Yeah, I dig that. At the same time you'd think that a semi-competent analyst with some git chops would be able to interpret the precise crisis far easier than Random Executive Guy could re-create past event from "daily logs" and his Mark I Eyeball[1]. No one hand-flies anymore, don't see why management analysis should be the exception.

I guess, end of the day, that requirement - for daily reports - is sort of a red flag all by itself. Once they get to that point, something's borked.

[1] Oh, and his Leadership. I heard executives have that.

Those are all important, but modern improvements. In the 1980's electronic management of engine systems was still very new to the scene and so most of the systems are still pretty basic.

Indeed.

The question is also, would he quit if they cut his compensation in half? If not, it's free money for the business. The companies nickle and dime every one of its business relations, why shouldn't they do it to the CEO? He's one of the bigger expense lines.
Stupid comment. Why do we know that the ice must come first?

What if the dust was first and much older and at some moment started to attract and collect water from a comet tail or atmospheric water escaping to the space and turning into ice (in a similar way as how desert stones in the dunes collect mist and make dew)

A possibility that every idea necessary to put the James Webb Space Telescope in place and analyse the data it collects from the universe's earliest and most distant galaxies was already present thousands of years ago, in fact must have somehow been built in to the first humans? I don't think there is.
I disagree. If I was trying to take advantage of it, I'd use the term "open source" everywhere like some other projects do. But I tried to find a middle ground so the zealots would be happy(ish). But in the end I'll never make everybody happy, regardless of how much I stress about words [0] [1].

I don't think you get how or why ESG works.

When Blackrock makes an ESG fund, they'll look at governance issues like "Oh, Netflix has crappy governance", and then refuse to give them any money. ESG-funds focus on funds that have good environmental/social/governance records.

If anyone wants ESG-money, they have to match the baseline requirements of ESG-investors and what ESG-funds will offer. Otherwise, you don't get our money.

-----------

The other reason why ESG works, is this "G" issue. Companies that care about shareholders will, on the average, return more money back to shareholders over the long run.

Companies like Netflix who hoard power to themselves and overpay their C-suite are obviously wasting money anyway, and therefore make for crappy investments. "G", theoretically, is just a good idea for investors to think about _anyway_.

AKA: If Netflix are a bunch of assholes, no biggie. I can invest into Disney instead, who has a much better G/Governance structure. And Disney+ is kinda kicking Netflix's ass right now anyway, so I think there's a good chance I'd make more money.

If Netflix wants my investment money (or the investment money of anyone else in the ESG group/fund I'm part of), they'll need to fix their G/Governance issues. If for nothing else, for more fair compensation of their C-suite.
I wouldn’t say ghoulish - I can fully understand the reaction, especially going solely off the linked article.

However, piecing together more of the case over time, it appears just as you said - very much not a case of individual liberty but one of genuine health concern.

By all accounts, it appears law enforcement has tried to allow this person her personal sovereignty in many ways while still keeping track of her to ensure she doesn’t endanger others.

That it got to the point it has, is not due to some authoritarian overreach, but rather due to a series of flagrantly contemptuous actions that were defying law enforcement and putting others at risk unnecessarily.
Anyone around who moderators on SO? Is there a general sense of alienation from corporate SO?

My understanding is that in the early days, a lot of the devs at SO were actually recruited from the SO and Meta moderation userbase but probably that doesn't scale.

Example:

Ben: And then, April 29th, I was, again, sitting in the agency, doing my thing, and I also had my personal email open, and I suddenly got an email from Jeff Atwood.

But it said, “Who should work for Stack Overflow?” That was the subject line, and then the body of the message said, “You should,” and that was basically it.

And that was kind of like this jaw-dropping thing, because from that moment on, it was this, “Okay, maybe the skill that I have is actually marketable,” kind of moment.

If the code works just fine, why remove it? For small algorithms it should be good enough.
Check out https://nerf.studio it can do some mind-bending stuff.
Somehow it doesn’t feel like a callback, but I suppose it’s possible.
Shhhh... It's time for you to learn now.
Should a compiler be allowed to optimize:

int x = 0;
int y = 42;
foo(&x);
bar(y);

to:

int x = 0;
foo(&x);
bar(42);

without performing analysis on foo?
If so, how can that optimization be legal without UB?
I’m saying that these properties are derived from equally ultimately unrealistic scenarios.

