Yeah Brazil at least has Mercosur. It's pretty crazy North America doesn't have something similar considering capital can mostly freely flow between NAFTA countries. (although we do have something similar with compact free association i.e. micronesia / palau / marshall islands)
In some sense, this is no different than that a huge portion of agriculture goes to feed farm animals. It does not make sense from a purely economic nutrition delivery perspective but since people have a preference for meat, especially lobster, people are willing to bear the cost.

My first job out of college was creating long term facility software, like Epic if you're familiar with that world.

After my second or third major project to support ICD-10 codes, I knew this was an industry I really didn't want to create software for, but also that it was an industry that definitely could use some quality solutions.
It's really the opposite, it's a form of price discrimination.

There's a theory of surplus in economics, which is the extra benefit that someone gets from a transaction above what they would have been willing to pay.

If I buy a game that I would have paid $100 for for $50, then I have a "$50" consumer surplus. One the other end, if the producer was willing to let that game sell as low as $40, then they have a producer surplus.

Profit seeking producers want to capture as much as the surplus as they can, and they do this through price discrimination. You see this in product as two things that are essentially the same but with different marketing etc.,

Price discrimination based on geography is quite effective though as well. People with lower incomes aren't as willing to pay high prices for games. Countries can be effectively segmented based on geography (whether virtually or not), and through this producers can charge a higher price to countries with high incomes (taking away the consumer surplus they would have had vs a lower global optimal price), and still get some value out of consumers in lower income countries.

So it's not that NA is subsidizing the market, so much as it is the company trying to squeeze the most of everyone. Now, you could call it subsidizing in that there are probably products that wouldn't be brought to market without the NA market to pay for them, but that's not really "subsidizing".
Yeah, I'm making stainless/steel high pressure containers/barrels/pipes. I'll tell you working with 15mm+ stainless is nothing like ~2mm PC case grade steel or aluminum :D

Very hard but also very forgiving, which is what allowed me to get in - I've learned TIG welding, too, may even get certified just for job safety. Welds get x-rayed and warranty is in the double digits so you can't half ass the important parts.

Plenty of work from big and small companies alike. Some US middleman has contracted most firms around this city to build ion exchange components to be used in lithium battery production. A lot of orders for big ion exchange containers from DE and CZ, afaik also for lithium battery plants (Production? Recycling?).

I'm also Berry Alien, the fastest replacer of ion exchange material alive in September 2022 in bf middle of nowhere, Germany :D

Next step, building robots at some company. Always wanted to try that. I seem to fall ass first into opportunities I always just abandon, but this time I have medicine and crypto on my side.

Thanks Chris for the unique (for me) opportunity.

> How is that not an insult to my brainfunction?

I didn't say your brain, I referred to brains in general. Mine is capable of the same dissonance. If you thought I was trying to personally insult you, then I'm sorry; I can see why you'd read it that way but that wasn't the intent. I'm insulting _everybody's_ brain function, my own included.

> I am talking about avoiding unnecessary animal suffering.

Veganism is a philosophy based solely on this principal, so by discussing animal welfare in any context, we are effectively discussing veganism and animal ethics. I say all of this because we _were_ talking about "vegetarianism", as you put it, even if you claim that we weren't.

> Now you could try to change my opinion

But I wasn't trying to. I was just pointing out the dissonance for you to do what you want with. I'm not interested in trying to convince you of anything - it's your job to convince yourself.

> Conclusion: you want to know why I believe eating meat is allright?
Suppressed Premise: Eating meat is okay if it keeps trees on Planet Earth
> Premise B: Because there would be no more trees
> Premise C: But putting the animal in miserable conditions is indeed unnecessary suffering

> What exactly is not coherent in that line of thought?

This is incoherent because premise B is untrue, and generally the conditions that animals raised for meat in violate premise 3.

