I’ve seen a similar prompt before, did you get the inspiration from somewhere?
regional manager about to get written up for that one
I’m heading there in 2 days! It’s a bit daunting to think about.
No way that's real right? That's more than junior engineers at FAANG
You must be a fan of Subversion then. On a more serious note, I'm sure I've seen this (any unique shortenings standing in for the whole word) in an actual language at some point, and it was infuriating.
We needed it. But things changed now.
If the election really was stolen they seem pretty docile about it. It was posturing. That’s more consistent with the evidence.
The first thing that comes to mind is that rents would quickly adjust to extract as much money as possible from someone on UBI. And any increase on UBI would just lead to an increase in rent prices. People working while on UBI would squeeze those not working, or not earning enough, out of the housing market. Meaning people will probably need to work to afford living. So back to square one.

Now you need to figure out rent-control.

But that could screw up the construction market, reducing the incentive to build, and thus the supply. And quite possibly the quality of said supply.

And that’s just housing.
The expectation that homes won't deprecate like most assets do is an anomaly.
Many of my professors would mention the problem numbers for both the current version, and the previous version, to deal with that specifically.
Aircraft goes NORDO as it heads To DC. F16s Scrambled
This is grift masquerading as public services.
The government can only keep interest rates artificially high for so long. Once they go down again, housing prices are going to explode.

There's no way to reverse printing 13 trillion dollars in corona stimulus.. the damage has been done.
That’s actually more than several engineers I know who work in the bay. What a wild wild city SF is (and not in a good way).
What do you mean by service integration?
Apply your own advice and use common sense. Let’s suppose the CNN’s article is non biased and accurate:

SpaceX sent a letter to the Pentagon saying it can no longer continue to fund the Starlink service as it has. The letter also requested that the Pentagon take over funding for Ukraine’s government and military use of Starlink, which SpaceX claims would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year and could cost close to $400 million for the next 12 months

That was an official, non public letter to the DOD. It said SpaceX had been funding Ukraine’s use of Starlink. Do you think they could lie to the Pentagon about who paid for the service? The Russia’s invasion is the best advertising for Starlink for military use. Nobody in their right mind want to piss off their primary and potentially most lucrative customer.

You keep saying SpaceX charged 10x of the normal price. That’s BS. You definitely don’t know how much it costs to serve those terminals.

> If you look at actual reporting the revenue Musk is receiving from Ukraine service is enormous, hundreds of millions a year.

The actual reporting that you cited did not say that. The war has only been over a year, and if the letter above was sent in September 2022 SpaceX couldn’t possibly get paid until at least November, likely much later if the news about the contract only comes out now. It has the potential of bringing hundreds of millions annual revenue, which the contract in question makes it more of a reality.
I mean, you could be picking up human shit instead.
I dunno, I get the skilled vs unskilled thing, but I'd take a haircut on pay to not have to walk around looking for poop to pick up...
Not really the interest rates are unaffordable for anyone that needs to take out a loan to buy their first house.

Great for cash buyers...
> You shouldn't have free reign to profit off of artistic hard work of someone else without a way for them to benefit from that as well.

You were indoctrinated into this world view and believe it to be a natural law. I was not and I don’t.

You seem pretty angry that somebody would think differently, too.

I can’t conceive of looking at the world that way and being morally okay with it.
> The point is that package maintenance is work that nobody is willing to do or to pay for.

It's also work that shouldn't have to exist in the first place. Same application being packaged in different formats - rpms, debs, tarballs and what not -, linked against different set of libraries - so that end users can unpack and run the application developers develop.

I know I'm simplifying the issue, but when you step back and look at the issue of how much time, energy and money goes into maintaining packages of the same software for different versions of different distributions, makes you wonder how we got into such a situation.

I remember having to update whole Ubuntu version to get a newer version of an application I wanted to use.
Do junior FAANG engineers have to pick up human waste? IMO, "dirty work" deserves the paycheck.
Local and state governments suck every drop out of the three legged stool. Poor planning really.
> which are substantially similar but not copyrighted.

if it's considered substantially similar, then why is it not copyrighted? The difference must also be substantial. Therefore, it should be acceptable as a new works, rather than a derivative works.
Sturgeon's Law: "90 of everything is crap".

