> What I want is a team to learn from and grow. Not some teachers pets that sit behind zoom calls making sure they know exactly what’s “on the test” so they make themselves look better.

I’m not sure what your role is but zoom calls really don’t mean anything as an IC. Not unless you’re responding to or handling an outage and debugging on the fly.

What you produce and how well it works is how you’re measured. Documentation and written communication is equally as important.

Say, for sake of argument, that I'm the World's Greatest Widget Engineer. I'm worth more than the average employee at my company, so I can get stuff I want by negotiating individually with my employer.

On the other hand, if a union imposes some broad agreement on the company under threat of strikes, I can't convince my company to break that agreement on my own because I'm not more valuable than the entire rest of the company combined.

A union's interests are probably not completely aligned with mine—they're focused on protecting the majority of employees, who are probably not as valuable as me—so forming a union could very easily lead to me getting less of the things I want. For example, if a union convinced a company to pay/promote based on seniority rather than performance, that could be good for most of the people in the union but bad for me.

I use my cast-iron pan before I leave for work, then I shave my face on the way using a ladies' electric single-foil type.

Actually these came with a trimmer on each side of the foil which you need when taking down a full bush, but I remove these and just use the foil.

It takes a lot of passes but I have plenty of time while traveling.

Brush & blow it out completely every time.

I tried reversing the procedure and shaving before I left for work, but the cast-iron skillet proved about as useful as tits on a bull while commuting.

Fortunately, the lady who gave me the shaver and the skillet decided not to use them while commuting herself, so here I am the lucky one.

In one example, American poet Andrew Brown asked the software to take the perspective of a cloud gazing down on two warring cities. GPT-3 delivered a rhyming poem that began, not uncharmingly, with “I think I’ll start to rain.” Stephen Marche, writing an article for The New Yorker, assigned GPT-3 maybe the trippiest poem in the English canon: Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s fifty-four-line “Kubla Khan”—an opium dream interrupted in the middle of its composition in 1797 and never completed. GPT-3’s mission? Finish the fragment. What the program fantasized was so sophisticated (“The tumult ceased, the clouds were torn, / The moon resumed her solemn course”) that readers unfamiliar with the original poem might have had a hard time discerning where Coleridge ended and the computer began.

This is not robots writing poetry. This is poets using computers.

Did you ever hear of "Union Busting"? Do you know that Ronald Reagan as President signed some of the most anti-union legislation ever?

One must be careful not to use 'union' as a catch-all to describe all worker groups.

At the moment, the Capitalists are extracting as much as possible from US Citizens through excessive price hikes (much over underlying inflation - this is well-documented). They will continue to do this until the median American sinks even lower in standard of living.

Your 'rule of thumb' is exactly right-on -- the first part. But the 'entrenched' --- we have to be careful of using the Crony Capitalist talking points frames. The point of the Capitalist is to keep as big a pile for himself, all others (except shareholders) be damned. That's how it works. It is a rapacious, greedy, antiquated way to organize human labor, production, and lives. I am hopeful that younger generations can recognize the brainwashing they are receiving from the Corporate Media, and can break free from these chains, and, eventually, replace this system of institutionalized greed with something that more equitably permits sharing of our resources.

That gamer terminology is a pet peeve of mine. A gamer's tank fills the real-world infantry role. It can hold territory and take a lot of punishment, but it doesn't do much damage to the enemy. The D&D melee rogue, on the other hand, is much like a real-world tank. The rogue moves fast and hits hard but is vulnerable without infantry support.

An ideal camera captures the light rays passing through a pinhole. It generates a 2D image where each pixel corresponds to a ray, and the X and Y coords determine the direction of the ray.

Because every ray passes through the same pinhole point, you can't do things like change the depth-of-field or move the camera once the image is created. (An ideal pinhole camera has everything in focus)

A light-field camera captures the light rays passing through an entire area. This generates (in theory) a 4D image. Still 2 degrees of freedom for ray direction, but an extra 2 degrees for ray position.

Because the rays pass through different points, you can re-project a light field image to create 2D images with different depth of field, or different virtual camera positions.

Socialism is what bootstrapped many ancient human communities, even if they didn't know the name

It is known (and sustained by scholars) that many societies of the past were socalist in nature, hell, even Jesus teachings are considered socialist.

It is by far more popular and spontaneous than feudalism, because it worked.

There are both good arguments for in-office work as for work from home. The first might give you better access to interaction with colleagues, the second more flexibility, less communte and often better productivity due to less interaction with colleagues :).

No doubt there is a huge challenge for companies how to organize their work as they are reopening their offices. In general, I think they should allow for more time. No one likes to be forced back to the offices, but as more and more people return to the office, they might gain more attraction as a place to meet people again. The 3 day in-office work week might happen on its own quickly enough, forcing people might be quite counter-productive.

