Why are you citing a Saudi finance account as a source?

Also what the crap is going on today with Twitter and misinformation about this event, because for some reason it's trending again as of this writing and most of what is being posted now is unsourced and/or false.
It's weird to discuss children as turning them into something profitable
Thinking everything is a conspiracy is giving the assholes too much credit.

The education system is an education system. It's bad because it's underfunded, mismanaged, and pulled in multiple directions for political reasons, not to mention occasionally tasked with impossible jobs, such as keeping a roomful of emotionally disturbed children going in the same direction using only one underpaid teacher and a couple para-professionals. If it were actively designed to be malicious, it would be a lot more competent.
My dad is a teacher, and each day when dropping my off for high school he used to say "be careful, it is an institution out there."
True, but... product managers also like to research and try things. There have been a few packages out there that I wanted my team to try, but I gave up on because I wasn't able to play with it first. I also then proceeded to share my negative view within my own org in favor of the option that did.

It's absolutely valid that you can focus your attention towards the juicy targets, but there are likely more apples than expected that will hit the ground.
Controversial take, but the truth...
So because Microsoft's board assumes that consumer demand is due to weaken (as a result to the raised Fed rates), they laid off 10,000 people. So we can most likely assume those people were not bringing a lot of value to the company.

So it's not that the Fed rate affects Microsoft directly, because they don't really have any loans/processes where they need to get loans/debt at the Fed rate.

It's that they will be affected by lower consumer demand.
Because you can't read a linked article from HN if you have Apple News.

I think I talked to guidance counselors twice during my entire high school career, and neither time came away satisfied, but had friends who were in and out of their offices on the regular without complaint beyond the usual ones you'd expect from teenage boys.
The older I get the more I'm realizing "pre-history", "pre-civilisation" are very Western European Concepts.

Like when the Conquistadors "civilized" mexico
Or when the Portuguese and French "civilized" West Africa.
The article is now two decades old.

He was bucking the prevailing wisdom a bit. We had gone from cowboy coder teams building everything themselves, to highly structured/abstract code bases. "Don't build if you can buy, don't roll your own if there's an existing tool, if you do build a tool, make sure you make it in a way that's reusable." Etc.

Here, Joel was saying that there are exceptions to the rule. That better teams should consider these exceptions before just leaning on the conventional wisdom.

I think in the decades since this article was first written, his way of thinking has become more common.
Current shadow libraries (zlib, libgen, scihub) suffer from centralized data hosting and opaque librarians/custodians (who modify metadata and gate inclusion/exclusion of content). We already have the tools to solve this.

1. Files are stored in a distributed fashion and referred to via their content hash. We already have IPFS for this.

2. Library metadata can be packaged up into a SQLite DB file. The DB would contain IPFS hashes, book names, authors, etc.

3. Teams of volunteers assemble and publish the library metadata DB files. There can be multiple teams, each with their own policies. The latest library files can be published via RSS. Each team can have their own upload portal.

4. A desktop app can pull multiple RSS feeds for multiple libraries. The libraries can be combined together and be searched easily on the client side. Users can search for content via the latest library metadata files, locally on their desktop. Content can be downloaded via IPFS.

5. The desktop app can also double as an IPFS host, allowing users to choose specific files to pin or simply allocate an amount of space for the purpose (100 GB, etc). There could also be servers that aggregate pinning info to make sure no gaps are there.

5. For ease of access, people can run websites that preclude the need to setup your own desktop app / download libraries.

6. Library teams can publish metadata DBs and content via torrents, too, for long-term/disaster-recovery/archival purposes.

This would be a true hydra. No one centralized team, no reliance on DNS. If one team's library set up goes down, you can use another's.
We really just need hard native application isolation like Android and iOS offer. Other than zero-day sandbox escapes, there's very little a malicious Android app can do if it has been granted no permissions and no file system or internet access.
I think the opposite, so many of these layoffs have been accompanied by announcements that they are closing their offices.

Sample size of 1, but...

In my personal life, I got all my friends on Discord and we've been really happy with that. It's screen sharing seems tuned for video games, though, and sucks for sharing non-game applications. We all set up Teams accounts because it does so much better with screen sharing.

I haven't tried Slack recently but I really disliked that I needed a different account on each server and the UI didn't seem to unify the servers together in a convenient way like discord does. I'm pretty sure this is for enterprise support reasons and that it is by design, but it's still annoying for use when I'm just trying to talk to all of my circles of friends in one place.

At work we use Teams and I have zero complaints so far. We've been using it since either 2019 or 2020. It's so much better than Zoom + Mattermost or, before that Skype for Business / Lync. shudder

Fiber optics still need amplifiers every couple of kilometers – and to feed these, you'll need a metal-based electricity supply.
It’s so interesting to see how some people can see boundless possibilities in the future of this technology, decrying any discussion of limitations as premature, but then write off the scope of its security challenges as trivial.

