wow, I never heard that figure, that is staggering IMO, I've never understood why Joe was famous, never got his appeal. Per WSJ, "The deal with Mr. Rogan is a multiyear licensing agreement for an amount of time that couldn’t be learned. It will likely be worth more than $100 million based on milestones and performance metrics, according to the person familiar." Wonder what those milestones are like and how important they are to Joe. https://www.wsj.com/articles/spotify-strikes-exclusive-podca...

Please don't spread confusion about what "free speech" means. I'm sure you are not actually confused about this, so please do not pretend to be.

Having some people not appear on a given podcast is not a "free speech" issue. Choosing to not be a dangerous idiot by having dangerous idiots on your show during a pandemic is not "censorship" or anything remotely close to censorship as it is commonly, and correctly, understood.
Joe Rogan confined to his bath of money doesn’t care in the slightest.
Sales tax can vary depending on state (among other things), see for example Oregon where it's 0%, vs Washington, where it's 6.5% (and my jurisdiction adds additional couple percent for a total of ~10%).
"Being a comedian does not magically relieve a person from their responsibility to not credulously spread around dangerous pseudoscience during a pandemic."

Yeah, I think it does. Has he been cancelled? Nope. Does he stop making jokes about almost anything? Nope. Do you listen to his podcast? Nope.

You know how he became so popular? From talking and being open minded. That's _all_ he does. He ain't doing it to be an influencer yet "journalists" actually waste time writing articles like this. I guess the haters need something to read too?
This person understands what actual burnout is. You get really seriously fried, like 'can't function in any sense' fried. The references to 'you have to decide what we'll watch on netflix because I literally cannot choose a thing' rang very true to me.

I generally needed more than a couple months but less than a year, and the removal of whatever it was that I'd burnt myself to a crisp trying to control. Over my lifetime that's been everything from overcoming homelessness, starting a business, transitioning the business to Patreon, trying to have a relationship: it's been a lifelong process of learning that I can't have things (even very desirable things) just by pushing harder to earn them. Quite often I just have to give up and not have the thing.

The more I learn that, the less I'm riding the edge of burnout.

Beyond a threshold salary, where your lifestyle is already comfortable, salary is unlikely to be the primary reason you look for a new job. Even if your current employer match, it's probably better long term for you to move on with your career and garner broader experience

Spotify sucks on Android too - so idk what they think they're doing. I think iOS (specifically just iPhone) is the only place where they appear to work on improving their app.

It's a yearly contest with people coming up with various stuff. Normally one finds Kokichi Sugihara in the top. I'm a big fan of him after meeting him at a conference (FUN With Algorithms), and made my own attempts on some of his concepts: https://github.com/Matsemann/impossible-objects

Cross compiling from Minix386 to downloading SLS and going native.

Ok. Here: https://bashly.dannyb.co/usage/getting-started/
R1's original goal was "feature-complete replacement for BeOS R5". I think we have at this point achieved that, but we also have a vague goal of "usable, stable, daily-driver OS" which we are not quite there for (mostly on the stability and daily-driver front; there are users who use it as a daily driver, but in a limited fashion.)

The Haiku kernel and CLI already supports multiple users, you can add them and SSH into them already. Permissions checks aren't quite there yet, and the GUI is totally non-multiuser-aware. It is a R2 requirement, but it could come sooner...
I don't get the economics here. The sword run around 300 euro in the online storefront, and claim to be 10-20 hours of work. I pay about 15-30 euro per hour of labor.

Toss in equipment, materials, labor, overhead, taxes, benefits, and all the other stuff, and I just don't see how this can be done. Either the income is McD's, or there's something fishy going on.

I'm also not clear what "last master swordsmith" even means.

Anyone got an explanation? I'm wondering if this is a nice marketing piece, if I'm missing something, or something else. I'm probably missing something, but...
The CDC has repeatedly made misleading statements though.

In particular, the CDC recommended against the use of masks early in the pandemic, which may have caused many thousands of cases and deaths.

More recently, they've been wishy-washy on masks again. Backflipping repeatedly on whether vaccinated individuals should wear masks.
Interviewing influential figures is important.
Speech such as "this guy is full of it, don't listen to him"?
Rate-limiting works really well in most cases, though CGNATs makes that a horror nowadays too.
It’s easy to measure statistics of a device noising among several grid cells to find with high probability the exact coordinate. Think of a person standing right where grid lines intersect, so with 25% probability each time the position will be reported to be one of four neighboring cells (due to errors in GPS measurement), which gives their exact location right on the intersection. If the probability weights’ distribution is different, it’s easy to infer the coordinate as well. Or if the person is moving, you can build their trajectory with high confidence.

