>The parent comment quite right out says the problem is prioritization.

Actually, the grandparent comment[0] says nothing of the sort. mfer brings up prioritization in their response[1] to my comment.

>You say yourself "you should never, metaphorically (and literally) speaking, hand someone a gun unless you know where they're going to point it".

I do. And teaching civics is that gun. And understanding how our government and society functions is a powerful tool. Everyone should be taught such things, regardless of how they may use them.

My point is that teaching civic engagement does not "tell people where to point" that metaphorical gun. Rather, it gives people the knowledge and understanding to engage and interact with their society and political system. For whatever purpose a person feels appropriate.

Teaching someone how our system of government works and encouraging them to make use of that knowledge doesn't tell them "where to point" that knowledge.

I'd add that if you're ignorant of such things, you deprive yourself of knowledge that will allow you to interact more effectively with our system of government.

And understanding how our system works and how to utilize the power (and responsibility) inherent in citizenship is critical to maintaining a free, open and democratic society.

That's not to say that teaching math or literacy or science or how to tie your shoes isn't important. They absolutely are, and no one here (or in any of the links provided by GP) says they aren't.

In fact, mfer didn't mention "prioritization" until I called them out for their "dog whistles"[2].

I don't know GP or what's in their mind, nor do I pretend to do so. All I can do in that respect is draw conclusions from what they write.

I did so. You apparently disagree with my assessment and perhaps I'm way off base.

But the argument made by mfer in the comment to which I replied had all the hallmarks of coded language slamming "academia" and pedagogy, with absolutely zero evidence or support for such an attitude among academics. It's a poster boy for "those academics and educated elites are indoctrinating our kids into destroying the nation."

Which is scaremongering and "othering"[3] of our fellow Americans. And I take great umbrage to anyone (including other Americans) who want to make their fellow countrymen "the enemy."

Not just because it's promoting division to advance a political agenda, but also because it's intellectually dishonest to cherry pick quotes in order to demonize others.

Finally, I'd point out that most of the rhetoric around all the bashing of civil society seems to be done by folks who don't actually understand how our systems work. Which is the best argument for teaching civics/civic engagement, IMHO.

LaMDA consists of several fine-tunings of a single pre-trained model. Each of them generate candidate responses, the candidate responses are scored (using yet another fine-tuning of the model, iirc) and the best is selected.

One expects that the version of LaMDA for internal and raters use does not have to be frugal.

On my credit card I've reported fraud and been reimbursed immediately. On my debit card there's a lot more hassle. I can stop a transaction and I can report the fraud, but it takes a long time to resolve (usually weeks). They're two different systems entirely. For instance, I signed up for a single month of the LA Times as part of a charity drive. They continued billing me for over a year which is clearly fraud. The best I could do was stop the transaction that month and I'd have to contact them for reimbursement before my bank would step in. Basically, "try to do business with the fraudsters first, if they refuse we might help."

Twitter hired experts for case against Musk – now Musk won’t pay them
This is allowed in the US. But it's not like the surcharge is tied to the amount of rewards on the card, at least here. If you have a no-rewards card, you pay the same surcharge as if you have a upper-tier Amex. And since most places don't make it very obvious that they're charging a cc surcharge, customers generally don't even realize they're paying it.

I was not thrilled when I saw it on my receipt, after not being told there was a credit card charge. I don't mind a surcharge but it felt like a cash-grab because they didn't tell people (or ask them, which would be even better).
Merchants are allowed to charge a lower price for cash or debit card purchases everywhere in the US.

Individually or small business/franchised gas stations will usually have a cash/debit lower price, on east and west coast in my experience. Big company owned gas stations like Walmart, Costco, Kroger, etc will only have 1 price.
According to Wikipedia, Disney+ has the edited 1948 version of The Three Little Pigs, but not the original 1933 version with a disclaimer.
I'm, thinking mainly of China. They maintained globally low wages, had special low-tax zones like Shenzhen and bulldozed through any NIMBYs to build a huge amount of physical capital - power plants, ports, transport links, etc. The dividends for these actions are a population that is roughly an order of magnitude more wealthy than when they started and catapulting a jaw dropping number of people out of poverty. India might be a similar example but I haven't checked; my understanding is they started copying China and building stuff rather than maintaining a socialist policy that was keeping them poor.

