Yes. You know where you should be.

I'm very adaptive and can do both(to a degree), and a lot of people are like you, me and city dwelling socialites(that pay $5000 for a shoebox apartment in the middle of Manhattan).

The issue arises, is when people with your mindset also want to be close to big social life. Then they may, and NIMBYs do, stifle natural city growth. << That is the problem here

I'm 100% sure that there is a way to negotiate better outcomes for everyone.
I'm surprised at how little attention has been given to elicit.org that is already trained on the scientific literature, and not limited to just the biomedical ditto:

Oh, and it provides real references! (also, summaries both of the top papers answering your question, as well as each of the top papers individually, etc etc)
Quoting myself [1]

Yes. WD did a rebranding exercise to try and get rid of HGST and UltraStar, not only did the retail channel and wholesale channel backfire, a certain large enterprise customer insist on the same HGST and UltraStar HDD, same model number, basically same everything. While HD could certainly ignore retail and wholesale, they cant ignore enterprise. So you still see UltraStar, and in many cases Wholesale are still calling them HGST.

It's not about cutting corners. It's about time to effect change. It's about cross device and platform support. It's about it being easier to find developers familiar with the browser stack then native app developer.

“On average, state and local governments collected $1,617 per capita in property taxes nationwide in FY 2017”

California property taxes for $1620 per capita, which is average. How does this translate to “so little tax from property”?
We don't, but a society that doesn't know about radiation or even elementary particles may.

The village doctor in the 1500s diagnosing radiation sickness would be even more of a quack than the one that doesn't apply enough leeches.
Having been in it for two decades, I vehemently disagree.

If any one single thing has been responsible for my success (contractor, six-fig monthly) it's not that the hill just knows me so well. It's that I know the problems institutions and large corporations face, I know how a lot of them think and how they try to solve them, and crucially: I know how to *actually* solve those problems and get paid.

Unless you are meaning within the universities themselves? Then sure. That's not really what I meant though. The vast majority of students want to graduate and leave to industry somewhere.
People love to cite the fallacy because it’s one that’s used a lot.

Sure, momentum builds. Sometimes. But the fallacy is proclaiming with 100% certainty both that the momentum will build, and the specific way it’s going to roll.

We don’t know the future. We can’t claim with certainty that something will happen as a result of another action. Claiming anything otherwise is falling right into the fallacy.
>but ... it's the explanations that are important.

Often, yes! But you can also sometimes mechanically detect when what you're claiming might no longer be true, even if you can't assert the full content. E.g. "X does Y when you Z, so you should QWERTY periodically" -> check X,Y,Z in a slightly relevant way. Maybe have an example QWERTY call that does nothing but compile.

If a check like that fails, it means something has changed, which is an ideal time to check that documentation again. If it's not relevant, just fix the test. If it is, it shows why these systems are valuable.

(Yes, it's a change-detector test, which everyone hates for good reasons. They work great for things that are important but can't be sufficiently tested though, because the alternative is no automation at all)

Plus, the content that's truly hardest to check this way (high level conceptual docs, etc) is also generally the least likely to change in a meaningful way.
How do traffic tickets help the poor? They are more useful for punishing the poor significantly while being fairly inconsequential to the rich. They don't scale to your income level.
The way Matt Levine explains it is that something bad happens, but investor communications implies that it doesn’t happen. So, for example, the company has publicly disclosed that it has a policy against sexual harassment, but sexual harassment happened, so having a policy is seen as lying to investors that everything is okay.

So, this isn’t about committing securities fraud, it’s about writing something that shows that the company knows that something bad is going on. It’s about evidence.

Also it is very common and easy for people to speculate wildly about what might be going on, to make jokes, and to use legal terms they don’t really understand. This is Hacker News; you know this. In court, such nonsense may make it look like you actually knew something.
> and the burden of using it in a socially acceptable way rests with the user.

Or, you know, legislation. I'm kind of sick of everything being offloaded as a responsibility of the end-user as an excuse to externalize costs.

Plus, in this case it's not even like VHS or a photocopier, it's more like the printing press or the Jacquard loom: those with capital to invest in it benefit the most, at the expense of individuals being exploited.
People don't invest a lot in android apps because android users don't pay money for things at the same rate that iOS users do.
I actually love refactoring.

