This is THE argument to working less IMO.

However, if we do not take into account which forces drive long working hours then we will not get closer to achieving short working hours.

oversimplified, but, long hours, overtimes, etc are driven by the simple fact that capitalists 1) have running costs that keep running when their workers don't work 2) the technological degradation of the means of production accelerates as time goes by.

Thus, an enterprise has the economic motive to squeeze out as much value as possible, as soon as possible out of their productive means (machinery, buildings, equipment). However, the only way to do that is to get people to work.

Taylorism may had it's problems (as described in this article - I do not have any sources) but in general, higher work intensity and longer hours do produce higher yields in industry and manual jobs. in such jobs, stress and burnout are not a considerable factor to employers because of how easily replacable their workers are. Simply put, workers are being squeezed empty and thrown away when they are unable to carry on. That's why younger people are prefered due to their bilogical ability to endure more compared to older people.

Surely I see why shorter hours are more productive and that was also proven in the past durring the times when workers demanded 12 - 10 - 8 hour days. But I do not see why the majority of the global enterprises will choose employee wellness over constant use of their machinery, I think they can only be forced into such a change, not convinced
NP-completeness is not a problem at all. Compilers already solve multiple NP-complete problems in the course of compilation after all, for example register allocation. They require heuristics to be solved in a reasonable time, but the upside is that there is no gold standard since there are pathological cases for any heuristic. Presumably, a representative set of crates from the ecosystem will be chosen to find performance issues.

The underspecified part should not be a deal breaker, even though it's certainly a difficulty. But it will also be an opportunity to spot suboptimal implementation choices in rustc. Exposing these will improve the language as a whole.
Don't forget about using cheques and having to use third-party applications for money transfer between people (Venmo, CashApp).

Americans always seem to come up with an excuse for why they are slower, like a comment higher in this thread, despite the rest of the world moving on with more convenient and accessible technologies. Is it an overly defensive culture?
Now they're just going to train on that too and cause more weird side effects
» As an example third party Reddit apps largely are single platform.

I don't have skin in this conversation
but I just want to call out your fallacy here.

It is kind of cheating a little to give reddit apps as an example here because as long as you can get on reddit somehow, you are a part of the network. You don't have to use the same app as the other guy...
In general if no one cares does it make it an ethical issue? No one cares if you kill an ant. No one cares if you kill during a war. If what we value vs what we do becomes out of sync an ethical issue arises

We haven't been able to remove biase in society. We just added more layers. The more you try to hide the truth to remove baise you start creating your own. The closer we come to accepting the truth the closer we get to solving bias by addressing it not erasing it.

AI ethics should cover economic issues brought on by AI. The already discuss sociological issues
I really appreciate the advice. I was probably going to take the internship anyways but it is nice to get some validation that I'm not making a bad mistake. The pay is definitely good but with large city living expenses I'd likely not be taking home any life changing amt of money. Looking at everything in terms of connections is an interesting perspective and it makes the decision a little bit easier. I'm sure I will fall on my face much more than I anticipate, but that's just part of it I guess :). Thanks
Apply pay (with faceID) is a much better experience than chip+pin.

Look at healthcare during covid.

My province in Canada has treated healthcare workers like absolute shit and now the leaders and the people who voted for them are genuinely shocked that those healthcare workers are leaving the industry or finding jobs elsewhere.

It's absolutely insane because you need these people to train the next generation of healthcare workers which isn't going to happen now because they're leaving.

Different years.

> At the same time, I don't know how to properly measure human productivity. I mean, how do you compare productivity of people working at OpenAI to productivity of people working at Walmart?

Exactly. Just because Ireland has a lot of services HQed there due to a beneficial tax regime doesn't make an Irish person working 40h at Google who count all EU revenues there more or less productive than someone working at a midsized German manufacturer of critical car components (say brakes).

GDP per hour worked is the least bad way of measuring we have, and I'm not aware of other ones. It can easily be skewed though, because it relies on a poor metric at its base, GDP.

My point was just that the difference between US and EU is minimal, with the imperfect way of measuring it. If anyone has a better way I'm all ears, but I highly doubt it will show anything different.

If it is a large chunk [as you said] of your hard earned money, do not shell it out unless you are really sure.
In the worst case, you will still have your money with you. In the other case, you lose your hard-earned money forever, plus time and emotional energy. When in doubt, walk away.

Along with the other questions shared by HNers:

What kind of social media management are they doing? Is it in a fast shrinking area? What has been the CATEGORIZED revenue flow FOR EACH SERVICE CATEGORY for the last three months? How about for six months?

What are the revenues generated from each of the top ten clients? Is it skewed? Or, are there only three or four clients?

