The startup or starting your own consulting firm route seems like it might interest you at this point.

You could work on something directly using your ML skills, do consulting work, or offer coaching / classes.

The coaching route in particular might be an enjoyable way to have the good parts of teaching a class.
Djota: A Djot Implementation in Prolog
It's the fragmentation and lack of ease of use that does it. If I had a NAS and Jellyfin setup, I'd have a catalog of basically everything available to stream; I wouldn't have to look a dozen different places to see if anyone has it available; I'd not have to worry about the streaming rights switching to another service in the middle of a show I'm watching; I'd not have to search through a bunch of different services to find where exactly I purchased it; I wouldn't have to learn a bunch of different inconsistent crappy, buggy interfaces; previous purchases wouldn't mysteriously disappear.

Throw all that on top of not being forced to watch the same ad for Rings of Power the thousandth time in a row, a much broader library of content, a better library of subtitles, and no performance issues.

I'm happy to pay for things that deliver usable experiences. Concretely, I'd gladly pay $200/month for a good streaming service that avoids the pitfalls mentioned. But I'm not going to pay money to subject myself to abusive practices and terrible experiences.
Agreed, the amount of free info available on building a safe, efficient home is great, as well as easy access to modern materials.
I agree that it is a bipartisan problem, but then I thought that was the exact point the article was trying to make:

... many things could change in the years ahead that make the existing status quo more perilous for leftists: Twitter could start hiring conservatives; it could overcorrect in the face of right-wing criticism, or buckle under mounting FBI pressure; national security agencies could embark on a fiercer crackdown of the Left; a Republican could return to the White House; or a GOP Congress could follow Democrats’ example and pressure tech firms to censor what conservatives consider dangerous speech, to name a few possibilities. The best defense against this is to start opposing these trends now, not when it’s too late.

I didn't think they were trying to make the Left look bad. I thought they were trying to mobilise their fellow progressives, to get them to take an interest.
No, grant proposals normally expect you to provide preliminary results. The more controversial your proposal, the better your preliminaries have to be. Especially you have to convince the funding deciders that you did the appropriate positive and negative controls.
I for one absolutely love it. It doesn’t just look cool, it’s maximally functional for all of my use cases.
If crypto becomes regulated (and actively enforced!), the whole thing will crater. There is absolutely no point to crypto besides being used as a way to bypass regulation.

With regulation, crypto is a completely boring pseudo-investment.

But hey, maybe I’m wrong and regulation will be a positive for crypto. I doubt it very much though.
> My main objection to this really started when I saw the short "Out" listed prominently on my kids Disney+ account. Its an animated kid friendly short detailing how to come out to your family.

I hate shit like this. It's just pandering to progressive parents who will sit and watch that with their kids. No kid under 9 or 10 is concerned with coming out (or at least they're a very tiny population), and in middle school liking childish things (like twee Disney shorts) is cringe as hell, so they're not watching it. It's all about parents being able to give themselves backpats, which is stupid. Or Disney employees who want to pack themselves on the back for being progressive enough.

Like just from an audience standpoint, it doesn't make sense?

Most scientific breakthroughs in history did not go through peer review. That's a new consensus mechanism that was introduced not that long ago.

Again just like the other poster you are trying to move the goal posts. The comment did not say some. The comment said "the fact that America's most walkable and transit-accessible neighborhoods are also the most expensive and highest demand". I provided a single example that proves this statement is not a fact.

You're just linking to GDPR text. You are not a lawyer. IDK what agenda you're trying to push, but I'm flagging this as it's just noise / flame bait.
Yes, sure. I don't see how that detracts from the point I made, or the original poster in this thread made.

A pound of carbon dioxide is the same problem wherever it is emitted. Likewise a gallon of water from the Colorado is the same problem wherever it is taken out. The Colorado water supply problems are equally the responsibility (and fault) of California as they are the other states and Mexico which pull water from it. Legalese doesn't change this.

