I think you misunderstand my point.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Enforcement is the fence.

Functional societies have reasonable fences, and rarely need to test them in the majority case, because they’re functional. There is no point in thinking about testing something you know works.

When someone starts wandering off, or a problem case is there, it also deals with them in a way that doesn’t undermine everything else. It keeps problems at bay.

Without that fence, or when the fence starts being moved so it’s NOT in the right place, problems cascade and grow, society starts fighting itself and others as trust is lost in institutions and other people, and eventually, either vigilantism, civil war or mass corruption is the result. Like you’re discussing.

It’s a constant, ongoing process.

This also makes it pretty rough being an edge case, which is the context of the thread we’re in.

A society beyond a certain, relatively small size without law enforcement (or similar boundary setting and enforcement) will, no matter how amazing, fall apart as the natural forces of corruption and selfishness tear at it unchecked. It doesn’t have to be a professional corps of folks, but it has to be a working mechanism though. Even small groups have this. Usually in the form of a chief, village head, etc.

Larger groups of course need something more formalized eventually, just due to scale.

Regardless, not towing the line is going to get you stomped on, unless you’re able to get under the radar, or are part of a large enough group that you can force the apparatus to leave you alone. Though that definitely contributes to the whole ‘mass corruption’ problem.
I'm of the mindset and have been for awhile that the FASTER we crash, as a society --- the faster we hit rock bottom with ai taking jobs, and opportunity loss skyrocketing, the faster we get to the inflection point. Call it futuristic acceleration-ism or something akin to that, but I also feel like as bad as Trump was we needed him and his ilk to show how corrupt the govt is and can go.

He was in many ways a 'good' thing for America, by exposing the worst of America. A litmus test, or a penetration test, or something of American democracy if you will?

In the same way AI hastening up automation and job take-over will usher in UBI and post-scarcity faster than just relying on politicians to organically get there over a few decades.
It really should be saving them to JSON instead of Pickle, but I gave up trying to figure out how to properly rehydrate the openai Completion objects.

If it was JSON then it wouldn't be crazy to add it to your repository. (I guess Pickle is stable enough in practice, but it would offend my personal sensibilities to check them in.)
Both kids were in car seats which held in place.

Isn't that a feature, since it allows while in use charging?
For the downvotes, less than 10% of transactions in the US in 2013 [1]. When I first saw this for Canada I looked it up and it really only accounts for something like 3% there.

Looking at the state of the car, I don't think it was freefall but more like a tumbling, which is definitely going to be more survivable than a head-on at 87mph.
Looks like a fairly steep slope down to a beach there.
If businesses close down, eventually the remaining ones become profitable enough that new people (genuine middle class with ambitions) flock in.
Teslas generally score among the safest vehicles. Lack of internal combustion engine in the front obviously helps a lot. Other than that I don't think they are doing anything completely differently than other cars. It's the small things that add up: fatter pillars, and small design choices like that overall seem to help.

In the near future when they begin to use gigacastings that could theoretically further increase their safety.
And if they are in the Japanese career system, likely more stability and less uncertainty. Owning even a self-sustaining small business isn't always that great style of living.

Interesting, getting close to a virtual power plant I think. Ideally you want to use the grid network for transmission to the bank of batteries.
This is the future. It’s great that the economic and infrastructure limitations of countries like these are spurring real innovation.
> So how do you deal with bad developers?

The same way we deal with good developers? With managers, of course. That's the whole point of their role. Every developer productivity metric I've seen speaks to some disparity between engineering and the C-suite. I don't understand where these products originate that seek to do the manager's job for them but worse. I've been in management roles before, the numbers don't and can't always tell you the full story, no matter the size of the team or the quality of the data.

As always, good people are hard to find.

>I used to work at Pex, where microservices were done beautifully.

Would love to read about this architecture. Is there a blog post you can link to?

>If your problem can be solved by load balancers or caching or DB indexes, you are not even close to needing microservices.

It's funny, do people not know about this stuff anymore? It's the low hanging fruit for scalability.
It sounds like you agree that it's racism, or whatever, when we demand that inspirational figures have a specific characteristic but feel lack of acceptance of people as people is initially subconscious and so is excusable even when being consciously acted on?

I'm thinking
I'd prefer to talk to my co-workers when necessary, and not any more than that. That could mean slack messages to discuss a certain issue, or even the occasional status update team-wide. Anything beyond that is a farce imo, and just shouldn't be shoe-horned into remote working or software dev culture if it's not there organically. I get no value out of it, and wish others would rely less on that for socializing.
In the former universe, you lose genetic continuity but may retain cultural continuity. Up to you whether that matters. To the Japanese, who adopt adults into the family to preserve the family business notion, one can speculate that they care about the cultural continuity more than the genetic continuity, but it's hard to tell.

