"demean low paying jobs at all costs for reasons I still don't understand."

A lot of the demeaning came from the low wage workers themselves. Both my grandparents were blue collar. One painted houses, one was an elevator mechanic. They essentially forbade their children from going into the trades. "Learn to make a living with your brain, not your back" was what my dad heard constantly from his father while growing up. And so my father went to college and became an engineer.
This is super cool. The levels of abstraction needed to do this makes my geek brain explode. In a good way :)
Because business is a market. If your competitors are offering cheaper, faster jobs why would they pick you? As long as the corner cutting doesn't affect the customer, the latter is a better deal. The cynical reality is that safety violations affecting workers don't really matter to most customers, the end result and the cost of obtain it do.

The more realistic scenario is less pay in exchange for slower hours.
What makes you think every founder has a degree?
It's not a good analogy but at the end of the day it's a bad Linux issue. Sony has no obligation to make sure it's driver will never halt a system. Linux does.
I too hate the way they deal with CSD and I'd wish they'd change their opinions, but the project is theirs to manage and I can only accept that if I don't like it I can just use KWin. For those wishing GNOME stuck more to its origins, there's always Cinnamon.

As for the API stuff: why does the display server need to deal with power management? That sounds like something the power management API should do. IMO, the display server should just display things, not manage power states or login states. Wayland draws the screensaver, but the session manager controls the actual session.

Still, there is an open MR to accept this API (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/111) that needs to be rebased and needs a bug resolved. The solution falls perfectly in line with the GNOME way of doing things as well (forwarding the Wayland API to DBus so the DBus interface can do its thing), the only problem is that nobody is interested enough to do the hard work.

DBus is an excellent method to communicate anything that doesn't involve exchanging buffers. Many members of the Wayland project are trying to prevent going down the same path X11 went down, sucking up more and more features and API surface and becoming a huge, unstable, buggy mess because of its sheer code size.

As for your mouse cursor issue, Wayland's cursor_theme seems to be supported by at least. I can't find cursor_theme in the Wayland spec itself (there is a merge request at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/i... but I don't see much activity) so until that gets stabilized you can choose between using DBus or a bespoke, DE-specific API, pick a compositor that takes away cursor control from the application entirely, or switch back to X11.
When I run vi, I get vim (Linux, macOS, illumos).

Only FreeBSD, in my easily ssh'able world, has real Bill Joy (et al) vi.
Most software ultimately automates menial labor. If the menial labor that's being automated is highly paid, the software engineer is highly paid. If the menial labor is lower paid, the software engineer is lower paid. Adjusting also for the amount of menial labor which is automated.

In a poorer society equivalent menial labor is more poorly paid than in a richer society. Edit to add: And in a poorer society some of the highly paid menial labor that exists in richer societies may just not exist, or at least not in the same amount.
Some stuff still needs to be done, by code (which should be enforced) or by that people want basic services like electricity to actually exist.
Sure type 2 diabetes or being drastically overweight disqualifies you from service.

Lots of people have never done a push up or run outside of gym class by the time they serve, it’s not a new challenge. Couch to 5K is solvable and the military is pretty good at it.

I’d love to quantify your comment a bit more… how many young people have a disqualifying health issue like type 2 diabetes, heart problems or obesity? How much of a problem is it really?
Lineman, controls, fire alarm, even commercial is probably better then stapling romex and ruining joists.
Narcissistic mind games are supposed to be subtle and have a plausible enough connection to reality that people believe them. You're not really doing it very well.
Aye matey. Only thing I pay for is Bandcamp since it goes direct to the creator and steam games because the experience is amazing esp since I game exclusively on Linux.
Sorry to hear about your predicament (best of luck)

This scenario illustrates why “smart” TVs aren’t such a great idea (you think it’s dead and can’t log out, but someone else eventually fixes it or uses its parts)
Nothing like good motivation for teaching children basic computer skills like block circumvention and sandbox escape methods from an early age.

Besides, if AI can do the homework maybe it is the homework or teacher that has failed the Turing test.
What crap. You are implying “international” == “bad”. Like poor workers, likely to commit crimes, poor communicators, etc.

The opposite is true. The “internationals” in that photo have a strong reputation for interest and hard work in engineering and the sciences.
With literature, I like that reading a great novel gives me access to the mind of people more intelligent than me :)

For technical, I find retain the information better when I read as a opposed to watching a video.
That's morally acceptable for me and probably for the GP.
Gen X chiming in. Several of my uncles were skilled laborers. It was good work, it paid well, most of my cousins had a pretty good life. Most of them better than mine in fact. But there was always a bit of a stigma over their heads about being blue collar instead of white collar, and the general feeling was that Grandpa's generation never had that problem. This was something new, accelerated by things like the 1980's recession and in particular the rise of imported automobiles.

