Every time I've ever had Windows issues. A fresh install is suggested no less than 3 steps into the troubleshooting process.

Usually something like:

1. Run these handful of commands that never actually fix anything but take hours to complete (sfc/dism/chkdsk/etc).

2. Reseat RAM/GPU/CMOS.

3. Out of ideas, may as well just fresh install.
I don’t think it’s an agenda so much as a desire to create a grand victim/hero narrative.

Let me show you the backdoor:

Find a company whose open source projects you are interested in. Dive in and and start fixing things. Then if you really like it after a couple weeks start nudging around for a job. If you do good work they'll just give it to you, no bullshit funnel required.

I like this method because you aren't just doing l33t coding exercises to work on some sight unseen codebase that makes you suicidal and throw you into existential crisis.

> And to remember that WW1 was ended, in part, by labour action: the October Revolution in Russia, and the Kiel Mutiny in Germany.

I don't know much about Russia, Germany certainly has given Lenin a train ticket so that he could participate in that revolution, because they thought that it would help their interests. But for Germany, the theory that Germany lost the war because of the revolution is the so called "Dolchstoßlegende", a right wing conspiracy theory. Germany has already lost the war before that revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab-in-the-back_myth

TLDR: the job market (for senior talent) is much better than you'd think, from my observation. But if coming from FAANG expect compensation cut (and that's probably ok!)

I didn't get laid off, but. Quit Google at the height of the frenzy last December. Coasted for a while doing my own thing and entertaining a job offer that fell through. After that through the spring and summer it was actually slow and difficult finding work. I signed a contract that was initially very exciting and promising but then found there was a crypto/eth association I was not comfortable with, so started looking immediately and was very worried because of the layoffs that were starting to blow up.

But in the end I actually found it not bad and I had the choice of basically two excellent and exciting jobs. I'm still not 100% certain I picked the right one, but here goes! And holy crap am I tired of interviews.

Similarly I have a friend who got laid off from Meta in the latest round, and she's already interviewing in boatloads of places.

I think the key thing is that compensation that's out there won't match what is made at a FAANG, esp with the latest round of layoffs. But I'm personally fine with that. In exchange for getting my soul back.
I wouldn't worry about that too much as someone's already done something similar for reddit (https://towardsdatascience.com/using-nlp-to-identify-reddito...), and has released their code publicly (https://github.com/jabraunlin/reddit-user-id)

Given the technique used, I don't see why something simple and local wouldn't defeat it? The "easiest" technique would be to use this weighting as a negative metric in rewriting.

What is a conspiracy theory but a mystery cult? To be sure, the ancient mystery cults practiced in secret and only revealed the mysteries to the inner circle. Our modern mystery cults preach their secrets openly. They are alike in that the true believers have understanding that is not available to the outer world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Roman_mysteries

====

To be clear:

1. There are real conspiracies.

2. None of them control the whole world, or are responsible for all of the problems that any one person or group of people faces.

3. The 'mystery'/'conspiracy' helps someone make sense of a world that makes no sense to them; you cannot disprove the mystery with evidence, the mystery is the only thing they have to hang onto. You have to give them something else to hang onto before you take away the mystery; by the time they have reconnected with the world, you don't need to disprove the mystery.

The connection to the article is the dichotomy of the fable vs history; myth vs reality. Humans still have the same tendencies as they ever did.
I take issue with your statement that theft is a "disease." I do agree that for a small segment of the population, economic conditions are extremely difficult... but I don't think these are the people committing the majority of thefts. As long as you start with the assumption that theft is a disease, i.e. something that happens TO an individual, rather than a choice, we're going to have greatly-differing opinions on how to remediate.

Curse of modern life. I co-work, or virtually co-work, so it feels awkward if I'm goofing on on social media with everyone else working around me.

Less helpful are tools. But more helpful than nothing. I use Chrome plugin 'Intention' and block sites like HN for certain hours of the day on my router.

I know I've got it bad because of how many times I'll see the HN (or whatever site) block screen, go back to my work, and ONE MINUTE LATER tab back over and refresh without thinking. It's a reflex.

And yeah sometimes I just disable everything and waste time. But sometimes the roadblocks work and get me back on course.

There are a lot of FAANG-adjacent companies that offer competitive comp, Stripe, AirBNB, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. I left Amazon a year ago to work for one, most of my peers are AWS or Google engineers and the quality of life is much better.

I interviewed at smaller companies but the main problem was they were out of touch with TC and unwilling to offer equity, and at least one place was kind of rude about it when I asked. Unless you’re desperate, no one from FAANG is going to work below market for a place that doesn’t give employees a stake in the business. Unless you’re Netflix and you offer dump-trucks worth of cash, equity is where the upside is.

The cult of personality is based around his ability to turn “nothing” into gold, lets break this down.

