No, the moral of the story is that technology is an exponentially-growing force multiplier for scammers.

Back in the hunter-gatherer days, you could be a fool and still survive by relying on your kinship group to protect you and take care of you. They would find ways to let you contribute to the group without needing to be highly intelligent and skillful.

Now we are living in a techno-jungle swarming with parasites and predators. Let your guard down for even a moment and you could lose everything. Oh, and when the cognitive decline that comes with age catches up to you? You might as well walk out onto the virtual ice floe and unplug yourself from the internet.
still on office 2013 here...
The general problem is that the value of the office tends to be directly proportional to how many people are present. I led hybrid and cross-site teams before COVID, and if even one person wasn't in the office everything had to be handled the same way you would if everyone was remote. The value of being in an office is in-person whiteboarding sessions, impromptu conversations, team bonding, and similar things that aren't as valuable if most/all of a given team isn't present. Conversely, the value of being remote is lost if many people are in an office having those side conversations and the remote people end up feeling like second class citizens.

It presents a difficult problem b/c both sides have a point: without nearly everyone committing to being in the office (at least on certain days) or full-time remote, you lose the full value of either setup.
The other day, I asked Gemini for suggestions on "sunny places in Latin America to visit in January," it recommended Miami.

They lack empathy because doing something about this would likely harm their salary or create regulation.
Why are there so many white knights in this thread? You're literally making up details to try and save face for her.
> There isn't a single thing there that seems iffy to me.

You mean like four versions of hashbrown (which is useful, but it's rare to have to use it directly instead of `std::collections::HashMap`, never mind pulling four versions of it into your project) or four versions of itertools (which is extremely situational, and even when it is useful it usually only saves you a couple of lines of code, so it's essentially never worth pulling it once, never mind four times)? Or maybe three different crates for random number generation (rand, nanorand, fastrand)?

There's a definitely problem with how the Rust community approaches dependencies (and I say this as someone who loves Rust and uses it as their main language for 10+ years now). People are just way too trigger happy with external dependencies, and burying our heads in the sand is not helping.

Inclusion of every external dependency should always be well motivated. How big is the dependency? How much of it do we use? How big of an effect will it have on compile times? How much effort would it be to write it yourself? Is it security sensitive? Is it a dependency which everyone uses and is maintained by well known community members, or some random guy from who knows where? And so on.

For example, cryptography stuff? No, don't write that yourself if you're not an expert; you'll get it wrong and expose yourself to vulnerabilities. Removing leading whitespace from strings? ("unindent" crate, which is also on your list) Hell no! That's like a minute or two to write this yourself. Did we learn nothing from the left-pad incident?

There is a really simple difference here.

The couple who foreclosed on a BoA branch got a court order to do so, otherwise the deputies would not have enforced it.

Seizing money in your trunk because you had a tail light out because you have a "suspicion" that the money is somehow criminal does not have the same standard.

I don't think many people have a concern with that.

So sure, maybe, "any attempt by law enforcement to carry out civil asset forfeiture absent a valid court order shall be a felony".
According to Google:

>Red 3 dye has been banned in the European Union for food use since 1994

Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Be that as it may but we're not making that person "smarter" by shitting on them. Many people just aren't very "smart" or whatever you want to call it but it's people that are taking advantage of them that are at fault here. If this was someone with a cognitive disability we wouldn't make fun of it (I hope) and the line is sometimes blurry.
In the US, at least, a government-run social media site would be impossible to moderate, because of the First Amendment. It becomes a Nazi bar immediately.
Obviously the problem is that Red no3 is so prevalent and completely unregulated. Alcohol is sold separately and ID is needed to purchase and isn't added to children's food. If the dye was only sold separately in bottles this debate wouldn't be happening.

The water thing is even more unserious so I'll ignore it.

"Bionic Reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. As a result, the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain center complete the word. In a digital world dominated by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content."

A lot of words for "we set the first syllable of the word in a bolder version of the font"
> She got the money from a divorce. What comes easy goes easy. I feel bad for the ex-husband.

Do you know the full story? Maybe the couple worked together to make a larger amount and then split it upon divorce. Making judgements like this is a problem IMO.

Is this a common issue? I deleted mine around the same time. I recently moved to a small town where many of the restaurants and businesses use Facebook which kind of forced me back on. When I tried creating a new one the same thing happened, and there was no way of reversing this decision.
Last autumn we finally fell to third behind Microsoft, in fairness.. But we're also the second biggest contributors to WebKit (really significant there) and Gecko too, as well as the #1 contributors to Servo, and more - if you're interested: https://bkardell.com/blog/2024-Midseason.html
it's completely stupid to measure "number of dependencies" in absolute numbers.

