True but he was martyred by the state. This is the core of Christian faith. God was put to death by an unjust government. It was Christ’s threat to state power that earned the execution. And tax collectors, even the disciple Matthew, were widely considered sinners during his day. The orientation people have to government power is much different before and after Christ. Political liberalism, individual freedom and many other things we take for granted are the direct result Christianity. But yes, “render unto Caesar what’s Caesar’s”

A software engineer's brief take on being a barista
I thought my thoughts on being a barista would be interesting to people on HN.

A little about me, I'm a laid off software engineer (early Jan), who decided to explore being a barista for a few months.

Anyways, hope you all enjoy!

I think a lot of them use tools like Ahrefs and Semrush to scan the "authority" of a website. The bigger the number (these tools go to 100) the higher the likelihood that you'll get pestered with these emails. For one of my domains, the one I was talking about, my rating is 70 and I have very good incoming links from various reputable sites.

I'm an "easy" target in that regard.
There are languages like Finnish and Hungarian in which gender is almost entirely absent, and there are languages like French in which a binary masculine-feminine distinction permeates everything. Gender in Esperanto is similar to gender in English, but slightly more problematic:

1. There are different pronouns ("li" and "ŝi") for male and female persons, just like in English. There is a also a non-traditional gender-neutral pronoun ("ri") that a large proportion of Esperanto speakers have probably heard of by now but is not yet used very much.

2. There are about 20 word pairs where the female form is derived from the male form with the suffix -in, for example, "patro" father, "patrino" mother, so the sexes are treated asymmetrically. There are multiple proposals to fix this but, as you can imagine, it takes a while to reach a consensus on which proposal to adopt, if any.

Both of the above make it difficult to talk about someone in traditional Esperanto without knowing or revealing their sex, and also make it difficult to talk about non-binary people. But in principle the problem is not hard to fix and so it probably will get fixed once enough people feel strongly enough about it.
Yeah, that's what Microsoft (Windows era), Xerox, Kodak, IBM (PC era) and so on also thought back then about their own "monopoly" and brand ;)
JPM is not simply a company that leases CRE space.
That describes a lot of hedge funds, which is why they haven't cared about RTO to the extend the big banks have.

JPM is a huge lender in the space.

If CRE falls, JPM has a tougher time than the average big bank.
They are also building a huge tower on Park Ave that was started pre-COVID and still not done.

Many sport create bad eating habits. Wrestling is the worst where kids are taught to cut a lot of weight in a short time (by dehydration), but even in other sports the coach will often give out diet advice that is at best good for the year but not good for long term health. (and at worst it isn't even good advice for the current year - coaches are not nutritionists)
I think that's you telling on yourself when you consider the medically appropriate terminology to be politically charged. Or that failure to represent your personal bias is due to their lack of objectivity.
Very good point NUMA != SMP. I Didn't catch that difference before.
I take a medium-sized backpack with me when I go into town. I usually take a laptop and/or tablet, a bottle of water, and a few personal items, so there’s still space in it. Most things I’m likely to buy while I’m out—a magazine, a bento, etc.—fit into the bag with no problem. If I buy something bigger that’s not too heavy to carry, I’ll get it with a shopping bag with handles. Most people in Tokyo, I think, do something similar.

If I buy something that’s too big or heavy to carry, I’ll have it delivered to my house a day or two later. All of the department stores, major electronic stores, etc. will deliver for their customers.

If I need to leave something someplace and pick it up later, most train stations have coin lockers. Some of the larger stations, as well as department stores, have temporary storage services for luggage and the like. (I have had problems sometimes finding a locker or storage service when I needed one, though.)

It’s not unusual to see people with wheeled suitcases on the streets and trains. Some of them are travelers, of course, but many of them are local people who have stuff that’s too heavy to carry.

These methods don’t work for everyone, of course. People who have to carry around large things—repair people, musicians with large instruments, etc.—drive cars, as do people who live far from train stations and shopping areas.

