We (Australians) have been hit with some serious stuff with our Filipino subsidiary. They've been asked to do something, they realized it was not the right thing to do a week in, still did what they've been asked for more than two months.

Later when we realized we asked the wrong thing, they said "oh yes of course we knew it was not the right thing". The convention that you don't argue with "the boss" cost us many man-months of work.

You can only successfully discuss technical matters if both parties are willing to do just that.
Nice! Did you encounter some repetition issues in your playthrough with 4 options?
I wouldn't say it's objectively stupid or inflammatory- rather it seems like a calculated risk.

A lot of things shifted in the last year and it's clear now that Ukraine is using a wide range of options available to it- walking out progressively more aggressive responses, basically to test the russians and make the russian soldiers and leadership less confident in their approach. I imagine that they carefully watch the world's response to their actions, and adjust as necessary.

Those responses include tacitly supporting guerillas. Will the upcoming counteroffensive lead to Ukrainian troops entering the traditionally borders of Russia (not just occupied lands)? It seems unlikely. Will we continue to see guerilla action on the borders and possibly closer to home (Moscow)? It seems very likely.

Also, if the ukranians send nazi russians to russia to kill russians to stop the war, and the nazis get killed, that's a win for everybody, right?
I also quite liked that idea. It would probably be a nightmare to actually use, but it's definitely a creative solution to dealing with infix operator precedence.

>There is no better place to be raising kids to be honest.

I lived in Singapore for over 10 years and have 3 kids. Singapore is incredibly safe, it's fantastic a place for starting and raising a young family. You get a lot of exposure to people from all over the world.

On the other hand, it's actually "too" safe. Locals are sheltered, often making absurd comparisons that neighboring Malaysia / Johor Bahru is some crime ridden warzone, where you take your life into your hands by crossing the border. People file police reports over their food being overly seasoned at restaurants.

IMO raising a child over the long term in the bubble is detrimental as they wind up lacking street smarts which are necessary basically anywhere outside of Singapore.

I can’t speak to where you have been. But that’s not true that I saw in Vietnam when I was there this year.

For example. Go buy a bunh mi and they wrap it in a bag, and place it in a grocery bag (to hang on your scooter). Want a pressed sugar cane drink? Plastic cup, plastic lid, straw and plastic bag.

To your point since there is no trash pickup (it’s usually an old lady that comes at 4am in each district with a cart) there is discards everywhere. Especially in rivers and the like. These are all local things. The culture there is much of a porch culture that you hang out and talk. Each house often has a shop of some type that the tenant lives above and has a “hustle” to make money. So it’s not one where folks go get weekly groceries or whatnot. You want dinner you go get whatever you want, bunh mi, pho, or broken rice and pork? etc from said shop. You want rambutans, you go get some. Cooking and the like is often for special occasions.

The trash problem is huge there. And when I asked they often blamed it on being ocean trash from the west. Even when asking about the trash issues on the Mekong at the northern end of the delta.

While they also burn their fields around the same times annually for crops, they constantly burn trash in much of the country and the smog issue is real in many parts, except maybe Da Nang which is a special case and in fact that provincial leader (was quite popular and successful) was promoted to the capital and then mysteriously died.

Fun fact. Vietnamese don’t have a word for smog. They call it fog. I actually got sick when in Hanoi and i am 50/50 on whether it was from the smog to be honest (the only folks in my party that didn’t get sick there were the folks that lived in Vietnam).
Because you want internet. The attack surface against your laptop is only the WiFi interactions.

A WiFi access point has far less capability to hack its clients than a baseband firmware on an LTE modem with direct memory access to the host.

This is basic opsec stuff. If you’re interested it is a cool rabbit hole to go down just to see how insecure standard systems are.

My theory. The social contract varies in proportion with the available resources.

In cities the friendliness is missing because you don't need to rely on others for food/water or anything else, you can just purchase it nearby.

When resources run out that's where the social contract becomes more social.

Camping trip and need a match to start your campfire? Your neighbor will happily chat with you.

Power outage. People on the street become way more friendly.

Balance, yes. There's a limit to how much debt we can incur before lenders decide that it's too risky to lend money to the US. There's also the fact that as the US borrows money the overall cost of credit for everyone else goes up. So, let's balance the budget and cool down the borrowing.

Payoff the debt, no. Paying the debt would have a negative impact on the overall economy. Money that would normally go to improve the economy would be used to pay down the debt. Money is what powers the economy so we don't want the negative balance that paying off the debt would have on the economy. Also, money that would go to payoff the debt would have to be taken directly from government services, greatly impacting people. The US has paid off the debt once(?) during Andrew Jackson's presidency, which didn't last long, but doing so brought on a nasty recession that almost immediately caused the government to go back into debt. We would see the same happen again.

I don't think thks would work.

I come from another region with the same problem. I know people who manage local factories that produce food and drink wrapped in single-use practic. They buy machines from Italy, they import bottles, caps, everything. Local suppliers look to what west does and they copy.

