Can you comment on how drug ads are similar or different in the two countries?
Would have appreciated it at the start to be honest - but I guess it's better than nothing at all.
They also have solar panels at their batteryswap station when possible.

The problem is battery rentals, I think only NIO right now is operating battery-swapable EVs. It's easy on a scooter, but not so much on cars IMO.
You have to be more specific here.

Xi cracked down on SV-type of tech. Which isn't useful tech. It's ad and addiction tech that is a net negative to society. It makes a few people filthy rich but does nothing for the productive basis of your country.
A 50% return on a 6 hour investment? Where can I fucking sign up? That won't happen. What will happen is you will pay the max rate when charging because your new smart meter now charges you based on peak consumption (not what it was sold as) and then you'll get the minimum when you involuntarily sell back. Oh and the govt will take its 21% tax on both transactions.
None of this is relevant to my comment.
I hear they tend to have large training on Reddit, so, yeah, it has to be very left leaning.
Fair question. My answer would be... kinda.

The cash available on an ongoing basis to be re-invested or returned to investors is what you might call levered free cash flow [0], which I think is what you are referring to.

My comment about "available" cash is more like available for big one-time investments like a big acquisition, a special dividend, or something like that.

Glad to see people put those others in the list.

Too many people assumed that Microsoft, Oracle, Yahoo, and related companies weren't matching offers and were somehow "worse" to work for.

It was exactly the opposite. They were matching offers, and even poaching engineers from the other FAANGs. Yet they never got any respect.
bad idea. they take 70-90% of your venture, and do fuck all
Why isn't UT Austin allowed to block something on the grounds of cyber security?

Why does it have to be nationalist censorship?
Thanks!

That should be possible - I’ll need to try forwarding Overpass queries to a public server covering the entire world when requests are outside Aus (and make sure the traffic isn’t too high!)
Are you making a claim that the "Twitter Files" show excessive penalizing of conversatives?
Time to switch to brave I guess.
It's a little bit more complicated than that. They've held onto their legacy concerns about certain non-carbon power sources for other reasons, and many environmental groups seem convinced that there is no future where the planet is safe and our current economic system stays in place.
I could even be convinced of the latter, but I know enough to know that both of these policies are political poison pills in effect.
Plenty of environmental groups have done plenty of harm to the cause, largely from not accepting half a loaf.
The same reason we get a say in anything? We live in a republic and can vote.
Wouldn’t even necessarily need to be linked to a user account. If you could review server logs and identify that IP address x.y.z.a was using dark mode, you have a potential problem.

Even if it would count as legitimate interest (which I don’t think it would), you would still need to offer opt out, right to erasure, and an explanation of what you’re doing with the data.
Aside from that not actually being true. To the extent it is, the impact of that is far less than when Large Multi-National corporations use comparatively less money to capture the federal government.

This idea that Federal Government is opposition to rent seeking is laughably absurd given the context of the last 50+ years where ever single omnibus spending bill that is passed is littered with pork to rent seekers.

As Joe Biden says.... Come On Man....
I think the general view is it’s impossible to not hold biases, but biases that lead to harm are bad. I don’t consider myself progressive but I do believe biases that are harmful to people should not be reflected in the tools we build, in so far as we can. I don’t feel people shouldn’t be allowed to hold biases that are harmful to others, nor that they should be disenfranchised for it. But it’s not a good thing to be biased negatively, and having a bias that is positive is a good thing. The definitions of of good and bad for me are harmfulness to others. A bias that gay people should be excluded from work and social institutions is harmful to a gay person, and I’m constructing that as a negative bias due to the harm. A bias that people shouldn’t exclude gay people from work or social institutions is not harmful to the person who holds the negative bias because it doesn’t involve them and it only affirms a positive right. When constructing a tool, I think it’s probably a good thing that it support positive biases and diminish negative biases. This also doesn’t hurt the people who hold a negative bias. It just doesn’t support them in that bias.

