I don't want to discourage you, but people have "cheated" on remote technical interviews for decades. It's a staple of the industry, HBO made like 5 Silicon Valley episodes about this.
Took a minute to find things that are in the DB, but once I did this is pretty slick. If I can join the endless queue of feature requests, the ability to scale the portion size and update the nutrition facts would be great. I've been tracking my macros daily for about 18 months and for me to hit my protein and stay under my calories I do a lot of what I call speculative food tracking. Sitting on the couch, thinking about a snack, if I go into the kitchen without a plan I'm gonna eat a lot of unintentional things but if I can go "okay, I have about 300 calories to spare and I'm short 40g protein today, so I can put 5 oz chicken breast on a 60 calorie wheat pita with some hot sauce for (calorie) free flavor and I'll win today".

Also IDK where AI is wrt automated scraping but I've had some success feeding recipes into AI and getting the nutrition facts out. The ability to plop a URL in and get a scraped recipe with a name and nutrition facts would be immense.
MacBooks haven’t had mechanical trackpads in over a decade now — they’re solid glass with really good haptics to make it feel like they move, so I doubt what you’re experiencing with yours is a mechanical jam. It’s more likely that the haptic motor is malfunctioning occasionally or there’s something that’s causing the process in charge of haptics to stall.
Well at least we redeemed ourselves with NFTs huh?
Trump is very popular among low-information citizens. If you corralled more of them into voting, he would have won by more. Call me an elitist, but at this point we'd be much better off if ignorant people stopped voting.
Obviously - if you are doing things that are legal - you have no need for Crypto.

Now, I think some crypto people will argue that there are many good and ethical things you could do which are illegal that you now can do with crypto.

However, all none of those things are happening. All that is happening is speculation and unethical crime.
Without the ability to realize that it's politics that defines what a criminal is.
Any sufficiently advanced method of programming will start to look less like natural language and more like a programming language.

If you still don’t want to do programming, then you need some way to instruct or direct the intelligence that _will_ do the programming.

And any sufficiently advanced method of instruction will look less like natural language, and more like an education.
No, but we have new ones.
Moving towards a "European cloud" remains an eternal pipe dream, simply because such a thing doesn't exist, the reason being the EU actively regulating against businesses trying to innovate in this and other seminal areas.

Thomas Sowell makes a good argument that the government does a terrible job at redistributing wealth to lift the poor, based on their track record. And so taxing the rich more doesnt actually solve that problem — it just makes politicians and their friends richer.

Also when talking about tariffs reducing demand and inflating prices, I think it’s important to note that’s partly true. It doesn’t raise prices of domestic goods and actually increases demand for domestic goods.

When you say "the economy", do you mean "rich people's yachts"? ...

"Trying to address inequality makes us all poorer" - wow.

If you really believe that's true, at least say why, or bring a source (other than Ayn Rand please lol). What's the mistake you believe people are making? Because just declaring something like that is like saying, we can't address unsafe driving because it will make people drive worse. It's clinically absurd.

Here's what I think - economists don't talk about inequality because of the three reasons discussed here [0]. It's not in their models, and it's not in their class interest.

> What can we do that won't backfire?

Tax the wealthy. No it's not easy. Yes it can be done. Yes it has worked in the past.

Maybe we can make British olive oil by getting Tunisian olive oil and putting it in a British bottle? Then it's only 10%.

The whole thing is kind of nuts.
What advice are you talking about?
There was one cashier who also bagged at a local supermarket who was the mythical 10x bagger. I'm not joking when I say they were a virtuoso at scanning and bagging and I would always line up in their line just to witness it again and anyway that line moved incredibly fast. It's fascinating that even mundane activities can be executed with speed and beauty.

