Then this is to misunderstand the customer. Administration in universities is a service to the teaching and research faculties (or departments, names vary). It's these faculties which bring in the money, which produce the results.

As a result, universities rarely make decisions like corporations, where the CEO decides and everyone in the organisation toes the line. A policy like this is made by consultation with stakeholders, extensive and ongoing. As the article describes, this takes years even in a small university like MIT.

It's simply not within the power of the negotiators to reach a decision outside that policy: they'd be ignored by the university faculties, who would then make their own individual arrangements, and the funds available to the negotiators would not be agreed to (and far worse outcomes are possible, efforts by 'the administration' to make decisions against consensus are a common reason for the head of a university to be sacked). If the negotiators genuinely can't reach agreement, then negotiations have to be suspended, the progress reported to many interested parties within the university, and then a new consensus reached about the negotiation parameters.

Now no two universities are the same, and the degree of centralisation varies. But I hope this helps you understand that the 'policy' referred to in this article was itself the result of years of negotiation, and "you can change them at any time; they are your choices" doesn't describe the situation.

"in some form" is doing a lot of work there.

The problem is that, by the standards of most human beings, they are in fact doing what we informally call "inference" or "creating new things".

That this is being accomplished by something that is "technically a fancy autocomplete" doesn't seem to matter practically... it's still doing all this useful and surprising stuff.
Also, given the possible context of wartime, the most basic "make the ship go" controls absolutely need to be understandable and usable by a concussed one-armed half-blind ensign who just got on board yesterday... because, sometimes, that's what happens.
Yup, and the hard part for many folks in the US right now is that in many areas of the US, their other freedoms (and wealth) are being taken away, using the ‘bait’ of gun rights to distract them from it.

And in other areas, the same thing, but using the bait of reproductive rights.

While those nominally ‘protecting’ those rights actually sabotage them in often subtle ways, while blaming the opposition.

Perhaps such as it ever was? It’s hard to not yell ‘wake up sheeple!’ at the end of that.
It has helped, at the cost of making me more dependent on the assistants
100% this - Cursor's new inline multi-file editing with claude is staggeringly good. And it's _so_ new still.
If you want peace, you have to be prepared for war. Otherwise, those who did prepare for war can do whatever they want to you and your country.
Maybe. Maybe it would lead to other games being played though.

For example, now that the right has the supreme court, it has claimed a lot of extra power over regulatory agencies, elections and even congress. This effectively makes a right wing body the final arbiter; and end run over attempts to get the system working honestly.

I believe reform needs to be a lot more hands on to get things back on track.
I would hope that they’re in IA on purpose. It would be exceptionally lame if NYT didn’t let their articles be archived by the Internet’s best and most definitive archive. It would be scary to me if they had only been allowing IA archiving because they were too stupid to know about it.

That stopped being true in the late 90's/early 2000's when HID headlights entered the market, and the standard was further updated a few years ago (after a decade's delay) to allow for adaptive-shape headlights (ie ones that can control the shape of the high beam, for example to still provide high beams, but not in areas occupied by oncoming traffic.)
Wasn't it true that for a long time that cheaper cars were just less safe than more expensive cars?

While the article complains about cars one challenge is simply the government's ability to reasonably operate transit - this includes things like keeping anti-social riders off it, keeping it quasi-pleasant to ride / safe / on time / not ruinously expensive.
I know some good software engineers at GM, but it’s simply not a place that attracts top tier talent.

Why work at GM, as a second rate employee (physical engineering is first tier) for much lower than what you make at basically any tech company.
FWIW, I've mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I'm in healthcare. SSO (and MFA) have only really become hot topics in the past 5 years or so.

In the past? People with enough weight would absolutely blow right past implementing SSO if it was slowing them down or adding to their cost.

These days it's a hard requirement for us: if it's not SSO it doesn't go into the environment. That's becoming the norm across the industry.

This is one of those very, very rare cases where healthcare is probably ahead of the curve relative to a lot of other industries. Consequence of being highly targeted by attacks and insurers starting to get very particular about how the ship is run.
My favourite thing to do for "coding" interviews is to give the candidate a piece of absolutely awful python code that a friend of mine came up with for use for interviews.

