The way they do it in Germany is very sensible. There are clear requirements: have a degree and a salary offer above a certain threshold, and if you fulfill them you are in. No lottery nonsense or employer involvement required beyond signing an offer. The salary threshold is lower for graduates from German universities.
Don't do this too much.

Your eyes have to focus. For things close enough they can tell from the required small angle of cross-eyed movement, how to focus.

These pictures (and stereograms) disconnect the focus and angle of your eyes.
Do it enough and you loose the ability to focus quickly. I found it out playing with steregrams on a 286 pc a long long time ago.

YMMV but I lost the ability to quickly re-focus object that you dont already know the size of; and it's a bitch.
Running locally, your data is not sent outside of your security perimeter off to a remote data center.

Ran into this annoyance recently setting up new accounting software, that the access my bank provides is last 6 months only, so I still had to go and export a csv, rejigger the column names and date format, to reimport the first 8 months of 2024.

My thought for working around tracking new transactions without a third party is to just set up email alerts so I get a notification on every charge, deposit etc and set up some cron job to read new emails and update my books.

What I think is, people who pirate things rarely buy if they can't pirate (or they just borrow). I could definitely be wrong but there should be mathematically significant tests to justify the lawyer fee. I'm not trying to justify the pirates, I'm trying to justify the lawyer fee.

Like, you should be 95% confident to say, if people can't pirate the game, we expect the sales to go up X%. And you should also be 95% confident to say, if you pay us Y amount as lawyer fee, I'll make sure that pirate goes down by Z%.

Interestingly, Apple apparently confirmed to a French website that M4 lacks the interconnect required to make an "Ultra" [0][1], so contrary to what I originally thought, they maybe won't make this after all? I'll take this report with a grain of salt, but apparently it's coming directly from Apple.

Makes it even more puzzling what they are doing with the M2 Mac Pro.

Should managers exist?

We got along better before all these managers arrived, could ship huge projects with 100 people and one ceo. And the ceo wrote code and didn't do any of the nonsense most managers fill their days with.
I might actually use "Downloads and background play" (for which you need the higher $$$ tier) if the YouTube app gave "Skip back 15 seconds" controls on the phone lock screen. Insane to use YouTube as a "podcast" player when the only control you have is skipping to the previous/next video.
Agree!

Most orgs should just be shipping features. Before starting an Experiment Program teams should be brainstorming a portfolio of experiments. Just create a spreadsheet where the first column is a one-line hypothesis of the experiment. Eg. "Removing step X from the funnel will increase metric Y while reducing metric Z". And the RICE (Reach-Impact-Confidence-Estimation) score your portfolio.

If the team can't come up with a portfolio of 10s to 100s of experiments then the team should just be shipping stuff.

And then Experiment Buildout should be standardized. Have standardized XRD (Experiment Requirements Doc). Standardize Eligibility and Enrollment criteria. Which population sees this experiment? When do they see it? How do you test that bucketing is happening correctly? What events do analysts need? When do we do readouts?

That's just off the top of my head. Most orgs should just be shipping features.
The Tacit Manifesto
I also have a 4-year old XPS15. The SSDs and RAM are super easy to upgrade. There are two internal SSD slots (one shipped empty). Dell charges not-quite Apple-scale arms and a legs for RAM/SSD upgrades, so I bought mine Dell-minimal and immediately upgraded them both and have bumped them up as prices come down for new parts. The upgradability was a major reason I went for the XPS15 instead of the XPS13 (my previous machine)
I suspect Python isn't the limiting factor here - it's the file format. You can end up with huge interconnected text files that have to be fully parsed on every change.

If you have 1e5 - 1e6 of lines of transactions, I think a SQLite database would be a huge step forward. If you have much more than that, you probably need an ERP system.

Of course the text files make it ~easy to enter transactions, but maybe there's an elegant way to use those for ingestion only; that does make the system much more complicated to use. That might not be a problem for the kind of person using plain-text accounting over the course of years though.
Yes you can still use modified versions that allow using your own personal api keys. The reddit api has not changed and a personal api key is free and has something like 1000 hits a day which is plenty even for a heavy user.

Pantum is a brand of Ninestar, a group of companies that pretty much make every major component across the entire value chain of laser printers.

They bought Lexmark in 2016 (which is why some Pantum printers look like Lexmark printers).

The company has origins in manufacturing third-party replacement ICs for building compatible consumables and as such has extensive experience reverse engineering many printer designs.
Many compatible printing consumables outlets carry Pantum brand printers, as they are essentially buying them through the same channels they buy their compatible consumables.

Pantum has a program for identifying genuine Pantum consumables as well, as any respectable printer manufacturer would ;-)
It's a fun little sticker with some tricks up its sleeve: https://global.pantum.com/support/identification/

Nvidia has had the Grace Hoppers for a while now. Is this not like that?
Yes, human visual perception exists along a spectrum of temporal, spatial, and chromatic resolution that varies from person to person — I’ve even met some people who can’t perceive the difference between 30hz and 120hz, while to me and most people I know, the difference between 60hz and 120hz is enormous.

