Trick to avoiding bots is to:

* never add followers of very recent creation date

* ignore followers of lopsided ratio of followers

* mentally map and gauge responses before adding followers

* always block those likes on your tweets who have met above criterions.

Hardest part of maintaining your clean bot-free Twitter account is re-reviewing your 5K followers for bot-like profile.

Until most of above are fixed, the decline of natural and organic Twitter membership will continue.

This question speaks to the biggest communications battle I have had for the past 20+ years in my career.

I have a coworker that uses his quick talking ability to manipulate, accuse and scam his way through meetings and his daily work. He is management level (so am I) and it's impossible to have reasonable discussions for many reasons.

My solution:

I graciously communicate in a professional manner, work properly with this person as a normal work flow. I listen and give my feedback and this works really well to make the day go smoothly for both of us and anyone else in the area.

After any encounters with this person, I think about what happened, I make some notes about the events (date stamp it as well) and then let it sit in my mind until the next day at a minimum.

I have found that after doing this, I realized what really happened, (if I was tricked or manipulated or not) and then I do all of my responses in email.

I do not even try to do it verbally. In fact I have told this person and upper management, that I am not comfortable talking about events _because_ I am do not have quick responses to ward off the manipulations (I don't call it this to upper management though).

I state plainly that I do not want confrontation, and I just want to do my job, and I get too emotional and can sometimes communicate poorly verbally.

This is a reasonable statement, and I no longer have to replay my conversations when things go wrong, because I do it all in writing.

This has had the side benefit of causing this bully to back down, because he has relied on hiding behind clever wording and phrasing that I could not counter. And because I am being very open about my responses, he knows he would have to do the same if we wants to respond and his true motivations and intent would be revealed.

So I am now simply happier at work. I hope this helps some.
People fake it all the time though.

Yes, yes they can be, but also they also are not the cheapest way to save carbon.

Insulation makes a much bigger impact, that includes external wall insulation, and better glazing. its up to 2x cheaper.

These kinds of experiences are so meaningful.

Definitely an unforgettable moment in my adult life.
Thanks for Checksub, another happy user here.

We take multilingual, AI-cloned audio from you guys (split from background noise, of course), after we've processed the subs professionally at our end, then we align everything in your tool and send off to a third service for lip sync. The result has blown away a few clients now. The CEO speaking 5 languages with perfect lip sync in their own tone of voice is quite convincing.

Hopefully we can get it all in one tool soon.

I like Firefox for being able to edit internal CSS stylesheets in the devtools.

Chrome never gained that ability for whatever reason.
we can quibble about the age of different technologies and the impact they had on the dot com boom of the 90’s and 00’s, but it was more than the web. email, irc, nntp, and even early p2p were all a part of the rise of that bubble. and they all had a huge impact on what came after.

Have you ever thought that maybe gpt is not “humanity’s greatest achievement”?

In that case it is only smart to wait for hype to settle down before making big commitments.
This seems to be a popular opinion, but I believe they probably do it because it's good for their bottom line. The MS case was very different. The only relevant market was desktop computing, they had a monopoly on the desktop OS market, they baked the browser into the OS for no good reason, and they were taking actions to make OS competition impossible. Having a high desktop browser market share number honestly isn't a problem.
Same, Firefox on Android is extremely buggy for me. I experience frequent crashes because I have too many tabs open at once. Multiple times per day, I have to restart the app because the theme will bug between light and dark, which makes some of the UI text unreadable. And sometimes when I restart, I lose some of my most recent tabs for some reason. Very frustrating, but Firefox Sync and extension support are essential for me, so I deal with it.

By the way, I actually use Fennec from F-Droid and not Firefox from the Google Play Store, if that matters.
Depends. What, if any, are the negative effects on my son?

(And, I suppose, what are the negative effects on me? There's this guy in Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series that spends his life looking for the fountain of youth. This confuses Rincewind - why look for the fountain of youth while you're young? But the guy persists, and eventually finds it, and learns the hard way the really important thing nobody ever tells you: boil it first. The point is - or at least the point I took from it is - don't be so busy chasing living forever that you miss living.)

This is all great advice. One thing I would add to this is to deliberately steer your team to avoid making big decisions on calls or in meetings. Instead, make it so that your team prioritises asynchronous communication methods to discuss the lay of the land, and only make decisions after everyone has had time to contribute to the discussion.

I've found that creating a shared document or flowchart can work wonders if key team members engage and build upon it. And once everyone has said their share you can then have a meeting to discuss how to progress. I've found this method to work well as you can take your time to reply to suggestions and comments and research them better. It also removes and element of emotionality from the decision making: everyone can see the suggestions and counter points, but the conversation is often less defensive and more considered as people have time to second guess themselves. So by the time you hold the meeting the benefits and drawbacks of the contending options in meeting your goals are clearer.
Funny enough, I started to type some suggestions then I deleted the answer. I might write one later :)
PiP works the same for me on both browsers. You would have to ask them what they are not doing correctly.
This is not going to be well-received by their customers and is likely to send business to McDonald's and Burger King instead.

