Which is the best reason that upper-middle class people are screaming about Twitter layoffs. The worst reason is just because they repeat what they've read to each other as a proxy for conversation.
Based on the staff they actually need.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the same when reading those lines.
I hadn't thought about that but you're right that would be amazing.
*launched and landed
(500mi / 6.5mpg) * $5.313 = $408.69

6.5mpg - I just Googled average MPG for a fully loaded Semi, could be wrong.

$5.313 - Most recent highway diesel price (https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/). I'd expect this is high due to fleet discounts and such.
Rail is a near monopoly * (or at least a cartel), so it doesn’t have the same market forces to make that thesis work. There are enormous barriers to entry that prevent much competition, so employees have little market from which to choose. Meaning it shifts the power away from the employee in favor of the employer.

* this is one of the reasons Warren Buffet invested in rail a decade or so ago.
> “But they did good things too,” Ye said.

That is the same exact boilerplate response we get over here by extreme right wingers (assuming non extreme right wingers do exist, which over here is not the case) when talking about the atrocities committed by the Mussolini regime: "he did good things too". Yeah sure, like conscience is something that can be recharged like a cellphone battery: "Ok, I've helped 99 old ladies to cross the road, so now I'm entitled to beat and robber the next one!".
Those people are full of shit, period.

The way Snap updates packages caused some problems with Firefox on recent versions of Ubuntu - I wrote a blog about it: https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2022/03/21/how-to-fix-firef... Perhaps this update mechanism was part of the solution to some of those problems...

Oof, heavy stack usage is ungood. But that's probably correctable.

FWIW, I'm thinking of devices that don't have an MMU - like the Sega 32X. It's a hobby of mine. Having any GC time at all is too much suffering, even 1ms.
I wonder if this will lead to increased or decreased quality of life for truck drivers. The UK and EU are still aligned on truck driving rules for the time being. In the UK, trucks are limited to 60mph on the motorways which means there's a theoretical max limit of 540 miles a day on a standard day or 600 miles on an extended day. It's also mandated that you have to take at least 45 minutes rest every 4h 30 minutes which I imagine should be sufficient time to charge the vehicle to get the extra 40 - 100 mile range so I don't think EU drivers would really be impacted at all. It may have more of an effect in other countries which have higher speed limits however.

I believe the laws in America are much looser so the effects there may be far greater. I believe US truck drivers can drive for up to 12 hours, so if these were widespread you would imagine US truck drivers may be getting more and longer breaks than if they were driving ICE.

Summary of EU Driver Laws for anyone interested: https://www.gov.uk/drivers-hours/eu-rules
1) i386 is not representative of bleeding edge CPU architectures (as mentioned in the article). It would only be icluded for purely academic reasons - which was out of scope.

2) ...

3) In the real world most programs use a single optimization/tuning config for the entire program.

The article aimed to analyze real world programs running on contemporary modern architectures.
Very generous! Fwiw I bet you could make significant money (5 figures) if you made a longer version and charged in the $20-50 realm. It's hard to find quality up-to-date resources on these topics and the info is extremely valuable--the interest on HN attests to this. Also totally cool if that's not interesting to you or not your thing :)
Asking $60 doesn't interest them. $90 does.
> Do Debian devs check each and every one of them?

Well, if Jupyter Notebook is in main, then the libraries it depends on also have to be in main. That means they have Debian maintainers, and have to go through Debian release management. So yes: in theory, the entire stack is checked.

Not by Debian "devs" - I think those are the guys that work on Debian native software, like the installer and dpkg. The checking is done by Debian maintainers and the release managers. And the users, of course; I'm ever grateful to the users who install Sid, and report back to the maintainers.

