This seems unlikely to work and in fact probably exacerbates a bunch of issues:

- it's impossible to collaborate across org boundaries. If each org has their own budget/staff/salaries and their sole source of income are claimed bounties, there is no incentive to contribute one iota of work that isn't related to a bounty they can claim. You can of course split bounties but a) then you have interminable fights about the exact way bounties should be split, and b) the meta-game likely still rewards only pursuing bounties that one's org can achieve by themselves, causing orgs to refuse to collaborate.

- orgs will become more and more short-term focused since claiming bounties is critical to survival. A smaller bounty that can be claimed in 4 months is better than a larger bounty that can be claimed with 2 years of work. This is extra true if the orgs compete with each other - your odds of being pre-empted is lower with a 4 month bounty than a 2 year bounty, where you can burn a ton of work only to get beat by another org. The meta-game will almost certainly heavily favor fast small features rather than long-term work, and will absolutely preclude self-disruption type projects that are both time-consuming and risky.

You can, of course, insert some layer of managerial judgment into this to offset the meta-incentive flaws in the system - so you can force investment in long-term projects and force inter-org collaboration, etc. But at that point you've replicated a traditional corporate structure, just with "bounties" in place of "promotions".

But most importantly a bounty-based system doesn't solve the core problem here: who makes decisions about the company's products?

In a bounty-based system like you describe, there would be some kind of central cabal that issues bounties - in essence determining what products and features should be built. But then you have some pretty obvious issues:

- does the central cabal know enough about the product domains to be the most qualified to make these determinations? Or will the products suffer because the cabal doesn't understand the product's domains deeply enough to make smart decisions about it? Does it not make intuitive sense that the people building the product knows more about it than a group of far-removed decision makers? How do you consider the views of those who are closest to the product and most keenly aware of its tactical needs, in balance with the views of those who are furthest, but have more inter-product and strategic knowledge?

- besides the problems of the cabal knowing what should be built, how does the cabal know what can be built? It is entirely possible for the cabal to issue bounties that are unimplementable (give me a system that can diagnose cancers with a 0% error rate!). Besides the challenges of a highly centralized product org knowing what the market wants, they would have little way of knowing what is expedient or efficient for the company to achieve.

Again, you can insert some layer of managerial judgment into this to offset the problems here, but again you'd end up replicating a traditional corporate structure.
Yes; there can't be any other possible explanation than a bait and switch from Elon to collapse field communication for the Ukrainian people. Damn you Elon Musk!
One thing that really came into focus for me once I got into my 40s and had had a chance to see all different manner of successful and dysfunctional teams from many different vantage points is that any binary assessment of an org as good or bad is overly reductive. Most orgs have good sides and bad sides, and a mature perspective is to either do what one can do improve the bad parts, or cut bait and find a new org. I realize this is a privileged perspective, but competent software engineers have options. I truly believe that if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem—not in a malicious way, but systemic dysfunction is far more common than malintent, so if you truly see no path in contributing towards a better work environment then what are you doing with your life?
Note that some of these ppl also work to reduce carbon emissions at a macro scale. I do not know the size of that impact
> they will be contacted by people who can't afford the price

Not really. Some people will, sure, but most people will assume they can't afford it (which, if they have to ask, are correct).

> The wast majority of businesses who don't publish a price are not serving enterprise clients.

Where are you getting this information? The reason to expend time and energy with salespeople doing personal demo calls is to get enterprise clients, otherwise it's a waste to do all of that for someone paying a 100 bucks a month.
"Good" as in they can do anything slowly. A7x boxes won't struggle.
Keyloggers are nothing like chattel slavery. Melodramatic comparisons make labor advocates sound unreasonable. It’s fine to push for less intrusive performance monitoring on its own merits.
I think there's something challenging to put my finger on about India, which is something like:

"When you have an overall country atmosphere where you (even if you are conscientious and care) think others are not conscientious and do not care, then you will come to not be conscientious and care either."

So there is an effect where enough people disobey rules or lack standards, that eventually no one follows the rules. Traffic is ridiculous because no one obeys the rules, manufacturing is subpar because no one thinks anyone else will care (or will put up with shoddy deliveries).

And this is not some racist / cultural prejudice. It is totally changeable. The evidence I have here is that people from India, when living in the US, completely adapt and become "positive rule-wanting people". There is something about a critical mass of rule-breakers that sends a system into a negative spiral. As others said, probably China was like that too at some time in the recent past. And even the US was (or might become) this way.

The opposite effect is also in force: when you live in Japan, for example, even as a visitor, and see that no one is littering on the public streets, even when they do not provide trash cans, you don't litter either. But let a certain viral % of rule breakers take hold, and if your group culture does not value what is being broken, you can descend into a loss of discipline.

