Engineering undergrads are now required to take an ethics course at the university I studied at. Clearly they are all immediately disqualified from STEM hiring.

I think what's actually going on is people in industry just take a dim view of academic liberals, and so use a crypto anti-intellectual argument to rationalize against people with academic backgrounds.

Sure, there is a risk that the more one knows, the more they might use knowledge to rationalize. Academics (yes, academics) have pointed out this problem, from knowledge about psychology to knowledge about politics (and probably some dead philosopher has mentioned this issue as well!). But that is a risk and not a disqualification.

If it can set it to `cowsay ...`, it can presumably also set it to anything else. Like, a subshell that looks for and uploads interesting data (e.g. .env files) to some pastebin and then pops you the paged output you're expecting?
Its a common naivete of older technical folk who are used to being in a "special category" of people who know what X tool is and how to use it. They view other people consuming adverts as the answer while they know how to get around them. Except that, now, Brave and similar poducts mean everyday users utilise these tools too, so no adverts get viewed.

I think paywalling something but with a much lower on the spot cost, as an instant microtransaction without an account.
This rhetoric is well past its peak. When the firings happened, people said twitter would crash in a week. It's been a long time since then, and twitter, for my very generic uses and purposes, has just gotten better.

Demonizing past hard decisions at every unrelated point of difficulty has to be the worst kind of toxicity there is.
The service seems to be under massive load from the influx of users over the weekend, and they've passed 200k users, posting activity is a few times higher vs "the normal"

So they probably could get even more users, but I'm guessing it's already sufficiently crazy for the team right now

Yeah but these missile strikes have been hitting high value targets like air fields and troop barracks.

Regardless of if they can’t defend these areas because they don’t have the systems or the systems cannot intercept them it doesn’t bode well.

French protesters ram car into mayor’s house
Places that big tech was not interested in (eastern europe - poland, czechia, slovakia) actualy have competition and while its been condensing (allegro buying lots of competition) there are still many players.

Its funny amazon has major warehouses in poland and czechia (fulfillment to germany) but they dont even have czech store. You can buy from amazon.de and have it delivered to czechia but amazon doesnt compete on the market. They try with amazon.pl but i dont think its very popular. Lots of the other companies have things like pickup at physical stores (using packeta.com) or nonstop storage boxes that are everywhere in cities. Amazon would have hard time competing there so why bother.

It might show that amazon sttopped inventing in the space. I think its more likely that companies like that will start to successfully compete with amazon in germany. Then again amazon would probably just buy them if it was too threatening.
I think it was more an interesting way to go. I mean rich people die in everyday car crash doesn't get headlines but people die in deep sub to the Titanic or on space mission to the moon etc do.

YouTube wasn't killed and thrived as a platform throughout the process. Meanwhile YT ads funded the lawsuits and negotiations, with a surplus. It is pretty much a solved problem now. This is as peaceful as it gets when you genuinely infringe on someone's very valuable rights.
The ego here is palpable. Asking candidates to trust the first offer from a hiring manager is equally terrible advice.

> I realize you don't really care about us vs Adobe, you are going for the best bid.

Er yeah. It's a job. Unless you're OpenAI right now, you'd be hard pressed to find a candidate who means it when they say they love your company vision. It's all theatrics and gate keeping by ego massaging. It's a rite of passage for junior devs to believe words like yours until they find fresh grads earning double their pay, and getting dumped onto the streets during layoffs.

To the junior devs: Passion and enthusiasm are positive attributes for a team's productivity, but they are equally fantastic traits for hiring managers to exploit. Never forget that. From: A very jaded senior engineer who has seen a lot from startups to tech shops to big tech.

Whatever it does, i won't run it and i strongly advice to do the same.

chatGPT says:

This bash script is designed to play Rick Astley's song "Never Gonna Give You Up" in the terminal. It uses audio and video files of the song to provide the full experience. Here's a breakdown of what the script does:

It sets some variables, including the version of the script and the URLs for the audio and video files.
There are some color codes defined for displaying text in different colors.
The script defines a few functions: "has?" checks if a command is available, "cleanup" kills the audio process if it's running, and "quit" displays a closing message.
The "usage" function displays information about the script's usage and options.
The script processes the command-line arguments. If the argument is "help" or any variation of it, the usage information is displayed and the script exits. If the argument is "inject", it appends a command to the user's bashrc file.
The script sets up signal handlers for interrupt and exit.
The "obtainium" function is defined to fetch a URL using either curl or wget, depending on availability.
The script hides the cursor and clears the screen.
Depending on the availability of certain commands, the script fetches and plays the audio and video. On Mac OS, it uses "afplay" to play the audio; on Linux, it uses "aplay"; and on Cygwin (a Unix-like environment for Windows), it uses "play" from the "sox" package.
The script fetches the video and plays it while synchronizing the frames to match the desired frame rate.
Overall, the script is a fun way to play Rick Astley's song in the terminal, providing both audio and video components.
Many old wind farms still have a subsidy for several years that makes it profitable for them to produce even with some negative prices.

