I've been a hiring manager for a long time now and have always gotten more solid candidates than I could possibly interview. To address that I've built an AI agent to interview applicants (primarily the initial phone screen). The agents are trained based on the role you're hiring for, the candidate's resume, and the attributes required to succeed in the role.

Of course businesses want to do that. As I said the issue was how much the premium was going to be. 50% versus 10,000% makes all the difference.
Negative income tax is an alternative to UBI, but it's discussed less often. Does anyone know why? I feel it should be easier to implement (plugs right into the existing tax system), should be cheaper (the more you earn, the less you get), and feels more in line with the progressive tax system, whereas UBI feels like an extremely coarse first approximation.

Essentially, the tax curve starts at 0 and goes up. Why not shift it down? There's nothing special about 0.
The rehab is just the first step of a successful housing first solution. The homeless should not be given homes until they are sobor. Once the rehab is complete they get housing as long as they stay sobor. If they can't they get imprisoned.
Unfortunately I don't have the mathematical skill to answer these questions!

It might be worth looking at the original papers - quite readable, I understand - to see how they constructed the proof that their tiles are aperiodic. After all, you cannot just try to construct a large number of tilings and claim aperiodicity.

I would imagine (although I could be wrong) that you get an infinite number of copies of each rotation of the tile. My impression would also be that there are only a small finite number of rotations. So it is less about the rotations than the local structure around each tile not repeating, no mater how large a radius you give for your neighbourhood.

Like I say, I'm not good enough with this stuff to give a clear explanation here, sadly.
Well, that barely covers the rent for a bedsit in London.

Better deal if you get shortlisted for council housing, and then you take the 1600 quid, that would be alright.
I don't think it's right to conclude "your private repo data will be used to train GPT" based on the text you linked to there.
I don't understand the obsession with EV range. 99% of people just need enough range to get to work and back. Even if you wanted to take a road trip (increasingly uncommon as plane tickets get cheaper) you only need enough range for a day's worth of driving, since you'll need to stop to sleep/eat/bathroom at some point which gives you the opportunity to fast charge.

Even if that were true, baked-in reasoning is still reasoning. A simple state machine can be intelligent as well if you go by definition.
A classic style maxim: never use a word if a shorter, more common word exists which means the same thing.

The canonical example is "utilize", rather than "use". Like most violations of this maxim, utilize came about thanks to bureaucratic Official Style.

If there was a second contender for canonical example, it would have to be the use of "trial" as a verb.
There are not one but TWO perfectly good words, both shorter than "trial", which cover its entire usage as a verb: "try" and "test". In fact, "trial" is the NOUN FORM of "try". And now they've converted it into a new verb form rather than just using the original verb?

That sentence is explicitly with respect to privacy, it does not negate aggregate oppression trends. A lack of privacy opens new doors for oppression, and that harms everyone is more my point. Many people here, if you read the thread entirely, think the status quo is a constant.
About 5 years ago, I set up a Mastodon instance in a DigitalOcean VPN, for me and some friends.

It never really caught up; I have been occasionally upgrading but almost never used it. A few days ago I finally put some effort to follow interesting accounts.

The ability to control what I see (e.g. exclude boosts, no personalized timeline etc.) made me realize how much more engaging it was compared to, let's say, Twitter. It was pretty refreshing to see a no-nonsense timeline and to be able to tailor the interface to my needs (I used the 3-column layout).

I haven't been on Twitter for a while, but I think I'll give Mastodon a try as a replacement.
We could just do a negative income tax, which achieves the same thing and is substantially cheaper in terms of bureaucratic costs than traditional welfare programs and is also much cheaper than UBI.

I think you need to pair UBI with public housing, public health care and ideally a nice sack of healthy groceries delivered to your door every week. Provide a baseline of dignified living for all.

Our economy is not currently structured to support this, but I don't see any other options for the future. It's also quite a nice step forward in humanity to use our technology to increase everyone's quality of life.

