I think by that logic you could also equate getting a punch in the gut with being murdered. Sure, it's worse to get murdered, but it happens much less frequently then just a simple fistfight. Therefore, newspapers should talk less about how bad murderers are and more about people who got into bar fights.

Yeah, I'm not saying Amazon is terrible or that I don't buy from them but if I were in charge I'd worry about those reputation issues since that's the kind of thing which takes a long time to change. I periodically get spam from people offering to pay me for fake Amazon reviews and the fact that they are not interested in receiving those reports worries me more than anything else about the business long-term.
Inflation is the cost of goods, it doesnt include wages.
I worked for a restaurant that did this to me. To make sure I hit the "minimum hours" (when you start talking about hours vs tasks or responsibilities you probably aren't getting into a legitimate salary arrangement) they would have me clock in and out, and I'd get pay stubs with 40 hours (less if I worked less) and the overtime hours paid at $0.

They withheld my last paycheck when I quit and stopped responding to my calls so I had to file with the PA labor board, I sent in those paystubs and answered questions about the role and what I did there. Couple weeks later they send me a check for 20 grand out of the blue, the business had to pay back overtime becuase I was misclassifed. I was just looking for the $300 or so they owed me, was really surprised with the outcome.
Usefulness is the correct measure. ChatGPT is limited, but immediately very useful in a surprising number of ways. Compare that to the Bitcoin hype, where, even though it has had years, is still mainly useful for drug transactions and other illegal transfers.

OpenSSL was just an example. You could also use XML parsing or many other tasks.

Point is that the code already exists - it's not hypothetical - and has done for a long time. It is far easier to write bindings from an existing C API to a managed implementation than write, audit and maintain a whole new stack from scratch. There are also many other cases where apps could feasibly be replaced with code written in managed languages and then invoked from C or C++.

Anything written in C/C++ can certainly tolerate pauses when calling into third party libraries because malloc/free can pause for long periods, libraries are allowed to do IO without even documenting that fact etc.

I think it's fair to be concerned that rewrite-it-in-rust is becoming a myopic obsession for security people. That's one way to improve memory safety but by no means the only one. There are so many cases where you don't need to do that and you'll get results faster by not doing so, but it's not being considered for handwavy reasons.
Because, as I said above, it's a very complex problem :)

I honestly don't know much about recommendations (and what I know I probably cannot tell). But there's definitely continuous work done on them. But it can also be hampered by extremely conflicting requirements (where "some" both means double-digit procent of users and these "some"s overlap with each other):

- some users want more of the same, some users want a more diverse listening experience. Some of these users are the same user, but on different days

- some users mostly prefer curated suggestions, some users want ranodm stuff. They can also be the same user :)

- some users a heavily weigted to only a few artists, some users listen to evereything and anything. And even this can be the same user :)

- there's probably stuff about licensing, availability, contracts etc. at play as well, because in streaming services it's always there, in very bizarre ways

Basically every single tweak to recommendations will break them. And yeah, Spotify employees will complain about this more than anyone else, all the time :)
Arguably history is the study of an ever-breaking quasi-non-resilient combination of systems and arguing that your particular causal viewpoint is the One True one.
> That goes for pretty much any resource; there's a lot of botched or sub-optimal explanations of complex things out on the internet. But being able to have a conversation with someone who has a decent conceptual grasp on something is better than a perfect encyclopedic article alone, and ChatGPT is able to roughly do that for a lot of subjects.

people keep saying this, but it isn't true. if you ignore sites like this one and reddit there are plenty of authoritative articles and explanations about things with provenance. and if they are wrong they'll update their information.

