I don't believe GPT-3 (which is what I was using and commenting on) has access to the internet. It was trained on a large data set from the web, but for instance if you ask it about COVID-19 it has absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Alexa is a different matter entirely, that one actively troll the web in response to your queries.

I think Brave is a GREAT option for this scenario:

Typical Chrome user decides they want to start moving away from Google. They rely on a ton of Chrome extensions so don't want to switch to Firefox or Safari or some other walled garden.

Brave is a good drop in replacement for Chrome as it's compatible with the app store and runs on Chromium.

Add uBlock Origin and EFF Privacy Badger, they're in great ad-blocking shape.

The ads are opt-out, Brave Rewards is also opt-out and you can even turn off the button for it in the app tray. You can stop the "new tab" ads and also turn off the "cards" for their crypto stuff.

I heard allegations of including their own affiliate links in typed URLs. I don't care one iota. If it doesn't raise my price then that's between Brave and whatever company.

I don't care if they are destroying the internet ad industry. There are more important things to worry about like not letting my personal or professional life become the subject of nation state spy campaigns and Big Tech overlordship.

I think a reasonably simple example would be the relationship between private debt and the property market.

Increased productivity -> increased income -> increased discretionary income -> increased ability to service debt -> larger mortgages -> higher property prices -> less discretionary income (which could otherwise have been used to 'buy' free time).

It's true that some of this borrowing will lead to new wealth in the form of new houses and associated infrastructure, but I suspect that a large amount - if not most - of the borrowed money is spent on driving up the prices of existing assets, in which case the winners are the lenders who have successfully captured the increase in productivity.

In Argentina? No. Why would you think that? Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, etc., are regulated in exactly the same way in Argentina as US dollars are, except that the real estate market is dollarized. Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, etc., are not easy ways around bans on conversion to US dollars. (Gold isn't either, although the regulation is slightly different.)
IMHO the most effective adaptation for "solo or small tribe survival" that we and other primates have is all the factors that decrease one's chances of being put in the very disadvantageous solo or tiny tribe situation. (For example, various submissive behaviors and the quite interesting concept of crying seem to be adaptations towards that - continuing to live in a larger tribe instead of leaving) It's simpler and more effective to try and avoid or fix that problem in the first place, instead of trying to optimize for tolerating the problem.
We looked at Linear and decided on Kitemaker[0] as their core thesis is enabling collaboration with eng and product (and other stakeholders). The team does daily deployments and like Linear they focus on speed and hotkeys.

In case anyone wants to read more about the RMW variant, this is called CASPaxos: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07000

I first learned about this as a project called gryadka and I had trouble believing that extending Paxos from consensus (write once) to a full linearizable register worked until model checking a TLA+ spec for it that I wrote.
pfft, we’ve had self driving trains for more then half a century. What you are describing is basically that with more fancy sensors instead of the rails, and perhaps the rails are probably a superior guidance technology in most of these cases anyway... unless the purpose is to impress rather then to automate.
That sounds great. Unfortunately in America, healthcare costs depend a lot on how well your employer negotiates with an insurer. If you're on your own and you want the same level of coverage, you're gonna have to pay a lot more money. If it wasn't for that, I'd have totally taken a sabbatical since Covid started.
Tangential but it seems like many web apps shown on HN feature a plethora of emojis. I feel like it's overused, lazy development, and therefore hurts the identity of the app when it shares the same suite of "icons" as so many other sites. At one point they were cute, but I see them absolutely everywhere now and they frankly look juvenile sometimes
Have you ever considered the possibility that SafetyNet, for example, exists because banks want to guarantee the transactions are indeed done by the user?