I am already writing every tip as a blog post. But those blog posts take a full day to write as they are much more detailled compared to the short summary in the ebook. My time is limited like yours, and the short ebook is the best way to spread the knowledge: You get the information now, and I'll notify you when those full articles are written.
Sounds good. Except that if I can't watch something or at least listen to something in bed. I will delay bedtime as long as possible. But if I can watch some tv series or something I usually fall asleep in 5-10min.
None of which is the problem the author is characterizing. FTA:

For example, last December, all Faculty of Arts and Sciences affiliates received an email from Dean Claudine Gay announcing the final report of the FAS Task Force on Visual Culture and Signage, a task force itself created by recommendation of the Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging. This task force was composed of 24 members: six students, nine faculty members, and nine administrators. The task force produced a 26-page report divided into seven sections, based upon a survey, focus groups, and 15 separate meetings with over 500 people total. The report dedicated seven pages to its recommendations, which ranged from “Clarify institutional authority over FAS visual culture and signage” to “Create a dynamic program of public art in the FAS.” In response to these recommendations, Dean Gay announced the creation of a new administrative post, the “FAS campus curator,” and a new committee, the “FAS Standing Committee on Visual Culture and Signage.”

It's about the creation of administrative positions such as the "Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging"

Semi-trucks use diesel. Diesel is between $5-$6/gallon:

https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/

Let's use $5/gallon.

According to random website https://motorask.com/semi-trucks-mileage/

> On average, semi-trucks get around 6.5 miles a gallon

But according to https://www.motorbiscuit.com/how-many-miles-per-gallon-do-se...

> Transporting freight from one location to another isn’t cheap. We all pay so much for shipping because semi-trucks are gas guzzlers. In the early ’70s, it was estimated that the average semi got about 5.6 MPG, but that amount has increased slightly. In 2014, new semi-trucks were required to get 7.2 MPG on average.

Heck, let's use 10 MPG.

500 miles ÷ 10 miles/gallon x $5/gallon = $250.

So even with liberal estimates in diesel's favor, unless my numbers are way off, electric comes out way ahead.
Actually, it still happens the same way in the USA as well -- for physical products. The hardware side of physical products is often well-supported, with higher budgets for R&D and engineering salaries, while the software side of the physical products is expected to be done barebones and as an afterthought at the end of the product development cycle.

Software engineers in the US who do not work on physical products are highly paid, because they can potentially create nearly infinite return on investment with near-zero marginal product costs.

But software for widgets doesn't have that infinite margin ratio. So firmware suffers greatly. Think auto infotainment systems, smart-home electronics, appliance interfaces, point-of-sale kiosks, etc.
To some extent this is just what it's like to come to a strange OS when you're already a power user of another. As a longtime Plasma user, Windows also makes me feel like many things I take for granted are broken or missing from the base system.

But ultimately I still agree with the OP. macOS comes across as especially inflexible about its incompleteness, and the prospect of loading my OS install up with a dozen proprietary, paid apps by different individual developers always grates on me. That resentment is deepened by the fact that I know these apps pretty much all work by exploiting undocumented, unsupported behavior or APIs in the operating system. Apple breaks or Sherlocks exactly the kind of apps that make their incomplete OS resemble a mature and user offering with new macOS releases, so why even invest in those hacks?

Well, he claims to have given about as much to both parties (just in different ways).

It kinda is.

>What is the etymology of the Swahili word for trapezoid?

>The Swahili word for trapezoid is "kisagano." It is derived from the Arabic root words qisas al-gana, which translate to "equal sides."

Instantly. I mean, on one hand, I'm sure I could have found this eventually, with multiple searches, maybe. It's a little unnerving that it had this instantly.

But maybe that isn't even right!? There is a Swahili word for trapazoid that is almost an english cognate (British or Afrikaans I suppose). Do they use "kisagano"? Is it of Arabic origin? I have no idea! I suppose I could use this as a starting point to check.

I'm not worried about some silly skynet AI take over. I'm more worried that we become reliant (like we are on search) to something that just loops back garbage. And using it as a tool that amplifies an existing echo chamber and media narrative.

