Depending on how the law is written this may be legal even under US law.

For instance if the law bans US companies from exporting/selling some chips to Chinese companies and that's it then it is unclear to me whether a Chinese company would do anything illegal under US law by buying such chips as it would be for the American seller to refuse.

Anyway, usually this sort of things takes place through intermediaries in third countries so it is difficult to track but obviously it would be stupid to brag about it if that happened.

We had one member of the troup that did the real life Great Escape visit our school.

He handed out schematics of how they tunneled, their day-to-day logistics, communication with the outside, etc.

It was a really fun talk, but it ended on a somber note where those who did not escape were later punished/executed in revenge for the escape taking place.

In this context, someone asked him, "was it worth it?" and all I remember about his answer was him gripping his handout and giving a monosyllable reply.

>even though people are supposed to get a work permit if you come as a tourist and work remotely

This is a super weird "posture" of legislation some countries around the world have, I do not understand the rationale.

If you make money elsewhere, by working elsewhere, never touching nor affecting the local job market, why would you have to get a work permit?

If anything, it's good for countries to have people coming in whose only effect in the economy is spending their money, better yet, money brought from elsewhere, an immediate net gain to that country's wealth.

This article only tests one compositor for Wayland and one for X11. It also doesn't specify if vsync is enabled for either one. Some X11 compositors default to vsync off, whereas every Wayland compositor I've seen defaults to on. This alone would be enough to explain the latency differences measured here.

I’m the cofounder of Life360, a company I’ve grown from seed to IPO, now with about 600 employees. This whole issue can be addressed by embracing a straightforward social contract, something I share openly with everyone I hire:

No promises of lifetime employment. I’m focused on the long-term health of the company, and our needs will inevitably change. If we continue to grow, it’s almost guaranteed that not everyone will be the right fit at every stage.

No expectation of loyalty. The flip side is that we aim to attract ambitious, hungry people, which means we need to provide real opportunities for career advancement. If we can’t, I understand you’ll move on.

If we let someone go after a single bad quarter, that’s on us for being shortsighted. We know people have ups and downs, and we don’t want to be overly sentimental, but we also don’t want to act rashly. On the other hand, if someone’s job-hopping every year, that’s usually a sign of short-term thinking. From 2014–2021, job-hopping didn’t matter much. Now, it’s becoming clear that those signals are important again.

At the end of the day, it’s not about judgment—no good/bad or right/wrong here (aside from obvious dealbreakers like dishonesty). It’s just adults making tradeoffs.

That said, I’ve seen how some companies shy away from being upfront about this, which leads to cynicism. We’ve had moments like that too—at some point, we started calling ourselves “a family.” I shut that down fast. It wasn’t popular, but it helped clarify our stance. You know what you’re signing up for with us.
> This is why Garry Winogrand’s street photography looks so much more powerful

You're just on a different, more professional rail. Talking about professionals doing professional stuff. You don't warm your tires before you go for a drive just because that's why F1 cars have so much more grip in slow corners.

Capturing the perfect moment in the perfect technical conditions is perfect. But that doesn't happen very often in real life with family moments. Most of those perfect moments will be absolutely serendipitous and you'll capture them however you can. Not a single non-photographer looks at the snapshot of the perfect moment and thinks "different ISO would have been so much better, and look at those harsh shadows".

One of the photos most dear to me and my entire family was taken at the light of a low-power infrared heater. Which is to say just enough light to not accidentally poke a finger in your eye. The details are only barely visible but you can tell who's there, everything is as noisy as you can imagine and more, and the brightest thing in the picture is the glow in the dark pacifier between the 2 figures. And no amount of good lighting would have made that picture better without ruining the moment.

In fact almost all of the "most memorable" pictures in my album are technically crap. Over- or underexposed, crappy film stock or digital resolution, bad framing, bad focus, motion blur, fringing, the list goes on to tick all the mistakes one could possibly make. They're all subjectively better than the technically superior shots because the moment they captured was better. If you talk about family it will always be the moment. If you can make it technically good, go for it, it's just icing on the cake.

