It's not so much the concept that's bad as the proposed execution. Bold the amount that came from tax next to the total on the receipt or similar, it'll have the same effect without requiring people agree it's more important than knowing what the actual price of something is going to be.
Not sure about managers, but (more) senior technical staff and team leaders are supposed to mentor the less experienced technical staff.

Whether or not it happens seems to depend on the team. Personally, I like teaching people new stuff so it would often fall to me, on the teams I worked in. ;)
The games situation is interesting but not something PC gaming seems to be facing.

Personally I think the current $2000+ flagships is way way closer to catering to "handful of whales" than you attribute. The middle tier offerings cost unbelievable amounts too. Old cards are often mot that much worse; Nvidias biggest new schtick is that they have DLSS upscaling, which they allege cant work on older hardware, but there are already some hacks doing just that.
I think your explanation of how such a resistance might occur is a bit too simplified

It's a reasonable assumption that bacteria in the wild have been under pressure to increase the likelihood of developing resistance genes as an adaptation to organisms producing antibiotics in nature

This is a selective pressure that has been applied for millions of years and is likely the reason for anti-biotic resistance being able to develop independently over a relatively short timespan

With a synthetic class of antibiotics there would not have been a pressure to increase the likelihood of resistance genes developing against this particular class of drugs

As an example, soap and surface disinfectants have been in use for a long time, but to my knowledge resistance to those compounds have not develop in bacteria, despite being used much more frequently than antibiotics
When a parameter switches between radically different interpretations along its value range, it's sometimes useful to have a reasonable transition area to eliminate the abrupt change.

The problem for san Francisco is that they just attract more homeless whenever they try to help them. You can not solve poverty in a single city with open borders, you need to solve it for the whole state/country. Especially if the city has a temperate climate that attracts homeless anyway.

As an aside: The big cities in the Netherlands also have some of the poorest neighborhoods in the country. If you pick a random smaller town/city it is likely to have less poverty than Amsterdam, (but also less wealthy residents).
Building one hospital costs the same no matter how many hospitals are already in the country, or am I wrong? Because of this, if the USA has 23 times as much money as the Netherlands they should be able to build 23 times as many hospitals as the Netherlands. (Or am I wrong??)

‘Metroid Prime Remastered’ Review: A Reminder of a Bolder Era of Games
Building means downloading dependencies means an ever-growing module cache with no ability to prune it.
The 5 day workweek and 8-hour workday weren't won that long after unvarying (same job every day, same amount every day, no seasonal variation) optimized cog-in-a-machine industrial wage labor started to not just exist, but be common.

Incidentally, a ton of early cinema (1900-1930, say) is very concerned about the dehumanizing effects of industrial (and office!) work, and the anti-social lost-in-the-crowd effects of cities (usually contrasted with rural or small town living) which nonetheless draw the masses with promises of money and glamor. Those seem to have been their major anxieties, in this realm of thinking.
This looks like a good replacement for most of what I do in fusion360, but one operation I'm not sure about is importing an existing SVG file and using it for sketch geometry, say, to put an embossed logo onto something. In looking through the Replicad docs, the only SVG references I saw were about exporting.

Is this something people have done with Replicad? Perhaps with an additional lib for parsing SVG into a set of 2D curves?
I think a lot of commonwealth countries are realizing now that allowing questionable foreigners to park their questionably acquired wealth into assets might have artificially have boosted their countries perceived prosperity, but was no substitute to real economic growth based on innovation.

It's a painful to take a look at cities like London and Vancouver and compare them to SF and Seattle.
I think a lot of comments here are missing the reason as to why these hidden fees have become so much more prevalent in the past 20 or so years. The short of it is that comparison pricing is now much easier to do because of the Internet, and many, if not a majority, of shoppers will just sort by price ascending and pick the first result (or, only pick from the first couple results).

Thus, there is a huge incentive for companies to lower the base price and then get it back with these types of fees. Even if they didn't add BS fees, this ease of price comparison has resulted in unbundling of services in a number of industries - e.g. airlines where the base price is akin to "we let you hang on to the wing", and everything else is an upcharge.

This is also a case where consumers say they want one thing, but their behavior is a different matter. For example, pretty much everyone says they prefer the full price to be shown up front in search result pages. But, as someone who is privy to a ton of A/B testing in this area, the opposite nearly always results in higher conversion, where there is a lower up-front price and fees are only tacked on during checkout.

To be clear, I'm 100% in favor of this regulation because I think it's the perfect example of where what is good for any individual company leads to a dysfunctional market, and so government can provide a level playing field. Heck, I think many businesses would support this change, because they no longer need to try to one-up their competitors by overcomplicating their pricing structure.
I'm not skeptical or unskeptical. I just don't understand. My guess is that there's no construction if you understand what they are saying.