Again, this is not some prejudice -- it is a human factors / malleable / totally changeable thing. But it will take decades I think. And have lots of forces trying to stop it from improving. Sometimes I think you need to create an isolated bubble where enough people agree and see how it can work, to propagate it elsewhere. Otherwise the forces of mediocrity pull you back down into chaos.

A little story to give you an idea:

I rode a bike on our quiet neighborhood streets when I was about 12. I was returning a rented video game back to the store. I generally stayed to the side of the main lane, where cars are typically parked on the street. However, in one area, cars were parked, so I had to go around them.

In spite of me going slowly, and not making any kind of darting move - I gradually moved over and looked over my shoulder for many seconds before I came towards the parked cars - someone behind me yelled a curse word at me as they passed me and flipped me off.

I had the sheer audacity of riding a bike on a street.

# # #

Sidewalks are not really intended for riding bikes, but that was the only place I felt somewhat safe riding them, other than the dedicated walking and bike paths that stretched around the outside of our city and did not get to within half a mile of my high school.

And riding a bike as a 16 year old from December 1 - March 15 through likely multiple inches of snow on the ground, and certainly on icy conditions? No way. The big puffy tires that are somewhat popular today in winter were something I hadn't even heard of in the 1990s.

Edit: and as other commenters mentioned, no bike lanes. Bike lanes on a road in that city were not present until 2012, many years after I was in high school, and even now are being questioned by the mayor of the city: https://www.kfyrtv.com/2022/05/30/safe-biking-routes-bismarc...

So... no, it was not an option. If I had suggested it, my parents, friends, classmates, and teachers would likely all have tried to talk me out of it.
Serial was probably the first "killer app" of podcasting, with an episodic look at a crime that they (arguably) had a hand in reversing the decision for. Every bit of True Crime podcasting owes something to Serial, and it was a normie-friendly product that wasn't being published anywhere else, in any other formats. Journalists also bigged it up, which meant it got a lot of hype, as well.
You've linked to an implementation full of hand-written SIMD, I'm not sure that's a great comparison one way or the other.

Which is my biggest gripe with benchmark games. There really ought to be strict categories for "straightforward, idiomatic code someone with 3 YoE could write", "optimized-but-still maintainable code an experienced senior engineer would write", and "unrestricted wizardry".
Hm, FWIW, I'm more on your side than not - I don't want to be locked out of customizing my devices. That's why I have GrapheneOS on my phone, and I think phone manufacturers may have gone too far in the overprotective side. I was only arguing that the correct path is somewhere in the middle, not a total abdication of responsibility by the manufacturer.
And even if they did have those resources quite a few of the possible outcomes of such investigations would be considered unprintable if you wanted to stay in your job (or even in Turkey).
I don't know if there is an implication here that I don't get, but I don't see the connection between this answer and the question I asked.
There’s also S-Town¹, from Serial (and This American Life). If you’re on the fence regarding its runtime², I recommend listening to the first two chapters in full and reevaluate then. So far, everyone I gave that recommendation to gladly stuck with it.

TIL I learned that we should feel bad for the Russian soldiers being blown up, and not the thousands of Ukrainian citizens, including children, that Russian soldiers have blown up.
We had some Indian devs in a subsidiary for years, and that absolutely tracks.

Cross-cultural communication is an actual field of study, you know? But in this case, with the unwillingness to say "no", it's a killer. We ended up cutting them loose because even though they were cheaper per hour than US-based resources, we couldn't make the progress we needed to make. One US dev because 3, and that became a whole team, and that's how we decided to continue.
Look up SongShift app, might be of some use. I was able to successfully migrate my playlists out of Spotify and into AppleMusic seamlessly.
The Italian equivalent is 'sanification', so yes.
Certainly not premature.
idk why anybody thinks tesla is a car brand that's trying to solve climate change when obviously they're trying to be luxury car brand and nothing else.
Is “microservice” too watered down to be a useful term?
I've been searching for a clear consensus definition of microservices for 3+ years, and still have none, just gazillion pet definitions. Stored Procedures "count" under some candidate definitions but not others. Same with Linux piping.

Some emphasize technology, others emphasize org structure/management. "How to modularize properly" is an age old problem that involves many factors & tradeoffs, domain experience, and knowing Conway's Law. Can this vocabulary problem be cleaned up? I'm boggled, your turn...
>Essentially a "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

Not quite. It's more like "a gun cannot be held morally responsible for its actions, so actual people should".

The difference is important here because, depending on the situation, you might still want to blame people who allowed the shooter to have a gun, not just the shooter.

