You’re basically validating my original point if I am reading your comment correctly. You absolutely cannot avoid conflict but there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. Simple, direct feedback that speaks to behaviors not character is very important.

To your point about being in the trenches I think maybe you’re extrapolating too much from that. Any manager who is any good is of course right there alongside their team in said trenches.
Would it be easier if only the lowest bits of the index contributed to the "entropy"? Like if the 2^16th UUID was the one right after the first and n + 2^16 was the one after the nth. You wouldn't notice the pattern but it'd be easier for the computer to handle. I guess if you were searching for a substring you might notice the ones surrounding the matches look almost the same from match to match...

> In the past, quality of life was terrible compared to modern life but fertility was not an issue.

not sure which "past" you're referring to, but in agricultural societies, more kids was important to survival and quality of life, as you needed hands on the farm; also, the child mortality rate was much higher so you had to have more kids to start with; that was also pre-birth control -- as soon as that was introduced the birth rate started to fall tremendously
Has anyone seen how these constraints affect the quality of the output out of the LLM?

OK, but are they going to take that time off?

I mean technically they have 5 day work weeks now, but Japanese "salarymen" are notorious for working 80 hours weeks. (Though maybe this isn't the case for government workers)

Just getting people down to working 40 hours / week would be a huge improvement in QOL.

My favorite of these was a trick where someone picked a card out of a deck and then Teller revealed a large version of that same card in an unexpected area in the vicinity, It turns out that what he had done was hide a complete set of large cards in the area before the trick and memorized the location of every one of them so, e.g., the king of hearts would be at the top of a palm tree, the three of spades under a drink tray, etc.

None of the resumes are real anyway. You can type garbage online projects to close the gaps. After work, you can still go home and study for 3-5 hours per day.

I think there is an aspect of foreign interference that Americans might be particularly blind to.

Namely, we are engaging in foreign interference towards any country that uses our social media (Mysterious Twitter X, Facebook, Youtube, et al.). Japan's online discourse lives and breathes Mysterious Twitter X, for example. We definitely influence and interfere in their domestic affairs whether anyone likes it or not.

If the sanctity(?) of domestic-only electoral will is paramount, it stands to reason that any and all social media should be legally barred from crossing borders regardless if that even makes internet sense.

> As an individual contributor (IC), your work spoke for itself; people could easily see it. Plain and simple. As a manager, it’s less black and white, and surprisingly, for many new managers, part of your job now involves managing how others see you.

This doesn't only apply to managers. Even as an individual software engineer, the more you move up (if moving up is something that matters to you), the more you have to play politics.

Your work can't possibly "speak for itself", since the people it's speaking to (the managers with power over your career) don't speak code.
TBH, it doesn't look like it's spurring much discussion about the engineering ethics angle.
Eh there are a ton of other downsides. By their nature, high-throughput charging stations with lots of curb cuts are bad for walkability, eyes on the street, etc. that people want in their neighborhoods. For example many cities now ban new drive throughs.

Meta spent a record $7.6 million on lobbying the federal government in the first quarter of 2024, which is the same time Congress was advancing legislation that could ban TikTok.

So...yeah.

What I'd do is extract all the deepest-level content by conventional means (XSL or a standalone parser) and pass those into an LLM one by one. It would be easier for an LLM to tell if a given string is an ISO-formatted date, for instance, than attempting to identify the entire schema at once. You might not even need the LLM if you use type inference libraries and the schema isn't too exotic.

Having used the results so far to annotate the original elements and attributes with their types, you could then pass a generated, simplified XML document into the LLM. So where the original document has real data, you can start replacing it with simple data that conforms to the same structure and data type. If the LLM is still confused, try giving it just the structure which you've identified with no actual data within the elements and attributes, only type annotations.

TL;DR: a depth-first approach and then building up from there will work better than giving everything to an LLM all at once. They are only clever thematic Markov chains after all.

Fascists will say till they are blue in the face that you are violating their rights in order to get power, and will claim to support those rights right up until they get power. And then? Freedom of What now? To the gulag with you!

They're basically partnering with an existing hardware manufacturer (Banana Pi), and using their existing storefront for the other products. That happens to be AliExpress because the kind of people purchasing the existing products don't mind it.

Makes way more sense then OpenWRT spinning up a new team just to manage the storefront for the single product that isn't core to what they're doing. This way they don't even need to manage inventory.

Here's the YouGov survey if anyone is interested [1]. A lot of people do indeed not have a lot of savings:

> One in 10 consumers do not have any savings (12%) while a slightly higher percentage of consumers say they have less than $100 in their savings account (14%). A further 13% of Americans say they have between $1,000 and $4,999 in savings. Altogether, that means that half of all Americans have less than $5,000 to fall back on.

The weird thing is that some of these lncRNA don’t seem to be under super strong selection pressure, at least at the level of individual nucleotides. Their promoter regions are conserved, which indicates that the cell really does need to produce them, but it doesn’t seem to care much the actual sequence. Very strange.

Anyways there definitely are non-coding regions that just don’t do much and evolve neutrally. I’m hesitant to call them junk but only because that designation has burned biologists so many times.
There is de-facto anything wrt anything. All it means is "as good as" or "might as well be" or "no different from" or "in effect" etc.

If no one is publishing a copy of something with an open license, then that is the definition of de-facto closed.

de-facto means what is the reality vs what is the theory.

In theory you can get a copy because it has a license that says so.

In reality you can not get a copy because you are not one of the people with physical access to some existing copy.

It is de-facto closed while that set of facts is true.

I am from Pakistan. At least in South Asia, there are english characters everywhere because the infrastructure is primarily designed for the rich english-speaking classes, while the poor are left behind. A serious political problem.

I have seen many non-english speaking people interact with computers in English, both poor people and old folks in rich families who don't know English. They kinda recognize the shape of words, or they go by icons. They don't actually know the meaning of anything. They can only do a limited set of pre-memorized actions. Scamming them is easy. If they get stuck, they need to beg someone to help them.
