not that much happier, no, but it's non-zero. esp with commute time, arranging lunch outside the home, parking or public transportation costs, childcare costs and all sorts of other little expenses that just vanish when you can stay home. Plus a 4x10 schedule doesn't result in a pay cut the way going from 5x8 to 4x8 would. My mom worked 4x10 as a nurse my entire childhood and loved the extra day.
Not speaking from personal experience, but I've tried a lot of the decensored models and they lose a lot in the process. They are noticeably, sometimes shockingly, worse. They also still refuse prompts in many cases.
This is a great argument for individual retirement accounts rather than using the young to pay for the elderly. In the United States, if everyone's social security tax were put in an index fund, then everyone would be millionaires upon retirement.

There are solutions other than pleading with people to have more kids.
News is saying he used a B&T Station Six, it doesn't look like he's twisting to operate a Welrod action in the video to me. It looks like he's racking a slide. He doesn't hesitate like he discovers it's jammed after the first shot, he already goes to rack it because the subsonic cartridges he's using won't cycle the action with the (edit:) suppressor on without a Neilsen device.
If we are working on the basis of "it could have happened, therefore it did," Americans could have had a legitimate reaction to the war footage, and Romanians could have been frustrated with both major parties and voted for a spoiler candidate, therefore they did. :-)

The court must not have looked very hard.

"Let us be very clear: TikTok does not remove content based on sensitivities related to China. We have never been asked by the Chinese government to remove any content and we would not do so if asked. Period. Our US moderation team, which is led out of California, reviews content for adherence to our US policies – just like other US companies in our space. We are not influenced by any foreign government, including the Chinese government; TikTok does not operate in China, nor do we have any intention of doing so in the future."

https://newsroom.tiktok.com/en-us/statement-on-tiktoks-conte...

"58. Have members of the Chinese Communist Party, or other members of the Chinese
government, asked ByteDance or TikTok employees to heat content?

TikTok does not heat content in the U.S. at the request of any government, including the Chinese
Communist Party. TikTok may promote or "heat" specific content (including, e.g., promoting the
video of an artist who will be hosting a concert on TikTok Live) in line with company content
policies to support the inclusion of diverse and high-quality content on the platform. A content
operations team will review heating requests submitted by a limited number of cross-functional
partners with access to the heating request, and the Content Operations team will either approve
or reject the request based on their assessment of whether it follows the platform's best practices
in support of content diversity and quality (including, e.g., being engaging and meaningful and
focusing on timely/relevant content) and business objectives. An audit function, that is in the
process of being refined, will regularly review the heating request process to ensure internal
compliance with company policies. Even if the request is approved, increasing visibility or video
views ("VV") is not guaranteed as the recommendation system will not heat low quality content
(e.g, reposted or irrelevant content). Heating impacts less than 1% of VV in the US."

Same. My first development environment was FutureBASIC (not counting booting an Apple ][ into the ROM's AppleSoft). The compiler error messages usually showed the right line number, the content of the line, and the where in that line something was wrong. Sometimes the real error was one line away. Rarely was the error further away. It didn't fight me about whether a new line was actually a new line.

It never told me mostly useless stuff like C, which I was exposed to a few years later. Error messages in C-ish languages seemed like they could be summarised as "Syntax error on line 247. Additionally, you have errors on 3123 other lines.". Often, the real error was on some earlier line, pages away.

The following may seem shocking to people who got started with typical programming languages, but most IDEs after my experience with FutureBASIC felt more like "a loose arrangement of parts that kinda work together if you configure them just right", rather than an _integrated_ development _environment_. (-: …Just trying to get a build environment set up or reconfigured seemed error-prone and had its own cryptic error messages. With FB, I just copied the application/executable file wherever I wanted, and copied a small folder/directory of support files to the same location. I didn't have to worry about separate "linking" and "object files", or how to tell the editing environment where the compiler was before the environment would know what to do when I told it to compile
I don't like this. TikTok is certainly a national security threat and it should absolutely be heavily restricted via sweeping privacy regulation that applies to all US tech companies, however the government has failed to implement privacy regulation while allowing TikTok's unfettered growth. Consequently, it has allowed the platform to become the place for free speech and exchange of ideas by the country's youth, and hence this cold turkey removal is a direct assault on their freedom.

This decision could set a dangerous president, pulling us towards a future of authoritarianism where only government approved communication channels are permitted.
HubSpot to Acquire Frame AI, Unlocking the Power of Conversational Data with AI
Filing a bug report is only half of the work. The bug then has to be reproduced, fixed, tested, documented, and rolled out. Sometimes with a deadline.

If that sounds fun to you, I really cannot argue against it. Usually, that is part of a support contract, and therefore hobbyist open source developers basically supply free labor to for-profit companies.
Nice. I’ve added a few favourites just to keep track of them, you never know!

