One of the most interesting books that I've read in a long time:

Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don't Rhyme--And Other Oddities of the English Language [0]

This gave me incredible insight into the formation of modern English. I read it voraciously. Very good book to understand why it's such a mess.

I bought it after hearing an interview with the author on a podcast.[1] I think anyone (English-speaking) who enjoys and appreciates language (and podcasts) will get a kick out of it. The author is passionate and excited by the topic, so very entertaining.

Automation still requires workers.

And those workers would get more money. And have more stuff, better medical care, more experiences.

And then someone would say “thats unfair they have more money than me”.

Rinse and repeat.
I believe Kanye posted some private comms between them on Parler or Truth Social. I've not read them but it might include some of his reasoning.
Yeah, all those people working three part-time jobs and skipping food so their children can eat should just work harder!

Becoming a billionaire is definitely from hard work and not at all luck and being born with the tight parents!
Slow startup times really shouldn’t be an issue in this decade. This is something that was an issue maybe in the early 2000s.

You will generally be able to turn on the camera more quickly than you can navigate to the camera app. (Physical switch plus sub one second time to turn on).
calling Austen a CEO is like calling Bernie Madoff an investor. sure maybe it's 'technically' true, but they're both just clueless scammers looking to make a buck.
Most people would want to do something but not necessarily something useful. Just think about what hobbies people have, and ask yourself what percentage of those are as economically valuable as what those same people do in their day jobs. I'd suggest there are almost no cases like that, otherwise those people would quit their jobs and spend all that time on their hobbies instead. (And indeed, some have.)

It's true.

The people saying Nobody Wants to Work Anymore are the ones who truly don't want to work - they just want to tell other people [what|how|when|where] to work.

There's also those who don't want to work by telling others they can generate currency/value using computers to generate some semi-random numbers and writing it down, declaring the random number has value.

This is why I got a Fuji XT-30. It’s got a physical control for everything. I don’t have to use the menu unless I’m doing something unusual.

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like there are many cameras designed this way anymore.
I'm surprised Apple hasn't decided to kill the dslr and mirrorless market with something like that.
There was a time when if you wanted to know a phone number you had to manually consult a huge book, if you wanted to share a photo with family you had to manually carry the print to them, if you wanted to watch a movie at home you had to drive to blockbuster, and if you wanted to hurl abuse at a politician you had to wait for them to hold a rally in your city and queue for hours to get a front row seat.

Now I can find phone numbers, share photos with family, watch movies on demand and hurl abuse at politicians, all without leaving my chair.

Solar doesn't deliver to a wooded property either, doesn't mean the solar maps are bullshit.

You can cut trees down if you want satellite or solar, this is not impossible to do. You can dig a trench to run fiber from the road, but might be difficult if the ground has large boulders in it, you can run fiber on poles if you cut trees down to make room.

I could not disagree more.

Professional photographers require good reliable connectivity. Nikon cameras are extremely clunky in this regard.

Similarly, their menu system is atrocious. I am not saying this as somebody who looked at a camera once and said "this is too hard". I ran a photo business from 2008 to 2018, read all the manuals intimately and worked with Nikon cameras daily, and came to it from techie nerd perspective and knew what every button option and mode does in intricate detail.

"Great hardware, horrible software" is well understood state of camera business last 2 decades.

I now have two young kids. I have 4 dslr and two mirrorless cameras at home... And take kids photos with my cell - because it's convenient accessible and fast to transmit. Why can't I have an efficient sharing work flow with my $3000 camera? Because they make sucky closed systems and refuse to change open or learn.
No. Banning someone because they posted the symbol of a group that murdered millions of people based on their race is very different from banning them because they posted “men are not women”.

You never touched a real camera, did you? AF speed depends on the lense, older ones with a screw drive AF are slower than newer ones where the AF motor is in the lens. Camera AF speed is incredible so, starting with mid-level cameras, let alone to speak of the more pro-grade stuff. And those cameras are ready to shoot faster from fully of than it takes to get them from holding them to your side to your eye. Definitely faster than getting a smartphone camera ready.
Typing is nice, and when one is working within an existing system where environment variables are the main way for communicating data between parts of a system (which is many popular systems today), this kind of typing looks like it can add some nice benefits.

The blog post linked here is thinking about how the systems themselves could be designed differently, whether that's OS's, frameworks, platforms, languages, clusters, networks, or other things.
Bayes: Radical, Liberal, or Conservative? (2007)
The technology lifecycles haven't lined up. 10-15 years ago there were phenomenal DSLRs coming out, and honestly there weren't any good enough smartphones worth connecting them to. The iPhone App Store was in its infancy (it's only 14 years old); there weren't / still aren't any good, widespread standards for fast, personal-area-network data transfers of photos. Smartphones didn't have a lot of memory either: the iPhone 4 baseline model in 2010 ran with 4 GB, and the top of the line was 32 GB, with no slots for memory swapping - not something you can sync a lot of photos to at all.