It's no surprise that when you make virtually all mainstream programming languages OOP, then there will be a vast amount of bad OOP code out there (as by definition mainstream code then becomes "OOP code").
I read too far into this before realizing it's a tangled mess of disgruntled subversion. One of your sources cites a handwavy essay by Jacob Buckman whining about nebulous acts of academic self-promotion as he pleads with the research community to commit as much fraud as possible so computer science will lose more respect as a field, since he feels what little respect we've earned in our short history is undeserved. I feel stupider for having read it.
You’re looking at it with western eyes and a big salary.

Now imagine being at McDonald’s on minimum wage. Your manager asks you to do something that in your eyes make no sense. Last time he did, you said something and got réprimantes for it. Do you bring it up again? Or you let the manager decide and move on with your life.
have you been to SF recently though? Would you like to raise a family there?

Article from 2018 about it: https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-poop-patrol-em...

> As members of the city's "Poop Patrol," workers are entitled to $71,760 a year, plus an additional $112,918 in benefits, such as healthcare and retirement savings, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

> In August, the city announced that five staffers from the San Francisco Department of Public Works would soon roam the Tenderloin neighborhood — where nearly half of the city's homeless population is — in search of waste. The staffers will begin their efforts each afternoon equipped with a steam cleaner for sanitizing the streets
The housing market is unique in that interest rates did absolutely nothing to housing prices. But it was entirely expected. When you couple low supply with people who have 2-3% interest rates, you create an absolutely massive shortage on the supply side. Why would a current home owner EVER sell their house right now? Not only are the prices outrageous, but you’ll be paying 7% interest. Even if you have to sell, you’re better off renting and picketing the difference. It’s madness.
It’s not necessary, but it is a lot less fiddly: you automatically look at only the tasks that someone else isn’t currently working on, and because the lock is held by the database connection you get automatic retries if your worker crashes and drops the connection. You could figure out all of the interactions needed to make this work yourself, but if the database already has support built in you may as well use it (and there’s a straightforward path to migrate if you need more sophistication later).
This comment above is it so far. I am not trying to get make it popular, I just thought it was relevant to this thread and might help somebody else.
Bigger opportunity cost for cash buyers...
It’s not really depreciation, it’s the absence of surge pricing
Well, that and an appeal to authority. The entire narrative depended on appeals to “the experts”. Where “the experts” were the doomiest of doomsday “experts”. Anything other that “covid is literally the only problem we need to solve for” was all that was allowed.

If you dared to question “the experts” and their idiotic plans you were immediately tossed into the alt-right wacko bucket. Didn’t matter what your credentials were or anything. Only doomsday “experts” were allowed a voice.

To this day I still can’t believe how many people went along with that crap for almost three years.
He has a point. If you have been following AMD for years you'll see there's something inexplicable about the quality of their drivers. <shrug> I guess it's the culture. I don't know but something seems wrong.
Yes, it's partially based on the Snapchat AI one. I don't really know that much about optimizing prompts so I started there, removed the stuff that didn't apply and added a few things of my own. There is probably a lot of room for improvement.
> they usually define identity elements for all primitive functions
> using reduce with non-primitive functions can result in domain errors

ml-style folds in the presence of ad-hoc polymorphism solve this rather handily -- in haskell for instance monoid is the typeclass that only requires an associative operation and an identity element

typeclasses have some clunkiness in this regard; you have to wrap numeric types as "sum" or "product" etc to go "ah yes today i want to say numbers are a monoid under this operation" but at the very least it does enable formal, user-defined associations between identity elements and functions

luckily most things programmers deal with are plausibly just one kind of monoid. for instance the eleventy billion different string types haskell programmers love to use all tend to satisfy monoid under concatenation without any wrappers
As pointed out in the article the lions share of losses are in Pac Heights and Nob Hill due to the outsized prices already there.

I rent a home there that fluctuates between 7 million and 5 million over the course of the pandemic and I watched a neighbor poor over 100! Million into a house when he thought things were only going up.

That being said most people here don’t ever sell really. You just hold and buy another home someplace else. It’s a funny place.

So the loses are not real until they are realized. That being said I don’t think the city is headed in a positive direction anytime in the next 5 years.
No there exists natural/universal rights and legal/customary rights.

