am corrupted by unchecked power). When interacting, I keep my mouth shut - a whispered syllable dominates the conversation, even if to provoke resistance. I listen attentively: are they speaking with their own voice, for their own cause, of their own perspective? A good signal is if it's too pleasing, if it fits so beautifully and joyfully in my beliefs, relieving all tension - here is a child who understands! Lol. Other people, especially with the vastly different experience of a different generation and of childhood, will have very different ideas and perspectives, many hard to understand or uncomfortable. Just think what you sound like to them.

When kids do that pleasing thing, what response do you see? You see Adults compliment them - 'what fine children!' The Adults are suckers, and if you think back to your teenage years, you know it. Adults are so easy.

There's another issue here. I was once at a casual Adult dinner party and a couple had brought their only child, a 13 year old. The child, as far as I could tell, was the Adults' best friend and they said as much. I tried engaging the child away from their parents and give them some space to be themselves, to be valued as themselves. They said they wanted to be there, with Adults (lol), because 'who wants to hang out with 13 year olds?' So truly heartbreaking.
That’s a bold assumption given they don’t even take their current responsibilities seriously…
No, google is doing what it can within the extremely tight confines of what the DMCA allows.

The DMCA essentially prohibits companies from applying any judgement as to the validity of the complaint, so all google can do is try to identify fraudulent filers, but if a new entity makes a complaint it doesn't seem like there's a huge amount of signal available at that point to indicate whether that entity is legit.

The issue with the DMCA is it says something like "if you try to decide whether or not claims are valid, you also accept liability for infringement", which means there's near unbounded cost if you try to reject claims because the claims themselves are invalid, e.g. the DMCA "allows" a corporation to do that filtering but only in a way that no one would ever do.

Imagine you were running a forum, and you got a DMCA takedown notice for something someone posted. Let's say it's clearly obvious that the claim is invalid, and you reply with "hell no, that's clearly a BS claim". Later on someone posts something that is obviously copyright infringing. As I understood what people were complaining about (some 20 years ago sorry), because you rejected the earlier takedown you may now be liable for that infringing post. Hence, the only safe option available is to always start the two week takedown.

For many of these fraudulent claims that's the goal - they just want to censor the content. It doesn't matter if they ignore any future contact attempts, it doesn't matter if the person who got hit provides you evidence the claim is false, the DMCA basically requires that you keep the content down for two weeks to allow the original claimant to respond (which in these fraudulent cases they won't).

Google obviously does stop bring stuff back early now if it gets major publicity, but my guess is they have more lawyers than most companies can afford, and that they believe that if they were to go to court they could say they did their best to comply with the DMCA but the pressure (often incl. politicians) made them feel it was in the public interest or something to revert the takedown or whatever, and that that argument would hold up in court.

The problem is not Google here, the problem is a trivially abusable law that has no penalties for fraud.
Building nuclear in a desert feel a bit like building hydropower dams in a desert. It does not really make sense and whatever the capacity factor is, being in a desert should increase it.

The only real drawback to building solar power in a desert is sand storms. That means the capacity factor is less relevant but life span and repair costs is a different matter. It is a bit similar to ocean wind farms. The capacity naturally goes up, but the salt water and transportation (as well as increased risks to engineers) makes life span and repair a bit more of an issue (it should be noted that most ocean based wind farms tend to use shallows and nature reserves near large cities).

But again, this project is built in a desert. The very definition of a place with consistent amount of sun. I hope the project works out.
Solar is cheaper when you have a flexible and well interconnected grid capable of smoothing out, say, a cloud passing over Ute nation land and abruptly pulling 1GW out of the grid. That kind of grid costs money and we have no idea how much and how achievable it is. The alternative, grid scale storage for the full rated power, is still insanely expensive and makes renewables completely uncompetitive.

Yes, nuclear is getting buried on price, but you make out the total cost of solar much lower and much more certain than it is in reality. Nobody really knows how much will renewables end up costing when they start to make up the majority of production.