Coal seems to be shut off: https://grid.iamkate.com/
Yep, pretty much coming from power plants that cannot shutdown quickly or economically. Sometime it's much cheaper to pay someone to use it up than shutting and bootstrapping again.
We're going around in circles, so this is the last post I'll do on the matter, but I hope you appreciate the irony of advocating for a bottom-up approach when you can't even convince the two people you've been speaking with to agree.
I'm thinking we need even smarter meters/battery chargers etc that monitor the current price. Or -eg- rig up the washing machine to a pi/arduino/other or so to start up once the price hits 0 at a negative dp/dt (where p is price). Now it makes sense for some electronics to have a network connection for this kind of info!
I think the fundamental difference is that Google was using request hedging within their own network, sending the same request to two different internal servers in case one was slow, while Twitter appears to be sending the same request to the same server over the public Internet.
>> A nuclear power plant's approximately twenty thousand safety components have a Rube Goldberg quality. Like dominoes, numerous pumps, valves, and switches must operate in the required sequence to simply pump cooling water or shut down the plant. There were innumerable unlikely combinations of failures that could cause an accident

Query: Is anything this complex designed this way today, without actually running all its failure modes through risk analysis before actually building it?
Aluminum smelting isn’t all that dispatchable.

During times of crisis, it can be idled, but the reduction units aren’t designed to turn on and off subject to the whims of the market- capital equipment and labor to run it aren’t going to work at a 10 percent duty factor.
You could say that it forces you to define long living entities that own memory and lend it to short-lived objects.

In the process you avoid use-after-free, double-free, and accessing unallocated memory because the borrowers always live shorter lives than the owners, and can only access borrowed and thus allocated memory that is deallocated once the owner dies, and there is nobody else who can use it or free it once more.
Nothing about the auction is incompatible with that. If we don't have enough civil engineers this can be addressed by paying them more. What we're willing to pay is the ultimate measure, and really the only measure that matters-- of the supply/demand equation.
GPT would be a lot more useful if it were able to mark sections where it "isn't confident that it can do well". Another thing would be an iterative approach that includes compiling and testing the code.

Essentially, you want to build an artificial programmer ("junior dev") who can work with a better developer/manager. That seems to be the way in the short-term. Doing this by just single-shot text transformation is a lot harder. Humans can't really do that neither.

According to Wikipedia, there was less than 200k people evacuated for Chernobyl.
Also, if you take a 30km radius, multiplied by the population density of California, you get only 274k people. (And I'm pretty sure that the powerplant are build in area which are less populated than the average).

As we leaned since, 30km radius is probably over-doing it.

That's considering the life of someone being evacuated to be "ruined"

Chernobyl is also not Three Mile Island. Chernobyl is so exceptional that it shouldn't be included in these discussions at all unless you're literally planning to build an RBMK reactor with out a containment building again and graphite tipped control rods.
Well the first OCP specification more than 10 years ago specced 13kW per rack. ORv3 is up to 30kW now, some vendors are pushing 40 and more. So maybe I'm missing something, didn't really seem like density was a major point of difference there.

And not one in particular, there's just a bunch that have sprung up around OCP over the past decade. None that I'm aware of that are doing everything that Oxide does, but we were talking more about the mechanical, electrical, and cooling side of it there -- they do seem to do okay with power density.
According to wikipedia:

> Funding for all short-term health care is 50% from employers, 45% from the insured person and 5% by the government.

> "someone else’s computer” _is_ infrastructure. _everything_ you run in cloud runs on someone else’s computer.

That's meaningless pedantry. You don't talk nor care about infrastructure when you're adding a controller to one of your services, or when a container scales up.

The only thing that matters are the relevant attributes like performance and operational costs. You don't care if running a task in the background ends up scaling up your service, just like you don't care about that when running the same task in a function-as-a-service service like AWS Lambda. You only care if your system is stable and the invoice you get at the end of the month.

If your mental model cares about meaningless low-level details that do not factor in your operations, your mental model is brokenand you have no business lecturing others on how they are doing things wrong.

