It's doubtful that farmers care about you in particular. However, in general, the societal benefit should be like a loan, like insurance, or both, depending on what it is.

Loans are useful and necessary because businesses need to buy things before they get paid. It can't all be done using Kickstarter! Farming works this way.

Insurance is useful because you get paid when something bad happens to you. On a day when you're glad that you had insurance, it means someone else lost a bet.

Buying insurance you don't actually need is kind of dumb because you'll lose on average, but people do sometimes win in casinos, too. Selling insurance when you can't afford to lose is risking disaster, but sometimes people get away with that too.

Multiple people in this thread have stated that they believe that users deleting their own content is "destroying the community/Reddit", to which I say "their access to said content is a privilege that can be revoked, not a right", and users who do this (of which I am not one) should not be made to feel guilt.

Community contributions are a voluntary act, not an obligation.

My position is that a corporation doing business in the US is already vulnerable to US Government just coming and taking whatever data they want; in fact, as long as government's request has any semblance of legitimacy, e.g. by coming in as a signed and stamped letter from a government agency, corporate will happily hand the data over. After all, the government is not the enemy of a corporation - it's its life-giver and potential customer.

Corporations do, however, care about their data being handled in accordance with the law, and safe from competitors and malicious third parties (be they cyber-criminals, kids, foreign intelligence agencies, or journalists). Microsoft, as one of many providers of services to companies of all sizes, offers exactly such safe environment, which is also auditable, and comes with an actual SLA that makes them liable for fuck-ups. This is what serious companies want, and it's why they pay Microsoft and use their services - whether it's Office or SharePoint or Azure AI platform. OpenAI itself doesn't offer any of it, which is why any serious company has put it on a top spot of its shit-list.

Maybe you're right and I'm just not the right sort of person for this in many ways. However, I would question how living in such a way that you're literally counting every penny for so long would affect your relationship with money. It would be a crying shame to have worked so hard for so long to earn it and then not be able to bring yourself to enjoy it.

It's great that John is this monster endurance tech athlete with amazing results, but in the same way that the dude that ran a 50k or 100k last weekend might not be the best person to emulate for you, John probably doesn't align with what makes sense for 99.9% of the world's tech population.

Shorter work weeks make sense for almost everyone working in tech. I'd put in more 9s, non-ironically, but it's a bad look.

Since the post is tagged 2016, I think it is also more likely than not that John would agree with this now; it's very possible that he'd also agree with it then, but I didn't go beyond the linked comment.
He seems to strongly believe Twitter is profitable right now, don’t know where he gets that belief, I thought Twitter was not breaking even

A framing I often use is, "Data is like holding uranium". It can be incredibly valuable, but also very dangerous. You should be very sure that the data you're holding is worth the cost of safely protecting it (a high cost), and if it is not, get rid of it.

Stripe is a good mental model here, I don't want a person's credit card data, I want to charge them for my product. I love storing a Stripe customer ID, if a hacker were to grab that table, I wouldn't lose (a lot) of sleep, they couldn't do much with it. If that table held credit card data...I would.

That farms out a lot of responsibility to Stripe, but for a side project, I don't have the time necessary to do as good of a job at it relative to Stripe.
I would love to (though I'm a long way off it, with not much to walk away to) but I wonder what the equivalent feeling is if you already/previously work from home? Shipping the work machine back? Turning it off for the last time? Unplugging web cam and microphone?
yikes! thanks for pointing that out. The blog's renderer is confused too and renders the `#cowsay -- flakes are neat` as a comment.

To explain what's happening:

- The example above is running `nix run <flake output attribute> -- <arguments to pass to the flake output's binary>`.

- The `<flake output attribute>` here is `.#cowsay`, which is to be read as: `<flake reference>#<attribute path>`. The # is a separator here.

- The `<flake reference>` being `.` implies its a local flake at the current directory.
The `<attribute path>` in this case is the output from the flake i.e. the `cowsay` program.

further fun to be found at: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix....