People without cars typically go shopping frequently and in small quantities. There are more than a dozen grocery and convenience stores within a ten-minute walk of my house, so shopping is not a problem for me. Most products are sold in small containers that are easy to carry. There are well-stocked convenience stores practically anywhere you go in Tokyo, so it’s easy to buy things when you need them.

So I suppose the answer to your question is that because millions of people live their lives in the city without cars an infrastructure—lockers, delivery services, convenience stores, etc.—has arisen to support them.
The state is not the only means by which a society conducts charity. It needs to encourage charitable giving through various avenues.
It worked out great in 1917 when the Bolsheviks went after the rich, then the religious, then the successful farmers who had been serfs a scant 50 years before. Eventually no one competent is left to counter balance or stand against the authoritarian government and your society is looted and gutted by high ideals co-opted by the most violent and psychopathic thugs around.

I enjoy the competition that Apple brings to the computing market with M* chips. As an innocent bystander in the world of AI, neural networks etc, I wonder if Apple Silicon and its neural cores would become the proprietary brake like CUDA is for ML work. That is if they do something phenomenal with the 3nm facility and bring about some hardware that only they can do..

I'd rather have a healthy competetive ecosystem where people writing software need not say stuff like "needs CUDA to work or needs Apple Neural cores to work" and instead says something like "need XYZ acceleration provided by CUDA cores, Apple Silicon, and AMD blah.."
Maybe the publishing company can train an AI on GRR Martin's work and we'll get the final books from an AI ghostwrite, labeled or not
> Instead, they each independently fabricated responses for 1.5 million consumers. The third, marketing company Ifficient Inc., supplied more than 840,000 fake responses.

Fine is $615,000.

Edit - I realized that it's individuals in the first sentence, number of responses in the second. I will let this comment stay as is.

So about $ 0.16 for faking identity of an American and use it for lobbying purposes.

On average I have a flat tire probably once every 3 years and if the difference is being able to change a tire with 30 mins of effort and be back to wherever I am going plus slightly decreased MPG vs waiting a couple of hours for a tow truck, being towed to a tire place, waiting a couple of hours for a new tire plus somewhat better MPG. I’d go with the Camry too.
Apple pays a premium for the privilege of using their face to test the new node for brick walls.

> There is literally no larger change you could pick, than changing the legal roles of church and state.

Sounds like yesterday was too late then. The little good that comes from church is even these days overshadowed by how much they fuck with politics literally everywhere around the globe (= distorting elections in their favor, which means less progress/reversals and less human rights at minimum, and usually they go much further). Also their moral compass is constantly fucked up, they still are covering homosexual pedophilia on truly gigantic scale, as they were so desperately doing last 100 years.

Also, does church helps all people equally including other religions, unlike lets say "mother" Teresa who, apart from stealing millions $$ in donations was by many accounts very selective to whom to provide care, based on their religion and generally favored sick to suffer as much as possible, for some properly fucked up "christian" reasons. Some saint she was...

Lets face it, religions almost unanonymously lost god/God and the original simple ideas. I look at history, since talk is very cheap but 2000 years of walking the talk has actually some weight, I mean all the weight you ever need to make an opinion. In Christianity's case its properly trivial - you have literal 10 rules and thats it, the rest are fantasies of semi-lucid humans from bronze age or right after, that would often end up in insane asylums these days. How much mental gymnastics believers have to do daily to stick with all that bureaucratic/managerial/political/financial stuff and feel righteous and above everybody else is astounding. Also tiny fact - only 1/3rd of the world is christian. So maybe 110 billions of human souls burning in hell?

I think the smarter faithful ones realize these, so they do the usual - wrap it in "its not literal" mantra while church does exactly the opposite. And then cherry-picking some rules they like and ignoring the rest (like stoning to death non-virgin women during marriage or all gays which should include all pedophile priests, I know its old testament but since its not rejected part of christianity, its still valid). But now you created completely different sect my friends, just like Jesus(TM) created completely different sect of judaism (which is a sect of X and that's the sect of Y till we get probably to zoroastroanism or something similar, who knows what beduin tribes believed in during those times).