I really like to keep my code "elegant" and so I tend to constantly refactor it (which also makes a typical refactoring step small, and thus not a chore).

At work it's sometimes a hindrance: I tend to overdo the clean-up stuff; for me it's hard to resist a temptation to have even simple throw-away code clean and maintainable, and it is difficult for me to cut corners when working on something urgent. Of course sometimes throw-away code is not thrown away and is maintained for years and years, and cutting corners accumulates code debt (which you later on pay with interest), but overall I tend to be slow with small projects, although reasonably fast (if you include debugging time) with large ones.

But when working on a personal project, and can tidy the code up to my heart content! It actually helps to keep up my enthusiasm, not the other way around.

I guess different people have different preferences and predilections :-)
On extinction this [1] is an extremely informative article on how estimations are made, and why they vary in such extreme ways. Observed extinctions are many orders of magnitude less than 6 per hour. The article (2015) references a total of about 800 observed extinctions in 400 years. And some number of those extinctions were not actually extinctions.

So where do the big numbers come from? Obviously we don't know about every animal in existence, so it's safe to say if we have observed 800 extinctions, then many more than that have actually happened. But how many more? And there is no good answer. The most extreme numbers come from taking a sample of one thing you know (e.g. land snails), looking at the extinction ratio there of known_extinct:known_nonextinct land snails, and then extrapolating that to an estimate of the entire number of species on the entire planet. And you end up with a really big number.

Of course if your estimate of species counts is off, if somehow land snails aren't a representative sample of all species, or any other countless factors turn up to be off - then you have problems, easily on the order of many magnitudes. You end up trying to solve a problem with no idea if you're having any effect at all. In the best case scenario, everything works - and you notice no change since the species you are affecting are almost entirely ones we don't even know exist. In the worst case scenario, we've turned into Don Quixote.

>rather than into doing groundbreaking innovative research.

We probably should first acknowledge that the vast majority of research is incremental and not groundbreaking.

>not many people seem to end up making money doing something they really care about

Depending on your interest, this may be a case of expectation management. We should expect that the idea that one can eat your cake and have it too is a rare case. If it's wildly interesting, chances are lots of people are also interested and the competition drives down wages. If it's truly groundbreaking, there may not be a viable market for it so it likewise wouldn't have high wages (as wages tend to be commensurate with the differential contribution to the economy). If you are lucky to work in a field you love and are such an outlier technically that you can command high wages, you must by definition be a low probability case. So most people are left trying to find the balance of making money and doing something they are truly passionate about unless you happen to be passionate about something valuable that most people dislike.
> Oh come on. I'm excited about new technologies and I think that image generation can be a net positive for the society, but can we not do that?

What, summarize the submission? This is straight quoted from the link.

> The point is that basically all Stable Diffusion / DALL-E / MidJourney output is some shade of this

Yes, and that point is mistaken, or so generic as to be worthless. The network memorizes art for the same reason humans memorize art: because there's some art pieces we see so often that we can recall them easily.

Ask an artist to duplicate Starry Night or Scream from memory, you'll probably get at least a passable imitation. The more capable the artist, the more faithful it will be.

We know that SD can be made to plagiarize, given repeated training on a specific image. (This is just to say that a neural network can learn to regurgitate a sample, a capability that was not ever in question.) This is a far cry from the assertions that its art is generally plagiarized.

Who is "we" in that sentence? The human species? Some groups are already trying to prevent further extinctions. This group, composed of different people, wants to try to bring back extinct species. "We" aren't a single group with the same leadership and goals, but a bunch of different groups with different members and goals.

How is this not on YouTube?

Instead of the hood button, I think everyone should just carry one of those little windshield shattering hammers on their keychains. It'd save on red buttons, and improve survivability of water-related automobile accidents.
but I see this worse:

individual humans vs the collective groups which we come together to form;

like employees vs their own company

humans vs corporations but corporations are made (in part) from humans.

heck, it's like we're having some kind of an autoimmune reaction: the cells in a single individual human fighting against the individual human.

