As I said in a sibling comment, its not even necessarily that you know k8s or not. Its if you know the underlying _ops_ or not. If someone understands the mechanisms that are being abstracted in k8s then its mostly just a mental mapping of terminology to figure out k8s (not 100% true since there _are_ some k8s idiosyncrasies, but true enough in practice).

Dicknose mario: Trolling AI (and marketing departments) for social change
Hey guys, just wanted to do a thread on here before anyone else posts it.

The main idea was to open a dialogue between free speech idealists, trans folk (+ allies) and make a bit of a conversation about how we all fit in.

It's a bit of a mix of art, politics and science rolled into one. I toyed around with the idea of fuzzing AI dick detection and creating a completely innocent image that still gets picked up as containing a dick.

I used dall-e to generate the original image using the prompt "mario with big nose, profile view, photorealistic”. Pretty much straight away I got an image that tripped Discord's filter.

I played around with it a little and had some help from a friend to add a flag and a message all while still managing to keep it being detected as being "adult". (Image in the URL, https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/968159868211044514/... and again here for the sake of brevity.

As of this morning, this image was impossible to post on any public Discord server that had the "adult" filter set to on. It also tripped a variety of other sites i played around with including imgur and reddit.

I know this while whole thing reeks of conceit, and i'm happy to take any flak for that. If it made just a few people go "huh" for long enough to go away and read into WHY it gets blocked then it is worth it.
They serve both to a great extent, as long as code owners are willing to refactor their codebases. The changes do actually make code significantly safer and more pleasant to work with. My favourite ones are the concepts and class template argument deductions.
Because that middle man is pushing outrage. They purposely changed how it works from your friends pics of their kids to “child molester loose in your community, as what your opposite political party wanted.” That change is well documented, because it drove engagement.
I'm not going to bother engaging with you from the perspective of morality and ethics, since it seems unlikely that would resonate with you. Instead, I will point out how wrong you are purely from a financial lens.

The goal of a CEO of any company is to generate long term shareholder value - eg. to make the company more valuable than they found it. Mark Zuckerberg has been the only CEO that Facebook has ever known, and obviously he has created a lot of shareholder value during his tenure. On the other hand, Facebook has also lost about half of its value in the last year or so. A dropping valuation is typically a lagging indicator of a major strategic blunder or disruption. The market is essentially saying that he has done a rather poor job for the past 2-3 years and the outlook of investors is diminished accordingly.

And yes, hiring a ton of people and then having to lay them off in a short time frame is a huge part of this. In a tech company, profits today are the result of long term execution of strategies and represent a return on capital investment. A designer or engineer hired today is not going to deliver much that will create revenue or profit this year. There is an old axiom in tech companies - if you want a little profit today, hire a sales exec. If you want a lot of profit in three years, hire an engineer.

Bulking up your technology team only to have to skinny it down later is a massive strategic and employee distraction and is absolutely a sign of mismanagement.

> The company itself is a prime source of division in the United States of America

I think it's actually an even worse source of division in many countries outside the US, we (Americans) just don't hear about it as much. There are plenty of horrific examples from around the world like https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...
The hyperbole is a little much. Meta is pouring a ton of money into the Metaverse and facing some headwinds with regulatory and Apple's ATT concerns but they aren't even close to hemorrhaging money. Last year (one of the worst years for tech in recent history) they still walked away with 40billion in net profit. The money printing continues at a slightly slower pace.
It depends upon what your startup is doing. Maybe Kubernetes is overkill for a basic "CRUD" web app backed by a relational database and some object storage.

It's very helpful at our business that runs a variety of web services that are powered by batch data workflows. Kubernetes enables us to spread both the process workloads and the batch workloads across sets of servers, with redundancy.