I personally believe MMT is an option to make this happen. Print money to basically zero out all debt with inflation but provide everything someone needs to live while you do it. The first step on the path to a post-scarcity reality.
1. Ignoring the Power of Collaboration
In this pitfall, companies fall prey to the 'silo mentality,' where teams operate independently, resulting in disjointed product development.

To avoid this pitfall:

Encourage interdepartmental communication: Promote a culture of knowledge sharing between teams.

Implement collaborative tools: Use project management tools to facilitate collaboration.

Regular team meetings: Organize consistent cross-departmental meetings to maintain alignment.
Web servers have always had to be written for the web clients that existed, not how they should have existed.

Sadly, a 100%-compliant web server (or client for that matter) would be greatly hobbled as to who it could communicate with on the real web. Although I do think the situation is far better now than it was 20 years ago.
If it were illegal to build more housing (which is unfortunately practically is in some NIMBY areas), prices might increase, yes…

But if we fix zoning issues then supply should eventually catch up to meet the increased demand and prices should more or less be stable.

I wouldn’t expect e.g. web hosting to increase in price if there were a UBI, as there’s plenty of competition and it is not in any way supply constrained.
Alas, no.

There are a lot of parallels with modern hardscape construction. Nowadays many builders grade the soil base, add a woven stabilization fabric, then add clean angular stone, and finish with a finer angular stone on top. I wonder if railroads are using any geotextile fabric under their stone these days.
Expansion gaps limit the speed the trains can run at.
Exactly.

If your concern is code health, a compile-time dependency works great.

If your concern is resource management, then you need a runtime dependency.

The premium we're talking about is on the order of 100 million dollars. Is that what it costs to defend against cyberattacks? They certainly haven't increased their payroll anywhere near that much. I doubt the hardware has changed much if at all.
And who also has a modest vested interest in Amazon's/Google's competitor.

I agree that eventually Ukraine would be paying in some manner, as obviously western support (as any other support) comes with strings attached. But the discussion is over getting paid in the current time rather than an indefinite point in the future whenever the war finally ends and Ukraine finds enough stability to be able to begin paying back in some way. Governments can afford that kind of wait, private companies cannot.

After all, the west isn't expecting its military industrial complex to provide support/make ammunition by telling them to wait for Ukraine to pay when it wins the war.
Personalized therapy might possibly not work for a really long time. Consider each drug to be a code change at heart of the most critical code running the code of your body. Clinical trials are the integration testing and ab testing equivalent of making sure this change doesn't have side effects. Personalized therapy means you have no way of testing in a comparable system. Unless you're gonna clone babies of yourself give them the same cancer and see if it treats them and doesn't kill them (and then pull a Prestige)
The answers to this vary from public housing options to rent control to guillotines.
As legendary as it is overstated.

It's excellent for many common software, but for most specialty software, it's often lacking. Despite all the decades of cruft still supported by current Windows, especially 32 bit editions, there are still tons and tons of XPs and Server 2008s and NT boxes in the wild just to support software that would otherwise break.
I think this is just a matter of technology getting better even if needs remain the same? Like, sure no one needs that, but if that’s where we wind up, no one will be complaining about it. And I’m sure the anti-EV crowd would manage to move the goalpost to make even those feel inadequate to their needs.
I’m paying for my service and also covering monthly cost for a terminal that I donated to friends who are in military now fighting. I also know lots of volunteers who do the same. So its strange to read here comments that ukrainians got their service for free.

The kind of entitlement in the article title is so off-putting. Every time I read an article about the “distribution” and “packaging” situation on Linux, I come away happy I don’t target desktop users on that platform via a native app. I’m very happy to have the browser runtime between me and Linux desktop software stacks. I’ve seen plenty of complaining about NPM, go dep, and other language package managers, but I’d much rather be able to pick and lock my dependencies than have them semi-randomly assigned by myriad vendor teams. If I did have to target Linux desktop, I would only use Flatpak, fully static binaries, or similar, and be very happy to have a container boundary etc that allows me to pin my dependencies.
I genuinely don't see how "The information we learn only comes from aggregated data" relates to training LLMs, which need raw data, not aggregated data, as their input.

Maybe we have different definitions of the term "aggregated"?