I’m honestly quite surprised that people are chiming in with their ‘opinions’ on proven mathematical facts.
There have always been good small form factor options out there. But the big deal with the Pi is not just price and performance. It's all the software development and custom builds that use raspberry pi. Usff PCs don't usually have gpio pins on them, and they don't have tons of purpose built projects for them.

I have a small raspberry pi zero w running linux CUPS printer software and literally just stuck to the back of an old label printer that is plugged in on a high up shelf in my office. There isn't any other $10 device that would be reasonable for this.

I also have another zero w running piKVM in my server rack, connected to a 4 port KVM switch. So I can get full KVM access for my home servers, none of which have IP KVM built into the consumer mobos I built them with. PiKVM only works on raspberry pi and would require porting to other hardware options.

I have another raspberry pi 3b running octoprint to control my 3d printer and provide a camera feed. Octoprint also does not work on other hardware, that I know of.

Some things are much better on a small form factor intel NUC type device. I moved my home assistant off of a PI for a much more performant NUC. But that was easy only because home assistant has made their software to work on other platforms.

I think the raspberry pi W units are the real hero. But they are so difficult to get at the $10 msrp.
I went overseas many years ago and came back with a positive TB test but no symptoms, aka latent TB. I was shocked at how seriously it was taken (I mean, rightfully so, still surprised). If I remember correctly it was a daily pill and a mandatory immovable weekly trip to the state health department office for a checkup/questionnaire. The pill was for 9 months and the questionnaire was for a year. Really wild stuff.
A decent use case of some sort of statistical language model.
> There's still a bunch of folks in their 70s employed writing COBOL

Just to underline this, I know devs in their 20s who became proficient in COBOL because an expert COBOL programmer can make crazy money.
I just don't think it's accurate to say DNA has instructions in the same way a computer does. It's more like a recipe for a chemical reaction. If we expand the definition of a quine away from being self reproducing code and to self reproducing chemical reaction, it seems like things like crystalization or fire could be considered a quine.
The last startup I was at went hardcore with their JIRA Hygiene. All of the developers complained, but it turns out our director saw the layoff writing on the wall. He wanted as much ammunition as possible to try and save his org. Once the consultant came in that the board hired, the first thing they dug into was the JIRA tickets.

The funny part about this though was that our team had amazing JIRA hygiene because we barely had any work to do (I'm not exaggerating when I say I would have about 5 hours of work a week, I would try to help other teams out but that was "stepping on other teams turf"). The teams that had the worst JIRA hygiene were the core platform teams shipping new features. Our team built internal tools so we didn't have to care about UX/scaling/etc.

Ultimately some of our team was laid off, but it made me realize upper management really had no idea what was going on since they were not technical. All they saw was pretty JIRA graphs and thought our team was a bunch of rockstars.
I mean people post wrong answers to stackoverflow all the time. They generally get downvoted.
I will make an exception for Bezos. The people behind AWS and the Amazon site are unparalleled programmers and designers. Bezos didn't code/design it, but he had the vision. Essentially he loves invention, it's what propelled Amazon to enormous heights.

How are they going to check for LLM usage?

I think it's way more likely that poor answers won't mention the usage of LLM's to generate the answer, while good answers aided by LLM's will more often mention it.

Punishing honesty just seems incredibly counterproductive.

Automatic detection is downright dystopian... being censored by an algorithm because it mistook my effort and work for a LLM.
At least the generated responses won’t start by asking me “why in the world would you want to do that?”

