I think you're getting the sentiment mixed up.
People aren't sacrificing their own wellbeing in order to increase their company's, but rather, they find the work they do personally sayisfying and rewarding.

For instance, I enjoy my job, I don't dread Mondays. I like my coworkers and the work atmosphere, I enjoy creating tangible value and I find the success of my work projects intrinsically satisfies me.
But at the same time, I don't work weekends, I don't work outside my ~40 hours, and I don't sacrifice my wellbeing for my job.
So I work hard because of the personal satisfaction, I don't do it to make already rich people even richer.
I don't know how it is for others, but personally if I didn't get some level of internal satisfaction and motivation from how I spent the working time of the best years of my life I would be quite depressed.
Small world, yeah it was you :).
Interesting article, but I'm slightly puzzled by the [sic] comments following many of the quotes. The use of English looks correct for the time.
Internet is out of control by citizens. The web was such a democratic space but browsers narrow that space down because they are centralized products. DRM-enabled only (if ever comes) will kill the web.
One reason might be that the tools have telemetry (i.e., automatically gathering and sending data about your system and your use of it to Microsoft) enabled by default[1], which is unexpected and off-putting to people in the free software world. It seems to reflect a very different attitude to some fundamental cultural values.

According to the comments on the issue tracker, it was supposed to be OK because it was anonymized – but oops, there was a bug, so it wasn't totally anonymized. But it's OK because you can disable it if you happen to know about it – but oops, the disabling mechanism had a bug.

Things that are important to many free software users are not important to Microsoft. I was excited about .NET Core until I became aware of this stark misalignment of goals and priorities.

I try to take inspiration from this article: https://fs.blog/2018/06/succeed-at-work/

I think a 15-minute resolution is more reasonable than a 10-minute resolution. If you assume that you allocate each block to a unique activity that means doing six different things per hour instead of doing only four things in the same timeframe.

There's nothing stopping you from using four blocks in a row for an activity, or two, or three, but the minimum amount of time to spend on something is 15 minutes which I think is more worthwhile than 10 minutes.

The only downside is it doesn't let you do two pomodoro blocks per hour, if that's something you want to incorporate into your routine.
Also the US antagonized the Soviet Union but ultimately it fell by itself.

Remains to be seen what will happen in the Chinese case.
It's a question of path dependency. A least-cost grid with 80% less GHG emissions than current will likely be, depending on the location, lots of wind and solar, improved transmission, a little bit of batteries and demand response, and then NG backup.

For a deep decarbonized grid (95%+ less emissions), the least-cost will OTOH likely involve a rather high fraction of nuclear, plus a somewhat smaller fraction of the aforementioned wind, solar, transmission, demand response, batteries on top.

Dealing with climate change requires a deep decarbonized grid. So while most grids can take a lot more wind and solar than currently, if we overbuild those sources we can get locked into higher emissions long-term.

Chinese workers aren't poorly educated as such, even if those still exist of course. Contrary to popular belief what make China succeed in manufacturing is ample supply of semi-skilled workers. A lot of Chinese factories aren't that sophisticated overall. In a smaller factories equipment might be domestic Chinese or second hand Japanese/Korean equipment. Every few days, or even multiple times an hour, the machines needs help or maintenance. A light will go red and a machine operator will come an poke it for a bit until it works again. Poking a machine a bit is like a revered hobby in the west, if not a $100k job. And you can barely buy a screw retail. All so the rich can get richer through rents.
I quit all personal social media years and years ago. I use a ton of email and text and am deeply involved in several real world communities and hobbies. I do have a LinkedIn I mainly ignore, just because it helps when searching for jobs.

If a person doesn’t have real world interests or networks, I think they should take lessons or classes in things they like from people they respect and see what happens organically over a year or so. They can reintroduce their hobby’s tech stack into their life as needed. For instance, I still watch a lot of YouTube (without an account) and read a lot of non-Reddit forums, like this one, because they help me learn things.

Not having social media is rarely an issue for planning and staying in touch with people and I rarely get asked about it. I still waste lots of digital time but I do it in ways I find more amusing than toxic.

