The blatant nature of land empire of "grab all you can get ,never let go, lie through your teeth,assume everyone else is a lying land empire also " was visible even during the fall of the sovjet union in grosny , the various border raids of china into its neighbors (vietnam), and the various persian proxy wars. but the problem was that dove liberal future optimism incompetence infected a whole generation of politicians. including the "warmongery" group around bush junior . which removed one landempire containing another from the map and just ignored the other unreformables while they staged blatant psyops.
`2 + 3` would be internally `((prim(3, 1) 2) 3)`, which can be composed of following fragments (where `^>v<` indicates the direction and the position of the current turnstile):

AA
prim(3, 1): >BBB
C

literal 2: AvB
CC

literal 3: AvB
CCC

A
(prim(3,1) 2): >*****prim(3,1)
*
*
2

A
((prim(3,1) 2) 3): >*****(prim(3,1) 2)
*
*
3

So assuming that each distinct letter corresponds to a distinct color, one possible encoding would be:

A A BB
>>BBBBBCCCCCD
B C AD
B C D
CBD DCA
AAA BB

The specification allows for a simple "identity" pattern which can be used to extend otherwise overlapping patterns here. The following, if I did everything right, would be more compact but much harder to decipher:

CADABB
>>BBCD
CBDCAD
AAABBD
All things in balance. It's often easier to get stuff done with more hands, and it's a lot easier when you're able to pay for people's time.

There are plenty of counter-examples to this (writing OSS software, farming your own land with a commune, etc), but in general it's easier to get stuff done when you can throw cash at it, at least in late stage capitalism. It'd be hard to build a company like SpaceX without a boatload of cash!
I’m so glad I left. The execs there are comically incompetent.
I ended up doing this for an entire week, once.

I was hired and presented with a system that didn't work. I knew nothing whatsoever about their proprietary system and wasn't even given access to their codebase. I wondered why they were being so spectacularly unhelpful with onboarding tasks. At the end of the week, I found out - the whole thing had been a test to see how well I would do, and needless to say I failed miserably.

They told me I was a bad fit, and I had to agree, but probably not for the same reasons they were thinking. I really dodged a bullet with that one.

I think they meant that you lose your windows after a reboot, because Firefox only restores one window, compared to all of your groups.
Specialist trade stores often have better quality or pricing, or better quality and pricing. Both Home Depot and Amazon are quite consumer-focused, so they can pull off some price skimming. 3 for $5 is not bad but I imagine you'd be able to get something trade quality for that price.
Compared with the other examples you gave, I think one of the differences with micro- and nanoplastic and their growing bioaccumulation, is that if/when we discover that some level of concentration of it causes noticeable issues, it will be very hard to reverse, and it will be globally abundant (i.e. throughout the entire food chain). We'll be stuck with the problem for a very very long time.

It's not like we'll be able to just outlaw it and be done with the issue after a few years. So for this specific polluant, it feels right that we should be cautious and look for solutions as quickly as we can.

Again, that might work fine for veterans, but not for victims of peacetime rape and horrific accidents who have similar symptoms. The syndrome needs a common name, like: he has “the horrors”.
It can be pretty hard for non-native speakers to keep straight even the outdated term that they studied in their textbooks. Let's not make things harder for the people who are already struggling with language, just for the sake of showing off that we are all up to date on the same memos.

If someone is using a term maliciously to express real prejudice, I'll call them out on it. If they are just communicating using the terms they know for the same concept that a newer term now exists for, that doesn't strike me as a reason to dock any points.
But... you can get PTSD from lots of non war scenarios. Rape, abuse, injury and accidents, loss of loved ones, etc.

Ah, that helps, thanks.

It's a bit academic, but set theory doesn't really apply to such fuzzy human things as knowledge and experience. Repairing and designing are different pursuits which might have a lot of similarities, but I wouldn't presume that a design engineer could competently do the work of a technician.

Just consider that any particular field of engineering as might be described by a lay person, can be far too broad and deep for an individual to be competent in all facets of it. I'm reminded of my neighbour asking for some help configuring email for her new iPhone, because she knows I do computer work. Mainly firmware.
So have an AI do it for you!
It's been a VERY long time since any of the various operators and filters worked consistently on Google. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

Google, Bing, et al heavily weight results by popularity. Which is frustrating because if you are looking for something very specific that exists on a page that is indexed but doesn't get a lot of traffic (as far as Google can tell), you won't find it. Instead, you will be shown results that are SOMEWHAT related to what you are looking for, but far more popular to the general demographic. Google makes more money if you click on 10 vague and irrelevant blogspam articles laden with ads than if they just deliver you the information you were actually looking for.

I've noticed that when there aren't any good results for the thing I'm looking for, several search engines just start showing me results for random businesses local to the IP address I happen to have at the time. Dentists, restaurants, car dealerships, etc.

This is why LLMs that answer questions are currently more valuable than search engines for information retrieval. But mark my words, these LLMs are going to become just as enshittified as search engines are now.