> If you're using ULAs, you don't NAT to avoid addressing collisions; you NAT so that your traffic is routable on the Internet.

Note that "IPv6 NAT" really should be NPTv6:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6-to-IPv6_Network_Prefix_Tr...

It allows for 1:1 mapping of external IPv6 addresses to internal IPv6 addresses, without the silliness of port mapping and such.

Of course your firewall/network device can still have a default-deny rule so that only responses to internally-initiated requests get through. Stateful firewalls are still effective (and were invented before NAT).

You can do that without making them do all the paperwork. For nearly all taxpayers the IRS already knows how much you owe, and can give you a return that is already filled out. But people like Grover Norquist believe that anything that makes paying taxes easier will cause people to become more accepting of taxation in the first place. So we all need to suffer the pain of filling out a return from scratch, to make sure we have the right attitude towards taxes.

Nobody is having the information hidden from them in any case. Even pre-filled from the IRS, it would be right in front of you.
I just don't understand the incentive and it seems like it would end up as a race to the bottom, no?

Perhaps maybe its a good starting point for developers or those just wanting smooth sailing... but for others... why stay in a "system" with a low ceiling? They could take a risk and create a startup and earn much more.

>We all know what products companies/individuals would pay for, because we used to build/buy them.

Regarding this. I _wish_ it were that easy. If it were, I would just spin up a consulting business, lol. Its probably the case SDEs know more about what the client needs than the client itself does... but getting them to pay for something new is incredibly difficult.

I guess at the end of the day, I don't believe you could throw 100 talented people in a room and just expect results to start happening. I would love to join this as an experiment though.
> Cedar has nothing to do with AWS except that it's open sourced by AWS

It seems to me it's a tool made in AWS by some team close to AWS IAM. My original comment didn't relate that much to Cedar itself. Rather, I tried to express my long held frustration with AWS IAM which Cedar doesn't solve even though it must have costed a lot of effort.

Don't worry too much about it. I'm just a random Internet commenter talking about a topic that's not even mentioned in the original article but tangentially connected.
Haha, that's a good point. Plus it might trigger someone's KPI dashboard or something. I'll call and complain next time around
This doesn't track for me at all, and I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding the point.

The mere presence of another person in the room, whether they're contributing and providing feedback or not, generates idea after idea for me. Some of the best ideas I've had have come from sitting in my living room watching my roommate play Rocket League, with us occasionally discussing the game. It feels so difficult and pointless and uninspiring alone that I've considered hiring an intern or apprentice just to sit there in the studio with me.

> As painful as it is, any creation happens in isolation without any signals or external validation until it’s complete.

This is the exact opposite of my experience writing lyrics. We're all constantly bouncing ideas off of each other, immediately and repeatedly. Speaking the lyrics out loud to someone else to gauge how they'll be received in a song is a go-to method in my circle. And if that's just revision and not creation, well, most of my song ideas stem from random phrases spoken out loud to someone in conversation.

> While you’re reading this, creative people are working hard now across the world on the next novel, movie, or song you’ll love, and yet, you don’t know anything about it, and they don’t know if you’ll like it either.

I guess this is saying that artists generally don't share half-complete ideas, which is true, but that's because audiences don't do well with filling in the gaps on their own, not because "creation happens in silence". Creation is collaborative and chaotic.

If you think I'm misreading this article please let me know! It's a real head scratcher.

edit: one exception comes to mind - I'm only inspired around others, but when there's a musical problem to be solved (e.g. how do we go from the chorus to the bridge), we all tend to retreat into our heads to work out possible ideas instead of playing them out loud for people and seeing what sticks.
SAG doesn't require a degree in screen acting. It's a little convoluted but they basically operate mainly on proof of work. That sort of system would probably give self taught engineers who spent their years from 18-22 doing actual work a huge leg up compared to those who were in school during that time doing no work on any projects for any company.

Pipx uses the ecosystem standard of "make a venv" and it just exposes the binary entrypoint of what you installed.

This is the kind of response that makes back-end devs fume. "Why is our website going down with 100x the users we had last week? You guys must have built it incorrectly.".
"it" is what USER wants, as opposite to customer. One of the key takeaways from the article should be that in B2B the customer is often is not the user.
highly materialistic? look at the hindu sages in INdia, completely content and happy within themselves and they are not matieralistic, the western concept of happiness is chase all your sense to make sure you are happy above everything else
My experience is the same as yours. However I think these fees are still hidden in the sense that they're not part of the rate that's advertised everywhere, shown in the thumbnail on the hotel website, etc. It would be better if we could just trust that the advertised price would be the actual price.
A co-op can mean a lot of things, but in particular it means an employee-owned business. For all of the reasons not to get behind the idea of a company without a billionaire at the top, the Hobbesian faith in the monarch could be the worst one.

