Do you have grey hair? If so, you are screwed. Recruiters and hiring managers will not interpret you as taking a principled stance against leet coding. They will simply conclude you are too old to be able to do leet coding.

As far as having two kids goes---yeah, that's exactly the point of leet coding tests. If you don't have the time or energy to waste on mastering pointless exercises, you won't have time and energy to work 60-80 hour weeks. They want to filter out people with adult responsibilities, and adult problems.

Basically, are they going to hire one of you--experienced enough that you can recognize bullshit and so you will be continually pushing back--or two new college grads, single, no social life, and eager to do whatever it takes to make their mark on the world?

Alas, if you want a job coding at a company like facebook, google, bloomberg, etc etc you simply are going to have to be crackerjack at puzzle solving and leet-coding. Think of it more like hazing week at a college fraternity rather than as a test for how good of a coder you are.

Personally, I think it's ridiculous. If somebody has been programming since the Reagan administration at companies like Microsoft and AMD and Facebook, they will do fine wherever they are hired. But it is what it is.
The limits on packet size are based on the transfer type (control, interrupt, isochronous, or bulk) and whether the connection is low speed (1.5 Mbps), full speed (12 Mbps) or high speed (480 Mbps). The USB module on the MCU will be designed for the largest possible packet, which IIRC is a full-speed 1023-byte isochronous packet. (MCUs usually aren't fast enough to reach high speed.)

Data larger than one packet can be sent as a multi-packet "transfer". This is where bulk transfers get their throughput -- at full speed, the largest bulk packet is only 64 bytes, but you can send 19 bulk packets per 1-millisecond frame, which gives 1216 bytes/millisecond, more than the 1023 bytes/millisecond possible with isochronous.

You might be able to force the hardware to send nonstandard packets, but then it's not really USB any more.
You could have them every hour and would still have to choose between two candidates that nobody wants. There is a lot more to fix.
Many writing systems of Southeast Asia borrowed this idea and work quite similarly as a result. Here's Burmese, which also writes vowels on all four sides of the consonant they follow:

Various parts of the UK political system looked at a 'social media tax' that would then be funneled into the national health service for mental health.

The idea was scrapped when it became clear the US would retaliate in some way (to protect their big companies).
The thing is it wouldn't have been expensive to test. In the article they describe the testing they did after they treated her for auto-brewery syndrome. The gave her an oral administration of glucose and then observed her alcohol levels. It would lead me to believe a pretty easy means to diagnose auto-brewery would be to check BAC, give them glucose and then retest BAC. If it goes down they at the very least aren't currently suffering from auto-brewery. If it goes up, that would be a pretty strong indicator they are suffering from it. Have an orderly or nurse observe to verify no alcohol was consumed if you want.
The cost of creating worthwhile content, however, is not really much less than it has always been.
>If a piece of content is taken down, it should remain down, and it should be the responsibility of the company hosting that content to ensure that it does not reappear.

Completely unenforceable in any way. Social media companies can not possibly act as law enforcement for the entire Internet.

>Right now, there's no real benefit to the social media companies to invest in this area.

There will never be any incentive, since the proposal is ridiculous.
It's not a particularly insane claim; at one point China was claiming the virus originated in a US bioweapons facility. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/20/china-revives-...

Here's someone specifically espousing the theory: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/covid-coronavirus-russia-ch...

> China is trying to rewrite the narrative, he said, by suggesting that U.S. army officers brought the virus to Wuhan during military games in December — but Kremlin-controlled media outlets appear to be trying to prolong the pandemic outside of Russia.

> "We saw articles ... claiming that handwashing has no impact on stemming the spread of the virus, that smokers do not get coronavirus, that ginger can be used to prevent contracting the disease," said Nehring. "Tons of false information that's never been corrected, never been retracted and is still online today, being put out by the Russians."

Kneecapping a geopolitical enemy by spreading disinformation would hardly be a first.

