I just want to point out that adults in my life did a terrible job of explaining "spin" and perception management to me until I was well into my 20's. People mentioned that sort of thing, or it was mentioned in novels and I always assumed they meant those tabloids in the supermarket, and that the "real media" were a cut above, because on the surface, they A) seemed to report on a truth, B)seemed to at least be willing to go on the record to correct errors. After all, at that point I paid more attention to what people said, and did not quite grasp the whole "communication through not saying" thing.

I'm spending a great deal of time figuring out how to make a game of "spot the hidden subtext" with kiddos. Just to make them hellions down the road.
> It's important to note that mild inflation is a good thing

I'd lightly disagree with this and say that a naturally small but positive interest rate is desirable but not always good or right. That's different than saying a small but positive interest rate is optimal in ever scenario or regardless of what it takes to make it happen.

We've been playing tricks with interest rates to attain a positive interest for a decade and now bond markets are so drastically distorted that we are having to do increasingly drastic measures to try to get our fix.

I would argue the problem is that for much of that time, mild disinflation was priced into the market clearing rate. And instead of taking our medicine then, we have created an incredibly fragile environment that has the potential to be way more painful than the thing we were trying to prevent.

Cpi is 5 but I'm going to argue 7-8 is a more meaningful number to the average American right now. We can't raise rates but 7-8 sustained is also intolerable. I think our low but positive rates at all costs attitude is going to turn out not to look so clever through the lense of history
Sure, in which case since no one talks about salary because it's "taboo" go ahead and negotiate yourself a raise for doing that.
> it's pretty darn hard to say "no" unless you actually have a good reason not to.

Why?

You say, "No, I'm tired and I've already worked a full day." And without waiting for a response, you stand up and walk away.
I am interested in a very short writeup of fdroid gotchas, along with good stuff.

I havent got around to putting all data through my home DMZ box to hide from carrier spying.
It's really hard; that's basically my point.

But I think a good starting place is to model the expected effects on various populations of all of these various factors (increased floods, increased crop yields, etc). If the vast majority of these models are tilted overwhelmingly negative or positive, we can somewhat adjust our confidence levels. Of course, we'll never be able to be that confident when the time horizon stretches so long (100+ years) and the effect sizes are so small (e.g., sea levels are expected to rise by a lower amount on average than the existing low-tide to high-tide variance). But..that's also my point: it's not merited to be so extremely confident that the effects of global warming are going to be so negative (or positive) over 100+ years.

People focus extremely hard on the negatives of global warming, don't focus much at all on the positives (my guess is most people living in urban areas aren't even aware there even exist any positives), and focus their debating efforts on the (as far as I can tell) long ago settled question of whether or not the climate warming is happening, or is caused by humans. My guess as to why this happens is that considering whether global warming could be a positive thing for the world conflicts with an anti-market bias that people in urban areas frequently share.

I agree! And so do my inflatable biceps!
I've done this before. What one of the earlier posters says about being able to negotiate completely disregards cultural context and what you come to the table to negotiate with. Having the kids excuse allows you to get away certain things while also maintaining your standing in the company.
It is possible. Don't work extra hours just because you don't have responsibilities waiting for you at home.

Even if parents require accommodations the way you suggest, considering that we (parents) are subsidizing the lives of single people, it isn't an unfair ask.

However what you suggest is the exception rather than the rule. Instead one or both of the parents tend to work very hard and struggle to juggle career and domestic obligations, often to the detriment of raising their children. It's worse the lower the socioeconomic ladder one goes, too, because of the extreme physical and psychological pressures that build.
I wouldn't say no, but if this is happening consistently I would point during reviews out that I've been putting in greater contribution and expect commensurately greater reward.
The problem was throwing the solution at their faces like that. The key to looking stupid is not making others look stupid.

There are ways to create roundabouts so that the solution looks “elegant” but only after “hard thought”.

