Well they asked for money, not "fixing the issue", which is not enforceable anyway without violating the 1st so that's not even a power the court has. Alex Jones will still be able to speak and profit from it, just not under the Infowars brand.
But arguably any labor shortage can be fixed by just having way higher wages.

Like if Google is struggling to hire L3 entry level engineers, can't they just offer $1 million/year salary? Then of course they will get the people they want.

To me, the point of H-1B and similar programs isn't "we can't get the individual staff we need". It's rather that at a society-wide level, having more software engineers at an overall lower salary can be more beneficial to the country than fewer engineers at a higher salary. And I feel that the success of Silicon Valley kind of shows this: if we didn't have any immigrants to the US, maybe the salaries would have been higher, but there is simply no chance SV would have reached the scale it has.
I remember a post on here a few years ago about someone who had tried doing this and failed. I don't remember the details but you may be able to find it if you search well.

My recollection of his takeaway was that lawyers actually didn't want a lot of the things git offered. For example, they always wanted to be using the latest version -- the abstraction of multiple branches where multiple people independently worked on things then merged them back together wasn't quite how most lawyers worked. And the other big thing was a network problem: a lawyer has to us microsoft office's version control because the opposing team is going to use it, so even if you use some better editor software it still has to be sent as a word file showing the tracked changes to the other side.

Let users know to to expect new posts, where to find updates moving forward, and explain to followers why they are leaving.

If I'm understanding this right, the author gave ChatGPT-4o 2000 reviews and asks it "Are you 90% sure that this is a ghost job". Then, the author used those as labeled examples, trained a BERT model to predict the ChatGPT decision, and then applied the BERT model to the rest of the dataset. I guess this is cool, but if the goal is to pinpoint some percentage of ghost jobs overall I'm very skeptical

(it's a bit disappointing that 200 comments into this thread there was only a single mention of either "BERT" or "ChatGPT" per ctrl-f)
>Saying "GitHub" is just a way of saying: "Show me what you've accomplished."

Do you actually think all development happens in public GitHub repos? Do you even think a majority does? Even a strong minority?

Across a number of enormous, well-known projects I've worked on, covering many thousands of contributors, including several very well known names, 0% of it exists in public Github repos. The overwhelming bulk of development is happening in the shadows.

If your "field" is "open source software", then sure. But if you're confused into thinking Github -- at least the tiny fraction that you can see -- is "the field" of software development or even just generally providing solutions, I can understand your weird belief about this.
Apple II (1977) did an early version of this; it essentially had purple and green addressable colors in each pixel. With both on in a single pixel you got white text, but could also leverage two adjacent pixels, one with purple and one with green, to produce a half-pixel offset that could produce a smoother diagonal line than typical fixed coordinates.

It would go to the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section, Civil Rights Division, USDOJ. I think they only take formal complaints from those who applied though (it is different from the regular EEOC process though--the government itself acts as the complainant). You could try just sending them an email.
The other side of this challenge is that the "technology" is mostly irrelevant for above-average applicants with solid CS chops.

I apply for lots of jobs featuring technologies I haven't used (beyond toy personal projects or something in college) because I have a long history of picking up new tools and being productive in weeks or months at most - because I understand the underlying semantics of the tool regardless of its presentation, syntax, etc.

Keyword scanners (and humans focused on keywords) are unable to hire me for roles where I haven't used the technology (much) before - and I guess that's fine and well as I am indistinguishable on paper from someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

Just presenting it as another part of the challenge of both finding good people and for good people finding good jobs.

If it was so terrible, why did it get played so often?

When I think "terrible", I think of the movie "The Room", which has been called the Citizen Kane of bad movies. It is truly awful. The dialog is awful. The acting is awful. There are all sorts of logical inconsistencies where things inextricably appear and disappear. By any metric it's bad. It's so bad that it has a cult following because it's so bad.

"We Built This City" just isn't anything like that.

Because every CI/ID provider has a different set of claims and behaviors that would constitute a "secure" policy for verification. If there was one singular way to do that then we could, but there isn't yet so PyPI needs to onboard providers piecemeal. The work to add a new provider is not massive, the reason there are not tons of providers isn't because the work is hard but rather because people are voting with their feet so Github and Gitlab make sense as initial providers to support.
> It's really not that difficult to show what you've accomplished if you claim to be in a field.

Actually it is incredibly difficult, because you no longer have access to your previous employers' code bases and even if you do, it is illegal for you to show it to anyone.

Perhaps also add a few of the providers you listed as well?

> The only reason it emphasizes GitHub Actions is because that's where the overwhelming majority of automatic publishing traffic comes from

GitHub being popular is a self-reinforcing process, if GitHub is your first class citizen for something as crucial as trusted publishing then projects on GitHub will see a higher adoption and become the de-facto "secure choice".
Name a prominent open source project created be and led by a woman.

Who created and contributes to linux kernel, python, c, c++, go, python, ruby, ruby on rails, php, wordpress, ghost, SumatraPDF, zig, oding, nim, nodejs, deno, bun.

I could just keep listing major open source projects because I literally cannot think of a single one created and led by a woman.

And if you find one, it still doesn't negate the 100 to 1 ratio.

