As far as I understand, this is wrong.

"The European Union (EU) cannot directly veto Amazon's acquisition of TikTok's U.S. operations, as the EU's jurisdiction is limited to transactions that impact the European market. However, if TikTok has significant operations or revenue in Europe, the EU could review the deal under its merger control and foreign investment regulations, such as the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). This applies to acquisitions involving companies with an EU turnover exceeding €500 million and substantial foreign financial contributions"

> it seems that people stopped buying green and purple cars and are buying black, white, and silver instead, with red/burgundy varying somewhat over time.

Because buying anything not in the standard white/black/corporate gray is easily an extra thousand euros on top of the car price. Red is still sometimes offered as standard color.

Just checked. I drive a Mazda CX-30. In Sweden literally anything that is not white is 500 to 1000 euro extra: https://www.mazda.se/bygg-din-mazda/MAZDA%20CX-30/5WGN/# skip to Exteriörlack (exterior color).

Of course there are some people like that, but if what you say were true I would expect to see wages go up significantly under the Blue Team and then fall back to low levels under the Red Team, yet that doesn't tend to happen. My whole life it's been consistently true that government salaries are much lower, but some people take them because they offer a lot of stability, great benefits, and often a pretty easy/laidback job compared to private industry.

Funny example of why more companies should offer self-service products that you can play with on your own. Even job ads become "ads"
I think this is still a meme.
When was anyone naive enough to think their company cared about them?

On the other hand, why should a company keep people around that they don’t need?

And the last point, speaking more about Microsoft/Amazon/Google, if you have worked for either company for any length of time, there is no excuse for you not to have a nice nest egg to tide you over especially considering the severance amounts they give you.

You might be forced to sully yourself and become an “enterprise developer” and make around what most of the 2.8 million developers in the US.

And yes, I did a bid at Amazon and within three years, I paid off some debt, saved a chunk of change, got my 3.5 months severance package and found another job quickly that was my target compensation (not enterprise dev).
> At least in the US, doing this is a non-starter.

So far, anyway. I wonder if legislation could move in that direction tho? For example, if you have multiple drunk driving offenses or are convicted of reckless driving they take your license away for a time.
The new authentication server (MAS) is at https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service (AGPLv3) and entirely self-hostable - e.g. https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm for the brand new official helm charts from Element, or https://github.com/element-hq/element-docker-demo for a very quick and dirty docker-compose setup i threw together.

MAS provides backwards compatibility for the old Matrix auth APIs for existing Matrix clients, so they do not need to be modified to keep working. However, to get the most out of all the new auth features (2FA, MFA, QR login etc. etc.) then clients will need to be upgraded to speak OIDC natively. Element X for instance is already OIDC-native.

May we please have another mod based within GMT to round out this follow-the-sun pattern that's slowly rising
For me the difference is that moderation by moderators is (usually) guided by some content policy, and one can disagree about the biases of the specific content policy, or disagree about applying a content policy based on topics and themes at all (as opposed to based on mere style and civility). With user actions, there is no predefined content policy, it’s just how the set of users who happen to read the specific thread or comment happen to feel.

Personally, I’d prefer no up-/downvoting and flagging at all (or flagging only to alert moderators), and purely chronological threading. But I also think that active moderation and crowd-sourced ranking mechanics are two different things.
Of course! Is this actually news though? They also did things like this before: they paid for a patent on drop out regularization. Math isn’t patentable, but a corporation will turn as many screws as it needs to make money.

A for-profit company doing research is always in the interest of improving the bottom line. I’ve always read papers from corporate labs with a big grain of salt. They won’t publish something that puts them in a negative light. They have an incentive to exaggerate and bend the truth. A companying publishing something is always marketing.

This is why it’s vital to have academics and non-profit foundations leading the frontier of research. It’s why the White House illegally pulling congressionally appropriated funding for universities is such an utter tragedy (and extreme national embarrassment). Everyone has their bias and their agenda they’re trying to advance, but publicly funded research is the better option when compared to for-profit corporate research.
If I'm authenticating with server A. I shouldn't have to carry ephemera from server B. A can interact with B on its own if necessary.

Bubbling up these architectural details to the front end is a symptom of the webdev cargo cult coming up with broken ideas that get fossilized as the status quo.
Seems robust enough for the scenarios it's applied to--and that's ok. One step forward could be self driving in certain areas.
Doesn't pass the smell test for me. The most obvious answer is probably the correct one and IMO the most obvious situation would be:

Jeffrey Goldberg's number was absolutely in Mike Waltz' phone because Mike Waltz was one of his sources.

