I thought about it, but still can't figure out what benefit it will bring. PG loves Amjad very much, apparently this project scheme will allow programmers to be placed in the cages of the matrix.

Ukrainians die every day so that civilization can continue to build international unicorns, but I am against continued parasitism on Ukrainians. Is this what Steve Jobs, Apple and others were aiming for?

Since PG relies on Amjad, then the actions of anti-fraud organizations are needed if Amjad is related to the russian capital and money laundering, for example. This threatens the entire American startup ecosystem with YC.

Perhaps this is the business of lawyers and I cannot understand what pluses and minuses "Tell HN" will bring in progression.
build and scale systems with artificial load on aws! scaling the load testing will be just as interesting as scaling the system under test.

start with low bottlenecks, ie a cluster of c6i.large ec2 spot. how fast can you do this? have fast can you scale that? ec2 and s3 is all you need to build anything.

use ec2 spot, avoid network egress, avoid cross region/zone traffic, create and destroy ec2 instances as needed instead of letting them sit idle. you could grow system scaling intution for the price of your streaming subscriptions.

start with something like this:

https://github.com/nathants/libaws/tree/master/examples/comp...

maybe mess around with public datasets on aws, just make sure to be in the correct region to avoid data egress.

welcome systems, friend. stay a while and contemplate. one accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions. scaling is fun!
Essentially this means approximating the bearing of the sun X hours after midnight the sun as 15X degrees. This works better the closer to the poles you are and the closer to the winter solstice it is - see for example https://possiblywrong.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/using-a-watch...

Is this research finding ("Why most published research findings are false") also false?

Which means published research findings are true? But then it will turn all research findings false, which is impossible

This sounds like a awesome idea and a great project, and I work with subscription billing. Attempted to try it out for a while, and my first impression is that the UI is terribly ugly, even as I literally could find only 3 buttons to click a side from the Log out button.

That's exactly the point where you become able to decide for yourself what you'd like to do. I would say that seeing that point negatively and reflexively going back to work your standard job is what makes that period a waste.

Most of the paper-writing-on-phones that I've seen is just a convenience thing. Google Docs/other cloud writing platforms make your documents available everywhere, and it turns out that there's a lot of down time where you can cram in some writing time if you're able to easily just pull it up on your phone. I remember writing papers on my phone in high school while on/waiting waiting for the bus. If you live near a college campus, you'll see a lot of students watching lectures, doing flash cards, and writing papers on public transit if you look close enough :)

The method itself just uses the default value of the corresponding type. If you have a sequence of ints, and you cast it to Nullable<int> first before applying FirstOrDefault, then you can distinguish between null and 0.
In some trite sense what you're saying is true, but if autonomous vehicles are widely available and cheap they'll drastically reduce vehicle ownership rates, which will help improve the status quo for most of the problems you listed.
Depends: are you the kind of person who considers it a good idea to be aware of uncertainty? You'll be perfectly happy with "I'm on the northern hemisphere, it's afternoon, so south must be somewhere left of the sun".

But if you are the kind of person who like to lose themselves in point-something percentage point deltas in small (or unknown) sample size market research, go on, pat yourself on the shoulder for building that makeshift shadow observatory, it will make you happy even if you don't really know where exactly you are relative to the center and natural bounds of you time zone.

Hmm, you're arguing to attempt to get to a 'stage two civilization' per the kardashev scale, and while I agree there's all sorts of issues with attempting policy-level change I keep seeing a lot of energy/material/ecological blindness with such arguments to go beyond boundaries.

Feel like our conversation might go along the lines of this conversation between Nate Hagens and Sebastian Heitmann: https://youtu.be/9Y6BvCVKC_E?t=2665

"since technology can make more use out of less material and energy by increasing efficiency or creating alternate methods of accomplishing the same tasks" - I keep thinking we're falling into the 'jevon's paradox' here without sufficient systemic accounting or feedbacks.
Damn, that's brutal

I was looking around for some day care for my kid, and everything here seems to work out to ~$20/hour. I was thinking "Well, I guess that's about what I'd have to charge if I quit working at $FAANG and ran a day care out of my house.." and considering signing up.

If it's just some rich prick getting richer while an overworked person in front barely scrapes by, though, that is really infuriating. I guess that fits with every other customer-facing business in the bay area though. I feel lucky any time I make it out of a store without getting punched in the face around here

People won't do any more work than they have to. If you need the PR to be backported, don't ask a question. Say "step 5. Backport this PR" Don't offer an easy out.