It would be great if there was an API because I’m working on an UI that needs UUID autocomplete. Thank you!
This is funny I like it. Basically just captures the scroll input and iterates through int128s and their UUIDs on a static page to fake a scroll. My feature request would be to add smooth scrolling.
You can sell it as an NFT. That way it is still unique but you can pass it along.

That... is not obvious at all.

When hospitals and supermarkets are being hit repeatedly by multiple "precision" munitions, and then (sometimes) the Russians post drone footage of the impacts because they just happened to have been watching that location, and when the Russians have also used video footage of strikes on Syrian hospitals to market the effectiveness of their munitions, it's not crazy to suggest that they engage in terror bombing tactics.
The problem isn't that companies are "afraid of not growing", or governments are "afraid to cut spending", it's that they've already signed off on paying back loans over the span of decades and were expecting to be able to pay off those loans with the value created by a growing population.

It's less about fear and more about economic realities.

From my understanding, hitmen in general are not what you see in movies or video games. Many of them are just everyday criminals that are willing to take on the job of murdering someone for shockingly low amounts of money.

I'm sure there are higher end and higher cost options, but I don't think every hitman out there is going to be as put together as the villain from a Bond or Bourne movie.
To whom? The legacy copper network probably has negative value at this point but AT&T is locked in by certain contracts and legal agreements (same for other legacy telcos). They would probably have to pay another company to take on those obligations.
The next logical step should be to jail these pesky bad voters. If they supported the candidate, whose crime was to campaign on TikTok, then they are clearly complicit in that crime and put the democracy in danger. May be they even use TikTok themselves!

I'm sure all this can be convincingly justified using the "paradox of tolerance" phrase.
A lot of Japanese videogames seem to be set in a sort of pseudo-post-apocalyptic sort of setting (Final Fantasy comes to mind), where it isn’t like… mad max raider stuff, but it is clear that society once was larger and more developed, and now things are diminished with some remnants. I’m wonder if their population dynamics inspired that.

The Japanese basically have "long-terminism" baked into their corporate bylaws.

The company I worked for, is a pretty "old-fashioned" one, so may no longer be representative of the standard, but it didn't matter who was in charge. All planning was done in 10/5/3/1 year process; with the goals getting "sharper," as you approached zero.

It was not particularly conducive to software development, but worked fairly well, for most of the stuff they made.

Indeed! My nanny does have kids of her own. So I would either pay her overtime or I would find additional childcare for the 5th day.

I'm just pointing this out because I hear "4 day workweek" talked about a lot, but it's never clear to me if folks mean that everyone is getting those 4 days, including childcare providers or teachers, and if that's actually what folks want. People in this thread talk about getting chores done, but I'm not getting any chores done if I'm taking care of my lil kids, I'm just getting an even messier house. :D
First of all, the main way Romanian elections work are based on manual counting of ballots, in the presence of representatives from all political parties and outside observers, filled in on paper forms signed by all who observed the count. Then all those paper forms are centralized at the district (județ) level, and then to the central electoral bureau. This is all done on hand, with paper forms, with numerous observers all along the process. There is a digital process based on scanning these paper forms, but that is only done to report partial results faster to the public (and the count only happens after the vote has ended everywhere in the country, so false information in the partial results can't influence other voters).

So, even if the digital systems had been entirely compromised and under Russian control, that wouldn't have mattered one iota for the final results. And even after all this, a full hand recount was carried out last week which found the same results, with very little difference and no doubt whatsoever that CG won more votes than any other candidate).

And even the news stories you shared, which are anyway irrelevant to the final paper results, have misunderstood what our authorities are saying. The part of the our secret services which handles the cybernetic parts of the election (named the STS, Special Tellecomunications Service) has been very explicit, both in public declarations and in the classified briefing they gave to the President, that there were no risks to the core infrastructure, and that checks have been made before, during, and after the elections to confirm this.
One of my previous jobs did just that: 10-hours days, 4 days a week. First as an experiment for a month. They found our that performance has grown across the board (engineering, sales, support, etc) and then made it permanent; everybody rejoiced.

It was so much easier since then.

Boomer here: at 25, I was living in a group house with three other men. I strongly suspect that men of 25 working at dead-end white collar jobs can still afford to share a group house.

"We're talking about specific outputs generated by the LLM, not the LLM itself. The training data consists of prior expressions of language which in turn may be influenced by human observations of reality, but the LLM is only ever making probabilistic inferences based on that second-order data"

You recognize that training data are influenced by human observations. And that LLM outputs are influenced by training data (and fine tuning). So it follows that LLM outputs are influenced by observations of the world. Why would the causality chain stop after 2 links?

https://chatgpt.com/share/67534483-8e6c-800f-9534-d764a90981...

