> We can't coast forever.

Funny you should mention that. Keeping Australians 'Relaxed and Comfortable' was John Howard's election pitch from a famous interview in 1996 and that legacy of "keep coasting, don't rock the boat why take a risk..." Has pretty much defined politics in this country ever since.
There are downsides to MDMA. Been through the advertised open and connected experience with a group of decade old friends, came out the other side feeling depressed that you can buy love in a pill and that my normal self would not get to those conversations normally. It feels inauthentic to observe people I have known for decades behave very differently to how I know them and would probably not have accessed that experience without a pill. Buying love in a pill robs the story of what it took to get to love normally. It stops being real, and starts being a side effect of a drug.
the assumption that we are assassinating leaders is based entirely on the claim by the US government, shown to be false many times, that they are leaders.

Well, as others mention, you capture profits from automation when you automate your own job and don't tell people, so you only make your own life easier.

Of course, I'm sure there are people who did that and then lost their job when their boss discovered they didn't do much of anything any more.
Much harder is a bit of a stretch IMO.

There’s more potential complexity if you want to do complex things and maybe 3D is hard (I’ve never done it) but the basics are about as straightforward.

From the Wikipedia link on the American YouTuber:

Bilal Abdul Kareem (born Darrell Lamont Phelps) is an American journalist and war correspondent covering the Syrian Civil War.[1][2][3] He has worked with CNN,[4] and produces the YouTube channel On the Ground News TV (OGN TV).[2] He believes that he has been placed on the U.S. kill list.[5][6][7][8] He claims to have survived five drone assassination attempts by the U.S. military, which killed random civilians that were present nearby, including two attacks on vehicles he was traveling in, including one where the car he was sitting in was blown up by a missile shot from a drone.[9][10]

Cloud bandwidth costs are a rip off. For this particular situation though, make sure to replicate your files across multiple buckets, one in each GCP zone, otherwise you incur the cross zone transfer costs. We do something similar to serve julia downloads, because it turns out that most downloads are from people running on the cloud (so we basically replicate our binaries to every cloud provider and then to every region for that cloud provider). Everything else then goes through fastly for us (we also use fastly to serve custom redirects if your request comes from one of aforementioned cloud providers). That works pretty well. You do have to monitor it though to make sure that load doesn't suddenly shift to a cloud provider you didn't account for. For example, after GitHub actions became widely used, we suddenly started seeing TB/day traffic from Azure, which we hadn't deployed any caches to, so our bandwidth utilization on Fastly shot through the roof. (Side note: Shout out to fastly for hosting our binaries for free!). Without the cloud provider caching setup, we'd probably be at similar $/day costs, but this way it's basically free (even without the free fastly service, we'd only be at ~$1000/month or so).
OVH has unmetered (i.e. effectively unlimited) bandwidth and is well-established - enough that they have their own gTLD, at least. I often recommend them for situations like these where 1TB/month/instance may not be enough.
This is the third time I have seen this suggested. Maybe get in touch, and try to suggest that. I am also in a tight schedule these days and it would be easier to help with money.
> using things like the c# dynamic type everywhere

I'm curious as to where you have observed this, because my experience has been exactly the opposite: even in circumstances where "dynamic" might lead to more readable code, C# developers are loathe to use it, to the point where it's very hard to find it in idiomatic C# code.

Also, if C++ is only used in the library implementation... you wouldn't even need Objective-C++ unless you needed to add Objective-C API calls to the library's own source files. Otherwise, you could just compile the library's source files as regular C++, and link them together with your Objective-C code. This works exactly the same way as combining C and C++, and Xcode (the IDE) has no issue with it. So it seems very likely that the developer was misinformed.

American local government is unlike any other system I know. The most insane thing is police departments - each County has a completely independent police department, within a county each city will have their own police department, even many universities have police department of their own! Within ten miles of my house I think there are 8 police jurisdictions. Besides the silly amount of overhead introduced by having tiny "cities" with police departments making up several percent of their population (https://www.nj.com/news/2017/12/new_jersey_smallest_towns_wi...) this introduces obvious difficulties of coordination and communication - a few years ago there was a serial rapist who spread his crimes over multiple police jurisdictions so nobody identified the pattern until, by complete coincidence, a husband and wife who worked in different police departments talked to each other about a case she was working on. https://www.denverpost.com/2019/09/17/netflix-unbelievable-c...

The $10K/day was actually coming from the large egress fees they were getting for transferring the models and agents from Google Cloud Storage to the Colab notebooks.
I think if you were to serve the game as a web app you definitely wouldn't need one instance of a 12 GB GPU for each user. But the thing about Colab is that you need a Google account to use it, and you run your own notebook, independent from the author's account.

Those "bad" managers are correctly following their incentives:

- More headcount is always better for the manager's prestige and career prospects, as long as those people contribute to project success at least a little bit (and most low performers do, just less than you'd hope). Managing infinitely many people each producing epsilon above breakeven is much better than having 1 rockstar.

- Headcount availability ebbs and flows with the business cycle. It's important to take everything you can while the money is flowing in case you might need it during a contraction. It's important to have nonessential staff on hand during a contraction so you can satisfy your X% cut requirement without compromising effectiveness too badly.

