> The ecosystem is moving

It has been "moving" from the times of Compuserve and AOL trying to prevent e-mail federation. Good thing they failed then! Kudos to Matrix for pushing against such movement in IMs. Someone has to push against it, instead of looking for excuses to proliferate walled gardens.

> If users don’t trust their app provider, they can always go switch apps, which gives them freedom.

Sounds like Moxie meant it's a downside. It's a huge benefit! Forcing one to use something that's not trusted is horrendous.
I think humans naturally enjoy storytelling. So they tell stories on their blogs.
The network should just learn that they all have symmetry and only encode the unique information. Once you start hand-coding priors like this, where do you stop? Maybe also constrain the range of colors? Size? Other geometric features? Eventually you're just doing old fashioned programming, not ML. And since generating beetle images isn't really the important goal anyway, why would you use dirty tricks to achieve it?
I want to hire someone that needs sponsorship and will consult an attorney. If anyone has tips to increase my chances I'd love to hear it.

i think we need to mention that the experiment failed and was not implemented.
If people are equally productive in less time, pay should stay the same for amount of work completed or contribution delivered, not hours worked.
See my other comment. It matters if the goal is to institute, at a national level, people working less in absolute terms, I could be wrong that that's the goal, but if it is my point is that for that to work, you need have a more dominating state than what exists, in say, the US.

I guarantee you that if you fly from NYC to Miami, you will not be asked for your passport after TSA checks. You can freely travel between the states.

They look perfectly fine to me. What did you find troubling?

The only mess described thus far is in the REPL/Playgrounds for the language, which are not themselves "Swift".
Kinesis is very expensive in the long run. There's almost always an intersection point on AWS where you need to consider moving away from AWS services/"managed services" and bring it in house.
Are the PokeStop locations random? I would have expected to Niantic block certain locations, like government property.

You're letting your true colors show here by getting all bothered by the term socialism. It's a form of government, nothing more nothing less. I didn't say anything about how I felt about socialism, nor did I say anything to suggest there not be age limits for labor. What an absurd straw man.

I stand by my original point that if the goal of such proposals is to reduce total time spent working in absolute terms that the success of such proposals depends greatly on the form of government that exists in the country it's being proposed.
As a lower-tech method I would try just setting up a super low TX power/RX gain on a spoofed access point (same SSID, credentials, MAC, etc.) on my ALFA USB adapter and wave it around as an RF scanning device watching for connected clients. Not sure if it would work as I'm not sure I could get it to be sensitive enough, but I bet you could at least get a rough idea of where the device was without too much trouble...
Thanks for clarifying. I will put that site on my personal "do not trust" list.

the experiment failed and was not continued.

and unfortunately they fail because of costs and a globalised world.

for example china's 996 model would eat europe whole if this ever got implemented over there.
Of those, Norway probably has the strongest social programs. It also has the lowest population by a lot.
To those that aren't sure: 50mph is around 80kph.

And yeah, that's gonna be a pretty standard speed limit, though some with 90-100kph are out there. Unless you meant 50kph... and in that case, it is low.
Agreed. One of the things that fascinates me about technology is how the new thing is always treated as magic. I'm hoping we're almost out of that phase for ML, as the hype is exhausting.

And for the curious, a good example of this is radium. For a while it was a miracle cure-all, put in everything from lipstick to jock straps. That did not work out well: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/03/how-we-re...
Is the source/model/network available to run?
Honestly, I want a 30 hour work week so I can work 10 hours a week on my own stuff, volunteer work, or both. Some weeks (months) I'd do nothing. Others I'd work 20 hours. I think I'd be happier making 80% (75% + lower taxes) of what I make now as long as I have health insurance.

That said, I could totally see such a thing being labelled as another phase in the war on the middle class, where a lot of so-called middle class people are working two 3/4 jobs to maintain their standard of living.
I would consider myself a bit addicted but I don't use any social media unless you consider semi-anonymous (hn?) forums to be a kind of social media. I noticed I am addicted to mostly reading short posts and replies. If I don't, it tends to put me at unrest unless I am engaging in some other activity. I think it sort of acts as a stimulant.

