That's amazing! Within 40 seconds I overlapped the two hard mode images and saw 8 shimmering objects set within a clear picture. It took me a little longer (maybe a minute), but the two impossible mode pictures snapped together and I saw a single shimmering star within an otherwise crystal clear photograph!
This was a great way for them to collect a lot of free voice data to train their model.

It’s very difficult to address culture in the US without being accused of victim blaming or bias.

But the uncomfortable truth is that some cultural practices simply do produce better neighbors and coworkers and compatriots than do others.
Exposing the relational model to be manipulated dynamically within the parent language is exactly what LINQ in C# is. That was its primary purpose. True, LINQ is not itself an ORM -- it was built to support other ORMs like LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework, which aren't as "pure" on this subject. I don't actually like the LINQ syntax that much since it's not as extensible, but its existence is proof that the C# team did in fact intend to expose the relational model to C#.

Entity Framework did try to cater to the "SQL is scary, let me use objects" crowd, and that is the majority of how it's used, and that is a mistake in my opinion. But it is also very good at supporting relational algebra within C# and composing queries dynamically; ironically, it's best at it if you disable or avoid many of its features (dynamic subclassing, linked objects). Pass IQueryables around and compose them together and life is good. Updating needs work, but updates have always been a weakness for SQL too.

I'm fairly convinced that OTEL is in a form of 'vendor capture', i.e. because the only way to get a standard was to compromise with various bigcorps and sloppy startups to glue-gun it all together.

I tried doing a simple otel setup in .NET and after a few hours of trying to grok the documentation of the vendor my org has chosen, hopped into a discord run by a colleague that has part of their business model around 'pay for the good otel on the OSS product' and immediately stated that whatever it cost, it was worth the money.

I'd rather build another reliable event/pubsub library without prior experience than try to implement OTEL.

In California funding is based upon attendance. The main place wealthy neighborhoods get extra money here is through PTAs rather than property taxes.

This is in addition to what the other commenter said. I'm not very well informed about how other states fund their schools, but even if this blanket generalization is true in some places, there's enough evidence out there that funding isn't the only or maybe even the main problem.

This is only true if having a hood has no negative ramifications, the argument from Volvo was that removing it made forward visibility better. For some people trading a hood they never use, against better forward visibility, could be well worth it. Especially for short people, where forward visibility can be more of a problem than for the rest of us.

I believe the author worked at Facebook in the past. The "fifty years" bit is likely a reference to that company's recent policy change that explicitly re-authorizes the use of what are rightly considered slurs - even if they were common sentiment to express publicly fifty-some years ago.
I'm assuming you are not familiar with this study: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/lkatz/files/chk_aer_mto_04...

It shows that if a poor family moves from a poorer school district to a richer school district, and they have children under 13, then those children are significantly more successful than children whose families remain in the poorer school district. However, after 13 there seems to be a slight negative effect.

There are other studies showing similar effedcts.

Summary: It's not genetics.
This is a good article that touches on a lot of the nuances of this issue, and I hope people take the time to read it.

I'm in the camp that "brightness" is what is people notice, but it isn't necessarily the root cause of the issue. Aiming, leveling, beam height, pattern, lens condition, compliance, etc are all significant contributors to this issue as well.

Light on the road is a good thing, the problem is when the light goes in your eyes.

Anecdotally, the condition of people's headlights that I observe on the roads in the US is atrocious. Any given evening I can go on a short drive and observe:

* overloaded cars (which will point headlights in the air because US cars generally don't have beam leveling)

* dirty or obscured lenses (and again, the US doesn't require washers, and rarely does highway patrol enforce even heavily obscured lamps)

* broken or damaged vehicles with damaged lamps pointing the wrong direction

* drivers with one working headlamp, using high beams as a workaround for fixing their car

* drivers who are oblivious to the operation mode of their lamps (either driving with DRLs or high beams on)

* aftermarket lamps that don't have a proper beam pattern

I think bright lamps would be fine if people used them correctly, and we had better regulations to ensure they put the light properly on the road, but unfortunately you really can't trust US drivers to do things correctly, and the last thing that is politically palatable in the US is to enforce/enact more road safety regulations. And it seems highway patrol is only interested in enforcing speed limits and vehicle registration these days. And in the few states that even bother to inspect vehicles at all often fail to properly inspect headlights.
I’m perfectly fine with modern corrective actions taken in response to past treaty violations. They were treated with as separate nations in the past and now there are mechanisms for limited forms of self rule on tribal land.
The stereotype in my mind ...

countries in Asia prioritize education a lot, prioritize good jobs and good careers a lot. Children are pushed towards the schooling that offers the best careers and STEM is it at the moment.
I've noticed this. My car has one of these bright headlights (I had no idea when I bought it). Its a lot easier to see in dark streets, I'll admit that.