I'm pretty sure, as I constantly judge and monitor the quality of my code. But thanks for immediately disregarding my personal experience and inserting your own uninformed prejudged assessment, random internet guy.
Not sure I see how giving corproations due process undermines the efficacy of the US constitution.
If you can prove that a given KPI can be mapped to the bottom line, then you really have something. Usually it isn't this simple.

Was the high impact project rushed or was it staffed with crappy devs? Or both? Usually that is the reason for bad outcomes.
I'm not familiar with that. But if you can't build them with modern technology, 1950s technology wouldn't work either.
Off topic but what did you use to make your landing page?

> When the EU's biggest competitor to Apple, Google, and OpenAI is Spotify and Booking.com, there's a serious problem with the EU.

Whoa, where are you getting Apple and Google from? They’re outside of your arbitrary window, too, and Apple massively predates modern startup culture, even though I can understand why you want to claim some profitable companies to avoid having to make the claim that US quality of life is massively improved by companies trying to cause massive unemployment (OpenAI) or profit from it (Uber, DoorDash, etc.).

It is interesting seeing how focused you are on GDPR, because the only businesses that prevents are the ones which rely on users not controlling their personal data. There have been a lot of those because it offered easy paths to high user numbers, but they also tend not to be great for consumers - for all your lofty talk about “literal humanity-changing advancements”, most of the US startup market has been far less dramatic attempts to pull an Uber on some existing market.
Because they can't form a union in the first place due to union busting tactics like compulsory meetings that talk about how unions are bad, hiring consultants that spread fear and misinformation, or just threatening your livelihood by firing you for even attempting to form one.

There's a power imbalance—enforcement exists to help balance the scales so that an efficient negotiation between workers and the company can happen.
I plugged your comment into Gemini and ChatGPT Plus and recieved some interesting answers. Here's my prompt:

An article was shared titled "Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Without Prompting". Please explain what this comment on the article means: "Imagine chains-of-thought as first class vectors of communication, a formalization of a natural language paragraph. We could use them as frames of debate associated with any item of controversy, or any derived fact. We can patch and fork and merge them to try to make them stronger or debunk them. In other words these sound like a great way to communicate with each other as well as AI.

Gemini says your comment is different from The Socratic Method in the following ways:

Emphasis on questioning: The Socratic method primarily uses questioning to challenge and provoke new insights, while chains-of-thought reasoning presents a pre-existing chain of thinking for analysis.

Focus on individual vs. collective: The Socratic method typically focuses on the individual's understanding, while chains-of-thought reasoning emphasizes collective reasoning and building upon existing chains.
Efforts like the "IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology", where from an era that we learned what didn't work, which linguistics had learned way before CS.

The IEEE didn't go 'wishy-washy' they accepted that at that scope, 'Descriptive' was the appropriate approach and 'Prescriptive' was inappropriate for a broad context.

Same thing happen with most English dictionaries.

“Ubiquitous Language” concepts from DDD is probably the best example here.

Domain specific language is always polysemous to a wider scope. So DDD typically defaults to allowing domain experts (think accountants, not accounting software developers) to object to a rigorous “Ubiquitous Language” for interfacing with each other. This is important because when domain experts object to a formal definition as proposed, they are possibly concerned about nuances in that language that are important.

Obviously they may just be pedantic, but the default assumption is that they are trying to convey something important about the domain of discourse.

The Prescriptive model of enterprise architecture utterly failed to live up to it's promise, in part because word sense ambiguity is a pervasive characteristic of natural language even at the scope of an enterprise.
I use one of these.

If they can't even notice the abuse, does the abuse even matter? I think that's the core problem here.
> If Roe was an actual law, it wouldn't have been overturned

It would have been overturned at any point that the reps had both the legislature and the executive. 2002-2006, and 2016-2018.
Yeah, and he also gave many speeches and writings about how he is fighting Nazism in Ukraine. Are we seriously going to discuss Putin's speeches? This Putin's rhetoric did not exist before the 2014 revolution in Ukraine.
Zig build is somewhat poorly documented currently, which can lead to some annoyance (also some other annoyances with dependency hashes), but in my experimentation:

Dependencies in build.zig.zon are downloaded in to ~/.cache/zig/p/<hash> (incidentally, this means you need to mangle the hash if you are copying and pasting the hash for a dependency, at least currently. Dependency hashes are a sore spot tbh, and needs to be better)

Then when you are using said dependency in your build.zig, the function provided will refer to that source artifact in .cache.

