It's much easier for companies to influence politicians than it is for a diffuse group of people. Companies have a much more direct line between lobbying successes and increased profits so have an easy time justifying the efforts internally where citizen lobbying groups have to draw lines between diffuse harms and losses to the possibility of preventing those for a larger group of people and convince them to support the lobbying operations.
Good point. I deliberately stripped out the query string because it usually has a bunch of referral garbage in it, but it's required for pages like this. I just made a second bookmarklet with your suggestion so I can choose between the two as needed.
Nerfstudio is really great and it's nice to see the community consolidate around this wonderful open source project.

> It's about acknowledging that economic disparities and systemic challenges can limit the bargaining power of certain individuals, making it difficult for them to negotiate for fair wages and better working conditions.

It is never difficult to negotiate a fair wage. Tricking someone into paying an unfair wage, where you see greater value than you give back in return, is a lot harder. But that questions: Have you actually tricked them, or was the agreement fair all along? The reality is that any offer that is considered unfair, by either side, is rejected and a transaction never takes place. When an agreement is made, it is always considered fair. You, fundamentally, cannot work for someone for an unfair wage.

That is, assuming involved parties are holding true to the agreement made. If someone is not holding up their end of the bargain then that would be unfair, but that also introduces debt...

> It is important to recognize that the labor market is not a perfect representation of resource allocation.

There is no importance to that statement at all. It is a true statement, but it doesn't have any bearing on the conversation.

> The concept of "scarcity" in this context does not equate to the value of human labor or the potential contributions individuals can make to society.

The perception of scarcity is what drives the perceived value of human labour. If I think I can put out a job ad and see a thousand great people line up for a chance at the job, I'm not going to find much value in the work. If I think there is only one person in the world who can suitably do the job, and every other company wants to hire them too, I know it is going to take one hell of an offer to compel them in my direction.

Which brings us back to the first comment in this thread (the one before my first). That is exactly what they stated. If you think they mischaracterized the state of the world, you should take it up with them. These circles you keep us running around in are pointless.

You have so much time. You have so much time. Take a deep breath. There's still time to move forward.
Meet people that have have done a lot of drugs? Some can still function. Others, just can’t. Had an owner of a successful tech company see it fall apart because he couldn’t make decisions anymore.

Was a really nice guy, but by the end I might hire him to sweep the floors, but only with supervision.
Not sure how he’s doing now, but I imagine he’ll be homeless by some point.

He enjoyed going to burning man a lot.
I would expect to see such failed replications even if LK99 is the real deal. Getting the exact conditions correct for any sort of novel lab science is non-trivial, and often times the crucial variables might not even be measured in initial publications.

People use this fact to try to bash things like cancer research, but it is unfortunately just a fundamental problem of science. Scientific publications are not kernels of distilled truth, they are work-in-progress commits. If we waited to publish until every last detail is known, science discovery would slow to a snails pace and we would miss a ton of discoveries.

I think if the editor is a core piece of your app, you cannot really outsource it. After looking at lexical, ProseMirror, CodeMirror, etc., I am currently rolling my own. Your comments from last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31815209) are helping a lot with that!
I see, I guess you're right.
Given Labour also have not committed to reverting the anti-protest laws that were brought in by Suella Braverman, and where the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said along the lines of "now is not the time to review that" when a caller literally asked that question, I don't hold out much hope for them doing anything progressive in relation to this.
Top priorities are currently Collab + Version history in collab and improving AI integration. Word doc import and export is one of the next features we definitely want to tackle, but we don't have an exact timeframe yet. I would love to see what you are working on and how you would use word doc import and export.

Good for Reddit. These piracy lawsuits are out of control. The same culprits seem to show up every time (I guess their crappy movies didn't make enough money):

The film companies seeking Reddit users' identities include After II Movie LLC, Bodyguard Productions, Hitman 2 Productions, Millennium Funding, Nikola Productions, Rambo V Productions, and Dallas Buyers Club LLC.
Unlike Go, many Rust installs happen not through a package manager, but through Rustup. That's a perfect avenue to add useful opt-in telemetry, while making the privacy fundamentalists happy. If somebody is installing Rust interactively through Rustup, ask them whether they want telemetry or not, if they're installing from anywhere else, assume they don't. It feels like the perfect compromise for Rust, there's no way to have telemetry on without specifically agreeing to it, but there's a large enough percentage of users who would see that prompt to still make the limited opt-in data useful.

