That's basically how driving was sold to the American public in the 1950s. The reality is that transportation is a network, and driving is only efficient for the individual driver at a relatively low level of density. The bigger the population and the more people who drive, the less efficient the network. If you try to keep the network efficient, then driving acts as a constraint on the rest of societal development and you end up with sprawl and long transit times. Driving doesn't scale beyond a certain point (as you know, by suggesting expensive tunnels).

As for the freedom aspect, to get anywhere in an American suburb-styled society you are required to own and maintain a car, a major personal expense. When you travel somewhere, you have to find a place to safely park your car, and your person is tethered to where you park your car, usually needing to return there in a reasonable amount of time the same day, or else paying for long-term parking. You have to have a license from the government to use the only practical source of transportation, and if you don't have that license, you are effectively shut off from any autonomy. Cars certainly do increase the freedom to move and experience the world in some ways, but that is at the cost of other freedoms.
Sure your license plate number is public, but selling the geolocation history of said license plate may cross a legal boundary. (Or it may not, but it certainly should.)

I'm looking for backend or full-stack opportunities. I love to learn new skills and improve at current ones, tech or otherwise! Recently, I helped built Pinniped, an open-source BaaS intended for JavaScript engineers. It was a lot of fun to work on and I got to dig into some the quirks of SQLite as well as learn about creating dynamic APIs.

Shoot me an email or LinkedIn message if you're interested in chatting!
Time on the bike or walking is time spent improving health and well being. Time on the train can be productive, relaxing or entertaining. There is an enormous difference between these and the stress of driving.
BDSM people (hopefully) willingly choose to have that experience.
You don’t remember the weekly political bombings from the 70s?
Some of our books in UK school in the 1980s listed 10^12 as a billion. That doesn't mean it wasn't officially changed in the early C20th though.
internet banking...you dont really want automatic withdrawals from the utilities, what you gain in convenience you lose down the line when you want to cancel it
I couldn't care less what the conservatives think. Their blatantly fake support of freedom of speech was always conditional and self-serving.
QBASIC and the printouts I could get of fanzines or Pete's QB Site kept me engaged in programming throughout middle school. I moved ok to VB 5/6 in high school and began my career making all kinds of small apps and utilities for people and companies.
I still have no idea what you're talking about.

Cloudflare is either passing traffic through without touching it, or as a proxy is doing tls termination, as they're a trusted CA in most devices/browsers/OSs/etc.

None of this really has anything to do with that's happening with OP.
I never really got the outrage. Or rather, I don't understand why it's directed at the principle of a ring-0 anticheat.

I feel that security minded folks are apt to avoid installing software from notably untrusted vendors on important machines. If Riot ends up malicious then I'm not sure that kernel level access is capable of _that_ much more damage than what's required for a 'regular' anticheat to function. My bank account is unsafe either way. Obviously less access is better, but it feels like discussion around Vanguard always distills into an argument that would also suggest Riot's software to be untrustworthy even without a ring-0 anticheat.
The TV series "Silicon Valley" does not disappoint.
That's my point. Sometimes the best way to fix bad culture is to start from scratch.
Qt5 is in maintenance mode. Qt6 has long been released.
Highly recommend reading or listening to The Goal. The audiobook feels like a cheesy training video, but sort of in a good way, and the concepts are extremely useful. Plus, you learn the language it is more likely your business counterparts know, as opposed to talking about backpressure or queuing theory, which they may not connect with.

I use the concepts from this book all the time at work to justify a prioritized backlog and defend against a lot of work in process.
Let's see my BE language progression went from...

Apple Logo->Commodore BASIC->Fortran->Pascal->PHP->Java->VB6->.NET...and other modern things.

...With scripts of various types mixed in there. But BASIC is what got me hooked. Being able to write my own games on the Commodore 128 was fantastically addicting. Leaving demo store Commodore's flashing background colors with POKE 53281 and looping around felt like I was the king of the world.

I can call my insurance agent and take a vehicle (seldom-used winter beater truck in the summer, or seldom-used summer car in the winter) on or off the road at a whim, prorating my premium appropriately.

That sucks for usability, but I wonder if there exists a market for 'smart insurance' where I can log into a webpage or use an app to put it on or off a car.

But the real answer, I think, is getting a quote for your actual mileage. You're driving 7000 miles a year and being lumped into a risk group with people who are driving two or three times as much:

Unfortunately, I've found that mileage doesn't have a big impact on my premiums.

We can also expand what is considered a crime too. Without the cameras, cost/benefit just makes it impossible to enforce some tyrannical edicts, but if we all live in a fishbowl monitored by computers whose machine learning can flag nearly any activity, wow, just think of the possibilities. We don't even need to formally punish these, some interest group will just call up your employers and suggest very strongly that it would embarrass them deeply if they continued to employ you.
I don't see shite! Merely a bunch of red dots.
Central planning is bad and ineffective, and the US has incredible amounts of central planning.