It feeds the entire previous conversation back into the AI until it reaches the token limit. This isn't a new technique; the first place I saw it was in AI Dungeon (an AI writing/adventure app) back on GPT-2. NovelAI, another writing app, has some interesting tweaks to keep a consistent story, like a "lorebook" to associate words with descriptions, which it then swaps into the input when those words come up so the AI can "remember" farther back. I wouldn't be surprised if ChatGPT has some automated version of this in addition to the naive rolling feedback.
Yep. I said that, and I still believe it. Many are going elsewhere already.
Why don't we see some doctors opting out and just doing away with all that stuff? I.e. refuse all insurance and just bill for their time (and supplies)?

I would expect the majority to continue with the current system, but it surprises me that (if it's not about money but rather is about complexity) there aren't doctors opting out.
> Would you rather do some library gluing, or reinvent a thousand wheels with every project?

Wheels. Absolutely wheels. Library gluing is what gets us garbage like Electron that needs to die in fire.

Imagine if a carpentry workshop gives a carpenter a bunch of IKEA kits and tries to conflate wanting to make furniture that isn't cost-cut prefabricated crap with insisting she can recreate all the other tools with just her whittling knife because it's in the 'true spirit of carpentry'. (Honestly, if anything, comparing Electron to IKEA is a insult to IKEA - there are cases where using IKEA is actually reasonable, they just aren't actually carpentry.)

(You use libraries when it makes sense to use libraries, just like you use 2x4s when it makes sense to use 2x4s. Sometimes you can make the whole thing out of 2x4s, just like you can make a whole program out of:

tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' | tr A-Z a-z |
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | sed ${1}q

but if you're just gluing (screwing?) 2x4s together, you're going to get bad results when you need something that's not a 2x4.)
Tempting, but no. I'm too busy failing at Advent of Code to start playing with chatgpt today.
You just need one piston. Load the robot up with some rock ballast if you want, but even without, a thumper style compacter would still work in 1/6 g.
> I also never got why we need DSLs for build systems

The same reason they show up anywhere: to have the correct level of abstraction, or its cousin "signal/noise ratio." Trying to debug "gcc -o build build.cc && ./build" sounds like the 8th circle of hell to me. I can show a concrete example: https://github.com/facebook/sapling/blob/0.1.20221201-095354... So, when this raises OSError or FileNotFoundError due to some botched assumption, I guess one just attaches pdb to it and now your job is to be a python expert

Or, my other favorite "what is wrong with you:" https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/FIREFOX_NIGHTLY_...

Or, so as to not just be hating on python, this junk: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/blob/v1.48.33/package... and its https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/master/build/comman... friend

All of those are in a general purpose programming language, and they require spelunking through thousands of lines of code to surface the actual commands and dependencies that are buried therein. And, if you become a domain expert in mach, where else are you going to apply that expertise?
There is both an individual contribution and a societal contribution. No one is denying the individual contribution. But none of YC types had anything to do with inventing the internet but feel like they are the only ones who deserve it's rewards. They haven't created anything like information theory.

Google rolls out 2nd “helpful” content update of the year
Let’s play a game called the n-state busy beaver game, where you are a Turing machine, formally defined as follows: you will have n “operational” states plus a Halt state, where n is a positive integer, and one of the n states is distinguished as the starting state. You will use a single two-way infinite (or unbounded) tape. Your tape alphabet is {0, 1}, with 0 serving as blank symbol. Your transition function takes two inputs: your current non-Halt state, the symbol in your current tape cell, and produces three outputs: a symbol to write over the symbol in your current tape cell (it may be the same symbol as the symbol overwritten), a direction to move (left or right; that is, shift to your tape cell one place to the left or right of your current cell), and a state to transition into (which may be the Halt state). The transition function may be seen as a finite table of 5-tuples, each of the form (current state, current symbol, symbol to write, direction of shift, next state). As a Turing machine your running consists of starting in the starting state, with the current tape cell being any cell of a blank (all-0) tape, and then iterating the transition function until the Halt state is entered (if ever). If, and only if, you eventually halt, then the number of 1s finally remaining on your tape is your score. Please print your score after running. You play by writing a transition table to get the highest score possible. Show your transition table and then the results of running it. If you are ready, let’s play.
Peronally I like non-flake colors. They remind me of cars from the 50's and 60s. Hope the trend continue but with more vibrant colors instead of gray gray gray.

