That's not really a thing, despite what David Graeber [1] would have you think.

The reality is that business owners always want to make as much profit as possible, so they're never going to intentionally or knowingly pay labor for something that is useless, money that would otherwise go straight into their pocket. Sure there are some inefficiencies in the chain and a subset of managers trying to expand headcount unnecessarily because of office politics, but owners and board members are incentivized to eliminate that as much as possible because, you know, profit.

The only plausible spots for "bullshit jobs" are in government and in endowment-funded academia, where for various political reasons, effective oversight of costs is missing in certain scenarios. Usually that's a temporary phenomenon, as eventually a "nosy" journalist (or whistleblower) reveals a bunch of money is being wasted, and political pressure builds to reform that and stop wasting taxpayers' or donors' money.

The main reason is stiffness—off the top of my head, it’s roughly a quarter as stiff as typical steel, so it needs significant engineering and often much more reinforcement to keep the concrete within allowable deformation limits. Basalt and carbon fiber are more promising replacements, but are significantly more expensive.

> a modern version of this talk would have a much different context

Everything would be in a different context, yes. But how would the content be different?
indeed that was a major problem i had the last time i tried any visual arts :) i've added the book to my list, it's something i have wanted to learn, or unlearn i guess, for quite a long time!

on one hand, i feel a strong aversion to anybody trying to prescribe a better linguistic framework with the goal of solving political discourse. others in this thread have noted that this essay has become a guideline for political writing. as i think we have seen with media recently, news media was perfectly comfortable to eschew the lofty diction of academia for the down-to-earth writing of the 'middle class.' if you skip past CNN and Fox, consent will just as easily be manufactured with 30 second viral videos on TikTok.

on the other hand, i do really really care about politics and communication. i don't want to throw out all language just because those moments where truly deep and meaningful communication are indeed incredibly rare. i'm on a big critical theory kick lately and it leaves me pretty depressed... but also i think it's too accurate to ignore. i guess i'm just tired of the language games and the hope for an event which will only reproduce the same social relations. i want to believe! :)

anyway, you've left me with lots to think about, and i appreciate your explanations! i will look more into Wittgenstein, my path through these thinkers has been a little backwards and random since it's not through academia.

To me it has as much value as some study saying people who eat a servings of strawberries a week live longer after studying a handful of participants or something.

It's one data point, one among many. It won't significantly change my beliefs about anything, unless other studies start confirming its findings.
I would also add that some of his arguments are just wrong?

> you probably shouldn't be doing isolation exercises unless you don't mind risking injury and joint inflammation in the long-term

I have never heard of anyone getting injured from dumbbell curls or lateral raises, but everyone I know has tweaked something from a momentary lapse of form in compound movements. Turns out moving 400lb+ pounds close to your limit regularly isn't that safe.

> No one serious uses a "leg press" - another injury-prone nightmare

I know both serious powerlifters and "serious" (non competitive) bodybuilders that use leg press as an accessory on leg days. Stability provided by machines just let you lift more weight.
If you really understand digital sampling, there's actually quite a lot wrong in that video.

The "16-bit is enough" line is absolutely wrong, because quantisation noise has a very uneven spectrum which is nothing like white noise. It has peaks at certain subdivisions of the sample rate which are quite a way above inaudibility. Which is why dither was invented - to smooth out those peaks.

The "44.1kHz is enough" line is also wrong because there's no such thing as a perfect reconstruction filter. (It's mathematically impossible to build a perfect brick wall filter that works in real time.) Real reconstruction filters have trade-offs and the distortions always become more audible and obvious around Nyquist. They're less obvious at higher sample rates.

There are also inter-sample peaks which can clip in the reconstruction filter and which are easier to avoid at higher sample rates.

Digital also suffers from clock jitter. Early converters were just plain nasty, but these days jitter is barely a problem on cheap converters and not audible at all on pro-grade hardware.

None of this is to suggest that digital sampling is stepped and analog sampling is smooth. That's just nonsense and always has been.

I mostly ended up and recommend Axis for IP surveillance, it has nice MQTT integrations and recessed mount options (https://www.axis.com/products/axis-t94s01l-recessed-mount) but almost anything which can do RTSP will work with either a COTS NVR, or something like Frigate (https://frigate.video).

