There is a fair possibility this becomes true! Elon Musk wants hundreds of starships to visit Mars on a regular schedule. Beating him to the punch by a few years would result in a Pyrrhic mission for JPL.
I think it's a reasonable question to ask, and there's surely some churn that we could do without. But don't underestimate the effort that goes into device drivers.
This is one of the main reasons why there are more dogs than children in SF. There are some good public schools but parents don't want to deal with the vagaries of the lottery system so they move out to other school districts.

At least in my area, it’s helped me realize which city I’m usually in typically has the best prices and realized that prices tend to go up during the day and drop late in the evening.

There’s about a 13% difference between the cheapest and most expensive at the moment.
Absolutely. Time of day (night driving especially) and speeding are major parameters for hazard avoidance.

Minor nit: I expect someone driving in a suburb to pay more in premiums because...deer can't sue you.
Zuck is cosplaying as Logan Paul and adopting more conservative rhetoric because he saw which way the political winds were blowing, just like everyone else who needs the help of our former and next president.
These interview practices are probably in part because of the huge number of applicants trying to get into Meta, which allows them to rachet up the difficulty to the highest level.

My assumption based on some interview experience articles[1][2] is that there's an internal arms race between the recruiting and engineering at Meta where candidates are not forwarded for the interview process until they feel sufficiently prepared, often giving them months (in any other company, I feel this would be a big red flag), and interviewers expecting the equivalent of Djikstra or Knuth to join their team, regardless of what the team actually does. (I assume not everyone writes distributed system or database implementations from scratch at Meta.)

Left turns on green (with no green arrow) are also pretty bad imo, as are right turns on green with no arrow. In both cases pedestrians are supposed to have right-of-way, but cars often don't respect it.
Proof of what exactly are you asking for?

Certainly there is zero question that today's "AI" systems are making progress on a wide array of benchmarks. You can see that here:

https://aiindex.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/HAI_...

Look in the section starting on page 73. Or just examine this image:

https://aiindex.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/fig_...

There's your "speculative fiction" you seem so fond of.

Now, if your argument is no more than "who cares about benchmarks, 'AI' still isn't 'Real AI'" then all you're doing is repeating the 'AI Effect'[1] thing over and over again and refusing to acknowledge the obvious reality around you.

The AI's we have today, whether "real AI" or not, are highly capable in many important areas (and yes, far from perfect in others). But there is a starting point to talk about, and yes there is reason to think in terms of "rate of change" unless you have some evidence to support a belief that AI progress has reached a maximum and will progress no further.

I don't have to prove anything, as the evidence was already collected and reported in peer-reviewed journals.

Again, evidence for what exactly? What are you even claiming? All I see Bob claiming, and what I support him(?) in is the idea that there is legit reason to worry about the economic impact of AI in the near('ish?) future.

Exactly. It’s amazing that ads-ers send bits regardless and expect them to be consumed as is, as if it was some fundamental law of nature to do so. Simply don’t send, wink. That wink makes them feel uneasy because it breaks that wonderful narrative of theirs. “If you don’t want to watch ads, just don’t visit”. Yeah, just paywall us then, come on, we’re all yours, signed in, vendor locked. I’m so ready to leave and delete the bookmark, what are you waiting for?
> I’ve absolutely had similar retirement account logins that became difficult to access once I left that employer.

Yes, but your employer's email domain wasn't repurposed. It's still an operating business, and the account is still there, and still yours. And for accounting reasons they still remember who you are and can recover your important information for creditors, etc... The fact that it's difficult for you to access that account is a feature and not a bug, because it means it's difficult for others too. But you can, and people do all the time.

The case here is failed businesses who have abandoned their domains and employee account history. Almost by definition that's a violation of financial regulation already. And this, btw, is the reason why DankStartup employees couldn't use their work emails to open Vanguard accounts.

I guess that's why Walgreen's has all their items locked down. Because the shoplifters shoplift irrespective of consequences.

There is nothing wrong with reductor ad absurdum to make a point about dependency and categories. It is the primary use case.

I think there are a million practical challenges to implementing a fine. I wonder if there is enough incentives to draw employers to a verified list service.

* smart tech folks who value education not seeing education value in local schools

Oh, I hear you. In some cases, they may be required to document how many candidates went through the entire process, to "prove" that it was genuinely competitive.

