Seriously. Headline here really is "Government is buying data from a data provider." Now do Starlink. Or Palantir.

I've yet to hear why this is a corrupt or inappropriate purchase. I might change my mind if I hear evidence on why this was an inappropriate contract, but right now this reeks of dictator-grade fear-targeting of political opponents.

This is why a government is supposed to have an independent judiciary. Or inspector generals who haven't been purged.
I genuinely don’t know which country you believe has checks and balances.

Some languages don't give that opportunity. E.g. the "if err != nil" blocks in Go are effectively required and obvious, but are mandated by the language.

Other things are complicated to abstract for the boilerplate they avoid. The kind of thing that avoids 100 lines of code but causes errors that take 20 minutes to understand because of heavy use of reflection/inferred types in generics/etc. The older I get, the more I think "clever" reflection is more of a sin than boring boilerplate.

As far as we know the first governments predated written history, so I'm not sure how you'd ever be able to demonstrate this.

/r/worldnews is one of the most astroturfed places on the internet. Some of those commenters are so nationalist and bloodthirsty they unnerve me. The ban hammer is extremely active on this sub, and for saying completely innocuous political statements about personal preference. I'm absolutely sure this is broader than just that sub but I've probably heard this specific complaint from probably a dozen other people too.

I will say, the subreddit system does a decent job of quarantining the dysfunction to that sub. The mod quality is everything and the mod drama is an absolute dumpster fire. (Extremely curiously, Ghislaine Maxwell seems to have been one of the most prolific of the mods, and one of her suspected accounts may be one of the most successful (karma-wise) posters of all reddit.) But on the flipside, /r/askhistorians is still one of the best resources on the internet. Many of the specialty subreddits I frequent (Aviation, UkraineRussiaReport, video game subs, several miscellaneous african subs) are still functioning fine.

They churn through employees fast and they usually exit through burnout (no offloading) and the people wanting to work there skew towards young people who don't know what they're doing. A lot of work gets delayed, dropped, etc and some bad suppliers even take advantage of that ("the last person said they'd do X").

I know it's en-vogue to hate on Elon companies, and a lot of people would love to hear that the World's Richest Man is having financial issues, but in reality it's a bunch of starry-eyed newgrads trying to make the world better but taking on more than they can handle.
I go to extremes compared to most others, but I log into YT with a browser profile where history is not kept and don't log in. The front page is basically empty. I have a local web page with links to creators whose content I enjoy. I check out one of my favorite creators and see what new videos they have to offer. The benefit of this is that the first few rounds of recommendations are actually mildly useful since the algorithm knows nothing about you and you haven't showed it much for it to use since I'm usually logging in through a vpn.

It's crazy that the best experience (for me, anyway) is achieved by giving it the least amount of information possible.
>I think China will capture Taiwan in the next two years.

This is really bullshit

1) Those fabs would get damaged just due to war

2) Those fabs could be destroyed intentionally by Taiwan (or anyone else like US) either via missile or from inside

2.1) Equipment in those fabs can be remotely disabled

3) Those fabs need very skilled people to operate

4) Those fabs need very very skilled people to advance, move forward, if not, then they will quickly get behind

5) Those fabs are dependent on western supply chains like ASML machines

6) Those fabs are dependent on western customers

Earthquake destroying TSMC fabs is more likely than China taking over them and using them as nothing happened

I can't believe this hasn't been done yet, perhaps it is a cost issue.

My literal first thought about AI was wondering why we couldn't just put it in a loop. Heck, one update per day, or one update per hour would even be a start. You have a running "context", the output is the next context (or a set of transformations on a context that is a bit larger than the output window). Then ramp that up ... one loop per minute, one per second, millisecond, microsecond.

That power comes from the idea that the federal employees can shut down government operations if they stop working. This administration (supposedly) wants dearly to shut down government operations, so the union doesn't have any power.

“One of Potter’s attorneys, Jessica Underwood, said Potter received a Jan. 13 letter from Clare Locke demanding that she correct her posts, apologize to UnitedHealth and condemn threats of violence that the law firm said resulted from the posts.”

Ha, nope! Corporations aren’t people. I don’t care if it’s legal or not. UHC is evil and they know it.
But for purposes of debating what someone should do illegal and unenforced generates the same outcomes as legal and if we're only concerned about outcomes it's rational to treat them as equivalent.
Depends exactly what you want to do. C is not very popular at all in professional settings - C++ is far more popular. I would say if you know Rust then C++ isn't very hard though. You'll write better C++ code too because you'll naturally keep the good habits that the Rust compiler enforces and the C++ compiler doesn't.
> if the building is on fire

If you're already allowing the question to be begged, there's really no need for specificity in the argument.

