It’s really a question of value what you have what you need and what you can learn with. For work where I already know Photoshop and work is willing to pay for it. That’s what I use - if I had to go my own way I would learn gimp.

The notion of these regimented promotions is ridiculous. The only reason anyone should be "promoted" is for generating value and the potential to generate even more value in their next position. This whole expecting a promotion, and employment in general, is not very dignified. No one should be promoted at all unless they are gunning for it.
Presumably you need to be connected to wifi to obtain games, so that's not a great answer.

I also found the scoreboards surprising. I wouldn't expect a Gameboy-like device to be reporting things back to a server. I don't have any particular privacy concerns about it myself, but it is surprising, and I can see why people might object.

It also seems to contradict their privacy policy (https://panic.com/privacy/):

Panic apps and products _do not_ send out _any_ private information. This includes

Usernames

But the scoreboard API seems like it's tied to usernames...

Products which aren’t subscriptions to begin with, so the company can’t hike the price from under them with little notice and leave them in a position where they’re forced to pay and bleed money every day they fail to find an alternative.
at-least-once/exactly-once/at-most-once delivery are all weirdly named from the wrong perspective. From the sender's perspective there are only two options: send once and send lots. Behold:

- you send a message

- you receive nothing back

- what now

There is no algorithm that lets you implement exactly-once delivery in the face of delivery instability. Either you don't resend and you implemented at-most-once, or you resend and you implemented at-least-once.

You might say, "but hey, the receiver of course sends acks or checkpoints; I'm not a total buffoon". Sure. Let's game that out:

- you send message 8

- you get an ack for message 7

- you receive no more acks

- what now

Every system you'll use that says it implements exactly-once implements send lots and has some mechanism to coalesce (i.e. make idempotent) duplicate messages.

Résumé: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charbel-abi-daher/ , https://github.com/CharbelAD

Email : abidahercharbel () gmail () com

Hello! I'm Charbel, an engineer specializing in Software and Artificial Intelligence (I have also studied Telecommunications and Electronics within my double degree program) graduating this month. I have exprience in software engineering, machine learning, and AI (mostly NLP but I have dabbled in computer vision as well). I am looking for new and interesting SWE or AI opportunities in France and Europe. I will require a visa sponsorship. Not all of my experience is reflected on my LinkedIn, there's a lot more than meets the eye. So if you're looking for a junior engineer with a ton of creativity and passion and multidisciplinary skills shoot me an email and we can discuss more over a phone call or a meeting!
Yet governments manage to act extraterritorially when its crimes they care about.
Yeah, I think my comment implied i'll cry and turn away if I see bad words. It was more like, i'm personally not a nazi and don't want to read their stuff and it appeared to be a nazi site. Why wouldn't farming, homesteading, homeschooling etc. just use reddit?
He actually did mention it if you look at the blog post his quote comes from. He's specifically calling for a Linux-ABI-compatible rust kernel that just re-implements things as they were rather than trying to delve into new researchy OS concepts like what Redox does.
> Comparing that with C, [the kernel] is now going through the process of moving from C89 to C11. Once moved to C11 is unlikely to move for quite some time.

Such conservatism is fine(?), but I think it really should serve some purpose. You think Rust code will change, such that... it will not be understandable? You don't actually say. Why should we be concerned?

> I am just stating that it is hard to know REALLY what Linus thinks about Rust.

Perhaps that's why it sounds so weird, to my ear, to fantasize about how he really feels beyond the concrete technical reasons he's offered.
Inflation is when prices go up. CEOs (loosely speaking) set prices.
This doesn't make sense to me. I'm just doing to poke at one aspect.

Imagine you are a Brazilian. The government will censor these speakers whatever they appear. If you favor this ruling you are agreeing with the statement "Yes, I trust the Brazilian government to be the one to determine what is misinformation and against democracy and to make action to prevent me from seeing it"

Twitter/Musk can not substantially change your access to information as there are many other sources. The government can.
Does anyone have any good recommended articles/reads about why exactly the US recovered quite spectacularly (GDP wise) after the ‘08 financial crisis, while the EU stagnated so heavily?
I guess I should go further and suggest actually exposing conditional probabilities & flow charts, which is essentially how a lot of GPs triage diagnosis.

