The inflation they're experiencing is not a sign of a collapsing economy. It's similar to other European countries right now. Also, 80k USD a year is a ton by European standards, so I'm not sure why you're using that as a point of comparison. Especially considering the employer pays significantly more (which goes to healthcare, pension, etc.) in practice. Iceland has some of the highest salaries in Western Europe.
Here's a bit closer look at the mechanics:

Thank you for this hint.
Sure, but it never was — the .eu domain was for the European Union from the beginning, and the ISO code EU is for the European Union. The .eu domain was opened by agreement to the EEA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) countries as well. But Swiss registrants have never been eligible (except via citizenship/residency in one of the qualifying states), for example.

When the UK left the EU, they didn't negotiate any EEA-style agreement to get access to .eu in their Brexit deal.
That's true, and I should have clarified that.

However, is using a proxy like ipfs.io really using ipfs?

If everyone did that, there's no point to using this protocol. The strength of the network comes from the fact that the content gets replicated/distributed when accessed. That doesn't happen when accessed through a proxy.
I think it got plenty of investment in the sense of zero relevant work despite many man-years. Even low-value Arxiv fodder has better payoff than that (because it's not 0). And it's obvious why it doesn't work, and never will work: the resource requirements are so stringent that they are off by many orders of magnitude on every dimension, from data to flops to RAM. Hence, from the start, the Hutter Prize has incentivized pretty much only bit-twiddling demo-scene-style work.

> I never hear men complain about the unrealistic depiction of men in women shows.

Err, really? I'm a man and I complain about this all the time, and so do some of my friends. In any case, even if you've never heard people talk about this, I'm sure there are objections to the depictions of men that _you_ could imagine. If you think these objections are underrepresented, talking to those around you about them would be a positive influence.

> It was just some (influential!) minority of feminists who complained about this, got amplified by sympathetic journalists (who mostly lean pretty far left), and the rest is history.

Already in this sentence you're discounting the fact that these complaints resonate with people. I'm not sure in which way you think these feminists are “influential”, but let's say journalists widely covered certain arguments. Do you mean this media coverage somehow brainwashed people? Surely not, because you would be denying the agency of readers. Clearly there is something in these arguments that legitimately appeals to people. Isn't it interesting and important to find out what parts of the arguments resonated with someone and why, even if you think the end result is wrong?

For example, I disagree with those who voted for Brexit to happen. But if I just dismissed them as brainwashed idiots, that would be very foolish of me. These people voted this way for a reason, and I need to understand which part of Brexit resonated with them, even if I think they came to the wrong conclusion, otherwise I can never understand them and I can never advocate for an alternative that will meet their needs as well.

> (who mostly lean pretty far left)

Again, why does this matter? There is no need to resort to football team factionalism, to make things about politics instead of policies. Do you think the arguments are good? Great, then these people have a point. Do you think these arguments are bad? Okay, that's fair, make your opinion heard so that you can add your voice. Tell us in more detail about why those policies are bad, not about why _the people making those points_ are bad. It would be rash of me to psychoanalyse why are you are making certain arguments without even knowing you, let alone to say that you are trying to influence people as part of some conspiracy. (Sorry if I'm portraying your view in an overdramatic way but it did sound like you were saying something like this a little bit.)

> motivated reasoning

Motivated by what? Do you really think a love of complaining is a more likely motivator than a desire to right a perceived injustice?

Not necessarily, for instance 3rd party keyboards like Grammarly are keyloggers by their very nature. They grab your input, process it, and give output in terms of grammar corrections. And a rogue app update can absolutely do the same.

The same way you verify anything is what you want and stays that way, MD5/SHA256 hashes and airgaps.

Can you list a single country we have more requirements than? You'll find voter ID is ubiquitous in the rest of the world. Incidentally it's also overwhelmingly supported in the US (by 80% [1]) which obviously goes well beyond any partisan divide.

Also, voting is not a constitutional right. There were some constitutional amendments added later (in other words, not in the Bill of Rights) that prevented states from restricting voters based on things like race or sex, but states have relatively few limitations on who they allow or prevent from voting. This is why states can do things like prevent convicted felons from voting.

As much as I might dislike IBM, Canonical is doing the same thing. Many established distros are pushing containers for very practical reasons - they shift significant amounts of packaging work from distros to developers. It's annoying but it makes sense.

Should all remote employees have their compensation reduced accordingly to the pay scale of the location they submit work from, then?

If a Google engineer with a $300k comp in Mountain View decides to work for a month from Nairobi, should their wage be reduced 3,200% for that duration?
It's not extreme. It's used to provide services for us. Denmarks taxes on cars are high even compared to other nordic countries, so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. Most people don't even need a car there.

You are fucking with this company's fief.

There, that's what's really going on. They feel entitled to earning money and are pissed they need any customers at all to get it.

Public libraries are now paying more money per use for licensing fees than an individual would pay. Libraries are pretty much looking into the abyss, no more permanent copies of anything. All books a rented, they all have usage limits, typically some combination of date of expiration as well as number of checkouts - they the library must pay for another license.

It's beyond absurd. I'm not at all sympathetic to this business model. Meanwhile author percentages have gone down.

Digital is dramatically worse, except for the fief holders.

> A UBI funded by income tax and a NIT are entirely equivalent in outcomes.

This is just simply not true. NIT still has work incentivizes, UBI does not. UBI is also much more expensive and could have less inflationary effects. They are not the same. The Wikipedia article even had an entire section devoted to this.

