> It is somewhat tiring but Gergely Orosz continuously makes the naive mistake of citing the company values as a critique of their behaviour.

Orosz being Naive or not, there is a contrast to what Reid Hoffman and Netflix have been advocating. Hoffman advocated that a company and its employees form an alliance. When their values deviate, they depart. Netflix advocated something similar using the professional sports team as an analogy. Companies are not families. Companies are not there to "take care of" people. At least to me, the Hoffman and Netflix are more practical and more honest.

Truly, a very small number of real servers, just enough for blue/green deployments and so you can stay up if any one server goes offline, meets any plausible needs for a really, really high percentage of businesses & products. A ton of early-stage ones can get away with skipping most of that and just run on one or two servers, period, for quite a while.

If you're outsourcing operations to AWS or whomever, a couple largish instances and a couple supporting services can get you pretty much that same thing, for a bit more money and a bit less control over performance-consistency.

All that HA/scaling/clustering/cloud stuff is expensive, not just in monetary terms, but in performance terms. If you don't actually need it, a high percentage of your compute & (especially) your network traffic may be going to that, rather than actually serving the product. It also adds a hell of a lot of complexity, which comes at a significant time-cost for development, unless you want your defect rate to shoot up.

> But if more developers just learned how to make a website on linux, with a db, a webserver, and an application.

And hell, nothing's stopping you from writing 12-factor apps and deploying containers, and scripting your server set-up and config, even if you don't go straight for heavy, "scalable" architecture. Even if your server's a beige Linux box in a closet. Enough benefits that the effort's probably a wash at worst (hey, documentation you can execute is the best documentation!) even if you never need to switch architectures, and then you'll have a relatively easy time of it, if you do end up needing to.
AFAIK, I think it depends on where in the body, vasoconstriction in the head vasodilation for the rest of the body.
A long time ago there used to be a "Schones-Wochenende" ("have a good weekend") ticket that you could just buy from the machines, and would allow you unlimited use of regional and interregional (no intercity high speed) trains throughout Germany for one weekend, and upto 5 people on one ticket, for a stupidly low price of something like 30 euros, and you could also sell it to someone else for the remainder of the weekend.

I don't know if they do that anymore?
I don’t think it’s a reasonable expectation for a language model to evaluate arbitrary code.
I really miss print. To the extent that if a press clipping service was to take the kind of blog posts and articles that appear on HN, print, bind them and ship them to me, I would sign up. There's something about being able to browse and engage with print that is superior to screens.

Now get off my lawn, you young whippersnappers!
> nonexistent "problem solving related to binary"

Are you joking? Without understanding binary, you can't understand:

- Numeric types, which numbers can be represented exactly, their failure modes, etc.

- Bit-field flags, e.g. for enums

- IP address masks and other bitmasks

- Anything at all about modern cryptography

- Anything at all about data compression

- The various ways color is represented in images

- Any custom binary format, MIDI, USB, anything low-level at all

Honestly the list goes on and on. It's absolutely insane to me to hear people say that you can be a competent software engineer without understanding binary.
I am not a Google employee so I don't know the details. As far as I'm aware they never said "you're fully remote now don't worry about coming back to the office" and now are reneging. If they said that and are reneging then I guess I understand the frustration a lot more and agree people have grounds to feel slighted. Still I think the best recourse is a direct conversation with your manager rather than trying to convince everyone on HN that fully-remote is the only reasonable stance one can take in the software engineering field (royal you, here, not specifically directed at you).
Much more practical, and yes the improvement is small especially in not so cold countries
Meh I think I’m done with THC. You’ll always find plenty of enthusiasm and love everywhere for it, but then I never really met or talked to a single person who didn’t eventually became conflicted about it and concluded the negatives far outweigh whatever you get out of it.

