IMHO, Farming is the ideal switch for a techie. Technically, you are switching from the likes of Matrix to speaking to animals.

Another activity that I believe would bring more joy than 99% of jobs, if not all, is charity.
If paying for something deanonymizes me, as a Google Play purchase would, then it isn't fulfilling the privacy part of the deal at all.

More importantly, if privacy centric apps raise the barrier for entry to include licensing fees, then most people are going to choose the "free" alternatives that get paid for by selling their metadata. If you actually care about protecting users' privacy, you should avoid gatekeeping the technology behind a paywall.

There are plenty of Free (as in beer + as in freedom) period trackers out there that I would be happy to donate time and money to help develop. The closed-source for-profit version that demands that I disclose my identity to Google before I get started is dead-in-the water, having failed to be suitable for any purpose than making the developer a bit of cash while pretending to care about women's privacy in a world that wants to imprison them for a miscarriage.
Well yeah. But thats why the premise makes no sense. At this point weed is as culturally acceptable as anything else as far as I can tell. And I travel a lot, that's true in Texas and NYC and wherever else.

If a study concludes that x/y bankruptcies are caused by z but makes no assertion of the total number of bankruptcies, I would be very suspicious that the author was forwarding his agenda via a weird counting methodology.

No. It's not. Pushing down car ownership might be good, but not based on wealth. Priority should go to elderly, people with disabilities, people with kids, etc.

Even so, the goal shouldn't be fewer cars but less miles driven.

The kind of antagonistic approach you prescribe rarely leads to good policy.

AI Is Doomed to Fail the Musical Turing Test [video]
I live here. I’m talking about what I see everyday…a culture that celebrates corruption and buffoonery over long-term thinking and good leadership.

But foreigners always want to tell me the problem is colonialism. Thanks for their patronage, but that doesn’t make it true.
Tesla’s current valuation is pretty much thanks to him. His personality meme stocked the company to a valuation that made no sense.
It's not the best solution, but an analyzer like [0] covers most of the cases for reference types. For enums and struct DUs in general we'll have to wait for language (or even runtime) support.

Article says,

> Unsurprisingly, automakers are unsure whether this is possible

I'm in the same camp. I don't think technology will become mature enough in the stated timeline to make sure this is actually possible without creating a huge ton of false positive triggers (phantom braking).
Impressed by the opportunity and execution of this.
> In all honesty, tech people in EE show up to the office at 11 and take a legit one hour plus lunch break to eat proper food at the restaurant together.

Ah yes, the "work hard and the boss will notice" meme.

I have zero incentive to work hard.

1. My salary is mostly tied to the market as a whole and particular company's performance, personal performance is the smallest bit of the equation.

2. Changing a variable from true to false on the personal request of someone very important will give me far more visibility than spending nights doing some work that only one other person is vaguely aware of, even if that work is super important. And visibility means chances for promotion.

3. Most companies are inherently undemocratic and employees have no input on decision making, therefore why would they care.

4. Most companies have proven that they're not afraid of screwing over their employees given the opportunity, so why wouldn't it work the other way around too.

5. In most cases, the reward for completing work early is more work. The punishment for being lazy is having free time.

I'm sorry but that's the corporate reality. I'd love to be a part of a team that works hard together to achieve great things, but that's not how the world works.

Being able to come to the office three hours late and leave two hours early without anyone complaining loud enough to get me fired is a much bigger job perk than Pizza Fridays.

Laws to make cars smaller and drive slower will do 100x more to make crashes less deadly than fancy electronic gizmos.

Not to mention all these electronics make the car much more expensive and harder to repair.
in some other systems the concept has become overloaded. instead of multiple real people as users, different software with different permissions are different users. its not a bad abstraction.
It can enhance it though. I can draw my own painting ask my local ai to fill in the gaps or to upscale it a bit etc. Is the art part gone then?

It has only ever been available in battle mode. If you do the battle enough you will probably get it eventually. I believe it is still there but doesn’t come up often, it used to be more frequent. (Battle mode is not uniformly random, some models are weighted to compete more often than others.)
I like the terseness of it but having to refactor just because I change visibility is a bit stupid.

I never wrote ObjC but didn’t they use + and - (and nothing) as visibility modifiers?
For context also that's 130 million euro. Not that bad actually.
Developing a bad reputation is like sunburn. It doesn't turn into cancer instantly, but it slowly accumulates damage over time. Right now a top worker (particularly in a critical field like AI) has a lot of choices, and the company that gets a reputation for randomly firing entire teams is going to be a harder sell.
Robot Dog Sees Me
Funny how dominant languages of the past have died but now the lingua angla feels forever. I wonder if that's how it feels to be at the height of some culture's age: it feels immortal. Then it falls and is only remembered as the past: either as humorous, or as sophisticated, but not meant for normal use. We shall cement this one by creating AIs in the American image.
Oh interesting. Does it appear on your end as a cash advance when using a credit card?
Do they need to have benefits? Whether they are beneficial or not people are using drugs like MDMA. Making them illegal has only caused harm.

It was just such an eye-poppingly bad analogy that I felt I had to chime in.

