A restaurant can get away with giving everyone crappy part time work IF the restaurant knows that on demand it can request people to work more hours/extra days. It sounds like an efficient way to run in a grad school sense. But what happens when people start saying no or get sick? The restaurant is closed at odd times, people are inconvenienced and just start going somewhere else, has opportunity costs because it has to pass on that last minute phone in order from an office catering lunch because it's minimally staffed (to be market efficient). Cutting to absolute minimum viable is a horrific concept if you are building a business. You lose your best people, you have a ton of opportunity costs, and you basically give up on growth, productivity goes down as your remaining people have to do way more context switching.

If you are running a zombie company and just squeezing the last bits out it might be considered running a business I guess?
I’ve found profanity can add impact when I’m a regular reader of someone who normally doesn’t use profanity and I’m familiar with their normal lack of profanity.
Seems like it could be fairly simple to define whether a UGC site can be considered "not social media".

* No recommended content. Chronological feed with basic search functionality is okay. Auto-generated "popular posts" section is social media.

* No targeted ads. Static banners which everybody sees are okay. Decision-making about which ads to show based on user data is social media.

I think those two simple rules would keep a "not social media" company's incentives aligned against invective and towards relevant discussion, even if they were in the business of facilitating discussion amongst like-minded people. And it's not like social media would be banned: just more tightly regulated.
If that were enough to be a monopolistic practice then Walmart would have been shutdown decades ago. That's just how business is done in the US.
This already happened with C8 -> C6 which bioaccumulates in water rather than in the physical form. Fundamentally, making something immune to water requires also making it immune to the normal way that things break down in the environment. So the performance qualities are really the thing we may need to phase out, but there are applications (e.g. in surgery instruments) that are more or less essential.
Then you must be against child labor laws, and laws that prohibit people selling themselves into slavery because they have few choices in the world.

Power imbalances mean that some people will use contracts to exploit others. Protecting people from that is valuable.

Certainly a Mercedes purchaser is not quite in the same league there, but it's not like we haven't heard of similar subscription ploys on lower-end cars too.
> That they still have these problems years after quitting caffeine is actually evidence that those problems were never caused by caffeine, but they instead see it as evidence that caffeine can cause long-lasting “caffeine injury.”

To be fair, it's evidence of both of those things.
Geocoding APIs can convert addresses to geographic coordinates, but which one should you use? Learn how to evaluate and choose the best geocoder for your project using quality metrics like match rate, accuracy, and similarity.
Typescript transpiles to JS with a bunch of runtime checks woven in resulting in much slower code than equivalent barebones JS. There are benchmarks that show this.
> We’ll implement numerical differentiation, though in principle we could also implement symbolic differentiation

I'd like to argue, that when it comes to computers and differentiation, automatic differentiation is the most useful, most important in practice. But often only symbolic and numerical differentiation are mentioned.
I've replaced almost all my usage of Google Search with ChatGPT. The only reason's I've had to use Google search is to look up current news, and do some fact checking. In my experience, GPT-4 rarely provides incorrect results. This includes things like asking for recipes, food recommendations, clarifying what food is safe to eat when pregnant, how to drain my dog tricks, translating documents, explaining terminology from finance, understanding different kinds of whiskey, etc.
Pichai needs to go, Google is in dire need of someone that can shake things up.
It's not that it's the best way to do it; it's just a very straightforward articulation of their design philosophy that helps a first-time visitor know what to expect and what they might like (or not) about it.
Yes this must be fixed. Python packaging is such a nightmare I use a fresh docker image for every project, which is much easier than messing with pyenvs, conda, broken wheels and that whole mess.
>Creating a passkey on your Google Account makes it an option for sign-in. Existing methods, including your password, will still work in case you need them, for example when using devices that don't support passkeys yet. Passkeys are still new and it will take some time before they work everywhere. However, creating a passkey today still comes with security benefits as it allows us to pay closer attention to the sign-ins that fall back to passwords. Over time, we'll increasingly scrutinize these as passkeys gain broader support and familiarity.

So my password that I stupidly shared among my accounts and was then leaked, can still be used to compromise my Google Account.

