I've seen at least 10 different articles about this and not one of them names the company involved. Every article just calls it "a Weld County egg-laying facility" or an "egg-laying operation in Weld County"

It's kind of disturbing that information about where our food comes from is being kept hidden from us. The same thing happens whenever there are major food recalls. The names of the companies where the contaminated food came from are rarely revealed to the public.

In this instance, a few articles say the name of the facility is being kept secret due to something called the "Livestock Information Protection Act". Googling "Livestock Information Protection Act" only returns articles about this incident. Assuming that the Livestock Information Protection Act is a real thing that actually exists, I'd be interested in learning why it exists.

Legal concerns aside, aren't Youtube captions primarily AI-generated in the first place? I know some authors meticulously hand-craft their captions but that can't be the case for the vast majority of videos.

Therefore isn't training AI on this basically poisoning your own model? The caption quality is good but there are mistakes in pretty much every video I watch with captions.
Not a strong definition but still sufficient to exclude squirrels and even wild pigs are on the very low end.

You raise a good point as I would have expected “mega”fauna to have implied hundreds of kilograms at least. Under 100 and as low as 10 kg seems to take away any true meaning from the label.

Nir and team have built an amazing OSS package and have been fantastic to collaborate with (despite being competitors)! As an industry, I think more of us need to work together to standardize telemetry protocols, schemas, naming conventions, etc. since it’s currently all over the place and leads to a ton of confusion and headache for developers (which ultimately goes against the whole point of using devtools in the first place).

We recently integrated OpenLLMetry into our SDKs with the sole purpose of offering standardization and interoperability with customers’ existing DevSecOps stacks. Customers have been loving it so far!

Those are local log files on the device. The post says the subset of information sent to the server is smaller.

Uploading location data with requests is a feature of the device. It's supposed to take your location into account so you can ask it questions like "What's the weather forecast?"

The article is sparse on when the information is sent to the servers. If location data is being sent with requests, that's hardly a surprise.

Just to point out the obvious, something can be generally true even if it is not true for millions of people.

Of those millions with great high paying jobs, how many feel they still exist within a safe harbor. From my experience not even FANG employees in general feel that and there are not millions of those - we're really only counting Engineers not Amazon Wearhouse workers who are clearly a part of the working poor. Also the middle class is not what it used to be, in relative terms Tech is great, but what you may consider great high paying job I might consider a middle class job in historical terms and what you consider middle class I might consider working poor. Things really are getting worse, it's not just a meme.
Very strange to say "nobody has gone to the moon." Not only a few did the real thing, the idea that those moonshot does not reach their target depends upon the wrong idea that there is, say, one cancer and one cancer cure. As we cannot hence we are not there. But we did a lot and some move so much that a lot of patients are saved. And like we all know now about the mRNA but that is not given as an example, but why?

Proper boundary setting and negotiation is an important soft skill.

The takeaway from this advice is not to overdo it and burn out, but to recognize that not every responsibility needs to be delineated by bright line rules. Cultivating relationships with your team can take precedence over things that are strictly “not your job/responsibility”.

It isn’t an either or proposition.
This is such an awesome idea.

We're a web company. We should own a critical technology for getting on the web. Better experience surfing means more traffic for Google. But also, if we own the browser, we can push Google services and make them better and more convenient. We can also influence web standards to our favor. And a nice side-effect is we can better track users.

So--one part we're an ad company and one part MS-style "embrace and extend" the web.

Notion is a great example of my hatred of the current "upgrade or die" delivery method of software. Notion 1.0, when it was mostly text with a unique way to view tabular data, was fast and enjoyable to use. Once it shifted to competing with Atlassian et al, it acquired all the bloat those products already have.
5% interest rates are in no way extreme. Rates are at around the longterm average. What happens when rates go up is that businesses with shaky business plans that depend on low rates go under. In the longrun that's not necessarily a bad thing.

They are almost certainly extracting the audio and then using Whisper or other superior speech recognition models. I made a free tool which can do this very efficiently for whole playlists of YouTube videos, so I'm sure they can do the same:

I have never understood why AWs consume so much battery at rest. I have a Garmin that lasts for several days, and I would be happy to have an AW what doesn't do all the stuff the AW does, but which is made by Apple. It could be a dumbed-down version that just vibrates and displays messages that I receive. I basically want a smartwatch so I can avoid phantom vibrations, and so I can quickly see what messages have come in so I don't have to get out my phone all the time.

