Bullies prey on you because of the opportunity and low cost. So do everything you can to make it cost them, even if it costs you.

I learned that lesson in kindergarten and almost got kicked out of school over my retribution. But I stuck to my guns, and nobody messed with me until I changed schools some years later when we moved to a new town (and the process repeated).

Did I suffer? Oh, yes. But they move on after you make it too painful for them. You need to develop a greater pain tolerance than they have, or just fight sneaky and dirty - whatever it takes. And you need the balls to stand up to teachers who tell you to turn the other cheek or "make friends" with them or some other such BS. Only violence stops bullying.
> What good would that do?

It's fine to just accept things for what they are, but a lot of things does not have to be that way. Would you do everything in your power to help your kids/wife? A diagnose would rather be a way to add a bunch of new tools in your toolbox. Showing your kids that they have the same thing as you might give them a better time identifying with their diagnose as well (the saying goes, I'm just like my dad, right?). Avoiding things to have a well functioning life should not be the normal, I guess that's why your wife thinks you should go get diagnosed, why not let her have some influence on you? She seems like a keeper. Figure stuff out while the climate at home is accepting, rather when it's war. Accepting a diagnose is never easy and it takes a good partner to figure that out.

From my own understanding, living with a social person that can intercept stupid ideas before they take fruit really helps. Keeps those close around at all times! :D
With dropshipping, there are a lot of "pay me $500 and I'll teach to you get rich dropshipping!" classes.

It's not quite the same as an MLM because the teacher doesn't get continuous income off the people they recruit after they finish the class, but it is like an MLM in the sense that the people recruiting people to their class are the only people making any money. And they tend to create "levels" of classes, etc to keep people paying.

Startups hiring early employees and asking them to have the commitment and work ethic of a founder but a tiny fraction of a founder's equity, playing up the exciting possibility of a billion dollar valuation while never mentioning the liquidation preferences and possibility of many years of illiquidity -- this is essentially an MLM and it's incredibly common among Y Combinator companies.
I love this, thank you. It’s a topic I’ve oft thought about, and I’m having fun reading through the code - I was just thinking earlier today that I need to brush up on my C, as I was going through some of my own, old, code, I can barely follow.

Thanks for posting!
When you disintegrate the family unit, you stimulate the demand for outside intervention, especially in the form of state-backed "services". Like anything, because no one watches the watchers (except other watchers appointed appoint to watch the watchers that are not themselves watched), there is plenty of room for abuse of power. CPS has been out of control for decades now, and it largely has to do with the fact that in many states the first resort is removing the child from their parents.

I'm not necessarily poopoo-ing the laws they're trying to pass, I'm just saying that these laws don't really address the bigger issue of the why these services were brought into being in the first place (widespread child abandonment and neglect in mostly industrialized areas), and they do not address the question of whether or not the genesis of these services has anything to do with why they behave the way they do.

I think they're also targeting the very wrong audience. Metaverse feels like a weird incarnation of Microsoft Teams - from corporate, to corporate. It's really not for young people. One has difficulty finding examples from history where something new was first adopted by older people and then by younger folk. Even Facebook started as a social network for university students and then spread across the population generation by generation. Meta has apparently forgotten the prime rule of trendsetting; it must always be done by cool people.

The main problem in my mind with the Lightning network is that in order increase transaction speed, it is reducing the decentralization by requiring participants to trust the other network operators that they create channels with. For the lightning network to really scale to a global payment system, we would need large central hubs for the payments to route through and you would end up with a poor imitation of the centralized banking system that bitcoin is attempting to avoid.

I read free to mean "free as in freedom" in the headline, I'm glad it simply meant as in beer.

However, the "as in freedom" is not only much more important, but also in serious disrepair already..

A prerequisite for a free (as in freedom) internet requires that traffic be routed to and from every subscriber, so that everyone who connects to the internet can participate in being a part of it (host their own services, free of charge or otherwise) on the same terms as everyone else.. That, fundamentally, is the requirement for a free internet, and for freedom of speech. Unfortunately, it is the one right that has been totally ignored by everyone for the past 20 years, which is how we end up with so many people being CG-NATted..

