> "Conspiracies exist, therefore my pet conspiracy theory should be treated seriously by default" is the fallacy.

I think it is worth mentioning that this fallacy manifests in at least two forms:

1. When a conspiracy theorist actually says it (I have never encountered it despite spending substantial amount of time in various conspiracy theory forums). As a general rule, when a non-conspiracy theorist is describing things that happen in the conspiracy world (where they do not go), it is safe to assume that they have lost control of their imagination, and this is usually extremely obvious from their description.

See:

https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%C3%AFve_realism_(psychology...

2. When someone other than a conspiracy theorists imagines that a conspiracy theorist (typically also imagined, but not always) has said it or believes it (neither of which is required to true for it to be perceived as true).

I don't see anything upthread that "the fallacy" could be referring to in this instance.

It is perhaps also worth noting that "should be treated seriously by default" isn't actually all that bizarre (depending on the conspiracy theory, of course) - take something seriously is very different from believe to be necessarily true, though at the perceptual level things that are different can appear to be identical, and vice versa.
"Kleptocracy" results in net wealth transfer from corrupt African and former Soviet countries to Europe and America. Why should I be mad about that?
If you enjoy Tracy Kidder's writing (and I very much do) I would also suggest just about anything by Michael Lewis - his "Liars Poker", "Moneyball", and "The Big Short", to name a few, are really exceptionally well researched and written.

But it's more fun when other's help drive the point further for me!

I would also include conbase (not a typo) ties to Goldman Sacs and YC, but unless you've seen its horrible descent over the years you wont know why they should be included.
I cannot for the life of me understand why Tailwind gets so much exposure and generates so much discussion on HN. It is only barely interesting. As far as I know, all it does is wrap CSS rules into a form that can be used in the style of inlined CSS.

It's not new, interesting, difficult, or complex. I don't have much opinion on whether it's actually good or not (I happily use modular CSS), but the subject keeps popping up over and over.

You realize, with a phone number, all payment details for the SIM can be accessed?

And that from the SIM, you get IMEI, which can be cross ref'd with telecom logs to get geolocation?

Phone numbers are basically a glorified UUID. Also, in most jurisdictions it is required by law that telcos have tight integration with Law Enforcement, and even with the U.S., any type of investigation will start with a pull for the individual's phone number from whereever, cross ref that with SIM financial payment info, cross ref'd with bank accounts/credit card activity for purchase activity. Then cross-ref with Driver's license/civic/court records?

By DEFAULT. Third party doctrine. It ain't protected by the Fourth Amendment. In less zealous states, forget about principled restraint. The phone number is effectively your citizen Id.

When people like me start raising hell about the dangers of UUID primitives, this is what we're trying to protect you from.

No one can be trusted with the view created by the aggregation and cross-reference of this type of info. Every government/legislature/population will eventually "think of the children/criminals" their way to it anyway though, while law enforcement jumps up and down with glee at how complete a picture they can get through their fusion centers. Then it's just a matter of how long it takes for an autocrat to insert themselves into a place of power until the technological marvel that empowers law enforcement to "ensnare the bad guys", has "bad guys" surreptitiously crossed out and replaced with some signifier for a set of people that contains you.

If you don't think that happens, you ain't been paying enough attention. If you wonder why that hasn't been an issue before, it was because part of what puts a check on LE was the burden of physically referencing and cross-ref'ing data, which would put a fundamental cap on the ability for any abuse of power to materialize.

We're losing that check. Quickly.
> “I thought using these Fitbit-like devices on the neck collar was a creative way to understand resting, flying, or foraging behaviors. And when Ryan was doing all this physical work to figure out what this accelerometry data would tell us, I was very eager to see what the results were,” Ward says. “But when it was all analyzed, I was like, ‘Wow, that's not too exciting.’ Basically, when you harass, they fly a little bit more because you're scaring them, or they might be alert a little more, but it wasn't a fundamental difference.”

Well, that’s one way for a PI to publicly skewer their former grad student.
You are moving the goalposts. The parent post was comparing non-animal agriculture with animal agriculture in terms of biodiversity. I'll copy it here for you.

> It sounds like you are suggesting non-animal agriculture kills or displaces more animals than animal agriculture.

Animal agriculture is better for biodiversity than crop monocultures. I understand that the truth can be shocking for some people, but there are dozens of ecological studies pointing to the environmental value of pastures and meadows, specially as ecotones.

As the initial plan to demonize cattle failed, now you are silently replacing "non-animal agriculture" by "rainforests" as a straw man to attack the original claim. Sorry, but this was not the point that we were discussing.

"Non-animal agriculture", also known as "Agriculture", has replaced happily as many rainforest hectares as cattle, if not more. Take a look to the fate of Indonesian rainforests

No, the problem with AI in healthcare is that like much of healthtech is that it further reduces the ability of providers (especially in hospital settings) to respond to fluid and evolving situations that may fall outside the dotted lines that the AI understands or scenarios the system allows you to work within. Specifically, it creates further red tape that providers need to worry about, more checkboxes on an iPad to be clicked, more time required per patient on administrivia.