You may call this a hallucination, but it is for sure based on observation. Otherwise the LLM wouldn't know the answer. It is undeniable that LLMs have empirical knowledge of the world through embedded human observation.
People choose to live in Tokyo. They tried to give a buttloads of incentives to move to the countryside, but few take them, because… city life is just easier, more convenient and more fun. But I still agree, it might affect it in a roundabout way.

When you live in a city, you have more opportunities to do anything else other than having children. Also, Japan’s fertility rate isn’t that much lower than Canadas. They just got to the problem earlier than anyone else, so trying to resolve it with any possible means. The biggest problem still continues though — there’s no real reason or incentive to have more than 2 children, other than “for the good of the society”. And women are less likely to sacrifice bare minimum of 6 years of their lives to give birth to 3 children. Especially when they can do… literally anything else.

Every educated girl friend of mine thinks exactly the same way as well. Some had a child or two, but more than that it’s just a burden to the couple. I’m obviously simplifying things, and once the third child is born, they’re loved and etc. But it’s going to be a very hard sell for anyone.
What's your point? Who said that going back in history solves today's problems?
Chome on Windows. Grab the right scroll bar and pull to the very bottom. Once at the bottom try to scroll down with mouse scroll wheel. Screen goes blank and the error appears in the console.
I think this is an overall good move, and very much support it, but many countries with better work-life balance and robust support for new parents still see declining birth rates....I can't help but think that a decline in fertility rates is as much about values -- what the point of life itself is, and how much it should be bound up in what we call the family -- as it is about the material conditions surrounding the act of child-rearing.
I do not agree, because IMO this exactly matches the profile of a someone disgruntled and willing and able to do the prep work.

What motivation would be more serious than e.g. losing a spouse or child etc. because of their bullshit...?

That's exactly the scenario I find not just most plausible, but draws from the largest pool from which stochastic terrorism is prone to emerge.

This is not meaningfully different from another mass shooting except for the nuance and specificity of the target.
> Surely your argument isn’t, “at this point, why bother to do anything?”

Surely if the effort exceeds the value of the outcome, then it shouldn't be done?
Could you give an example of what the motive could be then, and how the not-professional-but-sort-of-professional fits into this?

I had thought it was either (a) professional hit or (b) disgruntled family member.

Space combat in The Expanse kind of makes sense, assuming that you have magic engines that can accelerate you to something like 5% or 10% of light speed before running out of propellant.

The thing is that space is big. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers is a short range, and 50 km/s is a low speed. Missiles appear slow, because they use the same engine technology as ships, which limits the acceleration they can achieve. Reaching 50 km/s at 50g takes over 100 seconds and is obvious to everyone in the general area. Railgun speeds are inconsistent in the setting, but firing them is also obvious, and random course corrections are an effective defense against them.

Your freighter trick would not have worked. The acceleration would have taken days or even weeks, depending on what kind of acceleration the ship can handle. And it would have been obvious to everyone in the solar system. That would have been plenty of time to send a fleet (that can accelerate faster) to intercept it.
Sounds like you already know what to do!
You are absolutely wrong. They 100% target civilians - and FFS they will post videos of themselves doing it and brag about it on Telegram and Twitter.

Chechnya and the Syrian civil war were no different, but now there's video evidence and admissions of guilt all over the internet (and more than that, they laugh about firefighters and medics being blown up by drones and bombs), and yet still people deny it. It's nuts.

If you're saying this stuff, you're either not actually paying attention to the evidence or you're deliberately closing your eyes to it. It's that absurd.

The idea behind OASDI (Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance), more commonly known as Social Security, is not that you retire a millionaire.

It's the US government saying "since we are a wealthy nation, we will not let you spend your elderly years destitute."

That's it. That's literally all it is. It was meant to keep grandpa from being a burden on his family when he was too old to work, which in the 1930s meant when you were too old to do actual physical labor.

Since then the American public has seen it as a nice little bonus they get for living past 65 and has started stealing from younger generations in the form of sovereign debt in order to maintain that instead of treating it like the insurance policy it actually is.
Bird Flu isn't new - this is posturing to justify USDA existence under the coming DOGE microscope. No different then when layoffs are looming around the office, you start seeing people showing up on time and scheduling superfluous meetings on "Important Topics" in an effort to provide the illusion of value/leadership. I expect to see a lot of this in the coming months.

The first detection of this was in 1996 and in 2024 its now an emergency to start testing for. If this is a real issue, its safe to say the agency has ben derelict for some time in the intervening 28 years. Im not saying its a terrible idea on its face - I am saying the timing for this becoming an issue is suspiciously convenient.
