I don't know about outside the US, but the impression I have is, Star Wars toys have mostly been a universal bust, especially of the items that are from new Star Wars and not the original. You can find a lot of info if you search about Rose Tico toys. The Tico toys aren't necessarily the worst (e.g. Admiral Holdo toys), but fans/critics like to use the Tico toy as demonstration of how badly Disney has miscalculated their Star Wars strategy.

Baby Yoda toys were an exception to the rule. But even Baby Yoda toys have their own story of missteps in this saga. Disney was caught completely flat-footed by the success of Baby Yoda and did not have any toys ready to go at the launch of The Mandalorian. Disney was overcompensating for the toy disaster after all the movies, (which also made their toy make partners very unhappy). (I think Hasbro is one of the main suppliers.) Then when Baby Yoda was a surprise hit, and fans were going to things like CafePress out of desperation for anything, Disney desperately scrambled to get anything out as fast as possible. If I recall, they had to bypass their normal partner Hasbro and go to Mattel just to get something to market fast. This is almost unheard of.

Baby Yoda is the only merch hit they have, but there are now retailer signs showing demand saturation. And for Star Wars fans who follow all the shows, like The Mandalorian, people are saying it looks like Baby Yoda was supposed to have left the show, completing his arc around the end of season 2 or The Book of Boba Fett. But rumors say, Disney desperate to keep Baby Yoda in the spotlight, forced him back into the show, with rumors Baby Yoda is going to appear in a bunch of other future Star Wars shows, like the new Rey Skywalker-Palpatine show.

I also forgot to mention the The Star Wars Galactic Cruiser experience. People also keep track of open bookings in that hotel and show it is mostly empty. There are lots of estimates of how much this cost to build and what the operating expenses are (all this is very expensive), and it once again indicates this is a massive money loser for Disney.
I still fail to see what a strike from 40 years ago has to do with a worker shortage today. Especially because many different industries are reporting shortages. The strike was 40 years ago, are your really claiming that people suddenly remembered it and are now refusing to work? That’s an incredibly disingenuous take.
> I know it’s controversial, but there’s a group of us who truly believe that yes, the car companies are wrong about what customers want, as those of us who want and desire subcompact vehicles keep being told we are wrong.

If you are right, and there is demand, that'a a 10-100 billion $ business opportunity right there.

That's rather interesting. In late summer when I think there are lot of bugs in the grass, I would find if I had my headlamp with the default white light (even fairly dim) they tended hit my face more to my liking when walking in my backyard. But putting on the red LED almost none annoyed me.

Your snarky argument is against the concept of copyright itself. Such a radical point of view deserves better exposition.
Canada has more expensive cellular service than the US which its self has more expensive service than EU.

It seems likely that population density is playing a role not just regulations. Sure there’s gaps in every country, but companies need to do more than just cover major cities or what’s the point of having a cellphone?
Let's be clear, then: there is a business problem, organizational problem, and communication problem, all of which is now dictating the software architecture.

If we're saying we have to do Conway's Law, we're admitting it's because we don't want to solve the above problems. If we say we don't want to follow Conway's Law, it means we have to deal with the above problems.

These problems are not insurmountable. But someone "in charge" does have to give a shit about them and decide the company is going to directly address them. And it's not just in service of architecture for its own sake; it's in service of a product being built better, so the customers and employees can be happier, which can then drive profits.

You can always get profits another way - be a monopoly, exploit a market flaw, lie, cheat, steal, pressure your employees, cut costs until the product bleeds, offshore, exploit tax havens, or all of the above and more. But happy customers and employees is more sustainable. Not as much growth, but the company will still be around in 20 years without having to fight for survival.
please stop using the phrase unborn child. We don’t call eggs unborn chickens.

For coverage it’s Verizon > AT&T > T-Mobile. So maybe it was awful compared to Verizon, but it can be worse. I remember a doctor friend I was hiking a mountain with (La Plata, a 14k ft peak in Colorado) who took a patient call at the very summit.

I think what needs to be pointed out more than anything is that back in these times the scene around electronic music was a radical racial integrator.

it's more that such information about the subject and whatever else is not stated until necessary and not more times than necessary.

