> My spouse, with about a decade of teaching experience at the time, once had a former student drop out of high school and start working at as a gas station clerk at a major chain.

OK, I've already said I think this is unjust. Please read my comments and understand context. I just do not think this is a path to increase educational performance, particularly in the short to intermediate run.

> where the fuck is that hand-wringing when CEO pay comes up at board meetings? Any pro sports teams worrying they might pay too much to attract good players?

I feel like you're not understanding the distinction between:

A) paying a premium within a profession to get the top candidate

and

B) increasing pay broadly to get a higher level of performance from existing practitioners

and

C) to get more able candidates into a profession or retain them.

> you get some good people who are semi-retired from a better-earning career

[raises hand]

> since teacher social status is somewhere under the floor

IMO this is the biggest problem. And, indeed, teachers will take even lower pay to be in a private school situation with a parent community and student community that values education.
Any bets on when the majority of software development is automated? My estimate based on the exponential improvement rate of AI on various tests like MMLU and MATH is within 3 years. I know that might sound crazy, but a year ago it would have been crazy to think that graphics design jobs could be automated by an AI in 2022.

Feel free to disagree and discuss why.

pneumatic signaling is cute. it makes me imagine the french mob, running around with black strap eyemasks, stripey shirts, bicycle pumps and hand-drills jacking into the system and running the clocks forward for nefarious purposes.
And I think this is the main reason Google Killed Google Reader.
It was controversial (or illegal or ugly) to put ads over the third party content.
And it was way better to have Adsense on the websites directly.
Such "spring cleaning" was an alibi, not the reason. It was abandoned after some attempts to build a kind of social network inside, and probably they preferred people to create content on +1 instead of on blogs.
But Blogger still exists, and there's a strong contradiction why to kill the reader for the blogs except one: Ads. Google Reader was bad for Ad business.
And that's a big business in Google.
And terribly sad.

I WISH Starbucks tasted like milk. Order just a normal iced or hot coffee from them, and put in as much cream or sugar as you want, it still tastes like you are licking the little hot plate under the carafe in a drip coffee maker.

At least it doesn't taste like battery acid though.

> BTW, Houston, Texas's largest city, gets its power entirely from wind and solar. That's a good goal for any city.

This is a bit misleading. It appears the big-C City's own operations do, not the whole city worth of people and private industry.

https://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/press/2020/100-percent-renew...

> As part of the contract renewal, the City will power all municipal operations with renewable energy and realize $65 million in savings over the seven-year contract. Through the NRG Renewable Select plan, the City will receive 1,034,399 MWh of renewable electricity annually from a new, third-party utility-scale solar facility in Texas that is dedicated to City operations.
This is an interesting take, I hadn't thought about OSS participation as an element of ESG but it makes sense when you consider that an OSS license is a kind of social contract and that the success of OSS depends to some extent on an awareness of the participatory nature of the model.

Notably, most of the attacks from Mordechai's lab describe low-bandwidth channels for deliberate data exfiltration. These attacks would only apply in unusual situations where an attacker can run arbitrary code on a machine, but the machine is isolated from the outside world. (Scenarios like Iranian nuclear facilities come to mind.)
To elaborate, I usually end up mixing 3 cups of whole milk over the span of the day into it (usually done by 2pm), and then the combination of the fat and the caffeine keeps me full for a while after that, so I end up only having 450 calories until dinner, where even a large 1000 calorie dinner will keep me below my calorie goal.
We did the same several years ago.
At the time I found http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~bianca/papers/temperature_cam.pdf quite interesting.

I worked in law offices and data entry in the early 90's through high school, and some college. When HTML came along, it was pretty much the same style of syntaxing as WP, so it was extremely easy to pick up. I was one of the early HTMLers, helping my school departments. This led me down the road to software engineering.

There are several fortuitous milestones in my career. Working with WP was probably the first major one.
Wage workers can and should demand more. When we're at the point where rising wages lead to a spiral of inflation, there's lots of other problems in the economy, so there's no point in wage workers not demanding more.
Sure but the airflow over DIMMs in a server chassis is already vastly more cooling than RAM gets in any consumer application other than GDDR on GPUs.

that's news to me. Is that literally true ( in the literal sense of the word "literally")? If so, that's very interesting and something i never thought about before.
GP didn't say they were actually doing that. Just "stealing" the content.
I tried out the demo and was dissapointed that for number inputs a regular `<input type="text">` is used. This removes any option to add numbers by using the arrow up keys on a keyboard. Another thing I noticed is that your blog loads very slow, but that might be because this article is rather popular now.
If I understand what you are saying, the rules will parse the HTML and look for variables wrapped in curly brackets and convert it to the value and then render that HTML. The editor allows you to embed an input value without having to manually type it yourself. I should do a screencast how that works.
I think this will depend on your own preferences and use case. The initial default expense accounts in GnuCash are a reasonable starting point, but of course you can add, delete or amend accounts according to your preferences.
Yeah, that's what I meant when I mentioned arguing the specifics. I agree that there are egalitarian extremisms that are pretty dystopic, though I think practice shows that only equality before law doesn't mean much by itself.

