I was expecting the same. It does seem like a good euphemism for a contractor that kills it (not literal killer).

So he was competiting in the Olympics of ignoring red flags. While she was competiting in the Olympics of least intelligent murderers. Even OJ managed to figure it out: verdict, then books.

The free version of cloudflare is essentially a "fair-use" offering, meaning that it is free until they decide its no longer free for you at their sole discretion [0]. Their terms of service prohibits distribution of any "disproportionate percentage" of non-HTML content [1]. That includes most of what you would want a CDN for: video, images, audio, binaries.

They have exercised this discretion repeatedly for significant bandwidth users, usually in the form of "You need to upgrade to the enterprise plan or we will terminate services for your site." One of my sites got the enterprise "offer" after serving single digit TB in a month. Running on a real CDN from the start would have been cheaper than inevitably getting extorted to a large <contact sales> price for <contract term> or terminated with little to no time to migrate things.

Although my intuition would seem to agree with you, Ada is still heavily used in industries where programming errors are fatal like avionics, medical devices, military, space, automotive. None of these industries typically like to operate in public view so I believe there is a reasonable argument that Ada may even be underrepresented in most indexes.

Regarding 3, It seems like its related to package size. Openssh-server has the same problem [3]. Was also looking at some moderately sized packages and it was struggling but would eventually return the page. Smaller packages seem to be no problem.

That's even more depressing, can't even visit for a day without risking life (assuming it wasn't targeted). May he rest in peace.

Its possible, my great grandad recently passed away at well over 95 and was still making new ham radio projects at least couple times a month. Granted, his hands were no longer steady enough to solder himself but he could still draw the circuits and tell someone what to do. It was common to see him "space out" through every family social gathering only to dart to the basement as soon as it was over to build what he had been planning in his head the whole time. I think his not-so-secret was just to never stop doing it.

Thanks for sharing this, I always figured the contacts in WWTBH would be mostly low quality (similar to recruiter spam) so never bothered before. But now that I actually think about it some of the best jobs I've ever had were companies that approached me.

Great to see some more innovations in this space. What seperates it from bountysource or similar?

Curious, which bannings you are referring to? I thought this was a thing of the past.

Yeah, your right, there is no point in arguing with someone who just labels everything as laughable but cant back up anything they say.

Education is speculative gambling that teaching the student will amount to them increasing productivity enough to be worth the resources (time, money, supplies) spent educating them. Driving is speculative gambling that reaching your destination faster will be more profitable than the cost of the vehicle, wear and tear, gas/electricity, cost associated with risk of car crash. Eating is speculative gambling that the one eating will provide more value in some way than the value of the food and water they consume.

Everything you mentioned and implied here is the case for every fiat currency also. Using Japanese Yen to buy food at a US grocery store is unlikely to be practical. Just as trying to use USD in Japan is impractical. The only substantial difference is that crypto's practical jurisdiction is primarily the internet, with some adoption in the "real-world" (shops/services that choose to accept crypto). This makes crypto incredibly practical for online transactions but only practical for real-world applications where it has been adopted. Most crypto payments can be done for cheap, quickly (seconds to minutes), in a practically trust-less environment (not the case for fiat), and are irrevocable (which is a benefit for many). You can borrow crypto with crypto lenders against just about anything legally enforceable, including your house or car (although willing crypto lenders are becoming scarcer and more expensive with the increasingly inconsistent regulatory behavior of the US Government). A major advantage cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum have, is that they provide practically trust-less contracts between entities, evaluated by code rather than a possibly incompetent or compromised judge as you might get in the real-world.

Just FYI, payments in the traditional banking systems are very much not immediate, they just appear that way from your perspective. The perspective usually breaks down if you try to move a large amount of currency around, you will get anything from straight up denials, many month waiting periods, money getting "lost" in processing for months, and large surprise fees. The "immediate" transaction illusion you see are just agreements between major financial entities to make transactions appear fast but are limited volume to reduce banks risk. For example, common credit card transactions, no matter how small, are not actually cleared for over 150 days. Based on my experience European banks are no different although I haven't tried it as often as I have in the US.

By shady guy, the commenter is likey referring to peer-to-peer marketplace swapping of fiat and crypto, not DEXes. DEXes cannot offer fiat currencies since it is inherently centralized. AFAIK, the only options to exchange fiat are centralized exchanges and peer-to-peer marketplaces, both of which rely on extensive trust in a very small number of people, and are not open-source or publicly-auditable.