They also really shouldn't be doing "suggestive selling" whether with humans or machines. Just shut up and take the customer's order rather than trying to talk them into ordering something. Nobody likes when stores or restaurants do that even if it "increases metrics" because some people choose to buy the item being aggressively pushed. What you don't see are all of the people who go somewhere else to avoid having to deal with that.

no, the criticism of their side projects is NOT that they would provide diversification, it's that they're usually politically motivated feel-good marketing distractions with no chance of ever producing additional revenue except maybe by bringing users to Firefox by convincing them that Mozilla better-aligns with their worldview or whatever

except oops all corporate politics are the same so the politically motivated feel-good crap from Mozilla is exactly the same as the politically motivated feel-good crap from every other corporation and so it's all just a waste of time and money and effort that COULD as you put it "provide diversification" instead, if Mozilla was competently run
I loathe talking to people who rehearse the conversation ahead of time. They invariably don’t respond to what I actually said but rather change what I said to line up with what they practiced in the mirror. Or they say some version of “I expected you to say foo, to which I would have responded bar”. Cool story, but totally irrelevant.

If you don’t have an answer at the time just say so and follow up later. Waiting for your turn to talk is disrespectful and painful to watch.

Norway retaining a controlling share in Statoil, now Equinor, is not quite the same as buying a startup or indeed buying any other company.

Statoil was created by the state not bought by it. If anything Statoil is an example of the very opposite idea and that is that Norway has sold shares in a company set up by the state rather than bought shares in an already existing company.

> Why is this so shocking? Quantization has been widely explored, driving that to its extreme (and blowing up parameter count to make up for it) just seems like a natural extension of that.

I find it shocking that we don't even need lower floating-point precision. We don't need precision at all. We only need three symbols to represent every value.

> I feel like this follows naturally from having only ternary values, multiplication doesn't really bring much to the table here. It's a bit surprising that it's performing so well on existing hardware, usually multiplication hardware sees more optimization, especially for GPGPU hardware.

I find it shocking. Consider that associative addition over ternary digits, or trits, represented by three symbols (a,b,c) has only three possible input pairs, (a,b), (a,c), or (b,c) (within each pair, order doesn't matter), and only three possible outputs, a, b, or c. Matrix multiplications could be executed via crazy-cheap tritwise operations in hardware. Maybe ternary hardware[a] will become a thing in AI?

So some people just need a nudge in the right direction.

> in regard to the NATO-Ukraine question Putin had by that time already achieved a successful, non-violent containment strategy. But ultimately he opted for the full-scale invasion in 2022 anyway.

Beginning in 2019, Ukraine went full-press on seeking NATO membership. In fact, they "voted 334 to 17 to amend the constitution to state Ukraine's strategic objectives as joining the European Union and NATO" [0]. Again, Ukraine went as far as amending their constitution to codify the goal of joining the EU and NATO.

Now, was that Putin's "real" motive for the 2022 invasion? Who knows, I'm sure there are a number of reasons. Putin frankly denied Ukraine's right to exist. But regardless, it is very clear that his rhetoric over the past 17 years, and subsequent actions, are at least consistent with the NATO issue.

> First, it wasn't an "ouster" - he fled to escape likely imminent charges of corruption and complicity in murder.

There was a revolution in Ukraine in 2014 and he was overthrown. On February 22, 2014 the "Ukrainian parliament voted to remove Yanukovych from office by 328 to 0" [1]. He fled that evening. I have no doubt corruption and any number of other things led to the revolution. Regardless, he was very anti-EU and pro-Russia and his removal from office directly led to the 2014 Crimea invasion and the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war. In fact, Russia began organizing troops outside of Ukraine the very same day Yanukovych was voted out and the invasion began 5 days after his removal [2].

> Second - if you really believe that whatever happens in the internal politics of one country is a "reason for", or can "provoke" another country into launching a full-scale invasion -- then I don't know what to tell you.

If one country has been saying for nearly 2 decades that if another country joins NATO it means war, and then that country ratifies their constitution to seek NATO membership, and then a war happens, is it really that surprising? When the two countries are already at war over allegiances in the first place?

To this day I get a warm feeling when thinking of the german router manufacturer AVM because a support interaction I had with them was so great - and disdain when thinking of Vodafone because the interaction with them was so bad.

Now you can use Airbyte source connectors to process data in memory with Python.

We integrated Airbyte connectors with Pathway, a Python stream processing framework, using the airbyte-serverless project. We believe ETL pipelines are coming back with many use cases in AI (RAG pipelines), ETL for unstructured data and pipelines that deal with PII data. In this article, we show how to stream data from Github using Airbyte and remove PII data with Pathway. We are curious on your feedback on the implementation and other use cases you may think of from decoupling the extract and load steps.

SymPy is awesome indeed! I've been using it as a teaching tool for many years. IMHO, it's the best option as compared to Mathematica/Maple/etc. because the API functions match exactly the verbs students use when learning math (solve, expand, factor, etc.).

Lambda and GCP Cloud Functions do have cost controls. You can specify the maximum number of instances that can be spun up at any given point.

I think the UX can make it more friendly to specify the types of traffic and cost you’re expecting but most erroneous spikes are the result of a customer misconfiguration or a legitimate spike in traffic.

It’s the former which are problematic for customers. They can request a credit and we (GCP) try and accommodate.

It’s not a feature designed for profit. But it also tends to fall below the cut line for prioritization to fix. But it’s in the backlog and doesn’t go unnoticed.

I'm surprised this is getting so much attention. I thought this just standard practice at this point? If you use things like Gitlab CI then you get this via the `services` in your pipeline. The CI job itself runs in a container too.

I use a very similar thing via pytest-docker: https://github.com/avast/pytest-docker The only difference seems to be you declare your containers via a docker-compose file which I prefer because it's a standard thing you can use elsewhere.

I'm going to take issue with your use of the word "never" here.

If you said something like, "If you own A and B, don't use mocks the vast majority of the time", I'd even agree--but there are important exceptions (and I'd argue that non-deterministic B is one such exception).
