I don't know other countries but Polskie Radio and TVP was turned into propaganda machine of who was ruling at the time with News starting with "thanks to the XXX and despite YYY saying it was not possible/stealing/selling to the Germans". It is a reason I'm not watching TV anymore.
You’re wrong to suggest the Journal is no longer owned by Dow Jones. Maybe you’re referring to the fact that until about 16 years ago Dow Jones was owned by the Bancroft family, then it was acquired by News Corp (Rupert Murdoch).

I think the quality has remained quite high, and the rather robust subscription numbers bear that out (millions of people paying $40/month is impressive). It helps that the WSJ news staff resisted the temptation to abandon objectivity as at NYT.

The FT and Economist are nice but FT newsroom is an order of magnitude smaller than WSJ and the Economist an order of magnitude smaller than that (if you’re subscriber who checks daily you’ll know this).

Of the three I’d keep WSJ if I had to choose. FT is very nice for an international perspective though. Economist for high level summary.

ChatGPT is an unbelievably bad tutor if what you want a tutorial about is even a little bit obscure (e.g. the answer you want isn't already included in Wikipedia). It just confidently states vaguely plausible sounding made up nonsense, and then when you ask it if it was mistaken it shamelessly makes up different total nonsense, and if you ask it for sources it makes up non-existent sources, and then when you look whatever it was up for yourself you have to spend 2x as long as you originally would have chasing down wrong paths and trying to understand exactly which parts ChatGPT was wrong about (most of them).

And that's assuming you are a very savvy and media literate inquirer with plenty of domain expertise.

In cases where the answer you want was already easily findable, ChatGPT still is wrong about a lot of it, and you could have more easily gotten a (mostly) correct answer by looking at standard sources, or if you want to be more careful tracking down their actually existing cited sources or doing a skim search through the academic literature.

If you ask it something in a topic you are not already an expert about, or if you are e.g. an ordinary high school or college student, you are almost certainly coming away from the conversation with serious misconceptions.
Yes, because it's cheaper and easier and has a longer tail (the press conference may be 20 minutes, the discussion about it can last all day) and is likely more entertaining (because the host can inject some personality) - so if you added more regulation to the "news" side, it would tip the balance to "opinion"/entertainment even further.
Highly regional dependent. Some places in the U.S. you could do without any weather reporting. Hot yesterday? Probably will be hot today. Cold today? Probably cold tomorrow. It all comes from NOAA anyhow. You could just drink right from the spigot like the meteorologists do, cut them out, and not miss anything.
This was a wonderful little read, thank you!
Why… well, it’s a sport where you compete to lift the most weight. The other competition lift is the clean and jerk.

For my old ass I do it because it’s so hard and the rest of my life is fairly soft. Waking up and getting beat down by some snatches (or occasionally having a great session) keeps me level headed in other areas of life, I guess.

If you’re not a competitive weightlifter but still training explosiveness for other sports then you’re better off doing variations on the lifts. Like hang snatches, power cleans, power snatches, etc.

I Want to Escape College
A few days back my college started and I already wanted to escape. I see people do nothing, just roaming here and there. I am sick of this. I want to run away from this before it gets worse. Does anyone have any solution? I am ready to relocate to work if someone needs me.

If anyone wants a PicoDVI sock or 4, I had 5 PCBs manufactured and am only using one.

I wanted to put the HDMI connector onto the PCB itself, so I could avoid soldering the very small pin pitch. So I took some measurements and did my first KiCad project!

https://forum.kicad.info/t/hdmi-pcb-edge-connector/48358/9

Just send me an email if you're interested in having one, and I'd be happy to post it to you. The resistors are already populated, too, you just need to solder on the Pico using the through-hole connections.
My credit union pays 3.25% on checking if you jump through the hoops (online statements, 10 debit or credit card transactions a month, $300 ach credit/month or $5000 balance across checking, savings, loans at the credit union).

It's the same rate they have for savings... they've previously had competitive savings rate, but they have been raising rates slowly this time.

I had thought the online high yield savings accounts also had high yield checking, but I don't see much currently. I only saw one offer from a bank whose name I don't recognize.

Some of the brokerages offer a checking account that sweeps into money market, or checkwriting against moneymarket holdings, you can look around a bit there.

I wonder if you are getting very different results with Copilot relative to what I've seen lately from ChatGPT4o. It did a pretty good job with the successive "Explain Galois theory like I am 5/16/133" prompts that I tried earlier. Seems likely that the chat system prompt is different from Copilot's, but who knows how.

I will say that I have asked it to solve gas-law problems before, back when the base ChatGPT4 model was in use, and it didn't do so well there. It came up with the correct logic but I found it hard to get it to use consistent units, so the numbers kept coming out wrong.