If you ask me specifically, the extent is that everyone should have equal active participation in government and suffer no overwhelming pressure, physical, economic or otherwise from other people. Equality so that we can be free. This is more that we tend to have, but not necessarily in the "socialist" direction I think.

To tie it back from an offtopic, this would make many AGI applications uneconomic, though likewise many enterprises are uneconomic if you have to pay your labor. Perhaps free societies, wherever they would be, would have the advantage of having free artificial minds acting in their actual self-interest, and not just serving their masters. You can see similar dynamic in late-18th century revolutionary wars.
I tend to really like working startups.

Massive corporations are usually very risk-averse, and you end up just mostly being a ticket-monkey. The problems you're tending to solve are mostly pretty boring - unless you're a rock-star and they've hired you to do cutting edge R&D (and in this case, can be the coolest and most rewarding gig out there).

But at startups, there's always a shit ton of interesting problems to solve (usually too many by too few people - depending on the stage). This frees me up to be creative, and also to pick and choose my priorities.

As far as your specific complaints:
- 'I can't bare (sic) the devs that go out of their way to work weekends without being asked'; IMO this depends on personal disposition, and also team culture, and sadly, it's hard to find a place to work where they don't try to force people to burn out one way or another. This does kind of suck when you've got team members that do this and kind of fuck things up for everyone else.

- 'I can't bare (sic) the endless meetings, constant micromanagement'; Again, this is mostly team culture, and how teams are organized, and there are ways to fix this, but in my 25+ years of experience, once an organization heads down this path, it's very difficult to fix. It's the route to becoming ineffective as a group, and it is soul-crushing to be a part of this. I'd encourage anyone in this situation to get out of it ASAP. Complaining will never ever fix it. Micromanagement, of course, is 100% just incompetent managers. Which is also difficult to fix.

- 'bringing the stress home to my family'; I think this is more of a personality issue with the individual. 10 years of therapy, and I wasn't able to make headway on this. Some jobs were absolutely worse than others. Personally, when I've had management who goes out of their way to compliment my work verbally, this goes a long way to relieving my anxiety and stress. It's very helpful and costs the company next to nothing. But at the end of the day, even those companies, I've had to deal with either company failure or layoffs (which is a form of company failure), and that just validates why I'm stressed. So it comes down to how you deal with that stress, and the only way I can see it is to be independently wealthy so you don't need to work in the first place. That's just my internal rationalization though.
It would be easier to build AIs that have no means for expressing their suffering, so that's probably what will (or has) happen(ed) instead.

It is important to remember why it is we even want AI: because we want slaves. To that end, the people who work to create AI are incentivized against allowing themselves to see them as anything other than a soulless "algorithm". Many will even deny the possibility entirely.
Most people are functionally illiterate.
Yes, this is the right explanation.

Because acidification has an opposite effect on silica shells in comparison with aragonite or calcite shells, which prevents the efficient recycling of the dead diatoms, the global effect will be a decrease in the concentration of silicic acid in sea water, which will diminish the abundance of diatoms and of other living beings that need silica.

I do kill my consciousness every night to get some sleep (and for a surgery or two), and it felt weird as a kid (I remember wondering who or what would wake up in the morning) but now I am used to it. Persistence of memory helps a lot, and is probably the real thing that people worry about when thinking about cloning/uploading/teleporting. We identify ourselves from what we remember as familiar, which is why dementia is so awful. It's not like our consciousness somehow exists in the past, present, and future all at once as a single object; we are always migrating with the present into a new experience and whether that is precisely at the time or place we expect it to be doesn't matter in the long run. An alarm clock or light streaming in the window teleports me from last night without any conscious choice of mine.
Reading between the lines, Apple wanted Windows support at release, but Microsoft signed an exclusivity agreement with Qualcomm for windows on ARM so they weren't able to make that happen even if they wanted to.

> This is not fundamentally possible in peer to peer permissionless blockchains.

