> Nuclear power stations are a one off.

No? You still have to replace fuel, fix mechanical issues (if they are fixable). There are turbines in nuclear plants too.
And another thing is that nuclear plants need highly competent and educated specialist workforce, and after that the very expensive decommissioning needs another specialist workforce, and so on.
Not as extreme, but garden path sentences sometimes give me a glitchy feeling in how they lure you into an parsing error that takes difficulty to overcome. For example:

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families.
The field is decades behind best practice because these systems have multi-decade operational lives.

There's an absolute chasm between implementation intervals that can be achieved through pure software systems and those with distributed hardware components. Throw in a few layers of abstraction where those designing, purchasing, installing, operating, and maintaining those components are all unrelated parties with different (and potentially conflicting) motives and any sort of cohesive systems engineering is hard.

This doesn't excuse continued irresponsibilities in product security, because they absolute exist, but "impressively fragile yet surprisingly functional" is a completely logical Nash equilibrium to settle on given the surrounding non-technical components.
But the payroll savings compared to hiring 10-20% more people are much more solid and measurable.
"but buying things on the internet wasn't laughed at"

It was definitely laughed at by people like travel agents - remember them? I can remember discussing it with people in the travel industry around '94 and '95 and they literally laughed at the idea of people arranging travel online.
Believing (and preaching) is easy. Some tangible evidence is harder.
I'm curious about the approach you took to achieve that. I've made several attempts to switch to drinking solely water, but I struggle with its plain taste. Could you provide more details?
Mid-thirties here.

Normally I think of them as unnecessary ceremony, but in my current project they just sort of happen in-between and I'm happy that they do, because my manager is simply good at his job and takes care of any blockers that might be there.

But if I got a person visibly younger than me trying to "coach" me on life and productivity again or any woo of this sort, I would decline these meetings entirely and perhaps both me and the company could have another go at evaluating whether I'm a "cultural fit".
Which alternatives are you thinking of?
In Brooklyn a couple of decades ago (1990s/2000s), I saw a very large pack of dogs roaming one of its business districts (I cannot remember where…)

It was 3:00 AM so there was no human activity, and seeing 20+ dogs 5 to 6 blocks running around even while in a car was unnerving.
I'm just appalled that these people continue to provide free labour to Reddit and that Reddit encourages this arrangement.

The "dang" model where the moderators get paid a salary for their work seems the only reasonable and fair way to go.

Having mods work for free is effectively a form of psychological abuse, taking advantage of people's social media addiction for corporate benefit.
> * In-person is much better if you don't know what you need to build, are trying to "figure it out as you go along", and are relying on the implicit fast feedback loop of standing next to each other.

Beyond the practical scope of this point, we also find the need for mentoring (building a sustainable team).
This is long solved
> Their VR "visions" differ but only at the margin. No matter how you execute it, we are talking about people (homo sapiens) putting a major something on their heads that dramatically takes over their visual field for the pursuit of... what exactly? That is the puzzle.

I definitely think VR/AR is the next big think, but not via headsets, but via holograms or whatever it takes to get rid of physical screens and mouses (peripherals in general). You tell me I can have a huge 4K "hologram screen" projecting whatever is on my phone by just clicking a button? I'm sold. I mean, why would I read HN on my tiny phone if I can read it in a 13inch hologram display being projected from my wrist while I'm on the bus? Or a 30inch display when I'm on my couch? Same for whatever you do on the internet.

What Apple has showned us in the demo is the future... but not with headsets (if I go to the supermarket to buy milk, I'm not taking my headset, if I go to the bathroom I'm not taking my headset, if I'm taking the public transportation I'm not taking my headset).

You may think "high definition holograms" are just too sci-fi, but I don't think so. In any case, headsets are just too clumsy. Perhaps Apple's v2 for their headsets becomes just some glasses ala Google glass? In that case I don't know, maybe that gets traction if implemented correctly.

Trying to attribute intelligent intent where there is none. ChatGPT just puts tokens in order, following amalgamated examples it has seen.