...but hey, for most of my life people chose to say I'm crazy and ignore what I say.
Saying that in-person work is more productive is all very well, but this discussion is about remote work being bad for the economy because people aren't buying lunch, companies aren't leasing offices, etc., which is just another instance of the broken window fallacy.
> Homo Sapiens have been on Earth in their current form for 200,000 years, and for 95% of that time (until agriculture emerged 10,000 years ago), they were primarily hunters, meaning they ate meat primarily.

Hunters and Gatherers. Likely gathered a whole hell of a lot of not meat as well.
1) There aren't hundreds of millions of electrics cars, so unless you're projecting to the future (possible) the argument doesn't hold water. If you are projecting, you also would need to project the change that charging facilities will grow as adoption increases.

Bollocks. There will not be millions of chargers installed along every sidewalk with free street parking. Those people will be forced into something less convenient, more expensive, or both.

2. Is at gimmick levels. They aren’t ubiquitous by any means. Influencing where you go to shop. Often at the fancier grocery stores, that have chargers. Might be great for affluent shoppers that are already going for high end grocery, but a reduction in economic mobility for someone who already has less.

From my understanding, there's two major issues with geoengineering.

1. You have to keep doing it forever, and likely accelerate the rate at which you do. If rapid decarbonization doesn't happen in tandem, you'll need to be adding more and more aerosols over time. And the second you stop, you get a sudden whiplash climate change event that has a hundred years of warming in one. The risk of that catastrophe isn't worthwhile to many.

2. Most of the compounds that are cheap and effective are both ozone depleters and cause acid rain. The one studied most is Sulfur Dioxide, which would cause ocean acidification after many years of sustained use.

IMO, it's a fundamentally bad idea because it's using one form of pollution to fix the problem created by another. The second and third order effects could be unforeseen and catastrophic.
How about we start caring less about what is good for the economy and start caring more about what is good for the workers. I'm tired of society's sole focus being on maximum efficiency and profit extraction.
Yes. I've always seen IQ as a predictor for how fast you can learn material and make connections. So it saves time. Which makes people with high IQ look superhuman during school: new topics are introduced every month, and the smart kids breeze through.

After school, when 99% of jobs (even the ones for those smart kids) don't require constantly learning progressively harder concepts, IQ matters less. The time it saves for a disinterested person can no longer compete with the time an interested person can spend.

It's worth chastisting a little bit, because "smart" is at best an oversimplification. I wrote at length about this in another post, but the tldr is that, in expectation, most people are good at some things and bad at others. If I'm good at university-level mathematics but terrible at woodworking, am I smarter than someone who is good at woodworking but has a hard time wrapping their head around group theory?

Case in point: I struggled in my algebra class and developed no useful intuition for groups until years later, but by most conventional standards I am a moderately intelligent person.
Yes, and making changes to those processes over time will probably be dependent on consultants/staff who are no longer there, and their understanding of the Rube Goldberg configuration will take months/quarters to unravel.

It's a weird world where the IS and business sides of the company can hold each other hostage.
This is the same fallacy that people make when they think that war is good for the economy. They somehow imagine that people are better off when we spend money bombing eachother.

VSCode is an Electron application and yet, while not being lightweight, snappy and efficient, is not a complete piece of garbage.

I think the blame fully falls on the developers of such applications, not on the framework.
You can answer all of these questions by running a filesystem or system call trace on Chrome processes, which will be more accurate than listening for the file access with your ears. Without such evidence you are jumping to wild conclusions.

On macOS, use Activity Monitor to inspect the process and it will show you a list of open files. You can also use lsof, strace, dtrace, depending on your OS. I don’t know about Windows.

You could also try defragging your hard drive.

> not exactly apples to Apples to compare your 2022 iPhone to an Android phone from 2019

I kind of disagree. If you can't make a UI run fluidly on a phone from 4 years ago, you might be doing it wrong. UIs have tight timing budgets, true, but computers are _plenty_ fast enough to keep up. Android has more overhead than iOS and it shows.

I put up with Android because I can run my own code on my own hardware. But I'm increasingly looking at iOS favorably.