If you have these additional symptoms, it rules out X, and conditional probabilities are now Z..

If you tried a warm compress/ibuprofen then it rules out Y and your now looking at these probabilities.

Etc.

Right now you google stuff and get a WebMD page with a list of stuff varying from "its nothing" to "its cancer" without a lot of color ..
I think this is a fair line. I don't want to mess with the tinkerers of the world, and to be clear I'm not even entirely opposed to this. I just think we do not put enough stock into discussing potentially damaging actions with creators.

Which is why so many writers and artists are upset at OpenAI and Anthropic right now.
Ohhhh this is soo cool!
I always wondered if my color perception is normal because sometimes i have the feeling that i do not have that much of saturation.

Still failed to find such a test but this goes into this direction.
Maybe this comment can help me with this search.
I love Center Parcs, it's great place to go with the family. But we always just bring our own food, pack our bikes on the car and usually eat out at one of the restaurants maybe once per stay as a special treat. I assumed most people did the same? The restaurants are hugely overpriced(imho).
>And if you need a second factor, I'm sure any smartphone-based TOTP will do

No, it won't, because TOTP doesn't protect against phishing, which remains a threat even if randomly-generated unique passwords are used. That's what U2F protects against, is phishing.
I would consider that mostly a feature. The situation where that is useful (you somehow lost the credentials for BMC, but have root access to the host) is in my experience significantly more common (I see that multiple times in a year) than attacker implanting stuff into the BMC firmware (never seen that).

Obviously if you rent out whole physical machines and automate the provisioning by IPMI, then the last thing you want is the customer having admin access to the BMC.

Dell iDRAC has an interesting feature that allows you to make all of the BMC configuration read-only which can only be disabled by factory resetting the iDRAC by means of physical (and IIRC not exactly documented) switch on the BMC board. (Well, it is still _i_DRAC as in “integrated”, but on current higher-end PowerEdges the iDRAC is separate OCP-like card, but well, the system does not work without it)

Summarization is one of those key functionalities of LLMs that laypeople can also easily understand and relate to.
I think this article also underpins the hunch that results in ROUGE and similar NLP benchmarks are not necessarily a guarantee for good performance in sector-specific summarization tasks, where the expectations are defined by human users for a specific domain.
It reminds me of the Stanford study on the use of LLMs for legal QA including the eye-wateringly expensive legal-specific LLMs:

You can also do shift+F10 when a windows install is starting up, then type in `OOBE\BYPASSNRO`. That reboots and allows you to continue without internet and only setting up a local account without needing an online one. Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft removes this eventually but I do this all the time when setting up new stations for my job.
The YubiKey is not the single answer for this problem. The right approach will depend on the specific needs of each user.

More importantly, MFA needs to be more widely adopted and the account recovery process needs to be hardened.
Hands up if you used a real weasel! Cute advertising imagery.

I depend on idrac. The newer one is bearable. The old Java was torrid.
> 1. Just buy when the price is low and random variation will move the price higher eventually (or short when the price is high).

1. How do you know when the price is high or low? The market can remain irrational for a very long time (longer than you can stay solvent).

2. You can easily lose money shorting when you're right. People do it all the time.
It’s quite plausible to me that they simply never bothered to build something to handle this extreme edge case. And frankly, if I was in charge I would probably agree.

The billing being slightly early seems like the only thing vimeo have done wrong here. Everything else is on the OP trying to game their system and screwing up. I don’t have much sympathy, to be honest.
How hacking Austria into Video Games could work
Analysts have spoken about the situation in Sudan over time and the Risks. The talk of a real critical famine being in effect is recent.

Just to be clear the famine is deliberately being caused by occupying g*nocidal Janjaweed army (the RSF), they are besieging towns across the region destroy to prevent food production, blocking supplies and trade.

