> Even then you’re lucky as stuff starts breaking due to age and mileage.

Things definitely do break, hence the repairs I've done. I don't think I got lucky 3 times in a row - I researched and bought known reliable vehicles, and always paid a mechanic to go over the car before I bought it.

I've posted actual repair numbers since 2012 in this comment:

0. The vehicle similarity has a name: jellybean cars.

1. So this explains why hipsters all look the same too.

2. If one desired to create different enough to look different, then they should stop looking at everyone and everything else to minimize bias. Forget the outside world and what they might think. It also reduces personal discontent and misery by avoiding comparisons with others. Perhaps the Amish have something by choosing purposefully plain almost uniforms as the antithesis of Instagram.
Au contraire! There's plenty of mass to feed such a black hole, the real question is "when you run things backward" in the lambda-CDM model why isn't the entire universe a black hole? Or why wouldn't it be the case that there wasn't a primordial mega star that quickly (in universal time) collapsed into a supermassive black hole and the remnants of the supernova is the mass of the remainder of the universe and form the CMB radiation?
Yeah I’ve definitely been to events where quiet or no clapping is preferred (ex: poetry readings) but the OP claiming we aren’t aloud to clap at events anymore because it’s too violent sounds like someone who hasn’t actually been to a public event in the last year.
I can't tell how certain we are of its size - it's so big that it makes me wonder whether the easiest explanation is that our methods were incorrect.

For example, if we are measuring how light bends - how do we know there aren't many hidden (i.e. not large or bright enough to be noticed from earth) objects causing additional distortion and therefore throwing off our measurements? Do we also observe it over time to get more confidence, or have some other cross-checks that give us more certainty?

Either way, every once in a while I find it wild just how much we can deduce about the universe from our tiny fixed vantage point.
US television censors, program directors, editors “heavily censor” acceptable content. Before the internet TV was the goto black box of censored and cultivated information.

No official government body does not prevent unofficial collusion. People go to dinner, play golf, define how to scratch each others backs given the rules.

Americans are no less propagandized and experiencing information shaping. Prattling on about the authority of dead men’s political documents and philosophy is propaganda.

All vendors use an ODM. That doesn't mean that buying from the ODM directly will get you the same experience as buying from them. The vendor cam work with the ODM to customize hardware and firmware, so "rebadge" is a really poor way of describing it.

But yes, if you want a non-Clevo ODM there aren't as many options.

Note, though, that buying from Windows vendors will make the situation worse, not better.

I would think whatever we consider today as mid-level would become the expectation for entry-level. It would be nice if we had a culture of apprenticeship in our industry though.
I did think of doing that, but from my understanding there is a slight performance hit from `defer`, and there is no other branch it could deadlock - or am I missing something here? Thanks either way!

Edit: Oh I just saw the addition to your comment - that is exactly what I was thinking of ^^
The WEF messaging is not a secret, neither is their membership list (at least for corporations). They're pushing for lab meat hard. [1] And that sample is just a fragment of what's out there. Just do a quick search for something like "site:weforum.org lab grown meat". And so this really changes this issue. For instance, in America Kroger is not only the largest grocery chain but also affiliated with the WEF [2].

So if you're an American farmer, you should expect Kroger (among other WEF affiliated businesses) to treat lab meat in an unfairly preferential way. Even if you would feel comfortable competing against lab meat on a "level" playing field, this changes the game, and creates a much bigger motivation for things exactly like what's happening in Italy right now.

OK, already resolved in another reply. Mixed up work and force.
This take is so wrong as it utterly discounts the affect of mass market brand advertising, a trillion dollar global industry. People's tastes haven't "Converged" they've been manipulated by corporations to be whatever is most profitable.
> You may be too deep in the community to appreciate, but younger teens have had family supervision for millennia and for good reason. Their brains are not fully formed yet.

Of course, I'm not claiming otherwise. Hell, I'm not even saying that legally children should be entitled to privacy from their parents, clearly that isn't feasible or desireable in any way.

However, morally and ethically it is not black or white. It is not a case of "lord of the flies" or parental prison as a binary choice.

Honestly, I'm not even disagreeing with the original poster I replied to. I don't think they were wrong for snooping on their child's internet history. I just wanted to start an open discussion on a legitmate concern caused by snooping which many families go through. It is something that heterosexual parents often do not consider or appreciate because it was not part of their experiences when they grew up. To use your terms, they are "too deep in their community" to appreciate it.
Right. You can also create a charity, which you run, and donate millions of dollars to it, and write that off against your taxes as a charitable donation.

