This is spot on. The evisceration of unions is the legacy of the Reagan/Thatcher years (ie the 1980s). Real wages have been stagnant for 40+ years [1]. Much of modern American culture can be summed up with this quote [2]:

> “John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

The Cold War and the hugely successful propaganda against communism spilled over to utterly decimate the labor movement in the US. You will however immediately lose most Americans as soon as you use the word "socialism". Let me summarize the usual rebuttals:

1. Socialism isn't communisum. The first is more about equality of opportunity. The second is more equality of outcome;

2. Socialism is not a poverty cult. Society is insanely wealthy. It's simply about sharing the wealth such that like 8 people don't own 50% of the economy;

3. Debt is built into your existence. Student debt, medical debt, housing debt, etc. This is by design to rob you of autonomy and keep you as compliant workers. Often this is referred to as "neofeudalism" or "neoserfdom".

5. There is no value without labor;

6. "The workers owning the means of production" simply means labor sharing in the value they create. And no, an Amazon warehouse worker getting paid minimum hour and being penalized for taking bathroom breaks is not "sharing";

7. Too many people have unrealistic views about their ability to negotiate and their overall ability, which is why you'll see so many comments like "I don't want to be kept down by low performers".

8. The financialization of housing turns people into NIMBYs who want to see their home values go up even though cost of housing is the leading factor in homelessness and has historically been used as a tool for segregation after explicit segregation was outlawed;

9. Creating monopolies such that companies can charge $1000/month and otherwise bankrupt you for needing lifesaving healthcare is state violence;

10. The police as an institution that exists today is a tool for protecting capital and those who own it; and

11. You are not Elon Musk. You will never be Elon Musk. Elon Musk doesn't know who you are. Elon Musk would melt you down for rocket fuel if it increased profits.

The quality of living a family in the suburbs has today is like what a rich person a hundred years ago would have.

I see people with houses, multiple brand new cars, TVs in every room, and who take a vacation at least once a year complain about the economy their entire life.

American labor unions are closer to cartels and the setup would be illegal in many European countries; in some states you aren't forced to join a union, but you still have to pay at least part of the dues that ostensibly covers contact negotiations. In other states, you must join the union as a condition of being hired.

Contrast that with countries where unions (like health care) are not tied to an employer. The whole dynamic is very different, and I think less adversarial between unions and employees.

In the US if you have a problem with your union, you are out of luck. Make waves, and the union will make your life hell. It's a second layer of rent seeking management.

Ever since the SEIU tried to take a cut of all government benefits to families who care for disabled people in MN, it was obvious that unions here exist to serve only themselves.
Set up alerts in Proxmox before it's too late
So I'm a pretty classical libertarian and overall don't love unions and really hate government intervention in pretty much anything especially the economy.

But here's the thing is that a society that stops caring for the poor, that exploits it's people, or in the words of the Bible that has "afalse swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right," is going to be headed for rough times and is morally bankrupt.

It feels to me like we are seeing more and more of that lately with things like passing laws to prevent the workers from striking, the massive wealth transfer that occurred during COVID, the way corporations are becoming land lords optimizing for profit. It just all seems to me like we are headed down a dark road where our only god is money and the only sin is not extracting the maximum profit.
>>Typically, there’s a frantic rush to get your device to market that you simply skip, or more likely don’t even have time to think about stuff like climate chamber cycling.

And that, right there, is the difference between a company oriented around myopic management vs a company oriented around robust quality.

Any company trying to build a quality reputation would spec this stuff out AT THE BEGINNING — what are the operational requirements, what loads will they see, in what environments will they run, etc??? Then spec every component, and test the whole lot against those requirements. Sure, this is more like the dreaded "waterfall" vs "agile", but the result is a quality product from the start that has far fewer of these problems (because they did this whole test & fix routine at the prototype or Alpha test stages), rather than showing up with stories like this of how they recovered from customer-reported problems.

If you're telling your customers that they're the Alpha testers because they get early access, fine. If you're selling it as a finished product, then we know your company isn't prioritizing actual quality.
Kind of funny about that last bit of advice, as that is the opposite of the advice for other creative endeavours. In https://savethecat.com/ the book talks about telling your story ideas to everyone so that your creative juices get excited.

