> reasonably competent human

The reasonably competent human at the hotel is the night-shift clerk making $13 an hour, and his manager, who makes $17, both of whom are utterly terrified of getting fired.
In EU it is even worse. 50% of people are living in apartments and thus have no access to charging over night.
Easy solution: kill someone with your car, get the death penalty. Then the incentives are all aligned.
I would prefer privatized credit scores to centrally controlled. I would prefer i was on one bad person list as opposed to the only bad person list.

This coordination already exists on some level. If you rip off a hotel they may inform their competitors and share information. Generally they don't care so much about tweets or politics as they are just trying to run a business. But if it was state controlled it runs the risk of beung used as a tool to suppress dissent or wrong think.

Large tech unicorns like social media are kind of inbetween state actors and private businesses as we have seen from the high amount of communication between state actors and these businesses
According to state testing? I was an A student (as were many of my peers) but you'd best believe we dicked around with anything that we were told wouldn't affect our letter grades (e.g. state testing).
You mean something like a git annex enabled branch tracking mirror locations of each release artifact like HTTP URLs, (webseeded) torrents, maybe even something content addressed like IPFS? sigh
I'm more interested in why she got banned. That's pretty creepy.
I'm not sure but by spread out I would assume multi-year. What you described is still problematic. I believe this is why mixed grade classrooms worked out so well because this was inherently unavoidable.
Didn’t have this on my reading list, thanks for the recommendation!
I really like the distinction between engineers and coders.

As someone who hires people (and having graduated as engineer), it is already extremely difficult to hire people who have an "engineering mindset", who know how things work deeply and would be able to make new stuff from scratch if needed. For "coders", who only know how to put a few libraries together and are allergic to novel stuff, I got stacks and stacks of resumés. Yeah, those will get replaced.
GDPR deals with user identifiable data or that can be tied to the identity of a user through partially anonymous data.

It should be fine to collect "telemetry" as long as the data itself isn't personal and that it also cannot be tied in any way to a particular user.

At least, this is how I've interpreted the GDPR rules.

On the other hand if you tie telemetry to a user ID, fingerprint, unique device identifier, etc, then all the data is personal, and since it's not obvious and necessary, you also cannot argue its a legitimate interest (note that most GDPR popups arguing legitimate interest are absolutely not valid).
For an experienced c#/.net it is OK, but new developers might get confused and go learn another language

Nim looks very clean. But I am not sure it is ready for complex production work
I see a lot of "we don't know how it works therefore it could destroy all of us" but that sounds really handwavy to me. I want to see some concrete examples of how it's dangerous.
You know, you can disagree without including the insulting language. That will lead to more and better discussion.

We're used to not having electricians readily available. In our region, which is a popular vacation destination, electricians are almost entirely occupied with servicing giant vacation homes owned by the wealthy. They simply aren't interested in small jobs, and can't make a profit servicing the locals because real estate costs are astronomical (thanks vacation home owners).

Whenever I manage to actually get an electrician in our home, I make sure they get a lot done because I know it's rare and I probably won't get them back.

We end up hiring "up-and-comers", and "almost retired" guys - everyone in the middle is too busy.
Having an intensive course on a subject over 3-6 months doesn't really let you do much in terms of spaced repetition. If a course is a year long and material is briefly visited, then often revisited, that could work, but even with a year long course, if you see the material on a quiz, a test and (a little bit) in the final that's not even close to optimal.

Are you talking about Rivian?

They are using BOSCH motors and Samsung batteries. At least until their new dual motor config comes out with their own motors. I'd say this is neither poor or great since these are mostly industry standard options.

Munro has done a very detailed teardown of both the Rivian and the Lightning. The main complaint of the Rivian was that it was overbuilt and they are spending too much money. Otherwise, it's been given very high reviews for quality.

I suppose you could argue that the quad motor config is maybe something other OEMs wouldn't take up for many reasons, but it's not a "Poor" choice. It's resulted in one of the most unique vehicles to ever exist, which was probably a very good brand building strategy. The problem with Rivian now is that they haven't been able to pivot to mass market vehicles quickly enough.
That seems like a good guess. I'd also guess that there are a lot more internal politics involved when they're implementing OS-integrated features that are easy to abuse. There are a lot of sites that ask for notification permission that definitely don't need to, and that probably saps some of the motivation for implementation at Apple. It's frustrating for developers with completely valid use cases, frustrating for open web standards, but I can understand being overprotective of user experience. It's a difficult balance.
The 90/10 number is definitely biased towards California, but the national numbers really aren't that better. The 75th percentile for electricians is $77,350 [1] and the 25th percentile for developers is $90,870 [2] so the overall number is probably closer to 80/20 or even 85/15.

It is literally impossible for OpenAI to do what they said because the structural incentives for the management do not align with the incentives of the users and data providers.

OpenAI and MSFT etc want to make as much money as possible - Sam Altman says as much with his "break capitalism" quote. This will be done at the expense of users and employees in the long term.

There will be a "Honeymoon" period of a few years, maybe a decade, where they splash money around on employees in order to "be competitive" and they will grow larger than they can sustain forcing them into the "Accrete all the value" train that drives every for-profit company into being a simulacrum of the Borg - where profit maximization is the ultimate goal. OpenAI "going public" or some other liquidity event to de-risk the initial investors and management (with the remainder to employees post significant dilution)

It's all very predictable - and afaik there are no counter-examples here that would show how you can prioritize money making (the only virtue in life after all) and also benefit users and employees over the longest horizon while being a public company.

