"We need more tradespeople" seems to be an evergreen news article.

My brother in law is an electrician. He is paid alright, enough to live on. But there are HUGE downsides. He does not receive health insurance. He does not get paid vacation. In order to match decent white-collar pay, he needs to work overtime. His company pushes hard to get jobs finished fast, causing people to cut safety corners. Many of his coworkers have been badly (in one case, nearly fatally) injured on the job. There are no meaningful raises.

It isn't a bad career, but there are major reasons why it would be unattractive.
They're too busy studying underwater basket weaving at Vassar, Wesleyan, Sarah Lawrence, etc.
Most people shouldn't need to own a car.

Do you understand why making such proclamations about other's lifestyles is authoritarian?

Also, it's not so reasonable to declare others "authoritarian" because of the detection of an externality. Unless, one has nominated one's self as a superior arbiter of truth. If you are equal, then it's up to you to convince others.
Freelancing have much more unpaid time than fulltime work. As a freelancer, you will have breaks between contracts, unpaid time searching for your next gig, or even more complex tax filings. You will spend unpaid time researching health insurance, 401k providers, and other HR concerns that are typically outsource for full-time work.

As a freelancer, you have to purchase your own equipment.

The typical rule of thumb is you take your day job hourly rate and multiply it by 2.
Hmm.. story was run by CNN, ABC, etc.

If you dont agree with CNN, what about the others?

Even Reuters ran it : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...

If you read the article, it is still under investigation as well.

"The Tesla driver told police the FSD malfunctioned but police were unable to determine if the software was in operation or if his statement was accurate, according to the report which was made public after a Reuters request."

It is possible it is FSD, also possible the driver is lying.

> Maybe the first Google hit isn't enough to get a complete understanding of the situation in this case.

Maybe no google hit will work because sometimes people consider things more of a "religion" and no evidence can convince someone to sway from their religious beleifs. What does it say when you wrote "It's literally impossible for the CNN article to be" when multiple respected agencies carried the story?

Do you have Developer access to Tesla and know for a fact this is not true? If so, have you contacted any authority to report this?

Edit: do you dispute the fatalities as well?
Eh, they will change their minds pretty quickly once they can't afford fuel for their car any more.
Doing one-off projects on your own home is not equivalent to being a full time roofer or tile-layer, or even plumber or auto tech where you are constantly working on your back, hands, and knees.

I have my own home too and the times I’ve done my own plumbing work were hard. And that’s one of the physically-speaking easier jobs, never mind Roofing, I wouldn’t last a week.
How much did you lose, how long did you take it, and how long have you been off of it?
> Indeed, and this went on for a good 10 years - possibly more - I think. I remember being annoyed that my decently high end system, purchased at the beginning of 2000, could no longer run many of the latest games

I remember this period of very rapid advancement, too. It was such a trope in the computer market at the time, Weird Al even made fun of it in his lyrics:

My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks

But it was obsolete before I opened the box

You say you've had your desktop for over a week?

Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique!

Your laptop is a month old? Well, that's great

A lot of these threads devolve into "have you tried paying more" but I'd also like to highlight "have you actually tried telling Gen Z that". I'm 35, from basically as early as I can remember until sophmore year of college I was told constantly by every adult (and I mean every adult not just the ones that had degrees) in my life to go to college, get a degree, any degree. So yeah I went to college. It was aggressively marketed to me for over a decade and that affected my aspirations.

Doesn't help either I'm sure that unions, the organizations willing/capable of marketing-to, teaching/training people and giving them some sense of camaraderie, have been attacked for decades as being variously inefficient to straight evil.
Fantastic, hope you find some things this stuff is great to do and almost as much fun to read about.

> Some companies will send threatening letters, dept collectors etc after you if you just cancel the CC instruction.

What companies do this in practice. I think I’ve “ghosted” 300 companies and never had a single even send a threatening letter, much less do anything. Usually I get an email of “error processing your card, please fix or we turn off.”

I can’t imagine it is ever economical to pursue in courts over an $11.99/month contract.

The exception is gyms that do seem to go to ends of the earth to collect.
The lack of tactile buttons increases distraction considerably.

I cannot activate most controls on a Tesla without taking my eyes off the road.

> It's just absurd.

It is.

What's needed is some kind of aggregator; a firm that will sublicence content from the major providers, and sell it to consumers. I'm not going to set up a Netflix account to watch one show.

