This was also my first thought, that for example if you interact with official bodies in Germany, there is definitely an expectation that you speak German, even though you'll be accommodated if you're lucky and the other person speaks English.

But then again, I noticed that in the last few years more and more offerings were in other languages, too. During covid, many announcements or the app paid for by the government supported multiple languages. There might not be a right to perform official duties in languages other than German, but more and more it's a possibility. Sibling comments found similar examples.

My point being: much of the western world seems to move towards openness, inclusiveness, and accessibility, whereas the US currently moves backwards, as exemplified by the OP.

I do this from time to time as well, although I tend to get hung up on error handling. I would say that it's a simple enough exercise if you don't care too much about reporting parse errors in a meaningful way, although I'd be happy for someone to point out an implementation of error handling that fits into one's head.
I know. Im not saying they were committing fraud. Im saying this is of questionable social value to subsidize.
I bought it for £12k when it was 3 years old (Skoda Octavia) and I'm hoping it will last 20 years at least. Service is like £200, insurance £230, MOT £50, tax £130 or something. Ok maybe more like £1.3k. Still waaaay less than €6k.

Park it on the drive. Yeah I wasn't including fuel costs because they depend on how much you drive. I'm probably about at about £500/year at most (I work from home).

When I commuted by car it would have been maybe £1k/year (£10/day but I lift shared).
Underwater scenes on "For your eyes only" (1981) were all filmed on land because Carole Bouquet couldn't go underwater. When you know it you can see it, but when I saw the film (one of the first time I ever went to the movies) I didn't notice it at all.

This is a major "vector" of abuse in the games industry. Right now, you could go on certain Discord servers and find tens of jobs that "can't pay right now" but will have various benefits in the future.

I'm happy it worked out for you, and maybe the 90s was a different time. But now, to go for the same deal would be foolish. And come to think of it, people were raising hell about it in games, even in the late 90s.

I'd say this practice today needs to die out. I'm sure 80% of companies with a temporary cash crunch (but a legitimate business model) can get bank credit to cover salaries. It's not even a big hassle - the business banking app usually approves the line of credit automatically in a few seconds, anyways. Depending on the regular cashflow, it can be up to small five figures - enough to pay a month or two of salaries. If they don't want to pay, that's a different matter.
More abstract arguments about taxpayer money aside, English expertise on a citizenship level is actually quite the counter-argument for this move.

A significant number, or possibly a majority of, adult native English speakers in the US actually speak English significantly below their formal education level: around 90% of them have at least graduated high school, but 54% of them read English below sixth grade level.

Standard English competency testing for the citizenship test is a joke (you have to read and write one of three sentences in a manner that demonstrates basic comprehension and familiarity with the language). But even so, there's a sizable number of native adult English speakers who would fail it.

So while they may have had to learn English in school or used it to pash their citizenship test, that's no guarantee that adults still speak it well enough. That's not particularly surprising, given that there are large, non-English speaking communities in the US. Someone who's passed their citizenship test in the 1980s and has spoken English maybe once a week afterwards in a shop or a restaurant is likely to have forgotten most of it.

inb4 "but you have to know it to come here": kind of (adjusting for the barebones testing), but the largest group of low-English literacy adults is actually white, native-born Americans, and most low-English literacy adults are native-born: https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp
>Drivers are precisely the reason we only have Windows, Macos and Linux as viable options

That is one big issue and another one is software.

Writing drivers and porting software means both time and money.

How ever if a new OS would bring lots of benefits to both users and companies, it might tip the scale and make the time and money investment worthwhile.

Of course, by a new OS I don't mean just another platform that ebables us to run software and use hardware, as existing OSes do that just fine.

By a new operating system, I mean one that enables us to use new computing paradigm, enable new types of software to software and software to hardware interactions and would make a big disruption to the market. Something with the same kind of impact as AI or the introduction of smartphones.

The biggest things that our dumb oligarchs here profit from are almost 0 or zero.

It's only the shit that we want to buy retail on Amazon US that are crazy expensive. And a big chunk is ICMS, that is state wide, not federal tax.

On top of that DHL charges a premium.

I know because sometimes I can buy directly using my prime subscription my beloved Nintendo games (that I hope I can buy directly from Asia now and cut one big middleman).

Brazil's deficit in the last decade accumulates hundreds of billions USD already, but only benefits a few. Yet as a good dogs we feel relieved that is only 10%. But you forget our biggest export products are already 35% on top what was before (steel).

This is a oligarchy fight that will splat on everyone, including my eggs since we quintupled the exports to cover someone's asses.

By the way, why do we need to buy expensive ethanol abroad since ours is cheaper, but in my state ethanol is never cheaper than gasoline?

And yes, Nike has cheaper shoes too, but per article, if it's retailing for $50, it probably costs $12 tops to make.

They likely mean US-domiciled ETFs which hold foreign shares. The big providers (BlackRock, Vanguard and friends) typically have copies of their big funds domiciled in, at least, the US and Ireland (or sometimes Luxembourg); the European versions are UCITS-compliant, and often offered in an accumulating variant (not tax efficient in the US, but it is in some European counties), but otherwise basically the same thing.

For instance, here are two BlackRock ETFs tracking the MSCI emerging markets index, one US-domiciled and one Ireland-domiciled: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239637/ishares-msci-emer... , https://www.ishares.com/uk/individual/en/products/251857/ish...

Well, I see your point, but given the answer to op was "Ok, sad to see you are not loyal to the company," he effectively dodged a bullet.

It's probable that your experience was successful because you already had personal trust on behalf of your company.