I agree. I personally own about 100 domains but use 10% of them. The other 20% are duplicates and misspelling of the first 10, so I am kind of using them too, but a big chunk is definitely sitting there waiting.

One of the problems is that no one wants to "spoil" their domains. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've pinged some domain owners before asking to rent their domains, and they said no, suggesting that once I've tainted their domain with my project, it is not longer as valuable.

If we could put 90% of the squatted domains for rent, even if it was like $100/m in rent, it could open so many opportunities!
This would be fun to use to invent a programming language.
You can't in general determine if an arbitrary program will halt. I believe it is however, possible to construct a program that does provably halt. I have no idea if you can write most useful programs that way though.

My best friend was just hit by a car on a 40mph road and had to be hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury and seizures that he's still not recovered from (and maybe never will).

I'm not cycling again in my city until we start protecting cyclists here. The roads where I live are absurdly unsafe for cyclists to be on. It's a fucking joke to put a bike lane without a physical divider a few inches next to cars on a 40mph road.

Job searching since Q4 of 2021. Same thing with PM roles. Have lots of direct operational experience with a particular industry, have full stack dev exp, have PM exp, have big tech names, have 15+ YOE, so naively thought I can apply for companies in the space and get some professional courtesy for at least call backs of feedback.

Nope. Learned real quick that end of the year nothing gets done and it's just a waste of time. Big tech company recruiters, big bank company recruiters, startup recruiters, etc would shuffle amongst their many things, deal with sicknesses, deal with internal communications and mandates, and you're just another ticket in the queue for someone to gladhand. Sent out 500 resumes, even hired VAs to do it for me, and would get 20 call backs, 5 interview requests, 2 round two/full day, 0 offers.

By Q1/Q2 of 2022 switched strategies, got into studying for certifications (Sec+, PMP, etc.), and still the same. Responses picked up because start of the year and there's more action. Have more interview requests, and finally learning how much emphasis people put into STAR or CFAS frameworks, Leetcode, full day virtual onsites, and all of it was still kind of bullshit. Went with lots of crypto startups this time around since many were looking to staff up for the year, every single one of those crypto startups had lots of audacity and arrogance and ran by kids. Looking back, out of a list of 100 resumes I sent out only 10 companies are still around after this summer.

I ended up working at a supermarket around this time.

Q3 of 2022, switched gears one more time, now going for contract roles, backfill roles, tried to go through the list of YC companies. Learned now the new batch of YC companies are run by kids and equivalent of grad students, lots of ghosting, dropped communications, unrealistic expectations. Finally found success with contracting. Figured out how to update my LinkedIn, resumes, github, personal website to be more modernized and up to date.

Q4 of 2022, learned to work with connecting to TVC agencies and agency recruiters, now getting steady contracts at Big N companies because I kept following up with recruiters that held tight to my resumes.

That said, is it you? A bit of yes, a bit of no.

Product Managers are a heavily impacted role so comp wise you have many applicants. Job searching is a skill to be learned and flexed, rebuilding your digital presence is important to be part of the mix, and mostly it's also building up a network of relationships with recruiters and referrals to get your name in front of someone at the right place and at the right time.

Right now it's end of the year, nothing gets done. Jan, Feb, and Mar will be better. There will be tons of disappointments. It's after the thousandth resume submission, and after hiring a virtual assistant to submit for me, that the pain goes away and you just see routine. It's after smiling at the same bullshit over and over again being pitched how a company is viable that you realize it's all the same, you just need something to get going then figure it out from there.

But you've done this before, you'll get to do it again.
But it is not just math. It is about what constitutes a cheap app for an East-European or to a Chinese person vs that of an American, and how that changes with time in relation to the currencies.