Is the revenue based on a (monthly) subscription model? Or do you have to keep selling every month?

What will make the clients to stick with you, post-acquisition? Will the seller do something similar after the sale? Does the seller have any involvement with any similar businesses? Any of his friends or family in the same business?

Why are they really selling? They may or may not tell you that, you will need to infer that.
From my understanding, don't you have to reinstall the apps every week since they expire and disappear from your phone? That's an awful experience for daily use.

Not money, per se, but income. Without income, you can't produce anything. Income could be volunteer labour, or donations of physical goods, or proceeds from the sale of goods or services, but without a solid (business) plan that lays out how you're going to maintain a consistent level of income to support your activities, you probably won't be able to survive as an organization.

The basic logic is that if you don't eat, you will eventually starve to death. You might get by for a while on stored fat (savings), but eventually your body will begin to consume itself (debt) and eventually die (bankruptcy).

If you insist that charity and abundance are both measured in dollars, then charity isn't really a good thing, because it can only start with sucking up a bunch of resources, far beyond what you need. This model of charity is a farce: having accumulated resources they have no right to, the rich get to do good when and where it's convenient for them, giving away resources that weren't theirs to give. Bill Gates accumulated billions selling the results of other people's labor during the height of the AIDS epidemic, the Rwandan Genocide, the crack epidemic, the war on drugs, rising homelessness, etc., only founding the Gates foundation in 2000. We're supposed to applaud him for ignoring problems for 25 years so he can look good taking on a few politically uncontroversial problems now? No thanks.

As it turns out, skilled labor is a resource that can be given charitably, without having to amass vast resources at other people's expense. Paul Farmer or Jonas Salk have changed more lives than the Gates foundation, without accumulating "abundance"--Jonas Salk even refused to patent the polio vaccine.
FlexLM is still going "strong" and used to encumber many scientific pieces of software widely used. It's exactly as you describe and incredibly user hostile -- albeit somehow the "best" DRM scheme out of many bad options in a space that often includes hardware dongles like iLok. It's incredibly frustrating to e.g. pay >$1m for a piece of kit and get a DRM encumbered UI for it, deliberately designed to make life awkward.

Of course, the obvious issue with the public key approach listed as being "best" in the article is that all it takes for an attacker to overcome the scheme is to replace your private keys with theirs -- or to patch a JMP for every do_license_check() call in the binary. It's fundamentally an approach that is always hackable.
It's astounding the correlation between "has blue checkmark", ".eth" in display name, and "supports trump in bio".

True in an absolute sense, but making the cracking sufficiently difficult, painful, or risky will at least deter a lot of the people who have the means to pay.

It’s not perfect but it does make a significant difference.
To make a bad place to work you need two things:

1. Lot's of processes, measurements and so on that are:

2. Based on flawed thinking.

That is it! It is a common recipe. Make an OKR about something that doesn't make a good OKR, and you have 3 months of guaranteed misery as people figure out how they get what needs to be done, while keeping the number happy. Another example is implementing some process like "Agile" and then finding the stream of work you want to complete has to be paused for 4 days because "sprints", so you context switch to something else because "shift left".
I see. Micro dosing is showing its signs.
But the claim wasn't "some jobs have been eliminated", it was ”the entire field across all specialities (including legal and medical) just doesn't exist anymore as of ~this year (2023).”

Show HN: I made PromptWatch – LangChain tracing on steroids
As I was building my first few chains, I noticed how difficult it was to understand what was going on, why GPT was responding the way it was, and how I could improve it. Tinkering with my prompts was so tedious - I had to either update the prompt template and rerun the whole chain, or grab the actual prompt, take it to OpenAI playground, tweak it there, and then make a template out of it again. That's why I decided to build something better!

PromptWatch allows you to tune your prompt templates in the browser in a format appropriate for LangChain, decoupling template from parameters data.

It also allows you to track your sessions and costs per your project and tenant, track template versions and more.

Best of all, it's completely free! I would be thrilled to hear any feedback you have. Thanks so much for checking it out!
You can get amazing results without doing any of that, and I can promise you that most of the people posting AI art on DeviantArt etc. aren't "professionals".

> For billions of people around the world, employees are expected to suck it up and work late nights

Then call for your government to introduce better labor laws. You can't just blame all this on "the bosses" as a big homogenous groups. Here in the Netherlands, bosses in fact cannot expect employees to "just suck it up and work late nights": employees have to agree and get compensated. And if they don't agree, they cannot be fired for disagreeing.

Sadly, there’s a far more straightforward way. The phisher says “Sorry, your token has expired! You will need to get a new one…” Plenty of people will fall for it.

