Right!

Like how some of OpenAI's current challenges include a) not leaking everything they create to the PRC and b) not having their tools abused for disinformation campaigns, so they appointed someone with leadership experience in keeping secrets from the PRC and combating disinformation campaigns.

Or did you mean "NSA man bad"?
Yes, for ALL purposes that people use the Pis for there's definitely a better, more specific option. But that's the great thing of the Pis, that they are very general-purpose for hobbyists, while also being very well standardized and documented (and run Ubuntu).
Ignorant of facts would be a good answer
That’s what HR will do.

Most companies don’t constrain an individual employee from providing a recommendation. People might not want to do it, but that’s a different issue.
IMO, it sucks for me beyond the level of quality.

For starters, consent is the first problem I have. Yes, lots of examples, but none of the individuals consented to having their likeness used to say things they didn't. Now, abstract this problem of a lack of consent beyond "examples"—the creators of this have no problem with the ethics of not asking for consent, thus the world at large will not either.

Then we have the problem of how it is going to be abused and what problems will exist because of it.
Are you sure that is not just mimicry of mechanisms left by evolution? Is like saying ChatGPT has conscience because it can talk or "think" like us...are we missing something here?

I am not opposing your view, just trying to understand the logic - perplexed by downvotes on a simple question...
> Requiring a company to write recommendation letters would be compelling speech

It would, but that's not what's being discussed.

The accusation is that the companies are restricting speech by saying that managers cannot provide a reference, even if they clearly state in said reference that the views are their own and not that of their employer. Nobody is trying to compel anyone else to provide a reference, the idea is that nobody should be prohibited from it, especially since for long term employees leaving on good terms their manager(s) is/are probably one of their best references.

No, an apt comparison would be with a PC like a used ThinkCentre off eBay, where $50 buys you an i5 with 8 GB RAM and a real SSD.
On trees - how could we neglect the Succinct trees?

Succinctness - expressing trees with as little bits as entropically possible. The representation is as simple as it could be - simply write down nested parentheses whose abstract syntax tree is your given tree. Practically all tree operations in logarithmic or constant time. How it works - recursively with range-min trees and range-max trees - simple and elegant number theory.

Disagree with the title.

What one should try to avoid being, is a dick. Help people improve. Point out their weaknesses and how they can improve, but get your ducks in a row beforehand - don't be a hypocrite. He who lives in a glass house and all that....

Have empathy, and understand your surroundings, as well as reading the room with context. Be direct with people, don't waste their time, but don't be rude or crass with them. Pleases and thank you's.

If someone is falling behind at work, talk to them and understand why - don't just fire them (perhaps something outside of work that is serious is weighing them down - if that is the case tread with caution, and don't be so quick to make a decision that could cost you or your organization socially or fiscally down the road). If you must cut ties with someone, make sure you do so in a direct, honest and respectful way. If YOU were to be fired, how would you like to be treated? There's your baseline.

Don't act like an HR drone trying to use flowery language around everyone. Be respectful of everyone as well as their time, and have a baseline level of professionalism that is applied to EVERYONE regardless if they are above or below you on the org chart. Every organization I've worked in, everyone from the janitor to the CEO got a "good morning" and a "yes sir/no sir" on a daily basis. Respect in life is earned, but there's a baseline of where it should be a given. Treat people with dignity.
[Copy-pasting my review from Amazon]

Did you know that Maxis (creators of SimCity) sold investors on a vision a world where "simulation" was a common use-case for computers, and Maxis was the company at the center of simulation software?

This was the first of many fascinating revelations this book brought me. Reading it, I found myself getting caught up in their grand vision.

The first part of _Building SimCity_ is a deep dive into the game's historical antecedents: from tabletop city simulations and Vannevar Bush's analogue computers, to systems thinking and cellular automata. This part explores many ideas that I have briefly encountered before and wondered "why hasn't anyone taken these wonderful ideas and produced something great with them?" The book answers: "Will Wright did, you just didn't notice." More specifically, _Building SimCity_ argues that SimCity the game is a synthesis and application of many great ideas, which are mostly hidden to the player. This book gives us a look behind the curtain.

The second part of the book spends chapters on the design of SimCity, the history of Maxis, and the experience of playing SimCity. The implementation chapter has no code listings — as a programmer, reading it feels like reading an exceptionally clear design document, explaining the real-time (UI) clock and the simulation clock, the 16-bit representation of map tile state, the main simulation loop, and the map scan algorithm for information propogation across tiles. This chapter is accompanied by exceptionally well-designed diagrams, which I find quite valuable on their own.

