I never said it was the majority? It was just an example of grift. The only correct number of buildings a company should be leasing from the CEO is zero. In a similar vein, the company should not be leasing the We branding from the CEO.

WeWork was not operated in a way to succeed. I am only taking issue with the notion that the core business model (renting real estate) is flawed. Had there been a willingness for modest, organic expansion and not jet-fueled-VC-hypergrowth, the company could have succeeded.
After some of the newer anti-telemetry tools like O&O ShutUp and WDP, I find Windows 10 to have similar parity with Windows 7 in terms of snappiness and simplicity. Yes, it takes work that one shouldn't have to do, but at least all the usual Windows features (like moving the taskbar) are present, patches are frequent, and there are no longer any major breaking changes with updates. So for now at least I'm happy on 10, and not looking forward to 11...

why do you need desalination, you only need a small amount of fresh water for electrolysis. Any standard city water supply will power a very large electrolysis setup.

Also you seem to be massively underestimating the effect of corrosion, and needing to transport stafff and eqipment back and forth offshore
I don’t have ADHD but I get very distracted by Slack. Here’s what worked for me.

1. Slack app uninstalled on my phone. If I need it for something, I install it, use it, then delete again.

2. Slack app on my laptop fully closed by default.

3. Set times (about 5 a day) to check in and respond to notifications and scan channels. When I was a senior manager with lots of actually important messages these blocks were about half an hour each (for a total of about 2.5 hours a day). These days I can get away with less than 10 minutes.

4. Block these times in your calendar. At the start of the day, block out the rest of the time without meetings etc as Deep Work. People will understand you’re not easily contactable.

6. Tell your close team mates/manager that if they ever need you urgently they can contact via Signal/WhatsApp. If anyone needs you and really can’t wait a few hours then they’ll ask your manager and be able to get in touch. If you’re really worried about being uncontactable then put your phone number in your Slack bio.

Using that, I went from being totally addicted to Slack to being able to be a productive worker again. Of course your mileage may vary.
still wrong. hate speech isnt protected and that was the primary type of speech banned and it really irked the right that they couldnt spew vitriol with impunity. within moments of complaining about being "doxxed" (he wasnt), elon proceeded to actually try to crowdsource a doxxing.
Amazing, how can you not want a truck, imagine rolling up to your significant other's house and saving them from a power outage with your awesome truck. It's like being a light-bringer.
Elon Musk, Management Guru?
Whoa, it doesn’t even officially support MariaDB. Its only supported DB is Oracle MySQL. I know many people don’t share my opinion on this, but for me, that’s a dealbreaker.
Turn off notifications, check slack a few times a day.

Also figure out what your performance metrics are, responding to slack, or finishing tickets.
Hahaha totally fair
You made it far enough to have life stable enough to post on HN and have a 3 month kid, I'd assume you're not actually addicted to youtube in the clinical term.

Honestly if you're going well enough, your kid potentially mimicking you shouldn't be such an issue. There are some stuff to consider regarding language aquisition, fine motor skills etc. for really small kids, but them looking at youtube wont doom their life if you've covered the other bases.

If you feel it will become a real issue, the path of course would be to look at how you want your own life to be different, move in that direction and bring your kid along. I've had friends who quit their job and moved to another town to realign with how they wanted their life to be after they had their kid, so it can be an option.
In 2010-2011 I worked for (major American semiconductor firm), which had some test and validation teams on Sparc workstations running Solaris, and some design, test, and validation teams on Windows workstations with remote desktop clients for virtualized RedHat.

There was a common set of cshell based tools used between those two environments, among other 90s style Unix tools, like software written againt the SunOS Open Look widgets, and tools written in Tcl/Tk.

I wonder if those machines are still in use!

> The scales we're talking about cover hundreds of millions of people; it's nearly impossible for it to all be the same month, let alone the same day.

I fully agree. However given the number of triggering events, I'm yet to see and numbers that would indicate a strong trend in that direction.

