I was always suspicious of all the 4-factor personality tests I was exposed to in the corporate world because it seemed to me they were glossy but not very helpful.

Then I found out about OCEAN and realized the 4 factor tests were always avoiding the only one that mattered: Neuroticism.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the pledge during the 2019 election campaign, and the goal was repeated during the government’s 2020 throne speech setting out policy objectives.

Heck if they had just asked every new immigrant/refugee to plant just 1 tree immediately they’d be much further into this goal.

I actually like the idea of such a program that I just dreamed up. Newcomers to Canada should be excited to fulfill their patriotic duty to plant 1 tree to “grow new roots” in their home country

India has rampant corruption. Almost all the "winners" in bids are pre selected. There is no real competition, hence the fat profit margin. To be fair, a significant part of the "profits" gets sent up the food chain to ensure more contracts keep coming.
That's fair, I completely didn't take into account how much some people tend to drink and how much space it would take up if you're planning on brewing enough for daily drinking indefinitely.

I guess it depends on how much they're planning on pushing the taxes up. I can't see Australia style taxes working out because of how easy it is to brew relatively strong and still palatable alcohol just about anywhere. Someone will pick up the slack. Legalized marijuana didn't kill off the black market in some states because it's still significantly cheaper to purchase quality and quantity outside of a dispensary due to tax costs.

Have you actually tried that or are you just regurgitating Google’s marketing? I’ve seen Jax perform _slower_ than PyTorch on practical GPU workloads on the exact same machine, and not by a little, by something like 20%. I too thought I’d be getting great performance and “saving money”, but reality turned out to be a bit more complicated than that - you have to benchmark and tune.

Yeah, I think there was some confusion about which video on the page was causing the issue, but the test cases I created are much simpler - just one video per page.
That’s what makes this so clever: these systems were born in the era where you couldn’t trust anything - compilers sometimes emitted buggy code, operating systems would claim to be Unix but had weird inconsistencies on everything from system calls to command line tool arguments, etc. - so they just try to compile a test script and if it fails assume that the feature isn’t supported. This is extremely easy to miss since the tool is working as it’s designed and since it’s running tons of stuff there’s a ton of noise to sort through to realize that something which failed was supposed to have worked.
Everyone thought Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine until they did. Everyone thought two countries having a McDonalds meant peace between them until they didn't.

Denial and delusions are the most basic of mental health defense mechanisms, but society cannot work if everyone is in denial or experiencing delusions. It is better for the individuals, but not better for the whole.

I'm not a proponent of being hopeless, but if everyone is living in la la land thinking nothing bad can happen until it does... I don't think that is a good way to conduct society. We have very real unaddressed problems. I think wanting to escape from that is at least understandable if not rational.

I, personally, do not feel hopeless when there are problems, I feel hopeless when other people do not recognize those problems. I feel hopeless when problems are not being addressed.

Historians at ivy league colleges are saying that the forces that made Russia Russia (increasing wealth inequality and decline of rule of law), and the forces that put Hitler into power in Germany (rampant nationalism, stoking the public with a desire for quick solutions, and appealing to the German aristocracy's greed) are both active in America.

WHy do you say that Prolog is ternary? It ssemantics are roughly those of predicate logic that is bivalent. In Prolog a "query" can either succeed or fail, i.e. be true or false, or raise an error- are you counting errors as a third truth value?
Certainly. Here are a few articles from reputable sources:

And because I found it interesting, this study that aligns more with your point of view that concluded that cats who are allowed to roam do get more intellectual fulfillment than indoor-only cats on average: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10451177/

I would also like to note that I have seen firsthand how much cats infected with FIV and FeLV suffer when not actively treated, and all other considerations aside, I would never let my cats roam outside without a leash because of the prevalence of those diseases alone.

Some of the checks are there to tell whether or not the compiler even supports your code. You may not be able to compile your code at all, and the job of the build system is sometimes to just emit useful errors to help the person building the code to understand that they need a compiler which supports [language feature X].