The functional difference between a co-op and a normal business could be as small as having a board that is informed (because the shareholders are employees and naturally very informed), and that doesn't go for the usual extreme comp levels at the top.

I'd hope not every month! But even if taxes changed yearly is that really a large burden? How many things even stay in the same shelf at the same price for 1 year straight as it is, how many dozens of times was that shelf already restocked and inventoried compared to how often the price tag would need to be replaced due to taxes changing?

Given this example, the ratio in square miles US to NL is approximately 237 / 1. So 23x the money and 237x the size leads to one order of magnitude less money per square mile when comparing the two situations.

Yet followup papers often invent new methods of attack https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/695. It's almost as if theoretical advances can change the unproven-yet-assumed strength of previous methods.

>Which type of RNG should be the default (e.g. the one you get if you type 'import rng')

I already demonstrated that answer is PRNG for pretty much all widely use languages, which I agree with. There's simply no CSPRNG possible that ports over the widespread systems these languages are used for, so it's silly to continue to argue that they should default to a CSPRNG. CSPRNGs are not used by default, have never been, there is no trend to move that way I can find, all for the reasons I gave my very first reply in this thread.

I agree that Canada is more polarized in recent years. I wouldn’t say within my lifetime as Quebec sovereignty was more of a dividing issue (we’re not at the point were politicians are being murdered).

That said, if immigration was becoming a major issue then you would see shifts in the electorate backing say the People’s Party that performed dismally in the last federal election.

Could that change? Sure. But it would have to be via the Conservatives and that’s a risky policy shift for them to make.
Like quite a lot of guilds and unions, the actor's guild started out by defending workers rights against a restrictive system (in that case, the Hollywood studio system) but has evolved into a gatekeeping and rent-seeking organization that primarily enriches its senior members and hurts everyone else.

We really, really don't want that in tech. Tech is one of the few segments of the economy where skill trumps credentials and connections for people entering the field. As a result, tech benefits from a lot of talent that would be ignored by more traditional methods of filtering candidates.

And what would tech workers gain? Unions don't stop layoffs -- look at the past few decades in the auto industry for proof. Unions would also negotiate standard pay packages that might be attractive to low performers, but would hold high performers back. Plus, severance packages are already legally mandated for layoffs in the places where the majority of tech workers live.
interesting article, I have to give that a try! :D

One ting is that while getting the value of running pretrained model weights like OPT-175B, there are also a potential downsides to using pre-trained models, such as the need to fine-tune the model to your specific task, potential compatibility issues with your existing infrastructure (integration ) , and the possibility that the pre-trained model may not perform as well as a model trained specifically on your data. Ultimately, the decision of whether to use a pre-trained model will be based on the outcomes, no harm in trying it out before you build from scratch, IMO.

The estate of the author does not have legitimate authority to change a dead authors work to increase its commercial appeal. They can legally do so, but I don't accept the legitimacy of this. The only exception is when it's implicitly or explicitly clear the author would have supported doing this, and even then I wouldn't suggest it but I wouldn't automatically call it illegitimate and would have to consider the context.

If I write some great novel and then my asshole grandson decides to stop distributing the original and starts distributing a rewrite he feels will sell more copies I'll haunt his ass. I refused to watch the C.S. Lewis film adaptions because they were against the authors explicit wishes and there's a difference between having the legal right to do something and the moral right to do something.

I recall that Roald Dahl LOATHED the changes to his story in the film version of Willa Wonka and refused to sell the rights to the sequel so I wouldn't at all take it for granted that he would have supported such extensive edits. If there's doubt if an author would have supported you editing their book, you should play it safe and not edit a dead authors book! If you must change it - you must continue distributing the original or make the original public domain to retain any SEMBLANCE of legitimacy.

A major foundational idea of this piece seems to be that population leveling and/or decline is a bad thing. But, I'm not sure it really is. Where does this idea come from?

I know that some allowances need to be planned for regarding the economy, but it is obvious that indefinite/infinite population growth is not desirable nor tenable.
It's pretty clear at this point that Google's bigness is holding it back.

Milking money from ads is all they can do. Innovation is very hard when everything has to go through many layers of approvals and there are constant re-orgs. People are fighting over small slices of the pie, rather than growing the pie.

If the ad money stops rolling in, Google is done.

Smaller, more agile companies are usually where innovation comes from. Google accomplished most of the good things it did when it was small.
Until software companies acknowledge that the loss of productivity is due to overengineering and technical debt gumming up the machinery, the problem will not be fixed. It's not a people problem, it's very much an engineering problem.

Unfortunately when you're high up the management ladder, every problem looks like a people problem.
Those people have a huge leg up right now in large swaths of the industry anyway.