The big elephant in the room in the case of Apple surely is their shiny new headquarter. They spent like 5 billion on it, and from what I read it wasn't even popular before the pandemic. Because it was designed by upper management, but somehow the people who should work there were not asked. With that amount of budget, it should be possible to design offices that people desparately want to work in. Hint: open offices aren't this :p
Ask HN: Why do VDOM implementations always use function calls instead of data?
Example from Mithril.js:

m("main", [
m("h1", {class: "title"}, "My first app"),
m("button", "A button"),
])

React does the same (after the JSX is compiled), and I'm not aware of any that don't use function calls, vs just plain object data:

{
tag: "main",
children: [
{ tag: "h1", attributes: { class: "title" }, children: [ "My first app" ] },
{ tag: "button", children: [ "A button" ] }
]
}

Is it just for brevity, or is there some deeper reason I'm missing?
Web Development for Beginners – A Curriculum
Hi Gluten, I never wrote a real-time game, so I'm curious about a lot of things.

* Does the server have a tick rate and it updates clients at a set interval, or does it only update when things happen?

* Did you ever run into any issues getting enough throughput from the server? e.g. maybe too many events happening at once to update everyone?

* Do you have to manage situations where two clients have a different view of the game state (due to extra latency for example)? If so, how do you resolve it? For example, I know that Team Fortress 2 follows the rule for guns that "if the shooter thinks it hit, then it hit", which means that people get shot around corners sometimes.

I'm working on a turn-based game using websockets which has been hard enough, a real-time game seems much harder to make! Thanks for sharing!
It is stupidity. You will find incredible intelligent people behind every fringe theory; it’s just they aren’t particularly smart about this particular area. There is a lot of examples, from Jordan Peterson to Aquinas.
The vast majority of articles that get deleted are speedy deleted. This can be due to things like obvious vandalism (things like teenagers putting swearwords etc.) , articles about random people that are really just a breach of privacy and not helping anyone, strange conspiracy theories, advertising, spam, self-aggrandizement, copyright violations, etc. In short: Things that don't belong in an encyclopedia. This is why the history is normally hidden as well. [1]

The articles that get any sort of discussion at all are the edge cases where a single patroller by themselves can't make up their mind. And due to the nature of being edge cases, they can indeed attract quite some discussion!

If an article is at all redeemable, it is (should be) kept and expanded instead.

[1] Normally you want to keep around a copy of "deleted" content in case someone wants to do some sort of check or audit, or might perhaps want to salvage some data that might still be useful. In certain extreme situations like particularly egregious copyright violations, doxing or someone putting up CP or what-have-you, page history access can be denied to admins as well.

> How companies consider that a cost center is beyond me. But I’ve seen them do it.

I may have an answer: Because of our fetish with metrics. It is possible to measure the cost of an engineer or computer programmer. This can be assigned a cost which is arbitrarily precise. Calculating teh benefit is usually not so easy. So the decision makers (rational beings, just mislead by an intellectually bankrupt management philosophy) concentrate on what they can count.

I understand the "no original research" policy, there needs to be verifiable sources. What I don't get is the tendency to discourage experts from writing about the subjects they know the best. I'd much rather have someone who is "almost certainly right" have the final say on an article.

Of course, verifying that someone actually is an authority would be a huge ordeal in itself...

> people who'd been tasting wine for longer (i.e. people who had more experience) would be able to tell the difference.

I’m not so sure of this. Netflix had a fantastic documentary called “Som” that followed a group of people who were about to take the Master Sommelier exam (roughly fifty total in the whole world) and even these extremely experienced people would get even basic things like the varietal completely wrong quite frequently.
I feel like it's fine. "Bots" refer to software entities all the time, and there's no meaningful physical action needed for writing a poem.

Both the Bradley and the Abrams are AFVs, the issue is that most people aren’t familiar with the term AFV and they think that anything with armor and a gun is a tank.

As far as the AFV totem pole goes then the “Tank” sits on top it’s designed to pretty much fight and kill everything else on the battlefield.

The MBT is an evolution of the Tank concept the reason why most nations don’t have multiple tank classes today is that modern technology allows one to build a highly mobile, heavily armored vehicle with just about the biggest gun around.

Whilst historically at least during the first 5-6 or so decades of the “Tank” you had to make compromises which lead to wider range of “Tank” classes.
There are mechanics that protect assets in player-owned (and therefore destructible) structures, so long as the station is properly fueled and maintained in known space. Your stuff gets whisked away to a nearby NPC station, where several days later you can retrieve it for a certain percentage of its assessed value.

Of course, should the station owners fail to maintain said station (you'll get a notification if the structure goes low-power), or you're bold enough to park assets outside of known space (wormholes, Pochven, etc)...upon destruction about 50% (random chance, the Loot Fairy is quite capricious) of your stuff can wind up in a big debris cloud affectionately known as a "loot piñata".