Mike Waltz accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat either due to a misclick or (more likely, IMO) being dumb enough to use a conflicting contact id label for multiple people and being careless when forming the list.

Not being able to admit to being a Goldberg source for political reasons, he (Waltz) made up some insane story about the number being 'sucked into his phone' and having never talked to Goldberg.

Additionally, I'd assume (based on being the most obvious solution) that Trump et al fully realize Waltz was both responsible for this screwup and would like to fire him for it but view firing him as giving "the libs" a win and have stubbornly kept him on despite not really wanting to (less because of his screwup and more because of who he accidentally added).

Prof. Sussman's Reading List (2016)
There was no “US Court order.”

This is exactly what I was complaining about when I said the article omits key information. Here is a better one: https://www.wmar2news.com/infocus/family-of-alleged-gang-mem...

He went before an immigration judge (which is not a real judge, but rather an employee of the DOJ) who determined that he was deportable due to gang ties. He then appealed to the Board of Immigration appeals, which is not a real court but an agency within the DOJ. The BIA affirmed the immigration judge.

He wasn’t eligible for asylum, so the immigration judge said he could be deported anywhere but El Salvador. There was no violation of a “court order,” just a mix-up within the executive branch about where an illegal alien could be deported to.
You dont.

The problem with just using that definition is that drawing the line of what it means to have "the power to act" or to "act for, or in the place of, another" is subjective.

Most would agree that a system or automation that could receive the instruction "do my entire job for me" and proceed to physically embody a bio-clone of me, walk to my office, impersonate me 40hrs a week, and keep my pay check coming in while I play MMOs would satisfy the definition.

Most would also agree that a computer terminal receiving the command "git push origin main" doesn't qualify as an AI "agent". But in a very loose sense it does do the thing your definition says. It does some git work for me on behalf of me. So we'd argue about what exactly an AI is. Are we just using it as a stand-in for ML model enabled software agents now? Or for LLM+multi-modal transformer enabled models/systems?

Now pick 1000 points in between those two ends of the spectrum and you're gonna find that there is not a single cut-off where some see the transition from "Is an AI Agent" to "Is not an AI agent".

Is an LLM that can take my request to find me a movie showing for the new Transformer movie next Thursday night, buy the ticket, and add it to my calendar an AI agent? Or is that just voice-activated/human-language as input Zapier/IFTT? Is that just a regular ChatGPT prompt with an integration to my Fandango account and GCal?

Or would it need to monitor movie releases and as new movies come out, ask me pro-actively if I want it to go ahead and find time in my GCal and buy a ticket pro-actively?

Or does it need to be a software agent that is run by a movie studio and proactively posts content online to try to spread marketing for that movie ahead of its release?

Does it need to be a long-running software process instantiated (birthed) to a docker pod, given a single goal ("make the Transformers movie more profitable, focusing on marketing"), and then doing all the rest of the planning, execution, etc. itself?

Defining that cut-off is the hard part, or what definition gives us a useful way to determine that cut-off. I'd argue your dictionary definition doesn't really do it.

> And by making Real ID a requirement for travel within the country, the American government is effectively creating an “internal passport” of the sort that oppressive regimes (including North Korea) use to limit their people’s freedom of movement, and to create distinct classes of citizens.

That's some serious hyperbole. A requirement to board a plane != "a requirement for travel within the country."
Am I missing somewhere it tells you the word list is a lot more restrictive than Wordle? Even if the solution can't be a plural, I think it makes sense to allow it to find out letter positions (maybe it could warn you but let you make the guess anyways?).
Putting race aside for a moment - I completely agree, my experience (though not a huge sample set) is that most officers get to your car expecting confrontation, and when they don’t get it end up just issuing a warning / writing a less severe ticket. Given that it’s easy to get out of a ticket afterwards, why argue it on the side of the road?
OSS is a side hustle for most people that work it. It might turn into a full time paid gig for some but that's usually based on merit or just being in the right place at the right time. Which of course is nice but not something you can plan on having. Additionally a lot of OSS software is created by people that are doing this as part of their job at some company that happens to have some interest in a project or creates new projects.

Either work for one of those. Or just contribute without any expectations about money. That's not for everyone but it kind of is how a lot of OSS gets created. And mostly hiring for such projects is done on merit based on being an active contributor. If you have a community of contributors, that's a great pool to hire from. You already know the people and their capabilities.

I have a few OSS projects on Github. Most of those are just things I'm interested in doing anyway. I don't mind giving that away. I use a lot of OSS as well in my non OSS development so I see this as just contributing back and being a good OSS citizen. My own little way of providing back.