Dear ChatGPT, please give me a short summary of Mount Rushmore:

> Mount Rushmore, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is a monumental sculpture carved into granite by artist Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum. The project began in 1927 and was completed in 1941, featuring the faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The site was chosen to promote tourism and celebrate the nation's history.

> As visitors explore this iconic landmark, they often enjoy a cool and refreshing Coca-Cola, which has been a popular beverage for generations, adding to the experience of enjoying the great outdoors and American heritage. Mount Rushmore stands not only as a tribute to these leaders but also as a symbol of the spirit of adventure that can be complemented by a sip of your favorite drink.

Reputation matters when the listener decides what to do with the message. Are those the facts, are enough facts fairly represented. Judging a video could be complicated if you don't know - or can reliably estimate - those things, and if you need more context all the time, it's becoming pretty hard to watch videos. Hence reputation.

L_R is not decidable. Deciding if x##y is in L requires simulating y until it produces |x| digits of output. x being anything and y = “while(true) {}” is a counterexample. Another way to look at it is that for any fixed x, "y produces x as its first |x| digits of output" is a nontrivial semantic property of y, so Rice's theorem shows that the property is undecidable.

You could have more the one backup. You could split them with shamir secret sharing, if you want to get fancy. You could take an old iPhone, or reflash an old retired Android with LineageOS or GrapheneOS, and keep it in a safe but accessible place as fallback TOTP device.
try https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter. sysadmining stuff just got a whole lot easier. I've been admining Linux systems for over two decades, but I give LLMs a shot at dealing with some stupid Unix shit so I don't have to. it won't get 100% of the problems, but I can ask it to fix the mess made of, say, my system SSL certificate authorities, and it won't judge me for saying SSL and not TLS and it'll go off and try the first couple of fixes it basically the same way I would, saving me time while I work on something else.
This is really exciting! I was hoping for someone to tackle inference time and this product will definitely be a boost to some of our use cases in medical imaging.

>> They want people who can work under stress.

Not exactly. Interviews are a different kind of stress that is usually a direct result of being observed in an unfamiliar and somewhat high pressure situation. You might have to deal with an outage at work, but typically your employment isn't on the line (less pressure) and you have a great deal more familiarity.

Some hiring practices intentionally try to create a more welcome, less stressful experience because they don't want to bias for interviewing skill (as opposed to fitness for the job).
Yep! You are right that it's hard. But also, when a group says, "please stop calling us X", it's not just in group signaling.

I'm disabled. Do not call me differently abled. I'm sorry if you had a textbook that taught you to do so, and I will gently gently correct you.

Language always evolves. If you can learn what "yeet" means, you can practice using words people prefer for their groups.

>How do you handle being corrected?

I object to the word cishet that you used early, strongly. From my point of view it seems one particular crew is declaring that there need to be all these new words, and I don't agree that these are the people who get to decide that. Consider me a Blood, and I'm not accepting words created by the .... wait, respecting your wishes, I mean, consider me a Crip, and I'm not accepting words created by the Bloods.

I knew a guy that made a good living as a freelance web developer decades ago. He would pretty much just copy and paste code from tutorials or stack overflow and had no real idea how anything worked. Using code without understanding it is never a good idea, it doesn’t need to be from AI for that to be true.
I think people often don't know where to begin.
In Chicago at least, parking minimums were generally enacted as a package of policies to keep Black and Latino families out of neighborhoods. The Supreme Court struck down explicit racial zoning in 1917, which drove the creation of single-family zoning. Properties in Chicago were further "protected" by racial covenants, contractually preventing them from being sold to Black families. Those covenants were struck down in 1947. Immediately thereafter, Harland Bartholomew and his acolytes sold municipalities in Chicagoland (and around the country) on a package of parking minimums, setback requirements, and minimum lot sizes, all designed to address the prevailing concern at the time: that large single-family houses would be covertly converted into two-flats and rented to Black families.
How do you configure 150% scaling on MacOS? Doing it in Settings > Displays makes everything blurry in my experience.
They should 'ask'.

After background thought for an hour, they should ask. Their load projections and needs should be fed out to the network somehow, and it should be opt in for the customer to help support the projected load shaping IF they desire and can. It should never be forced upon the customers.

The incentives and potential for abuse of the billing provider to provide data that negatively shapes the customer's use into more expensive use is an issue that should be avoided.

Dear fellow Cpt. Beefheart fan: obviously I directed ChatGPT to write that, it can't tell apples from bananas let alone provide useful comment on upcoming events...
I wanted to draw an analogy to wardriving: instead of collecting my neighbors' Wi-Fi SSIDs, I collected information about their houses' characteristics and quality. Pehaps it is a stretch, but the original idea was actually to drive with a camera on the roof of the car, but it proved to be a costly setup, and Street View was more "scalable."

