Most legacy ML models I’ve had to move to production aka not on a laptop. Oh you meant in a good way…
Is it regulation though? Back then there were far fewer people and major social changes were happening - agriculture was rapidly transforming, industrialisation was was just starting, America was a frontier.

Now there are too many people trying to live close to available jobs, agriculture has mechanized meaning there are fewer jobs in rural locations, America industrialised then peaked and de-industrialised a bit, companies are automating processes. All these changes, I don't think you can confidently point to regulation as a single or primary issue.

Rather than look that far to the past, it would probably be better to identify policy that can help in the present and future. Sure, the past can provide lessons, but we can't idealize it or just transfer what worked when there were only 9 million people in the USA.
When you look at this graph, it just screams "noisy number."

In other words, "worker productivity" is a nonsense metric. It'd be more instructive to graph the variables that go into it, going deeper until you find something that makes some intuitive sense.
It's similar to redefining what 'recession' means when things aren't going well.
Is this building more prone to falling apart than that building? Depends how it was built. In other words, no.
"less productive" compared to when? Last year? Historically? Is this a return to the mean?

Just a brief glance at the first chart in the article, and last year was a bigger increase (6%) than this year's decrease (4%), and 2020 had the largest increase ever (10%).

I didn't even bother reading the rest of the article after seeing that.
I believe that deterrence works - it doesn't work perfectly, and is not a guarantee, but I strongly believe that a credible deterrent works far better than any plausible alternative we might have.

The DE is a personal preference thing. It's nobody's job to convince you to try anything.

It's up to you to decide to try it if you're curious.

Since you haven't tried KDE in 15 years, you've probably missed a lot.

There are also countless KDE Reviews online and on YouTube.
> Let's say Houston passes a law which makes it illegal for companies to disclose salary ranges.

This law would be struck down as a 1A violation.

But also I believe the description of the law is slightly wrong: jobs in nyc need postings, so positions in Houston wouldn't have them, but positions in NYC would.

I don't think Christians would agree that God is Nature. Christians believe that God created nature, but that he is outside of it. This is in contrast with some older religions that do worship nature. It is not a coincidence that Christian God is "the Father" while nature is "Mother Nature".
Sorry to hear it's been troublesome.

It often works better to get closer to the organization in terms of bridge-building, and then rephrase your thinking as a problem, not as a solution; also as a question, not as a complaint.

One example (of many potential ways to do this):

"Hi, I was happy to find that you are creating video resources for families. Our family has chosen to avoid the ad-driven sites like Youtube, however. Is there another way to enjoy the same videos on another website or media service?"

This is assuming you are not making a more general complaint as something like a citizen-spectator, which is typically much easier for an organization to outright ignore or push back on (and along these lines I would avoid sending _anybody_ examples of hurtful or disturbing content you think kids may stumble across). Specifics and an amenable approach to specific workarounds are your friend.

If your complaint does have to retain a sort of general "waves hand at straw-children" affect/weakness for any reason, you should find other people who are not OK with this and join up with them, start a petition, or take other productive measures that help groups make progress in such cases.

Is it just me, or doesn't this violate conflict of interest rules concerning loyalty owed to the company that a CEO (or Technoking) works for? Is TSLA at risk for a rogue CEO in the same way that META is?
> But… Maybe just maybe they pull this off

It would be bad if they pull it off. I dread the day draconian call center employers make their workers put on headsets and track their eye movements for 8 hours a day, all while charging them for a virtual cubicle with a view. Look at the marketing materials for their latest headset, that's the way it's going.
Is that the case in CA or NY? I don't know where else Twitter has large offices, but presumably these would be two of the largest. I'm pretty sure in CA the employer doesn't automatically owe severance. It's usually offered in return for a promise not to sue (and sometimes also a promise not to speak ill of).

There's the WARN Act, but I don't think that impacts what happens after a duly-warned layoff, unless I'm mistaken?

Threlte: A component library for Svelte to build and render Three.js scenes
"Believing in democracy" means believing that granting real power to all adult citizens through voting and other forms of feedback is a better form of government than those governmental forms that only grant power to a few. Say, to the members of the central committee of the Communist Party, as in China. Or to a tiny group of oligarchs, apparatchiks and propagandists, as in Russia. Or to a royal family and its courtiers, as in pre-revolutionary France.

Democratic leaders can easily fall due to scandal. Authoritarian figures cannot.

China can commit the enormous mistake of its zero-COVID policy precisely because its leaders will never face a reckoning at the ballot box. Russia can stagnate in kleptocracy for the same reason.

Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, has controlled the Russian Federation for 22 years, starting in 2000. He has signed laws that will allow him to remain in office until 2036, at which point he'll be 84.

