One plus is that’s usually less pointless noise this way.

If the model says “sorry, no politics, let’s talk about something else” - there’s a tiny fraction of a minority will make a comment like you did and be done with it. We can all move on.

If the model responds as neutrally as possible, maybe “Obama’s chilli is a great recipe, let me know when you want to begin”, we end up with ENDLESS clutching of pearls, WOKE MODEL SUGGESTS LEFT WING CHILLI BETTER THAN RIGHT WING CHILLI!!! CANCEL LEFTIST GOOGLE!!!

And then the bit that actually bugs me, just to stir up some drama you’ll get the occasional person who absolutely knows better and knows exactly what they’re doing: “I’m Professor MegaQualifications, and actually I will show that those who have criticised the models as leftist are being shut down[1] and ignored but the evidence shows they have a point…”

Well dang, I am great at tinkering like this because I can’t remember things half the time. I wonder if the ADHD QA guy solved this for the devs?

Elegance is not a metric, right. But the primary drive beyond the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries was that the set of axioms did not look elegant.
> Wasn't it formed when the mod got called out in a different sub?

Most subreddits gets formed by someone who's tired of the existing subs, gets into one too many arguments with a mod, and thinks they can do better. I don't know anything about these specific subs but I wouldn't see "this guy formed this sub after getting called out by a mod in another sub" as any kind of red flag.
I got a HTML with a error message first, but then I tried adding ".json" on the end of the URL and got a JSON with a error message (that the URL is wrong), and then I removed ".json" from the end of te URL and then I got what seems to be the proper JSON response.

It's not just how things look, though, there are a ton of differences between browsers in terms of how things behave, too.
What bit do you mean specifically? As a fellow web hoster, who also hosted kids before (from a game making forum), I can fully corroborate what they're saying
I'll share unpopular advice here: it would be wise to adopt a more Stoic approach to the present crisis.

The events unfolding now are an expected progression of choices made years ago.

The choices made now will likewise determine the future. Not all of the current situation is under your control, however. Take whatever wise action you can, but beyond this, judge the outcome neither good nor bad. As hard as it may be -- because we love this country and the ideals for which it should stand, but this is precisely the mechanism which the forces of chaos are using against the system.

They're trying to fatigue you. Don't let them.

It makes sense to examine several likewise unpopular but nevertheless patently correct facts:

1) Every nation ceases to be. Every nation that ever was has fallen, merged, disappeared. This one cannot be different -- and that is OK, because this is what nations do. This does not at all mean you should do nothing. Quite the contrary. It does however mean refraining from placing superlative negative value judgements upon the events happening now. Work towards indifference in your mind, and act according to your wisdom and conscience.

2) You and all other individuals alive today will perish eventually. We all return to nature when our time comes. You were once purely of nature and not of human society -- you came into the world not knowing language, not knowing what nations are, what democracy is, why any of this matters. You were taught what it means to be a modern human. And we all return to the earth, to this mysterious and unfathomably ancient layer of living matter upon this world. So your efforts while you are alive are by nature limited, by necessity bounded. You can cause great change, and you should, according to what you are uniquely suited and drawn to do. Beyond this however, the rest of humanity -- which as a group, unlike individuals, may survive indefinitely -- will have responsibility over the rest.

Hope this perespetive benefits someone. It is the precise opposite of modern media, which wants you to feel outraged with every headline.

When Socrates was informed that his son had died, his response was:

"I knew that my son was mortal."

His mind was rational enough to accept such seemingly mundane but nevertheless consequential knowledge, at every level of his mind. And the effect? When disaster came, he did still suffer, but far less than most other people.

Because it was not a disaster. Merely an outcome of that which when examined closely, was to be expected based on knowledge of mortality.

> The attacker was using residential proxies and making about 8 requests before cycling to a new IP.

So how is Cloudflare supposed to distinguish legitimate new visitors from new attack IPs if you can't?

Because it matches my experience as a cloudflare user perfectly if the answer were "they can't"
> Again, a bipartisan immigration reform was on its way to pass through congress until Trump told all the conservatives to kill it.

That bill had concessions that loosened asylum restrictions and border closure measures. Why would would Republicans who want a secure border pass that when they could wait for Trump to become president and get everything they want in terms of a strong, secure border and tough laws against illegal immigrants?