At least this seems to be the case. I write a decent amount of zig, but haven’t dove too much in to the build system till recently, when I tried (and failed due to translate-c bugs), to get some C libraries added to zig using only zig build.
> A side note since I also hate exceptions: did you know that the most common (and accepted?) way to communicate exceptions in C# is via doc comments written manually by humans. Good luck statically analyzing that!

Java having checked exceptions is the primary reason I’m sticking with that language. Many libraries don’t use them, unfortunately, but an application that embraces them systematically is bliss in terms of error handling, because at any place in the code you always know exactly what can fail for what non-bug reasons.
indeed, but I can imagine a combination of limited drawing skills and lack of reference combined with hundreds of years producing it as an outcome
The broad frustration against pharmaceutical corporation isn't simply because they're for-profit. It's because they're not actually taking on the risky business development that profit seeking is supposed to be good at. If we can stop the free riding happening, for-profit pharmaceutical corporations would be just fine.
The candidates don't know your filters.
Apologies for the off-topic reply here, but they've just fixed the ipv6 issues with gtlib by removing the AAAA records.
Well, those warlords are getting paid by someone, and its not profitable to use warlords to extract resources and labor from a country with a functional government.
I use neovim, the tree-sitter support is great especially with nvim-treesitter which means I can just run `TSInstall <parser name>` and I'm done.

Writing a tree-sitter parser is not that easy though. I wrote tree-sitter-templ to parse templ files and I still have a hard time identifying some parsing errors, especially since I had to implement a custom external scanner which in my experience was the source of a lot of bugs.

This is a bit suspect... you're not patronizing enough to have been trained by OpenAI!
>The government isn't prohibiting them from forming a union and there are existing laws against companies retaliating through violence. If the company isn't retaliating with violence, isn't the union supposed to be the thing that protects them? Why don't they just get together and go on strike?

For that to happen the union has to already exist and be powerful.

I'm used to being called "insufferable" for working on free software. Still a bit harsh judgment of people who at the end of the day still produce software that you are free to use for any purpose or ignore, no?

> So it's Nix, but on extra-hard mode because of some impractical restrictions outlined by the author?

It's not Nix, and no, there are no impractical restrictions, nor is it hard to extend Guix with a wealth of third-party channels.

See other comments here that attempt to address this and other misconceptions surrounding Guix.
It’s a Nuxt static app but all hand rolled, no builder or anything like that if that’s what you are asking.
> I'm not sure why you can park a car on the street for hours for free, but not, say, a picnictable with a BBQ, a folding tablesaw, a telescope, a pop-up bookstore, a film projector, and so on.

You don't have to pay to do those other things either. You might not be able to because of safety reasons (e.g. a BBQ in some places) but the "for free" isn't relevant.

I began to wonder how the BBC or the authors even know that the best candidate was rejected? Sure they have several individual examples but they don't have any solid numbers - or I missed something.

So what does it actually mean "best candidate" as you point out. Perhaps the best candidate would have gotten bored with the position and have left to do their own thing while the "right candidate" stays and becomes a solid part of the company.
I'm not talking about "is this fake", I'm saying you can send Google a "dmca takedown" that doesn't provide all the information required by the DMCA, and they will still take the content down.
Yeah, exactly - as best as I can remember, and https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi seems to agree, Alpine on the pi defaults to a mode where it mosly loads itself into a ram disk on boot and just stays there. Which means that you're constrained on "disk" space (your root filesystem is no larger than ram), but if your workload fits in that then you have the advantage that after boot the system pretty much doesn't touch disk.
Do go to the international section of the store and get the Mexican Coke that is made with cane sugar.

> I think digging into the roots of SWE's not being respected is worth discussing. Are doctors, lawyers, or surgeons viewed the same way?

Those are three very different things with different growth paths. But as someone who went from engineer to entrepreneur and is now on the product side, I can say that software people, almost as a rule, focus on stuff that doesn't matter for promotion. It's really frustrating sometimes.