Of course, the big content providers won't sublicence; they'll have to be forced to. But I would watch more of their content if I could pay for just what I want to watch, without subscribing to a mess of bundles containing mainly dross content.
This was my argument at the time: build long-term trust with your users (including in your UI) is more important than short-term gains.
I'm not talking about benchmarks, I'm talking about average end user experience.
It's so true! It's such a tragedy when a really good book is ruined by bad narration. All of the Hitchhikers Guide books (except for the first one, which is masterfully read by Stephen Fry), are a good example, but there are tons of other examples. There's usually only one version as well so you can't even shop around for a version with a better narrator either.
>data breaches/leaks identification

Maybe "Leaksider" or "LeakSider" or something -- a portmanteau of "leaks" and "insider"? The graphic design of the logo can emphasize the ID.
Well, they have those problems AND a CEO that (at best) can be called divisive, and who staked a lot of his stock in a separate company that is also (at best) divisive.
I read the entire thing lol. I don't agree with your conclusion. The paper doesn't make that conclusion.
Propaganda, those chips won't be used anywhere else.
Looks like lithium ion battery density has tripled since 2010 from about 100 Wh/kg to 300 Wh/kg:

https://cleantechnica.com/2020/02/19/bloombergnef-lithium-io...

160 Wh/kg for sodium ion would be higher than the ~105 Wh/kg LMO cathode and about in line with LCO, LMO/LNO and NMC cathodes up through 2012.

I think LMO is lithium manganese oxide, which might be the same type of battery as in my 2013 Nissan Leaf. Mine's 24 kWh, but they're up to 62 kWh now:

https://www.batterydesign.net/nissan-leaf/

They use AESC cells, which are 80% nickel with a Ni-Mn-Co mix:

https://insideevs.com/news/348513/envision-aesc-ncm-811-batt...

Perhaps better cathodes could double sodium ion battery density over the next decade?
They probably don't have DVD rental at all in your country. Netflix in the US/CA and Lovefilm in the UK were the only DVD/Bluray mailing service that I'm aware of. Once they were able to offer streaming internationally, setting up mailorder service probably wasn't even considered.
That "Handshake" platform went from 10 applications per role in 2020 to 5 applications per role in 2022, but the number of roles increased. Based on the stats provided, this article just seems like another lamentation that labor has made gains.

It's also not clear that this platform is representative of the market. I've never heard of it before, but it bills itself as "The #1 way college students get hired" which seems questionable.
Cute, but reads like a snarky fearmongering story, a discursive pretext to ban small biotech businesses. Remember the media backlash following the humble glowing plant kickstarter project?

Instead of this we need stories and cases of applying gene therapy to reduce human suffering, increase human health and extend human lives.

No change. SRAM got almost no process improvements compared to 5nm. And 5nm had minimal compared to 7nm. So 3nm has “3nm”-class small transistors and 7nm class SRAM.
If weight gain was genetic then we’d have fat ancestors. Nobody has fat ancestors.

So sure we can drug everyone to try and fix it, but that’s not actually fixing the cause.
In e.g. Scandinavia:

The salary difference between say a software dev and a trade worker is pretty small (perhaps 30% less after taxes).

The body breaking down aspect is still an issue. Younger people in these fields seem a lot more aware though - they're practically health freaks compared to your stereotypical 50-ish somewhat round trade worker with back pain issues.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how that generation fares with 4.5 decades of phyical work. Japan is probabably the place look at for research.
Given the clothing industry's low barriers to entry...maybe there is a good reason why?
Excuse Me, Your Tie Is Unzipped
Plumbing strikes me as one of the very last manual jobs that will be automated, if ever. Every plumbing issue, even the most basic, is different due to the fittings and hardware being used.

For example, I've been putting off hiring a plumber to replace the old drum trap behind my bathtub with a p-trap. I can't even fathom how a robot would go about doing such a thing when a plumber needs to sit there and think about how to do this: open access, judge where the pipes are going (without even seeing some of them), the amount of space, whether they'll need more space and cut in from the ceiling below, etc.
It could increase wages as labor/labour would have one less worker in the pool increasing the demand and wages.
> But please don't lump the entire generative art community in with "icky stuff"

To be fair, there is substantial interest in using things like Stable Diffusion to generate pornography. There are several projects for hentai, etc.