Open source, unlike jobs, are pure meritocracy. A woman can create a GitHub account and start coding just as easily as a man. There are no gatekeepers and open source contributors / maintainers are abused by random people as a matter of course.

To me it's reality. To you, somehow, saying that out loud is bias.

And to be clear: I don't think there's anything preventing women from learning to code and contributing at a high level and I've known a few that do. But for some reason they overwhelmingly don't. The stats are brutal.

You misremembered.

[BT]P7 includes for compatibility: tiny (.COM), small, compact, medium, large, and large w/ overlays (which can use EMS when available). There are DPMI clients for [BT]P7 that make it possible to switch to protected mode and use more memory.

It definitely generated offset-only pointers in the tiny, small, and medium memory models because that's how they referred to data with the common DS segment. I did plenty of memory and instruction-level debugging in [BT] Profiler/Debugger and inspected plenty of pointers where they lived in RAM.
Apple wants to migrate away from C++, including code in the kernel, so they need a safe, low-overhead language.

Swift has originally been designed as an ObjC replacement, mostly for UI glue code, with conveniences more like a scripting language.

So now they're working on making Swift support more low-level low-overhead code.

> They are vaccines. > Okay they aren't vaccines they are mRNA, but we changed the definition of vaccine.

There's many different types of vaccines, you can invent new ones without changing the definition.

> They prevent you from contracting and spreading the virus. > Okay they don't prevent you from contracting the virus but they prevent you from spreading. > Okay they don't prevent you from spreading but they reduce symptoms.

They work on a specific strain of the virus, they're not effective against other strains. The whole point about quarantining, social distancing, masks, etc, is to lower the spread of a strain before it has a chance to mutate into a new one so a vaccine that targets it can be administrated to enough of the population so it can actually be effective in stopping its spread.

I think a lot of people unfamiliar with docx think of it as effectively the same thing as any other rich text format. Because of that, they assume converting it to other formats is trivial, not realizing that other formats support a small subset of the functionality docx does.

Definitely. Finance professionals, academic researchers, legislators, among many other professionals, encounter similar version control issues. We are currently focused on law because of our domain expertise and because the problem is particularly pronounced in the law.
1. nobody cares about Hunter's laptop. Even the GOP doesn't care, they just pretend to care for outrage, meaning it's just rage bait. Hunter Biden isn't related to anything to do with politics

2. Covid censorship. In case we've all forgotten, over 500,000 Americans died due to Covid. There was a lot of misinformation spread around Covid. This misinformation costs lives. Now, granted, it's not necessarily intentional misinformation because Covid was novel. So, our understanding was constantly changing. But telling people to, say, inject bleach or take horse tranquilizers is legitimately irresponsible.
The term AI engineer is now pretty well recognised in the field (https://www.latent.space/p/ai-engineer), and is very much not the same as an AI researcher (which would be involved in training and building new models). I'd expect an AI engineer to be primarily a software developer, but with an excellent understanding of how to implement, use and evaluate LLMs in a production environment, including skills like evaluation and fine-tuning. This is not some dataset you can just bundle in software developer.
Because the security benefit of Trusted Publishing via OIDC versus normal API tokens is marginal at small scales, in two senses:

1. The primary benefit of Trusted Publishing over a manual API token is knowing that the underlying OIDC IdP has an on-call staff, proper key management and rotation policies, etc. These can be guaranteed for GitHub, GitLab, etc., but they're harder to prove for one-off self-hosted CI setups. For the latter case, the user is no better off than they would be with a manual API token, which is still (and will always be) supported.

2. If the overwhelming majority of traffic comes from a single CI/CD provider, adding more code to support generic OIDC IdPs increases PyPI's attack surface for only marginal user benefit.

There also is no "open interface" for PyPI to really use here: this is all built on OIDC, but each OIDC provider needs to have its unique claims mapped to something intelligible by PyPI. That step requires thoughtful, manual, per-IdP consideration to avoid security issues.
> As opposed to the DoD, which strictly fights for freedom, liberty, and democracy?

Yes, the whataboutism is unwarranted here. The US government is no angel, but is far more constrained in this regard. The bar to become "the enemy of the state" is much higher - for example, your comment won't get you in trouble here. The US government also wouldn't, say, hack Spotify and snoop on their business plans to prop up a competing US startup - something that is commonplace with the Chinese intelligence apparatus.

"COVID-19 vaccination of the index case reduced infectiousness by 44% (95% CI, 27-57%), vaccination of the close contact reduced susceptibility by 69% (95% CI, 65-73%), and vaccination of both reduced transmissibility by 74% (95% CI, 70-78%) in social settings, suggesting some synergy of effects."

Overall, I think the dominant phenomenon here is people wanted to typecast floating-point data to boolean answers, the media did their best to accomodate that want, and almost nobody reads primary sources.
Yes, they are still used

- Encoder based models have much faster inference (are auto-regressive) and are smaller. They are great for applications where speed and efficiency are key.
- Most embedding models are BERT-based (see MTEB leaderboard). So widely used for retrieval.
- They are also used to filter data for pre-training decoder models. The Llama 3 authors used a quality classifier (DistilRoberta) to generate quality scores for documents. Something similar is done for FineWeb Edu

$600 a year would not be difficult.
The only remaining question being, why would you want to?
