I believe it was Russell and Norvig who said about current AI techniques that they are like a man trying to reach the moon by climbing a tree:
“One can report steady progress, all the way to the top of the tree.”
It's not a threat. It literally has to be mandatory since the decision will have large impacts on the current employees and the company. Employees need to know what they are voting on. It's not as simple as union good, company bad and you're being disingenuous painting it as such.
I hope it's an optional union. I'd be significantly more pro-union if employees could choose to leave the union whenever without having to leave the job.

IMO, part of the reason why unions are so controversial is that, once formed, they're hard to dismantle when run poorly. Fixing union problems requires that employees engage in a form of politics that no one should be forced to do just to have a good blue-collar job.

The advantages of unionized labor should be so good that enough employees will opt-in to keep the union powerful.
The whole implausible argument always struck me as lacking.

You accept the idea of an omniscient, omnipotent god, but then say they couldn’t possibly do anything supernatural because that would go against the science they created.

I don't see how code review is "modern development practices" (in a bad way). It's common sense.

An analogy would be lawyers. They don't represent family because they may overlook something they think is meaningless, but a "fresh pair of eyes" would say is very important. With code, it's the same way: your eyes are biased towards your own code which can cause you to miss a bug.

Obviously I look at the respective benefits packages when comparing multiple offers. But it's definitely not a norm to, when asked how much you're paid, include not only salary and fungible compensation but also your valuation of the benefits package. That'd be considered a lie (and, if you're e.g. applying for a mortgage, literal fraud).

The only reason the author does it here is because the actual salary would draw traction as a headline, and his organization paid good money to get this editorial presented in Forbes.

Unlike most wireless power ideas and concepts that are complete BS, I actually believe that powering a low power IoT sensor that would normally last a year or something on a battery might be possible by using ambient energy like this.
Is it? Waymo seems to be doing pretty well, it has the largest fleet of autonomous cars and from what i remember by far the most extensive testing program on real streets.
This looks more like an attempt to spread the R&D cost on lidar by selling to third parties. I guess as more and more companies sell their lidar solutions, it becomes more of a commodity and less a differentiation factor, like self-driving software for example.
Note that this is a sequencing result, so it will lack a lot of nonstandard RNA tricks that these companies are or might be using, like pseudouridines, or fluorobases. I think those would have to be disclosed in the patent.

There's one entire category of applications, which is going to drive disruption that's going to obsolete LIDAR. Namely military applications.

Active sensors aren't viable anymore for military applications outside of severely asymmetrical conflicts. Active sensors will advertise their position to seekers and guided ordinance. Passive sensors are going to be required for military autonomy, and military R&D will guarantee these will supplant active sensors like LIDAR.

Let's say that Tesla goes 100% pacifist, and declares that no Tesla technology, like Dojo, will ever be used for military purposes. Just the fact that Tesla FSD had solved computer vision and the fact that Dojo exists will guarantee that someone will replicate those things for military applications.

Active sensors could still become so cheap, however, that they will be used in applications where each unit must be very cheap and therefore can't have the onboard processing for full-blown autonomy AI and computer vision. LIDAR could then be used to reduce unit costs for those super low unit-cost applications. These LIDAR would be much smaller and much lower power than the LIDAR for autonomous cars.
"Naturalism" posits that natural laws are the only rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural world.

So "beyond the natural world" would be shorthand for alternatives to naturalism; the idea there are rules that govern the 'natural world' beyond natural laws or things that can be measured or observed scientifically.

The resurrection is a prime example of rules "beyond the natural" impacting our natural world.
tradeoffs. maybe that's part of the reason why Europe doesn't spawn companies like Amazon in the first place? and why Silicon Valley exists in the US.
No, it wouldn't. They could still host sessions outside of work, and make them truly voluntary. There is no particular reason Amazon must speak their message in their house, under threat of dismissal, except to coerce employees into listening.
Hey, that's me.

