> O.k, I say "kind of" because with a union run job, it's usually done on time, and done well.

This is why owners of Class A real estate usually mandate union labor, at least for MEP trades.

I bid and run work at a union shop, it’s sometimes difficult to compete on prevailing wage/public jobs here since only the cash wage portion is counted and not the benefits portion. So, a non-union shop can pay the $45/hr prevailing wage and cheap out on fringe benefits, maybe an additional 12-15/hr, where the union labor gets the prevailing wage and negotiated fringe benefits package that is roughly 2x the base wage (total comp). Right now we pay union journeyman electricians $87/hr in IBEW 292, which will go to $90/hr next Monday.

The good thing is, there’s plenty of work for union shops since as I mentioned, lots of Class A real estate and giant companies stick to union labor for construction, as the quality or perceived quality is higher (in general).

You’re also correct about the extra savings going to the developer, if you hire non-union labor and are bidding against a union shop and it’s a lump sum bid, you only need to beat the union guy by 1-2%, the rest is profit to keep.

It’s refreshing to see someone with actual experience commenting about construction on HN, nice post!

Yes those! Sorry :)
Is there any reason to believe that unsupervised hidden criminals in the public employ have ever done anything to decrease or ameliorate "jealousy and suspicion"? To the contrary, one finds they have inspired massive amounts of both.
Probably main reasons are:

- Syscalls are not designed to be called directly from end-user programs. Instead lower level libs calls syscalls.

- Getting a syscall accepted is a long and tedious proccess, so they should as general and future proof as possible.

There is. Interest on Excess Reserves and the Open Market Operations are all done with magic dust as input.

There is a wonderful transfer matrix method library in Python for reflectometry simulation too, if that's what you were hoping to find.

Convenience scripts to run Open Genera on Mac OS X or a modern Linux
It's sad that the amount of computing power that necessitates training/running cutting-edge technology like GPT-3 is out of reach of the average developer. The only reason that AI Dungeon was able to be created in the first place at its level of quality was because the developer was able to use his university's GPU cluster for training the model.

For the layman, it seems that there's nothing out there that is the middle ground between AI Dungeon and writing a bunch of fragile Python code in a Colab notebook just to train a model and print out some text. Anything beyond AI Dungeon and you have to have a significant understanding of ML to adapt the model to get it do do what you want at a high level, such as "I want to generate some text that looks like a script for dramatic theatre."

I've always wanted something like: bringing your own corpus of text as an input and receiving a customized, high-quality text generation model as an output that you can then run on your own hardware.

Talk To Transformer was very good for general text generation at the time it was usable, but even that became locked behind a payment plan and watered down for free users.

It seems there's just too much value and too much expense involved to leave this kind of technology solely in the hands of hobbyists.
Do we sanction and vilify ourselves now?

> It seems that the big factor is power. When you're in power, you use any excuse to silence the people who disagree. When you're not in power, you recognize that free speech is a universal principle.

This is an oversimplification to the point of not agreeing with reality in any useful way.

Just a few months ago the party in power was “for free speech” while the party out of power was arguing for “limiting the reach” of certain content.

It might me more true to say that each party wants there to be more speech that it agrees with (i.e. speech that preserves or gives it more power) and less speech that it doesn’t like. There are more strategies than plain old censorship; as we saw recently drowning out the discourse with falsehoods works just as well. Few people care about some abstract ideal of “free speech”.
>A way to ensure sane content moderation (child porn / abuse, etc) while still keeping the decision-making decentralized enough - Easy enough for the first time mobile internet users to onboard

You can't.

It's like asking for a printing press that does not allow heresy. The technology is content neutral and any society that does not use it to its full potential will be buried by it.

We can have the same tired discussion that evidence of a crime, e.g. photographs and videos of child rape are not a crime any more than photographs and videos of murder are, but as a society we have decided this is not the case. As such Anglophone civilization in its current guise will not the be society that harnesses distributed digital media to its true potential.

Anyone trying to do this will have the predictable result of getting burned at the stake. Keep in mind that you have the potential for ridiculous profits because of centralization. So enjoy the ride and have an exit strategy.

> if you are not working at a hedge fund using large sums of other people's money, then the amount of profit one would make actively investing their own money is not worth the amount of research it takes to make informative investments

I think it's worth working out the math for yourself, rather than taking anyone's words for granted. Let's say the average annualized return of S&P500 is 10% (obviously, past returns are no guarantees of future returns). If you buy and hold, then you essentially pay no taxes on your capital gains.

Let's suppose the alternative is to actively trade, and your strategy involves holding securities < 1 year, incurring the maximum short term capital gains of 37%. Let's say your strategy generates an annualized average return of 20%, pre-tax.

