Physical jobs get outsourced. Look at what an Amazon driver makes compared to a UPS driver. Look at all the jobs the big three auto manufacturers have shipped to Mexico over the last 40 years.
Having studied Sutton for a long time now, what I take away from the bitter lesson is that the only pathway to Generally capable agents is to have the same scale of computational capacity in an embodied system as humans or other intelligent systems have.

It’s effectively a product of physics and so we keep trying to outsmart physics is what Suttons point is - and you just can’t outsmart physics

So, while the method probably is important in terms of efficiency or functionality within the current state of technological systems, the method is less important than the scale, and we’re not even close to the scale necessary yet.

There’s a difference between freedom of speech and education. The government did a bad thing. Anyone should be allowed to speak their piece.

We need more people to speak up when those speaking the loudest are wrong, uneducated, and unqualified to speak on the topic they’re preaching.

I get the incentive here, but it’s not the governments place to decide what we do and don’t say.

Society as a whole needs to be better at calling out the lies with hard facts and data. Because right now, it feels like the people with the most effective voices are taking us in the wrong direction.

The courts have long upheld the government's right to request action from private entities and for those private entities to comply or not to comply per their preference. That's all that happened here, just as what happened when the Trump Admin (and every administration prior) requested action from private entities.
I think Procida's thinking about examples also works pretty well for best practices and anti-patterns:

> You can and probably should use examples everywhere. I think that a well-crafted example can often illuminate something much better than a painstaking attempt to describe it fully and completely... Examples illustrate extremely effectively, whether they are illustrating how-to guides, explanation, or whatever. But examples on their own seem a bit deracinated. What are they examples of? Don’t they need context?

Best practices and anti-patterns usually work best in the context of how-to guides or references IMO

What if we are? Worst case we've significantly reduced the amount of pollution we are putting into our air, land and sea, and reap those health benefits, but not actually affected the climate one way or another.

I think the evidence for climate change is pretty strong, but it's not like it's the only reason to quit burning coal and pumping the smoke into our atmosphere or producing huge amounts of plastics.

If we act and we're right we've prevented catastrophe, if we act and we're wrong we're just healthier, and kill less of the ecosystem around us.

Yes, dual income households in $120k to $180k range would work in a LCOL area.

Although, I would never be able to sleep at night if I was counting on depending on an employer for 30 years, not only to keep me employed, but to keep paying me competitive wages when they know I have no other options.

My biggest concern is price of quality goods and services like repairmen and elder care workers and whatnot greatly increasing by the time I am old (2050s) due to demographic changes. I foresee more and more old people bidding for the labor of fewer and fewer young people. And the government chipping away at the purchasing power of the dollar to address this (since that is the easiest and maybe only thing they can do).

You seem to have some misguided ideas about management that you first need to get rid of.

- Management isn't a "next step" for developers but an entirely different career path. You don't naturally progress into it, and no one owes it to you. It takes a whole new skill set and lots of deliberate work to make the switch.

- Like any other job title, "manager" isn't handed out based on seniority but skill. If you think it is "humiliating" to get managed by someone younger than you then you don't have the right mindset for the role to begin with.

From my experience these are both more true in tech than any other industry. Getting managed by someone younger than you, someone more junior than you, someone making less money than you etc. are all very common. If you can't get used to it then you are always going to have a bad time.

As for how to switch into it – it is very unlikely that anyone is going to hire you for a management position with zero experience. If you want to grow into it your best bet is to do so at your current company. First become a leader as an IC, someone who defines technical paths, does cross-team collaboration, clears up ambiguity and someone who junior teammates can generally look up to for guidance and inspiration. If you don't meet these requirements it's unlikely you will be able to succeed – both as a manager or as a staff+ engineer.

At first glance everything you have written (can't tolerate work, feel humiliated working with younger managers, stagnant in your job, no motivation, considering lying on your resume) comes across as massive red flags, and I'm not surprised that you aren't able to get ahead. My overall advice is to take some time for reflection and self improvement and then form a plan for yourself to get out of this rut.
Then go read the fucking reports https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/ https://report.ipcc.ch/ar6syr/pdf/IPCC_AR6_SYR_LongerReport.... you can get all the numbers and studies for free on the internet.

If you can't be convinced by simple explanations and if you can't be convinced by harder explanations then you are just spreading doubts and part of the problem.

edit: "what if we are wrong" fuck that shit, it's the same shit from the crowd of "but what if we develop interstellar travels and escape climate change consequences, haha gotcha" or "we'll just invent a carbon extractor in the next 10 years for the whole planet et voilà, ah!".

I don't see why one's judgment of the situation should depend on whether the government was successful in intimidating Facebook. What matters is that they tried.

There's plenty of easy-to-find evidence out there that shows that the speed and magnitude of these changes are not only unprecedented in human history, but geologic time scales as well. It's also crystal clear that these changes are caused by the massive increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by humans burning fossil fuels. This is sorted by both theory and massive amounts of evidence. Good primers exist all across the web, http://climate.gov/ is a good starting point.

"But wait, maybe this is all just natural cycles" is borderline willful denial at this point, especially on a well-informed site like HN.

