Please be aware that your criticism has teeth too, you just don't feel the bite of them. You say I "should see" that criticism you receive on your papers, but I don't; it's delivered in private. Unlike the review comments you get from your peers, you are writing in public. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if your peer reviewer stood up after your conference keynote and told the audience that they'd rejected your paper five years ago, described your errors, and went on to say that nobody at this conference should be listening to you.
God's work. Simple process but didn't find a matching profile to apply - boring backend principal engineer with 10+ yoe.. will keep an eye though.
Would be interesting if they pay because they want those tools or if they pay because they fear rewriting some old tools using those languages.
Doesn't work well when you have a busy family life. I would argue that anyone doing 1200km a month is not a casual cyclist, and if you have a partner, they need to be fully onboard with your "hobby" time commitment for something like this to work.
My one hope for the next administration is that they crack down hard on this sort of thing and pursue comprehensive immigration reform. A company that relies on labor from people who don't even have permanent residency rights probably shouldn't exist, and yes, I'm including agriculture in that statement. We should have a points based system like Canada with some carve outs for lower skilled ag workers.
This must be a different google docs from the one I have to use. It sort of works if there's one primary writer and editor, and everyone is contributing small suggestions through that person, but it definitely doesn't work if there are two people modifying the same section of text.
I haven't seen this sort of work called AI Developer yet, but I may have missed the trend shift. Isn't the convention for this still to use the title of Machine Learning Engineer (MLE)?
Well yeah...the EU isn't just going to say "lol we're stealing money from the US". They are going to give themselves a fig leaf
Yes, someone called "Chris Painter", who could easily be a nice person, I suppose. Maybe the generic U.S. "non-offensive" male A.I. accent is based off his voice originally, and we're coming full circle?
Just a comment on the partisan language used.
> 12k/year =/= no money [...] live in a hut with no rent, you grow food, you've no kids, no mortgage, no car, etc, these all matter.

I agree that 12k goes a long way when you're a subsistence farmer, living alone in a collapsing hut in the middle of nowhere, with no health insurance.

Nonetheless, that's sounding a lot like poverty to me.
The colour screen have a much slower refresh than the others. The greyscale one I have takes less than a second with minimal flashing.
That is absolutely not the case: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IC.BUS.EASE.XQ

Yes, the legislative landscape changes - just because you had fists from before it became illegal to hit people it doesn't mean that you are entitled to do so.

Also: One should expect Facebook given 3 years to comply would be able to do so.
First, you need non or minimal commercial, low pressure spaces for casual social activities appealing to both genders: Low impact team sports like flag football, soccer/other football, ultimate frisbee, volleyball at parks or beaches. Dancing. Yoga. Cooking. Book clubs. Refuse and vegetation cleanup. Food banks and kitchens. Volunteer homebuilding. Public speaking practice groups. There are many, many choices but a person must focus and prioritize their time budget, perhaps often where they feel the most comfortable. There is nowhere in particular romance can or can't happen, but it certainly won't if they don't go out or if they go out seeking it with desperation.
America is a big country. There will always be someone capable of doing the job if you take price out of the equation.

What are you talking about? The dude made a full complete UX tailored for lawyers that has nothing to do with git for developers.
Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks to my first internship, where just about the only thing I liked about WP was that there was a key chord for inserting a section symbol, while Word didn't have that. I think some older lawyers told me they thought the only reason they still were on WP was because of that.
Modern games can just not include them!
Good point about the timescale.
That's called fair market compensation.
I built something like this about 13 or so years ago. a startup called contractual.ly - they got acquired by Coupa after I left.

I used the papertrail gem to track changes to the contract object and provided diffs and commenting and then allowing collection of digital signatures (Docusign was pretty new at the time so we rolled our own)

Well, Tim Cook was talking to Trump about EU legal issues. Trump made public statements about it.

One reason Meta and Google's stocks have not boomed after the election is they're seen as more liberal in Trump's circle.

Anyone ever wonder why there are very few far-right comedians?
TFA touches on the finding that highly intelligent students do not show a significant tendency to be more creative in their careers. Researchers on creativity doing historical surveys have observed that above average intelligence is not particularly correlated to significant creative achievements. The crucial factors are being at an auspicious confluence of ideas and being in a supportive social environment.
> By saving the versions of the files we sent for revision (think of the main branch), I could receive the version from other parties (kind of like feature branches), turn on Word changes, paste the complete content of the original, and we could visualize the difference.

