This is nihilistic and disrespectful of the actual humans involved.

Resistance is a matter of proportion and intensity. A few assholes will complain about wind. A lot of people remember Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and wouldn't care about an eyesore wind farm but would worry about the effects of an accident at a nuclear plant.

You are basically saying that NIMBYs exist and therefore nobody's complaints about nuclear power are valid. Good luck with that attitude.
People interpret "sharing" differently. Someone might share an article because he thinks it would be interesting if true, and wants to see more discussion of it, and someone else might interpret this as vouching for the truth of the article. Even the same person might share something without thinking about it much, then get defensive when he's attacked for it.

What could you do short of nuclear strikes to get past a wall of lasers taking out all of your missiles and vehicles?

And it’s so cheap to fire them, how could you come up with something that could beat it before you ran out of money?

And how long before we do have MW lasers powerful enough to take out a nuclear RV? Maybe then tungsten rods from orbit finally make sense?
But you could probably just destroy the satellite from the ground at that point.

But the scientific method applies to all aspects of life, not just science-y things. When I wrote "Or... you [might] want to advance a hypothesis to see if it will stand up to public scrutiny" I was actually doing just that: advancing a hypothesis to see if it would stand up to scrutiny, specifically, the hypothesis that one reason one might engage in a discussion on the internet is to advance a hypothesis to see if it will stand up to scrutiny.

A lot of the early episodes were really stomaches turning, and that's what made the series special. It started in the very first episode with an absolutely disgusting scenario that, none the less, was nearly 100% believable in how every step of its ridiculousness went down.

It wasn't stomach turning because of the pig thing, it was stomach turning because we knew, deep down, that we were exactly who it depicted us as.
"Server" was perhaps the wrong word. "Central repo", if you like, regardless of connection method. What I meant is that "svn checkout" does not make a new repository, as "clone" does in decentralized source control systems. You must interact with the central repository (wherever it is stored, locally or over the network) to do version control work.
Is it so bizarre that people are opposed to both over- and under-?

That's basic logic and fairness.

The two extremes are almost always both wrong.
they over hired during the pandemic thinking the growth would not stop.

Cutting the workers back now before shit hits the fan makes sense, as the recession is on the horizon and everybody can see it. It's not as if they can't just rehire if the recession doesn't pan out as badly as predicted.
Yes, I know how tipped wages work. However, I've never seen servers advocate for just working under normal minimum wage laws. That's a complete non-starter for them. And their reasoning is that they make more with the tipped system.

So, no, I don't think I'll listen to people in the restaurant industry tell me why I have to pay mystery wages to the employees.

Why would people trade off deductions? I'm pretty sure that the serious proposals for IRS preparation are for them to pre-fill what they have and are open to the filer amending that or preparing their own return. We should anyway eliminate exemptions and deductions and shift the brackets to compensate.

It's also sort of silly to go on about making sure that people understand the "burden", when government should obviously be restricting itself to things that are a net benefit to society. Of course there will be disagreements about the value of a given activity or service, but the notion that government must be a burden is pretty backwards.
That wouldn’t be virtual signaling in the least. Virtual signaling is putting no effort behind your words.

Redistributing your own income is putting your money (literally) where your mouth is.
In the van-life world, where photovoltaic electronics frequently supply house power on a conventional ICE vehicle, you will occasionally see either static-deployable panels (i.e., stored aboard the vehicle in transit, but staged on the ground when camped), or fold-out panels (which remain fixed to the vehicle but deploy outward, often providing additional shading).

There's also an advantage in warm climates / seasons to a stand-off roof --- air-gap between panels and the actual surface of the vehicle) which provide effective shading and reduce cooling load --- either to permit passive cooling via fans or as an assist to an air-conditioning unit (fairly rare on vans).

There's also a pretty frequent use of fuel-based house services: space heat (e.g., Webasto heaters, by Cummins: <https://www.cummins.com/na/sales-and-service/webasto-heating...>), stovetops (often propane), and hot water, though you'll also see electric (induction cooktop, microwave or electric oven, electric hot-water, resistance strip heating in floors). Latter require a pretty beafy electrical system, generator, and/or "shore power" (connection to grid mains).

(I've looked into the van-life thing for a while. Ultimately it's expensive for the nicer rigs and/or involves a lot of sacrifices, and combines risks of a residence and vehicle. Not to say it can't work, but there are major considerations, and the postcard view often provided is not the whole story.)
Turning into a self fulfilling prophecy
Nuance exists. Facts matter. The correct answer to every question isn't a universal constant known in advance of every possible question.
You should look into how much money they make per employee.
> You can just sit back and let people be wrong. Especially when it's about your employer.

Here's a better rule: don't argue about, comment on, criticize or even defend your employer in public at all. No good can come of it. You're almost never going to convince someone otherwise and the worst case is you find yourself quoted in the New York Times as "employee of X" (yes, I've seen this happen). Your employer isn't your family. You're not invested in how they're perceived. Your relationship is transactional if they're not paying you to represent them, don't. They will pick you rname on a spreadsheet and fire you tomorrow to slightly improve their bottom line.

As for arguing with randoms you generally want to quickly identify which bucket someone falls into:

1. People who reasonably disagree; or

2. The "my feelings matter more than your facts" crowd. You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

IME you can quickly separate the two and as soon as someone is clearly in the second camp, just block them (on platforms you can) or stop responding (where you can't). No good can come of it.

