> "You should wear masks because rigorous science tells us that it is effective."

you've really just glossed over the hard part, which is when and where masks work, which is in turn the difficult political problem to solve.

simplifying, covid spreads mouth-to-mouth with a brief stint in the air, not mouth-to-air-then-(much)-later-to-mouth, which is the mediopolitical narrative that's being pushed vehemently but irrationally, and upon which masking policies are erroneously based.

what's always ignored in these narratives is that the virus falls apart quickly all by itself outside the cozy confines of the body, not to mention floats away to oblivion quickly when outside.

if we're really concerned about masks working, we'd have to force people to wear them among friends and family in private spaces like homes, not outside and in grocery stores where they have basically no effect.

"masks work" is a grossly overreaching blanket political statement, not a summary of "the science". scientific evidence suggests masks reduce droplets (and aerosols, with better masks) being ejected into the air. there's less clear evidence that it reduces airborne viral particles being inhaled through the mask. but there's almost no evidence that the way we've deployed masks is doing much other than signalling our fears and concerns.

i'd be open to supporting mask policies that are based on actual evidence (e.g., wear them when socializing at home), but not the mediopolitically fearmongering policies we have.

I think it's very unlikely that Tiktok could build an equivalent UX that would work in a browser, including the creators tools. And even if they could - have they done so?

And let's not forget that Apple actively works against this way of working by intentionally gimping their browser capabilities and outright disallowing competing browsers.

I don't doubt for a minute that victims continue to suffer from the knowledge that there's a lot of traumatizing content on the Internet, and that various services integrating with clearinghouses help.

I also don't doubt that Apple is at least semi-competent and could pull this off in an okay-ish way. But all the goodwill and clout that these megacorps have would have been better spent on advocating for policies that prevent child abuse. (Neglect, physical and sexual.)
But then you're not being perfectly rational. You're calculating the odds, which is what my second sentence says.

> Well I was replying to a user that said he was not significantly affected by marketing, because he does things like sorting products by "cheapest" and reads the product ingredients. I simply said that those decisions are made purposefully and are not random. It's a way to position products.

If I read Jensson's comment in the context of this article and the comment they were replying to, then I think they are saying that they are not affected much by promotional marketing material. Coming out of the bushes to say that the things they care about (ingredients, price, store) is also marketing (for a sufficiently wide definition of marketing) isn't adding any insight. It feels like deliberately missing the point just to argue for the sake of arguing.

Try looking for a role on this job board. The world is bigger than Google/finance.

There are plenty of Google roles that don't touch Ads. Google is at the cutting edge of ML it's probably worth chatting to a recruiter or two and seeing what's available. I just used Google as a filler, plenty of big tech presence in London.
Perhaps that was a misake on the plaintiffs part. But the ruling does seem to contradict legal precedent around bait-and-switch advertising. So its still a bit perplexing.
I assume the opposite is going on.

Hopefully the RDNA3 software stack is good enough that AMD decides that CDNA2 (or CDNA-3) can be based off of the RDNA-instruction set.

AMD doesn't want to piss off its $100 million+ customers with a crappy software stack.

---------

BTW: AMD is reporting that parts of ROCm 4.3 are working with the 6900 XT GPU (suggesting that RDNA code generation is beginning to work). I know that ROCm 4.0+ has made a lot of github checkins that suggest that AMD is now actively working on the RDNA-code generation. Its not officially written into the ROCm documentation yet, its mostly the discussions with ROCm github issues that are noting these changes.

Its not official support and its literally years late. But its clear what AMD's current strategy is.
I can relate to that and it's really important to ask questions. Also it can be quite irritating when people try to look smart instead of being actually interested in the point.

On the other hand jargon is not an exact science. There are things like false friends, commonly incorrectly used terms and all that. That's why spoken language is usually spoken redundantly. Also sometimes the acoustic is bad and you don't want to ask 10 times a minute. Or the person says something incorrectly but you realize what the person actually means because of the surrounding context.
I agree, actually. My point was more that "ICE" includes all of the non-PHEV hybrids, and some people might actually include PHEV in the definition since they include an ICE drivetrain, so it's not necessarily a big step back for someone who had been considering an EV.