But, it’s just computer code and thus can be customized and adapted by anyone with the technical ability, and soon we will see the antisemitism chatgpt and the XYZ bot the espouses all sorts of ideologies, some that are very harmful to many people.
Cool idea, and super interesting! Way to go on the diligence!
I'm curious how often (and how) do you follow up on these. also if you feel comfortable sharing- what other hashtags do you use? can you give examples of things you put there?
I use Niagara Launcher which is a very simple Android launcher. Then I've set up my phone though Family link with my wife as my "parent" so that I need to ask her permission when I want to install a new app, and when I want to use apps like YouTube for more than 15 minutes per day. It's kind of a dumb system but it works for me.
How is this different ultimately from a prudish 19th century culture and its ‘leaders’ determining what should and should not be photographed? Perhaps the only difference is the extent of manufactured analysis and positional statements being fed to the public.
> This is an uncharitable take. The ability to fire at-will is the reason companies in the US are able to hire and pay as high as they do.

I feel there is no rational basis for this belief, and it's mostly guided by wishful thinking to fool yourself into believing that all this penance leads to some kind of salvation.

It doesn't.

There are highly paid professionals in other countries who benefit from higher worke protection laws and even public services like working national health services and free education. Virtually all European countries ensure greater workers protection and half have a higher human development index than the US, and FANG salaries in Europe often lead to far greater disposable income. Heck, I personally know a FANG who was forced to pay overtime for oncalls in europe while US workers only get the pager app and the shaft.

Also, being subjected to abuse is not a requirement for mobility. Mobility only requires that you can quit your job and apply for other positions. There is no piece in the equation that requires abusive revolving door hiring practices.

People should shed their victim mentality and stop fooling themselves on how the path to riches is through suffering. It isn't. Basic human decency doesn't need to be thrown out of the window. That's only a requirement to screw over workers out of their rights and livelihood.
> Actually, "woke" opinions do reflect those of the general population

I think a lot probably don't. A whole lot don't if you consider the scope of the entire developed world, not just the US.

There's good support (at least in the US) for the liberal position on the last wave of fights over civil rights. Interracial marriage (this was still a tad controversial in the 90s, even, I recall it being a topic on daytime talk shows), gay marriage, that kind of thing.

No abortion restrictions even into the third trimester? Not favored by the general population (and, notably, that's not what Roe and especially not what Casey-modified-Roe protected). Various trans rights issues and slogans can only seem universally-supported in certain bubbles—sentiment is much more reserved (conservative, if you will) among the general public. I recall the polling on "defund the police" looking really unfavorable. And so on.

(Nb. I'm pretty damn "woke" myself, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em and I'm fairly sure the general population isn't solidly behind a lot of what gets labeled "woke")
There's this common thing where nerds expect the law to be written and enforced with mindless precision, like a computer.

No, it's just not meaningful. The vacuum energy density is (likely) constant. The total energy of the universe is simply not a thing.
That's right! Thanks for tracking it down...
Cobalt is becoming less and less important component of the batteries in the EV business.

It's just not necessary, and can be replaced for example by nickel (and manganese) or iron (LFP batteries).
> You'd think the experience of ChatGPT would have taught them that the average person isn't blindly worshipping the output of LLMs

They aren't wrong though. Imagine Google had released LLM based chatbot first. There'd be a lot of negative coverage when (not just if) things went wrong: biases, inaccuracy, misinformation, dangerous information. With Google, people would expect to see "correct" information, and for it to not be biased, and safe.

for example, imagine if Google's bot give the recipe to make meth [1]. Every big publisher would be talking about dangers of AI, and how Google is being irresponsible. It's not just Google, you could replace Google with Microsoft and it would still apply.

With ChatGPT, it is a beta service, so users understand it can be wrong. Turn it into a product from another company and it becomes a liability issue.

The core team is split across oracle and shopify. They are still actively interested in it, even for research purposes.
> Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism

You are right, it also encompasses this meaning.

Regardless, my point still stands.

> It’s kind of odd, it’s almost as if there is a group of right wing culture warriors that insist that anyone that doesn’t use their artificially constructed pejorative the same way that they do is part of some vast gay communist conspiracy.

I don't think it's an artificially constructed pejorative, according to Wikipedia the term seems to come from the 1930s "referring to an awareness of the social and political issues affecting African Americans."

I think it only started to be used in a negative way once all the clown world stuff came into full strength.
What’s the killer app for head units that’s being ignored by car manufacturers?
I mean, define "biased against", right?