Wow Looks like it is analogous to having a header on a TCP packet. [0] Here is an animation of mRNA encoding translated to proteins inside a ribosome. [1]

"The ribosome is composed of one large and one small sub unit that assemble around the messenger RNA, which then passes through the ribosome like a computer tape. The amino acid building blocks, that's the small glowing red molecules, are carried into the ribosome attached to specific transfer RNAs; that's the larger green molecules also referred to as tRNA. The small sub unit of the ribosome positions the mRNA so that it can be read in groups of three letters known as a codon."

Very analogous indeed.

> Besos is more wealthy than a nurse because amazon engages in billions of transactions which are each productive.

Bezos is wealthy because he is a parasitic rentier capitalist. He's one of the major beneficiaries of the imperialist American intellectual property regime. That's it. That's the special sauce.

"Place Silicon Valley in its proper historical context and you see that, despite its mythology, it’s far from unique. Rather, it fits into a pattern of rapid technological change which has shaped recent centuries. In this case, advances in information technology have unleashed a wave of new capabilities. Just as the internal combustion engine and the growth of the railroads created Rockefeller, and the telecommunications boom created AT&T, this breakthrough enabled a few well-placed corporations to reap the rewards. By capitalising on network effects, early mover advantage, and near-zero marginal costs of production, they have positioned themselves as gateways to information, giving them the power to extract rent from every transaction.

Undergirding this state of affairs is a set of intellectual property rights explicitly designed to favour corporations. This system — the flip side of globalisation — is propagated by various trade agreements and global institutions at the behest of the nation states who benefit from it the most. It’s no accident that Silicon Valley is a uniquely American phenomenon; not only does it owe its success to the United States’ exceptionally high defence spending — the source of its research funding and foundational technological breakthroughs — that very military might is itself what implicitly secures the intellectual property regime."

I wonder what the resource usage of giving everyone a diet of something like soylent for most meals. I have found the Australian clone of it to be perfectly tolerable and cheaper. Especially if you think about it as saving money so you can go get something nicer at a restaurant later.

Ok, but. Why.
Unfortunately this is an example of exactly what CederMills said above about failing to properly teach the faith. There is an incredible amount of meaning imbued into every moment of a Catholic mass, and the more of it you understand the more engaging it is to attend and participate.

Earlier this year I attended a 90 minute "walkthrough" of the mass where my priest explained the structure and meaning of a normal everyday mass. At the end of it he had still only scratched the surface, but it was probably more explanation than most (ex-)Catholics ever receive on the topic.
From a purely economic perspective, this is probably a good strategy even if they had a huge budget.

Each component should compete in the market place.

If there are better components out there, your divisions should be able to buy them instead of internally developed ones.

If a competitor can use your components better and build something better, they should etc.

If a competitor can provide better intermediate products using your components, buy them and incorporate them in your system.

You only have to be one of the best at one thing, and you should be the one of the best at a few things, and you could be one of the best at many things.

Ask HN: Best iPod Shuffle Alternative?
I own an ipod shuffle 4th generation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle) that still works fine. I love it. It works great, the buttons are responsive, the battery is good and, above all, the size if perfect. The only downside is its capacity: "only" 2 GB.
Now, 2 GB is a lot of music (for me) and for all these years it was enough... but somehow I need more space.

Do you know a good alternative to the ipod shuffle? I've been googling and there are a lot of chinese mp3 players, but I'm doubtful of their quality (when it comes to physical buttons or touch screens). I'm looking for this:

- small size. This is a must
- I don't mind if it doesn't have a touch screen
- at least 5 GB (sd card would be better)
- decent battery
- jack connector. Although I would love to use bluetooth, but I'm very skeptical of anything but Apple when it comes to bluetooth
- clip to hang. Optional
- plug and play. I don't want to install any extra software to transfer music from my pc/mac. Optional as well, but desirable

Free-ridership problems exist and are very big with unions, even those with indisputably good effects. This is why unions can't always be voluntary.

> employees engage in a form of politics that no one should be forced to do just to have a good blue-collar job.

I agree that nobody should have to do politics to have a good blue-collar job. Unions arise out of the necessity to play politics with management in order to keep such jobs in existence.

AWS sucks hairy balls at providing things that are simple for developers to use, so that could be their competitive advantage, but I'm just guessing here.
Velodyne LiDAR sensors are 200m or less, it seems, so I highly doubt Waymo has a 500m sensor in this form factor.