California's water use has recently been unsustainable. Much of this water is used to irrigate formerly arid lands which have historically been used for high water needs agriculture. This is true.
I must be missing something, the window goes from "around 30 seconds" to 8 seconds (i.e. it became more permissive) and this is a bad thing?
Someone once said to me, "HR is there to protect the company from the employees." Always keep that in mind. That's what they're paid for.

For some reason, I also think of the quote [1] from Bleak House,

"Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!"

In the old days, they were called "Personnel." Now that's too old-fashioned, and pretty soon the name "HR" will be, too, so they'll call it something else.

[1] https://quotepark.com/quotes/1726203-charles-dickens-this-is...
Wasn't the precursor "Personnel Departments" which were more administrative? Especially in a pre-computer era with more literal paperwork? It seems like HR evolved out of that to service more "strategic" business needs, which sure, probably included union busting, but also includes many other functions to serve companies in more competitive environments that are dominated by knowledge work.
I am no expert, but the right to be forgotten is not absolute. You can’t commit a crime and then ask for evidence to be removed, for example. Not tell your bank to remove your tax-related transactions.
Living at your parent's house with an ankle bracelet, only out of jail on a $250 million bond is quite a different scenario than being in a Bahamian mansion.

I still can't decide if this example shows how amazing Mathematica is or something else:

pelvisLoc = AnatomyData[Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "Pelvis"], "RegionBounds"];
Show[
Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "Skin"]["Graphics3D"],
PlotRange -> pelvisLoc,
PlotRangePadding -> {33, 33, 19},
ViewPoint -> {0.961, 1.62, 0.203},
ViewVertical -> {0.109, 0.284, 1.202}
]

It certainly shows how rich of a data set mathematica has. This[1] was another such example.

> They are on HR's side

Yeah... if they were always "representing the best interests of the company", at least they'd be predictable and for the most part I can deal with predictable. What they're usually representing is something else entirely.
>The proposed rule would generally not apply to other types of employment restrictions, like non-disclosure agreements. However, other types of employment restrictions could be subject to the rule if they are so broad in scope that they function as noncompetes.

Do we think it would apply to non-solicitation clauses?

You do not need to go sit in some fancy law firm's office to get good legal advice.

Just because you live in a Big City doesn't mean you need to pay Big City "Power Firm" rates for basic contract advice and consultations.

In those situations you're not meeting with partners anyway - you're getting assigned to a junior associate at best. Often, the paralegals end up doing all the grunt work anyway... and if you're not careful you'll pay them as-if a senior partner dedicated their entire day to your basic mundane situation.
Many adults were told college was the only way to go. Those who went through college and those who didn't. Doesn't matter the debt. It's always better.

Except it's not. First, society is going to have too few skilled trades folks in the coming years due to people retiring and not being replaced. Second, a lot of college degrees can't get someone a good job. I remember someone telling me they had a business degree and couldn't get a job managing a store at the mall.

Copper mining is very dirty (not necesseraly C02-wise), and an EV needs 4 times more of it (IIRC) than an equivalent ICV.
Still, I guess you could catch some of these smugglers ? They will be fined/jailed/both, which could influence others doing the same & at least would drive up the price of components.
The weird thing is that this CEO (<2 years in role) was a management consultant type who has never been in an operator role. I'm guessing she was put there by some investors in the hope of a quick PE sale or something like that.
HR and management are effectively the same from an employee perspective (with slightly different motives), so the cynicism is equally applicable to you.

Managers aren’t your friend either.
Yep. And Engineers often have pet projects. Marketing often has a slightly odd artistic vision for something.

People are gonna be people.
Sounds like all the HR stuff you've been involved with is not threatening to the company (lucky you), so of course they are sweet a pie. Go to them for help with a discrimination complaint or the like (or just google up the thousands of stories) and you'll see "what happened".
Yeah, that sounds right, and I don't agree with making it opt-out. I think it should be opt-in and like you am now almost completely certain that it isn't.
Why do you have to manually lock a car door? I’ve never pressed the lock/unlock icon on the screen in 4 years of driving my Model 3.

But by the way, you don’t have to hunt thru a menu for it, the lock status icon is pressable and it’s always on the home screen.