It could be done well but it will be done poorly, will increase the burden of front-line workers while making administrators feel like they can say they accomplished a big project this year. At the end of the day rather than making healthcare more auditable, practitioners will learn to just quickly fill in bogus data on the new system so they can go deal with the patient that's coding and when the AI gives a recommendation a provider doesn't like they'll just ignore it anyway.

In a good system that wasn't falling apart at the seams, AI in healthcare would be a boon, but in a broken system that's falling apart and failing its front-line workers, it will just serve as a distraction and another burden.
The real-time nature is not what makes it closed though. It's simply that it's been designed to be closed.

For example, Intel's ME could be a really useful feature if we could do what we want with it. Instead they lock it down so it's just built-in spyware.
Eglot does not have as many dependencies as lsp-mode and was designed to work closer with Emacs built-ins. Lsp-mode comes with many non-standard gui extensions — with some of them being quite cool, honestly — but they make the setup more complicated. Eglot supposedly just works out of the box.

All that cash started in 2008.

You're telling me after a decade and half that suddenly this free money matters?

No, what happened was corporations saw $2000 subsidy checks floating around and knew they could squeeze.

Sure it was gentle at first, but the difference now than other times is just how few competitors there are and just how easy it is to price match your opponent.

The free money has been flowing long before this, the only difference was whose pocket was ripe for picking.
That is a you problem. The website is not responsible for your data plan.
Their ecological niche is to live in places with short grasses (easy to notice predators), near water. The natural predator of adults is wolves and coyotes. Their natural response to a threat isn't to run, but to mob up and threaten back.

As a society, we love living near water and build water features. We prefer to have grasses trimmed short. Wolves and coyotes generally avoid the kinds of places we live in (though some coyotes are getting closer). We back down when a goose threatens us back, and learn to give them space.

In short, our behaviour has created an ideal environment for the Canada Goose.
The existence of this option is what actually finally convinced me to give haskell a real try, but I have to say, I haven't actually ever used it. I alwyas just use undefined to defer any type error, actually seeing each spot there is an error and comprehending how to delay the problem for later basically seems to help me comprehend the problem I need to solve.
Humans first damage or appropriate much of their natural habitat, then build parks that are pretty appealing to geese (lots of grass to eat, bodies of water, long sight lines), then get upset that the parks are full of geese.

I think I'm going to have to take the side of the geese here.

The layoff package seems fairly generous:

- "Settlement - We will pay 3 months of compensation for all departing employees, and more for those with longer tenure."

- "Bonus. We will pay a prorated bonus to all eligible departing employees"

- "Individual & career support. We’ll do our best to connect departing employees with other companies and professional networks as well as other useful sources that may help you navigate through this difficult time"

- "Immigration support. We know that this situation is particularly tough for departing employees who currently work on a visa. We have made individual arrangements for you in order to accommodate better for your particular situation"
The whole exclusivity argument in this transaction is bizarre to me. Sony were the ones who pioneered paying studios to have platform exclusive rights to various games. There are any number of titles that are or were platform exclusives on Playstation. For goodnees sake, you don’t even have Spiderman as a playable character in Guardians of the Galaxy unless you play on Playstation.

So what makes COD so special? I just don’t see it.

But the thing about this argument is it doesn’t have to stand up in court - it just has to get enough traction with the M&A regulators or their political masters to put a stop to the acquisition.
No, the moral of the story is that just like you wouldn't allow a 4 year old to choose his own bed time or to eat candy for dinner, you also shouldn't let someone with compromised mental faculties make decisions about living in storage rooms.
I used the MV/8000 (what the machines were eventually called by DG marketing) for cross development of games when I was at Atari.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the OS and tooling on the MV/8000. It had a very capable screen editor (definitely not Emacs class, but still quite usable) and its file system and command language were pretty decent. It felt like someone had mashed together VAX/VMS and Unix. Perhaps that sounds horrible, but it could have been far, far, worse.

Ask HN: Experienced engs, how are you finding better opportunities (passively)?
I posted this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33783313

Piggybacking off of that, if you're an experienced (mid-level & beyond) eng, where are you going to check out new opportunities passively? Are you just depending on recruiters reaching out?

Are there any platforms or mailing lists one can sign up to anonymously keep tabs on interesting opportunities? Also, what about a new opp draws your attention (aside from total comp :D)

This isn't about Ford v. Dodge. I said nothing about legal compulsion. This is about the "realpolitik" of operating a publicly-traded company.

Consider:

1. The market has an ability to "lose faith in" an equity, and do a mass sell-off of that equity, destroying/bankrupting the company — see e.g. what almost happened with British bonds a few months ago. Essentially, an uncoordinated boycott, as a result of a suddenly different output to a Keynesian beauty-contest (i.e. everyone thinks that a sufficient number of other people will sell based on the news to trigger a collapse of the price; so they have to sell first.)