It’s not that easy to obfuscate the coordinate in a way that the position is still relatively accurate (for the purpose of distance), and not “hackable” with some basic statistics.

The usual recyclers usually used extract most saleable hard drives, cards and memory. Some of these components have a long life in other places = $$, many recyclers fail to scrub, however responsible data practices should have this data well encrypted - but not always.
Dell will contract to scrub drives but may not sell them??
Downstream recyclers will sell these.
There is a large smelter, the Horne Smelter, run by Glencore
https://www.glencore.com/what-we-do/recycling/operations
There are others. These take mixed computers, printers etc and smelt them in a huge retort with flux and other materials. The steel is extracted, so is the copper, zinc, gold and other trace metals, They have an up-to-date fume scrubbed smelter with minimal pollution. The scrubbed fume dust is processed for other trace metals and then turned into a glass that is crushed and used for rockwool, asphalt etc,
The point of listening to "wrong" sides of an issue is to see how well your "right" side stands up to scrutiny.

The history of science is full of obviously right things that turned out be be wrong.

Even Einstein, who upended Newtonian Mechanics, rejected Quantum Mechanics, since "God doesn't play dice with the universe".
I feel you on that (or rather, understand exactly what your wife means here). That’s kind of the reaction when kids read the ebooks now and then ‘meet’ the character (our actors who teach the lessons) in live video! They get so excited. Let us close our seed round, grow a little more, and hit Series A milestones and I’m sure we will be adding more physical aspects to the book ;)
Not in any normal way; the geocentricists tried to build mechanical models but the increasing number of epicycles was a big clue that the system was in fact heliocentric.
I don't have the option to burnout and take a year off. Unemployment is very scary for me right now. Plus I tried to grow a few programming hobbies but never went far, so I'd be really bored if I quit. I think the maximum number of days that I can do nothing is around 7.
> Journalists don't have any special statutory privileges.

I’d say a special mention in the first amendment is notable.
Spotify is terrible for podcasts, but 100mil $ is enough (on top of $$$ he already has) to not care about nuances of does he gives them more than they gave him.
>I already gave one example of something they could do to help curtail illegal behavior without requiring an invasion of privacy.

You said they should add a reporting mechanism, that won't stop anything because if a person already has knowledge that this content is being shared, they could just report it to the authorities. There is no reason to report it to Apple. Like you said, "Apple's role is not the police".

>Some people also don't want to support a company that they know is enabling surveillance, which is what Apple is doing here.

I acknowledged that in my first comment. Some people feel one way. Some people feel another. Apple is acknowledging both sides of this while you are only acknowledging one.

>A violation of your right to privacy is a violation no matter how small you might think it is. They don't need to invade our privacy at all.

This type of black and white ideology can't function in the real world. All rights have limits and the general rule is that your rights end when they start infringing on my rights. Your right to privacy does not supersede my right to not be a victim of a crime.

>Everything leaving the device isn't E2EE and this doesn't "allow" for everything leaving the device to be E2EE. Stop pushing this false dichotomy.

Everything I have seen from people in the know has suggested that this is a step on the path to Apple enabling E2EE encryption for iCloud.

>Things can be E2EE without any invasion of privacy whatsoever and there are other options to help combat CSAM that aren't violations of a user's privacy. Stop pretending like this is the only option when it's clearly not.

Do you have an actual suggestion that you think will cut down on CSAM beyond providing a redundant reporting system?
I think 2nd guest appearances are not going to see as big of a spike in followers than the 1st in general since it's likely that the same audience who were going to follow the guest have already done so, so not sure how much of this decrease can be attributed to a platform change.
Hey, just found that patch in my email. Will try to get that encoded into a formal issues on the project. If you have time yourself feel free to that or any other issue yourself. Also looking for 3rd party reviews on the PR's I have open now and into the future.
>Don't promote people upwards unless they are willing and already working at this level. Give them a simple raise instead.

I don't disagree, but I don't think there's anything simple about the process at all.

