There's been a trend over the last 15-20 years as the big US movies have internationalized of reducing dialogue complexity to enable localization (once you notice it, the lexicon and grammar complexity in recent-ish Marvel movies especially is crushingly limited). Maybe mixing poorly (and writing a movie with "you won't really hear or understand the dialogue" in mind) is another strategy to hide that.

That, or a cynical mix engineer noticed that the words don't make the movie any better, so they made an editorial decision to cut them a little (plus, everything was clear enough in their carefully calibrated 22.2 Atmos studio).
Well, it might have taken 45'. It's all auto-generated, it was really quick.

I wrote a script later to automate the audio mixing, that took another hour. Now I can generate a ready-to-upload episode with one command, though.

> It’s hard to pin point a largely accepted definition of economics, but intuitively we all know what it is. It’s how the money moves in a society.

No. The commonly accepted definition is that it's the study of how we allocate scarce resources, and how we could perhaps do that better (for various values of "better").

Lots of economics is done without reference to money.

I 100% agree.

I also wonder what the solution could be though… Especially for geographies that have lots of more interesting companies to work for.

We could sit here and say “they could pay market rates“ (or even, “they could pay shiploads of cash, benefits, etc”) but, from the little data I gathered from the CTO and others, some of the difficulties are
1. that the problems they have are generally not very interesting because…
2. their risk tolerance is -1000 since
3. innovation & change is seen as - and can pose a very material - risk, and
4. They are a slow and stodgy companies mired in regulations and guided by legal teams* (Also means offering stock/upside underperforms tech companies by a mile)

I’m trying to imagine a scenario where (as a person with plenty of options) I would be interested in joining the health insurance company for longer than a year or two…

Even if they gave me a massive salary, a gorgeous office, a robust team, they would still have massive challenges to give impactful problems to work on without getting mired in internal legal battles and committee reviews.

Having seen several insurers from the inside most of them would need massive internal cultural changes just to hire a handful of A-players and retain them for any reasonable length of time (make that triple true with the pandemic popularizing remote work)*

* A quote from the #3 person at Regence who I worked with: “I love this!” (Re a startup product.) “How do we get it around legal and through procurement?”

Even someone who controlled 1/3 of all revenue made by the business still could be stymied by legal & procurement.

* There is one shining star I could point to… Regence BlueCross BlueShield of the Pacific Northwest. They are owned by a parent company, Cambia, which also has an accelerator, venture arm, and an innovation lab if I remember correctly.

They have solved some of these issues by investing in innovators such as spotlight health to help them solve their business needs. However, I don’t believe (though I have no data) they had a robust internal security team for all the reasons listed above.

This would be a common setup. They allow SSH ingress so that the server can be managed or provisioned with something like Ansible. However, they block all other unused ingress ports, as well as any egress that does not contribute to the function of the server. Also common would be a bastion or VPN to get to the network where SSH is accessible. A mistake is to have SSH accessible to the entire corporate network, which is all too common.

It wasn't my proposal. My original response to the GP comment was that I'd avoid registration and only introduce registration/renewal fees after a certain short (compared to existing duration) period, like 10 or 15 years.

On top of me agreeing that requiring registration when publishing sucks, hopefully privacy laws stop your family photo from ever being misused.

On the topic of tax havens, you are right: my bad for misrepresenting stuff.

I was just trying to point out that you receiving your income somewhere where your government can't see it (either in cash or in a foreign bank account: plenty of 'poor' people evade tax in this way, even service workers in the US) does not change your tax residency. IOW, residency rules are well defined, and they could apply equally to copyright-residency.

But since copyright registration should be, IMO, voluntary and only after an initial grace period where copyright protection is automatically assumed, residency matters only in avoiding registration/renewal "migration".

In the US system you can have split control - one party has the house and the other the senate (or the presidency - you need a trifecta). If you don’t have all three then basically nothing gets done.

