King Arthur: I am your king.

Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.

Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Arthur: Be quiet!

Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cos some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Wired should know better.

Microsoft is not removing IE from 'personal computers'. MD is removing from machines running Windows.

None of my Linux machines are affected, and damn straight are personal machines.

Edit: for those of you who downvoted, I'm tired of having personal computers meaning only MS windows. There's those of us who are Mac users and Linux users both. By making "PC" as windows only is removing the rest of us.
We need something for pricing dishes differently based on pick-up or delivery. Stop hiding the actual cost of delivery in the prices of the dishes! You shouldn't have to look at two different menus to figure out how much delivery costs.
Ok, show me a single example of this model working for a software business that makes a profit. Just one.

I honestly can't find any.
> Which example? I gave 7.

IMO Improvistional Theatre is the only valid example here, the other 6 IMO are silent and I will explain why:

1. Music - Done mainly in ones own head, drawing on personal experience and skill to find something which fits with what you are hearing. The process may not be silent, but the creation is.

2. Stand up comedy - The writing/creation is done by the comedian alone, then when workshopping in front of a live audience they assessing the material against the reactions, and adjusting it in their brain silently. An audience reacting is not creating anything, it is informing the creative process going on in the brain.

3. Literature has editors and friends who read drafts - again all the creation is done in silence. Feedback may be given verbally, but that informs the creation, it is not part of it.

4. Product development - This is not artistic creation. It is commerical development. The initial idea and creation is most likely done by an inventor/designer on their own in silence. It is commercial requirements which push this into the further areas of development as you suggest.

I fully accept this is a subjective opinion so I am not stating you are wrong, only how other people can have different opinions based on perspective of what creation, the creative process, and indeed silence actually is.

You must have miscounted because I cant find another 2?
You're looking for a digitization archivist; this is a bit small scale though - generally collections are larger.
Russia says it will fast-track testing of tank-killing robot in Ukraine
Yes, that is true. The other thing that is true is complete lack of accountability for managers.

They can lack social skill, be rude, be incompetent, slow the project to and make it ineffective. And many still keep failing upwards.

There are good managers, it is not they don't exist. But bad ones are way more frequent then should be. People completely unsuitable for leadership keep staying managers despite destruction they cause.
Who is subsidising car ownership: the people in the metro areas of course. Huge amounts of infrastructure spending go on suburban sprawl, which is only useful to people who live in the suburban sprawl and who must own cars to do so.
> signed a partnership deal with Hong Kong Aerospace Technology to build a facility to launch satellites and rockets in the northern Obock region.

Yeah, sure. In 5 years we will know if it worked out and how the debts can't be repaid.

I'm wondering what will be asked in return... => One road one belt debt trap, all over again.

Luckily, Africa can repay China with natural resources or ports... In case of Djibouti ( where this will be build), it's the main ship access to the Indian ocean.

And the deal seems to be 25% of their GDP in 2018. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djibouti

What a coincidence.

Edit: but let's hope for the best. Since it's more than 1 country participating in it. I have my doubts though, let's hope I'm wrong.
It's the same for me: the eureka moment happens when I'm not consciously thinking of the problem at all, and often I'm fully engaged in an unrelated activity.

Some places I've experienced sudden insight for a technical problem:

* playing a video game on Saturday evening

* briefly awake at 3am to use the bathroom

* shopping for tea kettles on Amazon

* reading aloud in a writer's group

The idea just pops into my head, sometimes throwing me off the task I'm actually focused on. I assume there's a subconscious portion of my brain still calculating the problem even when I don't realize it, but I can see why some people believe their insights come from a higher power.
For the rider, but I don't think they are more dangerous to the other people.

