Not really. If you've grown up in Asia you're used to wearing a mask whenever you are feeling unwell or have a cold. We do that out of courtesy to others, and it makes a lot of sense (which is why the practice has continued at hospitals since COVID). My kids were both in elementary school during COVID and got used to it quickly and were just fine.

Not all men is a sensible argument because it condemns generalization, a foundational principle of humanism.

There is no spirit of argument, your axioms are lacking. Either you can form an argument without generalization or it is very weak. That is mostly the gist of the criticism of contemporary progressive arguments.

Especially on the topic of racism it is paramount to stay precise in your wording and especially if your own policies circle around changes in language.

And if your argument gets the basics wrong, you should not wonder about any headwind and no, these arguments cannot form a revisited civil rights movement.
We used to have this problem in AWS Rekognition; a poorly detected face -- e.g. a blurry face in the background -- would hit with high confidence with every other blurry face. We fixed that largely by adding specific tests against this [effectively] null vector. The same will work for text or other image vectors.

What rubbish and a great example of the following sentiment. Near all success we see in this industry is built on the acts of charlatans “Fake it until you make it” yolo. The more bs you as a manager and team you can spew the bigger the reward like this article and its Ivy League shill. People come and go and a 1x performer for a few months will have the same net outcome as a 10x because learning the product takes significant time which doesn’t exist in the market. No 1 is in it long term, period. Hire for your timeline, because you’re moving on, not up.
Don't hold your breath for the next step where they pass laws criminalizing any attempt to find or use such loopholes, so cops can be jailed for trying to use civil asset forfeiture in any way.
Yeah, the calendar sidn't transfer all my events so I would lose a big part of how I use it. I gave up for now, stuck with Google which makes me nervous, but I hear Proton is re-doing it.

You are demonstrating that you have no idea what “social mobility” means. It is a term of art in economics, it doesn’t mean what you think it means. Being “socially mobile” has nothing to do with your ability to change your standard of living.

In countries like the US, you can achieve enormous gains in income and still not be socially mobile by definition. Specifically, it has nothing to do with how easy it is to become wealthy, which is what most people incorrectly intuit it means.

High “social mobility” is worthless if it doesn’t come with a high standard of living.
> How has civil forfeiture not been ruled illegal at this point?

Isn’t part of the problem prosecutors dropping cases before they make it through appeals? I’m almost ready to PAC an elected prosecutor who commits to taking a test case to SCOTUS.
It has its roots in something very necessary: disposal of abandoned property, especially illegal goods for which no owner can be identified. Of course it has gotten slightly out of hand.

Loopholes aren’t illegal, they’re a problem with the law. Using the law to criminalise loopholes is Kafkaesque.
I just started using Flox last weekend and so far it has been quite nice experience. There are two things I don't like, though:

1) The Homebrew package is a cask that installs also Nix. While I like Flox, I don't want my systems to be married to it. Yes, I know about install option with "generic Nix", but I'm using Homebrew with Brewfile both in macOS and Linux, and I would like the Homebrew package to be just Flox.

2) Documentation is OK for getting started, but not for anything more than that. There are nice manifest.toml examples for many use cases in floxenvs[1] but you need to find those first. Also I'm not sure how I feel about inline shell scripts in toml. While it works, separate files would be easier to handle, at least for me.

FWIW, A good compromise between Proton and FastMail is Infomaniak kMail and/or kSuite.

Like Proton, it’s Swiss based, like FastMail, everything is using standard protocols. So unlike Proton, it’s just basic mail with no encryption but at least your mails are in a pretty safe jurisdiction.

If you care about it and use the webmail, the UX is pretty much ok but let’s be honest, FastMail is waaay ahead everyone else when it comes to usability. If you just use native clients to access your mail/calendar etc … it will just be the same.

It’s also a little cheaper than FastMail.

"And the url did not work because my work email is private (and will stay so)."

I have not tried this, but there is some email obfuscation feature:

https://proton.me/support/pass-email-alias

and other email obfuscation services.

Not sure if this would matter for something like a calendar import, as I'm sure how the traversal works.

Also, the author could have tried a Murena /e/ os de-googled phone.

Glancing at my Murena /e/ os "App Lounge" there's dizzying number of calendar options with high privacy scores.

Also, doing some poking around and testing rather than going all-in on proton mail's calendar, esp. if calendaring is so important.

That said I use proton mail's calendar for everything personal and it works "ok" for me.

> Being in tech doesn't make you a hacker.

Agreed. "Tech" includes a lot of people who are not hackers.

It's worth pointing out though that the "hacker" types who go with the flow are in many cases doing so motivated by pragmatism and cynicism. They don't really believe in management or in the company or the product, but they gotta stick around until their shares vest or whatever.

Speaking for a friend.
If I'm understanding your comment correctly there are three different ways to connect Google SSO to your application:

1. SAML. This avoids the issue because certificates need to be exchanged between Google and your application, but an attacker that recreates a duplicate workspace using your domain won't have access to those certificates. Only users from your workspace will be allowed to login.