Destroying an abandoned station is quite easy, the real problem is snapping up the haul before rival raiders swoop in for a fight.
It's more like joining a class action settlement.
The liberalism / leftism divide is actually a return to traditional terminology that dates back to post-revolutionary French politics. Leftists essentially want answers to the 'social question' (welfare) while liberals essentially want to protect 'liberties', primarily economic liberties.

The weird hybrid between economic liberalism and light social democracy represented by the US Democratic party is basically an artefact of the electoral system, it's not actually a coherent politics. That's why there are such big divisions in the party itself.
I don't know much about Europe, but are comparing wages during residency, or after? Residents have 80+ hour weeks, $200k+ debt, and only a $50k salary.

It takes a very long time (undergrad + med school + residency + more to specialize) before the perks of being a doctor kick in in the US.
> The managers were told they were being fired as part of an “organizational change,”

Nit: That language implies that they were laid off, not fired. The timing is a stupid move from Amazon, and these employees will likely be able to make a good case in court.

Being from Europe I have mixed feelings about unions here in the US...

On the one hand I think they are essential to tilt the uneven power dynamic between employer and employee towards the employee, and are thus dearly needed!

On the other hand, unions seem to often go overboard with impractical demands and are more political than in Europe, which damaged their reputation - I think - and contributed to their demise over the past few decades. Which is truly a shame!
(I'm reminded of alleged cases where only a union worker is allow to plug a power plug into an outlet at exorbitant prices. But this might a rumor too.)

Any opinions here?

This is a classical case of "who watches the watchers". If Wikipedia is not to be made "more democratic" it should at least be possible for the "demos" (people) to point out the flaws in the organisation. While such a system can be gamed just like the current editorial system has been gamed successfully by turning parts of Wikipedia into a propaganda channel it is one more step to be taken for those who wish to game the system. In the absence of a neutral arbiter [1] some form of meta-moderation could help to point out the flaws.

Democracies don't have to make encyclopedias but they can criticise those who make (or, in this case, break) them.

This kind of thing dawned on my once when going shopping. I was walking into a supermarket, checked my phone and saw that it had a low battery. I wasn't carrying cash, and I suddenly realised that my "money" could run out of battery and I'd have no way to pay. It's one part of why I buy physical books now (mostly second-hand online) - so I don't even have to think about recharging my book.
Yo!

My background: developer that spends his personal coding time on personal IP. I have never thoroughly explored contributing to open source projects, but am becoming more interested. Out of my last 1,614 commits counted by GitHub (a lot more really since most PRs merged as squash-commits) only 26 commits are public.

As a developer, I quite like it. The idea of getting some tailored recommendations for free sounds worth it to me. I am wondering how you are going to tailor the recommendations? If you would do so by looking through my public commit history, it would probably be way off. If you had an optional survey, I would be inclined to fill it out if it got me some interesting recommendations.

As a member of a small (~30 person) US-based software development agency that is in growth mode, I really like this mainly for recruitment purposes. We have a few open source projects that support our client and private development efforts, and these open source projects are written in languages and stacks that we use in-shop. We recently open-sourced them, so nearly all commits come from in-house. If we could pay $10 to get our open source projects in front of people, maybe (1) the projects get contributors, (2) we get inquiries regarding our open positions, and/or (3) we reach out to contributors to apply.

Google Forms Web3 Team to Tap the Market's 'Tremendous Potential'
Thank you for all of this information! I've roughly followed it as a marketer (YMYL ranking factors from the guidelines type stuff) and as an observer-- it is interesting that the shifts lined up with the Porat era.

The two people I knew who did Leapforce also did human powered answers for ChaCha(?) where they were paid per answer versus an hourly rate, and then migrated to Leapforce at a lower date. They were both in US and I would remember them complaining on AIM over task availability-- sometimes they'd have work, others they wouldn't. They would take breaks from playing Counterstrike to see if new tasks were available and disappear if there was work available. With Leapforce, were there different rigid time allotments per task? E.g. 30 seconds to classify an image vs 2 minutes for ranking a webpage to be shown as a search result? If you were flagged as a low performer, was there any recourse or remediation, or just getting disabled and hoping for a review?
Thanks for the pointer - I'll have a look.
Indeed, but it’s a little funny coming from Isaac Brock.
Not terribly surprising. While other companies realized that they will lose this fight, Apple dug in their heels. While some provided flexibility and retained talent, Apple decided that the last two years never happened and that the talent that will walk as a result of this idiocy is expendable. The results will speak for themselves in the coming months.

I've replaced the blade on mine like once in years... I'm honestly surprised by the different experience. Maybe it's because I use a trimmer on the lowest setting before trying to do a real "shave", so any stubble is short.
Depends how much you want to abstract hardware and software to define "machine".

But the words roots trace back to the old Church Slavonic word "robota" for servitude/forced labor/drudgery [0].

In that context even a calculator could be considered a "robot".
