> Guess the average strength of an employee password!

It is interesting how sometimes creating "more secure" measures results on less security. Our IT department decided that using 2fa for vpn is not enough, we should also extra 2fa for connecting to the webmail even through intranet or vpn. Guess who stopped using the vpn.

Meanwhile, one can set up and use our email through any email client app on desktop or mobile without any 2fa at any step. Go figure.
> But 1 huge unexpected wind gust and lines can blow, and someone please monitor all those pesky clouds around the solar production because we need at least 5 minutes to get the coal plant producing.

Not being from the US, it would be helpful if you could include some extra context here. Do these prices include taxes and expected tips?

Edit to add: Those prices do sound expensive compared with here in NZ. I would currently expect to pay all up about 20-30nzd and maybe 25-40nzd for fish or steak. Fast food has also become similarly expensive here relative to other options. This is after some pretty steep inflation over the past couple of years.
I've read that ACX post, and it is frustratingly close-minded, like many of his posts. I swear, sometimes it seems like Scott is trying to trojan-horse "bad" ideas into his readership on purpose, given his consistency at picking bad ideas and then dressing them up to make them sound palatable. It is really weird. I guess we are ideological opposites in some way.

Anyway, the obvious response to that strawman of a critic is: nobody is using that heuristic, "disbelieving in everything". They're disbelieving in things by evaluating them. It's these things, the stupid "get rich quick" scams and the "crazy new technology that makes no sense on its fundamentals", that aren't interesting.

Now I would love to know why Bay-Area technologists (or a certain subtype of them) are so attracted to things I evaluate as bad ideas and not attracted to things I evaluate as good ideas. From the perspective of someone in that community it would seem like I shoot down every idea, but that's because their selection of ideas is uniquely bad. Out of the space of "all ideas I see", I see good ideas every day. Out of the space of "ideas they like", I seem to see only bad ones. The group with the strange selection bias is them, not me.
As a matter of fact, I started learning LilyPond last weekend using Frescobaldi, because of its awesome midi input, and because I figured I might get more efficient with code than with a WYSIWYG editor (I use MuseScore).

Frescobaldi is a very nice way of getting started. It generates code that you see, you can use buttons for features you don't know yet and then you can type code directly when you know it. Frescobaldi then remains useful for at least these reasons:

- midi input and output

- the rendered view and mapping between this view and the code when you click on stuff, quite like those latex IDEs

- new feature discovery. I discovered the concept of the UI that shows you what code is generated and where recently with LuCI for OpenWrt, which shows what config file is going to be updated and how; I love it and Frescobaldi has the same quality. I find it lets you get started and then master a new complex system efficiently and painlessly.

Of course I suspect I will reach for my usual text editor at some point... and maybe I need a midi input plugin for it (Kate, if anybody happens to know something about this)

Of course storing repeated notes in variable is incredibly useful, and managing different voices on the same clef is surprisingly easier than with MuseScore.

One thing I dislike is how stuff applying to several notes need to be "opened" after the first note. I needed to do such a thing to a group of notes that was also used elsewhere and storing this group of notes in a variable was only natural but then it's difficult to open something after the first note. But this is easily overcome by using an empty chord ( <> ) to start the grouping thing. Feels hacky but seems to work, I hope it doesn't have unintended consequences. I'm sure there's a very sensible reason for this that I will discover later and will make me think that it was an obvious design choice after all.

I'm not sure it's for everyone though. MuseScore is better at this, LilyPond has started being for me at a time WYSIWYG started being frustrating and when I started wishing the UI didn't get in the way of my note input (before this, I absolutely didn't want to write code to make a music sheet - just let me click already). But I'm used to code and to please compilers. Code scares a lot of people. I wish it didn't.

I used to live above the Almeida Theatre offices on Upper Street. I loved living there. Many visits to Screen on the Green, Islington Chapel, and the various bars and restaurants there.

Chance, sure, it's just a matter of logistics. Revision is a bit tricky since it's usually shortly after GDC, a very busy time in the game engine/middleware space I work in, so not usually when I feel up to a pair of international flights. :) Best odds are for something between Christmas and New Year's Eve since that's when I'm usually in Germany visiting family and friends anyway.

I don't know what really really bad means to you, but we can look around and see people who have eaten fructose their whole lives to no obvious effect. Almost every person I see.

So it's not going to meet my personal definition of really really bad.

It's already clear and well known that it's bad.

I am using copilots now since a few months and it really makes me a 2x more productive developer. Its like you become an orchestrator of a dev team. You still need to look into details, but things just flow much much faster. I can only imagine how it will be like if I also have access to a AI debugger / end to end tester. Completing the loop and making it super efficient.
Also think that this is not only the case for developers. Even for lawyer it could be the same thing. Expected production output of a worker is going to rise. The ones who do not embrace AI assistants in the near future will have a hard time in the future.

For most home use, you don't need UPS monitoring.

If you're home when it switches to battery power, the equipment will probably have been protected from any surge, and you'll hear the beeps from the UPS, and can manually shut down equipment.

If you're not home, and the power doesn't come on soon enough, power will be cut to protected equipment, without a surge, and at most the equipment probably only needs the auto-`fsck`.

And because no monitor means that you can have the UPS airgapped for data, there's less theoretical risk of a remote firmware hack causing a fire/explosion or toxic leak.