The administrative state has never been larger, and the federal government that controls it has never deployed and hoarded more power and money.
The statement "By enforcing crimes more consistently, we can actually reduce incarceration" sounds logical and reasonable, but actually isn't necessarily true unless A and B below are also true.

A. Actions that are considered crimes do not change over time.

B. Incentives to catch and prosecute crimes are not KPIed based on incarceration rates.
Does this do more than send the text to ChatGPT concatenated with a prompt like "fact check this essay, putting your notes between brackets"?

You need to get a technician out to adjust the dish with GEO. With starlink, you just plop it on the ground somewhere.
You haven’t even read the first paragraph of the article. It still remains controlled substance, lol
Stupidly simple invoicing should be easier than this. probably invoice dragon is closest to that. What you should focus on as an additional layer to stupid is database and recordkeeping. "save an invoice" -> 'list of saved invoices" -> "database of invoice, order, product, customer, [etc]".

And use logins for storing this data online, with customer info, and product info. Offer fancy templates under paywall. Offer (monthly) reports under paywall. Offer data retention under paywall.

Almost there :)
Fine-Tuning Llama3 on 1 RTX 3060
It's actually pretty crazy that when I walk to work I illegally search and seize everyone I lay my eyes on. So far I've gotten away with it every day. Sometimes I even do it at work. Illegally searched and seized my coworker's cat the other day, but he just illegally searched and seized me and then meowed.
> And while the last layoffs were distasteful enough, continued layoffs have even worse optics, given Tesla’s move to ask shareholders for a $55 billion payout for its CEO just days after firing 14,000 people. That $55 billion could pay for 40 years worth of six-figure salaries for those employees.

Ok, I'm interested in the rebuttals from the "Elon knows better than you, as measured by his net worth" perspective. It might be really clever business, or it might be a spasm. Is this just an HR maneuver to weed out the less-than-fully-committed?
One of the major problems with take home tests is the rampant cheating.

It's been a long time since I've been on the job market - but even a decade ago, I had third-party recruiters who would forward me a take home test... and another successful candidate's solution, "for reference".

And even if candidate doesn't get external help, I'm extremely sceptical about time limits. Nothing stops someone spending 6 hours on a "2 hour" take home test, producing a better solution than someone who followed the time limit strictly.

It's pretty hard to extract a signal under such circumstances. Unless you're hiring for a job where a willingness to bend the rules to get results is desirable - used car sales, for example.
Thanks for noticing!

Just fixed this and on mobile version as well
According to Wikipedia/Forbes [1], the number of billionaires in USD is 2,781 globally so they know this proposal has no negative political impact (and obviously it is easy to say that the public overwhelmingly supports this since it essentially concerns no-one) but it is really only posturing, with a dose of ideology and demagogy (it's to fight poverty! Many other quotes from the article are also rather scary), because this is neither needed nor effective for the stated aims. This would most likely also only benefit already rich countries, not the poorest ones, because that's where billionaires live.

> Increased the training set from 1000 to 100k samples. This solved overfitting.

Solved over fitting or created more? Even if your sets are completely disjoint with something like two moons the more data you have the lower the variance.
> if every single person took every single action to reduce their carbon footprint they possibly could, the global economy would simply collapse

This is very hard to believe, and makes the reader believe you think economic systems and societies are a bunch of discrete and discontinuous processes. Their efforts, just by taking inertia into account and limited ability for people to change their behavior immediately would send signals progressively to businesses and governments, allowing a good chunk of the system to adapt over decades. A lot of businesses would definitely go bankrupt, but generally econ people are aware of that and think it's a natural process (Schumpeter isn't new).

What you I mostly see in econ circles is just standard pigouvian discourse I believe, nothing too scary: if externalities aren't priced, people have no "real time" incentive to change behavior.
That's because you're intentionally missing the first point where I said that's under a different treaty. Probably because you aren't actually interested in learning the complexity of international drug laws, but simply buying into political nonsense.

Edit: It makes sense you think I'm being hostile by pointing out facts since that's what you took issue with to begin with.
Presence of gas on exoplanet 'only produced by life'
There are a host of smart reasons for this, like moving to franchising or a deal with an oil/gas/infrastructure company more suited for low innovation work. NACS is a solved problem, its simple a roll out issue and likely not work Tesla needs to be doing anymore.
My biggest problem with the road itself is that it's installed on public land and paid for with tax dollars.
I seem to remember some pretty serious (as in actual paid) programs written in QuickBASIC - the compiled version of QBASIC.

Lots and lots of 'business middleware' was written in various forms of BASIC, the most famous being VBA, but also quite a bit in things like QuickBASIC in an older period.

https://qb64.com keeps the dream alive.
A significant part of my job (sysadmin) has always involved running 3rd-party daemons on the company's servers to provide assorted services. It's semi-common for these services to throw deprecation warnings on startup like "you ran this service as fooservice --db-backend=sqlite --db-path=/var/lib/fooservice/db.sqlite; please be aware that sqlite support will be removed in version 9.0 next year". In a perfect world we'd catch that kind of thing by reading release notes, but 1. release notes don't always get read, 2. release notes don't always spell these things out as well as they should, and 3. release notes don't know what options you're actually using, so it can be way easier for the program to throw a warning when it sees you actually using deprecated functionality.
Agreed - I used to be a Hughesnet customer before switching to Starlink. It's genuinely incomprehensible how slow satellite internet is for the price; stuff like Starlink is a long-overdue kick in the pants to these satellite providers.