But my car also has some electronics that turn headlights down if I'm using high beam when another car is coming my way. Maybe that's the solution, but for the low beam too?
He's Mark Zuckerberg's friend. They became close because Zuckerberg picked up MMA as a hobby. Zuckerberg has a majority stake in the company that can't be contested. He decided to throw his buddy a bone. That's it. Zuckerberg is tired of how much effort being "woke" takes. This is pretty easy to understand if you imagine being white and super-rich, and the closest exposure you have to any "real" adversity in life is your other super rich, multi-cultural friends and loved ones.

Wealth inequality is at its highest ever in the United States. He observed that the people he was supporting still hated him because he's disgustingly rich, so he's getting diminishing returns for his effort to "be cool". Meanwhile everyone else is having so much fun. When he complained to his other rich friends about this, they convinced him that they don't really have any biases, he doesn't owe anyone anything, and people are just jealous. So the metaphorical gloves come off. The next four years, and maybe even many more years beyond that because of the persisting judicial climate, are going to be filled with people coming unmasked in this regard.

The whole point of OTel is to not get bent over backwards by one of the SaaS "logging/tracing/telemetry" companies, and as such it's going to incur some cost/pain of its own, but typically the bargain is worth taking.

> “OpenAI used 600 IPs to scrape data, and we are still analyzing logs from last week, perhaps it’s way more,” he said of the IP addresses the bot used to attempt to consume his site.

The IP addresses in the screenshot are all owned by Cloudflare, meaning that their server logs are only recording the IPs of Cloudflare's reverse proxy, not the real client IPs.

Also, the logs don't show any timestamps and there doesn't seem to be any mention of the request rate in the whole article.

I'm not trying to defend OpenAI but as someone who scrapes data I think it's unfair to throw around terms "like DDOS attack" without providing basic request rate metrics. This seems to be purely based on the use of multiple IPs, which was actually caused by their own server configuration and has nothing to do with OpenAI.

I didn't say no one could sue, anyone can sue anyone for anything if they have the time and the money. I said I didn't think someone could sue over non-compliance with robots.txt and win.

If it were possible, someone would have done it by now. It hasn't happened because robots.txt has absolutely no legal weight whatsoever. It's entirely voluntary, which means it's perfectly legal not to volunteer.

But if you or anyone else wants to waste their time tilting at legal windmills, have fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

This tracks. I got a computer science degree from a large US university. Something like 75-80% of the major was male. The majority of the male CS students were Asian-American*, but not extremely. Way larger share on the female side, like 90%.

Several of my friends in CS said their parents wouldn't have supported their college education if they were getting a humanities degree, with the possible exception of law. Even business was unlikely.

I'm literally porting some code to Otel now and here is what I landed on, even before this article: It is confusing because it's a topic that uses vague terminology that means different things in different domains. For example, I'm looking at one OTel ui and "Traces" are the individual http requests to a service. In another UI, against the same data, "Traces" are the log messages from code in the service, and "Requests" are the individual http requests. To wire up in code, there's yet other terminology.

I haven't decided exactly what to blame for this. In some ways, it's necessary to have vague, inconsistent terminology to cover various use cases. And, to be fair some of the UIs predate OTel.
It’s a step on the right direction. I’m optimistic but let’s see.
Not the parent but I too don't see what's wrong with that.
Washington state pools property tax money and then redistributed it equitably across the state to pay for education on a per pupil basis. This mainly means poorer eastern Washington districts are subsidized by richer western Washington districts, and districts that lose students to private schools take a direct hit in their funding.

>But you can also see how negative experiences like this can build up

Not really, TBH. I especially can't see why a woman experiencing these (to my mind, rather mild) interactions would think that things would be better in some other career path.

Let's say I, a man, went to work in a traditionally female-dominated field like nursing, and found that the other nurses there had named their cafeteria dishwasher "Hubby" as a joke because it took forever to work.

Would I, a grown man, consider changing my career because of this? No, I wouldn't.

OTOH, if the other nurses seemed to view me with disrespect or suspicion and I found I wasn't able to shift that perception through my actions, then I'd reconsider.
The honest message wound have been:

Hi all, I wanted to share some changes we're making to our hiring, development and procurement practices. Before getting into the details, there is some important background to lay out:

The legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing. The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI. It reaffirms longstanding principles that discrimination should not be tolerated or promoted on the basis of inherent characteristics. The term "DEI" has also become charged, in part because it is gives preferential treatment of some groups over others.