As a meta-comment, yeah, this is kinda non-trivial for most of us. This is why we build devbox which provides a more familiar UX like `devbox add cowsay && devbox run -- cowsay "flakes are neat"`

I am a current Schwab employee, this thread was linked to me by another. I will clarify: During the pandemic, work from home measures were instituted. In 2021 discussions were brought forward to return to office, but they were quickly walked back and a hefty pay raise was given to workers, as at that time the Great Resignation was in effect and workers were leaving en masse for positions that featured full WFH. This model continued with various adjustments for going on two years. Just yesterday an e-mail was sent out company-wide from the Executive Council, which detailed a plan to have the entirety of the company return to office for at least 3 days a week starting October 1st, 2023. This was reacted to harshly, because it was dropped early in the morning and its contents were not known outside of a select few. As such, many team leads, managers, and even district managers were left totally floored and unaware of anything other than that they have new marching orders.

In the years since WFH was first instituted, Schwab higher-ups including CEO Walt Bettinger himself stated at length that its new policy was here to stay, and Schwab would be leading the way forward as it considered this to be the future of labor. At this time several employees have purchased homes or relocated to live with family or partners sometimes not even in the same state as the office in which they are expected to report to. To say that it has been tumultuous on the inside is putting it quite lightly, employees in multiple locations are now organizing and discussing how exactly to make their displeasure made known. I will say that I am very displeased with senior executives' decision to essentially hand a decree down from on high in a complete reversal of stated policy, completely without input of a vast majority of the company. Over the years Schwab has cultivated a company culture of familiarity focused on professional wellbeing, so yesterday's events were quite a stark contrast and many are still in shock.
I find it rather cringe that we are judging where Carmack chooses to spend his spare time in a thread about people working less (where he was explicitly mentioned in the parent comment he responded to). In addition to being an engineer, he's a leader of engineering teams. He would benefit more than most from applying cutting edge managerial science in organizations he operates.

As an older engineer I find Carmack's observations interesting and quite accurate.
Well in that case this boils down to: "LiveView does this for you. In fact it does this because the underlying language does this for you. Most other frameworks in other languages do not do this for you. You might be able to roll your own but it would be a huge headache to do". :)
Disagree. Sure, he's not an empirical researcher, but he does have decades of experience being highly productive. I think his opinion holds some weight. He's also clear that he's speaking from personal experience and not making a scientific claim.
He tells you literally and exactly what he means: his "point is purely about the effective output of an individual". Emphasis is mine on effective output. His opponents argue that there's a peak in productivity, such that if workers wanted the greatest chance at stopping the asteroid, they should choose to only work 35 hours a week. He argues that this peak either does not exist, or is way more than 35 hours.

> This particular article does touch on a goal that isn’t usually explicitly stated: it would make the world “less unequal” if everyone was prevented from working longer hours. Yes, it would, but I am deeply appalled at the thought of trading away individual freedom of action and additional value in the world for that goal.

Individual freedom seems to be in the mouth of all millionaires that can afford that freedom. Most people has to work to live and their freedom of choice ends there. And it is already forbidden in most countries to "work as many hours as you want" because is the only way to avoid a race to the bottom were everybody, except the rich, suffer.

This is a clear example of bias and that the fact that a guy is talented in one thing does not make him be able to understand a different one.

Less common side of the argument a friend presented to me. We shouldn't use nuclear in mainstream use cases now because we don't harness enough of its power. We're basically depleting a future fuel supply before we even know how to use it properly. It has more value to us in the future when utilization is at higher %.

Personally not sure which side of the fence I sit on. It definitely has benefits now, but we also have capacity to make do with other shit. If we make do with other stuff will we forget about it and never get to that higher utilization point?

I found it an interesting point. Wouldn't be the first time humans have made something extinct/disappear/rare before the true value of the thing is understood.

Use now with low efficacy for mild gains. Save for future with bet on higher efficiency and increased gains.
Whether or not Twitter is profitable, revenue has dropped tremendously YoY.
Maybe I'm a jaded 44yo at this point, but why would you put your maximum into it unless it's your own business or you have a guaranteed payout for that effort? Not everyone works at a startup, nor are all startups successful.

Look at the big tech layoffs earlier this year - they were letting both the cruft and top tier talent go. Is it easy to say you are truly safe where you are at?

No one will remember or care about your title, your salary, or the effort you put into wherever you work. Your next employer will have no insight into any of that at all outside of your interviews; they'll measure your worth on the job unless you are a world class snowflake.

