I probably made it sound fancier than it is, but in a consulting situation by the time someone is willing to listen to what I say they've likely been experiencing considerable pain and are willing to take advice, so it's a little different than when you are stuck there. which is basically, biting off the smallest pieces you can that give the largest value you can (to me, the value I use to measure this is roughly by time spent per week estimates). So if it takes me 20 mins to automate a task that is spending 3 hours a week of devops time, of course this is a super easy target. Not all tasks are like this and people are bad at estimating how much time they spend on stuff like this, so it requires a diligent approach and honest introspection (one of the hardest parts to me, people are wildly delusional sometimes). This involves a lot of meetings, alignment, etc.

The time I've been stuck in these situations, it's mostly about inflicting or bringing notice to enough pain that the business backs off on some tighter deadlines to give more time to automate the tasks that will free up the most bandwidth or time - and it's a lot of small bites. I typically will start (if I can) by insisting anything new that makes sense to be automated (making a basic estimate of time per week, and effort to automate, also something you need to factor in is long term maintenance to use as a pitch to sell to management) and stick rigidly to that until it starts taking over other legacy processes in sort of a slow strangler pattern. This can look wildly different depending on the infrastructure setup and needs and how much firefighting you're doing - which there is usually a lot of. So sometimes that first step is just putting out all the fires or gaining enough visibility/monitoring to ensure you know what fires need to immediately be jumped on and which ones don't, and most importantly, proving that to the business.

Unfortunately though, leadership buy in (to me) is the hardest part almost always which is why I say "inflicting pain" the way I do, it sounds bad, but if they do not feel pain you will never, ever get priority to do anything, because IME like I said "devops" guys to most businesses (and even a lot of technical people) are glorified sysadmins that cost and demand way too much.
The people on those cards were, overwhelmingly, not killed be the people carrying the cards. This is easy to look up.
Similar qualifications here, but no internships. Couldn't find anything after grad school in the early 2010s (and still nothing in the mid 2010s after trying again). Went into telcom and I'm a happy little coder now. Nice to actually feel appreciated in this field compared to EE where it felt like I was always working my butt off for scraps.
Wow, it's amazing how much better the Subaru's automatic braking system is.

I worry that hitting a pedestrian at night is the most likely way I'd seriously hurt somebody, and I want to encourage automakers to prioritize the safety of pedestrians and other road users, so Subarus will be high on my list the next time I'm shopping for a car.

Didn't WPE release some of the most popular WP plugins of all time? Advanced Form Fields etc? How is that not contributing to the ecosystem?

I'm not sure it's logically consistent to attack the phrase "rent seeeking" as unclear, then apply it anyway (?!) but muddle the word "contributing" in turn, to reach pre-desired conclusions about which party is at fault. You'll have to clarify for me what branch of neo-classical economics is concerned with assigning fault. Seems entirely removed from economics for me.

More broadly, we're not discussing any of this in the context of "contemporary classical economics" (ie right of centre economics), so I have no idea why you think we'd agree on using those definitions, or why those definitions have pride of place over any others.

I would be using nonGuix if it booted on my machine (libre seemingly has its claws too deep), instead of Nix, precisely because Guix has far less NIH: Nix is homegrown everything. Guile was a pre-existing project (for both Guix and The Shepherd), for a pre-existing language family.

No. It was all three vehicles. The table is average speed reduction.

Reflective strips had a lower average speed reduction than black clothing in every case except for the Subaru at 0 and 20 lux and the Honda at 0 lux.
I don't understand why people buy Apple devices then expect to maintain control over them. The Literal CEO refers to your purchases as "their platform". The thing you bought... is his.

Is it a household name? Anecdotally, only two of my five millennial/gen-z siblings use an AI app at all, and one of them calls her's "Gary" instead of ChatGPT. I'd be interested in seeing some actual data showing how much ChatGPT is an actual household name versus one that us technical people assume is a household name due to its ubiquity in our space.

How does this work with the whole, lets instead go to my friends place so my phone doesn’t get stolen?
Another tip: do NOT store vector embeddings of nothingness, mostly whitespace, a solid image, etc. We've had a few situations with RAG data stores which accidentally ingested mostly-empty content (either text or image), and those dang vectors matched EVERYTHING. WAs I like to think of it, there's a bit of nothing in everything.. so make sure that if you are storing a vector embedding, there is some amount of signal in that embedding.

I used Btrfs for a few years but switched away a couple years ago. I also had one or two incidents with Btrfs where some weirdness happened, but I was able to recover everything in the end. Overall I liked the flexibility of Btrfs, but mostly I found it too slow.

I use ZFS on Arch Linux and overall have had no problems with it so far. There's more customization and methods to optimize performance. My one suggestion is to do a lot of research and testing with ZFS. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's been worth the switch for me.
> The most important one is that both your identity and your data are tied to whichever instance you pick [...] (i.e. the fact that you can't "port out" from an uncooperating server) really isn't [forgivable], in my view.