No it’s worse. The machine proves that spirits don’t exist. That intelligence and consciousness are mechanical concepts easily replicated.

Art and music doesn’t become forbidden. It becomes meaningless when music and art can be trivially created in ways better than any human can do.

Evil and good are human concepts. A machine is not intrinsically either unless we deliberately make it one or the other. That’s another fear people have. That their intrinsic beliefs like good and evil and morals are just arbitrary concepts. To be good or evil are simply instincts programmed into human behavior by evolution. They are strategies for survival and nothing more. The reason we feel conflicted about good and evil is because both of these strategies contribute to survival. The machine intelligence makes what smart people already know more evident to people who don’t know this (you).

And that is the existential dread. True understanding of the miracle of humanity turns the miracle into a mechanical concept and you begin to see your beliefs in deities or greater meanings was delusional because we can build these things ourselves with simple algorithms in ways superior to what it is to be human.

This is not true at all, and your examples are bad.

You don't need to know how btree's work to use SQL, true, but you need to know they exist and how they can be used by the database.

You don't know how to rebuild an engine to use a car, but you need to know what to put in the gas tank, when to change the oil, when to change the tires, what tires you can buy, how much air goes in them. You have to know a lot about how a car works to operate a car, or you have to pay someone to figure it out for you every time something needs done.

Git is the same. You have to know about how it works, not all the details of how it works. You could hire someone to do everything in git for you like you probably do with a car, but Git isn't a tool for stupid babies, it's a tool for professionals, and frankly professionals should know how their professional tools work.

If you can't be bothered or struggle to understand how your tools work as a professional, you should change professions as you are incompetent. If you think it's better if you don't have to know, then you will be passed by like you are standing still in your career by people who don't have qualms about knowing how things work and therefore can solve lots of problems in a couple minutes you think are too icky to bother to understand and would take you weeks.

I'm convinced layoffs are a persistent management memetic where we've convinced ourselves these are necessary, good, and magically creates efficiencies.

In reality it's a desperate shotgunning your org chart since you've apparently no better way to figure out what you need or don't. It's incredibly destabilizing and demotivating and creates a culture as seen in this post where you no longer have workers that feel aligned with the success of the company (because you're telling them they aren't). It should be reserved for absolutely existential moments in the company, not when you're seeing record profitability.

It's all down to how money is issued. The tokens we have to work for are created effortless by bankers from nothing whenever they issue a loan, and then they charge interest on them. This value of the new tokens they create is sucked out of the ones in your bank account, pension etc. It's theft and it's about 7% year.

I think the biggest threat for future NVIDIa right now is their own current success.

Their software platforms and CUDA are a very strong moat against everyone else. I don't see any beating them on that front right now.

The problem is that I'm afraid that all that money sloshing inside the company is rotting the culture and that will compromise future development.

- Grifters are filling out positions in many orgs only trying to milk it as much as possible.
- Old employees become complacent with their nice RSU packages Rest & Vest.

NVIDIA used to be extremely nimble and was way fighting way above it's weight class. Prior to Mellanox acquisition only around 10k employees and after another 10k more.

If there's a real threat to their position at the top of the AI offerings will they be able to roll up the sleeves and get back to work or will the organizations be unable to move ahead.

Long term I think it's inevitable that China will take over the technology leadership. They have the population and they have the education programs and the skill to do this. At the same time in the old western democracies things are becoming stagnant and I even dare to say that the younger generations are declining. In my native country the educational system has collapsed, over 20% kids that finish elementary school cannot read or write. They can mouth-breath and scroll TikTok though but just barely since their attention span is about the same as gold fish.

That happens anyway. The claim is legitimate, so objections would be half hearted. It may well invite the aggressor country to return the favor though (in that case stop trading with them completely)
This is wrong. First mover advantage is strong. This is why OpenAI is much bigger than Mixtral despite what you said.