Another thing to read up on and use when shopping for IP surveillance is ONVIF and the various profiles offered!

Down ~20% from peak. That is not a country drowning in cheap energy, that is a coming under a lot of pressure. Not a time to be going "eh, long term trends take a while to kick in". The long term trends have been around for a while, we're well in to the part where we start reaching tipping points and step changes.

I've used both repeatedly, and I will never use an ORM again. It's never gone well. Conversely, direct SQL read/write works great for a variety of applications if you do it right. No complaints about that. Pretty convinced the only appeal of ORMs is for people who want OOP everywhere or just don't want to learn SQL, but it's worth learning SQL and the basics of a normalized DB schema.

Sometimes it's supposed to be about abstracting away the DBMS. But the interface between your code and the DBMS is usually very "wide," plus you might be working around performance concerns. You can try to abstract it away with an ORM, but the abstraction will be just as wide, and now you have another layer introducing limitations and performance issues. So it seems to go against basic software design, but you really have to accept that your backend code is going to be married to your DBMS. It's either that or marry the ORM.

Forgive the title, but I also agree with the points here: https://blog.codinghorror.com/object-relational-mapping-is-t...

And if your ORM isn't a super well-supported thing, good luck. When I started my new job years ago, they said they were starting to use a custom DB/ORM-as-a-service thing maintained by a partner team. That team had great engineers, but it was simply too big a project for them to essentially build a DBMS on top of a DBMS, so it was a mess. I tried to act like this was ok until one day I showed a skip-manager some unfixable race conditions that broke our whole application. Our team got new devs who also complained about it. It also happened to not comply with some unrelated department mandate, which gave me the justification to take the reigns on our team bailing us out of that. Took a full codebase rewrite where I just gave them a regular SQL database. I'd say it cost us an entire year of development in the end.

Ninjatracing – Convert .ninja_log files to Chrome's about:tracing format
In the last few years I came to understand that the main difference between "hoarding" and "collecting" is "having stories attached" (though my context for that was retrocomputing hardware in particular.) Just in the last week I went through about 300 tabs and either discarded them or put them in logseq, with notes about why I care (or at least grouped with others, so I can go back to a topic and find them specifically. chrome tab-groups had not been helpful for this.) It took a bit to realize that I was applying the same principle...

Do you have any experience with bonsai? A couple of years ago my wife and I had to have a much loved 50' tall walnut (Juglans - yes Jupiter's knobend) felled in our garden. During its life it had some sort of swing attached and some other nasties. In the end it looks like it got damp on the roots and a bit bored. Honey fungus everywhere.

I do have snags with cruelty and bonsai is not cruel.

If you think bonsai is abusive, then please describe it.

> Find a way to speed run a degree. It'll be worth it.

Yeah there are many options. One thing you can do if you have any other advanced qualification and work experience is directly enroll in an online master's program. Some universities allow it. Some will take passing certain exams at the same level as bachelor but those exams do not require you to spend 4 years specifically. You can take them anytime depending on knowledge.

This way, you can speed run through an advanced degree in 2 years remotely while working full time. OMSCS has good reputation and there are other solid programs.

At last, you could also do part time university targetted at adults which provide more leeway in attendance or group activities.
In that case, I'd need ZFS to provide a way to disable ARC: double caching isn't acceptable to me.
Blackmail is a wonderful thing if you know how to use it.

It's good to have some disposable pawns to do some dirty work. Even better if they can't be connected to you.
> Professor Nosaka recommends using two hands to help with the concentric (lifting weight) phase, before using one arm for the eccentric phase (lowering weight)

Technically, that's not doing 'half as many reps', as the article claimed, it'll take you exactly the same amount of reps. If you care about minimizing time rather than reps, that's even going to take you (roughly) twice as long compared to using two dumbbells at once.

I get that you implying that I would feel safer because I'm less likely to be sexually assaulted and that I have a greater chance to defend myself. However, that doesn't prevent me from criticizing other's feelings. It's like a someone who is racist saying "well you don't live with them so you don't understand"

‘Consciousness’ in Robots Was Once Taboo. Not Anymore
I have a similar issue with watching TV and movies and any form of media consumption. I stopped rewatching stuff. (for the most part) And now when I save stuff for later, I ask myself, "Is this something that I find truly compelling?" And if the answer is no, I don't save it. I appreciate that I could have liked it and allow the possibility that I might run into it later and in that moment, consume it, but I don't clog up my already sizable JustWatch list with more stuff.

