> It's pretty much letting people with GPUs become a sort of 'mini-cloud provider'. There's no job queue or fancy distributing computing setup. We just let you SSH into a container on someone's computer, and pay for the time used.

I had the same idea a few days ago - but in my head, the process would be wrapped up as a "cryptocurrency" where the AI researchers pay real money and the "proof of work" is useful/"real" work. I ran into 2 issues regarding trust: the first is that how do you verify that the hardware owner is running the real job an not NOOP'ing and sending false results? The second issue is how do you protect the hardware from malicious jobs? GPUs have DMA access - how do you stop task submitters from rooting your box and recruiting it into an AI botnet (for free)?I ended up dismissing the idea, but if you could work out these 2 issues, there's money to be made...

IATSE Low Budget Theatrical Agreement sets a Tier-1 ("lowest"...their is a mythical tier-0, but its negotiated) for budgets under $6 million; Tier-2 is $6-10, and Tier-3 is $10-14

A Tier-1 has benefits such as $108/day toward healthcare, retirement. Pay rates in the range of $21-26/hr.

That said, i know of plenty of super-low budget indies that are just too small to use the contract -- the union often doesn't mind, and union workers will still do these 'passion projects' because they love the work

Bullshit. It is 100% advantage for the employee. Another employee and myself got laid off with 2 days notice from my former employer when they decided they were going to try to use less people.

In a lot of ways I envy these people; there's a lot of hardship they face with the lack of permanent address, and I can't imagine that RV living is incredibly pleasant nor cheap compared to more conventional housing, but they're also untethered in ways that make living "normally" seem like the crazy proposition. Job stability is basically out the window in the modern economy, so why tether yourself to a lease? With the gig economy, RV living allows you, at least theoretically, to follow the jobs in a way most only dream of. In rising housing prices, it's stable rent by comparison. Being able to take your whole home with you on vacation is another huge plus.

I think the Hawaii example was rhetorical, but you can find examples of Americans being fired for supporting BDS movement or speaking against Israel occupation of Palestine, we even have laws against doing business with BDS supporters in some states. So we do evidently care enough about these sorts of disputes to make laws about them.
It's not about the compiler doing "extra checks" to deliberately do something different. The real issue is with aggressive optimizations.

In order to get maximum performance, the compiler is allowed to assume that the programmer doesn't invoke undefined behavior. In other words, it can replace code with something that is equivalent in the presence of UB, but does something totally different in the absence of UB. See e.g. https://blog.regehr.org/archives/767 for some examples of how this can go wrong. (My favorite is the third one.)
> The technology to produce hydrogen from water at efficiencies far exceeding

I was talking about safety and locality of generating hydrogen fuel, and I am sure that whatever advance you are talking about from thirty years ago is captured in the numbers I referenced.

> Permanent batteries were also developed in the 1970s. They are currently in use by the military.

Neat, but not relevant to my assertion.

> The problem isn't technology and hasn't been for a long time.

So you are saying that the reason we can't have hydrogen safely generated in pumping stations is because Toyota has some sort of patent or other rights that restrict its use?

> The problem is the international slavery system runs on oil and will for the foreseeable future.

How is Toyota benefiting from oil over hydrogen fuel cell?

chkservice – A tool for managing systemd units from the linux terminal
This happens a lot on the reddit mobile app. Sometimes I'm just browsing and out of nowhere I see an orange upvote or a purple downvote that I likely trigger just by scrolling to the comments.

It also happened to me once or twice that I was looking at the Facebook profile of someone and then 2 hours later I got a notification saying that that person accepted my friendship request. Somehow I mistakenly sent those requests.

At least for the latter, I've always thought there should be some impedance to avoid this. Like slide to send request or some other small friction interaction.

This is also why people in France have stable, long-term jobs, instead of being fired by Wallmart every 6 months due to some war veteran scheme that allows them to save 0.1% on employee salaries.

In this particular case, if the man wasn't trained appropriately to handle international PR while doing so, the wrongdoing lies with the company.

The article itself seems to adopt a certain attitude that I really dislike. For one, I don't believe that the employee clicked accidentally. It really sounds like a lie. Then the arguments alternate between "it's not my job" and "Why should we care about China/other countries? Why should just tell them to f-ck off!". The truth is that both the US and the company seem to have an opinion. The employee, either due to negligence or ignorance, broke that line, and the company faced a backlash. It's not like China is exceptionally evil or something. I hate people trying to vilify entrire countries and politicize everything. It sounds like the author is just looking for a reason to bash China.

I'm amazed that this is legal in a first world country- it would be illegal to do this in a couple of third-world countries I'm personally familiar with: the laws state that if you're a on contract for more than a certain number of months, you automatically become a permanent employee. Firing and rehiring for the same position as a contractor is straight-up illegal.
I'm sure someone years ago said the same of facebook back when friendster was on the decline (not assuming Fb is on decline here, just sayin'). But have you really used or even seriously considered riot/matrix? There are so many vibrant communities! Do you feel that such communities are not worth your time unless they are visited by at least millions of users? Not trying to be facetious, merely a rhetorical question. I suggest you try other things, yes riot/matrix, but also other platforms...who knows, perhaps you will find satisfaction in smaller communities...then you tell YOUR friends, and then they gravitate to those other platforms, and boom you have your network effect - at least to your satisfaction. Again, not trying to be facetious...just trying to nudge you to push beyond the "normal", and hopefully find a good, satisfying alternative to the proprietary silos (like facebook, twitter, etc.).
Sadly this show won't happen, imo.