2. A custom Google OIDC IdP configured for internal access only. This also avoids the issue because a secret key is required to set this up and the attacker won't have access to that key. Again, only users from your workspace will be allowed to login.

3. The public Google OAuth API which will allow any Google user from any workspace (or non-workspace users) to login to your application.

Is this correct?
No offence, but your comment is quite racist.

The US legal system (unlike some other countries) is built on the presumption of innocence. Civil forfeiture completely contravenes that principle and is therefore essentially extortion and corruption.

This is very cool. On the topic of assembly, does anyone know of a language that is higher level than assembly, but retains the property that the output doesn't depend on the compiler or its flags?

I'm certain the social media and sensationalist broadcast media have over time nudged people closer to mob justice.

I’m 35 now, so, millennial; for additional context I was brought up in a city called Coventry which is a city that was in decline during that period. (just like most of the north of the UK following Thatcher’s closing of the mines).

As a consequence of this experience, though, I saw that I wasn’t exactly entirely unique either, as there were other children treated as I was and we sought each other out. So I know that while my experience is not universal: that it is at least shared by a handful of people within my schools alone. - I would hazard to guess more outside of my school have these experiences too.

I find this line of thought challenging, because it reminds me of what people were saying about homosexuals in the 80s and 90s. Things like "gays are fine as long as they don't kiss in public" and "I don't understand why they have to parade around in these festivals". I'm not sure what's different about transgender people in our generation.

Is it possible in your opinion to publicly support trans rights and not be woke?
Plus you need to know the format of your source file to design the command correctly. How many audio tracks, is the first video track a thumbnail or the video, are the subtitles tracks forced, etc.

And in some situations ffmpeg has some warts you have to go around. Like they introduced recently a moronic change of behaviour where the first sub tracks becomes forced/default irrespective of the original forced/default flag of the source. You need to add "-default_mode infer_no_subs" to counter that.
The costs would be trivial for the vast majority of Software Engineering companies. Talking about corner cases is useless as they often need a custom specialized solution anyways and wouldn't be using GitHub in the first place.

“wokeness” is the current right-wing dysphemism for “not being a raging bigot against the groups the Right demands be targeted with bigotry”, and, when understood that way, it is clear that this is at least “venturing into bigotry”, and understandable how it could be “too far” from a particular speaker’s perspective.
I think we're biased by the fact that old-fashioned writing style always sounds more fancy and formal. I don't know how much kids' writing you've read recently (school writing, not social media), but I reckon most reasonably smart 10 year olds today absolutely could write like that. My daughter is 10 and (parental bias notwithstanding) she's smart but not genius-level, and she has writing that complex in her school books.
I think the reason you easily learn on this type is that you have much more practice in the same piece of time. On normal bike an error leads to falling, having to restart, which takes half a minute at best. On running bike, you don't fall and continue. Each iteration takes 1-2 seconds.

My 3yo rides this 'running bike' as it's called here, no prob. My training in childhood, on normal one with pedals, was a nightmare.

Earlier I thought of the way to transition from 'running bike' to normal pedal bike, and thought of teaching first to ride while standing on pedals, and only then to sit down. Another comment here, about 'women bikes', confirms this idea.
The ideas in the paper have been implemented and tested. The authors conducted experiments on several tasks (math, coding, reasoning, and visual question answering) and showed that their approach works better than previous methods like LoRA.

Key ideas (in simple terms):

1. What’s the problem?

- Fine-tuning LLMs for every new task is slow, expensive, and often doesn't generalize well.
- Models trained on one task may perform poorly on others, especially unseen ones.
- Current methods (like LoRA) can add new capabilities but aren't efficient enough.

2. The solution:

- Transformer² uses a new fine-tuning method called Singular Value Fine-tuning (SVF). This focuses on adjusting only certain parts of the model’s "weight matrices" rather than changing everything.
- By tweaking specific components (called "singular values"), it trains smaller, efficient "expert" modules that specialize in particular types of tasks.

3. How it works:

- Training phase: Train these smaller expert modules offline using reinforcement learning (RL) to specialize in tasks like coding, math, or reasoning.
- Inference phase: When a new input is given, the system analyzes the task (e.g., “Is this a math or coding problem?”) in the first pass. Based on this, it combines the right expert modules and adapts the model’s behavior in the second pass.

4. Three adaptation strategies:

- Prompt-based: Use a cleverly designed text prompt to figure out the task type and pick the right expert module.
- Classifier-based: Train a separate model to classify tasks and match them to experts.
- Few-shot adaptation: Look at a small number of examples (few-shot learning) to dynamically combine expert modules for the best results.

5. Efficiency:

- The system uses fewer parameters than traditional fine-tuning methods like LoRA.
- Adaptation works even on small datasets without overfitting or forgetting older tasks.
Congrats, 1y on the same side-project (it is one I understood correctly) is already an achievement.

Task management is complicated and very different based on the person/context (Startup vs large org).

I know both universes well, and while reading your first page, I found "Only one task "in-progress" per user for focused productivity." -> I stopped here.
As engineer and manager of engineers I don't have one task in mind, I have hundreds, found me a way to visualise and make sense of all that and you would have my interest, not looking for another toggle-like app.