In general I find it super useful at improving my conceptual understanding of things -- it's at least as good as a good human tutor, at levels up to and including fairly-advanced signal processing topics -- but the details are less reliable. Feeding the same question to Gemini is a good way to double-check the numbers in my experience. If they agree, the numbers are probably right, while if they don't, then it's likely they're both wrong.

yea, we'd like to actually create these issues on a real cluster, but we couldn't figure out a good way of doing it at scale. The best alternative that we could think of was using an LLM that knows the root cause and could hopefully simulate outputs of commands consistently. Let us know if you have other ideas, we're always looking for ways to improve it.
This one is not a solution.

The first of these open source companies to switch to a closed source license because the big bad cloud was eating their lunch was MongoDB, which was already AGPL. The AGPL, by design, doesn't stop anyone from offering your code: it merely makes sure that they provide the source code and installation instructions to anyone who is using the service. Amazon is only to happy to provide this, and they always have for all of the services they offer (that require it). They even contribute to some of these projects.

Also, from the perspective of the free software movement at least, there is nothing to solve here. The whole point of the GPLs is that you don't get to have any special power over the code that you create: everyone who gets a copy has the exact same rights to it that you do, including the right to run your company under the ground if they can outcompete you.
ChatGPT tells me that this number, while impressively high, is approximately the amount of CO2 emitted by three hours worth of global airline flights. Probably off by an order of magnitude, but something to ponder.
I think CNCF is home to most of the big projects I’ve been contributing to or using lately.

Get over it. Until you earn yourself a seat on the board, your inquiring mind will likely remain inquiring. Not sure why you expect that the CEO needs to justify his/her schedule to rank-and-file employees.
True, but there's more: as I pointed out in my sister comment here, newspapers used to pull in money from classified ads too, but the internet made those completely obsolete. Basically, pre-internet, the only way to communicate with other people (other than directly or with a phone) was through TV, radio, or newspapers. Newspapers were by far the cheapest option, and most accessible to regular people (i.e., the classifieds). The internet replaced that: now people can communicate with others through the internet and various websites and other digital services.

It wasn't just about "the truth", it was about how people could participate in mass communications: the newspapers had a lock on one of the main ways to do this. The internet gave us a new communications medium.
Some of the most popular database and database related projects & products have been or are AGPL. MongoDB became massively successful as AGPL from the start. Grafana has been AGPL for 3+ years.

The AGPL is absolutely viable in commercial contexts. There are a handful of companies that have hangups about it, but the industry overall has long since realized that it is almost identical to the GPL for most practical purposes.
- Respect the user: We serve far too many ads for what is needed to achieve our goal, and our Cloud division does not always provide the support our users crave when they cannot use the amazing tools we create.
- Respect the opportunity: Some of us (myself included) have not always felt able to bring our best self to Google, preventing us from making the decisions that matter.
- Respect each other: Some of us do not share freely with each other (myself included from time to time), some of us do not respect ourselves enough (we put up with letting others and ourselves make suboptimal discussions). We are more and more hiding things from each other

This brings me to the point of this essay, which is that right now we are in a dangerous and divided world, with many democratic countries pushed to the edge by harsh dictatorships. We are in a world where individual expression is decreasing, not increasing, which is incredibly sad considering the technology we have available to us.
Somewhat concerningly, AI is being developed not by a stable democracy making rational decisions, but a barely functioning corrupt democracy. Worse, the technology is being developed by a company whose interests are not to spread love and connection for humans, but to maximize shareholder return to emotionally stunted billionaires. These are the people who I feel most sorry for. They can happily inflict so much pain on people for they must truly be missing so much love in their life.

My call to Google and the world is that we do the right thing, and put AI into the hands of the right people. That is, this powerful but dangerous tool must be developed responsibly and safely by a stable democracy, such as the UK. We don’t promise that we will always get it right. But we will learn from our mistakes. That’s all that humans can do.
I’m risking everything by sending this memo.

I’m risking my job, my family and even risking my life. But I accept anything I’ve done in the past and will talk about it openly and honestly.

I trust in humanity to do the right thing. Please help me share my message of hope. Thank you.

"Abhorrent nature" is very subjective and relative.
You can't measure a CEO's value by their hours or even effort. Their ability to recruit, raise money, sell, and how well they make important decisions are critical. Most of them are in meetings all day, everyday.
Now having read most of the article, and having done quite a bit of game development myself... it sounds like a large amount of the problems with Rome II and the engine they were building was the navmesh.

The navmesh is a sort of 3d mesh where the center of every triangle defines a node on a graph which can be used for pathfinding using algorithms like Astar.

