It shouldn’t be. If 90% of your work force is ready for replacement by AI, given the immature state of AI, something has fundamentally failed.

Perhaps the greatest failure is in perceptions of originality. A transportation engineer primarily works through communicating original ideas in the forms of drafts, papers, models, and so forth. Contrast that to a mechanic that changes oil, rotates tires, and flushes your transmission. Mechanics do work that is not original.

Most software developers want to call themselves engineers and yet their first fear is originality. You will hear that expressed as reinventing a wheel. These are mechanics, not engineers. Sure, there are senior mechanics that can repair transmissions and rebuild engines, but that still does not rise to the level of engineering. Software does not formalize what defines a senior or an engineer. The result is a lot of unqualified people wearing lofty labels, Dunning-Kruger. Ultimately, what matters is what you produce but for most developers things produced not by strangers are not worthy of trust.
Not in your lifetime but wasn’t Jefferson murdered by the banks for wanting to ban interest on the dollar? Same for President Jackson, he was shot but not killed for the same reason.
Being married usually bring very important rights.

A good example is legally being considered a partner if the other is in a hospital. In pre-same-sex marriage there have been concrere situations where partnes have been denied seeing their significant other on their death bed.
Maybe they meant big as in "big in Japan", if you know what I mean :D the techno scene in Paris, although undoubtedly vibrant, is definitely less renowned than Berlin's.
The point is that, by default, you're not paid the value you create for others. It's not pride or narcissism to recognize that in a capitalist system everyone is out for themselves. If YOU aren't out for yourself, no one is.
I think the scene is complaining about tourists and "foreigners" was a bad choice of word in this thread. People are flocking to big names and entry prices are as high as they have ever been. It's less about the actual music.

And in that complaint I don't see any irony.
What is "ultra-processed"? Last night I cooked Beef Stroganoff from scratch (well, I used supermarket soured cream, so not completely from scratch). I added salt, flavourings (herbs, mustard, brandy), and fat (butter). As far as I can tell, that kind of home cooking matches the definition of "ultra-processed". I believe a slice of bread can count as ultra-processed.

It's really not a useful designation, and I think it's unfortunate that the UN has adopted it as a battle-cry.
I didn't claim that the cause of the problem was with manufacturing capacity.

But if the US didn't have implicit price controls ("just try raising prices 3x at this time of national need, you will regret it" from politicians), the deficits would have resolved in a week. My 2c.
That is assuming you don't factor in the harm it causes through globalization.
Yeah, I did this, following one of the guides (possibly the one linked in the parent). It definitely worked with the worst of these bottom-feeders: mylife.com

It involved phone call to an Indian call-center. While remaining polite (not easy) but persistent, I had to listen to multiple dumb pitches about their "services". I stuck with it and in the end they removed my name but indicated it "may" come back.

That was in 2018. My name no longer appears when searching their website. I do, however, get MULTIPLE garbage emails per day from mylife indicating "changes" about my profile and that of my family and neighbors.

I have avoided dealing with 3rd parties for this stuff. In addition to the fact that they may, as Krebs indicated, racketeer with the scummy brokers there's ALSO another concern: Some of them PAY the data brokers a percentage of the fees they collect to remove names. The last thing I want is for these bastards to get any money for their activities.

BTW, the founder and CEO of Mylife.com is Jeffrey Tinsley. He appears to have made quite a fortune doing this data-broker shit.
Slint 1.5: Declarative GUI, Embracing Android, and Introducing Pythonic Slint
Many people become wealthy because of their willingness to engage in criminal behavior, but once they make it they want to be seen as legitimate business people. They go to great lengths to launder both their money and reputation. Their money, willingness to engage in criminal behavior, and the other malintents they picked up along the way make them particularly dangerous to expose.
Who is actually demanding this fad? What's wrong with the natural way of eating?
This could maybe be useful if you have a (race) car with a sequential gearbox, but for a regular H-pattern, it seems rather pointless, other than fun and novelty factor.
This post was very wrong and misleading on multiple points.

I have seen a lot of people praising Postgres over e.g. MariaDB. But more often than not it seems to be people how lack knowledge.

Take this linked post, where the author points out "The untuned PostgreSQL performs poorly (x1050)" later followed by "This performance can’t be considered bad, especially compared to pure OLTP databases like MySQL and MariaDB (x3065, x19700)".

Frist of all, those are not pure OLTP databases. And if the author took a better look at the benchmark he would see that MariaDB using ColumnStore is at x98. That's 10x the performance of Postgres out of the box, and 200x faster than the author stated.
Debugging is a lot easier in PyTorch. Although you can debug the compiled graph in Tensorflow, from experience, the local state might not be the same in debug mode as in compiled mode.

Also, I've encountered strange performance regression issues with the newest Docker releases of Tensorflow, with 10x slow-downs compared to previous minor releases. And the docker version was always slower than the local version. Something something Nvidia & CUDA I guess. I had not performance differences with PyTorch when using docker.