For others in a similar situation, I'd highly recommend the combo of Kubernetes and Argo Workflows. We wrote a blog post about one of our workflows at https://www.interline.io/blog/scaling-openstreetmap-data-wor...
My mom retired and then returned to work a year later. To me, not working is amazing. I love it. I was laid off and would love to continue not working (if only I could afford it!). My mom, however, felt differently. She explained it like this: she knows she is getting older, so, after retiring, she felt as if she was just waiting around for death. Yes, she had more time for activities she enjoyed, but she also enjoyed working. She enjoyed being a productive member of society. She enjoyed being relevant. I understand where she's coming from, even though I disagree.
The profit increased drastically. Profit is the part they keep after expenses. That it increased so drastically is price gouging. And such drastic price going should only be possible with collusion whether explicit or tacit due to too few competitors.

> Cal-Maine’s gross profit jumped 10-fold from one 26-week period in 2021 to the same period in 2022, according to the company’s most recent quarterly financial statement.

This is not at all true. Section 230 provides Google with safe harbour to moderate as the see fit with no risk of legal action.
The failure of leadership in society continuing to conjure a fake world of finance and on rails career paths in alignment with the normalized production routines coming out of world wars.

A normalized post war economic society is what’s enabled the fiat currency sleight of hand and environment destabilizing consumerism.

The reality is “American society” has created this situation. It’s isn’t just on Zuckerberg, the Fed, Congress, etc.

Society as a whole has been a shit leader and steward of its own agency, deciding the future does not matter then finding itself in these “oh shit; we never saw that coming” moments.

Zuckerberg is a hostage to the pitchfork wielding billions that also exist just like you or I. What is his play? Stand at a mic and say “hey btw this is all gibberish and you’re all fucking dumb for buying it?”

He’s a product of society.
> On contrary. No scientist, except computer scientists, wants to deal with the quirks of ~~most~~ any programming language.

Fixed that for you. IME, in academia (outside of CS), Python is not especially loved at all: it's just there, with Java, R & Perl, and is more seen as a fact of life to deal with rather than anything else.
Meta, of course, is different.

Is it, really? All the "tech innovation" and "too big to fail" talk was said about Chrysler, too.

Lots of people look at Meta through HN-tinted glasses. It's still just a company, like any other.
Well, yes, probably as an alternative to the popular-yet-expensive IBM 2741 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2741)

I don't even think anyone can ELI50 on that one. Like the others said, it's always a political determination. So, I could ELIcynic and say that price gouging is high prices that affect politically connected groups.

Remember when the Fed had to breakout the emergency measures to save bankers from having to very periodically, very temporarily, pay .00273% interest instead of .00236% interest [1] on overnight loans? It's who you know.

But if I were to steelman, it would be something like, "taking advantage of a higher equilibrium price when it's known that there is no longer easy entry into the market", which would cover e.g. its usage in disaster scenarios.

The employer is paying the SV premium because either they want the employee physically in SV for job duty reasons, or because other SV companies do, so if you're not in SV then fewer employers are trying to hire you for SV salaries, which reduces your salary offers.

If they truly don't care then why not hire two equally good people in Warsaw? It's because they do care.

SV employees do not want all remote to be equal. They would very much be on the losing side of that bargain.
That's definitely a thing. A whole lot of the features added since C++11 have been specifically intended to enable library writers to do very complex things under the hood so they can present powerful yet simple interfaces to users.
i'm reminded of this every day. I hate it so much.
Consider this, a crucial element of business is risk management. People and companies who don't wish to manage a particular risk will choose to outsource it.

For example, by paying an insurance company $x per year, I can be pretty confident that my legal liabilities for my [car, house, etc] won't exceed a certain amount per year.

In the case of certain projects, companies who are looking to reduce their risk look for fixed-price contracts.

In a fixed-price contract, much of the risk of the project is on the vendor's side.

So the vendor who offers a fixed-price contract has to be very confident, that they have done similar projects many times before, are very familiar with the costs and risks, and have reliable paperwork, processes, and people who mitigate all the risk factors on a daily basis. If the vendor manages the risk well, and successfully implements the project, they can make a good profit.

When you as a vendor offer a "time and materials" contract, or hourly contract, you have much less risk. The hiring company is taking all the risks, that the project scope is well defined, that the people and processes work properly, and that the work is performed efficiently.