IANAL, but this was a key step for me as well. If you maintain copies of the versions sent out (and modified copies sent back), you can always get a clean diff of the copy sent out versus the copy sent back, or of an earlier version versus a subsequent revision.

The compare/combine tools in Word aren't great, but they are functional. Kind of like a local maximum, I suppose.
Now, to be fair that is partly the result of the left-wing coalition imploding (as usual… sigh) and being generally unwilling to compromise. It turns out that when you don’t have a majority, being the biggest party does not matter that much if you are unpleasant enough to make the other parties rally against you. Yes, I am bitter.
I've tried taking meetings while on the bike and as soon as my HR gets above about 105 it becomes noticeable to the other party that I'm clearly doing something exertive. And even though my RHR is about 48-50, riding at 105bpm doesn't even get me into z2 so it's literally just "junk miles"... so I stopped. The joint risk of embarrassing myself + not actually being useful exercise was too much to justify it.
Yeah, a black and white version would probably have been fine. Somewhat frustratingly they don't seem to have a 7 inch greyscale one though, only colour versions! Maybe they used to but stopped selling them?

EDIT: posted this before I noticed harpastrum's comment
No, but I imagine it'll pop up somewhere given everyone who records and shares his stuff. I was going to clip it at the time but my screen capture software decided to spontaneously update and demand money for the upgrade.
That's not what these licenses have come to mean. They're a way to reduce the risk that you'll get sued,

but not any "I don't give a fuck" statement.

You could add "I don't care about fixing security vulnerabilities" somewhere in the beginning of the readme, if you're developing security related OSS software? That'd be more clear.

Maybe the WTFPL actually a little bit indicates that the developers maybe don't give a fuck, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL ?

Harris outperformed Biden among only two demo groups[1]:

-College educated whites

Using actual throughput would be a nice improvement over using link speed. In this case, just detecting the current throughput is a tiny fraction of the link speed and falling back to another link would be a huge improvement.
Will future tech companies bother making their products available in the EU? Will it be worth it, or is just too big of a risk with uncertain outcomes?

Frankly, I don't see how anyone could really do z2 while fully concentrating on something else (work). z2 isn't "hard", but it's definitely more effort than just spinning.

Omg 80% of comments in this thread are so confidently wrong it’s insane. Fyi tp is actually doing everything by the book
So what would your opinion be if the US passed a similar law?
it’s ridiculous that a document formatting app/format is used for creation and storage of documents. especially for official ones that follow strict formatting protocol. all data that satisfies the protocol is just a record! just pop a json into a template-engine and you’re go.

It would be good to point out William Makis is a disgraced, long unlicensed (pre pandemic) physician and anti-vax grifter, a quack.
Quite telling he still claims affiliation with an institution he was terminated from nearly a decade ago.

He worked at a cancer center as a radiologist but continues to misrepresent his expertise as an oncologist. Real piece of work.
This may be the best use case for AI yet.

Note, though, that people with eating disorders can easily not feel hungry for days at a time for no reason or conversely never not feel hungry no matter how much they have eaten.

Some people with depression or C/PTSD can sleep 14+ hours a day and not feel rested.

Many people are so dysregulated that "listening to their bodies" and "embracing what is natural" are potentially self-destructive activities.

So, keep your own body's limitations in mind. If you are affected by something that has pushed you off the track, at the very least, be aware of it before you go charging full steam ahead.

Another thought: OpenAI has done a good enough job productizing ChatGPT with advanced voice mode and now also integrated web search. I don’t know if I would trust OpenAI with access to my Apple iCloud data, Google data, my private GitHub repositories, etc., but given their history of effective productization, they could be a multi-OS/platform contender.

Still, I would really prefer everything running under my own control.
Indeed. As with all things, "popular" and "good" are two very different qualities that aren't always correlated with each other.
I literally gave you a link to a ChatGPT session where it did what you said it can't do.

And rather than use that as a basis for claiming that it's reasoning, I'm also saying the test that you proposed and which I falsified, wasn't actually about reasoning.

Not sure what that would even be in a kook-aid themed metaphor in this case… "You said that drink was poisoned with something that would make our heads explode, Dave drank some and he's fine, but also poison doesn't do that and if the real poison is α-Amanitin we wouldn't even notice problems for at about a day"?
And they are still not even as bad as a lot of basically redundant modern pop with the deliberately atonal robovox, trap beats, and flat production.