I do think you're right about tech. Try it yourself, build it out, have some fun, be a dork. Then tell people.

I think the 5% was a metaphor for how the org is barely able to utilize its resources.

Also wouldn't React JS/TS be an instance where you are fully utilizing resources? Not from a raw machine performance standpoint, but from a developer efficiency standpoint. Using nested for loops instead of a series of JS array functions is way more efficient but it is not even close to worth it. Machines are so powerful these days also that sacrificing readability/maintainability for performance doesn't really make sense to me.
There is a hell of a lot of ag land, so you only need to site solar where conditions are ideal. E.g. in hill country, just on southern slopes. But any farm has marginal parts hard to harvest that could take dense paneling.

Much of the appeal of agrivoltaics is its continuous steady income supplementing harvest peaks, reducing debt load. England is just now panicking over farmers removing fields from farm production to pack in solar farms.

Many places will need legislative change to permit agrivoltaics, which can look to regulators like forbidden industrial conversion. England might need to undo panic-induced restrictions. Colorado recently adapted.

Solar will be added incrementally, e.g. first on existing fence lines and shed roofs, expanding opportunistically where it is most profitable to add. Farmers are used making to such choices.

I think Carmack is a great engineer. Part of that is being great at communication.

And he is! Usually. But this paragraph is quite hard to follow:

> If I am trying to sway others, I would say that an org that has only known inefficiency is ill prepared for the inevitable competition and/or belt tightening, but really, it is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production. I am offended by it.

I think what he means is that he is offended by inefficiency in itself. Not because of any secondary ills inefficiency causes but just because he is that way.

He must know that hist last post will be read by many. Even if it would not leak, and only circulate inside facebook many non-developers would read it. And even if you are a developer "seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production" might mean nothing to you. I assume it is bad from the way he phrases it. Maybe it should be higher? Probably. But honestly who cares about the GPU utilisation if the app does what it should in a performant way?

He could have just wrote. "... pain of seeing an application waste resources in production." And then nobody has to spend mental cycles trying to guess what does 5% GPU utilisation means for him.

(And it is absolutely a guesswork. I'm myself working in a team responsible for the performance of a performance critical application and I love to see 5% gpu utilisation. My job is not to fill up the GPU, but to do something useful for the business. If an app can do that with only 5% of the GPU all the better!)

And then in the next paragraph in an edit he tried to explain himself. Probably because people complained that they don't understand what he is saying. As if you can alleviate confusion by explaining more. Instead of you know, fixing the source of confusion.

I'm a bit sad that he didn't had anyone help him edit such an important announcement before he posted it.

I have not seen anyone postin any reason to not trust their end-to-end-encryption, so this shortens to a criticisms of point-to-point-encryption, which is (abd I'm feeling generous here) as about as useful as criticism of postcards.

Go read FTX's statement to Congress from a few months back on why crypto exchanges should not be hobbled by all those old rules about separation of functions.

There's nothing prohibiting a crypto exchange from having a separate company to hold customer's assets. In a bankruptcy, the custody company should still be solvent. That's required in Japan.[1] Customers of FTX Japan still have their assets.

I agree that it’s annoying. It is possible to work around without too much trouble by defining some other constant that evaluates to nil to distinguish.
Interesting to get some fusion nerd specs on the Trenta machine: 10 MJ stored energy, ~100us shot duration, merged plasma temperature ~ 1keV (pre-compression), 10 minute shot cycle, multiple MA coils in the compression region. If the illustration is correct, the compression coils are extremely thick. That's probably necessary to (1) withstand the magnetic pressure from the 10-20 T magnetic fields they claim to create (that would be about 400-1600 bar) (2) reduce resistive losses to enable the ~95% energy recovery they claim.
I used to worry a lot about my future relative to where I currently was. Then I noticed that the grass is always greener on the other side. If you are young and things just aren't working out in your current position - consider moving, whether it is a new position or even a new place, at the very least you will get a new perspective and experience.
It is trivial to serve different javascript to different clients on a request by request basis, making it very unlikely that highly targeted malicious js will be detected.

Most thick client update mechanisms make this more difficult (but certainly not impossible) thus greatly increasing the risks of embedded malware being detected.

