My ability to work in an office efficiently or at home efficiently has zero bearing on whether my job can be replicated by an AI.

- If a job can be outsourced, it will be outsourced.
- If a job can be eliminated, it will be eliminated.
- If a job can be replaced by AI, it will be replaced by AI.

Work location does not factor on these decisions. It's just simply an evaluation of production efficiency.

The best way to perform something like this on Layer 2 is to use Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) based on IEEE 802.1Q-2018.

Most calendars you can break down to w.e. interval you want, I share a calendar with my family and we put our stuff up. Then for each bucket, I break it down individually as the day comes up. Takes like 10 min at night to put it all in, so maybe an hour a week of planning. That may seem like a lot, but worth the effort IMO.

As an example, every day my basic schedule: 6-8am with family, 8am-12pm [farm] work, 12pm-4pm [collaborative] work, 4-7pm chores & family, 7-9pm [emails / focus work] work, 9-10pm family, 10-12pm [focus] work.

Then the day before, I will break out individual events. There are times, for instance, I have to take a kid to the doctor so I'll block that out, put in all my meetings and adjust the 4-7pm family time to say 5-7pm (take an hr from work & family time).

It's all about being disciplined and trying to ensure you are organized and maximize time for me. Gotta keep focused

"earning $2,500 a month consulting for a law firm"

I think I would look twice at any law firm taking advice from someone like Martin Shkreli.

It's been a while since he was a regular presence in the news, but he wasn't just some stuffy white-collar criminal (which would've been bad enough, given what he did); the guy has a really vile, trollish side to him that you'd think would make him a liability to any legitimate business.

It’s my opinion that people feel like they are more productive at WFH, but it’s a bit of a hard metric to actually measure. I get the sense that the freedom and flexibility might create a feeling of personal productivity to accomplish many things (not just career related) they couldn’t before WFH, but as for job productivity…I bet it’s probably a wash overall.

I say this as a remote worker who wouldn’t want to RTO—because I feel like I am more productive at work from home. However, I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if there was a reliable way to measure it.
We listen to music with a lot of unconscious preconceived notions depending on our upbringing. Our brains enjoy grouping, repetition, structure. Also tension in the form of expectations and surprises. We can make music in free time without these patterns but to most of us it sounds less 'normal'. It's like if we make music with pitches in between the 12 notes of western tradition.

A lot of those preconceptions are to do with the stresses in a bar/measure. Things like when drums are hit or when melodies begin and progress. Misusing this leads to the same effect as stressing the wrong syllables in speech. Something like a waltz (which is 3/4) depends on stresses in a pattern of 3 beats, matching the dance. If you write a waltz as the same notes in 4/4 the patterns that should align on 3rd notes will not relate to the written form. Stresses are also why 3/4 and 6/8 are distinct - they are identical in values but the grouping of notes is not. They can also differ because the actual rhythm as played can differ from how it is written i.e. swing.

If you imagine the melody along with 'twinkle twinkle little star' and stop, it should feel unresolved because of the note it ends on. You need 'how I wonder what you are' to feel comfortable again. These two phrases should have a relation and similar grouping. It's harder to notice but within each of these phrases there's a pair of bars that have a similar relation.
The original version of my site aidev.codes was a bit like that. The concept was to keep refining the spec and each time it would regenerate starting with whatever section had been modified. There was even a way to clone an "app spec" like with Codepens.

People generally didn't seem very interested. Also the bigger problem was that the gpt-3.5 models really wouldn't return the same thing consistently so a minor change could throw other things off.

Also a conversation feels like a much more intuitive way of doing it. So I switched to that.

Instant Ink ("II") is a POS. If you get a subscription to II and then cancel it, you will no longer be able to use ink by a manufacturer other than HP. I don't care if I had to return the II when I canceled it; that's no big deal. But to make me use only HP ink? That's quite a bit of BS.
I did order HP ink because my printer stopped printing. (Luckily I have a Brother printer that's hooked up and printing (with 3rd party ink.))
Once the HP ink runs out, I'm going to try to refill the cartridges with other ink. Hopefully my FU to HP works.

Actually, Moon is rather immune to Kessler syndrone due to its bumpy gravity caused by sub-surface mass concentrations.

So Kessler syndrome could certainly develop for a whiley but would be cleaned up rather quickly as all the pulling & pushing of the "rough" gravity converts the orbital speed into heat, until all the fragments impact the surface.

Might be a bit more dangerous on the surface for a while though, with lot of stuff striking it at near orbital speed in an almost horizontal direction. That could ruin your evening stroll quite badly.
WBUR did an interesting show about hammerhead worms and other invasives. I'm glad there are people playing attention closely enough to notice such things.