So the question really goes back to you, do you have project types where you have lots of experience, and can confidently offer a fixed bid? If yes, put together a very solid proposal, with a tight SoW and very detailed contract terms. In the course of the project, manage the risk daily, and raise a red flag quickly in case of problems.

If not, avoid the risk, and stay on a time and materials basis.
Desktop all the way (provided you have money to spend).

1. Multi monitor support is way better on Desktop with discrete graphic card(s) . You can have high resolution + high refresh rate on all monitors. With Macs, only the M2Max chip has decent support, and limited to >100hz only on one monitor. I have 2 ultrawide 34 inch monitors on top of one another, and its fantastic having all the windows you need to be open shown. Im so used to this that I actively notice all the time I waste tabbing windows on the laptop.

2. Way easier to expand/modify/repair desktop.

3. You can get a small cheap laptop running linux for work/dev away from your desk, and then SSH into the desktop if you need processing power. With VSCode Remote SSH extension this works very well. The advantage to doing this is that a) if your laptop gets stolen on travel, you aren't losing work or much hardware and b) it gives you more options in terms of laptop choice (for example, I have one with a numpad because of scientific computing). For security, I use a t2.micro EC2 instance with SSH tunnels that I spin up when I im on travel.
Yeah, something like that. Also that if you serially abuse a service, you lose your privacy protections, for example your IP gets exposed/ I'm also a big fan of community-driven responses, but these require platform owners to give up some control in favor of being more custodians than barons. Since many of them are selling every bit of data on their users that's not likely to happen under current arrangements.

For the whole second paragraph citations are sorely needed. This reads like something you would read on a nervous META stockholder forum.
Mind if I pick your brain? I enjoy compelling era pieces, though some fantasy or sci-fi is also great. I dislike identity politics and infantilizing exposition. By contrast I enjoy subtle metaphor and stories with nuance.

My favorite films would include Das Boot, I Claudius, and Seventeen Moments of Spring. For something more contemporary, I also enjoyed The Expanse. Any recommendations? Films or series in any language are okay.
Ah, you solved the first challenge! Noticing my typos. :)

> I'm guessing many of the full-time people they hired wouldn't have taken an offer as a contractor.

Speaking for myself, personally, if I were to join a role as a contractor basis rather than a full timer, I would expect extra compensation to justify the added risk of being laid off whenever. Hiring people by telling them they're full time, and then laying them off and treating them like contractors, is a breach of faith by management by hiding the risk factor of "demand after COVID will return to normal level" behind pretty promises. They made some extra profit by underpaying the nominally full time workers who were left carrying the extra risk of losing job, and it's showing now.
>You're absolutely right that 230 as written doesn't really speak well to the modern semi-automated echo chamber.

Section 230 does not speak about this because section 230 wasn't supposed to care about this. Section 230 was entirely about protecting large companies from legal harm when, say, the christchurch shooter posts their spree on your platform, or someone uploads literal child porn to your platform, as long as you attempt to remove such content when it appears. Section 230 is simply a legal admission that moderation is hard but necessary, and a single failure should not doom your platform.

If we think the way large platforms recommend content is harmful, we should write legislation for that, instead of yet again fucking with a working law to hammer it into something it wasn't meant to do. The USA loves to do that and all it does is give us really shitty legislation.
I was actually making a comment that was meant not to be applied just to me but to make people consider huh, yeah if I was actually at the point of last resort that's got to be pretty extreme and I too would not be operating at peak efficiency therefore it would be best to start the process of saving my life before it was the last resort or I die, but evidently I have once again been too vague in my preferred communication style.

I mean, that's a big jump. Might be worth starting with US-class, although I doubt it's affordable.
Happening in almost every industry.