Ask HN: Who has hired from HN?
Inspired by the recent "Who got hired from HN?", I thought it would be useful to also know the story from the other side.
I'd say this is the most likely reason. Mental illness, especially dementia, is a widespread problem that US society cannot address due to so much emphasis on individual liberty. Our current and previous presidents are fine examples of how far someone can go when the balance of power is tilted towards enablers. I wouldn't want to advocate for restricting someone's rights, but the widespread negative impacts of someone's personal choices are why our legislation is increasingly following utilitarianism philosophy. This cultural difference is why groups like the WHO and the UN are being relied upon to side-step the free-for-all/free-fall that is the USA.
I've not been to Tacoma, so just taking a guess - Gary, Indiana is a dying/dead industrial town in the Midwest. I believe it was known mainly for steel mills when it was at its peak. These days it's mainly the butt of jokes about the smell of the town. The smell is a very real thing. If you drive through it, there is a very odd industrial smell that permeates the entire town. I used to drive from Chicago to near Detroit on a regular basis, and I could always tell when I hit Gary because of the sudden change in smell. But as far as I know, not much of note has come out of Gary, Indiana in decades. Wikipedia describes it like this:[0]

Like other Rust Belt cities, Gary's once thriving steel industry has been significantly affected by the disappearance of local manufacturing jobs since the 1970s. As a result of this economic shift, the city's population has decreased drastically, having lost 61% of its population since 1960.

> This doesn't work at scale.

See also: the Clarkesworld saga of them being bombarded with mediocre AI-generated short stories. Filtering out bad submissions has always come with the territory, but they're suddenly drowning in them with the advent of LLMs which make it trivial to churn out vaguely story-shaped text on an industrial scale. The generated content isn't good by any measure, but it's "good enough" to pass the smell test and waste a curators time before they realise it has zero actual merit, and there's so much that it becomes a sisyphean task to sort through it.

Likewise with image generation, it's now incredibly easy to churn out images that look like something a person might make to express themselves, which are actually just a loosely guided slice through a statistical model of pre-existing images, passing the smell test for "good art" despite having zero actual intent or substance. It's spam, but for culture.
I and others that I know have refused treatment due to the cost. That is absolutely how it works here.

Doesnt seem like the relevant factor for this person in particular.
I'm growing incredibly tired of false argument making that this entails.

If anything it reads as whining that they're not competing with the current trends and have a gross misunderstanding the basic points they're trying to make.

Case in point patently misrepresenting 'progressives' as some sort of monolithic cohesive entity hell bent on hiding truth instead of furthering discovery.

Additionally "decolonizing" science is short for giving representation and acknowledging that not every major breakthrough over the past 500 years has been in the 'West'. Which these people clearly can't understand.
We don't have to have evidence that she spread it to anyone to know that TB is easily spreadable and to know that she was doing things that can spread it.

This is why we have laws against drunk driving, rather than waiting until after a drunk driver hits someone. For exactly the same reason, courts do have the right to order people confined when they present a serious risk of contagion, rather than first demanding proof of contagion.
I think this is what folks forget that our ability to produce is mind boggling. Onshoring and friend shoring is starting to become a national security issue, especially as China has a stated Taiwan “unification” date on the calendar and they’re cozying up to Russia, Iran, and North Korea while becoming increasingly hostile to US interests globally but especially in their neighborhood. Environmental concerns are typically the primary bottleneck in production state side, and national defense trumps such reviews. (For better or worse, no qualitative view meant or implied)

We can probably build capabilities in the order of a decade and we are already starting. In fact the pandemic showed that simply relying on globalized trade is a national security risk, let alone the other factors at play. I expect China will become increasingly marginalized on the global factory floor - which sadly I think will destabilize the situation. As their economic future hinges less on trade, their militaristic and exceedingly strident nationalist wing will demand growth through expansion and conquest.

It’s a race against time to see if we get there. Then it’s a race against rationality to see if we survive.
Exactly, it’s not that useful if the answer I’m looking for exists on the platform but I can’t find it because of the signal vs. noise ratio. To me, usually, the context of the answer is more important than the answer text itself.
Ok? You can look at my original comment -- I'm talking about cloth ones. I'm not interested in arguing with you about the relative proportion of cloth masks and synthetic masks.
Schematics are available https://the-analog-thing.org/docs/dirhtml/rst/schematics/ though usually Open Source Hardware refers to releasing the original design files, including schematic and board layout, rather than just PDFs of the schematic: https://www.oshwa.org/definition/
But there is also this idea that you can't judge the system while being a part of it. You simply can't see the whole picture.
I was surprised at how low it was on the front page, and how quickly it disappeared. But I never saw a "flagged" indicator on it. I thought that flagged posts typically had these indicators — is this not the case?
>You're missing the point, which is that this submission is just the latest in a long string of duplicate submissions, some of which have already been marked [dupe] by the moderators.