There are code smells, side effects, errors, confusing syntax, a whole slew of things in it. I give them the code, tell them I'll help with every bit of python syntax (and really emphasise that I don't mark people down _at all_ for any lack of familiarity with python / python syntax), and ask them to work through the code and do a code review.

There's some python specific quirks that I largely consider bonus points at best, but anyone with any appreciable familiarity with at least one language should be able to spot a number of things. As they call stuff out, I'll dig in (or not) as seems appropriate.

So far it seems to be working out great for me as an interviewer. Candidates seem to be way less stressed than they are with a "whiteboard coding" exercise. Good discussions are showing me their development skills, etc.
Those are quite nice, and so much more fluid than I would have imagined.
"any other take is frankly disingenuous" - come on now, you're basically saying "I'm right and anyone who disagrees with me is just wrong". Not really top notch argumentation there.

Many have said that the US military adventurism and support for 3rd world despots has made the world a more dangerous place. I think there's plenty of room to debate such ideas instead of discarding such dialogue so rashly.
The amount of money and budget that a company has can vary wildly. Just because your company uses SSO doesn't mean you're a Fortune 500.

Of course this mostly means that if your required feature set falls into the "Contact us for pricing" tier then you're going to have to talk to a sales rep (probably several, from different vendors so you have a competitive quote) instead of getting any kind transparent pricing.
What’s wrong with RSS? Half the people hooked on social media could replace their never ending feed of suggestions with a few RSS feeds that would let them stay up to date without spend hours scrolling through nonsense.

RSS should be used more, not less.
The military doesn't really have the autonomy to reduce their own mission set. The major missions in terms of maintaining certain capabilities or protecting against certain adversaries are assigned by Congress and the President. The military then has to figure out how to execute within a budget that, while enormous in absolute terms, is still inadequate for everything they're tasked to do. There is no political will to fix this problem.
That probably was true... and then we raised the baseline.
What if the competitor offers 150% or more? Then is 100% a fair deal?
I keep getting older and my desire to live with greater density grows stronger, not weaker. I've recently been able to buy a house, and I just wish I could have gotten one even closer to the city than I did.

This patronizing "they'll grow out of it" is a self fulfilling prophecy when suburbanism is the only option.

To give a concrete example of the apocalyptic talk you mention: We aren't going to be able to do this forever, there isn't enough land. Sure it worked for a couple dozen years while the USA built new highways and sold off it's now-close-enough-for-commuting land, but that time is running out. We can kick the can down the road, but the interest in what's borrowed will come due, though probably in a monetary collapse not a social one. After all, who doesn't want a private island all their own (if they can afford it, and it's maintenance)?

But let's say we can kick the can down the road forever, or functionally forever. Even in that world, for those of us that only want a 1500sq/ft house and a nearby corner store, can we please make that just a possibility? Like, legally? Similarly, can we get some legislative support for 3 or 4 bedroom apartments since as it stands they feel incredibly rare...

The suburbs have a lot of appeal, can we please also build other things at all, sometimes?

That’s a mistake I see too many people make. They try to solve a problem and build a product from afar, using their imagination or trying to copy an existing product without having personal relationships with people having that problem (or without having it themselves). I guess it’s possible to create a product first and then find people who need it and iterate from there, but I’ve found that having personal relationships and then making something in response to a common problem they have is the only way to start and grow. That’s what I’ve found “talk to users” actually means.
Quick fix is pull the AI. Or minimum rip out any links it provides. If it needs to link it can refer to the slack message that has the necessary info, which could still be harmful (non AI problem there) but cannot exfil like this.
In addition to what other commenters said, Clear Linux goes all the way but you can get somewhat there with CachyOS. It's Arch with compiler optimizations and targets CPUs with AVX2 and newer.
For LOVR (Lua based 3D/VR framework), I found these LLMs pretty much useless, both ChatGPT and Claude. Seems all is trained on old APIs, so it takes quite a bit of effort to make any suggestions work with newest LOVR version.

Generic RV32I code is comically bad, since it doesn't even have things like hardware multiply.

