I used to work at a church, and my supervisor basically ruled the office and the whole parish in terms of administration. And she was the queen of writing passive-aggressive signs to post everywhere. And you could always tell it was one of her signs, because it used sentence fragments and it was very insistent about things.

So I not only worked there, but I also volunteered in several capacities. So her signs were often directed at volunteer groups to tell us what to do with the room and stuff. There were a ton of signs in the kitchen, of course, a point of contention at all times. And there were more in every meeting room. And being quite scrupulous as I am, I strove to obey every single command represented in those signs because I knew the person behind them, and I knew she was serious about it and she'd have our hides if we didn't comply. Most other people didn't care and just ignored the signs and just went about their business.

Another thing about our office was that there were no written policies and procedures. It's kind of ironic since we had a massive corpus of signs posted, but there was no employee handbook that I could consult to find out how to process a certain form, or how to use the software we depended on, or anything. Now the diocese definitely had a respectable body of P&P, but that wasn't made available to us directly. But every time I ran afoul of some unwritten rule, I would hear about it from my supervisor. And her updates were always verbal too: if she wanted to change the way we did something, she'd phone me up and tell me about it. There were no memos sent or notes put on my desk about anything.

So you can imagine how crazy-making this would be for a normal person; well I have a disability and several things just set me off. Eventually I realized how toxic it all was, and I quit. I left on good terms, but I told them I never wanted to work in the office again, not even as a volunteer, because a lot of trauma was coming up for me, and I could not abide that.
Yes but the storage used by that instance is shared among 1000 users, rather than all devoted to just one user. Theoretically there would be a fair amount of duplication and therefore less net resource use.
Why poll when you could actually vote and elect! Oh they do.
Could they just have some drills with diamond-tipped bits stored inside for emergency use? If needed, drill through the whole shell, stick an arm out and unbolt from the outside.

Or maybe a jackhammer to just hammer through whatever glass is there for observation purposes.
Thanks for reporting. Will fix that.

Well, the one that broke it at least. Attacks of this nature are inherently brittle.

Canva grew very quickly. I don't think it was a terrible call to use the cloud at the time.
Saves the state money in upkeep, with the tradeoff being that the private nonprofit can set its own rules on access.
Parts of this, especially the first few chapters, sound very similar to what I wrote earlier that year (and have then kept updating for another year):

Would be fun to believe that something I wrote inspired parts of this one, but in reality it's probably just a case of great minds thinking (and sounding) alike :)

Anyway, I'm glad to have found this great text. I agree with the author's statement that "there’s a distinctive lack of good information online", because I felt the same way writing mine. Thanks hn and whoever (re)posted this.
when Enron took advantage of California market deregulation, and the consumer power market actually failed.. a scramble ensued in Sacramento and elsewhere.. many rocks were turned over in short order. It was discovered that, despite countless regulations, full-time oversight and public review, the upper management at PG&E had found a way to transfer real assets to the books of a second groups of companies, and expanded that to purchase power generation facilities across the US. It was expressly forbidden at every step, and it was discovered because the de-regulation failures had made an actual panic situation. The "left" press in San Francisco had run accusatory media stories for thirty years, but yet management was able to do this.

Blatant goalpost shifting. Conversation was about how representative the anecdotes were to the documented reality of the rate of small business failures. Now, you’re discussing global poverty.

But even if we go with your scrambling goalposts, small business start rates have declined markedly over the past 50 years at the noted high rate of failure:

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/56945

So yes, all signs point to it actually being more difficult for small businesses to succeed.
Police don't do anything. I had 3 fibre optic cables cut by a Bell technician a couple of months ago that resulted in a significant ~30 hour outage for 60 customers. We knew when the cables were cut, we knew the cables were cut at a height on the pole in question that was only accessible via a ladder or bucket truck, and we knew the first name of the Bell tech that was working on a copper phone line for the only residence served by that pole. There was no question as to who cut the cables, but without video footage the cops wouldn't make any effort whatsoever to pursue the matter. The OPP officer took a report and did nothing more. I no longer have absolutely no expectation of justice on "minor" matters from police here in Ontario.