I prefer to be anonymous and interact with different people everytime otherwise it is unsettling so opposite of what social media rewards.
They did build some valuable tech, no question there, but be sure to account for the typical startup hyperbole. By the time you can get your hands on this (if that ever happens), the hyperbole will converge a bit closer to reality, the tradeoffs will become apparent, etc, and you'll discover that it is not, in fact, going to "smash" barriers of any kind in any practical sense.

From TFA: "Cerebras hasn’t released MLPerf results or any other independently verifiable apples-to-apples comparisons."

That's all you really need to know.

I think you just affirmed their point. You're acknowledging they only call when they have even the slightest doubt. They're saying that is exactly the problem, because they won't call when they have no doubt that everything is normal.
I'm hoping it went supernova sometime around 1320 CE to 1370 CE.

well the empty set is itself immutable, so depending on the code base the new HashSet(0) was less code.

I think you would need to go back a little farther than the '80s. The Apple IIe made playing Oregon Trail approximately as easy as inserting the floppy disk. You could also play Microsoft Flight Simulator without much work on your 386 running MS-DOS.
EliottM is right, the delta in land and population between the city and county is significant. Over 900K people in the county and 241 square miles compared to 96 square miles in the city.
What I found funny about watching that is that the 2014 version is exactly how I remembered the 1991 version. Memory smoothed it all out I suppose.
Well, one could get unsuspecting users to take pictures around all kinds of facilities and such. Consider too that if you have multiple databases of this sort, you can draw a lot of inferences based on who is usually around whom.
>You only feel dumb until you understand it.
Perhaps not socialism, but you need a much more domineering state IF the goal is for people to work less. I'm suggesting that in the US the work culture is very intense and competitive and people will use the time freed up to do more work. My bet is that total numbers worked will not go down as a result of something like this if it were instituted in the US. I could be wrong...
One frustrating thing about Moxie's original post is that Signal derives huge amounts of value by piggybacking on an existing distributed federated network: the phone system. If phone numbers weren't an existing working identifiers that people had regardless of what OS, carrier, or messaging app, Signal as designed wouldn't work.

People should think harder about how to replicate that experience, instead of how to appropriate it and then abandon it.

Hi. I easily googled "two-part greeting". Now I know it's about the greeting at the drive thru in McDonalds when you want two McDoubles.

Wait. No. That can't be it. It's about two critiques in drive thru greetings.

Wait. No. That seems irrelevant as well. It's a Yuletide thing? Answering the phone?

Wait. It's not easily googled. It's an obscure term of art apparently.
That's not true. Under London Breed, San Francisco has accelerated the rollout of safe bike lanes using the "quick build" program (https://www.sfmta.com/vision-zero-quick-build-projects). Ask any cyclist in SF - in the past 18 months the number of dedicated, curb or parking separated bike lanes, bulbouts, signals, and other bike infrastructure has jumped. There are still tons of problem areas (try biking from Bayview to the Mission) but London Breed's administration has already built more cycling infra than Ed Lee's ever did.
Every unmoderated forum looks roughly like Blind or worse, so you can't draw any conclusions from it except that such people exists in tech as well.
I have real difficulty seeing how such a system would work in practice?
Don't forget The Last Answer! These are possibly my two favorite sci fi short stories:

https://highexistence.com/the-last-answer-short-story/

There is another story I like about a planet of high-IQ beings noticing patterns in stars blinking (like binary) and going into suspended animation to observe the data over extended periods of years, but I can't remember the name of it or the author.
Biggest pain points with Kinesis:

- ordering is really hard, you don't get guaranted ordering unless you write one message at a time or do a lot of complexity on writes (see https://brandur.org/kinesis-order) and the shards are simply too small for many of our ordered use cases

- cost, we just don't send some data right now because it would just be too much relative to the utility of the data (we would need like 250 shards)

- retention, long term, we want to store data in Pulsar with up to unlimited retention so we can rebuild views. There is still some complexity there (like getting parallel access to segments in a topic for batch processing) but it is much further along than any other options

- client APIs for consumer. We are a polyglot shop and really the only language where consuming Kinesis isn't terrible is Java (and other jvm languages). For every other language, we use lambda and while lambda is great it is still distinct deploy and management process from the rest of the app. Being able to deploy a simple consumer just as part of the app is really nice
I'm not sure how "usual" your version is. In the US, tax cuts on the rich have been the norm for most of my adult life, often fairly obvious. So points 1 and 2 of your list dont match.

