Yes on a pragmatic basis, if the coworker is male and gets upset at being referred to by "he", but it goes against your own personal beliefs to refer to him as "she", it's best just to refer to him by name and practise wording your sentences to be pronounless. And, where possible and not disadvantageous, to avoid situations where he's involved in your own work.

With this approach, he's less likely to make a complaint to HR about you (though he might notice the careful lack of "she", but that's much more difficult to make a substantiated complaint about), and you still get to stick to your own beliefs.

It's still somewhat vexing to have to do this, but at least it prevents you from getting in the crosshairs of HR.

I have absolutely no insight into their operations or requirements, but when I see someone forcing traffic to their servers, I immediately think they’re looking for metadata, or training NN models on your data. NN generating 3D models is pretty valuable at the moment, and taking users data to train models without informing them is for some inexplicable reason considered ok even by many people that get foaming-at-the-mouth-mad over other privacy violations. Like I said, I’m just spitballing and have no knowledge of this operation, but it would give me pause before using it as a professional 3D artist.

Totally! It's a legitimate thing! I just wish that I had more tools for dynamically providing this information to CI so that it could work better but I could also write relatively general tooling with a general purpose language.

The ideal for me is (this is very silly and glib and a total category error) LSP but for CI. Tooling that is relatively normalized, letting me (for example) have a pytest plugin that "does sharding" cleanly across multiple CI operators.

There's some stuff and conventions already of course, but in particular caching and spinning up jobs dynamically are still not there.

It took a decade to get that much. Getting the rest, assuming they aren't able to shrink the chunks, would require a project equal in duration and scope. The JWST can probably capture it with similar resolution in a fraction of the time. If the JWST didn't exist, they'd probably go for another project to fill in the gaps, but it doesn't make sense when a much better telescope is available.
Ask HN: How to pre-authorize runtime permissions for Chrome extensions
I have a simple `selenium` script that does not persist user data, that is, a new `--user-data-dir` is generated each time it is started.

It opens some tabs and uses the Fireshot API to take screenshots.

However, enable the Fireshot API requires granting the runtime permission `tabs` to the extension, and it can only be operated in a GUI environment. I hope to pre-authorize the runtime permissions required by the extension when running the script. All attempts below failed:

- Use `options.add_experimental_option('prefs', prefs)` to inject the `f"extensions.settings.{EXT_ID}.runtime_granted_permissions"` property into the `Preferences` file
- Backup and restore the `userDataDir/Preferences` and/or `userDataDir/Secure Preferences`
- Use `initial_preferences` to load extension
- Use the Chrome group policy, Also, it is scoped to the entire system or current user, and I just want to load the policy using command line parameters so that it works for the current example
- Generate new user data dir, authorized runtime permission, backup once and restore every time the script running

Is there any other method besides the above? I can even accept modifying the opaque sqlite files under the User Data folder or Profile folder
Out of curiosity, do have any citations on how those exercises don't enable learning?

If I remember right the original xbox cpu (intel) was a derivative of the 733 MHz Pentium 3, which came in a 'socket 370' package for assembly on regular x86 motherboards. It's several generations beyond the socket 7. The xbox cpu to me looks similar to the soldered onboard pentium 3 mobile interface used in laptop manufacturing at the same time, no socket, just BGA soldered onto the board.

google "pentium 3 coppermine" for some more info on the series of CPUs...

Hi, thanks!

My unsolicited advice is: whether they realize it or not, _everyone transitions_ ;) http://okayfail.com/garden/everyone-transitions.html

I came out socially for most of a year before I committed to hormones, and it took me another year and a half to commit to removing my facial hair. At some point it really is a leap of faith. But you can do a lot of exploring and trying things out until you feel comfortable – or decide it's not really what you want.

Either way, good luck!

This is genuinely absurd. 99.99% of the time the issue of 'where do female identify rapists belong' is brought up, it's because someone who disagrees with the broader point is trying to create some kind of gotcha.

It happens constantly online. Leftist A will say something about respecting gender self-identification and then rightwinger B will manipulate the conversation so that the leftist is now trying to defend putting biological men in women's prisons [1]

It's incredibly disengenous and bad faith.

[1] regardless of your moral position on this issue, there's a fuckload of other awful things about american prisons that these type of people are rarely concerned about.

Mandatorily attaching a time zone to an event is the design defect. When a person in the real world is given the times of events, he is given those in the time local to where the event is happening. And when that person gets there, his phone will acquire that local time.

So why on earth should anyone have to tediously select the destination time zone (which is not shown by default in appointments on iOS or Mac) for EVERY appointment, every time, when you nearly always want to refer to the time SHOWN ON THE PHONE? Come on, this scenario is absurd.
Oh nooooooooooo!
It's like you read my response and failed to understand a thing.. I specifically mentioned concrete figures because politicians say all kinds of random shit and Trump is particularly prone to hyperbole, but if you're going to measure the actual deeds and trends behind words, you need to look at metrics, and for all Obama's soft words on immigrants, his admin actually deported more of them than Trump's, it's a noteworthy detail, and a valid measurement, though it's far from the only worthwhile thing to keep in mind about his stance on migrants.

I too think Trump says grotesque things on many fronts, and his words about immigrants are partly in that range, but it's tedious to see the often unfounded accusations progressives casually throw at him and those who support him without even always knowing what the fuck they're talking about.
Couldn’t have said it any better, thank you.

Surely the author only licenses the copyright to the publisher for hardback, paperback and ebook, with an agreed-upon royalty rate?