The reasons why I continue to use Safari right now despite wanting to use Firefox really badly:

1. Apple Pay integration only works in Safari.
2. Firefox on iOS uses MobileWebKit underneath, which is basically just Safari with a mustache
3. Firefox on iOS is (was?) also buggy in weird ways, like tabs would close unexpectedly or pages would fail to load.
4. (Biggest reason) Firefox on iOS does not support extensions. Safari does.
I sent a $25 Xbox gift card to a kid as Xmas gift. Guess what? The card was faulty, and the numbers were not visible at all. They sent me a picture and asked if Amazon would replace it. So, I contacted Amazon support, and they asked me to send a card back and gave me a return shipping label assuring me that it was under Amazon A-Z Guarantee. When my friend sent the card to them, they only refunded $0.32 and said the rest was restocking fees. Imagine if someone is buying MacBook Air worth $1000 and Amazon is giving you $1 as a refund saying $999 was a restocking fee. I explained to support over chat that it was a damaged Xbox gift card, but they refused and thought my friend messed it up while scratching it. So fuck Amazon. Their support is gone down hill, and it is all money-grabbing and scamming sellers. Also, they deleted my review. Only 5 stars reviews are appearing on the page except one person with similar issue.
In what kind of world does a strong jobs number, implying a strong economy, sink stock prices?

There is a clear dichotomy between the 'financial' economy, and the actual economy. The pre-eminence of 'Shareholder value' should be relegated to the 20th century, and this century we should focus on making the economy serve society.

It's correct. Some people choose status over money. https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/status-over-money-money...

"The solution, then, is to pay the low-status workers a bit more than they are worth to get them to stay. The high-status workers, in contrast, accept lower pay for the benefit of their lofty positions."

The consequence of this is job title inflation.

I think many people (myself included) see it as a problem that capitalism so clearly works against the interest of the many to benefit the few. We understand why stock buybacks and layoffs increase shareholder value, and therein lies the problem.
A possibly better example for photos would be the 8 bit tag that says a pixel is within -2 to +1 in each of RGB. In 8 bit, there are a lot of cases where this is a big enough range to capture the noise of a static color (and or a gradient). In a 16 bit image, a lot of the time there might be 3-4 bits of noise which will mean that the tag is a lot less useful.

“Pulls users slightly to the right”

So the indoctrination isn’t obvious? So it’s subtle? That makes it more pernicious, in my eyes.

I never said anything about a vast majority. To indoctrinate doesn’t mean convert an entire population, or even a percentage thereof. On the contrary, it refers to a process of teaching a person or group (of any size) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically. It doesn’t specify what degree of beliefs have to change, nor how rapidly, or severely.

YT recommends Fox, Shapiro, et al to kids watching anime, to adults whose sole interests are cat videos and programming tutorials. A bit different than a librarian suggesting books one might like.

And what happens if the librarian sees I’ve been checking out the likes of Mein Kampf, and makes recommendations based on that? Does indoctrination through multiple channels cancel itself out, or some? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make there but it sounds a lot like “bad things can happen in other places so it’s acceptable if YouTube does bad things too.

One should consider the effect on those already radicalized in addition to the indoctrination of the non-radicalized when seeking to understand the political ramifications of such bias in algorithms. It’s not like they exist in a vacuum, after all.

edit: Add to that, on the topic of librarians, the decentralized nature of libraries and librarians ensures any effect of a single librarian will be limited to a local area. Don’t think we can say the same for YouTube algorithms.
Would you choose Scala again (assuming you're starting similar project today)?
Kind of? You’re buying into the rhetoric though.

As a developer, I made a couple of hundred thousand dollars from the Apple App Store. You know how much value the App Store provided me? Way, way more than the 30% I paid (this was years ago).

Without a portal that could direct millions of people to find my app, I probably would have made tens of dollars.

So we can debate fair pricing, but the idea that aggregators don’t provide any value isn’t an indictment of aggregators, it’s a confession of not understanding the business.
> travel to exotic places, fantasy novels, meeting new people.

Interesting for the actor, perhaps, but probably still boring for the observer. Generally, there is nothing interesting about people doing those things. They are common things people commonly do. A lifelong hermit who has never met another person finally deciding it is time to meet someone would be interesting, but that's an exceptional case.