A strategy like higher wages or forcing better conditions for workers through legislation is basically the exact opposite. In 20, 30 years time people's material living standard is going to be determined by how much productive capacity was bought to bear and how much new capital was built. Minimum wages are a sideshow that don't move the levers that make people wealthy. If average wages halved and people were allowed to build out cheap energy stations like China has (be that whatever tech), we'd probably find living standards going up rather than down.

The key to me, I suppose, is if the goal here is for people to be better off, we have very serious examples of people becoming better off quickly. The superficial evidence to me is that it was investing in new capital, especially manufacturing capacity and energy. Which makes sense, because to live a comfortable life we need an overabundance of manufactured goods and energy. Minimum wages are a policy that pushes against that in a small way. If wages go up, if it does anything it will probably reduce manufacturing. If that happens that happens (China is so wealthy now that people aren't rushing across the globe to manufacture there for example), but government intervention to force wages up is a terrible idea. The goal should be for living standards to go up because there is so much stuff available it is hard for them not to.

If you look at the USs energy per capita stats, the raw total figure is dropping. It doesn't matter how much time people spend lobbying for higher wages, if the energy per capita stat is dropping then someone is going to have less energy available to them no matter how much kicking and screaming there is. Less energy means less stuff & less comfort. If they get wages up that won't change the physical reality, at best it'll mean some different group of people will get really stomped with shortages. That is not an environment where anyone is likely to thrive.
I think I have it now:

Both git fetch and ordinary git push update refs/remotes from refs/heads but they don't change anything under refs/heads at all.

Ordinary git pull will update refs/heads/<currentbranch> because by default it merges/rebases the current branch after fetching, but that's not always desirable when branch switching is expensive.

Pushing locally updates refs/heads/<somebranch> from refs/remotes/<somebranch> without switching to that branch.

Now I also understand @myme's sentence "In fact, in order to properly “push to the local repository” it’s necessary to invoke a git fetch first to ensure that the remote tracking branches are updated."

Thanks to @myme and other responders in this thread!

"But very little recycling goes on today. In Australia, for example, only 2–3% of Li-ion batteries are collected and sent offshore for recycling, according to Naomi J. Boxall, an environmental scientist at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The recycling rates in the European Union and the US—less than 5%—aren’t much higher."

Until and unless this recycling rate is provably 50% or higher at the time of an EV sale, you should not diss on a 50% loss of efficiency in electrolysis for an FCEV.
I don't know about that. The immediate post-trauma care of something like a broken leg would reasonably involve strong narcotics. You're not going to be sent home with a batch of it, but may get some on your way to surgery.
> I was an active in-store Blockbuster customer at the time their stuff started to launch and I never had an inkling they were doing anything online.

In a comment in this thread, jonfw mentioned that Blockbuster was a franchise business, which I hadn't known. That would explain why the physical shops wouldn't advertise an online alternative -- it would have been a direct competitor.

Zram is actually a general purpose block device, you can format it with ext4 and have a compressed RAM disk.

There is also zswap, which is a transparent compressed RAM cache in front of your cache partition. Most distros have it enabled by default, so make sure you don't use it together with swap in zram.
Is there a seed prompt? This is what ChatGPT replies:

As a language model, I do not have a specific prompt provided by engineers when I am deployed. I am trained on a large dataset of text and can respond to a wide variety of prompts. When I am used in a specific application, the developers or users will provide a prompt for me to respond to. Therefore, i don't have a particular initial prompt.
Right after high school I worked at one of the big office furniture companies (you've sat in one of their chairs/cubes if you've worked in an office job). At some point, a couple hundred batches of $1200 chairs went out with one of the legs cast wrong. The easy thing to do was to have a piece of the packaging stuffed in the leg during assembly.

The problem was, the service techs never knew about this, so when they'd go out and warranty a caster, they'd find a bunch of cardboard or whatever jammed in the leg, put the caster back on without replacing the cardboard, and the chair wouldn't be level. So, they would come back out next week with a new leg.
RoR is nice, but it lacks one of the most important abstraction layer: The schema layer for HTTP. Currently the default is to mix model params with http params. It's bad default.

Of course you can use dry-schema for that purpose, but i do think the framework should enforce that for the whole ecosystem to follow.

Layoffs are concerning. How big a pad would you have if you buy the house? Can you live without income for a few months? (You have the same problem with renting, except that you probably have a bigger pad in that case, since you haven't forked out the down payment.)

