And when you say "Aviation is safe" you mean specifically Scheduled Aviation ie people buy tickets and go on a plane with some guys they've never met flying it. Scheduled Aviation is remarkably safe.

GA (General aviation, people who own a little plane and maybe just fly it for fun, or it's a professional expense for say a plastic surgeon and allows them to fly 300 miles home on Thursday evening after working four days in the big city) is not safe. A few hundred of these people die, not just smash up their planes or get hurt, but die, sometimes with family or friends aboard, every year. It might make the local TV news, at most. Unless they were a celebrity it won't make national news.

Commercial is more complicated because there are so many possibilities. Cargo is pretty safe, if your job is to move boxes of stuff from one big jet airport to another in a civilized country you'll likely die in bed of old age. But if you fly a police helicopter, or medevac, or you're a crop duster, or you fly custom pick up jobs, when the client wants and where they want - those jobs can go badly wrong much too easily, without you really understanding what you've got yourself into until it's too late. These people are (or at least should be) better trained than in GA, but they're also often flying more demanding missions. You may operate out of somewhere with not-so-great capabilities, on short notice, in poor weather and/or at night, and you may be expected to go places that you ordinarily wouldn't, close to buildings, close to other aircraft, even close to the ground - all of which narrows your options if things go wrong.

Military is also pretty bad as I understand it. It needn't be, but there's some sense that the job is "supposed" to be dangerous, which maybe makes sense for front line infantry, but really not for the vast majority of military pilots - way too many of them die far from any enemy, as a result of somebody screwing up, just like in GA or commercial.
In America middle eastern counts as white, not black. But nobody is enforcing these things and now they won’t matter because racially discriminating on admissions is illegal.
I'm not talking about guilt, I'm talking about getting hurt. Black Americans were quite clearly discriminated against as a group.

Your examples are all about punishment, I'm talking about lifting them up, correcting the wrongs, reimbursing the damage done. It's not about benefits they inherited, but obstacles they inherited, opportunities that were denied to them, unjust punishment that they received. This has been structural for a ridiculously long time, and it's still not gone. Black people still receive more severe punishment for the same crimes, are still often denied opportunities that are available to white people (months ago there was an article here about how black founders couldn't get funding if they didn't get a white co-founder who was then assumed by VCs to be the real CEO). Even if they are technically equal before the law, that still doesn't mean that they're treated as equal in practice.
> Often this is true, but this case was decided based on constitutional interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The main opinion was actually following a line of cases using 14th Amendment jurisprudence to guide the interpetation of similar text in Title VI of the the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so, yes, Congress can override it by changing the text of the statute, which is in principal what is actually being applied.

The portion of the 14th Amendment whose interprtation was imported doesn’t bind either private actors or the federal government, so isn’t directly applicable on its own.

Teslamate is awesome. I've been running it for almost a year and it just keeps on trucking without any issues. Completely open source written in Elixir uses Phoenix LiveView, data in Postgres and provides prebuilt Grafana dashboards as well.

Also authentication tokens are done locally and refreshed nicely so no fear of leaking tokens/passwords.
> They pay you more because they can't hire a replacement

Sounds like the skills aren't very differentiated. IME it's quite rare for a business to miss differentiation in business impact in an order of magnitude.

Going to your earlier question, the candidate in question has many skills but is not overly specialized. He commands that price because he can point at the right place in the stack and say "There's $10 million in savings here" when everyone else misses it or "Changing the architecture in this way lets us ship 6 months faster" and he is able to do this repeatedly.
Yeah Google never ever does this. They do not want money they just work for kisses and they are not evil at all.
I get this feeling when I get kicked out of Google services at a different time than my usual 7 days (Monday) log out. I'm an admin of the Google services we use, and I still get that stomach dropping feeling.
Apologies if I was unclear. I didn't mean to suggest that DLSS generates textures. I was raising the question about whether or not generated textures would be in violation of the policy. And if they're fine, what about generated buildings or NPCs? It's fine that DLSS is considered compliant. My point is that it's not at all clear where we draw the line.
I think the problem with today's software is that there are few amateurs. Most software developers are professionals who get paid by the hour - that rather build something in 5 years then in 5 days because they get paid to do it, they do not hate complexity they embrace it. Something is taking 5 seconds you better make a framework to solve it. Software is everywhere so CEO's will keep paying. The good news is that a teenager can beat a team of 100 engineers. The large team still have an upper hand with their insane marketing budgets though. But who wants to be a developer when you can get famous on Tiktok instead.
The "dim flash of light" is called Cherenkov radiation and there's directional information encoded in it. Depending on which (or when a?) particular detector saw that light, the direction of the incoming particle can be calculated.