Imagine that tomorrow, overnight, US and EU governments clamp down on their companies domestically and stop producing single use plastic.
It will be gone from developing world withing a few years.

I think the problem of plastic is problem of industry. It cannot be solved through invividual action. It has to be solved in the factories that produce this crap by the billions.

The problem is memory bandwidth. The M2 has a bandwidth of 100 GB/s, whereas this RX 7600 has 288 GB/s, and top of the line RX 7900 and RTX 4090 reach almost 1 TB/s. Reaching such speeds with standard DDR5 would require a massive number of channels that is impractical for desktop PCs.

The M1, M2, PS5 and Xbox get away with it by being closed systems without any possibility for expansion, but gaming PCs are expected to be expandable.
If github are using private repos for the LLMs I think that would be a serious breach of trust.
I haven't used this system extensively yet. But I don't really see how that situation gets improved by having a single-file configuration system.

First of all, if you have multiple processes trying to read/write the same config, that's kind of suspect, and if file I/O is a bottleneck for your config system, that's a different suspicious situation. Why are your processes writing to the config so... often?

But regardless, I can't see how those problems get immediately better by storing that config in a single file. If anything, having it split across multiple files would improve the situation, as different processes that might only be concerned with different sections of the config won't need to wait on file locks from process unrelated to their concerns.

You're looking at a side effect, deeming it the problem and trying to solve that problem rather than solving the actual issue at hand.

For example let's look at Japan. Japan does not have what you dubbed a densification and price growth spiral despite having cities far more dense than any city in the US. This should tell you that your initial problem is the wrong problem.

The answer is that they develop high-speed transportation to and from dense cores in addition to smaller sparser towns. This means property value is far lower because distance doesn't matter and in fact housing value inverts where it purely depreciates.

If we did what you propose, you would see what's happening to cities like Austin. Where offices are built in a purely sprawling fashion, highly dense traffic and shifting property value to areas along traffic corridors.
How would propublica verify this though without reproducing the research themselves?

All propublica would do (which is sadly “the gold standard”) is check that the research is sound based on what the researchers chose to publish.

> I learned how to manage money. And probably most importantly I learned how to talk to adults.

I learned how to manage money from an very simple allowance for chores my parents gave me. But also... I really learned to manage money at 18 due to a number of things including college expenses and other stuff. Managing money is not the end-all you think has to be learned at a job. Home Ec is a real class in most public schools.

Talking to adults is a thing you learn by living and interacting in the world. You might've happened to learn some of it at work, but there is no requirement to learning it at work. Also, there's nothing that special about talking to adults that's that different from talking to teenagers... Basics of conversation are simple.

> It was my most rewarding and fond memory of my childhood.

None of this justifies child labor. There are plenty of other rewarding opportunities that don't mean that children have to work dangerous meat-packing jobs.

Very importantly, there are plenty of paths that are not your path that were equally valid. (I'm telling you this from experience). Just because you did it that way doesn't mean everyone has to, or necessarily even should. Not saying the way you were raised was wrong, but we've learned a lot more about child-rearing. We don't have to pull out dunce caps just because people had associations with having to go through that in school.

> So long as the area is reasonable well defined to not include too many people who are barely affected, then you don't have to worry about separating the tea cakes from the rest.

There we go again. I get the feeling you don't feel yourself asking for a magic genie here. Clearly you believe that there is an algorithm to determine a "reasonably well defined area" but are unable to provide one.

My challenge is: please, provide this algorithm that will work in all of the crazy cases that show up, from the small to the large. From a slight densification of a suburban area, to a commercial development like a shopping center or business park, to industrial use areas, to an infrastructure project like a new bridge or airport, to a massive development like a nuclear power plant.

I'm arguing that such an algorithm is beyond the possibility of man. You might as well ask for magic.

But as long as you believe such an algorithm is possible, while also refusing to provide it or to sketch it out, you can fall back on: come on bro, it might be better than what we have now, trust me, stop being such a downer. In fact you can turn it around on me - like asking me to prove it couldn't exist!

Meanwhile, my intuition is that any limits that are enacted to prevent participation will disproportionately advantage the existing elite and wealthy to the detriment of the middle and lower classes.
I love this! Really nicely done!
I think Jay B was better than most of the GBD supporters because he seemed to focus more on the targeted prevention. The problem was he didn't counter the downplaying of SARS-CoV-2 by people using his own seroprevalence paper (which had problems), or at least I never saw him push back on Atlas and others. So his criticism about public health issues is completely devoid of his own part in the story. They went heavy with part 1 (COVID isn't that bad for non-elderly) and were surprised that downplaying the impact didn't shift resources to the elderly. If people using his data were saying the overall IFR was like the flu, why should the govt go way into debt protecting the elderly?

"I say this as someone married to a composer, with friends who are writers and artists who, while not wealthy, are able to protect what income they have thanks to copyright"

Futhermore, the interest on that debt is taxpayer money not being used to provide services to the taxpayers. The interest "services" the lenders.

