Not to mention that such a restriction would put a limit on the number of laws. Eventually they would be forced to choose either to affirm old laws or pass new ones. There would not be enough time for them to do both.
Expensive and hard to upgrade are both separate from being ahead of your time design-wise. (Apple had healthy margins on Macintosh from the start, and the 128k no-slots aspects were both argued against by people on the team. I guess there's a sense of "ahead of its time" that fits, where Jobs consistently aimed for more "upscale consumer" type products but wasn't yet able to make that work for a big market.)
I have heard lots of stories about how the
only real way to get promotion/real raise
was to change company you work for.

That's definitely the best way. Here's my take. I am ignoring promotions/raises given to junior/intern type employees who become regular engineers.

80% of engineering promotions/raises come from switching companies

10% of engineering promotions/raises come from doing greenfield work. If you can find a way to do greenfield work you will look great (because you can move fast) and multiple other people will be dependent on the mess you left behind and they will look bad because they are moving at a fraction of your speed.

10% of engineering promotions/raises come from engineers who show obvious managerial talent and are interested in a managerial role

0% of engineering promotions/raises come from maintaining somebody else's system
Incredible! Isn't this going to completely destroy trust in the shared Internet experience when scammers start using this technology to create fake profiles galore? Entire fake conversations with potential "friends" and "dates". You're going to lose trust in everyone other than people you added on Facebook / Twitter / HN before 2022. You will never know, even after a long conversation, whether the person was real or not!

The entirety of the web experience relies on the assumption that when you see a bunch of sentences, they were written by a person. This is so ubiquitous, so tacit, so universal a foundation of the experience of the shared Internet that a 90%-good-enough Turning-test-passing automated conversationalist is like a drop of poison that renders the whole lake of water unusable. We're in the early stages of this infinite-spam world.

I feel like the article lays it out pretty well?

It’s a government who’s been in power too long, whose talent base was massively thinned by a Brexit Purity witch hunt and the impossibility of delivering the Brexit fairy-tale, and who weren’t simply ejected at the last election because of Corbyn’s overwhelming unpopularity.
Yes, the situation works. The fact that the first two logicians say “I don’t know” means they do want beer but they are unsure if everyone wants beer. The last logician knows this and can say “yes” at the end. If either of the first two logicians did not want beer they would also know that by definition it would mean “everyone wants beer” would be false and so they would have just said “no”.
Interesting perspective. One ominous anecdote is I've noticed that kids seem to have lost interest in the Oculus / VR. I'm assuming the business model needs to be bootstrapped with games and then move into other areas. I hope it is successful however, the world will be kind of boring if all we ever have is screens.
Are you comfortable with the claim that some human writing has more insight than some other? Then you should also feel comfortable judging ChatGPT as ‘not demonstrating insight’, even if you can’t define exactly what it is.
I wonder if the frequent dropping of features (the primary reason Ive seen people give for their gnome hatred) is part of why it currently looks so amazing.

Less features means less to maintain (which is important for an open source, free product).

Until AlphaCode can maintain a codebase as large as gnome, we should probably keeping the workload of open source devs as small as possible.

Maybe. But human's pattern match capabilities regarding jokes seem to still be on another level compared to the attempts this LLM makes.

> > I suspect part of the appeal is having power over another living being

I don't know why people always repeat this ad nauseaum. It's simply untrue. It's all about the convenience.

Men know what they want, specifically they want to maximize the time spent naked in bed with a woman who they consider attractive. Period. All the other activities are a drag and something they do in order to get to the promised land.

No straight man has ever gone to a club, nightclub, disco for the sheer pleasure of going there, men go thre essentially because women congregate in these establishments for one reason or another. Those places are some sort of socio-sexual casinos where men go to find somebody to spend the night with.

A percentage of the male population is deciding for whatever reason that they want to skip the hassle of the socio-sexual casino, the hassle getting there, the hassle of having to park, the hassle of having to dress for whatever theme the night is about, the to have ears assaulted by loud music, the hassle to approach women, the hassle to spend a fortune in drinks and defend themselves from cockblockers...

In short they want to embrace the convenience and skip directly to the good part, the part they really want to maximize: spending the night naked in bed with a woman they consider attractive.