So the annualized net worth (after capital gains taxes) starting from $100 would be:

passive: 100, 110, 121, 133

active: 100, 112, 126, 141

So you can generate 10% excess returns, after taxes you compound approximately 2% additional take-home money each year. Then you should ask yourself, is it worth the hassle? Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. Some people enjoy researching companies, making predictions, and allocating capital to their beliefs.

obviously, there are ways to try and mitigate capital gains taxes - incorporating offshore LLCs, tax loss harvesting, etc. those are important considerations when designing an active trading strategy.

Separately from whether active investing is worth it or not, I think it's valuable to learn how to read financial reports and understand businesses as a projected set of cash flows, along with understanding things like balance sheets and incomes. Learning to read 10-Qs has helped me think of my own budget / personal finance planning much like a business. Financial literacy is super important, even if you are a passive investor.

Me I do they are restricting everything this will cause incest to not be generated because most incest characters are mteens also teen sex will stop being generated your char name might make the ai stop generating cuz your a minor this is kinda bullshit. I will not play again I can't even make a story of me having sex with my mom

Lmao I just made that to gross out who ever the fuck moderates my stories.
Anyways.
The ai dungeon stopped because my char was 15 years old.
"I Was" the 15 yr old.
It shouldn't do that and this is like blackmail.
What if one of the mods blackmail your stories and your irl google account user for making incest fetishes like this isn't right and I proudly STAND against this shit update.
(Excuse my bad language I'm just expressing my freedom of speech toward the update)
Eventually you might not even be able to make teen love stories because there minors interacting with each other.
If you are interested in video courses, particularly for programming languages, the link below is to a small, but useful, YouTube channel from a developer who reviews popular tutorial sites like Plurasight, LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, Udacity etc.

https://www.youtube.com/c/TechCourseReview/videos

This is probably stating the obvious, but sometimes (often?) online course instructors may have expertise in their subject but aren't particularly good at instruction or at explaining things clearly. Some sites give no course preview other than an introduction video (which may be scripted while the rest of the course is unscripted). I'd be wary of platforms like this (e.g. Pluralsight) that give no option to see the instructor's delivery or how they explain things.

I'm sure everyone has encountered video tutorials like the one shown in this parody video:

The blue/green thing matters mostly to young folks, who are constantly on the lookout for signals of social distinctions. If it wasn’t chat bubbles, it would be something else.

This isn’t derogatory; it’s literally how the human brain develops. Everyone goes through this phase. It’s not something that Apple created.

> Sugar is less calorie dense than fat

Yes. I never said that it wasn't.

> naive reductionist CICO thinking

CICO is how the body works. If you absorb more calories than you burn you will gain weight. It also doesn't matter the source of the calories. We have metabolic ward studies that tell us that.

> sugary persistent surplus seems to be a particular problem

I agree. In fact one of the prevailing theories of diabetes is that fat molecules enter the cell and get in the way of insulin absorption. In other words, insulin resistance.
Good for Sony. But Sony should also consider taking back and recycling one obsolete unit for every new one they sell. Otherwise all that obsolete product is just industrial waste dumped on unsuspecting communities.

Yep, I needed to put together a Webpack build tool chain for React last month & thought it was going to be a bit of a nightmare and it just...wasn't. Tiny bit of fiddling, but generally easy -- that was with a fairly complex setup in terms of the project structure and rules around deployment, so quite impressed after a few years of avoiding it due to how much I hated the song and dance over setting it up.
Maybe. It’s complicated.
Apple is generally about two things: incremental improvement and the complete package. This lets them diversify the yearly 'wow' upgrades across many components: cpu, graphics, camera, display, IO, battery, chassis, etc, based on whichever step changes reach maturity that year.

For instance, this year is not only the year of the M1 but also the Mini-LED ('XDR') displays we see on the new iPad Pro. 1000nits (peak 1600) is a massive improvement as is the improved contrast.

Meanwhile users are on their own personal replacement cycle (say 2-4 years for phone, 3-6 years for iPad and Mac). So by the time the user is thinking about replacing their device, there's several years of accrued changes across many/most components that make the latest device really compelling.

You're right that at this point all the Apple devices have at least a good 5-6 years of 'works fine' in them. But this fall when you go to look at a new MacBook Pro and it's got an XDR screen and an M2 chip that together have you 3-5x screen brightness (vs your 2015's 300nits), 3-5x graphics, 2-3x cpu, 2-3x battery life, better webcam, etc, all compared to your slowly wearing out macbook... that'd look pretty darn enticing to anyone.

