I'm not taking sides on this, but I wanted to point out that you do make this claim: "Do Americans (or more generally, programmers in the states) write better software because they're more closely in touch with the tech industry?"

Are Americans more closely in touch with the tech industry? I don't know what this is based on, but I'd like to see the metric compared to other countries, such as Japan.

I can't tell, because the grammar is sufficiently vague, if your claim is that American software is better, or that Americans are more in touch with the tech industry, but it surely seems like one or the other.
Free money is never going to solve anything. I don't mind helping people in need but just handing out money to people especially the ones that are already lazy wouldn't solve a thing.

Instead, we should focus on getting people to work. Whatever that takes. We should reward those who want to work and penalize those who don't. If you can't work due to a real disability, you should be helped.

The truth is that we haven't solved automated all the jobs that require suffering.

With the worry about AI, I was staring at my plumbing stack the other day for hours... Realizing, this is a shit job in the truest form, and I couldn't figure out how a machine could do it.

The reason to understand the suffering, to indoctrinate people as you say, is to teach people to respect those that have these jobs. Life is hard, and we are in it together.

This was only possible because ChatGPT-style models were trained on data scraped from Reddit using the (then) free API.

These people purchased land in the checker board manner = you only buy half the land to control it all. The theory that few can cross by thinning their middle to a zero point. Judge rules people can cross within the air space and not violate ownership.
This has been used to control full checkerboards while owning only half. As a result few people would buy these land locked squares - until now. Future people will see if they figure out to get vehicles across the same way. In theory an 8 wheel vehicle with zero springs/suspension could cross on a rigid strong platform as the unsprung rigid frame would bridge the space with 2 wheels, then 4, then 6 and then 8 = across - of course it would have Humvee on top that could be moved forward/backward to suit.
Owners could block with fences on their side, so your platforms would need to be higher. For that matter, a crane could work?

There are some practical quirks to the realities of chess tournaments, and who wants to play who, which I bet lead to a lot of deviation.

In practice, a super GM in their late 30s would hate to be playing up and coming teenagers that just made GM since they are underrated (Those kids gain 200+ points of ELO in a year or two) and the older GM is probably getting worse anyway. So, in practice, there is a difficult transition to get a high enough ELO vs regular GMs and IMs to have good chances to aim for a 2700, where the real gains are at.

Add to that the fact that there are few classical tournaments, while the youth is training in blitz online, and you can find pretty deceptive ELOs out there.

The purest idealistic version of means testing may well be fine in theory, but in practice means testing is universally co-opted by conservative governments to make it difficult or impossible for the people with the least resources (and thus most in need of the benefits) to actually get them.

The Australian Centrelink programme is a pretty good example of what happens: one government introduces a system of unemployment benefits and then later a different conservative government (whose members and voting base don't like poor people) are able to pervert the system through means testing provisions and other bureaucratic hurdles to effectively prevent a large subset of eligible persons from actually collecting the benefits to which they are entitled, but without having to deal with the political fallout of actually ending or reducing benefits on paper.

>That pretty much answers the question of why we don’t have teleportation devices or antigravity shoes. Common sense suggests that if you want to maximize scientific creativity, you find some bright people, give them the resources they need to pursue whatever idea comes into their heads, and then leave them alone. Most will turn up nothing, but one or two may well discover something. But if you want to minimize the possibility of unexpected breakthroughs, tell those same people they will receive no resources at all unless they spend the bulk of their time competing against each other to convince you they know in advance what they are going to discover.

> where you don't have max hours or overtime eligibility at all?

No, the EU is pretty strict about those things. Only way you can be ineligible for overtime is if you own the business. And even then you’re technically eligible, but I’ve never heard of anyone paying themselves overtime.

In practice the “exempt” part happens in a grey area: The boss and the employee shake hands to “make things simpler” and write down 40h every week in whatever tracking thingy. Worked less than 40? Great, you get 40. Worked more? Great, you get 40. wink wink

CDI approves every rate change. Between marginally higher risks, inflation, new costs (e.g. re-capitalising the FAIR Plan for people who like living inside wildfires) and the risk that future rates won't be approved, the cost basis is likely quite a bit higher than 50%, particularly if you take into account prior years covered by the pandemic rate-hike moratorium [1].

It replaces `runc` which is used by most non-docker container runtimes to actually start the container. Thus the punny name.

When using kubernetes, the hierarchy is as follows:

1. kubernetes master tells kubelet what to do (sort of, not important here)
2. kubelet uses CRI-compatible runtime to start containers
3. containerd or CRI-O handle management of containers and start them using runc or crun
4. runc/crun are the applications that setup the final environment of application to run in container, using resources (mounts, devices, etc) provided to them by upper layers. They also handle things like sending stdout/stderr to logs, or setting up a pseudoterminal to talk to a program in container, etc.