Oh goodness... you can't be serious? Have you been to vancouver?

As for being insulated in your upper middle class community. I mean... every country has that. my neighborhood which is a mile and a half from downtown Portland had private security during the entirety of the riots of 2020. These are far left people (which I know based on conversations with my neighbors, yard signs, and who they vocally proclaim they're voting for) and they all collectively decided to hire private companies to ensure the rif-raf doesn't get in. It's exactly like that now. In my own neighborhood, there's nothing, but if you cross the street to the 'wrong side of the tracks' so to speak, it's like an apocalypse (getting better thankfully, due to the recent increase in policing)

> I won't buy a vintage leather jacket unless it has either a Talon or Serval zipper, for example.

You're might be correct on this front if the jacket is fron the mid-to-late 20th century - but as noted in the video today Talon is no more (it still technically exists but as a brand of an HK company). It's pretty much the same story: while YKK is definitely improving, a siginificant factor too is how (usually American) leading companies are cheapening their products because the brands are established (which won't affect in the short term but definitely adds up over the decades).

It seems like around 2/3 of the base would be reset in 10 years, if each house has an equal, random chance to be sold. I think the reality is smaller homes change hands more often and larger homes less often, meaning the chance that a larger home changes hands in a given decade could easily be less than half.

(And naturally, the longer a house is held, the longer it’s likely to be held, even without Prop 13, but Prop 13 makes it a stronger sticky force.)

Financial consequences is so vague. Of course I suffered "financial consequences", I had to give them money in exchange for my drink in the first place! Of course they mean severe repercussions, but the way it's worded it, I just had to say yes.
I can think of few things likely to befall a drug user that are more devastating and costly to society than a long period of incarceration.
i agree with no criminal penalties for drugs, but your justification seems ignorant of the negative externalities. i think a better justification is simply that the tradeoffs from legalization are worth it
I'm not arguing for prohibition. The point was more that despite its ills, society does not treat people who consume alcohol as harshly as society treats people who consume other substances that are arguably no worse, or possibly less harmful.

Not a value judgement, just an observation about current attitudes around mind altering substances.
Perhaps guard the boarders so not nearly so much is crossing. Would also help stop human trafficking. Just a thought.
Reads more like 'fake it till you make it'
Excerpt from that article:

"Experts argue that drug policy focused on jail time is still more harmful to society than decriminalization. While the slipping results here suggest the fragility of decriminalization’s benefits, they point to how funding and encouragement into rehabilitation programs have ebbed. The number of users being funneled into drug treatment in Portugal, for instance, has sharply fallen, going from a peak of 1,150 in 2015 to 352 in 2021, the most recent year available."

It did work well. It doesn't now. What changed in between then and now is funding and commitment to getting addicts into treatment-- the founding principle of the program to begin with.
From what is written here in the article it sounds to me that unlike the Portugal jurisdiction they are trying to emulate, Oregon really hasn't followed through on building out the required health measures, that is treatment, that is required to go hand in hand with decriminalization for the entire concept to be a success.

It's very easy to change legislation and deregulate. A lot harder to actually spend the money to build out a robust system of healthcare.

Deregulation is a necessary step in order to treat addiction as a disease best fixed with healthcare, but it can't be the single only step.

It's dispiriting that people are looking at Oregon struggling through the implementation details and thinking that the whole idea was a mistake and we need to go back to decades old drug war tactics. Not clear at all how those approaches would succeed in this moment as the new problem of fentanyl and toxic drugs has made things worse than it has ever been.

The notion that we need to give up and go back to the old ways seems more like a knee jerk reaction and flight to safety of what we've always done.
They were underachieving for 2 centuries, ceasing to kill their own citizens by millions and imprisoning anybody who tried to think for themselves is enough to grow if you did so for a long time. But it does not make you a new hegemon.

I highly doubt they can preserve their pace of growth for next few decades without significant changes to the regime and liberalization.

Once they return to the mean - they will very likely slow down. Arguably they already did (3% official growth last year + people accusing them of falsifying data for 1-2 percentage points of growth each year would make them already grow slower than some western countries, including the US).
People can do things like take loans against their investment gains, use that money for other investing. It can absolutely be invisible to the IRS as they skirt tax laws.

