Running some superficial "sentiment analysis" neural net over scholarly work and basing any sort of analysis on that is a terrible idea for obvious reasons.

It is already a terrible idea for content moderation / sorting reviews / etc, and the stakes are lower.
Where do “values” come into it? It's not about claiming the Romans practiced DEI, but showing that the popular image in the West of Romans being ethnically homogenous and light-skinned is not rooted in reality.

It's important that people don't get an unrealistic image of what the past was like.
This would be interesting indeed. But it wouldn't be enough to really appreciate the paper's value. Often times a paper is cited because it is related 'prior work', even if it's crap. This can happen because a reviewer asks it. Sometimes the reviewer is the crap's author, for instance. Yes, many things are broken about bibliometry and scientific publishing in general.
What if you have an Android phone?

I think AirTags are kind of dumb. They’re expensive enough that the only thing I’d use them for are key fobs, but, in Canada, we have War Amps who do a low tech version that makes more sense IMO.

They give you a “dumb” tag that has a unique number on it. Anyone can drop a found set of keys in any mailbox and they get sent to War Amps who sends them back to the owner. You don’t get real time tracking, but there’s no e-waste or batteries to worry about.
Your repeating opinion of someone with extreme biases for clickbait. This fantasy of forcing musk to buy the company doesn’t exist in any contract. Your asking the court to make up a new contract and enforce it.

That’s not how the court works, except in extreme circumstances which don’t apply to this twitter acquisition attempt.

Also, Musk asserts that upto 50% of twitter users are bots, which is totally believable. So the chances Musk will have to pay anything is actually remote, since twitter would have to produce evidence that would reveal trade secrets.

Here’s my prediction: Musk will pay nothing because Twitter has allowed itself to be infiltrated with bots and revealing this will be far more damaging than losing out on a billion. Musk will walk away.
With a strong state, it’ll just be easier to collude without even having to maintain an appearance.
Canada wants to implement this under the Trudeau liberal government. It's been a little disturbing to watch a Canadian liberal government take steps in the direction of totalitarian control since the beginning of the pandemic. When was the last time the political right has positioned themselves in opposition to the left in defense of free speech and individual rights and freedoms? Strange times.
We do want to electrify the world, don't we? This using nuclear leaves us with three options:

- every country runs it's own
homegrown nuclear power plants

- a few first world companies run power plants in every country, making them dependent and complaint

- nuclear plants are in "safe" countries (which hopefully remain safe) and their electricity gets distributed to dependent "unsafe" countries via a global power grid

Which of those solutions do you prefer?

is “the quantum internet” not grounded in reality then?
Bing still refuses to index one of my pages, telling me to follow their rules. They won't tell me what rule I'm in violation of, though, and I can't tell that I'm in violation of any of them.

And this is educational content, text only, no ads or popups, no SEO hacking. Bing's analysis tool told me only that I was missing the "lang" attribute from my HTML tag. So I added it, but of course that wasn't the issue.

I reached out to them, and they replied saying that the page didn't meet the requirements for listing, but didn't elaborate.

It certainly makes me wonder what content their broken algorithm is missing.

And it sucks because it means DDG is missing that content, too.
Yes, exactly. I treat my commit history like I'm preparing for a detective to investigate years down the line :)

Great commit messages are just one part of the timeline. Ensuring there's a link between the commits/PR and the ticket lets the future detective get more information (frequently, that's "why did we do this").
I think compromises could be made in this case - like giving users a reasonable amount of time to apply the patches before the update is performed forcibly. I have seen important meetings stalled because the presenter was only given two hours to reboot his computer after Windows updates were applied, for instance. Same for big Windows feature updates occuring in the middle of the day and stopping work for an hour. But with say twelve hours or so then the user could reboot in the evening or during lunch break without affecting productivity.
I'm talking more about the sheer quantity of operating systems running in parallel on one computer.
It might be on paper, but that's a "No True Scotsman" argument, just like all the socialists saying "oh the Soviet Union wasn't real socialism!".

In reality, this seems to be what happens every time, empirically. So maybe this is just what real life capitalism is like?
>Whether your production environment is actually at risk for the exploit being patched is a reasonable thing to ask in all scenarios. "What's our exposure here? Can it wait a few days?" would be a reasonable thing to ask.

