Yeah but Oracle is a for-profit corporation and the union is funded by workers ... That money should be going to improve pay, benefits, working conditions, etc. Not funding political campaigns for causes the workers may not even support (its actually really difficult to even find out what/whom the Carpenter union is funding, just vague PACs). I'd rather see that money go back to the workers. Unions should disclose, if they don't already, how their money is spent (and not just 1 line item on their paycheck).

In general though it is clear what RedHat does not seems to want to play Open Source game any more, at least when it comes to RHEL.

No. Prions are not "infectious proteins", they are "transmissible protein folds". The universe of proteins which can be spontaneously misfolded by another protein that is already misfolded is relatively rare. It's also not very difficult to engineer. When I was in grad school some of my classmates tried (not all amyloid "prion" proteins are bad, some are structural, such as pMel which is used to sequester toxic melanin precursors and scaffold them into melanin), and it was difficult to improve upon nature.

It's very likely that every "prion-capable" protein is that way for a strategic reason (e.g. Alzheimer's protein is likely that way to ensnare viruses before they can further damage brains).

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002192581...

Not every protein needs to be capable of misfolding, life would be very metastable if every protein were, so, no, you will not turn into a "puddle of goo" via an engineered prion. It might really suck, and your brain (or pick organ here) would get holes drilled in it over the course of years. But not hours.

I’m in basically the first cohort to get fully fledged (web browsing, YouTube, social media, games, porn) unmonitored smartphone access at those ages and I think it did not mess me up much if at all. I was living in isolated suburbia so it’s not like playing outside was an option anyway.

If those are a problem, it’s more likely to be from getting access at a younger age IMO. I have a theory that it’s primarily the increasing use of video as a medium that is damaging. Not only does video prevent building literacy skills, it also tends to be used to deliver content that leads to parasocial relationships and celebrity worship which is frankly concerning IME.

I've noticed some humans are willing to argue without giving up too. Sometimes online arguments follow a pattern where each response is longer than the last until one person decides it's not worth their time to continue the argument. In my head I've called this "argument by attrition".

Oddly, I'd expect skilled readers do use cueing. But, I'd expect that understanding and interpreting the different cues around requires experience. I also expect that it is never done "blind" on the word. For example, if you see the word "sake", cues let you know if it is one or two syllables. But the cues alone are almost certainly not usable for determining what word would appear somewhere. (edit: LLMs and an interpretation of them being only the connection of cues not withstanding.)

I REALLY don't like the idea of hardware companies also owning content creation at all. Wether it's Sony owning film companies or MS owning game companies. There should absolutely be some level of conflict and negotiation between these portions of the market in order for markets to work. Vertical monopolies are just as bad as horizontal ones.

Much like the government, I really feel that corporations should be limited in scope and conglomerates are problematic.

edit: I've had a disdain for Sony since the CD computer malware a couple decades ago. Between that and Bluray winning the content war, when HD-DVD had won on pricing.

Normally, ML training is via back propagation, which is a synchronous technique. If you try to trivially parallelize, it doesn't work, for reasons (tm).

This lets you train a machine learning model of arbitrary size (bigger than can fit on a GPU, or even a multigpu node) using an actor-based distributed technique. There is a slight training cycles count penalty but it's way less than the cost of coordination.
This is best suited for Blind where you have the verification. That said recent results turned up little. On the layoffs, morale seems bad:

- "There isn't much clarity around severance and health insurance"

- "This is fine ([fire emoji] [dog emoji] [fire emoji])"

Recent (past month) reviews seem negative: "questionable execs", "micromanaging", "still not mature", "growing pains", "stay away", "mediocre, lack of product vision".

As a reminder Blind the users are verified to be working at the company. It's quite the cesspit of elitism and "I make more than you". But, again, reviews tend to be accurate because it's verified anonymity.

Not a coincidence. The big firms paved the way, showed that this (the new) normal, and how it's done. And since tech investors seem to be receptive to it now, the smaller firms are copying it now.

If you think about it as a one-off amusement it's no big deal. This is how most people are evaluating it.

But consider iterating such an interaction over the course of, say, 25 years, and comparing the person who was interacting with humans versus the one who interacted with LLMs, and any halfway sensible model of a human will show you what's dangerous about that. Yeah, the former may well have some more bumps and bruises, but on the net they're way ahead. And that's assuming the human who delegated all interaction to LLMs even made it to 25 years.

This argument only holds for LLMs as they stand now; it is not a generalized argument against AI friends. (That would require a lot more work.)
They're shooting themselves in the foot, more technical users produce more quality content that the lurkers enjoy.
Apple Maps was a pleasure to use when I last visited Tokyo, for the same reason.

This was in 2019 and I was using google as my default application, and I was blown away how much better Apple handled the trains. The part I remember most was how it denoted each train with proper colors, while showing their live positions. That made it easy to navigate the otherwise intimidating quantity of trains and complexity of the stations.

The experience got me to try Apple Maps in the USA again, where I found the quality had substantially improved and good enough for my use cases. It's only improved since then.

>Linux's multiprocessor support was ...lackluster at best... prior to IBM contributing all the Sequent (Dynix) derived multiprocessing stuff. Hyperthreading/Multicore started to get "normal" even in consumer systems only a couple years later, so that injection was pretty critical.

It was certainly needed over time but capabilities from things like RCU out of Sequent weren't that important in the 2000 timeframe. And a lot of IBM's contributions didn't come online until the v4 kernel.