When it screws up, we call it a hallucination. With careful prompting, you can get it to screw up in a way that works.

Color me unimpressed.
They aren't in any root programs. They're just taking certificate requests and relaying them to real CAs, which is why they need to exploit an RCE in the ACME client, since the ACME client wouldn't otherwise be able to complete the validations required by the actual CA.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It's an existential risk.
This is broken at the most fundamental tokenization Level and implies shoddy workmanship.

You won't find people exposing the flaws, weaknesses and bias of openai in published papers (especially since microsoft bought them) so Twitter is the best we have
The sub CA is operated by ssl.com, not HiCA (which is not a trusted certificate authority). HiCA is relaying the certificate requests to ssl.com, which is properly validating the requests in accordance with all the requirements. ssl.com isn't doing anything wrong. That's why HiCA needs to exploit an RCE in acme.sh - ACME doesn't support relaying certificate requests to other CAs like this.
Normally I agree, but the differences were particularly stark. After a couple of years the top junior performers were almost all in-person. They were more self sufficient, more likely to still be working at the company, generally made the products they worked on more successful, etc. There were certainly exceptions, but the trend became fairly clear even to remote work advocates. I think that's why we had so few objections to RTO -- even folks who quit over it admitted it was the right choice for our company.

I'd wager better remote processes and culture could have shrunk the gap, and I'm happy so many companies are doing that well, it just didn't work for our company.
Good.

I’ve never been an active Redditor, but there are people discussing my open source software on Reddit, so I’ve answered questions there on a good number of occasions.

That my informative and completely rule-abiding posts can be made unavailable at the whim of some community mods while the site is still alive feels like a betrayal. These mods don’t own my posts. No complaint if Reddit goes the way of Digg and takes everything with it.
That's certainly true but sitting for three hours is better than either.
I get that you want to protest but I don’t like the idea of destroying information permanently that might not be available elsewhere, it’s really frustrating when you find a comment that seemed to give you the solution to the problem exact problem you have but it got deleted. Is there a less destructive way to do this?
If artificial sweeteners are so well studied as you claim then why sucralose was found to damage DNA while erythritol was linked to heart attacks in studies just this year?

I think I can manage myself well enough and when I need his help or vice versa, I just schedule an hour together.

A lot of people don't do this, and your manager has no way of knowing whether you will or not. Some devs will just sit and be unhappy for months and then leave. Your manager is trying to do better and give you an opportunity to proactively raise things. Maybe he also wants to make sure you know about changes ahead of time. These are positives.

I have monthly 1-2-1s with my boss, and I check in weekly with my team. Those meetings are scheduled for about an hour, but if everything is fine we just end the meeting after 2 minutes.

It works pretty well.
Why exactly would it be crazy? A few mods taking a community of half a billion hostages is not crazy?

If I were spez I would simply disable the ability to make new subreddits private.

This protest is not for the greater good, it's harming half a billion users for the benefit (actually, for no benefit since nothing will come out of it) of the 3% that want to not see ads and use the 3rd party apps.
This is a useful resource, but it is a pity that the Icelandic originals are in a spelling based on Modern Icelandic, not the standard used in Old Norse scholarship. For example, writing the nominative singular ending -r as -ur, and the letter ö for a certain low vowel instead of ǫ.

Consequently, anyone learning Old Norse from a textbook published in the last century will have some mental conversion to deal with when using this site.
For the significant portion of users that spend $2k on a macbook and then use it as a webbrowser 99% of the time I think this could work great.
Weekly is too frequent (micro-managing), bi-weekly is way more balanced. Also they should not be stretched to one hour, they should cover only the things you both have to say and then ended.
>When you talk about not being able to analyze these based on their code do you mean because today they're all just calling out to OpenAI or whoever?

I think that the issue here is that AIs are probabilistic in nature, meaning that you can't fully predict their behavior in a particular situation just by reading the code. Instead in a tipical (non AI poweered) extension, the code is a precise description of what the extension will do in every possible situation.
Is it that these sounds cannot be faithfully reproduced or that people don't want them faithfully reproduced?