And visiting an escort doesn't have to be all about sex, matter of fact many sex workers on various podcasts have confirmed that the time spent having sex per booking is decreasing, while there has been a rise in time spent just talking, kissing and cuddling, and also the avg. time booked per session has been rising, mostly because men have more money to spend on escorts if they avoid spending money on stuff they hate doing such as going to clubs, shopping, eating out etc.

It's easy to speculate that once men completely embrace the convenience of escorts the rate of marriage and pair bonding will drop like a rock. Men will work to get money during the day , and at night they will have a roster of escort they'd visit who are a good fit as far as looks and personality. Similarly the escorts will have a roster of clients who they deem respectful and who are not stingy.

And so finally all the window dressing and BS activities such as going to clubs or resturants or furniture shopping can be finally put to rest once and for all.

I for one welcome the age of compensated Netflix and chill.
At <FAANG mega-corp>, I used to work on an internal team which basically did nothing important, certainly nothing users ever think about.

The problem that we were trying to solve, well, we had already solved it about 3 years ago, yet the team was still expanding, and our product managers kept spitting out new (mostly useless) project ideas.

One of the main areas of focus was metrics. Leadership was obsessed with metrics, we measured everything. Not just plain empirical metrics (like # clicks), but also very complex metrics, theoretical models that we had data scientists work on, etc. At some point maybe 25% of the team worked on metrics related stuff, it was crazy.

Why were they doing this? Was it only to keep us busy, so that the team can continue to grow? Or maybe they were desperately trying to find metrics by which they could prove the team was actually still doing meaningful work? I don't know.

At some point I left, and moved on to a much smaller team. This team was working on a brand new product, one that customers actually pay money for!

One of the first things I said to my new product manager was "so, what metrics do you care about? how do you measure success?".

He was taken aback by my question. He seemed genuinely perplexed. He paused for a few seconds, then said "metrics? What do you mean by 'metrics'? I look at revenue, when the line goes up I'm happy".

I thought it was... insightful.
I guess because some of us, old timers that still believed in the year of Linux Desktop back in the GNOME 2.0 days, got fed up with all the incompatible rewrites, JS for extensions, removal of preferences into extensions, asking devs to write XML based UI layouts by hand,....

At least Microsoft, Apple and Google have the market share, and economic incentives to justify putting up with rewrites.
Something something a private company.

And also who cares? It’s a dying platform anyway right?

Ah yes, the dual conflicting narratives of the legacy media.

Twitter is simultaneously dying yet more powerful than ever.

Musk is both a baffoon who got lucky (4 times) and also an evil rich mastermind genius.

He is going to run the company into the ground while also taking over the world.

These narratives are so tiring and obviously full of it that you have to wonder how NPCs download this stuff on a daily basis without overheating.
basically yes

pedantically no:

antisymmetric connections give us an acyclic graph (DAG), whose reachability is a partial order.

if we say there are always minimum and maximum elements (adding some[0] if needed), antisymmetric connections give us a graph where we can always find a least common superior and greatest common inferior. In the special case when a = lcs(a,b), we say that a is superior to b, and always find that also gci(a,b) = b, b is inferior to a.

symmetric connections give us an undirected graph, whose reachability is an equivalence relation.

(asymmetric is just not symmetric, which is a distinct notion)

[0] eg under feudalism, we might say that all nobles are inferior to the divine, but any noble is superior to all commoners, so [divine,commoners] are our added maximum and minimum.

Exercise: under what conditions is an acylic graph a tree; ie the DAG of antisymmetric connections is a hierarchy?
Wow, after living in Germany for 5 years.. I think I agree with you completely. That last sentence is the best description of the problem I have read.

Not sure if https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees has been updated properly:

>Gumroad's fees

>Fees on Gumroad are simple: When you make a sale, we charge a 10% fee. That’s it. This does not include credit card processing or PayPal fees. There are no monthly payments or other hidden charges, and as your earnings grow, we also reward you with decreased fees.

1) there's no detail how increased earning will result in reduced fees (but that's the existing tier structure, so probably not properly edited)

2) "does not include credit card processing or PayPal fees" - does this mean it is 10% + extra payment processing fees?
Yes, which matches exactly what Twitter did, and which is how most people understand the term. Or did you miss the part where they delisted some accounts from being discoverable by search.

The way Twitter defines shadowban is more narrow than that.
Well, it gets the simple laugh, but misses the deep joke.
You're making the assumption that GPT doesn't automatically build a phonological theory of the english language from rhymes and lyrics and linguistic texts that are fed into it.

