Anyone who doesn’t like crypto doesn’t have to play with it. It’s a tiny blip of nothing in size when compared to actual markets, and the “crime” that exists in crypto is nothing compared to what large banks facilitate for drug kingpins and oligarchs every single day.

Let this weird parallel financial system develop for another decade and see what comes out of it. Might actually solve some problems.
That usually happens because people use stimulants to accelerate energy burn and it dries you out, and when your body, especially your mouth, get dry, you will get bad breath immediately. If you want to test this out for yourself, try brushing your teeth while you feel very dehydrated. Your breath will smell bad soon after.
You realise it's commonplace *not* to have weekends in China, right?

On the basis of your logic that's a consequence of the lack of union and organised labour
If you always prioritize learning the "important" stuff, it's gonna suck the joy out of your life and your kid's life.

Kids learn by imitating. If they see you learning the terminal, they ask you how to use it. The right thing to do is to show them.
You have options choose a pay structure as a union. There is not a single pay structure to which all unions must adhere.

The suggestion is that Joe and Sally must be paid the same even though Joe is "useless". That is not the case. When creating a union, you can choose a different pay structure. The Screen Actors Guild, for instance, has very wide variation in how much members are paid.
AirTags are sending a new kind of false alarm, report says
Yes, you would be compelled to support union actions, such as job action in support of collective goals you don't agree with, and get to pay for the right to do so as well. You would not be allowed to negotiate individual concessions for work or skill beyond the norm. Everyone is even more focused on "fair outcomes" (read: the same) than in any non-union environment.

We're not interchangeable cogs in some manufacturing machine; we're extremely skilled experts in the biggest seller's market of our careers. Why anyone would want to unionize right now is beyond me.
To be fair, you have to be a high school graduate to think the current nurse career path is a great idea. Entry level jobs were better before universities monopolized them.

Anybody who advocates for 1 indexing is insane
I use its inline text annotation feature to fill out PDF forms that don't have form data. It basically involves using a keyboard shortcut, drawing a box area with the mouse, typing the text and then another keyboard shortcut to actually render it.

You can reposition the box or resize it if text gets truncated or some of the original PDF is obscured.

> Unions are created because of unacceptable conditions

No. Unions are created because it gives workers several tools to counter the power imbalance inherent in the boss-worker relationship, the most immediate tool being collective bargaining.

Even in places where working conditions are acceptable—by some threshold of acceptable—unions still have a place. In Europe, for example it is not uncommon for the union to engage in outreach and mutual aid to education on labor rights and intervene when rights are violated.

In places where working conditions are not acceptable, the union does empower workers to rise up against their bosses for better conditions, this is enabled through solidarity between workers. After the conditions are fixed, that solidarity is still required to maintain them.
What do GANs have to do with GPT-3? Isn't GPT a Transformer-based autoregressive model?
First sentence is true. Second is not, as is the third. I believe you don't know what you are talking about. A software engineer for example writes code that scales across thousands of systems and might be (human) language independet. A SQR tests samples of searches if they match google quality standards. As this cannot scale across all websites it is done with a subset of the web, like a one in a million ratio. It has to be done by 5 people to get an average so it is independent from one rating = one result. And it has to be done in context to countries / cultures.
Yes, I'd strongly second this.
Interesting theory. I use Dvorak and this didn't pick up anything I was typing.
> Sure, but the company's interests are almost completely opposed to yours in most ways

I'm sad that you think this, and would urge you to analyze your situation to see if it's really true. My one piece of advice is that companies seek to minimize cost centers, but invest in profit centers. Get out of the former and in to the latter.
Maybe you forget about them.

I never noticed myself doing it either. But after learning of Emacs (and MacOS) "transpose" shortcut C-t (aka Control-T on macs), I find I use it about once every 1-2 weeks.

It's not even faster than deleting the word and re-typing it, no. It's just funny.
This will be the first time in my life getting a new car. I usually go for used, but in this market, one or two year old cars are not much cheaper than new ones. So new it is.

I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the new gadgets like automatic lane centering.
I don't know why you're so confident. All of these things can contribute to inflation.
Too bad JS is single threaded. And the overhead of WebWorkers (multi process) makes it too expensive for all but some niche workloads.

Would be great to eventually have different backends for this, like Java had where the app looked native in Windows, Gtk, etc. One could even think of having a TUI backend besides an HTML or Canvas backend.