The senior developer above me is like this for me, and it’s rough because it shakes my self esteem AND often leads to me having to support and extend a fragile and changing 3rd party library to solve a rather specific problem that would be better solved with custom code.

Where it really stings is when I do something of my own initiative (like, for example, create a transparent API over memoizing and caching some expensive calculation, or refactor some of our common client customizations into their own set of classes so it’s easier to extend) and he ignores it or scoffs at it.

Only to then find a third party library that implements something similarly. THEN it’s presented to me as a “brilliant idea” that we can take advantage of.

At that point, when I say “we” already do this, he usually rephrases what his brilliant 3rd party library does, as though he can’t fathom that I would be capable of doing something like that myself, and clearly I’m just not understanding what he’s telling me.

I think it’s a defensive mechanism for his ego against one of his peers or employees being more capable than he is.

But it’s also not like he can’t learn this stuff himself, he just doesn’t ever put in the time or effort.
> The government did a bad thing.

The filing is that there is sufficient probability the government did a bad thing to issue an injunction while the court figures out if the government did a bad thing. In general, injunctions protecting freedom of speech are broadly and freely issued.

... But a rational person can ask how we protect free speech by muzzling the government in this context.
You seem to be under a misapprehension of how free speech works for the government: it doesn't. The government has no rights. It has powers. People have rights, including the right to freedom of speech. If the government is barred from doing something directly, they can't then try to do it indirectly by telling a third party to do it for them.
The Midea model you linked does not supply heat, but this Midea model does seem to have a heat pump that can supply heat:

But the page also says: "NOTE: heat pump function will not work if outside temp is 41°F or below."

The R-W-FLAME unit has about as many bad reviews as the one I linked. Maybe the reason for the lack of products/competition is as you say they "are made by the same 3 mega companies".
The work out of that group, starting with S4 layers, is 10000% the stuff to be paying attention to.

https://srush.github.io/annotated-s4/

HiPPO was brilliant - instead of working with the raw sequence, you work with its weighted laplace transform, and instead of actually computing the laplace transform you find the rule to update it when new data is added. Furthermore, we can 'band limit' the Laplace transform (similar to PCA) to keep only the 'most important' information while still preserving most of the information in the sequence - this is a common and quite effective compression technique.

Any 'fast' transformer is going to be working with some kind of sampling or aggregation or compression of the long sequence. Sampling is ultimately going to be too noisy, and standard aggregations are going to be too coarse. So the thing to bet on is better compression techniques, which is what the S4/RWKV group are ultimately working on.
Can you post links to those licenses?

Typically the licenses which don't qualify are non-commercial licenses or have rules about who can and can't use the software under those licenses, which makes them non-free/non-open source.
> tl;dr: The attention span of the person is now three seconds. If you can't grab that three seconds; next.

I don't know this is true in general. Only in very noisy environments, which is like the opposite of what a forum is. The harder you clamor for attention, the harder it is to actually capture it because you're creating an environment where capturing attention for more than three seconds is impossible.

If you create a low-noise environment, you can capture attention for a long time.

Great to see a focus on reliability, I moved back to Godot 3.5 as 4 kept crashing for me so I've been missing out on some of the new features (suprisingly, the one I was most excited about is the improvements to procedural skyboxes, and they certainly lived up to the hype)

Even the vehicles in 5+ City sets are affected by this trend. It takes about 50 parts stacked in intricate ways just to build the base chassis structure of a van, for example.

In the 1990s, Town vehicles were 4-stud wide and didn't focus on the small detailing. The instructions for the original vehicle were just a single sheet of paper with less than 20 steps. You could build the original vehicle by memory after having built it a couple of times with instructions. The back of the box suggested alternative builds, which, although looking "imperfect" were a solid base for imagination.
It's always impressive what one can justify for their children, isn't it?
That is not anywhere in the injunction.

You are taking a statement about the climate created by overreaching government demands out of context. When a government repeatedly makes authoritarian demands, it causes widespread suppression outside the scope of the initial demands.

But that has nothing to do with the specifics of the injunction. Once again people should read it, and decide if anything in the injunction restricts legitimate government free speech. (it doesn’t)
One can design a study and publish a paper to support just-about anything. The world is full of bullshit papers with bullshit conclusions. This just adds to that pile.

Interacting with the real world is extremely important. Building, painting, creating art (not on a screen), camping, swimming, getting dirty, being around people, socializing, learning through experience, laughing and crying with others, etc.

Any observant parent has seen the difference between kids staring at screens all day and those who have a more balanced life. I've seen it time and time again at birthday parties and such. There are kids who simply do not engage socially in the same manner when compared to others, and when you dig a bit, you learn they've been handed a screen as a substitute for parenting most of their lives.

Sadly, I can already see the writing on the wall. This paper, and its bullshit conclusion, is likely going to make the rounds and be used for a range of purposes, including political.

Real cars pollute much more, cost a lot, you have to take care of them, pay attention not to crash them, and you can kill innocent families with them

And even if I could, I wouldn't have the interrest to spend a decade to build a racing car that I could just crash at any time.