They've graduated college so I guess I'll never see that again.
Indications You're Doing Mocking Wrong
> Always felt like Debian was stuck between “all in” or “go without”

Debian can be configured at installation to go ''all in'' with systemd or ''go without'' if you prefer. The latter option pretty well mooted the purpose of the Devuan spinoff. In the Bullseye version it is possible to change a running system from using systemd to sysvinit or OpenRC.

I agree about seeing how Debian reacts to how InitWare develops from alpha.
> I think they shouldn't unless they're being disingenuous and politically motivated (push just enough to make the entire Trump mandate an unending crisis until Democrats get back in power).

They've been saying since the Biden administration they are going to keep raising rates. If the Trump regime's choices drive us into an unending crisis, bailing him out with rate cuts would be the politically motivated choice. Continuing to raise rates is just sticking to principles.
You may want to re-read GP's comment because they did not indicate whether they cared if the 38% went to the government or the farmer. Reading their comment as written, they simply said they would happily pay the tariff to continue enjoying Tunisian olive oil. It's "crazy" of you to imply they don't understand how a tariff works when you're the one mis-reading what they wrote.
> But we still import oil! Why? Because the oil we produce isn’t entirely the right kind for everything we do with it.

Just wanted to elaborate a bit on this. Oil is a fantastic example for "why international trade good?" Oil is weird in that it is a fungible commodity (one barrel here is the same as one barrel there), but at the same time, functionality it's not. Each oil formation has different geology and chemistry. There are light sweet crudes, sour crudes, heavy crudes, and so on [1], and refineries (which are massive capital investments with specialized work forces) are typically tooled out to only process one type or family of types of crude oil products.

One paradox of the USA crude industry is that nearly 70% of U.S. refining capacity runs most efficiently with heavier crude, but our shale crude is lighter. Thus, 90% of crude oil imports into the United States are heavier than U.S.-produced shale crude [2]. So even if we had perfect supply/demand of crude within the USA, we would not be able to run our refineries efficiently without a massive overhaul. They have been built under decades of the assumption of a high degree of free international trade.

And these companies will be loathe to invest in retooling if they believe that the tariffs will just be rolled back in four years.

That's true, but it's definitely not the case that nobody has accused Valve of being anticompetitive. They have a variety of plausibly anticompetitive practices and accusations.

It's also possible that some gamers did actually get money from Valve via arbitration, so they could've been found to have acted in an anticompetitive way, separately from the lawsuit. I've not been able to find anyone specifically saying that they did the arbitration, though.
I don't think it's helpful to reply to a specific, well-phrased question with a general analogy. Why is it like that?

It's like when the media would interview Robert de Niro on Trump, and all he would say is variants of "Well, he's an asshole!"

The original argument put forth by capitalists was that unionized workers were effectively engaging in economic sabotage by striking and blockading factories.

It's obviously mostly an aesthetic nitpick for this blog post specifically and not the project itself, because few people are going to be exploring the encoded space outside of the blog post, but the sliders letting you explore the LQIP space would "flash" a lot less if the base color was encoded in the high bits instead of the low bits.
Trump is already increasing taxes (tariff is a tax on consumption of imported goods).
A recession is inevitable if you need interest rates to go down.
That was my point, though I may not have been clear.

Most people do get better over time, but for those who don’t (or LLM’s) it’s just a question of if their current skills are a net benefit.

I do expect future AI to improve. My expectation is it’s going to be a long slow slog just like with self driving cars etc, but novel approaches regularly turn extremely difficult problems into seemingly trivial exercises.
The orange man is saying: "Looks like you are sending a lot of $$$ to those olive oil farmers in Tunisia. With my tariffs you now have two choices at your disposal: either you keep buying their Olive oil but then you are going to have to give me $$$ as well to pay for our national debt. You are going to buy less of it; and help your country in the process. Alternatively, you can decide that maybe you don't need olive oil all that much. We have this amazing product called 'corn oil' which is produced locally and is now comparatively less expensive, buy that instead and support your local farmer. Choice is yours".

