Which is why regulation is necessary in my opinion.

I also buy the cheapest plane ticket I can find when going somewhere because I know it will suck, I'll get shafted, and I'll regret my decision no matter what. I can't tell if paying for the more expensive tickets (within the same fare bucket) will result in any improvement or just throwing the extra money out of the window because I'll get the same experience as the cheapest one so I go for the cheapest.

In these cases, the market cannot regulate itself IMHO. It's a race to the bottom and if there is no legislation to compel actors to a minimal set of rules/conditions then we end up where we are with air travel now: it sucks more and more.
Anecdata but I went with the process once with Lufthansa (EU internal flight) and once with Delta (flight from EU to US) and in both cases got my 300/600e compensation in a few days via a bank transfer, no questions asked, no 3p company needed. I just sent an email with flight data and my personal data.
There is always a difference between marketing material and actual value propositions.

People don't use AirBnB because they can "Belong anywhere".

They often use it because it's cheaper than hotels. But you seldom find that in marketing material.
Of course, it's extremely subjective, but how about naming a few artists who have appeared in the last few years that you think make better music and are more talented musicians than those who came before?

I agree, except with the “simply” part. This is not simple at all, unless you also demand that every property can only ever be a string. Otherwise, you need to think of conversions (eg from and to numbers), and what about properties that can be set to objects? Or properies that don’t correspond to attributes at all?

I agree that any sort of convention/rule here that’d be 100% fixed would’ve been better, but it wouldn’t be simple.
Don't get me even started on TalkBack and Android. It was never on-par with VoiceOver, and is still a few years behind... However, VoiceOver is also getting slowly, but surely, worse and worse over time when it comes to small subtle bugs...
The unstated underlying assumption that only a commercially constructed popular zeitgeist qualifies as “new” for self-discovery purposes is corporate lickspittle fawning at its most conceited.

The author also appears to trip over the ecological fallacy in responding to population results as though they apply to themselves the individual. They do not. This is broad information of interest to anthropologists and marketing droids, it doesn’t define or describe a person.
I wish there was a music service that actually provided recommendations based on features of the track itself, like similar chords, tempo, rhythmic composition, emotional tone, etc.

Instead it all seems to be variations on "people who liked this also like", which--while obviously easier to code--is rather disappointing compared to what I thought we'd have by now.
What the presenter here chimes absolutely with my recent/ongoing experience. I've interviewed for a mix of permanent and contractor positions where supposedly everything has gone well with interviews but there's some BS or other, including:

- Position withdrawn midway through interviews

- Position withdrawn after final interview

- Rejected on a minor skill component when employer has re-advertised this and several similar/associated positions repeatedly each week since

- Repeated requests for 'one more interview' (did one, they decided they didn't need another) . Got 'verbal confirmation they want to take you' and told that 'everyone in the company at every level says they want to go ahead' but mysteriously they somehow haven't been able to commit that to writing.

Matches ChatGPT summary of transcript for this video:

To recognize signs of fake job postings, the presenter advises looking out for certain red flags, such as:

- *Vague Job Descriptions*: If the job description lacks detail or is unclear about the responsibilities and requirements, it might be a ghost job.

- *Repeated Postings*: If you notice the same job posting recurring over several months or even years without apparent updates, it could indicate that the role is not intended to be filled.

- *No Response or Ghosting*: If you apply and even proceed through several rounds of interviews, only to be ghosted or told the position is no longer available, this could be a sign of a fake posting.

- *Prolonged Hiring Process*: Companies that keep stringing along candidates without clear timelines for hiring or giving vague excuses might be using ghost job tactics.

The presenter advises job seekers to be cautious and not take rejection personally, as these practices are often due to the company's strategies, not because of the candidate's qualifications. Ultimately, these signs help job seekers avoid companies that might be toxic or engage in unethical practices.
Thank you for your reply. For the first point, I agree. When I was doing my experiments with single file Django I was thinking of combining few simple, single purpose apps into one regular Django project. This project would serve as an actual site for people to use with its own templates, but hopefully not that much custom code. With ASGI coming along (this was 2019 I think) I even tried to combine these app pieces under one ASGI server. Sadly I run into some trouble with server tooling.

In regards to nanodjango I shall take a look. Also, need to read the rest of your articles. Thank you for writing them! I’d still like to experiment with the idea of small, independent, pluggable apps. Perhaps Django can be coaxed to this now.

It's been confirmed in independent audits, and our code and cryptography are open-source, so they can be inspected (https://proton.me/community/open-source). It's also been confirmed in court, as we were never able to provide any of our users' email content to the law enforcement (when presented with legal data requests that we have no grounds to contest). Basically, we protect users' data by having no access to it.