Wake me when I can create a Google Account without a password, email, or phone number, period.
Inkwell – New Kind of Wrapper for Exposing LLVM in Rust
Larry and Sergey hired Sundar to do a job (make money for shareholders aka Larry and Sergey). If Sundar doesn’t want to do that job anymore they’ll find someone else to do it better.

If I’m ignoring morality and just pretending I own the company and want to be richer, my opinion would be: if I think there is someone out there who will do a better job than my CEO and they are available, hire them no matter how much it costs. Whatever I’m paying them is peanuts compared to their impact on the company’s market cap. Nowhere in my option space is “keep the same sub-par CEO but pay them less”, that’s penny-wise and pound-foolish thinking.
It's still extreme. I have no doubt that he works extremely hard but what are shareholders getting for a 226M$ compensation instead of a 100M$ one?
Larry and Sergey have 51% voting power. They are the ones deciding how much Sundar is paid. Put it the other way: if they don’t want to pay him that much: they have the power to do so.

As the ultimate owners of the company by shareholder votes, they approved the compensation of Sundar, and are the decision makers.
Generate the following picture in mid journey:
"A school of dolphins spanking a mermaid with their flukes."

A 1000 V-rolls won't get you there. For something like this control net combined with inpainting is indispensable. Not to mention the excessively heavy handed censorship in MJ.

Midjourney excels in overall quality, but it completely falls down if you have an actual complex vision.
The question isn't about motivation and you're comparing $5-20M to $0.2M when the argument is $200M is too much

The balanced answer then is to pay a CEO {something closer to $20M} and he will be motivated by {something closer to $20M} (plus their expectations of future comp).

Whether that's $20M or $40M or $60M or more is up for debate. Googlers are saying: "It's not $226M"
Sadly I'm not sure labour would fair much better, I'm almost certain they wouldn't bother repealing this.

They're manifesto pledge pretty much seems to be "we're not the tories" and most depressingly of all, I can say that for me that seems to be just about good enough. Not good mind you, not good at all, not its enough (considering that the competition to the big 2 are either even more loathsome or have no chance in hell)
I've had excellent service from several Mercedes after buying them at 4-7 years because people believe they turn into money pits. Dealer service is expensive; the solution is to use an indy mechanic or DIY. (They're quite DIY friendly for consumables.)

I'm glad other people are willing to buy or lease them from new so there are cheap ones available secondhand.
Four options are available:

1. You have no experiences.

2. You have experiences without awareness of what they represent.

3. You are aware of things without being aware of self-as-thing.

4. You are aware of self-as-thing in the midst of other things.

We have no reason to assume cells aren't aware, a sense bolstered by observational studies of how they respond to chemical gradients, etc., but it is quite a leap to get from "recognizing food" to "recognizing the control I have over my environment and effecting changes beneficial to some internally generated goal".
There is no need to be salty about facts [1], and it’s unlikely you personally (mentioned because of the strength used in your top comment's language) are going to do anything when +1 billion people (at least) are going to suffer from climate change [2] [3] [4]. The people who said “I told you so” (including antinatalists) will sound callous, but they’ll have been right. Regardless, the system will reach equilibrium.

I don’t think this logic can be applied uniformly across areas of progress, nor should it be assumed to remain true over time (if it ever was).

No doubt some developments were well worth their initial risk, but other developments have been demonstrably the opposite.

As the environment gets more critically out of whack, the weight of that risk increases as does the risk itself.

And as time goes on, the increasing complexity of the developments we call “progress” means we’re less and less likely to understand their impact.

Hopefully this will be counteracted by better and better models of the world.
I think generally solutions should be applied in proportion to

1. The relative harm of the type of PFA to human and animal health
2. The longevity of that PFA in the environment
3. The removal/price ratio for any technique getting rid of that PFA
4. How likely that PFA in the environment will infiltrate water supplies, food supplies, the biosphere
Agree on the Blurred Lines. I mean you read a description of the case and it's hard to believe they won.

Now listen to both songs and ... well, I'm copyright minimalist but it's a little bit easier to see what they were getting at. Still as you say hogwash.
I found this was the cost per call to a web function. I used deploy to deploy it. The function just does what the main did in the example repo (earlier in this theead)
There's a lot of room between 200k and 200M, and given that the company is laying people off and cutting costs, the CEO should share in that sacrifice.
Honestly though, it does sound like the Marvin Gaye song, a lot.

