> What you’re essentially saying is “cherish the people who care up to the level I personally and subjectively think is right

No. The two aspects (let's call them the craft and the minutiae) are orthogonal, they're not different level of caring about the same thing. I've seen people obsessed over minutiae and writing buggy, careless and unmaintainable code.

As with other formal aspects (e.g., testing) the quality of the code and the level of adherence to convention or forms are independent of each other; but they do both consume the same limited resource, which is the time and attention of developers.
This could not have dropped at a better time for me! Thanks for putting this together! I was not looking forward to trying to figure out a TURN server, so I'm pretty excited to give this a try.
My local grocery store only has 1 brand, so I use that one. I don't know the brand, but apparently others say it's "Just Egg". I have no idea. I don't pay attention. If I ever got another option, I'd try that one too and then perhaps care :)

I agree if the pricing wasn't basically the same I wouldn't have even attempted the switch.

I just happened to notice the cost of eggs going up again and saw fake eggs at the same price and thought, well I'll try those, why not!

> After trial and error with different models

As a mere occasional customer I've been scanning 4 to 5 pages of the same document layout every week in gemini for half a year, and every single week the results were slightly different.

To note the docs are bilingual so it could affect the results, but what stroke me is the lack of consistency, and even with the same model, running it two or three times in a row gives different results.

That's fine for my usage, but that sounds like a nightmare if everytime Google tweaks their model, companies have to reajust their whole process to deal with the discrepancies.

And sticking with the same model for multiple years also sound like a captive situation where you'd have to pay premium for Google to keep it available for your use.
Most of the US Government spending is on things that are fairly fixed and fairly known. There isn't a lot of elastic spending like this, or at least not in a way that really turns a dial.
That's not very specific. Can you list some events/actions/behaviors/etc that you see as analogous to what's going on today?
> less qualified

Who gets to decide what "qualified" means? and what counts and what doesn't count as a qualification?
> you get to form your own opinions about things

Yeah! That's one of the cool things I first noticed when I stopped consuming as much news: I started to form my own unique and nuanced opinions.

It's actually pretty surprising when you learn about how many of your opinions were just absorbed through culture and media and not really 'your own'.
The best run and most successful socialist country ever was East Germany.

Even by global standards (compared against all countries) it did fairly well. By socialist standards it did really well. By German standards, it did so much worse than Austria, Switzerland or West Germany.

I don't think you want that for Canada. And that's pretty much a best case outcome.
So you see nothing wrong with the Government paying the media that is supposed to be independent?

For what it's the worth the NGOs supported by American institutions like USAID have been raising hell accompanied by cries of "democracy is dying" when our Government here in Romania had done a similar thing, i.e. paying Government money to the local media (supposedly in order to advertise Government initiatives in said media).

So you can see how hypocritical this all seems to us, Eastern-Europeans, us who had been called naughty and worse for doing the same thing that organizations like USAID had been doing on their home-turf ($8 million, $24k, it doesn't really matter, the intention was there, we've had a former political leader thrown in jail for corruption/political influence that involved no money, so $0). Samantha Power and those that stood behind here deserve prison-time, the same prison-time that the NGOs that her organization supported had called for the corrupt leaders here in Romania.

LAter edit: Now that I've gone through that Axios article more at length, come on, they can't be serious with stuff like this:

> A fake theory about Politico being funded by the government is catching fire in right-wing circles

They call this "fake"? They call the Government actually giving money to Politico as "fake"? Pardon my French, by what the hell? What did they expect? For the Government to have written on said money: "this is corruption money"? Of course that the Government "bought" something from Politico, that's how it's done, that's how our corrupt government here in Romania is also doing it when it needs the media on its side. Again, the US "liberals" should smarten up, that's why they've lost last year's elections, because they though the rest of the populace as still being stupid, stupid enough to believe that the Government giving money to Politico is "fake".

To say nothing of the "right-wing" innuendo, for what it's worth I'm pretty left-wing, the "I want communist nationalizations" left-wing.
You don't seem to understand the difference between equity and equality (of opportunity).