To set expectations: this is an academic work. It contains war stories and technical details, but it also goes to great lengths to situate SimCity in its historical context, connecting it to previous ideas, and providing full citations. But though the prose has an academic bent, I find it very engaging and readable.

The only negative thing I can say about this book is that the printed edition has a chemical smell, which I assume is due to the full-color printing and will presumeably fade with time.

[Disclaimer: I haven't finished this book yet, I've read the first few chapters about the history of simulation and also skipped ahead to the chapter about SimCity's implementation details. I'm posting this here because it's what I've written out in emails to friends about the book; I'll update my review when I finish reading it.]
> the origin of that attitude

I suspect the attitude is the default / most primitive one, because any other attitude requires higher-order cognitive processes that can abstract one's own experiences (which is the only real input one has) with the behaviours of entities that appear to be very different from oneself. In other words, the capacity for empathy is a "positive feature", in the sense that it is absent by default.

The ability to make this kind of abstraction is a pretty sophisticated thing, and either requires time to evolve (as an instinct), and/or requires socialization/learning (as a partly or totally-intentional practice).
Oh I'm not angry, just saw a possibility for improvement :)

It is not an impossible problem. Most of these song sound like they have been recorded in someone attic. These are not songs published by a record label.

Just make the recommendation chance smaller for privately published 'songs', with core theme of poop and no adult audience. Something like this, some engineer at Spotify can do this.
But half the questions here are less about ensuring competency to make decisions and more basic definitional stuff manual workers that didn't finish high school would presumably be expected to pick up after a couple of weeks on the job. Don't think we'd be raising standards if we dropped all the calculus and statistics knowledge requirements in a modern Econ course in favour of "name three web technologies" and "describe the difference between an Account Executive and and SDR"
I wouldn't outright call him a failure, no, and I wasn't doing that. But I do believe it's healthy for us today to examine ways that women were disadvantaged in the past if we want to fight against such things in the future.

If his wife was dismayed by his unwillingness to fulfil his promises then we could in fact say he was a failure in that way. Whether you choose to look at it that way or not is of course up to you. At the end of the day he took on the responsibility of supporting other people in a material sense and then chose to prioritise his own good feelings over that support. The issue is of course systemic at the core, in that she was limited in her choices, but he understood this when agreeing to marry.

I agree with you that things in the US are not as good today as they could be in ensuring that people can live independently, but the freedom of women to support themselves is certainly much improved in the last 100 years. I also have to say that the US is not the whole world and Shakleton and his family were in fact normally based in British territories where the modern welfare system is significantly more developed.
The challenge is that part of an advanced human society is creating black-and-white lines in structures to promote peace and prosperity.

For example, everything we associate with the magical age of 18 years old. "Adulthood", sexual consent, voting, drinking, smoking, conscription all begin on an arbitrary day and we take no consideration of the reality of the maturity of the person.

(Not to mention that "maturity" is entirely cultural and contextual. A harsher world (like one that most of humanity existed in for our entire history) causes earlier maturity. A gentler one (that we are obviously all trying to create) delays it.

So with animals, I see the spectrum, and I see that we are seeking to set a line...somewhere. Some set it just after humans. Humans are special, and everyone else is fair game. Vegans also have a pretty clear line.

Everything else, vegetarians included, are pretty "fuzzy". I'm an omnivore myself, but if you asked me for a concrete logical reason why my personal ethics allow me to eat pig but not dog, I don't think I could give you a ethically consistent one other than "pigs are delicious, and dogs are my friends".

Personally, I do believe that the same way that our generation asked our grandparents how they could've been ok with the racial discrimination & segregation that was ubiquitous in their youth, I think my grandchildren will ask me the same about my consumption of meat.

The reasons will likely be a mixture of climate impact (species of fish going extinct), and cost (because of the energy cost required to create pigs and cows). Society will form an ethical consensus about why it's not appropriate to eat animals to help reduce WW energy costs the same way that early people in the Levant found it helpful to create rules about not consuming pigs or shellfish (for sanitary reasons).

And there'll be "scandals" about rich people that have secret animal farms similar to what we have today about finding out about billionaires in dubai basically having secret house slaves. (AKA, outrage, but no meaningful change)

BTW from where I stand, it seems fairly reasonable to deduce that all mammals are in some way conscious/sentient, and have intelligence comparable to our own. Mammals play, mourn their dead, have a common signal that generally causes us to protect the young of all mammal species and find them cute.

I also think that there is a strong case for a very unique type of intelligence and conscience in Cephalopods. I have personally taken a stance to not eat cephalopods. Because I think they are in greater danger of going extinct vs. mammals (since their stock counts are so invisible to humanity), and I have decided (subjectively) that consuming a distinct type of intelligence from my own constitutes a form of crime. I don't know if I can defend that in court though.