Because if there was no law being broken, that means that the building was not on fire. People tell me that shouting "fire!" is supposed to be bad when there is no fire. I don't think they would accept it as being "low-specificity."

A while back I had worse eyesight on one eye than the other, and the result was that if I closed just my good eye, after a few seconds, I'd see nothing with both eyes, because even though my bad eye was still seeing the world, my brain was so used to the opposite being true it sketched in the darkness from the closed eye.

What seems to happen is your brain learns to ignore the signal from one of the eyes if the other is "malfunctioning" somehow.
I am not nitpicking and in general am in support of offering more diverse options. However, in my experience I can't remember a single event where soft drinks where not offered in additional to alcohol: pre DEI or during the DEI era.

As a vegetarian, I really struggled finding good non-meat options though.
> Where have DEI initiatives lowered standards of hiring at Google?

Other than DeepMind, almost everywhere at Google. For Google to be wasting time on useless initiatives instead of remaining competitive against other companies would have made the difference between survival in this AI race ever since their CEO (Sundar) panicked.

It is no wonder many ex-Googlers have lost confidence and left for their competitors who are solely focused on destroying Google after they lost the lead and created an opening.

> I think you’re making that up!

Really.

How exactly is DEI going to save Google in the very deep trouble that they are already in? Losing lots of *key* talent, potential anti-trust breakup, frontier AI companies like OpenAI going after them.

I don't think you are paying close attention. Will more DEI initiatives and hires save Google and stop their own CEO from panicking?

> Be specific, don't deflect and shift into general discourse topics. I am not talking about distractions at work, I'm asking about your specific claim that hiring standards were lowered.

You deflected and did not pay attention. My reply was very specific even after answering your strawman question. My question is very simple:

How is DEI hiring going to save Google right now given all the trouble that they are in?

> accuracy was like 96% of that of the vendor and price was significantly cheaper.

I would like to know how this 96% was tested. If you use a human to do random sample based testing, well how do you adjust the random sample for variations in distribution of errors that vary like a small set of documents could have 90% of the errors and yet they are only 1% of the docs?
I think archive.org deserves more funding and I also think they need to decide if they're an archive, a library, or a pirate site. Since each has a different set of costs, legal risk, and projected longevity.

For the record my opinion is that they need to focus on archival and with a few tweaks could make it safe for more users to upload more material. Going legit archive (as their name implies) instead of hiding behind the DMCA and playing high-stakes poker with copyright law would also make it possible for more entities to provide direct support.

I also disagree that NARA and LoC is subject to whims of the electorate. The Library of Congress is set up to serve, well, Congress. Who funds it. Lotta barriers to cross there, even in these weird times.

I'll take that risk over one guy with limited governance who seems genuinely surprised that he keeps gets hacked and sued. There's a chance the whole thing goes away because he couldn't resist serving up free Frank Sinatra records and got hit with a $621 million lawsuit after he thrice refused to take the stuff down.
That is such a rookie mistake. It's not some hidden information that bcrypt has a 72 char limit. Pretty widely documented in multiple implementations and languages.

How does a company whose only job is security screw that up so badly?
Modern 'democratic' govts are actually a sophisticated form of the what is typically considered the mafia. Killing their rivals has been replaced with 'defeating' their rivals in an election. So now they need to worry less if their rivals will kill them.

Then they also they send you a nice itemized printed tax bill versus the the mafia which would send their henchmen to knock at your door for the protection money. All in all in the west humanity has progressed! /s
One has to wonder what our "hate running water" thing is - ie something we feel compelled to do which seems perfectly sensible to us but is really just an evolutionary gimmick that some other species would think is weird.
Yeah Rust compiles slowly, so we need two more half-baked languages - Zig and Roc, both of which I couldn't care less.

Rust's slow compilation comes from lots of features and an excellent generated machine code quality. Both Zig and Roc will be equally slow or slower if they match what Rust offers.

If all they want is fast compilation, they can just try Pascal.
But why not bcrypt the password, but sha the cache key on top?
Even if you believe that Israelis are mass murderers, and even if you are willing to ignore that plenty of other groups have killed far more people, there's zero justification for making this statement about Jews and not Israelis.

what myth are you talking about?

The study found that washed eggs had higher bacterial counts in their contents after storage compared to unwashed eggs, particularly at higher temperatures. Key findings include:

Cold Storage (4°C for 8 weeks): There was no significant difference in bacterial counts between washed and unwashed eggs.

Warm Storage (30°C for 12 days): Washed eggs showed significantly higher bacterial contamination, suggesting that washing increased the likelihood of bacterial penetration.

Bacterial Types: The number of hemolytic bacteria and coli-aerogenes was also higher in washed eggs.
> same cost of doing business

In aggregate, sure, but people make personal decisions for personal reasons, not because of aggregates.