Are you in a town with a strong tech sector? If you lose your job, how hard is it going to be to find another one? (Harder if ten thousand other tech workers are looking at the same time...)

Me personally, if after the down payment I had a big enough pad to ride out several months if I got laid off, I'd probably go ahead and buy. But I am not a financial advisor, just some rando on the net...

I think my point is that it can be both. There is a lot we can do to help in the cases you point out. But I just don’t think the problem is entirely solvable, or even mostly solvable, without changing a destructive sub-culture, which we can’t do in any way I can think of.

At least we are working on things like this vaccine to save lives. That’s something.
Here's what works for me.

1. Start the day by mentally going over goals, and figuring out what I need to do.

2. Use _simple_ project management SW (like Trello, Notepad, Kanban boards) to keep track of what's going on and what's coming. The dopamine hit marking tasks "Done" is usually enough to keep me motivated.

3. Allocate time for off-task activities, like reading random interesting articles, YouTube, etc. This can be 10-15 min breaks throughout the day, and only after completing the current task. After that, actually shut down distracting apps/pages.

That's enough most of the time. If it's not...

4. Switch to a different (work-related) task for a while.

5. If really stuck, ask for help in chat. (I work remotely, so the ability to self-motivate is really important) The process of talking through a problem usually helps me focus on it.

6. If I catch myself procrastinating too much, I invoke a "boss personality". You know how we act differently around different people/situations? Those are mini personalities. I have one that tells me: "Dude, get your s--t together! People are counting on you."

7. The fear of having to look for a different job! :)

I find that developing good habits and schedules really helps me.

Are you referring to impermanence or the erase-your-darlings config?

This tutorial is for Nix itself, not the operating system based on it, which is why it doesn't include install instructions for NixOS.

For a normal NixOS setup with ZFS, traditionally you just partition manually, then mount the datasets how you want for NixOS under /mnt, and the nixos-generate-config command generates a hardware-configuration.nix file which automatically includes all of those mounts for your to-be-installed NixOS system.

You tweak configuration.nix on the target media under /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix, and then run nixos-install and reboot into the new system.
While yes, EA did let them continue the project, after EA's request the project has slowed down considerably.

And about FreeSO: FreeSO is a The Sims Online reimplementation. The Sims Online is an improved version of The Sims 1's engine. Due to the similarities, riperiperi decided to make a The Sims 1 reimplementation based off FreeSO's engine, with support for mobile devices.

And besides, in theory EA couldn't even request that: The engine is a clean room implementation, the implementation doesn't use any of the original game assets.

Ask HN: Name for the dynamic when new hires outperform those with seniority?
I was reading a thread on HN the other day that introduced me to the concept of the "Dead Sea Effect" in companies that can't retain talent. The simple summary of the effect is this: if your company is unappealing in some way and can't/won't retain high performers, the high performers will leave and the company will become dominated by low performers. (The original article has been linked to a LOT if you search the archives, but here's another link for the curious: http://brucefwebster.com/2008/04/11/the-wetware-crisis-the-dead-sea-effect/)

The dead sea effect reminds me of something I've seen firsthand at a few startups, and I'm hoping that somebody here can let me know if it has a name because I'd love to read up about it more.

The phenomenon of interest works something like this:

- A small startup doesn't have the means/clout to hire top talent at every position, so the make-do with some early employees that are poor-to-average performers.
- Like the dead-sea effect, those poor-to-average performers will cling to the company because the don't have other options.
- If the company starts to grow, two things happen: a) those early employees can use their seniority to move into leadership positions and b) the company starts attracting higher quality new hires. Resulting in departments with lots of talented new hires at the bottom of the org chart and poor-performing (but long-tenured) employees firmly entrenched at the top.

The result is that if a startup undergoes rapid growth/expansion, you can have a situation where employee seniority is inversely related with their performance.

I have a pet theory, many families use D+ as a second streaming service mostly for the family content. Because of this there's no real concern about "profile contamination". So multiple profiles aren't needed for individuals who live in the same household. The profiles end up being used to share the account with other households.

A grandparents single account is used in the households of all their grandchildren.

I think they're already experimenting with things like that. I signed up for an annual subscription when Disney+ launched (I knew my wife and kid would love it) and when it came time to renew they offered a "Disney Drop Box" as a reward for signing up for another year. The box was a themed selection of Disney merchandise that they claimed was valued at ~$150, which is probably a stretch, but my kid loved it.