I think "packaging" here refers to the process of putting the silicon die in its plastic casing and connecting the die's pad to the case's pins, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit_packaging
"Packaging" in this context means taking the wafer of compute die (made in Arizona), dicing it up into individual die, mounting it onto a silicon interposer (an even bigger die, no idea where that's made, but probably taiwan) along with a bunch of HBM die, then mounting that Si interposer on a somewhat larger, very fine-pitched circuit board ('substrate') that is essentially a breakout for power and high-speed I/O from the compute die. That thing is the packaged 'CoWoS' system, where CoWoS==Chip-on-wafer-on-substrate, that eventually gets attached to a 'normal' PCB.
that's such a mad, fear-based way to run shop.
I'm just pointing out that "it's a protocol" describes nothing useful.

>how much more confirmation do we need that we are in a recession?

Were we in a recession in the 90s, as the rust belt was hollowed out and earning its name, and Wall street reaped the once in a generation windfall of outsourcing an entire country's manufacturing base overseas? Many would say those were the good times. White collar professionals had their time in the sun for those couple of decades, and GDP exploded. But the working class folks were wiped out.

Now it's our turn at the high end of technology. Once top paid SWEs are being reduced to the understanding that their careers are probably over. The economy today is chugging along just fine, but our little niche of high earning specialty labor is over, just as it was for the auto workers 30 years ago. The capitalists have almost fully completed their capture of the last remaining means of production out of their control; intellectual labor.
I feel like I see a lot of fairly crazy intersections in my US city, where it feels like they break at least one expectation of the simple red/yellow/green patterns from drivers ed. I wouldn’t want to trust anyone’s life to assuming that a green arrow should mean I have the unconflicted right of way, let alone that others are even paying attention to their own signal
That kind of observation would have a much more dramatic impact, because it would imply that the theories about what the CMB is are completely wrong.

The CMB originates from what's called the surface of last scattering. Prior to that time, density was such that photons couldn't travel very far without being absorbed. During that period, matter was in an ionized plasma state, consisting of free protons, neutrons, electrons, and some light ionized nuclei like deuterium, without any bound electrons. In this scenario, there were no objects bigger than a light nucleus. It would be impossible for stars or galaxies or even dust particles to form in that situation.

Reinterpretation would depend on what the evidence was. This isn't an area that we're particularly unsure of. There's a very comprehensive theory of the evolution of the early universe, supported by all the evidence we have for quantum theory. I recommend Steven Weinberg's book The First Three Minutes if you're interested.
In terms of a cultural moment it feels like the 80s. Millions of his voters weren’t ideological conservatives but didn’t fully disagree and like the strength Reagan projected after the turmoil of the mid 60s through the 70s.

I like writing them when I think there are aspects to why I'd be a good fit for the role that don't get revealed sufficiently by listing skills on a resume or I have questions that can save everyone a ton of time. It seems like people do at least read them before interviews most of the time so I think there's some value.

You haven't been driving long (or at all) if you think trusting other drivers' turn signals is a good idea. Theories that look good through a bus window often don't work as well when viewed through a windshield.

That's not countering the argument that steering is what is preventing the bike from falling over rather than the gyroscopic effect of the wheels. You'd have to tie off the handlebars with a static line before rolling it in order to prove that it was the gyroscopic effect keeping the bike upright.
> Snapshots: very useful to make backups and quickly go back to an older version of a file when mistakes are made

Piling on here: Sending snapshots to remote machines (or removable drives) is very easy. That makes snapshots viable as a backup mechanism (because they can exist off-site and offline).
It's not pedantic at all. They cost so much less that it renders the entire calculation meaningless. Almost all of the cost of a consumer VPN account is user acquisition (a cost they don't bear in this case). Operations cost peanuts - maybe $1/mo, if that.

Isn't the average tenure low enough that after five years, most of your workforce has turned over?
Seems like it might be the exception proving the rule. People say “every” restaurant these days needs to use something like Toast to provide online ordering and needs to play nice with DoorDash for delivery and needs to host ghost kitchens to increase income, etc. Of course there’s that one old-school place with the established reputation that does simple dine-in only and is thriving. But the new upstart can’t just not play the game - that privilege is reserved for those who have already won.
me too, but in the recent political climate any type of enforcement has been out of fashion. I guess things will change soon, and probably too quickly and too far (as they always do).

Thanks for the link! I wasn't aware of some of these workarounds.