You would think it do be that way, but it don't....

Especially with things like Microsoft's megapatches they distribute these days. You are asking for the potential impact of anywhere from 10 to 100 patches custom tailored to the particular applications you're running on your server. Now you're asking for some large number of manhours of in depth analysis in a department that's already short on time.

And as often as there is a patch that breaks the application, there is a patch that was released as a low impact that suddenly is high impact because it can be chained into an exploit, and now IT/SecOps is looking at the servers history to make sure it wasn't exploited at some time in the past.

What is helpful here is not delaying patches, but instead having good testing environments that run the same version of the production application so the patch can be tested there first. Of course that costs a lot so you don't see it as often as you should.

I’m specifically saying this “energy HOA” sounds miserable/time-consuming just to run my car, and if people immediately have a negative reaction like that then the “solution” is potentially very flawed, if for no other reason than it hurts adoption. There’s no need to get so hostile over a simple critique. I also don’t think it’s reasonable to assume a “simple algorithm” will solve this.

For the record, I don’t own a Tesla and I don’t want to. I have no plans of giving Elon Musk any of my business.
You talking about Uber or the cab cartels they were competing with?
This is the thing that infuriates me most about any job. At any business, everyone needs to work as a team to accomplish the business's goals and make the customer happy. If anyone decides they're not going to care about their team mates, they are working against the best interests of the people who pay their salary. They're taking a dump on the rug of the person giving them a meal.

It might be the IT person doesn't have time to work on new issues. Or it might be the middle manager doesn't want to fight for what we really need. Or the executive doesn't want to spend money on what they don't personally care about. Or the engineer doesn't want to work with operations on how the product should work. Or human resources doesn't care how painful it is to onboard in the company. Or the company as a whole doesn't care how difficult it is to just find some information, or communicate across teams.

It's usually never just one person or group at fault. The culture sets the tone for how well people listen for problems, how willing they are to jump in and fix them, and whether they even think it's OK to try to fix them. Apathy, fear, and jadedness will drive everyone to stop making things better. If you find yourself in such an environment, my advice is to quit immediately, because changing culture is just about the hardest thing there is.
Long term storage is very definitely not required.

If you take a look at the hourly weather data for every continent for the past 30 years, there is not a single hour where there is not wind blowing somewhere on the continent. So you can build a continental grid consisting of just wind turbines that will continuously satisfy the energy needs for the entire continent.

Long term storage is cheaper than a massive continental grid with a massive overbuild of solar, but it's not required.

But it illustrates the point that a lot less long term storage is required than most people expect.
Hah, that reminds me of a robotics competition I took part in at school.

Robots were placed in an arena, and the objective was to gather QR-marked boxes, and bring them back "home".

There were also QR codes placed at known locations around the arena, and the intention was that you could use them for navigation. However, the camera systems were pretty flakey (especially under unpredictable lighting conditions), so we wanted to avoid using them as much as possible. So, we put rotary encoders on our wheels, and integrated the readings to calculate a "home vector" for the return journey, just like you described.

At the time, I wasn't aware that this was an ant-inspired technique - but it was very effective, and we won the competition. Thanks, ants!

You are ranting about a bunch of things that I've never witnessed on HN or anywhere really (except perhaps for that one guy from Google whose claims were quickly debunked on HN and elsewhere). No one claimed that GPT-3 was sentient or possessed human level intelligence. The more common "religious/pseudoscientific" claims I've seen around here are those that completely dismiss the possibility of human level AI because of some miraculous-like property of the brain.
>Stewart’s constant “I’m just a comedian” response has prompted pushback from his detractors who have called it, among other things, a “dodge.”

Much as people with overly inflated egos are wont to do at any expression of either modesty or humility, or a bully is wont to that a victim would dare defang their attacks, depriving them of the dopamine hit they get when someone squirms under their finger.

Yes, "best practice" is to not undermine yourself in a debate with that sort of utterance, but today, I feel it is an invaluable expression of truth, and a reminder to the American people that even your President is just a normal bloke onto whom a shit ton of responsibility and accountability gets dumped for 4 years.

