I think for Google it may be profits. If you're already a near monopoly that's captured most of the market using a (relatively) cheap means of data processing, an extremely expensive competitor is terrible news. You're in a position where the winning move where you keep your marketshare means far lower profits, at least for some amount of time.
> It’s yet another indicator of our bizarro economy, where frivolous goods like air fryers are cheap but staples like eggs and meat are increasingly unaffordable.

An air fryer is no more frivolous than a toaster. We use ours as our toaster, toaster oven, and convection oven. It's incredibly useful.
It's in the article. Employees should tell their employer if they are wrong. I don't see anything that disproves the engineers.
> 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.

Honestly, I added "keep your models as simple as you can" into it. But any way you cut empiricism, it's actually utilitarianism that can be seen, so it's the one where the correct fine-cutting is important (hum... well, if you keep an utilitarian point of view). Anyway, utilitarianism tends to align with the version of empiricism biased into getting computable models.

And, of course, none of those deal with purpose questions.

Anyway, your comment there is great. What I disagree is on conceding space to something like the one above yours, because it's a misleading text that implies something very different from what it says.
“Wash sale” prohibition is mathematically absurd. “Two different versions of a common stock” is just a mathematical proof of the absurdity.

there is a cultural mindset especially among startups that it's better to be alive and having to make layoffs than to move conservatively, have a faster mover overtake you and push you out of the market, and be dead. "The graveyards are full of businesses that moved appropriately for the market conditions", to warp a saying.

apple is an enormously stable company in ways that (to be very honest) even most other tech blue-chips are not. even microsoft or google have the sword of damocles hanging over them - given a sufficiently long and severe position of mismanagement it is possible that even google or MS could be unseated or even go under. arguably that is the trajectory MS was on in the 00s, and google could be similarly unseated by AI.

intel would be a great real-world example of that. Even 10 years ago the thought of big blue losing control was unthinkable, un-thinkable. And here we are, they're circling the drain right now and need to make very deep cuts and refocus on the essentials or they're going to be in bankruptcy in 5-10 years, during a down market in general and a specific market that they glutted during the pandemic (a lot of customers have enough PCs/laptops/servers for quite a while). And in contrast Apple is still making money hand-over-fist despite the market conditions - now that's stability.

I'm not going to say that google or MS doubling their size on a short-term timescale sounds like a good idea but it's a ride-or-die industry, you're pretty much either getting bigger or getting smaller, and mere homeostasis is a rare luxury.

In the USA, to prepare food for commercial purposes, you generally need to have a kitchen that has been inspected and permitted for such things. You cannot, for example, use your own home kitchen (this varies by state, but that's generally true). Some states require training courses for all users of these kitchens (and some do not). Some require that the kitchen can only be used when someone trained is present.

I did not make anything up. The New Mexico law I mentioned went into effect only a few years ago. Before that, it would be illegal to, for example, bake a cake in your home kitchen and offer it for sale. This is no longer the case.

Sure, there are probably some holes/slight inaccuracies in Hersh's story. This particular "debunking" is mostly nitpicking. The tweet about the minesweeper path is a head-scratcher, because it sure looks like the boat slowed down/loitered near both blast sites.

It is interesting that the White House, CIA, State Department, and establishment media class all found the need to promptly respond to what they characterized as a "blog post" and "conspiracy theory" from a "discredited former journalist". Thousands of such speculations are published every day on the internet, and the government does not find the need to respond.

It is also interesting that none of the above government organizations volunteered an alternative explanation for who bombed their ally's critical infrastructure. You would think that the #1 intelligence service in the world would be able to offer some explanation on the matter, almost half a year later, to quell the speculation.
It is expensive to keep a crime and corruption department on your banking institution. If you are dealing with a millionaire who is related to some oil mogul in Russia you can do your due diligence and Vladimirovich can hire a team of accountants to prove that his business is legit and not at all related to the corporativist oligarchy his uncle runs. Or it might be, but the risk vs reward is good enough to turn a blind eye for now.

Ivan, immigrant from Belarus who drives a bus and likes to withdraw cash from his <5000 euro account? Get this living liability out of my bank! I won't run a whole department or risk getting fined because some no name pauper. But since we can't just ban him let's just ask for ridiculous documents like proving the nationality of his grandfather (real story btw) or criminal records, translated in English, by an official translator. Let's annoy him so much with retarded requirements he will leave by himself and if he fails to provide our totally not arbitrary evidence we write a polite e-mail stating that we are sorry but we won't run his account anymore.