>I think this argument breaks down as weapons get more powerful, e.g. if I could walk down to my local car dealership and buy a cheap tank powerful enough to level a city, it seems good to focus more on "ease of tank purchase" than "culpability for tank drivers". // I think the argument also breaks down as AI gets more powerful.

Note how we're still blaming people: the car dealer and the driver. Not the "it" = tank.

And it's the same deal with the AI. If you use an AI system in a way that harms people, sometimes the "car dealer" (the ones coding the AI) should be held responsible, sometimes the driver (you), sometimes both. But never "neither", i.e. "the AI is at fault".
Ah! Glad you liked my talk :)
What is ChatGPT doing and why does it work?
I have a hard time believing this.
It may be the final straw, but I'm not sure it's the proximate cause. A nice boy doesn't wake up one day and decide to steal a car for fun - there's a lot of indoctrination leading up to that before he even considers himself capable of such an act.
Very cool, here's my loop :) https://peel.fm/f3148e6

Now we need more instruments and collab editing and you have fruity loops online :)
You want a large language model. This gives you a large language model.
Why are you suddenly switching to a different topic? You made pretty strong claims about bans on new ICEs will lead to "killing of unproductives". Are you admitting that you were deliberately hyperbolic and attempting to derail the conversation? Or do you seriously believe in your previous points?
I don’t see a reason to even report money being literally wasted in my current jobs.

There is an unused cloud service burning money at one of my jobs. Tens of thousands kind of money. Make a case for me even bothering to tell someone about it.

You can’t.
> At the very least, I would want to assume any civilization capable of interstellar travel to be at least 1000 years ahead of us, technologically.

My guess is that we'll be able to develop human-level artificial intelligence a lot sooner than 1000 years from now.

At which point it would be a lot easier to send AI probes to explore the galaxy and/or make first contact with another civilization than to build a generation ship.
Yupp the song that was playing during the escort in the storm part was great. They did decide to replace it with something completely different for Anniversary interestingly.
> There is a big correlation of social media/cell phone access and issues.

Social media is a convenient scapegoat. The media hates it with a passion since it completely disrupted their business model. And it allows people to completely ignore the fact that teenagers are increasingly under more and more stress with high stake testing, an increasingly competitive college admission process and increasingly grim prospects for economic mobility and long term environmental sustainability. But let's ignore all that and blame the "evil screens" and social media.

> comparing yourself to others, drama, all have one consistent source, social media and cell phone apps.

In 2018 "obesity prevalence was [...] 21.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds." [0] according to the CDC. That's one out of 5 being obese, not just overweight. And it has more than tripled since the 70's [1]. I have to wonder if it's related. A lot of teenagers are bombarded with images of perfectly healthy bodies that, quite simply, won't match what they see in the mirror.

That's too bad.

It was pretty easy to write off Windows 3.1, and continue to be a solid solution on MS-DOS and with Netware, etc.

But Windows 95 had a lot of fanfare in advance that suggested it would have much better uptake. And Windows NT in parallel was developing a credible foundation, and it got the "new shell" as an option around the time of Win95. My recollection at the time was that the writing should've been on the wall, that Windows was going to be the Microsoft platform.

If WordPerfect was slow to move, that's a bad combination with, er, not as direct of access to the platform teams.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to retire at end of term
Welders have plenty of experience to contradict it. UV-C is usually blocked by the atmosphere, and most people don't get exposed to it directly - so it rarely comes up. But if you're sitting next to a UV-C generator, don't.

It cleaves DNA the same as UV-B, and there is no reason to think it isn't cancer causing. There are a number of areas that can get exposed that have very thin epidermis, or none at all (eyes), though eyes would get retinal keratosis not cancer.

That said, hopefully no one is spending enough time close to a high enough power UV-C source for this to REALLY be a problem.

Welding Cite - [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5640727/]

Notably, while having a higher skin cancer risk despite being inside a lot (shop welders, not shipyard welders), the vast majority of welders in that sampled population will have been wearing heavy protective clothing continuously. There was a noticeable increase in risk of skin cancer on the neck, which is one of the few areas that is not always adequately covered.

Anecdotally, I knew folks who didn't wear proper full coverage PPE when welding and welded a lot (auto body repair in one case, farm equipment repair in another), and both died in their early 40's from multiple malignant melanomas. One of them, it was 10+ all at once, and he died in less than a year. No one was surprised, unfortunately. They were ALWAYS sunburned from it, and they didn't spend a huge amount of time outside otherwise. That is a pretty broad spectrum source though.