Because some people will argue that anything that's not explicitly in full agreement with them is "biased against" them. It's a narcissistic, dishonest take, but plenty of people do take that stance nonetheless in order to try to shift all arguments into their narrow worldviews/definitions in order to "win" as many conversations as they can. Right? I mean I've met people online and off who do this from almost every part of the political spectrum.

So, do we filter those people out from consideration to begin with, or do we have to cater to those with extreme views in order to get as many "not biased against me" ratings as possible?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that trying to optimize for any single metric is a fool's errand because as soon as you do so, it will be gamed/exploited. Then you can either try diversifying your optimization data points (who gets to choose those? How could they possibly be unbiased, when they literally define the system's bias?) or you can try filtering out bad actors from the data, which is very directly an attempt to bias the system away from insincere bad actors.

And all of that's not even accounting for the lack of incentive to try to find neutrality when more biased views are more lucrative in the attention economy.
I mean this without the slightest hint of doubt, really just curious: Source?
Reducing the federal government to that scale would involve getting ride or the DOD and almost every federal agency. It is "radical" because that position is completely unacceptable to the vast majority, while parts of that plan might appeal to parts of the political spectrum, taken as a whole it is a plan thay has miniscule support. Thus, it is considered a radical view point.
I think that might have been true once but a) the futuristic/revolutionary reputation of Tesla has come down to earth through the trials of the Model 3 and the failure to deliver FSD, and b) Elon's antics, both during COVID and through 2022, appear to have put a sour taste in the mouths of people who bought Tesla's for the values they purportedly represented (sustainability, etc).

So honestly I don't believe this is the case anymore. I think, as more EV competition is entering the market from both new and established automakers, they're now just another EV that happens to have great brand recognition but an eroding brand reputation, a good charger network, average to below average quality, a very weak record on customer service, and a CEO that's just another crazy, out of touch billionaire.
The Mac Pro is a very specialized machine. Windows desktop users aren't generally buying Xeon processors.

Almost no one wants a Mac Pro. It's one of the reasons why it's often left behind by Apple. In this case, Apple still hasn't replaced the Intel CPU with an Apple Silicon one despite being more than two years into the Apple Silicon transition.

> At this point there isn't really any other hardware available, that'd give me a justifiable boost in productivity

I think the key word in there is "me". You're probably like 99.9% of people out there and there's nothing worthwhile in available hardware, but there are always people that have specialized needs.

I mean, you didn't even upgrade your hardware to something with "the best" graphics. You could have gotten an RTX 4090! Why didn't you? Well, it's probably not worth it. Why did you get a Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores instead of an EPYC 9654 with 96 cores? Well, probably because you're barely scratching the surface of those 16 Zen 4 cores. I mean, there are so many upgrades you could put into your system. Why didn't you buy 1.5TB of RAM? You probably even bought a motherboard that can't support that much RAM! ;-)

Yea, almost no one wants one of these $52,000 machines. Almost no one wants a Mac Pro. Most people don't want dual Radeon Pro Duo graphics cards - 4 GPUs! Most people don't even buy one discrete GPU today. Most people don't want a machine with a 1,400 watt power supply that can deliver 1,280 watts continuously.

I'd love to know what Apple's sales numbers are on the Mac Pro at all. It starts at $6,000 and feels like other things are a better value at that price. However, maybe you're doing serious video editing on a professional level and time is money - and with the Mac Pro you can buy all sorts of things. Though even there, it looks like the Mac Studio's M1 Ultra is doing better than the Mac Pro - even equipped with Apple Afterburner, a $2,000 card specifically meant to speed up handling ProRes video.

Again, I'd love to know Apple's sales numbers on the Mac Pro, but they were probably decent for a very tiny niche for a while when the Apple Afterburner would be a nice addition to speed up video editing (before Apple Silicon). The Afterburner card could nearly half the amount of time needed to work with ProRes video. But as I said, it's a very tiny niche - a niche we're not in.
Lets hope dumb virtue signalling doesn't get in the way much more.

This German government really demonstrated how costly and dumb virtue signalling is, when it prevents competent people from being appointed or the right plans to be executed(Nuclear Power).

So I sympathize with the idea of this in a sense. But it feels like we're so very far removed from that point that there's hardly any point in talking about it.