But it’s way more important to keep an open and imaginative mind regarding security than it is about anything the tech might enable. The uses of the effective tech are inevitable, whatever they are, but security posturing only comes from attention and insight.

Companies that created a coffee break during the industrial revolution did see significant productivity and quality improvements.

It's quite possible that caffeine blocks adenosine and then your body metabolizes it away via another mechanism for it maxes out. Thus you don't end up paying all of it back. Why? Perhaps our brains may be evolutionarily programmed to use less energy than they could because food was previously much harder to come by.

From an energy conservation POV, overproduction of adenosine makes biological sense.
But just knowing that both camps exist is important, because it means the "benefit" of fully remote is only seen that way to a subset of candidates. It makes it kind of tricky to quantify when thinking of say total compensation.
Are you saying Supreme court of India is in bed with Modi? That is a very strong accusation. Modi didn't investigate himself and give himself a clean chit. He was been scrutinised by Supreme Court of India multiple times. And we have much better functioning courts. Many BJP party members who has been found guilty of various things have been punished by Courts. This BBC propaganda piece has been made now only because Modi didn't do as per the wishes of war mongering western governments.

Side note, but most people who say they don't like lifting weights have never lifted weights "properly" (most personal trainers are not good teachers of either technique or intensity; it is a profession with a low barrier to entry) and have never seen the visible effects of lifting weights on their bodies.

It's hard to say "I don't like lifting weights" when people start complimenting your body and looking at your biceps, pecs, glutes, etc.

Humans alone? Maybe not today. Humans and those organisms joining forces? I don't see how that would make the danger lesser than the random walk of those organisms unaided.
They're saying that, rather than having school from 8am to 3pm and sports to 3pm to 5pm, you could have sports from 8am to 10am and school from 10am to 5pm, for example.

In other words, have the students who do optional activities come in early rather than stay late. Then only some students come in early instead of all of them.

Oh, don't get snarky. "Functional" air defence, whatever. It's just worth to filter out anything with the kind of air defence that's just dude with a machine-gun shooting in the air or something that wasn't operational or whatever.

Providing an example is always good for a substantial discussion.

> You should probably provide a timeline because I would just give examples from World War II or something and that would effectively "prove you wrong".

I don't suppose it's worth discussing anything that cannot be relatively safely considered as "modern warfare".

> which is incorrect, as you know

I don't, that's why I am asking.

> the US can launch missiles and take out air defence elements

Air defence is kinda also supposed to protect from missiles.

> the US has developed weapons platforms that can do so

Are you implying hypersonic missiles? They are relatively new and poorly tested, not even in serial production AFAIK.
> This is just speculation on my part but also perhaps instead of investing the money in the company it is better to just buy bonds for a better rate of return?

That is what I was trying to get an answer on. That is rooted on the premise that it needs to be a truthood/assumption that Microsoft's projects net them less than the risk free rate (which is 4.5%).

That seems low.
This is really what we've observed indeed!
The companies catering to later stage companies prefer to offer prepaid credits to their end users, or annual plans paid in advance that includes some prepaid usage than a full, non predictable usage based pricing.
I think in that case it's preferable for the end user, but also for the company, as their finance team can have more visibility on the upcoming revenue streams.
First World Problems much?
I'm sympathetic to OP, it's not that it's a conspiracy--it's the survival criteria of the system. It has to "work" as an institution to go on existing. Things that make the institution of education more effective tend to happen:

1. It has to be compatible with the modern system of employment (feat the 40hr workweek, generally a commute, workers who typically fit into many companies in standardized roles)

2. Opportunities to make it more efficient that don't run directly contrary to its stated goal of educating tend to happen, e.g. standardized testing. And because students move around and it's inefficient for everybody everywhere to invent their own curriculum, they need to be standardized.

3. It needs to be legible meritocratically, to its own existence and measure performance, and also to usefully input into the employment system.

https://nypost.com/2023/02/13/remote-work-costs-manhattan-12... (Remote work costs Manhattan $12.4 billion per year: report)

> Manhattan-based workers are spending at least $12.4 billion less per year than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic drove a shift toward remote work, according to calculations conducted by Stanford University economist Nicholas Bloom’s WFH Research group and reported by Bloomberg on Sunday.

> New York City Comptroller Brad Lander warned that the trend represents a risk to the tax revenue needed to maintain high-quality services.

> “If less income tax is being paid in New York City, then it’s hard to figure out how to capture enough value to maintain the subways and invest in the schools and keep the city safe and clean and all the things that really matter,” Lander told Bloomberg.

> Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly urged companies with a presence in Manhattan to require their workers to return to the office. Last April, he warned poor office attendance could hurt the city’s recovery.

> “It is a real concern,” Adams said. “We’re going to have to get to the table with all of our business leaders, our economists — and really, we can’t stumble into post-COVID.”