There have also been large threads on /g/ teaching people how to generate hypernerworks with suspiciously young looking subjects since the beginning. The "icky stuff" has a disturbing footprint.
Tradespeople will definitely not be making 300k+ off a few years of experience five years from now.
None of the infotainment systems on new EVs are particularly laggy anymore - BMW and Mercedes systems are quite good.

VW is the only one still shipping a piece of crock.
Are retailer unit costs fixed? The larger they become, the better contracts they can negotiate with suppliers, the cheaper they can make their logistics and delivery network with economies of scale, and the less they have to spend on advertising.
I just gifted a 2013 MBP to my father after replacing the battery. It's a pain in the neck to replace, but fairly doable if you're even slightly inclined to hardware repair and can read instructions. Worst part was dissolving all the glue. Not sure why Apple felt the need to use seemingly aviation grade VHB tape to keep the batteries in, but it's a lot of acetone and a lot of scraping to get it all off. All it took was $90 for the kit and a couple hours.
Cops Hacked Thousands of Phones. Was It Legal?
Note that AMX can achieve roughly double the FLOPS with FP16, and 8 TFLOPS for the GPU is only about 77% of peak. You can do better than that, especially using FP16 90+% is possible (which is >9.4 TFLOPS).
Tesla is far behind everyone else on navigation due to the simple fact that Teslas do not have Carplay. There's no Waze on Teslas, how can you drive without it?

But here's how the current Mercedes navigation looks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgy3askMcM The AR stuff works really well and is arguably way ahead of anything Tesla offers.
People now read that not only do the software engineers earn a lot but they also get to work remotely. This is most likely what influenced the change in 2020-2022 years - everyone else is jealous and would prefer a job that allows for remote work.
I don't own a Tesla or stock cause I am poor, but I believe in Tesla and a lot of what Elon Musk has said in the past. I thought the Giga Factory idea was great. The Cyber Truck actually looks cool to me, mostly cause it's futuristic and different. I also don't think Elon cares that much if the stock goes down, as long as he is able to move forward with his vision, which hopefully he is able to do, because if I were being optimistic and taking him at his word, then it's an exciting future. It won't all go as planned, but nothing ever does.
NK is different.. you cannot even travel there normally without going through an agency.

But iran.. I don't know what their customs rules are but if you pay import fees, probably unlimited amounts.

How much you can buy? A lot.. eg. 10k voltage regulators is such a common order size, that they have a predefined lowered price even in online stores (without having to contact sales):

Someone wrote this comment and then deleted it, but I found it interesting:

> I both fear and yearn for the AI narrator who can just keep reading after the book is finished. OK, I just finished the twenty-one volumes of Master & Commander, but the author died before the last book was finished. So please use the rest of the series as training data to finish the last book, and then go ahead and generate and read book twenty-two to me also.

> As of now the result might be almost as good as the final season of Game of Thrones, which isn't very good, but we're early in this revolution.

It would also be interesting if every time you re-listen to the final book, the AI comes up with an entirely different ending. And every listener also gets a different ending from everyone else. Alternatively, authors with writer's block on their final book (George R.R. Martin) could have AI generate many different possible endings and then pick their favorite one to publish as the canonical ending.

This is a huge deal for improving US competitiveness worldwide, can't wait for the comments period to open.

This is won't affect early stage startups much: startups have limited negotiating power and non-competes are a <blink> tag: it's such a bad look, entrepreneurs are quickly pulled aside by advisors, lawyers, etc.

This might affect California, which used them (their ban) to compete with other states. It's a soft thing along with sunshine, funding (easier, faster, better terms) and the talent pool (larger, better connected).

I've been affected by non-competes all my career and it was part of my decision to move from New York to California - the software industry was simply too volatile to attach yourself to one employer. As I graduated, I had companies recruiting me, it was impossible to pick. Decades years later, I have enough power (and savvy) to cross-out NCAs from contracts along with overly prescriptive SOWs, toothless financial promises, etc. But kids, if you're reading this, the negotiation never ends if you want to get paid and earn a living.
I think they are imagining a world where journalism is as well-paid and comfortable as the tech industry, and therefore it's somehow hypocritical for journalists to cover less comfortable industries. I don't really think it's worth responding to to be honest.

An international wire transfer has been instantaneous when I’ve used them in the past. I’ve never sent to Ukraine, but have to UK, Nepal, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Romania, Switzerland, Korea, and Australia. I haven’t timed it, but recipients all got the money same day.