This suggests to me that GitHub need to extend that text to explain what they mean by "aggregated".
It's one thing to make a guess; it's another for them to tell you.

I think the argument is that if you give people UBI, some people will work more.

But it's a one dimensional view of a many dimensional problem. Some people will be able to start a business, but if UBI is pitched at comfortable survival level, many more will do nothing, and there will be a big increase in employee turnover.

The rational solution would be to pay much more and improve conditions, so the rewards for work would be much higher than now, and the pointless frustrations much lower.

But current work environments are usually geared towards creating and maintaining hierarchy, not rational effectiveness.

So I think it's likely that UBI would just raise prices of essentials and they wouldn't be any more affordable than they are now.
You might be right, but I have seen no reliable information to support this. I have seen references to double the price, but nothing about 10x. Could you provide references please?

However, SpaceX has apparently been doing a lot of firmware support to help Ukraine to deal with EW signals, so some level of premium is likely justified.

This doesn’t make sense. A good portion of your engagement is going to come from people who are familiar with you, whether they be friends or “followers”. A ton of my old high school friends(accounts must be 10-15 years old now) still post on FB, to my surprise, as they start families or new jobs or whatnot.

On top of this, it is much more likely that a new account or follower is a bot nowadays.
Interesting and promising seeming strategy to counter not only issues of 'peer pressure to own a device' but 'culture pressure' wherein assumedly for many schools most of the topics of humor and interest are quite online.

A couple of issue to highlight though - Internet memes and content can be reach crazy levels of salient and funny though, and in appropriate amounts, seems life enriching and sometimes contributory to consciousness and self-awareness no?

Additionally, a purely suppressive approach creates a fairly big incentive for kids/guardians to exploit the informational asymmetry of the system using clandestine/contraband access.

For this I propose community provided memes. As chosen by Birdwatch style-voting.

ChatGPT is hot news.
Professor wants in on the action.
He and his grad-student come up with a thesis.
Then they cherry-pick evidence supporting the thesis and concoct a catchy headline that makes it to hacker news.
I agree completely. I've ranted on this a bit on HN before but in many ways the Raspberry Pi is a victim of its own success. It more or less became the "jack of all trades master of none" for a staggering variety of projects and applications - even when it is far from the best approach. I personally cringe when I see people trying to string together a bunch of drives on a shared USB bus for a NAS application, or trying to hack something around the single lane of PCIe or whatever... When by the time you get to kludging that together you could have bought a small used NAS with drive bays for equivalent or less cost that would be at least an order of magnitude faster and significantly more reliable.

That said "you do you" and if you want to (poorly) run a bunch of stuff on a half-dozen Rasperry Pis (or whatever) then more power to you.

On the flipside of this, the wide ranging and very robust Raspberry Pi ecosystem kicked off a surge of people self hosting all kinds of applications and getting people to leave cloud services. For whatever reasons the "look for a thin client on eBay" approach was never going to kick off the explosion of these self-hosting options and projects. So we should all be very thankful of the Raspberry Pi for that.

I'm glad that with the shortage people were forced to re-evaluate some of these approaches and projects to realize things like "Oh, this $100 used Intel XYZ is 20x faster and still low power enough to not mean anything".

With the launch of Willow and the Willow Inference Server I'm learning a lot about how people self-host and the variety is staggering. We see everything from "Well I run ABC on Pi 1, DEF on Pi 2, GHI on an old mac mini, and XYZ on an Intel NUC" to single Raspberry Pis to extremely complex Proxmox configurations. I understand a lot of this self-hosting infra grew gradually over the years but needless to say a single, cheap, reasonably powered machine can do all of that and more.
The source for your statements is Musk. As I said in other comments I'm talking about on net. If you charge 10x for 100 terminals and give 10 away for free you are not donating anything.

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

key paragraphs as tl;dr

> In a simple sense, he explained, the team's concept for an "electrostatic tractor" works a bit like rubbing a balloon on your head to make your hair stand on end. First, a servicing ship would approach a derelict satellite from a distance of about 15 to 25 meters (49 to 89 feet), then zap it with a beam of electrons. Those electrons would give the space debris a negative charge, while making the servicer more positive.

