The issue is that the average person doesn't consume photos and videos on their large 4k monitors. That's an enthusiast niche at best. That alone a market sustaining a large multinational co does not make.

Sensibly, workflows optimize for the smartphone consumption use case.

And yes, that hurts as photographers who obsessed over sharpness and pixel-level fidelity since the invention of digital cameras, but that just doesn't seem to be where the zeitgeist is at anymore. People never really cared in the first place.

It's similar to how music producers obsess over whether a particular synth sound was made with analog gear or was a "cheap digital knockoff". The listener never cared in the first place. They just want to be moved wherever it is that they are, which happens to be on the phone 99% of the time in photography.
Running the water continuously is not recommended but for people who were not taught water-saving practices, it is likely the default way one might go about hand-washing dishes.
They are not emulated, they run at optimal latency (in fact on Ice Lake FADD has better latency than ADDSD!), although at a lower throughput as there are less dedicated execution units.
Also, some venues box office is operated by ticket master and you still get hit with the fee. I had that happen to me years a go. I haven't tried buying tickets in person in a long long time, but I'd imagine this is still a thing where you can buy them in person.
Ask HN: Do you feel bad when devices aren't utilized to the extreme?
e.g., I feel bad when people buy M1 (or M2) MacBook Pros just to check emails, browse the internet, and do presentations (very common among managers).

Or when an old iPhone or Android is sitting in a cabinet getting dust, while it can be used as a webcam, small home server, automation device, clock (I use an old iPad), etc.

I think so much compute power is being wasted and I'm not sure how to feel about that.
It is because of the culture of the Japanese people. In the World Cup and other stadiums they pick up all their trash when they leave and leave it pristine. They don’t have to worry about fines in the stadium.

> I guess the future of speed traps is "section control", e.g. install cameras at beginning and end of a speed-restricted stretch, and if the time you needed is significantly below the expected one with legal speed, you get a ticket.

Following this whole brouhaha I read that Garth Brooks plays night after night in a city until the shows stop selling out. So there is a way to let all the Swifties buy a ticket.

I don't know how he keeps a venue booked for an indeterminate number of shows. How far ahead does his team plan? But for the road crews and performers it must be easier. They don't have to set up and tear down their gear every 3 days.

On the other hand, Taylor has more fans and more cities she has to visit than Garth. If she did that, it might turn into a perma-tour until her popularity crests.
I feel like it's somewhat poetic and a powerful indicator of something I can't quite put my finger on that this thing we call the internet is now old enough that some of us are doing old-man-shakes-angry-fist-at-cloud at newer parts of it. The more things change the more we stay the same.
That's the reason - each generation has it easier than the previous and doesn't need to work as hard. So the older generation sees the younger generation not working as hard as they did and complain.

> Of my cousins, probably 60% are willfully unemployed and refuse to work for anyone. They make money through odd jobs, day trading, selling online products. Anything to not have to work.

They don't have to work conventionally, with a micro-managing boss from hell, with a rigid 9-to-5 ass in seat mentality, no way of ever getting that wage raise carrot their upper management holds in front of them for years, dystopian corporate bullshit (anything from spyware on the computer to waiting days for a simple IT ticket to be resolved) and most importantly: large parts of the profit they generate never ever ending up in their own pockets.

Instead, they work on their own risk, have a way better ratio of "amount of money per profit generated" and have a way better quality of life.
However, you have probably seen a few Andreessen Horowitz blog shitposts (sorry, this is the appropriate term given the bullshit density) about crypto scroll by on HN.

Future.com was more PR than news.

It reminds me of Paul Graham's old essay on PR firms, which unintentionally(?) contained the best advertisement for the NYT I've ever read.

> At the other extreme are publications like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Their reporters do go out and find their own stories, at least some of the time. They'll listen to PR firms, but briefly and skeptically. We managed to get press hits in almost every publication we wanted, but we never managed to crack the print edition of the Times.

I'm not sure what the point of your satire is.

It would be more accurate if some citizens were doing additional road repair and cleaning outside of the government, and other citizens were digging potholes in their free time.
> Only 10% of Israelis did not support Cast Lead, in a poll by Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper). So, sadly, it appears the massacres have the support of the vast majority of the settler population in spite of general knowledge of civilian (including child) casualties before the poll. Some might consider this sadistic too.
Community colleges deliver a reasonably good quality of education at a very modest price point. They do accept basically anyone who shows up and unfortunately a lot of people are just not that motivated or are not adequately prepared for college level work. That said, if you show up and do the work you can easily get an associates degree and spin that into a career or transfer into a 4 year university. In California I believe that community college transfers generally have a higher graduation rate from 4 year schools than their their freshman admit peers. I have known many people who went to community college who are doing fine. I'm sure Zuckerberg would have been just fine with a community college curriculum (he might not be a billionaire but he could easily achieve a pleasant middle class lifestyle).
Go for a walk/run every evening. Eat a few hours before hitting bed. Do pranayam few minutes before bed. Massage your head with coconut oil or hibiscus oil.