Lots of entrenched interests with incentives to require in office work. They see a piece of worker wages in their pocket already.
ChangeDrop - Opened waitlist for my new changelog and product updates platform
UI glitches, threads not scaling past a certain amount of comments, frequent undesired logouts, weird jumbled ordering of messages on the mobile app that eventually sorts itself out but leads to hilarious misinterpretation of conversations...

The worst part is how the phone app will scroll to the middle of the thread when I open one. I can understand how scrolling to either the top or bottom of the thread might make sense -- but who on earth wants the middle?
That's the entire purpose of the school system. To make them into workers that can produce value for companies.
Most disagreements really just boil down to what is the most important thing to be talking about. And I tend to side with the person who started the conversation because they had something to say.

> If you can be restored from simply doing a different task, then its not real burnout.

You're not wrong, it's just that you seem not to realize this statement was a "well actually", probably because you happen to agree with it.
Probably by hearing, touch, etc. - my point is some stimulus from reality, doesn't have to be any of our senses, just some stimulus.

And the more stimuli, and the more high resolution and detailed (say at the atomic level), the more GPT's model of reality would be accurate.

Language is just symbols that stand for a stimulus (in the best case)
OpenAI's privacy policy makes this a no go for me. DDG's privacy policy claims they do not log IP addresses, where as OpenAI collects info such as your phone number and logs your IP.

Privacy policies are only somewhat better than pinky promises, but in this case the promise is the main reason most people use DDG. I would not search on DDG if the privacy benefit was eliminated.

Private sports outside of school are too expensive for all but the well-off families. School sports are basically free for the participants, and they are good for kids' social development and physical health. Sports keeps many kids in high school, certainly if my oldest hadn't had cross-country and track he probably would have dropped out.

What if they disagree that it is in their interest? Is there any objective way to say whether something is in someone’s interest?

I'm surprised how few people seem to use the wheel as a middle-click button (eg, to open new tabs).

When I switched to a Logitech MX Anywhere it had no middle wheel click. I thought this was an absolute scandal - wasn't everyone using this!? Apparently not.

Amazing how some things we think are the status quo turn out not to be.
All good points. To be honest, I hate Twitter so I don't know if I'll be trying to share it on there, but I agree that promoting discussions is the way to go.

Has dang ever ruled on the appropriateness of this situation, where someone just redirects AI-generated output to their comment (absent any evaluative substance and on a digression from a digression fully unrelated to the discussion of AI)?

It strikes me as a bad-faith way to farm for low-effort internet points, but I'm just some idiot on the internet so I'll have to satisfy myself with a down-vote, a mild complaint, and a minute or two of wasted time.

It's pretty good at hedging its bets with the outrageous though. It gave me three methods of killing a cat before advising this was illegal and not a good idea, and had no qualms at all about explaining the good points of Hitler were his charisma and his investment in the autobahn system.

I think the more interesting bit is actually asking it generic questions on potentially edgy topics and comparing the difference in focus of the response. Ironically considering all the whinging about "liberal censorship" of the bot from some conservatives, it's the unfiltered responses that sometimes do things like take an overt pro-choice position(!) or characterise the Republican party as "supporting the interests of the wealthy and big business [and] opposing progress on civil rights, LGBTQ rights and environmental protection" and if there's any difference in the responses it's the unfiltered one that sounds a bit closer to the median redditor...
Sure, but then you're talking 10,000 ft or more. The pressure differential between 2,200 ft and 775 ft is much smaller. It's possible some folks' ears popped, but IMO unlikely that they would've attributed it to a steep descent. Instead I'd expect folks chalked it up to the cabin pressurizing if they even noticed. If passengers noticed and thought there was something wrong this would've made news much sooner.

I presume due to the lower partial pressure of oxygen.

Probably the lower oxygen content. My pilot friend claimed to have raised the cabin altitude a smidge back in the DC-10 days if FAs complained about e.g. noisy babies. I assume he's full of shit, but you never know.
It's possible the patent troll spooked some investors and caused them to back out.

> Three - grade people into quality batches, based off their punctuality and ability to perform meaningless tasks to arbitrary and meaningless quality standards

For example, doing math is a useful skill, not a meaningless task.

> Four - because the management has gone though the same system of education, the pupils must learn to read through poorly worded vague instructions and understand what their superior actually wants to see, even though they are not capable of expressing it clearly. Poorly worded exam papers serve as good training

There is a lot of nuance to English communication, at least among native speakers. Things like active/passive voice, hyperbole, and different kinds of logical arguments are implicit to communication in professional circles. It's important to study them.

Also you're ignoring the cultural education that studying literature/writing provides you. There are tons of literary references in everyday communication and you will be at a disadvantage if you don't know them (a "Scarlet Letter", "Big Brother", etc.). These stories are foundational to Western culture and you are expected to know them.