> I can say one thing: I'm glad people are taking notice of the importance of decentralized social graphs again. It's nice to see, for once, an open source protocol growing organically and winning hearts and minds.

I disagree with your conclusion of likely continued growth - peopel are comfort driven and unless things directly affect them, they won't move or will move back.

However I fully agree with this point. I've been a big supporter of fediverse things for a long time and I hope the positive outcome here is more broad support for open source and decentralisation.

Keep a TO DO list of everything you want to do. Break it down into tiny small steps. And make this agreement with yourself:

Every day I will pick one boring tiny small step from the TO DO list and do it. And after that I can do whatever I want without feeling guilt.

Do one small step ea day and you will be blown away by how much you get done in a year.
Amazing attitude.

The mother of my kid and I are separated. I wanted to restrict content/screen time, but she gave him unrestricted access to his iPhone and now I feel it can't be undone. He's 13.

I'm mostly worried about his attention span, especially when I watch him use his phone. But then again, maybe this is just a different generation and I must understand that his way of using the internet is different from mine.

Would you share a story of falling/picking them up?
I miss the all the research that went into developing 95's UI. So much effort went into making computers usable and discoverable for the lay person. The user was the focus of the OS. Seems a little less so now, especially with some of the usability that went away with 11.
We as a people shouldn’t be killing sharks for their fins just as we shouldn’t be killing Elephant’s for their tusks or rhinos for their horns. It’s pointless and just because there’s a market for something … damnit makes me so mad
Same here with our son. 2,5 years old and we bring him to restaurants or friends with ease. We don’t entertain him with a phone or screen.

He also sits with us, eats with us. Sometimes we do bring a toy car, or pencils for him to draw. But that’s it.

Great side effect is that he eats everything. From olives to onions. He sees us eating and he mimics. That’s the whole parenting game imho.

I don’t believe you are lucky. You’ve simply set the standard for your child, by _not_ providing a screen for every situation.

Well done:-)
Just because some people may not grasp this: it is still individual humans consuming the water. Companies and industry don’t burn resources for no reason, they become products that consumers buy.

The only real solution is that we consumers consume less, and probably spend more for the same products, period.

Banning finning is unambiguously good, and sharks are indeed and important keystone species. However if the majority of shark deaths occur as by-catch or due to global warming there isn’t a lot of change in outcome.

This is like the whaling on Greenland, cruel and highly visible but also doesn’t impact you or me in any way. It’s easy to push these types of bans through, but it can also be a distraction of the actual harms that we are perpetuating.
Indeed. My haircut routine now includes my tragus, the tops of my ears, and giving my eyebrows a good trim. Oh the joy.

I must be missing the joke, but what about the domain name is odd? Name+relatively obscure TLD doesn't seem too weird.
I'd still rather google these questions. you get the same material (google+gpt3 scraping+processing the same internet), but a choice of how its presented - a video, a "ELI5" explanation, an animated illustration, the comprehensive treatment on a Wikipedia page, etc.

And you are learning from a person, in a community, etc. Potential of beginning to belong to something as you learn. And be pointed to other contexts, other perspectives, other bodies of related learning.

And less of a queasy feeling about accuracy, since you know the source a bit better. Hard to be a critical reader with gpt3, anything it says is suspect to a degree.

No reason gpt3 can't foster this kind of thing, by citing sources etc. But it does run the risk of biting the hand that feeds it. If the summaries are good enough, fewer people rewarding ppl building websites to provide sharing of knowledge ...
Not a button to do it for the thread en masse. I haven't experimented enough but suspect the key is rewarding positive contributions rather than focus on penalising the negative. e.g., have a threshold based on liveliness of a thread, and render visible anything above that. The rest is collapsed or worse.

I think then if you expand looking for drama, and half the time just find something mundane that didn't make the grade, you'll settle on just reading the abbreviated best-of content.

