Canonical's interview process is legendarily invasive and dumb, and they get very touchy when you tell them so. I enjoyed how, when I pointed out that the questions about high school extracurriculars would narrow down many of my demographics and let you guess at a few others (and just the way I write would let you make strong inferences about others), they clammed up and told me I could do it or drop. I dropped.

Maybe eventually (as a different spec). We've talked about wanting to support it in the DecompressionStream API or something similar at some point.

If you need it to be able to do compression though then it might be a harder sell since the browser doesn't ship with the compression code for zstd or brotli and would have to justify adding it.
Yeah, we need to get something up about the pricing model. There will be three tiers. Basic is free will let you just label your plants and comes with every label. Plus adds the journal feature, the care database, and will let you share management of your garden for $10 or so per year, and there will be a premium plan for $25 or so per year that will let you make your garden public.

If you want to limit the initial impact of a malicious extension, a mandatory hold or slow rollout would be more appropriate. There is no need to bother normal users if they would never inspect the code anyway. If some users want to inspect it first, they can go into the options and turn off automatic updates. Fixes for serious vulnerabilities that require immediate rollout are much rarer and often small, and could be reviewed by the extension store team.
This is just monitoring, not a pump. There is no learning or tuning or dosing. If it’s anything like the Freestyle I wore for a while there’s a self calibration process that takes a couple hours, but that’s per-sensor, and those get changed out every two weeks.
I think the NTSB would probably love to interview to the crew who actually used the tools--even if nobody can figure out which exact team used the tools on this exact plane--they probably wouldn't so much as incriminate themselves as to paint a picture of incredibly shoddy quality control. Instead carefully parse that phrase "names of Boeing employees, including door specialists, who we believed would have relevant information" which are all likely management / project-management kinds of positions who are vetted by Boeing.
Gosh I hate teams. Just
Today it crashed, because I tried running it in Firefox with ublock I guess. But then Firefox reloaded and it worked, however it simultaneously loaded new teams (for work and school?) by launching an integrated app that I guess snuck in with a windows update. An app which I did not request, and you cannot remove. Then they both wanted my camera and microphone at the same time, which somehow worked…

I worked with catboost, lightgbm, and xgboost when doing the zillow kaggle competition a long time ago, 2016 I think. I used what is called blending, where you give a weight to the models such as:

I've heard similar things from former employees too. One glassdoor reviewer (so take with a grain of salt) said that they were called stupid by leadership for suggesting that the process might be biased, which of course it is. It also feels dehumanizing. It may take months to go from applying for a job to talking to a real human being.
I get the impression that the development of their waver steppers is still in Veldhoven. It is there were they are assembled and where improvements are tested. It is easy to move production departments, than research and development. It might be the case that part of the research and development is done in close cooperation with some of the suppliers. Their waver steppers have (probably) millions of parts that all have to work together.

Yup. A1C, which is the main diagnostic measure, due to the way it’s measured is a roughly 90 day moving average with somewhat of a recency bias.

Conceptually not much has changed since the book was written, but in practice there has been a lot of advancement. For example, ASLR and the increase in the number of libraries has greatly increased the pressure to make relocations efficient, modern architecture including PC relative load/store and branch instructions has greatly reduced the cost of PIC code, and code signing has made mutating program text to apply relocations problematic.

On Darwin we redesigned our fixup format so it can be efficiently applied during page in. That did in include adding a few new load commands to describe the new data, as well as a change in how we store pointers in the data segments, but those are not really properties of mach-o so much as the runtime.

I generally find that a lot of things attribute to the file format are actually more about how it is used rather than what it supports. Back when Mac OS X first shipped people argued about PEF vs mach-o, but what all the arguments all boiled down to was the calling convention (TOC vs GOT), either of which could have been support by either format.

Another example is symbol lookup. Darwin uses two level namespaces (where binds include both the symbol name and the library it is expected to be resolved from), and Linux uses flat namespaces (where binds only include the symbol name which is then searched for in all the available libraries). People often act as though that is a file format difference, but mach-o supports both (though the higher level parts of the Darwin OS stack depend on two level namespaces, the low level parts can work with a flat namespace, which is important since a lot of CLI tools that are primarily developed on Linux depend on that). Likewise, ELF also supports both, Solaris uses two level namespaces (they call it ELF Direct Binding).

The export was mostly painless. Linear doesn't have direct support for a migration from Pivotal, so you have to use their CLI tool for the import, which relies on their API. My initial attempt failed because they wouldn't allow more than a set number of requests per hour. An email to their support later and I was able to get this raised to accommodate the amount of data we have. I haven't dug deep, but there weren't any options presented to bring comments or attachments in, which is unfortunate as some of that historical context is important for us.

I'm also scoping out Shortcut. Shortcut's interface feels a bit more familiar when coming from Pivotal. Their import process is even less polished though. For Pivotal you have to send an email to them, they reply with a template .csv that you have to ETL your data into.

