The relationship between a boss and an employee is so far removed from a classical single-round prisoner's dilemma that I don't think you'll draw reliably accurate conclusions from it. As it sounds like you know, constraints like iteration change the game significantly, as would making it a game with many actors and reputational effects.

All models are wrong, some models are useful, and in this case it seems more wrong than useful.

Thanks. As I expected, there's a conflation of day traders, and players against investors. Lots of people acquire things and hold. They pay some intermediary to perform the trades, but they aren't doing active trading, because their investment strategy is buy and hold. So, observations to the size of the amount of non-funds amateur investors? on the money. But assuming their movements is a function of people who read some $25 "how to make money trading from home" seems to me to be faulty journalism.

I very much doubt active traders (people with more than one transaction per week let us say) is the scale of the market of concern here. I think its far more likely as people look at income from holding, the relative worth compared to initial investment, and availability of income stream products and investments they're moving out of shares and into other things. Pensioners do that.

They're not all get-rich-quick fantasists. The illustration and their quips to returning to $14/h jobs in Vegas are not really a national trend as much as seniors pulling out of direct shares into EFT, or property, or income stream products from banks.

Grad students are Very Special in tax code. For example: guess how much grad students and their universities pay in FICA taxes for graduate stipends (can be north of $40K; typically 8% of gross for employee and 8% of gross for employer)? $0.00.

Tuition remissions in particular definitely do not show up on your W-2.

Now, to the question in this thread. If you choose to report tuition as income, you might be able to do that in certain cases, but it's probably because you have some strange reason for wanting to report a higher gross income. I can't even begin think of any reason why that might be. So, murky and likely to cause an audit? Maybe. But then the gov is complaining about getting extra $$$, unless your situation is really fucking weird.

Mind you, this is exactly why I find situations like this so reprehensible. Universities get tons of breaks in how they treat grad student labor. For universities to turn around around and fuck grad students like this, on top of the insulting wages, is beyond the pale.

By definition, being rich is somewhat exclusive.

The majority of nimbys aren't rich - they're pretty average. They're not trying to "keep the poor out."

In typical American fashion, they're trying to pull the lader up from under them to keep anyone else from having what they do.

The easiest way to Keep Up With The Joneses is to make sure there's never anymore of them to keep up with.

People don't care by and large that the steam deck runs on Linux, they care that a trusted company (probably the single most trusted company in gaming) released a hardware gaming device. If valve had put the same effort into the same hardware but made it Windows centric, most of its problems would go away. They just have very good reasons for trying to break away that platform.

I used the word "switch" rather than "use" on purpose. Nobody with a steam deck is using it as their primary computer or gaming device. Nobody is going to at least until the biggest stuff out there runs on it

It's truly bizarre that you are blaming the humans for the poor self driving by the car.

My coworker gave me a ride in his Tesla 2 months ago, on the roads near SpaceX's facility in SoCal. During the 15 minute ride FSD tried to cross over into the opposing lanes, ran a red, narrowly avoided hitting a cyclist (because the cyclist swerved away to save his life) and failed to recognize half of the cars on the road with us.

It was a terrifying experience. And he said it was not much worse than his normal commute with FSD.

Having studied some psychology in college, my initial reaction is that most people are going to really struggle to treat LLMs as what they are, pieces of code that are good at copying/predicting what humans would do. Instead they'll project some emotion to the responses, because there was some underlying emotions in the training data and because that's human nature. A good prediction doesn't mean good understanding, and people aren't used to needing to make that distinction.

The other day I had to assist my dad in making a zip file, later in the day he complained that his edits in a file weren't saving. After a few moments, I realized he didn't understand the read-only nature of zip files. He changed a file, saved it like usual, and expected the zipped file to update, like it everywhere else. He's brilliant as his job, after I explained that it's ready-only, he got it. LLMs and how the algorithm behind it works is hard to understand and explain to non-technical people without anthropomorphizing AI. The current controversy about AI art highlights this, I have read misunderstandings and wrong explanations even from FAANG software engineers. I am not sure if education of the underlying principles is enough, because some people will trust their own experiences over data and science.
gen x'er here saying the obvious "I guess you had to be there" ;)

it was the first QTE game, the first animated game with full NTSC laserdisc graphics, the first game to cost 50 cents to play, and just watching someone else play was entertaining enough so the cabinet ALWAYS had a crowd of people around it.

The only other time I regularly saw such a crowd around a single arcade cabinet was when Mortal Kombat came out while I was in college.

If you look at other popular arcade games of this era and what they had to offer graphically and sound-wise, you may start to see the appeal of a fully animated controllable game with a movie soundtrack.

Most Gen X gamers' memories of this game entail the (also entertaining) death animations. Because it was also FUCKING hard, lol. The hinting of QTE games today is positively luxurious compared to Dragons' Lair.