Tesla - Took an already well engineered Lotus chassis and electrified it. There were plenty of companies around that did the same thing, he just had the PR abilities to elevate it to the next step. As for the next step, look up the Henry Fisker/Tesla lawsuits regarding the design of the Model S.

Space-X - Purchased some of the admittedly best engineered rocket engines to come out of the Soviet Union, the RD-180. It was a surplus closed cycle combustion (efficient) left over from the Energia/Buran program. They then reverse engineered it, and built a small single bell model. This fact seems to have been scrubbed from the internet. This was all to win the Ansari X Prize. Then he tries to revise his own history by selling a bullshit ICBM story.

If memory serves this was on a PBS Nova doc around the xprize. There is a specific scene where Elon walks by his newly purchased russian engines. Now he has the gall to use US protectionist laws to block ULA from doing the same thing?!!!!

I was an admitted member of the Elon cult until I saw him for who he is. Spoiled entitled snake oil salesman manchild.

The contributions of 10000s of employees in Spacex and Tesla are what make those companies great.

While I am a big human-powered-transportation supporter, feeding a human is generally more expensive than paying for gas to have a machine do it.

A human needs some 2kJ / kg / km to ride. That's 1.6MJ.

A car needs ~15L gas per 100km, so that's 45MJ for a 10km ride.

While the car uses 30x as much energy, it will only cost you $1.30.

The human needs 1.6MJ of food. That's about a grilled chicken sandwich. Which will cost you $4.30...

That might seem like a logical point, but think about it a little more; if speeding is helping some people to not crash, then the point you’re effectively making is that speeding might actually make you even more than twice as likely to cause a fatal accident as a drunk driver, but sometimes helps enough that it evens out to be only twice as likely to cause a fatality.

It’s not true that non-crashes aren’t represented here- the NHTSA statistics capture the rate of crashes in terms like crashes per vehicle miles traveled, which represents both the probability of crashing and the probability of not crashing (one minus the probability of crashing). The fact that speeding is a huge factor in many crashes and that it increases the chance of death does in fact demonstrate that it’s overall less safe to speed. Speed might anecdotally help some people in some situations, but the actual stats do prove that the net effect of speeding is greater risk.
This politicization of everything seems to have just rendered most everything useless, I want to be skeptical but theres just so much noise from the anti-Vaxxers on some level that’s the point but the analysis from the org that requested this data and wants to raise skepticism about vaccine injuries seems shallow.

The vaccine skeptics data is just so bad, I joked with my anti-vax friend that all the stuff he was sending me actually raised my trust in the government and mainstream media(I don’t think he liked that but it was over text so I couldn’t really tell)

Mostly As a skeptic it’s always going to raise my warning signs when the data comes from someone with such a strong agenda.
Say you see user2 listed in bold on user1's page. That means that user1 is also in user2's top 20 users. In my experience it is often an indicator of a good match (but not always).
You didn't understand my point. If bitcoin had 1 minute blocks instead of 10 minute blocks, more than 3% of miners would find a block in their life time. But that change alone would not change any meaningful properties of bitcoin. You think bitcoin is a total waste, I get it. But that statistic doesn't help your argument.

> The answer isn't "as much as you can afford period no follow-up questions."

You are right, and this isn't how bitcoin works. The amount of mining should be determined by the block reward, market price, and fees per block. Mining in excess of this is not economically rational, and shouldn't happen. So it is not "unlimited security" at any cost"

Where in that tweet does Hal characterize bitcoin as ridiculous or unsustainable?

I think it's a tradeoff. As a comparison, I like learning about coding and software architecture through videos and other online resources. The field is so vast that looking at other peoples' code is the easiest way to absorb the broadest amount of material. However, eventually, actually sitting down and writing original software is key to achieving true expertise. I suspect reading & writing follows a similar pattern.

Absolutely loved this game. Playing through it felt like the first encounter with something unprecedented. Like it reminded me of the first time I read a graphic novel like Maus - the elevation of something I was already pretty familiar with in ways that are so surprising yet ideal to the art form. It has the air of a masterwork, created by artisans at the height of their abilities, driven by their passion for the medium in which they’ve chosen to express themselves.

It’s left me feeling completely reenergized about games and what’s possible with a relatively small team and budget.
It will probably be difficult to have any mainstream support of that idea, because allowing people to be alone and think by themselves goes against the society we’ve built for centuries.

Having low outgoings. While I would prefer to have income (I'm hoping to be able to buy a house at some point), I'm a single person with no dependents, and I probably spend around £1200/month in total (including rent). And that's in London - one of the most expensive cities in the world - and without putting any effort into living cheaply (I often buy groceries at the local store rather than the cheaper big supermarket for example). If I chose to live somewhere cheaper (even in the uk) that could probably be halved without completely destroying my quality of life.
It depends, but even travel is restricted within 70m of a house… so 250ft?
