The other commenter already made the point that not all work has an economic value higher than the legally-mandated floor of wages, which I'll take as axiomatically true and won't explore further.

The more interesting follow-on point, however, is that people have to start somewhere, and effects compound over time. Someone fresh out of high school or college is, generally speaking, useless at any given job on day one. Most job training happens on the job, even for people with college degrees. A new employee is a double cost to the employer until they reach proficiency; they have to be paid wages, and they take time away from somebody else who has to train them.

And through that path someone learns not only the job-specific skill, but also the general skill of being a productive member of the workforce: discipline, time management, grit, people skills. Over time this learning compounds, and they move up in income.

The way that a minimum wage that is too high is unfriendly to the already-underserved is precisely because they miss out on that critical experience. Sure, it might seem exploitative at first glance if a local burger joint hires a kid right out of high school and pays them $5 an hour, and doubly so if the kid is from a disadvantaged class. But the fact is that they will learn from this experience (and crucially, more than just about flipping burgers) and level up and move on. The rich kid gets to skip this step and go right into a job that pays $30 an hour, because they have the unpaid internships and the social connections and everything else that makes them more prepared; that is, they have already leveled up to a degree.

Proponents of a higher minimum wage imply a picture where the people getting paid minimum or near-minimum wages are stuck there for life, perhaps for generations. Actual data shows otherwise; only a third of people born to parents in the bottom quintile of incomes remain in that same bottom quintile in their own adulthood. And on the other side, only a third of people born in the top quintile remain there. Under some analyses, the only group that stagnated were the beneficiaries of greatly increased government benefits borne of the Great Society programs in the 60s. Those people were disincentivized from working and therefore never up-skilled.

A higher minimum wage has a similar effect: it will necessarily mean fewer young people join the workforce earlier on in their lives, and again, because their experiences compound, will mean that over their lifetimes they will be worse off.

I have no strong feelings about salary transparency laws, but am generally in favor.
Popularity is irrelevant. This is what is right and how things should be. Obviously nobody wants to be held responsible for anything but that's not how society works. People must be held responsible for their actions and lending money to a bank is one such action. Anything else means everyone's paying paying the bill every single time some banker's "safe investments" cause an economic crisis.

Why the hell doesn't the government come running to bail us out when we lose money? I want special banker privileges too. Maybe the government should bail out Tether as well and put an end to those "unbacked" concerns. It's for the best, right?
I don't think it is completely unreasonable in the future. But I'm personally good with what we've got in this style. We don't need another A Love Supreme. We've already got it. It was fun when Both Directions at Once was discovered, but it isn't like it was something that we needed in 2018.

People will still want to create their sound, and that'll lead to new music over time that isn't just imitation.

> then 80% of them are there just for the paycheck.

90/10 rule: 10% of the workers do 90% of the work.

> I think you are assuming too much competence

I'm not assuming any particular competence, competence on the subject is not required to be a lawmaker, if expertise is needed consultants gets hired (I have briefly been a consultant for EU on tech matters).

I am simply saying that in places like the EU commission the only thing that matters is to reach a good enough compromise such as it would pass the test of the vote.

That's the only thing that is required from a law proposal.

It sucks for SBF, but keep in perspective the suffering and hardship he's caused lots of people by costing them their savings.

Just because a long sentence sucks doesn't mean we should forget what criminals did to deserve it and all the suffering they caused their victims.

In some cases you can argue that the punishment is out of whack, but we're talking about someone who embezzled billions (an incomprehensible amount of money to most people) in the pursuit of his own greed and enrichment.
Exactly. Tailwind and CSS-in-JS are both a reaction to the limitations of React JSX and how poorly it treats HTML and CSS.

If Vue/Svelte had gotten the popularity React has you would see a lot more people realizing that SFCs and scoped style blocks solve most of the problems people poorly solved with CSS-in-JS.

Tailwind has some other benefits to it like good token setup and ability to copy paste from project to project and have it just work, but the mess it makes of your templates and the difficulty of then editing it down the line doesn't make those benefits worth it.
Yes. A digital journal, to be exact. Of things done, things thought, and things to look forward to. It's quite extensive, and I add many things (quotes/snippets/code/readings) to it, and it's a one-stop for everything.

> The fact that inhuman labels can sneak in stops me

Stops you from what? I'm not sure what you mean there. No one mentioned inhuman. Someone, not me, instantiated a "labels for humans" concept and I roll with that, for the sake of conversation.

>> Primary keys?
> Do those accept any bytes in a bag?

Well, a "bag" (unordered) would not be the right term, but we understand what the original author meant (a bytestring), so: Yes, in fact they do. For instance, PostgreSQL:

create table bla (joyfulkey bytea PRIMARY KEY)

We don't want identifiers mangled. Should you be so unfortunate to have to use bytestrings as primary keys, then they'll come out the way you put them in. Because they're unambiguous identifiers. Not prose.

> So you just want normalisation-preserving filesystem?

I want an identity-preserving filesystem. And I have it!