"When Endless Thread producer Nora Saks learns that a "toxic, self-cloning worm that poops out of its mouth is invading Maine", she starts sounding the alarm about the impending eco-doom.

Until, that is, state experts clue her into the "real threat"; a different creepy crawly wriggling towards The Pine Tree State's gardens and precious forests, and fast.

In an attempt to find out more about this real threat, co-hosts Ben Brock Johnson and Nora Saks tunnel down a wormhole, encountering a long history of xenophobic rhetoric about so-called invasive species, and some hard truths about the field of invasion biology itself. Eventually, they wind up at a community garden in Bangor, Maine, where the worm wars are playing out in real time."

And another thing -- the "morally wrong" is remarkably selective. Musk is clearly saying that it's "morally wrong" for white collar workers to be remote while insisting that blue collar workers be fully present.

In a CNBC interview this week, speaking about service and manufacturing workers, Musk said “it's messed up to assume that, yes, they have to go to work, but you don't. It's not just a productivity thing, I think it's morally wrong,” suggesting “the laptop class is living in la-la land.”

What if the headline was "CEO phones in 20 hours/week from Hawaii while threatening to fire workers who clock < 60 hours/week"?
At a small workplace an account can be shared by multiple developers to assist with programming tasks like generating code, improving code, writing unit tests, reviewing code, etc. The paid account was more highly available than the free one and also grants access the to newer GPT4 model. We have found it to be quite helpful.
Honestly didn’t mean anything by it but I appreciate the heads up!
Why would it be reasonable to expect that employment rates remain steady in cases where demand for labor fluctuates downwards? A CEO isn’t failing by implementing a layoff any more than they’re failing when they increase headcount, they’re simply responding to market conditions. The real problem is viewing employment as some sort of charity businesses grant to employees, or even worse, an entitlement that people should receive even when a business no longer needs them. Employment is driven by ordinary supply and demand, and when demand goes down, so does employment. This isn’t a failure of leadership.
It also edges your car mileage from the circumstance where electric cars excel (daily medium distance trips ending at home every day to charge) towards less advantageous use (long multi-day trips).
As an investor, you want to put your money where the growth is. A high profit margin means people value the product highly and you don’t have competitors driving you into a commodity business.

If you made something for a dollar and sold it for 2, how? How did nobody see this chance? Why don’t you have an army of competitors driving that price to 1.05? This isn’t selling a single ice cream at a beach, it’s selling millions across every beach on the planet, where there are many existing vendors.

Tesla is supply constrained and can’t sell cars fast enough. Toyota is likely near their peak.

Investors don’t invest for who has “more money” (who cares? You get 1/n of that, it’s priced in) they invest for who can grow their money.
>how do you teach them what the right choices are if you don't actually see their choices?

You teach them principles, obviously. Or are you planning on weighing in on their choices for the rest of their lives?
Not quite.

In CA your potential employer can’t ask about criminal history before extending an offer. After the offer is extended that’s off the table: they absolutely can (and will!) run a background check, and any convictions are assessed against the offered job.

A SWE might get a job with a drug conviction they picked up a decade ago. They might have their offer pulled due to a recent conviction for embezzlement.
Interesting. Seems like a hassle to store efficiently.
We're using lithium-ion batteries (for now), so charging is like any electric car. As long as you have the power to fast charge it, you can do a full batter in ~45 mins.

That's max range (=180 miles) at 45 min charge. So let's say we're doing 90 mile missions between the islands of Hawaii, you only drain half the battery, so charge time is only ~20-25 mins - which is how long it takes passenger to unboard and board anyways!
That would be an awesome route! Especially considering the lake waves are probably never higher than the cited maximums.
I agree that a cloud service agreement is more complicated than a SAFE, and that's a result of the fact that the underlying deal is more complicated.

We use the SAFE as an example of a standard contract because it's one that our target users are familiar with. We believe that there are a lot of lessons worth learning from the SAFE's success, along with other standard contracts like the NVCA Model Docs, IAB Standard Terms, ISDA Master Agreement, etc.

Our users have signed thousands of contracts and closed millions of dollars of deals, so it's working for at least some commercial contracts. Of course, this is a tiny percentage of the overall market. Our bet is that it can become a much larger portion of the market, even if it doesn't get to 100%

I'm not sure I follow this. afaik this compilation puts it on Switch, since you previously needed an N64, plus Wii and/or GameCube to play the originals. I guess sm64 was available on Wii and 3ds too. Is the claim that they need to de-list those from Wii stores to get people to buy on switch? Was it available on other means for Switch before?