There are other local residents have had various possessions stolen. We know informally who did it, but the police can't do a thing. Not sure what the cops are doing with the truckloads of money they get from our taxes every year.
Well, not exactly. It rewards current production, i.e. people buy Teslas, as well as future production, i.e. we think you can make us money based on your track record.

I should say more precisely that the world doesn't reward Tesla; it thinks it can get more out of Tesla than it gives it. Which is probably the least worst system.

Its probably regulation that is making the market not free enough. For power they are often granted explicit monopolies. The straightforward solution to "the guys we gave a monopoly to are charging too much" is not letting them have a monopoly anymore.
At least when it comes to love and marriage I definitely think settling that in yours 20s is best, or being on course to settle it. I think dating becomes very hard after 30 and there are big generational gaps and I think the fertility industry is not a good solution. I think its sub-optimal trying to find a partner as you get older.

Ideally, the numbers Stanford listed (married at 26...) would have been preferable to me at least. It might be good to figure out why people miss that and figure out how to improve it rather than counting on the last resort of fertility treatments in your 40s.
Why don't you provide that service profit free then. People on this stuff are always all talk. Id be interested in people demonstrating a world with no profit on a smaller scale first. Why not run a company where every one gets paid the same and demonstrate your competence.
Other options are typically more fully-baked and conventional.

For me, Twitter has come to life, since Musk took over. It’s definitely more lively and it’s great to see conservative voices given the same freedom to express themselves as leftwing voices.

The world will be more harmonious if we allow the left and right to debate openly, rather than trying to divide and segregate society along political lines.

Musk did a vital thing with Twitter 2.0. Long may it continue.
I do this at home - I’m off-grid, but have a picogrid here as we’re distributed over a fairly large area and have a few structures separated by up to a kilometre, and we’ve multiple PV arrays, a hydro generator to be installed later this summer when the river is low, and a few wind turbines.

By far and away the easiest way to control production - i.e. brake/feather turbines or dump PV, is frequency shifting, as I’ve batteries and inverters in several locations and while networking them would be possible, it’s unnecessary. It’s typically intended for grid-tie operations, but here I use it to control our tiny isolated grid.

It’s a pretty small range (50.2-53hz) over which they shift, but it’s more than enough.

Just because you're not able to separate the good from the bad, doesn't mean it's all bad in JS land.
I suppose, but really what you need to achieve that is not the app-developers modifying their apps, what you need is some bridge that exposes a reddit API on top of lemmy (or the fediverse in general).

In theory anyone could build and run such a bridge, but I'm not sure if anyone has a strong incentive to make one.
Interesting thought. The breakdown of those hours suggests they are mostly small none repeating tasks. Like, how long does it take to unbox the yard sign and stick it in the ground. It may take less time now that it is fully automated. We will be constantly looking for ways to make it easier for our customers. Thanks for your question
What was the failure rate of small businesses in the past? I think it’s higher than 50%, looking forward to being proven wrong.
Either way, thats like saying an oil worker from the 1950's is different than an oil worker now. Yeah, thanks for the obvious
Yes, the cost is on the high side at the moment. It is impractical, but it may be the only choice we ever have if we do not want an internet connected vehicle.
Nobody can separate AI headshots from real ones anymore
87% of people mistake an AI headshot for a real one. This quiz confirms this as so far nobody's gotten a perfect score. False positives seem to be the problem. Thoughts?
Neocon wsj writers decide that “waiting until you can afford to have kids when you’re old” is normal because they want you to slave away at your jobs all so that capitalists can accrue more and more. If bullshit like this becomes mainstream then they can justify extracting more and more out of you indefinitely until you die empty handed and completely unfulfilled. They’ll raise the retirement age, lower your benefits, and make sure you have no way to pass down any generational wealth. Forget your kids having grandma and grandpas!

I’m on a plane across the country because my mother just died from a stroke at the age of 61. I’m 32. She’ll never see grandchildren from me (her only child) and she’ll never see what I amount to fully. There’ll be no reconciliation for the terrible childhood and whatnot. I figured maybe when I had kids that maybe things could be more fixed. It won’t happen now. My father will likely die soon because he doesn’t have a strong will to live on his own and is in much worse health than my mother. He should’ve died three years ago when he had a heart attack but he got very lucky that the ambulance came when it did.