This can’t happen in a parliamentary system. There’s only one body, and elections are automatically called if no one can establish a majority coalition. Someone has to have a majority in parliament, and there isn’t any other body to contend with.

Parliamentary systems can almost always conduct business is hyperpolarized conditions; the US system almost never can.

I'm in the US:

Who is going to enforce a law to have a working kill switch? Likely it will have to be only the states, not the Federal government.

How many voters would be eager to have such a law enforced? Some states don't have auto inspection, and some states do but don't enforce it very strongly. E.g., a few years ago I had a car out of inspection for several years. By chance a Cop noticed and wrote me a ticket. I ignored the ticket but finally contacted the court. The court had me pay some administrative fee; I did, and the case was dismissed without my being found guilty. And I was not required to get an inspection.

If a state has no auto inspection, then what state Governor would set up a group to enforce such a law?

For several years now, a Federal law requires that new cars have anti-lock brakes. But if they fail, then no law is broken.

Or: "Sorry, Sir. I bought this car used. It seems to be fine. I don't know anything about any kill switch. If it is disconnected or broken or some such, then some previous owner did that. Or maybe the switch failed on its own."

Lesson: There's a lot of showmanship going on. There's a lot less real than meets the eye. This whole kill switch issue is now and long will be very much just an issue of politics, that is, regarded at least by the politicians, with the power, as just an issue of politics. By politics I mean fool people in ways that can make them happy at least for a while and, thus, get the politician votes.

To be blunt, it appears to me that (1) Congress is perfectly willing to enact some law requiring a kill switch to please the MADD group and their supporters for 10 years or so. (2) No one in Congress really believes that a kill switch will be required in all new cars.

Soooo, Congress is willing to play some such games. But lots of other people play games, too: Generally they try to scream that there is some problem and a big effort should be made to implement the solution they happen to have in mind. As in my "(1) always look for the hidden agenda and (2) follow the money.", the "hidden agenda" is to sell their solution and make for themselves the "money".

E.g., my house has low flow plumbing. Bummer -- at the kitchen sink I have to plan ahead just to fill a pot with water. I don't live in a desert. Where I live we are awash in rain water 12 months a year -- we have no water shortage.

To me these look like scams, and it seems that new scams arrive continually, say, like weeds. Some of the scams fail to catch on, but some do catch on, if only for a while. Then along come more scams, more claims of "Oh we got trouble, ...." Keep in mind that maybe such a scare is just a scam.

>Capitalism doesn't forbid sensible regulation

It doesnt forbid but it strongly inhibits. A system under which you are able to acquire vast resources then creates the ability to use those vast resources to sway the political process in your favor.

Even when the regulations exist (e.g. antitrust) regulatory capture will inhibit their enforcement.

It's surprising how many people consider this process to be somehow irrelevant or out of scope when you analyze how capitalism functions. It's a core feature.

Interestingly the MIPS CPU traps on overflow for the add and sub instructions. You have to use the addu or subu instructions to get the usual behavior of overflow.

But what stands out in that happy story is engineering integrity of the highest calibre. The behaviour of an engineer who (correctly) bows out for reasons of technical principle is the peak of engineering as a discipline and goes a bit beyond mere competence.

For comparison, although the UK sometimes produces a two-party coalition government (including twice very recently) it's more common for there to be a single party with a parliamentary majority.

In which case essentially the only substantial "check" on the prime minister's power is the next election. They don't need to buy the support of anyone from another party - and they can count on the support of their own party.

Of course, UK governments will still spend lots of cash in marginal constituencies in hopes of buying the locals' votes. And there's still corruption, like ministers handing out lucrative PPE contracts to their personal friends; handing out honours in exchange for donations to their party; and retiring to highly paid do-nothing jobs in industries they previously regulated.