This country is a country of cobblers, haberdashers, construction workers, office workers, garbage men, and yes, comedians. I think it's about time that the political elite start to recall that "politician" was never intended to be a day job.
The taxi drivers had the regulatory capture in this case
This is Spycraft 101;

Lots of Japanese have been abducted by North Korea to train their spies, build cover stories to live as Japanese (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_agent) across generations etc. Since NK is a proxy for China, one can expect a flow through. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_abductions_of_Jap...

In popular Movie/TV parlance (eg. Russian spies in the USA) these Sleeper Agents are called "The Illegals".
> Any successful search engine will be gamed.

Only because it's profitable for them to allow it to be gamed, like all the spam sites now when you search for SO, Google allows them to be ranked because they're filled with Google ads. But it'd be trivial to just delist them all, that'd be beneficial for the user but not the search engine.

It's not a matter of 'developer power' just flip a boolean somewhere and delist the site.
This is synchronistic. Just a few days ago I started playing on Lichess after I remembered hearing about it here on HN. Actually I haven't played many games there, my favorite thing as someone actively studying to get better is watching live games on Lichess. Its better than Youtube.
Transition to what exactly? The link in your comment doesn't seem relevant.
This is funny - back in 2015, the Spotify model became the organizational model for our product team at IBM Watson. It did not work for much the same reasons described by the author. All that it resulted in was an inscrutable organizational matrix which rapidly became ossified - the very opposite of nimbleness!
But the question is, how many politicians and lobbyists were on the other side, trying to keep the status quo as it was, in favour of taxi drivers?
The key is that the vast supermajority of your interactions with fiat won't be at high risk of being a scam.
That's a pretty big if. Most people would be ecstatic if the grid was 99% decarbonized, and 99% decarbonized is probably an order of magnitude easier than 100% decarbonized. Unless you're some place like British Columbia with massive hydro reserves.

Managerial Failings: Complification
> removing millions of viable eggs

This is the part I do not agree with. There is no way he was able to harvest that many eggs. We're talking about multiple wheelbarrows worth of eggs that would have had to be found (in murky terrain, hard to see), harvested, transported.. this is not a one-teenager project. Nowhere in the videos does he show any sort of tools more advanced than a bucket to help with this -- you would not be able to do it with a bucket.

Other commenters have pointed out his videos were stolen from Youtube, so the amount of eggs he actually probably harvested from nature is 0.
Definitely, but it's not a market that Oxide intends to go after (at least not for the foreseeable future). Part of the challenge is that it really does require diverging from the reference designs (as these have effectively enshrined a proprietary BMC and everything that comes with it) -- and once you are away from reference designs, you are talking about a very different economic proposition. This is part of why we are so transparent and open about everything we're doing: our hope is that we can enable others to pick up the baton and serve those markets that we do not intend to address.

Parallel Markets | Sr Frontend Engineer | Remote | Full Time | https://parallelmarkets.com
Parallel Markets provides a re-usable identity for financial institutions in both web2 and web3 contexts. We just raised our Series A from Union Square Ventures (https://www.usv.com/writing/2022/02/parallel-markets/), and we're growing our remote-first team with additional full-time/permanent hires. Our frontend is React/GraphQL/Relay. Our backend is Elixir/Phoenix — with a dash of Go and NodeJS — on PostgreSQL. We deploy on AWS, provisioned through Terraform.

Engineers here at Parallel love building products, emphasizing efficiency and developer happiness. We deploy at-will, many times a day, coordinated via Slack, GitHub, and Shortcut. As a remote-first team, we will always prefer asynchronous processes. As a result, our morning standup is the only recurring meeting and we Write Things Down™. That goes for requirements and documentation, but also our company handbook (https://about.parallelmarkets.com/handbook). Through collaboration, we prioritize the best answer — regardless who comes up with it — and believe "done" is better than "perfect."

We want to work with curious, self-motivated engineers who enjoy learning new technologies. We all learned Elixir on the job, for instance. So, instead of looking for people with "X years doing Y," we're glad to find those with opinions on a variety of languages and approaches. We're excited to know there's always more to learn; if you feel the same, let's work together!

