> Does it mean that data hungry corporation like Google, Facebook, Amazon, openai with Microsoft backing, that are already all around the internet and our phone tracking us have an incredibly advantage over open source model?

Yes, absolutely. Back around 2017 The Economist had an article calling "data is the new oil", I first heard that from a VC back in 2010.

These companies are sitting on immense reserves of data, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Bytedance are the Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. of the information age.
> Aristarchus had come up with a heliocentric theory way back around 250 BC.

He notably did convincing calculations showing that the sun should be larger than Earth. However, this was not convincing enough for his opponents who argued notably that usually fire hardly remains in a fixed position. Also, if Earth was moving, it was hard to understand why there was no observed parallax on the stars at night. Actually, the first apparent proof that Earth was moving came after inventing instruments precise enough to observe parallax on far enough stars, in 1727, from James Bradley. It actually had different results from expectation, due to the finite speed of light [1].

Just after Aristarchus came also Seleucus of Seleucia [2]. He supposedly had a theoretical argument for heliocentrism, but it was lost.

Unicode opens a whole can of worms. World is already full of software which in theory supports non-ASCII texts but in practice breaks for some use cases. It's easy to allow UTF8, it's hard to test all possible use cases and to foresee them to know what to test. Nowadays I use mostly English so don't see localization bugs but when I used my native language with software/internet (~10y ago) I've encountered too many bugs and avoided using non-ASCII in things like usernames/password, file names and other places when utf-8 may be allowed but causes problems later. Just allowing UTF-8 is rarely enough. Localization is hard so better to start with places where it is important. Usernames IMHO not one of them.

I no longer take limitations seriously regarding the future of AI. If evolution created our brain, then the same law applies to what we are building also. Hence, more of less whatever written in this paper is some nuanced case which can be solved by some approach.
Stuff like that is pretty common in Eastern Europe, though. Combine very high levels of apathy and distrust with not very mature party systems plus all the corruption and incompetence (not that it’s that different in some Western European countries these days) and you regularly get random unknown guy/party winning just because they are an outsider and are promising to fix everything (e.g. Zelenskyy is probably the most extreme example of that)

Doesn't help that the average attitude of people here of mental health is that it doesn't exist.

If the code is in a repo that has been shared with other people and with a license file saying "All code in this repo is under MIT license", then the code is MIT licensed.
You can't come along later and say "I changed my mind" or "I made a mistake". Hard luck, be more careful next time.

The only exception would be if you ask the people whom it was shared with if they're ok with retroactively changing the license.
The "tagged" part is important. They are in fact not called "unions" in most languages, only C-derived languages. And in C, unions are untagged. Only later extensions added tagged union types. So I would contend that unqualified "union type" means an untagged union.
The articles from 370/2004 that you quoted contradict your thesis. They give the CCR specific power to decide to annul the specific election, and only if they find evidence of vote fraud " if the voting and the determination of the results have taken place by fraud of such a nature as to alter the allocation of the mandate or, as the case may be, the order of the candidates eligible to participate in the second round of voting". The court has already ruled in Tuesday based on this law, and they have explicitly found that no such fraud has taken place, and they have validated the results. And again, this only refers specifically to annuling one election, re-doing it the following Sunday, and only if vote fraud is identified.

The court yesterday decided to annull the entire electoral process, and not because of voter fraud, but strictly because of campaign finance violations. There is no such provision in that law or any other. The court did not "order that the second ballot be held on the second Sunday after the date on which the elections are annulled." - they ordered that the Government shall choose a new date, that candidates shall register a new etc. The next election will be, at the earliest, held in late February.

Also, article 2 was not followed in any way *. The current decision from the court was not based on any application to annul by any party whatsoever, the court convened of its own volition, based only on the declassified documents that appeared in the public sphere.

None of the other articles you quote give any such power. In fact, you'll see that the word "campaign" is not present anywhere in those articles. And yet the Court's decision is entirely based on problems they find related to said campaign.

* there was an application by two candidates to annull the first round of elections, those were investigated on Thursday and then Monday last week, and they were rejected. This new decision by the court is unrelated to that.
The project’s FAQ says that the original Rct2 is required; are there plans to also provide alternative assets, OpenTTD style?

There's a few issues; one is that if you have the DB do everything, all of your business logic lives there too, instead of just the data. This is still fine if you have a single use case, but what if in addition to your main application, you also need to use it for things like BI, customer service, analytics / predictions, etc? It then quickly becomes better to use it as a datastore and have another layer decide what to do with it.

And in 30 odd years, everything will be different again, but your company's main data store will not have moved as fast.

