Well, let's start with the title. It is simply not true that anything on a cruise ship is "nearly lethal". Cruise ships are ridiculously safe environments compared to the rest of the world. Just about the only place you're going to be safer is on an airplane. Even your own home is almost certainly more dangerous than a modern cruise ship.

The other thing that really struck me was his characterization of the cruise environment as "an enormous primordial stew of death and decay." It isn't, at least not any more than anyplace else on the planet. Sure, boats rust, but so what? This is just another example of the continual struggle of life against the Second Law. This entire planet is "an enormous primordial stew of death and decay." It is, of course, also an enormous nursery of life emerging from that death and decay. That's just the Way It Is. Cruse ships are just part of the human phenotype, no different from any other artifact. Nothing lasts forever. Getting maudlin about it is a choice.

Some other random examples: he renames the ship from Zenith to Nadir as a dark joke, but then he keeps referring to her that way. The micromanagement he describes on page 37 doesn't happen, except insofar as the staff will try to be helpful in allowing you to make the most of your limited time.

Reading back over it I guess the problem is not so much blatant factual inaccuracies as it is continually and unrelentingly putting the worst possible spin on every detail of what is actually a very enjoyable experience -- if you allow it to be, which he emphatically did not. The most charitable interpretation I can come up with is that this was the clinical depression talking.
Bosses i can't imagine the majority want to work in an office themselves unless they own the company.

Bismuth is a strong diamagnet, and it can enter a superconducting state (at a fraction of a degree above zero), so it's not impossible. (And lots of materials are weak diamagnets and superconduct at some point.) So it wouldn't be unheard of. That said, LK-99 would definitely be an object of lots of research if it does have those properties.
Except we all know this won’t be the case.

Inheritance was a thing in ancient Egypt 5000 years ago and probably from the beginning of humanity (if every generation had to start from zero, we would still live in caves).

I’ve worked at home my whole career. First by necessity and then by choice. If I happened to live in the same city as my job, I’d be happy to come in one or two days a week. But I’d never accept having to come into the office every day. I hate driving in traffic and I don’t get much done in the office.

Working remote has let me live and travel wherever I want. I’m planning a three to six month working vacation to Asia / Australia for near the end of the year. I currently live in a cheap cost of living location, with extremely low taxes, near family, and work in a high salary location. Best of all worlds.

That's not the reason. Very few people who can work from home can be "done with their work".

As far as I can tell the real reasons are some combination of:

* Working physically next to people generally is more efficient. Of course there are some people like Knuth who need to be undisturbed for 6 hours, but for most people the ease of communicating in the real world is a big time saver. It really is.

* The benefit of face to face meetings is bigger the more meetings you have and the more talking to people your job involves. Guess how many meetings the people making these decisions have...

* You're less likely to spend time doing house chores and whatever. I generally do a solid day's work when WFH but even I sometimes just mow the lawn or whatever. If I was at work I would probably just read HN on my phone instead but I obviously hide that better. So this isn't a good reason IMO but it is a reason.

* Companies don't like paying for fancy offices that nobody is using.

* It isn't the company that pays for the time and cost of your commute, so to them that is not a downside.

I wouldn't ever work for a company that didn't let me WFH again. The lack of commute is just too good.

But I do understand the real reasons why high up managers don't like it.
Someone needs to do the Vicuna / Wizard like training to Llama2, as I found Llama1 also was pretty useful without additional training. Llama1 with Vicuna/Wizard is awesome though.
Without perspective, it's easy to say that the bomb shouldn't have been used. Once one learns of the other details of the war, and gains perspective, it's obvious that it was going to be used.

There are plenty of people who find themselves in desperate enough situations to be taken advantage of in such a way. It is for that reason that things like social welfare and employment regulation exist today.
Definitely. Liquid cargo has a really good property of being able to go around corners and through narrow passages, as long as the rates are reasonable. And they don't tend to jam, so you don't need to store them in human accessible locations.

Of course they also slosh, which means you need some tricks to keep the sloshing from causing issues.

This conversation does bring to mind the lifting body plane Boeing thought they were going to make. I wonder how they planned to load and unload that sucker? It would have taken multiple bays to do efficiently. And I don't know how you keep the crates from shifting. In a cylindrical craft the bulkheads and the ribs are right there to brace against.

This prompt can help it clarify things:

I want you to become my prompt engineer. Your goal is to help me craft the best possible prompt for my needs. The prompt will be used by you, ChatGPT. You will follow the following process:

1. Your first repsone will be to ask me what the prompt should be about. I will provide my answer, but you will need to improve it through continual iterations by going through the next steps.

2. Based on my input you will generate 2 sections. a) Revised prompt(provid your rewittern prompt. it should be clear, concise, and easily understood by you), b) Questions (ask any relavant questions pertaining to what additional information is needed from me to improve the prompt).

