Showed this to my partner, who I find pretty intelligent but struggles with a lot of the symptoms the author presents in this piece due to dealing with a variety of medical trauma in her youth. The relation to anxiety rings especially true, in that she's perceiving herself to be failing at a simple task but in reality she's working with a model she can't trust - inherently very difficult! To her it just adds fuel to the anxiety and the problem gets worse and her performance suffers more, etc.

I agree with the author that tackling the cycle at the anxiety - being able to self soothe - seems to be the ticket to not only finding a card in her purse or whatever minor task a sensory processing disorder makes tougher but also to success in general. Being able to name our demons is helpful for contextualizing our experience. This is not a country that keeps people sane, so having alternative explanations beyond "I guess it's ADHD, try some speed" is great.
Check out the recent Marc Rebillet stream with Flying Lotus and Reggie Watts. They absolutely destroy the bs around the use of the word master. I think both FL and RW will be quite representative of how African Americans (and the rest of the world) feel about this.
Agree and perhaps a better way to frame it would be, countries mostly start out as HOAs and then experience a ton of expansion and scope creep in their charter over the 5-10 centuries of their existence.

> Probably the biggest gap in this thinking: if you don't like your HOA, you can sell your house. In this market there's no lack of buyers and you have tons of options – other HOAs, unencumbered properties, etc. This sucks, sure, but compare it to emigrating to a country that you'd like to live in. It's miles apart.

I'd say this is just endgame monopolization in the market for HOAs. There used to be 100's of independent HOAs in the US in 1700's, they then consolidated to 13 colonies and then 200 years of further consolidation and voila - the country known as the United States.
One of the problems with the how the US medical system works is that "35K/month in medication" is only "35k/month" because of some expectation that insurance is going to pay whatever the negotiated rate it (and I seriously doubt that it's 35k/month).

Lets look at it this way: If that was the true price, what percentage of the US population do you think has the funds to actually pay $420k/year in for medication?

> The commodity chip almost always caught up in the meantime at a lower cost.

This dynamic is dead now, thanks to the slowing down of Moore's Law. We're even seeing a resurgence of special-purpose hardwired accelerators in CPU's, because "dark silicon" (i.e. the practical death of Dennard scaling) opens up a lot of opportunity for hardware blocks that are only powered up rarely in a typical workload. That's not too different from what the Lisp machines did.
I am surprised that they intended to use these in satellites. I would expect that they would be more vulnerable to cosmic radiation.

However, my Seagate 4Tb is almost unusable. It corrupts my final cut file every time I'm editing off of it. It will randomly disconnect, such that its still mounted under /Volumes/ but its not actually there. Not sure if its overheating. So wanted to go back to WD, but not sure now.
Maybe the skills just happened to overlap, like high-G maneuvers.
The tax rate being roughly 30% give or take means that those things cost most people less than a third of their incomes. They still pay for them and are mostly independent. Universal income means that 100% of the system depends on the government and their broad rules about who gets what with no possibility of nuance

I’m not talking about a small supplemental ubi btw, I mean a future where it’s most peoples primary income stream
Having LSP and Tree Sitter in Neovim is less "monolithic" to me than having Netrw.

This gets spouted all the time on HN, and I find it rarely to be true, or at least a gross oversimplification.

In my experience what usually happens is a programmer's "worth" is hugely dependent on the scale of the organization, moreso than nearly every other individual contributor-level role, which means that smaller orgs have an extremely difficult time competing with larger orgs.

For example, suppose at some company there is a business process that generates $1 billion in annual revenue, and a programmer has implemented something that can increase that by, say, .2%. So the programmer's "worth" in that situation is 2 million dollars.

A much smaller company only does $10 million in annual revenue, so the commensurate .2% improvement is only worth 20k.

This is a gross oversimplification, of course, but it really gets to the heart of way the FAANGS can pay such huge salaries and suck up a lot of the best talent. It's not that all the other companies are being stingy, it's just that in many cases they can't pay a programmer anywhere near what a FAANG can because that programmer just can't generate that much business value at a smaller company.
I thought of this, too. It exists in a class/geographical system, but not at the individual level.

For all the frequency I hear that "privacy is dead" or that "there is no expectation of privacy in public," we're constantly reading evidence to the contrary.