Again, this is intended to be portable software. It is designed to work on lots of OS’s, with lots of compilers, in a lot of future environments that don’t even exist yet.

If you have a security feature for example, which uses the pledge() syscall on OpenBSD, but you can only use that feature on OpenBSD systems, you have two choices:

- Conditionally compile it based on whether you’ve detected that this is an OpenBSD target at build time, or,

- Conditionally compile it based on whether some sample code that uses pledge() builds successfully.

You can’t defer this decision until runtime, because it would require linking to pledge() symbols even though they may not exist on this system, which would cause the executable to fail to link at runtime, unless you completely rearchitected to use a plugin model, which is overkill.

So given the above are your main two options, the latter is preferred mainly because it allows new systems to come in and be compatible with old ones (maybe someone adds pledge() support to Linux one day) without having to fudge the uname command or something. This was super important in the early Unix days… perhaps less so now, but it’s still a good way to write portable software that still can take advantage of platform-specific features.
I don't entirely disagree with you, but I think your wrench analogy only really works if the wrench sometimes thinks it is a screwdriver or a piece of wood for the majority of users, and only experienced highly technical mechanics can consistently guide it to remembering that it is a wrench.

The problem is that the toothpaste is already out of the tube in terms of what it's been hyped to be for the average person, and they are disappointed to learn that it doesn't really work that way. And there are many people who have not yet realized, or realized too late, that it's not appropriate for the work they're doing and its "assistance" is ending up in finished products in any case.
A socket wrench won't randomly decide to turn the wrong direction every os often.

Also, responding to the racism (embedded in American culture, in a sense, through the propaganda of big businesses chasing profits in, shall we say, agricultural interests) of the white American middle class. As with lebensraum, the American suburban experiment doesn't make a whole lot of sense outside of a hysterical need to ethnically cleanse one's neighborhood.

Older people who live in cities and planned, theme park-like communities - which facilitate car-less, low-distance daily social activity outside the home - tend to do better.

The office I’m at receives significant tax benefits from meeting targets for person-days in the office per year. This is a pretty common arrangement, I think.

[edit] in fact, at certain times they’ve had to shift workers around when new buildings have been completed to meet occupancy targets for whatever benefits they’re getting, before they have enough new hires or transfers to really use the space. Just shuffling people a few hundred meters away so the compliance forms have the right numbers. Total joke.
> Siblings saying "we don't know" haven't really groked the post I don't think.

The reason for saying "we don't know" is not that we don't understand what's detailed in TFA, but that the backdoor embeds a 88 kB object file into liblzma, and nobody has fully reverse engineered and understood all that code yet. There might be other things lurking in there.
We are just a month away from releasing an internal tool for our sales dept that combined LLM and old fashioned statistical models to generate draft sales speeches. (We are a selling to businesses on a specific field, and our sales speeches are usually highly data-driven and customised per client, placing emphasis of how much additional revenue would the client get out of the purchase according to our analysis.)

It seems to work pretty well for this scenario. The usage is company internal (only draft generation) and the sales reps are augmented by the AI, not replaced by it.
Congrats on your build.

I've also built a camera, with the BGA/sensor mounted directly on my board, with good old CHMT36VA. With a double-sided PCB this was pushing the limits of both OSHPark manufacturing process and PCB/chip alignment during pick & place. Initially my yield was around 50% :-/

And the sunlight issues were instant and horrible problem. Unlike your aluminum casing, initially, my was SLA printed - transparent across the spectrum. Including the camera box. Regardless of what I've tried (for example, two layers - metallic coating and pure black paint that telescope enthusiast are using), I couldn't get rid of some level of sunlight effects.

Regretfully, had to shelf this project :-/. AI started exploding and playing with camera designs suddenly became less of a focus.
It's a NOBUS (Nobody But Us can use it) attack. The choice to use a private key means it's possible that even the person who submitted the tampered code doesn't have the private key, only some other entity controlling them does.