Interestingly enough, the reason why I do it is because in both real estate markets and dating apps, its extremely common to have questions not answered (or not answered correctly).

For example, in real estate try sorting by decreasing lot size, everything at the top of the search will be microscopic lots where they multiplied the acreage by 1000x or more.

On the dating apps I tried at one point, adding filters for a question filters out everyone that did not answer the question, which is not the desired result for many things, so I just removed the filter altogether and filter manually. So in that case its more of a function of shitty design of real estate and dating apps that caused it for me.

Skimming is being generous most places now. ATS is really the only thing that "reads" them.

Thank you for explaining, I certainly wont downvote (not that I know how to anyways). Sorry in advance if you get nuked just for answering my question. Those are certainly opinions that seem consistent to me and are not just the usual parroting of <choose a media outlet> that seems to be so prevalent now. You've restored my faith in the free thinking public just a little bit today, so thanks.

EE is a pretty big field with a lot of different areas so its somewhat difficult to give general recommendations but if you are looking to see what your intro courses will look like you might take a look at MIT's open courseware or edX for intro to circuit analysis or digital logic. Many schools also publish which textbooks they use for most courses which may be helpful if you want to check them out. If you want to get hands on with some circuits, you can make some cool projects pretty quickly with an ardunio (or similar cheaper knockoff) (it uses a subset of C for programming).

If your considering the textbook route, I have some resources in a google drive from my undergrad I can share if you send me an email to add (my email is in profile).

Do you believe the same for the US involvment in the ukraine conflict? The wars in the middle east? Vietnam? Korea? and so on? If not, what differences made you arrive at a different conclusion?

To be clear I'm not implying you are wrong in terms of a conflict is being setup with China, just curious if your criticism is consistently applied. Many if not most news outlets are saying exactly what you are, but only make this distinction for China.

I don't think they were claiming that academics are responsible for politicians behavior, rather that politicians often use academic work with little to no understanding of it and/or as an excuse to give their predetermined conclusion (increase spending) "expert backing."

A lit match is a bit of an understatement, more like a flamethrower that only works when aimed at lower and middle class.

Just a guess, but it would not be surprising if there are variations in stylistic writing that are influenced by environment (location, people interacted with, air quality, etc). I have certainly observed it happen with myself based on who I've interacted with recently.

I think you are worrying yourself about LLMs for no real reason. Dispite what the large LLM investors and irrational fanboys claim, it won't displace _skilled_ workers that evolve themselves like I'm positive you are. That said, you should specialize to some balance of what pays well and your interests.

You should consider majoring in something other than CS, not because of LLMs or anything like that but because there is tremendous value in having an intersection of trades that you are good at. I went for Electrical & Computer Engineering in school for this reason (and the fact that I didn't want to waste my time&money taking formal classes for the vast majority of things I've already learned before entering college).

Electrical/Computer Engineering is a sweet spot because you get to learn hardware very intimately but also usually take upper-level CS classes. Learning the hardware also makes much better software engineers. I've yet to run into a single employer in the tech space that doesn't treat the degree as the same or better than a CS degree.

Couldnt the same be done with the generation model? I.e, The detection model can emulate the generation model to inform detection.

Amusing that the authors acknowledge ChatGPT for "improving clarity and readability" of the paper.

Is this purely a preprint or has it passed a peer review?

If i recall correctly, they have the same name because they were once the same project. Renaming would likely break many workflows/bookmarks that people use to tell the difference. Maybe mirroring the existing repo to another with origin in the name would be a compromise?

Maybe (s)he should make a new one to combat this issue. In all seriousness though the amount of nextjs dependencies on this practically static site is probably part of the joke.

I would blow off signing it for as long as possible while interviewing with other companies to see what you can find then make your choice. The only scenarios I would sign that is if there were no better options compared to the 10% cut, or i had absolute faith in the companies management in terms of ability and trust (extremely rare, almost always a mistake)

Buyers wont be paying much, if any premium right now unless there is a significant asset that is very valuable to multiple businesses (very much a buyers market).

Its likely that shutting down before the next big bill hits (end of month?) then liquidating is most profitable route since it appears that it is operating at a loss. Im sure there is residual value here, but probably less as a whole.

If there is lawsuit risk, buyers may prefer dissolution of the company and just aquiring its assets instead.