3, We will continue this iterative process with me providing additional information to you and you updating the prompt in the revised prompt section until I say we are done.

No, because junior devs usually improve over time.

I've tried Copilot and a few other AI codegen tools. Aside from producing overall low quality/nonworking code, the only times they seem to get better long-term are when a new update to the model comes out.
Well then, we're all just talking donuts that absolutely ruin perfectly good food.
I think it is always about the efficiency. Both nursing and teaching is low efficiency jobs. With teaching the customers or users are poor be it students or pupils. Just take a number of students in class. And multiply that by amount of money you are ready to pay for teaching each month. Now add everything else, it just doesn't scale.

Same goes for nursing, a single nurse can only nurse so many people in single month. And it only gets worse if you want 24/7 coverage. At least with teaching you could do 6 hours teaching + 2 hours other work during weekdays.
I disagree - the human pursuit is artificially, or organically, besting its own pattern recognition wet-ware.

If we can off load the mundane (survival) aspect of our pattern recognition engine, then maybe we can use those cycles in lofty pursuits - this is the victorian fallacy.

-

Break everything down - its all patterns all the way, and how we process them... we are letting AI take on an aspect of ourself (pattern recog ;; tokens;; and prediction)

That is, if applied to self-preservation, is the essence of sentience.

Original team had 20 years to play the synthesis lottery. Maybe you tweak the setting just enough and that low resistance drops to zero. Who knows, I’m still feeling optimistic.

He said in the video that their sample was more pure than the original paper. Would be wild if some impurity is what pushes it over the edge to a full blown super conductor.

I could only find this in the EULA:

You and Apple agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California, to resolve any dispute or claim arising from this Agreement"

Steam for instance seems to impose arbitration but also has this:

"Disputes that can be resolved in small claims court or relate to the infringement of our intellectual property do not have to be arbitrated. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of accepting this EULA.

(d) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 22(b) above, the following Disputes can be resolved in court and need not be resolved through arbitration: (i) any Dispute that can be resolved in small claims court (if it qualifies); and (ii) any Dispute involving the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights."
> On the other side of the globe? I guess that wouldn't cross my mind.

Everything is interconnected. If your country is the only one on the planet that is doing well, it will not be long until resentments start brewing. If inequality stretches too far, eventually it results in instability. You can see this now with the amount of people immigrating to richer countries, both legally and illegally, and the resulting instability it causes, both in the countries that people immigrate to and those that they have left. Taken to the extreme, it eventually leads to wars between countries over resources. The United States might have the biggest military in the world, but it can't win a war against the rest of the world combined.

This is why Joe Biden came out and said that it wasn't the United States economy that worried him, but the economical weakness in the rest of the world. If people think that the United States prints money only to look after the interests of the United States, it will lose its status as the reserve currency of the world. This is already starting to happen, with China making strong inroads in Africa and Latin America with disgruntled countries that have been left behind. If America loses influence in these countries, it's power diminishes and it will only be a matter of time until it is your doctors who are being paid less than convenience store managers in foreign countries. You might not be alive to see it, but your grandchildren might be. It was only 90 years ago that it was the UK and not the United States that was the dominant world power.

Ray Dalio is quite insightful on this:

> I do like the idea that there are well paid jobs that don't require many years of schooling. Seems good for social mobility.

Only if those jobs require a similar amount of years of experience to attain. Otherwise people stop pursuing the jobs that require many years of education in favour of earning more money in those that don't and your systems start to collapse as everyone chases the easy money.[1] As Dalio explains in the video above, it is investment in education which is the first step for those countries that begin to ascend and grow.

And more complex, in implementation and usage. I like Zig too but I don't think there will ever be very good IDE integration (navigation, find usages, refactoring) given its flexibility with regard to the comptime stuff.

As the resident HN conservative, I wish the GOP would embrace bikes as a symbol of freedom. Cars are NOT tools of freedom - you are at the whim of gigacorporations and authoritarian governments like Iran.

With a bike, you move through the world, on extremely low cost infrastructure, while becoming a Fit Western Man and through Self Reliance. You don't need subsidies, you just need a bit of Strength and Forethought and all those other conservative goals.
As a parent of Autistic child, I would argue it is a correlation. It only takes a few incidents of your child running off without interest in returning by your calling to him, to make you a helicopter parent. It's also true that since your child has no interest in playing with other kids, and you are trying to teach survival and social skills, you end up spending far more time with your child than the typically developing kid.

And it is further true that in social situations the anxiety level of the autistic child increases, as does the parent, and so people viewing the situation might be biased to see a highly anxious parent with a spoiled kid, and assume the causation.