If it would try to be a realistic show it would scare to many people in the first place. A lot of very inconvenient questions about our near future would have to be asked in such a show. (Robots & AI are our "replicators"…)

On the other hand if it wouldn't go into detail there wouldn't be much of an interesting story left to be told.

So, scary intellectual stuff doesn't sell well. Also I don't think one could make a "simple enough" show for the masses dealing with such a complicated theme like a global social transformation. Especially as the masses are in great fear of such a transformation. (Rightly, because we're not on Star Trek and we don't know the outcome yet. Somebody could get nervous in such a transformation process and out of worry of losing to much push some red button, or similar).

If you're a library, creating threads causes side effects for the host program, and doing async when called doesn't. For instance, in a single-threaded program, it's always safe to call malloc() after fork(). In a multi-threaded program, another thread might have called malloc() and picked up a global lock; since only the thread that called fork gets copied (since you don't want to do the other threads' work twice!), there's now a copy of that global lock being held by a thread that doesn't exist, so calling malloc() will deadlock.

My personal interest in Rust is as a C replacement, including as a replacement for existing libraries that are written in C. While I agree threads can be very efficient (after all, the kernel implements threading by being async itself, more or less), they're annoying for this use case.
Python uses * * , but that is ambigous with

You need to think about WHY this situation happens. I'm willing to believe grouped negotiations can bring value to a class of workers but it's a partial remedy to a bad situation.

but when you're graduating out of university with a fat debt

Paying expensive university could be a really bad decision, especially in markets like game industry / software dev, which doesn't require by law that you pass some exams. Funnily, once you create huge syndicates / unions for the game industry or software dev, maybe you'll see these kind of "protection" to emerge
Compilers deciding to elide code paths that contain undefined behavior is weird, especially when it chooses to silently elide your checks for division by zero or overflow. It's not weird that actually dividing by zero can do anything; it's weird that by having a possible division by zero can allow the compiler to decide that (divisor==0) is false and ignore it.
> Which democracy are we talking about? China? The US?

You made an equivalency without explicitly stating that they were the same or equivalent. The equivalency you made was that both China and the US could be mistaken for democracies, when in truth only the US could be mistaken for a democracy (since it is a representative democracy). China is well known to practice authoritarian rule by law through Communist Party of China and so it reasonably wouldn't be confused as a democracy.

"The statements that make people mad are the ones they worry might be believed."

At present, the idea that California might be returned to Mexico or that all non-native-Americans might be kicked out of America is sufficiently ridiculous that nobody will take you seriously. Thus, there's no reason to get offended. You can say whatever you want, you're just a nutcase.

That China gets mad whenever you suggest that Tibet become its own country or when you mention Tiananmen Square indicates that it worries its citizens might actually take you seriously...

From what I've discussed with a lot of small businesses in France, workers-friendly laws are not an obstacle at all and unlike what you can see in the news, it plays almost no part in hiring (the laws are actually very reasonable and it all makes sense). The main obstacle is by far the high taxes.
If you think it’s an appeal to emotion, make a real argument in that direction, don’t bluntly state the contents of your head and move on. As it stands, you just appear morally bankrupt. I’m strongly inclined to believe that’s the case, and your inability to make a cogent argument makes me wonder about what else you’re lacking.

By the way, you may be misunderstanding “appeal to emotion” as “having emotions” and that’s worrying. I can only hope your attitude is literally pathological, and not just your personality. Either way, please never work near people, or I’m a critical system effecting people.
When you're healthy (physical, mental, what have you), there's no dependents to worry about, no worries about personal safety at night, and a reasonable ability to walk into an average retail store and pick up a job ... that's one thing. Unfortunately a great deal of homeless folks don't fit into that very narrow criteria (much narrower than I expect most folks to realize), and so it's a metaphorical nightmare of a gun-in-the-head to take. Sometimes literally.

My father was 'Rookie of the Year' in 1988 for Marriott hotels. He got to take my mother to an actual grand ball at the time for their ceremonies, crystal chandelier and all. He was only a cook at the time but an exceptionally hard worker who really stood out. He worked two jobs at the time. One being at Marriott hotels, and the other cleaning a whole Kroger's floor by himself. 20 something thousand square feet, swept, mopped, buffed, and shined single-handed after a full shift at Marriott. For some reason this story stood out to me. The world these days is sometimes too connected for its own good that it forgets to relate to the individual.

> I think if you want to have a classical non-dying civilization as is known from history, you have to restrict sexuality and force desirable men to keep a single wife and vice versa.

If we're talking about what's known from history, this is total nonsense. Polygamy was permitted in China into the 20th century. China was the best place in the world by a whole host of metrics up to about the 17th century. It is still known now for the cultural stability it's displayed for the past couple millennia.

A lot of young people in France are on short-term contracts, precisely because long-term employees are hard to fire.

Imagine that you are a startup in France, with long-term employees, and suddenly you realize you screwed up, and you have to cut your expenses in half. Today, that means your startup is dead and all employees are screwed, but in the US, your startup continues with a much lower valuation. Which is better for the worker? There is no right answer, but in France, there's a startup-killing answer.

It's worth pointing out that the "Nordic Model" used in Sweden is indeed harsh, but only for pimps and buyers.

Prostitutes themselves are not punished with a criminal record like they are in the US. Instead they are offered support to exit. Which makes sense if you really want them to to leave that industry. Legit jobs are hard to find with a record, so it's no wonder people who get arrested for crimes like prostitution and drug dealing often end up in the same situation after getting arrested.