If a mother were talking to the counsellor in school about her son's performance in school, and she suddenly asked 친구 있어요 ?, then she's almost certainly asking "Does he have friends?" and so on. If she happens to not be speaking about her son for whatever reason, she can make that known too by adding an extra word. Point is that it happens only when it needs to.

In English, Pulling up a "Friend Have?" will get a mark of confusion no matter the surrounding context. English doesn't prime you to expect information conveyed in such a manner.

Exactly this.

Journalism is such a joke these days - their agenda of sowing discord is blatant. Those familiar with the history of techno wouldn't call it a battle at all. It was about P.L.U.R. It wasn't pretentious and divisive like this generation.

The kid is the one in class choosing not to read. Parents can be destructive influences on kids, but kids also do have free will and destructive influences amongst their peers who they choose to associate with.

Shorts are mostly just “here’s a weird or unexpected thing, look how weird or unexpected it is”. There’s also regular, formulaic stuff like Half as Interesting which tend to be about one paragraph of information laboriously spread out over five minutes of generic stock footage and painfully tedious jokes.

YouTube, at its best, are the videos where someone genuinely interested in a topic can show you why it’s interesting and hold your attention, allowing the content to dictate the length. CGP Grey probably being the most perfect prototypical example of this. Or it could come in the form of a Richard Feynman lecture, with absolutely no production value needed beyond reasonably intelligible audio.
Having spent a considerable time in the Mines of Microsoft, I see what you're getting at but argue that unless you're shipping proprietary, closed source code, this is just unnecessary.

It's much simpler to just mark fields as private with some convention. If callers want to muck with your struct, they will. Opaque types is a big stick, I rarely reach for it. Occasionally it's useful, but I struggle to recall when a simpler, less hostile approach was worse.
Just a few years ago during the government shutdown controllers were legit concerned about being paid (and from what I recall - they weren't. Airlines were literally sending pizzas to control towers and facilities).

I do agree with many of your points here, but just to nitpick...

> (fact) Americans are ambitious to a fault...9 to 5 in the suburbs is not an endgame for me.

So you state this as a fact about Americans in general, but then use yourself as the only proof. Isn’t 9 to 5 in the suburbs basically the end goal that most Americans dream of?

I definitely think that Americans are more entrepreneurial than most, but other cultures are equally ambitious in different ways.

> (opinion, maybe fact) The consequences of failure in America are lower

The idea of losing access to health care, going bankrupt and still being unable to rid oneself of crippling student loan debt sounds terrifying to me, and if I were living in the US I’d think twice about taking the sort of risks that I’d be ok with taking in a “welfare state”.
It may be smarter than the average human, but probably not smarter than trained humans specialized in ATC, at this particular time.

ATC in particular depends on exact phrasing, in issuing commands, acknowledgement, and repetition back, so GPT’s ability to fudge something nice sounding is actually pretty bad.

This feels like it's too broad of a question to get a good answer in any short format, but I have previously seen and will paraphrase here a better question:

.

Is there a canonical source for the argument that most of the probability space of entities that human civilization might:

(a) Qualify as AGI

(b) Cause to come into existence in the near future

corresponds to entities that would have both:

(i) goals involving the ruin of human civilization

(ii) the ability to carry out those goals?

.

This framing is better at inhibiting the people who lack significant math and/or ML knowledge from participating, which seems a priority for any public internet discussion about probability distributions over NNs and transformers.
You’re correct that conservatism seeks to preserve natural hierarchies. It arises from a worldview that says that things are the way they are for reasons, and that efforts to reshape the world according to human machinations are susceptible to failure. “Keeping people at the bottom” is often a side-effect of that worldview, insofar as conservatives are naturally distrustful of large scale efforts at social change.

> 1. Social conservatives - anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, Christian

Social conservatism is where “black and brown people” have the most in common with white republicans: https://news.gallup.com/poll/112807/blacks-conservative-repu.... By contrast, social liberalism was invented by white people. It arises out of the intense individualism that’s unique to white European societies.