People here seem to think that this parenting style means to let kids roam around unsupervised, and that is all there is too it. But it is not exactly the same. It still requires time, thought, and energy on the part of the parents.

Example: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/09/6169288...

Poor families may not have those resources.

What differentiates this parenting style and neglect due to being too exhausted working multiple jobs just to make ends meet?
No it doesn't because the cutting edge of device driver development is on high performance devices in the hypervisor or IO server layer, passthrough and virtualized functions, etc. So it's all the same challenges as before with additional complexity that you also have to virtualize them either by passing function to the guest or by introducing a virtual server layer above them that has to perform well.

I don't know if I've ever seen much innovative device driver development work going on in toy or learning operating systems before virtio type interfaces. Before that most of them used a couple of the simplest hardware available anyway.

There has long been (and still is) a bunch of different emulated hardware that something like qemu offers (and not too hard to add your own emulated hardware) that you can trivially add to your VM if you want to develop device drivers. A number of real hardware companies nowadays actually contribute their hardware models to qemu and even develop to them internally for pre-release development and CI and regression testing.

So I would argue running in VMs with capable device model support like QEMU has actually made learning and developing hardware device drivers more accessible rather than less.

It's illegal for a strong person to take money from a weak person by yanking their wallet away from them, and this isn't that different.
Well, yeah, that's what I said: dropshipping isn't an MLM. There's no pyramid there. It's just a race-to-the-bottom, but one with lots of hangers-on at various steps realizing they can "sell shovels in a [self-proclaimed] gold rush" to various parts of this logistics chain if they can convince them they need the help.

>Yes it is. It really is as simple as that, people just don't want to hear it. Historically food was scarce that it was nearly impossible to sustain a calorie surplus long enough to get fat. But some people did, that is why the rich used to be called "fat cats" but now calories are so cheap and delicious and lifestyles are so sedentary that it is very easy for almost anyone to sustain the caloric surplus needed to become very fat.

I'm skinny so I'm unbiased. There is nothing I "don't" want to hear because I'm literally not affected by it. Thus, I assure you I have more information than you. Read below:

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/09/why-it-wa...

Your reasoning is on anthropological timescales, which while technically true, doesn't explain why people were still skinny in the 80s and before. There was an actual turning point AFTER the 80s... A huge shift in weight gain where MODERN and well-fed people suddenly got heavier. Something happened with the food supply starting with the US.

We only have correlative studies that match a number of things with the sudden change in weight. Thus no causative confirmation on the exact source. Our educated guess says that it has to do with processed foods. Processed foods streamline calorie absorption to unnatural levels leading to unnatural weight gain.

The article above mentions a number of other factors that I think are possible.
> Ya... only bash available on my system... a default installation of Rocky Linux.

RockyLinux as you know is a RHEL clone. RHEL is a very conservative distro, their original market was refugees from Solaris and other commercial UNIX distros. And I say that as a diehard fan of Redhat/Fedora minimal installation as both a server and development platform.

Other less commercial distros (Debian and deriviatives, Arch, Gentoo etc) tend to offer more shell options out of the box, as do most of the BSD's. And other options are not hard to install from the Redhat/Fedora repos as you would know.
Is the Metaverse something that wants to be done and Meta is its birth helper OR is Meta inventing the Metaverse because it needs something immensely big for its business strategy?

CS struck a great balance between skill floor and skill ceiling, which is one of the reasons I think it was the first blockbuster multiplayer FPS: even if your opponent is a way better player and knows the map, it's still possible to get lucky and win. The same isn't true of games with a higher skill floor like Quake duels*

*RA3, a Quake mod which came out around the same time as CS, lowered the skill floor by giving players a full loadout of weapons and maximum health on spawn. It was good!

> Are you saying that the OP's brain is doing "something that couldn't be done with "matrix multiplications", or are you saying it isn't doing something like that?

He is saying neither. He is observing that OP has introduced the assumption that their brain is doing something that can't be done with matrix multiplication and is pointing out that there is no evidence to back such an assumption up.