> Seriously? You do not need some kind of authentication to call your lambda?

You don't, if you configured them right.

> The lambda does not need access to some kind of private data to store its results?

What? It does not have any extra requirements than calling them from a service running on EC2, ECS, Fargate, EKS, whatever. It's an internal AWS service that, just like any AWS service, is covered by AWS' access management. In fact, arguably it has less requirements, specially considering least-privilege policies.

> I think it is naive to state that introducing lambdas into the architecture of an application does not have an impact on the infrastructure you need for it.

I argue that talking about infrastructure when talking about function-as-a-service is ignorant and naive, and reflects lack of insight and first-hand experience which materializes in a mental model that's fundamentally broken.

And people suffering from this problem should not be making bold statements about something they know nothing about.
Yeah they survived but I think we're worse off in a world of Content ID, copystrikes, erosion of fair use, theft of ad revenue by game companies. The list goes on. YouTube should probably be a lesson, not a model to copy.
Landlords don't need to become MPs in order for MPs to become landlords or for their interests to emerge as it would with any other contingent with shared interests making up 18% of sitting MPs.

> Indeed, there have been many policies detrimental to landlords e.g. removal of mortgage interest income tax relief.

For all we know there would have been more legislation of this kind if they hadn't been there.

Aside from that, why is it that, since the majority of MPs are aligned with major parties and major parties pay for prospective MPs to run, and since MPs are remunerated well above average and have lavish expenses compared to the rest of us, that they would become bankrupt?

On top of that, they can earn big money if they get into cabinet[1], and they don't even lose that much when they leave[2]:

> For MPs defeated at the 2019 election, the average loss-of-office payment was £5,250 – equivalent to just under one month of their £84,000 salary.

The average UK salary for that year (2019):

> The Office of National Statistics has released its provisional update of the UK Average Salary 2019, showing that the average full-time salary is £36,611 and average part-time salary is £12,495.

The study you are linking is written by four authors, three of which are without any climate science credentials (at least two are nuclear physicists). One of those three has been disowned by a former institute he has worked at because of his unfounded claims regarding climate change (or the supposed lack thereof): https://it-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Franco_Prodi?...

These quotes are from the IPCCC (which represents the consensus of thousands of climate scientists) sixth assessment report from 2021:

"The frequency and intensity of hot extremes (including heatwaves) have increased, and those of cold extremes have decreased on the global scale since 1950 (virtually certain). This also applies at regional scale, with more than 80% of AR6 regions1showing similar changes assessed to be at least likely."

"The frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation events have likely increased at the global scale over a majority of land regions with good observational coverage. Heavy precipitation has likely increased on the continental scale over three continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. Regional increases in the frequency and/or intensity of heavy precipitation have been observed with at least medium confidence for nearly half of AR6 regions, […]"

"More regions are affected by increases in agricultural and ecological droughts with increasing global warming (high confidence)."

"The average and maximum rain rates associated with tropical cyclones (TCs), extratropical cyclones and atmospheric rivers across the globe, and severe convective storms in some regions, increase in a warming world (high confidence)."

All from https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/chapter/chapter-11/

This stuff is complex, as is correctly interpreting the available data. But sure, go with the opinion of four random Italian dudes over the consensus of literally thousands of subject matter experts.

Alphabet people talking about Twitter on Mastodon
Well we may learn the hard way. Lots and lots of good old regular people have quit Facebook and stay off Twitter and many other engagement-optimized platforms. These companies have a poor reputation, for good reason. It’s just not 2010 anymore, and the cracks are starting to show. If a new platform such as bluesky, activitypub or Nostr becomes dominant, people will certainly point to this era in particular as a precursor.

Network effects are real, but appear insignificant until they’re in our faces. The fact that it’s currently a minority is expected, that’s just how network effects work. It was just a minority on Reddit when Digg was the place to be as well.

Obviously I don’t have any magical predictive abilities. But the “vocal minority” argument has bitten a lot of people before. Including those that have stake in the game and are paranoid about competitors.

While generally true it needs to be noted that health insurance is very expensive in Switzerland.

I'm not complaining since, first, this is a political decision and second, the level of service is outstanding.

For example: psychotherapy is paid for or, if your doc orders an MRI you get an appointment after tomorrow.

There's also no such shit as in network health providers (exceptions apply for some insurance models) or pre-existing conditions for the basic health plan (which is still pretty good and comprehensive).

While I do think that it's an overall good system it is expensive (and subsidized for people who can't afford it).

Also, health insurance is mandatory.