I have bad news for you. This exact topic has been discussed on my local radio station (in a medium sized city) and loads of callers described working at a photo lab where there was a drawer full of copies of "noteworthy" photos.

I think it's apples and oranges though. With a photo lab the customer has deliberately handed over whatever images they want developed, whether the images are private or not. Tesla employees sharing images from cameras that some people may have plausibly not even known were there feels like much more of a violation.

Just today Copilot saved me close to 1 hour of typing and replaced it essentially with ~1 minute of pressing Tab.

I was hooking IAudioClient COM class to capture and silence arbitrary app's audio, and as soon as I wrote signatures for its members Copilot was able to generate skeletal stub implementation with logging as well as hooking code totaling about 150 lines of Rust.
For people who are against affirmative action, what is your preferred course of action, given the racial disparities that exist in academia? I see three options:

1) say that these disparities are inevitable

2) wait for the disparities disappear on their own

3) address the disparities through some other policy or initiative
How bizarre.

Even someone with a basic understanding of passwords should have caught that nevermind an actual sysadmin
But perpetuating the logic of groups being advantaged over groups only keeps the identitarian mindset going. By openly favoring certain groups the discrimination never ends. All you need to do is look at India where the active discrimination in favor of scheduled castes goes on ad infinitum to see that the effect of any discrimination amplifies sectarianism. The line needs to be drawn somewhere. You don't fight fire with fire, you fight it with water. You don't solve discrimination with more discrimination, you fight it by having people not accept the logic of identitarianism.
Twitch.tv vs Kick.com is a bit more complicated, right?

It turns out there's little free, non-commercial, high quality content on the web.

I disagree. I think there's a lot of it out there, in the form of blogs and small forums. It's just really hard to find, like mining for gold in the Super Pit [1]. You need to sift through mountains of rubble to find tiny amounts of gold.

Visidata works with arbitrary separators. I just tried with a CSV separated with ␟ (ASCII unit separator) and it worked just fine.
OK, it can exist without breaking any laws, but if you can't release anything it helps you write, what's the point?
It is absolutely an accident. Engagement recommender systems do not optimize for outrage, they optimize for engagement. It just turns out that outrage causes engagement. The difference is that at no point is there a human who says "Let's cause outrage!" It's the algorithms that figure out the connection, which is the point being made by the person you replied to.
> If you want to be as profitable as Google or Facebook, you probably do need some rockstars, but you also need to be developing a technology or business that produces tremendous amounts of value.

Definitely agree on this.

> You can’t just hire rockstars to work on something low margin or without significant demand and expect because they’re amazing engineers that you’ll make a lot of money.

This isn't what I'm trying to argue though — I think when you reach for the ceiling instead of avoid a floor, you're more likely to find those tremendous business value opportunities. Consider what Google shipped/built under Schmidt, "20% time," "Don't be evil," and "we're a different kind of company" vs… the last 10 years?

I'm not saying "being wild and creative makes a bad business good," I'm saying "embracing some narratives of a creative industry may increase output and be more cost-effective, even if playing "outside the playbook of the 0% era" is scary."

---

On another note, I'm regretting that "rockstars" is in the title . It was meant to support the idea that tech was more of a "creatives" industry (and the organic use of that to mean "great talent" is a symptom of that); but I think my "break playbook and embrace creativity" is being read as "let's go back to rockstars/ninjas! Genius hackers who don't sleep and don't care about HR!!!!" which is… not how I feel haha.
It is what I'm discussing. Not sure what else there is.
The source would be the organic-traffic and Facebook analytics for all those news publications. Whatever it is now, won't this take it to 0%?