Interestingly, all the AppleScript functionality is built on an objective-c api called ScriptingBridge and it’s relatively easy to use a real programming language for the same sorts of things. JavaScript is natively supported by Script Editor, but there’s bindings for Ruby and Python too. I’ve wrapped it up in Common Lisp for my own use: https://github.com/fiddlerwoaroof/objc-lisp-bridge/blob/mast...
Or maybe too many people got hired by some guy in a hoodie because they were afraid any talented people they didn’t hire would work for a startup that puts them out of business or that they feel they need to spend $15 billion to buy so they don’t face competition.
My point is that pretty much every business is an example of what a co-op could do, because the differences are small on an operational level. It's an ownership structure, not a management structure.

It's engaging critical thinking around the use of AI tools. Which is not a super valuable place to be applying that critical thinking. I feel like this is the equivalent of asking students in the 60s and 70s to learn to use a complicated machine that made punch cards for programming, and to apply critical thinking to the operation of the punch machine. They should be focusing on the the end product itself (writing, or software development in my example) instead of AI tools (punch machines) that will be obsolete very soon.
I agree, the total average per night cost should be displayed in the same price on the initial search results.
How would you achieve similar comp in the system OP describes?
It'd be interesting to see how the Skeptics and other bias-aware groups perform. It's hard to imagine the folks at the Center For Applied Rationally
doing just as bad as the average Joe.

It's hard to believe that you can't train yourself into hypervigilance and extraordinary awareness. Practicing with intent is a very different animal from "cognitive sophistication" (however the paper defines it).
Functional antibiotic resistance is costly to maintain when there is no presence of antibiotics that would improve the fitness of these sub populations. One way to get around the issue of antibiotic resistance is to just cycle through different antibiotic compounds. A population will not maintain resistance to compounds not in its environment for very long.

> if you want to master something, you should study the highest achievements of your field

> Thinking about this question, I wrote down a list of twenty names—von Neumann, Tolstoy, Curie, Pascal, etc

So the author advocates that we learn from geniuses how to master something? I'm not sure if this premise is true to start with. Von Neumann could solve complex PDE systems in his mind in minutes if not seconds, can we no matter how hard we try? Poincare worked only four hours day, can we? Euler wrote faster than people could digest his writings, can we? Galois invented group theory when he was 19, yet how many people could really understand the simplest college-level abstract algebra after they graduate from a STEM field? Feynman (or Einstein?) self taught himself calculus by 12 or 14, yet how many students struggled with the concept of variables when they were at the same age no matter how hard they and their teachers tried? Those are extraordinary people with extraordinary capabilities. I'm not sure how much we can learn from them to master something.

Rather, I would learn from ordinary people who struggle from time to time yet somehow manage to master something.
You seem like a great manager/employee - sad that this is the situation you faced at this company
Being on anti-depressants is also a no-no as well it seems.
It's hard to imagine such an organization working out over the long term. The incentives are all wonky! The more you contribute, the more you sacrifice by joining a coop. The less you contribute, the more you gain. I for one can't think of a less attractive idea than taking a product idea that I love and turning ownership and creative control over to a group of strangers.

And that's probably why these things are so rare. After all, it would take a helluva lot of drive and energy to bring such a thing to life--probably much more than it would take to start a company in the usual way. If you were capable of building such an organization, why not retain creative control of your ideas and make millions at the same time?

Making millions doesn't have to be a selfish act, by the way. If you want to help people, money affords you the opportunity to do so in any way you please. Horray, effective altruism!

Meanwhile, if you start a software co-op... who exactly are you helping? Software developers, who get a chunk of profits instead of a measly 150K? Software consumers, who're likely business owners? Folks who have money to pay for software?
A few years ago we had the cheap oldsters showing up in droves at public meetings at meeting about improving our internet. I’d grant that video calling has gotten a lot more mainstream.

> if you are buying lumber in Kansas City, KS to be delivered in Kanas City, MO - you pay the MO taxes (4.225%) rather than the KS taxes (6.5%)

It gets even better. In some places (e.g. Washington) you pay use tax[0][1] if the use tax would be higher than the sales tax you did pay. So if for example you buy something in Oregon and bring it home to Washington, you pay all of the use tax. If you bought something in a state with a sales tax that is lower than the Washington use tax, you pay the difference. (It isn't immediately clear if you can try to recoup the difference if you buy something in a higher sales tax location than your local use tax rate).