Say what you will about Elon et. al, it's probably true. But Starlink is a killer tool for people that live where Comcast and AT&T refuse to build lines. It's a much better deal (infinite bandwidth versus metered) and a no-brainer for anyone that's still paying for expensive, stodgy satnet.
Almost everyone's support of freedom of speech and any freedom is conditional and self serving, that's just human nature. Why are you going out of your way to only complain about the "illiberal left?"
Cool app. For the dumbbell exercises could it recommend weight?
C++ has long surpassed the point where mere mortals like me can understand it; It's so loaded with baggage, footguns, and inscrutable standards language that honestly I think the only thing keeping it going is institutional inertia and "backwards compatbility" (air quotes).

I work extensively in the embedded space and unfortunately C and C++ are still pretty much the only viable languages. I can not wait until the day rust or some other language finally supplants them.
Spruce | https://spruce.eco | Full Stack Developer | London/Bristol based | Hybrid (UK only) | Full Time

We’re on the hunt for a phenomenal Full Stack Developer who’s pumped to help drive the transition away from fossil fuel heating in homes.

We need to replace every gas and oil boiler with a heat pump if we’re to reach Net Zero by 2050. But the current installation process is slow, manual, and inefficient; creating a shortage of installers, driving up costs, and frustrating homeowners.

We're fixing this. We’re building an operating system for heat pump installers, helping to speed up their inefficient processes, boosting their profitability, and ultimately attracting new installers to the market.

We’re currently a team of 6, split between London and Bristol. We like to spend at least 1 day each week working together in-person.

We’ve made exceptionally quick progress over the past few months, but we’re only just scratching the surface of the opportunity ahead.

Interested? You can see more about the role here: https://spruce-energy.notion.site/Full-Stack-Developer-2f110...
> The entire point of a license plate is that it's publicly readable

Sure. By eyeballs.

But when you install technology that makes the license plate a tracking device where they can map out your movements minute by minute as if you had some radio beacon hidden under the bumper, they're not "publicly reading" it. Why would the radio beacon be illegal without a warrant, but this be legal without it? They accomplish the same.
No, TMDB doesn't have deeplinks to the providers, but based on the requests the site is doing it's most likely https://www.movieofthenight.com/about/api as it's hotlinking the provider icons from there.
I'd say the same for the reverse. Except that has been the history of office work for generations except we have the technology and economy where that isn't required.
Because no one wants to pay for apps?
Gotta say, I was not expecting Baz there.

Regarding [1], for the dice roll I was creating a new chat for each roll to ensure that the results of each roll are (in some sense) independent. Generating a sequence of rolls is also interesting, just a different experiment.
I completely agree that the UX for toolbar customization currently sucks, but that's exactly what LLMs are being proposed as a replacement for.

When the UX is not a barrier, people love customizing their devices! My collogues of all abilities use different Outlook themes, and everybody's mother and their dog have changed their backgrounds and ringtones.
The BASIC version that run BBC Micro had proper functions and subroutines with local variables (I think it even had recursion, but I'm not 100% sure).

AFAIK, all Microsoft BASIC (of which AppleSoft BASIC was a descendent) versions did not have the above until QBasic.
While in general the argument may hold that life evolved too fast, your numbers are off. 100 million years is just about the minimum estimate for the emergence of life on Earth. If Mars has a longer timeline it should be closer to 1 billion years between solidification and emergence of life.
Microsoft's billion-dollar OpenAI investment was trigged by Google fears
> Obviously the real answer is "AI doesn't understand what 'Jesus' or 'feet' actually mean."

But in the article, it clearly generates images of "Jesus" receiving a foot-washing, but not images where Jesus is doing the washing of someone else's feet.

So it understands "Jesus" and "feet" and "wash" just fine, but it won't assemble them in the way that the author is requesting.

The author's question is -- why not?
Yes please. I had to close the page immediately or it must have woken up my kid in other room.
I guess an option is going into management, no take homes, DS&A groking, etc.

For me personally I prefer it to live coding as I can actually think because there's no stress but usually the "1-2h task" in reality is 8h if you want it done properly (good code, documentation, tests, project & build setup, etc.). If the job isn't top tier it is simply not worth it, at least in the previous market.

Still beats memorizing the optimal algorithms to LC questions.
We started doing it again after a pause 10+ years ago. Back then, it appeared some payment systems had some bugs where they wouldn't always pay on time, or would double pay, so we stopped. However, now the physical mail infrastructure is prone to delays/failures, we're moving back to autopay.

Some places give the option to autopay via credit card, if you are hesitant to use a bank account. I know some people open a special checking account solely for autopay, and just make sure it has enough funds every month. It could limit exposure to other accounts.