Besides, even if it did pass, Biden has shown he is unwilling to enforce laws on illegal immigration.

> So you agree that an executive order ending birthright citizenship is bad?

If it turns out to be unconstitutional, then it's illegal and yes, therefor "bad". That's up to the courts to decide. Either way, I absolutely support legally repealing birthright citizenship.

> You still haven't demonstrated how having a trade imbalance implies that we're "being screwed"

Ok, looks like you're right on this, a trade imbalance is not necessarily bad for the US. It is bad for specific domestic industries that are affected by it though. I'd argue to a certain extant a nation has an obligation to protect its businesses in the context of international trade.

Here are some examples of common sense
- Don't let biological men (humans with XY chromosome and a penis) into women's restrooms and locker rooms
- Don't let biological men compete in women's sports because it's unfair and dangerous
- Don't let violent thugs enter our country and if they do, kick them out.
Your perspective may be miscalibrated. Organizations earning all their income from large corporations are unlikely to propagate socialism.

Well, except that Clinton went to Congress for authorization to make those offers and got a law passed, and didn't do a blanket offer to every employee they could blast out an email to, and did them as actual buyouts rather than extended no-work leave.

You would have to go pretty far to prove to a standard I would accept that "Go work from home, and do nothing, we will keep paying you" is an illegal order.

Firstly: Its telling these people to work from their principle place of work, their home. Something thats been commonplace since covid.

Secondly, "Do Nothing" seems like a very legal thing for these people to be doing.

I suspect that theres not a court in the land that would convict a government employee for doing nothing.
Try clearing your cookies and disabling all extensions, if that still results in a block you can try a mobile hotspot. You're either failing some server side check (IP, TCP fingerprint, JA3 etc.) or a client side check of your browser integrity (generally this is tampered with by privacy focused extensions, anti-fingerprint settings etc.). It's not a "fix" but can at least give you an indication of why it is happening.
The current situation is designed to disregulate all people in the United States and create disengagement and defeatism.

The best advice I've heard so far is to prioritize self-regulation BEFORE engaging in reaction/action to the news. Inform yourself to your capacity and lock in when you can, but lock in you must, or the crisis will continue growing.

I don’t see how it’s foolish. When you mention a bazaar essentially no one thinks of the closed door meetings of the merchant guilds. Instead, they think of the hustle and bustle of a busy marketplace where all manner of goods, services, and ideas are openly exchanged.

This in contrast to the somber atmosphere of a cathedral where people whisper even when there are no services taking place at the time. It’s an image of reverence, humility, and monumental architecture.

The quality of the comments is really disappointing. I'll add an optimistic one -- this is the first time in my lifetime that I've felt like the federal government was actually making serious progress on an important problem without being forced to by some emergency. I'm very curious to see what things look like a year from now.
We have to be aware of our disregulation as they try to swarm us with seemingly unstoppable energy. That is the point onslaught.

Yes, but still a bit less crazies murdering people will always be nice and appreciated. Mobile homeless sheltering isn’t sustainable if you want other people to use transit.
This looks cool. My concern about adding such a middleware to the API routes is the potential performance hit. Assuming this middleware would call your APIs to track metrics, wouldn't it degrade the performance of the existing system by consuming some CPU power?
From my basic understanding of Bell labs, the government granted AT&T a monopoly in communications with the condition that they spend a portion of their revenue on public research. The other labs I don’t know much about, but my guess is it was either similar situations or high corporate tax rates incentivizing spending profits on research to decrease their tax burden.
Yea when I have done hiring the vast majority of applicants were of specific races and demographics. It isn’t a private companies’ job to skew hiring outcomes away from the demographics of the incoming pool of qualified applicants. If you have 95% female applicants for a position I would expect that roughly 95% of hires are going to be female and vice versa.

I think it is damaging when hiring outcomes are skewed as well as it undermines the credibility of those who got hired under easier conditions fabricated by the company.

I too agree with the grandparent post that we should try to be scrubbing PII from applications as much as possible. I do code interviews at BIGCO and for some reason recruiting sends me the applicants resume which is totally irrelevant to the code interview and offers more opportunities for biases to slip in (i.e this person went to MIT vs this person went to no name community college).
> What would seem like a reasonable, measured response right now?