That would be restricting of course when one needs features available in only one backend and developers could opt-in for more control and require a certain backend like Gtk or not require but detect the backend and get extra features.
But even if you're just modifying a DCA schedule slightly (buying a little early/more when things feel particularly cheap, or buying a little later/less when things feel expensive) -- doesn't the same problem exist: that those adjustments typically cause a worse outcome than if you didn't apply them?

Maybe some people have a better crystal ball than others, but if we just look at the average case where studies favor vanilla DCA, I have to imagine that the reasons (why DCA wins) will prevail regardless of the extent that they're applied. But if your skill is enough above average that it's helpful to deviate, go for it...
But it sure helps.
OP wasn't conflating the two.
This basically explains how I began. My parents had DOS and Windows 3.11 machines and I wanted to get at the games. Eventually the games became boring and I explored the OS and other programs. This eventually turned into an IT career (after a decade or so of additional unimportant stuff).
> Does that mean I don't deserve to have the bargaining power for the best deal for myself?

No, I do not believe you are entitled to a wealth transfer from people who are better at your job than you are. (Or, to put it another way, you're certainly free to do a little collective bargaining if you'd like, but the World's Greatest Widget Engineer has no reason to join your union.)
It's not, supervisors are excluded from union organizing protections.
As a technical nitpick, the M2 Bradley has a 25mm main gun, not 30mm.
Some of us are genetically unable to process saccharin, aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. If I have any of those, I can taste it for hours and hours afterwards as it circulates and recirculates within the body. I assume it gradually gets excreted by my kidneys.

At high dosages there is some nausea.

I once bought a bottle of soft drink that had no indicators like 'Diet' or 'Sugar Free' on the label. I drank all of it, about 700 mL. An hour or so later, I had the distinctive 'sweetener taste' in my mouth along with some nausea. Because I avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague, I was temporarily puzzled by this. I thought back over my day, and worked out that I had had that bottle of soft drink. I dug the bottle out of the bin and examined the label for the ingredients list. There I discovered that most of the sugar in the soft drink had been silently replaced by artificial sweetener, most likely as a cost reduction.
yes but in that case the Fed rode to the rescue and delivered the greatest bull market in US history. There's absolutely no way the next decade looks like the last so this is a poor comparison.

As far as rebalancing --- you may have noticed stocks and bonds falling in unison this year, so rebalancing is not much help.
This is arguably an improvement over their previous focus, adding thousand-dollar consumable ships with the hopes that their high-rolling whales would keep them laughing all the way to the bank.
Aphantastic here to say I have always had pretty great touch typing. In high school I would touch type on a HW keyboard phone - great to reply to texts while looking at my teacher for their presentation.

I do make mistakes but I don't feel particularly slow or error prone. As I said elsewhere I like to use the C-t command to fix letter swaps and I get them definitely less than once per normal day.

I have a Raspberry Pi Pico on a Pico Explorer Base. On top of that, I added two segment number display breakout boards (mainly because they remind me of old LCD calculators, or miniaturized sport score boards).

A while back, someone in my neighbourhood threw out a box of tubes of various IC chips. A really large variety of interesting ones, some that I've never heard of before. I spent some time researching what each of them do, and downloaded the spec sheets for each of them.

So now I'm writing code that demonstrates what they all do. Some are nearly identical, except for example, leading versus tailing edge triggers, and that sort of thing. It's really teaching me a lot about something I used to think I knew fairly well.

The LCD-styled number boards, and Explorer Base's built in screen, buttons, LED, and piezo buzzer make for some interesting ways to explore the chips. Once I get a certain pattern going with the experiments, I'll be uploading videos and code to demonstrate them.

As a result of this project, I've been deeply learning Python and a few of the libraries. Every step of the way is exploratory, so it is super educational, and keeps me busy on something that has absolutely nothing to do with my day job.
Companies that are not WFH flexible will be less competitive in the jobs market. It’s that simple.
Good examples. Raters have - afaik- to assume multiple possible intentions on two word searches (and general searches on one). This results in better ratings for results (top 10 generally) that partially match different search intentions. so for "pandas databases" it would match the panda python libraries, but also databases literally of pandas ... and maybe a company that is called pandas and has databases. And this is the reason why we can never have "pure" results (in most cases) for a specific search, because the algorithm and the search rating is aiming for result-topic-diversity most of the time (if not all of the time).
Lol I would not have guessed Mac would have a shortcut like that!