None of this is to minimize IBM's contributions to Linux over time but I'd argue pretty strongly that IBM's endorsement of Linux for enterprises in January 2000 is what really moved the needle in the short run.

Here's what one of the people most directly involved told me a few years ago:

"By the late 90s, it was clear that Linux was becoming more and more important. And we formed a major task force to see to what extent IBM should embrace Linux and this happened in 1999. And the task force came back and said, we absolutely should embrace Linux, that it was going to be an incredibly important part of computing, that we should embrace Linux across all of IBM's offerings. And that IBM should become a major supporter of Linux.

"And I still remember very well in December of ‘99, I called Sam Palmisano, the head of IBM Systems Group. And I said, Sam, the task force recommends that we should embrace Linux. And Sam said, okay, Irving, we will do that. But you have to now come over and run an IBM Linux initiative. And I said to Sam, okay, we were pretty much done with our internet strategy. So I was no longer needed to run the Internet division And I said to Sam, when do you want to announce it? And Sam said, how about now? And I said Sam. It's the Christmas holidays. Maybe we should wait until the new year. And in the second week of January of 2000, we made a major announcement saying that IBM would embrace Linux across all of these offerings. And in fact, later that month in January of 2000, I gave a keynote at LinuxWorld, which was taking place in the Javits Center in New York City, about IBM’s Linux initiative.

Politically influential paper that turns out to be bogus. They had an Exel errors, seleted data exclusively and used weird weighing in the data that invalidates their result. When you fix the error, the conclusion reverses.

>"While using RR's working spreadsheet, we identified coding errors, selective exclusion of available data, and unconventional weighting of summary statistics."

>When properly calculated, the average real GDP growth rate for countries carrying a public-debt-to-GDP ratio of over 90 percent is actually 2.2 percent, not −0.1 percent as published in Reinhart and Rogoff. That is, contrary to RR, average GDP growth at public debt/GDP ratios over 90 percent is not dramatically different than when debt/GDP ratios are lower.
> I don't see the distinction. What's the difference between public and private sector employees?

Public sector union contracts are negotiated with elected officials. Parties in power make concessions to those unions to gain the electoral support of their members using tax dollars as the funding source. Once granted, it's nearly impossible to walk away from a bad deal. We end up with unfunded obligations as the bill tossed to future generations. They're effectively buying votes with your tax dollars.

And that's just the money angle. On the service front, they make non-monetary concessions like the inability to fire bad teachers without going through an all but impossible multi-year process.

> So you're actually against unions in general?

Not at all. Private sector companies pay their own bills. They're free to enter whatever agreements they'd like because tax payers are not on the hook for the results. If they enter an unsustainable agreement, the company will simply go bankrupt. If they think it's advantageous to enter a collective bargaining agreement then they're free to do so.

Look into diabetic shoes; they tend to have wide toeboxes. Luckily here in Las Vegas we still have an old fashioned, competent shoe store where they actually measure your foot (pressure pad and all), understand foot anatomy and how different manufacturers make their products. They recommended a few different brands. I prefer New Balance so they produced the 1540. The v2 fit me better but alas, all you can find now is the 1540v3. It wasn't the cheapest shoe, however it is leaps and bounds better than any other tennis shoe I have ever worn. Worth every penny.

For public services, entry level sw engineering with a master's degree would put you at ~52k€ (TVöD E13 I); with 1 yr of experience you would get ~+5k€; with around 3 yrs of experience you would get ~+9k€, surpassing the median salary if you have a master's degree. With a bachelor's degree you'd start at ~46k (TVöD E11 I, though E10 would be possible, too) and would need to wait a bit longer until you surpass the median.
Note that German public services generally base your base pay on your qualification (your degree), only then can your experience "shift" the base pay upwards. Also note that starting next year, they will get a 10 % salary increase...

Tl;dr public service employees earn pretty average

One of my favorite talks by Carl Sagan talks about the geocentric conceit, and how one manifestation of that is how most civilizations tend to put themselves at the center of the map.

There are certainly some good reasons to put yourself there. Most planning for your civilization that calls for a map is going to use “home” as a starting point and you’ll go “out” from there.

But it’s still a fun observation.

You don't win any fight that ends in a concession. Apple was instructed to cease-and-desist; if they continue along their current path, they could be held liable for violating federal labor laws.

Their legal council is probably doing the same thing they did with the Uighur labor allegations and the Foxconn suicides - begging Apple to denounce it publicly and blame each instance rather than admit systemic abuse. It's pretty much all Apple knows at this point.
I use Apple maps almost exclusively, except when I rent a car on a trip sometimes. There are still some goofy things that Apple does (or doesn't do). Like several times in a certain rural area, I had Apple nav tell me to exit at the Nth roundabout exit, except that it didn't count a farm driveway or agricultural access roads while I did count them, not knowing any better. While the nav of the car I was renting did count those as exits.

I can understand the perspective of not counting non-public roads. The ag access was clearly marked as a road for ag/forestry but it was still a road that had a direct access to the roundabout. On the other hand, the driveway was not marked in any way though you could sort of tell it was a driveway.

But when you are driving, you are not necessarily evaluating whether this roundabout exit is one you can use or one you should or shouldn't count.

It was interesting to me that the Apple nav was harder to follow in those cases than the car nav. Before these incidents happened, I am not sure I could have guessed at which would be better.

"Don't drive on other people's private driveways so don't include private roads" is a reasonable heuristic to follow. But "count every road whether or not you might use it" is also reasonable.
This is why I'm glad Google maps is available in a 3d globe! Even at relatively close zoom levels the subtle differences in scale are really noticeable.