So the Boomer parents saw this going on and encouraged their kids to go to college, which was the last generation where that advice mostly worked, and we, seeing our uncles and cousins and highschool friends struggle, doubled down with the thing that seemed to help us, but was already starting to look like a crapshoot when we went through the system.

It's all class warfare, with a heavy dose of horizontal aggression.
The endgame is point it at docs to generate code... Ask your manager.
I'm not sure how this squares with the statistics shared in the article that the average (not sure if median or mean) ages of many trades is in the 50s. Evidently they can continue to perform these jobs into middle age and beyond.
All the V-Cache parts are currently premium parts. Dropping the L3 from the underlying CCD chiplet would force them to incur the extra 3D packaging costs on all the products using those chiplets. It would also put the V-Cache directly over the CPU cores, where the current products only stack V-Cache on top of the L3 portion of the underlying CCD.

I don't expect them to make this kind of change anytime soon.
wow, I wonder if that's why it always feels so frequent an experience of mine where the audio and video feel subtly out of sync with one another. It's very minute but detectable. Feels like that experience has increased in the last 6 months or so.
In my personal experience you can eat less and maintain energy better if you get sufficient protein (caffeine helps too, though).

Edit: and proper hydration is important for energy too!
> Hence the clarification. Hopefully it's clear now

Nope. Just that you personally rule something as tangential that I claim is not. Your personal preferences aren't present in the guidelines (I've read them). If you wish them to be so, please rewrite the guidelines.

> You made the claim

I did not. I claimed that there is such a thing as textual articles, ie. an existential claim. I didn't claim that all text, or all articles, or all textual articles, share a single format. They exist, and claiming that something entirely different (a chain of social media objects) falls under the same head is false. Claiming that two different categories of things are, in fact, different, is not 'tangential', or related only to 'formatting'.
For what it's worth, I do the same and I have multiple friends who also do this. We also buy band t-shirts and pirate music.

Lots of people want to support the artist and have a convenient system.
Pretty much this. LLMs are still limited, perhaps by design but it is so. I recently summarised an article by Maggie Appleton on some of the shortcomings of the model and the implication here: https://twitter.com/kirso_/status/1610849402557722625

disclaimer: I am not the author of the original article.

Several examples:

- Language models cannot reason, consult external sources, or sense the world as we can. They also lack access to a shared reality, embodied experiences, and the ability to tell stories grounded in culture, such as referencing obscure concepts or interests.

- Current LLMs fall short due to recycled ideas, unoriginal explanations and not having an opinion. Excellence in writing (and thus thinking) requires a greater sense of critical reasoning, scepticism and going beyond the status quo and comfort.

EDIT: a few examples added.
I can’t get it to follow the prompts, so if I say. Avoid the term generally it won’t do that. The only way to change the response meaningfully is to break down the problem in smaller chunks as it puts high priority on previous responses
You're getting the Python version you've specified as a requirement in your requirements.txt, unless your users ignore or bypass that. What language features you support depend on the minimum version you pick, and if you choose to go bleeding edge/not pick a version/pick a version and use newer features anyway, you're responsible for getting support to work.

It's a personal blog and neither you nor anyone else are paying for the work, so... sure?
Oh yeah sure. Actually, a research scientist at DeepMind wrote a paper around this - clarifying some of the misconceptions around LLMs (people implying anthromorphisms that don't really exit).

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.03551.pdf

Guess it's just prevented by educating people on what these models are doing under the hood?
> So even if you did nothing or said nothing at trial, you could not be convicted
unless a jury of 12 people agreed unanimously that you are guilty

They need to unanimously agree? So, one bad/corrupt juror could render anyone not guilty?

I thought it would be majority or 3/4 majority (as they do for some bills in parliament). Unanimous seems pretty risky.
Vector length agnostic programming has its own share of problems. I'm not familiar with the RISC-V V extension, but I assume it's similar to ARM's SVE. There's a good critical look at SVE and VLA here: https://gist.github.com/zingaburga/805669eb891c820bd220418ee...
Here's Rust's try (?) operator.[1] It seems sugar for handling short-circuiting return values.

A bit like Swift's try? which converts throws to nil.[2] Less so javascript's short-circuiting optional chainging `?.`[3], which I thought of first.

[1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Try.html
[2] https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/ReferenceManual/Expression... then /Try Operator/ - section anchors don't look stable.

To me it makes more sense to call something that doesn't need a separate server "serverless". It's quite weird that the usual use of "serverless" means something on a server that you don't manage.
Well, there is a law that states you can't charge extra for using a certain credit card.