> "With that attractive force, you can essentially tug away the debris without ever touching it," Hammerl said. "It acts like what we call a virtual tether."

> It seems to work, too. Based on experiments in ECLIPS and computer models, the researchers calculate that an electrostatic tug could pull a satellite weighing several tons about 200 miles in two to three months. That's a sluggish pace, but good enough to remove what are essentially glorified paperweights from precious orbital slots.
> the data generating process (us) gave the data those properties

People in the space say that all the time, or else don't say it because they're talking with others who they know already understand that fact, rather than posting about it on HN in public.

HN feels like you have access to experts but it's often the case that experts don't have the time nor patience to teach grad-level classes in comment threads to clear up confusion. So the people who do post are either talking about something specific in a way that presumes a certain level of base knowledge or are frankly bullshitting.

There's a certain cultural heritage on HN, maybe across broad swaths of the tech world IRL, of speaking purely speculatively but phrasing it as presumed fact. I call this behavior "high-school debate club" but the more classical name for it is Dunning-Kruger. It seems to have a regrettably outsized effect on the discourse in the more influential (if still naive) echelons of tech, either as an extension of a broad blind optimism or as a way to stave off feelings of loneliness that are pervasive in these industries by appealing to and seeking approval of the prestigious community that HN is purported to be.
The shortage ruined the brand for me. Any sort of commercial product based on this cheap platform had supply issues, which caused a pivot. I had an old boss balk at me for suggesting we use Pi's back in 2013, I now see why.

Glad to see the gouging finally come to an end!
> usually more performant and overall compelling offers

True.

> compelling offers in the same form factor and upstream support to a certain degree.

But that degree matters. What SBC has the best upstream support these days? Orange? Banana? Pine? I honestly don't know, despite taking a casual interest. Also, upstream and driver support gets worse if you need a newer chipset, to support features like 4k or H.265 or USB PD or 2.5GbE. To be fair, Raspberry Pi doesn't offer the latter.
Indices, regular or generational.
Trial implies some sort of study or analysis that the other two words you suggest don't.

For what is worth, your points make total sense in a vacuum.

Lastly, I was looking forward to a very eventful next week. Again with the assumptions. Have a good one
It always surprises me how little effort we put into getting things from the lab to the people quicker.

As soon as we have compelling data some discovery (medical or otherwise) might help lots of people, it should be almost a manhattan project type effort to get it into the hands of everyone worldwide asap.
They tested six different strategies and only two-three of the strategies returned profit on this year. Even the ones that turned out profitable were only profitable within the first half of the year and provided no return during the second half of the year.

Seems similar to p-hacking.
> I personally believe MMT is an option to make this happen. Print money to basically zero out all debt with inflation but provide everything someone needs to live while you do it. The first step on the path to a post-scarcity reality.

If you do that without having a post-scarcity economy/reality, surely the result will look more like mad max and not Star Trek? Zeroing out debts would be a huge boon to the rich, although they would need to invest in guns to protect the property they no longer have to pay a mortgage for.

Cars are usually centered on the road, and the built environment has certain regular features that induce structure in the dataset of images. The same insight applies there too and GP's argument stands.

UBI is easier to understand conceptually. There could be more advantages to it though, over negative income tax, but they’re a bit difficult to discover.
What are you using these days?

Personally I switched pihole and a few other servixes to a docker container on a USFF pc. Still using a pi4 for retro games

Everyone saying 'rent in (place with high rent cost here)' will chew that down -- one of the more fascinating outcomes from UBI will be a de-centralising of population.

This 'study' has a few problems, as others have observed it doesn't warrant the U in UBI, and the 2y drop-dead timeframe will also significantly affect the outcomes, but trying to shoot this experiment in the head with 'rent in London is expensive' is to really miss the point (of both this study, and the concept of UBI).
You've compared 2 positions that command a high salary. The average American only made 60K in 2022. You could argue that the CEO faces a higher cost of living, but to the average voter, this salary is obscene.
