What I feel is there may be some princples of leadership which overlap, but Military and Civilian leadership is essentially different.

In the military the lower ranks are mostly trained with drills to follow orders unquestionningly. The creativity is mostly left to Specops/Intelligence.

In the civilian world, even the lower ranks get to at least debate.

These symmetries come up in lotteries. The lottery ticket hypothesis says that within an overparameterized ann exists a smaller sparser neural network that behaves at least as good as the original one and learns faster.

Re the example; yes that is correct; a permutation is simply a row-wise shuffled identity matrix, it doesn’t affect the gradients or performance.
His Twitter version of this thread goes back to 1912, I think the Mastodon one just got cut off somehow? https://twitter.com/paulisci/status/1682459194589433857?s=20
A nice counter-example is Finnish (and other Finno-Ugric languages) – back in the early 1900s it was argued that Finns as an ethnicity must have originated from the Urals because the language seemed to have its roots there. (Notably in the era's racial "science" this had clear racist implications.) But modern genetics have revealed that the origins of the people are quite separate from the origins of the language.

As someone, who jumps between neovim and emacs on a regular basis - no, neovim is much faster. If speed and general snappiness is your most concern you should stay with neovim.

But, emacs is in most cases fast enough, faster than vscode and has other advantages.

I think people do want to work when they can enjoy and feel pride for the fruits of their labor. But often the fruits of labor in our economic system either don't pay the bills, aren't worthy of pride, or are almost entirely enjoyed by someone else in exchange for a small wage.
When did anyone want to actually work? Everybody strives for as much as possible of money at at least possible work needed to get that money.

But the question has edge cases where some reforms should be done.

1) On one hand you have businesses that want people to do a lot of work for not enough money and then complain... in my country, that means that either the right government gives them foreign workers, because they "care" about the business, or the left government giving them foreign workers, because they "care" about the people (even if foreign).

There are many ways to solve that (eg. minimum wage for foreigners should be higher than the average for local workers in the same field, so if local workers doing job X get paid on average Y amount of money every month, you shouldn't be able to get a foreigner unless you pay that foreigner eg. 10% above average Y.. so you first have to try to get a local at above average local pay to do it, and if there are really no locals available, even at above average pay, only then you get someone from abroad.

2) The second problem is, that in some countries (eg. mine), you still have a relatively large percentage of people not working and getting social benefits... on one hand, social benefits are needed to help people when there is no work available, on the other, with all the benefits possible, some abuse of the system and maybe some under the table work, you're better off than someone actually work 8h per day.

Forcing someone to get a job at a company is impossible, since they intentionally act incompetent and no company wants someone who doesn't want to work and just wants to get fired, but community service could still be an option. Depending on the physical capabilities (if you're a paraplegic, you can't be picking up trash by the highway) some community service tasks would be given out, people who should be job-seeking (without that, you can't get the benefits) would calculate that an actual job pays more, and the taxpayers would get something back for the money they pay for "lazy bums", who suddenly wouldn't be as lazy as before, since they'd be keeping the streets clean. Sure, it's not a perfect system, some nuances between the ideal and realistic have to be solved, but social benefits abuse has been rampant in many many countries, not just mine (former socialist one), but even large and "organized" ones, such as germany ( https://www.dw.com/en/duisburg-police-make-arrests-impound-l... )

I spend more time in the Bay Area than I would like to. Despite everyone being outwardly extremely “progressive”, people in SFBA are generally extremely insular and bigoted. This expresses itself in many ways, including racism when the other person thinks you’re not the race they’re talking about (and it’s definitely not the exclusive provenance of whites).

My own recent anecdote: For context I’m white, but I speak Spanish, lived for a time in South America, and ended up marrying a US-born Mexicana. I wanted to get some legit Cali-Mex food while I was on a trip so got an Uber over to Mission and 24th which is a predominately Hispanic area. My Uber arrives and it’s a hippie-looking white woman in a Prius /covered/ in left-wing bumper stickers including one that said “Stop Racism” and a BLM sticker.

