I'm guessing it got voted down because it's a pretty tenuous link. I read the title as pronounced like "dark", and probably most other people did too, since an "e" is usually silent if placed at the end of the word after a consonant.

I don't think most people would make the connection to the slur, and that's if they even know the slur exists, since it's pretty antiquated.
I have to disagree with you. I know people who genuinely spend 10+ hours a day on the net, completely wasting their time. These aren't people who are browsing HN for short breaks while working. These are the people who live in their parents basements or dorm rooms playing league of legends, watching twitch or browsing reddit while ignoring classes, education and/or serious work.

Newspapers and radio didn't result in people spending 40+ hours a week following the news. There probably are some people addicted to TV, but it's such a minority that we don't consider it an issue.
The extent of Shah's concessions to US security concerns was allowing CIA to create monitoring stations north of Iran: listening posts. A section of the secret service in Iran (SAVAK) was specifically tasked with keeping tabs on Western intelligence in Iran. The second one, which was withdrawn after public pushback lead by Khomeini, was exempting American servicemen and workers (mostly aerospace in Isfahan) from legal jeopardy for any offences in Iran. That was rather toady.

"Cousins":

(it's a question of power asymmetries. Really did the poor Shah have any choice? Related thoughts: Is the Japanese PM "Installed" by US? Is the UK PM a "puppet" of US?)

And to be quite frank, as an Iranian born, the assertion that some American (Kermit Roosevelt) gets off the plane with a briefcase full of dollars and overnight "installs" the constitutional king of Iran is bascially a hidden insult to Iranians. What sort of a entirely pushover nation are they, these Iranians? It's a bad propaganda joke.

Secondly, the fact remains that the roughly 14 years (60s-early70s) that Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, yes as an autocract oversteppingn the bounds of the constitution, ran the place, Iran experienced its singularly most spectacular years in the 20th century. And the social progress, specially women's rights, are all due to the efforts of that man and his "regime".

US has nothing to apologize to Iran about viz a vis the Shah other than backstabbing a loyal ally in a time of crisis, and actively helping to usher in an entirely alien system, the "Islamic Republic of Iran"*, to power.

US chose Islamic Fundamentalism as a stretegic tool to further its geopolitical goals, and unleashed the hords on the world. US does need to come clean about that.

* (3 lies in one name, a world record!): It is not a republic. It is not Islam. And it certainly is not Iranian.
>That being said, for me when it comes to balance work (as in “working for company X for Z money/year) vs non-work, I put all the weight in non-work.

Absolutely. Although many folks don't have much physical interaction with other humans outside of their jobs. In that case, cutting out those interactions without some sort of alternative for human interaction is detrimental to most humans' mental health IMHO.

Since we're online here, there's a much larger proportion of neuro-atypical, introverted and/or misanthropic people than in the population at large, so I think the discussion is a bit skewed.

Which is why I posted what I did.

All that said, I don't disagree with your assessment at all. It's just important to have those interactions somewhere.

More directly addressing the topic in TFA, when I was pretty junior, personal interactions with more senior folks was crucial for me to understand the culture and political landscape of a large organization, even as a technical resource. And those lessons/mentoring have served me well in my career.

For me, those interactions happened over cigarettes (this was 30 years ago) and at the bar after work, but the result was the same as "water cooler" interactions.

As a more senior resource, those interactions weren't as useful, but I can certainly see where juniors could benefit greatly from a more senior person taking them under their wing.
Wow, what’s the secret to being so awesome? A whole generation just gets it.
Yes, that's what I'm writing about. The feature existed (whether Apple wanted it, or in this case, not). Then they removed it.
Hopefully they will publicly commit to only using this trademark defensively if granted. In other words, to give OpenAI the benefit of the doubt here, they may just want to prevent someone else from trademarking "GPT" and taking legal action against them.

Unemployment in the 40% range is beyond total societal collapse. The unemployment rate in Ukraine is 11% and they are currently being invaded. Sudan's unemployment rate was still under 20% while they were in a civil war.

So the OP is probably using "unemployment rate" incorrectly. But if they are in fact using the International Labor Organization's definition, then this is probably a self-correcting problem. Society will collapse and those working on the research an implementation of AI and robotics will find themselves on the streets begging for scraps (or getting hacked up by machete-welding gangs), instead of working on building robots to displace workers long before they achieve success.

Don't underestimate what a strong leader can achieve with an army of starving people willing to do practically anything to feed their families.