Lots of packages have a `-macros` or `-derive` transient dependency, meaning a single dependency can end up coutning as 3 additional dependencies.

Rust makes it simple to split packages into workspaces - for example, regex[1] consists of `regex-automata` and `regex-syntax` packages.

This composition and separation of concerns is a sign of good design, and not an npm-esque hellhole.

F35 are useful against insurgents. They are perfect for Israel.

Contrast that with Ukraine, where there is a de facto no-fly zone for both sides because anti-aircraft missiles are too good. That is why there is the strange mixture of WW1 trench warfare, howitzers, drones combined with glide bombs and missiles launched from far away.

China has other enemies than big ones. The Sukhoi 57 is also useless in a big power conflict, as we see now.

Germany only has big power conflicts to worry about, so why does it need F35s? Saudi Arabia on the other hand might need them.
Why doesn't this logic work for all the staff? You need staff for your VC-backed startup as well, don't you?

This explanation doesn't seem to explain why the CEO/staff comp ratio goes up. It just seems to say that comp should go up. If CEOs and staff both got their pay doubled by moving to one of these startups, the ratio would just stay the same.
You're getting it. It is like vegans banning steak!

When I was 12, I drew electric cars with hub motors like these. In college I took dynamics and started the long wait for lightweight motors. So, I’m kind of jazzed to break out those old sketchs and see what I imagined back then.

Perhaps ironically, I’ve been reviewing similar applications in bow thrusters for a boat. They seem to be a significant improvement (lighter, no axle blocking flow).
All of these are "Artist's Impressions". My best guess is they run a simulation based on the data from the spacecraft and then can pan the camera around as they see fit
Yeah, take the Doritos as an example: the UK bag lists "Cheese Powder", the US bag lists "Cheddar Cheese" with sub-ingredients in parentheses (plus Whey and Skim Milk).

What is in the UK Doritos' "Cool Original Flavour" (read: Ranch) ingredient? Maybe something like Tomato Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Buttermilk, Natural and Artificial Flavors?
Please note that I've worked in both biology and CS for 30+ years. Everything I describe in this way is a simplified approximation of mental processes, and half-joking (mainly appreciated by ML nerds and cognitive neuroscientists, I admit)

To build an embedding for a human means to build an approximate map of entities within a metric space. We do this all the time, for example unsupervised clustering of related entities (for example species classification based on visible character states).

From what I can tell, the human brain basically has a number of approximate computing systems- we have associative memory (hash tables/dictionary lookups), trajectory interpolation/extrapolation (catching a ball with only a few glances), logical reasoning from a premise (theoretical math), monte carlo tree search (formulating a complex plan wiht multiple steps and some unknowns), etc, etc. I certainly don't propose that my terminology is specifically scientifically correct, it's just heuristics I apply to my own thought patterns.
> I've seen is basically a unified "fuck you ..."

My wife is exploring RedNote for this very reason. "You're telling me I have an easy way to make the US government upset and the more I use RedNote, the more upset they are?" was her line of thinking. She explained that it makes her feel like she has a morsel of control over a group that previously didn't give a damn.

Her father would also be upset if she starts learning Chinese because of his political tendencies. It's basically a two-for-one deal of learning about another culture and learning a foreign language.

Workers are a very different product so I'm not too surprised by that. The main workers payment model is entirely concerned with CPU use and you must be minimizing that.
I'm also squarely GenX. While studying mechanical engineering, one of my roommates was in psychology. He said "we" didn't need sleep. He said one of his professors told them that. I said, "But we ALL do it." He said it was just a convenience thing.

To his credit, he decided to test his theory. By not sleeping. During FINALS WEEK. He said, by the third day, he saw Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn walk across the pages of the book he was reading, and decided it was time to take a nap.

But, hey, I tried smoking banana peel, ala the Anarchist's Cookbook, so I don't have any room to talk.

I long ago noticed the early 70's divergence of income inequality. I didn't realize that there was a Breton-Woods angle that some were pushing. I have no comment on that. I have always thought this was more closely related to the clawing back of higher tax rates on high income, which certainly helped set the conditions for higher executive compensation.
Good, I hope this brings companies to change their setup. Office competition is strong, MS office is a huge and costly vendor lock in. Also many ransomware attacks start with someone allowing macros or clicking on a link in Outlook.
This shows how vastly different people's experiences are with their school system at their location. It's probably either extremes we hear most about.
Unbelievable history. We are not talking about an old lady, 95 yo. She is 53, wealthy. While money does not make you intelligent, probably gives access to more or less good information, social relations. I literally think this history is not believable.