Modulo pathological things like corporate politics, companies care about profit and loss. Grow the business, make the money roll in, and your chances of advancement approach unity. But far too many software people devote their time to "honing their tools", when, to the company, the entire tools budget is just a cost center. Identifying as a "tool person" at all just means that you're climbing a greasy pole. This is true even in "pure" software companies -- the difference between working on a business-critical initiative and, say, code-review tooling, can be everything to your career path.

Just to emphasize this point, consider the growth paths for the other careers you mentioned. Lawyers get paid well overall, but making partner depends on bringing in business. Surgeons and doctors are a bit more complex due to licensing scarcity, but if you know anyone in private practice, it's the same gig: get clients, grow the business. Meet the minimum threshold for technical competency, and nobody really cares if you're the best surgeon in the state, so long as you're bringing in patients.

The world revolves around money. Software is relevant only to the extent that it makes money.
South Korea enacted a policy in which records of bullying are reflected on college entrance

that is an extremely bad idea. this means that mistakes you make as a child, will affect you for the rest of your life.

we need to keep in mind that bullies aren't just mean spirited kids that will never amount to anything good, but they are often themselves victims of a rough situation at home and use bullying as a way to share the pain they are experiencing.
True.

However we might think about this differently if we flipped it to "our standard is 20% completely untested".

Uncoverage communicates the value much better.
If you're so upset at what happened in Texas, then you should speak up to your representatives there. To me, it sounds like a larger systemic issue than just Bitcoin mining.

> I understand from your replies that you had a personal stake in shitcoin mining and you're pivoting to something else. Maybe for you the handwriting is on the wall.

This feels like a personal attack, which as I understand it, is against the guidelines. But, to explain... I worked for businesses with stakes. I didn't have it myself. That would be like blaming someone who works for SpaceX, for Elon's bad takes.
Fly recommend you use one of their mountable volumes for large model files rather than building it into the Docker image - you get faster cold starts that way, plus I think the images have size limits.
That's what I was looking for, I couldn't find any elements or class names that I recognized in the code from the popular frameworks. Looks great!
Very cool idea. I have implemented such "dumbing down" manually a couple of times - can confirm the pain is real.

Have to admit that the difference between the "before" and "after" UI in the video doesn't feel big enough. Did you consider removing also the "Projects" list on the left? Or reducing it?
Sigh, we were warned
Pharma companies receive easy and extremely subsidized access to research that costs almost a hundred billion every year. They don't need to be the direct recipients of the grant to be the direct benefactors.
It’s not the decline in population that’s a problem for Japan. It’s that the population is ageing. There’s a lot of old people, and not enough young people. So not enough working age compared to non-working population.

And they never had any significant amount of immigration, which has helped postpone similar issues in Europa and USA.
friend, I deeply disagree with your conclusion and your reasoning. The current situation is in need of guidance and new rules certainly. However the strident "don't do this to us" approach is wrong-headed from my own experiences and knowledge. There are a dozen major economic systems across the globe with billions of people involved, and those system do not agree with each other on this topic. There is no single answer for all people, all markets and at all times. In the USA and Western Europe, copyright is a foundation of individual authors and also companies, and builds an economic system of exchange that has worked in many cases, and for long periods of time. Abuses by powerful entities are not the reason to throw the entire system out, with insults and broad generalizations IMO.

> You don't lose your right not to be subject to arbitrary fines just because you incorporated.

One: NLRB rulings are "arbitrary" only if you somehow believe that a regulatory body, whose rulings can be appealed to an Article III court for redress, are intrinsically "arbitrary". Which is a quiet little hide-the-ball attempt at rhetoric.

Two: your fictive person provides the real people who've bought into it limited liability, which actual humans cannot avail themselves of. This is a superpower of your fictive person exists at the literal beneficience of the society that granted its charter; its bad behavior should be more readily addressed than the due process afforded to actual humans.

That’s an interesting perspective. What’s problematic is the level of corporate lobbying which can interfere with peoples’ (not shareholders, but those who work there) interest. They cannot afford lobbyists. Not without a union.