> But I see that you care so little about human users that you think they should learn to avoid Á outside of letters to grandma...

I care a lot about human users. I give them nice file pickers so that they can easily choose to open files named ÁÁÁ.docx. Or search for those, using a system where both query and index is normalized (as is the common approach).
And the other kind of users, also human, who find they care about the identity of files since they're writing that search engine and have to pass them in an argument vector to get the PDF viewer to open the file that the user found, will be most happy if they don't need to worry about the file system second-guessing them on identities.

PS There's a lot of you-this you-that ad-hominem things in your comments. That's not really the best way to hold a discussion.

I was also surprised not to see the Niagara River on the list, which is the largest river near me and, when seen up close, clearly transports a staggering amount of water.

Reviewing the Wikipedia article about the Niagara [1], it appears that this is an oversight, because with an average discharge rate of 5,796 m3/s, it should be #49 on this list. I went to edit the page to fix that issue, but it looks like doing so requires manually updating the "No" (number) column, which I don't have time for right now.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be shitty, I'm just moderately ignorant of italian politics but aware that internal political vocabulary doesn't always line up with external expectations.

Also, idk, maybe there is a much more right party I'd never heard of. Or like, I would describe the US as having a center-right party and a far-right party, could be a rhetorical choice like that.

Anyway thanks for the clarification.
John Gruber seems not to be a gentleman after reading about his behaviour in the story of CommonMark’s name: https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-commo...

Jeff Atwood instead is remarkably compliant. I personally would have been instisting on „Common Markdown“. Especially with the reasoning, with John Gruber just not-replying until publishing and then being a child and applying double standards, when he himself caused the need for CommonMark due to the inconsistent description of Markdown’s grammar.
A tangent from the point of the post, but Komar & Melamid did a similar "experiment" with music to produce both the most wanted and most unwanted songs, and the results are amazing/hilarious.

The most unwanted song, for example, features all the thing people dislike in music (according to their surveys): opera singers rapping about cowboys, bagpipes, uncomfortably slow tempos, and choirs of children singing ad jingles among other things.

The book The Fat of the Land by Vilhjalmur Stefansson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilhjalmur_Stefansson) describes how the Eskimos he lived with ate rotten fish all the time. It was a delicacy for them.

Kind of like we eat "rotten/spoiled" blue cheese and dry-aged beef.
That’s just CSS variables, you don’t need Tailwind for that.
I disagree. I think radical ideologies, fatherless homes (e.g. broken homes, divorce), big pharma and their minions (doctors) who over-prescribe pharmaceuticals to the American population, boys who are given no guidance on how to become a man and interact successfully with the opposite sex -- I think those things are fundamentally responsible for gun violence.

But as I read in a book about systems: it's a lot more comforting to think that the problem is somewhere "out there", rather than confronting the fact that our system is setting up people to fail.

It's a lot easier to point at guns and say, "let's get these off the streets!", rather than confront the more difficult reality of everything I mentioned.
I went for OpenSuse & Linux Mint, no complaints.
For my use case, the details of the userland CLI is mostly irrelevant (particularly since I maintain a FreeBSD server, which means I’m reasonably familiar with both BSD and GNU styles of these tools). Most of the time it just needs to exist, not be any particular version, and exceptions are handled well by Homebrew. Third party apps with UIs being up to date is more important.
No it’s not and stop trying to be smarter by saying it’s always been this way.

Go look at art of different societies from as near as 150 years ago. Spanish, French, English, and American fashion, architecture, and style are wildly different compared to the sea of homeginity of today.

I am tired of hacker news for always having these shallow “smarter than you” sage comments that completely miss the point. It’s just like the article pointed out. At scale here everyone’s comment is “no you’re wrong because [some mundane detail observation that misses the point].” It’s like engineer cognitive scale Markov chain.
>> This article argues that from film to fashion and architecture to advertising, creative fields have become dominated and defined by convention and cliché. Distinctiveness has died. In every field we look at, we find that everything looks the same.

It’s a very sad thing to witness, the death of uniqueness, distinct identity. Part of me hesitatingly attributes it to wokeness and cancel culture. People are more afraid now than ever of being cancelled. This makes it harder to be unique for fear of being offensive. With that comes a true regression to the mean.

Welcome to the age of average
It's not the age of average, it's the age of utility.
I vastly read that as a wacky joke though.
> Because of who is behind the unpopular thing, and who has power to make (thing) happen.

Who? The government that's currently banning it?

> Nuclear weapons are also deeply unpopular.

Consumers can't just not buy nuclear weapons and cause them to stop existing. This has nothing to do at all with a food product.

> The market won't have a say when bureaucrats pass a law mandating every burger or sausage should contain a % of lab-grown meat, with the % increasing every year.

Why would they do this? And wouldn't the people who had to do this be the same Italian government that's clearly anti-lab grown meat? If they switch to that stance won't this ban be easily rescinded anyways? If there's a lab meat boogie man with the power to make new laws what does this ban really do?