Also that she happens to be the 2 worse diseases in popular knowledge.

I don’t know… seems contrived.
>>>Yes, Google knows this is a new Google Workspace account using the same domain as the old one.

I agree it knows that, but it doesn't know:

>>>It's a different bob@DankStartup.com, and in fact a completely different DankStartup.com. Google shouldn't conflate the two.

How should it verify that? Should it? If you buy a domain that was used ten years ago, do you want google to say "well, we can't let you use contact@newDomain.com, someone used it previously and it may be confusing".

>>>I'm certain you wouldn't want the new owners to then have access to your Slack or any other data, just because they have the same domain name.

Maybe nobody should be using domain name and/or email address as authentication, but that ship has sailed in 100 different ways.

Of course not, but it highlights the risk of Appeal to Authority: one's expertise in a specific field does not make them experts in others, even ones adjacent to their own.

For anyone else not well-versed in the lingo, I thought I'd share this Smithsonian article and attendant Reddit thread. I found them informative:

> The brain’s waste-removal process is “like turning on the dishwasher,” a neurologist says, but common sleep medications may harm it"

> The team then tested the impact of Zolpidem (a common sleep medication also known as Ambien or Zolpimist) on this system, and found that the norepinephrine waves during sleep decreased by 50 percent and fluid transport into the brain decreased by around 30 percent in zolpidem-treated mice. These results suggest that sleeping aids that impact norepinephrine production—which includes most sleeping aids—might harm the brain’s waste-removal system.

The online versions are subject to warrantless government surveillance, whereas the local versions can still operate solely on local files and be denied access to the internet entirely.

This is an awesome, and as a bonus I learned about a mature reactive notebook for python. Great stuff.

The data sharing is awesome. I previously used Google Colab to share runnable code with non-dev coworkers, but their file support requires some kludges to get it working decently.

I know I should just RTFM, but are you all working on tools to embed/cross-compile/emulate non-python binaries in here? I know this is not a good approach, but as a researcher I would love to shut down my server infrastructure and just use 3-4 crusty old binaries I rely on directly in the browser.
> if every country goes into the digital fluff economy, nothing real is produced and you are even more dependent on China

This is such a cool idea! I’ve run into the pain of navigating Terraform dependencies before, and your graph-based approach feels really promising.

I’m especially intrigued by the "time machine", how does it manage historical state changes in larger environments without requiring you to start a side-business in cloud storage? ^^

Excited to give this a spin. Amazing work!
The Napoleonic Code is a civil code, not penal, so presumption of innocence is not part of it. Regardless, all European countries have presumption of innocence, except in very specific cases (like England's libel law).

Cfex: A CLI Tool Built on Cloudflared exposing HTTPS/HTTP/3 on your own domain
I recently built cfex, a small CLI tool to simplify how developers, startups, and teams share work-in-progress applications for feedback, testing, or demos.

With just one command:

bash
Copy code
cfex api.yourdomain.com:8080
Your app goes live at https://api.yourdomain.com with HTTPS and HTTP/3 enabled by default. It’s built on top of cloudflared, similar to ngrok, but supports custom domains and leverages Cloudflare's robust infrastructure.

This tool is open source: https://github.com/muthuishere/cfex-cli
I’ve also written more about it here: https://muthuishere.medium.com/one-command-to-go-live-with-cfex-135d74d81b45

Would love to hear your feedback, ideas, or suggestions. Feel free to check it out!
Yay, can't wait to read this. I spent a lot of time tuning prompts for gpt4 DM sessions, and I had a lot of fun. It has SO much potential, and I was pleasantly surprised!

I am not really considering mainstream commercialization, but I just found it really fun to interact with. We just need a customized model full of fantasy text and a little DM RLHF. It's essentially just a story-telling llm, which obviously will need some work before consistent narratives can be delivered to the user.

Not an AI expert or anything, just wanted to share my excitement about this. I urge you to try it out, if you're into this kind of thing. Tell ChaptGPT it's a DM, explain the rules, give it some context on how deliver the narrative and player choices. You can give some story or character exposition to give it a baseline. Its not too bad.