Equity is actively discriminating, based on measures like race or sex to try to force an ideological outcome.

Equality (of opportunity) is treating people the same irrespective of race, sex, etc...

Equity is clearly racist, sexist, bigotry. Progressives seems to think this is okay, unlike previous examples from history, as their preferred race isn't white and their preferred sex isn't male.

Equality (of opportunity) is the opposite - it isn't racist, sexist bigotry.

That you must design the system before you type it down as code. Once you make the wrong assumptions or wrong abstractions no amount or skillful coding can save you. You risk solving the wrong problem perfectly.
Political actors are already acting like there is no rule of law. Denying birth right citizenship, promising benefits to people that wasn’t funded, declaring the TikTok ban that was passed by overwhelming bipartisan majority and upheld by a conservative Supreme Court wasn’t relevant, giving Musk so much power, etc.

We are way past the point of rule of law.

While the population as a whole may not be in favor of it, because of how the way the electoral college works, even knowing what they know now, he would win. Not to mention how the Senate is setup - each state has two senators regardless of size - and gerrymandering.

Hell at this point, I hope they reinstate the full state tax deduction, let states tax more, defund the federal government and let the red states rot in poverty and the Blue wealthier states work together
No, why would I? I'd be much more adverse to working for a company that engaged in disparate impact, but in general I believe that disparate impact should not be tolerated.
All I'm asking for is evidence of the problem you're saying exists.
I’m not in a minority group, but I don’t feel like I’ve ever really been hired based on my merits. I’ve been primarily hired based on the RNG of getting past application processes, and hiring managers liking things about me that aren’t particularly related to my merits.
The packet loss indicator is the biggest issue I have. I’m well aware that routers may deprioritise ICMP and lead to packet loss, and therefore if you’re not seeing cascading packet loss then it’s probably phantom. Also what really matters is end to end loss anyways.

The other issue with packet loss is the tool doesn’t handle ICMP properly in the first place. A ping flood to an end to end host like 1.1.1.1 shows 0% loss, but when I use mtr to do flood like pinging it shows my wifi router with 100% loss. If I ping flood my router I get 0%.

It’s genuinely a bad tool and you should really just be keeping ping and traceroute separate as they do completely different things.

What most people do seem not to grasp here is that MAGA is full steam working to make sure it doesn't matter who you are going to vote. Trump is just the smoke screen.

IF, by a rare circumstance, the media moguls decide to not sane-wash the incredible fire-hose of lies, corruption, fake news, and religious extremism, and the DEMs get into office in some next term, those DEMs will find the state destroyed beyond repair.

Health epidemics, broken foreign relation relations, dysfunctional government agencies (filled to the brim with stupid or evil clients from the shadow elites), downright abolished agencies, information sphere completely muddied in Musk-style, tech oligarchs sworn allegiance to MAGA (done), abolishment of fact checkers (in progress), removal of experts and intelligentsia (busy), impoverished voters (in progress).

You can enter the cockpit, but MAGA makes sure you are never going to fly again. If you want to get somewhere, you will need the fixers.

People here are discussing legalities with a situational awareness of 3 millimeter maximum. This feverish is understandable, we MUST interpret things like they are normal. If you want to keep it that way, don't read the next sentence.

As soon as the news broke of Trumps reelection, all cases where dropped quickly. That is all you need to now.

> [...] there's not many chinese people outside china and most of them left china in the last 100 years in search of better lives.

Wikipedia says:

> Overseas Chinese people are people of Chinese origin who reside outside Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan).[20] As of 2011, there were over 40.3 million overseas Chinese.[8]

40.3 million is quite a few. And they form significant minorities in many South East Asian countries.

But you are right that eg Germany or South Sudon don't really have enough Chinese people to really say much about them there.

> Zizek

The nuances Yes, but the overall concept of overdetermination came from Marx/Engels, along with the observation of how its practiced, and others.

> You are reading marxism through the distorting eye of a middleman. ...