Most online descriptions of Japanese people appear as caricatures, but from the few who I know who live in Japan, they are like any other human group: if some form of continuity or success is the only form accessible they will accept it.
I’m this case no one had the interest in it.

The family is very well off by Japanese standards but they all work.
Also, we can now pay higher prices for the same service. But it's 'better' now!
Oh come on now. That is absurd.
Calling dynamically typed languages "one typed" is basically trolling; there is no substance behind it.

Obviously, the expressions 1234, "foo" and '(hello world) do not have the same type.
> The government isn’t interfering with the factors of production.

> The Chinese system

Are you saying the Chinese government does not interfere with the factors of production in their country? I was under the impression China was a hybrid of a centrally-controlled economy, and if so that absolutely does mean they interfere! Please correct me if I am wrong, because I would love to learn how China does the free market better than the USA and how we can change the USA to be more like China in this aspect.
The movement was corrupted years ago. The goal of founders has been self-enrichment since.
> Automakers began to abandon the rear-engined layout in the 1970s, with only a handful of cars still available in the 1980s. This was due to the fact that rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive cars were prone to oversteer, which caused vehicle instability.

Your video didn't have subtitles. I get what it's about, but I don't want to sit through your video or spend lots of time trying to figure it out from documents without any other context. Watching videos is extremely time consuming compared to reading, and since I'm going to have to read the source documents anyway to fully understand your argument., I really don't want to process two different kinds of media.

It could be that you're making a really great point, but it could also be that you're a crank or a bullshit artist. If you want me to invest time caring about your issue, invest a little of your own in explaining it.
How do you feel about Volvo now being a Chinese company?
Git and/or feature flags exist for this reason. Adding a network layer isn't the fundamental insight here, but it can cause additional consequences.
> This is something folks have been doing long before the microservices hype.

Yes, and that's the point.

> server bottlenecks are not the only thing (micro)services are trying to address.

The only other real advantage is scale of network throughput and isolation from other processes (in case some service is particularly volatile or prone to errors). Even those are a stretch as they're both solved/solvable by modern infra and just isolating code into its own job server (technically a "microservice").
I live in Korea. In my experience pretty much everyone I know uses banking apps which you can do everything through, not online banking through a browser.

You would hope that these would be somewhat more secure as this may have required a 're-write' as the article suggested.

Though even with mobile apps you sometimes have to install some 3rd party 'anti-virus' software that probably amounts to spyware. But hey you can either lump it or leave it.

They do at least try to make you feel like it's secure. To set up mobile banking you need at least 3 different passwords and need to perform 2fa 3 times as well.

They have 'front end' security too, such as each time you enter a pass code the keyboard is in a different arrangement.
Of course it can. There are 24 possible states and you get enough information to uniquely identify one of 27 states. This was already stated in the root comment.

I'm confused how the response to "you must identify whether the odd ball is heavier or lighter" can be "the key to this is realizing you don't need to know whether the odd ball is heavier or lighter, which is good because that's impossible anyway".
I disagree, in my opinion micro-services hinder scalability of deployment, and development - at least the way I see most businesses use them. Typically they break out their code into disparate repositories, so now instead of one deployment you have to run 70 different ci/cds pipelines to get 70 microservices deployed, and repo A has no idea that repo B made breaking changes to their API. Or lib B pulled in lib D that now pollutes the class-path of lib A, who has a dependency on lib B. Often you need to mass deploy all of your microservices to resolve a critical vulnerability (think log4shell)

The solution to this is to use the right tool, a build system that supports monorepos like Bazel. Bazel solves this problem wonderfully. It only builds / tests / containerizes / deploys (rules_k8s, rules_docker) what needs to be rebuilt, retested, recontainerized, and redeployed. Builds are much faster, developers have God like visibility to all of an organizations' code, and can easily grep the entire code base and be assured their changes do not break other modules if Bazel test //... passes. It is language agnostic so you can implement your services in whatever language best suits it. It allows you to more easily manage transitive dependencies, manage versions globally across your org's codebase.

Of course Bazel has a steep learning curve so it will be years before it is adopted as widely as Maven, Gradle etc. But in the banks I've worked at it would've saved them tens of millions of dollars.