To be honest, not much online is critical reference material or vital how-to. I think most of us need to be helped in staying out of the gossip and button-pushing grime. Streamlined threads surely help. Do we really need to read every one of 1,000+ comments on Musk doing x or y? Any time I hit a hurdle on Reddit (e.g., trying to force me to login to read something contentious) I use it as a reminder that I'm probably wasting time and should do something else. It's a hurdle at the time but seconds later I'm appreciative!
I wouldn't put nuclear and renewables as opposed sides. The only reasonable future will be built for a minimum of 80%-90% of primary energy generated from renewbles, and it may be that 10%-20% of nuclear is cheaper than to do it all by renewables.

I don't understand why you say renewables will be too slow. I've only done napkin math, but simple projection of continued growth of existing production capacity through, say, 2035, completely replaces all current electrical generation, as well as other energy uses. And when you account for the much much higher efficient of electrification, meaning that we get 2-3x as much work out of the same amount of energy compared to all the waste with fossil fuels, we can fulfill the developing world's needs for growth too.

But this is just my napkin math from taking production trends from top Google hits, it's not a sophisticated analysis. I would be interested to see one that is realistic, meaning that it doesn't assume that solar deployments plateau tomorrow.
> Why do we have to pretend I'm not just there to do a job / make you richer in exchange for less money than I know you yourself are making? It's so patronizing.

Because some managers and employees want to work on career development that might benefit you in your current role, a future role at the company, or a future step in your career elsewhere.

If you don't care about your career, fine.

But it's not patronizing. It's literally doing our job by trying to help you advance. If you don't want that, just say so and your manager will stop wasting their time by asking.

If I was going to attempt this with a VM, maybe I would try to perform a checksum on every file first then recheck everything after an hour (from a powered down state) and look for changes. I would be concerned that any malware would simply be a downloader for something which is undetectable to AV.

Probably the wrong place to ask, but this seems like such a fun experiment to try but maybe more difficult than I initially thought.
The internet is fucking interesting and it is very hard to keep people of any age from it.

But some people need it more than the others.

In my opinion the lonelier and/or unhealthier and/or poorer and/or less purposeful and/or more physically / mentally trapped somebody is; the likelier for them to be addicted to the internet (or to other things that can give them a sense of an escape from their reality, or just hope.)

I think before thinking about anything else you should think about what better can you do for your child regarding those matters.
I do agree with your post, but I really have to bite my tongue to not get snarky.

Part of the process here has to be recognising that this outcome was the obvious base-case future right from the start. Indeed, from as early as the 1980s when the politicians started really cracking down on building new nuclear plants.

This is an entirely policy-driven problem. If I could see it, anyone who cared to look could - the free market would have been building nuclear plants in 2012 if the question was "how to make money and secure future prosperity?" instead of "how to build an impossibly safe plant, far safer than any standard we've ever applied before?".

People winning or not winning elections shouldn't be a factor in whether people freeze to death in winter or have to start burning wood fires because we're regressing to the early 1900s. People should be able to sort out their own energy needs in a free market.
It's entirely possible (although I personally think it unlikely).

Regardless, < 1% is not a lot of Twitter users by pretty much any stretch. I think people in tech or fringe communities are seeing a high uptake in their own groups and assuming that to be reflective of Twitter users at large.

Sorry, as someone who did research, can you explain to me why @crimethinc and @chadloder were banned?

This is a very cool result, although I don't think it implies that scale will create reasoning.

Current AIs are fuzzy mad-libs engines. They probabilistically fill in the blank, based on the statistics of all the example text they've seen in training.

In order to predict code successfully, most certainly there's longer-range multi-hop patterns between tokens. (A variable multiple lines away, a variable whose meaning/type/value changes after intermediate lines, ...) Regular english has far less of this.

So it's not terribly surprising to me that including code in training is more effective, relative to not training on it at all.