Idle wonder if while dark matter is not necessary as said ITT,

visible matter moving interacting with specific dark matter gravitational sources, in effect static wrt the galactic rotation of the visible, would explain the "origin" sought.

The Long, Surprising Legacy of the Hopkinsville Goblins
I can’t comprehend how this is built but it’s impressive. It reminds me of the book “A Short Stay in Hell” by Steven L. Peck.

“As a faithful Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he'll be reunited with his loved ones in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life. In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.“
I didn't explain it well but I think that's the point, one could do all kinds of visual or audio things, it's one of many multitools for audo-visual media creation. Often these projects need to combine multiple technologies to reach their goals. Often deadlines and expectations are ludicrous. Being able to sketch, prototype visually and build the finished project in the same tool is useful. Forget Figma it takes too long.

If you have a project that needs lights, video, lasers, sound, motion, cameras, exotic sensors etc and speed of creation is maybe more important than long-term stability, something like this might allow you to sketch your way to a solution significantly faster. The real code is always underneath, but it's kind of like having some kind of flow diagram, sketch tool, visual debugger and IDE.

The creative coding 'scene' (at least when I felt part of it) is loosely divided between patcher tools and traditional code-based tooling. vvvv is a patcher, like Max/MSP, PureData and Touchdesigner. You connect function blocks together to do stuff, you can see the data flow between and see the visuals they create. Like creating shaders at a high level of abstraction, I guess.

You might want to read the post again since I did not describe conservatives as progressives, quite the opposite. What I do say is that both philosophies have a role to play in society. Too much conservatism leads to stagnation while too much progressivism leads to chaos. Both scenarios have played out in history for your perusal.
The question I would like to know is whether that just leads you back to hallucinations. ie: is the avoidance of hallucinations intrinsically due to forcing the LLM to consider limited context, rather than directing it to specific / on topic context.

Which group/area did you work in? For context.

I mean I'm sure in a company of 140,000 people there's probably many cohesive groups of 100 people that will be super right-leaning. Like, most of the crew at the Jackson County, AL or Montgomery County, TN or Mayes County, OK datacenters. I'm sure there's areas of Google where you can express very right-wing opinions to your team and adjacent teams and still get promotions. Heck it's likely that being openly left-leaning in some groups will get you canned.

> want a scenario where the diversity programming produced a result that they would consider more insulting to minorities

They're trolls. They don't care about minorities. They just use diversity to wind people up because then they can press the 'white fragility' button when people complain and segue into another level of trolling. If minorities get offended they'll attack them with 'uncle tom' and 'oreo' type insults.

You are not dealing with people operating in good faith, it's obvious. Expecting their actions to make sense is pointless. They just love drama. Performance artists. Theater kids. Somehow they've got in there and have formed a little nucleus of toxicity which is why the company's headed downhill so fast.

I remember hearing "back in the day" that boy's cursive was neater than print because they learned it later, and had developed better fine motor skills by that point (and it's easier to learn a new script than unlearn bad habits with an already known script). So maybe wait until he has better fine motor skills and teach him a different writing style?

If he doesn't want to learn the Palmer method (what you probably learned if you grew up in the US), then perhaps Getty-Dubay?
To be fair, they said at the end that their path-finder is not yet competitive with the SOTA. The paper tests how well a transformer does at predicting an execution trace (like in a JIT compiler) and whether this can help improve heuristics in things like path-finding. I'm weary because transformers are slow.
> (specifically: it's the vector that rejects pluralism, divides the polity into "the people" and "the elites", and declares that a particular political agenda, in its entirety, represents the true will of the people)

The elites vs the people distinction is usually the key characteristic of populism in most definitions. Populist movements also tend to be very anti-establishment. Many vectors for influencing politics don't involve viewing society as this battle between the people and the elites. For example, while it's true that left-wing populists exist in the US I wouldn't describe the current Democratic party as a populist party. It is more of an institutionalist party and they don't tend to attack elites, because most groups traditionally considered part of the elite support the party. This is in contrast to the current Republican party which very much casts itself as being opposed to the elite. All the rhetoric about battling the deep state and draining the swamp is very much populist.
Also just slow, fragile environments once they are set up.

At a previous place I worked, tests would be slow, builds would frequently break and you had to recite the correct incantation of commands to fix them again.
We had a common saying: whenever someone would say their build process is broken, we'd say "ah you must have pulled master".

Environments that are fast, stable and get out of your way are a godsend. Unfortunately when working in a monolith, everyone's special build changes are shared with everyone else. Then those build changes break things.
One of my favourite theatres ever. I sometimes rode my motorbike and stuck it in a bay on Napier Terrace and even there I’d see drug dealing going on, which made me extremely nervous, having been bike jacked before. I was honestly surprised the dealing was going on so close to the squillionaires around the actual Almeida theatre.
no OP but likely does not include taxes or tip.
The study's questionable, and at the very least not universally generalizable. My handwriting is so bad notes are pointless typically, and I avoid hand writing anything so far as possible since writing is painful as well as pointless. I do not learn better taking written notes, I've tested this, personally I've tried it a few times and always found hand writing notes actually hinders my learning - I associate the subject with needless pain and busy-work.

I have spent time working out how to most effectively learn news things. Associating the learning with something you enjoy is critical, I hate physical writing, it can only hinder learning for me.