There are many who are dyed-in-the-wool Marxists who would disagree with this quite strongly. The philosophy is based solely in the mind and world-view whereas the Marxist ideology is based in practice and causality.

> To say that marxism has a static view on anything IS to say that diamat has a static view on anything, because diamat is the "algorithm" of marxism.

Except this is circular, and neglects that its only one part of the algorithm of marxism, and not the whole part. The two are not the same thing. There are elements in Marxism that do not exist in diamat. Identity politics for example.

> It is a different thing to say that "chances are you will remain a proletariat", than to say "its impossible to change class, therefor you will remain a proletariat".

Yes it is different, but not in the way you seem to think. The first is a likelihood that seems to follow aristotle's logic, but doesn't apply under Marxism.

Under such a system no truth can be determined in statements based in likelihoods and indirections, let alone consistently, and there must be a consistent truth based in causality. Althusser touches on this in his works.

The latter statement is an absolute, with contradictions that cannot form causally, so could be called false, dependent, and based on the class identity of the person saying so or being addressed. It all comes down to class.

It's remarkable how much effort some people put into portraying this as a 'highly complex' legal issue. In reality, laws like this one typically include standard boilerplate provisions precisely to prevent situations like the current one, regardless of the administration. A simple Google search is actually enough to establish what one _should do_ here according to the law.

Claiming that this is complex isn't just a matter of disagreement; it's a deliberate distortion of language and intent. This approach dismisses a clear legal bright line in favor of framing the issue through power dynamics and a 'what can I get away with' mindset. Without independent or ethical agents of enforcement or a process that's interested in keeping up, what we can get away with ends up being a lot and will likely be substantially impactful.
By "hiring traditionally" they may have meant "posting a job description and application instructions". They definitely didn't continue to interact with the CTI schools.

What they didn't appear to do, at least it is not discussed, is targeted advertising towards underrepresented groups.

One thing I first started noticing in the 2000s on sites like kuro5hin were young conservatives.

Like I mean 20 year old's using conservative talking points, mostly in an absolutist aggressive sort of way. Many I guess were coming at it from Rand's 'philosophical' writings. (Basically an overly intellectual cover for being an asshole).

I remember asking them on that site with a post: "Why are you young guys conservative?" I mean they weren't religious, or at least none of them cited this as a motivation, they weren't rich so they had nothing to 'conserve'. I remember being like WTF?

Looking back on it now I think most of them were in it for the trolling. Conservative thought often skews insensitive and absolutist, so I guess these dudes were using it as a basis to troll more sensitive posters.

Now 25years later and we are living the consequences of a 4chan presidency.
I believe it is more subtle, it is the effect of intolerance, in general, on the education system, which appears most often from religious perspectives. This is multiplied by a generalized impressment of obedience to adults and authority in school aged children. Children are taught that certain thoughts and lines of reasoning are sinful to the degree they face damnation, which to many imaginative young minds equates to a terror brainwashing where they become afraid to think, crippling their critical analysis before it can develop. They are rendered old children with childlike understandings of life's unanswerable questions, which they get answered by their faith. They never develop working secondary considerations, and are gullible because of it. Such people are perfectly capable of becoming research scientists, doctors, even attorneys, because we have an incredible compartmentalism capability. As you point out they are incapable in interpreting media, and why would they? It's not their specialization. They can apply critical analysis and secondary considerations within their career, because it was hammered into them in that compartmentalization, but it is not innate to them, they are not natural critical thinkers. So politics using indirect language and wolf whistling Nazi signals is just right over their heads, they will argue with you how their candidate never says racist anything.
That's just part of the game. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, but there's never a decisive winner.
The FAA worked with a race advocacy group to create a screening test blatantly calculated to give preferences to that race. That’s not an isolated incident. Harvard was smacked down by the Supreme Court for racially discriminating in admissions. Biden was smack down by courts for racially discriminating in small business loans. A court just smacked down NASDAQ for diversity quotas on corporate board. Maybe we can acknowledge that there is a real problem that people were responding to.
Looking broader at South East Asia, the Chinese minorities in countries around the region are know for working hard and being successful, often more so than other locals.
What do you think the point of such a questionnaire was?