And if someone wants the rights for some other purpose, like translation or making a film or producing merchandise, they have to go to the author and negotiate additional rights?

That's a nice survey. However for kalman filters it doesn't give practical examples or the different techniques to estimate the parameters. It doesn't cover adaptive modifications to kalmans like you often want in robotics or other applications to handle non-process external events which kalmans don't handle well.

I don't get why people would be so kind as to use the "not interested" button, on Twitter or anywhere. Just block them all.

There should be only so many of them that are capable of writing passable spams that can be force pushed without mentally destabilizing the team that does it.

Not that anyone should go back to a dead website, just that not blocking is too nice.
Yes. It stands to reason that you'll only see the ones where you actually are.

While I do agree with you regarding encouraging bad secret management practices, one fairly nice solution I’ve landed on is using terraform to manage such things. I guess you could even take it a step further to have a custom lint step (running on GHA, naturally) that disallows secrets configured in a certain manner and blocks a deploy (again, on GHA) on failure.

I guess what I’m saying is, it’s GHA all the way down.

Seriously? That's your take on a specific reference to hard numbers? Has Trump derangement syndrome simply made some people lose their capacity for reason? I don't believe Trump is specifically pro-immigration.

I think he leans more to whatever the hell benefits his popularity with the people most likely to support him in any given moment and part of that revolves around harping about illegal immigrants, though the actual numbers in terms of deportations are worth looking at and they show a tendency during his previous administration that didn't reflect the extremism of his talk, So far. It's possible that the next four years show us something far worse.

TSMC is more responsible for AMD's success vs. Intel than AMD is. Unfortunately for AMD, Nvidia uses TSMC too.

> ...he'd be much more worried about whether AMD management have any interest in companies like his succeeding.

This reads as incredibly entitled. AMD owes him nothing, especially if he's opposed to the leadership's vision[1] and being belligerent about it.

There is maybe 1 or 2 companies with enough cachet to demand management changes at a supplier like AMD - and they have market caps in the trillions.

1. Lisa Su hasn't been shy about AMD being all about partnering with large partners who can move volume. My interpretation of this is AMD prefers dealing with Sony, Microsoft, hyperscalers, and HPC builders, then possibly tier II OEMs. Small startups are probably much further down the line, close to consumers at the tail end of AMD's attention queue. I don't like it as a consumer, but it seems like a sound strategy since the partners will shoulder most of the software effort, which is a weakness AMD has against Nvidia. They can focus on cranking out ok-to-great hardware at more-than-ok prices and build up a warchest for future investments, and who knows when this hype bubble will burst and take VC dollars with it, or someone invents an architecture that's less demanding on compute (if you're more optimistic)
Wow, they managed to get an LLM (and a small one no less) that can acknowledge that it doesn't know details about obscure data structures

> Alternatively, perhaps using a wavelet tree or similar structure that can efficiently represent and query for subset membership. These structures are designed for range queries and could potentially handle this scenario better.

> But I'm not very familiar with all the details of these data structures, so maybe I should look into other approaches.

This is a few dozen lines in to a query asking DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-GGUF:F16 to solve what I think is an impossible CS problem, "I need a datastructure that given a fairly large universe of elements (10s of thousands or millions) and a bunch of sets of those elements (10s of thousands or millions) of reason able size (up to roughly 100 elements in a set) can quickly find a list of subsets for a given set. "

I'm also impressed that it immediately started thinking about tries and, which are the best solutions that I know of/stackoverflow came up with for basically the same problem (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6512400/fast-data-struct...). It didn't actually return anything using those, but then I wouldn't really expect it to since the solution using them isn't exactly "fast" just "maybe less slow".

PS. If anyone knows an actually good solution to this, I'd appreciate knowing about it. I'm only mostly sure it's impossible.

There is currently a risk asymmetry in startup world that drives away people who could do good work.

Investors know the long odds of success, so they invest in twenty to thirty companies and wait for one to get big.

Founders and employees can't diversify like that, because you only have so many working years. To mitigate this we have decided to award successful founders with huge paydays as a lure to others to throw their hats in the ring. This has some malign effects, namely unsuccessful founders and employees get bupkis. It also attracts the wrong sort of personality to be a founder, selecting for too much risk appetite. (At least what I consider the wrong sort for building a sustainably profitable business.)

I have an idea for how to solve this and I wonder if it's already been tried or if there are holes in it. The idea is to spread the risk of starting a company across something like an accelerator class. If one company in that class gets big, it would be contractually obligated to hire and grant shares from some pool to other members of that class. This would be at the cost of the winning founders' stakes.

The upside for winners would be much lower, but the downside would be lower too. This would attract a different sort of person to this accelerator, and be a differentiator for selecting talent.

I think it's to try to help them by offering compassion, understanding, and trying to create harmony.

Try to look at it from an outside perspective instead of through the lens of our own preconception. Humans are subject to making terrible mistakes and lapses of judgment. Sometimes things spiral out of control. We all have our demons, so to speak.

It's very easy to judge a tech multimillionaire bro and saying he should know better, he deserves this, etc. And I mean easy as in cheap. It's the prevailing view and it feels "fair" to a lot of people who didn't get so lucky or so far ahead in life, so they don't feel the need to be sympathetic. But it adds no value to the situation, so it's a pretty useless take. And it's not like the world has a limited supply of sympathy, so it's OK to offer it even in these situations.

At this point I think the guy just needs help.