Because they don't have a second amendment? The comparison you should be paying attention to however is the rate of mass shootings within the US per year.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/10/mass-shootings-...

> While many mass shooters had mental-health problems, as the Mother Jones data shows, there is no reason to believe that there has been an increase in mental illness rates in the last several years that could help explain the rise in mass shootings. (In fact, federal research on the prevalence of severe mental illness shows a decrease in recent years.)

You can't rule out these things when you consider that delta-8-thc has only been found in noticeable amounts in marijuana since 2010 or so. That particular compound has been known to cause psychosis, which can cause other long-term cascading mental illness.

Arm's headcount is evenly split between the UK, US (lots of R&D done in the Austin offices), and India.

Same with AMD - most of their R&D is still done in the Bay Area and Texas, and based on LinkedIn their Germany employees make up 1% of total headcount.

Most R&D in the chips world is simply done in the US, Japan, SK, and Taiwan, with significant regional presences in Israel, China, India, Malaysia, and Singapore.

True, I don't have enough data to really make that claim. I can say that my own hardware hasn't changed in ~4 years and I've been using Steam for Linux since I built this machine. It's only within the last year or so that I started having major issues with the client.

> there is nothing special about the steam deck

How is first party support for the hardware and software stack "nothing special"?

> If it is bjorked that has nothing to do with Steam.

Maybe it's not directly related to the rest of my comment but it's related to the OP. I also think it's indicative of Valve's issues with Linux.
But the House has reformed the Lords repeatedly, and the Lords can't stop them.

actually, I think you are right. At least chatgpt agrees with your argument

[CHATGPT]
Specifically, my understanding of Donald Trump is not based on a single neuron, but rather on the collective activation of a large number of neurons distributed across the different layers of my neural network. Each neuron in my neural network represents a specific feature or concept that has been learned from the training data, and the activation of these neurons collectively contribute to my understanding of complex concepts like "Donald Trump".

I wonder if everyone can agree that "working together" should be a common goal.

All of these protocols are noble efforts. What I wish Dorsey had done though is establish a council of stakeholders to build a sort of "lingua franca" for them. It's obviously wishful thinking, but I think a lot of people are largely making the same thing. If we all want to be able to talk to everyone else, it doesn't make sense to treat this as a competitive arena.

We'll just have to see where things go. My guess is that people will converge back on an RSS-style standard that prioritizes openness, but it's anyone's call. We've settled on questionable standards before, we may do it again...

Sigh. Here's the word from the people in the PJM east coast grid control room.

Event 103876 -- 04.23.2023 15:29 PJM-RTO

Warning: Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning

A Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning has been issued for 15:29 on 04.23.2023 through 08:00 on 04.24.2023. A GMD warning of K7 or greater is in effect for this period.

Ended: 04.24.2023 08:00 (Eastern time)

This was a non-problem. It never got above the "Warning" level.

You can read the grid status live if you look through the PJM web site and figure out how to access the dashboard. There's also a long PJM training document on this that I linked the last time people got wound up about this.[1]

They're talking about "BarkBytes plugin" (for ChatGPT), not "BarkBytes" the service nor BarkBytes plugins for any other service.

When you have a "plugin", you've developed software that plugs into something. They're telling you how they'd like to be referred to when you build a plugin for ChatGPT.

They don't care how you phrase "BarkBytes Safari plugin", "BarkBytes plugin for Garmin", or whatever.

I don't understand the crusade against encryption. No ban has any chance of actually being effective at stopping criminals, they will just continue using open source software. All you end up doing is exposing law abiding citizens and corporations to an incredible amount of risk, because suddenly all their critical private data is secured with a common backdoor that can be abused by anyone who finds it. Adding backdoors to commercial encryption is practically handing the Kremlin or CCP the keys to all our critical infrastructure.

Language of "addiction" or not,

your assertion is false. There are pragmatic and meaningful differences between different media and communications technologies, and these differences have been remarked upon and considered for decades.

It is neither controversial nor remarkable nor indeed anything but common knowledge that algorithmic social media > social media > online media > televised media > radio > print for a related constellation of properties—many of which related, by design, to our relationship and attention to them.

Our attention and reward systems in specific have been the explicit and focused target of billions of dollars of R&D and product testing, with the result that the dopamine pellet conditioning paradigm of contemporary social media and related online properties, are literally unlike anything we have encountered as a species before, and no exaggeration to say, that we are utterly defenseless in the face of.