Also, you seemed perplexed at where the term "colonization" fits in. Well, the post-1948 situation in Jaffa (and certain other places I'm sure you know all about as well) arguably fits the dictionary definition of the term by any objective measure (give or take some fine-grained nuances we really don't need to litigate).

Before you picked this scab,

I'd go on perhaps, but with that statement I can't say I appreciate your tone. Be civil to me and I'll be civil with you, if you wish.
I agree, Python is a pretty bad choice for all the reasons you mentioned.

That said I think there are precious few good alternatives. I've been using Deno a fair bit for "scripting" and it works pretty well, but I wish there were more options.

Also I have to say if you are using a tool like this to manage thousands of machines you're absolutely doing it wrong. I don't even work in ops/infra but even I know that manually running commands on multiple machines via SSH is asking for trouble.

What does that matter? You can convert Bitcoin into cash. But then you can do that in an undisclosed location at your leisure instead of keeping a mountain of cash in your publicly advertised storefront location and becoming a huge robbery target.

Also, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to find someone to accept it as payment, since they can convert it to cash too. And the sort of landlords/suppliers/employees willing to do business with a dispensary seem like exactly the sort who would accept Bitcoin.
The difference is that most other ICU patients are there with an (albeit slim) chance of recovery. Their body just needs time to heal, and the ICU provides the support necessary to do that. 75% of ICU patients are discharged from the hospital alive, and those who die often do so within the first few weeks.

On the other hand, it seems some ECMO patients have zero chance of recovery. Their own organs have failed and aren't coming back, and a transplant doesn't seem to be an option. Sooner or later they will die in that room, most likely due to complications.
Oh I was quite surprised. I drive a Subaru Forester myself and thought it does quite well.
Since this means the system isn't required at freeway speeds, I'm curious if it's from some understanding that the possibility of phantom braking could cause more harm/pileups on the freeway?
You can obviously travel there and see all the Imperial palaces and gardens, swim the sea, visit the museums and have a really good time. In awesome weather, which is of short supply in what's left of mainland Russia.

On the other hand, the usefulness of cordial relations with EU/USA is debatable.

You could make a point that if Russia had good relations with Ukraine, Russians could travel there on their own by just crossing that border. However, Ukraine shown by their repeated maidan coups and anti-Russian rhetoric that they can't be relied upon.
The point of the analogy was to relate Jaffa and Tel Aviv to another comparable "Twin City". It wasn't to compare the history of the two cities. Again, my overarching point is: you're not going to ligate your way to a Jaffa that is part of a sovereign Palestine. It's simply not going to happen. Work on decolonizing Texas instead. You have a better chance. And a clearer moral argument!
Composition here just means what it does for any two functions: the value of the ‘composition’ of f and g at x is defined to be f applied to g applied to x. In symbols, its: f∘g := f(g(x)) for each x in the domain of f. It may seem obvious, but the fact that this new thing is also a function (that is, its value is well-defined for every input) is actually a very useful thing indeed and leads to… well, most of mathematics.

You can certainly do function composition in lambda calculus: in fact, the act of composition itself is a higher order function (takes functions and returns a function) and you can certainly express it formally with lambda terms and such. It’s not really got anything to do with any particular language or model of computation though.

FTC challenges junk patent listings for blockbuster prescription medications
context length doesn't unlock intelligence, just more information. e.g. adding info that wasn't part of training (or wasn't heavily weighted in training).

Funny that "always be selling" is a core principle of his art. I would describe him more of a businessman than artist. Maybe designer. But an artist does not care about money. The art comes first. Buyers must wait.
> These absolutely SUCK as answers to that question. They entirely miss the point. They provide a specific answer to a general problem.

No they don't. They are good answers. If you want answers to a more general problem, then ask. This is not an emotive topic.
It absolutely boggles my mind that this is such a controversial viewpoint. We're talking about a machine that can keep people not just alive, but awake, talking, and riding an exercise bike, without working lungs or a heart. It's an insane, miraculous treatment, and extremely strong evidence that death is something we can conquer. And people come along and just downvote comments like yours, with no explanation at all, because it's so deeply engrained in their brains they they and everyone they love simply must die, and everyone who believes otherwise must be naive and stupid. Because death is this magical, spiritual, special problem unlike any other problem humanity has ever faced: the one thing we will never be able to solve?

It absolutely is a dead-end, anti-growth mindset, and I don't understand it. Why is everyone so in love with death?

I appreciate that someone's invented shoes you inflate and snap. I can see some advantages.

That said, when I'm in a hurry and going to do a thing that I've been doing every day of my life, I'm really not a big fan of having to stop what I'm doing and reexamine a tool I've used all my life to figure out how to use it. I learned this stuff decades ago and I'm not anxious to relearn how to do it for a fractional improvement, and I'm not even really 100% sure that this new "inflate and snap" shoe model is actually an improvement, except for very specific use cases.
Makes sense (I keep one warm in a tmux, two shortcuts away at most, so it never occurred to me).
>I was just pointing at an aspect of how these devices are engineered.