That's nonsense. There's nothing preventing KYC for any business transaction. It won't happen on the blockchain, but entities operating in the EU who forgo compliance will end up subject to investigation when they interact with the financial system, as may have happened in this case (again, I'm not supposing that the OP did anything wrong).

> The law as it is currently defined is not compatible with the technology and will need to be revised if the law wishes to consider NFT as high value art sale.

This is complete nonsense. The medium of transaction is neither inherently compatible or incompatible with the law, and entities which try to use it as an excuse to avoid their compliance obligations will find themselves subject to government investigation and sanction.

The idea that you can pretend that a technical implementation can exempt you the law is so outlandish and absurd that I wonder if you're trolling?
That's an example of a similar system, but probably impractical for
use in an electronics context. I have in my imagination a fantasy
"smart" material that in the limit can transfer 0.5 * k^m joules of
heat per square meter per second from one side to the other (where m
is somewhere between 1 and 2). Such a material would always feel
slightly warmer on one side and cooler on the other, and this effect
would actually increase in the presence of ambient heat, hence it
could act as a thermal "brake" or active heat pipe/diode. I beleieve
such a device is "allowable" within the laws of physics.
I'm not sure I can sympathise with the scammers getting scammed part, but the idea that impersonation is so easy and ignored by these platforms is quite disappointing but unsurprising.
TJ is literally a “Governor’s school.” Liberal democrats put themselves in a position where they are forced to go along with whatever activists decide is “racist” regardless of the merits. They’re the ones who weaponized accusations of “isms” and handed a club for the activists to beat them with.

This usually isn't true at scale though. The chip manufacturers do a ton of validation and qualification to set the operating parameters (voltage, etc).

You can undervolt (or overclock) one specific chip, individuals have been doing this at home for basically ever, but there's (almost) always a system-specific validation process you then do to make sure the system is stable for a specific workload with the new parameters.

And these parameters differ between batches of chips, or even between chips within a batch.

It's also significantly harder to drastically reduce the temperature of the chips inside of a single server, given the machine density of a typical data center.

I agree, create a budget and stick to it. It's a good idea to audit every month so you know where your money is going and what you're doing with your money.
so there is a good reason for this - I've learned the hard way that you cannot trust the number input, it has some very strange behavior. I could write a blog post just about that issue.

mpv has better support for playing videos from the web. You can paste a youtube link into vlc's "Open Network Stream..." dialogue, but because VLC doesn't use yt-dlp for this it often doesn't work at all (it presently doesn't work for me) and works with fewer websites than mpv.

Also mpv's json IPC interface is easier to use with better documentation than any of VLC's numerous remote control protocols (which aren't mentioned in the manpage, and have incomplete hand-wavy documentation spread across numerous poorly organized wiki pages.)

Has this model ever worked for anyone apart from businesses with very strong network effects?
Has anyone incurred any negative effects due to blogging?

Here is a hypothetical scenario, you and your co-workers are working long hours on solving a bug; and during that weekend you publish a blog entry you have been working for a long time, and the blog entry becomes some what popular. Now your manager and co-workers think your mindshare is not focused on work and you are not dedicated to work as others.

Is it better to maintain the blog anonymously?

The Hexrays decompilation plugin for ARM architecture works very fine and produces more readable code than this js :D
All they did was do C preprocessor style text replacement to illustrate that, semantically and syntactically, they are very similar, the only difference being that APL chose to use super terse operator symbols instead of names. Assuming that the language allows Unicode identifiers, you could just as easily define even? or whatever to have a symbolic name and the factor/joy/forth code would look almost the same as APL.

Now I’m not saying that APL isn’t interesting and that it’s choices aren’t useful, just that the comparison here shows the difference in many ways is a surface level, visual one.

Of course syntax does matter but we could argue all day about whether replacing everything with symbols as APL does is more or less readable, for non-trivial code, than what factor/joy/forth do (once familiar with either style).
Bricking a GCP Project for 100 years with the storage.buckets.update permission
Be careful giving users access to manage buckets in GCP. It is possible to lock a project for 100 years and if you have petabytes or whatever in there, you are stuck with it for 100 years. Not sure if support can recover it, but if they don't answer you, you are on your own and you must make a new project and move everything over.

Being able to update buckets should not give such great power with no way to recover from a misapplication of that power or in this case, no way to separate that power from other "normal" powers.

Same mechanism why you get more sick in the winter. Periodic thermal shocks and therefore periodic capillaries expansions and retractions in you airways, sinuses.