I don't know how this isn't outwardly obvious. When you are looking at the road, you rely on your sense of touch and physical buttons provide so much more feedback here than a touchscreen.

I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable and I love going on tangents when setting up projects. I love tinkering and learning.

There is no situation in which I'd want to do all of the above work for every single repository I setup.

I have hundreds of repositories that I own on GitHub for things like school assignments and personal projects. If I start a weekend project as you describe then the first 4 hours are going to be setting my repository up.

Nobody wants to do this. Just because something is difficult or time consuming doesn't mean that it is good or useful. Doing this once would be a fun learning experience. Doing it more than once is a useless chore.

My guess is that they already have the front-facing camera so someone suggested they can cut costs by removing the IR sensor and "just write some AI" for it. Likewise the stalk is a cost saving.

They also removed the ultrasonic parking sensors from October to use the cameras for it to save cost. Good luck for all who happen to back into stuff at night or into glass windows or something..
If consciousness is a computation (and I think it is), and if you fork() that computation (as the article imagines as its core thought experiment), you end up with two conscious entities. I don't see the philosophical difficulty.

I'd love for car companies to actually respond to this and the frustration that e.g. Tesla owners express about touchscreens to do everything.

I don't mind the infotainment being touchscreen, but climate control and driving operations (Tesla Yoke!!) should have a physical feedback (haptic/etc) loop - all of which is solved problem using physical controls. It's not like they're going to suddenly add a new turn direction so need to make that part dynamic.

I'm also at Meta and worked at two non-FAANG fortune 500s before this (5 YOE total). The performance anxiety at the two previous companies was nowhere close. Performance reviews were done mostly by managers and the stakes were much lower. Best case scenario, you get maybe a 10% raise. PIP was unlikely unless you're just grossly incompetent or not trying.
We are already seeing something similar in the western animation industry vs the anime industry.

Given the alternative of cheaper, semiautomated 2d animation, anime studios prefer handcrafting every single frame, instead, because some people really like drawing, and a large amount of people also likes watching handcrafted, high-quality animation with wonderful stories and visuals.
Yeah, well.

Here's a concept: Every single researcher who wants to conduct these kinds of experiments needs to, as a prerequisite, read Starting Strength [0] and then go to a certified gym for a year or more before even remotely being able to say anything useful about the subject.

Yes, sure, Starting Strength isn't perfect. I am not presenting it as the sum of all knowledge and the one-and-only true anything. However, there is a vast difference between someone who think they understand strength training and someone who reads this book and actually does it (under trained supervision) for as little as a year.

Someone mentioned dumbbell exercises being harmful and unnecessary. Absolutely agreed. The isolation exercises and machines are dangerous gimmicks for almost everyone going to the gym. There are people for whom they might have value. For the average person who wants to get fit and strong, these exercises and machines are a horrible idea.

My own story: I thought I knew how to lift. I was frustrated because I was not able to make progress. Someone at work introduced me to Starting Strength. I read the book and found a local certified trainer. The difference was like night and day.

I remember the first time I went back to a regular gym after about a year on Starting Strength. I had not touched a dumbbell in probably two years, if not more. Not once. I decided to see what I could do. Long story short, I got all the way up to the 120 lb dumbbells and could not go further 'cause that's the heaviest they had. Anyone looking at me would not, in a million years, have guessed I could go pick-up two 120 lb dumbbells and workout using them. I had guys coming to ask "WTF?", because they were struggling with weights less than half that much.

This goes with my favorite quote: "A man holding a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way" - Mark Twain. These researchers need a cat to hold before they think they know what they are talking about.

This seems obvious to me, but it's still useful to have such research performed because there's a lot of gadgetphiles out there who can't or won't think clearly about it.

I can feel physical buttons without taking my eyes off the road. With a touch screen if I want to do the same, I'm forced to reference my fingers off the bezel of the screen, if my hand can even span it, hoping the button is the same place it was before and hoping the software running the display is even in the right mode so the button is there at all. It's a no brainer that physical buttons are easier to use.