I don't think, 10 years ago, camera manufacturers could've adopted a meaningful integration strategy. They could perhaps have entered the fray as Android phone makers and try to solve it, but it would've been a bigger jump than just integrating.
Freedom of speech is an ideal - as such it is not easily achieved or maintained, even by the "best" of us - or those who claim to believe most in it.

If you read Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media you'll find this "irony" repeated throughout history. It's a problem of human nature, and that's what ideals arduously seek to overcome.

Yes, I know lots of people who want to work. They derive satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from it. That they get paid isn't the primary thing for them -- that's just a necessity of life.

But they wouldn't feel that way working just anywhere. They have found a great match with an employer who treats them well.
I contend that the logic of segregation became unsustainable legally, morally, and in the social conscience of a large portion of the public. With the demonstrations, riots, etc. it became necessary to make the appropriate legal adjustments. However, whites largely weren’t comfortable with the sudden requirement to desegregate and white flight from cities and the other things I mentioned in my original comment occurred.

From my perspective, what occurred is that people wanted desegregation in principle but not in their particular social circles. They didn’t want large numbers of black students in their child’s school for instance.

I love this project and idea, where you’ve got something that isn’t a business but doesn’t need to be because the costs are so low (outside of labor of love). Kudos to these folks, you love to see it.
Are those going to people who "don't want to work", though? That was your original frame: assistance for unemployed/underemployed, not just assistance for people other than you.

Most statistics I've seen show that student debt holders are employed at a greater rate than the general population (not surprising, they have bills to pay). And of course pandemic relief was quite famously disproportionately aimed at employERs. All those PPP loans did nothing for the unemployed, as they only went to firms with existing payrolls.

I really think if you look at this in a more detached way, you'd maybe find that the "government helps people don't want to work" frame of these arguments is misplaced (which is the point of the linked article).
Hey @CrypticShift, indeed the library was designed for that type of data manipulation, which I wasn't able to do using other plugins.

The idea was to create an intuitive bridge with python, so any type of advanced operations could be performed on your vault.

It is still in it's early stages, so do backup your vault before using it. And feel free to share your feedback if/when you use it !

White flight was more about racial unrest and riots.

I don’t exactly blame people for leaving. You can support civil rights and not want to live in a neighborhood where quality of life is getting worse.

I suppose the employee can opt to take fewer planned vacation days, reserving the balance for unplanned absences. This would require the balance to be rolled over, or the employee compensated at the end of the year or other period, otherwise it would make employees unhappy.

Perhaps a mechanism that allows for unplanned time off, with a little education on how to properly plan PTO to allow for unplanned leave.
For sure. At the same time, reading Socrates, he comes across as a pompous know-it-all, the sort you wouldn't want to spend an evening with. When adolescents take on that hectoring attitude, it's kinda cute and adorable, look at Young Jimmy there, such an idealistic kid, and going to college! On an adult man it's just exhausting. Anyway, but yeah, very principled man, until death, commendable really.

Rather than seizing money and capital why not just make the automation affordable for everyone? That's what's worked in the past with washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, electric ovens, furnaces, cars, power tools, etc. All of those are labour saving devices that have replaced backbreaking physical work that everyone used to have to do on a daily basis. Instead of seizing the means of production you should be designing and selling the means of production to the largest possible audience. With cheap computation and electronics it's now possible to set up a small partially automated factory at home. Wasn't that literally the dream of past communists? The workers having ownership of the means of production and reaping all the rewards of their labour?
The rail workers have 4? 5? weeks of paid leave already. The issue at hand is "sick days" i.e. days off on short or no notice.

I tanked one by forgetting the syntax for a for-loop once. I hardly ever used it at the time since I mostly dealt with infinite iterators.
I don’t think that’s necessarily the driver here though, from reading the linked article and others. Rather the dynamic is that these railroads have incredibly dispersed ownership, almost entirely by purely financial owners. Management has very little stake. If any of them operates at a slightly less margin than the others, activist investors will pop up and easily get support to replace the management.

But if they all operated at slightly less margin, this dynamic would not occur; and the vast bulk of investors are not going to flee from an otherwise stable and long-term profitable asset class because it becomes a tiny (perhaps not even noticed) increment less lucrative. The vast bulk of investors are not going to march with (financial) pitchforks to Washington about this.

Think of the alternative: that no stockholder in any business would ever tolerate companies offering reasonable sick day policies. That is obviously not true; in most industries, at most companies, there is some kind of sick policy. So we should look at what is unique about this industry for the cause.

This reminds me so much of the ClojureScript "win". I love that JS is rounding into shape as a serious language, but the version turmoil! CLJS was "done" when it came out, so the CLJS developer is insulated from any churn.