Does it take a long time in Kiev to process transfers?

How does the recipient spend butcoin anyway? Wouldn’t they need to transfer it to a local bank before withdrawing as cash or whatnot?
This is why Unions exist, no?

Personally I sometimes wonder if I'd have enjoyed plumbing water more than plumbing code as I'd be meeting more people face to face, physically active, and it can get surprisingly complex (Berkeley, I think, offers a postgrad cert in plumbing buildings like sky scrapers which I saw advertised the other day)

> Linda Hale Bucklin made a pact with her husband, Bill, to communicate after death. Here she shares her personal experience and other stories of love and faith in the afterlife.

Bill died after 40 years of marriage.

The rest of the paragraph:

> Bill loved and found solace in nature. Often, we voiced our wonder of the sight of a full moon peeking above the hills of Stinson, rising heavily until it pushed free of the horizon, a perfect circle in the dark sky. On nights with a new moon, we would walk to the end of the beach to find our favorite constellation, the Pleiades. I know Bill carried within him deep currents of spiritual yearning that he found easiest to express through the beauty he saw in all places wild.
Dunno if we can have 2 memory partitions on memory banks limits: One for the GPU and one for the CPU, namely until the CPU<->GPU are working on their own partition of the memory, the memory controller could issue commands for separated sets of memory banks in parallel (could CLX 3.0 handle that)?

Basically, it would mean a iGPU close to the speed of a dGPU. No DMA engine, no PCIe.

Working on something at your house is very different from doing it day in and day out, year after year. I have worked many manual labor jobs over the years and after just a few years started having constant pain in my knees, feet, and lower back. My father has been in a trade his entire life and in his late 50s, he was already having many physical issues from it. Not everyone can just take on an apprentice - especially since this article is stating that nobody wants to do these jobs.
Even if we have more electric vehicles, that doesn't decarbonize anything unless the source of the energy doesn't generate carbon dioxide.

The point of EVs, is that it liberates that energy use, allowing it to be decarbonized. If the energy storage is in the form of fossil fuels, then this is a significant blocker!
I think they intended to refer to software development QA, not benchmarking. I do agree with the sentiment that consumer software should generally be usable on 10 year old hardware. "Generally" carries a lot of weight here, because intensive applications like CAD will always be laggy on old hardware.
Forking from github, editing and deploying to netlify is not easy for a non-developer. That's why they use Substack, Ghost, Wordpress.com etc.
The median annual wage for electricians was $60,040 in May 2021. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,020, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $99,800.
Depends on state law. In "at will" to work states they can terminate you for anything.
> evidence that religion is harmful

Calling either "harmful" relies on a second (or even third) order effects concept of harm that would absolutely terrify anybody who spends more than a few minutes thinking through the consequences of adopting that concept.
A lot of people are assuming that because the US and Europe -- e.g. the collective "West" -- is sanctioning Iran, then the whole world is, and so there is shock and confusion about how Iran can buy very common parts on the global market, when in reality it just calls up Alibaba and gets whatever it wants like everyone else. If China, India, Russia, Brazil, the OPEC nations, Latin America, etc are not sanctioning you, then you are not going to have any trouble obtaining widely available parts. And even things like replacement engines for jet aircraft -- Iran has a domestic airlines and they are able to obtain parts for that, too.

I think the reason why this obvious truism keeps surprising people is that deep down, they are really convinced that the West is the whole world, and so western sanctions are assumed to always be global sanctions, and then people ask questions like "How can Iran have a domestic airline industry if no one is selling them parts? How can Iran possibly make drones? Satellites? Missiles? Gas Turbines?" Etc.

It's a big multipolar world, and very little stuff is actually made in the West. Most stuff is made in Asia and sold globally, and the vast majority of the world and the world's markets are doing business with Iran.

You’d be surprised. Sometimes quality of life is better spent not working when you can lean on family and friends Or your own small retirement fund.

Scott Aaronson is not a quantum-computing skeptic, quite the opposite, he has always seemed optimistic about its prospects and his work has been fundamental to progress in the field. He just does not like hyped-up work that has little substance. If anything, Bruce Schneier should have been a bit more skeptical - this type hyped-up unreviewed preprint papers appear very frequently these days.
That's a good way to look at it, sure. But it includes the value of fixed assets like factories. Debt compared to income is still a valuable indicator, since it's income that makes the debt payments, and also pays for things like R&D.