Most of us know the issues with Wikipedia and how people will trust it blindly. I imagine this becoming a worse version. I had a "conversation" about a high profile death and court case - the version of the story "just happens" to be identical to a mainstream media narrative that was eventually proven to be misleading. A very strong liberal bias to the initial reporting, and not the facts that came out later. It's like they gave way way more weight to the initial reporting, which makes sense, because that is also what people do too.
Here's a personal anecdote which may have served as a warning to their collapse. I bought ~1000 mobile coins when they were a couple dollars, sold most of them at $60 and bought BTC, however it was at precisely that time FTX refused to let me withdraw them.

They claimed it was because my country was introducing new legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies and it was to prepare for the new rules. They however jumped the gun and just blocked my country the moment it was announced, which was a couple months before the new rules were actually set to go into effect.

I tried logging in from other countries with a VPN, but my account was already flagged, and their customer support said I had to show a valid passport or government issued ID from another country to prove I was not in the country where I was, which was obviously not possible. I was never able to withdraw my BTC.

I suspect this was the start and they were already short funds (which may already be a known fact now, I just haven't been following too closely), and they were just looking for excuses to take whatever they could from their users.

I don't see how you can compare two unrelated companies staffing levels. You are simply implying complexity has a direct correlation to the correct workforce amount.

Walmart has 2.3 million employees but it's just a store. Why do they need that many when SpaceX has N employees and is launching rockets
Yes, absolutely, and impacted significantly by COVID and working from home. Some of it is getting better, but at 53, my recall and ability to pick up the minutiae of IT stuff is not what it used to be.
The only scenario where I see this being an even remotely reasonably request is if you think someone is a severe risk for harming your systems should they be laid off. In every large company I've worked for (including ones involving high security systems) the standard was that you'd give people a week notice, maybe two weeks of an impending layoff along with a decent chunk of severance. This way those people being laid off could do a knowledge transfer and ensure that their domain experience wasn't lost and that you maintain a good business relationship with your employees.

To me, the way y'all present it is not the norm. It's working for a company that clearly does not trust its employees and treats them poorly. If you find yourself working for those kind of places frequently then please realize that it is not the norm and you should not try and normalize it.
I would suggest it’s completely intentional to pronounce “Fourth of July” differently to distinguish it from every other day.
Money, and privilege.
It's the human equivalent of the race to the bottom. A company with deep pockets (or VC funding) might sell a product at or below cost to try to muscle out competitors. The end result is either a monopoly (where the company can then raise prices up to whatever profitable levels they want) or long-term lower prices and weak margins.

In the same way, an individual worker might want to work longer hours in order to be more attractive as a candidate for raises or promotions. But often management sees a small number of employees willing to do this, and then starts to expect all employees to do it. In the absence of unions or other collective action, the other employees are forced to keep up. They've raced their labor price to the bottom.

I agree with the "civic hygiene" angle: it's much healthier for people not to do this, and provide better working conditions for themselves and others. But that requires everyone to do the right thing all the time. There will always be enough people who want to get ahead, and are willing to make themselves miserable to do it. I don't think most are being malicious: they don't realize the societal effects of their actions. But those effects happen regardless.

The difficulty of collective action is really the heart of this. If every employee just up and decided one day that the standard would be a 32-hour work week, and people would only work Monday through Thursday, it would... actually happen. Companies would complain, threaten to fire people, fire some people after all. But if everyone could actually stick together for the greater good, it would work. But people can't do that, not 100%. Some can't for legitimate reasons ("I can't risk getting fired or I won't be able to pay rent / buy food / stay in the country"), and some won't for selfish reasons ("If I break ranks and lick the company's boots, I'll be rewarded").
Yeah, I had lots of fun ideas, but had a time crunch, HAProxy basically just worked to get started, and took well to optimizing, and pretty soon I had more capacity that would ever be needed, and never had a chance to rebuild it with exotic technology ;)
Each university has a base rate that is tacked on to each grant (F&A) and Harvard has one of the highest overhead rates allowed. This means, relative to other research institutions, every research dollar spent at Harvard has more money "taxed" away for administration. What is the opposite for economies of scale?
This is the shallowest of clickbait. “Why doesn’t a Mac work like a PC?!” stopped being interesting to argue about around 2003.
Exactly.