I feel like a similar thing was tried in Europe somewhere a few years ago and then quickly ditched, because all the publications saw their traffic crater.

Looks like something similar was enacted in Australia, and Google/Facbook settled: https://www.reuters.com/technology/australia-says-law-making...

And an update from Google's blog from 4 hours ago: https://blog.google/intl/en-ca/company-news/outreach-initiat...
I think the analogy is a good one but needs to be tweaked a bit.

"Rockstars" make tens/hundreds of millions or even billions. A good software engineer can make as much as a doctor (in the US) or accountant. You don't have to be a rockstar to be a 400k/year accountant.

The pay in tech has never been high enough to justify the sort of extreme talent competition in sports and hollywood. Even some of the greatest software engineers (e.g. Guido Van Rossum) are paid pretty modestly in the low seven figure range.

Real world Rockstars like Taylor Swift live a glamorous lifestyle, travel the world, and tend to work short, 2-3 hour gigs. Nobody with a rockstar personality is going to sit in a flourescently-lit office building staring at screen for 8 hours a day. No matter how many ping pong tables and free kombucha kegs there are, it is a very dull environment and does not attract the sort of ambition that rockstars have.
This is something my boss would post in his calendar publicly without even thinking of it. I guess it helps me to get ahead of it, if it were to ever happen to me, but having the rest of the company able to see it is pretty cold and unfeeling.
Yeah, I discovered this about a month ago.

I was like "I haven't checked my Yahoo mail in years...I wonder if anybody has tried to contact me." and was greeted with that notice.

Pretty bummed, to be honest. I had e-mails to my family I sent while I was an exchange student to Germany back in 2000 in that box.
This joke is probably the most this discovery will affect me in my lifetime

Every company tries to earn money, that's not a problem. The problem is when a company tries to legislate themselves to be owed money, or eliminate competition via various means, that it becomes a problem.

Companies should earn my by building good competitive products.

In a normal auction you take the highest offer, but stiff competition will cause the final offer to be too high. If we're talking about megarich people buying Rembrandts, who cares. But generally this is a bad thing: we're failing to discover the real value of the thing being auctioned, and we're being wasteful.

For bidding on jobs (e.g., highway construction) one normally takes the lowest bid, but the lowest bidder will not make any profit and might lose money on the deal, thus putting the project at risk. What might happen in those cases is that corruption takes root and the lowest bidder gets paid more money illegally.

In any case, sealed bid, second price bidding solves the problem by removing the incentive to offer the best price and instead offer the real value.

I don't think anyone seriously suggests "equality of outcome" should mean "regardless of any actions/decisions you take in life". I would treat it as meaning "given two different large subsets of society that differ markedly/measurably on key indicators, there shouldn't be a difference in average outcomes between those born into one subset vs the other". Depending on the indicators/subsets in question that may well be a worthwhile & achievable goal. Particularly if the "outcomes" being measured go beyond just material wealth (e.g. health/wellbeing outcomes).

Yeah, the biggest winner under the Canadian law will be the American hedge funds who own PostMedia, the company that owns the vast majority of Canadian newspapers. But that's good apparently, since at the least the money doesn't go to those icky tech nerds.
Very dystopian, and reminiscent of countless other "social revolutions" that happened in the not-so-distant history, all with terrifying results.
I would like to mention the LoA2K project[1] as well; an online library of missing and deleted vaporwave albums. Its website is modeled like an old Geocities page, with a fully functional web version of Winamp[2] for streaming the albums...

> Will it single-handedly fix profit-incentivized business models that exploit natural resources?

It will do this not at all, indeed. It's the materials scientists and the VCs and the investors and the logisticians and the engineers who will solve the problems. B Corp is a marketing thing to allow companies to access middle class wallet share.

And fair enough; whatever differentiates you. But it's not going to solve anything.