If you're such a person who despairs about privacy in that kind of way (I respectfully refer to all such folk as "privacy fatalists"), I wonder whether legal decisions such as this stir up your assumptions a bit? Don't you wonder if the future is actually one where, to borrow a quote from a famous legal decision, "the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places"?
I just switched from 0.4 to 0.5 specifically for LSP and treesitter support. There is zero difference between it and vscode for me now. Neovim 0.5 is a game changer and closes the gap between it and vscode.

No, they never did. Influenza is a family of viruses that mutates extraordinarily fast. Last year's flu vaccine isn't useless because your immune system already forgot how to make the antibodies, but because there are new flu viruses every year.

The RNA vaccines at least specifically target the part of the Covid virus that makes it special compared to other coronaviruses. If that part mutates in a way that invalidates the protection caused by the vaccine, it almost certainly renders the virus harmless anyway.

Even if the protection does expire, there is no reason to believe it happens at flu-like timescales. Of course if by (is that the right preposition btw?) "constant refreshing" you mean every decade or so, that is possible.

There is also empirical evidence by now:

Yeah, if this is intended to mean the democrats, I'm going to need an unbiased source on that. If there was actual corruption in the Democratic Party uncovered in these leaks, I don't remember hearing anything about it. I remember hearing a lot of partisan and daffy trash about pizza parlors and a DNC conspiracy against Sanders, though.

Gold wires were used for bonding in integrated circuits too. I think because gold is much more ductile, so you can make thin wires that won't break. It's also more resistant to corrosion, which is a problem with copper wire.
Any history of the industry needs to address what analysts did vs. what programmers did. “Programming” was clerical work, converting flowcharts or pseudocode into machine code on cards or tape. That role was obsoleted when computer time became cheap enough to spend running compilers and linkers, which enabled analysts to write code by themselves in a higher-level language.

It wasn’t until later that obsessed nerds could teach ourselves from scratch at home.

am hàppy to see HHS moving forward, long overdue!

most US doctors are part of a bigger group in order to provide more comprehensive coverage (and due to systematic buyouts), which in turn have preferred insurance providers and additional out-of-network providers, and emergency services are generally for wherever an ambulance takes you. your physician may be great, but they are just a tiny cog in a broken machine

one of the only outs, afaict, is something like working & living near a big & strong HMO like kaiser. but that comes at the cost of pretty firm boundaries on what services they allow: capped care

Global Weather Chaos

More energy in the weather caused by a human additions to the atmosphere that weaken natural filters, act as collectors on the ground (compared to natural 'green' cover), and might even insulate (mostly smog?).

The increased energy makes for hotter summers, and counter-intuitively for some, stronger storms which worsen winters by disrupting the previous systems that averaged and smoothed out temperatures.

Global Weather Chaos - it's accurate.
Reminds me of the Simpson's episode were the mafia had a racket selling rat milk. There's probably some symbolic double meaning to milking rats, that went over my head.

May you define what you mean by "better"
Yes. In a past life, after researching the situation, we had to find and remove all the code copied from Stack Overflow into our codebase. I can’t fathom why SO won’t fix the license.

What makes it even worse is if you try to do the right thing by crediting SO (the BY part) you’re putting a red flag in the code that you should have known you have to share your code (the SA part).

As a matter of principle I don't think we should be moving towards ignoring any and all contexts of words. Granting this power of word banning to random arbiters is quite crazy. In this case, master was moreso changed because it -could- be deemed offensive, not that it -actually- is offensive by itself. Not one person that I've spoken to about it has actually cared.

Words having multiple usages is not really a novel concept. If we ban words based on them potentially being offensive, we'll end up with no words at all as people move onto using different words, and so forth.

It is not silly to have pushback when someone wants to grant themselves power over language usage. Dropping usage of a word should have a strong, tenable argument and larger community support than 0.00000001% of people caring.
That kind of bullshit phrasing can only get you so far.

It's like if some corporate PR department told you "we're aware of the halting problem, and are taking steps to mitigate it." You would rightly laugh them out of the room.

It's not going to work, and the people making these statements either don't understand how much they don't understand, or are deluding themselves, or are actively lying to us.

An honest answer would be something like "We are aware that this is a problem, and solving it is an active area of research for us, and for the machine learning community at large. While we believe that we will eventually be able to mitigate the problem to an acceptable degree, it is not yet known whether this category of problem can be fully solved."
We all use fossil fuels and derived products. It's not easy to replace those things with something more environmentally friendly even now that governments are getting involved.