If you want to charge for credit card payments, the same fee has to apply to all cards you accept.
Hmm, how do you create this "page rule" in Cloudflare? I can't seem to figure it out.
Not once in my many years of pirating books have I come across a book I need to remove DRM from.
How do humans come up with novel ideas?
Using the RISC-V V vector instructions means that the underlying hardware vector width can change and the code will automatically take advantage of the larger width.

That said, many of the avx512 instructions are simply extended width AVX2/avx2 instructions. The interesting things about it are really the increased width and the additional registers. Not many of the new instructions that are not bitwidtg extended versions of the old ones are particularly interesting since Intel had already implemented most of the interesting things for smaller vector widths.
Another happy GoatCounter user here. I've been using it for my personal website for three years with very few hiccups. Strongly recommend.
Oh for sure, I served over 20 years ago and the branches have all adapted their PT regimes quite a bit. Push-ups, Sit-ups and Run was the standard when I served and since then I think they’ve changed it up a bunch and some have even tried incorporating crossfit-style workouts and have evolved their fitness standards - as they should. Enforcing fitness standards and mandatory participation still makes sense and always will for young people especially those who serve.

It feels a bit weird to not use a subdomain (install.clickhouse.com) or a specific route for this, and instead mix this in with your marketing site.

you just need to pay a few dollars for a foreign seedbox that is expressly designed for this purpose

you can then just set the seedbox as a source in kodi, I can even add torrents while sitting on my couch on my phone with the mobile interface

I have shared accounts to a variety of streaming services that I pay for but I largely prefer using kodi as it's a much more pleasant experience
Yeah, once the employer finds out, they've got enough business to quit.
that's quite a pivot. Can you link to an example of a typical before and after video of that content creator? I'm curious what the connection is.
Depending on the size of the town / city, it could be trivial. There's ~6 companies doing electrical work in my town. Not only are they commented on / recommended on local social media, they see each other's quotes all the time when people compare prices. If someone started a new business, I suspect they'd all know within days/weeks.

From other specialist non-trade business I'm familiar with, people are normally aware of new employees coming to town before they even start working. People talk to each other.
Isn't a 'market range' not just Netflix? If not, (? and) it includes bonuses then, or something? Or else why call it out like that?
The Ice Lake chips being benchmarked against are server chips, while the 7950X Zen 4 chip used is a consumer chip. So while Ice Lake has been out for a while, it’s also several times more expensive. It’s also worth noting that it took Intel several generations of trying AVX512 to get it working well, so AMD doing it first try really is impressive (even if they did cheat by just having AVX512 be double pumped AVX2).

In software, overtime pay usually means we aren't going to work you 60 hours a week.

But we're still full of idiots who think sacrificing your twenties to never see the sun is going to make the rest of their life easy, instead of full of health concerns. And divorce.
Yes the hype cycle has had gasoline poured on it (to mix metaphors). AI hype already came and went and it seemed like we were settling in to the "plateau of productivity" where we'd get some post hype applications. Now all that's been blown up and we're right back to the overblown "it's the next electricity" stuff. I think expectations are going to get deflated a lot faster this time, given how quick the rise was.

I mean, doesn't being a Bing feature pretty much speak for itself
You don’t have to to it all a la cart. Subscribe to one or two, and then supplement with a la cart.
- Five is definitely insufficient for some children (and too much for kids who really struggle and want to perfect books). We're working on giving parents the ability to get more; either we ship more, or once you have read the physical books you can unlock digital books. Lots of considerations there of course. We also want you to be able to use books from e.g. the school library. Q for you - for the 1 to 2 readers a day your child reads, where do those books come from?
- That's a great one. I haven't had that question before but I could certainly see the challenge there. Let me ask Elizabeth and Lauren (the experts) what they think on that.
- It goes one of two ways; both which we're happy with. The first way is the child builds their confidence and doesn't need Ello anymore. Not the best for business but a great outcome :) The other is that the child continues to value the 'safe space' to practice reading, and does it in conjunction with reading elsewhere.
- Research pretty strongly shows that the most important skill - to begin with - is decoding (learning the sounds words makes.). Comprehension comes after that. What has been fairly strongly disproven is that context in reading is sufficient (and some would even say helpful) in learning the fundamentals of reading. Having said that, comprehension is a crucial latter part of reading - we're excited for some of the potential for ChatGPT here in allowing us to go beyond basic questions.