Early in my career I had an opportunity that looked like a 92% chance (based on stats of previous people going through the program) of a nice tech job and an 8% chance of >2yrs of financial problems keeping me out of tech (1st year going into debt for a below-CoL internship type thing, 2nd year working 80+hrs/week in a decidedly non-tech job to pay off that debt, not having time to devote to portoflios and programming better). On average the program is great, but I didn't take it because an 8% chance of major life problems was too risky for my other goals at the time (early marriage, wife still in school, ...).

That's what I meant by "self insurance." If you add up thousands of events, each of which are fine on average, then the aggregate is likely fine. If one of them is devastating though, the risk of devastation is high if you only have a few events.

> pitch in and help

I'm not familiar enough with rural CO culture to comment. In other rural areas I've seen, neighbors are happy to help with labor (coming together to ward off wolves, helping rebuild broken structures, ...). They're happy to help with physical goods that are effectively a manifestation of labor (bringing over dinner as you're struggling financially or what have you). They're not going to give you a new cow though. Your finances are still hosed if the wolf gets to you.
But that is where servo can fill the niche, focus on modern/fast parts, ignore legacy compatibility.
I really liked it. I found it to be quite difficult, but somehow managed to solve the problem in 4 tries. At first I didn't quite realize that you can put opposing pieces on the board so I think I wasted one or two turns. In general, love the concept and execution, but seems like it might have a pretty narrow audience of chess enthusiasts.

Based on this article, there are other trade agreements which limit use of these vaccines.

> This intersects with Craig’s main point — if we started vaccinating chickens, it would kill our poultry exports:

The USDA enters into trade agreements with each individual country it trades with, explained Upali Galketi Aratchilage, a senior economist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Each agreement outlines specific biosafety and production requirements that both countries agree to follow. The USDA said, in an email to Vox, that many of those agreements do not allow bird flu vaccination.

I mean, I think it has become more _visible_. A few years back, you’d only really know about it if you were Very Online. It is now utterly impossible to ignore.
This answer seems plausible, but I also see no control for people who eat eggs through their entire life being more likely to die prematurely or those taking measures like not eating eggs being deeply unhealthy.
Has it ever been made easy to use on mobile? That’s the big thing that’s always given me pause on investing heavily in using it. Especially since it uses weird syntax in places and isn’t “just a browser”.
But you also have MTG who literally believes “they” control the weather so I’m not sure exactly why you single democrats out here or even the it to any kind of ideology specific consequence.
Note that the "safe" version makes very bespoke choices: it prehashes only overlong password, and does so with hmac-sha512 (which it b64-encodes). So it would very much be incompatible with other bcrypt implementations when outside of the "correct space".

These choices are documented in the function's docstring, but not obvious, nor do they seem encoded in a custom version.
I guess because they didn't anticipate this flaw.
> the container was spraying files all over the disk

Right, that's basically the point...the Warrior downloads files, compresses them, and uploads them for archival. This necessarily requires staging the files somewhere between download and upload.

> Anyone know any broad-spectrum docker incantations to force all overlay writes to RAM, for a container?

Why would you want this? This sounds like a terrible footgun.
Maybe they see it as a way to acquire new customers. They are in the very unusual position of being able to undercut their bigger competitors on price while still making a profit.

Right now, buyers are probably shopping around a ton. You can probably get customers who normally wouldn't be interested. After they try it, some of them may decide they like it and could become long term customers.
> I've never truly felt financially secure my entire life and even on a good tech salary I still dont cause I'm one layoff in a bad market away from being in a pretty dire situation, with a family to support too.

That's a very good point: You really do need a lot of money in the US to feel reasonably secure for the long term. This might be good for employers, entrepreneurs, investors etc., but since most people in society aren't that, I'd argue that the average quality of life is worse for it.

> If the goal is financial security to the extent that you could not work

This actually seems like an anti-goal to me, societally. Why would we want to disincentivize the people that arguably have the best track record of contributing to progress from continuing to do so?
That’s why your comments should be on things you know to be factual like WHY you made a certain decision. Things like that cannot always be communicated by good variables and functions.

Julia adds some pretty amazing stuff with multiple dispatch and run-time compilation. What this means is that you can glue code together in ways impossible for other languages.

One example is a system that I built using three libraries. One was a C library from Postgres for geolocation, another was Uber's H3 library (also C) and a third was a Julia native library for geodesy. From Julia, I was able to extend the API of the H3 library and the Postgres library so that all three libraries would inter-operate transparently. This extension could be done without any mods to the packages I was important.

Slightly similar, if you have a magic whizbang way of looking at your data as a strange form of matrix, you can simply implement a few optimized primitive matrix operations and the standard linear algebra libraries will now use your data structure. Normal languages can't really do that.

More on that second case and the implications in the following video:
