You clearly have some preconceived grudge towards Amazon or any big employer. They didn't die because they were "working to death." They died because the building collapsed. They deserve scrutiny for that that, but so do the building codes.
In the spirit of Fediverse: the guy has a PeerTube channel with the same content, you should probably link that instead of YT :p
From what I've seen on NextDoor (which is -kinda- moderated) as a lurker, we really don't want a town square online lol. You will like your neighbors way less. Too many people feel that having a strong opinion on a subject also makes them an expert on said subject.
This is the point of unions, because atomized workers don't have much leverage by themselves to negotiate with an entities that have already consolidated their interests and power in the form of corporations. Unions help workers consolidate their interests and power in order to leverage them against the consolidated interests and power of their employers and negotiate better terms of employment.
It would be trivial for a network of this size to code general rules for multiplication.

At a certain point, when you have enough data, finding the actual rule is actually the easier solution than memorizing each data point. This is the key insight of deep learning.
Ah, of course, Dave Clark, the man who was famously known as "the Sniper" because he'd lurk around warehouses to catch people that were taking breaks, and also was directly behind Amazon deciding to pick a fight with Bernie Sanders.
> The USSR was forced cooperation. The US is voluntary. Which economy fared better?

This is a false choice, because both force cooperation, and neither "is voluntary". How they do so, when, and how much, is what's different. That's the trouble here, it's not a "force or don't" choice. If you don't force anything, you'll have a bad time. Evidently, if you force too much, you're also likely to have a bad time. There's a lot of room—and not just on that one-dimensional measure—between the two extremes.

> It makes me sad to read so many comments from people who are convinced that the only way to get cooperation is through force.

You don't need to be sad, then, because you're reading that into it.

This comment on an older Mastodon thread is just as relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17789302

I've also commented before as to why I don't believe decentralization is a solution to the problems of current social media and instead introduces problems of its own: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20317513

Mastodon is something I want to like but it honestly find it complicated and annoying to use. Do I need a new account for each instance being the main question? If so that just sounds tedious. It's one the main benefits of Reddit, needing one account to interact with many "forums." Also, generally speaking, I found a lot of people on Mastodon are the type of people that were banned from Twitter. It's like Reddit and Voat.
I've used Satechi (a company in San Diego, CA) without complaints - every port I've needed: https://satechi.net/products/type-c-multi-port-adapter-with-...
Frankly, even besides "toot", Mastodon isn't a particularly appealing name either.

It can't be that simple because I had a pretty cheap model a few years ago that had a replaceable sata m.2 drive.
Someone came once to our department and I got tasked with talking to him. He had a big paper with "gravity=levity" and a bunch of marine diagrams, and claimed he could get free energy from sinking (partially hollow) things to the bottom of the ocean and then taking advantage of their buoyancy to drive something on the way back up. Rather than launch into conservation of energy or expound on gravitational potential, I objected "Err, doesn't it take energy to turn them around?" He answered, "Not more than I am getting out of it." I slunk away and left him to his devices.

The opposite of 'agreeable' is 'disagreeable' not 'selfish' - that one would make this assumption I think says something about worldview/perspective.
This, plus most people are “bad” or “good” in some environments and not others. If it’s a bad fit, it’s a bad fit. Worrying about whether you’re the problem or other people are the problem is rarely productive, and sticking it out in an environment that’s bad for you is (often) going to set you back professionally.
RV Parks?

I see RV rental spaces on Craigslist in the $400-700 range.
It's very realistic IMO. But just like local subreddits and FB groups, a lot of it comes down to having diligent and reasonable mods.
Krapp is right though, "tooting" is also slang in some places for farting.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hZUvuvfDQg

It's also old slang for a drinking bender:

Mastadon really should have done a little more due dilligence before deciding on that term.
You seem to assume that a dry approach necessarily leads to not understanding the context.

TL;DR of the below: people differ in the way they learn, and anybody who disregards the dry approach simply because it doesn't work for the majority, is doing a disservice to someone it does work well for.

I've personally prepared for my high school and university math tests and exams (those consisting of mostly math "problems") by only focusing on the "dry theory" from mostly "dry" textbooks. I understood the context perfectly well, and I had multiple tests and written exams focused on traditional applied math problems where I came up with "novel" approaches by simply putting my dry knowledge to use (as in, approached a problem from theoretical definitions and theorems but completely not in the way they taught it or expected). I wasn't as fast as I would have been if I learned all the tricks of math problem solving vs just going from the dry theory (iow, I'd be getting B grades from very little preparation or even class attendance, but not for getting anything wrong, but just for not having the time to figure out everything).

But most people, teachers and professors included, seem to disregard people like me who are great at applying and seeing context from abstract theory. I never enjoyed practicing math problems just to be fast at math problems, but I very much enjoyed abstract theory building and application: my motivation was never competitive, at least not after 6th grade. For someone like me, it's not just "symbolic manipulation", but actually abstract concept manipulation.

In a way, I was seriously underserved by mathematics classes focused on different types of students than me. And this goes from primary school all the way to university.

So, if the goal is to find students like me, who are likely to excel at pure mathematics and won't have trouble applying it, we actually need a drier approach. Obviously, that's not the goal of primary education, but the same focus leads to less stellar outcomes even at higher levels of education.

What this article proposes is an even larger move in this direction, and people are arguing for it at all levels of education, without ever recognizing that there are people for whom the dry approach might work just as well, even if they are a minority.

You keep thinking im arguing that a degree makes society better off, I'm not arguing that. Im arguing the degree makes the holder better off.

One of the bizarre things is that some people, when they commit suicide, are concerned about leaving a messy corpse. They don't want to use a gun, or a knife, because it would leave such a mess. So instead, they chug a bottle of pills, immediately call 911 when they realize they don't want to die, and get their stomach pumped.

Unsatisfied with good suicide attempts going to waste, 4chan has found a method that's cheap, widely available, effective even with medical attention, and leaves the body completely unmarked.
Look, I'm actually a massive optimist on this topic and think we can get very far with large language models. Memory I think will actually not be that difficult to solve, optimizing for long series of actions will be a hard one though, as will making an AI that can reason in a representationally invariant and transferrable way (ie. something that can reason just as well about data in the form of images as text).

I'm not saying we're not seeing continuous improvements on performance on benchmarks from scaling up - we absolutely are. But "the end of the benchmarks" is not AGI - even if we have a tool AI/oracle AI that can perform at a superhuman level on benchmark tasks (which I think is absolutely doable within the current paradigm), we do not have a general AI.
That's exactly the same price as on the street/in a bar in Czechia. Considering the income difference, that's a good price!
That may be the fault of the UEFI implementation. Many are terrible - especially from the big OEMs. I keep rEFInd as my boot manager and let it deal with the rest. I also find a way to recover rEFInd if an OS sets its own bootloader as default. It may take trial of up to 5 different methods to find one that actually works.
The main thing Java beats other langs in by a huge margin is memory consumption.
While there certainly is something nice about plugging in a single cable, I just use a usb-c hub with a usb ethernet and a usb switch with my peripherals and then connect my screen directly

This is cheaper in the same way I don't use a KVM and instead change the inputs in my monitor (Also, I'd have to figure out what DP KVM supports G-Sync and 1440p 165hz).
Ha, I am in the same boat. I have an upcoming interview where the manager on the team, who did the initial screen, said it won't be Leetcode stuff.

At first blush, it was great to hear, but then I was like...what can I do to prepare? Off to Leetcode it is I guess...

Honestly wondering about the size of the effect of being black. It seems like a very particular data point to select. Strictly true for that 5-12 age group, but when expanded to everyone under 18, Black is the race with the lowest rate of suicides. White is 50% higher, American Indian is 200% higher, Asian/PI is slightly higher, according to CDC WISQARS.
Good news, energy storage has plenty of private funding, and mainly just needs to get built out, along with solar to charge it from. For serious bulk long-term storage it would be hard to beat ammonia, except that people will keep trying to buy up your stock to use for other things.

What needs work is economical ways to get carbon out of the air into a form where it will stay. I had thought moving surface water saturated with it down deep was a good idea, but apparently there is more down there than at the surface! So, scattering millions of tons of olivine on beaches and cropland might be the best we can do.

Do we really need AI for anything?
I'd second this.

Just think for a second about the overlap between “people who want to speak their mind in an exit interview” and “people who like arguing in online forums” and the comment disparity makes a lot of sense…
But the caste system was explicitly based on the idea that people in different "castes" cannot possibly relate to one another. By contrast, one of the most recurrent themes in Victorian-age fiction is the trope that even "low-class" people can oftentimes embody supposedly-'elite' moral values and standards of behavior a lot better than actual members of the elite do. Thus essentially flipping the whole idea of virtue signaling on its head.
Even more difficult for Uber and Lyft, since their workplace is distributed there can't be any picket line to cross. All you can do is yell loudly enough on social media that anyone who installs a specific app is a scab.
What's so special about the Ron Gilbert imprimatur? I think the first two games were good, but considering them as "auteur" works is wrong, since so much of what went into them comes from the contributions of many people (the art, small details and minor jokes, etc.). The overall plot and destiny of the characters is totally unimportant, not least because of its status as a farce.
This is a reply to both you and the person above you.

There aren't building codes that can stop a tornado, not unless you want military style bunkers everywhere. Tornado's have approx double the windspeed of hurricanes.

In tornado prone places life doesn't stop when there is danger nearby. Instead people go to the safest place they can, knowing it can only help for glancing blows, or weak tornado's.

I quote:

"Thus, to make a structure totally tornado-proof requires that the structure be designed to withstand both the impact of a one-ton boulder being hurled at it at 100-150 miles per hour as well as wind loads of 300 mph or more. This means you need a structure made out of either foot-thick reinforced concrete or two to three inch thick solid steel armor plate. Doors must be solid steel with reinforced frames and extra strong locking mechanisms (otherwise the storm will just suck the door open). No windows."
Computational proofs of integrity (STARKs, SNARKs) could detect silent data corruptions (at the cost of a ~1000x slowdown)

I wonder if we’ll see them used for large scale applications whose correctness is critical.
This is a great comment and I have respect for you, random internet person :)
I worked up to 60 hours a week (I'd say avg 50) from the time I was 13 years old making $6 an hour. It was backbreaking, grueling labor. But not a coal mine so no risk of black lung, so I guess everything is okay? Or maybe my parents should have taken advantage of economic opportunities that didn't exist (they looked, constantly, for options).

This was in the US. Most of the time I did my homework in school, cramming in assignments for second period during first period, then 3rd period hw during second period, etc. Child labor isn't dead, and if you truly think that everyone has the economic opportunities to avoid these circumstance then you don't have the scope of experience needed to accurately assess the state of society.

(And no, it wasn't a case of "well if you can't support children you shouldn't have them" The circumstances of the above situation came about long after I was born, though before I was 13)
There are alternative solutions available for those that don't like the Tailscale authentication model, including using Wireguard directly.

Tailscale does not need to be all things to all people, and especially not at the free tier for personal use. Adding extra complexity to the product would mean that it would no longer be the easy to use tool that it currently is.
According to CDC this is also true for youth. Males use firearms 53% of the time, females only 19%.
>We get fooled into thinking they've learned the structure of the world. But they've only learned the structure of text.

To what degree does the structure of text correspond to structure of the world, in the limit of a maximally descriptive text corpus? Nearly complete if not totally complete, as far as I can tell. What is left out? The subjective experience of being embodied in the world. But this subjective experience is orthogonal to the structure of the world. And so this limitation does not prevent an understanding of the structure.
Netherlands seems to be the Sea Level one, which its level is just what percent of people live below sea level (according to its label). Netherlands does lie either at or under sea level today, and they have a giant sea wall they recently spent $617 million to update and future proof it until only 2050[1]. As sea levels rise, some countries will be able to afford to do this, and others won't. To build one to protect New York City might cost $119 billion, for example[2] (and they've already spent $1.4 billion).

For the people who don't keep putting money building and maintaining giant walls to keep the sea out, yes those places will become unlivable.

For India it mostly shows up for the water stress index, and yeah, it seems to be having issues with water today[3]:

"India placed thirteenth among the world's 17 ‘extremely water-stressed’ countries, according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas released by the World Resources Institute (WRI). The country, followed by neighbouring Pakistan, was under ‘extremely high’ levels of baseline water stress."

"A region is said to be under ‘water stress’ when the demand for water there exceeds the available volume or when poor quality restricts use."

"The World Bank too had warned about the region’s water stress last year. Countries there were “withdrawing water from underground reservoirs faster than it could be replenished and were essentially living beyond their means,” it said."

So they're getting away with it right now because they haven't totally drained all the groundwater, but they're steadily depleting that. Eventually that won't be the case (especially by 2100), and that region will most likely become unlivable.

Well anyone can run an instance. Theoretically every user can run their own instance. So it's not architecturally incapable of being decentralized, but social behavior leaves it in it's current state. To me that's good enough, make something that can be as decentralized as people want it to be and let people use it how they use it.
This Is What Happens When There Are Too Many Meetings
I’ve been very happy with this OWC thunderbolt dock. No monitor outputs, but as someone who is juggling so many hard drives for video/audio projects - mostly running 3-2-1 backup protocol for my salaried job AND freelance clients AND personal work - the large number of ports and wall power are critical. I had so many problems with bus powered drives drawing too much and then randomly ejecting because I have too many plugged in. This thing solved it immediately.

On my M1 Mac mini, between the OWC dock and another dongle (bus powered) and the remaining ports on the Mac, I can run 10+ drives with no problem plus multiple peripherals. That may seem excessive, but when you’re juggling between drives trying to find old projects for people or trying to build a demo reel, it speeds up the process immensely. It also enabled me to consolidate a bunch of old 1 to 3 TB drives onto a couple of master 16 TB drives with everything in front of me at once, saving a ton of time, stress, and double checking.

Frankly it’s just nice not having to unplug something two or three times a day just to be able to plug in something else. I always have an available port now and it’s got me so much better organized.

Indeed. When you're talking about image, "hey guys it doesn't necessarily mean elephant farts" doesn't work.

Even ignoring that, the word "tweet" viscerally feels light, nimble, quick, and sharp. Toot feels heavier, duller, and more imposing. To end users, the interface is the software and no amount of technical or logistical impressiveness will overcome something being viscerally off-putting. It needs to become attractive in spite of that.
The "control of the device" hasn't been handed over to anyone. If you log into another account, or go into guest mode, GoGuardian will not be present. In fact, you couldn't find out if GoGuardian was
installed on another account you aren't logged into, because every account has all user data encrypted. The school won't be able to see anything about non cps.edu accounts - they don't know if they exist, what the email addresses were, etc.

There is no concept of installing or running programs outside of a login on ChromeOS. There is also only one form of device ownership, and that is device enrollment (which is not what is being described by OP), and the set of policies that are applied to enrolled device. Logging into an account cannot apply device policies.

cps.edu is who's enforcing that while you use a cps.edu account, you have to use their software (only while logged into that account or browser). BYOD devices are still yours and you can remove the account with a press of a button.
George Orwell’s ‘The Road to Wigan Pier’ is an argument for socialism in the social context of the time, and presents an intensely classist society, published 36 years after Victoria died.

It’s a very interesting book: a snapshot of how people lived, whose lives were rarely portrayed in literature.