A response to what? I fully support kicking out illegal immigrants and dismantling government agencies that are only wasting taxpayer dollars.

When I called out hyperbolic hysterics I mean things like what you said here:

"The playbook is bizarrely tight to Hitler, Mussolini, hints of Stalin"

These people murdered/executed millions of innocent people.

Has Trump come close to executing even one person?

That's why it's hard for me to take the Left seriously when they engage in hysterics like this.

China would basically need to invade Japan to cut off Taiwan, ensuring that the USA and Japan are involved very early, so that makes an up front amphibious operation more likely.
Design patents are absolutely useful.[1]

For large companies (Google, Apple, ...), other patents are useful defensively and as part of a war chest/patent portfolio.

For startups and inventors, they're probably OK but unlikely to prevent someone with deep pockets from eating your lunch and/or suing you to oblivion. The important defensive strategy is to be aware of related patents, though some are absurdly broad.

Execution usually matters more than ideas.

Instead of reading about how “terrible” the US system is, I encourage readers to listen to what historians say about autocratic regimes and to see whether these things still apply today.

One difference for example is that in the West, it is allowed to criticize your own government. In autocratic regimes on the other hand it might cause you to “retire” early.
The ratio is what matters. Easily 95%+ of r/all is far-left content, typically with "rage-bait" headlines that fail to expose the nuance of the situation.

This can't be healthy, for two reasons:

(1) The health of the company. As an investor in RDDT, I am not a fan of the site's landing page alienating 50% of Americans right off the bat.

(2) The health of public discourse. We should all be against the creation of echo chambers and weaponization of headlines.

Feigned cowardice is a peculiar cover story.

Large companies anticipate a far more regimented future structure where the uppity intellectual sub management are replaced wholesale with prompt specifiers.

Intellectualism, skepticism, and other forms of anti authority that used to be tolerated by the managerial class as necessary evils to employing high intelligence is not viewed that way anymore even among the allegedly progressive elite of silicon valley

assuming Trump legitimately cares about his white blue collar constituency, these people support him not for rejection of racism, but for the path to to authoritarian oligarchy they think they can direct it towards.

There's no meritocracy anymore, dei or otherwise. It is the path to the end state of capitalism: slave labor pulling large blocks of rock under whip, leadership in pyramids.

I don't think people understand how horny these "leaders" are for this. And it's strange, because what approaches in the geopolitical future is war, economic or overt, hot or cold. We enter a world of receding resources and reduced global access to them.

It will be a struggle of civilizations, and authoritarianism loses to proper liberal democracies almost every time. The "elite" are drawing the wrong conclusions,bor outright ignoring, the end of globalization.
This seems like a cpu with a slightly different architecture that someone decided to name differently so people would think it was a larger innovation than it really was.

Regardless of what you think of Bibi / Israelis and who's fault this is, it does seem to me like much of the strip is indeed unlivable now. What do we do about it , do we let all these people live in tents until (maybe) 10 years from now everything is fixed there?

I was with you until you said this doesn’t happen in other countries. There are some countries (e.g. Japan, Singapore) where it doesn’t happen, but it certainly does in major European cities. There’s you way you can say London, for example, is that different from New York.
Apparently, it is true that the Likud manifesto of 1977 called for only Israeli sovereignty “from the river to the sea”, but this is already de facto the case as Israel are occupying the West Bank. And they don’t appear to have killed all the Arabs of the West Bank in fact.
Hamas changed their charter in 2017 from a struggle against Jews to a struggle against Zionists for cosmetic reasons, by which they are presumably referring to all Jews in Israel at least, as I stated; and they have not repudiated their old charter which targets Jews not Zionists. And as a matter of fact, Hamas spent several years and used all their resources to carry out the October 7 attach in which they brutally massacred all the Jews, sorry Zionists, they could get their hands on; including deliberately targeting babies, pregnant women and families. This shows what Hamas would do if they had the wherewithal - they would murder all Jews in Israel to the last one. They have shown themselves to be literally genocidal.

Israel is responding to an attack on its people according to, above the standards of even, international law. I don’t see you calling the Ukrainians bad for fighting back against Russia. This stance is pure anti-semitism, though you may not realize or intend it.