The CREV folks are working on a distributed solution to the code review problem:

That's using depleted uranium though, so I'm not surprised that's an expensive round.

I'm looking up the M830 (HEAT), which is "just" explosives (with a bit of electronics), and that's closer to $1000.

So my $500 estimate was definitely under the price of USA's ammo... but I'm pretty sure Russian ammo is cheaper.

Huh, maybe it has more to do with whether you type without looking or not?

Given that global warming will cause the global economy to contract one way or another within the next 100 years (either we willingly contract to soften the blow, or keep going and producing more greenhouse gases until a massive crash), I really don't think this is the right time to think in these terms.
I agree. Have you tried palemoon?
My reading was this should be read as "the colloquial term X is typically used to designate objects that fall in military jargon in the class Y".

That is: GP translates from colloquial to jargon. Since these are different, in particular, semantics of words change, this definition is not recursive.
My company will pay me more if I work from home in a different city that also doesn't have a local office or any of my team nearby.

Because the collective bargaining power of people who prefer to work in offices has been shattered and the remote workforce is fighting back as a collective. There's a lot of drama because the stakes are incredibly high. Pro-office workers had successfully promoted the idea that their model of work should be subsidised by an average of 10 hours a week of unpaid labour (called commuting) and massive government infrastructure spending. That is asking workers to sacrifice north of a year of their lives unpaid. Somebody going from a WFH job to a 1 hour commute at the same salary is de facto taking a massive hourly paycut in the middle of high inflation while having their work hours greatly extended. It's easier to push for a change in work conditions than an increase in pay because working in an office is such a massive inefficiency that cutting it is the easiest place for a company to save money. "Voting with your feet" is less useful than getting a bunch of others to vote with theirs.

Collective action being used to bargain a better deal for workers is a simple enough concept.
I think the majority of people enjoy driving. Driving is fun. Sure, traffic sucks, but the actual act of driving comes with lots of pleasures. Most people don’t seem eager to give up driving, nor are many people ready to hand over control to AI.

I’m a transportation planner, and for many years my specialty was bicyclist & pedestrian planning and safety. I would follow autonomous vehicle news, but always through that lens. In addition, I have sat through lectures, webinars, and sales pitches that tout our wonderful autonomous future. And lemme tell ya, there is little to no mention of all the road users who are not in vehicles. Countless renderings and animations that do no account for our most vulnerable users. It smells like mid-20th century transportation planning mentalities that is completely engineer-driven. Very narrow-focused and regressive.

My coworkers and I enjoyed sitting around and coming up with countless difficult-to-solve scenarios (that my tech friends would look at and say “eh, sounds interesting and solvable”) for AV developers to contend with. And despite pressure from our “future forward” marketing coworkers to focus on this sector, it feels nowhere close to really being ready (20-30 years maybe?).

Anyway, I do think the focus on “allowed in some places” is interesting. I have some trouble seeing “road systems will eventually co-evolve with automated driving” coming to fruition given the glacial pace of road system evolution.
These are called ‘crocodile tears’
Buy all the time. Only reliable way to win.
Make no mistake, that's still their primary focus.
Probably just because of the title of the post, this made me think of Terse (terse.com).

Wow, I wonder if Jim Neil really is still selling it (it looks like he is). I wonder if it still comes on an 1.44MB diskette (http://terse.com/neildeal.htm#whatget) :-D

I never used it, nor saw it in use by anyone else. I just remember coming across it multiple times when looking at PC assembly language books and tools.
I think their analogy is that your investment in the Prussian/Holy Roman Empire/Carthage stock market can still end up ruined regardless of time.
Yes, social security is collectivist. When you do something collectivist like this you have to be very careful about edge cases because they're rarely self correcting.

It doesn't matter how much money you've saved up over your career if there's no production to spend it on. This is about paying for you, but that means someone has to be there to do trade goods/services for your money to make getting paid meaningful.

Also you seem to think I'm some retired boomer. I'm unmarried, in my 20s, and facing the same taxes and issues you are. The practical realities of retirement require people be there to continue production. Otherwise we'll just have to keep working until we die no matter how we label or slice things.