Not that I think this lawsuit is legit or anything... But...

Sheerhan claimed he's only vaguely familiar with it. Is he fucking serious?

He's a musician, and only vaguely familiar with Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on." Does he only write his own music, and not listen to anything ever? I'm the least educated person in music, and even I know the song well enough to know that this song sounds a lot like it.
What is the actual point of giving anyone $226m in pay?
How would that motivate them to deliver any more..?

> All security is a trade off. For a good chunk of people that is a rare enough occurrence that it is a good trade off for them.

Except most people are operating under a flawed assumption that the trade-off with Google is like a trade-off with any other institution - that is, if the worst happens, you can get a human on the phone, or visit a branch office, and get the issue sorted out. This critical fallback is, unfortunately, missing for Google and many other on-line service providers.
No, but they did a Walkman, which broke ground. https://designmuseum.org/discover-design/all-design-objects/....

The version I had in like 1989 was metal, the size of a cassette, played 3 hours of music loudly on a single battery and had a nice set of in-ear headphones. $300 as I remember which was a lot but worth it. Sony lost the thread at some point after that, but for a while they were riding high on music and TV's.

I disagree, the information it communicates is visceral in nature rather than 'rational', but it provides a much broader cross-section of a person to relate to (or feel alienated from).
It is more than the profit (as listed by Fortune) of about 260 companies in the Fortune 1000: https://fortune.com/ranking/fortune500/2022/search/ . In other words, Fortune lists about 260 companies in the Fortune 1000 as having a profit of less than 225 million in 2022.
How can CNN and this Peter Valdes-Dapena publish something like this where the only criticism is a short line buried at the end calling subscribe-a-speed "a bit of a cheat"? That's not journalism, it's a fluff piece.

Well that's the most worthless AI bot I've seen yet (from a guy who rebranded spam as "ethical online direct marketing").
PTFE, the end product, is safe for general use. PFOA/PFOS were used in its manufacture, but does not need to be present in the final product or dumped unprocessed into the wastewater or landfill. It's only in our environment due to cost-savings reasons.

No one wants toxic chemicals dumped on anyone.

But there's an obvious selfish interest if making industry clean is hard, to at least have it far away from me.
Sure, if you want to lease a car, lease a car. But the idea that I can buy a car but have to pay a subscription for heated seats is ridiculous. Not everything in our lives needs to be a subscription.
Ah, yes, sorry, I misunderstood your comment. My bad.
Isn't taking the blame part of why CEOs get paid millions of dollars? 226 of them in this case. Pichai signed up for it and is objectively a winner too.
A great explanation that takes in exactly what I was wondering about when doing the image comparisons.
"Asynchronous" not the right word since "synchronous" in hardware typically refers to clock signals.

The parallelism in hardware is indeed extreme. Like if every line in your program ran at once, and then repeating every clock cycle.
You'd describe the UK government as "far right"? A cursory look at the policies is absolutely NOT "far right"

The whole comment here reeks of hyperbole and university student angst and anger.

Not saying there aren't fundamental problems but this is extreme.
This could be any anonymous screed written by an eighteen year old in any era, and today it reads as if it were written by AI.

It's a collection political confetti.

Civilizations are cyclical. The pretend-status of the commoners is cyclical. Sometimes they are too-free, and sometimes they are overtly enslaved. Generally speaking, and while nothing is black and white, these are the two extremes.

The idea is to find the Springtimes in this eternal cycle and to hold the cycle there for as long as possible, lest one of the extremes yet again comes back around sooner than later.

Holding Springtime requires compromise, grit, a respect for the social compact, clear eyes in regard to society's class hierarchies, individual morality, and moral reason in regard to government and social norms.

As those who benefit from the extremes will use any one of those compromised avenues. They have unlimited funds to both open the road and to travel.

The trick is that those who are most oppressed during any single extreme are the ones manipulated into advancing it.

If you think that this era is moving toward a Springtime and not away from it, then you're missing the clear and eternal signals and are going to be in for a shock.
Surely that depends on the age? I don't think a minimum age of 65 to vote in elections is any better than a racial requirement.

