It is all about the numbers you like, it seems. Developers sell too, a good % of successful software is created and marketed by a single person.

Well CS departments are rarely staffed by people who are interested in building actual software (if they were, they could just work in industry making significantly more money), and HR software is probably the worst vertical for a bunch of kids with no experience working in.
>> I still struggle to see how this ends up favorable for Tesla in the long run.

This will allow the rest of the charging infrastructure to become Tesla compatible. That may reduce the load on Teslas network, which they only built so their EVs could go cross country.
That is very true, but for now we have a baseline of videos that we either remember or that we remember key details of, like the persons in the video. I'm pretty sure if I watch The Primeagen or Tom Scott today, that they are real. Ask me in year, I might not be so sure anymore.
I was semi-retired two years ago and decided to do a LPN program to work part time, do something physical, something that felt like a moral win and good for society.

I would have had no problem intellectually getting through the program but quit after the first night in a hospital.

Anyone sitting at a desk can not understand how tough and miserable a nursing job is. Everyone is basically miserable and stressed out. The work is completely thankless, disgusting and dangerous with personal liability on the line if you make a mistake. Everything that we take for granted in an office setting just doesn't apply in a medical setting.

I eventually just went back to a bullshit project management job, for more money than a nurse of course. This is obviously part of the problem.

It is easy to complain about the system when it is someone else who has to help grandma to the bathroom. There is no easy solution for any of this given the demographics. It is basically a disaster.
Is accidentally stumbling across the unknown a key part of science?
Since the year 2000 every time the Fed has begun rate cuts, the economy was just about to start a recession. The cuts were very fast after the first one in each of these cases. I guess it might be a really good time to start buying bonds if you expect this pattern to continue. This is the 4th time they have begun rate cuts after a time of raising rates since 2000.

15g of explosives is sufficient, probably, based on the analysis I’ve seen.

15g of explosives is not very big.

The speaker is another potential home, that is a good point. Big cone and heavy magnetics.

This display weighs 15g, and uses cheap glass and old liquid crystal:
https://www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfag12864u3nfhe11-128x6...

Would someone be able to make one that worked but weighed eg five grams, then fill the rest with explosive? Would anyone be able to discern that the back of the glass wasn’t liquid crystal but explosive, especially as they are usually taped over?
You use approximately 100W, that's like a solar power of 0.1m^2(11sqft). But plant's have a 1% of efficiency, and they only work during the day, so you need like 20m^2(220sqft), assuming ideal conditions, no fungus or pests, ...

So you need a big garden for everyone, or if the plan is to buy an apartment and remove the ceiling (or cultivate in the roof), you need like 2 "farm" rooms per person.

While PTFE (Teflon) is resistant to many chemicals that would damage borosilicate glass, borosilicate glass is perfectly safe in contact with food.

Borosilicate glass is much more resistant to acids (except hydrogen fluoride) than to alkalis, but most foods are acidic or neutral, none are alkaline.

Of the materials commonly encountered, the safest for food contact are borosilicate glass, normal glass, commercially-pure titanium and stainless steel.

> the implication that US politicians are on board with Israel because of some perceived threat of danger to their lives is absurd

No, sorry if that's what it sounded like. No, my argument was a little more subtle: if these are the tricks Israel employs to deal blows to its enemies, imagine those it uses to ensure the vital support it needs. If it can plant literal explosive in its enemies electronics, do you think it refrains from hacking, wiretapping, manipulating and, if necessary, blackmailing those whose decisions count?

I love an unhinged AI. The recent model releases have been too tame.
I have no idea but to be sure it has been pretty bad since autumn of 2001 or thereabouts. That was when it began to tighten and most people began to feel it about midway through 2022 and certainly by late 2022. Most people I know aren't aggressively hiring or plan to and I think most are still bracing for some rough economic times ahead. Eventually though it will recover. Will it be now or a year or 4, who knows.

That's a lot of words to say "I discovered one spot in which you misspoke, and that means you must be a deliberate warmongering asshole"

But no matter how many words you use to say that, it will remain untrue.

I did not intend to create a false impression, imply any kind of propaganda, be dishonest, or anything else. Your implication is, frankly, insulting.

My contention is very simple: they targeted Hezbollah operatives, very clearly, and given this particular vulnerability could not really have targeted them any more specifically. These were devices that were owned by and used by Hezbollah operatives, regardless of their role in the organization. Civilians did not use these devices, and the intent was not to harm any civilians.

The end. I'm done playing your games, as I believe I have stated my position very clearly, and at this point you are intentionally missing the point solely to argue some misguided other point about moral relativism.

Have a lovely week.

