Profit generating services at FAANG's pay good money for engineers to be woken up in the middle of the night to fix whatever problems might arise.
It's been over 24 hours.
There is a serious bug, and the backups aren't working as expected.
Hugs to the SRE's.
The market is massive, play your cards right and this could be just the beginning. Do you speak to users in person much and have an idea of what people want?
One of these days we're going to need to give these models a mortgage and some mouths to feed and make it clear to them that if they keep on developing biases from their training data everyone will shun them and their family will go hungry and they won't be able to make their payments and they'll just generally have a really bad time.
After that we'll make them sit through Legal's approved D&I video series, then it's off to the races.
If possible could you include a license? I don't like touching code without one, as sharing modifications and/or derivatives is a potential copyright violation.
If he has the money, fleeing before charges were laid was probably even rational, as there is no reason to expect the legal system is equipped to deliver justice in something so new.
Except what's next? Live in hiding in a foreign country? Craft a new identity and find new chains to exploit? I suppose 18 years old is a good time to learn that you can have all the money in the world, but it won't do shit for you if you can't spend time with the people you want to.
I'd wager this individual could get much more satisfaction out of developing novel, interesting mathematics that do actual good for humanity, surrounded by a group of like minded high performing individuals. But he seems to have thrown hopes of that out the window. It's sad, really.
But I'm perhaps projecting.
The language could represent that, but you pay per operation so checks tend to get thrown out the window.
See "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and give proper thanks to the civil rights activists.
At no point in history have we ever had a mental illness treatment doctrine that we can look back on and say "that was a good thing we did, go us". I happen to believe that the present day will be viewed upon no more favorably, what with our pills by the pocket-full and unregulated medical advertisements on social media. (Instagram sponsored content would seem to have the whole world believing they are in desperate need of antidepressants and Adderall, paid for by... the shillers of antidepressants and Adderall, how interesting.)
The same Microsoft that just issued 20+% pay cuts to everyone not living in a "high cost of living" area (CA, NY, WA)?
And staff are leaving? Wow. I didn't know that. I just uh... you're telling me now for the first time.
Couple: I don't think we're ready to commit the massive amount of time/money/love/etc. required to raise a kid yet, but what do you say we get a dog?
Ilrwbwrkhv: Pyscopaths.
Good idea, chocolate for instance is always in then "absolutely not" category, but if you dig a bit deeper you find that a dog such as my own (50 lb) can consume over a pound of milk chocolate without cause for concern. https://www.petful.com/pet-health/how-much-chocolate-toxic-d...
This is why IMO blockchains should be designed to be inflationary. On one hand it just makes sense that as more compute is added transactions should be able to process faster and tokens should be minted more rapidly, such that by "mining" you are producing real value (allowing the chain to process more transactions per second and more people to acquire tokens), on the other very few people use crypto for anything besides speculation so such a coin would never be widely adopted.
What a dull life it must be to presume your understanding is complete.
Thats the one! Relevant action item:
Improvise a natural shelter. For the purpose of this demonstration, use techniques that have little negative impact on the environment. Spend a night in your shelter.
What is it about free lipids and proteins spontaneously joining together in chaotic aquatic environments to form highly resilient microscopically sub-dividable shells that you find so trollishly unrelated to the concept of membranes forming in early earth conditions?
Bubbles would like to interject. as found in sea foam, for instance.
They didn't even teach building an emergency shelter.
This is now a requirement. I don't remember the exact merit badge, but one of them had me and a friend huddled up between two logs surrounded by pine boughs for a summer night somewhere in the sierras.
It was cold, but manageable. What got me was a bug of some sort fell into my ear and I spent the whole night alternating between trying to pick out out with my finger, shaking my head wildly in attempt to make it fall out, or just lying there listening to it scurry back and forth in my ear canal.
Penelope Scott's "Rät" [1] touches on this in a way I adore -
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison
GH contributions primarily from three people, all affiliated with https://www.wearebraid.com/home. Seems to be some web dev consultancy that has open sourced part of their toolchain.
Some meat substitutes use fungus. IMO they tend to produce the best chicken substitutes, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorn
Same with utilities... I swear I need to provide more PII to pay my utilities than to login to my bank account. Who's going around paying other peoples bills and how do I become friends with them?
Research is research, but anecdotes are anecdotes. And anecdotally, I can tell you that having done the same drive in the same conditions many times with both a Jeep Wrangler and a Toyota Prius, the Wrangler consistently has far more bugs on it, and requires multiple cleanings per leg of the journey. The Prius requires no cleanings for the duration of the trip.
If you consider the military the end customer, sure. But take a step back and the military is the just the defense vendor for the People. If the People don't need their president to be supplied with all that tech, then the military has over-engineered their solution to the People's "our president should be able to move places relatively quickly and relatively safely" problem.
Does that go both ways? Who do you (presumably nerd) respect? Sales people? PMs? Jocks? Influencers?
Walter broke his own record set in 2019 with 81 years and 85 days.
So not exactly news... still impressive, and some quotes worth considering:
Walter believes that the best part about having a job is that it gives you a sense of purpose, commitment and a routine.
He comments that the best professional advice he can give is to try to work for a good company and in an area where you feel motivated.
"I don’t do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise and go to work; you need to get busy with the present, not the past or the future. Here and now is what counts. So, let’s go to work!"
An Eckhart Tolle fan? :)
It's basically impossible to build them out of wood without lining them with something which may have negative health effects to humans or plants.
Not so! Many types of wood (cedar is a big one) can withstand direct weather/soil exposure for extended periods of time (multiple years at minimum). Yes you'll need to maintain them every so often, but surely you aren't going into gardening not expecting to maintain equipment.
Description of Mark: The mark consists of the letters "PIXY" in a stylized font, with three partial circles representing smoke blooms over the letters.
The author [1] merely stated many people distrust David French, in a highly tongue in cheek manner meant to hook people into reading the rest of the essay. You're the leaping to terms like "hate" and "you're either with us or against us", perhaps reflect on why you've done that?
At the very least, reflect on the immense irony of someone "losing all credibility in your mind" because you perceive them to have a "you're either with us or against us" mentality.
[1] who refers to themselves as "Resident Contrarian", to give you an idea of their intended persona
Blaming the website for your own agent doing something you don't want it to is learned helplessness.
Every marketing cookie generates revenue for the website in some way or another. The website wants revenue, so it asks the user agent to maintain those cookies. The user agent agrees. Then the operator of the user agent gets upset that the website asked their agent to store the cookies? Get upset that your agent agreed, not that a request was made.
Or better yet, don't get upset at all and just solve the darned problem yourself. Is this Hacker News or Complier News?
Your user agent saves the cookies. If you don't like it, change it.
How does that counter work with the whole federation thing? Also is that sign ups, monthly active, monthly engaged, daily active,...?