Your encryption keys are encrypted with your password (which we don't have access to), so we cannot access or use your keys. Therefore, the server doesn't in fact have access to your private encryption key. Once the files are encrypted with the user’s public encryption key they are no longer accessible to the server or the server’s owner: https://proton.me/blog/zero-access-encryption.

Not as easy. Unless they can claim weather related issues or force majeur (bomb threat, security issues etc..) they can't do that.

DoD wants a high level of confidence that your company will still be around and delivering the exact same product to the exact same specs 20 years from now. It's why startups are basically never the primes on defense acquisitions.
Invariants need to be encoded one way or another anyway, you can't escape that. If your type system is not sophisticated enough this gets tedious and awkward to do in the type system, so it's easier to do in (dynamic) code. But dependent types simplify this, they make it much easier to express yourself in types compared to, say, all the various fancy extensions to System F. Computing types becomes just like computing terms.

That said, there is a vast design space between Javascript/Python and dependent types. Plain old ADT suffice in 95% of cases, yet the only mainstream language with ADTs is Rust. This is a shame.
Hard agree. I have really tried to make sure I spend most of my time reading high quality material these days. I realised my brain being saturated with a lot of drivel was actually having a notable impact on me. Much more than I expected.
> Right, and once I have a verified OrgId, I'll just keep using the `myOrgId` variable throughout my code, and I don't really need branding. Maybe I can do type aliasing to make the code easier to read (type OrgId = string), but hardline type verification via branding seems moot unless you can make strong runtime guarantees. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think it's a cute novelty, but it doesn't really do anything.

I would rather put that information in the type system than in the variable name.

It prevents passing the wrong variable, is that not useful?

> Exactly.

I don't see how what I said agrees with what you said. Making it not an OrgId prevents the weird blowups.

A compilation error because you used the wrong type is not a blowup, it's preventing random blowups.

And you shouldn't be shuffling digits using string code, that's the point. If you have a way to transmute OrgIds, it should be a function that returns an OrgId.

I'd question whether people even need to know OrgId is a string.

Same here. And my ophthalmologist explained to me that the moment you start wearing glasses, your eyes stop making an effort to correct the blur (because the glasses are doing that for them) so the muscles involved in correcting vision become weaker overtime. According to him, the best course of action once myopia begins is to not wear glasses and try to correct it with other techniques.

Wait until you find out that token ring networks have a minimum cable length between stations, dictated by the length of the token (24 bits).
This makes me sad, not because I disagree with it, but because it's basically common wisdom in the statistical and ML communities (of practitioners). In my experience, the only people who think architecture/model choice makes a huge difference are n00bs and academics.

That being said, definitely if you use a linear model (like lasso) vs a tree based model (like XGBoost), you'll see differences, but once you have a flexible enough model and a lot of data, training time and inference complexity tend to become better ways to make a model choice.

I am well aware of the stigma behind AI and empathy, but a recent study showed that LLMs are starting to provide better emotional support than most humans. I know these are crazy times.

Look, I understand your points and am well aware of the thin line that the product must thread, but this is the product's mission: to educate people on the roles AI can have, and the main goal is to talk out loud your thoughts.

The most important thing is to take steps towards becoming self-aware of our thoughts by speaking out loud: This is what is meant to be, this is what is presented, nothing more.

I will revise the copyright to make this clearer.

Not from US so I had to check the 1A:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

"or of the press" sounds like it applies here but does 1A covers also foreign companies?

the emerson quote just hits so hard and true
I don't know much about the market in Australia, but I imagine that this person is running into something I ran into myself. That tech jobs agglomerate in a few specific locations and the farther away you are from them the more clueless people are about tech (ie more clueless business people in charge and more faceless megacorps with drone-like employees).

Usually any given country will have one big spot for tech and in some countries even there will be a bit crappy. My guess is that Melbourne is not a very good spot.

Do you rather read a tutorial or watch a YouTube video?

Personally, I find reading is a much more interactive activity. You can seek, you can skip, you can summarize, you can repeat. Innoway, it is much closer and deeper than a conversation with another person. And definitely much closer than a video audio recording of that person, which is more like a speech than a conversation.