Famine is always deliberate and caused by military and political decisions.

Consumers were marketed to -- i.e. tricked, brainwashed, hoodwinked, and scammed[1] -- into not wanting them so manufacturers could stop selling them and sell them SUVs in stead.

As I said when the recent AI craze started: In the end everybody wishes AI was just a magic wand that you wave at things and it somehow telepathically figures out what you wanted and then deliveres a better result than all well researched and tested methods before.

I said that because this was how I thought about certain technologies myself when I was young and naive. Every technology has it's limitations and applications where it absolutely shines. Us wishing that a piece of technology didn't had those limitations doesn't make it so. In fact given a wrong enough use case no amount of money will make a cetain technology work.
I think the short answer is stimulus and spending in the US vs. austerity in the EU.

And also labor laws and the red tape in company regulations.

c's macro system is weak on purpose, based on, i suspect, bad experiences with m6 and m4. i think they thought it was easier to debug things like ratfor, tmg, lex, and (much later) protoc, which generate code in a more imperative paradigm for which their existing debugging approaches worked

i can't say i think they were wholly wrong; paging through compiler error messages is not my favorite part of c++ templates. but i have a certain amount of affection for what used to be called gasp, the gas macro system, which i've programmed for example to compute jump offsets for compiling a custom bytecode. and i think m4 is really a pathological case; most hairy macro systems aren't even 10% as bad as m4, due to a combination of several tempting but wrong design decisions. lots of trauma resulted

so when they got a do-over they eliminated the preprocessor entirely in golang, and compensated with reflection, which makes debugging easier rather than harder

probably old hat to you, but i just learned last month how to use x-macros in the c preprocessor to automatically generate serialization and deserialization code for record types (speaking of cobol): http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/binmsg_cpp.c (aha, i see you're linking to a page that documents it)
Imo this is another big selling point of using tailwinds css. Those log stacks of classes become almost like UUIDs for markup that's discoverable from dev tools.

> If you can fit your problem in memory, it’s probably trivial.

A corollary: "in-memory is much bigger than you probably think it is."

I thought I knew what a large amount of RAM was, and then all the major clouds started offering 12TB VMs for SAP HANA.

edit: this seems like it's touched on very briefly with "Computers can do more than you think they can." but even that only talks about 24GB machines (admittedly in 2012, but still, I'm sure there were plenty of machines with 10x that amount of RAM back then)
“Price-gouged” is sort of a dog-whistle for me these days… most often when it is used it is a person complaining about a limited resource costing more when in high demand. It’s not always 100% that but usually leans heavily that way on the spectrum.
> One idea that might reduce the problem that the UK has would be to adopt the Polish system of dividing the country into four school regions with staggered holidays.

We're some of the way there - Scottish school terms run differently to England/Wales/NI (Scottish schools stopped and went back ~2 weeks earlier).
A lot of people certainly always did that, but now it feels like most people are. The restaurants have kept their high prices while seemingly losing most of their clientele. I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce cruise-style dining credits or something with the higher priced lodges to mitigate it.
But then you'll run the risks of your apps randomly breaking after OS upgrades. A simple Linux headers change can mess up apps installed via .deb files
Ideally there'd be some sort of ranking or scoring that would happen to sort by. FooQux(BarQuux) would seemingly rank much lower then FooBar when searching for FooBar or "Foo Bar" but might still be useful in results if ranked and displayed lower.

Except that's not a loophole since the estate will be taxed at the step-up basis. If you bought $20M in assets 25 years ago that are now worth $200M, the step-up occurs so you don't pay capital gains, but you still pay federal estate taxes which is roughly 40%. He hand waves it by talking about moving the assets to an irrevocable trust, but that action is a taxable event... The post is a LARP from a reddior.

It's just one measure of profitability. Is it a con to report a business's gross revenue? Hardly.