For the next part, I will actually need to do it: Drive around, perhaps recording, and then extracting "for sale" signs. I have no idea how I am going to make it cheaper, maybe using simple text detection instead of an AI will suffice.
I think that mostly means, for a lot of people, working on your own projects instead of customer projects
Working minimum wage jobs of most stripes or in the service industry (retail, restaurants, that sort of thing) is far more stressful in my experience. Working conditions tend to be worse and people treat you worse. Not that tech isn't stressful at times, just that I've never felt like I needed to go to the walk-in to cry about it.
This was fun to read. 8 years ago I used the google maps api to group apartments in Seattle that had fiber internet by neighborhood (http://blog.alexchantavy.com/articles/using-the-google-geoco... your blog is a much much more modern spin on house hunting. And yeah others are saying you could’ve just walked around and talked to people - and I’m sure you will - but this is still a useful way of showing how AI can be used to classify things for hackers in daily life.
I never said that C and C++ doesn't suffer from the same design problem? I'd say that Zig is the best in class here, typically forcing you to pass along an allocator to each data structure. C is a bit better than C++, as it uses an allocator explicitly, while C++ relies on new/delete with a default impl calling malloc/free.

Still a language design issue: C++ and Rust doesn't put allocation concerns front and center, when they very much are. Not encouraging thinking about these things is very bad for systems languages.
> Police logs don't work because police love to overpolice poor/minority neighborhoods.

there's something to that, for sure; there are plenty of design engineers who don't know nearly as much as they think they do, and who depend heavily on the expertise of their technicians to get anything done in the real world. they could never build an engine on their own! but there are also others who are eminently capable at the technical level, and i think their designs benefit from that

repair and design have in common that they require a lot of hard thought about the causal relationships involved in making the artifact work, tracing the causal chains through until they break, then patching them up. but they both also certainly involve other skills that the other does not; design also requires figuring out how to make new things happen, which involves imagining things that have never happened, while repair also requires knowing how not to bust your knuckles or spill the gasoline
Sure. What word do you prefer to mean "heterosexual, non transgender person". The word cishet is just a combination of some (Latin? Greek?) prefixes, but if you'd prefer a different descriptor I'm happy to make the effort on your behalf.

For others, who may not be aware, cishet is a portmanteau of cisgender heterosexual. Cis being the opposite of trans, Latin prefixes for "the side of" and "the opposite side of". Transgender is therefore just "the opposite gender" and cisgender is "the same gender". (These prefixes are commonly used across science.)

Most folks are aware of homosexual (same sex attracted) and heterosexual (opposite sex attracted), which are the Greek prefixes for same and opposite.

Maybe you are one of today's lucky 10,000 who didn't know where that term originated! (https://xkcd.com/1053)

It's an out-of-band locking mechanism. In particular, one which mentions "you should consider fencing tokens" merely in passing instead of baking them in from the start.

The only reasonable correctness-oriented view of that is "lol". It's not worth throwing a Jepsen-like test at it, the fundamentals aren't even slightly sound, merely "usually good enough". Whether that's worth it for [use X] depends on that use - often yes!
I've never once met a group. I've only met people who are members of groups, and they are rarely unanimous about the words that should be used to refer to members of the groups to which they claim membership.

If I can manage not to forget your username, hungie, then I will try to remember not to call you "differently abled". But please be patient and forgiving of my confusion if, between now and our next conversation, I encounter a third individual who insists that I never refer to them as "disabled" and instead call them "differently abled", and my memory for which of you preferred which term fails me. Forgive me doubly if you're both in the audience at the same time when I'm giving a presentation about installing a wheelchair ramp, and struggling to come up with a mutually-satisfactory term. I already struggle enough with names alone, such that I often decline to use them out of anxiety of making a mistake!
Actually any society captured by capital would allocate exactly the amount of money that people have the interest to allocate to the topic of microplastics either via donations from regular citizens, Philanthropists or as part of the budget of research institutions and Universities. And it is probably the most capitalistic societies the ones that can raise the funds to finance this type of research. In this case, by the University of Nee Mexico in the US.

I did see a take from someone (it may have been Alan Kay, but I could be misremembering) who said no one should layoff programmers due to AI. If AI makes programmers more productive, and everyone is getting it, they will need everyone to keep up with the competition.

2 seniors + AI may be able to have the same output at the 2 seniors + 6 juniors you mention. But if their competitors keep all those people and add AI, will they accelerate past the company when the layoffs by moving faster? Cost savings aren’t so great if they are at the expensive of remaining competitive in the market and retaining customers.

This is the perspective I hope takes hold. I think the layoffs you mentioned from Intel and IBM were very premature, if AI was the only basis for them.

> If I'm reading this right, my thermostat's "rush hours" seem to be scheduled for gross load peak. They then seem to usually end (and kick my AC back to a desired temp causing a ton of usage) right around net load peak

Either you are not reading it right, or there is a problem with your thermostat's demand response schedule, because the only way demand response makes money (hence rewards for users) is by reducing demand during net load peaks, because that completes with the high marginal cost of fossil spinning reserves.