I'm not saying don't continue to learn and excel! But there's more to life than your day job. Spoken as someone who discovered way too late a proper life/work balance.
On a related note if people want a rabbit hole to venture down, look up the effects of isothiocyanate's on benzene and other metabolite excretion. IIRC sulforaphane found in cruciferous vegetables can increase the excretion of benzene upwards of 60%. There are some studies on this topic on nih.gov but I won't cherry pick. Start with google using "site:nih.gov cruciferous vegetables benzene excretion"

That comment is for people stuck with gas stoves and/or that reside near automotive exhaust. Consider eating cruciferous veggies.
I agree. My first language, in 1981, was the original line numbered BASIC. We all know its shortcomings as a language, but for most operations, you could at least form a concrete mental model of what the computer was doing. You could "run" your program on paper.

Helping people learn Python, I end up explaining things like variables by treating them like the old BASIC variables -- hard memory locations containing values, associated with a name. I don't mention that an integer is an object with properties and methods. On the other hand, a beginner tutorial that starts with "venv" is criminal.

Sure, the language was primitive, but none of us who learned on obsolete languages were scarred for life. The teacher explained to us the shortcomings of BASIC, and we learned the hard way what spaghetti code is. Most of us were destined to learn Pascal if we made it to college.

Having used it contemporaneous with MS-DOS, no, it was not. It wasn't as good, and several times more expensive. I assume you meant Gary's OS.

Bill Gates actually initially declined the offer from IBM and SENT IBM TO GARY! To say Gary had no chance is just inaccurate. Gary muffed the deal, and IBM went back to Bill, and this time, Bill wasn't going to miss the opportunity.

The regulation gives manufacturers quite a lot of leeway on how easy it is to replace the battery. You could make the display a battery, just make sure users can replace the display with pull tabs, a set of precision screwdrivers and whatever other commercially available tools you want. And from just skimming the regulation, I don't see how devices would be forced to have a battery. It talks about devices with batteries, and batteries in mobile phones, but if your device doesn't have a battery then this regulation simply doesn't apply.
> it is already forbidden in most countries to "work as many hours as you want" because is the only way to avoid a race to the bottom were everybody, except the rich, suffer.

Remember that Carmack is in the US, where this is not forbidden.

I have the same opinion. Having to choose a server is a significant hassle. Some servers specialize in one area, while others specialize in another. They "can" federate to some extent, but it is insufficient. The only thing that would eventually work is something that behaved like a centralized service. Similar to IPFS. You have a link, and it downloads from wherever server it is located on.
There are plenty of precursors for an earthquake. Or maybe there are none. But it doesn't much matter because timescales of earthquakes can be thousands or more of years. While timescales of data is about a hundred years.
I don't follow. If the goal is insurance then why not just have... something more like insurance? Like when you buy insurance for your car or home? We don't let randos buy options on the average Joe's mortgage or car loan and claim it helps price discovery or liquidity, right? Or is it the case that even I can do that and I'm just out of the loop?

Provide liquidity. Speculators are trying to make profit, but their existence is important to make sure the farmers are correctly priced.

Do farmers prefer that? Yes, the larger the futures market, the price of selling futures will be closer to optimal. If the market is illiquid, farmers often have to sell futures at a lower prices to market makers.
Aren't National Insurance numbers purely for state pension contributions? I don't think it's like what the USA SSN has been butchered as. When I was at college in the USA the SSN was used as your student ID and the prof printed them on attendance sheets each lecture and passed it around the room.

It's been clearly stated multiple times that the 3rd party developers are willing to pay a reasonable price (and already do for other providers), so by claiming they want a "free forever service" either you are aware of this fact and intentionally being deceptive or you are willingly remaining ignorant by refusing to read anything they've said.
Is it not autocompleting code?

Autocompleting code and programming with others in mind are completely different (though related) tasks. It’s a copilot and it’s your responsibility to make sure it’s on the right track.

working over 40h is only « forbidden » where i live because paying 1.5x/h is not acceptable from the employer’s pov. it’s annoying from the worker’s pov since you’re necessarily capped at 40h if your employer doesn’t want to pay that rate.

Why would it matter, though? The problem definition is literally "this is JSON response I'm getting: {JSON example from OpenAI docs}; write me code in {preferred programming language} that dispatches function calls based on it; ensure there's error handling in case input doesn't match this format or isn't even a valid JSON in the first place".

Perhaps combined with: "here is a bunch of function declarations: {taken from OpenAI example}; here is a corresponding JSON schema {also taken from OpenAI example}; based on this example, please write me a JSON schema for the following function declarations {actual functions you want to provide}."

That is, the problem doesn't rely on anything that's less than 5-8 years old (or more, I don't remember how old the JSON as we know it is).
Very obviously not.