For the gunshot example specifically, my intuition is that it should be possible to fool someone into thinking a gun was fired if the signal chain from capture to speaker is designed with this goal in mind.

Basically the opposite of a movie where viewers want to be able to comfortably hear dialogue and gunshots.
You can even handwavingly "prove" using queuing theory that giving a 100% at work will always be unsatisfying; you'll never be able to meet demand during busy moments if people expect you to be at 100% effort always, on average.

It seems that the ArchiveTeam servers are overloaded. I constantly get errors like these:

It feels like there's a real dichotomy in the industry now and 1:1s are one aspect of it.

Some people enjoy frequent, active communication - daily standups, weekly 1:1s, all the Agile ceremonies. They work socially and rely heavily on collaboration to make progress as a team.

Others find frequent interruptions for all those regular meetings disruptive and unhelpful. They're comfortable working autonomously and prefer to communicate spontaneously when the need arises.

I don't think this is an introvert/extrovert thing. It's more like a process/people thing. Ironically the first group often describes itself as being Agile but it's the second group that usually is.

IMHO a team needs to pick its path and if it needs to grow then it's best to bring in others who want to follow the same path (and to discuss their style early and openly during the hiring process). The same person might thrive with the right team but be very uncomfortable and leave quickly if the culture fit isn't right.

I do not understand how is it possible that Internet browsers do not currently have already built-in firewall that allows the user to control where the connection requests in the browser in general -the tab, the loaded web, the addon- are going to and from, and filter them.
If you care about short-term profits it makes sense to ask that question, if you care about long-term profits it doesn't.

I think it's going to be very rare that over the life of a business every opportunity will be orthogonal to your existing business lines and not cannibalize them in some way.

Companies seem structurally incapable of cannibalizing existing business lines even if it barely impacts revenue because they cannot afford to report reduced growth for even a single quarter.
I agree compiler transforms sometimes do not interact well, but some still do help intrinsics.

Interestingly, even `#pragma clang unroll(4)` is ignored here. Often in such cases we have to manually unroll, e.g. introduce multiple accumulators.
I also assumed every single frame was fully painted (but also thought why, crazy effort.. why not just do it with overlays like the classic cartoonists?)

So still, impressive effort.. but still "first ever painted": What is the difference to classic cartoonists? Just the technique that we call this painting, and cartoonists just drawing, or the more complex pictures, or what else?
as an addedum, here is an article that I found well written about the equilibrium between formulaic and "freestyle" interaction with inner images: https://inthewilderless.substack.com/p/inner-wilds-alchemy-c...

This does not mean that therapists offering guidance or following a particular framework are chalatans, but it is an encouragement to avoid, as much as possible, to hammer definitions on phenomena too hard. Those frameworks exist, at least in part, because they have proven useful to some people, but none of them is "the answer".
So what's the difference between standing next to someone talking to them, and typing to them?
I agree with respect to real programmers.

For the politicians and influencers, however, on-site work is vital (especially if they are good looking or charismatic). They need meetings to shine optically and verbally and dominate the real workers.

This parasitical category of people usually has the most influence, so the move to return to on-site work is not surprising.
You are extremely naive if you think this stops at 3rd party apps.
To go a little bit further on this argument: I was dissapointed because the whole point of making this film turned out to be for nothing.

Instead of animation, it felt to me like just a live action film with a fiter. Sure, the filter in this case took many man-hours to produce, and as stills felt pretty, but there was something vital missing.

I found this hard to put into words, but here goes:

Actual animation thinks about how to present perspective, movement, character, etc. This film chose to paint over moving pictures, and in that way literally took over all the 'real' visual elements without making any choices in them. Compared to almost any anime, it feels lifeless and an under-use of the medium, IMO.
Better expected returns, from the sounds of it, since they’re not at risk of being arbitrarily sin-binned without recourse.
I think it might be the wrong reaction… Just install addons from trusted sources. Disable updates for the others.
I agree that there is a lot of commercial use of reddit that reddit fails to monetize. I have no idea how much of that is moderation, but it doesn't really matter: restricting API usage is the wrong way to solve this problem Instead, the easy fix is to update the standard ToS to be non-commercial use only and introduce paid plans for commercial use. I'm pretty confident that would be way more lucrative than advertising anyways.