I do not think this is much of a metaphor, even. The whole paralegal system built around so-called intellectual property is conceptually analogous to the feudal system of banalités, private tolls, guild privileges and monopolies etc. abolished in the early days of the French Revolution. In the sense that it is a set of privileges invented, granted and enforced by the central state power to some private parties, allowing the latter to directly extract rent from the public.

By the way various feudal privileges were fascinating by the way in how Byzantine and random they were, of course from the modern perspective. At the end even the nobles supporting the Enlightenment were for ending them: some say also because they saw more money in free(r?) enterprise. I kind of doubt we'll live to see similar sentiment in copyright robber barons.

It's not really clear to me that number is correct; looking on the internet I also see other (much lower) numbers, as well as mentions that ~25% goes to overhead in the form of agents and such. I can't really find a good source on what the yearly net income of a WGA writer really is.

In my previous company for a project we had to hire lawyer for more than a week just to determine if we were breaking law, even though the site didn't do any bad things by normal people standard.

In the end the suggestion was to just slap a consent form with consent rejection redirecting to some other site, which didn't made sense to me, but yeah that's what the law says.
Hopefully they come with auto-update firmware where if I plug a gen 15 cable into a gen 14 device and a gen 12 local power delivery unit the cpu in the cable will update the key in the PDU and get key material from the device to ensure that everyone's up-to-date on their licenses.

Oh yeah uhh not much to it. Just a lot of room on the company credit card and BigQuery. And lots of finding of tables that were just holding logs data and nuking those or at worst taking a subset and storing it in cold storage.

The rest is ad data of events and such. BigQuery is quite nice in that being managed we don’t have to do much.
The European Union broadly believes in this and to my understanding the situation is broadly 'better' here than in North America.

E.g. If I shop for plane tickets and I see a flight advertised for, say, 92 EUR I know that the price includes all taxes (sales taxes and airport taxes). Credit-card processing fees are (I think) no longer permitted.

It's not a perfect system - there are still the 'optional' extras (hold-bags, seat-bookings, insurance) extras on top of the price (and sometimes dark patterns to make you pay for them).

In a related matter, in the UK (not sure about the EU) there are advertising regulations which cover 'from' prices. I believe here if you advertise a price as 'from XXX' (e.g. 'flights to Berlin from 50 GBP') then at least 10% of the inventory needs to be available at that price. So no having a single seat on a 150 seat plane available at an artificially low price.
The motivation behind this is always interesting to me. When managing, I try to find simple measurable work-output metrics, establish them clearly, and give people as much freedom as possible outside of getting work done.

My fear is that the law will be settled for large corporations in the stupidest manner possible.

For example: I took an into to chemical engineering class, bought and read the textbook. Later in my career I taught that class as a graduate student.

If I write blog entries about NPSH considerations when sizing pumps, it may seem to be similar to the text book I used oh so many years ago. If an AI uses my blogs for training does the book publisher have a case for infringement? If the AI training owners buy used text books, scan and digitize them, are they not allowed to train their AI on the data?

I find all of this hew and cry about training data to just be large corps wanting yet another dip into someone else’s wallet.

You published data. There was no license agreement in place, nor do I think you should have one if you also want to claim copyright protection. The fact that someone else may make a buck is just a fact of life and business.

See also the proposal for language-support for scoped allocations:

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p26...

There are some issues with PMR usage that it hopes to resolve, for example:

struct Aggregate {
std::pmr::string data1;
std::pmr::string data2;
std::pmr::string data3;
};

std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator a1;
Aggregate ag = {{"Hello", a1}, {"World", a1}, {"!", a1}};

std::pmr::vector<Aggregate> va(a1);
va.emplace_back(std::move(ag)); // Correct allocator retained by moves
va.emplace_back(ag); // Error, copied lvalue has wrong allocator
va.resize(5); // Error, new values have wrong allocator
va.resize(1); // OK, remove all objects with bad allocators

The proposed syntax is via a "using" keyword:

std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator a4;
ScopeAggregate s1 using a4 {"Hello"};

> if you don't increase capacity all you are doing is charging an arbitrary price to implement priority

This sort of logic, followed to its conclusion, implies that nobody should charge for variable costs before they have actually been incurred, even if said costs are 'chunky'.

For example, it implies that TSMC shouldn't charge a customer (Apple, let's say) more for its large order, unless TSMC has already broken ground on a new fab.