Elevate Access Token Security by Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession
I'm not condoning it at all, but I think it's easy to understand why commanding officers didn't like their troops fraternizing with the enemy. If GI John and Soldat Hans share a coffee and a cigarette together, and perhaps even a pleasant chat, they will quickly come to realize that both of them are human beings, with human feelings, a family worrying about them, children possibly, hopes and dreams, and so on. And once you are acutely aware that your enemy is just like you, only perhaps speaks a different language, you are much-much less inclined to shoot them and stop being an efficient soldier.

I've never been in a war, and hope I never live to see myself in one, but the only way I can see one human viciously trying to kill another is by not thinking of their enemy as a human being, but rather just a thing.
Both yes and no are one syllable. Your drawn out drama-incucing style of writing left a huge hanger that makes it unpleasurable.
Not really. I just means that it doesn't grow too fast for itself and gives people chance to accumulate it - its kind of poetic.

Ultimately it will just keep going up in price relative to everything else and people will invest simply based on that without understanding why - similar to the real estate investment market.
Yes, we tried a lot of different medications at different dosages. Had multiple hospitalizations and my life hasn't been returned to normal yet. Even years after the fact.

> it's from when he's emailing me his time spent on various tasks and I can see he's wildly passing the 40 hour mark.

I'll grant you that it is red flag that he would want to take your energy telling how long something took. It doesn't even mean anything in the given line of work. An interesting problem might be given hundreds of hours of thought – in the shower, while sleeping, etc. – but only take 15 minutes to type afterwards. What would you report? The 100 hours? The 15 minutes? Invent some kind of weighting system to offset parallel activities? And for what? None of them mean anything.

The manager's job is to take the unnecessary burden of externalities off the rest of the team, but it is a team and that means it has to cut both ways. The rest of the team has to take the unnecessary burden of internality off the manager. If that was the best political way to say "please stop, you are needlessly wasting my energy", then that makes sense, I suppose. Or, perhaps a good manager is brutally honest above being politically sensitive? A team is, after all, characterized by their willingness to remain bonded even amid strife. Without that, you just have a group of people.
> Thus, SMM, because there was no other way to hook power management on a 386 laptop running " normal" DOS

In theory, there was: you could have a separate microcontroller, accessed through some of the I/O ports, doing the power management; it's mostly how it's done nowadays, with the EC (Embedded Controller) on laptops (and nowadays there's also the PSP or ME, which is a separate processor core doing startup and power management for the main CPU cores). But back then, it would also be more expensive (a whole other chip) than simply adding an extra mode to the single CPU core (multiple cores back then usually required multiple CPU chips).

I don’t see what more US banks could do. I have been transferring money instantly to people online for over a decade for free. They have websites/apps, I can withdraw paper money around the world, what other utility could a “bank” provide me?

They are utilities that keep a database associating account number and dollar number.

I earn a few thousand dollars from them every year in the form of sign up bonuses, and I have never spent a dime in fees for having an account or transferring money.

If the US government offered a more protected way of saving money not subject to know-your-customer-revoke-access-to-your-property-at-anytime-under-the-guise-of-potential-criminal-activity laws, then I would use them.

They didn’t say it was nothing they said it was nearly nothing “no practical effect” on the economy, which is true.

One of the exciting and appealing parts about remote work is the enormous lifestyle increase you can get by living in a country where cost of living is low and the currency exchange is favourable.

NZ cost of living is pretty high, and also housing is a problem, the government press release and posturing is acting like this is going to bring a swath of digital workers to accelerate the NZ economy (they actually said that was the primary reason for this). Which is just not true at all.

In NZ on a 6 figure USD salary, you can get a nice apartment (single bedroom) in the city and live comfortably.

In southeast Asian countries you could have a villa with a pool and a personal chef, cleaner, for less money. Same in most of Europe if you go to the right places (not the big cities). How do I know? I was a travelling nomad for 6 years and lived in 6 different countries. NZ is where I have settled now, but there’s NO WAY a tidal wave of digital nomads are coming here to revitalise our economy, like the ministers claimed.
