> No one discusses the elephant in the room: who elected these elites to decide what was and wasn't ethical and responsible? Nobody.

I'm a fan of SF. I remember nice quote from Beggers in Spain or maybe one of two subsequent books.

It was something in the spirit of; "Who should control the new technology?" is the wrong question. The correct question is "Who can?".

I think nobody ever truly gets to vote on their technological future or elect it.
Consulting companies like that come in two flavors. Both types start with 'you want something we will build it'. When it comes time to do it though you get two wildly different types. One is you will specify every little detail. Think number of pixels from upper left of the screen a control will go. Oh you want it to move with the window and reflow correctly? Oh that's a material change of contract (i.e. more money for them and crap for you). The others seem to have a clue and will just build the right thing in the first place (rare). They both snag you on the back end with support. It is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get.

Having used this particular one in the past. You want to have your details in order before you build anything (waterfall). But at that point you might as well make it yourself in house. But you are already committed to it (sunk cost).

It is great for middle managers who want to still 'code', but not really, but want to be architects. They get a 'cheap' team and maybe look like they are still doing things. I personally got the leftovers of that on a few projects when the manager realized it was basically a double time job to manage his own team and the offshore one too. The manager will get bored with it or overwhelmed by it and realize 'oh wait I need 3 of my devs and 2 PMs to manage this bad boy'.

If you think you have the 'they will build the right thing' kind of guys you need to test for that. Even then a 'good shop' can turn into something else later on as they switch people in and out on you.
> This "freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences" line is exactly the sort of attitude people take in the countries in which the government does suppress free speech, and they think it's just perfectly fine. You have freedom of speech and every country then, the consequences just going to jail.

There is even old communist-era joke about that:

Is here in USSR the same freedom of speech like in western countries?

Yes, there is freedom of speech, but in western countries there is also freedom after speech.
This feels like awkward sponsored product placement like you see in pop music videos.
> It feels weird that they're using Cash App to indict the company as a whole.

they profit off shorting. So it makes sense to target them if the company has _some_ issues with fraud, even if it's a small part of their business, as it hasn't been priced in yet before this news breaks and people are positive about the company.

They aren't doing a public service or anything. It's a reason why companies like credit suisse don't get targeted by hindenburg, because the market has almost priced in all of the fraud, and the shorting opportunities arent really there.
TLoU, Severence, Succession all quite wonderful. Even stuff like Peacemaker. There are a lot of nuggets with great writing, it's just that is is just SO MUCH content now, that there is bound to be more crap than good stuff out there.
I was about to ask the same question but it appears the repeats are not exactly identical at the edges.

Still, can one prove this is aperiodic from geometry alone? It seems rather difficult to actually prove that fact. Feels intuitive that there must be a period somewhere, however large it may be, on the infinite 2D plane.
Thanks for the mention! Weathergraph author here - any question anyone?
I believe Volkswagen's Wolfsburg factory is open for tours
Probably because a TVC that doesn't pull its weight will be let go right away. I suspect that the "economic downturn" is just an excuse to trim the fat. Also note the wording in OP: these are "non-billable corporate functions". ie middle management and such.
I'm also from an ex-Communist country and I don't agree.

If anything I would argue that Communist/early post-Communist generations in these countries are tainted by a ferocious anti-Socialist streak, which is kind of natural (people reach for the other extreme due to all the Communist abuse).

In my country, Romania, this leads to private development (real estate, businesses, etc) that completely ignores the public domain. Only in the past 5-7 years have people started to wizen-up that the Libertarian paradise is actually hell.

Developed countries in Europe are a lot more mellow regarding capitalism and socialism.

Random example from a supposed hyber-bastion of capitalism, Switzerland. A friend of mine working for Google found an awesome apartment close to work, super cheap. He had to provide a salary slip and the owner - either on his own or due to legislation - basically said: you make too much for this, let people with lower incomes get it, you get an apartment fitting your salary.

That blew my little post-Communist mind. The action practically screamed Communism to me.

You can call it a sort of awakening. You can't build everything on your own. We reach the stars by working together.
Literally every single example we have of gig economy results in lower wages and less worker protections.
Penrose tilings have 5- or 10-fold symmetry right, what does this have? Maybe triangular symmetry? In their coloring I see lots of three-studded shuriken-like shapes.
Their "collab" with nike, was one way (nike wasn't in on it). They had to destroy the shoes they created by order of the courts.
If I were to guess, this issue will be because metal tabs inside the cells were cut to shape with a stamping machine. The stamping machine die was probably worn, leaving burrs on the edges of the tabs. Those burrs are sharp and perforate plastic membranes, causing a short.

Lesson:. All stamped parts should be deburred.
that's by choice, if they wanted they can get isolated and be self sufficient with some minor compromises/inconveniences

> "Accenture ... would cut ... 19,000 jobs" is in the first paragraph

OK, but the actual title is... in the title itself. I think the bigger question is, why did OP feel the need to make this edit? HN guidelines state "...please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." [1]

> you know exactly what they mean

I didn't, at least not when I first read the headline. As mentioned in other comments, the use of "would" implies a condition, i.e. "Accenture would cut 19k jobs if ____ (some condition were met)." In grammar, it's called the 2nd conditional. [2] That's how "would" is normally used in this context. And if we assume that OP followed the HN guidelines, we'll assume that's what the article is about.