> most people prefer to perform work which aligns with their morality and gains them the respect of others; it's part of that whole "hierarchy of needs".

Your values can only be worth that much, and a big check will make you forget them faster than you think. After all, that's what corruption actually exists: people willing to compromise on whatever they believe or used to believe for financial benefits.

Also don't forget that people will rationalize everything. There's no one going to work every day and hating it - if you stay in a place you don't really like, ultimately you will find reasons to stay and to justify your choice.
Wtf. This is not how layoffs work. “ Employees were called into an All Hands meeting this morning in which BloomTech CEO Austen Allred notified staff of the impending layoffs. After the meeting, those impacted were notified via e-mail. According to documents seen by TechCrunch, employees will get normal pay and medical benefits until January 31, 2023 and are “expected to work” through that period. Those laid off were also offered optional time with managers to talk.”

If you lay me off you give me severance and I say adieu. I need that time to find other work. What kind of dystopian BS is this?
This is a big issue. In my city some of the neighborhoods were originally steel "company towns". They literally have one entrance/exit into them and it is crossed by a primary railroad track. The trains have gotten so long, that now when they park (almost a mile a way) for hours, they completely block access for people entering or exiting their neighborhood!

And CSX and Norfolk Southern's response is just: "too bad"
Exactly. Almost gives credence to the idea of a well-behaved decentralized peer-to-peer network.
It really isn't. My understanding is spending a dollar on certain things actually increases the total amount of money available to society later on, which is how investment works. Giving poor people 1$ is equivalent to giving society 1.7$ because poor people have immediate expenses to spend that money on, like debt.
(Canon user here) This response is very misleading. They're all bad. Other camera manufacturers are not substantially better than Sony in this regard. If Sony is a 1 and smart phones are a 10, the other camera manufacturers fall somewhere between 1 and 3. GPs comment is still spot.

> we are in the midst of a new mass extinction event.

mischaracterises the reference they link:

> Biologists now suggest that a sixth mass extinction may be under way, given the known species losses over the past few centuries and millennia.

'in the midst' != 'may be under way'

My point is not to nitpick, but to say, unlike climate change, we still have a fair bit of time on this one. If you read the relevant literature more closely, it says something like (from memory) "if current rates keep up for 500 years, it will be one of the largest mass extinctions ever".

This is a deeply important issue. If our species ends up responsible for a death-of-dinosaurs scale mass extinction its.. hard to overestimate how bad that would look, from any sort of, I dunno, galactic-UN sort of application-process-review sort of perspective.

But implying we are 'in the midst' aka 'approximately halfway through' might rob people of hope.

We are at the start of a mass extinction event which, like many other terrible potentialities ahead of us, we can very much avert.
The benefits apply to more than just Covid and if maintained for the rest of a persons life. It’s a higher up front linear cost with an exponentially higher payout.
I believe that a part of the problem with software engineering is the "we can always fix this later" mindset.

Even during development, the only cost of iterating over errors until you get it right is just time.

But HW engineers just don't have the luxury of making 100 iterations of a product until it works, nor the safety net of "we'll update it over the internet". They must put a lot of effort into testing and verification until they say "ok, this is good, let's ship it."

Also, failure modes of mechanical products are often known and intuitive.

I am guessing that before the advent of Internet, the average quality of shipped software was higher on average. Nobody would dare ship a hot mess like Battlefield 2042 if they knew it's the last version they ship.
The ticket should be assigned to a specific name, so that it can not be sold on a secondary market.

The Ticketing service itself should provide a channel to sell a ticket at its original price if someone wants it.

In Italy that's the method since a similar fiasco happened years ago and it works pretty well
Accepting highly volatile assets as collateral seems obviously very risky for a lender/exchange.

I wonder if SBF has a good knowledge of banking history. No doubt, there are examples in the past of banks making similar mistakes.
I would try carrying that though to its logical conclusion. Healthy people who don't want to work (aka don't have value, as work == value) shouldn't be given money. Money is needed to survive. Therefore it is okay if the person does not survive? Or rephrased as, if you don't work, you should not live?

I hope that's not really how you feel, but it seems like the clear logical conclusion to that kind of thinking.
> I was asking someone who made a specific claim, they were not quoting from the paper. I'm asking him about the claim they made.

In showing that a specific question you asked is beside the point of the paper, there is nothing wrong in quoting the paper to demonstrate what that point is.

Furthermore, I quoted the specific question you posed (for reference: 'Was their intent at the time of "voting against their interests" to injure their own group?') Syzarian's comment (and, more relevantly, the claim you specifically picked out in your latest reply) neither implies nor is predicated on either a yes or no answer to the question I quoted - and there is no reason it should, especially if, as I suspect (but cannot prove), Syzarian is well aware that this is beside the point of the paper.

> In the context of an article titled "Individuals prefer to harm their own group rather than help an opposing group.

This is an entire paragraph, yet it does not even appear to be a complete sentence, but you do seem to be agreeing that the context created by the paper is relevant.

> If the person did present an example of something claimed by the article, the article cannot be used to substantiate it...