Also git would need to catch up to large codebases. I think Meta released a new source control tool recently that is similar to git but could handle large monorepos.
This is accurate; no one outside the family would have been able to use the client base.
> This isn't just "my preference" is what I'm getting at. I'm pretty sure it's just the human default.

Not OP, but if I were to guess, the "arrogant" part is the sentiment you express here combined a little bit of what comes off as "talking down" in how you argue to support it.

> You gave a bunch of good examples of people being bad communicators in your reply, so I feel like you agree with me on that?

Many of the examples of "bad communicators" were showing how written communication can work around some of those flaws.

Good communication is hard, and it involves not assuming that your preferred/standard methods are the best in every context. You have to be willing to adapt based on who you are communicating with and what you are discussing. If someone is barely literate, written won't work well except for pretty simple things. If hearing, (or quality connectivity, social anxiety etc.) are an issue then you'll struggle using just verbal.

It also isn't always just one or the other. One person I work with really struggles with expressing ideas clearly in the written form, yet also struggles with understanding complex ideas if he doesn't have a written reference. Neither one of those issues is very uncommon in my experience.

While I'll agree that verbal does serve a large role (probably largest in this specific context/scale), I don't agree with you apparent suggestion that it should be the default / universal method nor that other preferences / needs are invalid.
Keep it simple and fashion-proof. Been using setup.py for a one-script package for one or two? decades:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
name = 'foobar',
scripts = ['foo'], # install a script from current fldr
# ...
)

A few years ago I had to start using twine to register and upload it to pypi.
They’re not fully functional in the case of Sony.

Without internet there is no guide data for off-air TV even though it is not only part of the ATSC stream, Sony is decoding it. I know this because the pop up menu for the channel line has the name and time of the program being watched. That had to come off air if the internet is disabled.

Declining everything and setting up the TV as “basic” still has the underlying Google TV OS reaching out to the Play store, Android update, plus something in the Google IP block in China. Yes, China. And three net blocks from Microsoft.

Carefully selecting and permitting only the AWS Cloudfront net block will restore guide data, but it will cause the Google TV OS to howl loudly about no internet access. Allowing it to hit www.google.com shuts most of it up, but I will be poking at the OS to find out what needs to be shut off. Developer mode is available.

Sony is not using anything to report what the user is watching, network traffic is non-existent when viewing something on HDMI inputs.

This was not a cheap TV, Sony promised they would honor my requests not to be monetized, but my need for their guide data suggests otherwise (PSIP is not entirely broken, just slow). That doesn’t matter, Google is there to pick up the slack on the over the shoulder browsing.

It will be relegated to HDMI use only, just like the Samsung it replaced.
The problem is that the power thirsty law makers aren't much different than hackers since they also want access to everything.
It would be interesting to learn whether Autopilot was engaged. Looking at pictures of the scene, there is a short utility road that begins further back but which ends about 100 feet from where it splits from the main road.

Relatively straightforward for most human drivers to figure out it's not a through road (there are two sets of gates, though the first one might have been open), but very difficult for software to figure that out....especially one that has so many problems detecting stationary objects in front of the car, due to the lack of range-detecting sensors. However, it's also possible that the car (or human driver) noticed the dividing wall too late and made the wrong decision about how to avoid a collision.
I don't track people's claims about when they expect to be banned or for what. Such claims have no connection to moderation practice.

I do track whether accounts have been breaking the site guidelines. That's what moderation is concerned with.

I hope that's clearer!
That's interesting that that's a quality of immigrants. I feel like that's actually just everyone who doesn't own a business.
The benefit is a social one of being able to tell "stakeholders" that their shit's getting bumped to the next sprint if they keep trying to toss extra junk on the pile this sprint. The time cut-off is helpful for keeping jackasses up the org chart at bay, when it's done correctly and you're actually allowed to say things like that, and follow through. The chunked time makes it easier to justify a larger time-cost to monkeying with the short-term schedule, which makes stakeholders be more considerate.

That's in the unicorn-rare case that you're in an org that can do "agile" right, but still has the problem of clueless stakeholders shitting everywhere and no discipline or expectation that PMs are empowered to tell them (politely) to fuck off without the support of this kind of framework. Otherwise, yeah, they're not that useful. You can track velocity and such without them, so that's not a good reason to have them.
Who was the guy and what was the flawed and retracted paper mentioned in the below quote from Schneier's article?

Why can't Amsterdam (5000 people / km2) be as dense as San Francisco (7000/km2)?

Why can't San Francisco be as dense as New York City (11000/km2)?