I'm not saying your scenario is invalid or unlikely, but it's not the one I've been part of.
Driving isn't as convenient in the cities - Trondheim, at least, is very walkable. There is a tunnel under the city for quicker driving, though, and it sure is faster than the bus or walking of you are going across town. It is going to be faster in electric cars since they can use different traffic routes.

The speed limits are low, but you get used to that.

Basically they are exploiting the bird’s instinct to return home. It’s like pigeon Hansel and Gretel roulette.

They get exhausted if they can’t make it back home and many die. [..] Pigeons can mate for life, and both the cock and the hen take turns sitting on the nest and feeding the hatchlings. Young homers are weaned and housed together at about six weeks old. After a few days of acclimation, a door in their pen is opened, and the birds begin to fly outside the loft but stick close to it. They’ll flock together, flying big circles, until the day comes that they stay aloft for an hour. That’s the signal, says Morse, that it’s time for road training. The birds are taken five miles away from the loft and released. “That first time, they make about thirty huge circles, figuring out where home is. But they do figure it out.”

Morse will do five days at five miles, then two days of loft flying, a kind of weekend of rest at home. The next week, it’s ten miles. When the birds start arriving home before him, it’s time to stretch out their mileage—twenty miles, then forty, sixty, and so on, until they successfully do one hundred miles three times before their first race. The longer flights build endurance, but it’s the early flights that reinforce the notion of home and the bird’s ability to get there. In a race, you want a pigeon to break fast and sure instead of wasting time circling or succumbing to the flock instinct and following other birds. “People get in a hurry for training distance, which is a mistake,” says Morse. “The five- and ten-mile trips are imperative. That gets them confident.” [..]
Ah you probably told me before.
Most productive time of my life I worked 3x13s each week covering the weekends for a 24/7 team, and had 4 days a week to myself. I was able to do so much in my life, improve my skills and really be more productive at work and a better person just from having the free time to explore. I don't know that working more/less hours each day has ever really mattered to me, but working less days per week can be life changing in a very positive way. It'd be great if we could all do 4x10 or 3x13s.

Well, as someone built very similarly to a pig, that is distressing news.

This is why I don't save 100% of my money for retirement. It's good to live while being alive.
For 4 hour experiments, it sounds like a reasonable strategy; but what happens are your requirements become increasingly complex? Is "Low Code" going to work, for example, if you want to implement A/B tests? Possibly one day.
Condolences!

As for web development, JS has been async since day 1. For a little while Opera was multithreading it, but that was really hard to program on, because they didn't even offer locks. And Perl was not normally multithreaded, but before POE it wasn't async either, but rather multiprocess. msql was async, as was FastCGI, originally. So I'm not sure I agree even within the scope of webdev history. Maybe you got started late when lots of people were already using Java?
The future of these interconnects is to make them optical. Once the interconnects are optical lots of problems get solved. Chips don’t have to be in same enclosure, simplifying cooking etc.
It is simply an observation. There was apparently no overlapping term from say, network engineering, or dramaturgy, to confuse the search. Contrast with "Go (programming language) - Wikipedia" which led to the invention of "golang" as a keyword so that programmers could search out programming articles for that language efficiently.

BTW I did enjoy reading the article I found on "two-part greeting." [1]

Sadly, this happened to my father last year, and they were successful charging his debit card $300. He did not give them his PIN, which they requested (he couldn't remember it). I called Wells Fargo and they were great about just nuking the charge. Had to get a new card, of course, and I immediately made him stop using a PC. I got him a iPad mini, which hopefully helps with those fake "you have a virus" alerts.
When I visit relatives in the hospital there is no one stopping/verifying/questioning me. At all. No checks, no questions, nothing. If you act like you know where you are going no one worries enough to stop you. It has left me feeling concerned each time, especially when it is a younger relative in the hospital.
I am sure that implémentation helps, but likely a big part is norwegians on average are far better educated.
It seems he is.
Some cities are really good at putting in sidewalks if it is a residential area. Others don't bother putting them in neighborhoods at all.

A much bigger issue is that you can't generally get to a store, across town, or to work on sidewalks.