I've worked on a lot of very large Kubernetes projects and none used sidecars widely.

macOS is a fair candidate. Second hand Mac can be cheap, esp Intel-based. Hackintosh / VM is also a candidate.

Many of the issues with Upwork came well before AI posting:

- thinking they can get Facebook built for $300 and/or sticker shock when they select "US only" freelancers

- being overwhelmed with low-quality/spammy responses (agencies copy-and-pasting, etc)

- frustration with communication barriers (whether language or time zone)

- the need to pre-pay $X to hire someone
Yeah, but how exactly are they passed to those commands? I don't see/understand that part. I don't see the "take this file here" part.

I would think AI helps graphic design jobs as it take a graphic designer to properly use AI and it just speeds them up. In that you still need photoshop skills to pick resolutions, palettes, final touchups, etc etc. So graphic designers will be able to do jobs faster and more frequently.

Just like I expect that AI won’t eliminate programmers, just make them more productive. I mean someone still has to tell ChatGPT what to program and test it and it’s not like the project manager will be able to do this. It reminds me of when “easier” programming languages like ColdFusion and ASP made web apps easier, it didn’t eliminate jobs but created more.
I live in NZ. We have a rapidly growing population with one of the highest levels of immigration in the world.

From late 2021 mortgage rates went from as low as 2.5% up to around 7%. Subsequently, in my city, prices quickly dropped 20% and both the number of properties available for sale and for rent increased by as much as 50%. Where did those properties come from? In my opinion the increase is representative of the underlying existence of underutilised properties that are a result of excessive investment demand that has now fallen dramatically.

I am firmly of the belief that a property boom can cause an increase in the proportion of underutilised properties even in the face of growing demand for homes - especially now that short term rental markets are playing a bigger part.

None of it was a housing bubble, it was all a debt/house as an ATM bubble (intentional policy.)

And its a very long way from finishing bursting yet.
If Canada took in half the number of immigrants it does it would still have one of the largest rates in the world. We are massive outlier for how many we are taking in and all sorts of things aren't keeping up with the demand. The biggest two are home building rates and the health care sector but there are other problems as well.
It was never about no-schema it was about schema-on-read.

And it came about because companies were wasting millions doing pointless up front schema design for data that were never queried. As well as the ongoing challenge of trying to keep schemas up to date for systems they don't control e.g. SaaS.
To me this a huge signal that a regex was not the correct approach and that AI just steered you directly into (or passed) Kernighan's Law.

> Historically nothing sets up a country better for future success than lots of immigrants

Ummm citations needed urgently. I would point out, immigration policy vs anyone without a passport is welcome are two complete scenarios that the only thing in common is that outsiders are coming in.

Unchecked immigration policy as a good thing is a myth. People from clashing cultures dont mix naturally. Only results are natural ghetos and cultural clashes.

Allowing undocumented people in without any due diligence, only advertises that undesirables from other countries can escape, or being dumped by more crafty foreign leaders.

The immigration as a positive is strictly related to being the cause for brain-drain effect. You want intelligent hardworking people in, not just anyone.

Also its better if people you are attracting are of similar heritage with similar values and culture. As those people assimilate to host cultures within a generation or two.

The european countries don't really have distinctive minorities from their neighbors. The inter-eu immigrants withing generation or two basically become a host country citizens.

I would point to Sweden and their current problems, also to the change of mind of the pro-unchecked immigration politicians. Who now are openly and publicly stating they were wrong.

As a de facto maintainer of an obscure open source game, I see devs come and go. I just merge all the worthwhile contributions. Some collaborators go pretty deep with their features, with a variety of coding styles, in a mishmash of C and C++. I'm not always across the implementation details, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking, man, anyone could just code up some real nasty backdoor and the project would be screwed. Lucky the game is so obscure and the attack surface minuscule, but it did stop me from any temptation to sign Windows binaries out of any sense of munificence.

This xz backdoor is just the most massive nightmare, and I really feel for the og devs, and anyone who got sucked in by this.