Lock and unlock is like start and stop buttons. Almost totally extraneous and easily inferred 99% of the time.
Why is what you are describing preferable to the government outright banning them? California has effectively banned non-competes for years and their economy seems to have survived the ordeal.

Which is a work of fiction. Such a thing probably happened no more than a few times. The only reason it gets parroted back is because it serves as a nice bit of propaganda to gin up fear and get people to fall in line.

You don't even need to engage in that debate at all. Github doesn't allow porn on its platform. It doesn't matter what kind of porn (not the least of which porn that's illegal in the United States, which isn't Github's decision to censor or not). Github says "no porn," so no porn. Why does Github say "no porn?" Because their business model is to be a place where folks can do work, which necessitates it being a place where you can browse documentation without coming across NSFW content.

> because our advertisers/payment processors don't like it

Or, more simply, because if Github fills up with porn, the business professionals paying money to host their code on github will find a place that's not full of porn to host their code. It's a weird argument to say "Github's ability to make money and stay in business shouldn't matter because I want to host my awesome list of anime nudes."

> Like, in Japan, that kind of stuff seems, if not totally normal, at least acceptable enough to be included in stores along with other regular manga. So how should enforcement 'on the internet' reflect cultural values?

Github isn't a random store in Japan, it's the equivalent of an office building in Japan (whether you imagine it that way or not). If you brought your porn to work in Japan and hung it in your cubicle, it would almost certainly be frowned upon.
> But that's the thing...is "perfection" worth 3 hours of video editing for something you casually consume?

Any book of any length took countless hours to write and edit. Yes, I think it's worth a bit of extra time for a human to go through and read the thing aloud.

If the alternative really is no audiobook at all... okay, I guess something is better than nothing. But on the whole, I'd like publishers to just record more audiobooks, and I'm concerned this technology will result in fewer "real" audiobooks being produced.
I think you are confusing non-compete and NDA, IP rights, non solicitation agreements and the like. You can go work for competitor, but it doesn't allow you to use any of your previous employer's IP, poach colleagues, clients etc. Doesn't prevent you from using your expertise and come up with novel things.
And some big companies do care that you don't do it, because they don't want to go into litigations because layers like to target fat cats.
How does it read like gate keeping when being used to describe an alternative project leader that makes makes fun of George Floyd for no apparent reason (edit: whoops I totally forgot, never mention race on HN, it makes the extremely diverse user base react viscerally to your woke BS commentary), openly refuses to respect the licenses of code they decided nick, insists it's not meant to be open source...

It'd be one thing if the dude was just prickly to work with or something, but it's unprofessional behavior by even the lowest standards.

-

InvokeAI on the other hand is being more open with their development, and making good effort towards having some sane licensing setup.

I'd say even just separating the project from personal accounts with racially charged game mods goes a long way for professionalism, but maybe you'd say that's gate keeping?

UI is subjective but it's not hard to call InvokeAI's more polished since again, the bar is so low with A1111's interface
The other big difference between the USA (and Canada) and other places in the world is the built environment. NA does have a scattered few walkable cities, but there's a great many places where it's effectively impossible by design to go about the tasks of ones day fueled only by person power and not by getting in a car. This has implications on the amount of calories people are burning every day.
As someone working in HR for the last few years, this is the most correct take. I would add that people working in HR - like any other area - have their own goals, and you should also take that in consideration. Sometimes they don't align at all with the organization.

BTW, it's really funny reading all these takes thinking HR people are evil. Almost as funny as talking to HR that are completely oblivious to the idea that people have about them.
I think it's a mistake to put much weight on the name. In companies where that department is called "People Ops" or "The People Team", the fundamental responsibilities to the company are unchanged.

We can create cases where blockers aren't effective till we're blue in the face. At some point, the measures taken to prevent this start to do more harm to other parts of the population than good.

My belief is we've slowly let parents get away with not actually parenting and moved that job over to the government and other institutions.