1. this obviously works against the company's interests, if they assume the employee is satisfied. short term business sense says they want to get away with paying as little as possible for labor, whereas employees want to be paid as much as possible. It's an eternal tug of war. And to be honest, one the tech sector has relative advantage over compared to other industries.

2. Even if we get over this short term block, figuring out how to give "merit based" raises can get very tricky, very fast. Especially if you leave the onus to not the developer, but to the manager's perception of the developer to determine.

This not only has bias on how much they/the company values a project (e.g. would working on a "simple" adtech feature be worth more than the labor overhauling a failing product to fail less? The ad product makes the company more money after all). But on their bias as a person. Would Manager give Bob a bigger raise because he goes to Karaoke on Thursday with the company, over John who has to get back to his family after work? Worse yet, would Manager implictly give Janet not a different raise than Bob due to subconcious sexism and not actually doing more work (be it preferential towards or against Janet)?

It's a whole mess, which is why companies try to objectify the whole thing. At least there, there is no room bias outside of who can pitch themselves better (if we assume equal work done).

3. Even if we arrange all of the above, raises aren't typically something a direct manager has easy access oo. It involves several lines of commands to appeal to and approval, beholden to a bunch of budget issues beyond a typical manager's control. Even if they truly want to compensate properly, the company itself may simply decide that they'd rather take chances hiring someone new when/if they need to maintain a potential void, over potentially compensating someone who was

I think the 3rd point is an interesting quandry since it goes against the usual mantra of "People leave managers, not companies".
They are unionizing…
That's great, think my next move will be the M1 MacBook. Perhaps cliché but may be worth trying Linux on there now, elementary OS or something, everyone mostly just use the browser anyway.
Because copyright holders like the idea of reselling the same games to you hundreds of times. Nintendo resells the exact same games to people every time they launch a console. Companies create low effort compilations all the time.

You'd think they'd make their money and move on to new creations. You make something, it's successful, you make your money for 5 years or so and then it's public domain. You'd have to make new stuff to make more money. No. Copyright holders feel entitled to extract value out of their "property" essentially forever. It's the ultimate in rent seeking.
It is censorship when the government leans on you to not promulgate ideas the government decides are false.
Sure you can blame spotify but generally personality based entertainment goes in and out of vogue quite quickly.
He has timeliness on the optimistic side but people were skeptical of his claims in the 80s that a computer will win at Chess by 2000 or that the internet will become ubiquitous. He did think a US company will reach 1 trillion $ by 2010 and that speech recognition will be more widely used but even in cases like that he wasn't massively off.

As far as I can tell for decades he's been consistently more right than his critics and often on issues that are a lot harder to get right than simple coin tosses.
This is the most frustrating thing about Rogan for me... if he were talking to people as an uniformed layman and sharing his opinion in an effort to weed through his thoughts and become more informed, that would be great! We need more people who are willing to be wrong and learn from that. This is often how Bill Burr comes across (to me, anyway).

But Rogan's not that. He likes to hear himself talk, throws his opinions at experts as if they're equally valid, invites charlatans on and equates them with experts, rarely changes his mind, and comes out of it just as dumb as he came into it. Then people emulate him and end up in a state where they're less able to learn, and frankly, bigger assholes.

It's barely even a shtick, it's the same old pseudo-intellectual machismo that has always plagued society.
yeah, i think he kind of peaked shortly before the period where he was so obsessive with his attempts to outrage people over pronouns. i seemed to stop hearing about him around that time other than the headlines surrounding the spotify deal of course.
I disagree. My family's cost of electronics plummeted when I switched all of us to iOS. This is due to longer device lifetime and fewer broken devices.

Anecdotal for sure, but my kids and most Android devices lead to numerous broken electronics, be it screen, micro USB charging port issues, or detached SMDs. My 5 year old going into Kindergarten has been merciless to his iPad Mini and it is still trucking along, after multiple years. My OG iPad Pro is still my daily driver for media consumption and is going on six years old.
For me it's the '0' key on my numpad on an external keyboard. Takes up to 500ms to be scanned. All other keys have input lag, but are scanned instantly.
Keyboard works flawless on Linux. Really weird. Wondering if the '0'key is somehow scanned in software on Mac.

Cant blame them. There are no end in sight with component shortage. I mean within the NAS market, if Synology and Qnap are having trouble with supply. It is quite literally impossible to get anything done during these difficult time with the small volume they are making.