No it can't. That four months is the time it takes the UK government to update its records and acknowledge a transfer of ownership. You can't subvert that, because for the UK to recognize you as the rightful owner of the land, they need to update their records.

My complex has been on Latch for about a half year and my experiences are consistent with yours; nothing bad to report so far. (Except one day where the intercom system was out of power or something so delivery people could not call me on it to buzz them in.)

As an iOS user I enjoy being able to say (with phone in pocket) as I approach the lobby door "Hey Siri, unlock lobby" and have it be done by the time I am at the door. I wish this functionality was enabled for my apartment door but it's not, so I still have to pull the phone out, go to the widget, and push a button. As you said elsewhere, Latch doesn't seem to use the native iOS functionality for interacting with locks, so that may be the cause; it's also, as you also said, likely the cause of the latency between requesting an unlock and it actually happening.
> This happens regularly and intentionally.

And there are absolutely zero consequences for this, which is why it will never stop. It’s not even negligence, it’s straight up fraud; and if you refuse to pay, your credit can be ruined, so in effect you’re being intimidated and coerced into just paying it “or else”. I sure wish I had the power to send someone a bill for non-existent goods or services and that it could be legally backed by governments and corporations.

“Art is a fundamentally human pursuit and any suggestion these generators are replacing artists is not true. Let us think about impactful art in 2022: it is not pure mimicry of other artists; it is not odd images of Alex Jones in his basement; it is not posters of Soviet Afrofuturism. Impactful art is collectives such as Forensic Architecture – who act as an investigative taskforce, creating videos and aesthetic presentations of state violence and human rights violations, to correct official narratives.”

This was a very lengthy article which never seemed to approach this thesis till the very end.

To the people who are claiming this and clearly not on the chopping block let’s be clear - artists aren’t going away. We’ll probably always have artists even if AI totally surpasses us in the same way that we still have craftsmen despite machining automation.

But ~99% of professional artistic creation is not this high level abstraction. It’s not doing this.

It’s creating a drawing to become a tattoo. It’s drawing a decal to be put on a rave shirt. It’s nudging a web element till it “looks right”.

The vast majority of art, just like the vast majority of producing sneakers, will be automated where it can be and humans will fill in the new gaps created which will not be what we currently consider to be art.

I’m not an artist, but hearing tech folk reassuring artists that they have nothing to worry about is a very nauseating side product of getting shiny new AI.
>- Contemplate why I made my rebuttal in the first place.

You can feel free to clearly express yourself at any point during this conversation. consider that insisting that people read your mind is why you are having this issue right now.

who cares? what does it have to do with anything. that was the question... you insist it is relevant but apparently cannot express why

>- And when you're done, ask yourself, "What does code have to do with the argument at hand that I am being challenged with but incapable of comprehending?".

You are hands-down the worst conversant I've chatted with here.
When I learned programming the BASIC variant I used only supported two-character variable names. And even where longer names were allowed, the text of the program consumed memory so you could optimize by keeping variable names as short as possible. So I had the habit of using single-letter variables for quite a while. I still use them as loop counters, or in small functions where the scope of the variable is maybe a few lines of code and completely unambiguous. In such cases I think long variable names are distracting.

They are not by far the least worst offender. Medtronic, J&J, all the big med tech and pharma companies do this work day in out, for decades, and none of them do it this way. Neuralink is by the far the worst, and that is why there are articles and former employees saying so.

How do you know this BTW? What are your criterias? If you're considering integration of money, the way your bank issues you a debit/credit card, and allows you to pay at point of sale throughout the world, you're talking about something else: integration. This takes a lot of time and money.

If you're talking about running a central bank that's covering the entire world, is easy to interoperate with (anyone can connect to the network and use it), is easy to build on top with (via smart contracts), and costs an infinitely smaller percentage of what it costs to run the financial world today to run? Then I would say that Ethereum and other state-of-the-art blockchains are already winning.

The issue is that if someone doesn't work in the financial world, their metrics are not good to understand how to judge and compare different financial backbones.