That's basically AML compliance to you.

I’m on the fence. I don’t mind outages and as a relatively new service, there’s some expectation that there will be outages but the frequency and similarity of the outages is a little disconcerting. I’ve not yet moved off but I am reconsidering my choice to use them for production services when there are a variety of alternatives — Google Cloud Run is very reliable.

The unique aspect of their service (ability to containerise an application on your behalf) is not the important part for me so the only thing keeping me on Fly at the moment is inertia — which is a shame, I want to love Fly.

Proactive audit system seems to be better one to me. It is more predictable - you know in advance which rules you are supposed to follow. It also allows for widely accepted risk standard know in advance to both customers and providers.

The "do what you want and we will punish you hard if luck strikes badly" is less predictable. It has unfair results. It leads to both excessive risk avoidance (because if you are unlucky punishment is disproportionate) and risk taking customer is unable to proactively avoid.
By the time Hersh first wrote about Abu Ghraib there had already been reporting on abuses by Amnesty International, and several days earlier some of the photos had been shown on 60 Minutes (as he mentions in the piece). The piece cites an Army report, credited to two named generals, and names seven suspects, six of whom were under active criminal prosecution. His report was published (and vetted!) by The New Yorker. The difference between that piece and this one in terms of sourcing and credibility is like night and day.

> But yet none from an exploding nuclear power plant. Why?

Interesting question.

I think the answer is that Russia didn't plan to occupy the largest nuclear power plant in Europe; they occupied Ukrainian territory, and there was a NPP in it. I think it's inconvenient for them to have international inspectors paying attention to the ZNPP. It's right on the frontline; it's on the shore of this huge reservoir on the Dniepro, and Ukraine occupies the opposite shore.

Russia doesn't need the energy from ZNPP; if there's one thing they have plenty of, it's energy.

And for Ukraine's part, they are playing a slow game. I think it suits them that Russia has this inconvenience in the middle of their frontline.
It is absolutely not clear that an ML model is a derivative work. It might be for-profit but there's good arguments that it is incredibly transformative, and that each individual work the model is trained on is minimally important to the model (if you trained the model on every other document in the training set except the one being sued over, the model would perform very similarly). These are factors which will weigh against the copyright holder.
Not sure if that's controversial? I don't think the fossil fuel industry (or Putin) could've wished for better allies than the Energiewende (anti-nuclear, pro Russian gas with a bit of solar and wind) supporters in Europe.

Whoever was behind it successfully managed to delay nuclear fission adoption by about 60 years for all of the EU and UK except France causing massive amounts of totally unnecessary CO2 emissions in the process.

Both certainly have their place and the balance has definitely shifted from where it was thirty years ago - renewables are much more competitive now but I think Nuclear has a pretty critical role to play when it comes to surge capacity.

Quoting another person here, seems like there are some big issues with Intel CPU's when it comes to laptops

"These may help:

https://wccftech.com/intel-alder-lake-desktop-cpus-more-powe...

Basically the P CPUs are much faster than U in previous generations but are also much more power hungry. The battery life is noticably shorter on laptops with a CPU like i5-1240P. And they produce a LOT of heat. I think one CPU option for framework laptop is i5-1240P. "
No, this area has a ton roundabouts, this was just poor planning. Supporting your point about Americans not knowing how to use them though, I see many people cut these roundabouts in this neighborhood. Meaning they will just turn left directly instead of actually going around. This is super scary when they're going fast and you're coming from the street they're turning into.
Claims by both sides as to the enemy losses are rather overstated, so what is likely?
There may be an incorrect statement regarding the Norwegian P-8 in the linked article.

The author states that that "they won’t enter into active service until later this year", but the source the author links to doesn't actually make that claim. All it says is that the P-3s will keep flying until sometime in 2023, when the "P-8 is ready to take over". I don't think that implies that Norway doesn't already have some P-8s in active operation.
But it wouldn't always pick them, it would pick them with a higher probability that also depended on the players' relative distances to the monster.

So it's a stochastic bug where any given occurrence can be explained as "you just have confirmation bias, you don't notice all the times Zygy Zebra gets attacked" or "you must have been closer than Zygy even though you thought you were a bit further away". Especially if the game has a first-player perspective which makes it harder to estimate whether you or another player is closer.
> The sources themselves do not make the assertion that Russia destroyed the pipelines. I’m not looking for an admission from Russia!

There are no other suspects and Russia does benefit.

> 100% agree. Destroying the pipelines eliminates Russia’s ability to continue weaponizing gas flows. The German economy now has nothing to gain by easing sanctions or military aid to Ukraine.