21st century wannabe dictators don't try and take over the government directly to build their Potemkin empires - that is passe and very 20th century.

No they do it through "Building for profit companies" which eventually turns to regulatory capture (Altman already posted about doing this long ago with his post on regulating AI) and then monopolization.

So, great work OPEN-AI you're on the precise wrong trajectory
Sorry, you're right. By the time I saw this I could no longer edit.
You need to consider in old homes (of which there are millions and will continue to be) things like AC are run in multiple zones since the ducts were added decades after the homes was built it's just easier to have multiple units. Also as the home scales in size you need more units, including heat pumps if you go that route.

So you have a couple of these units running at 30/40/50A each and a couple cars plugged in, possibly one of them needs super charging so it's using 50A and someone has 3 induction burners going and the electric dryer is running while your teenager blow dries their hair. Not to mention all the passive things likke the fridge/freezer, lights, charging devices, etc.

Point being, at any given time there's a combination of things that could need power and you have to be able to support that.

> . You are mentioning extreme events that were more common in the past but my concern is that the extreme views today are more pervasive and widespread thanks to the internet

Extreme views are not more pervasive than ever (they might be up from a minimum in like the late 1980s/early 1990s, but not to some unprecedented level.) The internet makes views divergent from those of your immediate race/class/industry/goegraphy-defined subgroup more visible, and for many of the same reasons it makes cultural subgroups less defined by those categories than in the past.

> If politically morivated bombings become trendy again it might mean mangnitudes worse than the 70s

The reason they were more common in the 1970s is greater extremism, not fashion. Yes, if extremism actually got worse than the 1970s, then... it would be worse than the 1970s.

There has been a culture in the US, for some time, that everyone needs to go to college. Many high schools have removed classes that guide/prepare people into skilled trades and guidance counselors almost always push everyone to college.

There is some change for that now where some schools are starting to go the other way. But, these are in the minority.

It's a culture thing.

I know a number of younger people who had the impression it was better to toil in a low wage job (like a sandwich shop) and pine for a college degree than to choose a skilled trades career path. To them choosing skilled trades felt like failure. This is the culture they were raised in.
Yes, but they're going away from 8266 and going to ESP32. They've already dumped support for the audio reactive version due to low processing power of the 8266. There are ESP32's in D1 Mini form factor.
They're definitely serving a market with only partial overlap. E.g. I personally am in a market for pizza, but not for tacos.
Biology Is a Burrito
It’s pretty obvious that it can not correctly represent arbitrary transition tables: Just construct a Turing Machine that has a larger transition table than can be encoded in the language model.

On the other hand this is just a theoretical argument. Every existing computer is also not a Turing Machine as it has finite memory.
I dont buy this. Barring a superconductivity breakthrough, the cost/MWh can't be dramatically better than fission anytime soon, and it shares many of the same downsides that all but killed fission powerplants.

Ask HN: LastPass Legal Liability
I pay for LastPass premium and after months they have finally acknowledged the extent of their breach and their recommended steps to protect yourself. These steps include: updating algorithm security, changing passwords, changing master password, and resetting MFA. Basically, they have completely failed to do the only thing I pay them to do, and they continue to use the lowest recommended algorithm by OWASP for encrypting passwords. I do not have the finances to hire a lawyer and I would like to know if there are any legal steps I can take for remediation? Personal or class action or arbitration? I understand that responses are not legal advice - I am seeking recommendations for what legal advice to seek.
> Escalating onto social media can be quicker depending on your network.

Funny enough, Twitter was the best way to get CA DMV support during the pandemic. They'd DM you unlisted phone numbers to call and get things done that the regular website can't. This is the only reason I have a Twitter account.
Many electricians are working on 1099s, so you have to account for the extra payroll taxes they have to pay. And the higher electrician wages generally are in the same high cost of living places were SWEs make lots of money also.
It doesn't surprise me. Practice tests can show you you are unambiguously wrong about the details of things in a way writing my own summaries can't unless you go over them with a fine toothed comb anyway.
A bit of informal research suggests that the median software engineer earns 90-120K in the US. This might be slightly outdated. Due to my position, I have visibility for the salary of many software developers at my company (mid-size, about 5000 employees), and that's not far off. It might be low by 10-15K. We have developers across the US.

The same informal research suggests a pretty consistent 60K or so for journeyman electricians. The range is tighter because skilled trade wages are subject to more regulation. Based on my knowledge of the Oregon & Washington prevaling wage rates (my wife works in accounting and has several small business electricians as customers), 60K does sound about right. Though as an hourly worker, it is not uncommon for them to sign up for more hours to push their yearly compensation above 100K.

Anecdotal but most people I've ran into that are writing non-trivial Godot apps are using C# for these reasons.
There was the GI bill, which both of my grandfathers used to get professional degrees essentially for "free" (one accountant and one doctor). I guess it wasn't really "free" because one of them had to fight through North Africa and Italy to get it, and the other one had to drop a few bombs on Germany before spending the rest of the war in a POW camp.

What has changed since the 1970s is a greater proportion of productivity improvement has gone to capital vs labour. This means working people have to work much harder for comparatively less.

Ascribing the resulting unhappiness to departing from some sort of communal idyll where young people 'knew their place' is rather regressive I'd suggest.
Do you use GDScript or C#? Just curious, I feel like most developers just use GDScript as opposed to C# but I'm not sure how wrong I am on that.