I wonder though, about a 100 years ago, when weed was criminalised, it wasn’t just made illegal - people went out of their way to destroy and get rid of every single hemp plant they could find in nature. Across the whole globe no less. That’s quite a statement. Maybe that’s bound to happen again.

Pick your battles. First you don't want to be sick/die/cause your elder relative to die by infecting them. Then once you are not dead you don't want to get into your body substances that clearly have no business being there and can make you sick slower and less noticeably.

I'm guessing you would want to run a filter/wear a mask if there's a good reason and not do it when there isn't.
On the first subject, you are demonstrating likely intent from the private prison company so I wouldn't call it fallacious. On the second point, There has always been pressure from public health organizations to vaccinate at least healthcare workers. What has changed recently is the push to get EG public transportation workers vaccinated specifically for COVID. I don't think there's widespread support for that after the way everything went down.

The thing I think you're missing is that I'm not making the point there is never any ill intent from the people involved. Rather, you have to show intent in each case for the slippery slope to apply. In the case of private prisons it's pretty obvious that the organizations involved would like everyone to be incarcerated because there's a pretty clear income stream they can derive from incarcerated persons.

The other thing about "excesses of policy frameworks" is that there will always be excesses no matter which side you err on. What matters is the specific situation and the specific excesses and whether they were intentional or not.

I think in discussion we have to stick to specifics or we risk painting each other with a really broad brush. If you were to engage on a case-by-case basis I would probably say yes or no to slippery slope being a fallacy. Suggesting at the top that I think all applications of slippery slope are fallacious is painting with a broad brush a statement I made about the specific situation.

To bring it back to the original argument(and to paraphrase), I believe that going from "A woman in Tacoma who has been spreading TB and has been refusing reasonable requests to get treatment and to quarantine is being imprisoned" to "public health wants to throw us in the health gulag whenever we're sick and we don't immediately quarantine" seems like a stretch, and there's no evidence of the latter from the former or from any expressed or implied opinions that I've heard. So yes you need more evidence for that slippery slope argument for it not to be fallacious.
> What incentive does the person reviewing the footage have to admit to a false positive

I'd expect it to run like current traffic cameras (at least, the ones in my locality). Fully automatic, you get a ticket in the mail, nobody ever reviews it for accuracy, unless you contest it. Then they usually drop it, though it could end up in traffic court for a judge to look at. Also, our automated ticketing systems generally only use fines as punishment, there's some kind of state law that says you cannot be personally assigned a moving violation unless you were stopped by an actual cop in real time.

Depends where you buy it.

The 49€ ticket is to be precise not a ticket.

But a regulations stating that transport providers have to provide tickets for the cost of 49€ valid all across Germany (very strongly oversimplified).

This means there are many places selling this ticket which only are the same in where it's valid, how much it costs, and how it can be validate by any arbitrary public train service.

So some providers sell chip plastic cards with a NFC chip in them and some ID+Name+Date printed on it which get shipped to you.

Other provider only sell it through the App using your phones NFC chip or (I think, not sure) QR as fallback.

Similar some might only accept SEPA payment mandates (i.e. implicitly require and EU bank account) and require you to have an German address to ship the card to. Other require SEPA and hand it to you personally not caring about an address in Germany and others might accept Google Pay, Apple Pay or Paypal and are online only.

While this sounds bad, for most German people this is a complete non issue as they just buy it form the same transportation provider they used before using the same payment method they where using before. (The reason this works technically is because there already was a system for validating tickets valid in the transport net of one provider issued by another, most commonly DB long distance tickets also covering public transportation around the time of arrival/departure).
Could you say more? I agree an Apple VR headset has been in the works for longer than 2 years, but is it that crazy that they were working on multiple approaches and didn't settle on a final design until after 8/2021, which included using some non-trivial ideas from that paper?
That is the only correct answer.

It's a lot more complicated than that.

And I will note that I drink a lot of tea and fruit juice, which also come in plastic bottles. Most drinks come in plastic or metal containers these days. Most of the time, I buy mine in plastic containers.