Maybe you don't like either of these choices; but at the same time; saying "I believe that having cheap access to product produced halfway across the globe is a god given right to American people; how dare you imposing me to make such a choice" is part of the reason why we need 13 earth to sustain the modern US lifestyle.

I am really not a Trump supporter at all. But at the same time the gradual reduction of tariffs has been a key factor of increasing global trade; which in turn is a key component of the increase of CO2 emissions. Finding a way to dampen a bit the international component and making sure that locally sourced products and services are not affected seems not that bad.
i had a feeling someone would say "there's always been cheaters." i've been working in the industry for a long time, i'm certainly aware. but there's a difference between going out of your way to cheat when it wasn't that easy before mixed with a booming job market knowing you'd have like 15 interviews lined up, and what is happening today where the market is decimated, filled with utmost desperation, combined with tools that make it dead simple at the click of a button. it's a complete mess

I mean the accuracy with which it's locating the bounds. What is extra curious is it obviously supports rotated cubes, yet it often doesn't use them when it should, leading to overstating the bounds, as if it's over enthusiastically trying to put things aligned to some inferred axis.

This is obviously an attempt at the general case to apply cubes to anything, but what is disappointing is the performance on boxy objects is lower than I've seen on private NNs used for AR and CV for years (ironically enough on iPads), using just rgb and no depth.

I half think the exercise here was to establish if transformers were the way to go for this, and on the strength of that the answer would be probably not.

JD Vance had a nice speech about globalisation lately, he describes how globalisation made the rest of the world advanced and rich: https://x.com/OopsGuess/status/1902396228404674853

So if people were trying to make the world a better place congratulations they succeeded. JD Vance uses a bit different framing(!).

Anyway, back to your question, IMHO the problem in thinking here is that it implies that there must be "They" and "Us". You can't just get prosperous as a humanity, it needs to be a subgroup like "Americans" or "Germans" that do amazing things and they are very unsatisfied that Chinese and Indians got advanced and no longer do the shitty jobs. When they say globalism has failed us, they mean we thought that Vietnamese will keep making our shoes but now they are making cars too.

Essentially the core of the problem(or ideal) is nationalism and borders associated with it, preventing of people move around and pursue happiness.

A group of people like the generations of Americans who pioneered many technologies and sciences built a world, then other group of people(mostly their offsprings or people who caught up thanks to proximity to the ground zero) operated within that world and made some choices and transformed the world into something else. Now, they are unhappy with the current state and propose teaming up around something like religion/attitudes around genders etc. If you subscribe to the idea that people should team around these things and if you think that you won't be suffering that much and you don't care that some people might suffer a lot, then yes the current actions actually makes sense.

Why? Who is looking at the societies of countries where manufacturing is happening and saying “we want that”?

Manufacturing used to be great for the US because other places couldn’t do it, either because they hadn’t developed enough or they’d been ravaged by war. It wasn’t “manufacturing physical goods” that was great for the US, it was “having industry that others don’t”. Now, other countries have manufacturing capability. America’s uniquely exceptional industry is now tech - mostly software, but also hardware design, and design of tech for other industries. That is what we should be focused on - supporting the industries that set us apart from other countries.

Allan Deviation – The Time Nut's Statistic
A front for destabilization operations by whom? By the NSA, FBI and CIA is who. And no, none of those organizations will be held accountable for their abuses of international aid. Instead, we'll throw the baby out with the bathwater and blame the second-degree manslaughter on "state department" operations.

USAID is not a shadowy cabal, it is not an element of the deep state. It can be corrected, even isolated from harm, by reorganizing their leadership to a board instead a administrative seat. You're just not arguing in good faith, and I really have to wonder why you're falling for talking points aimed at the lowest-intelligence voting bloc.

> Americans dream about having a small farm and doing their own woodworking and blacksmithing or doing so with a small community. They don't dream about working on a factory line and being fired if they miss a day due to being sick.