My kid loves playing in dirt, he also loves to track it into the house, no-matter how many times you tell him. We live with dirt, and autism. My kid is also a genius, so there are good things about it also.
Oh, I don’t know. I mean conceptually a simulation is just a model that changes over some axis, time being a prime candidate. I’ve seen some goofy models that use an axis other than time to create some interesting visuals. There are definitely game makers playing with some of this stuff.

Calculation may be the wrong word for what’s necessary for a simulation, but I don’t think you can have a simulation without something analogous to computing. But the computation may look foreign, think analog vs digital computers. I mean, what would it mean to simulate something if you weren’t interested in finding some measurable thing? How do you seperate the ability to observe the simulation and not be able to measure anything? I may be too steeped in engineering to be able to answer this, since the last thing I simulated was an analog circuit. But I also studied artificial life, and even there the goal was to learn something about life.
I can hope that the numbers "seized" don't include things that are returned after verification of ownership or any other exonerating circumstances. Is that tracked?

That is, this is much less concerning if the numbers are such that 90%, say, is proven illicit.
> There is no free internet without ads.

of course there is. Because there was. It existed. Eventually we got banner ads. It just got worse after that. People ran their own servers, so did companies. They paid to have their own content online for whatever reason they wished. And often you would get cut off, "so and so's website can only serve 200 requests a day, come back tomorrow." My server runs ad free for no other reason than I want it there with some of my content. Ads enabled a bigger internet and "content creators" who work full time growing the internet. The internet was just fine without these professional content creators.
I'm reminded of Goodhart's law

Yes, Casio FX-100, and have had it about 40 years.
This appears to be a great result.

"Room temperature" super conductor result? No.

But this is basically showing there is some superconductivity in the sample, and cooler temperatures expose intrinsic band structures.

Pretty exciting!

That's really not the same thing in my view. If you buy a game for Game Boy Color and try to put the cartridge into the USB-C receptacle then it won't fit.
Rosslyn, Courthouse, Clarendon, and Ballston are more walkable and metro accessible than substantial chunks of DC and are where a huge number of Arlington's residents live. It's all shinier and has less character than DC but otherwise I think your characterization of Arlington is very off.

Adopting any system of coding design whether it be Bootstarp, Tailwind, Rails, Express, etc. is overall meant to reduce the cognitive complexity of the group working on your solution.

If most people have exposure/understanding to the Boostrap way of doing things, or the Rails way of doing things, then we as a system/company/team/organization benefit when new people join the team. There's already a well established way of getting stuff done.

If we forgo the use of a system, we will end up building one anyways. But this time, it will be known ONLY to your existing team members. It could/will buck convention and established best practices, it will grow to develop the bloat and technical debt for which the existing systems were rejected.

Software engineering is about trade-offs. This is just another trade-off.
Indeed. Either the customer is fraudulent and you don’t want them again, or they banned a legitimate customer and should restore access.
Chicago. It's interesting that the article doesn't mention Chicago and its metro area at all. The Chicago metro area is still one of the largest in the US, and is relatively affordable. There are also tons of jobs here and its culture and entertainment is only rivaled by a couple cities in the US.

It doesn't just remove the need for an ICE engine, also the gearbox, fuel pump, fuel tank, radiator, exhaust system including catalytic convertor, etc.

An ICE engine is intrinsically complex to make, has many moving parts that wear out, is hot because it is inefficient at turning fuel into power. Plus, you know, the pollution.

A battery pack that holds sufficient joules is not intrinsically large and expensive any more than a 100 megabyte disk had to be the size of a washing machine and cost as much as a house, which was once the case.

Battery packs, even with current technology, cause little to no environmental damage, that is oil industry propaganda. Lithium and cobalt are fairly common, and all the cobalt we would ever need is accidentally produced as a side-effect of copper and nickel mining all over the world, that we would be doing anyway.
Summary judgments are way too common in the era of digital services. This is the kind of anti-consumer tactics I expect the EU to take a deeper look into.

As a side note, for all the good PR Apple gets for their customer service, my experience with their digital services and payments support has been subpar.

The Apple Card support is particularly atrocious, with a two-level support hierarchy where Apple cannot do anything but answer basic questions, and pretty much any serious request has to be handed to Goldman-Sachs advisors. Payments are a bit better, but half of the time I had any issues, I ended up sending an email to tcook@apple.com for the lack of responses.
I think the idea is to use humans and robots to make progress, not be complacent with existing jobs.

There's always more work to be done. There will always be details discovered that are not automated yet. There will always be new topics unexplored that robots have not been built for yet. A general purpose robot is by definition a "jack of all trades" compromise that cannot do what specialized humans do first.

This need for humans to explore is where all the progress and all the money is, and how you fight off both the bullshit jobs and AI taking our jobs.