Signal, for example, is reproducibly built, so you can diff the source of each new update and then verify that you get the same binary. This gives you very good assurance that your audit of those diffs is valid to the binary on your phone.
Farid Zakaria recently gave a talk¹ (at NixCon 2022) where I think he put it better: Nix (and Guix) blur the line between dynamic and static linking.

I think this is true, because with Nix and Guix, you actually have an end result with the positive characteristics of both kinds of linking.

His talk, based on his work on shrinkwrap² and nix-harden-needed², called for the creation of a new executable format for the Nix world. Seems apropos as a reminder that there are other possibilities!

(I think these kinds of solutions are definitely within reach for Valve from a technical perspective. Other tools are using them today.)

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3.

It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response.

It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer.

More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067
Exactly. Exchanges are important to exist. The problem is that some crypto exchanges became ordinary but unregulated banks and they sell "printed" crypto asset giving illusion the user owns crypto on blockchain.

As a dev in an XL org, I agree with the parent comment: if decision-making power isn't clear from the outset, people hold important-feeling weekly sync meetings for months and then wonder why they can't hit the deadline. Also everyone disagrees as to what the product that we were building in the first place even was because nobody was in charge of clearly delineating it.
The various "public domain licenses" don't help you to relinquish rights you can't legally relinquish. IANAL but, as I understand it, the issue in parts of continental Europe (e.g. Germany, I believe) is that there's a concept of "moral rights" related to things like attribution and preserving the integrity of a work that one can't disclaim to various degrees. The concept doesn't exist in common law countries. Legal concepts aside I'm pretty sure a court is going to pretty much go no take-backs although, as a company, I'm probably not going to use the lyrics for marketing/advertising/etc.

There's no standard form for placing something in the public domain in the US either but there is a legal concept of "copyright abandonment" which is what probably governs if you place a work in the public domain.

I don't see any evidence of this in the documentation. I can't think what API it would require beyond the widely adopted fetch API.

> Also, wasn't Zoom sued for bastardizing the concept of "end-to-end encryption" to mislead people?

I don't see any reason to think this is much different from any other end-to-end system. All the mobile end-to-end apps require you trust the code they run on your device. As described this requires you to trust the JavaScript they run on your browser.
True, but honestly I don't really miss it either. Yes, interfaces used to be whiz-bang, lickable-glossy, mega-3D, skeumorphism etc. But after the initial "wow" wears off, it's all just kind of... busy and distracting.

It took me a while to warm up to "flat design", but now I can't ever see myself (or the industry) going back. By allowing the interface to recede, you allow the content to shine. Generally you want to focus on the document, the photo, the text, the movie -- not the controls around it.

I'm not sure this is fair to Vegas. Sure the odds are against you but if you somehow win they'll cash your chips out.

I'm also not sure about the lack of investment opportunities. Returns in the public market and real estate have both been quite decent. In my adult life I've bought index funds and a small, crappy house and they're both worth more than what I bought them for.

I appreciate the desire to get involved with early stage companies but I'm not sure how many really want to put in the effort to bring in someone who doesn't have enough money to be an accredited investor. That accreditation bar isn't very high, anyone under it doesn't have much capital by definition.
Note that the federal minimum wage for tip workers in the us is $2.13. Some states improve on this, but if you don’t tip, don’t be surprised when your fave places lack staff.

Here in Ontario it’s $15.50, possibly less if booze is involved (not sure). So you have a choice here re expressing satisfaction, etc.

> The rise in middle class ...

The "middle class" is a myth and is a propaganda tool for creating dissent. There are really only two classes:

1. Capital-owners. Think Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc; and

2. Workers. This is anyone who trades their labor for an income. This covers everyone from the janitor to LeBron James.

The idea of the "middle class" is to create a division between them and the "lower class". The "middle class" often look down on the "lower class" and lump those who might rely on welfare, etc. The "lower class" will be blamed for many of society's ills.

The truth is there is no division. What you think of as the "middle class" and "lower class" are exactly the same and have way more in common than to the Musks, Bezos's and Buffett's of the world.

Billionaires have class solidarity. The dire situation of stagnant real wages and skyrocketing cost of living is largely a result of workers not having class solidarity.
Thanks for clarification. I don't care about the tradition, it is my personal distrust. There's no visibility into the organization, they struggle for money, if FSB comes after them or their relatives in Russia with a rubber hose I don't see why they don't cooperate.