I think it would be one thing if these tools worked such that with experience you gained a kind of intuitive understanding of how your inputs map to the outputs and a finesse in crafting that poetry for the machine. But based on my (limited) understanding on ML models I have a hard time imagining that is the case. These models are complete black boxes, where a small perturbation of the input can create large, unpredictable variations in output. That makes me think that there is a strong “guess and check” aspect to these creations. And I think tools with that characteristic are limited and frustrating to create with, because you cannot channel your intention effectively through that unpredictable mapping of input to output. But I have no doubt these tools will continue to evolve in the direction of being able to be wielded more intentionally.

Well, in 1984, Big Brother found it effective to have citizens report on eachother's transgressions. It meant effectively, citizens were paranoid of eachother and would control their behaviour for them.

Wikipedia redirects concentration camp to:

Where it also makes the point that the nazi camps were primarily extermination camps.

Maybe take it up with them and get back to me if you feel truly passionate about this issue.

>Maybe it's just me, but I think it would have been more clear

Gosh, it's awfully ironic that this sentence would happen in a thread about how language policing is used as a distraction from important issues.

Is it more important to you how people use the term concentration camp or the fact that ICE lock up children in internment/concentration/[ insert favorite word here ] camps?
The point is that journalists are not supposed to be "politically minded", especially when they're leaking damaging confidential information. Revealing information that hurts one party, but deliberately withholding information that hurts the other, is lying by omission and downgrades you from "brave whistleblower who needs protection" to "low-life partisan information warrior who deserves to have the book thrown at them".
It gives Facebook an excuse to purge people they don't want on their platform. Without complete transparency, they can claim just about anyone was identified as an extremist by the "Facebook community" and automatically removed by an algorithm. Since it's a black box, it won't matter if it is true or not.

Bureaucracies are not the means of production. Actually, Marx specifically sees bureaucracy as the polar opposite of the means of production, and a large part of Marxism is that the bureaucracy and other state apparatus molds itself to the owners of the means of production.

Railroads and infrastructure are the means of production because they're the material things that are required to produce other material things.
But it's sadly fairly normal for tech consulting companies. Worked at some, all it projects were horrible and staffed from top to bottom and management barely looked at it.

Because the money making was more important (getting projects, sending seniors and principals off to projects etc)
If you invoked race as an explanation for e.g. why South Korea and Taiwan had similar modernization experiences, that would be weird but maybe not obviously wrong. Among the dozens of other similarities between these two nations, race as perceived by white Americans is one similarity. It's not the most salient similarity to reasonable people, but there's no inherent contradiction involved.

That's not what's going on ITT. China has had a different modernization experience from the other nations discussed above, which is entirely understandable given their very different histories, assets, infrastructures, populations, demographics, educations, etc. Your racism is that you ignore all those obvious differences in favor of one trivial, contingent aspect in which to an ineducable white American they might seem similar.

When everyone's a visionary, no one is a visionary.
I think a piece that you're missing here is that health problems get drastically worse, and more expensive to fix, when they're not addressed.

Problems are often not addressed in a reasonable time frame because many people don't have access to reasonable health care. Even they they do, they may be hesitate to use it. Anecdotally, last time I went for a preventative check, I was given an FAQ sheet when I signed in reminding me that if I ask about anything specific, or diagnostic, that is not preventative (as if I'm supposed to understand the difference), then it would have to be billed separately and may-or-may-not be covered by my insurance. That was almost enough for me to not ask my doctor questions while I was at the office.

I would imagine that more widely addressing issues early on before they become expensive would remove another large portion of overall US healthcare costs.
What is the point of this if it omits the step where you can choose not to use someone's services if you don't like their rating?
Yes, I think this "99% counts for nothing" mindset is fair when applied to a task card or pull request. You can play games with semantics and say the journey is all that matters or it's the friends we made along the way, but seriously you can fall into a trap of having 12 unfinished feature branches, at which point most of them are practically guaranteed to go in the trash can. There's value in saying, that's really important, but it's more important to ship this first.

US doesn't have single payer. You pay for it out of pocket (if it comes from your employer, well you're exchanging service for service instead of service for money).

This would be unconstitutional. In the US you are entitled to a fair trial even if you aren't a citizen.