Which brings us back to the article questioning why people don't shake things up sometimes. Like, why didn't the preacher at church not wear a KISS costume last Sunday? That would be interesting for me to see. It could become boring if done regularly, but one time out of the blue to the shock and awe of the congregation would be quite interesting. Is there some underlying mechanism that would keep said preacher from being willing to do that?

I think HBO Max is weird in that you have to pick the options before you start the movie. I found I couldn't change languages from the audio track or subtitles options while the movie was playing. But I can 100% confirm that I watched all of the movies on HBO Max in Japanese audio with English subtitles. AppleTV 4K.
So give 'em what they want? It's not your problem whether its useful or not. If they're paying you to do it, then do it and let them see if it's worth the trouble. When productivity sinks company wide they'll figure it out.

> Bugs and Kermit are essentially 'adults' whereas newer kids characters are themselves kind of infantalized, obviously not children, but removed from all hints of potential conflict or ascerbic nature.

Quite frequently, they are explicitly children (e.g., PJ Masks, where, AFAIK, the existence of adults is implied but never shown, Ada Twist, Scientist, where the focal characters are children, with adults in supporting roles, etc.)

But, no, generally there is plenty of conflict, and often more realistic conflict than in older kids programming. Murderous intent and lethal violence (both serious and played for laughs) are less common than in children’s programs when I waa growing up, but... I don't see thr problem with that. .

> I have some dealings with Spin Master (aka Paw Patrol) and it's 100% 'just business'. It's just a product like anything else: eyeballs, distribution, attention, view count etc..

> I really do feel there's something very creepy and ultimately very obvious happening right in front of us, that we just won't see until retrospect becuase it wasn't a purposeful characterization.

That seems, historically, to be a very common reaction people have to situations that don’t fit the subconscious expectations of their formative years.
well, except the math doesn’t actually add up in that case for anyone ‘real’ including any bank using normal lending sources, as that 100k paid back is now worth far less than 100k back when the loan was written.

The reality is that for a long time the Fed was using QE to buy up mortgage bonds written at nearly arbitrarily low rates. Bonds that no one else would buy/fund because the odds of losing money were too great. They’d been doing so since ‘09 or thereabouts to keep that market liquid.

So they were willingly taking the risk of money destruction, and as the one entity that could do so, that’s pretty good. They’re probably the only one that could really do so without going bankrupt, as they are the only entity that can ‘create’ money arbitrarily in the system.

It’s around 2.6 trln dollars right now [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WSHOMCB]

The vast majority of the banks haven’t been underwriting mortgages themselves for a very long time, and the ones that were had been getting put in scarier and scarier positions because of the Fed’s actions.

Right now, the entire sector
is in the process of imploding because the Fed has stopped doing what it was before, and trying to push the markets back to reflect a more realistic cost of money, which of course dries up demand as prices are still based on ‘free cash’ as the benchmark - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-19/mortgage-...
My stance is pretty simple.

The folks that adapt their own language centers and domain reasoning around using chatGPT (or these types of models) will stand to gain the most out of using them.

This article is an eye roll to me, a calculator gives you confidence as well, doesn't mean you used it correctly.

It is very hard for me to not outright dismiss articles like this that don't consider the usefulness of the tool. They instead search for every possible way to dismiss the tool.

I'm enjoying it a lot too, I've always been a bit frustrated by what you describe with Spotify. It's like it's keying more on genre than sound, which has both pros and cons, but ends up giving me a lot of music that is nominally in the same genre but missing the qualities I like about a certain song.

Probably my favorite song of all time is Close to the Edge, by Yes. Spotify will happily provide me with tons of recommendations for 70s prog - much of which I love too, but some of it leaves me cold.

