The semantic web feels like yet more yak shaving. Focus on adding value to people.

I know this cuz I was a big ra ra cheerleader for the semantic web 15 years ago.

But then I found it made no bloody difference in actually helping people.

I’d much prefer if we all spent our energy building better, smarter screen readers.
I can only speak for when I was a hiring manager and we called them bands, but it was essentially the same thing. We attached a band to every job posting and we would occasionally interview promising candidates and offer them the top end of a lower band or we'd offer them a more junior position with a promise of an early promotion review. Some took it, some didn't.
> There is a big difference between claiming that "you could just go in the backseat while the car drives itself", and calling your system Autopilot

How about calling your system Full self driving and then sticking with a promotional video that says the driver is only there for legal reasons
Mob wisdom and informed people betting with their money are two different things. Not saying the matter is 100% accurate, but better than what is normally called mob wisdom.
Inflation rose 8.6% in May, highest since 1981
Have you heard of "lamp gas"? It used to be delivered via cast-iron pipes to every house, factory, and street light. It was a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. There was no problem with embrittlement, because the pressure was low. Natural gas is today carried (in the same pipes, some places) at quite low pressure. Germany could start admixing H2 anytime, although feeding it to NG turbines would be a better immediate use.

Anyway aluminum is quite resistant to hydrogen embrittlement.
The worst thing in having too many people working on the product is increased code size / code change velocity.

Compile time per person and code understanding time per person grows linearly with the number of people (which grows exponentially as revenue grows), which means that the total time people are spending with understanding the code base & total compilation time for the code server grows quadraticly with number of engineers (+ exponentially with revenue).

Total code size should be kept under square root of number of engineers in an organization probably to keep product velocity OK, and engineers should spend significant time minimizing the number of changes in the code base after they have the first proof of concept.
If the CEO manages the three people and has the most skin in the game, this petition is actually a message to the CEO saying: you're doing a bad job / don't know what you're doing.

Not very strategic or well thought out.
I tried working at a company with non-technical founders and leadership. I'd never do it again.

It was like a poison when upper management didn't know how to hire competent engineering leaders. It seeps down into middle management and into the code and system architecture.

When you're an optimistic new hire you hope that things can change and you can be a part of it, but over time it becomes increasingly hard to imagine a future with a strong and wide enough cultural shift that the company could ever have the values that make working efficiently or building simple, scalable, reliable, adaptable software possible.
Kagi is honestly not good at all about local results. I use !g the most often when trying to find information about stores or restaurants. For all other "encyclopedic" knowledge, like Wikipedia (pinned), Stack Exchange, blogs, etc., Kagi has way less SEO spam than Google.
I wish all companies included pay ranges. When I was a junior / mid level dev I was lowballed more times than I care to admit. Nowadays if some recruiter messages me I ask for the range immediately, and I end the conversation if I don't get a straight answer.
You could check if the NFT was still valid by calling the smart contract directly if they provide public functions for it. No need for a published list by a centralized authority (beyond whatever you're using to call functions on a smart contract, like I'd probably use Etherscan if it's an ETH contract).

And calling read-only functions (doesn't write anything to the blockchain) doesn't cost anything.

I didn't think of this with my original post, but there are NFTs that are used for access to things that people already say "don't buy these on the secondary market, legacy, no longer used". Not too dissimilar of an idea. Those NFTs are still in those people's wallets but it no longer provides the benefits associated with it.

Like the old Premint pass, which gives you access to tools to help launch NFT projects. The description for the old pass says "DO NOT BUY THIS PASS. This pass has been replaced with the PREMINT Creator Key" and the banner image says "THIS PASS IS NO LONGER VALID": https://opensea.io/collection/premint
This is a hell of a lot of unsubstantiated mud slinging that really adds nothing to the conversation
I’m not a libertarian at all, I think taxes should be pretty high and there should be universal healthcare. Pretty silly I need to say that, though, and bringing it up is a non sequitur. I’m curious, do you think most non libertarians would agree with what you’re proposing?

But yeah, if you think forcing an ice cream shops to sell sides of broccoli (that nobody will order) to comply with some silly 20% law, we probably won’t get anywhere discussing. It takes a pretty active imagination to picture something like that having a positive outcome.
I see it as a kind of gold, or perhaps in a less cliche way of putting it, a sovereign unit of account. I call it easier because it can be handled entirely digitally with no great expenses to transfer it around the world unlike gold, therefore easily being used on the smartphones of people who need it. It is true that the tech currently has many shortcomings in accessibility now, but I see none that can't be overcome with further development. For an example, see Celo's development of a decentralized phone-number-to-EVM-address linking system. Actually, a lot of the projects surrounding Celo are what inspire me to publicly defend cryptocurrency, but I don't bring it up much because I'd be accused of shilling them.