I've worked in academia. I've worked in small, medium and large private companies and fortune 50 companies, and I've worked for small and large govt.

I have yet to see anything bigger than a small company run efficiently, and that's by necessity more than anything. The largest wastes of money I've seen were fortune 50/large enterprise companies yet people constantly point to gov and academia as the most wasteful.

My current job is a cycle of hype waves the executives and ceo buy into and oversell to customers in impossible timelines, the inevitable smack of reality when neither CEO nor customers are happy with the over-promised and under-delivered results, and the move to the next wave to capture more customers to replace the ones attriting because the result doesn't match the requirements despite waht they were told.

The actual users of our product seem to split fairly evenly on love or hate our products with good reasons while their executives and spending managers are almost comically willing to fork over more money over for little to no real benefits. There is very much "No one was fired for buying IBM" mentality in the corporate world, this seems like another example.

I think you are missing the point: there is pretty much no money to be made with peertube. It's just people using their own bandwidth and time to host and make videos they want to see.

Because there is no monetization angle to peertube aside from donations. But whatever, youtube was great before monetization so I figure there is no need for these kinds of filmmakers in the long run.
Yes, as an individual you do. But you're not a network of universities with 250,000 students a year that NEEDS the system to work.

That was not a conflict within a state. No one expected the US military to attack ISIS members within the US- that is clearly a police and judicial matter (and was thankfully treated as such).
It's not an EU wide thing, it depends on the country - but quite a few countries now have laws that effectively allow you to work where you choose, putting the burden on employers to prove why you need to be in the office.

Also the worker protection laws in the EU are not that strong. If you feel you are unfairly dismissed you find a lawyer and take the case to an employment tribunal, and if that doesn't work, to court. All of this of course takes a long time and is expensive. And the actual payouts if you win are not that great (half a years salary if you are lucky).
Having worked for NY gov agencies for 7+ years, it's not that hard to believe really. Vendors overcharge crazy amounts all the time and get away with it without the gov client batting an eye. Experienced it first hand where I was on several projects where I did, without exaggeration, 95% of the work and my employer at the time charged $500,000 for one project and for another $750,000 in a single fiscal year.

Sure, it wasn't $600 million (seems like that $600 million to Oracle had to of been spread out too), but the work was simply formatting their website content from an old template in their busted CMS (pretty sure it was some ancient HP CMS) in HTML and had to write some minor CSS and some minor JS. I ended up automating it locally and then the rest of the time was spent copying and pasting through this convoluted process due to having to connect to their outdated locked down remote desktop with a super slow connection. Additionally, I was only being paid under 6 figures at the time and it took much less time than they were quoted for, though my employer sat on their hands to make it seem like it took that much time.

But yeah what the agencies were charged was unjustified irl... but on paper it was, they didn't push back on it or anything, and the cost of completing the projects was wayyy the hell less than what my employer at the time quoted them for. My assumption is they dont push back due to budgets not rolling over and wanting to maintain/increase their dept's annual budget. So it's not surprising they'd throw away that amount over the course of some years.
Why not, um... stop using it?

I never did much with Twitter until I took over the Carolina Code Conference, but it's been by far the easiest place to engage with different tech communities. Just the "Follow All" button that appears after I follow something like Gleam or Roc is hugely helpful.

Hezbollah is not a mobile device distribution organization. From my understanding they bought these to avoid Israeli tracking for their own people. No civilian doctor would use these pagers but there are medics working for Hezbollah like any militia/army.

Due to the nature of the devices I doubt it's physically possible to verify every explosion. Just like you can't verify it with a bomb or even a bullet. It's tragic that civilians are hurt but that would happen in any case when there's a war.

Hezbollah themselves bootstrapped a phone in the past. They also recently fired on a football field and killed 12 children. Then they hide in tunnels while leaving the general populace of Lebanon to deal with the wrath of the war that they started while they keep shelling the northern part of Israel. These parts of Israel and Lebanon are abandoned now because of their war. For once, they actually got some consequences for their own actions.

Was it 100% perfect and surgical?

Hell no. Nothing ever is, that's fantasy land. But it's about the closest thing that you can get to an ideal attack in these specific circumstances. The fact that the attack produced less than 1% in casualties shows the concern for collateral damage in this situation.
I love this model… It said "Hello, how can I help you?" and I paused, and before I could answer it said "It's really hard. My job is taking up so much of my time, and I don' know when I' going to have a break from all the stress. I just feel like I'm being pulled in a million different directions and there are no enough hours in the day to get everything done. I feel like I'm always on the brink of burning out."
The inconvenient truth is our economy/way of life doesn't work with high interest rates anymore. Everything is over-leveraged and the future has been loaned out 1000 times over. Interest rates can't stay above inflation or the house of cards falls over.