There’s also the risk that the simple solution has some real limitation (eg. some regulatory issue) then you’ll will indeed look stupid
Now I’m imaging you showing up to the opera in full PPE.

anyone thinks this is related to truthsocial using them as their MX?
why the eff are you lot fighting each other? it's your managers putting the expectation on you that you can pick up the slack for your coworkers going home on time. who's really out of line here? the people going home to take care of the rest of their lives, the people staying to "pick up the slack", or the people who insist that it's reasonable to ask you to do that in the first place, instead of, I don't know, hiring adequate numbers of staff or paying you overtime for the extra hours worked?
CloudFlare is not an ad company, yet.
As uncomfortable as it is, this is all true. I'm not saying that means we need to 'cancel Jefferson' but maybe we should take notice of the ways in which standards of acceptability have changed throughout the ages. These changes in morals continue, one has to wonder what we do today that will be seen as barbaric in 100 years

great answer to a very interesting question!

for inspiration on how to preserve things for future generations we may look at religion.
I have no idea how things really work in e.g. Switzerland or Israel, but one can imagine a stylized regime where every healthy adult undergoes military training, serves for a period of time, learns to use a rifle which they keep, and all other guns are heavily restricted or outlawed, especially handguns. And the rest of the military can be dispensed with.

And then, stringent training can be mandated for drivers too! Just make simulators of the quality used for pilot training and require people to pass difficult tests where they react to unexpected events while driving.

"Impunity"

In the US there are almost no significant repercussions for any actions taken by a police officer whether correct or not. See also "qualified immunity," where things can happen like officers literally stealing from a crime scene and the victim having no recourse because there's not a previous decided case with exactly that scenario within the same jurisdiction.

I have this exact same situation with my Youtube history.
I used to be able to search it in Google's history search, but that only shows a subset of results.

If I want to really search for the title of a random video I saw 5 years ago the only option is to download a raw CSV of my history and use grep :(
I don't know why anyone would auto-download untrusted packages as part of their own build/release chain and not review the code manually. Anything could be in there.

The way people use NPM is pure fucking insanity.
Now what makes you think I'm miserable? Because white advocates in movies are portrayed as irrational and violent, filled with hate for everyone that's different, like in American History X?

Have you ever considered that movies and media might be deceiving you?
Why would you dress up for an opera? You just go there in your regular clothes, it is like going to see a movie.
You're ignoring the fact that in most cultures saying you have a kid related event will get you out of something while usually retaining your standing in a company. Trying to negotiate leaving at 4pm so you can go home and relax is not seen in the same way. As a parent you're bargaining with more leverage.
1. Those children don't need much particular upbringing to wipe asses.

2. They will be compensated for the ass-wipings.

3. The majority of the children's service will be to their parents, not me.

So why should I give others a pass and do their share of the work so they are free to produce a series of systems to take care of them and not me?
Agree with this take. It’s a network effect - lots of good tech people have moved to the Bay Area, so you’ll find higher quality people. Nothing to do with the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a result of the people moving, and causes people to move, etc.

I suppose you don't since you didn't read the docs.

Why try it in the first place if you expected it to be the exact same?
As pointed above, there is also human survival tail risk to stopping global warming. How are you so certain to know which tail risk is larger, or likelier?
This is really the only viable long-term strategy for Intel to return to sustainably profitable margins. The key question is whether the support of the board will waver in a few years when the going gets tough but they need to keep pouring capital into risky long-term investments which won't yet have begun to pay off.
The Long Now Foundation has spent a lot of time thinking about this. They have designed and implemented clocks built to last 10,000 years. I doubt anyone else has spent as much time and effort solving this problem, so I’d suggest something similar: https://longnow.org/clock/
Bus factor. What happens if the knowledgeable lead developer gets into an accident? What happens if they retire? More realistically, what happens when they burn out because it's so hard to hire other team members and so they can never really take a vacation and have to take their pager everywhere with them? That's why businesses optimize for headcount.