Anyway, I think that cryptocurrency enables lots more non-criminal and should-be-non-criminal activity that can far outnumber the harmful-criminal activity. Perhaps it's already that way, or perhaps it will be so in the future. "In the future" is admittedly another pro-crypto cliche, but we're seeing results headed in that trajectory like the ones mentioned in the financialinclusion letter.
Yes, if you have money on the line (as GP says.) We assume rich people/orgs are making decisions in their self-interest, which is a good assumption.
$100k - $5 Million is a valid range
Wait, if one wants to match a complement of a regex, surely it is equivalent to seeing if matching the original regex would fail? Or do I miss something obvious?
The vast majority of 28% of Canadian households who are currently carrying a mortgage did not buy their house at peak bubble prices, i.e. within the last 3-4 years. They carry a much more modest debt load, have paid off more of their mortgage, and this will significantly dampen the effect of rising rates on their finance.
I tried it out for a project and I regret it. Following reasoning:

- CSS was created so no inline styling would be necessary. By assigning CSS attributes to classes we are back at inline styling. The html just explodes if you don't put the tailwind classes somewhere else, but then again, CSS is already here for that

- one wastes time learning new naming conventions. Most frontend developers have internalised CSS attributes

- it runs through a javascript lib. That makes the setup more complicated. Browsers support CSS natively so why build something on top of that
I had one friend with an Odyssey2 and everyone felt bad for him. A couple of my friends had Intellivisions which were ok but they had limited people to trade cartridges with. Mike had a Colecovision. Everyone wanted to be Mike's friend. The rest of us had Atari 2600s.
"Any Job ... 0-1B"
The author of the article has had their understanding of systems eat their understanding of humans. Every time they make a realization about people, it immediately gets turned to getting more understanding and control over the world. Which doesn't leave any room to grow for their understanding of humans.

This makes it really hard for them to write an article for non-technical people. To do so, they would have to connect the human side of things to the systems theory side of things. Which they can't do, because they don't understand the human side of things.

They aren't using bad-faith arguments to convince you that they are correct. They simply have no idea how to talk to you. They are in fact trying to be helpful, by presenting what they think is really useful information to understand and control the world with. Their help is useless to you, but they are trying.
"Over the years, the heat from the trains soaked into the clay to the point where it can no longer absorb any more heat. Tunnels that were a mere 14 degrees Celsius in the 1900s can now have air temperatures as high as 30 degrees Celsius on parts of the tube network."
At some point you just run out of money, which happened before the inflation really got started.
Weird article. I don't see why you would necessarily need a more powerful CPU just because you need more RAM. Java is quite RAM hungry. Intellij eats up a lot of it, then whatever else I have running at the same time, 16GB clearly isn't enough even though the base M1 is more than fast enough. It's not like I'm compiling a massive C++ project here.
> These are pointless nitpicks. Every language has things like this. In 4 years of using Python in anger I’ve never written a line of code that could be improved by the features you list.

This is exactly the kind of response one often hears from the Python community. Translated it means, "I'm ok with it this way, so who cares if it could be better?"
A genuine question: why is it that most open source email clients have websites that look like they were put together by Tim Berners Lee, as a test of "this web thing"? Here is another one https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
I tried the initial walkabout segment in 720p, IMO the image quality was decent but the lag was quite jarring. This is especially true since this is a first-person title and the screen was taking time to react to my mouse moments. You could probably get used to it but I would not find this enjoyable especially once you begin combat segments.

This is on DSL with around 7ms to a major city exchange (there is Google infra there but not sure if it has Stadia servers). Likely performance will be improved if you are on fiber and are in the same city as the game server.
Because most people worry more about maintainability, ease of writing, modifying, performance, resulting bundle size, tooling, consistency, etc and very few about "how it looks".

Everyone that complains about tailwind is because they didn't use it yet.

Yes, looks weird at first. That's not everything that matters.
Mid 80s.

We were in a 'newer' school district - the middle school was less than 10 years old at that time. All equipment was relatively 'new'.
Our solar array is providing electricity for $0.06-$0.13 per kWh, assuming 30 year depreciation. Over half that cost was for a beefy grid tied battery. (We average over one power outage per month in my area. PG&E sucks more than usual here.). Also, because we overprovisioned for storms, we basically get two EVs worth of overproduced electricity at that price. Miles driven from that electricity is cheaper than the gasoline equivalent too.

Solar panel prices did go up a bit in the last few months, but that's because the commerce department inadvertently created a shortage while enforcing the China tarrifs.