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Node/TS, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Pypy) | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other techo-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!
More details would help. But, in general, when trying to solve a very big problem, it helps to break it into several small problems, and start solving them instead.
That's pretty condescending all around.

Of my current direct reports, I have 2 folks who couldn't wait to get back to the office full time, a number of folks (including me) who go to the office maybe 1-2 days of the week, and the rest never come to an office. My office folks go in because they like a firm separation between work and home and like seeing their friends in person. Same with us casual office types; I go in because there's conversations that move faster to better outcomes when had face to face. Exactly how are we wrong? Why do you care?

And while I know you won't believe this, but the middle managers job hasn't changed: all the bullshit they had to deal with so you don't is still there.
PRC/TW is an unfinished civil war prolonged by US. Ultimately that's all there is to it. Civil wars end when one side defeats the other or some kind of mutual formal settlement. PRC won't settle for anything other than unification. Reunifying against US who sustains the divide in the first is just as signficiant.

Entire US can blockade PRC is old/irrelevant narrative now. The basis is US can unilaterally blockades with little cost to itself. Thats no long true. PRC has established mutual homeland vunerability on CONUS - they can conventionally degrade US critical infra via long range strikes which is just blockade further down the extraction chain. TLDR is resource autarky means nothing wihtout security. US gained shale/energy autarky but lost security relative to PRC. Hence US less likely to blockade PRC to disrupt PRC mainland if PRC can exact proportional cost on CONUS at scale - something US adversairies historically could not do. Which makes TW fair accompli even more irrelevant - PRC's ultimate strategic goal is to displace US military out of east asia / her back yard. They benefit and are designing a military around a protracted war with US+co (JP/SKR/PH). Basically bulk of PRC/PLA modernization is designed to fight US because TW is a freebie if US military challenged to point where it can't intervene in IndoPac at all.
dems can do many thing, but they don't because they need something for next election.
It probably has no applications in transmission. Trans losses arent that high; not enough to justify refurbishing the grid.

The electrical resistance per se is actually not that interesting. Certainly not for energy loss. Electronics would benefit, especially CPUs if transistor switching doesn't heat the interconnects above the transition T (the actual cpu is much hotter than the package where the thermocouple is).

High quality (as in high Q) passives would be cool. Think very good capacitors and inductors for filtering. Super cond. caps wouldn't be great for energy dumping since high B fields kill the superconducting effect.

The magnetic properties are more interesting. MRIs w/out crygenic cooling, mag levitation without stabilization.

Apparently there are quantum applications too, but Im not too sure about those but my physicist friend is super excited (in a bad way) for quantum computers now.

If this pans out we're looking at an unexpected revolution.
As an American who drives a subcompact, I kinda do have something against people who buy an unnecessarily big SUV/truck -- when they hit me, I die and they walk away -- so they feel safer and drive less cautiously than they should.
> The WMF told Indy Week that they had not received the letter and that the letter that had been made public contained an incorrect postal address for the WMF's headquarters

I wonder if the lawyer did it on purpose. They've probably had enough dealing with an unreasonable client so they made a few "mistakes" to blow the case up so the city can get a new official and they won't have to deal with them any longer.

If you listen to the linked video of the official yelling obscenities and acting unprofessionally, imagine working for them. On one hand, they'll do what they are told, on the other, mistakes "just happen". And look at that, they are not seeking re-election any longer, sounds like a "win" for the attorney.
> A big issue with constant retraining is going to be the self referential consumption of it's own generated material as training material

That's just a hypothetical scenario. Usually LLMs don't generate text used indiscriminately to train new models.

In creative tasks, the generated texts are the result of multiple explorations and corrections, filtered by the user, then posted online and commented on by other people. So there is plenty of correction and feedback mixed into the process. A child model could learn something from this feedback.

Then there is code and math, where it is possible to run tests or double check by a different method. These tasks could be iteratively improved by LLMs by incorporating the feedback.

Another field ripe with feedback signals is using LLMs in games and simulations, where you can specify a goal easily but finding a solution requires search and learning.

And a related application was RLHF, where a preference model was trained on human judgments and used to fine-tune a LLM. That preference model can be used to filter bad training data as well.

To generalize, LLMs alone can't do it, but LLMs with external systems can get feedback and improve. The garbage-in-garbage-out scenario can be avoided with a bit of external feedback.
I find using main a little obnoxious, but like who cares that much?