As it turns out, that's not what the article actually says. In this case, I had to click into the article to find that out. By itself, that's only a few wasted seconds. Not a huge deal, but it's not exactly a good thing either. More broadly, if we don't call this kind of thing out when it happens, it will tend to happen more often, and that will affect the user experience of this site.

Maintaining a minimum standard of grammar in headlines is one of the ways we keep this site usable. If English isn't OP's first language, maybe they should be more careful with English-language edits. I don't think that's asking too much.

I agree it’s currently better because OpenAI GPT4 is better, but it does feel like a bolt on to the search engine since it used the AI to come up with search terms and then summarize the results. Googles Bard seems to be more integrated with their search index which could mean it’s better in the long run once their LLM catches up.

"Every senior executive of the several dozen with whom I’ve discussed this issue believes that operating from home is simply less productive. Mind you they haven't provided me with any actual evidence for that belief, and I'm not going to stoop to talking to their employees, nor am I going to wonder why employees might not care so much about productivity gains when the profits from those gains are mainly going to people like me."
> Financial providers shouldn't be issuing moral judgements. It seems to be more common too.

Nothing to do with "morals", everything to do with the risks associated with prostitution. Same thing with Cannabis businesses, which payment processors tend to not do business with.

These companies have very little morals, but their executives don't want to be thrown in jail for being digital pimps.

Oh, interesting, thank you!
What are you on about? Diversity in the makeup of a group isn't the opposite of the ability for a group to unite for a common cause. Being employed in the same industry is already more than enough to practice solidarity, e.g. unions. I cannot fathom how one would bring a diversity argument against a statement like "workers deserve better protections".

Your argument sounds like a stepping stone for racism and anti-diversity rhetoric to me, and I vehemently disagree.
It just ruins their reputation as a reliable short-seller. It's short-sighted. They had good reports until now.
Right, sorry, I was directing my question at the "does it surpass human runners" train of thought. Obviously it won't feel a pounding heart, or a thrill of victory if it wins a race, or die of hypernatrimia during a marathon, so it won't surpass our specific cares. Not sure those make a significant difference in the arc of development.

It absolutely goes to the military with built-in weapons.
Yes but my experience with WITWICS predates the NES for me.
Silicon Valley creates companies with unsustainable business models that have to rely on tax/labor/regulatory loopholes. They pretend that profitability is due to actual technological innovation while negatively affecting actually functioning companies who don't have the same access to capital (bcs real companies can't pretend like they're capable of infinite growth). What most Silicon Valley companies wind up being are financial instruments that function exclusively as exit strategies. The Silicon Valley business is to essentially create innovation narratives they can sell without facing the consequences of poor business practices.
They are not exactly bad, they are mostly over the top, and that could be a cultural thing.

I recall Amazon used to do something similar. Executives would sometimes take customer service shifts. The goal isn't PR or worker morale - most people see through stunts like that. The real goal is to help leaders better understand their product, its problems, and customer frustrations.

I don't know if it's that lucky. My company is on M365 and Teams just works. Granted, we're all on Windows and the tenant is all cloud, which is the ideal case. But people here are far too quick to generalize their own bad experiences as being indicative of everyone's, and their own good experiences with eg. Zoom as being the normal case.

I've been a guest to both Teams and Zoom presentations, for example, and the Teams ones have gone without a hitch but the chat in the Zoom ones was a terrible, jittery mess (the video itself was fine). Teams also yields far more cleanly to wanting to join a meeting with the web app than Zoom does - we all know the company's shenanigans on that end.

For pure chat, Slack does beat Teams IME. The biggest thing is that the channels are ideally used in a more email-like fashion with dedicated topics, kind of what Doist is driving for with Twist, while Slack is just plain group chat.

But overall I've had just about nothing but good experiences with Teams - mobile-desktop handoffs or just adding the phone to not drop out while you're getting coffee is smooth, it doesn't crash, calls work well, managing team tasks in Planner, barebones as it is, is really convenient, as is having team notebooks etc. (though Loop will likely take over that).

As said, being a no account guest on meetings and webinars has been easy and worked well.

The primary issue is just that the fucker's stupidly heavy.
the rpi foundation is another example of openai-like evolution of an org - started out with a noble cause but switched course when faced with the realities.

the whole supply-chain fiasco was a great example of their current priorities when their arm was twisted. they started out with promoting cs education but ended up being more loyal to their corporate partners.

but to be fair to them, half the problem was us, who want it for cheap computing. the "hackers" in this site could easily achieve similar results by repurposing an old phone than to buy another one of these sbc for their home lab. to be honest, we are spoilt by the rpi ecosystem, and we choose it even when overkill because we can (or at least could until they became over $100).

at the end of the day, you do what you want with your wallet.