> You lose some money, but gain more family time and sanity. Having Friday to finish chores and being able to enjoy the weekend unstressed is huge

during my last job search i was thinking exactly the same. id' hapily give up the usual 10-15% pay rise i look for when hopping from one job to another, maybe even consider giving up a 5-15% in order to get a 4-days work week.

I'm not rich by any means, but right now in my life "more money" don't appeal to me that much but more free time certainly does.
I do agree, however from my experience some folk smart enough to build this kind of system will struggle in an interview situation. Maybe rather than outright cheating, this could be more of a leg-up for those who find interviews difficult. Still wouldn't use it myself.

Feels like in some sections of the US like big tech, the talent vetting process has evolved into some adversarial battle of attrition where the idea is to grind down the pool of candidates until only a few are left rather than find some potential new colleagues. Tools like this have emerged as a direct response to that process.

I think "tons of code and maintenance" is an exaggeration for this effect, once it's done you'll rarely have to come back to it.

I have an impression that people confuse learning English (which is hard unless you native language is a Germanic/Romance one) with learning to recognize and type Latin characters which is easy and people around the world already use Latin alphabet without knowing any English. You may escape Latin alphabet if you have spend a whole life in a remote village but for people living in cities around the world it should be familiar and not a barrier at all. It's hard to escape Latin characters in the modern world and this ship has already sailed like it or not (I mostly do).
I haven't done my research but I guess the idea is that only a small percent of plastics actually get recycled vs glass/paper/metals. Regardless of the existence of a plastics recycling process. I'm curious about how true this is. Ie see https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mXVjZjAple8&pp=ygUWcGxhc3RpYyB....

If it's true that most plastics can't get recycled then perhaps saying "plastics is a scam" is an untruth but a useful shortcut to express the idea that plastic recycling has been largely ineffective and should largely be dismissed in the calculus of environmental impact. Now I might be wrong about this but simply checking out wikipedia for that may be difficult no. One needs proper commentary and analysis not merely a list of facts?
I lol'ed at yap being print :)
I didn't read the paper, just the linked article, so maybe I don't get what the big revelation here is. Intuition is great as long as it is documented. If you're making a series of implicit decisions based on your prior experience and nobody else on your team knows that you've made them and what they are, it's actually a disaster waiting to happen when eventually a requirement changes and something needs to be rebuilt. That's why strong typing and TDD exists. Humans eventually make errors somewhere and it's a fact of life and these are the tools to help them make less errors and/or to catch them sooner.
I kind of regret not having started shooting raw earlier. Sometimes I want to print an old shot and my options are very limited by the profile applied by the camera. But back in the time, I tried raw, and it was too much hassle. Maybe now the shot I worry over wouldn't exist because when I'd stuck to raw I'd have given up the hobby entirely.

So the takeaway is to try things repeatedly and see what works. The article also argues in that direction. Though I think there's much nuance lost in how the article stays in the extremes. The camera I always have with me is not a cell phone but a proper digital camera that fits in my pocket. These are amazing!
You're demonstrating the exact point by showing that they have an ASCII name and an official one. If you're having a regular conversation with someone you're probably going to use Ivory Coast and not the French name.
How many C or C++ compilers are in wider use today?

Not really working in the area and did not research now, but I can come up with:

* gcc

* clang

* Microsoft probably has their own implementation

* Intel probably still has their own implementation

* ?

Edit: OpenVMS maybe, but not sure whether that qualifies for in wider use

Edit2: ARM of course
> we currently do not have the ability to have an LLM learn from another LLM

We do. It's called model distillation, and it's relatively straightforward.

In fact, training a smaller model on the outputs of a much bigger model will significantly cut down on your training time/create a higher quality model than just training on raw human data (which is often low quality and noisy).
I'm not looking to get into a legal debate about this, as I'm not a legal scholar. You stated something factually wrong and I pointed you to the paragraph of the law.

The court is the single highest authority on constitutional matters and can pretty much decide what they want to on these matters, as well as how they interpret the law, but this is the case with every high court everywhere and it boils down to "who watches the watchers?".
The recruitment process is broken.
I guess it's pretty subjective, but not all numeric types are signed, so I'm happy with my answer.
Rich people want to be seen, they want to show their wealth, their status and their power. What is the point of having money and power when you need to hide among the plebs? It is like breathing for them. You can willingly stop breathing for a while but eventually you need to inhale. And they are going to start brandishing their wealth and their status again.
In tech? Unless you really are useless you'll be more likely to coast.
I heavily disagree with this. Technical interviews are great if done correctly.