I wish it were different and I've lived without a car for more than a decade in the US. Try advocating for a less car dependent infrastructure in the US. It gets you mostly pissed on.

Individuals have limits on how much they can control given the larger context of the world they live in. Attacking my consumption of cola drinks as the focus willfully ignores my real point that styrofoam food containers are dramatically worse than plastic bottles.
Google also takes a 30% cut on apps. Microsoft takes 15% on Windows apps. Would that mean that Google and Microsoft are doing the same thing?

And while Apple does require Google and Microsoft to use WebKit for their iOS browser apps, it's a rendering engine. And you can set Chrome/Edge as defaults on both iOS and macOS.

Tell me how this limits real browser choice.

I started seing politics the same way: lol don't care. I used to consume loads political news, followed the developments within the national parties, tried to understand in good faith the reasoning behind various positions.

You know what? None of this matters. Nothing I'll ever do, say, think, will ever convince a politician of anything. I have 0, zilch, none whatsoever influence on politics, regional, state, national, supranational.

Public politics is for show only. The real deals are done behind closed doors. I don't need these people, and they don't need me (except my money, of course).
While the displays are significant areas of power draw, for this product I don't think they're the low-hanging fruit. This is a device that's performing a whole bunch of computation in real time: video, lidar, infrared, eye tracking, and then it has to drive two 4K+ displays, one for each eye, with 3D-accelerated content being rendered at all times.

Go to an AR web page on your phone and start playing around with 3D objects in your space and you'll notice your phone getting significantly warmer and drawing more power. The Vision Pro is doing this literally all the time.

Also, the camera and sensor work that is tracking your eyes has to happen whether or not there is an outward-facing display.

Apple makes a watch with a display that is always on, and their phones have high resolution OLEDs that can stay on for over 13 hours (iPhone 14 Pro Max 150 nits brightness doing continuous 5G web browsing).

IMO ECS is in a weird position right now, because:

1 - It's simpler thank K8s, but not that much simpler than your avg managed K8s offering

2 - It really locks you in the AWS ecosystem

3 - It is way less used than K8s or just running things on servers, so there are way less help / learning resources

I really don't see how using ECS is much better than EC2 + compose for small setups and this post didn't provide many good arguments to convince me.
Very little "rubber" is actual natural latex rubber. Balloons, certain hose, and some gloves are natural latex, as are about 40% of the material in tires. The rest is synthetic elastomer. EPDM and Buna-N/nitrile are probably the most common.

Teflon is not rubber, but viton is fluorinated elastomer, and it's used everywhere as well.

The idea that tokens found closest to the centroid are those that have moved the least from their initialisations during their training (because whatever it was that caused them to be tokens was curated out of their training corpus) was originally suggested to us by Stuart Armstrong. He suggested we might be seeing something analogous to "divide-by-zero" errors with these glitches. However, we've ruled that out.

The counting Reddit usernames are clearly a major source of glitch tokens, there's something about that sub that screws up the model, maybe the unusually predictable/repetitive nature of what goes on there or the sheer obsessiveness of the posters.

The fact that the only non-counting Reddit usernames are both people at the center of massive Bitcoin psychodramas is suggestive however, especially given the associations with the petertodd token. My guess is that these names appear much more frequently in other people's posts than is normal for forum usernames (especially if it read bitcointalk.org and twitter too), and that maybe this has some effect.

To get an idea of just how frequently this token will crop up in the reddit corpus, just do a search for it:

https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=%22petertodd%22&sort=commen...

I'm not sure how many posts match but you can keep scrolling a long time.

Having been more exposed than normal to what happened back then I wasn't hugely surprised by what concepts clustered there, and sadly don't think it's actually random or unexplainable. Flick through discussions pre-2015 (when the Bitcoin forums started to be heavily censored) and you'll see a lot of very similar words as what GPT spits out being used in connection.