Why would you want to filter for applicants who report that their worst high school subject was science and their lowest college grades were in history?
> It's unfortunate people expect you to have social media like a girl asks me if I have Instagram and I'm weird to not have one, I get it they can scope you out too for safety but when I tried using that stuff I felt this pressure to post about something

It's not about scoping you out. Asking for your Instagram is like what asking for your number was in the past. It's flirting, it's that they want to get in touch again, set up a date.

If you say "I don't have Instagram", the girl will assume that you don't like her, not that you don't have Instagram.

So just make an empty Instagram (with a normal profile photo) for connecting with people. And say so when sharing it with a girl. If it's somebody who wants to "scope you out", you're already dealing with a person who you don't want to deal with.
Can I make the significance my choice?

To me a news site curates news that impacts me directly or things I can do something about. This could be in a scale too. 10 is water main is broken on my street, while 0 is a car crash on the other side of the planet.
> even if I can only read 5 minutes before bed, I do it anyway

I would worry about operant conditioning myself to associate reading with sleep.

One friend put on movies to help them go to sleep. Later she struggled to watch movies without falling asleep.

I overthink this concept, so I'm overly cautious about what activities I mix together because I fear the risk of training strange subconscious responses in myself.
We had to roll our own from research papers unfortunately.

The number one take away we got was to use much larger images than anything that anyone else ever mentioned to get good results. A rule of thumb was that if you print the png of the image it should be easily readable from 2m away.

The actual model is proprietary and stuck in corporate land forever.

Semi-anonymous community is still community. HN isn't unique there.

it's similar to how you can go to a bar and just say "I'm here to watch the game". You can be asosial in a social community.
Seems like you could solve hallucinations by repeating the task multiple times. Non-hallucinations will be the same. Hallucinations will be different. Discard and retry hallucinated sections. This increases cost by a fixed multiple, but if cost of tokens continues to fall that's probably perfectly fine.
The question is how much administration does the education system really need? Many of the admin tasks are local in nature so I’m doubtful that moving it across the country will get good results.
Oh, there is certainly a market. That is why you keep them employed as whitehats, or at least in service of state security.
They skip rendering but maybe don't skip layout and style computation?
You can do worse than RT if you watch it knowing you're seeing a curated narrative (which is no different from any paper, really, ours just happen to shill for our own state department). RT is a really good source for eg central asian news, most of which never even gets a mention in western papers.

People really need to stop throwing around "russian agent" if they want the phrase to stay scary. IMC does not need to be tied to Putin to criticize him; he's a moron who's weirdly obsessed with american conservative ragebaiting despite not having anything to do with this country. Like I can't emphasize enough how clearly stupid the man is. (Though it is also very unsurprising that he allegedly supports Putin.)

Other examples: Financial Times is a Japanese paper, so it's not the most reliable at eg reporting on China and Korea. They have surprisingly quality coverage outside of east asia, though, and from my eye they have a lot more matter-of-fact tone to american political coverage than most american papers do. Al Jazeera is not reliable for reporting on Qatar, but they're indispensable for a lot of reporting the west will refuse to engage in around the MENA world (and to a very limited extent, subsaharan africa). Etc etc.

RT has its place; it's no Epoch Times. They have some mildly interesting americans working for them who seem very willing to openly criticize Putin. The russian language version is much more blatantly propaganda.

Edit: well it seems that RT also spreads qanon stuff; I emphatically don't endorse that kind of content, nor did I realize it was there. I stand by the fact that it's a useful tool.
Probably. Everything is terrible.

There are law journal articles debating whether the Impoundment Control Act is constitutional. And that isn’t a new thing, here’s one from 1990: https://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?handle=hein.journals/...

There’s a big difference between a law for which there have been longstanding serious scholarly objections to its constitutionality, and a law whose constitutionality has never been questioned in any serious forum