Then, because you run that charity, you can still spend the money (mostly) as you please.

I don't think human society has ever evolved past what this article would describe as "average" at any point of its existence since recorded history began. Sure there were bursts of "creativity" and "diversity" at some points but they were usually just experimental prototypes that haven't yet been tested by market selection. Carcinisation is an example of this in nature.

Cars looking all the same isn't really a new thing. The illusion of variety in the 1980s-2000s era was just old cars not yet being phased out by regulation changes. Modern cars have far better function at everything than older cars while only an extremely small price on aesthetics was paid in exchange.
The author has discovered fashion.
It happening in rare instances isn’t sufficient for the OP to claim “we aren’t allowed to clap at events because clapping is too violent”.
In which case the main problem an engineer is solving is how all these interact together. And not the X minutes that it takes to write each individual well defined tiny function.

> how is it in just five years microsoft has managed to pedal this once vibrant and bustling community of developers and creatives into a roaring dumpster fire of sketcky GPL breaking copilot AI and endless seemingly random outages.

I mean Github Actions was released 5 years ago[0]. I imagine the infrastructure for actions is more susceptible to outages than the fairly simple features Github offered previously. It makes sense that the number of outages would increase with the additional complexity in the infrastructure.

But how do you know space isn't filled with a network of probes to detect just that? It seems to me you need to be confident you're first on the scene, or at least that the Precursors don't have such a huge lead on you that your diversions are useless.

Edit: Also it seems that by a strange argument combining 1) any civilization earlier than you is likely to be massively more technologically advanced and you cannot hide and 2) you exist, that any civilization could assume they are either first or first enough, which also seems to break the dark forest.
What gave you the impression that I think nothing can be done? You can drive less, eat less meat, vote for certain politicians etc. What's a waste of mental energy is worrying that everyone else is going to do the same thing. This is often counterproductive to the problem it's trying to solve, like Greta Thunberg inspiring millions of kids to skip school in the name of "raising awareness."

> I’m confused why you think you can attribute the taste and culture of Github to Microsoft

i didnt.

microsoft has owned github for 4 years at this point. In your opinion, have they degraded githubs culture in that time and if so by how much and how? Personally, from the outside looking in, github and their tools have gotten better. Though of course, that couldve still been the case if github retained its original leadership, i just doubt it.

Seemed like it was never going away, 9 months in to "long covid" I kept saying "this needs to clear soon, it should clear soon" - I was going nuts because of the brain fog (end of 2021 into 2022). Did a lot of research, saw the clotting and inflammation research so I put myself on aspirin and CBD, after about a week and a half/2 weeks I noticed a slight improvement, about 3 months thereafter things were getting back to normal. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I've really ever fully recovered from covid, but hard to say if it's covid, getting older, stress. Never the less, I feel personally confident that aspirin + cbd helped.
not sure what the SLA is on Actions but outages are a regular occurrence with these kinds of systems and are incredibly expensive to move to the next 9 of availability.

it's certainly a risk you'll need to evaluate when planning your desired build process.
I've been trying to post less online because it's, well, depressing. But I agree with you 1000%.

The main way to curtail late stage crony capitalism is to raise taxes on the wealthy. We're at about half the tax rate that sustains a healthy middle class, which is directly correlated with wages being half what they should be, the lack of personal savings for the bottom half of the population, etc. It's been well-understood since the Great Depression, but empires have always known that there's a limit to what workers will accept before they revolt. I believe that we passed the point of stability around the Dot Bomb and 9/11 2001. But a strong argument could be made that the writing was on the wall by 1990 when the USSR separated but world powers kept funding their own militaries to create new bogeymen like terrorism to control the population.

Everything since has been theater: from the way we reward financiers and penalize employees, to how our legal system protects status quo players like the RIAA/MPAA, and how threats to our environments are just treated as externalities and not addressed directly because that goes against "free market" capitalism.

I learned about the situation we're in today with looming global threats like nationalism and fascism in high school AP government class back in maybe 1993. Back then, guys like Robert Bork, Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaugh were curiosities, and Newt Gingrich was just getting started. Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined that Fox News would dominate all media, thanks to bitter old men like Rupert Murdoch. They created such a dark reality that I feel awful for young people today who think that this is how it always was and always will be.