And you pointed at the wrong thing. Apple isn't preventing you from running VMs on their M* iPhones to stop you from draining your battery too fast. Come on, don't act this naive.

>Showing that ARM is a viable computation platform?

If their motives were that charitable, and cared so much about the ARM platform, they would open up their M* platform to others to run whatever OS they want on it and provide OSS drivers, no keep it as locked as possible.

Good.

They patented inhalers for a second time. It's the exact same drug. The only thing that changed was the propellant. It went from R-12 to R-134a. Everyone who had to switch out R-12 from refrigeration to drug manufacturing switched to R-134a. There was absolutely _nothing_ novel about it.

It was _criminal_ to allow them the second patent for just the propellant change. It took generic $5 inhalers off the market and replaced them with $95 inhalers. It was was one of the most corrupt swindles I've ever personally seen.

It was supposed to be that way in the US but then populists decided they wanted the federal government to do all the things the constitution said it couldn't.
That’s funny, I did it your way for years and ended up considering it a big mistake.

Today I use idiomatic names - MyName in Go, myName in JS/JSON, my_name in SQL. There are many reasons but generally speaking, for me, it’s less effort and code is more readable.

Curious what your rationale is?
There is also Drools, another major Rete based open source rule engine. It is based on Java so its bit easier to work with for non-specialized developers, although it also inherits many downsides from Java too
Looking forward to a serving system that can actually use this!
Invoking excessive formality and discussions of minute technical details leads to a cathedral of knowledge built on autistic pedantry. The chosen rabbit hole to get lost in needs to be the correct one. And human science is riddled with the paths that have naive or childish fundamentals.
I'm pretty sure you are severely understimating the amount of work that goes into quality art pieces, no matter the medium.

Also, thinking of customers as "fools" only makes sense if you believe you are selling/producing garbage. If what you make has value, then whoever buys it is no fool.
The geographic aspect of SSNs no longer applies either. My kids have SSNs that start with different digits than my own which was assigned under the old regime where the first digit indicated where the SSN was issued.
I'm also that demographic.

In my case, a combination of having no kids, being entrepreneur (self employed) and having ADHD.

I have to ask people "is it tuesday or monday today" at least once a month. It gives strange looks. People often look at me, clearly trying to figure out if I'm bullshitting them. But I honestly forget such -for me- unnecessary details.

But I guess having children, or a regular job, or both, gives a firm anchor of weekends and weekly rhythms. I've had long periods of jobs were I too had such anchors.

Best way to explain it, is when you are on holiday (in one place), for a few weeks, you also don't know what day it is. I guess I always have holidays?
I am aware of the raw module. The stuff I was doing with Ansible and Fedora CoreOS required more than just that module.
The biggest challenge for these discussions is that people are not able to differentiate between different aspects of animals and intelligence.

For example, in the first few lines, they equate "self-aware" and "sentient".

We have to be able to use these types of terms more precisely to think about this clearly.

In some interpretation, Claude 3 has self-awareness. But it definitely can't have the type of "sentience" that an animal has because it has no body or simulation of a body.

Not only do you need to be able to decompose the various aspects of life and cognition, but you need to look at different levels and types of function inside of those characteristics.

Taper issue 12: JavaScript code poems under 2k

I've never needed either.

Try/catch is super confusing because the catch is often far away from the try. And in Python I just put try/catch around big chunks of code just in case for production.

I think Go is more stable and readable because they force you not to use the lazy unreadable way of error handling.

Enums I honestly never used in Go also not the not-type-safe ones.

But I'm also someone who used interfaces in Go maybe I think 4 times only in years and years of development.

I just never really need all those fancy things.
I was an early adopter of Puppet back when it was fairly new. It was a breath of fresh air when the state of the art was cfengine!

Despite its many great ideas, I never particularly liked the agent or need for a master server. And I've always managed to avoid learning Ruby so I couldn't easily hack on it myself. The company I'm with now uses it extensively so I'm having to re-learn it and so far my impression is that it went from "cool new open source thing" to "your average enterprise-grade bloatware thing".
Maybe containers are a better way of isolating processes as mentioned in other comments.
> In EU the share of ICT workers is pretty much homogeneous among the different countries.

Italy has a population of ~58m but an ICT service population of ~500k [0].

Romania has a population of 19m but an ICT service population of ~200k [1]

And this masks the large Romanian tech diaspora in Germany, the UK, and ofc a portion in Italy.

So the question is, why are so few Italians work in tech in comparison to a much poorer country?

> It's much easier to get a decent wage for a Romanian in Italy than for a Romanian tech worker in Romania

Just using levels.fyi (which imo is skewed) Romanian dev salaries are higher [2] than Italian ones [3] and as a former hiring manager for one of those MNCs Europeans keep trying to apply to, I can attest that salaries for the 50th percentile and above are comparable across Europe, which ofc means CEE based tech employees end up having less of an incentive to move out West (excluding UK and Switzerland) when factoring CoL.

There's a reason Big Tech employers like Amazon have a major developer presence in Tier 2 Romanian cities like Cluj or Iasi and not Tier 1 Italian cities like Milan or Rome.