It should be said that Tensorflow was generally 10 to 20% faster for similar models. But that could be down to my ineptitude.
This seems rather unlikely to stand up to court scrutiny, I'd have thought. And realistically, ultimately this sort of protectionism almost never lasts. I'm sure Ron DeSantis, had he been around early last century, would've banned cars to appease the horse lobby, too (and protectionist bans on cars were absolutely a thing in the early days), but there's no future to it.

In any case, this appears to only cover cultured meat, which is not commercially available in significant quantity anywhere, and likely won't be for some time. It doesn't cover quorn and the like (the koji mold product is very much in the quorn category, not the cultured meat category).
Moving the goalposts. I didn't say it wasn't revolutionary either, just that they haven't gotten to that part yet.
If we really need an assistant to do all this, perhaps our society is really in need of an overhaul. We are becoming mindless automatons pushing mindless content generated by a mindless AI -- how about instead removing the necessity to do all that by removing the perverse incentives that cause them in the first place?

I'd rather read something written by a human than AI garbage.
If a human does that to another human is it a form of harassment? When software does that is that the same?

I find the dark screen report persuasive because there's an air worthiness directive against that 787 which will cause the reset of flight control l computers. That would be consistent with both the dark screens story and the loss of control, if true.

It is unfortunate that you did not account for possible development in the neighborhood when you got your property and it is your problem, but not your business. Also it is fun that your protection of nature in the end is just protection of privilege.
Yeah, I saw when they announced on here, I think.

One question: Do you know if they pay the data brokers a percentage?
Your point about the decommissioning is right, this is a hard topic that should be teach for sure.

If people need to know why you might call it a 'scam' it failed during the AT&T outage and caused most news sites to misreport what was going on i.e. -

"Tens of thousands lose cellular coverage from AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and more" - https://fortune.com/2024/02/22/cellular-service-outage-att-v... (CNN and most news sites have corrected their stories)

You could image some sort of botnet (with AI for the Blackhat VC capital) causing a complex news story for some benefit.
Oregon is beautiful. For the Canadian “east is least” crowd there’s the Torrance barrens dark sky park 2 hours north of Toronto with impressive night skies. But, like every attraction around the GTA it gets very crowded and many don’t respect the code of darkness which has lead to same nasty verbal fights.

Not commenting on this specific case, but it is possible for things held (or not) by pilots to affect the controls. An RAF Voyager (strategic lift aircraft based on the A330) dived 4000ft because the pilot was using a personal camera throughout the flight and it got stuck between his seat and the joystick, and his failure to admit it caused an accident investigation that temporarily grounded the entire fleet [0], [1].

I’ve climbed with him a few times. His whole emotional pallet is very flat.
I had this thought the other day that the whole chain of thought reasoning pattern contributing to improved performance in LLM-based systems seems to sit parallel to Kahneman's two-system model of the mind that he covers in 'Thinking, Fast and Slow'.

Haven't read it in a few years, but I recall the book suggests that we use one 'System 1' in our brains primarily for low-effort, low computation thinking - like 1+1=? or "the sky is ____".

It then suggests that we use a 'System 2' for deliberate, conscious, high-cognitive tasks. Dense multiplication, reasoning problems, working with tools - generally just decision-making. Anything that requires focus or brain power. Our brain escalates tasks from S1 to S2 if they feel complex or dangerous.

Maybe I'm being too cute, but it feels like critique that "LLMs aren't intelligent because they are stochastic parrots" is an observation that they are only equipped to use their 'System 1'.

When we prompt an LLM to think step-by-step, we allow it a workspace to write down it's thoughts which it can then consider in it's next token prediction, a rudimentary System 2, like a deliberation sandbox.

We do a similar thing when we engage our System 2 - we hold a diorama of the world in the front of our mind, where we simulate what the environment will do if we proceed with a given action - what our friend might respond to what we say, how the sheet steel might bend to a force, how the code might break, how the tyres might grip. And we use that simulation to explore a tree of possibilities and decide an action that rewards us the most.

I'm no expert, but this paper seems to recognise a similar framework to the above. Perhaps a recurrent deliberation/simulation mechanism will make it's way into models in the future, especially the action models we are seeing in robotics.
Postgres handles updates as insert+delete, and its secondary indexes reference the physical location of the row, instead of the primary key. This means that whenever an update results in an insert to a different page, the index needs to be updated as well, even if the indexed column hasn't been modified.

At least it has an optimization that if the insert ends up in the same page, it won't need to update the index https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/storage-hot.html

Replication has a similar amplification issue. Historically postgres has favored physical replication over per-row logical replication, that means that replication needs to transfer every modified page, including modified indexes, instead of just the new value of the modified row. (I think logical replication support has improved over the last couple of years).

There is the OrioleDB project, which attempts to improve on the design flaws in postgres's storage engine, but it's definitely not production ready yet.
Ever since my friend’s father (a police officer reviled for lacking the requisite appetite for corruption) “committed suicide” I’ve been a little more than a little skeptical about convenient suicides.

I was one of the first on the scene. The passenger window of his car was shattered, all of the glass on the inside of the car. No blood on the glass. The car was still in drive and had driven itself off the road. A gun was found on the floor under the seat, a gun that was unknown to family members.