Hackers are naturally anti-authoritarian. Anyone who can give you orders can stop you from solving whatever problem you're being fascinated by -- and, given the way authoritarian minds work, will generally find some appallingly stupid reason to do so. So the authoritarian attitude has to be fought wherever you find it, lest it smother you and other hackers.

Authoritarians thrive on censorship and secrecy. And they distrust voluntary cooperation and information-sharing -- they only like `cooperation' that they control. So to behave like a hacker, you have to develop an instinctive hostility to censorship, secrecy, and the use of force or deception to compel responsible adults.

There's really no magic to it - there's an extra pedal you depress when changing gear, and you bring up to re-engage the engine.

Bluntly, most tech people are either some kind of ADHD or Aspergers, or both. Well-Adjusted Adults (/s) don't generally want to spend all day speaking in extremely logical terms and fighting esoteric error messages from their computer. IMO a lot of scrum practices and tech company culture is centered around making work more tractable for people with these kinds of neurodivergances.

In relation to what GP was talking about, if you have spent most of your life with either of these conditions it is likely that part of your normal every-day functioning involves employing some set of defense mechanisms and learned reactions. Part of that in the past may have been developing an affinity for computers. It can be hard to navigate a world in which most people seem to understand more about interpersonal interaction than you do, and/or where most people are cool with ambiguities that don't make sense to you. These strategies take up a lot of CPU power in your brain, and can (among a whole host of other things) make your memory more foggy because you are busy spending all your time in a kind of low-level survival mode.

As an aside, poor autobiographical memory is a really common side effect of ADHD, a condition which can be philosophically framed as having a difficult time connecting to the past or future as well as other people can.

I am staying in a National Forest as I speak. I had to pay the $8 fee to reserve my spot for two nights. Yeah, it does not matter how long you are staying so staying one night DOUBLES my costs.

It used to be you would show up and just drop a check in the box and there was no fee involved. I hate what the internet did/ Because what also happens is that people reserve thee spots online and do not show up and do not cancel making the parks more crowded than they really are.
This is probably why they got fired:

> One day I created a tool that made it faster to download things from your work email that you might need if you were looking for a job: performance evaluations and that sort of thing. I posted the tool on Slack so that my colleagues could also benefit from it if they needed to. One hour and four minutes later I was fired.

I credit them for wanting to help their peers and it sounds like their intentions were good and I'm not supporting this decision by upper management but it sure seems like an unwise thing to do during an organizational change like this. Especially if you like working 70 hour weeks and helping out peers just for the sake of making someone's life easier.
You forget he was also the 2nd largest donor to the Democratic Party last year, and allegedly gave plenty to Republicans as "dark money" (though he only said that after the Democratic donations came out, so it could be a lie to save face).

If you won your election with SBF funds, it undermines the will to prosecute, or to view him as the conman he is instead of a stupid young guy.

For that reason, don't be surprised when Democratic Party leaders send out apologetic messages like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33836009
Before everyone seemed to migrate to txt messages and iMessage style apps like WhatsApp the only chat app that had a pounce feature for someone offline was ICQ. The paradise of messaging mail was incorporated with chats and thus a common saved history retrieved from a server was normalized.

Sounds like you are thinking of language models in isolation, working in closed-book mode. That is just the default, it doesn't need to be how they are used in practice.

Do you know language models can use external toys, such as a calculator. They just need to write <calc>23+34=</calc> and they get the result "57" automatically added. The same, they can run <search>keyword</search> and get up to date snippets of information. They could write <work>def is_prime(x): ... print(is_prime(57))</work> and get the exact answer.

I think the correlation pattern in language is enough to do real work, especially when fortified with external resources. Intelligence is most likely a property of language, culture and tools, not of humans and neural networks.