I would’ve had kids already but due to the insane market we’ve had going on in the USA - I couldn’t afford to start a family and had to divorce my ex wife due to financial issues. I’m an exceptionally well earning person - in the top 1%. But my wife wasn’t and so we couldn’t afford to start a family in the Bay Area and decided to move on. We didn’t want to be stuck with dealing with greedy landlords and no privacy.

I hate articles like this because it tries to normalize what isn’t and should never be normal.
I think some of the pushback that I feel to that is that it seems like a socially acceptable guise for just wanting to hate rich people. I'm fine if your opinion is "screw rich people who spend this much on weird things", or even "Rich people who died doing something this frivolous deserved it." But just own that.

If this had been the original diving expedition to the Titanic to find the wreck for the first time, or even the followups, and people had potentially died then, I doubt we would have had this many people out in the comments about how its distasteful and they're hoping it would dissuade anyone from doing it again.

At least "I hate rich people" is a consistent view whether you agree or not. Trying to make that view more socially acceptable by adding new and inconsistent layers on top about how visiting a place people died is inherently something that makes them unsympathetic just feels weird.

Can you explain this, how can it be indistiguishable from random noise? What does that even mean? And why is it even important/useful? Surely even if it looks like noise anyone can see that you are communicating with the DHT network?
How much of that is just observation bias? My understanding is that our current methods for detecting exoplanets are biased towards certain types of planets that are very different from earth, e.g. Gas giants close to stars
There are a couple shops that are doing EV conversions already, for not that much compared to a new EV. The issue is that since the vehicle isn't designed for batteries and an electric motor, there is a lot of wasted space and the safety of the batteries is kind of a grey area.

It's also prohibitevly expensive to get enough batteries for distance, and the controlers are awfully finicky and you kind of have to fight proprietary software if I remember correctly.

I just think we aren't there yet - but maybe I'm wrong!
> But so far, most of the proposals seem to involve bolting something on the outside of the black box of the LLM itself.

This might be the only way. I maintain that, if we're making analogies to humans, then LLMs best fit as equivalent of one's inner voice - the thing sitting at the border between the conscious and the (un/sub)conscious, which surfaces thoughts in form of language - the "stream of consciousness". The instinctive, gut-feel responses which... you typically don't voice, because they tend to sound right but usually aren't. Much like we do extra processing, conscious or otherwise, to turn that stream of consciousness into something reasonably correct, I feel the future of LLMs is to be a component of a system, surrounded by additional layers that process the LLM's output, or do a back-and-forth with it, until something reasonably certain and free of hallucinations is reached.
Speak for yourself. Free speech is a core part of democracy. America has the purest form.
Things are different if fediverse due to its federated nature. Sure, the UX is not great yet, but one bad actor cannot destroy the whole ecosystem. Some communities turn racists can't ruin the entire ecosystem. Heck, even the project owner himself cannot ruin the ecosystem because everyone run their own instance from the available source code and can fork at moment notice. Compare that to Reddit where the CEO has enough power to force all protesting subreddits to reopen and kill all 3rd party apps. Such thing is not possible in fediverse.
Are we even talking about the same website?
Ditto, been using it for many years and recommend it!
I can't agree with this more. Starting a family should not be taken lightly as some kind of whimsical selfish destiny.

When people have kids later, it's because they're not ready. Some people are never ready because they are needed more elsewhere. Family will consume all of your free time, money, and effort. It's a big sacrifice.
I honestly don't care about the whole API drama, but I've been looking to get off reddit for awhile now. I switched over to Lemmy and committed to a week of usage. It's rough around the edges but it works. I'm in. Haven't been back to reddit and don't plan to.
no sorry, its a beginner mistake to think that there are average people at all. For example, people who are not adults.. there is no meaning to "average" for children at 2 years, 6 years, 8 years, 12 years.. they are different. Its not an average.. it is a collection of groups.. Human populations are collections of groups that overlap in characteristics.. there is no "average" person
Wouldn't those statics also be slated for removal with this change?
There was some home computer - either an original Apple II or a Commodore PET, I don't remember - where if you splurged for the fancy second disk drive, the computer could be destroyed by a rogue program spinning up both drives at once. And since every program ran at the same protection level as the OS (because there were none), it was either two MOVs or two POKEs to the hardware registers to make it happen.
Maybe it's a matter of epistemological taste. The thought of rubber-stamping mere authority is so distasteful that "being wrong" is actually preferable.