Chatgpt is an amazing learning tool, currently it helped me understand scripting very quickly and expanded what I was never would thought to do.

"state school" doesn't have anything to do with the name having the word "state" in it.

it means the school is funded by the individual states; it's not private.

U of Texas is absolutely and unquestionable a state school -- it is funded and run by the state of Texas. People absolutely would refer to it in the category of "state schools" -- it's not a private institution compared to something like Rice or Baylor.
This is achievable in a much nicer way with SFC frameworks like Vue and Svelte where you also get scoped styles and other benefits. One of the reasons Tailwind is so popular is that so few developers know anything other than React.
What the article describes is correct, but I don't think the words "average" or "homogeneity" or "conformity" are the right terms, as they seem to carry negative connotations here. Rather, the right word is "convergence".

The point is, people like certain things aesthetically. It used to be that artists and designers were still trying to figure out what looks good, and trying all the things. But now we've tried so many things and we've gotten better at zeroing in the precise aesthetics viewers and consumers want. We've converged.

Sure, you can design electric toothbrush branding that "stands out", but it's probably going to result in less sales. Because most people don't want to express their unique personality via their electric toothbrush, they just want a nice slim white object that blends into their sink area.

The great mistake that this article makes is thinking that people need to be constantly expressing themselves in some unique way that nobody's ever done before. But the world has almost 8 billion people, few things are as unique as you think.

Can't we just enjoy having nice things? Even if those things have converged aesthetically? They've converged because we think they're nice. Things don't need to be different just for the sake of being different. Because different can also be worse.
Hopefully binance didn't straight up steal customer funds like FTX. It's profitable enough to charge hefty fees (compared to tradfi) and use customer info to feed your quant algorithms or act as a market maker.

On the one hand, I've been anticipating regulatory action for quite a while now. Crypto enables ransomware and other crime, although it does make it easier to track criminals. So it perhaps helps small time crooks and harms sophisticated ones. But if you're sophisticated enough you'll just switch back to cash. So I'm not sure why it's still permitted, aside from the legal difficulty of suddenly banning something you've already allowed for so long.

Then again, over the last several years long term treasuries have been an even more harmful pump n dump scheme (orchestrated by the Fed) due to their scale.
It is possible to get an apt package, you have to jump through a few hoops but it can be done; I do it every time I install Ubuntu (frequently) because I won't touch that snap shite again.

I can't move work off of Ubuntu; it's too embedded now, but I'm looking for something else for home. Switching distro-base isn't so easy when you've been using it for decades though; I tried NixOS but it wasn't comfortable (Nix is a steep learning curve), though their community is top notch, and everything I do is deb based.

Looking for a way to get a modern debian (something akin to non-LTS Ubuntu) or just go all out and switch to something Arch based like EndeavourOS.
Usually the person with the ability to create the best products and services is the one with the deepest reservoir of background knowledge and aesthetic taste that they can apply to a given problem.

So, for example, someone who can productively spend 100 hours working on a blog post is probably going to get win out against someone who can only productively spend 5 hours working a blog post on the same topic.

And given a society where 99% of the rewards go to 1st place, 1% of the rewards go to 2nd place, and 0% of the rewards go to everyone else, having this ability is usually more valuable than the ability to pump out a little more work in some fixed amount of time.
> I would have to come with some encoding method so nobody but you and me can understand this message.

That obviously strengthen the chances of the messages staying private, but we had privacy long before encryption.

Phone calls could not be listened to and letters could not be opened, without proper authorization.

Obviously someone did, but that someone was breaking the law.

You have the right to privacy in your own house, of course someone could look inside from a window, but if that's an habit, that someone is breaking the law.

etc. etc.

Talking about the convergence of global brands in the digital space and how that affects the physical spaces we occupy would have been really interesting way of framing trends. Especially regarding how a brand can stand out in a homogeneous world that seems to favor the known. But what do I know?

Lots of people, actually. Its more common than you would think!

The hardest part is matchmaking and (optionally) escrow.

LocalBitcoin originally did this for IRL but then stopped as they were slapped by a regulator. They were taking a cut from the escrow and acting as a custodial wallet, which made it easy to spank them.

They are now kaput.

There are other, less stupid, platforms that replace them.

The potential for workflow efficiency (you can effectively have as many monitors as you want with the profile of a VR headset, remote work is even more portable than a laptop, looking at another desktop can be just as intuitive as another monitor on your own, more immersive and tune-able environment to focus on work) & display of data in 3d that is otherwise too unnavigable in 2D were really promising. Maybe we'll get there in another 10 years when the VR tech cycle completes its orbit again.

My understanding is they are both "LLM" (Large language models). That's the generic term you are looking for.

I don't think you can compare one LLMs weights to another directly, because the weights are a product of the LLM. In theory (I don't know actually) llama and chatGPT may be using different source datasets so you can't compare them like for like.
Worth keeping in mind solar farms also reduce the direct water loss from the surface because they create shadow and temperatures get reduced.