I know little about Dart/Flutter history, but it sounds like ClojureDart might do a lot for Flutter development if only for CLJD's stability.
I know people like that. Typically they make passive income from their assets (stocks and real estate). But they don't want to admit it, so they make up fake jobs like "day trading and selling online products".
This is absolutely not a problem with DSLRs or large format cameras.

>Instead of shooting at 1/8 or 1/15 in low light it could "just" shoot images at 1/125 or even 1/1000 then compensate for minute movements of the camera to get perfect sharpness, and then merge them to denoise it, and boom, near-noise-free, near blur free (just the blur from target movement, not the photographer) image in low-light.

There is absolutely nothing stopping a DSLR or large format camera user from doing exactly that. This is also a very common procedure in astro photography where dozens of such photos are stacked to capture objects in the sky.
This doesn't happen on the camera of course, but a photographer wouldn't want it to happen anyways.

I think you entirely missed the point of a digital large format camera. The user does not want the camera doing post processing. The user wants the camera to capture technically excellent images and process them manually.

The difference between a phone and a large format camera in this case is that the photographer can choose to take such a photo and he can process it on a high performance machine with manual intervention. This is absolutely not a problem with the camera.
My brother went to Lambda school 2019-2020. Would not recommend. They had recent grads that had just completed Lambda the previous year teaching the new students and most of them had just a vague grasp on the content matter. So many inaccuracies and bad practices taught. The only good thing about it was that it was structured and you were coding each day for 5-8hrs so if you weren't the most self-motivated person, you were held accountable. But again, a lot of it was taught badly or inaccurately, so unless you spent a lot of time doing outside research on your own, you weren't learning much. If you do have self-motivation, you don't need Lambda or BloomTech. After graduation, there was no follow up of any kind. So overall, pretty disappointing.
Is this really just Hebbian learning? That's often stated as "cells that fire together wire together", and I can see how that can line up with FF increasing the 'goodness' of actual data. But decreasing the 'goodness' of negative data seems like a qualitatively different mechanism.

In my experience calling, text messaging, and WhatsApp has basically always had capacity issues on New Year's Eve, as literally everyone is trying to contact their family members the moment the clock hits twelve. Failed connections/messages are basically expected, and many people even intentionally call earlier or later to avoid this.
Yes, though I would note that the flashlight industry got way brighter in the last 20 years. The good old trusty plastic incandescent flashlight with D cell batteries is what most households had sitting around for years prior and a modern smartphone actually compares favorably to those in brightness (though not focused)

Modern flashlights are insane, they can even be dangerous haha.

I think they mean a JIT compiler for a clojure-like language written in rust, with rust interop (instead of Java interop). There would be no static compilation of rust code.
You can surely see they are helping a lot of people, in addition to what you believe on the negative side of things. Not trying to be snippy or offer a trick question, but genuinely, what do you get out of this? Surely it's not worth your time.

Mind citing any? I'm not going to try to do the work to substantiate someone else's claim, and besides, if I don't find anything that agrees with it your response would just be that I did not look hard enough. If you can't cite something, that is fine, just say this is your opinion, that is entirely okay, but claiming something as fact puts the burden of proof on you to substantiate it.

I'm not an American either, and my grandfather is demented now but I think I know him well enough to know that he is would not have done something like that, and I know of at least one case that could be said to show the opposite, where he voted against his own group interest to benefit another group.

Sure, not a problem. Most programmers do, probably.

However, I've seen students use Stack Overflow and other resources as a source of "program stamps":

- They enter their problem in an Internet search engine.

- Click on the first result with code in it.

- "Stamp it" on their own code: I.e., copy/paste it.

- Using editor/compiler, find any issues by trial and error and fix them so the editor/compiler doesn't complain anymore.

They might try a simple example or two to see if it works. And that's it.

There's not much reflection on their final solution, or on the bits they copy/paste. They don't seem to understand their solution, nor care about that or their problem solving process. They put in effort, they expect a passing grade.
I usually make the case that 60% of the US federal budget is entitlement programs with the largest portion being Medicare and Social Security.

Medicare is what I usually focus on on because a person will take out $3 for every dollar they put in.

The real welfare queens are grandpa and grandma, yet in the 80s under Reagan many of those same people were blaming the poor.

If you want to see who has power, look at what programs people are willing to touch. Medicaid is constantly under attack by Republicans. While Medicare is a sacred cow to both Dems and Republicans.

Right, the human+machine system is providing the scalable and convenient service, but the "human" part is usually some minimum-wage or gig worker. This kind of automation is helping the haves, but not so much the have-nots.

I guess countries are becoming more of what they already were: the US gets more unequal and exploitative. Other, more socialist countries are getting more so. China is getting totalitarian using automated facial recognition and censorship.