I am not convinced about the rest of the animal kingdom.
Sometimes... believing is all we have.
I have one where I deployed K9s so I can learn Kubernetes better, and one where I have deployed Harbormaster (http://harbormaster.readthedocs.io/).

The Harbormaster one has a bunch of stuff (Zigbee2MQTT, my smart home stuff, my apps, etc. I have a Pi 4 that has Octoprint, services on the NUC load instantly whereas Octoprint feels a bit sluggish.

The NUC is an x86 (well, amd64) box, with a 10W power draw, which is great. I don't think a desktop PC will do less than 100W...
For many services, the expected value of letting people from Russia access their service is negative.
The reality is that Russia contributes a large portion of hacking attempts while providing very little to no revenue for the service.
At the end of the day it is just business, and sometimes letting countries access your service is bad for the bottom line.
U guys need to realize that stripe is one of many many options.

Get a payment gateway like authorize.net and then you are free to create a merchant account with any company you like. Fuck stripe their dev experience is awesome but not awesome enough for me to build my whole code base around them only for them to play with your business as they like.
I am amazed we have not yet said "Hands off!" and coordinated physical interventions against the scum who attack our electronic brains.

Is it so hard to kick in the doors of those whose IP addresses are used to try to hack honeypots?

This lack of action is why I oppose all law enforcement. Until they do their jobs, they do not need to be paid.
A number of people have commented that they’ve never experienced a filename with `\n`, or other weird characters, in the wild. On the contrary, I’ve seen this many many times, to the point that I’m defensive about how I write scripts, to compensate.

In my case, these were files created by some other program that contained a bug, where the filename was accidentally set to something like the file contents, say. These other programs were often written by researchers, rather than engineers, who (reasonably so) cared more about their research, than functional correctness. They were also not incentivised to clean-up the dodgy files, if they fix the bug — a big if! — or may not have even be equipped to do so.

You could argue that this is an edge case, but shit happens. Often.

> Science needs experiments and those will not go faster because of AI.

Even though I am deeply skeptical whether AIs (as they are commonly understood today) will be helpful for hard scientific problems (for quite different reasons), I don't think this argument necessarily holds: couldn't a (hypothetical!) AI propose much better experiments and experimental designs?
Dude... why is it my problem when something on your side won't connect?

Here it just worked. From an exit where RT is DNS-blocked, btw. No problem from Colorado either. Fix your cargo-culted setup. And I don't give a shit about what NATO says. There are some 'asymmetries' in which side does it more often, but that's it. I won't spoil my sunday by (re)digging deeper, just to spoon-feed you.

I mean sure, I understand that. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. BR are really well known to anyone dealing with ROVs or AUVs, but that's not exactly the average person.

Commercial consumer hardware R&D is mostly a fool's errand these days, since if it's something that's worth producing and sells there will be clones that work just as well available almost immediately. I'm not sure how say, Adafruit, sells anything at all to be honest, anything they make gets perfectly cloned and sold on Aliexpress for a tenth of the price. I guess going extremely niche and overpriced is one way to work around it.
Rugged Intel NUCs have no fans.
I remember installing Windows on new PCs that came with DR DOS in th early 2000s.

Always wondered why they didn't come with Linux.
You could just redirect it to the page they need to show for the bad sites :)
I'm using AVR/STM for IO. have plenty of them around. Just loaded with a basic serial to IO passthrough program.
Can't complain for £2 each on aliexpress.

EDIT: added STM.

After reformatting, did git blame always pointed to those commits and the most recent author, or were they added to --ignore-rev?
I agree completely. Anyone who spends even a cursory amount of time with a companion animal such as a dog or cat can see that they are emotional beings, and the notion that you can be emotional without also being conscious seems to strain credulity.
New vs used is mentioned, but kinda critical for the comparison. Yes a $60 board is definitely less capable than a $300 PC. The cost difference is primarily driven by the factors compared: better CPU, better IO, and more memory. You get what you pay for and you can get deals in the used market.

Pi's are great for their ecosystem, being fanless, and cost for a brand new device.

Aside: ESP32/ESP8266 have taken over a lot of the hobbyist realm for connectivity + GPIO. $3 dev boards that are plenty fast for almost any single use-case scenario.
Not the parent, but I run my Pi5 without a case, out of sight. I do have the Active Cooler fan on it, but on normal low intensity usage the fan turns on only during bootup and otherwise stays off.
This will further push websites to paywalls making the internet less feee.

I'm not sure about the downvotes, I couldn't even downvote you if I wanted to because you replied to me.