It all goes back to the concept of the chain of trust. If a company can vouch for the code all the way from them to where it is running, that is an incredible improvement to security. Apple does it for its encryption and startup sequence, having delegated macOS to a read-only, signed volume on your disk that they can cryptographically guarantee has not been modified one bit. That, to me, is a great improvement in the security of our lives, and our banking.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

This is not what Marx believed, he painfully toils through literally thousands of pages arguing for his theory of value, and is not that there is one objective value, which translates to the exploitation of the worker. In fact, his theory is grounded in the profound complication of what we consider 'value', specifically its duality under capitalism: "use value" and "exchange value". What you are most likely referring to is " surplus value" which is something like the amount you can point to that comes from the exploitation of the worker, but it comes from a very complicated pseudo algebra of his own design.

The best thing to pick at, if you are arguing with Marxists, is the general "labor theory of value" and whether that ultimately is correct. The labor theory of value has to do with how we assign economic value to things on the market, and that it ultimately is from the labor of those who produce the product.

The title is a whole lot of "no shit." Women aren't taken seriously. My wife's,(very short lived) PCP theorized that her intestinal problems were possibly due to her period syncing with our daughter. The concept of periods getting in sync is proven to be false and our daughter was two. When she pointed out the second thing his response was an exclamation that "it is a thing though!" She had a previous diagnosis (on record, with him) of diverticulosis and the thing he thought might be her period syncing was a diverticulitis flareup. This is not an uncommon problem she faces and it's not unique to her. There are lots of women to have to do their own triage because we think they're going through PMS or postpartum depression or their just hysterical (hysteria chairs are a wild thing that happened in medical history).

I don't have time to get into the study but anecdotally, I can assure you that we do women a horrible disservice in the medical field. It's one of the reasons my wife tries hard to work only with women. Most of them believe her.
That appears to be about China. What am I missing?

Also, assuming we have perfect faith in Chinese government statistics and Cuban government statistics...

Nevertheless, the wild variations in Covid experiences between countries and controversy over why it happened, make me think it is a useless yardstick.

Do you mean “improvising”?
This comment says more about you than them.

It never "just clicks". Meaningful relationships take work. In the modern adversarial dating environment, people are very wary of one another. Helping someone get to know you means getting them to let down their defenses. People are defensive and cautious these days for good reason, but often times it means meaningful connections with potential just don't happen out of apprehension.

These days, a lot of people want a readymade partner. All the tough work of becoming should be finished, there should be no personal growth left to do. If he/she doesn't already have everything you expect then time to look somewhere else. This is unhealthy. We have to rediscover how to look past the trinkets and into the human being we say we want something more with.

It's a pretty idea that people just click, that true love happens effortlessly, but it is not true, and it is a perfect fiction that destroys peoples reasonable expectations and destroys their lives in the process. How many people waited for perfection like that until they found themselves alone at 40? The only thing that just clicks is sexual attraction.

If someone believes someone else owes them romance for putting in effort they have no idea how to go about it, perhaps they never will. When you meet someone who you think is special and you decide to do the work of getting to know them and putting yourself out there for them, you do that knowing that they might not reciprocate, you accept failure as a possibility and you choose to take that risk and engage gracefully.
Years ago I had a friend who was in IT, but had a side job doing data entry.

When he got a new set of data to do entry on, he would develop custom data entry environment specifically for that data. He said it effectively gave him some large multiplier in typing speed, making a minimum wage job fairly profitable for him to do.

Title of the post is very misleading. The article uses word "worship", while "fascination" not even once. You can be fascinated by something in healthy bounds.
I am curious if this lack of bias stems from the imposed way of life or some other effect and not the mild autism itself.

E.g. Certain professions instill in you biases. Or force you to pick them. Examples: police officers, medical, politicians, social workers. And I bet those are professions that people with degrees of autism avoid.