So we make small talk on the way, when we get to my destination and as I’m about to open the door to step out she says to me “be careful, this area isn’t so safe, there’s a lot of Mexicans.” I don’t know how to react exactly so I just leave. As I’m walking around looking at restaurants I realize nearly every street parked car is a relatively new import luxury vehicle. So it’s safe enough to street park your $100k car, but I need to watch out for those scary Mexicans.

As a white person I encounter this stuff a lot outside of work where people feel comfortable “confiding” their racism to me. For the record I gave her 1 star in Uber. The more left-leaning an area in the US, the more affluent and white it tends to be and the more likely I am to encounter casual racism.
If you build it, still nobody will come.

This stigma, not by coincidence, is reinforced by economic elites. It’s part of their playbook, and they are pretty convincing for a lot of people.
It's pretty simple really.

If the reward from working is barely enough to cover the necessities, then there is technically no difference between working as a free citizen, and being forced to work as an indentured servant, other than a vague notion of freedom, which in that case is the freedom to decide between working and living on the streets.

And people don't like being indentured servants. History should have made that clear by now.

People want perspective. In the past, a working man could support a family of five, buy a house, a car and afford vacation once or twice a year, plus save enough to retire comfortably.

Today people, despite burning themselves out in their job, struggle to pay rent in a flat shared with other working people, after loading themselves up with 100k in students debt, and no chance in hell to ever own property of their own.

If the powers that be want people to be willing to work, that work has to pay off.

If it doesn't, well...we're at the beginning of a retirement wave unprecedented in human history. 2 low-birthrate generations to follow. And our entire economic system is designed around constant growth.

I leave doing the math on that as an exercise for the reader.
You missed the big one:

If you can find reliable evidence across time, space and cultures that humans have complained about the same X, then complaining about X is part of human nature in, at least, cultures that leave durable evidence.
It must be a compact convex set. The entire reals is not compact.
My theory is that this is all true, and it’s fantastic. Generally, over the last century, in year X, nobody wants to work anymore compared to year Y (Y < X).

This is a success of social democracy and it is a success of technology. We can afford to have people work less hard and still be richer than we ever were. It’s the success story of western progress and the rest of the world is going through the same steps as we speak. That a few old-fashioned managers are surprised they can’t get people at the same bad terms as before is just a symptom of a very positive development.

Your fusion point doesn't make any sense. The economics aren't great because the equipment required is expensive. A big part of that with current popular designs is the magnetic confinement. Swap out liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors for RTSC and that piece of the puzzle becomes much more appealing, for the exact same reason MRI becomes smaller/simpler (which you admit is viable in the next point).

True enough, but you do get a bit more than just storage from tarsnap. S3 provides storage and an API for uploading things to it, but you can’t just back up your files to S3. You have to figure out what files have changed, compress them, encrypt them, and index them so you can retrieve them again later, etc, etc. That’s a non–trivial amount of software to write. It’d be really great if someone had already done so… Oh look, someone did!

I could imagine purchasing that software for a one–time price, running it myself, and paying AWS for storage. But then I’d have to monitor it, troubleshoot outages, maintain things, etc, etc. Or I could pay someone else to do all of that. I’m not currently a customer, but I know which I prefer.

In high school I had a friend who received a pretty cheap car as a gift from his grandmother. I was with him when we were stopped and essentially harassed for some 30 minutes. We all knew it was the car and the disparity to the nicer neighborhood we were in.

His parents knew it too. He literally never once drove the car again and got rid of it soon after. They continued to let him drive their cars until college.

I agree that sublime is a fad and maybe atom. Sublime’s biggest mistake imho way their proprietary model combined with a plugin system, it’d probably be better to either make it free or make it very ease to use. I don’t see eclipse or VSCode as fads though. To my knowledge eclipse is the only way to develop Java code on Linux platforms without paying for richer tools (let’s face it, eMacs or vim doesn’t have much support for Java). Also Microsoft seems very invested in VSCode
If the US still made things and still made children, it could do a lot better than it is.