There's many more ways to tackle this that may be more effective and actually seek to educate.
How about start with some educational content on why porn is bad for young minds and how to talk to your child about it in a mature way?

It's like nobody wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room and have a civil and mature discussion about it with their children because it's awkward or uncomfortable.
Ask HN: Why do so many people believe that 550/2 = 225?
Scariest moment at the growing startup I work for was HR approving an engineering requisition.

I disagree with your definition. It simply is contrary to my own experiences.

I still remember when I cried when I was a child. It was overwhelming, and I could not stop it, but every single time there was a reason for it. And I'm sure it was, for all empirical purposes, for all that I have lived, an emotion.

Once I cried because I did miss Goldfinger on TV. You see, there's an explanation. The difference is, it was impossible to even think about stopping it. I was overwhelming.

Then one day, I was 8 or 9 years old, I cried for the last time that way. And it was not something I wanted to do, either. It just happened, I guess, as a normal part of growing up.

Let me repeat, for emphasis: I strongly disagree with your definition.

Emotions are not unexplained rational thoughts, emotions are feelings. They reside in a different part of the brain. You seem to think a hunch is an emotion.
I also thought it was a bad sentence, but thank you for giving me solid reasons why that is so.

I wouldn't put Games / Software in the same category as media. I wouldn't pirate software (can you even still pirate games with everything being online / server-side?), but I do "pirate" Spotify / Youtube (with ad-blockers). I still pay subscriptions for Netflix / Hulu / Disney+ / Amazon Prime but already cancelled HBO and Paramount+ and will consider cancelling more.

I do occasionally "pirate" old foreign content that just can't be bought anywhere but it's too much of a hassle (Docker with VPN kill-switch, finding a "legit" torrent tracker, etc.); might consider using it for mainstream content as well if the streaming services keep diluting available media or keep bumping up prices to an unreasonable level.
A country, and specific institutions within, having a bad reputation for published research reliability isn’t racism.
It is amazing to me how many people continue to obfuscate and/or downplay the revelations of the Twitter Files by pointing to the fact that Twitter is a private company that can do what they want. The issue isn't what Twitter did, the issue is that government agencies and politicians were directing Twitter to ban and censor people based on the content of their speech. This should be incredibly chilling to anyone who cares about free speech, the 1st Amendment or freedom in general. It isn't the place of the US government to regulate, suppress or attempt to influence the speech of US citizens in any way, shape or form, regardless of how much they don't like that speech or find it inconvenient to their respective agendas. It isn't the job of the FBI, the CIA, the DHS or any other 3-letter agency to try to control the public narrative, whether they call it "managing misinformation" or "disinformation" or any other euphemism they come up with. This isn't a "right wing" or "left wing" issue. If we purport to be a democracy that exists based on the consent of the masses then we need to ensure that our consent is not being manufactured and manipulated by the very government that supposedly exists to represent and work for us.
Can you quantitatively say that some cellular automata compute framework would give a broad or more accurate output than a typical linear compute framework? I fail to see how embedding some complex computation into a cellular automata framework with over-provisioned resources gives unique compute insight and it almost seems synonymous with some ML auto-scaler or some ML controller that dynamically scales compute when needed.

What specific problems are not tractable via traditional autoscaling methods that cellular automata can compute more efficiently or accurately? I understand you think stochastic type/life type computations are better suited for this, but that would be more of a hunch than verifiable proof.
1) Carpenters and Plumbers (electricians, mechanics, etc) are _not_ unskilled. There's a reason these trades have apprenticeships - there's _a lot_ to know and learn before you're capable on your own.

2) A path for immigrants to legally work in those fields would likely push down wages, but it would also reduce the cost of those services! Housing could become cheaper, so could the ongoing cost of owning a home. That could potentially reach a nice equilibrium.
This isn't the case for all trades people. It might be a bad area or a bad employer.

I've know trades folks who are electricians, plumbers, carpenters, work in road construction, etc. They typically work reasonable hours, have medical, and are paid at or above the median income for where they live. They didn't rack up debt getting into this either. This is not a bad deal for many people.