That’s why the GOP had its best performance in decades among minorities in 2022, despite underperforming expectations among white people. Social liberalism—specifically abortion—didn’t motivate minority voters in the same way as it did white voters. That’s why DeSantis and Youngkin straight up won Hispanics in states Obama won twice, by focusing on cultural issues. That’s why, back in 2000, Muslims got George W. Bush elected: https://www.cair.com/cair_in_the_news/survey-shows-bush-supp... (“In key states like Florida, where Mr. Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore by just 537 votes, CAIR says Muslims in that state preferred the president over his opponent by 64-thousand votes.”). Luckily for liberals, it’s very difficult to get different groups of conservatives to trust each other.

I’m frankly offended at the insinuation that I’m a libertarian! I’m a typical “brown” American—I voted for Biden but tell my kids they can’t have tattoos like the white people.

Cuba is in a unique position to be a ridiculously wealthy country. They can flaunt US long-arm jurisdiction (ie: FATCA) and act as a safe heaven for US/EU monies. The embargo on Cuba is pretty much self-imposed by the their current regime.

I work consistent 60 to 70 hour weeks with two young children. My wife is stay at home mom and I like to stay up very late. I have been doing entrepreneurial stuff for several years but even when I was an employee I worked long hours. It helped me learn very quickly and avoid layoffs compared to my peers.

I think a lot of people want to work-to-live rather than live-to-work. I don't take anything for granted, I am always hustling and trying to provide more for my family and a better life than I had growing up. I see free enterprise as satisfying the wants of people voluntarily, which is the most noble way you can help people IMO. So I work long hours with the personal opinion that I am helping society the best way I possibly can.
I'd imagine telehealth played a fairly large roll. White crispy video calls are not that demanding individually 10s to 100s of them at scale per location (and an exponential increase of calls in general) might be something more of a problem for that sort of infrastructure.

People use it very inconsistently but I think it now for most people means something like a living digital person with god-like superintelligence although the personhood part is very fuzzy.

I always wanted it to apply to any general purpose AI including things like GPT-4, since we don't have another term for that. But in most people's fuzzy brains it connotes being alive, conscious, animal/humanlike, fully autonomous and usually they also assume it has become a million times smarter than human in a short time frame.
Decades back when I had a training slot for Chicago (probably not hard in mid 80’s), they told me “the younger the better”. 18 year olds were eligible as long as they were 19 by finishing at OKC and were more willing to handle the stress, rotating shifts and survive three years of hell to get to journeyman.

Journeymen were making $180K at Center back then. Way more than most First Officers.

Housing in Austin metro has gone up in recent years but it is still 1/3 the price of a home in the Bay Area or San Diego.

Property taxes are proportionately higher than in California but lower on an absolute basis for a similar property due to the large difference in purchase prices.

No state income taxes means most people with decent incomes will come out ahead in Texas.

What the sister comment says about healthcare in Texas is true, unfortunately. Most healthcare providers are private equity backed and treat healthcare as an assembly line. It is difficult to find providers who prioritize quality care over checking boxes.

As for publicly available plans I don’t have personal experience, but I don’t doubt the sister comment’s claims. Best have a good job with a quality healthcare plan.
I’ve felt that way many times on other frameworks and abstractions

I personally find Next.js to be a simplicity (and this article to be contrived and overcomplicated)

What I personally like:

The React router system is greatly simplified with all scaffolding removed in favor of a Link tag more similar to html’s a tag

Folder structure based API system that has no vendor locking, just standardization to what REST best practices already are, instead of relying on everyone having that discipline

Ability to deviate for other network communication paradigms if its important

some other things, but really it just simplifies what many of us already learned to do, and thats what most languages and frameworks do for the time period they were released in.
I think any fish requiring such freezing likely would have been frozen to spec before it got to Costco or any restaurants. I’ve never asked any of the seafood purveyors I know about it, but I do know you can buy the stuff from them and use it immediately. I don’t trust the government for much but when it comes to being overly regulatory on food safety they’re pretty tough to beat. If it’s being sold ready to use I’m sure it was processed before, and there’s a HACCP plan in place to ensure it.