Ruled a suicide and multiple attempts to open an investigation all the way up to the federal level were ignored, and his son received numerous, documented death threats warning him to stop perusing an investigation.

The USA is just another banana republic, only with a higher price of admission to the table.

I think most people know that these kind of “suicides” or “accidental falls” from hotel balconies are not suicides, yet we all know we are powerless to root out this level of imbedded corruption.

What most people fail to understand is that it isn’t so much the work of corrupt politicians or shadowy crime bosses, but more often is rooted in the C-Suite. Since criminal and sociopathic characteristics are often rewarded at the executive level , it should be no surprise that crime and corporate governance are frequently intermingled.
That switch almost seems to be made for being pressed accidentally - pretty big and seemingly easy to accidentally run into. I guess the big part behind the headrest is the mentioned cover and should be down with a pilot in the seat making the switch inaccessible? And I guess this button is required to get in and out of the seat and that is why they made it so big and easy to access?

EDIT: Better video [1], that switch is not easy to press, I completely misinterpreted the video.

I would expect the seller to fix that. Furniture at that price should last much longer. Don't you have any concept of 'merchantable quality' in the US?
I have not read the article, but I bet the answer is a plain and simple: "Because people buy cheap instead of quality!"

Arguably, better safety will increase the numbers of people wanting to climb Everest, and thereby increase revenues.
There's really nothing _inherent_ to soy that makes it bad for the environment; in fact as a nitrogen fixing plant it's, all else being equal, on the environmentally friendly side (you don't need as much fertiliser). However, for practical purposes, a lot of soy production is environmentally unfriendly, due to deforestation largely in Brazil.

Soy produced in the US and China (the major non-former-forest-oriented producers) is pretty environmentally friendly, certainly moreso than any animal protein production. However, as you say, it mostly goes to livestock feed anyway.

You set your own hours or even if you work at all. Don’t feel like working? You just don’t. Don’t have to tell anyone or get permission and no one gets mad.

I have multiple friends who drive for Uber/Lyft, and it’s their second side gig they do when they have a couple extra hours and want some extra money.

Even if it’s not perfectly an independent contractor, from a practical standpoint it sure doesn’t smell like traditional employment at all. Imagining the Venn Diagram of features, it seems a lot closer to contactor.
Once upon a time when moving countries people would pay for a shipping container... another unfortunate side effect of everything becoming shit - it's not even worth taking stuff with you.
Go is not quite the same but definitely on a similar level of abstraction to C, C++, Rust, etc. If that statement makes you raise an eyebrow, I'd suggest that while Go requires more runtime than C or Rust, it does still give you:

- Direct memory access through `unsafe`. Python kinda does through `ctypes`?

- Tightly integrated assembly language; just pop Go-flavored assembly into your package and you can link directly to it.

- Statically-compiled code with AOT; no bytecode, no interpreters, no JITs.

Therefore what really sets Go apart is that it gives you all of these rich standard library capabilities in a relatively lower level language.

Of course I kind of understand why Rust and C++ don't put e.g. a PNG decoder in the standard library, I think this is somewhat an issue of mentality; those are things that are firmly the job of libraries. But honestly, I wish they did. It's not like the existence of things in the standard library prevents anyone from writing their own versions (It doesn't stop people from doing so in Go, after all), but when done well it provides a ton of value. I think nobody would claim that Go's flags library is the best CLI flag parsing library available. In fact, it's basically just... fine. But, on the other hand, it's certainly good enough for the vast majority of small utilities, meaning that you can just use it whenever you need something like that, and that's amazing. I would love to have that in Rust and C++.

And after experiencing OpenSSL yet again just recently, I can say with certainty that I'd love Go's crypto and TLS stack just about everywhere else, too. (Or at least something comparable, and in fairness, the rustls API looks totally fine.)

It's not everyone's cup of tea but Kit Kat is an experience you won't find in many other places.
I live in the Netherlands and have a symmetric 1Gbps connection for 50EUR/month, and I had no idea how privileged that kinda internet speed really is until recently. My ISP's recently told me that they now support symmetric 8Gbps links for domestic networks for 70EUR which is tempting, but even I have to admit it's overkill for my usecases.

I've recently been on vacation back to my home country (Indonesia) where my parents have some $100/month 50 up/5 down internet package, and I was struggling with how slow that is. Things I always took for granted like pulling in Docker images or whatever would take forever compared to back home, and doing anything while on a conference call or whatever was a non-starter.

I'm always amazed when I read about US internet. With the whole tech sector being what it is there, you'd think they'd be world-class in terms of internet speed/stability/price, but it seems basically comparable to the internet you get on a remote island in Indonesia, which is mind blowing to me.
withinboredom seems to be making the similar but tangential point that, in the same way that absence of gunpowder is evidence [of something] while presence of gunpowder isn't evidence of anything, it's possible to demonstrate that a death was not by suicide, but it isn't possible to demonstrate that a death was by suicide. Same idea, but reversing "which part of the sentence is the variable".