Then let the moderators moderate, and you can choose a different hill upon which to die, so to speak.
> Until we knew that surface transmission wasn't a serious vector, it made total sense to guard against it.

But at what cost? We knew that benzene is toxic. Wiping down every surface with a toxic chemical without knowing if it even helps against covid is much more of an emotional/fearful reaction than a rational one, IMO.

The paperclip maximizer is an extreme thought experiment to make a point about the the orthogonality thesis. If you think anyone actually takes it seriously as a real-world thing you never understood the example. It is used to guide discussion.

The trolley problem is similarly a thought experiment in moral philosophy that many moral philosophers have used to guide discussion, but nobody actually takes the thought experiment seriously as a "real-world" thing.

If you actually want to engage with the argument in good faith for why an AI might indeed be smart enough to wipe us out but "dumb enough" to just pursue some other goal ("make paperclips as an extreme example") there is a great video by Rob Miles here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeecOKBus3Q

Point out the flaws in the reasoning. Just saying "this is nonsense" does nothing but prove you've never actually taken the time to understand the best arguments.

Also... Alan Turing, Geoffrey Hinton... Extremely influential and intelligent people take/took this seriously. These are not SciFi fanboys. AI doom only became sci-fi after smart people like Alan Turing decades ago raised the alarms flags about where AI development might go if we are not careful.
Musk is a great example of the opposite of this. If he had a top shelf PR team and let them handle all communication, he would still be widely adored.

In some sense I respect him for at least being transparent. Most other billionaires are only visible through heavily refracted PR lenses.
You will mortgage your degree or your work license in order to pay off your purchases, that have already been accumulating debt from the split payments for years.

The government will later offer debt relief to those who agree to be permanently sterilized. It will offset your debt by giving huge amounts of carbon credits for the emissions your children would have been guilty of.

How do you know the replacement CEO wouldn’t increase the value by >0.03%?
At a previous job, software testers had to write reports every Mon/Wed/Fri on what they did and e-mail them to their supervisor.

One of them got pretty tired of writing the same shit, and was like 99% sure the supervisor wasn't reading the reports, so started adding "I don't think anybody is reading these. This is a waste of my time." right above his e-mail signature.

It took over 3 months before it got noticed. Supervisor wasn't pleased, but had to admit he was right. He still required reports, but only on Fridays.
This also applies to business / project data. Sure an AI can infer a lot from git history, but there's a lot of things we keep quiet in our head that only come out with good conversation.
The US (especially California) basically made it illegal to provide mental health care unless the patient is currently requesting it.

This creates a catch-22 where people that have previously-undiagnosed mental health conditions are denied access to basic healthcare. Worse, even if you were previously certified insane (e.g., for paranoid schizophrenia or manic depression) and have temporarily recovered, it's extremely difficult (impossible?) to sign away your future self's ability to decline medical care, even knowing that you would only do that because of a mental health relapse that makes you unable to care for yourself.

A large percentage of the crazy homeless people you see when walking outside in bay area cities fell into that legal trap (according to workers at our local emergency mental health facilities).

I guess the above now applies to regular health care, since they've decided that imprisoning this woman indefinitely for being sick and unable to care for herself is more compassionate than putting her through a round of antibiotics.
It's a crime to have unprotected sex with people if you know you have an STI and do not disclose it to your partner. The essence of this crime is that by purposefully exposing your partner to a serious illness, you are "assaulting" them. This is essentially what this lady is doing to the people she is breathing around.
I'd wager that the "majority of devs out there [who] aren't so invested in this stuff" aren't invested enough that they will, upon being corrected, state that they disagree with the historical definition, however (versus just being sloppy/careless when using it, i.e. out of ignorance in the original instance).
Concentrating power in an even smaller group of narcissists who got there by bravado and charisma doesn't sound like it's a set up for success.

Obviously some deep reconsideration has to be done
Well, there is a big difference between using TikTok and voting. You have a constitutional right to vote. And for good, real world reasons, many supreme court cases have been fought over all the obstacles that have been put in place for voters. Any verification method required to vote has to be looked at carefully and gone through with a fine-toothed comb lest we allow the evils of our past to resurface in exactly the same ways.