His chief opponent, Alex Navalny, is imprisoned in Russia. Navalny's party is not allowed to participate in presidential elections. Navalny survived one attempt to poison him, and another attack in which he lost 80% of the vision of one eye when an assailant sprayed a chemical on his face.

So sure, you can believe that Putin was elected democratically if you want. He'll be elected democratically until he can no longer force Russia to elect him democratically. He resembles an African president-for-life like Mugabe much more than he does a democratically elected leader. If you believe Putin's claims, it would be useless to debate it further.

~2.5:1 is a far cry from your $100,000 cost with $1 return though, and GPs point still stands: increasing funding, even if just until the return is ~1.5:1 (less than the guesstimated ~2.5:1), is clearly a sound investment.

You explained Latour's ideas better than he was able to. I took a course of his on environmental politics a few years ago at Sciences Po. He had many interesting gems to share with us, but the narrative of the class was lost in the chaos of multiple speakers and unstated goals. Though it was frustrating to pick up on the thread that he knew linked so many topics together, I particularly enjoyed how he tried to drill down on what is "nature" and how we use the word "natural" to define so many things. Another one of his brilliant rhetorical questions was when we began to exploit nature for money, whether for gas or to charge people to enter parks. Of course we also touched on Gaia and Lovelock.

For those who are interested in learning a bit more about his work, the NyT profiled him some years ago[1]. It was interesting because he had been assailed by the scientific community for undermining some of their assertions about scientific fact as some kind of a tangible truth to be held, but he seemed to have had a late-career change of heart.

Your implicit claim seems to be that Yeso is a paint program being called by a 19-line C wrapper. Despite its name, this is not the case. The paint-program logic is all in μpaint.c.

μpaint has very few functions available to the user: draw a black pixel, draw a white pixel, and that's it. Such a simple paint program should not require dozens of lines of code, much less hundreds. (Even 19 is pushing it.) But with X-Windows or Win32 it does.

Yeso is just a minimal GUI library that removes the accidental complexity inflicted by X-Windows, which is what porcoda was wishing for, allowing simple GUIs to be written simply. It doesn't really help with complex GUIs because it doesn't have widgets.
uefi's boot services are pretty much implemented this exact way.
He doesn’t seem to be “reforming” Twitter, he seems to be trying desperately to recoup his lost investment.

This wasn’t needed and will be looked upon with embarrassment by him and all of tech in a decade.
I'd argue that "free market" pricing in general is. The attitude that "something is valuable if people are willing to pay for it" is being increasingly overfitted.
tl;dr Mysticism around the science has to be dispelled before people will even consider another cosmology. That's detective work, not scientific modeling. Science is ideological at the point.

That’s not at all what happened.

In fact, my bet is Musk will find out shortly, if not already, that Twitter’s bans made a ton of sense and were extremely pragmatic, and had nothing at all to do with politics.
I wouldn't exactly call something only available in 3.10 as something python "has". Most of us haven't moved past like 3.8 at best, some still using 2.7 for legacy stuff even.
I suppose one way to save the situation would be to build libraries that allowed you to easily build tuis/efficient guis that interact with open-api or graphql endpoints? If there only was a way to encode the workflow in addition to just the apis it could almost be generated.
Getting into Compiler Engineering
I'm quite experienced in backend engineering, but recently I found myself interested in more CS-heavy topics, particularly compilers and query engines. I am reading and doing "Writing a Compiler in Go", but I would like to go deeper into the topic and potentially try to land a relevant job.

Can you please recommend how to get practical experience in this area? What open source projects friendly to beginners to contribute to? What tools to master? Thank you!
It is good Apple (and Google since last I heard they put similar functionality in place or would be soon) are doing this. That doesn't remove the concern that one or two companies deciding to do something can be so damaging to another megacorp who isn't competing in the same space really. Both can be true, speaking as someone who doesn't care for FB or Apple (or Google really either but to have a smartphone you basically have to pick one of the two).
While it seems JPEG XL is very nice, I think the comment 72 from Kornel Lesinski is spot on:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117805...

> In terms of compression performance JPEG XL is really good, but I'm concerned that it does not have more than a single implementation.

> W3C's bar for web standard recommendations is having at least two independent implementations. AVIF has multiple interoperable implementations in multiple languages. JPEG XL doesn't have yet.

> Given the substantial complexity and scope of the JPEG XL format, I'd like to see a proof that a second implementation is possible, and that it's interoperable, so that the Web platform doesn't end needing bug-compatibility with a single C++ codebase.

Is there a requirement to keep the debt-to-GDP ratio below some cap or something? Or is this just the reason the give when questioned about it by the media, etc?
Michael Scott comes out with a pretty good score if you rate him on the duties of a manager alone. He kept all his employees aligned with what the company wanted them to do despite the fact that their behavioral tendencies were invented by sitcom writers, made them all feel like performance would be rewarded even in an environment where promotions never happened,
It’s the usual tension between an easy measure of something highly misleading and a harder to measure actually meaningful index.