So you could make the same argument against high DPI displays, superior peak screen brightness, enormously better contrast ratio, color gamut, etc. Also speaker quality, keyboard quality, trackpad quality, etc.

Where does this argument end? Do you propose we regress to 60hz 1080p displays with brightness, contrast, and viewing angles that are abysmal by modern standards? Or is the claim that the MacBook Air’s current screen is the perfect “sweet spot” beyond which >99% of people can’t tell the difference?

I think the market data alone disproves this pretty conclusively. Clearly a significant enough percentage of the population cares enough about image quality to vote with their wallets so much so that enormous hardware industries continue to invest billions towards make any incremental progress in advancing the technology here.

To be fair, I think there’s strong data to support that modern “retina”-grade DPI is good enough for >99% of people. And you can argue that XDR/HDR is not applicable/useful for coding or other tasks outside of photo/video viewing/editing (though for the latter it is enormously noticeable and not even remotely approaching human visual limits yet). But there’s plenty of people who find refresh rate differences extremely noticeable (usually up to at least 120hz), and I think almost anyone can easily notice moderate differences in contrast ratio and max brightness in a brightly lit room.
Yeah. Honestly, I don't think I watched a music video in like 15+ years so this is a welcome change for me.

The goal of DeepBlue was to beat the human with a machine, nothing more.

While the conquest of deeper understanding is used for a lot of research, most AI (read modern DL) research is not about understanding human intelligence, but automatic things we could not do before. (Understanding human intelligence is nowadays a different field)

> We should correlate the "dying" to other times in the last millions/billions of years where the temperature rose tis "quickly".

We certainly would if we found evidence of any similar events in the past. Do you have contradictory info?

> As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.

> Models predict that Earth will warm between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius in the next century. When global warming has happened at various times in the past two million years, it has taken the planet about 5,000 years to warm 5 degrees. The predicted rate of warming for the next century is at least 20 times faster. This rate of change is extremely unusual.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/GlobalWarming/pag...

> The findings also reveal that the Earth's current global temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit is cooler than Earth has been over much of the Phanerozoic. But greenhouse gas emissions from human-caused climate change are currently warming the planet at a much faster rate than even the fastest warming events of the Phanerozoic, the researchers say. That speed of warming puts species and ecosystems around the world at risk and is causing a rapid rise in sea level. Some other episodes of rapid climate change during the Phanerozoic have sparked mass extinctions.

If you want to take issue with Technocracy, fine. Call out the entire liberal order and Karp's marxism in the same breath. Pretending it is just Thiel is so willfully ignorant. It is so nauseating how much people need to project and play favorites as if Thiel isn't chatting right now with people you adore as your champions. I'm not saying this in appreciation of Peter (as we call him in my circle of people you love) only to call out the pointless and meaningless divisiveness of this line of thinking. We can't both have nearly unlimited knowledge working tools and this kind of nonsense favoritism and boogeymen unless you actively choose to be ignorant. Be the change you want to see.

Keras is built with a Functional API at its core. How it works is that it infer the whole pipeline specification (the tensor shapes) and construct a DAG (directed acyclic graph) of trainable layers only by knowing the inputs and outputs, in our case the tensor are replaced with a JsonDataModel with a JSON schema for specification. In this version, each layer (called Module) is a trainable element that can be optimized using In-Context Reinforcement Learning (and other RL algorithms in the near future). Because there is no gradient descent but only a RL-like back-propagation we can have inactive branches and build logical flows, with python operators like `|` (or) and `&` (and), on top on them. Which make easier to build any workflow or Agent with it. Synalinks also optimize with asyncio each module call thanks to the DAG. We use constrained structured output by default, and combined with in-context RL we can ensure a correct syntax, and content at the same time. In addition to that, the application is serializable in JSON and the best performing program (with associated prompts) is automatically saved and can be versioned with git. You can try it online, you will find more explanation and diagrams: https://huggingface.co/spaces/YoanSallami/synalinks-notebooo...

Price difference between regions are unbelievable. Kudos to Google for trying to make their premium plans obtainable for people in low income regions.

Those netbooks were hot garbage when they came out. I remember trying a bunch of them, and they were all slow and shitty even when they came out.

I automated the flow of transaction -> text message -> MacOS -> Beancount once, but it never added up.

- some transactions go through without a text

- some transactions generate two identical texts

- for Forex transactions, the amount in the text and the amount on your statement will not match

- some texts are ambiguous in that they could have been generated by two different kinds of transaction; especially true of deposits & credit card payments

In the end I gave up, accepted that accounting will never be smooth & simple, and now just generate a CSV every month by hand.

YouTube ensures that this option remains as annoying as possible though, requiring constant (~weekly) updates to the NewPipe app - I assume they keep introducing tiny incompatible changes to the way video downloads work just so that NewPipe will have to keep adapting and pushing out new updates.

It's impressive the amount of work the NewPipe folks put in, both to keep up with this and to make the app more feature complete over time.