Regardless, I was wrong about the way RISC-V options work on LLVM and it's fine; I was under the impression from "I'm of the opinion that the lack of arm-like -mcpu=<core>+<optional stuff>+no<disabled stuff> equivalent for RISC-V is a good thing" in the linked discussion that a new processor type was necessary to enable even basic extensions, but it turns out that `-march=rvi20u32_mac` also works - it takes a profile name followed by extensions.
Mixed bag, IME. Some vendors will work with you, some stick to their guns.

Either way, it's a surefire way for a potential vendor to automatically get lower priority from me as a potential buyer. Needing to haggle over what is, for us, a baseline security feature starts things off on the wrong foot.
Regulatory agencies have power which they were never granted, and the supreme court correctly found that if the executive branch is not granted power to do something (e.g. pass de-facto laws) they they cannot do that. This is a constitutional position, not a partisan position.

If we want laws then we get congress to pass laws. This is how our system works. Congress' dysfunction is not an excuse to end-run around our system, it's a reason to fix congress.
Its presence implies that the company both is capable of and is overcharging the people coerced into the higher price tier.

"Overcharging" is a concept without a precise meaning. The SSO-capable version has a feature that cost money to build and support. That it is sold at a higher price (often alongside other enterprise features that cost money to build and support) is not proof that they are overcharging.

Any company that is tying to recoup the costs of building those features will charge the customers that use those features. The existence of a price differential between the 2 editions does not tell you whether they are overcharging.

Yes, but variable-blocksize DCT is definitely used in the lossy modes (not sure about lossless).
I’ve been watching a lot of these war game simulations https://youtu.be/vSnbbifpiLw?si=d-ymKHwfnwdKoGOL. They have a lot of limitations to them, and they’re engineered to be entertaining first and foremost (it is YouTube), but they can be very informative too about the state of naval warfare. Some things I’ve learned from watching these:

1) Shooting down anti-ship missiles is very doable, even hypersonic and stealth missiles. A naval carrier group is pretty much invulnerable to any single weapon that exists today. However, they do have a limit to how many defensive SAMs they can carry. So firing hundreds of anti-ship missiles will overwhelm their defenses and eventually sink that $15 billion carrier with 4,000 people on board.
2) The British Navy’s upcoming strategy seems to be using large numbers of small anti-ship missiles that use AI to target critical systems of the ships they target (rather than just trying to sink the ship). This actually looks like it should be really effective since they can disable enemy ships or at least exhaust the defenders’ defenses before firing ship-killers at them.

Another thing I want to note: we really really really don’t want to go to war with China, and China doesn’t want that either. I think China would only try to take Taiwan if they knew two things: 1) they could take and hold Taiwan 2) they could exact such a heavy toll on American forces trying to defend Taiwan that the US would not want to get involved. Taking Taiwan is probably not worth it if the US fights. China needs to convince the US it’s not worth defending Taiwan. It is a form of Prisoner’s Dilemma.

Where I am in Europe almost all the 'trucks' used by construction and road repair crews are Mercedes Sprinter or similar with a bed at the back and fold down sides. Usually they have a higher load rating which requires a C license (equivalent of CDL), but some can be driven on a standard car license (max gross weight 3.5t).

If you need construction materials delivered, this can accommodate almost anything. However usually for things like a stack of drywall, you would order a truck with a crane - simply because it's quicker to unload. For personal use the answer is simply to get a trailer. Here a lot of gas stations rent trailers by the hour for a reasonable fee, so it's very easy.

RVs also fit into this category. Most of them are under 3.5t, so you just need a standard car license. Some larger B class variants (which I guess in the US would still be considered small) need a C license. Caravans (travel trailers) are designed to be ok to tow on a standard car license, but in some countries you need extra training. Larger RVs don't make much sense here, as you won't be able to go anywhere with them.