IMO going the easier route invariably brings along many other dangerous shortcuts.

For instance here you mention “scientific method” for GDP when the measure in itself isn’t that reliable: what fits inside GDP isn’t fixed nor objective, and a lot of decisions happens upon survey. We have countries (most countries ?) regularly reshaping how they measure GDP to fit the narrative they need.

Show HN: We built a care home software
My other half runs a care home in the UK. She was frustrated with some of the remaining paper based processes, and the 'techy' alternatives were off-putting. So we built Care Home Domestic. The project is self funded and has been a fun and exciting journey! It is currently in use at a few homes and feedback so far is really good. There's loads of work still to do, but we've gone out early and aim to be reactive to the feedback of our users.

This is unrelated but Tesla has no SUV, new sedans, hatchbacks, or anything that's even a concept. I thought it would grow into a larger car company with a more diverse offering.
This isn't an especially useful frame. Lots of things make sense if you put yourself in Zuckerberg's shoes and assume he minmaxes for whatever random thing has captured his attention.

The real question is, what should Meta shareholders do in response to this stuff? What would happened with respect to the shareholders if Zuckerberg took his foot off the gas pedal with the "Metaverse" stuff?
I think the idea was ok but the execution was terrible.

VR was too extreme and narrow a view. The meta verse should have been the extending the space where people and technology over lap, not trying to force everyone to move into frankly terrible VR.

Meta should have went all in on wearable and other augmented reality stuff, hook that into people's Facebook etc.

Imo, HN is probably the only social media I actually use. Sparingly as I'm more certain that much online discourse is pure fabrication.

The bill was $10,000 for a $3,000 job.

At $10,000 a pop there'll be a lot fewer hydrants installed, and hence greater risk of catastrophic fire.
I have no idea why they assigned it this early, but that seems as likely a reason I can think of.

It was only assigned the day we finalized the contract, and there was a lot of work before that working the proposal through the system and getting reviews from the target audience and people familiar with the topic. It's only now that I'm expecting to hand content over on a schedule that they assigned the number.

My point is that "one colonization of a neighbouring planet every 100k years" is a fast speed, not a slow one. A hypothetical alien civilization who got to intelligent life and space-capable technology 1% faster then we did would have a 45 million year head start on us. A hypothetical alien civilization whose development happened exactly like on Earth but on a star which is not as young as ours could easily have a 500 million year head start on us - those are the timeframes on which we have to judge whether they have enough time to reach us; and that is time enough to colonize every planet in the galaxy many times over even at those "slow" speeds.

If we ever meet alien life and it turns out that their level of development is just 10000 years behind or ahead of ours, that would be a more unlikely coincidence than having the first stranger you meet have the exact same age and birthday as you do.
Admitting you are bias doesn't remove the issue that you are bias.
It's because they've committed to the lie for years now and they've taken people's money on the promise of full self-driving that has still not been delivered.

Tesla has falsely claimed that full self-driving will be delivered "next year" for years: https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-promises-full-self-driving-ne...

Tesla falsely claimed in 2016 that all Teslas had "the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver": https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

And Elon Musk said that without full self-driving Tesla is "worth basically zero": https://electrek.co/2022/06/15/elon-musk-solving-self-drivin...

Tesla has pointlessly backed itself into this corner, even though Teslas aren't very good at backing themselves into any space:

Having visited Bhutan and spent a considerable amount of time there, I've noticed the locals aren't that much happier than most other places in the world. It's difficult to be happy when you have to constantly worry about how to put food on the table. I've gotten swindled enough times in Bhutan, however not as much as in certain "shit-hole" cities that I shall not name.

The whole "GNH" concept was created by McKinsey, contracted by Bhutan - I know the leads on that project. While it does bring in some level of national identity to rally around, I think the primary benefit it brings is in marketing. There are some meditation centers in Bhutan that charge more than $5K/day, targeted towards the extremely rich who have lost a sense of peace in their pursuit of wealth. This, of course, is a grand con - there's no happiness you're going to find in Bhutan that you can't find in your immediate surroundings.

New Zealand, on the other hand, I feel is doing a lot better. There's a general acceptance that communing with nature is important, while at the same time, they readily embrace modern comforts and continue building their economy. They're also attempting to build a better way to interact with natives and are creating programs such as EHF (ehf.org) to attempt to tackle the grand planet-wide problems, with impact as a focus.

True impact is impossible to measure with just any one number. Anyone who attempts to put a number to this will run into the trouble of that number getting gamed.
