I think I've got right around there where I'm living now; that's part of what makes it hard to contemplate leaving the country, even though this place (US) is turning pretty terrifying: I know if I leave it'll take years to build up friendships like that again, if it ever even happens.

Nah, go there and then start organizing with the warehouse workers to get them paid as much as you're being paid to do their job.

Makes sense; thanks!

How would that work? The President is the only one who can issue pardons, I thought.

Scheduling would not be fine; under HIPAA "provision of healthcare" is considered PHI, so knowing that person x had their care at a certain time and place would be a problem.

This appears to just be a compilation of other leaks: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-the-16-billion-credentials-leak-is-not-a-new-data-breach/

Still not a bad idea to change passwords and make sure MFA is enabled.

I believe either will work, so your call. If you really want to spark a tabs vs spaces holy war, I'll throw my vote in for tabs: they're semantic, whereas spaces are not--the meaning of a tab is "this is one level of indentation". Using spaces for indentation is like using <span class="italic"> instead of <i> for italics.

It is banned; they're talking about un-banning it

Because of studies like https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.03622:

Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI's codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

That's the Washington Post

 

Looks like they're pretty concerned with the possibility of mass discrimination by AI, perhaps in the wake of the news about United Healthcare using AI to decline coverage. This could be useful to people:

If you believe that you or someone you know has been subjected to unlawful discrimination due to a health care provider’s or health insurance plan’s use of AI, please let us know by submitting a complaint to my office: https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/

 

Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.

Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this:

There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.

The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?

Thanks!