Why can't New York City be as dense as Barcelona or Seoul (16000/km2)?

These are the most productive cities, with the most opportunities, and more people want to move there. Why should they be forced to live in less desirable places?
It sounds like you are just making life hard on yourself. You could take a few minutes out of your day to set it up and not have to worry about it.

Plus, it'll be the last time ever you hear anything annoying at all.
I did some crash testing in a previous life and it's absolutely crazy to see this play out in high speed (slow-mo) videography. The camera angle from directly below a vehicle pointed upwards in a frontal collision is biblical--RWD driveshafts turn into giant spears! Engine blocks into kinetic missiles, blazing a trail of mechanical destruction after they shear the mounts. Suspension parts zooming across the screen as springs unload their tension. Steel acting like wet cardboard. Nuts and bolts and other flotsam levitating chaotically like flocks of birds. Surreal stuff.
I tried GPT-3 and it generated code examples that just ~made up~ some library that didn't exist at all. It had code that in theory would have ran, if that library ever existed at all, but it didn't, and it consistently came up with code examples using this imaginary library. I thought that wasn't very impressive.

What I'm finding it's extremely great for is writing drivel. I'm talking ecommerce product descriptions, product names, copy... it's really awesome for making one of my side gigs less of a chore.
There's a maximum context of 10 items so it won't ever technically stop (though your GPT bill will keep going up). For something clearly ordered this might be enough, e.g., primes[100:110] will give a context of primes[90:100] which might give you the correct next primes. (Everything in this library is a "might".)

For something like the book example I expect once you get to item 12 it might repeat item 0 since that won't be included in the examples.
Those human scaling problems are also security scaling problems; the Unix process model (and, in fact, the von Neumann architecture) doesn't separate modules in security capabilities, nor is it practical to do so.

Microservices allow your permissions to be clear and precise. Your database passwords are only loaded into the process that uses them. You can reason about "If there's an RCE in this service, here's what it can do". Trying to tie that to monoliths is hard and ugly.
From article:

Perhaps they have plenty of skills, look at the rewards, and "Nope" right out.

Running a small business is ferociously hard, and you are almost always better off taking a nice, cushy, well-paying salary somewhere if you have the option--in spite of the general HN zeitgeist, advice, and bias towards startups.

It doesn't show they are a scam. It shows they are useless to most people because fiat does what most people need, just better.

Crypto has actual use cases, just those use cases usually revolve around not being able to trust your counter-party, access to easy laundering systems or access at all when access to fiat is denied.

This leaves you with the very healthy of set of potential users being those oppressed by nation states, criminals and adult industries and maybe some variations on these that I can't think of right now.

So not a scam, just mostly useless and when it's not useless probably attracts unwanted attention vs fiat physical cash.
I think ChatGPT is a Chinese Room (as per John Searle's famous description). The problem with this is that ChatGPT has no idea what it is saying and doesn't/can't understand when it is wrong or uncertain (or even when it is right or certain).

I believe that this is dangerous in many valuable applications, and will mean that the current generation of LLM's will be more limited in value that some people believe. I think this is quite similar to the problems that self driving cars have; we can make good ones for sure, but they are not good enough or predictable enough to be trusted and used without significant constraints.

My worry is that LLM's will get used inappropriately and will hurt lots of people, I wonder if there is a way to stop this?
Most countries who import a lot of labor tend to specialize on a narrow profile of immigrants (Turks in Germany, Latinos in the US, Central Asians in Russia), hence they are not getting cultural continuity. The imported labor clings together and forms a distinct culture.

In this regard it would make sense to eat it up and accept population decline. Japan of 50 million Japanese is still Japan. Japan of 40 million Japanese and 40 million Filipino is no longer Japan. May still be passable country, though.
Wow, this comment belongs in r/ABoringDystopia.
C# with blazor makes it really easy. You don't need to leave Visual Studio or deal with weird backend/frontend issues. It's all one application, and things are done on the frontend through C#, so it's all a single language. It's genuinely the best way to develop GUI/layout.

Otherwise, Flask with python and Typescript(It's a superset of javascript, that has types and a few other things, it's the future, and alot easier to program and get compiler hints).
The fracking was happening anyway for oil, and that the by-product natural gas is now worth selling on instead of just flaring off is a nice bonus.

(In West Texas, at least; I don't know enough about the oil industry in the rest of the country to comment about it.)
I hate to say it but the “ideas” from the Japanese government lately are just terrible.

I’m concerned, I know this ageist, but those in government itself are just too old.