At Meta, we have a principle of serving everyone. This can be achieved through cognitively diverse teams, with differences in knowledge, skills, political views, backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Such teams are better at innovating, solving complex problems and identifying new opportunities which ultimately helps us deliver on our ambition to build products that serve everyone. On top of that, we've always believed that no-one should be given - or deprived- of opportunities because of protected characteristics, except if they’re a man or white, or Asian man.

Given the shifting legal and policy landscape, we're making the following changes:

On hiring, we will continue to source candidates from different backgrounds, but we will stop discriminating against white and Asian men. This practice has always been subject to public debate and is currently being challenged. We believe there are other ways to build an industry-leading workforce and leverage teams made up of world-class people from all types of backgrounds to build products that work for everyone.
We have decreased the importance of meeting racist and sexist quotas and tying outcomes to compensation. Having quotas in place make hiring decisions based on race or gender. While this was our practice, we want to appear less sexist and racist.
We are sunsetting our supplier discrimination efforts within our broader supplier strategy. This effort focused on sourcing from Black-owned businesses; going forward, we will focus our efforts on supporting small and medium sized businesses that power much of our economy. Opportunities will continue to be available to all qualified suppliers, including those who were part of the supplier diversity program.
Instead of equity and inclusion training programs, we will build programs that focus on how to apply fair and consistent practices that mitigate bias for all, no matter your background.

I say this as someone who has been soldering their entire life, but lead-free is fine. The differences between leaded and lead free are minimal these days.

The best way I can describe lead-free solder is like using some old and really crappy leaded solder. It can get kinda gummy and ugly, but usually only when you touch a joint for the tenth time.

The way to make lead free solder flow and work like leaded is simple: flux. Flux pens are alright, but your world will be forever changed by gel flux in a syringe. Clean up with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush or paper towel.

Modern solder alloys are pretty good. Just don't buy the cheapest thing you can find. Always, always get your solder from a good manufacturer like MG chemicals. Also buy fluxed (not no-clean) solder wick from those guys.

I used to be in the "just use lead" camp, but there's really no benefit. I've been exposed to far more than enough lead in my career. Lead-free is totally fine.

Some people fret about solder whiskers, but I'm unconvinced that this is a real problem worth discussing. It seems to be myth more than a practical problem that anyone but NASA should care about.

Just use good lead-free. It's only trivially worse than leaded. It's fine.
Not commenting on the merits of AA in general, but multiple offers in hand in a timely manner is always better so losing out on that is definitely harmful.
That's not valid standard C; gcc and clang give a warning with '-pedantic'. It's valid C++ though.

And IMO it's quite a nice feature, useful sometimes for reducing boilerplate in early returns. It's the obvious consequence if you don't treat void as some extremely-special syntax but rather as just another type, perhaps alike an empty struct (though that's not valid C either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) that's just implicitly returned at the end of a void-returning function, and a "return;" statement implicitly "creates" a value of void.

In fact in Rust (and probably a bunch of other languages that I'm too lazy to remember) void-returning functions are done via returning a 0-tuple.

Not a fan of datadog vs just good metric collection. OTOH while I see the value of OTEL vs what I prefer to do... in theory.

My biggest problem with all of the APM vendors, once you have kernel hooks via your magical agent all sorts of fun things come up that developers can't explain.

My favorite example: At another shop we eventually adopted Dynatrace. Thankfully our app already had enough built-in metrics that a lead SRE considered it a 'model' for how to do instrumentation... I say that because, as soon as Dynatrace agents got installed on the app hosts, we started having various 'heisenbugs' requiring node restarts as well as a directly measured drop in performance. [0]

Ironically, the metrics saved us from grief, yet nobody had an idea how to fix it. ;_;

An easy way is to give the model the URL of the page so it can value the content based on the reputation of the source, of course the model doesn't know future events, but gibberish is gibberish, and that's quite easy to filter, even without knowing the source.

A stable environment is certainly going to dramatically increase the chance of overcoming an addiction. It obviously does not guarantee success but it's a crucial first step in the process. As pointed out in the article the housing first approach is actually saving money in the long run by reducing subsequent costs incurred by social services, so the "everyone else is paying for their addiction" argument does not really work – there are going to be costs either way, and an addict who has a home is easier and cheaper to care for than one who is roaming the streets.
The government and laws?
We can change our culture as well. American culture is dynamic.

The major issue with US even in blue cities is how apathetic they are to build new infrastructure (homes, roads, hospitals, schools) e.t.c

At the end of the day demand-supply dynamics dictate the price.