Or do you think that technical interviews hold such trait that is always present, that you can label all of them useless?

Interesting. There's some evidence that fasting fights cancer, and there's a good deal of overlap between the effects of keto and fasting.

Though obviously "stop eating everything that gives you cancer" is also a good start, and you can definitely eat processed garbage even on keto.
I’m reasonably certain that I interviewed someone using this or something like it in the last few days.

Lots of eye scanning while looking above the window they’d been typing into. Pauses. Big pastes. One of my excellent colleagues noticed that the candidate made use of exciting C++ casts before ever defining the variable’s types. Complete inability to explain or debug the code just written.

So. Frustrating in two dimensions. First a waste of time for everyone. Second, occasional signs of real ability make me think the candidate might’ve made it work honestly. The fool.

This, and this alone, makes me pine for in-person interviews. But I suspect those won’t be back for some time. (For good reasons that are out of scope here.)
I'm so glad to see somebody made this comment!!

Postgres for everything is pretty neat in that you can take expertise from one place, and use it somewhere else (or just not have to learn a zillion tools)

The same database for everything is a really good way to have a tangled mess (are people still using the word complected?) where nobody knows which parts are depended on by what.

On the other hand, the red tape is the problem, not the $10.

The amount of effort to get anything paid approved is often similar whether it's $1 or $100. Above that, it probably gets exponentially harder but that's fair.

I think the original comment pointed out that justifying any new purchase (especially for something that's generally taken for granted as free such as web search) is hard, not necessarily whether it's $10 vs $20.
Hello from 50-55 degrees latitude where we get our heads blown off by the jet stream all. the. time.
Regarding Article 52, paragraph one, there is no proof of fraud. In fact, if I’m not mistaken a vote recount was done and the court accepted the results as valid.

There is an allegation of foreign influence which has not been proven in a court of law.

IMO the court has acted beyond its mandate and only made things worse.

By the way, where is the report from SRI? The internet is full of newspapers which quote it, but don’t link to the original document. From those articles, there is no smoking gun against the candidate themselves. Just some guy which paid people on Tiktok, with no statement on that guy’s connection to the candidate.
Why do you say that? The article didn't mention the reason for the divorce. Could have been infidelity for all we know.
Obligatory "I don't agree with this and think it seems like a pretty depressing way to live", but:

Yes, the CCR can probably get away with what they’ve done, but when we’ve finished processing this there’s good chances that the decision will be proven to have been made outside of the court’s strict mandate.

And even if they have a good excuse, the optics are very bad and potentially fatal for whatever is left of the trust in Romanian institutions.
There's a currently ongoing anime called Orb: Movements of The Earth m. It depicts a compelling albeit fictionalized account of the rocky and often dangerous road faced by proponents of heliocentrism in the 16th century. Despite its fictional nature, the show makes reference to real thinkers such as Aristarchus and Occam, among others.
Why would the state management get any more difficult? Any change a user would have input into a modal dialog only gets applied when that dialog is closed/done. Same can be done for any implementation using no modal dialog. You can have a "save changes" or whatever button that confirms the changes and only then they affect the state. There seems no inherent reason that it would become more complicated.
Get yourself a Tesla account. I think all of the Tesla chargers between Cologne and Bremerhaven are open to any CCS compatible car; you just need the tesla app and register your credit card. Tesla is usually cheaper as well as more reliable.

But there are also services like ChargePoint which unify the payment systems for numerous networks (certainly including Eon and Shell).
I’d say chances of getting busted are high as well. The invisibility of the window to common interview software won’t do anything mask candidates’ own suspicious behaviour.

I was doing a 45 minute screener interview with a guy the other day who I could see kept glancing over at another window or screen as he was typing in code. Every couple of characters or so he was pausing looking over, then he’d type a handful more characters, then pause and glance again. He was typing incredibly slowly as well, like a character or two per second, even when he was typing. It was honestly a bit of a weird experience to watch unfolding. His solutions were spot on though.

I didn’t make an issue of it, partly because I already had other concerns as well. I can’t think of a situation where there’s anything to gain by getting into an argument with a candidate: I simply didn’t invite him to the next interview stage.

There is a lot of middle ground between "brushing it off" and cancelling a whole election and throwing the choice of millions of voters to the trash.

In Spain there are violations of campaign laws all the time (and I'm talking by major traditional parties) and they are investigated, but typically the outcome is a fine, or maybe some jail time in severe cases, not invalidating a whole nation-wide election. And I suppose it's the same elsewhere because otherwise we would see news of invalidating elections left and right. Shady campaign financing is not exactly uncommon across the world.