Right now the jury is still out for us.
Yes, when I received my license, I had to do a road test with a state trooper riding shotgun. Four years later, my younger sibling did not have to do the road test. I don't know what the particulars were of qualifying to not have to do the test, but taking a certified driver's ed class was still a requirement. So it's not like there was someone just taking a multiple choice test with no behind the wheel training.
However, such attention drives a perception that regulation of image generators is necessary.

We live in a time where AI text generators have broken all of the citizen feedback mechanisms used by government agencies and representatives of the citizens. Even if our representatives and government agencies were still so inclined as to take citizen feedback into account when going about their duty to the nation, they simply can't anymore. There's no way to differentiate feedback from real citizens with feedback that's artificially generated.

The average person is not the one writing articles and generating concern about the potential of these images.

And honestly it seems a bit odd that this person went through such an escalation path without planning for some kind of eventually media and political attention to benefit from. Asking both MS and OpenAI to take their product off the market completely, if what the article reads is true. Really?

Consider, though, who benefits from such 'whistleblowing' as in the article:

1- Any BigCompany seeking to stifle competitors in the early stages of a huge new market: Regulating the creation of such images might easily stifle innovation and open source tools, making it so only BigCorp can afford to implement such things 'safely'.

2- The 'whistleblower' himself, with several potential benefits to this whistleblowing: It sets up retaliation protection in a downturning economing, could act as a loud background screen for any potential lawsuits against his employer in the future, it position himself as an 'expert' for future career growth, and it builds a foundation to leverage in acquiring lucrative consulting contracts with politicians and PACs.

3- Politicians and PACs: They'll use reports like this as justification to introduce regulation, which provide themselves with a lot of benefits. They can add riders or other clauses from their corporate supporters to any kind of 'protect the fake AI children' bill, which can help established players build moats, particularly if they had a say in how such a bill was written. PAC and politicians can leverage the wording of such riders or their vote on the passage of legislation like this to encourage greater financial support through now-legal dark money campaign finance channels, which can improve capability of politicians to stay in power. Or the politician could trade their vote on something their demographic doesn't really care about with some other politician in exchange for support on an unrelated matter.

3- Media: Sensationalism sells, and they need an unending supply of content that can produce provocative headlines to feed their clickbait generators.

In the end.. I see this as one more drop of deliberately sensationalized content, feeding into one of many artificial feedback loops used to manipulate and shape creation of legislation.

Due to wrist injuries I used to type and turn in printed copies of my homework for a variety of math heavy engineering classes. It was quite nice once I got used to it especially because it reduced the friction of fixing a mistake and reduced the cost of including connecting or explanatory prose statements. It really improved the quality of my written work (especially the diagrams and the greek letters).

Anyway, I just got excited because I hadn't heard of anyone else doing that, I hope it remains a useful technique for your daughter for her classes.

You're aware that we generally took the SAT in the same kind of classrooms that we took our class tests, or the state standardized tests, or the APs?

If kids were getting extra time on standardized tests, we'd know.

The concept of creating a standard viral privacy policy that dictates how your data must be access/stored/secured is super intriguing. I'm imagining a future where this is combined with FHIR - you can link individual FHIR resources to a privacy policy/license, maybe sign the resources so they can't be easily modified. Downstream apps would need to respect the policies before using the data.

I do wonder who would actually push for this though - I care, privacy focused patients would care, but getting adoption might be tough?

Yeah I recently found out about `nox` in the Python world. That combined with someone squatting the crates.io name might make us change it completely. Our Python library right now installs as `elodin`, and we might just stick with that
This is wrong and even just looking at the examples is enough to understand that it's wrong. Writing your program to use UDP instead of TCP won't make it work any better when someone unplugs the network cable. An abstraction performing worse isn't a "leak" - the abstraction is still doing what it said it would (e.g. the SQL query still returns the right results), and in practice very few query planners are worth tuning manually (indeed PostgreSQL doesn't even offer you the ability to do hints etc., and that doesn't seem to hurt its popularity). I've never understood why this post was so popular - it only ever seems to be used as an excuse for those who want to write bad code to do so.

The reliability of trains in Germany is horrible compared to the planned and published timetables.

However, there are typically many more connections than in many other countries. Don't expect to be at your destination in time, but once you have accepted that travelling by train is still better than in many other countries. Yes, Switzerland plays in a different league.

Cars get stuck in traffic jams all the time. Still I don't hear frequently how horrible travelling by car is.
Yeah, which circles back to the thread-starter's comment. My thought-experimental different version of rust would not mind shipping with a privileged implementation of garbage collection, or having allocation be part of the language.

The difference is that people buy a phone because you need a phone to function in the modern world and then play games on it because might as well. Whereas people buy a console specifically to play games. That means the gamedevs have more leverage in the latter scenario.

There's absolutely no way we can know this until a functional AI has been developed, and even then how is that % calculated? Do we only consider the code required, the training data set, or do we need to include the underlying tech from GPUs to electricity?

> What happens when we invent intelligence itself?

Well first we have to agree on a definition of intelligence and a reliable way of measuring it. I'm not aware of an answer yet on either of these, and humans have been trying to answer these questions for a very long time.

Is there a reason you'd use HEPA instead of having a bigger MERV filter and relying on multiple passes to get the air clean?