Then if they don't you can ding them for not following the process. You can fix problems with process, but all that does is set a minimum floor of quality, it doesn't guarantee anything higher than that.

In your example, I'd have standards for coding practices, and reviews to be sure that they're met, and merges aren't allowed unless the reviewers all approve.
1. Weird fraud I've never seen done, if the actual original interest rate was "agreed upon", and not just a "potentially if you qualify at our source bank".

2. I assume the car was looked at and maybe test driven. I find it hard to believe this was a 'ruse' left for the final moments. I can imagine people getting confused or not hearing or understanding I suppose.. someone wants a discount, salesperson says we have a demo over here we can do a large discount on.. and somehow the miles or reason for discount were not discussed. I wouldn't call this a ruse, and once again not something I've done or seen since it's just a waste of time. Obviously the person will discover the miles at some point, so why have the drama.

3. Illegal to pad a term sheet and then stuff a $1000 'charge'. You'd atleast have to have the customer sign the contract for what they were getting for their $1000. Dealers attempt to add things often, but they can't be secretly padded into the initial payment discussions. It's superficially easy for a customer to snap a photo of a preemptive term sheet and burn a dealership at the DMV dealers office or back out a whole deal months or even years after purchase if this was documented. Again, not something I saw in 10 years.

4. I saw countless people get confused by the "total" on the contract, usually when selling a used car to a less mathematically and logical buyer for some reason. You can sell a Porsche to an accountant and all goes great everytime, but sell a used Corvette to someone that personally requested a 72 month loan and watch drama unfold as he wonders why the total of payments on his $50k car is $70k. Luckily I was good and could always explain reality of sales tax, registration, and interest to these people. But not everyone is so lucky.

Maybe the dealerships I worked at were above average in integrity, because they were high performers and high performers don't have time to fraud induced drama, but honestly if you land on a dumb salesperson that can't explain your confusion to you, you can end up thinking your confusion was their attempt at a scam.
I don't see this as abnormal. At every stage of abstraction you have to relearn things. Most professors relearn everything every year by teaching a class.

Try implementing a basic neural network and backprop in something like numpy.
If you really want to go hardcore, implement it again without numpy.
I don't know, but let me point the obvious: it feels very weird that fundamental things are so complicated.

Somehow I want to think that there's a much simpler layer underneath and all this imperfection comes as a second order side effect.

Plato's cave seems the relevant meme. But is it really complexity a side effect or, as you suggest, is simplicity a side effect of our minds' pattern matching preferences?
> Folks get invested in their local grocery stores, we do at least.

It is kinda funny (Stop & Shop or starvation I say!). I suspect it is because getting groceries is one of the rare shopping activities that is just 100% always a chore. Like if you are going clothes or electronics shopping, you are probably hoping to stumble across something surprising. Food -- I know what food I want, no need for novelty, I just want to get in and out.

> However, this is the start of a worrying global trend. We're currently seeing the West Coast ecosystems shift into something new, maybe grasslands maybe deserts. The Amazon Rainforest is next.

The scary part is that it's not "either or" or "this first, this next". It's going to be happening at the same time. Greenland glacier melts, Siberian wildfires and methane ejections, North American West desertification, Indian peninsula becoming too hot in parts, etc. etc. etc.

Sure, some parts might become more habitable, but overall, there will be far less hospitable areas to live.

If you're making that one time and you already live in California, chances are you earned it in California, and they will come after you for the taxes anyway. For example if that 10M+ is in stock that was granted to you when you lived in California, they will tax you for it anyway regardless of where you live in the US when it vests.
Try using "pv -d <pid>". It will monitor open files on the process and report progress on them.

1) this gets it out of the pipeline.
2) the program gets to have the named arguments.
3) pv's out put is on a separate terminal.
4) your job never needs to know.

Downside: it only sees the currently open files, so it doesn't work well for batch jobs. Still, it's handy to see which file it's on, and how fast the progress is.

Also, for rsync: "--info=progress2 --no-i-r" will show you the progress for a whole job.

> some people think they deserve to pay less than their neighbor did blows my mind still to this day

Deserve has nothing to do with it. It's about both parties negotiating for the best price.

That said, there may be very good reasons not to push too hard. You might want to do business with the other party in the future. You might want a good review on Google. You might not want to take advantage of an elderly person or an inexperienced wide-eyed kid.