I think a new port requiring a new purchase seems fair, and there's a target market in that one for those who missed those prior generation of games, or who want it on the switch hardware.
Absolutely. Criminal history is a valid and lawful criteria of discrimination. The tolerance varies by industry. For example the finance industry will have 0 tolerance.
Hiring boards at major universities know leadership ability is valuable, it's just that there are very few people with the skills, the credible track record, the leadership/teaching ability, and willing to apply, that they have to settle for less. And it so happens that this is where it's easiest to justify settling.

A lot of folks talk about how hard it is to find a tenure track job but it's actually trivial for anyone in the 99th percentile of all 3 categories.

But for anyone with that combination of talents, they can easily make 7 figures in a comfortable job outside of academia so not many of them apply even at the Stanfords and Harvards of the world.

No. All of the major ferry routes they are proposing to serve already have a significant amount of vessel traffic. Seaglider operators will have to obey the rules of the road to avoid collisions just like any other boat.
You're absolutely right, nothing in my original comment was meant to contradict that. Add poor HN wording to my long list of personal flaws.
A good article but not much new information. From a law enforcement perspective, the cloud is the goldmine also regarding WhatsApp and the like. As for Google:

"Two of the most telling slides from Tuma’s Wednesday presentation related to what information PenLink recommends that police demand from Google — including Google Search histories, cellphone location histories, Google Maps search histories, and all Google Docs created by the target."

So Google probably gives a bulk copy of everything it has. Any marketing about anonymization is nonsense. As apparently are the frequent claims about "serious crimes":

"Perhaps the most jarring aspect of Tuma’s talk was the contrast between his frequent allusion to murder investigations versus the closing slide centering on wiretapping a small-time marijuana provider."

What I don't really understand is that US law enforcement apparently needs to rely on these vague third-party companies. It casts a shadow over their competency.

Another point is that things get more interesting in cross-border cases involving non-US companies. Good luck getting data from VKontake stored in a data center in Moscow.
Depends on the nature of the conviction and the employer. Theft, fraud, sex offenses, violent crimes, drugs will likely count against the candidate. Companies don't "feel" any specific way since companies don't "feel" or have the same policies. How much a record counts against a candidate will depend on company policies (both formal and informal), and the judgment of the interviewers.

I know someone with a felony fraud conviction who can't get a job at any financial company (the business domain he has most experience in). Instant disqualifier.

Not all employers run background checks, but they may ask about felony or even misdemeanor convictions and if you lie and they later find out they can fire for that reason.

A candidate with a record may get passed over with the employer giving some other reason, to protect themselves from lawsuits. In other words the candidate may get told "We hired a more qualified candidate" when they actually got rejected because of a criminal record.
Could you please eli5 how it works, a shared VPN?
It depends on the state. Some have "ban the box" laws that prohibit asking about convictions until a conditional job offer has been extended. Given that (unexpunged) convictions are public record though, it's pretty easy for them to find out if they bother to run a check and decide another candidate is a better fit.
If you're talking about labor laws, that is not true. They only specify that the employer cannot demand you to work 7 days a week, but you still can if you choose to (e.g. as a contractor).
Not necessarily true. E.g. in PostgreSQL, the planner is free to evaluate predicates prior to imposing RLS constraints, so long as the functions in the predicate are marked LEAKPROOF [1]. (They aren't by default.)

This is because UDFs can write to tables, and perform I/O in other ways depending on system configuration and security policy. Just because the UDFs are in WASM instead of one of the other UDF languages doesn't eliminate the need for a security system.

(Aside -- curiously in PostgreSQL, the privilege system isn't even strong enough to prevent something as innocuous as e.g. reading a view owned by another user from dropping your own tables.)

It's important when talking about violence and unions, we have to also consider the other side, where police and private security use violence against workers.

Numerous strikes were "broken" by law enforcement, various "national guards", and "strike breakers" shooting into crowds of strikers. On multiple occasions 50 or more were killed, and hundreds injured.
Have you considered having swappable batteries, so you can skip the recharging time entirely?
Google uses a fair number of external dependencies. But Google imposes a fairly heavy cost to add a new dependency. You (and usually your team) has to commit to supporting updating the dependency in the future (only one version of a dependency is allowed at any given repo snapshot), and fixing bugs. Often it is easier just to write code yourself for trivial dependencies (nobody is using left-pad!).

Adding a dependency also generates a change list (because dependencies are vendored), and so the normal code review guidelines apply. Both the person adding the dependency and the reviewer should read through the code to make sure that the code is in a good state to be submitted, like any other code (excluding style violations). Small bugs can be fixed with follow up CLs. If the author/reviewer doesn’t understand e.g. the security implications of adding the dependency, they should not submit the CL.