I should've left the quoted part out as its presumptuous, my bad.
They're banning smartphones, not (say) laptops. Presumably the latter are less of an issue since you're not tempted to be using them constantly at all times.
That part of my comment was meant as a paraphrase of the original tweet, perhaps I should have put quotes. I am not looking for engagement tips, just pointing out that OP's measure of engagement is bogus.
I dunno, I would rather take the job security instead of the constant threat of downsizing letter from CEO proclaiming what an incredibly difficult decision it has been while planning their next luxury holiday in the Mediterranean.
compared with Seoul and Hangzhou, this 16.7% seems such a mild decline.
If your reply were correct, then why did so many millions of Americans die? You've about a million Covid deaths, and about a hundred million cases. By number of deaths the US is number 1 by far (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/worldwide-graphs/). The internet is full of stories were working class people got Covid because they had no other choice, here's a random citation:

>Californians in manual labor and in-person service occupations experienced disproportionate COVID-19 mortality, with the highest rates observed among male, Latino, and Black workers; these occupational group should be prioritized for prevention.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

If US support was so amazing as you claim, why do these numbers exist? Why are they so much higher than other countries?

Are these real jobs? Where are they operating and has anyone verified their effectiveness? In the last decade, I haven’t seen the poop problem get any better in the Mission, SoMA, and the Tenderloin…
I think the market is pretty locked due to this and akin to having no liquidity.
I'm willing to be that some digging would probably find this to be a gross misrepresentation (remember the McDonalds coffee? Where a cup of coffee was served too hot, in order to reduce costs, and that caused three degree burns to an old women? And that was spun as "the legal system is broken"?)

There is a concentrated effort to make CA, and especially SF, fail, as an excuse to regress. And when SF (and NYC, where there's also a similar effort) regress, the rest will follow. Just see what happened with the DA recall: since then, crime has risen, spend on policing has risen, and we jail more people unnecessarily.

Edit: ha! While I posted that, someone indeed found that number isn't the real comp. The number is $71k.
Sydney’s newspapers: the night the censors called armed officers on the press
We've decided to wait till 10th grade to give our kid a smartphone. We might get a dumb phone sooner than that if they need to call us. It's easy to see kids getting addicted to any type of screen - TV, laptops, etc. Having a phone with them all the time seems like a terrible idea.
One friend I knew in college did the math and realized he could buy a really nice SLR and tripod for the cost of his textbooks one semester. He bought the camera, tripod, and books. Then he spent an evening each semester photographing all the pages of all the books, then returned all of the books.
FYI they did sell the Volt in Australia as the Holden Volt between 2012 and 2015, they only sold 246 in that whole time though, so not a lot of choice out there on the second hand market.

The closest thing in a new car will probably be the Mazda MX30 R.EV hybrid coming to Australia in 2024, which is primarily electric drivetrain but uses a small petrol rotary engine to charger batteries as a range extender, but that is a very niche vehicle and the rotary engine isn't particularly fuel efficient on petrol use, but it is small and lightweight compared to a piston engine.

Nissans Qashqai and X-Trail hybrids also use a primarily electric drivetrain with the petrol motor only providing power to the electric drivetrain, similar but not quite the same thing as the motor is in use a lot of the time.
Keep in mind that figure includes health insurance, retirement contributions, payroll taxes, etc. They might only be making $100k per year, which is nice but not enough to ball out in SF
the current state of all smart home drives me mad. Why does my thermostat have to reach out to a cloud service to change the temperature?

I already do it for free. $200k to be able to hang out outside with a pooper scooper all day sounds like paradise.
Thanks for the tip. Didn't know these were a thing. Have you done any research into them? It seems like with these sorts of ventures a lowly techie like myself doesn't have a lot of ways to validate if what they say in their marketing is actually true.

The uptime is a pretty strong signal tho.
What kind of home did he get for 100 million?
This is a bit misleading on purpose. The city reports the total cost of the role, not the pay.

Many tech roles total cost is more than 1.5x-2x their salaries.

If you honestly think sweden has a “10x death rate” I think you are badly misinformed. That sounds not believable at all. Just like the “1 out of 4 (no wait, 10) people suffer from long covid”

10x the death rate is a huge difference. You’d be seeing mass death, far more than anywhere else. It would be extremely visible.

Every ounce of data generated for covid was highly politically motivated and extremely biased. It should all be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Fair point, but those jobs are also just one admin change away from someone changing the pay to a more realistic rate of 20 something an hour.
> It's fundamentally different in scale.

yes, it is. But this increase in scale is going to be something that produces progress (ala, cheap imitations of good styles that already exist). And with unprecedented amount of "generated" works, originality is going to be highly sought after, and those who do produce original content will be capable of succeeding.