It has a useful meaning in its context. If you're going to value a business based on a single number, your problems can't be fixed by blaming the number.
In the us sometimes people do that because of an agricultural exemption to property taxes.
Easy != Informative.

Such review systems are trivially gamed, with exceedingly high incentives to do so.

One of the underappreciated benefits of an established retailier with limited suppliers and a centralised buying operation, as with traditional brick-and-mortar establishments (Harrods, Costco, Macy's, etc.) is that those establishments can set their own minimum standards and select merchandise which is highly likely to provide high value to the end customer. The notion that "choice is good" falls flat in the reality that uninformed choice over a range of intentionally insufficient products is not good, and is in fact a form of gambling with low payoffs.

Some retailers target high-end products (e.g., Harrods), some mid- or low-market (e.g., Costco). But by restricting upstream vendors, tracking satisfaction, and having their own testing and development of products or offerings, as well as return/warrantee programmes, they can assure a reasonable rate of satisfaction.

I'm also finding retailers who sell manifest crap (o hai any Samsung home appliances) can be eliminated from my own list of acceptable outlets for future purchases.

Feather? Legal. Whole bloody chicken? Pornography.
I do but with my own PK. The problem is if the box has run untrusted code prior to that you can't trust it anymore.

This is a bigger problem when you have a huge fleet of these already rather than my few servers in my home lab that I can manually enroll my own keys in.
Wondering if this was from US pressure because of Chinese EV creeping into the US via USMCA or Canada taking the initiative. Seems odd as they don't have much of a domestic auto industry and I was under the impression they had more favorable arrangements with China than the US.
I've never been to Center Parcs and have no plans to go, despite it looking pretty nice, because it is just eye-wateringly expensive. We can debate what 'price-gouging' means, but their prices are insanely high compared to other holiday options. Of course, they can do that. I just find it pretty astonishing that anyone ever goes there.
How do? It’s little money neither relative to metas income nor relative to anyone else?
Not wanting to be promoted is fine, but it does come at a cost because along with that extra responsibility you may also be sacrificing influence over the things you do care about. You can still have that influence through other ways, but it takes work and may involve all the things you were trying to avoid by not getting promoted.

N.B. I’m not saying that higher up ICs influence things by coming in and saying, “I am an IC6 and I think we should do it this way,” but they often have more opportunities to have the right conversations, and have hopefully learned good influencing skills along with technical skills.
Is that building?
Geolocation of a helicopter from reflection in sensor ball
No, I'm saying that's a false dichotomy.

Your senses get saturated by lies indistinguishable from reality regardless of where they come from. The price is already a factor of two from the income from a single impression of a paid advert, and is likely to decline further, and that's the market price for marginally influencing people.

If we as a species don't agree to make sure AI must never ever be developed in this manner, and to actually enforce that, then everyone will be living in someone's fantasy world.

Normal people won't have any choice, or control, regardless. Not even over which fantasy, as it gets created specifically for them.
Mmh, I type "func\ lart(" when I need the literal string. But it's less often, so it's fair that it's slightly more to type.
In USA:

Primary Additive Colors: Red, Green, Blue

Primary Subtractive Colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

But, before digital color displays became popular, the average person had, by far, mostly exposure to subtractive (paint) colors.

US school children are taught from birth that the primary subtractive colors are red, yellow, and blue, simply because those words are easier to pronounce, and so magenta is a weird "red" and cyan is a weird "blue" , until the children discover on their own, or in specialized print/paint schools, red and blue are not primary subtractive colors.

Humans are terrible at naming things.

And to bring it back to Current Thing:
Google AI cites this source for its red/yellow/blue claim, even though explicitly this source says that Google gives the wrong answer.

Those strategies for finishing projects are exactly why I’ve been running a six-week group[0] where we all work on our projects together.

Setting goals, time-boxing, accountability, celebrations — it’s all built in.

I’ve definitely found that during the 6 weeks that I find a laser focus on what I want to do and how I want to do it.

It adds a fence to the green field project, so to speak.

Highly recommend building alongside others, if you haven’t tried it yet.