Carrol calls it the "Resolution Conundrum" [0]. If you believe in the underlying logic that there is a kind of runaway effect, of simulations within simulations, etc, it's inevitably going to be the case that the most probable simulated universe is the one with the least available computing power. So whatever trickery you use to get around the problem of low resolution just substitutes one problem for another, and then the new thing runs up against limits of computing power.
We would be most likely to experience the simulation that's most likely to generate noticeable artifacts as the simulation runs up against limits.

“Building” is fun. Projects are fun. Governance and sustainment are not fun for builders and as an organization grows, you need more than builders.

It’s kind of a universal theme in any endeavor. I work in a very different place and have similar experiences. As a founding member of a “startup” within a massive bureaucracy, we grew from 4 people to 4,000.

Remember that people are different. My wife is a finance/auditor by trade - digging through balance sheets and controls to audit stuff is awesome work for her. Conversely, some of the details of how the sausage is made when you build a growing service just seems “wrong” based on her training/profession.
MADD is an awful organization these days. In the early days they knew how to stay inside the lines, now they are power hungry fascistic organization. They would be happy if you weren't able to leave your home unless you got permission from a MADD member.
> Some critique may come from wrong assumptions, but being critical is not just bashing

Focusing criticism only on this architecture, producing criticism without any solid argument, putting aside all the positive aspects, criticism when you clearly lack of expertise, sending similar criticisms in several conversations when already debunked on multiple occasions.. This is really systematic on discussion about RISC-V. That's what I call bashing, I cannot call that legitimate, correct or constructive criticism.

> The ISA specification was released in 2011! In one year! [...] But if you look at the changes and skip anything that isn't just renaming / reordering / clarifying things, it always fits on half a page.

I encourage anyone to open the original document published in 2011 [1] and compare it with current RISC-V specification documents [2].

There is very little left from the 3 month student work, it mainly remains the philosophy which is probably highly influenced by project supervisors.
Moreover, it mainly consists of the basic RISC-V ISA which is indeed designed to be simple and minimalist, whereas the current RISC-V full spec. consists of a multitude of extensions.

At this stage your statement and the statement from the email is not just exaggerated, it is pure misinformation.

> Not an ISA designed by industry experts for high performance cores

Okay, the industry wasn't involved as much as today in the beginning. But RISC-V is really the product of experts in the field of high performance architectures

Life is hard for honest people. Just so you know. Good luck

An older uncle I had insisted on stepping stairs everyday. One day he fell off the stairs, and died.

Her wife, my older aunt, had help. Three hired people took turns to keep an eye on her around the clock. She still died because she fell off the bed several times in spite of that.

See a therapist yourself, try to remind family to help (usually a failure), pay for the help you can.

In the past I used to tell my mother that I would send her to a retirement home when she couldn't be independent. She shortened the discussion everytime until it was just a two word answer "F U"
Now it is a running joke but I acknowledge she prefers any other alternative if I want to help. And since I want to help she probably won't end in a care home.

I know it's awful and true, BUT, can you blame them?

Think about the infrastructure required to allow direct human contact for someone like Google, Youtube or Facebook.

Just a regular ISP in my country of Sweden needs an entire call centre to handle the calls it gets from customers.

Now scale that up to the levels of Google.

I can totally see why they've made the decision to avoid consumer contact. Their consumers are the entire internet.

I know this is controversial but one solution would be to break their monopoly up so that smaller companies could handle consumer contact.
There are variants that come with a lock that fixes the handle into position though. Usually not high quality locks but good enough to prevent this attack.

Who is to say we are experiencing rich detail? How do we know we aren’t stuck? Stuck on the planet? Stuck in this universe? Stuck in our minds?

It’s an interesting theory though but I’m not quite sure I buy the detail resolution argument as the one that defeats it, rather similar to Descartes in that you can’t trust your senses it’s hard to care about, especially with no proposed test (which wouldn’t the test be part of the simulation too?). So you kind of run into the “well who created that kind of marathon and I don’t know of any philosophical conjectures that have those characteristics that have been solved. Could be wrong though.