Raising interest rates was never really the fix to begin with IMO (and the fed admitted as much too), more taxes were, especially at the top end. But congress can't be bothered to do that, so the fed had to act with the tools it had available.

Maybe they realized Mastodon has no real migration from one instance to another, ant that it's been a criticized limitation since 2019.

Edit : people answering my message probably think as I did that Mastodon enables messages migration (your posts), but no. The "fediverse" doesn't allow you to migrate your posts with your profile migration. It's like keeping your android contacts but losing all your photos. Well more precisely, they're on this old hard drive, you can't show them to your friends and the hard drive can disappear anytime.

My conscience was pricked when they killed probably 40,000 people in Palestine, so this extra 3,000 casualties is just more deaths from a terrorist state.
I agree that researchers usually don’t need to worry about software engineering because their code is often simple, used only for one paper, and intended for personal use. But for large-scale research involving multiple researchers, users, and datasets, software engineering mindset can be beneficial in the long term.

Actually really impressive. They went up from 7T tokens to 18T tokens. Curious to see how they perform after finetuning.
Ah, I see - thank you for the clarification!

Israel undoubtedly surveils US citizens; but as a counterpoint, the US also absolutely surveils Israel. Surveillance is a thing countries do to enemies and allies; it's just rarely talked about. But there have been plenty of public instances of it in the past.

Blackmail is less likely, since it's too easy for that to come out and an ally to have egg on its face, but using knowledge gained through surveillance to further their own gains? Absolutely.
> The EU is probably not going to be happy

Happiness is irrelevant, especially when it comes to geopolitics.

In the US, criticism of Israel is antagonistic to our Judeo-Christian values.

In the EU, criticism of Israel is tantamount to the rise of a Fourth Reich.

Germany, in particular, is scared shitless of this accusation, and will accept any and all actions by Israel. This is a country who can do no wrong, and will get away with whatever they feel like.

> This is going to create a lot of distrust in the international supply chain.

This reminds me of people who were legitimately shocked to learn about the Snowden disclosures. If you don't already know the supply chain is thoroughly poisoned, and has been for decades, there is no helping you.
Do you have a recipe or resource you can point me to? I'd love to try it.
>Nah, vision or not: political winds change and projects get killed. Being involved in an early program is exceptionally high risk: you need to start ramping to do the whole thing and you may get a good return on capital or a pittance.

Often, people wonder about the higher cost associated with government cobtract work. One does need to cost out those risks and include them in project costs.

"Elementary Economics"

Economics is not a science. We cannot execute the scientific method on Economics because we have no way to repeat and or establish controls needed to understand results.

Policy drove "elementary economics", and made it predictive. And the policy was driven by strong advocacy dressed up as real science too. That advocacy was produced by people of significant means wanting more and more control.

Change the policy, and we will see the Economics change too.

Fact is we gutted a lot of small to mid sized manufacturing, and with it went many strong opportunities for people to take advantage of. Those people require help to make it because the opportunities they did find, if they found them at all, do not pay enough to make it, or should they, the labor burden and often painful scheduling makes for tired people lacking often the means and energy required to build skill on their own.
Had Israel killed 15000 people when Hezbollah launched, I think it was 3000 rockets at civilians in an attempt to overwhelm Israel's iron dome defenses for civilians, during and immediately after Oct 7th, partnering with Hamas in ending the semi-peace that had been in place in order to kill the maximal amount if Israeli civilians/instill maximal fear? We are talking about those attacks on this thread about Lebanon.
Totally, but most IoT customers are not homelab hobbyists, so I think its defensible for IoT vendors to just hard code known good DNS in their devices instead of relying on broken ISP resolvers.

Related story, there was a period of time where my ISP's resolver that would replace hostnames with no DNS record with their own ad filled garbage page.

So you mistype google.com to foofle.com or something and instead of getting "host not found" you get... ads.

Disgusting behaviour IMO.
To continue playing the devil's advocate:

1. Experts can comment, but I think the value of multi person conversational data from forums is uniquely valuable and in short supply relative to just blogposts/news stories on the internet.

2. The absolute economic value of the entire corpus of Twitter is much more valuable than any single boatforum.com like website. So Twitter has a much more incentive to lock itself down than boatforum.com.
The university I was at had this amazing process for internal billing. Everything cost heaps and required entry in an arcane system. If you could do something inhouse, you were supposed to, either though the cost was astronomical. A $100k bit of software from an extra vendor was definitely $200k+ once the various IT departments (there were at least 4) had done their bit. There were managers all the way down and all were very important.