And again: by not having kids you're taking that payout early. This prevents you from getting paid twice.
SQR is used to test if google search results are "right" across most searches, not if a website is "right" in general. Rating of a site from the point of google relies on other data points like speed, support of https, links to the site (aka page rank) and a lot more. Have a look at the SQR Guide (PDF Link in my comment above) for examples how Google classifies information results. (Especially the YMYL - Your money or your life classification and Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T))
The behaviour, motivation, and goals of individuals (including your boss and CEO) working for a business very rarely has anything to do with the goals of the business itself. There is a lot of pretend going on, but that is mostly just surface BS. Why do you think CEO’s spend billions buying back shares instead of using that money to invest in new products and other innovations that will make the business more successful long term? Could it perhaps be (gasp! horror!) that they care more about personal enrichment than making the business successful long term?

"I’m reminded that in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, tourists would travel around with hand-held, slightly convex mirrors called Claude Glass. If you turned yourself away from a beautiful landscape and looked instead at the landscape’s reflection in the Claude Glass, it was said to look more beautiful, like a painting. Thomas Gray wrote that only through the Claude Glass could he 'see the sun set in all its glory.'" (John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed)

I have not done the math, but "not too bad" is gonna mean higher than people think.

Looks like a "devil is in the details" effort.

Maybe if drivers didn't want their hearing damaged they'd push for horns that were quieter outside the car too. After all the parent's comment merely says that horns should be as loud inside the car as outside — not louder. Currently, horns are externalized and so drivers don't care how loud they are. By internalizing the cost, they'd care enough to lower it. Or go deaf. Their choice. But at least it's a choice they'd care about.
I know! I'm so glad I didn't learn anything unimportant as a kid. My brain would have become all full up and it'd be too full to learn the important things later on.
Can you please recommend an open source codebase that uses Julia + CUDA and that can be used to learn that combination? I am considering starting a CUDA-related project and Julia is a serious contender, but I am scared to hit too many rough edges.
Thanks for the tip. Yeah that’s exactly what I was concerned about. I’ll definitely try pushing back and see what happens from there.
I misread "join a union" as "join the union." Literally I mistook one article for another, which is what I said.

I feel like you're kinda throwing stones in a glass house here by imparting a whole bunch of really bizarre motives to me (I certainly didn't call -- nor did I think anyone was -- an idiot), apparently not reading my entire post, and then accusing me of not reading things charitably. I can assure you I am a fallible human being capable of misunderstanding things people say without malice.

Many people just plain don't know that unions (at least in north american blue collar work) are often not open to even middle management being members. I was simply trying to add information to the thread.

Anyways, deleting the part of the post that made a mistake would have made all the replies awfully confusing.
Default deny egress is an important step in limiting impact. It can be tough though.
There are multiple problems with the claim that a lack of evidence for intelligent life makes it more likely that it doesn't exist.

First, the further out we look, the less recent our data. Every event we observe that's more than 200 light-years away happened before slavery was abolished in the U.S., and well before Earth's first radio emission.

I'm not saying we shouldn't base conclusions on evidence, but I will say that our ability to gather _current_ data about our surroundings is limited to an infinitesimal fraction of the universe. Worse, it degrades with distance. Bacteria were there, but we couldn't see them for a long time. (They were theorized, though, their existence reasoned out and later proved with evidence)

Second, unlike bacteria intelligent life is...well, you know. Suppose we're the last ones to the interstellar party, or at least not the first. We come in, blasting radio waves like a toddler, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. No signal hygiene whatsoever. Our neighbors on the other hand likely learned a long time ago to hide their presence from all but those they trust, and certainly from those on a lower technological playing field.

If the intelligence we're trying to prove can consciously avoid us finding out about them, then taking absence of evidence as evidence of anything becomes suspect.

Of all the intelligences that could exist - not just those we could detect, mind you - what percentage of those do you think are more advanced than us?
I don't know about Apple, but I do have a ton of experience consulting for multiple F500's. Many at these companies who want people to come back to work are just middle managers who find it harder to justify their jobs since remote work has become so prevalent. They simply can't grasp how work can get done without them telling people what to do. And of course the easiest way to do that without requiring much thought is to see their underlings in person.

What is this based on? Every indicator suggests we’re still in a risk-on mode as an economy. It’s why we have inflation.

Covid relief prevented deflation. Thus when things went back to normal we saw large inflation.

You also had PPP loans which went to businesses that saw growth! And those business owners got huge payouts used to buy houses and assets