UV-C As Potentially Mutagenic/Causing Damage not caught by normal replication suppression mechanisms - [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9951833/]

UV-C will also have no problem converting all sorts of organic chemicals into interesting, and often more toxic versions (albeit killing any organisms relying on their original structure in the process), same as UV-B or UV-A.
It’s Just Adding One Word at a Time

I'm curious how do you write?
While this is really cool the setup guide feels like a lot of work and headache for an app that's already running in your browser in step 1.
Easily the case for me around the NYC area. I biked recreationally both within the city and in Jersey on more country roads. The fear of getting hit in both scenarios eventually became to big for me, and I picked less dangerous forms of exercise. It's a shame as I never felt as free as when I was tooling around on my bike
Why do you suspect it’s cultural?
The environmental movement wants people to pay the actual costs they incur on the world. If that means lifestyle sacrifices, so be it.
From a search engine, the first major commercial application two of the largest tech giants have decided to apply this new technology to? Why yes, yes I do.

From LLMs, no. Not at all.
Sometimes I copy and paste so maybe that counts as something different

I'm even afraid of walking because of cars. Last week when crossing a driveway near where I live, twice a car blasted through the pedestrian crosswalk without even looking.

Drivers are out of control and are blissfully (or willfully) unaware of the dangers they pose to others.
> Isn't that what bcc: was invented for?

Meta question:

How many folks, or at what age cut-off, know what the "CC" stands for? And how many know where the 'carbon copy' term comes from?

For those that don't know:

> A sheet of carbon paper is placed between two or more sheets of paper. The pressure applied by the writing implement (pen, pencil, typewriter or impact printer) to the top sheet causes pigment from the carbon paper to reproduce the similar mark on the copy sheet(s). More than one copy can be made by stacking several sheets with carbon paper between each pair. Four or five copies is a practical limit. The top sheet is the original and each of the additional sheets is called a carbon copy.

Consider also that Americans are quite high on the list of people with the largest carbon footprint compared to the rest of the world.
They'll just have to chime in and clarify which pathogens they meant.

I was snarky because the idea of "exercising the immune system" is misinformation and used by "immunity debt" proponents.
To be honest, a private jet is probably the only extravagance I would acquire if I was wealthy. I wouldn't buy a luxury car, a giant mansion (although I would buy a nice house, with an inground pool), a yacht, expensive art at Sotheby's auctions, or any other item beyond the reach of a household from the upper middle class. I would rather have a Xbox Series X than a Rembrandt, or a bag of M&M's than a plate of caviar.

But I probably wouldn't use it on more than one occasion a month on average, where the return trips are counted in the occasion.
Sometimes it is just an app that knows where the streams are, and sometimes there is a devices attestation certificate burned into a TPM. The latter you are probably not going to hack, and even if you could, the various pirate IPTV providers will provide it for less cost if you value your time at minimum wage.
Steam works fine on my M1.
You seem to think he has the biggest show in the world but yet nobody actually watches him? Of course it got downvoted vehemently because he has a huge audience and his audience likes him. Not to mention all the misinformation that is constantly being spread about him leads people to want to defend him. Not rocket science.
I play Counterstrike GO, and it was the thing holding me back from abandoning windows.

I (use to) play daily so there was no point ever booting up into linux.

As soon as linux support came out, I started playing under it immediately, and quickly realised that there was no point booting up into windows anymore.
I've heard it as Asian cultures in general, being conformist. For example, I've heard the same from Japanese devs who have to save the face of their superiors, and in Chinese manufacturing as well.
This is a great idea, it's basically curated prompting / curated interactive storytelling experiences, but the actual execution they demo'd seems really shit?

I guess that's because the only way Buzzfeed quizzes are positive ROI is if the quiz-maker can design the quiz in like 3 minutes and publish it. Which isn't meant to be a criticism, just a guess at the actual economics of their content writing costs and returns on quiz content.

Or perhaps it's like a hackathon project and just using it to gauge interest before investing more dev time?
I spend a lot of time fantasizing about what building a city "from scratch" would look like.

It's a painful problem to actually make it happen because cities are all about network effects (you live there because people you know are there, etc). I just think it would be very appealing to me to live in a city that is optimized for biking + walking instead of having to own a car.

If I were ever to get rich, this would be an area I'd throw funding at to figure out. Is anybody aware of any research in this area?
It feels like this A.I. fad is being shoved into everything these days, from search bots to Seinfeld, and seemingly people are looking for the least practical ways of using this stuff, a bit like how blockchain is still a solution looking for a problem. But spreadsheet formula assistance feels like one of the few places where this might actually be a useful addition (if it indeed does what it says on the tin and stops short of hallucinating formulas that don't exist). I'd be curious to know whether the team behind this feature is doing anything to actively stop it from doing so, by vetting the return values from GPT-3 in some way.