I think it's hilarious that the Daphne emulator has to actually simulate the playback-head delay of the (now nonexistent) laserdisc player to get the timings right, lol. Like it literally has to have a model of the disc itself in its emulation so it can estimate how long it would have taken the playback head to get from wherever it is virtually to wherever it is supposed to go virtually because the game incorporated these delays into its gameplay and simply supplying the right video data as soon as it is requested in naive emulation would make it work too fast, lol

I completely agree, absorbing the wisdom of senior engineers is invaluable. Mentorship is especially important. In fact, it was a mentor of mine that introduced me to your podcasts and conversations. I have fond memories of us listening to your talks as we worked. I love the historical, philosophical, and ethical touch you add, and the conversations you've had are a legacy that will be remembered!
Sure. Sounds nice. Wonder why they dont open more of them.

Big ships are cost effective, which means more profits for wealthy super-conglomerates. And to think shipping only contributes less than 4% of global greenhouse emissions, or about as much as a single high carbon-producing country, well over a billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually and more than all the ICE vehicles in the US. What an absolute marvel of modern technology.
wow, I had the same idea as my next home project. I put off working on it for too long. And this looks exactly as what I was hoping to achieve. Guess I have to find another idea. As mentioned in the comments there are so many great services in this space.

I had this problem of vaguely remembering something on the podcast that I listen to, and I wanted to find it by keywords. Using podtext.ai I was able to do it. So I consider it solved
I think there is a general security and privacy argument for this type of setup as well.

As a web browser has become a general purpose VM, it has capabilities far surpassing what is needed at least 50% the time, I'd go as high as 90% of the time personally. Which is great that we have a magical run anything anywhere VM, but it's a double edge sword of the performance, security and privacy issues that come along with it.

If there was a well defined subset of functionality that browsers presented as the default "web enclave" and then opening up all the bells and whistles further was an opt in choice, a large chunk of those issues would go away. But that requires a bunch of people to agree on what that subset should include and the horror of trying to keep it updated over time. And that's _everyone_, including users putting up with "opting in" rather than everything just working.

I'm not sure I can see a subset of features becoming the default approach, at least until there is some horrible self propagating browser worm that impacts a large percentage of the world (or maybe by the 2nd or 3rd time, we will have had enough).
I always liked this bit of lore from the Sunset District of San Francisco:

Most people would find it very hard to believe that Germany would allow such a valuable investment to sit unused for any significant amount of time. Other European countries also had significant investment in Nordstream AG. The Germans were merely placating the Americans while a a diplomatic solution was being sought for Ukraine. The Americans undermined the proposed solutions at every turn while they baited Russia to invade per the RAND report game plan and then decided to remove the pipeline from the bargaining table entirely.
Turbo Native in its current form requires a fair amount of iOS knowledge (and code!) to get working. I'm trying to fill that gap with my blog, workshops, and live streaming sessions. [1]

But it's no excuse for what this library could be if we invest more time into it. In an ideal world the library handles 90% of the boilerplate required to make an iOS app work. I'm talking authentication, pushing/presenting controllers, sensible defaults for Path Configuration, etc. All the stuff that I have to add to every single Turbo Native app I work with. (12+ since I last counted.)

Then devs can focus on differentiation and exciting features like push notifications, native integrations, fancy animations... while the core of the logic remains on the Rails app.

I'm hoping that getting more maintainers (like me!) on the repo will help kickstart this. And I'm excited to see more interest on both HN and Twitter in the framework.

The whole idea behind endowments used to be that they could maintain the institution through tough times. But nowadays, there's an expectation that endowments should continue to grow during a recession, even if that means cutting the institution to the bone.

Right, or..

Ok, uh, I don’t think one has to really reject empiricism to reject scientific materialism?

Or, err, by “empiricism” do you mean like, “support for doing experiments, and keeping track of the results and what models work good to explain them, etc.”, or do you mean stuff like “rejecting anything that doesn’t have good scientific evidence behind it”? One can do the former without doing the latter.

When I express a belief I have that doesn’t fit with scientific materialism, I make sure to mark it as such, so that people can take that into account. I don’t anticipate any clear externally-verifiable refutation of scientific materialism within my lifetime, and so I don’t anticipate predictions that follow from it to be refuted anytime soon. And I definitely wouldn’t present those beliefs of mine as being the scientific consensus.

I suppose one might accuse me of having a “belief in belief”, seeing as I don’t expect these supposed “beliefs” of mine to be predictively useful any time soon.

But I think it is right that there are goals/values that I place higher than pure predictive accuracy. And beliefs about purpose, and meaning, and what is good, etc. fall into that.

(You mentioned utilitarianism. I’m not a utilitarian, but I do think it is often a very good heuristic, and in many contexts it would be good for it to be used more.)

It's a combination of prefab cost meeting regulatory constraint. The most generic of the new builds have been optimized for cost while also working within legal requirements for many states and cities.

but if the phone is faster today, apps will start building features to use that CPU today. when the next phone comes out with a faster processor, you're still going to be behind the curve.

maybe less relevant in android, where phones generally have a wide spread of capabilities. but in iphone land, where most people are on the two most recent generations, you're always going to find developers assuming you have more processing power than you actually do if you're not on the latest generation.

You're right, it isn't. It's just Reddit admins lying through their teeth, it's their usual. Almost like they take most of the current Reddit userbase as braindead. (Spoilers: they might be right.)

In this specific case they're lying to not make it so obvious that they're pretty much incompetent to manage their site.