I'll believe it as soon as the manufacturer advertises it. If they have a cable that says "100W" and a different cable that says "high data transfer speed" then I can only assume the high speed one wasn't made to carry that much power.

I know it's only a few amps but there's still a real risk of melting plastic and starting fires (and this has happened in the past).

What I got thus far: They will eventually "pollute" human interactions and condition us to be more like them but if the invasive species will be anything like chirps there will be lots of constructive dialog encouragement and sticking to the toss. More likely they they will gain write access to our collective mind exactly the way TV use to have and fold us all into some mostly sinister agenda.
I actually disagree that this is the reason for the aversion. Instead I think it comes down to a couple of things:

1. Containers are commodity. For commodities, price wins first, then marketing. Docker is equally free (as in beer) and is far better marketed
2. There are a very low number of people working on systemd-nspawn and a very high number of people working on docker (and the ecosystem).
3. Dockerfiles and images are ubiquitous. They're easy to support from other run times, but if you're already in the ecosystem, what's the incentive to change?
Evolution did not program people to care about important things.
I think the reason is explained by this quote:

“Companies should have insurance that covers the maintenance of devices should volunteers need to keep them beyond the end of a clinical trial”

I don’t think she was “forced” to have it surgically removed but this kind of complex implant probably requires ongoing maintenance in order to be operated safely. Since the company that made it went out of business there isn’t anyone around to provide the extremely specialized maintenance which is required.

It’s a sad situation but also a complex one. I imagine providing long-term support for this kind of medical device is non-trivial.
You have what amounts to a prompt, though.
I'll say this once and I'll say this again.. mixing Data + High Power never a good idea..
This the basic idea behind hydrogen fuel cell cars too, only with a fuel cell instead of an engine. The goal is 100% zero emissions with 100% the functionality of existing cars.

It is also why existing BEVs are almost certainly a fad. After all, why will innovation suddenly stop in transportation, and fundamental ideas like low weight and fast refueling suddenly became irrelevant? All signs point to BEVs being an idea from the mid-2000s, and for whatever reason had become stuck in our brain.
Totally agree. I only had one professor who had any idea how things work in the industry, and she went back to it within a couple years. I'm not saying there's no value at a university, but most of it is a waste of time and money.

> Good businesses should only care if work is getting accomplished.

Goodhart's Law (HN might be annoyed at how often I reference this)

Goodhart's Law isn't just about that setting a metric as a target leads to that metric being exploited, but is more about how difficult things are to measure and evaluate. The lesson to be learned here is that measurements should only ever be considered as indicators at best, and usually as weak signals.

Proper evaluation requires significant nuance, exceptions to the rules, and care. It requires being human: messy, a bit chaotic, and inconsistent. There's good reason for our desire for good metrics. It can help make things fair, consistent, reduce bias, and help control for bad actors. There is that appeal to act mechanically, as machines are often highly interpretable and controllable. But over-reliance on metrics end up with the exact same results. Humans will always exploit a metric. Humans aren't machines. Hell, AI always exploits metrics (which creates a big irony that there's so much benchmarkism in the field). For this reason meritocracy can never exist, as unbiased metrics and evaluations can never exist. Doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it, but rather that we need to think slow and with care. Unfortunately, our brain is lazy and wants to think fast and on autopilot. An irony with how often HN references Kahneman's book. The most human thing we can do is actually override our autopilot, as that's what differentiates us from the other animals and machines.

Good businesses should only care if work is getting accomplished. That's hard to measure. But one needs to recognize this rather than chase mechanistic one-size-fits-all metrics. You need to embrace the chaos to navigate it. Set guidelines, not rules. Managers and business owners, take heed.

> surveillance is here to stay

I'm unconvinced. This happens because there is little to no pushback because people are convinced that the hierarchical structures are too powerful. But as I said above to embrace the chaos, this too is how you can attack these structures. I talked about this longer in another thread, but remember that you're <6 steps from any person. Ideas spread like viruses (memes), and the control only exists when we stop talking and communicating. If we self censor (e.g. are afraid to tell others our salaries because we think they'll be mad at us instead of the person that controls the pay) then the hierarchy has too much power. Hierarchies are good, but power gets abused. It isn't good for your business to have that power abused. But it also requires care: to not chase short term gains but think long term and remain fluid (environments change. Adapt or die).

The GBD was right though. Society did the absolute opposite of what every single pandemic plan called for. It takes an insane amount of privilege to look at what took place and think it was a good idea.
> How does anyone have any claim to 'their share' of resources without any input?

Counterpoint: not a single person born was asked to be put here. None. Every one of us was put here because 2 people chose to have sex (with or without consent) and left us as a result.

To that original sin of non-consent, the least those already here owe us is the minimum to live, without any "input".

> Just by being in existence, they deserve to consume natural resources / technology? I don't see how that makes sense.

The sun provides nearly limitless energy. Natural resources can be used to make things. The 'free' resources are already there. To say that every human gets a 'share' of resources upon birth isn't exactly a foreign thought, either. The richie's with trust funds get this... But somehow daddy dearest having others work hard for him means he benefits.