What makes you think Germany doesn't want gas from Russia? That's the whole reason they sent a few thousand helmets to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. I think the German dream is that the war ends and they get their cheap gas again from Russia.

> Destroying a pipeline in foreign economic zones does not absolve you of your contractual obligations. That would be a massive escalation and an overt act of war. It’d be much easier and less risky to manufacture justifications for reduced gas flows.

No one can prove that you did it. That's the whole point. I really don't understand your comment here.

Very blurry. The answer now is just "whichever is easier for the small part of the task right now". Since duckdb happily talks arrow, you can use pandas for part of it, quickly do some SQL where that is easier (with no data copying) then switch back to pandas for something. You don't really have to choose which one to use any more.
The main problem with Hersh's claims is why the US/Norway would keep one of the two new NS2 lines intact? That line alone is big enough to meet Germany's domestic demands and according to Nord Stream AG one of the other lines received so little damage that they can fix it in a year or less.
I wouldn't say all. In the downtown core, most are (some in the ID are not), but once you start getting out of the more urban neighborhoods, it's hit or miss. West Seattle, North Seattle, and South Seattle all have plenty of supermarkets that are large one story buildings in the middle of a big parking lot.
True, you don't want to burn bridges.

But taking the description of your situation at face value, I would have quit that company. Its values are so different from mine that I'd feel I have no business being there.
It's still early...
I am not certain it is just "moderate", but it definitely exists.
There's nothing wrong with anonymous sourcing, but if your thing is based on a _single_ anonymous source, AND you've cultivated a reputation for being a credulous crank (see also the sourcing on the alternate universe Bin Laden writing Hersh did), AND you don't have any kind of editorial machine to back up your sourcing, AND the claim is incredibly inflammatory, then probably that's going to present a problem.
Hardly an explanation. I really wanted to understand.
I agree and I think the damage to humanity that the anti-nuclear movement has done is incalculable. So many years of progress have been missed out on... and while some of it was due to greed (fossil fuel industry funding), most of it was just misplaced fear, whether propaganda induced or from an inability to see the full picture.

The anti-nuclear movement is also still alive and doing well
but at this point it's like arguing over spilled milk, the damage is mostly done and a lot of is irreversible. We can try to salvage nuclear but we've already regressed to further impure sources in some countries so progress seems unlikely.
I like to think I'm an adventurous eater. Like many people who like to think that, I've tried stinky tofu exactly once.
>'There's a small market for converting vintage cars to EVs. The cars are already unsafe, so it's a way for enthusiasts to save a car's body long after the drivetrain has failed'

This is wildly inaccurate. There was a trend for a few people customizing popular classic cars into electric drivetrains. The reality is any desirable VW Beetle, Porsche, Jaguar etc has a huge parts aftermarket for full restoration back to 'brand new' originality.
Converting a classic car to be electric typically devalues it (classic cars are an asset class).

The challenge when putting heavy batteries in an older vehicle that was designed for a heavy engine at the front or back is that it changes the suspension, steering and handling characteristics, while the extremely rapid acceleration possible with any electric vehicle means the braking system design may need to be radically altered. We see way too many 'aesthetic' conversions of classic cars that are beautiful death traps in the hot rod world, and now in the EV bodge up world too.
>Fear of nuclear is distrust in the government.

Is it though? The US Navy has a pretty impressive nuclear safety record for the number of reactors they have in service.

To flip it, would you have more trust in a private company with nuclear safety? If the same decisions being made that allows PG&E to cut their funding for maintenance that allows their lines to be the cause of California's forest fires, why would we trust they would pay for the upkeep on a nuclear reactor?
I actually was drawn into reading this much more than the original article. I found myself going into skim mode with the original Hersh article. So ironically, I actually learned more about Hersh's claims reading this article than the original.

I've worked with a bunch of old people of late. And I'm saying that from the reference point of 52. It's hard. I don't want to be an ageist. But I regularly see how hard it is to grow older. To do so gracefully scares the heck out of me. Some things are in your control, but it's increasingly a journey where the constitution of yourself slips out of your control. Some 85 year olds (Hersh's current age) are still sharp as a tack, but even then, the fight to still feel relevant is an uphill battle. It is hard for me to not be suspicious much of Hersh's vector here isn't hugely influenced by advancing years.
California's AB-5 [1] is one issue. It basically says the independent contractors that are working on your core business are employees not independent contractors. This makes California companies very hesitant to use one person shops.