The silver lining is that every bully eventually realizes that everyone is laughing at him. I think we're in one of those moments now with stuff like the TikTok ban hearings illustrating how comically out of touch bitter old men are. Their time is ending, and I still hold out hope that when Gen X attains power in government, we'll pull the plug on the fear mongering. But I'm generally wrong about these things, so I also expect the powers that be will prevent us from ever gaining any power whatsoever. Which is why it's so important to organize outside of whatever circles the mainstream media deems appropriate. Thankfully Gen Z appears to be doing just that.
(I don't have an opinion on this OL (atm))

Well, if (for example) US government tomorrow via treasury or commerce or secret service sends a stern letter to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft forbidding say mining bitcoin, or whatever, it will not immediately halt things but you can be certain those companies will comply.

This is possible for some of the signatories. It is also possible to read this as "make them wait while we catch up".

It is also possible that many genuinely believe the pace is outstripping reasonable foresight in assessing consequences.

I would re-frame the proposal this way (as a motivation to consider the open letter):

If we could turn back the clock to 2000, would we change various aspects of the integration of 'social networks' into society, and if yes what would those be?
Definition's etymology is literally from dēfīnīre, which was a Latin word that was originally used in the context of setting bounds to physical land. This then turned into setting bounds around the meaning of words.

One can't play fast and loose with how language works. Almost all words got their meaning through metaphor as society become more abstract and complex. Just because one doesn't like something doesn't make it less valid.

I agree they're not vanilla ice cream, but I do think Microsoft could be that vanilla provider if they actually worked to form a culture.

These ads are a great example: So many teams did thing right to get "BingGPT" in everyone's minds.

But then some tasteless exec looking to notch "monetized leading LLM driven search engine" on their belt got to ask some developers to get some ads into the thing and now they've dumped on all the hard work that came before that.

If they had a proper culture ideally an exec like that would not work at MS, and even if they did they'd have hit resistance on so many levels. Developers would not want to work on it. Designers would push back, PMs would deprioritize. At the end of the day their short-sighted idea would have stayed just that: an idea.

I'd argue. I think it was both.

Yes, it was an answer to Java but remember, VB apps didn't scale. They exploded at scale. And no matter how much you, as an organization, promised yourself you wouldn't scale up that VB app, it kept happening. So it was also an attempt to try to fix that.

> People have gone through much tougher times and seemed to thrive once the bad times ended.

If I were a teenager I'd wonder when the bad times were going to end. In most previous "bad times" we've had an exit condition - usually beat the bad guys. What is it now? What are we fighting against to rally in commonality with others? Also, we didn't sample mental illness previously, so we don't really know how teenagers weathered the great depression. Thriving once the bad times ends doesn't indicate how they were doing during the bad times either.
What would you propose to try?

The focus should be on containment and conventional deterrence. Build an alliance to isolate, undermine, impoverish, and humiliate China at every turn. Build up enough advanced weapons to wreck the PLAN if they try to seize more of the first island chain.

These look like very solid improvements over the MK3S+ (I personally have two MK3S+, and use them a lot), and I love their commitment to open hardware and for making upgrade kits available, but it's a bit disappointing to see still how far Prusa is behind truly next-gen printers like the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon.

Box around the printer with a vent/fan blowing outside. It'll be negative pressure in the box, so everything should just vent out. Even if you can just crack a window and get the airflow going out the window... you can push a flexible tube far out onto your balcony...
Yeah, they're always trying to move various back office / support / tech jobs to second tier / lower cost locations / "nearshoring", MS has Montreal, GS has Utah, lots of them do Budapest, etc.

But, they always have core people on site too. It's not so much that the work is only in Manhattan, London, etc... but more that, if you want to be in one or visit those locations, finance is among the best ways to get there.
I don't think non technical people could pursue the investigation at all. I'm technical but not in that specialism so I'd have to do some studying just to get started.

>Is it because the modern entertainment industry truly has become stale, or is it because I've lived long enough to see the simple patterns underlying most of our desires and fantasies?

Most likely the latter. There's so much content being created nowadays thanks to advancements in pretty much everything, making it easier to for anyone to create content. Patterns eventually emerge since creating truly original and unqiue ideas is not compatible with the current rate of content creation.
And work is constantly slow as well, since it’s impossible to get people in the room at the same time

Yeah, instead we had our teachers reassure us that if we saw a nuclear explosion that we should hid under our desks and that would protect us. We ran drills practicing this, as if it were expected to happen any moment now.

I agree with you that it's worse these days. Now, the kids practice active shooter drills. It turns out the USSR never did launch the missiles, but kids shooting up their school is so common it barely makes the news anymore.