I always thought of D as a better C++, not a better C. But at the time D showed up, C++ still showed some promise (in that sense it is right that D might have been too early, the C++ fatique hadn't set in yet for most C++ users, so why switch to D).
Brouwer's fixed point theorem only applies to compact convex sets.

Infinite lines don't work, as they are not compact.

Similarly a circle would not work as it is not convex (you're close with your example, you just need to glue together the endpoints to turn it into a circle and make the map continuous).
IPv6 is work, but it's not that much work if your networking or hosting provider already supports it (as is claimed in this case).

Address classification changes are real work. I haven't done heavy benchmarks, but bigger addresses and everything else probably does add up to a measurable server performance drop, but that's balanced by real world networking performance improvements for users with nasty network stuff on IPv4 and less for IPv6. Otoh, I'd guess HN isn't bottlenecked by networking anyway.
> it does it by reselling S3 at 10x the cost.

Github resells a free product with a fancy UI. Stripe resells visa and mastercard by adding a 5x surcharge to card transactions. Steam resells stripe by adding a 30x markup on that (it doesn't, it uses worldpay but the point stands). Calendly resells an open calendar for $12/month.

This is a reductive argument that doesn't really show why people pay for services. Tarsnap doesn't resell S3 at a 10x markup, it sells a backup service for $0.25/GB/month.

That said,

> it does it by renting a single EC2 server that will bring the service down if it needs to reboot

Yeah, and honestly it's pretty unbelieveable that there's not _two_ servers.

The Hallucination Problem: Why LLMs Are Unsafe for Beer
As a tech lead, the big problem I see now is that people are not hungry anymore. The best engineers I've ever worked with were consistently asking for more and leveling up the team at the same time. Now, the post-covid hires, especially the junior engineers, just do the bare minimum to scrape by, and they seem totally unbothered by it.

One new hire on my team spends upwards of 2 hours per day "walking her dog." I even called this out during a formal performance review and her behavior hasn't changed at all. (Work-from-home abuse is another component of this observation.)

It sounds like you ignored the point completely and just switched to personal attack.

Do you agree or not that any law limiting hiring practices should be justified or not?

If so, how do you justify religion over other criteria that are personal choices of the candidate like style, cleanliness, politeness etc?

How do you even propose to discover criteria if you start with a clean list?

I generally agree about the business point, but you seem to belive religion has no impact on fulfilling one's duties regardless of the nature of business, which is dubious even in common important professions like doctors.

Yes, and tax dollars are also used for beneficial things. Please list those too. Philanthropy can be used to fund suffering-inducing things, so indeed, this is multi-faceted. The point is not that philanthropy can or cannot be useful, the point is that money hoarded is extremely inefficient and wasteful of the usefulness and utility of money (because there are certainly diminishing returns to its utility) -- in a system afforded by the government itself. Life is fleeting, thus so is your experience of your wealth.
I largely agree (and consequently upvoted) that it’s not meaningfully socialist and only superficially anti-capitalist, but I don’t see how it is some kind of liberalism when it is criticized precisely for being illiberal. I get the feeling that “liberal” here (and perhaps to leftists in general) means “supporting/tolerating capitalism” and has little to do with, say, opposing racially discriminatory (i.e., “race conscious”) policies. I’m also not sure what you mean when you say it is concerned with individual concerns—it seems very concerned with collectives—identity groups specifically. In my experience, these people will argue that because the average whites person is wealthier, more privileged, etc than the average minority, any given white person in any interracial conflict (even if race isn’t germane to the conflict) should yield to the minority party irrespective of the wealth/privileges of either individual. Phrases like “we don’t need to hear what another white male says” as though all white men share a collective opinion.

On this, the communists and paleo-conservatives can agree:

The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors”, and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment”. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom — Free Trade.

(Of course, Marx had no love for ancien regime, while the conservatives did.)

The Article 16 of the act states strict regulation on taking maps, photos, the results of a survey, or any land surveillance data abroad, because of the likelihood that it could harm South Korean national security interests.