It sounds like they needed people to manually create and optimize these for various maps rather than using an algorithm to generate it automatically.

Additionally there's this big issue with sea battles where each little boat has a little moving navmesh which little soldiers can move around on, including when the ships actually land and have to make the boat navmesh connect with the land navmesh at runtime.

Altering navmeshes at runtime (which are generally static stack allocated) is sure to lead to a bunch of stale references if the code wasn't architected to be flexible to begin with

This sort of detail is probably lost on non-technical folks and needs to be clearly communicated early on.

At the end of the day, I have much fonder memories of capturing the Black Ship in Shogun 2 (which used the old two navmesh system separating boats and land), and virtually no memories of landing troops in sea land battles in Rome 2. The feature was not important to gameplay, but requires refactoring the whole damn navmesh system!
The only threat that movies/music industry face are divided attention and changing tastes, it’s not pirating. They don’t want to face the reality of their situation and improve their products; people like twitch, YouTube, social media, TikTok, etc just as much as going to the movies or watching cable television or listening to Spotify.
Yes the Feds are really hamstrung by weed being a schedule 1 substance. It’s asinine

Especially, if as the article claims, they want to clear college students.

When I went through this, the guidance was that pot usage was ok as long as it was in the past and not chronic usage. Just say you haven’t been near it in years, but yes you did it. They’re going to interview everyone you’ve ever known that they can find, so just don’t lie about it.

How many college students can claim this? Weed is everywhere now.

Fact is, it’s schedule 1. If you are willing to break this law, what other very serious crimes are you willing to commit?

And if Palantir refused to hire software devs who have smoked weed, that would disqualify 80% of the talent pool in Silicon Valley.

AI Influencers
Yep, a lot of black and white takes. And I'm not a CEO.

A big portion of the job is just being able to not crumble apart, over a long period of time. Another metric: How prone are you to making a horrible decision when under extreme stress, instead of an average one?

The depths at which the worst case scenarios can bottom out are deep. However, when the downside does not materialize, all that is left is an average decision. And average decisions are easy to critique in hindsight, for the CEOs themselves, as well as for most other people.

In that sense, programming is similar: When you steer clear of horrible code, consinstently and over a long period of time, the plain looking stuff that comes out the other end can look like a given to somebody who hasn't been through enough code filled with bad decisions to appreciate their absence.

That's great that you've learned a tool that covers all your needs.

I've only used grid for responsive image galleries like https://labs.jensimmons.com/2016/examples/image-gallery-grid... or responsive cards like https://every-layout.dev/demos/grid-cards/. `grid-template-columns` is good to learn. `grid-gap` is convenient. Flexbox seems to handle everything else.

But I'm still iffy about grid template areas. The article makes a case for easily adjusting layouts per breakpoint, or "for team members who might need to change a layout." Maybe I'm just not the target audience.

> It's probably just enough to dress them in business casual…

Bonus points for how little effort you can get the actors to put in while still getting away with it. Just have them wear shorts, some tech vendor t-shirts, and put most of them in a conference room, while two people talk about the last “feature” release.

If it’s not a tech related portion of the business, do the same, but say something about making casual “insert-day-of-the-week” and have said business group talk about how the last “feature” release impacted their section.

Triple bonus points if you get the boss to join in on the discussion with no one knowing what the actual “feature” released was, without the boss figuring the whole thing out.
What’s wrong with it? It just means network.
The funny thing is, it was pretty clear to me he meant that as a bit of a joke.

The question on our application is "are you a fit for the JD"

For the most part, the answer is "obviously yes, that's why I'm applying", but we do get some really insightful answers here where people talk about their weaknesses too and we learn something.

But even in the call he seemed to acknowledge that was a bit of a joke, and I legit don't mind jokey bravado for the most part.

NPR does a fabulous job not sounding like CNN or Fox News with their breathlessness. Sure like 1 in 100 stories from them would be meh, but I use them and APNews as my primary source and it doesn’t feel like a panic attack when I go to their pages as compared to most mainstream news.

No, that's exactly what I meant. It's implied from context that I am talking about taxation of people living in other countries. The bit I was directly replying to from root post:

> The US government is so powerful, they are the only country that enforces a draconian global taxation scheme on any citizen or person who has ever held a US green card, even after they permanently leave the country.

So I replied:

That's not the only alternative.

Another alternative could be that the government breaks up entities like Google and regulates the market in a way that segments it so that it is more beneficial to society by providing more safety and stability over the vital infrastructure that is the Internet as well as by creating healthier markets that provide consumers with access to cheaper, better goods from a variety of vendors aren't squeezed by the likes Google, Apple, and Amazon.