And yet, once they succeed, they cannot rest on their laurels as the AI will be very quick to reproduce that "originality" - therefore, forcing the artists/creatives to continuously come out with highly original works all the time.
That surely will have local repercussions, I don’t see how it couldn’t. The tax revenue and local spend changes have to be hammering local business.
As with previous articles from this source[1], this article contains misleading editorializations: the "pooper scooper" compensation number includes the government's retirement and insurance obligations, and doesn't reflect anywhere close to actual take-home pay[2].

I'm not a SF resident, and have no particular loyalty to it (or any particular interest in defending its municipal policies). But the author (and publication at large) seem to be interested primarily in gleeful portrayals of SF's collapse, with factuality as a distant concern.

Definitely not downtown but there are many nice pockets for families.
For me, the modern war on dogs is that I can only walk my dog in my neighborhood (I live near the beach), before 7am and after 6pm. I get it, there are plenty of bad dog owners. It is still just a bummer that a few bad seeds ruin the fun for everyone else.
That number, of course, is made up. The real paycheck for the scoopers is ~$71k:

"As members of the city's "Poop Patrol," workers are entitled to $71,760 a year, plus an additional $112,918 in benefits, such as healthcare and retirement savings, the San Francisco Chronicle reported." (https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-poop-patrol-em...)

Want to reduce that cost further? Nationalize health care and increase social security.
Which area? I lived in Mission bay for 5 years.
$71k (see https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-poop-patrol-em...)
That's covered by DSNY's mandate. However, most waste on sidewalks in NYC is from pets, not humans (this doesn't make it better, obviously).
I dunno, the previous keyword seemed pretty neat to me.
I was also confused by the lack of mention of the author's name -- it's a very odd omission.

Is it though? The homes themselves do depreciate (nobody wants a 1970s house with no aircon that hasn't been repaired or renovated), it's just that the price of the land which the house is situated on increases faster, because it's not like the land loses any value from having somebody live there.

The more people move into an area, the more demand there is for that land, so the more its price increases. The only reason you'd expect the price to decrease would be because people don't want to move there anymore because of new areas that are more desirable or something negatively impacts the desirability of the area.
based on the salary I kind of assumed that was part if it... come to think of it Ive technically picked up more human turds than dog turds on my hobbiest-level neighborhood cleanup efforts in the wider bay area... but Ive spent infinitely more time and energy cleaning up garbage and abandoned furniture from encampments... :shrug:
If you own a home, and it goes up in "value" 50%, and then back down without you ever selling, does that mean you "lost" that 50%?
>Current problem is that the responses typically range from cynical to way too enthusiastic.

Interesting, this sounds like it could be solved with sentiment analysis.

Is your critique of the current system or the idea in general?

Would you feel the same way if the voluntary markets became less voluntary with a true carbon tax?

The companies on that list capture carbon dioxide from the air as a service for money, and they would not exist or be scaling their operations without demand.
Ah, thank you. We had theory classes with automata and reductions and complexity proofs, and then algorithms classes that covered some solving techniques. I think I mixed up Formal Methods with Theory.
This article convinced me to give CNN another chance, after being disgusted with it under Zucker.

IMO the USA does need an honest, unbiased news organization. If CNN can be it, then more power to them.
Because I use it on my phone?

These days it's often being used on phone distros that have nothing to do with Ubuntu (PureOS, Mobian, postmarketOS, Fedora, Arch...). I have like six or seven apps installed via Flatpak, and about a hundred via regular repos. I'm glad Flatpak exists as it enables some use cases that wouldn't be possible otherwise, but let's not pretend that its disk usage is not a PITA (the way it handles updates is super annoying too, you never know how much free space you actually need to have available for it to succeed).
> It's a great workout!

It really is, contrary to popular belief. Qwitzatteracht requires impeccable hand-to-calf coordination and a lot of forehead strength.
My main laptop uses Linux Mint. I've had to install flatpaks instead of the shipped .deb versions twice: once for imagemagick because the distros version is older and doesnt support some specific flag/function and the other LibreOffice for a similar reason.

I do software dev for a living. But as a desktop user, nowadays I couldn't care less for the circus and crazy things my OS does in the background. I just want functionality and things to work. I've also got terabytes of disk, MBps of bandwidth and 32GB of ram, so I dont really care if a library is repeated 50 times in my OS. I just want shit to work.

Flatpak, AppImage or .deb, I dont really care as long as I can achieve what I need to do.

And yes, I'm a developer and am generally lazy. That's why I love doing automation

Long covid may be tied to the high levels of COVID spike protein (i.e., body never clears out the virus). It is also known that ivermectin binds to Covid spike protein.