They dream about being treated better than that, but this is a big cultural gap. There are a lot of Americans who do, genuinely, dream about working somewhat hard factory jobs. They feel proud and fulfilled that they work in the steel mill just like their dad and grandpa and great-grandpappy, and they want to make sure their son will have the same opportunity.
What if the workers decide the work is imposing on them? Maybe that's a good thing but it could go too far.

>For instance, globalization and offshoring of production has made goods cheaper for consumers, but what about the former domestic producers who could not compete, and do not have the skills or capital to find a new job which pays as well?

We could instead pay for re-education and training for these folks to find jobs that do align better with the global economy and bolster social safety nets to help with job loss.

Tariffs are no guarantee the jobs will come back either or even if some of the manufacturing does come back to the US, that it will employ people who need it most or in the same number. Manufacturing automation is quite sophisticated nowadays. Even if the manufacturing comes back to the US - which I don't think is going to happen en masse if at all - the employment prospects that you're suggesting in this line of reasoning won't come back with them, is what the evidence suggests.

>There really are structural challenges to onshoring production due to strength of the dollar due to its reserve currency status; our society as such is biased heavily toward importing goods rather than exporting goods. This is a real challenge that needs to be addressed as well.

Why? Why is onshoring production of non critical goods a benefit to the US as a whole over the long term? Why do we want to protect manufacturing interests at the expense of other interests? These questions haven't been addressed. Not to mention the pain tariffs are going to cause isn't being addressed either, we're simply told to 'grin and bear it', and for what are we doing that exactly? Whats the actual nuts and bolts plan here?

Everywhere I look at the argument for tariffs I come up short on legitimate answers to these questions

>Our national debt is not sustainable either. Either we pay it down some, or we inflate it away; these are the two ways it goes away, ignoring the option of a world-shattering default on the debt. Tariffs accomplish both of those, raising money at the same time as raising cost of goods and weakening the dollar.

There's other ways to handle the national debt than put broad tariffs on all our trading partners - including allies who have actually been very generous about their trade terms and investments in the US, like Japan, the UK (really much of western Europe), Canada etc.

If we really want to strength the dollar, we could raise wealth taxes (like capital gains or instituting a land value tax for example) and moderate spending. Why are tariffs superior to this? Tariffs only hurt the poor and middle classes anyway, who can't simply fly out of the country for large purchases to avoid them.
Denmarks largest export is Ozempic. Ignoring IP rules will hurt EU producers too.

How do you plan to ignore IP to hurt American tech companies. I guess if you allow piracy of all of netflixs content that would work (but same thing would hurt spotify).

Most tech companies are not protected by IP but by network effects and vendor lock in. It would be far simpler to simply implement a minimum tax on revenue or advertising spend in country to extract value.

Managementbrain's definition of a well rounded developer is also the definition of people they're trying to promote out of development. Then they look around at developers wondering why they all just don't "get it".

Probably because they took the money to change role rather than keep the job they wanted.
Europe has tariffs pretty much in line with the US. The weighted average tariff for the EU is 2.7% and 2.2% for the US.

There's of course the opportunity to get those in line, but that requires negotiations.
If a pair of shoes today costs $30, and a pair of shoes tomorrow costs $60 (not saying this will happen, just positing a scenario), from a consumer perspective, there has been 100% inflation in the price of shoes. It doesn't matter that the price increase is due to tarrifs on imports from Vietnam.
The limits are conveniently set so that the law doesn't apply to most EU companies. Only 4/25 included companies are EU (and 3/4 of those are porn, Booking.com isn't).

Edit: it's definitely worse if you go deeper into the rabbit hole. Sister legislature, Digital Markets Act:

Booking.com insisted on the fact that it is one of the only European companies that is a global success and that as they are not the most dominant actor in this sector, they should not be disincentivized while competing with bigger companies.

So yeah, "please only punish non-EU companies" definitely sounds like a trade barrier.