My opinion is that this it is not about semantics, it's about looking at the whole picture and not only to some specific outcome (running faster for example)

Firstly, faster doesn't necessarily means better.

Secondly, why do people run?

Nobody can't say for sure in general.

Why machines do it? (or would if they were able to)

Because someone programmed them to do it. 100%.

The question is why would you start writing a paper based on a model you don't have control over?

Surely the right way to do it, is to get your university to fund a creation of such a model first and then do research?

Seems like researchers didn't think this through.
They provide this demo:

I just wished one could turn off the colors.

The colors really distract me from trying to see the patterns the shape itself creates. For me, the beauty here is that each piece is exactly the same. Colorizing them differently takes away from that.
oh man, this comment may not age well :)
Can you create them at all, as an unprivileged process, or does it need something else to set it up for you like systemd?

If you have to rely on systemd then arguably is a systemd solution, not a Unix or Linux one.
It would be better to put the whole executive together into a location for two weeks.

My experience has been that _literally_every_ advanced cloud architecture can be simplified to:

- Host w/1 administration IP on a vlan w/ admin services on that IP, then N customer/service IPs w/ customer+service apps bound to them (11.12.13.14:5432 for customer A postgres, 25.26.27.28:5432 for customer B postgres, whatever)

- For each IP+service combo, configure the service to use its own directory of storage. Back each storage according to what it needs; the DB is backed by block RAM > SSD partitions > HDD partitions > SMB nonsense.

- For each Host+customer+service triple, write a python (complex)/shell (simple) deployment.py/sh and health script.py/sh to handle 95% of monthly deployment+maintenance needs.

Done. Scale to MxN HostsxServices across M IPs by N services over N customers.
That seems preferable since that person was in the trenches of the company.. presumably doing some necessary work.
Only if they use UWP, which is still somewhat rare, due to Win32 having loads more features and less bugs.
Yes, I worked for a slightly dubious precursor to things like onlyfans (much cleaner, their tagline was "keep it flirty, not dirty"). The content moderation team was mostly women and the things they dealt with were generally pretty horific.

Most people would call that pattern obviously repeating (in the shape itself).
Two books I'll throw in here: Foundations of Diatonic Theory [0] which gives the simplest, modern, math-based explanations of how notes and chords relate. It's a college workbook that you write-in for the exercises. Really terrific.

Also, not a theory book but the most important music learning book I've read: The Perfect Wrong Note [1]. Reading this permanently changed the way I approach learning the piano (or synth. in my case) and I my playing has vastly improved over the last couple of years because of it.

Of course it is for PR, it would be really dumb to not publicize it.

It would absolutely work in a sense. Of course the CEO will not get a real experience and of course no one will bring any real grievances to him.
But the CEO will still get some exposure to day to day. It is still somewhat better than not doing it at all. It’s a good precedent to set and one can only hope more CEOs would follow

The original article has a perfectly sensible title. Why mangle the original title into something so confusing? What has OP not speaking English as the first language got to do with deliberately mangling the title? From the site's guidelines:

I don't think not knowing enough English is a good reason to ignore the site guidelines.

You have to design the election system with this in mind.

One such design would be for every vote to have a unique id. When announcing the results, you also publish a list of which vote ids were tallied for which candidate.

Then you have 100 random ids, and the checkers watch those votes all the way from the voter casting them to the final tally.
In both cases (this page, and the one you mention) I think you’re inferring the wrong context — which is reasonable because it’s a legitimate inference.

I think the context is “for this use case”. Neither are saying never use Redux or useEffect, but are more about the common problem of people reaching for solutions that aren’t a good fit for their problem.

Daylio is a cool app but I don't know it very well tbh, so I'll try write a bit about some of t12n's main features (sorry in advance if I'm mentioning features Daylio also has)

Completely customizable tracking:
t12n is intended to be very open, in the way that you can track and follow up on literally whatever you want (you're the one defining the tracking questions, and the responses to them).

Experimentation:
t12n allows you to define timed experiments of behavior changes, and measure their effects on your tracking- allowing you to consequently decide which behavior changes are actually worth keeping for the long run.

Analytics:
T12n provides you with analytics data that's intended to provide you with insights on your tracking.

Last (and very importantly)- notification based tracking:
imho an actual game changer, in the way that it minimizes the tracking friction as much as possible: you can be notified whenever you want, and respond to the tracking question directly from the notification- literally takes less than 5 seconds!

> But when it touches our ability to think we squirm.

I think that's not the point. We're in awe by the machines' performances and then confused in how that compares to our abilities.

The actual threat is that in our minds we narrow our own capabilities and limit the comparison such that the computer is in fact better.

When computers were first doing math quicker than humans, that might have touch some humans, sure. Similarly now that "AI"s produce convincing spam faster or photo realistic creative images — that hurts some, jobs or maybe a lot. But it doesn't come close to being "human" or "intelligent".

Quite the opposite, the point is that we are getting dumber by focusing on human traits that can be measured or emulated by machines.