> And decreasing bureaucratic costs whilst increasing total programme spend by at least two orders of magnitude more (or slashing all current benefit recipients' incomes to below subsistence levels) is a ridiculous priority.

It's not a "priority" it's one of the tenets of the proposal. NIT could actually be cheaper than traditional welfare programs and wasn't intended to be supplemental policy, but a replacement.
Yes, it's actually somewhat of a decent (if cursed) message queue for many usecases too. Not to mention the debuggability (you already know how to use an email client).
Most of the professors I've had taught the course entirely with free materials. I think they went out of their way to avoid having students spend money. A top-down policy forcing all students to buy textbooks sounds like a way to take control away from these professors in order to further enrich the school and the publishers at students' expense.

I don't view textbook costs as a "dark pattern", they're an honest signal from the professor to the students. A professor who makes a $250 book mandatory and then barely uses it sends one kind of signal. A professor who goes out of their way to hunt down (or even scan) and provide free PDFs for all required readings sends another. Students receive these signals and they're reflected in professors' online ratings. To the extent possible (which is a large extent for some highly flexible programs, such as mine), students will go out of their way to drop and swap classes to avoid unpopular professors, further incentivizing faculty to keep these ancillary costs down.

Hang on there. A legal hazard is not necessarily a moral hazard.
Components which are likely there and which could be affecting quality: the invisible-to-the-user 'system prompt' (probably with few-shot examples), retrieval from history (not necessarily exclusively your own, as a way to augment few-shot), cascaded models with a very cheap 'turbo' model to try to answer first, possibly regular finetunes of the main chat model (note that OP only specifies the API model hasn't changed, but the live chat models seem to change frequently), and a post-generation filtering model trying to reject offensive outputs.

We know MS Bing Sydney is doing at least 3 of those (prompt, cascade with Megatron, and finetuned rejection classifier for post-output filtering) on top of its GPT-4-finetune, so it's not a stretch to figure that OA is doing similar things.
Not coming back? But they clearly are? Pimoroni was shipping Pi 4Bs last week.

It has nothing to do with "burning through the charitable donation money". The Pi is sold by a (profitable, AFAIK) wholly-owned subsidiary, the Raspberry Pi Trading Company. Manufacturing them does not absorb Foundation money at all.

They have been supply-constrained on components. It's that simple, surely. Eben Upton has said it again and again, and sometimes gone into detail about which components. They chose to try to keep the whole ecosystem alive, which meant prioritising commercial customers, they've been manufacturing millions of devices per year, and it still isn't enough to meet demand.

FWIW, if I was in their shoes I would have discontinued the 4B series entirely, by early 2022. I personally think they should not be operating in that segment with an SBC. I think there should just be a Pi 400 that takes a CM4. Both to simplify things in the educational sector, and to get out of the "high end SBC I am not using that is in my desk drawer" segment entirely.

They should focus on the Pico, which is clearly now their most interesting product line and their most interesting educational device.

Agreed, having control over what you see makes a big difference. I've been using Twitter this way for several years and it's been nice ("Lists" feature and TweetDeck).
That's sort of why though. When we've got population scale social experiments with pensions and petrostates giving strong indications that recipients of unconditional incomes sufficient to live off mostly choose not to work and especially avoid certain jobs, it's important to counter that by giving a handful of people £32k over the course of two years and discovering they are happy to have more money and haven't been able to afford to retire yet!
Ridiculous. Not even the most basic attempt to distinguish the impact of city size. For example, Houston (ranked worst on the list) is actually has a higher population per dog bite (i.e. fewer dog bites per 1000 people), than other cities ranked lower.

Houston (ranked worst)

population 2,301,572

dog bites 57

dog bites per 1,000 people: 0.0247

Baltimore (ranked 20th worst)

population 585,708

dog bites 16

dog bites per 1,000 people: 0.0273

Dayton (ranked 18th worst)

population 137,644

dog bites 18

dog bites per 1,000 people: 0.1308

So, Dayton has about 6x the problem that Houston does, but somehow is ranked as not as bad. Essentially, the reason they list California and Texas as the worst, is that they have the largest populations.

Not to mention that different areas have different numbers of dogs, and in some areas the postal service worker doesn't have to approach the house, but just deposits in the mail hive.
Respectfully, the "reason to do the job" is that you help people see. That's pretty cool. I understand the rest of the experience is pretty poor, but you do have a pretty fair amount of "helping people" potential at work.

If you worked in tech, you could help people see... advertisements. That's potentially more lucrative but it's gotta be depressing after a life of that to reflect on one's life work.

>It's a hard job, both practically and emotionally

I disagree that internet moderation is an hard job. It is actually quite easy which is why even children are able to do it. It is an attractive job due how you get power over the people you are moderating. This results in most moderators doing it for no compensation at all.

I did more or less. I said I’m the instructor of record I can decide how I take assignments. Next thing was “paperless” complaints. I was “using too much paper.” After a little back and forth they got tired of me, handed me a degree and told me to leave.

I think what really irked them was other students found out and started demanding it from all the real professors and adjuncts and in other contexts. Then I was an actual problem not just a troublemaker.

AFAIK, the problem is that the chip manufacturer decided not to build it anymore. Again, AFAIK, none of the decision falls into the project. Besides, clones have been unavailable too, and if it was just about the project, the clones would still be created.

Good thing it's open source so that they can just cite the line where the hard coding is.