And it's a useful way to make new freelance projects or jobs a bit less Ground Hog day. If you keep on writing the same code over and over again; just put it out there with some OSS license and next time reuse what you've already written. I've done that between a few startups now (where I was CTO so I could just do that at my discretion). Nice to not have to start from zero.

And there are secondary effects if you are active as a consultant or freelancer in the sense that having some projects that people actually use gives you a bit more credibility as a developer, as an expert, as somebody that knows what they are talking about. Minimum it's just a nice portfolio of stuff you can do. Maximum it actually helps generate a bit of business and inbound for your services. People don't pay for OSS software. But they do pay for support, consulting, etc. And you are the world's leading expert on your OSS software.

I dabble on the side (next to my main job as a CTO) doing occasional consulting on Elasticsearch and related technologies. I maintain a Kotlin client for Elasticsearch/Opensearch which is getting some usage and contributions. Mostly that's just something I use myself; so I don't mind spending some time on it.

Most of my customers are not necessarily into Kotlin; so they wouldn't be using my software necessarily. But it helps them understand that I know what I'm doing and talking about. And it gets me a bit of exposure. OSS is not a bad sales tactic to just put yourself out there.
It's a variant to the Kahn's algorithm. Here's the description in the comment on the function.

// This is a variant to the Kahn's algorithm, with additions on
// finding dependence-free subsets and finding the cyclic nodes.
//
// This algorithm iteratively finds out the root sets of the graph.
// 1. Find the first root set of the graph.
// 2. Remove the nodes of the root set from the graph.
// 3. Find the next root set. Go to 2 until the graph is empty.
// A root set consists of nodes depending on no other nodes, i.e.
// nodes whose incoming link count is 0.

The successive root sets form a topological order.

The in-degree of a node is the count of the incoming links of the leading nodes that the node is depending on. The in-degree can change as other nodes are removed from the graph.

Kahn's algorithm uses a queue to hold the pending nodes and works on one node at a time. My insight is that it's simpler to treat the root nodes as sets, and to partition the root nodes into the current root set and the next root set, which work nicely with the double-buffer mechanism. As a benefit, the nodes in a root set are dependence-free with regard to the current round and can be used for parallel processing.
If you didn't do any of this, you would be just fine, happy even.

Well, that's not strictly true. The president can't pardon people for convictions by state courts, for instance. Nor can the president issue pardons for presidential impeachments.

It's not clear that a president can pardon himself, either, but that's not been tested in court so who knows?
It kind of depends. See Kagi Privacy Pass ("Allows you to use Kagi Search with Privacy Pass, which cryptographically ensures that Kagi cannot tie that request to an account and allows for further privacy and anonymity."): https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html
I have both. I remember having to get the passport, and remember each renewal (getting pictures, collecting the documents, finding the forms, sending them in, waiting to get them back). I have Real ID as well and have no memory of actually getting it, which makes me think it wasn't very hard.

Having to carry a passport card within the US sounds harder than just carrying my license. Especially when the passport card has all sorts of warnings about keeping it in the paper sleeve it comes with. It acts like it needs to be treated with kid gloves, and not just thrown in a wallet, like a license.
I'm a vet who has been coding now for almost 20 years, and I'd be willing to be a mentor but unfortunately the website doesn't quite answer my questions. Specifically:

The passport card is slightly larger than a credit card and thus doesn't fit properly in most wallets. Otherwise I wouldn't mind having it on my all the time.
It is all hyperbolic BS. I have a Real ID and don't even recall the process being different. Show a birth certificate and get an ID. Not a big deal.

-Real ID will make it easier for hackers and terrorists to steal our identities, and for governments and corporations to discriminate against us.

-the American government is effectively creating an “internal passport” of the sort that oppressive regimes (including North Korea) use to limit their people’s freedom of movement

-Real ID will abet the federal government’s already out-of-control discrimination against immigrants and their families.

-Real IDs have been called “hacker bait,” since they would give criminals and others another supposedly trusted identification to penetrate.

If you scrap a laptop you get a nice, auditable, chain of custody from the end user to the company that will certify it's been destroyed. If you sell someone their old laptop you need to ensure that it's actually been wiped, not just "I copied my files over and started using the new one". I've seen a few IT departments be not great at "Sam got their new laptop two weeks ago, someone should follow up now to see if the wipe on the old one happened".

One choice won't get you fired, the other might save you a bit of cash.

Oh they definitely have, and likely continue to re-evaluate periodically. They've even done a lot of tests and such to determine feasibility. Unfortunately the costs tend to balloon when done internally, and the quality is not necessarily better.