Most of us are just browsing for interesting light reading anyway, so blocking us if they can’t serve a Hackernews worth of users seems basically… like an appropriate amount of robustness, for light reading.

Maybe the FediVerse is just not friendly to the idea of a “global top among thousands of users” rating.
You can read the text of the consent decree here [1]. Looks like it just generally required them to have a 'privacy program' and to monitor and test their vendors.

Have you looked into ADHD and cannabis? The TLDR from my reading is that it actually improves your focus and lessens symptoms BUT those improvements also come with the downside of getting stoned.
I disagree about being overpaid.

Similar to other professions - engineering and medicine for example - we have a career which requires a dedication to constant learning.

We build systems which allow companies to generate billions in revenue and deserve a slice of the pie.
It’s kind of a slippery slope argument, but benefits in agriculture or other very helpful technology is a lot different compared to applications like making your floss easier to glide between teeth or your coat repel water.
The fact that there’s no TLDR of his skill set is his skill set.
> Governments are afraid of the internet.

And they don't understand it. And thats pretty insane, imagine electing a new leader who says "why don't we just print more money?". We all understand its important to elect a leader who understands economics, because they're going to be regulating it, but for some reason tech illiteracy is given a free pass
> Well, the consent decree should then say: you need to do X testing, Y review.

The consent decree can just say you have to not do Z. You take whatever steps are necessary to avoid that. If you do it “accidentally” that’s a violation.

The point of a consent decree, from the point of viee of the regulatort agency, is generally to eliminate excuses for a party already seen as a violator as a condition to hold off on an existing enforcement action for the violation.

Creating opportunities for technical compliancd while the problem sought to be avoided still occurs is an explicit non-goal.

(From the non-government side, the point is to avoid greater penalties now by accepting some obligations and limitations going forward.)
Ah, yes, cape is wonderful. I use cape extensively and have used `cape-super-capf` to great effect in some situations. Love it.

People generally get paid the amount that it costs to find someone else to do their job¹

It is very easy to find someone else to be a "rater". Certainly easier than it is to find another software engineer

You can argue SWE wages are inflated but comparing them to someone testing whether YouTube search returns the right results is inaccurate and feels disingenuous

"Fairness" is a vague concept which nobody can agree on. It's definitely not as easily observable as, say, the marginal cost of replacing a worker

---------------

1. This also happens to be a helpful framework for establishing "value", beyond the context of labor. For instance: how much is a company worth? The amount it would cost to replace them if they were taken out of the picture
It's probably a superior editor but it's not a superior "IDE". I think at this point we might consider VSCode as such.
What happens if you ask, say, the French, who have been living next to their nuclear power plants for decades.
Our department is still in a world of ansible and VMs, so we can't yet take advantage of some of the work that's gone into making it easy to run in k8s. We're using Postgres for Temporal's persistence because we're already familiar with operating it (and it's pretty cool already you can have some choice in DB). We've hit a bug in the newest version of Temporal server that doesn't play nicely with pgbouncer in transaction pooling mode, but they've responded to our ticket and seem to have a solution. We're running on the previous version for now. Other than that, it's just been the up-front cost of building the ansible playbooks. We haven't pushed it to any kind of load limits yet, or built-out a real high availability deploy of it yet. Day to day operation at our utilization level has been no drama so far.
that's just mathematically incorrect as a generalization. it depends on the market, the price-to-rent ratio, interest rates, transaction fees, maintenance fees, taxes, and how long you're actually living in one place.

if your burn as a renter is substantially lower you could invest the difference in a non-real-estate asset and make a lot more return, in many cases.
> It is much easier to move your money out of a 0%-interest bank account and into a 5%-interest money-market account (or an online high-yield savings account, etc.) than it was 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago. You are more likely to see an online ad encouraging you to do that, and more likely to do it with a few clicks.

Very easy problem to solve. Just make it illegal for profit-seeking rich capitalists to do this.
“Pascal was slow” is a complaint about the compilers at the time, which is just reiterating my point. Anyway, if you wanted to draw something on the screen, just,

MoveTo(10, 12);

Except engineers bring value.

If engineers are to be paid less, then where should the profit go?
