There's a flaw in this analysis. You only consider the local effects of labor becoming redundant, while ignoring the larger global effects of improved efficiency and how the gains of efficiency are inevitably spread around due to competition.

Apply your analysis to the automation and scaling up of the factory and agriculture. According to your premises, such things should have been negative for the average person's material wellbeing. These sectors have become more efficient, which means less demand for labor, which means more power for capital.

But, observation (massive poverty alleviation) contradicts this conclusion, which means your premises are wrong. The premises are wrong because there are mechanisms built into both capitalism itself (competition between supply, i.e. between capital, driving down economic rents) as well as the attenuation from government (welfare state) which mean the gains from efficiency aren't all captured into the pockets of capital. They get spread around.

> naive to think the long term goal here is to benefit the average person.

The goal is always profit. Sometimes profit is aligned with what benefits the average person. Sometimes it isn't. A bad outcome doesn't necessarily follow from this.

Generally a session cookie requires that you send over a unique ID. That's usually it. If you use JWTs, you're sending over the same amount of data if not more, but now you have to do things yourself instead of just utilizing features browsers natively have.

You could utilize a key system to gain the same advantage as not having to use persistence as one gets using JWTs when implementing session cookies, if you wanted, too.

There's definitely a question to be had, depending on the non-operable chances of the person and the availability of surgeons, whether it is worse to have one sleepy surgeon do more work at greater the risk or a fewer surgery at a lower risk.

I am very sorry about your father. I guess my question would be, given our shortage of surgeons, would we be better off if they did less surgery with the tradeoff of lower per-surgery deaths but greater deaths from waiting too long / never / rising unaffordable prices due to scarcity. This seems like a case of an awful reality where some individuals die due to even greater shortage of surgeons or fewer die from shortage but more die due to lack of sleep/etc. The answer is clear at your individual level, less clear at the population level.

To be clear, I'm not saying that was a good representation of the tradeoff in your family. But it did seem to become a real problem of tradeoffs during COVID when medical personnel were overworked. It definitely takes a certain kind of personality to make peace with "I can operate on two people who are do-or-die today and save an average of 0.8 of the two of them, or operate on one person today and save an average of 0.6 of the two of them." You'd have to go in knowing the population is better off while the per-surgery stat is worse off...

Doing nothing wasn't the best strategy. They could and should have bought short duration bonds instead of long duration bonds and mortgage-backed securities. That would have been fine.

If you ask me, the real problem is the fact that 30 year fixed rate mortgages with super low rates were being handed out like candy. Who in their right mind would seriously hand out a 30 year loan with a fixed 2.6% interest rate? It didn't cross their mind that just maybe sometime in the next 30 years interest rates would go higher?

It was completely obvious to me that whoever owned those loans was going to be sorry sooner or later. Turns out it was sooner. And in the meantime we got ridiculous house price inflation to boot. Why did those loans exist? Not because they make sense, but because of government policies intended to promote homeownership and pump up property values.
> This impacted less than 2% of our users.

I think they mean it impacts less than 2% of user _accounts_. Not every account is created equal. If you were an open-source org with millions of image downloads a month, having your org deleted would have an outsized effect on the community. Many more Docker Hub users than 2% stand to be affected by these changes, even if the nominal value of 2% of user accounts is accurate.

Also, this "apology" does not feel even 2% apologetic. "I am sorry you misunderstood us" is not an apology. They're running the seldom used "docker pull gaslight:latest" command.
I know it's not cheap, but I've really come to enjoy Adobe Lightroom, as well as the rest of the creative cloud suite. I also don't care about the social aspect of sharing my photos (comments, likes, favorites, etc...) -- so if you already have a CC subscription, don't care about social, and just want a place to post -- look into Adobe Portfolio.

Edit: I'm not advocating that you go subscribe to adobe just for the hosting! But if you already have the subscription but aren't making use of the hosting, it's definitely worth looking into. It's included in the subscription cost. Consider this my glowing review.

> does anyone think that things like human translators, medical transcriptionists, court reporters, etc. will exist as jobs at all in 10-20 years? Maybe 1-2 years?

Maybe the very, very basic transcription/translation stuff might go away, but arguably this race to the bottom market was already being killed by google translate as bad as it is anyway.