I'd guess that propensity to jealousy about what others make may go up with salary. Earning more money just shifts goalposts around, there will always be something you can't have and someone you're jealous of it that's your personality.

this is satire, right?
I remember there was a theorem that one can find an arbitrary substring in a long enough output of infinite (stationary) random process. I also suppose that a decimal representation of pi may count as one, then your function provably terminates.

But this is of a theoretic interest. In practice the verifier says: "I can't prove that this function will terminate within (some reasonable window), program rejected". And this is what's actually needed: a program that provably has certain properties, where an automatic proof is tractable.
I think you're suffering from a lack of imagination.

> 99% of use-cases for businesses are for the most part "solved."

History is over, technology is done advancing, every business idea has already been had and executed well, everything that can be done has already been done. Sure. And you would have said the exact same thing last year, and 10 years ago, and 50 years ago, and 400 years ago, and you would have been monumentally wrong each time. But June 29, 2023 is different. This is the first day of the end of history.

By the way, the quotes around your word "solved" stand for many things, including paying through the nose for ineffective B.S. jobs that only exist due to inertia.

> do you let your engineers re-invent the wheel so they can feel smart?

The Curiosity Rover's wheels, which were re-invented for that purpose, are getting holes in them because the kind of rocks they expected to find are slightly different. Perseverance had its wheels re-invented again to fix this. Someone should have told those so-called rocket scientists at NASA that they're only trying to make themselves feel smart! If we never re-invented the wheel, we'd all be driving around on carved stone. "But you're not NASA, loser!" you say. Why not? Why aren't you doing something new too?

> the talent alone is the difference between millions of dollars

This is still true. One single talented coder can be the difference between a multi-million dollar business succeeding or failing. I have no idea why you think this is not true anymore; my guess is that you're completely unable to recognize these people when you're around them. Don't worry, most people can't recognize them.

In before: "wow, you really think you're an underappreciated rockstar, huh?" -- potentially. Of course I can't prove it over the internet. But rockstars are as much of the product of the environment you put them in as they are their own brains. Maybe rockstars actually are more common than you realize -- maybe you're the reason they're not rocking out.

> If you have a really talented coder who can be interchanged with another really talented coder, you do not have a "rockstar."

Or maybe the shackles and chains you're putting around these talented coders are forcing them into the same sub-optimal modes where they can't shine. I suspect if you really fostered an environment where software engineers could grow, learn, and shine -- where you fucking TRUST them, in other words -- you'd find they're not so replaceable as you think.

> I don't need to work with any more software engineers who think it's okay to be a massive dick to everyone

It's never okay to be a massive dick to everyone. In my experience, dickishness is negatively correlated with skill and talent, not positively. This is not an argument against highly talented programmers.
Isn't the critique that CSS is not at the right level? It's a collection of very specific pragmatic APIs? At least during the big Houdini effort it seemed like browser vendors want to offer something lower level, that allows more and better control of the whole layout and rendering pipeline. Please correct and extend my comment if possible, because I'm admittedly now up to date with even the status of that aforementioned project.
Moreover, what is he coding. Because there is zero chance in hell Google is getting a multiple of that cost back in value from him. The value for them is that he's not working for a competitor. That's it.

The discrimination doesn't go away if you ignore it. The discrimination has continued. It still is. Not forced by the law any more, but still many times perpetrated by individuals based on other individuals' membership or a perceived group.

Not a good metric.

The ROI difference is because of both entities being in different industries, and other things unrelated to the power balance. We can similarly compare the ROI of a news organization and say a restaurant and lament that there is an imbalance of power.

I've always considered linking perfectly fine, but what to me is shady when platforms start to summarize or preview content of the link to the point where that functions as a substitute for the site.

There needs to be a distinction between reference to content and the content itself. When platforms start to profit from other people's work without their consent that shouldn't fly. Google search's primary purpose is to make links discoverable and I don't think anyone ever took offense to that. But in recent years companies have started to deliberately blur that line by showing more content upfront, essentially to turn themselves into a middleman and choke content producers. It's perfectly legitimate to not allow this.