I'm operating on the assumption that evolution happened as Darwin described it. As another reply to you notes, darwinian evolution precludes sharp divides between species in favor of a gradual development of complexity over time. A believer in darwinian evolution should expect consciousness and emotions and other mental processes to manifest on a continuum, which means that the question of animal consciousness should be about as controversial as the question of our own consciousness (which is definitely an open topic of philosophical debate but is also impossible to solved with an experiment).
True. It's also sophisticated to have the ego required to believe you should inherently have dominion over the entire planet and all animals on it. I don't think it's an idea most people would have adopted themselves without being born into a society formed by religions that perpetuate such a belief and it's consequences [1].

As an aside, it's not clear to me how "having dominion" should justify such mistreatment, anyway.

That's for the most part nonsense / a distorted perspective on what happens in science... and I say this as someone who used to be a biochemist.
> The only reason why animal consciousness has been controversial historically is a religious one

In your sentence I would substitute ''religious'' with other more specific terms like ''Judeo-Christian'' since Jainism and Hinduism have been talking about a continuum of consciousness in all living things for almost 3,000 years: specifically described by them as the Ātman and the Jiva.

Yes but widespread flooding, drought, crop failures and economic collapses etc. would make it much harder to devote resources towards such launches.
He then went on to do Spore. Here is a pre-release talk from 2005:

The final game got nerfed by EA but this talk is great fun and a continuation of sorts.
That would be CP/M-86. It also missed the launch window for the IBM PC and wasn’t available until six months later, so PC-DOS had every opportunity to establish itself.

As the article notes, DR-DOS didn’t become a product until many years later.
Again, that sounds like a good reason, but it’s not the reason, and it would be easy to solve. The reason is wage suppression.
This would have come in handy when a cricket was in my house and I was looking for sounds of cricket predators to entice it to leave my abode. Eventually I did find one on YouTube but it didn't work. Turns out crickets can't hear sounds, but do feel wind vibrations, which is why they stop when you walk near them.
The PC gaming market doesn't seem to track that well with the console market, though. I was always surprised by this-- you'd think that all the optimization skills and tricks they learned to get the most out of console APUs would result in a lot of ports being optimized by default for Radeon cards.

I suspect the problem the PC gaming market is very halo-product steered: Intel's product credibility is still buttressed by whatever 700-watt-from-the-wall 16900WTFBBQ they can showcase for benchmarks, and Radeons winning at various price/performance tiers means nothing when they don't have a 4090 killer.

I was also surprised how effectively ray-tracing was sold to the market, considering plenty of games still don't use it, and those that do take a big performance hit for it. The RTX2xxx cards were sort of turkeys, but I suspect it now provides an excellent FOMO/FUD scenario for newer cards-- that 7900XT might not ray-trace as well as a 4080.
Even if you get global approval it is still good to split CLs to avoid e.g. merge conflicts.
Matomo (self-hosted analytics, used to be called Piwik) maintain a list of referrer spam domains. I use it as a filter list with GoAccess and haven't seen referrer spam for a long time. Worth a look. https://github.com/matomo-org/referrer-spam-list
There are complete passively cooled n3350 based systems on Ali express with 64gb storage and 6gb ram in a case with power supply ready to go for $65 with free shipping. That works out cheaper than the cheapest pi after buying case, storage and power for the pi. You can buy usb gpio breakouts for <$10 too. Lower power than the pi 4 too due to the huge process node advantage (despite the x86 disadvantages). 28nm vs 14nm for the pi 4 vs the n3350.

The pi is fun but honestly for pi hole or similar you might as well buy the all in one x86. For media streaming definitely buy the all in one x86. For gpio stuff ok the pi is reasonable but even then if you want to make a product rather than a home automation once off you’d go a different route completely.
I remember how I used to call a BBS rather than go to the internet because there was much more than just universities and their research - took a long time until there wasn't a reason to call the BBS, around the point when all the people moved their content.
> and implement all of the UI in the browser (especially the animation timers and input handlers)

I may have misunderstood you, but in my experience using the DOM for UI is a bad idea if performance is a concern. DOM updates in the browser are incredibly slow, especially for something like a game which wants to modify UI elements every frame. Meticulously avoiding relayouts, style recalculations, and other slowdowns is a constant headache.

EDIT: run a few second performance profile of your site. Now do it again while waving the mouse back and forth over the UI links. Notice all the recalculate style and hit test calls that take more time than your entire WASM update! And that's with a UI that's doing nothing!
What's the point of posting a book listing? A review or an analysis would have been more interesting.
"Protect democracy and freedom" contrasts starkly with seeking refuge in Russia and becoming a Russian citizen. In many ways, he's the _perfect_ mouthpiece for anti-US propaganda. I'm not sure what that doesn't give more people pause.