I am curious if the lack of bias exists in other conditions that end up acting in a short of unempathetic way (for different reasons as noted).
Yeah. I grew up working poor my wife grew up go-hungry-poor, we’re close to out of debt and living comfortably with two kids in our 40s. Poverty? No fucking thanks.
In a nutshell if I have enough assets that generate lets say for example 6% return and can borrow cheaply like at 1% then I can't lose. Money makes money unlike the poor who borrow at 19%. Inflation benefits the wealthy because their assets go up in value and then that "perceived wealth" gives them access to more cheap money as collateral.
lot of people have lot of heart disease, in america and most western countries, and now even (or especially) in the global south.

my first reco, based on a couple years of reading, is go 'whole food plant-based' diet -- i.e. vegan and also subtracting oil (along with too much fat, generally) - and of course drastically reducing sugar. in theory that reverses the athleroslcosorosisisiisis (artery hardening), blockages, etc.

big or 'extreme' change, but not necessarily more extreme than getting stents.

the 'whole food plant based' label seems to be most healthy based on what i've read/seen.

I think you may have missed the part in my original comment where I said He even says that it was bad for both sides!.

Respectfully, my point was that the way the author (you?) left that company reads like it was a train wreck. To a level that I wouldn't look to the author for any advice on how to leave a company.

And what was the advice? Don't sabotage the company and don't give 10 months notice? If ten thousand people quit a job, how many would even imagine doing either of those things?
I am a single data point, but trying to be too helpful when I've decided to leave an organisation has almost always backfired on me.

My advice: do the bare minimum, so you're not considered a complete trash bag. Anything more might backfire on you in horrible ways.

> Even at the base rate of 1.5%, that seems high for a single activity no?

Well 1.5% is not too high if you ask me, it would be worth our time and money to tackle other emission sources which contribute 5% or more, not saying we should ignore airlines but forcing delays and harassment to airline travellers is not right.
You're missing that the company has the same information from a pool of other existing employees or candidates, and you do not. The information is not 50%, because you're in the dark about the state of the market - you're highly likely to be leaving money on the table. It's similar to why insider trading is illegal: one party is playing with non-public information.

We live in a world that is transitioning from harmful CO2 producing, carbon-based energy sources to one using carbon-free energy. At this point in time we all use some amount of "dirty" energy. All our energy consuming activities are "guilty" in proportion to their share of the total CO2 production. Air conditioning, aluminum smelting, gold mining,and holiday lights included. And at some point the future when energy sources are carbon-free this will not be true. We will be able to consume energy without blame.

The question is, in this future, will Bitcoin be celebrated or hated by those who hate it now? I think the later. Because ultimately all hate for it is politically driven by those who fear a loss of power that it could cause for them(or their political leaders, or thought leaders, or shepherds).
It does seem confusing. This is referring to changes which are now in beta. These do seem to be big changes, meant to be a different way of working with your entire repo.

AFAIK, projects has always been a sort of bolted on project management app. These newest changes in beta seem to be a quicker way to manage a high load of activity on a repo.

The text in my GH present the product as "Built like a spreadsheet, project tables give you a live canvas to filter, sort, and group issues and pull requests."

The spreadsheet idea is the key I think. Imagine that a spreadsheet like interface would be easier to managing a high volume of activity, rather than a click to form view.

Ok you’re right after further researching, I had mixed up a part which led to the incorrect notion.
> they can be helped by medical research and support for their parents.

Many people in the "autism rights" movement oppose these things, often with strident rhetoric. They view any "medicalization" of the condition they happen to share with their lower-functioning fellows as inherently inhumane.
Documentation continues to be the most undervalued and underappreciated part of open source while being absolutely essential for any project that cares about adoption.
I agree with the parent but I disagree with you.

I am a manager in a large tech company and we care about our employees. We will not fire/lay them off/relieve them of their duty for any reason or not reason. We treat them as we expect to be treated. We will support them if they have some unusual circumstances. We do this because it is the right thing to do, and because it makes business sense. These are not mutually exclusive.

Is that the same as saying there's no situation where people will be laid off or let go? No. But it would happen for a good reason.

In a previous large company a decision was made collectively to take a wage cut and not lay people off. Employees got stock options to make up for the cut. In the end that all worked out.

Being ruthless to your employees doesn't make business sense. Who wants to work at a place like that? Does everyone do that? Absolutely not.