> but now somehow the collective has moved on to believing that matrix multiplication is sentient

The OP clearly feels that matrix multiplication is insufficient for sentience. Presumably the OP views themselves and other humans as sentient. Therefore the OP is implying that human brains do things which cannot be reduced to or wholly represented by matrix multiplication (plus the various nonlinear activation functions and other implementation details of current ML models).

That seems like a highly suspect assumption.

This is „selling shovels in a gold rush“ and has flat hierarchy.

MLM requires the mid tier to aggressively re-sell it down the line. Which is where the worst part comes from.

I think you are mixing up the general concept "hiearchy" with the very concrete concept of a "pyramid scheme".

The defining characteristic of a pyramid scheme is that the income at each level is predominantly connected to the recruitment of new members into the scheme. Twice as many new members per unit time translates to twice as much income, roughly speaking.

In management hierarchies, that may play a certain role, but your manager in a company isn't payed proportionally to how many new employees they recruit each month (unless they are explicitly a recruiter). It is rather proportional to the amount of responsibility which often correllates to the number of reports and their reports.

In other words, oversimplified, in corporate hierarchies, the pay relates to the number of people below you, while in a pyramid scheme, it relates to the first derivative of that value.

Presumably a car manufacturer would be liable if a safety-critical part malfunctioned, say the brakes.

Autopilot is like brakes that the maker says "they usually work but no guarantees". A higher autonomy level system would be like brakes that actually are guaranteed to work.
As I said in my original comment: I pretty much never include a cover letter. :-) I've discussed them in the past on HN where I argue they are a waste of time. Each time I bring it up I get comments supporting my stance, and comments strongly in favor of writing them. Amusingly, the last time this happened one responder admitted that he had screened out candidates based on things they said in their cover letter, but not those who didn't provide one (hence the cover letter working against the candidate).

If it is to work, the employer must require it, and must make some (verifiable) commitment that they read it.

> I've been curious about this recently, and have been asking around my network, and I actually don't think anyone I've worked with who's done interviewing for their company has ever even seen a cover letter as part of an interview packet.

If you read my comment, that's been my experience as well. I provide it, and if I get a call, I ask "Did you read the cover letter?"

"Oh, you sent a cover letter?"

But should Stanford really adopt constitutional standards for criminal proceedings if it's not holding a criminal inquiry?

One of the important conclusions of the "Me too" debacle was that victims cannot make their accusations in public - in fact, many tried, for many years - because they face a much higher cost of doing it than the aggressor. It's only when they are organized as a group that their individual accusations gain power leaning on one another, otherwise each accuser taken individually is taking a (major) image cost, up to removal from the field. The traditional criminal system was powerless to give victims justice before this, and deviants in ppsitions of power could victimize dozens or hundreds of people.

So as long as participation in this anonymous process is entirely voluntary for the accused and the texts are treated as entirely made up until proven true, then they can be interpreted as a way of organizing a larger number of anonymous victims who don't know of one another, and a way for management to get an early warning of things they need to look into more closely.

If a certain academic is accused by ten anonymous people of sexual harassment, it could be an organized smear campaign from a disgruntled student or peer. If, however, those accusations follow them across multiple departments and academic years, there might be more there than meets the eye.

A guy I knew many years ago was a compliance officer for an MLM company - basically his job was to ensure the people in the system were not breaking the rules. He told us explicitly once that he’d never buy or sell the company’s product. He knew that MLMs were a scam.

You don't know that.
Only in the most technical sense. Consider LuLaRoe (I'm only 90% sure I've got the name right, this might be a different MLM); you pay for your own inventory, and then they ship you a random bag of clothes. If a certain pattern sells really well - you have no power to order more of it. If a certain pattern doesn't sell at all - you have no power to nix it from your future inventory.

You aren't the boss, you're a bag holder.
I'm not sure that's entirely fair. Whatever you think of the company that's no denying they have interesting problems to work on, such as AI, plus ordinary big tech scaling. Plus you don't know whether a person even had other offers.
> They may have the licenses, but do they actually do business under them? They did not in the past

What do you mean? They provide banking services, they cannot do that without a banking license to do it under. They used to only have one, in Lithuania, and use it for all operations, but now they have a bunch more and the most appropriate applies (e.g. I'm in France, and I'm under the French one).