Also, maybe the US President and other super high level individuals are too powerful. But then if we make them much less powerful, who keeps other bad actors like Russia and China from stomping on whoever they want - ask the Ukrainians or the Uyghurs.

I guess when I look at that chart I’m actually optimistic:

- coal and oil not really growing (but there is Covid at one end and no Ukraine war effects). This is especially noteworthy for coal because china continues to increase coal power generation so the only way for it to be flat is many others decreasing

- the ‘other’ section growing at 16% per yer (doubling in less than 5 years) is basically renewables

I am sad that fossil fuels continue being burned more and I’m sad nuclear isn’t growing but the growth in renewables is encouraging.

A thing people often say when looking at per-country data is something like ‘emissions in developed countries are only decreasing because they are offloading polluting industry to developing nations which you can see are burning more’ but this doesn’t appear to be true. Studies that try to measure trade-adjusted emissions find that they aren’t massively different from the raw amounts and that the difference has stayed pretty steady for a while even as developed countries’ emissions have fallen despite growing economies.
Yeah certainly the fact they’re universally bad phones makes them less useful as a phone, and phone phones are better at being phones.

But I would also hold that phones generally suck, but that’s opinion.
I actually asked my manager to increase the frequency of my 1:1s from bi-weekly to weekly. It's never status updates/work stuff. It's more on the mental plane.

We ponder a lot on self reflection and self-improvement. There is no 'agenda'. I like to think it's more of a flow state discussion combined with a good chemistry where there is no notion of being judged. The room quickly becomes a safe place to talk about anything and everything.

Sometimes, we would talk about how things are going in my personal life. How has my sleep been. Am I mindful of the things that could be holding me back? If yes, what am I doing to unblock myself. If not, he pushes me to the right direction of thinking and I strike gold. Every time.

Soemtimes, we 'thonk': he brings up very tough questions:

- The last time you cried, was it out of emotional pain or remorse?

- If you could chose, who would be your ideal sibling?

We both answer, we both discuss.

I think we're both suckers of productivity and these 'sessions' activates my brain on a whole new level. Which is the main muscle for knowledge workers like us.

I would have these 1:1s twice a week. But I also know his calendar looks like Van Gogh's artwork.
---

Here's why I never talk about work with him:

- I am fine unblocking myself at work. If I'm dependent on another team, I talk to the team and I resolve it. I include him on a barely negligible threshold.

- I seldom complain about tasks I'm working on. Understand this: not every task is going to be exciting (how else will you differentiate between the boring ones?). It's a task. It's come to pass.

- I seldom bring up people and compatibility mismatches with my team. If I do bring up, it is to validate whether the way I resolved it could be better.

- I bring up salary. But I also know he is not my employer. We both report to the same employer.

I think the reason we work (I like to think I'm very difficult to manage..) is because I put myself into his shoes when I ask him for help/support.
Yeah, pretty much. Last I checked, they've made no major improvements to the game since I left. They've just been pumping out DLC for the last several years.

It took them a good five years to announce the sequel. Presumably because they had to scrap the entire bespoke game engine and redo everything from scratch. When I was there it was accepted as fact that the only path forward for a sequel was to start from zero and build a whole new engine because it was so bad.

I could go on for days about it, but I think the best example was the Character class. At one point it was over 27000 lines of code split across 5 separate files. Characters took up an astonishing fraction of the total cpu time, especially considering that you'd have a dozen or two characters in a world with thousands or tens of thousands of other entities.

This really underlines the entire value proposition of hotels, motels, and other professional accomodation - you have a legal entity to hold accountable in case something goes wrong, and they have a reputation to uphold that economically discourages bad or malicious service.

The idea that it's somehow undesirable to check in a a hotel as opposed to shacking up in what is effectively a random property of unknown safety standards being ran by a person of unknown mental state with virtually no oversight or accountability is plainly unwise to anyone who spends more than a passing moment considering the risks.

It's just a numbers game. Some very small fraction of people are mentally broken and may develop a psychotic fixation on a particular person. The more publicly known you are, the greater the chances that a crazy person will pick you.

You and I don't need security people because only a few hundred other humans know we exist. The odds of one of them being a murderous psychopath are vanishingly small. Millions of people knew who John Lennon, Ronald Reagan, and Rebecca Schaeffer were, so they rolled the dice enough and lost.