Furhter engagement can actually turn someone into a "hater". They will follow you around, comment on everything you say and do and may go as far as mass reporting you. Don't let them get that invested.

We already have things like io_uring to achieve this speedup.

As usual, this benchmark is comparing against an extremely naive implementation. It even uses a non-optimizing compiler!

A fair benchmark would take advantage of all the features that native code has available - huge pages, CPU acceleration, io_uring, and, most obviously, a compiler that supports -O2.

If they did that, the native code would smoke wasm.

Then I’d imagine they should hold a more nuanced position than “the US shouldn’t meddle in other countries affairs”.
In the van-life world, heating is very frequently based on a fuel-powered heater such as the Webasto line from Cummins: <https://www.cummins.com/na/sales-and-service/webasto-heating...>.

There's also typically ventilation to reduce moisture/condensation build-up in cold climates. Even with heat-exchange air circulation, the incoming air does require additional heating.

So, yes, this is a legitimate concern.

That doesn’t change anything. The question was “do they hold debt”.

Debt has major tax benefits to it. That’s why companies who don’t really need to issue debt, do.

I don’t know why you think working the hours you’ve been hired to do is being a “Prima Donna”. And I don’t see how getting paid a large salary, having better work-life balance and being hirable are negative things.

Except i can think of many uses for this.

A self-heating board is more efficient than heating an entire enclosure. A sensitive circuit or part could use this trick to efficiently keep key componants warm on demand without an entire external heating system. And dont let Louis Rossmann about this. Inbuilt desoldering circuits underneath key componants might make at-home board repair too easy even for his tastes.
That's what I was thinking. While not recommended, I've heard of people fixing their months-long tendonitis by first acutely pissing it off enough to be unbearable and then all of a sudden it heals.
For someone who wants something less scary (Your comment and those that followed made me decide not to read it, I had enough from "I have no mouth, and I must scream"), I recently read Accelerando [0] by ~~the same author~~ the guy who runs the linked blog.

Yeah that’s insanely upcharged. Being generous a high end ER CT scanner is in the $200,000 to $300,000 range. Contrast is a few bucks. Technologist + porter are generously paid $100 combined + whatever you want to give for overhead, noting a lot of these employees are officially “part time” to save on benefits.

Given that an average ER scanner does something like 80 studies a day, sounds like they’re depreciating over a week…
in 7th grade technology class my lab partner and I found that if you situate yourself behind the ski lift and press up as to remain behind it, it increases your score by large amounts. I don't know how long it was until that middle school got new computers but I can guarantee that we held the high scores on every computer in that classroom until they did. I'd like to hope that somebody picked up one of those computers at a public auction, loaded up ski free out of boredom, and was absolutely blown away at the high score they would never ever come close to beating

Always the benefit of hindsight.

I make it 5x 2-4-1 splits since 1993, so 100 shares then would be worth 3200 shares today, and I think were about $80 each at the time.

700 hours of average paid work ($11/hr) back in 1993 would have bought you 100 Microsoft Shares, which today would be worth $750k, or $1,000 an hour.

On the other hand you could have bought 700 hours worth of Blockbuster shares.

What he means is that while the models tags code as code, for the model itself this is just relationship between tokens,like the code open and close tags,same as parenthesis, commas, uppercase or verbs and conjunctions...

What you say is achievable only if another system external to the model takes some tagged model output, makes computations or lookups, and feeds the results back to the model in the form of text input.

Then it's game on for the model to trigger some form of code execution through this external system and escape the jail...

Building out enough storage will be a huge task.

We can't use much of it yet because we haven't the renewable generating capacity to charge it from. (Charging it from fossil fuels would be beyond stupid.) Several varieties are getting cheaper very fast, and new, cheaper ones are being invented, so when the time comes it will cost a lot less. Likewise, carbon capture: building that out now would be stupid if it diverted money that could be spent building renewables that displace carbon emission.

It is also why building nukes is stupid: they displace way less carbon emissions, per dollar, than renewables, and first spend a decade displacing none at all. For the price of the coal burned waiting for the nuke to come on line, you could build that much solar, never mind what you are wasting on building the nuke, and it would start displacing carbon emissions almost immediately.

Batteries and pumped hydro are very far from the only practical storage media. But the assertion you read that pumped hydro does not scale is deliberately deceptive.
No. But it would if bio-terrorists did it, and we were left with the result.

While the Tax Compliance scam is something that needs to be addressed, I am also not a fan of completely automated and "easy" taxation. I think government taking our money should be painful, and in your face.

I am not even a fan of automated payroll deduction for this reason, people should experience having the money removed from them every month, week, what ever just like any other bill they have to pay.

This psychologically is a check on government overspending as if people were paying 25+% of their income, as a bill payment every month to their government they would be more prone to ask why, instead of what many do today which is just look at their net income and treat the refund as a savings plan or even worse the government "giving" them money

We have made it entirely tooooooo easy for governments to take money from us
It’s not really about whether there is a recession happening/coming.

Yeah for sure, I think this is true for a lot of people, so perhaps "avoid" is the wrong word.

I did once calculate how many flu shots you'd have to get to save one human life based on heuristics and data on estimated length of infection chains and R0 for flu. I can't quite remember, but it's something like 100-people-years per life saved. So 10 people for 10 years might save a life by not infecting someone vulnerable. Very approximate.