Convenience and invented here syndrome.

Oh, those are horrid. Not that shutters would suddenly make them attractive, but they could use something to give them visual interest.
In the Santa Fe Institute's Complexity podcast I was recently listening to an episode where the host, Michael Garfield, mentioned as an aside that imposter syndrome was something virtually everyone at the Institute deals with, all the time.

Given the intellectual firepower of those involved, that's both disheartening (it's something you never get over) and encouraging (even they have to deal with it).

Tracked it down: Episode 55, James Evans on Social Computing and Diversity by Design, March 11, 2021.

You just spoke to something that seems to come up a lot in the context of interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research, which is how it creates a chronic endemic imposter syndrome. That's a thing that I remember the SFI research undergraduates were [having a] very lively discussion about the fact. And they were like, "Oh, the senior faculty were coming in and [saying] no, no, all of us deal with that all the time". You can only be an expert in so many things and you're living in this big complex world.

This is a huge deal, but another aspect is the direct sales model. Websites like Carvana and direct sales models mixed with lower servicing needs means dealerships are going to go away. That has to be another few million jobs on top of the 4 million this is already describing.
> The elephant in the room is that most societies actively want to penalize people living alone.

i dont know if "actively want" is the right way to put it, but it does seem to be a kind of situation (overwork, output, expectations) that as time goes on, ironically makes it harder for them to "make a family"...
Just because religions go through major institutional changes, since they are in fact very human at their core, you have to give some credit to the fact we are still talking about Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad.
You are better off with microfiche.
but, if you’re deeply committed to capital, you probably don’t like a revolutionary dialogue thats got capital in its sights. I don’t think characterizing my position as somehow wrong and inherently unappealing is accurate, I think my position is unappealing to those who feel threatened by it. But threatening dialogue isn’t bad.

Loners have no claim to the benefits of society. They have no skin in the game. No healthy society should cater to them. Sucks to hear if you've been lead to believe otherwise but its the truth.
I'm likely confused. The next parent above your question that mentions Gab is currently this one:

> Gab also used Mastodon but they don't anymore anymore. They did run as a Mastodon instance[1], but after being blocked from most instances and even at the software level by most Mastodon apps, they stopped using Mastodon and wrote their own new backend that does not federate.

...which seems like a pretty plain statement of facts? Is there some encoded animosity there I'm missing? The comment you replied to was a link to a Rolling Stone article that also doesn't mention Gab. (As an aside, I think Rolling Stone is a terrible source of news or information).
Not an either-or situation. Many ML algorithms can be formulated in a probabilistic way, and PPLs can represent them. But the choice of the underlying inferential algorithm (MCMC, variational, etc) greatly affects the scale and type of solvable problems, so it's not just the language itself.

PPLs using MCMC (e.g., Stan and pymc) are first-choice tools for Bayesian inference on small to medium data analysis, which is lots more common than Google-scale data analysis.
Raising the next generation of people who pay singeltons' salaries and make their lives possible is different from indoor rock climbing and slamming avocado toast, and relatively at least it very much is special.
If my math is right it would take roughly 120 years at a 2% inflation rate:
1 * 1.08^x = 1000 * 1.02^x

x=~120

Two reasons I respectfully disagree with you, the first more compelling than the second:

First, Apple has a history of dipping its fingers into several cookie jars simultaneously. They source from different suppliers to introduce supply chain redundancy and establish pricing power. This way, they ensure that a transition from a main supplier company to its competitor is always viable, because they build relationships and allow the competitor to generate enough revenue to stay active in that particular product segment. So even if Apple wants to make its own chips, it has a reason to do so at least in part with Intel as the IDM 2.0 push towards foundry becomes a reality.

Second, there are still some significant drawbacks to Apple's new machines. I want more external monitors, for one.

This is neither here nor there, but personally I think Apple should have spent $500 billion on its own chip fabrication infrastructure rather than doing share buybacks over the past ten years.