You never owe free work. You can choose to do it anyway because you trust someone, but nobody is entitled to act as if you owe them any loyalty.
>From this model, you can see a few things.

First, adding $26 tariff at the port doesn't just add $26 to the final price. Everything here works off of percentages. In this simple model, we say Nike has a landed cost of $25, sells it to Footlocker for $50, and they retail at $100

Not sure I agree that everything works on percentages. Shipping has a fixed cost, etc.

I discovered not long ago that it's actually considered "an abomination unto the LORD", so imagine the ancient world equating homosexual buggery with failure to pay wages. If only we still adhered to such moral standards. But seriously, it's true, the USA seems to have strong protections about this sort of abomination, and I am thankful that I've always worked W-2 and never 1099 or under-table for reputable corporations who were always above-board with their payrolls.

Of course I've also donated thousands of hours to my church, including genuinely skilled, high-level sort of labor, and it took me several decades to figure out that I really need to expect nothing at all in return for that kind of service!

I'm currently building one called Nitro Kit.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion on what something like this should and should be or do. Nitro Kit is my opinion and I'm getting a lot of joy from using it on my own sites and services.

It's free and open source and, full disclaimer, there's a paid premium offering too.

Here's a video about my reasoning behind building it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li-RPk561l8
This isn’t really “allowing” fraud though. From the memo:

> Prosecutors shall prioritize cases that hold accountable individuals who (a) cause financial harm to digital asset investors and consumers; and/or (b) use digital assets in furtherance of other criminal conduct, such as fentanyl trafficking, terrorism, cartels, organized crime, and human trafficking and smuggling. Seeking accountability from individuals who perpetrate these types of wrongdoing deters future illegal activity, compensates victims, and promotes the public’s confidence in the digital asset markets and broader industry. On the other hand, criminal matters premised on regulatory violations resulting from diffuse decisions made at lower levels of digital asset companies often fail to advance the priorities of the Department.

I read this as switching from proactive enforcement (stop the act before it causes damage) to reactive regulation (punish the guilty after the act happens). Proactive regulation of public markets makes sense because the general public has an interest in well-functioning capital markets even if they are not direct participants (markets are essentially the capitalist replacement for central planning).

The US still does not have an official language.

It has an executive order from the Chief Executive directing all federal government services be conducted in English only. Congress has enacted no law declaring English as the official language of all states, nor can it do so without a constitutional amendment unless it does so as a further amendment to the interstate commerce act.

It's the policy of this country, it doesn't matter who sets it.

It doesn't matter if it's set by parliament. It doens't matter if it's set by an independent body. The fact is that you will receive a harsher sentence for being a white male than you will if you belong to any other group. That is the policy. The Conservative government thought that was the right thing to do.

Apparently the new government 'will' introduce a bill to stop this, but they haven't yet. So it's still the policy.

Meanwhile it's legal and popular to discriminate against white men and women on the basis of being white - the government, police and military regularly put out jobs only for none whites. But if I were to put out a role only for whites, that's against the law. This discrimination extends to our top universities where it's becoming much more difficult (relative to population %) to obtain a spot as a white student.

That's why people think this country is now a two tier system, and they're right. Opportunities are being taken from those who have earned them and given to those who have not. Meritocracy and equality under the law is already long gone.
This wasn’t a new role, I’d been working at the business for about 18 months by that point. It doesn’t sound like what you describe at all.

I believed in what we were doing. I’d built a new game engine for the Dreamcast (the only nextgen console available at that point), we’d created two good game demos, the team was full of industry veterans and I liked and respected everyone I worked with. I also saw the lengths my boss was going to to make it work (including remortgaging his house to finance the short term).

In hindsight it was obvious where it was going. But I wasn’t being manipulated or abused. And I will argue vigorously and vehemently that we weren’t being taken advantage of. We were fighting to save what we felt was a good thing.

> I'm sure 80% of companies with a temporary cash crunch (but a legitimate business model) can get bank credit to cover salaries

This wouldn’t be an option in the situation I describe. You would need orders and evidence of delayed payments that can be used to cover the loans once they arrive.

That kind of finance is actually quite hard to get in the UK.
Interestingly, I found operating at this level to have been a necessity if I wanted to fix or write a derivation. Otherwise I would face random errors and be left clueless as to what the problem was.

I have used Nix on and off for work since 2018. We are using Nix at my current employer for two projects. I agree that if you want to go beyond some simple dev shells, for any realistically complex project you really need Nix Pills-level understanding (+ a good idea of how things work in nixpkgs).

It's a two-edged sword - the learning curve is very steep, but once you have that level of understanding, it's a superpower. We heavily use CUDA/ROCm machine learning stacks and Nix makes it much easier to ensure everyone is using the same development environment. Switching between different branches that may have different sets of dependencies/dependency versions always works. Also, it's much easier to stack custom patches on dependencies and caching avoids all the rebuilds.

I'd be very curious to know how these results would differ across other LLM providers and education levels.

My wife is a secondary school teacher (UK), teaching KS3, GCSE, and A level. She says that most of her students are using Snapchat LLM as their first port of call for stuff these days. Many of the students also talk about ChatGPT but she had never heard of Claude or Anthropic until I shared this article with her today.

My guess would be that usage is significantly higher across all subject, and that direct creation is also higher. I'd also assume that these habits will be carried with them into University over the coming years.

It would be great to see this as an annual piece, a bit like the StackOverflow survey. I can't imagine we'll ever see similar research being written up by companies like Snapchat but it would be fascinating to compare it.