They'll pay just a month's worth of profit as a fine when they are finally caught years later by the feds

So totally worth it.
For most it is working because talent is not what they are looking for, but cheap labor. I saw companies that prefer to pay 3 people in India to deliver less than 1 person in UK just because they want to have people in low cost locations no matter what the productivity is. They believe most/all people are equal in skills and output, it is linked to the the "equality" part of DEI.
You have to have a more guarded faith in management than that, but yes, if there are layoffs 3 months after not foreseeing more layoffs management was either lying or incompetent, and it's time to GTFO.
Active DDoS on Mailgun since 2/21
From support chat:

> We are continuing to mitigate an active DDoS attack that is causing intermittent issues for various aspects of our service. The attack began in the early morning hours on Tuesday, February 21st, and has continued into today. Our engineering teams have implemented additional DDoS protections as well as increased computing resources to absorb and mitigate the attack, and we are working closely with our partners at Google and Rackspace on additional strategies.

> Unfortunately, due to the nature of this issue and the security of our platform, we are unable to provide specific details on the attack or the changes made. Although we can't predict when this attack will subside, our engineering team will continue their mitigation efforts, and we will keep you and our Status Page (https://status.mailgun.com/) updated as more information becomes available.
Pick any definition you like. If recommendation systems come with existential legal risks for a small company, then only the biggest companies can afford to run them.

Or think of it this way: How is Mastodon supposed to take on larger social networks without recommending people to follow? Should every Mastodon server operator be legally liable for recommending someone harmful?
That definition doesn't seem to be what your link says the term means, from my skimming.

If a hotel fills all their rooms for the night or a gas station runs out of fuel, we can be sure that wasn't the case, right?

I recently had some frank discussions with my parents, and in-laws about elder care. American society doesn't plan appropriately for this and I've seen serious tragedies in our extended family that would have been fairly easy to prepare if we had discussed them regularly.

No, they presumably got 5x more expensive because half the flock died. If taiwan was invaded and TSMC's factories destroyed chip prices would skyrocket too, not because Intel and Samsung's costs have increased, but because there are more people competing for their limited supply of fabs. The alternative is everyone who used to use TSMC chips being shit out of luck and having to close up shop until new fabs can open.
No, Americans are being ripped off. I can buy 15 large eggs for about 3€ in Finland. How come one of the highest taxed countries can have lower price per egg than the land of the free and brave? We haven't invented a special recipe for making eggs. It's probably exactly the same as in US, probably even more expensive since you do everything by massive scale.
Other than occasional timeouts, the main impact for my team is event logs are ~24h behind.

If I don't declare VAT, I get around ~30 days of leeway between the remiders to fines from our tax authority. If I didn't pay them for a year, they'd close my company for good.

How the hell are they "probing" for stuff that happened 7 years ago? What were they doing in the last 6.5 years? Does an italian mom and pop pasta restaurant get the same 7 year time period before they get probed for not paying VAT?
It's a very normal breakfast for athletes. But your example isn't our current reality so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

To borrow a saying from the investment world - It's easy to double a small number.

I'm not defending the price hike. I'm just pointing out that it's a silly thing to get hung up on and most are not considering that eggs have been, and still are, a caloric and protein dense staple of healthy diets. We take that for granted.
Every one of the 2022 election cases heard so far has been thrown out because they're all as baseless as the 2020 batch. It's relentless bad faith by either dumb people or malicious ones, including Brnovich.
It depends.

Memes are not some special class of imagery; if the image used along with whatever text slapped onto it was specifically created as shareable art, then you are 'merely' in a legal gray zone unless the author provides an explicit licence statement (e.g., placing it in the public domain, or under some Creative Commons licence).

If it is the type of meme where a photo is reused, than chances are pretty high that that photo is (of) a copyrighted work, and the meme thus a derivative work. The same rules for any other type of photo apply: figure out if what you are doing is fair use, or needs attribution, or needs a licence agreement with the rights holder(s).

You may also need to look out for relevant laws beyond copyright; like the person in the photo suffering as a consequence of it being reposted (as nauseam) on the internet suing under whatever law is applicable. Johnny Memeposter on Facebook won't be sued, but your publisher might.

Also repeat the above for all relevant jurisdictions.
But the "5nm" label still has meaning insofar as a "3nm" process allows proportionally more density (5/3 increase) right? I guess the trillion dollar question is how many more node shrinks are left before quantum tunneling problems overwhelm solutions to them.