On the other hand, I was at the car dealer yesterday, and got to compare used EV prices from January and today. Yikes!
To take the best advantage of this, you want to crank up the results per page setting in the search engine. This is because the deletions simply cut results form each page without the results being repaginated.

I made a lot of use of uBlacklist; but then I found Huawei's petalsearch.com, where pretty much none of the crap that I deleted appears in the first place.

uBlacklist is really just a band-aid solution for a garbage search engine; it doesn't address the root cause.
it's a _necessary_ but _not sufficient_ condition for a recession. so it does provide you information. if the yield curve does not invert, it is unlikely there will be a recession.
There's some parallels to traditional animal husbandry.

On the one hand, we domesticated some cows to get milk, in another sense the cows have enslaved the farmers and gotten them work all day to pamper them like royalty, the farmers ensure there is always food in all seasons, they're made to build the cattle shelter from the weather, they go out and hunt predators, they shovel manure, they get up at ungodly hours to milk the cows, and so forth.

So who actually domesticated whom?
Many steam games don't even have DRM to crack.
The safety argument is one of several good reasons to cancel. They do not contradict, but add.
>Also those who renewed in the last 3-4 years.

No. Those who paid the exorbitant prices of the last 3-4 years. I've renewed recently, and borrowed the ~$100k remaining on my mortgage at a historically low rate. If I had to renew at twice that rate it would not make a huge impact on my finances, because I'm currently paying interest on a five-figure principal.
Is there OAuth support? The Claws instructions say to downgrade Gmail security to use it, which is not great.
According to the README, this also works with DDG and some other search engines.
So if a school teacher taught you addition and then later used it as the basis for teaching multiplication you'd reject it because they were referencing their own work on addition?
Palantir gears up to expand its reach into UK’s National Health Service
> you do that only for jobs in Washington state it is only a question of time until the first discrimibation law suites are filed

Discriminating based on an employee's state of residence is totally fine. Californians get different disclosures and rights compared with say Nevadans. Nevadans can't sue for those benefits; they're not entitled to them.
But we still need H1B visas because the domestic population doesn't have enough coders.
They don't believe pay transparency is the way forward - they're just fending off some US laws and trying to gain kudos for doing so.

As you mention, if they really wanted to be transparent, it would be global, but I doubt they want to expose those differences.
>It's better to start from how many times you want to go to the gym

Which you may or may not get close to.

It's easier with subscriptions generally. It's a good idea to constantly be reviewing how much you're using the subscription and how much value/benefit you're getting from it. And of course, that equation can change over time if the subscription fee goes up or you stop using something as much.
One thing that make that statement less impactful is that we now have tools to prevent recessions. So maybe in those five a recession were coming but correct action was taken and it was all good.
Disclosure: These were made by Cohere's embeddings, a company where I work. The process should work on text embeddings from other sources.
SaaS is an efficient way to force ppl and companies to pay a monthly rent.

They will change file formats to work with only SaaS then slowly kill standalone apps.

But some of the SaaS mafia will not want to depend on the client software from google and will have to code their own. Chrome is google lock-in by complexity and size, SDK included.

Yep, this makes me feel very uncomfortable, this is a significant loss of control.
I'm happy with all my Pine64 devices, have an original PineBook and a Quartz64.
> The Buddhist argument doesn't say that the composite isn't perceivable or doesn't exist, just that it only exists conditionally. Nobody denies you can't see the composite.

I don't think anyone makes exactly this claim. From the article, which I presume draws faithfully from the source text[0]:

"Both sides make reference to ordinary objects, such as a clay pot. Both sides agree that the pot is ultimately made up of unobservable atoms. But the Buddhist reductionist says that those atoms are really all that exist, that there is no such thing as a composite whole over and above them."

The point of disagreement between the Buddhist reductionist and the Nyāya commentator, then, is over the existence of composites as bona fide things versus, say, perceptual illusions or whatever. Because both the Buddhist reductionist and the Nyāya commentator refer to composites, clearly both accept composites as objects of perception, so what is perceived is not the point of disagreement, in which case where does the misunderstanding over the conditionality of composites enter the picture? Again, the Nyāya commentator doesn't deny that composites are composed of atoms, nor that their existence is contingent or temporary. Additionally, it seems that if atoms are what ultimately exist, then there would appear to be at least some things which are not conditioned, if I understand the term.

Now, given that, the counterargument is epistemological in nature, specifically, that if what we know about the world begins with perception, and what is perceived are composites and not atoms, and that our knowledge of atoms is inferred from our knowledge of what is perceived, then it is incoherent to also deny the existence of composites because our knowledge of atoms depends on our knowledge of composites. To deny the reality of the latter is to deny the knowledge of anything that depends on the former being the case.