In areas where quality is required (eg. localizing video games from japanese to english and vis versa) people would be (justifiably) fussy about poor localization quality even when the translation was being done by humans, so I have to imagine that people will continue to be fussy and there will still be significant demand for quality job done by people who aren't just straight translating text, but localizing text for a different audience from another culture.

That's why I am writing 'at 0.2 atmospheres'! Under that condition, you do get neither any poisoning (which the internet claims appears at 1.4 atmospheres pure oxygen), nor a big fire hazard. You create other problems due to the lower air pressure like lower boiling temperature and more body heat retention but those might be engineered away... On SkyLab, astronauts supposedly experienced 75% oxygen, 25% nitrogen for upto 84 days (again at lower pressure). That's not really long term, but not short either.

> React Router v6 seems to have no non-hook based APIs that aren't marked private!? They screwed the pooch on useNavigation; it causes unnecessary re-renders. Surprise surprise, but if they can't get it right...

Whoa, you lost me here. React Router is no shining beacon of good API design. They've never done things well, just "well enough". I'm not saying RR is terrible, I'm not saying the RR devs should feel bad about how bad they are or something, I'm just saying that these guys are not the guys you want to point at for "if they can't get it right...".

(Example of RR being not-so-amazing: Initially (v1? v2?) they required you to use attributes for the components that would render in a route, with no way to specify props short of making a custom component that wrapped the one you wanted. Then they added the ability to pass a function as an attribute, which let you specify props, so that was usable but clunky. Then, in yet a third version of the API (I think this is by v4?), we got the ability to use JSX in children to fully specify the components, which obviously was the right choice all along, it's literally the point of JSX. And again, I'm not saying I'm a better software engineer than those guys; I think I'd have got this one right but I'm sure I'd have screwed up a dozen other things.)
> Computational Linguistics I kept running into the unspoken question

I've done a lot of work in NLP and the times when computational linguistics has been useful is very rare. The only time I shipped something to production that used it was a classifier for documents that needed to evaluate them on a sentence by sentence basis for possible compliance issues. Computational linguistics was useful then because I could rewrite mulit-clause sentences into simpler single clause sentences which the classifier could get better accuracy on.

> And here was Google Translate being "good enough" for 80% of all use cases using a "dumb" statistic model that didn't even have a coherent concept of what a language is.

I assume you are aware if Frederick Jelinek quote "Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of the speech recognizer goes up"?[1]

That was in 1998. It's been pretty clear for a long time that computational linguistics can provide some tools to help us understand language but it is insufficiently reliable to use for unconstrained tasks.

I couldn't disagree more with your take.

Meta is one of the most revenue efficient companies in the history of the world. Each employee generates $1.929 million in revenue, and they have an 79.63% gross profit margin vs a sector median of 49%. That's each employee including the recruiters, EMs, etc.

Part of the reason these employees had to "fight" for work is intentional - if they had more people than they needed and no forcing function (i.e. perf cycle) then these people wouldn't fight for their work, they'd just sit there getting paid and not complaining about it. The company would then be dramatically less efficient.

I disagree with their model in a lot of ways, but this is a completely unfair characterization of how their org actually works.

They hired as though the COVID trajectory would continue, and saw less attrition than expected as people stuck to their jobs due to uncertainty. So they're trimming a little and re-focusing. That's all.

> "I mean, like, we were just sitting there. We had to basically fight to find work."

To put a very fine point on it, the reason they had to fight (like everyone else there) is because if they didn't come up with something to do that was quantifiable and impactful in line with org goals, they'd be terminated within the year. It was their job to find a way to be useful. The system culls those who do not. It can be harsh and impersonal, yes, ruthless even - but it is very effective.

> I had an indirect friend who loved to tell the story of how, after his third project at Google got killed before launch, he just stopped working and realized there were little, if any, actual consequences for doing nothing ;P--never seemed to hold any weight.

That was at Google. This is Meta. They are very different companies. Each FAANG is completely different internally and it would be a mistake to assume that experience translates.
They should be able to recognize spoofed numbers though. More than 90% of spam calls I get are clearly coming from a spoofed number. Sometimes it's even my own number.

I know the current infrastructure can't really deal with that, but it's because the telecoms have no real reason to implement it.