If I could switch companies easily I would. But you need to be insanely good at math/statistics to pass the interviews, which I'm not, and you need to show enthusiasm for the role, which is difficult.

How much would that ride from those two services cost today?

While we are giving constructive feedback...

The sign up form is really annoying to me. I'm already not happy that I need to sign in to use a web browser (and likely to not pay $15/mo for one). But the sign up form keeps adding fields that must be answered before you're done. I'm okay filling out a form... but don't keep teasing that I'm done when I have 10 other questions to finish. This is not a very user friendly pattern.

This comment is like saying to somebody explaining the increased rate of car crashes with people talking on phones as a consequence of divided attention as saying that has nothing to do with that and it's because we're genetically conditioned to only focus our conscious attention on one task.

Mechanics and second order effects matter. Reductionism is a useful conceptual tool but it isn't a good representation of wider reality because things are more than the sum of their parts.

You seem to be missing the fact that genetics are simply encoding the proteins and it is the biological feedback systems mediated by dopamine that are actually driving our actions.
Funny that you post the same idea right when I did.

100% agree, and I've experienced a lot and have thought about it a lot.

Fancy house - who cares if your house has everything you like (quiet study, comfy bed, stove, espresso machine). View is nice, but prob gets old.

Car - who cares. Driving a safe car with some good speakers is nice enough.

Flying - even if you're traveling, you don't do it a ton. Business class is within reach for us peons with points if you really want it for overnight to Europe or whatever. It's not that much better.

Everything else is basically the same. To get a good workout, you still have to make it happen and push yourself hard. To get a high quality girl, you still have to converse well, do fun things, and connect.

Of course it's natural to want more more more. But Remote job with >$100k salary is basically living like a king and we are super lucky.

I feel like this misunderstands sales and discounting systems. Because it's a snappy line which is technically true but the long answer is way weirder.

I'm just gonna use Kroger as an example because they use "club pricing", rotating club pricing, actual sales, "manager specials", and closeout sales.

- Everything by default is priced at MSRP, that's the price on the white price tags or the yellow price tags that don't have a corresponding white price.

- Then they use club pricing which is the price on the "yellow" tags that aren't formatted like number/$dollars like 3/$5 or 2/$4. This is the price you would compare to Walmart.

- Then there is rolling club pricing which is like 2/$5 but always unit priced to your benefit. So they will mark 2/$4 but the unit price is $2.

These aren't actually sales in any meaningful sense. But the next ones are.

- The actual sales require a minimum unit purchase. You probably see these when buying soda or vitamins. If you compare prices to other stores this is only time you'll see the unit price actually smaller than other stores. The "buy n get $n" deals are also in this category but are way more gameified.

- Then there are "manager specials" i.e. "woohoo!" deals which are priced with stickers and also actually discounts.

- Finally there are closeout deals which are white tags usually steeply discounted and don't require a card to get.

I really hate that all this garbage works. I really appreciate stores that just post a price.

> Once again I'm fairly lost by what you are trying to mean.

You may want to look up the difference between formal models and informal models.

Since both rationality and the paper showing that it is bounded are based on formal models, it is reasonable to assume this is what we are talking about.
That would be the last time I went on an RCL cruise.
For starters, who said it's better to be rational?

Not being rational - and instead being based on guts - has an evolutionary advantage (it cuts through the noise, which, in the past could be a life or death situation).

The situation would be better than it is now, even with every bank implementing their own proprietary API. As it is now, the APIs may or may not exist - and a lot of times the fall-back for these services is web-scraping, using the same full access credentials the user has to use to log in otherwise. It's a security nightmare and it's fragile.

At least if the bank implements some sort of API that means some thought was probably given toward using tokens instead username/password, and some thought was given toward scoping the APIs - at least into read-only and read-write capable access.

Although if you read between the lines in some of the service descriptions and backend documentation, a lot of what Plaid (and Yodlee, and others) do is now a mix of scraping and private APIs the banks provide, but those APIs are only available to commercial entities they've signed a relationship with.

Obviously the ideal is public standardized APIs all banks provide with established security-focused practices and read-only limited data access as an option. But proprietary per-bank APIs available to the general public would be a good step forward.