Great questions for us to think about as to what would be in the back of parents minds. And Ill get back to you on the second!
I was confused until I realised they meant "pare back". I thought they were trying to pair "back free-flight" to "it's most raw and exciting form", until I reparsed.
Good to know, thanks. Though, that's still a pretty shoddy state of affairs.
> As of now, the drones’ propellers are still somewhat noisy. But as quiet drone technology becomes available, they’ll be able to add it to the existing framework.
As far as making life as normal impossible goes, kinda.

As far as damage goes, I think Musk might still be good for Twitter, maybe even for Revue in the long term.
I hear what you are saying, but I'm not convinced. Can you dig a bit deeper?

What makes an idea "novel"? What types of physical processes can create new ideas or have spontaneous thoughts, and which can't? What is "special" about brains, in your view?

I'm looking for some meat on the bone here.
The way you guarantee job stability would probably be to pay union members a salary even when they're temporarily not needed right? Then you pay this salary out using union dues. Union dues end up garnishing take-home wages which removes the incentive to specialize.

^ That was how I was imagining it. Am I wrong in thinking this way? Or is the argument that the urge to specialize is independent of wage?
My uneducated guess:

The app is in fact logged out, but it is still sending search logs back to YouTube using a device or session identifier. If you use YouTube logged out, for example, you’ll still have a history, which is tied to your session/device or something. There must be some system within YouTube that’s reconciling the TV’s logs back to your account, since it used to be your device.
Ehh ridiculously easy seems like a stretch. You need to adapt all of your designs for dark mode and if you haven’t thought about it in the past or you don’t have a design system that is easily adaptable in the app you are going to be updating a lot of components and screens.
If you try it, I'd love your feedback. If youve been thinking about building this yourself I'm sure you'll have some great thoughts on what we've done well and what we could do better with.
Even if you use the GNU C vector extension to explicitly give the compiler ways of optimizing C, it is not very good at generating good vector code:

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/14234#issuecomment-13345...

A bug report has been filed with GCC for one of the issues. LLVM is much better here, but not perfect, or at least that has been my experience when trying to have the compiler generate assembly for an explicitly vectorized fletcher4 implementation.
There are multiple things being lumped together. The body constantly heals itself, but doing blue collar work the issue is that the cumulative load regularly exceeds your recovery ability. Athletes can stay under the limit if they are careful.

Irrespective of job or sports people can randomly develop degenerative diseases as they age that can be exacerbated by work.
Then do it yourself. I change my own oil and filters. They're able to charge that much because plenty of people can't do it themselves.

But the reality is they've also got the businesses expenses of maintaining their work vehicle, their insurance, their healthcare, etc. That $50 probably only translates to $20 into usable income.

It is approximately 7.5 times less dense than air. Note that the cited density does not include the weight of the air incorporated in the structure: it does not float in air.
I'd also add that Typescript would be a very bad language choice anyway. If we're going to have a backward-incompatible change, we should do things the right way (after all, we're stuck with it forever).

Don't make a type system work around the really bad parts of JS. Instead, don't allow them in typed modules. Don't settle for an intentionally unsound (aka broken ) type system. Add an actually sound (probably hindley-milner based) type system that provides usable type info to the JIT so we can guarantee fast, safe code.
why would this matter in the slightest?
The wonderful thing about webpage design is your user don't give a f**k about color correction. Monitors nowadays are almost shipped with a default configuration of high saturation, high contrast, high color temperature. To the point that I think standard srgb 'paper white' is pointless for webpages. Because virtually nobody except designer themselves will enable it on their monitor.

Maybe some group should get consensus about modern monitor 'paper white' so at least everybody has a daily monitor in same setting no matter how good/bad his monitor is.
Have you tried AHK for Linux?

There's probably a full spectrum from "chill" to "most demanding" and it seems basically impossible to know what a place is really like until you're there for at least 1-2 years. I'm starting to realize my current org has fairly low expectations and has a company culture of "good work/life balance" where folks can prioritize their families - but they pay below industry standard.
I'm not saying the trades should be unregulated. I think OSHA is an almost unparalleled good. I've just generally thought of the benefits of unionization for skilled trades to lie in the educational and reputational benefits of the union rather than the security aspect of one. Unions for unskilled labor would work differently. My thought, at least.

I don't think they need to counterbalance? It seems like they would just turn into very expensive, very bad roller skates when the battery dies. (They may still be dangerous, as roller skates can be, but much less than something that needs power to stop it from nosediving.)
When I went to school for my Associates, I knew the graduation / hire rate of every program near my major. If you asked any professor in my building, they'd say "Go Biomed, every one of them is hired". Students should be smart enough to know the chances they get a job before they go. Ask around, everyone knows your chances to get a job based on your major, and stack that up a little bit.. I always tell kids "ask what the chances are you get hired".