2. In companies owned by majority-external shareholders — especially when those shareholders are market-makers (as is true in Apple's case: https://money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/shareholders.html?s...) — the board is very well aware of #1, and so hires/fires the CEO based in part on whether they will avoid actions that will result in the market "losing faith" in the company. (How do they know? Because those market-makers are the ones who would, in aggregate, do most such selling-off!)

That's what I mean by "Apple is constitutionally incapable of doing X" — not that they'd face some sort of corporate malfeasance suit if they did (who even cares?) but that any CEO hired by a public corporation is operating under a dagger of Damocles that they know will fall the moment they do anything to lose the public's faith in their company's stock.

Costco paying above-market, and Amazon not putting out any dividends, are not actions that result in mass sell-offs — especially because they're things the companies have done from the start (so if anyone got in on these companies in the first place, they got in knowing that these are things these companies do.)

Apple exiting China is the opposite: a stark, sudden shift in strategy, in a direction the self-interested parts of the global(!) market wouldn't care for. (Emphasis because mutual funds et al have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, and those shareholders aren't just American, but all over the world — including China!)
Presumably by hiring different skills then they’re firing.

Like all consultancies, "it depends."

I've found three core customer sets that helped us define a sustainable business:

(1) government agencies (which tend to put most expenditure under labor categories, so they hire a lot of long-term consultants and contractors)

(2) mid-to-small sized non-technology firms that want better data science strategy or want to build data-driven features into applications/products (especially in novel ways)

(3) smaller technology companies that don't have the MLE and data management system capabilities.

My career has been in heavily regulated industries, so our customers often have an appreciation for the management and governance portion after experiencing negative data science outcomes from maverick types.

> But closing your eyes and pretending everything is a file is a security disaster waiting to happen (actually, happening every day).

How so? I can see the limited access control in Linux is an issue, and for this reason augmented security MAC (Mandatory Access Control) controls exist like SELinux and AppArmor.

But I don't see how the nature of everything being a file is a vulnerability in itself.

I'd be happy to learn how though.

Yes, and how's that ideological conversion going?

Honestly that's worse than I thought. I work in the field, particularly in relation to accountable AI, and it's not OK to have models that tell you whether to check on people to make sure they're not dying unless there is also a human checking every case, which I hope is what's going on. How would you like to be different than the training data and deemed "no risk, 100% confidence" when you actually have a life threatening problem?
You mean conspiracy theory sites like NPR? Because well after the date on which your link was posted as a revelation, the video apparently ceased to exist because it was... drumroll... the victim of an accidental digital storage failure. So yes, laugh at the conspiracy theorists if you like, because they are often stubbornly and very emotionally obsessed with their beliefs, but at least try to remember that conspiracies do indeed exist as a thing, and also check the follow-up on your own links perhaps.

What's next though? To paraphrase Hemingway - It all happened gradually and then suddenly.
That would be a non-trivial undertaking. Modern CPUs have a lot of silicon dedicated to branch prediction and fetching RAM to populate caches and so on.

Fetching the data that the hardware threads want so they can do work is a very large portion of what a complete modern day CPU does. Networking and graphics are also complete career paths each in their own right.

When the 6502 is your CPU, it is possible for the entire computer it powers to be understood by a single person, and that's not possible with modern day, high end CPUs, not at the same level of detail. A single self-paced course which covers it all probably isn't realistic, but one for CPU, one for GPU, and one for network, those seem like workable things.

I've two models implement, one of which is the networkx model, which I would recommend at the moment.

I implemented this because networkx was to memory consuming and too slow.

Where networkx crashed with 24k nodes I was able to embed them with this library, it will still take several hours, but at least it's doable. The number of iterations should be on same magnitude as the number of nodes. For my graph #Iteration = 1/2 #nodes was sufficient.

Ok, so what would be involved in putting it into circulation? In your original analogy, you simply you said you wrote an IOU. Unless putting it into circulation is trivial, then your analogy is neither solid nor appropriate. A substantial amount of work goes into providing a stable currency.

Just being perfectly honest here, I think your position has been shown to be logically inconsistent in multiple ways.

1. We started this discussion by talking about whether or not investment in BlockFi represented a destruction of capital. You said it didn't because money invested is not capital. You then later admitted that there are definitions of capital that include money. I would consider this an uncharitable reading of the initial point regarding investment in BlockFi. If there is a valid definition of the word "capital" in which the original point is true, that it is charitable to assume that was the intended definition.

2. You agree that burning money in your bank account would make you less wealthy, but somehow disagree that you cannot consider this destroying your wealth. That's inconsistent.

3. The "car IOU" analogy has an obvious flaw in that burning it does not reduce your wealth as was the case in the burning money example. Despite this absolutely crucial difference, you maintain it is somehow valid without an explanation of the difference.