As someone currently in DC, I think you might've moved from the worst place in the whole country for that comparison. DC is completely packed with wannabes, especially when it comes to anything tech-related. The problem isn't so much relatively little tech knowledge, but a huge disconnect between how much tech knowledge people claim versus actually have. The entire culture, at least among white-collar affluent people, is built around faking it for consulting/contracting/lobbying money. The place is full of hustlers starting fake "AI" and "blockchain" conferences. Almost any randomly chosen city in the U.S. would get you a better signal to noise ratio. I was more impressed with Houston, for example. It doesn't necessarily have any more technically competent people in absolute terms (there are actually a good number of solid companies in the DC area with knowledgeable people), but Houston doesn't have the same level of tech-bullshitting scene, so it's easier to sift through the noise.

This is a great point. Often this issue is not raised due to necessity of coercion resistance which prevents voters to prove how they voted.

In absence of such requirement voters may as well be able to issue a message which invalidates the vote and can be collected by a third party. Then the invalid votes tallied collectively could be used as legitimate reason for nullifying election result.
This cliché bugs me, because it is repeated so much, and it is generic - you can say "if you make X illegal, only criminals will have X" about anything and it's just as obtuse.

Making something illegal for law abiding citizens is the point!

When someone (either in authority or anyone) sees a person with X, and it's legal, then they don't know if it's a criminal or not without further investigation.

When they see a person with X, and it's illegal, then they do know it's a criminal. This is an enormous advantage to enforcement, if that is the goal.

Obviously you can, and many people do, make arguments based on crime statistics that outlawing guns works, but I prefer a logical approach.
The incredible engineering solving real problems better than before? There's so much noise that it's hard to find people shipping solutions for real problems rather than describing a hypothetical future state.

Interesting to compare to an innovator in this space like Nvidia, who is matching their hw expansion investments (arm, mellanox, .. : growing portion of the hw platform) with sw investment (deep learning, rapids etl stack, solution verticals, ...). Instead, Intel seems to be competing with... themselves and AMD?

On the one side, it's heartening to see the investment, but on the other... surprising to not see any aggressive market-making / market-winning moves. $40B buys a lot of PhDs.
Indeed. Go there to enjoy it. You'll probably get more out of it than the dressed-to-the-nines people.

This is legal jargon. We are not in a legal context so is useless. Evidence in science has a different meaning, Is something that proves or refutes and hypothesis. You can't refute a scientific hypothesis but only a little, is a boolean term. An hypothesis in science is either true or false. Period. The equivalent terms for true or false in law (illegal or not) are much more elastic and adopt the shape of money.
First, it seems weird to suggest that "nasal demons" are a particular fear of WG21 at this point. As a reminder when C++ got an Optional type std::optional the committee insisted that it have Undefined Behaviour if you for any reason don't check whether it is empty before using the contents.

We're not talking about 1998 here. This is in 2017. By this point plenty of people have experience already using languages with Optional types that do what you actually want here, but the C++ committee decided no, C++ is the footgun language, it's what we're known for.

But OK, in an alternate universe where the committee doesn't introduce footguns on purpose to prove their Real Programmer credibility, and where we do get Epochs, what should happen for fraught situations so as to deliver consistency?

The committee should decide on a rule. I know that's often portrayed as too difficult for such problems, but it won't get easier in subsequent versions. That's why I think it would have made sense to delay long awaited work like Concepts if that was the only way to land Epochs. Concepts is already too late for the main act and being a little later barely makes a difference. Whereas Epochs gets harder to do every version, so the sooner the better.

I buy vinyl mostly to support artists (I maintain a streaming account too because it's more convinient), but also because I inherited my mom's collection and my kids will be able to inherit mine.

Just about the only backflip I could imagine is for Apple to declare that the highest end variants of Mac Pro would remain Intel indefinitely, making the Mac a permanently multi-architecture platform. But I’d put the odds of that happening at far less than 1%.