I would argue that the hierarchy of loyalties discussed at the end of the article (Family, Community, Mankind, Life) comes from our positions in the Tree of Life produced by the Genetic Algorithm. We protect and grow our branches, starting locally. Hence racism. There is also a strong geographic component.

It's interesting to look back through history when communities who were perpetually at war ally to fight a greater external threat, only to fall back to civil war when jousting for regional dominance.

Peace is the real art, but can only be achieved when no-one has any just cause to overthrow the system. One that enforces a collection of fair laws that all can agree on.

The evolution of our legal systems through the ages is one of our greatest accomplishments. A community answer to the question "What is fair?"

Distributed Systems: Brief(Humorous) Introduction
TAOUP had a chapter "a tale of 5 editors" discussing emacs, vi, and more, and does point out emacs is an outlier (and outsider) to many unix principles. It does quote Doug McIlroy speaking against it (but also against vi?).
It attempts to generalize from discussing "The Right Size for an Editor" question to discussing how to think about "The Right Size of Software".

I don't know if it's possible to have impartially "fair" discussion of editors. Skimming now, I can see how vi lovers would hate some characterizations there. But it does try to learn interesting lessons from them.

It does NOT simply equate "Emacs has UNIX nature" so you can't just prove something like "TAOUP mentions Emacs, Emacs is GNU, Gnu is Not Unix => TAOUP is not UNIX, QED" ;-)

http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ch13s02.html

bias disclaimers: I learnt most of what I know of unix from within Emacs, which I still use ~20 years later. I learnt more from Info pages than man pages (AIX had pretty bad man pages). I suspect you have a different picture of unix than I. And I now know better than arguing which editor is better ;)

But I found TAOUP articulated ideas I only learnt through osmosis. I'm looking forward to reading a better articulation if you know one.
I think it might make interop harder.

I think what is really meant is science literacy. You need some sort of context to be able to understand the meaning of resistance, polarity, serial vs. parallel etc. It isn't that hard of course, but when there is maybe a hundred different things you can't purely memorize them all and expect to be efficient, especially not when things change.

That said, basic physics in bloody useful as well. I was always a shitty student, but I am constantly surprised people can't even figure out that they need to use physics to know certain things. In contrast with things like economics, physics is actually quite forgiving for the layperson when it comes to casual discussions about e.g. transportation.

It sounds like that would be a very trivial way to reveal their identity. Get locked up for something minor but now the agent has to go through booking and post bail. I don't think the local police would look too kindly on someone providing a false name either.
My aunt (about 65) recently retired and she kept being active: she goes to yoga classes, hydrogymnastics, classes where they do memory exercises/games, and she helps my cousin with his car-rental business.

This is awesome, but part of it is enabled by her being relatively high class. These kinds of things should be sponsored by the government because they keep people healthy.

I remember reading somewhere that mortality risk increases considerably after retirement, plausibly because people become more sedentary.

> Not aware of any bans or unaffordability issues there

Well, crude oil prices went from $35 -> $70 around 2005 and have generally been floating around there since, with short periods of time (a year or two) where they drop down [0], coal did something similar from $50 -> $80 [1]. In the US, coal use for electricity immediately started dropping off, and Natural Gas has been replacing capacity [2]. There was a 5 year period where gas (ie, car fuel) prices were just out of control, and a long period of time where they were just high.

Most of the US's energy is sourced from petroleum and coal [3, 4]. I'd say there is some evidence here that the drop in per capita use was more due to the price rising by a very large margin than some sort of efficiency gain, and the EIA article you reference is, in my view, somewhat optimistic if they think that sort of price movement doesn't cause people to change their lifestyles. This all times in roughly with when per capita energy use started to level off then fall. I'd suggest that although cheap natural gas has absorbed some of the shock, there is evidence of cost pressure if you care to look.