That might be true given a single brain, but we as a species have access to billions of brains.

The question is, can we organize and educate ourselves so we can leverage that parallel power and let each person become experts in their areas with proper trusts and incentives? And manage to pass along the previous generation computation to the next, without corrupting the data?

Edit: And I forgot all the tools we've designed to help us compute all that, of which I'd count math as a tool to help us compute, and computers as another.
You can change what happens when a user hits CMD-w. But CMD-w should still be the trigger.

Everyone expects a very specific thing, make the current thing go away. Its the same reason you likely picked CMD-k as the shortcut to your pop up window. That's what Slack does along with several other applications.

If you want to map this shortcut to your implementation of "going away" that's fine but it should be the same command.

I came to say something similar, that rational decision making is really a poorly posed problem at some level.

Take money for example. You can create a theoretical decision-making dilemma involving certain sums of money, and work out what the most rational strategy is, but in reality, the differences between different sums of money is going to differ between people depending on different value systems and competing interests. So then you get into this scenario where 1 unit of money means something different to different people (the value you put on 1 € is going to be different from the value I put on it; the exchange rates are sort of an average over all these valuations), which might throw off the relevance of the theoretical scenario for reality, or change the optimal decision scenario.

The other issue beside the one you're relating to -- the subjectivity of the weights assigned to different outcomes, the achille's heel of utility theory -- is uncertainty not just about the values in the model, but whether the model is even correct at all. That is, you can create some idea that some course of action is more rational, but what happens when there's some nontrivial probability that the whole framework is incorrect? Your decision about A and B, then, shouldn't just be modeled in terms of whatever is in your model, but all the other things you're not accounting for. Maybe there are other decisions, C and D, which you're not even aware of, or someone else is, but you have to choose B to get to them.

Just yesterday I read this very well-reasoned, elegant, rational explanation by an epidemiologist about why boosters aren't needed. But about 3/4 of the way through I realized it was all based on an assumption that is very suspect, and which throws everything out the window. There are still other things their arguments were missing. So by the end of it I was convinced of the opposite conclusion.

Rationality as a framework is important, but it's limited and often misleading.

How are you so convinced you'll hate Google as well? The big plus of working at FAANG is that they have lots of projects and you can switch to something you are interested in. You don't to working on ML in Ads, you can always switch to compilers (dart?), databases (spanner?), VR (daydream?) .. the list goes on. Of course the rat race for promotions, and perf can get disheartening, but you can reach a terminal level (L4) relatively quickly and then focus on what genuinely interests you.

This may be a stupid idea and it is outside my expertise (IANAL): Would legally classifying identity information as intellectual property help? I don't know the case law around identity as private property but I would imagine requiring someone to enter into a legally binding contract just to enter a store would kill efforts like these pretty fast.

I'm sorry you are in this state.

You share a lot of details about what you don't like and what you wish were better in your post. Perhaps HN can help you in a different way if you write about what you want to do and what you like (careers, cities, dreams and ambitions etc).

> I have racked my brain trying to figure out what field I would prefer to work in, but I can't think of anything.

I assume you mean that you want to do some things but can not make the money-partner-city-family proximity balance work.

If you share what you really want, even if it is totally impractical, HN might be able to find a way to make things work.

On the other hand, if you don't have some idea for what you'd rather be doing, I recommend seeing a therapist. When the world appears uninteresting in all dimensions, it's a sign to seek help.

Savings minus debts is an excellent measure of how much cash you have, which is what is destroyed by inflation.

When your net cash balance is negative, you thereby benefit when the value of cash drops.

If the home is worth 600k, and the dollar loses a third of it's value, the home is now worth ~900k in new dollars, but 600k in old dollars.

Your 400k mortgage is still 400k, though - which makes it cost you ~266k in old dollars.
Well, I'm in Cincinnati, roughly the 25th largest metro area in the US. When I grew up, there were IGAs, but I think they're all gone now. We have various farmers' markets, and a couple of one-off independent grocers, and then there's Jungle Jim's, which is sort of a combination grocery-store/amusement-park.