It's true a company isn't a person, but a company is made of people, and decisions are made by people, and you want to work somewhere that has good people that give a damn. At least I do.

All that said ;) if you are leaving, I agree there's no reason to stretch it out. That doesn't help anyone. In any properly managed project any employee leaving isn't the end of the world. There should always be more than one person that know what's going on. Having someone sit around, like a Schrodinger's Cat, that is both there and not there, doesn't really help anyone. It just feels weird. The rules of the game are set (in your contract), you need to give a notice, you give this notice, you're done. We'll take you out for lunch. No hard feelings. People move on for all sorts of reasons.
I'd definitely be looking for other options. If the language is true, it's definitely inappropriate to be getting that kind of feedback this late in the project without a more friendly warning. Especially if I had put in the work / was capable.

My hunch is the words were more likely meant for OPs manager and the skip boss is just an ass. I'd be suspect of the manager, bit either way it seems ruined and I'd be looking at an exit.

It doesn’t confuse me, is just super disappointing. What you are saying is certainly real, that the mind has healing and destructive capabilities.

It’s interesting you say this stance may actually be more ‘scientific’. My grandmother had a large part in my upbringing, and she was a life long Christian Scientist (not to be confused with Scientology). She raised me on its principals. They are hard to articulate concisely, but your words are pretty close.

It’s almost like scientists want to ignore Mind, and try to describe the world only in terms of matter. They believe matter, all on its own, contains all the answers and all the Intelligence of the universe.

A Christian Scientist on the other hand, believes Mind is everything and matter is nothing. Love, Wisdom, Intelligence are all properties of Mind. So no wonder others are surprised or confused when it’s power over the material world is clearly demonstrated.

Sometimes I wonder if modern science has actually proven that matter is ‘nothing’. Think about it, if you look at an atom close enough under a powerful microscope, it becomes clear that it’s actually almost 100% open space!
what's your current background?
Yeah I'm sad about that too. I really dislike the official implementation because I can't easily see the function signature requirements.

Maybe w/ a VSCode extension but that means i can't read the signature a browser.
Once you start prompt-engineering, the answers, in seclusion look pretty great - and show some understanding of the domain.

Yet, if you donot do this - they end up spitting out some randomly associated phrases/answers. This is a problem when you're asking a model, a question who's answer you donot completely know. How do you trust it to give the right answer?

If you donot know the answer beforehand - you cannot prompt-engineer the model to give the "right answers".

"Expert systems" from the 80s and the 90s, were pretty good at giving the "right answers" inside a closed domain. Those were truly wonderful systems.
Yes, this is both the most misunderstood and the most amazing (and unpredicted?) thing about GPT-3 et al. You have to tell it who it is and what the rules are. And it gains or lacks knowledge depending upon who it thinks it is answering as. You’ll find that Stephen Hawking doesn’t have much to say about the Ninja Turtles while celebrities know nothing about black holes. It does not answer questions or have expertise unless you tell it that it is answering questions and has expertise. (And it is incredible that this is the case, and somewhat understandable that people don’t understand this.)
I've stayed in touch with people even with "short" notices (1 month in my case) even if my leaving was a surprise. It just means the managers were professionals and didn't make me miserable as I was leaving. In one case, my CTO was an absolute gem through my entire stint there. It falls as much on them for me to want to stay in touch
True, but in my sidebar in Github, I have an option for "Projects (Beta)" and "Projects." Confusing.

Post-PayPal Musk or for instance a big movie star risking every dollar of their life savings in a venture is different than the worker who has saved up their stake over 30 years.

2000’s Musk from his Paypal reputation can easily get a very lucrative job if things go completely to zero. Current day Musk can make six or seven figures just by sending a couple tweets. The movie star with nothing other than their name land a job or six or seven figure deal. They’re never really risking it all.
I’m not happy with any of it. The government doesn’t need that much power. It’s insane that this is even a discussion.