You sound like a guy perfectly happy executing workouts directly in TrainerRoad! :D
Besides the fact that it's outrageous, I did truly enjoy the tidbit about the group lead literally having cited your research.

It feels like genuine human interactions online will be reduced to chance more and more.
This would be great in engineering for specifications and such. We have product lifecycle management software to track document revisions and handle approvals but it doesn't integrate with .docx files, it just stores them. You have to download files manually and diff them in Word or Beyond Compare for redlines.
That is the funniest thing I have read in a very long time.
Purely depends on the ability for a culture that values leaving options open in the future develops or not.

Young companies tend to have systems that are small enough or with institutional knowledge to pivot when needed and tend to have small teams with good lines of communication that allow for as shared purpose and values.

Architectural erosion is a long tailed problem typically.

Large legacy companies that can avoid architectural erosion do better than some startups who don't actively target maintainability, but it tends to require stronger commitment from Leadership than most orgs can maintain.

In my experience most large companies confuse the need to maintain adaptability with a need to impose silly policies that are applied irrespective of the long term impacts.

Integration and disintegration drivers are too fluid, context sensitive, and long term for prescription at a central layer.

The possibility mythical Amazon API edict is an example where focusing on separation and product focus could work, with high costs if you never get to the scale where it pays off.

The runways and guardrails concept seems to be a good thing in the clients I have worked for.
>Users often don't know how to communicate what they need.

No, quite the opposite. Too often developers tell users what the developers think they need with little to no understanding of what the users really want, which is the parent comment's point.
The labor market test is usually required to upgrade to an employment-based green card from a H-1B, though, hence the frequent confusion.
My friend, you have eaten the onion.
For Facebook for sure, as they are eating the lunch of local medias by being able to serve smaller advertisers with more targeted campaigns.
> For example, in a city, only the mayor and its advisers are elected, and they do not have any control over the administration of the city. But the administration cannot refuse to work with a specific mayor.

The mayor can still dictate policy and the administration have to implement it if it is not illegal, right?
> Did the original offer include shutting down Infowars?

That was part of the SH families' lawyer final argument to the jury.

Sure. But there's not much a civil lawsuit can ask outside of damages and reparations.
There is no crisis, only slow learners finally realizing why the (A)GPL exists.
Going from carts to CDs, so much more storage. I've got a great collection of retro (at least from my childhood) games going and PS1 is my favourite, got a big stack
This isn't even remotely what happened here. Similar to the case where Apple was fined, Meta had years to comply with the new regulations — they simply chose not to and put their fingers in their ears instead. It's naive to think Meta didn't know it was breaking the law, they simply hoped they could get away with a fine that was smaller than the profit made.
Well DLS is more relevant than ACM SIGPLAN, so you could leave out as much of the less relevant part until the more relevant part fits.

Update: I should note that I have published several papers at DLS. It is a great venue(1), but it just is not ACM SIGPLAN.

(1) or was. There was no DLS at this year's SPLASH.
We have people who frothed at the mouth over the role played by unelected bureaucrats now frothing at the mouth at proposals to remove the last hereditary Lords from our legislature...

(in fairness, those people tend to hate the Civil Service in the UK too. And they're elected hereditary Lords, albeit via a franchise consisting entirely of other hereditary Lords)
I am talking about DEMAND. Immigrants increase demand more than they increase supply. End of argument.
They employ a bunch of the smartest people in the world - who all probably want to do legal stuff. I am sure they can figure out what to do to follow the law in the jurisdictions they work in.
Indeed. That pattern was obvious even before the referendum. The UK is know for its strong civil servant body that can keep the ship afloat when the old chaps in the government have no clue which way is up. And its first past the post system. It is admirable on a lot of levels but certainly not any more democratic than the EU.
To be fair, TikTokers tell people to do all sorts of random crap against their owns interest. Neither nuance nor social skills can be learned, practiced, or mastered from the one-way consumption / viewing of short attention, span viral cat videos.

Free Beginner's Course in Hacking
Here is a free beginner course for any beginners in hacking and cybersecurity.