TF does have stuff which is still lacking in pytorch: for example complex numbers support, better sparse matrix support. The new distributed api is much more functional than pytorch one, allowing different levels of control, and not only high level. Surely there are more examples outside of my usecases. So yeah, pytorch is default, but if I need feature which is lacking there, I switch back to tf

Well, he sounds like a sociopath.
It's generally considered the right move to just spawn your own thread for things like connections instead of pooling threads - people tend to think they should throw everything into a threadpool but it's not actually encouraged to do that for stuff like web server connections, compiles, etc unless the task is short-lived. I wish more people knew that going in :) Some threadpool APIs actually ask you whether the job is going to take a while and if it is, they function more as a job limiter - not 500 active threads all competing for CPU - than a thread reuser.
> if an Indian becomes a manager, soon all his department becomes Indians

This exact phenomenon plays out in India as well at a more granular level and across all job families and public/private sector companies. The more you zoom in more granular it gets.

E.g., South Indian manager prefers South Indian reportees, a manager in Karnataka prefers someone from his caste, and so on.

I wonder if it's an Asian specific phenomenon. Where family, regional, clans etc., affiliation trumps meritocracy. I've heard similar stories in Indonesia too where relatives or those from same islands are given preferential treatment by the bosses.

The modern in-game transactions remind me of simpler exploits from years ago: 900 number phone games.

Back in the 80s, children were bombarded with advertisement of phone based games using a 900 number prefix. 900 numbers are unique in that they charge a fee for use. A child who wanted to play the RoboCop phone game would simply pick up a phone and dial the number. Shortly after, they would get to press numbers on the keypad to choose their own adventures. The games were addictive and expensive. [1]

Eventually, enough parents were ripped off and they fought the system, convincing legislators and regulators to stop the exploitation. This put a complete stop to 900 number games.

This kind of thing weirds me out to be honest. I've had this kind of conversation with serious cyclists before where I've been told that it's impossible for cyclists to ride on the footpath in places because the uneven cement slabs would damage {some part of the bike I don't remember or care}. You're here telling me that a 2mm twist in part of the frame is a serious problem for attaching the rear wheel, and that it would be "unsafe" to have a skilled technician fix it (presumably by just twisting it back?).

What kind of piss-poor engineering is going into high end bikes? $400 bikes don't have this problem. I've legit thrown (albeit cautiously to make sure it doesn't bounce) my bike over a 1m drop on it's side several times and it's fine other than the kickstand being a little bent.

I'd never spend $1500+ on a bike that can't handle a 2mm deviation in the rear fork. Over the lifespan of the bike it's /definitely/ gonna have some part of it deviated by 2mm through normal wear and tear, so if that's gonna break it beyond safe repair then that's a pretty useless bike. Am I the crazy one here?
Demistifying Bitcoin Paper
Then consider posix_spawn(), since it pays that cost, but then we have to pay IPC as well:

fasthttp(go) can do around 80k/sec on my laptop; dash(C) can do almost 88k/sec on my laptop†. As soon as dash does IPC, it drops to around 51k/sec, and as soon as it needs a reply, we're down to 25k/sec††. I see no reason to believe fasthttp would do any faster.

That means I'm spending around 70% of my time in IPC -- something posix_spawn() would let me avoid (if my application were designed to do so). My same laptop will do 100k/sec posix_spawn() so I'd find this difficult to believe (1-4 msec per call) fork() or exec() is the bottleneck for any application with this architecture. Do you think posix_spawn() represents 70% of your costs? If our goal is to beat 51k/sec requests, sure, but NodeJS on my laptop (btw) gets 10k/sec, so if it's a contender, I'd say posix_spawn() is as well.

I disagree with the premise. The threat from AI, while serious, isn't immediate compared to the threat of using thing like AI to justify inequality. You want to tell me that suddenly the global elite became concerned about relatively esoteric technology to the point where common politicians talk about it like it is the tax rate? And that just happens go with with the effects of globalization, crony capitalism and extreme rent seeking? If the excuse wasn't AI it would be something else.

My parents do the same too, at least they join a what you called "university of the third age". The costs for all of this is not at all high and perfectly affordable to mid-lowclass citizens. My parents seem pretty amazed by what they can learn, especially because for them it did not work as easily as for us, who had an easy access to schools and public instruction. They are now taking the chance to learn things they never had time to learn before and keep their brain elastic with new notions. I am very proud of this mindset and proud that instruction can be accessed with very few barriers (at least in Italy).

My mom is also part of another "club" of people who give their time for free. This is a sort of knowledge exchange.