The question of yours that I responded to is not about, and does not raise an issue concerning, the veracity of the claim you have specifically identified.

>>> Do we have any insights into their state of mind when taking these actions?

>> Often we do [because people generally are not all that shy in telling one another - and the media - what they think.]

> Do we have any for the specific instance in question?

This is the most blatant example so far of something that pervades all your posts here: attempting to shift the burden of proof by raising questions where there is no real doubt, knowing that any attempt to respond could be stretched out indefinitely through the use of similar questions [Update: as you have demonstrated in your further replies to Syzarian and others.] If you have a point to make here, the burden's on you to make it, bud.

>> It is also highly improbable that a group which fought hard for union representation, or made considerable use of a public pool, suddenly decided these things were against their own interests right at the time these benefits were being extended to other people.

I have been developing in embedded systems for 38 years, and I have the shortest skill set you will ever see on a resume. I only put down the things I know.

On the other hand, I have reviewed resumes from people with five years of experience that are 'experts' at twenty five unrelated technologies. As soon as I see that, I think, 'yeah..... no'. I worked with some genius level folk at Bell Labs back in the mid 1990s, ten years into my career, and they were each really good at two or three things. I took note of that. Yes, they could figure other stuff out, they could move on to new technology, updating the three things that they were good at, but that list always seemed to be short.

You have to laugh at 'experienced' or 'expert at' followed by JS, JAVA, Full Stack, Python, Linux, BSD, C#, AWS, C, C++, MySQL, PostGRES, Lisp, Lua, Azure, MathCAD, DSP, AI, Excel, SystemC, Perl, regex, Bash, git, assembly, Verilog, ...
I'm a bit confused by what you're saying. It sounds like you're implying there's 3 different objects here but then you talk about only 2 in your opinion. Accuracy/authenticity of the digital content, authenticity of the distribution of that content, and the interpretation of that content (using external context).

I'd think the first is a mathematical/cryptographically solvable problem, assuming you trust (human decision) whatever hardware/software generates the content. The 2nd is solvable in a decentralized way when the first is solved. and the latter is probably always a human/societal decision.

But why does the need for social trust impact technological solutions to the first two? Especially when deep fakes become more and more relevant in society.
This is super interesting, but why are people posting this kind of thing to tweet streams? Twitter is just absolute shit for trying to document this kind of research, IMO.
This is the default point of view where and when I grew up. Based on the parable 'If you give a man a fish he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish you do him a good turn.'. The independence and freedom offered by the ability to meet one's own needs rather than be at the whims of others you depend on is seen as a much greater good.
Yeah I think there was massive fraud. It will be found out, but the legal system moves slowly. My hope is that all the key people involved will be available for extradition from whatever far-flung place they are likely to flee to soon.
This seems almost like a misunderstanding of what is the role of an installer, especially for something like oh my zsh. The author is complaining that it takes over their zsh configuration, when in fact that is obviously the whole point of the installer.

An installer isn't simply there to copy a program to your system. It's there to copy files to your system and then modify your system so that it is ready to use the new program to the deepest level that makes sense. You're not supposed to need to do any other configuration of your system for this program after the installer finishes in order to properly use it. This includes things like associating file types with this program, changing system settings to make it default in various places (hopefully with some kind of flag, to be fair), discovering and associating hardware or any other step like that.

Note that piping curl to bash or running bash on the output of curl/wget is a minor point quickly glossed over in the article, which is actually complaining much more about using custom installation scripts that do "too much".

I never understood why almost no modern compact camera has built-in geotagging capability.

In my opinion it's a very useful feature, but what I usually find in modern cameras is only the possibility to connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone, where I need to install an app to provide the coordinates to the camera for geotagging.

Then I see cheap low-end smartphones that have built-in support for GPS+Galileo+GLONASS+Beidou and I wonder how much would it cost to insert such electronics into a camera.

A monopoly? My event last night was ticketed with EventBrite. There seem to be a dozen or so similar systems out there. And if I were willing to roll my own software, I could probably spin up some version of Drupal pretty quickly with some open source plugins.

The problem isn't that it's a monopoly. It's that the venues don't shop around, probably because they don't pay the price. The consumer does.

One of my best new hires is a bootcamp grad with 0 real world experience. But he's a huge outlier, very self motivated, hardworking.

Personality type tends to trump experience. Unless of course you need a specialist to hit the ground running out of the gate.

In general, I have not hired many bootcamp grads over the years. They tend to present as very non-technical in most cases
I would turn it the other way around.

So many underpowered devices are produced that sit in drawers, collect dust, and end up in the landfill. For instance Intel makes "atom" devices that if they don't die early because of design flaws, they die early because they aren't really useful. There was a time when Intel was interested in having you buy a new computer because it was the best computer you ever had, now they are interested in putting every vendor of parts out of business (except seemingly Synaptics) so they can get more of the BOM, even if this means the new computer you buy will be the worst computer you ever bought.

If there was some minimum standard of quality for devices, people wouldn't need to buy so many.
For example - sometimes people get confused about what is meant by a "faucet," and so using "faucet" as a variable name could lead to confusion.