People who have boats either leave them docked, or have boats that fit on a trailer that can be towed by a standard car. Nothing special needed. Same for cars, just put them on a trailer and drive away. Professionals often use car carrier variants of the Mercedes Sprinter et al, which can carry one or two cars, and another towed behind.
I'm not moving the goalposts at all. A fisheye lens is normal on any backup camera. My statement that you quoted is literally correct: you cannot see a small child lying down directly in front of your rear bumper, in any car. Why you're trying to disprove this, I have no idea.
Copilot was surprisingly one of the worst AI products I’ve used. It keeps suggesting nonsense and the insertions it does in VSCode often mess up very basic things like it starts writing things in the wrong place (or adds a function inside another function) and the result doesn’t even compile. It also seems to have zero understanding of the codebase apart from maybe a few lines before and after. Incredible that this is being sold as a real product at this point
> My favorite example is that everyone knows that Texas State Capitol is taller than United States Capitol (92.24m vs 88m)... But nobody will ever tell you that Texas State Capitol is only 6th tallest state capitol.

I guessed Nebraska, but was wrong. It’s Louisiana. Both finished in 1932, oddly.

The Texas State Capitol wasn’t the tallest state capitol finished in 1888 - that would have been Illinois - but it certainly was the largest. Indiana also finished their capitol in 1888, but was the shortest of the three. Weird how they seem to bunch up, as if there is some sort of “let’s build a capitol!” movement that takes hold from time to time.

Not all slack workspace users are a neat set of employees from one organisation. People use Slack for public stuff for example open source. Also private slacks may invite other guests from other companies. And finally the hacker may have accessed an employees account and now has a potential way to get the a root password or other valuable info.
It’s an anti-ship missile. Firing at a warship has the least chance of collateral damage of any target I can think of.

This describes reality in Houston, and I do not get the impression that you’d like Houston at all.
Sure. If you have a couple of short outages in a year and say 2% of your customers view the website during that time, half quit and never come back over it, that's it. You've lost 1% of your customers.

You seem to be stating that any loss at all no matter how small is a complete disaster without really qualifying it. Yet one could easily make the point - well, what about the customers you don't serve at all because they want to buy a rucksack and you don't sell them? That number could be far higher than the ones affected by outages.

I think this probably just depends on how big the numbers are to be honest. Yes, if 1% of people are millions of dollars, then sure, we care. Usually it's not anything close to being like that.
macOS says "“Zen Browser.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin." :(
I agree that the cheer leading for military products strikes me as disconcerting.

But let's keep this in perspective. A cheap anti-ship missile available in large quantities has a very focused purpose in the near term: to deter China from an invasion of Taiwan. Such a prospect would be tremendously bad for the entire world, and turning Taiwan into a missile toting equivalent of a porcupine might be worth it if it prevents such a disastrous invasion.
I came to the comments to see if it was just me. Dark gray on black seemed bad it had to be a rendering issue, but at the same time, background color and color seem like the CSS that would always work.

Housing is more expensive. Gas and groceries, too. Anything you can buy online costs the same as anywhere else. We moved to the Bay Area from Nebraska and my base salary is literally 5x my total comp there. That means I only have to work 1/5th as long to get anything I can find on Amazon. A new car is a fifth as much. Netflix is a fifth the price.

In some important ways, CA is very expensive. In others, its ludicrously cheap.

I feel the exact same way. I have felt 0 need to use an LLM in my current workflow. If I could explain concisely what my problem is in English - then I would already know the answer. In that case why would I be asking AI the question. And I don't want opinionated answers to subjective questions. Why run that through a filter, I can investigate better myself through links on the internet.

By the way - I think AI or ML whatever has some valid uses right now. but mostly in image processing domain - so like recognizing shapes in some bounded domain OK yea. Generative image - NOT bad but theres always this "AI GLOW" to each image. Something is always off. Its some neat tools but a race to the bottom and mostly users want to generate explicit content lets be real. and they will become increasingly more creative and obtuse to get around the guards. nothing is stopping you from entering the * industry and making tons off money. but that industry is always doing good.

a friend recently suggested to use AI to generate generic icons for my game. Thats a really good use case. but does that radically change the current economy?

Someone with 2 previous DUIs on their record hit a car while extremely drunk, fled the scene, and ended up in a fight with a police officer who tracked them down. They still have their driver's license. There's a lot of space between where we are now and the death penalty for damaging a few plants.