Glancing at articles from when this Waymo product was originally announced a couple of years ago, I saw some equally unhelpful speculation of “no more than 50 feet.”

If it was 500 meters, surely they would say, because that would be really good.

That's horrifying.

That sounds like a strategy a sentient AI would use in a cyberpunk novel to deter the humans from acting against it before it's too late.

(not to say that you're wrong or that it wouldn't be effective; just... jeeze, I hope it doesn't get that far)
Are you in the US? The Europe/UK work culture might suit you better.

Also a weird tip is change jobs every 2 to 3 years. Companies tend to get less cushy and more process oriented over time. Find the company that isn’t measuring time on tasks etc.
One of the reasons I have used Ubiquiti over the last few years is their product quality over other networking hardware. The inclusion of ads leads me to revisit those assumptions before my next purchase.

Ads, even if self-promotion, are a bellwether for a company being desperate or greedy, neither of which bodes well for their long-term product quality, usually because it indicates sales people are making the decisions. They also often lead to a slippery slope of increasing user data collection
What Can We Learn from a Big Boat Stuck in a Canal?
> It's trivial to make it illegal to operate a full node

Right, making something illegal is trivial. But how would you effectively stop someone from doing it? You can tunnel the traffic as with anything. They'd have to go full China to stop it.

And you don't need to run a full node if you're willing to trust a consensus of miners about the current state. (You can see how much work a block (probably) took to mine, so if someone shows you a block with the wrong proof-of-work target you know they're lying, meaning that even this forgery to show to an offline user is 51%-attack level hard.)

> if the government bars exchanges from operating legally, how do you actually trade bitcoin for anything?

Have you ever travelled and bought currency privately? Either just because you ran out, or the listed exchange rate is fixed. You meet someone in a bar and hand them an envelope of cash.

If you used something like the OpenDime offline wallet then it would be easier. They'd transfer to the offline wallet which you would verify, and then you'd do a regular handover of physical items, cash for hardware wallet.

Sure, it's a bit shady, and maybe horribly illegal, but if you were trying to get out of the country with your family's wealth all of a sudden it'd seem pretty easy compared to the alternatives.

Quite the unsupported fantasy you've put forward - sounds similar to the argument that once people have enough money they'll stop working, so better pay them only enough to survive - until you include billionaires into the equation, who don't stop working when they have enough to live for 1,000s of years.
What's sad about that page and the articles it links to is that it could be soooo much better designed and still be clean and fast.

The main list could have dates and times and categories, so it's not just a dump of text links.

Each article could have a reasonably sized image or two without compromising the load speed.

Finally, a single "sponsored by" link could be included in the page to provide revenue via advertising.

It's insane that media companies feel that their sites need to be a bloated mess or barely there, and nothing in between.

Regardless, the fact that the URL isn't served via https is an indicator to me the this is a forgotten service and will eventually disappear the next time CNN does an overhaul of its web servers.
I recall videos of quadcopters dropping grenades and mortar rounds (for accuracy - they can drop one within a trench or at the door of a trench-shelter, unlike firing a mortar from distance) as improvised weapons a few years ago in the Ukraine Donbass conflict.

More advanced "loitering munitions" (essentially, drones that fly around until they're sent to slam into a target) were used in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

I believe that all these cases were human-in-the-loop for various reasons, but the possibility for automated targeting seems reachable soon if the armies would really want it (which is not certain).
Not how it works mate. Unions are also private parties, and your desire to see more unionization does not entitle one private organization to the time, money and/or resources of another.

Yeah, I agree with this, because if you were an early user of tech in the 80s and even 90s to some extent, you had to be somewhat savvy. In the 90s, being a user of tech implied being a "nerd". There was still some level of stigma with spending much of your time engrossed in tech. I found it common for people to even brag about their ignorance about technology. It was common in popular culture, like movies and shows, even.

But surely the folks that learned tech before it was as user friendly as it is today have an advantage over even younger people who aren't curious enough to learn.

Yes, they need to know what's being voted on. But that's not the purpose of company-sponsored, mandatory "information" sessions. The purpose is to coerce employees into sitting down and listening to anti-union propaganda, and you know it.