[0] It's the same as your sales tax rate.

> This is not true in the slightest.

Clearly a post made in bad faith. You seem to think I don't have a lot of experience playing these games, if you are going to assert that RT makes so much difference to the player experience (other than reducing performance).

I am certain that the majority of gamers could not effectively discern what "RTX On" actually means without being trained to know what to look for. You hear things like "it's shinier" from people. This is often true even when they are looking at clips or screenshots, let alone while they are concentrating on actually playing. What percentage of players even understand that a game advertising RT may only be using it for shadows, for example?

As we have this discussion, the biggest release is Hogwarts Legacy, for which there are support forums full of people complaining about performance issues so they can see a stained glass window reflected (on a stone floor!?) like its a mirror.

I hope you understand that the marketing spin to which I was referring is the very idea that RT is needed to make a modern game look good in the first place. You seem to really care about it. To me it's just another thing to put on the box like 4k, 8k, HDR, etc. Things that do look good, especially in awe-inspiring screenshots, but have essentially no impact on my actual enjoyment of the game.
All sorts of useful problem domains need dynamic allocation; you can hardly avoid using it at some point.

I'd actually like to see a Modula-2 example of, say, dynamically allocating an array object, which is dynamically sized. Because obviously Modula has better arrays which know their size, which a C program has to express all by itself with size fields and pointers.

I worked with Modula-2 quite a lot around 1990 but didn't do anything of the sort. I didn't know anything about any ISO standard or memory allocation functions provided thereby. A cursor search seems to indicate that it didn't exist until 1996; basically years after "peak Modula".
> ...but there's no guarantee my hardware is compatible with Ubuntu LTS 22.04 because the vendor doesn't support that config...

So it's your vendor who doesn't care about backwards compatibility - Linux does. Whatever hardware you have, once it was supported, it will stay this way until it is really ancient, and even then you will have special builds that will support it. That's the beauty of open source (or even source available) licenses. No corporate interests that would render your solution obsolete. [0]

This is something I learned late in my career. Leadership has to constantly justify their priorities and expenses. The goals they set and expect from their teams is also built from the feedback they receive from their teams.

What can they realistically build given the resources they have and teams in the time they need to deliver something? It's not magic and too often people fear if they don't commit to aggressive deadlines that they will be punished for it. Yes, this is a tug-of-war, leadership pushes to maximize and the teams push back to minimize until there is an agreement.

However, the important take-away, be open and honest about risks, and blockers. Give early and often reports to upper management about the state of things. As long as you're giving visibility to things you help leadership plan and realign on expectations so they can make course corrections if needed.

Too often I see things fall apart on the ground and another engineer tries to pick up the slack doing extra work. Leadership is never informed and so believe things are going as expected. They just see the work getting done, even if the team on the ground feels overworked and understaffed and so yea, it's not healthy.
Amazing! Does it work with Pyspark?
> It represents an actual cost for an actual activity.

It really doesn't. It's been a stealth way to increase your rates for a long time now.

> I think AirBnb should show initial totals with it included, so you're never surprised by it.

They do, but it makes comparing rentals (both within AirBnB and across services) a pain in the ass, because it's not factored into the initial rate-per-night that you see and that they sort by if you ask them to show cheapest-first. [EDIT] I glossed over the "should" when reading the parent for this part—whoops. I thought they meant it's included once you're into the actual listing, not on the list-of-listings page, which is already, but which isn't enough. I stand by the first part—cleaning fees rarely represent the "actual cost" of the activity, on US AirBnB.
Support groups are common for all kinds of things, so there seems to be some kind of value in it.
Companies in new areas of technology generally started with a concentration of power and after a while that concentration of power goes away. Every new tech has effectively had this.