Maroofy came up with "Good Day" by Leigh Ashford, a song I had never heard of. It's very interesting to compare it to CttE - it's not a very similar song in most respects, but has a similarly prominent bouncy bassline. I like the song, and I don't think I'd have found it via spotify or any of my other usual music discovery sources.

Overall this is very cool, great project.
I assume things are different in the US. Attitudes to the military certainly seem different today.
While tragic, the numbers are so close to zero they are statistically zero.

Over 3 years, CDC has logged 650 total (~216 per year)[1] covid-related deaths for the 0-4 age group. 5-18 years is a grand total of 997 (~332 per year)[1].

These numbers rival fatalities that we don't even blink an eye at, such as automotive related deaths[2].

WHO statistics indicate the US loses around 20,000 - 30,000 children under the age of 5 every year[3].

None of this is to say child covid related deaths are not tragic - of course they are. But the numbers are so small that it makes little sense to worry about them.

Ask HN: Will you be paying for ChatGPT+?
I was just offered the paid subscription yesterday for $20/mo. I went ahead and signed up for this month just to see if bringing back the late-December speeds and uptime would feel compelling.

I'm still not really incorporating ChatGPT into my daily workflows at all, but I give it lots of "for fun" prompts all day. So, I am not confident I will stick with the subscription past a month, but I hope the payment pushes me to find more practical uses for it.

How about you?

I'm experimenting with that right now on firefox with userChrome.css changes, and it's starting to work:

/* Hide the whole top bar */

#nav-bar {

min-height: 0 !important;

}

#urlbar-container:focus-within, #search-container:focus-within {

position: fixed;

box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 1em;
transform: translateX(-50%);
width: 40vw;

}

Top bar stays hidden, but url bar / search bar appear when I press ctrl+l / ctrl+k. Likely need to tweak css to your likings, and you need to set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config to enable userChrome.css (you can find various guides on that if needed)

Someone I work with put this together.

How would you add to it?

My current context:

* air quality I think i've done the obvious things — have some ventilation, windows open when cooking, no candles, air purifier, and living in an area where the outside air is good, change hvac filters every so often

* water i'm not sure if there's other high priority stuff worth doing. saw some stuff about maybe it's worth checking for lead in water in old houses? have under sink water filters, no whole house filter

* processed foods i mostly avoid, straightforward-ish

* xenoestrogens — i have a bunch of polyester clothing. not sure how concerned i should be about that. avoid disposable coffee cups, drinking out of plastic. do eat takeout food in plastic containers though. use almost all organic type toothpaste/shower products. wondering if i should prioritize certain items of clothing that have more skin contact eg underwear, socks, vs loose shirts/pants, to avoid things. and am assuming 9% polyester is less bad than 100% polyester.

* seed oils — avoided at home, and mostly only do takeout from places that don't use them

* sugar and hyper palatable — avoid, straightforward ish

* endemic pathogens — avoiding cat litter, unclear if much testing is worth it as unclear what treatment options are if you do have something

* and generally, a bit concerned about 'stuff i don't know that i don't know'
First, this content is locked in my region so I don't know exactly what you linked to.

Second, if you are linking to a news article about that one University guy who said young people shouldn't take the vaccine, it is my understanding that his study was flawed. But again, I can't read the article so take this with a grain of salt.

Cargo already does this when building incrementally, and there are tools for doing it within an organization like sccache.

> If the concern is that I could change something in a crate

It's possible for a change in one crate to require recompiling its dependencies and transitive dependencies, due to conditional compilation (aka, "features' [0]).
Basically you can't know which thing to compile until it's referenced by a dependent and provided a feature set.

That said, many crates don't have features and have a default feature set, but the number of variants to precompile is still quite large.

[0] https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html

Note that C and C++ have the exact same problem, but it's mitigated by people never giving a shit about locking dependencies and living with the horrible bugs that result from it.
It's not entirely true, but "only poors have kids" and so I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the SS budget comes from income earners with few or no kids.