Is this an issue with WatchOS, the chipset being used, or the size of battery they have chosen? I know a lot of people out there who do not consider an AW or any other smartwatch because they don't want to have yet another device to charge daily. There are other companies that have achieved very good battery life (Amazfit, Garmin, Pebble), so it is clearly possible to have weeks-long battery life with a feature set that is more than enough for people like me.

I feel like I'll never have an AW until they decide to make an AWU-sized device, but with more battery and fewer hardcore workout sensors. I don't need to dive with my watch, or have it utilize multiple satellites for GPS. What I do need for a watch is to have it last for more than a day or two, so I don't have to bring a charger whenever I go on a trip.
Fossil fuel companies are valued on their infrastructure, and its shareholders leverage that value (VAL) for gains/loans/financial strengths in other pursuits.

Fortifying VAL necessarily means discrediting any harms by fossil fuels. It necessarily requires winning against renewable energy suppliers. How can these "necessities" be made moot? By getting the shareholders to also invest in renewables, using the loans leveraged from VAL. But then the loaners will be invested in VAL.

Solution is to make sale of fossil companies and infrastructure illegal. Government should buy it out.
Cool paper.

Still no response.
A similar thing happened to me recently with Target. What I received was obviously damaged, broken seal, broken canister, formula spilling out. I initiated a "damaged product" problem, and they wanted me to return it. So I dumped the rest, rinsed it, and returned an empty can to a physical Target store. The clerk was confused, but they didn't challenge me on it. I got the refund.

(I started ordering the formula online because there was a severe shortage recently due to a potentially contaminated batch. Finding it in a physical store was not possible for a while, and not practical even when it was available.)
Fundamentally speaking, government decisions are based on the individual egocentric needs of each member, not the needs of the population at large. This is why you can't trust governments to do the good thing: to make sure they do good you must coerce them as you would a private company.
That's actually a good task though - do something that at least partially resembles what you'll do in the job.

I think these folks are moreso annoyed by academic quizzes cribbed from 70's programming books that don't flex anything we're interested in, and do focus on things that are typically not very relevant to the job. Oddly they do seem to both prioritize new grads that are willing to shovel shit, and at the same time reject experienced folks that don't have the time for said shit.

It appears Rabbit had already released an update to address the issue on July 11th, the day before the author asked them for comment. They posted it here https://www.rabbit.tech/security-advisory-071124

> Pairing data can no longer be used to read from rabbithole. It can only trigger actions.

> Pairing data is no longer logged to the device.

> We have reduced the amount of log data that gets stored on the device.

> The Factory Reset option is now available via the settings menu. Customers should use this option to erase ALL data from their r1 prior to transferring ownership.
Most likely they were collecting it all to make debugging easier.

Agree with a lot of this and have seen a lot of similar stuff as a former developer gone cloud infra guy for most of my career now. The core problem, as he gets to in a lot of this, is that if you work on infra, you are seen as a pure cost, and not adding anything to "revenue" or "product" (which is of course false).

One of the most common patterns in hiring I see now is so exasperating it drives me to despair sometimes. You'll get a HR person or some clueless lead/hiring manager and they'll ask something like, "do you have experience with $X technology?"

Me: "Well, not directly other than in my personal labs, but I've worked with $Y, $Z technologies that do the same thing, and written my own version of this functionality from scratch and pushed it to $repo you can view here"

Hiring manager: "So, no $X experience then" *jots something down and you know you just failed the interview"

I know that some parasites secrete substances that reduce our immune response, for example hook worms. People that have autoimmune diseases of the gut sometimes see a benefit to purposely infecting themselves. I think our current genetic make up was selected by evolution to handle a high parasite load.

It seems like a lot of people these days are doing generative adversarial AI and the pretending like they invented a new thing.
Regarding storage of WiFi names:

That’s a weak excuse IMO. Firstly, the WiFi logic is probably entirely handled by Android, so the app doesn’t have to do anything with that. And that also doesn’t explain the WiFi names in logs. Or are they parsing their own logs to determine which WiFi to connect to? If it’s some structured data or a database, I would get it, but they surely aren’t logging something to reconnect to the mentioned WiFi names later.
This may come as a surprise, but it's not just hackers (or China) that you need to worry about.