Sure there's some design things that aren't right, but I don't feel that it matters a lot, a certain other OS is popular while having a zillion design things that aren't right.
Reminds me of “Coupling” - a brilliant British TV sitcom. It is incredibly funny.

The US version had the same text, with minor changes to account for e.g. the different way to call back to the last incoming call on a landline. The US version had reasonably good actors.

But … somehow, it was just not funny.

What's with the strawman? I never once alluded to this. My assertion is that you're full of shit because your mother is not on mastodon.

The account you did post, has an average of less than 1 response per post, which just goes to prove my point that nobody uses mastodon.

"To shift the paradigm, one must offer a more fulfilling alternative. A rewarding experience would highlight the disadvantages inherent to the current paradigm."

Yep, that's what I'm talking about. What's the "more fulfilling alternative" in a social network that won't let you talk to people?
This makes me want to see what it has to say about American Pie.
It's a deeper problem than simply being in power for too long. They have been in power that long because the alternative offer was worse as you mention.

No, I made a general point about government and private interests having different failure modes, this person responded by calling my point devoid of evidence and that private interests form monopolies and cartels and that healthcare somehow disproves my general argument, and I showed an existence proof that their single example is not generalizable and not reflective of the common case.

I struggle more with verbal communication, but I struggle with text too.

For structure a hack I've found is to write things out as verbosely as I can, then cut words and sentence that add little to no value.

When I do that I tend to end up with something that doesn't sound rambley while still fully conveying what I'm trying to say.

In terms of style though I have no tips. I find my writing tends to be very dry, but I'm uninteresting and monotone when I speak (autism), so maybe that's just a reflection of my personality.
Discrimination is discrimination, "critical business move" or not.

I appreciate your explanation.
RPis are used as embedded controllers and such instead of a custom solution, which is why they are so hard to get right now -- many companies based their products on them when they were plentiful and now get priority over end-users for distribution. It is (or was) kind of a scandal as RPi's self-mandate was to provide cheap computing devices for learning, not for businesses to make products.
The human race managed to survive pretty well for millennia without any sort of healthcare system. So how essential is it? Most of the major modern gains in life expectancy have been due to public sanitation and childhood vaccination. Everything else we get from healthcare is marginal.

Healthcare is certainly important, and we ought to provide affordable access to at least basic healthcare to everyone. But it's not essential in the same way as water, food, housing, and energy.
NXP's software support for the heterogenous ARM cores is abysmal. I had to abandon an architecture on the iMX7 because their RPMSG drivers were simply broken. Documentation and examples were multiple-years old and their FAE support came down to "well, the examples work." Except they didn't.

Perhaps it's better with the newer BSPs on the 8, but I wouldn't be too quick to jump back into it.

> I can easily afford to buy one or two cars every time I go to the grocery store with my son, which makes the shopping experience much more fun for both of us. If the cars were 10x the price, then I couldn’t do that.

This brought back memories for me. As a very young father still starting out in a professional career this was one of the few bright spots of my life back then. Being able to see my son's excitement to go to the store with me every Saturday to choose his new wheels really was a small part in keeping me going.

Very happy to see this "tradition" continuing 20 years later.
Because of the limitations of its token system, ChatGPT does not understand how things sound. So it's going to struggle with puns... Eventually we'll need a LLM trained on written and spoken language, so it can understand and reproduce rhyming and puns as well as tone of voice.

Ask HN: How do AI models protect against SEO/Sales optimized internet content?
If models are trained on internet content (Ex: ChatGPT), then surely there is some bias in their output, as the internet is infested with content who's sole purpose is to make you buy something, influence you in some way or straight up plug a product.

It’s interesting you say incredible when I’m coming away with the opposite. It is not only overly polite, but constantly wrong yet so confident in its answers. And even when you iterate it still doesn’t get there, yet each time saying “oh you’re right” as if it finally got it.
Is it possibly because he lacks the academic rigour? I don't think casually reading math (or any) texts as a $50M+ net worth individual is remotely the same as having to study and pass tests like a regular person.
No, it's great. No one should trust the "shared Internet experience". Instead of blindly believing what some random entity spews out, this makes it clear that the underpinning of a community is trust and a reader should explicitly take the source into account when evaluating information.