Also, I wouldn’t personally describe an out-of-band token delivery / exchange mechanism like that as “actually trivial” for apps to do.
in most of the world, the credit card companies told vendors that they'd have to be liable for any fraud committed through payment terminals that hadn't been upgraded to chip and pin. so every vendor upgraded their terminals.

in the US, credit card companies continued to accept liability for magstripe transactions up until a couple years ago. i think it was an attempt to hold onto their absurdly high market share in the US - most other countries have higher debit card usage.
It is exactly the opposite. The “verification” verifies nothing other than having a credit card and 8 USD to spend. There already have been “verified” accounts with blue checkmarks impersonating the NY government, governor and other people. [1] All this will do is push these impersonating accounts higher in the feed than the actual legit accounts.

It’s an easy and cheap way for fake accounts to gain access to a larger audience.

That's what they say every time - "it's just to catch the REALLY bad guys, pinky promise". Then five years later we find out that it's routinely used for other things. And ten years later, when the law needs to be renewed or whatever, the same politicians who originally argued that it was a very narrowly tailored measure claim that it became such an important tool in law enforcement arsenal that sky would literally fall if we don't allow them to keep it.

When I read this, I ask myself, why don't people usually work as hard for themselves as they do for these exploitative systems? Large companies may be like giant insects sucking out your life energy.

Amazon built the warehouse. Amazon hired the people and ordered them to work in that warehouse. Amazon failed to warn employees of dangerous weather or provide safe shelter before a tornado slammed the Edwardsville facility on 10 December. McEwen and five others were killed in the disaster.

If a mining company doesn't warn their miners of an earthquake, and it kills their workers, it's absolutely the mining company's fault. So how can this be anyone else's fault, but Amazon's?

> So to clear this up: Are we actually talking about a case of manslaughter happening at Amazon, or is this a weird way of pointing out their abysmal workplace safety?

Is there really a difference? The definition of manslaughter depends on the juridistiction, but I think this is clearly a case gross negligence manslaughter, by Amazon.
If you have to go through the effort of fixing it once you will likely write code that won't produce that error and you will warn others because of the pain you felt.
The point is that as far as the merchant's reader is concerned, there's no difference. It uses NFC to read a card. If it's required to get a PIN because of floor limits etc, it will still ask for a PIN.

Chip+PIN is the basis of contactless+PIN, same EMV standard, same stuff happens under the covers. Different business rules for merchant risk, chargeback etc

> You are not the only and most important contributor.

Hardest disagree possible. I don't know where you work or what your role is but many teams have the people in technical roles practically writing the emails back to the clients. There's a huge swamp of talking heads to be drained after the layoffs and other "organizational change" that's occurred over the last few years.

Ideas will always be, and necessarily by definition, less valuable than implementation details. Any attempt at refuting that is insanely delusional. The chickens have come home to roost at so many workplaces.

There was a first wave of contactless in the US, which then died very quickly because major retailers sued Visa/MC about preferential terms for contactless cards, and won.

The new wave seems mostly driven by Stripe and Square being adopted by small businesses everywhere and supporting it out of the box, forcing the major retailers to finally catch up.
Just a note: i.MX8MQ has only two display interfaces - one (less power hungry) is only capable to drive MIPI-DSI, and another bigger one that can drive either MIPI-DSI or HDMI/DP. If a i.MX8MQ system wants to support both eDP and external HDMI at the same time, it simply has to use MIPI-DSI with a converter on one of its outputs, there's no way around it.

Long-time Japan resident here. I haven’t travelled outside Japan for quite a while so I don’t have a good sense of how payments work in daily life elsewhere. Here, the big convenience store chains now accept a couple of dozen different types of contactless, swipe, or QR code payments [1, 2, 3 (in Japanese)]. However, cash is also widely used, and many smaller businesses still accept only cash [4, 5 (ditto)].

That makes healthcare cheap, though. We have the same in France, doctors have quite a low pay (of course in the top of the locals, but not as much as even a startup, and startups don’t advance humanity), nurses have a really low pay, some can’t afford living nearby. But on the upside, I barely pay 26€ to see a doctor.

It’s the heart of convincing people to work hard for very little. If I were the most gruesome capitalist ever, I’d be a socialist. The TikTok dances are nice, though.

The funny thing is, I've literally heard my friends muttering to each other in the car that their airdrop isn't working. Unfortunately most people aren't quite so understanding if an open source equivalent ever breaks for any reason, even if it's just as reliable on average.
That's a good point, however I've only seen few people jump jobs like that. HR or some such probably has a better view how widespread it is.
Well at least we would probably have sideloading in iOS soon, which would make the discussion about mobile app market monopoly irrelevant.