I think it really matters who is talking. Which is easier for a school board to do? Take away students phones in their schools or force tictok to make their app less harmful.

If you're in a mixed gender school, you're basically in a building with hundred of potential candidates.

I disagree. Your only competition is other 14-16(hopefully not higher) year olds, none of whom have careers!

> It's completely OK if you're content with not having any romantic life at 14! But what if you're not?

So if you're not you're supposed to resort to pornography? How will that help?

> WRT "damages their relationships in the future" - I can't imagine that

Do you believe either of the two below?

- Watching pornography creates a false expectation/perception of actual relationships & sex?

- Regular pornography consumption can lead to erectile dysfunction / pre-mature ejaculation?

Why not sell your extra kidney, get some dough. You don't owe that kidney to your future self.
These fullscreen messages are so confusing to elderly people, most of my support calls from family and friends are related to the weird and unpredictable updates and invasive popups, or the consequences from these.

I have slowly been moving them, one by one, over to Fedora. I still get support calls, but not related to the OS, more like, "how do I add an attachment to this email, I forgot."

The biggest deterrence for a Taiwan invasion is the worlds reaction (or half-hearten reaction) to what is happening in Ukraine. When the West lacks the spirit to help Ukraine win, what chance does Taiwan have?

China realizes that there will be little to no fall out in the invasion of Taiwan and any reaction from the West will be limited and short lived. Russia has shown them the way and they can count on the support of Russia, Iran, North Korea and many, many other countries.

The Leaders and people of Taiwan have said the same thing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/10/taiwan-de...

I believe Putin's latest trip to China also included Russia's unequivocal support for China in taking Taiwan and the event of a war with the West.
That was my first thought. Normal looking repo when viewed using Git or a browser, the nastiest, buggiest malware you've ever seen when scraped by an AI bot.

My second thought: Surely no company is stupid enough to train an AI on data that hasn't been checked and verified good by a real human expert.... Then I remember that Google just assumed that Reddit is reliable.

One thing I have been suspicious of with these tests is exactly this... it is effectively an age discrimination loophole. Having free time to practice riddles is a decent proxy for how young you are.

> It also didn't help that there was no clear leader

The public narrative is that DEI was being pushed by some outside, socially progressive force, but when you look into the details it was almost always investors that were pushing for DEI in companies with internal cheerleaders being the champions.

I'm not entirely sure what the true motivations of this trend coming from investors was but I'm a bit too cynical to believe it was primarily "love for humankind".
> Why won't the war on phones be as effective as the war on tobacco?

I also just pointed the same thing out to the parent commenter, but to play devil's advocate: it won't be as effective because phones have a variety of legitimate use cases (communicating with family & coworkers being among them) that mean people will end up wanting/needing to use them later in life anyway, and will potentially want or need to use them (or learn how to use them) while they're still students. Tobacco/nicotine drugs serve no functional or productive purpose the way phones do.
Can we interpret this as good news of Ladybird but bad news for Serenity? If Ladybird drops support for SerenityOS, what would be its built-in browser?
I've heard AI advocates talk about a "right to read" or "right to learn"; meaning that we have the right to read something and then internalize it and use it. Therefore, why shouldn't an AI have the same right? The difference to me seems to be that the AI has the ability to regurgitate it in whole.

I can read a book, learn about the concepts, then use or repeat those concepts. The AI can do the same. But is it really "learning"? It may be just spewing out pieces of the content without any understanding. In which case it's a copyright violation, right?
That was well done
Without measuring the changes that _have_ stuck around, it's not really easy to tell whether it's a matter of two steps forward and one step back, or two steps forward and two steps back, or one step forward and two steps back.

netcat+mkfifo does the actual transfer with TCP - so there's no tunneling involved. This solution tunnels tcp through file abstraction, so it works significantly differently.

As for the uses, see the three author listed. For example, by using a file share as transport you may evade firewall.

Someone could easily create a such a license. Free to use and distribute, $10,000 per line used for AI model training.