How a team who isn't Next.js or Shopify can implement in their own frameworks, without needing to dig into Next.js sourcecode. The example app released around the announcement is quite old and bare-bones, and I'm sure there have been learnings and other guidelines since then. In short, it would be great to have a little more than a spec and an undocumented webpack plugin to work from.
These are rules about what providers have to do. Also, they are about blocking certain unused numbers (that is, unused for text messages), and it doesn't seem to be based on the content of the text messages.

Somehow the providers need to get lists of these numbers and it's only going to be as good as the providers' information sources. I suppose a government agency could put someone else's number on a list, but that would be rather obvious.
My most upvoted comment on HN is from some time ago specifically about non-competes. In summary: fuck non-competes. I will not sign them. I will not work for any company that puts non-competes in their employment contracts. I will advocate that all of the people in my professional network (all of whom are top of their fields) do the same.

I have never seen a single convincing argument for why companies need non-compete agreements for employees. Every single argument I have been provided, including the arguments in this article, are not even covered by non-compete agreements and are actually covered by non-solicitation or non-disclosure agreements instead.

Non-competes are amoral, create a social and moral hazard that depresses wages and further imbalances the power relationship between employees and employers, and are on their face rather stupid. There is not, and never has been, any legitimate reason for any company to put a non-compete into their employment contract. The only reason companies do this is because they're allowed to and any competent corporate attorney will try to get as much over on the other party as possible in a contract negotiation.

This research is completely unsurprising to me. Anyone with more than 5 brain cells to rub together can easily figure out that non-competes are a total farce and have no reason for existence.

It's hard to use automation to tell if the phone call you're receiving is a Medicare spam call, or a genuine call about Medicare for example.

"I buy junk cars" is pretty easy to filter out. Nowadays they send things like "i/buy/any old/car Yconpro/autos*" (this is a real one I got 9 hours ago). But that's still easier to design a filter for than a phone call which only happens over audio.
From the Treasury announcement:

Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

In other words, if the FDIC's current funds can't cover the bill, an extra fee will be levied on banks to make up for it.

I don't think I meant "negative effect" in my last paragraph to mean "should remain outlawed", but rather that we need to understand and perhaps plan for the negative consequences of legalization.

The biggest challenge is that there is not yet any procedure that can verify impairment by marijuana. With alcohol, it is easy- any amount over 0.08 and you are legally considered impacted.

With pot, the metabolites stay in your system for weeks. Did you crash because of a genuine accident, or did you crash because you were driving impaired by weed? The police don't have a way to make a distinction with a simple breath / blood test, so it is harder to enforce.

My calculations for the volume of a 15m x 100m cylinder would be 17,671 m³ (π * (Diameter/2)² * Length). I think you calculated it with 15m as its radius.

For an atmosphere similar to the Earth's at sea level, you would only need to bring a single Starship with liquid nitrogen (~12k kg) or ammonia (~22k kg, which you could use the ammonia breaking process) to fill it up the volume. Starship can hold 100 tons in its cargo configuration. With a 15m radius you would still only need ~49k kg of liquid nitrogen or ~80k kg of liquid ammonia, which is doable in a single-ish Starship flight (maybe two with the ammonia if you couldn't use all of the cargo capacity).

This seems extremely doable on smaller sizes, and pretty doable for larger sized lava tubes (albeit expensive).

Although I knew about the FDIC coverage limit, it seems many did not. I've never had enough cash to test this, but I suppose I assumed if you put $251K in a bank account the web page turns red or something, or a dude calls you up to warn you that the last $1K is at risk.

I wonder if this will be a repeat of what happened with speech recognition. It used to be a specialized field dominated by smaller companies like Nuance.

More recently Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. decided they wanted to have speech recognition as an internal piece of their platforms.

Google poached lots of Nuance's talent. And then Microsoft bought what remained of the company.

Now speech recognition is a service integrated into the larger tech company's platforms, and also uses their more statistical/ML approaches, rather than being a component created by specialist companies/groups.

(I'm sure I'm grossly simplifying this — just seeing a potential parallel.)
If the insider interacts with that network and learns the information as part of doing their job, then they could be trading on information they stole from their own company's shareholders.

It could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time, and a year would give sourcers a decent amount of experience if they wanted to leave.
Still lots of teams out there shipping with Webpack. If you’re already familiar with it and it works, use it. Picking up something new at this stage will just get in the way of shipping.