But any party going on about what they "deserve" is not going to earn sympathy.

BTW, did you ever watch "King of Cars", a reality TV show at a car dealership? I found it both entertaining and instructive.
You’re missing my point. The Soviets sent basically all of their scientists and engineers to the front, the GULAG, or to a wall. They had NO way to jumpstart jumpstart science and engineering without espionage and captured scientists a it’s incredibly well documented that whole Soviet industries sprang out of NKVD activities.
I'm saying that beings developing "basic math" isn't even a given on this planet.

All of your examples come from societies where not being able to count and record with perfect precision meant that you were going to be screwed by people who could at the market. They're also no strangers to conflict, and math wins battles. They share characteristics because they had similar pressures and desires.

Imagine a thriving group of people who only use the numbers "one", "two", and "many". What sort of environment and point of view would lead to such a situation, given equivalent intelligence? How do they navigate their universe so successfully?

Unfortunately most of the research I've read in this area has focused on what people like this can't do relative to our framework, and hasn't been especially curious about what we can't do relative to theirs.

Could age be a factor?

Once people get older and have families, I feel like they prioritize that over the social aspect of work. So they like remote.

Whereas younger people kind of want to do more socializing at work. So they may prefer going in (and commuting doesn’t feel so bad when you haven’t been doing it for years or decades)

I’m torn on this one; as a photographer and videographer I find the right to shoot or film anything I can see from a legal

We should always be legally allowed to film public places. Europe’s legislative approach to this is wrong, I think, but I see the problem. Perhaps we need different societal norms.

I don't understand the division of CEO roles into two CO-CEOs. Is this generally effective? I would imagine this would make tough decision making nearly impossible? Who takes the blame for bad decisions vs. good decisions? Anyone have some history on why Waymo has two CEOs?
You can pick and choose what you want to be exposed to, and how often. Like I'm willing to risk being exposed with a few friends once a week to play board games, dine indoors every once in a while, preferably during a time when they're not too busy, meet up with family once every month or so, shop in some stores sometimes, depending on how widespread it is currently, how long it's been since I've been vaccinated, etc (I just got the new booster so I'm a bit less strict recently), etc.

If I have to go into the office every day it's extremely difficult to manage that, especially since I know most of those people aren't going to be taking it very seriously.

Also there's been so many 'Covid exposure' emails from my workplace it's been ridiculous. They stopped bothering to report it a while back, but it was already in the double digits.

Who are you scolding and why?
Yeah that is the problem I keep running into when justifying removal of the jones act. I am anti-jones act on a theoretical basis as part of a holistic plan to deregulate the industry and labor.

But it seems especially fucked up to keep US minimum wage / protections in place while simultaneously not requiring the same thing for foreign flagged corporations performing the same service in a domestic capacity. As you say it's basically saying "if the trucker is American, follow us labor laws. IF the trucker is foreign, race to the bottom." Except instead of trucker it's domestic ship crew flying under a different flag. In practice it's just as bad as protectionism except -- it's protectionism for foreign labor and indeed works against the goals of even the Cato institute. It's the ocean going equivalent of allowing that foreign owned gas station on American soil to go by a completely different set of labor laws than an American owned gas station on American soil. And I say that as someone who really hates the principle of the Jones Act on ideological grounds.

Personally I would just completely deregulate US shipping, eliminate maritime labor laws and protections, and then kill the jones act. Everybody gets to go on equal footing. But with the system we live in, without overhauling it significantly, the Jones Act does make sense on some level.
For a free field, yes. But the entities we actually interact with are ... interacting. Mode expansion doesn't work here. Electrons, photons, etc. aren't really "particles" in the sense of ordinary quantum mechanics at all.

> If you find a problem at a process gate (quality gate), then you need to fix the process

This is essentially what Team Software Process aims to do. It applies a feedback model to the development process to continuously improve predictability and quality. However, it's time consuming and for it to work, you have to capture a lot of process artifacts like time spent on a task, defects found at every stage of development on that task. They basically try to apply something similar to statistical process control to software. It works (quality definitely improves), but it can be a PITA.

There is also ways to get unlimited free premium exchange accounts.

Egress is free but not public i.e. you can't just give anyone an url. You have to use your own server to fetch content from R2 and then serve it to your visitors. Each fetch costs money but first 10 mil reads are free and your own server probably has egress fees.