- As a manager of a high-performing division at a growing company, you will be given an integer multiple of your current headcount, and expected to deliver proportional results with it. If your strategy was "employ only high performers" you will fail, someone will be brought in immediately above or immediately below you to "help out," and within six months you'll be "spending more time with your family."

- The hiring process is hard to mess with. Recruiters put your ICs onto the panels directly; systematically leaning on them to change their votes will probably get the ethics hotline involved. But the decision to retain year over year is entirely yours.
Ok, ok, let me see if I now got this right: The AI needs a VM (because users rarely have 12GB GPUs at home), and this VM then downloads about 6GB from GitHub each time a user opens up a new session instead of sourcing that from a locally cached copy?

EDIT: Almost, the VM runs on Colab, which only works with Google, and Google's charging for the upload to Colab? ...more like collaborator, amirite? dodges rotten eggs

There is absolutely nothing about private enterprise that enabled deficit spending or confidence in US’s future. The War Department collaborated very closely to retool existing industries and also help create entirely new ones by sharing technology and designs with the private contractors; it could have simply nationalized them and there would literally be 0 change in confidence in US treasury bonds. Fundamentally, the distinction on how you choose to organize your means of production doesn’t really matter all that much, and certainly doesn’t matter as much as you seem to believe.

My view is pretty much entirely opposite of yours. The biggest problem I see with developers are developers who struggle to keep up because they don't know how to quickly navigate a code-base to understand the big picture, and end up bogged down reading way more than they need. Outside of languages designed to be read, lacking the ability to work by seeing structure is massively debilitating.

Meanwhile, I rarely if ever see people "reading code by looking at its shape", because recognizing code by shape doesn't tend to be something less experienced developers are any good at; if anything, caring about shape comes from caring about detail and wanting the detail to stand out. You need to be good at carefully reading code to be good at recognizing which aspect of the code matters and should stand out to be good at using code structure and shape as a tool to communicate.
There is a perpetual tension in Wikipedia between being a good, succinct overview to X subject matter versus being a repository for information that X subject matter experts would like to see. Editorial policy on WP errs toward the former, and is quite hostile to the latter, preferring that information especially useful primarily to subject-matter experts be located on dedicated subject-matter wikis hosted by other orgs.

Perhaps there is a need for a wiki-based encyclopedia that allows in-depth articles and information by experts, but WP has decided that it is not it.

Another way to look at it, is that your productivity equals your salary, i.e., marginal value added per unit of factor input. You work the same number of hours or years. You receive the same money. So your productivity is the same.

For the employer, the productivity of their capital investment has increased.

You might be able to increase your productivity if you can leverage a salary increase, or figure out how to sell the automation to your employer for more than your salary, or sell it to others.

Under one of two circumstances:

1. The old traits provide protection against a problem that modern bacteria no longer encounter. As such, when changes to the genome interfere with those old protections, no problem occurs and the old protections are lost to genomic bit rot. (If a colony of Tibetans moved into India, over the long term their high-altitude adaptations would deteriorate under a lack of pressure to maintain themselves.)

2. Alcohol resistance is so valuable that +1 alcohol resistance makes up for -3 traditional resistance. This is the sickle-cell anemia model.

There is no conservation law holding constant the total amount of "protection" your genome provides you. If bacteria are adapted to defend themselves against certain risks, and you add a risk of alcohol exposure without removing the other risks, what you'll get are bacteria that (1) resist all the old risks (like the old bacteria did), and (2) also resist alcohol exposure.
This makes me feel weird about the problem. It’s one thing when a very small minority takes control of an open projects. But when it’s simply a reflection of larger social dysfunction ... what then?

You can’t expect an open project to be healthier than the culture that fosters it.

You either restrict it, shut it down, or live with the dysfunction. Or, if you have the time and resource, create tons of red tape and the illusion of openness (i.e. Reddit).

I feel like there's another way forward against these pathogens which is to strengthen our own bacteria (on-skin or elsewhere). Not just the immune system.

A single human is basically a cooperating community of many different critters. Even the thing we call "human" that is tied to the DNA is formed by cells that are made of little cooperating communities.

I'm not so much just talking about the immune system here in isolation. All the other parts. At least remove what makes them "less effective with dealing with pathogen damage and their miscellaneous shenanigans". I'm assuming that not everything that pathogens do is cause direct and immediate damage. I'm willing to guess they start out by stealing resources or making things less effective.

Am I on right track here or is this just gibberish?
Right. Roughly my concern. In the immediate, not killing civilians is great.

In the longer run, being able to take out who you want without killing innocents modifies the moral calculus. You don't have to justify the turpitude of your target against the lives of innocent bystanders.

So eventually the question approaches: how do you hold steadfast moral red-lines regarding the use of such weapons as PR costs and blowback approach zero?
I don't think this would work without air.
Nothing in the paragraph indicates it’s shared. Also: it might be shared in the implementation but you will still be billed for every single https LB that you use (or an NLB if you’re doing tcp load balancing).

Every unique kubernetes ingress resource WILL spin up a NEW, uniquely billed Https LB. Every unique kubernetes service with specific annotations will spin up a NEW, unique LB (internal or external). The author is correct.