It is crazy how many people will fail a question that boils down to 'write a for loop' despite going to college for 4 years in CS.
You are of course correct. In North America at least though, I do not believe many people are confused. The term “buffalo” is used much more commonly than “Prarie Bison”. I am not defending it but it is ubiquitous to the point that everybody knows what people mean when they say “buffalo”.

If somebody said “buffalo” to me, I would assume they meant bison ( unless I had additional context ). If they meant Asian or African buffalo, I would expect them to say “water buffalo”.

Again, I am not arguing what is correct. I am commenting on what I think people, as a group, understand.
Why did you make me read all this just to tell me that working at 5 failed companies results in not having a financially sound situation, while working at successful ones does? Whaayyyy?
> "This is why I don't eat meat anymore."

This is just one reason (though I think slightly different from what you're saying) why I don't eat meat anymore (the main one being my gallbladder was giving me pain when I'd eat meat/dairy - the doc wanted to take it out, but I found that going vegan solved that problem): Factory farms are very conducive to disease spread given the tight quarters the animals are raised in and can be viral evolution factories. But unless you're eating raw meat and drinking raw milk there's no worry about getting h5n1 from meat/dairy.
This company is definitely wading through the trough of disillusionment. Excited what root on the device could open up.

I have been disappointed in its hackability; however, the joy I receive when watching my 10 year old dive into a topic of his choice with this neon orange LLM is worth far more to me than the $200 for my R1. During these summer months I let him stay up late with this as his only glowing screen and he basically uses it like I used Encyclopedia Brittanica, except much more deeply and with more interesting subjects. I think it's a great little piece of purpose-driven hardware.

I dropped my own ChatGPT subscription and use this if I need to do some heavy lifting. I know it won't last forever, but it will last until the company goes bottom-up -- and longer if we get more boottime control through tools like this.
Reasonable? Sure.

Expected and therefore commented that it's chickenshit when it doesn't happen? Yeah, no. If this were a reputable news outlet, that expectation would be reasonable.
This presumes an educational career that benefits from engineering math. It's interesting to me that even a lifetime in computer science doesn't necessarily reward this strategy (it might, it might not, depending on focus areas).
How does this address the issues of incentives, or rather lack thereof?
I think it's entirely reasonable to report what you find when you find it, and update later with responses received.
I'm not sure if it's quite what you're looking for, but Inside the Machine by Jon "Hannibal" Stokes of Ars Technica has a good overview of computer architecture in general, plus detailed looks at some different processors.

From the Introduction:

"Inside the Machine is an introduction to computers that is intended to fill the gap that exists between classic but more challenging introductions to computer architecture, like John L. Hennessy’s and David A. Patterson’s popular textbooks, and the growing mass of works that are simply too basic for motivated non-specialist readers. Readers with some experience using computers and with even the most minimal scripting or programming experience should finish Inside the Machine with a thorough and advanced understanding of the high-level organization of modern computers. Should they so choose, such readers would then be well equipped to tackle more advanced works like the aforementioned classics, either on their own or as part of formal curriculum."
Let me know if you guys have any questions!
This "everyone is incompetent but me!" archetype is pretty common. Think of tradespeople who come in and always complain about the work the previous person did.

Fixing these types of problems and putting systems in place so they don't regress is the job. Working with others who may not have your same perspective or background is the job.
Sorry, in general I comment quickly and my English is still poor enough to be not so clear in some cases, I'll try to do better when I see issues, but still sometimes I remain unclear :-)

Anyway really dream a modern system like Emacs where you can simply "plug some code" in someone else "app" on your system, how easy it could be extending and also evolving thanks to idea circulation because well, a small "package" is easy to read and understand and being not "another whole app" but just a kind of "plug-in" it's far easier to try.

Choosing the current pro-commercial model we have already lost decades of potential evolution only for a bad base design... You can extend that to anything else: a washing machine? Imaging if it's control panel is just and open interface with a common standard communication protocol: you can integrate it in your p.v. and make your wash in self-consumption issueless, it would be so simple most geek can do showing a potential evolutionary path to others. From this to a simple "smart home" where all appliances run one after another to maximize self consumption, than a different design for new machines (let's say instead of one big induction coil many little to being able to tune the load) and so on, with innovation happening at almost all levels like in classic FLOSS but IRL, not just in some geek projects.