As for the future? At some point component capabilities (like cpu/gpu perf per watt) reaches a point when entire new categories are unlocked, like AR/VR or computational photography effects, but those have to be incremented to as the pace of component progress allows.
That means that teeeechnically, this easter egg exists on every such shipped copy of Windows XP
If you're going to make a claim like that, you should supply links so readers can make up their own minds. When people don't do that, it's usually because the real story is rather different than they're making out. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I may be mistaken, but I believe that with your previous accounts that we were aware of, the "real genuine content" was pretty trollish. When users keep creating accounts like that, we stop telling them that we're banning them, because they know perfectly well what they're doing, as do we. This is all explained at the links I mentioned upthread.

We do make mistakes, and when we find out about them, we apologize and try to correct things. But shadowbanning accounts that are innocently posting "real genuine content" isn't anything we normally do.

> On commuter rail lines we pay conductors $100k a year to collect tickets when in Europe they'd use a ticket machine. On the NYC subway they have a driver and a conductor when in Europe they'd only have a driver at best

Hold on, commuter and metro rail in the US have dedicated conductors? As in one per train, rather than someone spot-checking tickets on one in a hundred trains?
Apple's services includes AppleTV+, Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, Apple Podcasts+, iCloud Storage.

And it represents 20% of Apple's revenue so pretty sure this "they haven't actually jumped on the services train" comment is just a little off.
Seems like a system that could be very easily weaponized.
My personal theory is that Apple got better after Ive’s departure. Ive got worse after Steve Jobs died because he no longer had someone pushing back on his crazy ideas, making them practical.

The 12” MacBook was the poster child for the search for ultimate thinness. As was the disastrous butterfly keyboard (it was suggested this only shaved off 0.5mm).

Look at the iPad Pro refresh just announced. It’s actually slightly thicker because that’s needed for a better display. This would never have happened with Ive at the helm of design.
What theories? And how widely?

Huge groups of people are being generalized as equivalent to people who genuinely believe COVID-19 isn't real. It makes reasoned discourse impossible.

Business Object Models are deprecated in ISO 10303-1e3 and replaced with Domain Models specified in SysML (v1), the ISO 10303-242 one will look very similar to the current BOM and will have alternative EXPRESS and XSD representations. The SysML Canonical XMI files that are the specification of the standard will be provided with it, a user can use the tools I linked to in order to convert this to something that can be loaded into a SysML editor.

Someone using ISO 10303 EXPRESS models now can carry on using them in the future, there isn't some change they are forced to adopt. The only real user visible difference will be a more complete mapping between a Business Object Model/Domain Model and the traditional EXPRESS Application Protocols.

I am maintaining Express Engine and adding new features, I'm not the original author though.
Thanks!

For #1 is it possible that you haven't yet factored in that values in the simulation are adjusted to be in today's dollars? i.e. expenses that match inflation exactly would show as the same value each year.

For #2, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot if you want to send a message to projectifi.io@gmail.com. There is existing logic that should be capping your 401k contributions at the IRS limit. But if you have a scenario where this isn't behaving correctly, I'll gladly look into it.

Thanks for the comments! And currently "team size" is one haha. At the moment I don't have plans to bring on additional staff and deal with the business complications that adds, but I really appreciate the thoughtful commentary and if you'd like to have any more discussion feel free to email any time.
For the record, the post you are responding to (and many others sharing similar criticism) was made before I changed "no value" to "no market value" (this edit is called out in a footnote).
That thread is from 8 years ago. And you're talking about issues from 5 years ago.

I just have never seen a pollarded tree that produced large enough shoots to be called a pole. A pole in my mind is 4-5" in diameter. Everything I can find says pollarded trees were used to produce fuel and small diameter wood for crafts.

How did the body count turn into a house seat exactly? There are dozens of ways that New York's population count could have gone 89 in either direction and changed the house seat allocation. At those small margins, it's basically a coin toss.

The Smith–Mundt Act makes it illegal to distribute propaganda where it may be consumed by a primarily US audience.

Also from just a practical investment perspective, creating a bunch of sock puppets on Reddit to try and influence the opinion of Putin doesn't make sense. r/Russia for example only has 150k subscribers and most of the posts are in English.

You would need to ask WeChat, VK, Weibo, Douyin, and OK for transparency reports on how many state-sponsored accounts they have terminated.

I don’t think critique of Ive is bashing. Design isn’t engineering, sometimes you hit an artistic wall or do it too long.

Japan is just an awesome place. It's one of the only places I've visited where it's a massive culture shock - but unlike other places, where it's usually because they haven't quite got stuff together yet. They have everything just the way they want it, it's just totally different to the west.

For example (if you need one aside from trees growing out of other trees) the trash collection trolleys that other countries just see as a horrible dirty thing, in Japan play a happy tune as they go. I miss you Japan. When covid is gone I'll be back.