I simply can't, with straight face, being raised without faith (thus no childhood indoctrination thats extremely hard to shed), accept modern religions any more than I can accept say greek or roman mythology. Same type of moral stories, god(s) on par with original abrahamic god (vengeful, cruel, not caring), and lets be honest - if there is any God, it certainly doesn't completely change its personality just because somebody writes another book about it every millenium or so and claims to be his son/prophet/something. There is a million small and big facts against all this, and 1/3 books written by people millenia ago for it. Very easy to pick the side.

Not really. The click rate is iirc usually around 5%; I'm not convinced this is much higher than the "noise floor" generated by a human equivalent of drunk racoons. So in practice Google is being paid for displays.

We already police men way more than women, what's your point?

>The data on the outsized violence of men is much more consistent, and dramatic, than the violence of any "ancestral genetic group".

Mormons are like freemasons. They are both widely known organizations that have their secrets. The more devout you are to the organization, the more you get to know and participate in.

The funny thing about this whistleblower is that he has a twin brother named Lars. They both filed this letter about 3 years ago. The fact that it was picked up by mainstream news is actually quite surprising given I lived in Utah majority of my life and none of this stuff made headlines.

(The article itself is likely to be wrong and misinterpreting the facts, or is unnessarily hyperbole, so take it as a grain of salt. However the direction of the legislation in the EU is clear.)

It's essentially the EU eldery social democratic population voting "We do not want any innovation here." "No change is the best change." "Any change might be disruptive for our current inefficient employment markets and our voters do not want that."

The EU is already lost in the AI, or any software development race. There is no upside for the EU for any breakthroughs in the AI.

The protectionism might of course might fire back, the productivity increases somewhere else and the EU slides back on international scale of the places to do business. Losing business means less revenue and more death spiral.

On the bright side, at least this time the justification does not seem to blocking pedophiles.

In hindsight, considering the modern rise of the AfD in German politics, and various other oddities now and that will arise in the future, perhaps a gradual wind down transition would have been better.

The lack of a Deng Xiaoping equivalent figure in Germany meant that the old hardline party core, and the favourable to Russia fraction of the population, were never mollified. It was a sharp and abrupt transition for them.
> What can I do to minimize my risk of having lower chances on the job market due to this adventure?

a. Don’t quit your day-job until the side-project makes atleast two times your current comp.

b. Work on it for a year; realize you’re way in over your head and pretend it never happened. Line on CV: “took a sabbatical for one year.”

> What data do recruiters and employers look at to determine if the failed startup listed on a CV is a plus or a minus?

Most recruiters will not understand. Data? The data is that you were essentially unemployed for a long period of time; and instead of breaking out of the mold, you came back to the fold — and so you will be judged accordingly.

Employers? Most will think you’re at best a flight risk and at worst too independent-minded to be an employee.

Some will view it as a unique plus if you can show: a. A product; b. Paying customers; but these are definitely the minority and you cannot plan for finding these people. If you do decide to drop out of the corporate grind, your best way back in would be your network. If you don’t have one, you may end up working for boiler rooms at much lower pay.
Has anyone ever actually seen this happen? I feel like this is some boogeyman worry floating around the internet.

I grew up in the south and have been in different churches for most of my life. Outside of supporting soldiers and an occasional American flag in church I’ve only seen a preacher get political once in my entire life. Even that was roundabout too.
What about WebGPU? The only thing that I find unsatisfactory about it is that float64 (double) is not a standard type in WebGPU and it's not supported on Apple GPUs anyway.
I think it’s tempting to set some threshold like “it must be self reflective”, but that raises a different question: why is this important vs. some other threshold?

e.g. does it matter if self reflection is possible if it is possible for the organism to experience pain?