I can relate with that.

This sounds to me like it would be a very poor approximation of how EDR works on Apple displays.

Most likely, the postmaster will maintain a separate process, much like today with pg, or similar to Firefox or Chrome's control process that can catch the panic'd process, cleanup and restart them. The WAL can be recovered as well if there were broken transactions in flight.
A switch such as would be present in an older clothes dryer or washing machine. The newer ones use electronically controlled relays but I could see the designers skipping the quartz oscillator because the time difference comes out in the wash.
Do not have kids before buying a house. This will almost certainly guarantee you’ll never reach escape velocity to buy a house if you have standard income levels.

Also, it doesn’t actually matter much when you have kids. As long as you have a fertile partner and sufficient resources you can basically have them whenever.

The time to have kids depends on what parenting style you want. If you want a more hands off approach where you mostly just prevent kids from making stupid decisions while they decide their own course in life, it’s fine, perhaps advantageous being an older parent. If you prefer though to micromanage your kid and learn about life with them as you go along and get in arguments with them about the best way to do things, being younger is better.
Thanks for the numbers. I do always enjoy learning something new
I wonder if the $24M that the state contributed came with any stipulations ensuring public access to the land. It sounds like they intend to open it to the public anyway, but for that amount of money I assume there must be some binding legal agreements as well.
My point here is that what Norman Nielsen deals with is "mass market user experience". This has been very clear for a very long time.

For many medium-sized problems, there is. "Operate car accessories" is a good example. So is "book travel".

I know you were being tongue in cheek, but I am pretty sure this launched right around 2017. In fact, I don't think it's been updated since. I always thought this was a really great idea, but I admit it is strange seeing it crop up again now (looking exactly as it did years ago).
I have an Obsidian vault synced using Synthing. At first I thought that Android would kill the Syncthing background process all the time, but it's been fine so far (I do have to launch Synching manually after restarting my phone).

I don't use any of Obsidian's fancy features, apart from tags and the occasional note link (so that I don't have to copy-paste a reference from another note).

I use the "daily note" feature if I want to jot something down quickly. I then formalise it later and when I'm at my computer, I check in the markdown files into git with a script that modifies the timestamps of the commit(s) to match the last-modified date of the files I'm checking in. This is so that I can know exactly when I wrote down a note, so that I can correlate the commit with other records like my browser history.
This is about inflation, right? We don't know how much the universe inflated after the big bang, just that it did.

I believe this is a somewhat common arrangement for industrial users. The power company gives a discount if you agree to be first in line to be cut when reserves are at a minimum.
Indeed, what the various “reactive” frameworks do is in the end the idea behind MVC, although as they are web-based the implementation is ridiculously complex and the abstraction is very leaky.
Then there’s also the issue of minor failures cascading.

I’m by no means a structural engineer, but with bike parts — in steel or aluminum, if you get a tiny 1mm chip in the material, you can more-or-less just treat it as if the steel is 1mm thinner. With engineering tolerances it is irrelevant.

But in a carbon fiber, that 1mm chip could be totally unnoticed for months, while slowly causing an invisible hairline crack, until the entire component suddenly explodes with no warning.

Maybe someone can verify if that is possible at a larger scale, but I feel like it must be to some extent.. especially if there is an invisible manufacturing imperfection due to the higher precision required in carbon fiber
No, 500 more than the book value. The issue you are taking about is that book value doesn’t equal asset value perfectly for a variety of reasons.

Discord has a very good anti-abuse system in place that prevents most sockpuppet and spam attacks. The moderation burden on a Discourse is vastly higher than on a Discord as a result, and since most public forums have no paid moderators, the optimization of effort is strongly in favor of Discord over Discourse.
Sure. If we've got to test dangerous drugs on humans (which at some point you must) - this is about as ethical as it gets I think.