Your link is very helpful, but also notes some of the limitations. Namely, this doesn't work if the software has been purged due to not being updated recently, and it doesn't really work to find new-to-me software (that I haven't purchased previously).

Even if it's technically possible to reinstall software that I've previously purchased, it is very limited in its ability to install new-to-me software.

Musk just finds regulations icky, because he prefers to chase profits without bothering with governments.

I'll bet most people think that the 'good rich people' are the ones who share their political ideology and support causes that they agree with.

A 'bad rich person' is often someone who supports the opposition party or once tweeted something disagreeable. It doesn't matter if they employ thousands of people and generously give to charity.

I don’t understand your complaint. People are free to vocally denounce Zionism. These founders have not done that. Quite the opposite, Snyk has offices in Israel and has been vocal about their ties to the IDF. It’s absolutely within my agency to not use their products. Again, there’s zero downside to do that.
I largely see it as the digital next step up from something like the Mythic Game Master Emulator, which is popular for solo play and things like trying out new systems.

And there's quite a lot of us that like to play but because of life commitments, getting together with a group on a regular schedule is difficult.
Motivations can vary on a diurnal basis too. Or based on location. It means something different if I’m using homedepot.com at home or standing in an aisle at the store.

And with physical retailers with online catalogs, an online sale of one item may cannibalize an in-store purchase of not only that item but three other incidental purchases.

But at the end of the day your 60/40 example is just another way of saying: you don’t try to compare two fractions with a different denominator. It’s a rookie mistake.
Yup. The damage caused by that nonsense will haunt us for decades to come.

“It’s what everybody wanted” is something I often say. “Everybody was cheering this on”.

(quote data)
'data

Quoting is used to obtain a literal symbol (instead of a variable reference), a literal list (instead of a function call), or a literal vector. ' is simply a shorthand for a quote form. For example,

'x ⇒ x
'(1 2 3) ⇒ (1 2 3)
'#(1 (2 3) 4) ⇒ #(1 (2 3) 4)
(quote x) ⇒ x
(quote (1 2 3)) ⇒ (1 2 3)
(quote #(1 (2 3) 4)) ⇒ #(1 (2 3) 4)

Note that an application must not attempt to modify literal lists or vectors obtained from a quote form, since they may be in read-only memory.

I am very much opposed to unions,I think in general , with time unions workers are just trading one oppressing power structure where they have not much control for another.
However, i think with the way things go, it's inevitable that IT/Knowledge worker with start unionizing.

That triangle doesn't mark the stop line though, it's further back. If cars stopped at the triangle they would block pedestrians crossing the street.
Nearly all of these look like demo projects. You're making inferences about an entire group of developers based on a meme plus a search over the very 'worst' offenders.
He's right, but having failed a number of times, after you've put all your savings into the business, fired all your team, notified and disappointed all of your investors and customers, helped your team find new gigs, filed all the dissolution paperwork, handled all the taxes, disposed responsibly of all of the assets and you now find yourself out of work and often out of cash, occasionally you'll forget to jump through all the hoops to close down all of the SaaS accounts before you stop paying the bill personally to host the email accounts.

Of course perfect world you shut down earlier and in a more orderly fashion, but there are so many cases of companies almost failing and then not, it's hard to shutter a company when there is a chance you may go out of business - especially when you feel you're getting close to another raise or becoming default alive :(

In polite terms it can also mean “the featured article”. And IMO it makes more sense to read it that way in a top-level comment.

Whereas reading it as the f’ing article makes more sense when the word “TFA” is used in a response to another comment like “well, you say that but TFA said such and such”.

DEI was a song and dance yes, but it was essentially a mandated one from the government that was requested by the companies themselves. If governments didnt subsidize it, companies would have never implemented it.

Companies wanted cheap labor so they lobbied the government for more immigration and DEI policies, in return they they have to perform the DEI song and dance in HR mandated workshops, like dogs begging for a treat.
If you're submitting a hundred applications a day, you're doing it wrong. You should get better results aiming for just a few a day, but each tailored.

make an anon account.
I know at least one intersection that crosses a bike path and walking path near me that changed recents so now oncoming traffic goes with the walk signal while turns are forbidden, then only right turns are allowed, then only left turns. It takes slightly longer to go through the cycle (particularly on busy days where pedestrians don’t yield the street for people to turn), but otherwise makes it much less stressful to go through that intersection regardless of my mode of transit around it