You can "soft-migrate" to another Mastodon account and server my creating your new account, then pointing your old account to your new account.

All the old content remains on the old account/server, and all the new content/notifications appear on the new account/server.

They have a "soft-migrate" (as opposed to a "hard-migrate" where all your activity would be migrated across to the new server) because Mastodon is built on the ActivityPub standard which has more than just Mastodon using it. Since it's an open standard, there are already proposals underway to allow the hard-migrate behavior, but it would be able to support Mastodon and all other compatible ActivityPub apps, not just Mastodon by itself.

> Mastodon's approach is firmly stuck in a past where sysadmins completely rule their respective kingdoms, and that distinction runs deep to the core protocol level and is, I'd argue, not fixable.

I see this as a feature, not a bug.

I'd rather have a reddit (before the great '23 moderator purge and subsequent death spiral) style moderation where each fifedom (e.g. subreddit/mastodon instance) has it's own rules and moderators that actually care about the designated content (e.g. cooking, gamedev, etc...) in their fifedom where the moderators are part of the community and the community can discuss and vote on rule changes.

As opposed to:

A facebook style moderation where the mods are a faceless corporation and where reporting something equals a filling out a form of preset answers which don't allow for further explanations and having maybe 3% of anything actually getting fixed.

> Would you agree that this puts an upper limit on the loss they can run? If more aggregate auto claims are submitted than premiums paid in a day, you can only make interest on they delay duration. If payout delay is say 3 months, annual interest is 4%, you break even at a 1% loss on premiums, right?

Of course there is an upper limit on losses they can run. The upper limit is base on their investment returns and the time frame. The time frame is longer than you think. Based on a quick run of the numbers it is measured in years.

> If you are consistently drawing down your float to pay claims instead of adding to it, you are better off leaving the auto insurance industry and simply operating an equity investment firm.

They are continually replenishing the float at the same time. The whole point is that they are operating an equity investment firm, except the investment capital comes from a revolving pool of insurance premiums instead of some other pool of money.

> was exactly the way the job was described when I interviewed at Intel for a process engineer, and everyone doing the same job was at the time a PhD according to the interviewer. Did it change?

Not sure. What has changed in recent years is the quality of industrial automation, particularly in semiconductors.

I'm unconvinced the only way to make these chips is for highly-trained engineers to caramelise onions on the stove. (At the very least, they could be allowed time to conduct experiments into new production methods, et cetera. Similar to how universities let professors do research in exchange for putting in teaching hours.)

Is the 2-3 just for single frames, or does it already include all the tricks cameras can do to get more dynamic range?

Many cars have multiple cameras and could (can?) run them at different exposures. Or run at a very high frame rate and take every frame with multiple exposure settings, and calculate an HDR video on the fly.
> Mine are turning out fine. I don't want them to be like those other children, and I've kept them away from those children. Doesn't seem to have been a problem.

To each their own. I personally grew up with the idea of "try to be around all different types of people as I will encounter people from different walks of life, just don't be an idiot". I think, it made me a better person and I pride myself in my ability of getting along with most people. One day, I would want the same for my kids, and hope at that point we would resolve the social media issues.
For what it’s worth. Mine was like this at 3, but at 6 he’ll definitely take playing super saiyan over watching them on TV.
This is a very unpopular opinion, but I believe ideally taxes in America should be more a lot more "regressive" like they are in Sweden. VATs are economically more efficient than income tax, and harder for corporations to avoid. Taxes are only actually regressive when the tax dollars don't go back into social services for the people, so that's something that would need to be prioritized first. I suspect that a major reason why the American government is so inefficient with spending is because there is no incentive for them to be, as the majority of tax dollars comes from a minority of high income workers.

I think vision-only approaches can work, but our eyes and brain are amazing and it would take some serious hardware. Our eyes have a 200-degree FOV, providing a 576 megapixel landscape, with 13ms of latency. Plus there are 6 billion neurons in the visual cortex alone to process the images, which are then fed to another 80 billion neurons that can interpret and react to the data.

Peppering a few webcam-quality cameras around a car and plugging it into an Intel Atom processor probably won't be better than our eyes and brain, even if the cameras don't blink or get tired. It's only going to get better though.

Yeah I commented the other day, tongue firmly in cheek, that it's probably worth burning down all the rainforests just so LLMs can tell me the right ffmpeg flags to do what I want.
This is pretty ridiculous. US is already an undisputed world leader in building data centers. Our companies are great at building data centers already at their own initiative, and they don’t need government’s subsidies to do that. This just seems like a subsidy to “clean energy” industry, disguised as industrial strategy.