Understanding the mechanisms of attention and reward manipulation, and of the consequent utility and increasing application of such factors in service of using these systems as mechanisms of social influence and behavioral conditioning, is no defense. No more than understanding the mechanisms of the appeal to us of fat, salt, and sugar, or for that matter alcohol, nicotine, or opiates, is.

There is no defense other than opting out, tuning out, blocking out. And that is not defense against being surveilled.

Should we call meticulously tuned conditioned behavior addiction? Depends on the forum. Addiction medicine specialists will no doubt have their own opinion.

For the rest of us, yes, it's obviously and undeniably addiction, in the lay sense, and this entirely by design.
>you would need to come up with a legal differentiation between a smartphone and a game console

Not really, they can just leave it up to the court's interpretation. "I know it when I see it" has been used in a court before. Just define it as a smartphone: No one is going to call a gaming console a smartphone, nor vice versa.

And applying a ruling to a specific industry isn't new either: see that Hollywood anti-trust case again. It was never applied to TV shows. Otherwise Netflix Exclusives wouldn't be a thing. Or any other "Only on Disney Channel/Cartoon Network/etc" show.
The commentor who indicates that status signalling went political is correct
Maybe 10 years ago that would be true. Amazon isn’t the only online store with that feature anymore, though. I got a rug from Target in 2 days. Walmart also directly competes.

The amount of profit Amazon will make from “Tom Lesley” and the like is negligible compared to the actual long term reputational damage that low quality products do to their brand.

I literally say you don't need to have a lawn. Just don't mistake being lazy and not doing anything for somehow being a virtuous environmentalist. Build a prairie - it looks great when done well. But you have to put some work and thought into it. Just letting your lawn overgrow is not the way.

In this thread I even mention using clover if you really don't want to manage much and have a ground cover that prevents erosion and is attractive to bees that doesn't need fertilizer because it draws nitrogen from the air.

But yes, if you do nothing and let a lawn just overgrow I'm happy the town will cut it down and charge you.
> You can not install apps not from the app store

There are several ways to install apps that do not go through the app store.

Your company can have an enterprise certificate that allows in-house apps to be run on company devices without needing to go through the app store approval process or the app store. You are not supposed to use that enterprise certificate to publish apps to the general public, although companies have been caught doing so in the past.

If you have a paid developer account, you can test your own apps on devices owned by your company and your customers.

Anyone can get a free Apple Developer account that allows you to test apps on your own device.
Here's my favorite example: Plans for the Empire State Building announced August 29, 1929. Construction began on March 17, 1930. The building formally opened on May 1, 1931.

I'm not jealous. People with the exact same skills are landing jobs at McKinsey selling this bullshit to the C-suite. These guys are at best scraping the bottom of the barrel (Twitter impressions) to sell a course.
You've described the counterpoint perfectly to your argument.

It would take billions of dollars and 50+ years of development to have a chance. You would also need phone partners, which wouldn't go with a small OS maker. So you'd need to make the phones + the OS + the app store.

A deli can start anywhere with ~$10k and they'll have clients if they're good enough.

It's not feasible to compete with Android + IOS, even Microsoft and Amazon failed.

They therefore have a duopoly of the mobile app store market.

There's really no such thing as upper-class jobs; upper class is pretty much defined by not needing a job - the capitalists, landlords, CEO, investors and "heirs"; unlike the upper end of middle class which consists of professionals like lawyers, doctors and (recently) software developers which may have high incomes but aren't upper class because they do need to continuously work for that.

I can’t see how native Linux support is getting worse. Linux users are good at bug reporting. Maybe some developers should care more about compatibility. And yes, especially the heterogeneous setups used by some makes support difficult.

I’m worried that Valve puts too much resources into Proton (derivate of WINE) instead of tooling for native ports. Yes, Proton is needed to provide initial compatibility. But Proton is another layer of complexity (more bugs, integration, system resources) which requires more programming. I started playing CS again after it was ported natively in 2014, it runs well and all issues with WINE were gone.

If Proton becomes to “good” we end up in a situation with a high maintenance burden for Valve. Game developers will rely on it and Valve has all the constant work. Instead game developers should treat Linux as first-class platform for AAA-Titles, for which the need appropriate APIs, compatibility and tooling. As Valve does itself support Linux as first-class platform from HL2 to CSGO. The target shall be official support from the very first day.

Anyway. Looks like Valve has chosen a special implementation for TF2? What I miss here is a link to a bug report. Ideally opened months ago :)