Anyway our economic model is toxic to cooperative businesses. So yeah it’s gonna be hard to find examples of successful coops.
I see people pulling numbers like this, and I'm not saying I don't believe you, but in my experience, owning a car has been far cheaper than what most estimate.

I bought a 3 year old used car in '09 for $14500 for cash. Since then I've spent a grand total of about $3000 on repair and maintenance. My insurance is about $700 / yr. I spend about another ~ $650 / yr on gas. My total costs have been less than $2500 / yr all in.

You're also not accounting for the value of your time. My 30 minute commute to the office would turn into at least 90m on public transit. That's just one example. It's death by a thousand cuts. At even 1/3rd of hourly rate that most of us make, the cost in lost time is tens of thousands a year.
Good argument. So it's not about the total population size at all. But comparing GDP/square mile actually makes sense.

But at the same time, the situation is nowhere near 10x worse in the US since you mostly just need hospitals close to the urban centers anyways.

(Though I do grant you that quality of life for people in very rural areas will be a bit worse since they need to travel far)

I didn't think the OP described a comp structure. The org-wide decisions being put to a vote already happens in a lot of public companies, and it would be the employees voting if they were the shareholders. It's a really straightforward idea.

There’s the reward conferred by being able to get further into shallow areas and take advantage of the additional food options they might offer over and above what’s available in deeper water. Transition zones are abundant with life and thus food.
This is overly reductive. For example, I just read American Gods: The Tenth Anniversary Edition, a version changed from its original. Using this reductive model, that's wrong. However, it was changed by the author, which seems perfectly acceptable. Those two things are in contradiction. Either changing books isn't categorically wrong, or Neil Gaiman was wrong for changing his own book.

Taking a bit of a detour, is it wrong to engage in death of the author style interpretations of text?
Why yes actually! Thanks for your quick and very helpful reply
The company will make more money this way.

I’m guess Dahl books were selling less due to some groups not wanting to read about fat characters and whatnot so the estate and publisher wanted to make more money and stay on those reading lists.

Dahl has been dead for 30 years, it’s messed up that copyright is so long that his works have decades more until in public domain.

I don’t think this is woke, this is monopoly copyright maximizing for profit.

I’m sure if Michaelangelo’s David was under copyright, they would add on a fig leaf to maximize sales.

I think the quote that the family of Dahl should be ashamed is most apt. The publisher is some lame company, but there’s some nephew or other relative somewhere that wanted 5% more profit and defaced their relative’s art for a bit more money.
> At this point in market concentration

as others mentioned, some people don't care about market share. the browsers I use day to day (Firefox, Chrome) are honestly pretty bloated and terrible, so I think others would agree that quality wise, users are starving for something better.
The science seems to show that it's very hard (possibly almost impossible) to de-bias yourself, which is why humans have to rely rely on other humans with outside perspective as a counter-balancing force. This assumes that conflict of opinions is welcome and accepted by the group, which is unfortunately not always the case, leading to echo chambers and groups confirming and reinforcing existing beliefs.
Leveling the playing field means increased competition which means better prices for consumers. It does make it more affordable. Your listed examples are discretionary purchases. So it might not matter much to higher earners, but I'm sure some median earners bounce when they make it to the final step in the checkout flow when all the fees are revealed and now it's out of budget.
I'm not sure why this links to Eric Topol, he's not exactly the best person to analyze this sort of study, due to his (even very recent) track record. How about someone like Daniel Griffin, who has experience running this sort of study?

Headline changed because the product is advertised as US$1.50, but there's the usual "quantity tax" added to shipping which bumps up the cost of a few dollars. Still interesting though.

Petals – Decentralized platform for running 100B+ language models
i got into it just because its novel, but I've kept using it because I find that the simplicity + performance + safety makes it very useful for prototyping. Last year I challenged myself to do Advent of Code with V, because I knew I couldn't google the answers + there are very few packages for it (I limited myself to the standard library). I felt like I was back in CS courses, just banging my head against a wall, and it was super fun.

I personally can't say why someone would use it over Go or Rust, but I can say its a joy to write.