This is the prompt describing the function call parameters:

When calling the automation, you need to provide three main parameters:
1. Title (title):
A brief descriptive name for the automation. This helps identify it at a glance. For example, "Check for recent news headlines".
2. Prompt (prompt):
The detailed instruction or request you want the automation to follow. For example:
"Search for the top 10 headlines from multiple sources, ensuring they are published within the last 48 hours, and provide a summary of any recent Russian military strikes in the Lviv Oblast."
3. Schedule (schedule):
This uses the iCalendar (iCal) VEVENT format to specify when the automation should run. For example, if you want it to run every day at 8:30 AM, you might provide:

BEGIN:VEVENT
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=8;BYMINUTE=30;BYSECOND=0
END:VEVENT

Optionally, you can also include:
• DTSTART (start time):
If you have a specific starting point, you can include it. For example:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20250115T083000
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=8;BYMINUTE=30;BYSECOND=0
END:VEVENT

In summary, the call typically includes:
• title (string): A short name.
• prompt (string): What you want the automation to do.
• schedule (string): The iCal VEVENT defining when it should run.
Oh man, this takes me back to 2005 when I first moved to Pg and needed replication. Its replication is statement based, i.e. sends each DML query to all nodes. That means every write query must be deterministic. That wasn't always obvious. Though it did work for us until we moved to Slony then block level WAL replication. Thankfully we have logical replication today, even if it's still a bit more painful than MySQL.
I'm with you on the vinyl, and I was with you on the typewriter until a few years ago when I was looking through a museum and they had a typewriter that could be used by the guests. It was a little older than the typewriter I had to use as a kid before getting a computer, but not radically different.

Typing on it was at first nostalgic, but I quickly realized I was typing way more steadily and efficiently (far fewer mistakes) than I do on a modern keyboard. After continuing to use it I realized there really is something important in the physicality there. There's also a lot of value I think in the "distraction free" nature of the typewriter. It's not going to deluge me with notifications about email and slack messages I'm constantly receiving.

That said, I do think I'd get very frustrated if I had to type on it when tired or rushed as mistakes are far more costly on a typewriter than a modern computer. It's certainly not the panacea that nostalgia makes many of us think it will be, but I do think there's real benefit in it.
At the end of all of this I wonder what will become of such great professors like Felleisen, Hescott and Lerner. A real shame
By that logic every health care system in the entire world has has killed countless people. Further, under the zero-sum logic you offer here, every doctor that has ever overbilled RVUs is an accomplice to murder.
> still revolutionary to sit down with people you don't know and share a delicious meal

The revolutionary part isn't sitting with strangers. It's sitting with strangers across classes. The equivalent to a langar in the West would be everyone in a community dining at the soup kitchen.
The solution is always to get different peers. If you're surrounded by bad influences, fitting in or not fitting in are both bad options.
The UI is different in the desktop app for macOS. The ability to edit the schedule task is only available in the web UI for me.

I got the best results by not enabling Search the Web when I was trying to create tasks. It confuses the model. But scheduled tasks can successfully search the web.

It's flaky, but looks promising!
i posted the system prompt part describing the function call; if you read it and adjust your prompt for creating the task it works way better.
A PhD is really just a project in an academic setting.

There’s likely little real world difference in capability between someone with first class honours and a year in industry, than first class honours plus a PhD.

eduroam is less one network standard implemented by universities, more like, individual university networks that are set up similarly enough that they have a chance of talking to each other's auth servers and maybe working.
Another Gorilla is the schools, teachers and state-approved recommendations, that extend their reach even into private schools.

Imagine my frustration one day, when I've discovered that my kindergartner has full access to a brand-new, shiny iPad during class. Despite complaints from parents, the teacher refused to reduce iPad usage (or even activate Screen Distance and Screen Time controls on the iPad, or share usage statistics).

The only thing that I've learned, this is all in line with California’s state-approved computer literacy recommendations.
> Speech also proceeds under the whips of two tyrants: time and memory. Our memories aren’t nearly capacious enough to allow us to compose and precompile each sentence before beginning to utter its first syllable. Instead, speaking is like driving with a general sense of the destination, but no clear route planned—we utter the first syllables of a sentence while taking a leap of faith that we’ll be able to choose the right words en route and formulate phrases adequately as the words tumble out of our mouths and bring us to an intersection in our thoughts that demands our next move.

I have read (but can not presently find a source to confirm) that Edsger W. Dijkstra was raised by a grandmother who forbade him to begin speaking a sentence without first knowing its conclusion.
Fairly bad locations, average pay. It's not like the newer Japanese towns chip towns where you can get on a train and be in a proper city (ex. 40 min ride from Chitose to Sapporo), with okay pay as well. If pay was really good, it wouldn't matter, but selling this dream to a university grad is a bit hard in the US. I still hope it pans out though, cause NA manufacturing revival would be great. It's just the odds are against it so far.
I spoke briefly with Felleisen at the end of this year, and sadly it seems the zoom recordings from the pandemic are lost to time. The course sites will likely stay up but the lectures were where it mattered