Again, neglible. If you keep YouTube screensaver on for 3 hours/day you're looking at $1-2/month

If you use an app role you can define policies that limit the usage of said app role to specific ip addresses, ec2 instance ids etc so that even if someone steals the key it will be useless unless they somehow root the server hosting your application (and if they do that they're getting the secret no matter what)

Even with a regular token the benefit is that if it is leaked (say, by a git commit etc) this by itself doesn't grant you access to the actual secret because it is stored in vault, and you'd need to have connectivity to the vault server(s) to make use of it.
Good point, but HTML already has a workaround by using strings:

<div onClick="func()">...</div>

Now, I'm not a JS developer, so my opinion shouldn't count for much, but that looks like a much less usable standard to me.
Maybe you have a different definition of free will.

But to me those examples are just knowledge.
Regardless of how many possible options, the process of making the choice would be free will, if it existed.
That only works if your language is value-oriented, but most existing languages use references and mutation extensively.

I use a blank paper sheet as bookmark and carry a pen, so that I write down important notes from the book content on the bookmark. Afterwards the book is - ideally and dependent on the content - condensed to one sheet, that I can refer to later. It also helps with retaining the content.

Your concern about the long form or simplistic style of AI text is valid, but I feel that it was warranted here. The conflation between marxian theory and failed communist states requires some subtlety to unpack, and without AI help, I would struggle to find the effort to do it justice. The text is intentionally a little simpler and expanded to make it easy to read.

As it stands, the text is comprehensive, truthful, informative, and attacks the issue at hand in a fair way.

I am happy with it.

I propose AI walls of text are bad form when they contain hallucinations and bad arguments, and are needlessly long and bungling. I hear your criticism that it was too verbose, but again, I feel that was necessary.

I propose that it's good enough.

Good day and good luck scaling artificial walls of text.

AG at CJEU: Facebook must "minimize" personal data for ads in EU

The selection in these channels was the tribe back then. They were the "bottleneck" of pop culture.

From around 2000 with broadband etc, "payola" (broadcasters being coerced by record companies to play their flagship songs "in heavy rotation") is less and less effective.

As a consequence, I think the "current fashion" of music seems less defined.

> It has become standard to describe A.I. as a tool. I argue that this framing is incorrect. It does not aid in the completion of a task. It completes the task for you.

A modern camera automates a lot of tasks that were manual for older cameras, which in turn automate a lot of tasks that would be involved painting the scene by hand.

Sometimes it's useful to work at the higher level allowed by automation, and sometimes it's useful to have fine-grained creative control. These aren't mutually exclusive - you can/should mix approaches where appropriate.

I think the author sees "AI" as solely "a button one can push that spits out images", which can be the case, but there's also image-to-image, ControlNets/T2I adapters, LoRAs, inpainting, etc. A lot of generative AI image creation workflows involve an initial solid-color sketch followed by image-to-image refining with a low diffusion strength, which allows exerting an arbitrary level of control.
Fr people who believe fiction is useless have a very shallow view of life. Fiction is about the human condition.
I would make a distinction between YouTube videos and a video, the format itself. YouTube videos tend to be even worse than reading when it comes to information access and retention. Videos, the format, on the other hand have the potential to be significantly more memorable than text, when you consider the fact that a video is a combination of images and audio. I am not familiar with research done on video, but there is a ton of research showing that images help memory considerably (the “picture superiority effect.”)

Which is a long way of saying that memory-optimized video content would be very different from YouTube videos.

We were 5 people (3 different reservations) traveling from EU to Japan for a ski vacation. Our first flight got canceled due to technical issues with the airplane and we could not get another flight to reach the transfer from Istanbul to Tokyo. We had to get a new flight that delayed our arrival date by 1 day. The worst thing is that they didn't rescheduled our domestic flight from Tokyo to Sapporo.

We went to the check-in for our flight to Sapporo and the staff told us that our flight was actually yesterday... Not wanting to waste another minute with Turkish Airlines support I opened my laptop and got us a new flight and luckily there was a flight in 2 hours.

As our flight was flying off from EU we were covered by the EU rights and all of us got full compensation for the delay - 600 Euro (420 at the end as we used 3rd party to handle it).

Now I'm trying to get full reimbursement for the flight from Tokyo to Sapporo as I payed for it out of pocket. They are arguing that each of us should have an individual invoice and we should have not bought group tickets. For this reason I would highly recommend to use 3rd party (they take between 25-30% commission) just not to deal with airline BS.

If you run Docker in Swarm mode instead (docker stack deploy instead of docker compose up), then you can make use of Swarm secrets. You don't have to make full use of Swarm; it can be a single node with a single instance of the service(s). As I manage the host with Ansible, I'm able to use Ansible's Docker module with a play to communicate the current secrets to Swarm, so that they are available to the services. On the Ansible side, the secrets are encrypted at rest using ansible-vault.