The question then is say we train on all text ever written in all languages. Including books, code, reddit comments, everything. Could the current architectures and training objectives produce a reasoning AGI? Or are we missing something?

Frankly I think no one really knows for sure yet. I suspect we're missing something and "fill in the blank" is not the key to the universe.
I worked for the DOD, and we used hardened RH servers, accessed through jump boxes/Putty, and Windows machines, and at least one Solaris box, though I never had a handle on what that was for.
I use Hugo, and I have a relatively ergonomic workflow set up where I use iA Writer to write posts on my iPad, then Working Copy to push them to a git repo. Then my server pulls that repo on a cron job, and builds and deploys it. It’s fine. It gets the job done.

But I confess that being able to post a new entry to an API and have it published instantly sure is attractive. If WordPress had a better security track record, I’d be tempted to switch to it. You don’t get much more secure than a bunch of static files served straight from disk, though.
I agree with your point, these geese live way better lives than their force fed brethren. I just couldn’t agree with the cruelty-“free” part.
This is pretty good advice. But if you are going to hide the slack desktop while you are working then you should let people know. Otherwise, people will expect a response real time and wonder why you are ignoring them. It's human nature.

We have a successful app where an early key was a satisfying button, so I get the interest in that. But if you're up against the current boom social app not requiring interaction beyond quick swipes/taps, you'll want to absolutely minimise friction in your own effort. And cover less content. No need for a modal with the slider and ugly buttons. Just have 5 face emoji circles hovering over the content. Think about how Reels look for Instagram - fullscreen content with floating interface.
Configuration Management Is Broken
I think John Carmack made a good point on this topic which I did not think of before.

He stated that albeit he spent years working with Lisps (CL and Racket mostly) or Haskell he stated that jumping on projects in those languages instantly requires you pay the price of having to learn the abstractions and DSLs that the users wrote for the project before being able to understand anything.

He compared it with C or Go, where he realized that it was easier to him to read kernel code without any context, because there is no abstraction price to pay. What you see is what there is to understand.

He basically says that those languages (MLs, Lisps) are great for personal projects or very small teams but they don't scale well, this also reflects on open source where many will build their libraries and programs, but very few get into collaborating in those communities.
That was indeed what I meant. Lightning vs old red-dye rust bucket farm truck never on the road (wink). The latter seems like it has to be wildly more economical over a full lifetime.

I guess if it's anecdote vs anecdote, then my cholesterol numbers were bad, as well as other indicators for prediabetes until I switched to a keto diet and dropped 60lbs. Now everything is perfectly normal in my labs and pretty much only watch hydrolyzed/trans fats in my diet, which has moved from keto to "lower carb" and not as strict as strict keto. Saturated fats are fine for me. So, congrats on your health and on mine.

There's a difference between having multiple implementations, even high quality ones, and caring about it. Python is all about the reference implementation, as much as I wish that people cared about pypy and the JS community has always been openly hostile to SpiderMonkey compatibility and only cares about V8 in my experience. And Java is all about different forks of the same jdk, even if several actually independent different ones used to exist.

I will admit to not being familiar enough with Ruby to say anything about that

IQ is not considered scientific because it is not an accurate measure of intelligence. IQ tests measure a person's ability to answer certain questions, but they do not measure a person's overall intelligence or potential. Additionally, IQ tests are often biased and can be influenced by a person's cultural background, educational level, and other factors.

If we're playing ethics, how do you feel about murdering introduced animals to lessen their devestating impacting om pre existing ecologies?

eg: Clean skin bull roundups in the Northern Territory and camel roundups in Central Australia?

These are large coordinated musters to funnel feral animals into yards, to tracks, and to slaughter.

There's a profit, sure, but the incentive for many is to stop them tearing up and destroying the land.

Do you have a source for prices this low for nuclear? The best I can possibly find is about 4x that cost, from 15-20 cents per kWh. I'm interested in who can do it cheaper than that.