Optionally, follow up with a badge or something that tags all content from commercial accounts as such, and allow users and mods to report commercial content that doesn't have such a badge.
When I ask ChatGPT about stuff I actually know about, it always gives glib, misleading and completely wrong answers. I therefore don't trust it to answer questions about stuff that I don't know much about.

> where myths are pushed as absolute truths.

My favorite myth is the one that I hear surprisingly often, from educated and intelligent people. I hear it, because I ask them why they bias for only young people; even in senior management, architectural, and mentoring roles.

They explain that young folks can do the impossible, because they haven't been told that it's impossible. It's a really compelling myth, reinforced by founders of successful unicorns, sharing it as their "secret sauce," as opposed to obsessive work, intelligence, and an enormous dollop of good luck and timing.

I call it the "Don't Look Down" Fallacy.

When Wile E. Coyote runs off the edge of a cliff, he stays up, until he looks down.

If you don't allow anyone into the team that yells "Look down!", then you can fly.

I've attempted to explore different teas before, but I always struggled with their plain taste, which eventually led me to give it up. However, your suggestion that there are more infusions than I could've tried makes me want to give it another go. Thanks.
It's kind of funny how people go through most of their life trying to rationalize going one way or the another, thinking they finally find the right way but then realizing this way has it's own problems too.

I call it the yin-yang problem for myself. I am absolutely certain people had this concept a lot earlier than the Chinese and all over the world too. But yin-yang is simple for me to remember, especially when I fall into the trap myself.

From my early teens to now in my mid forties I have been trying to find the right balance between: 1) having strong values/principles, not accepting people or at least people's behaviors that I consider below my standards and 2) not being a fucking holier-than-though for whom nobody and nothing is good enough. And this is not a purely intellectual pursuit either, I have been burned by going either direction in ways that impacted my quality of life.

Religion and philosophy has handled this a long time ago. But my upbringing and education have been completely secular. Religion and philosophy where laughed at and turned into the straw man variants of "yeah, right, there's an old guy with a beard on a cloud". And now, no matter how hard I try to forcefully inject yin-yang into my rational mind it doesn't take roots. I think reason is not a good soil for it. And think it's way to late to incorporate it into other parts of my personality.

I said it's funny because, like in the medium post, you find out you need yin-yang to learn yin-yang. And because going with a complete rational and secular education I am of course far from the balance line. Fucking yin-yang, the original catch-22 which keeps fucking me up.
But should we have a replacement for reddit..?

I think we had the model right before the concept of social media came along, which is many small independent communities.
How would that lead to any kind of discussion? With this logic, everybody would ignore things they disagree with and only comment on things they agree with. Maybe I misunderstood the comment.
What brands are you buying from that change models every year??
Laugh Along with GNU – GNU Humor
LD50 should be taken with a huge grain of salt for any compound. First of all LD50 is just the dose required to kill half the subjects within some short time frame. Long term toxicity is not captured by this number. And doses well below LD50 can still kill you.

Also, because you can't overdose humans with drugs until half of them die(in most jurisdictions...), the number is pretty much always based on animal experiments. And it's quite typical for some things to be wildly more toxic in certain species than in others.

Crucially, a dose of 1g/kg has never been tested in humans in the short or long term.

I'd be very hesitant to say that 1g/kg is unlikely to kill a human being based on LD50 being 5g/kg. It could very well have an unacceptably high risk of death, or long term toxicity.

Also, please don't make statements like this based on LD50 unless you're absolutely sure. Someone who understands even less about it might look at it and thnk "this guy seems to know his stuff", and then do something stupid.

Probably the same reasons that the vast majority of software engineers don’t read anything about how to be good engineers, the majority of welders don’t read anything about welding, the majority of baristas don’t read anything about coffee making, and the majority of people working in fields with continuing education requirements hit the legal minimum on the nose.