Rather than hoping or praying things will change ( it wont ), I do appreciate their honest take on the issue.

I hadn't worked with React or javascript before this project, but did a small Flutter project in university. I found dart easy to pick up because it's quite similar to Java, which I've used quite a bit.
Also I find that there's more progress being made with Flutter (with Google as a backer), than with React native. But I might be in a bubble there.

Creating the apps is mostly automated and the apps use webviews along with a few native components. Without webviews and automation this would never be possible at that price point, you're totally right.

There's lots of competitors that offer pure webview apps at ridiculous prices (I've seen $5 even). You can't publish those in the app store though (even if you manage to submit it for review without any help).
So native components and help with publishing the apps are quite essential. And that's where a lot of the involved effort lies: communicating and helping customers.

Working on improving that day by day though :)
Amazon S3 Intelligent Tiering Pricing and Potential Cost Savings
What is the difference between experiencing reality and a game?

The difference I can see is that there is no one explicit objective function, but this doesn't stop generally capable agents [1], and doesn't imply that inverse RL is not possible.

> The ability to play go very well doesn't enable an AGI to better understand reality.

I disagree, model based RL constructs a model of the agent's reality and can use it to plan ahead, train the agent, or do some form of monte-carlo tree search. The latter is something very similar to how we imagine and think about the future.

I've noticed that a lot of overly-confident people do this. They essentially have a list of preferred topics and always try to bring the conversation to those topics.
Why do you think they would be cheap? Many of the relevant chips have been out of production for decades. Sure you can emulate a lot on a logic device like an FPGA, but those are still expensive compared to a microprocessor, and your engineering costs will go up. Then you’re facing stiff competition- a vintage gamers ideal is exact hardware. Any sort of emulation will have slight quirks- timing changes, mildly perceptible audio frequency shifts, etc. if your product isn’t an exact match for the hardware, it’s competing with the hundreds of ARM based emulation oriented systems that popped up after the RetroPi concept took off. And for what, a few thousands units of sales? Most people fall into “fine with emulation + ROM”. A select few stick with vintage hardware, which is not expensive. The market for “very close to original hardware but not quite” is a hard sell.
Catch22 -

From the quoted CNN article: "...the generous pandemic-era unemployment benefits that have already ceased in multiple states will run out in September, which could affect the rate of hiring as well."

Part of the burnout (certainly not all, perhaps not even a majority) is the extra load working Americans are taking to offset the voluntarily unemployed.

Somehow, I suspect many states will extend these benefits beyond September until Congress & State legislatures can enact legislation that assigns benefits to those truly in need vs. electively unemployed... if that's even possible.
But you clearly don’t get it, as your many posts in here show.

It seems the article does not concern itself with what the device tells Amazon about you, but rather whether it ensures only Amazon will be able to eavesdrop on you and that they do so reliably. What a "refreshing" perspective.
VCs want people "plugged in" to the latest social fads--that's young folks. That's where the quick money is--go big or go bankrupt.

Profitable companies, however, tend to have older folks as they understand their industry and understand how to extract money from it.

Neo4j is really neat! I particularly love using its query language Cypher, it's pretty intuitive and easy to reason about. I've been using it professionally for a few years now and it's changed the way I think about some data -- it's basically like drawing on a whiteboard.

I was able to solve one of the days of the 2019 Advent of Code with just a few lines of Cypher without any other code.

People will forget this ever happened in a couple weeks. By then, they'll be angry about something new.

Big true. The adult content creator community is famous for this.

The old models won't use new platforms because it's so much easier to just stay on OnlyFans.

After building content and following there for multiple years, it would be stupid to think that a majority of them would follow to new platforms. A lot of subscribers are not interested in giving their CC information to new platforms all willynilly.

Soon enough, new models will be joining without any knowledge that this ever happened. It'll get memory-holed in weeks.

And Onlyfans will continue to be the biggest and most well known name in adult content platforms, making it the most profitable site for content creators to use.
I'm assuming for the privilege of fast forwarding them, but I'm not sure, it's probably the biggest reason I can't feel any affinity for the platform at all. I'm happy to chip in for the service like i do with Youtube Premium, but come on. They're not short ads either, and I think most of them are put in place by Joe Rogan himself because they're often him going on for 2-3 minutes.