If you want Windows boxes to stay updated then have a way to replace the entire machine and replicate all needed application data (including sql server databases and anything proprietary) within minutes or hours at no notice. The Windows Update Service is a practical nightmare. It will get corrupted. It will require an entire re-image of the machine to fix. It will happen on production servers and client endpoints without regard to core business impact. It might even happen at a rate of a few per hundred of installs updated.
> Rather than recalling and fixing the deficiency, Musk doubled down and refused to admit his mistake.

Except they did fix the deficiency and he never "doubled down" on the events that happened. He did remind people to pay attention while driving reminding people that it was beta software. Your recollection of events seems to be mistaken. Additionally, "Recalls" are a legacy regulatory requirement based around the era that required you to take a vehicle into a service station to have something replaced or serviced. They're not required for a software update to fix some problem.

> Then, predictably, a second person got decapitated in the same exact manner.

You're going to have to source that as I'm not aware of any second instance of the exact same thing happening.

> Are these the decisions of a good engineer and a moral person? Or someone who would rather be right than prevent deaths?

They're the decisions of a person who's working toward the long term and thinks that saving lives in aggregate is a good thing to do even if in the process very few deaths of a different type are caused. Yes they're moral. By some accounts he's saved several thousand lives already in prevented car accidents based on the lower accident rate of vehicles running on autopilot.
What's the alternative? That IT issues increased workplace productivity? I'm not going to give 1E my contact information to read the full report, but this does not sound insightful to me.
Different organizations have different structures and different distributions of responsibility. I could absolutely see some places having HR be the place where metric-based policies originated, even for the IT team—and even over the objections of the head of IT. Especially if it's a place where the head of HR is a VP/C-suite, but the head of IT is just a Director. (Shockingly, not everywhere sees IT as being as important as other divisions.)
I worked in IT. I had two techniques for people with inane questions -- number one, acknowledge their request and tell them they are in the queue, then follow up the next day asking if they still need help. Usually they had either figured it out or asked a friend by then. Number two was to just teach them where to figure it out for themselves as a ticket update, and then close it out the next day.

If they actually came by, we would just help them and then file a ticket for them to track our work.

There is no reason to force people to file tickets before you help them.
>I personally believe the Daily Show is largely responsible for the kind of snide discourse we see around politics today.

They might have just been riding the wave, but the changing temperature of political discourse was certainly on display in the changing tone of that show. Maybe all the tape of cable news they had to pour through over the years rotted their brain despite watching it with a critical eye.

There were two big shifts over the years. I watched when it was goofing around in a news format, when it was pointed, and when it became salty I eventually stopped watching.

The pointed period was it's golden period and it's rise in fame. They poked fun at the tricks of the tv news establishment and put egg on politician's faces. It was obvious they had a perspective, but it didn't seem like they were sacrificing comedy to send a message. ...and then some years later they blatantly were.

The time I realized I was done with the show was when I read some news during the day, and a politician said basically: "A, but B, therefore C." That night on The Daily Show, they played a clip of A, cut to Stewart at the desk to double down on point A, cut to a clip of C, smash cut to Stewart pulling a face and pause for reaction. The Daily Show used to be the ones to clown on CNN for doing exactly that.

Would the Daily Show of today or Last Week Tonight give me the same soft spot for Ron Paul getting ratfucked by the cable news media? The Daily Show of 15 years ago didn't want him in power but still celebrated him on the occasions he made decent political points that neither the GOP or dems wanted to touch with a 10 foot pole, and exposed how his campaign was under- and mis-reported. These days? They'd ratfuck him even harder than cable news.

>> "Kalanick’s spokesperson said Uber’s expansion initiatives were “led by over a hundred leaders in dozens of countries around the world and at all times under the direct oversight and with the full approval of Uber’s robust legal, policy and compliance groups”."

Well, for starters, it would mean that members of the public who had interacted with the murderer, and had important information about their motives, means of obtaining weapons, accomplices, etc. would not realize that they had important information, and therefore would not make this information available to investigators.

Next, it would mean that powerful interests who had responsibility for the crime, by instigation or negligence, might be able to avoid accountability for their actions/omissions, since people would not be able to connect them to the murderer.

Then there's the inability of the public to see what aspects of current culture might have lead to the crime, or what deficiencies in mental health care contributed, etc.

Democracy is based on the belief that ordinary people can be trusted to know the truth, and use it in governing themselves. Perhaps you don't believe that, and are just against democracy?