I'll very naively assume that Amazon, OpenAI, Google and others check licenses before feeding data to their models. I'll stop assuming that when one of these companies admit that they don't actually care and it's not profitable for them to respect licenses.

No they weren't invented two times, Newtons physics equations were invented one time, then Leibniz reconstructed calculus after reading Newtons work on physics. Leibniz almost surely wouldn't have invented calculus without having read Newtons work on motion, so they aren't comparable.

The only thing that event proves is that inventing calculus if you have the the formulas of motion is easy, both Newton and Leibniz did that, but it was Newton who invented the formulas of motion that was required to invent calculus.

So I think Newtons equations of motions was a requirement for the industrial revolution, that is a key that unlocks the ability to understand machines on a whole new level.

Also Newtons motion equations are simply just

F = ma

They don't require a lot of mathematical pre work etc. But, nobody solved that properly for a really long time, and that is the basis for classical physics so basically every single thing we did during the industrial revolution. It was the key to modern engineering where we use math to calculate machine properties. I don't think it is just random chance that the industrial revolution happened just a few decades after classical physics was invented.

It is such a ridiculous coincidence otherwise, that the formulas and concepts that are the foundation to all of engineering was invented just before engineering took off for real.

I hear ya, I'm with ya on every single point.

Except...

I would stake my fortune that the difference between 70% effectiveness and 99% effectiveness in a monitored study is going to be reduced into a rounding error in the real world. There are so many factors to control for when it comes to how they get used, how good they fit, how much they trap moisture over a long day, how much their performance degrades, etc.

For the purpose of preventing most incidental exposures, I would think that at the end of the day anything that prevents direct airflow is going to perform practically the same.

In my case, I was exclusively using N95s when I caught Covid back in the day, and it was probably for a myriad of ways that I was using the mask wrong or making other bad choices. The mask itself being 99% effective probably didn't significantly change my odds when I had to wear it 14 hours a day.
I just use my memory and verify later. Unlike a LLM I have persistent long term durable storage of knowledge. Typically I can pretty easily pick out a hallucination though because there’s often a very clear inconsistency or logical leap that is non sense.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. It's an exceedingly common sentiment among parents.
DEI hurt many companies. If anything it eliminated diversity of thought for those superficial categories of difference, and caused strong leaders to mutate their contributions from clear direction and achievement into playground cow towing to participation award saboteurs dragging the entire team down.
Good point. Makes me wonder if they'd consider a Threadripper version that uses that chipset, since the Non-Pro Threadripper have been in a weird spot ever since Ryzen went up to 16 cores. An AM5 Threadripper might not make sense because one of the appeals were the much bigger amount of PCIe lanes, but I wonder if they would pair the X870E with a new socket for Zen 5 Non-Pro Threadrippers.

(Founder) wanted to explain our intent behind the business… so here’s the origin story.

We tried to make the business work exclusively with self hosted and open source focus. I thought cloud would never work as we have so much competition. However we just couldn’t make hosting it at scale a good experience. We often have more data than customers production instances.

We wound up having to spend a ton of time debugging k8s in other people’s infra via screenshots. This wasn’t good for us or customers.

We kept having people hosting it themselves for no reason other than liking us so for the sake of a good experience for them, we made a cloud product. This represented the majority of users. It’s also cheaper for most people as we just have a big free tier and shared infra costs, so no hosting bill. Turns out cloud worked.

We didn’t want to abandon the OS project but we stopped trying to make money via an open core model. That means we call it a hobby instance because it just doesn’t scale very well.

Dumb phones address the "kids contacting their parents" angle just fine, you don't need a smartphone for that. I also think that if parents are truly panicked by the inability to contact their child on a moment's notice, that is genuinely an issue they need to work on. It is neither normal nor healthy to feel that way. But regardless of whether they are justified in that stance, that too is addressed just fine by dumb phones.

The idea that they could hire a good junior programmer and train them up on whatever their specific needs are seems to have disappeared in the software development industry.