Earlier this year, I made a 3 hour course for beginners in hacking at a work-event. The following is a recreation of that as a series of Medium posts. The target audience is technical people, but you should be able to follow with very little technical expertise.
I already shared it a few other places and got a lot of positive feedback, so I hope the folks on here will enjoy it too

I imagine it will take a few hours to do, depending on how deep you dive into it and how knowledgeable you are in the topic beforehand.

Constructive criticism is welcome
Is Desalination Everywhere Realistic?
I guess I'm just lucky, because I've had one MSI and two ASUS boards with this setup without issues, I guess it isn't listed everywhere, my strategy of just buying boards hoping it works seems to be the way!

If zero risk purchases doesn't bring you peace of mind I recommend dual booting or running two rigs instead of using bleeding edge technology
AI-generated poetry indistinguishable from human-written, rated more favorably
Thoughts about pricing:

- the step up from free to paid is huge, and already needed if you have 4-5 users that log in every day

- your definition of "daily active user" is a bit tricky, as one user who logs in every day is counted as 31 users. The most common metric I know is monthly active users (users that log in at least once a month)

Is there any evidence H1B workers in tech have lowered wages?

I have only seen anecdotes while the law explicitly states H1Bs should be paid the prevailing wage or above.
AI has a different "tech debt" issue.

Because with AI you can turn any problem into a black box. You build a model, and call it "solved". But then reality hits ...
I think EU is just building Meta’s monopolistic moat. It creates a chilling effect on challenger tech companies who may not be able to pay these fines. And yet they still know they might be arbitrarily fined.

Oh the other hand, one might say — “don’t be monopolistic and you won’t have to pay the fines”. But does this stand up under scrutiny? But how does a company compete with a monopoly without having any monopolistic traits? Duopolies by definition are very close to monopolies.

It’s like the EU is saying “no one be like these guys, but please would someone compete with them for the sake of our market!”
the problem is the effort in figuring out who is legit in the first place.
This is not what the issue is about. The problem is that Meta is giving preference to their own ads over third party ads, not that the platforms reference one another.
Watched Theo research and talk about Bluesky yesterday while he prepped for a video. Was pretty cool to learn the history and the mission of the company.

It's way more important than just a social app. Happy to join and support it.

Love that its OSS and so easy to build locally.
Meh, it isn't really too far off from the way other DBMS servers handle storage and indexes. The principles are pretty identical (especially when sqlite operates in WAL mode).
> taxation on big American tech companies

And that's a bad thing how?
Stuff like this really make me wish people knew about computers. They could see endless gains from switching to something like LaTeX with Git version control. Sure, it would take a bit of time to train people on, but the productivity gains would be massive. The strangest thing is that everyone used to use computers that way. It seems that the creation of GUIs and WYSIWYG has greatly worsened the experience a lot of people have with a computer. I think the issue is that people select their tools based off what is easiest to learn, so there is a kind of local minima reached where most software today is very easy to operate but hugely inefficient for anyone who has to use it frequently.
I asked the AI to write me some code to get a list of all the objects in an S3 bucket. It returned some code that worked, it would no doubt be approved by most developers. But on further inspection I noticed that it would cause a bug if the bucket had more than 1000 objects because S3 only delivers 1000 max objects per request, and the API is paged, and the AI had no ability to understand this. So the AI's code would be buggy should the bucket contain more than 1000 objects, which is really, really easy to do with an S3 bucket.
> I'm highly sceptical of the idea that space mining will be an economically profitable activity in the near future and even more sceptical of the idea that nation states on Earth won't find a way to tax it.

The US has carefully preserved the interests of private space minining companies in international agreements about space.

Look up the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act of 2015, and the Artemis Accords as a start. Generally it's referred to as 'extraction', if you are searching. Here's a very good resource: [0]

The US delined to sign the Moon Agreement of 1984, at least in part because it designated the Moon (or some part) as the "common heritage of all mankind". The US objected because they said it contradicted free market principles. "Opponents of the Moon Treaty also expressed concerns that one of the goals of the agreement's proposed regulatory regime would be equitable sharing of benefits from lunar resources, as they worried this approach could disadvantage private sector initiatives."

Actually ubuntu and/or some cloud integrator is violating principle of least suprise, which predates by even more decades and applies everywhere not just in a computer operating system.

Having /etc/ssh/sshd_config not do what it appears to do is inexcusable, however that comes about.

Even if the fix is no more than structuring the file a little differently so there are parts both before and after the .d loading, and comments that say what overrides what, and all the actual config files and default behavior are still the same.