I think the answer lies in what we’re trying to understand and why we’re trying to understand it. If the threshold is applied for the purpose of understanding when an organism or machine has reached some level of human-ness, purely for the purpose of some kind of benchmark, self reflection is an interesting bar to reach.

But usually these questions are aimed at finding some moral direction about how we should treat these entities.

We have strong intuitions that abusing animals is morally wrong even if animals cannot self reflect. When thinking about a future AI, I think we have to consider the possibility that self reflection is not a necessary bar to reach before we have some uncomfortable moral questions to answer.

Put another way, I suspect there will be many milestones that are meaningful and interesting, each introducing a new set of questions and implications. And I think some of the early milestones carry implications that are worth caring about long before self awareness is reached.
Not in the way churches are.
Isn't USA in the process of basically relocating TSMC to Arizona for that reason? And it's not for iPhones. It's because USA military can't risk having the chip supply cut off in wartime.
> There are very few pure software roles that don't require high-bandwidth, interactive, in-person communications.

I would counter that new tools will surface, and they will be remote oriented, making it even easier for people to work from home. At some point, only the "old guard" would want to go back to the office, and will eventually diminish dramatically, like paper did after computers took over.

> Simply from a political view, those who are in the office more, by definition, are winning.

While this may be true, what about upper management who are fully remote?
Which is my point exactly. They’re using market power to basically stymie competition. This is textbook anticompetitive behavior.

I grew up Mormon. No Mormon I’ve talked to has any problem with the church holding onto this money. They’ll say “well of course, it’s for when the temple is built in Independence, Missouri and we’re all called to live in the Promised Land under the Law of Consecration.”

I fell on tough times a few years back and my local Bishop insisted I take some aid, they gave me food for a few months from “The Bishop’s Storehouse”, basically a food bank for members. This is despite me being an inactive Mormon for twenty years or so. They care a lot about their members, even the ones who aren’t going to church.

Mormons are very clear about how they think things are going. What’s funny is the concern people outside the church have with all this.
For those outside the USA they may be surprised just how many churches in the USA are effectively independent franchises with no real central authority. People think of “Catholic Church” as the large multinational agency, but when you hear people talking about churches in the USA it’s often small Protestant churches.

(Some Protestant churches do have national structures, true, but you’re not often hearing about Lutherans doing things)
I have gone to gyms since the early 90s.

30 years ago, so many guys had a bench and cheap weights in their basement that they barely used. Now that group just has a gym membership they barely use. Women had home VHS aerobic workouts they barely did instead of a gym membership they barely use. It has really just reflected the change in gym membership prices. My first gym was $75 a month adjusted for inflation and it was nothing special. The nice Golds Gym that was the alternative was $100 a month adjusted for inflation. It is just easier now to pay $15 a month and not use the gym.

I can't imagine we have a more fit population now. Maybe there is 10% more very fit people in the tail but the median is most likely much less fit.

What I notice most is going for an hour walk at sunset on a beautiful spring night in a nice suburban neighborhood, there is absolutely no one outside. Everyone is inside sitting. When I see a kid they are usually riding a motorized scooter to zoom between places to sit.

You also have to factor in that old people now grew up with so much more physical activity than young people now. I can't imagine the knock on effects of what all this sitting by young people will have once they are old.
I'm still trying to find a good work flow.

But I like to ask Bing questions, if i have a simple thought of 'what does this mean' or 'how does this work' to get a high level overview of something that is not vital that I know everything, it's just something I heard and realised I had no idea about what it was/how it worked.

And i've started using heypi.com as a personal coach, just talking through anything I am feeling/struggling with and i'm really liking that at the moment. I've felt for the longest time I could do with someone to bounce ideas around or talk to about life and struggled to find someone that understood my nonsense and overthinking, AI seems to be a good job with it and i don't have to worry about being insecure with what I am talking about as it's just an AI.