As a bonus, you can let it explode in enemy territory and said it malfunctioned ...
I would say firing 25% would be enough assuming you start from the top down. User hostile software usually hostile by design.
As marktangotango mentioned - the deal is roughly the same for all arm boards. Usually there is a lot of tinkering required, and boot process is convoluted and not standartized at all; and it is usually always up to the community to develop/adopt lots of that things.

Raspberry Pi feels more "polished" precisely because of that too - the active community means active project. And even then it is not free of hardware-backed errors and failing points.

Charging ICs are finicky things on its own - the risk of frying the board/device is always there.

So "landmines" are actually always present - get any random board like Radxa and try deviating even a little bit from "stock" GNU/Linux distribution and its outdated kernel, horrendous patches and binary blobs - and you'll get barely working hardware too.

In my experience the best outcome usually comes from developers being as open as possible; meticulously documenting and publishing everything related to the product, circuits and all.

p.s. Sheer manpower needed to fully QC and maintain at least PC-grade quality of circuitry of that level has to be comparable with said PC vendors employments, hundreds of people if not more. Pine64 and similar vendors operation is small, especially in comparison; they don't move product in that amounts.

p.p.s. being unable to boot from emmc on rk3399 device is new to me to be honest, if you drop by #pine64 irc channel on their server me and local folks can most certainly try to help with that.
This is the best explanation of proof-of-stake I've seen yet! Thank you! This does sound just like minimum karma limits to me though. Per-community karma though instead of the global kind that Reddit uses.
The truth about web design is there's only a few things that repeat in semantics, that's why lowest level token works. At the end of the day, web design is mostly color, space, font, barely things that are higher. If you have some buttons and form inputs pattern, your design is almost done (excluding non-ui state/behavior).
I think the fact that these companies are successful inspite of this shows how good their initial product market fit and founders(CEOs) were. Even after having non builders in key leadership position these companies survived and continue to thrive. Just think about it. Business school admissions are not given on the basis on how well you can run a company long term.

I think companies like coinbase can't afford to have non builders in leadership because they don't have a strong product market fit compared to Facebook, Tesla cars, AWS etc.
They're regulating local citizens that travel, which still has jurisdictional issues afaik. E.g. a state can't generally file charges against a citizen for possession of marijuana if the possession occurred in another state.

I'm not sure what happens in the case of an abortion provider from a legal state visiting an illegal state. My suspicion is that they might try and be rebuked on jurisdictional grounds. It's an even weaker case than local citizen travel, since no part of the acts occurred inside the jurisdiction.
You are drawing a false equivalence.

1. Being topless is both legal in plenty of states and also not a matter of speech.

2. There's a difference between directly saying you are going to kill someone or incite violence and expressing support for a political ideology. For instance, in Germany, the Communist Party is illegal - it is banned. In Germany, expressing an (awful) opinion that the Holocaust did not occur is illegal and you will be charged. In Germany, video games that even included the Nazis in any way were banned.

The approaches to speech are very different, I am not sure why you are trying to draw an equivalence that does not exist.
Salary is just one component of total comp, and in my (tech) experience not generally the biggest one.
> In the mid-fourth century BC, an experienced Greek general decided to spend his retirement doing something different – writing a book sharing his expertise with the general public.

In mid-fourth century BCE, was writing a book really sharing with the general public? They had no printing press. How many would read a book? Who was it really written for?
> Electricity is everywhere that gasoline is.

That's due to gas and diesel power generators, not EV technology.
There isn't enough time. The world is already way behind on climate change. Nuclear is a mature and safe technology, on a incidents/pollution/deaths per kWh produced basis. Storage is in its infancy. Yes, more investment in that field would be great, but that's a timescale of decades that we don't have -- especially the rest of the world. Realistically we need something much bigger than the Manhattan Project to even have a chance in hell of making an impact at a utility, much less national or global, scale. There's nothing like that even on the horizon, simply no political will.

Small to medium investors and companies are trying to tackle it at the locality level (Tesla, small utility experiments, etc.), but there are no national or international movements to solve this issue wholesale. And until it is solved, adding more renewable production without storage to an already-capped grid doesn't really help the issue; in fact it worsens it by creating huge peaks and valleys in power production that are then compensated for by fossil fuel peaker plants (because nuclear can't ramp up and down that quickly). California is the example of this.

At the end of the day renewables vs nuclear is a false dilemma. The actual issue is future livability vs present-day profit, and the latter always wins in our political economy. We need vision and political will to get us there, way more investment in both renewables and nuclear, on the timescale of years, not decades, with nuclear providing a band-aid while R&D on storage increases several orders of magnitude.

It's the sort of problem that the private sector cannot easily solve; it would take mass national and international collaboration, or perhaps an arms race.
