Yes, that's what the paper argues too. The inventions made during the industrial revolution were so massively impactful that today's inventions are nothing by comparison.
I think you will find an extreme range in mastery in the kitchen, just like you will find it in programming, blacksmithing, construction, plumbing, or literally anything else.

In most cases, the master craftsman is orders of magnitude more efficient than the apprentice. Solving problems without any tools. Solving two or more problems at the same time (hint, hint). Etc.

The best way to approach this discussion is to respect it as a skill issue and come to terms with that reality. I think we could find a lot of constructive advice to share in this environment.

Attitude also helps. If you have the right mindset, it is a lot easier to overcome these concerns. If I really want to keep eating home-cooked meals and enjoying all of the benefits that go along with it, I would absolutely find a way to optimize these activities. At some level, you have to want it. No one is going to hand you the convenience being advertised throughout this thread. For example, I get my ass out of bed at 530AM and arrive at the grocery store as they are opening so that I can avoid crowds and get in/out in <10 minutes. I can literally go from home->store->home in ~25 minutes, but only if I do it at the right time of day. If I wait to go when everyone else does, it will take at least an hour.

Very true. However, at a certain age (10, 12, ...?) taking pub transport with the kids is liberating. And empowering, for them. I highly recommend it, as do my children.
I would say that it comes from the basic right to Justice, in where you are penalized baseed on your actions, not on things out of your control. In this case being sick is out of folks control. The business should take into account and be able to handle a given percentage of its employees being sick at a given time.

As for the right to Justice, we have these rights to allow us to live together as independent sovereign entities. A society that does not acknowledge basic rights of individuals is one where those with more power or resources will dominate those with fewer. There may not be some intrinsic physical law that requires that we have these rights, but I for one would not want to live or participate in society that does not espouse them and strive to adhere to them.

Can you expand on why these SFH's would be more expensive if the zoning policies were different?

If people prefer the flats and rowhouse, and we expand the availability of the things they prefer, wouldn't the thing they don't prefer (SFH) fall?

From the white paper on Arxiv:

“This allows runtime-efficient balancing of visual-fidelity and textual-alignment with a single 100KB trained model, which is five orders of magnitude smaller than the current state of the art.”

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.01644

It's one of those sentences that if you know what it means, you know what it means. That said, the title needs the word "personalization" inserted before the word model, e.g.:

Control over time. You decide when to do a chore or to focus on work. Coworker interruptions are out of your control.
"Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay."

The with pay term feels oddly specific and overly prescriptive. (If your society had UBI is this implying the employer still must pay you for holidays?)

I'd feel the minimum requirement to not threaten livelihood when a potentially coercive relationship exists is unpaid leave should be allowed (things like the FMLA). Though even that seems nuanced with contracting/business owners.

> We also instruct corporate users to set up Okta Verify for use only as a fallback MFA in the event that all their authenticators fail at once. This way, we never have user accounts lacking at least one strong form of multi-factor authentication.

Might as well not use a YubiKey at all. This just eliminates the benefits a YubiKey would provide. This reminds me of the banks that offer TOTP with fallback to SMS - just turns the "security improvement" into a waste of time and effort.

> We chose [Yubikey C NFC] for a few reasons: [...] 3. It doesn’t support OTP mode, so there’s no “Yubispam” to deal with

I think it does support OTP mode? Using one of these right now and it definitely supports OTP. You can turn it off, but that's not particular to the C NFC.

An aside: YubiKeys are great, I love them... but they need to have a display to show what, precisely, you're authenticating with, or signing, etc. You can never trust your computer's display - Ledger/Trezor's hardware wallets have the right idea. IMO current standards fall short in not providing this information to the hardware authenticator.
“Superposition” seems to be another term used for this. Although, it implies a mechanism instead of just a behavior.

"Key findings from the analyses include:

The length of the annual fire weather season has increased by 14 days per year (27%) during 1979-2019 on average globally and the frequency of days with extreme fire weather has increased by 10 days per year (54%) during 1979-2019 on average globally.
Fire weather has risen significantly in most world regions since the 1980s. Increases have been particularly pronounced in western North America, Amazonia and the Mediterranean. Fire weather has already emerged beyond its natural variability in the Mediterranean and Amazonia due to historical warming.
At 2°C this will also be the case in the boreal forests of Siberia, Canada and Alaska and the temperate forests of the western US. At 3°C, virtually all world regions will experience unprecedented fire weather.
Globally, the area burned by fires has decreased by around one-quarter -- or 1.1 million km2 -- during 2001-2019. Much of the decrease -- 590,000 km2 -- has been in African savannahs, where 60-70% of the area burned by fire occurs annually. Local/regional human impacts have reduced the area burned by fire in tropical savannahs, in combination with lower grassland productivity during (increasingly drier) wet seasons.
Large increases in burned area have been observed elsewhere, and especially in temperate and boreal forests. For example, the area burned by fire has increased by 21,400 km2 (93%) in east Siberian forests and by 3,400 km2 (54%) in the forests of western North America (Pacific Canada and US combined).***"
With async/await and callbacks, it's as you say. I/O-based concurrency is by far the most common in JS, and I'd even go so far as say in almost any language. Not everyone needs multiple tasks using CPU at the same time nor are all tasks easily decomposable/parallelizable. However, almost all programs need to read and write files from disk, load resources from network, or a combination of the two with queries to a database. All of these do not require threads but rather non-blocking I/O. The vast majority of programs are waiting for someone else to do work rather than doing parallelizable work itself.

As an aside, JS also support true threads in the form of Worker but does so in a way that prevents deadlocks while also not using explicit locking mechanisms. You are correct that there are no low-level facilities for thread (de)prioritization. Then again, if you needed that low-level fine-grained control, you'd either not be using JS or you'd write a module in a language that does for that one narrow instance where profiling has determined it will help.

A large majority of the time in any language, the naive, readable approach is sufficient. Only after profiling exactly where the hotspots are should you go spelunking.

I think you might have more luck asking it to write a script to do what you'd like. I gave ChatGPT 4 the following input:

"Please give me a python script that writes the chromatic 7th intervals from C to B in eighth notes in a convenient output format like lilypond or musicxml."

Unlike all the software engineers at Google who would be happy to have their various titles replaced with some egalitarian "developer" title.

Most people have egos. Some more than others. And public recognition via titles matters a lot for future opportunities. (Though maybe you don't care much about that so long as you make enough money.)
With some of the things, but admittedly not most of the things you mentioned, there's a dataset (somewhere) and some code run on that dataset (somewhere) and replication would mean someone else being able to run that code on that dataset and get the same results.

Would this require labs to improve their software environments and learn some new tools? Would this require labs to give up whatever used to be secret sauce? That's. The. Point.

I meant no disrespect to the sentiment. I don't think a black border at the top of a webpage is clear enough communication. Perhaps if there were some additional graphic indication of what it is? As it stands it's a black bar that makes the page look broken.

If all of middle and upper-middle class America skimmed their annual reports and voted their shares, things would change a lot. Boardrooms right now are full of people that somehow get in and stay in automatically. CEO's tend to dominate proceedings, when really they should dance to the tune set by the board, the composition of which should reflect the shareholders, which for a big corp is probably about half of the USA.
It's hard to understand what they mean. I understand it as they're free to generate "Service Generated Data" based on “Customer Content”.
So for example, a compressed rendition of a call recording would be "Service Generated Data" and thus they will be free to do whatever they want with it (improve their caption generation models ... or sell it to someone?).

Buy intercity bus ticket on internet, 15 minute bus journey to where the intercity buses congregate, get on bus. Or train, but Irish Rail likes to charge roughly 2x as much for same-day intercity tickets as next day.

Now, if you want to go to the middle of nowhere, that's harder, I suppose, but towns and cities are easy enough (caveat: Ireland's transport system is rather poorly designed and ~everything radiates out of Dublin, so this probably only works well if you live _in_ Dublin).

As I say, I do plan to get around to learning to drive at some point (my last attempt was foiled by covid; I got a provisional license in Feb 2020), but honestly it's hard to prioritise.

Kids would be more of an issue, granted. I mostly walked or got the bus to school, but I do think that’s less common these days. As a late-30s gay man, not something I have to personally worry about too much, tho.
Seems dubious. Most wealth is held by wealthy interests that prioritize staying wealthy. The collective will of small investors is negligible. And it’s not worth your time to invest in individual companies vs just doing an index fund.

It would be nice if there were index funds that promised to vote for socially positive issues on votes. That may be more impactful than social good indices.

Because rights have functionally become a prestige concept. If you want your position on something to be treated as "holy" or unassailable, you reframe it in the context of a right. You can see this across the political spectrum and on various issues that otherwise have no relation to the traditional political concept of a right.
Sales: Read founding sales by Kazanjy

Management: Read 'the effective manager' book and 'if you want something done right you don't need to do it yourself'

Hiring: Do as little as possible; if something doesn't feel right and it'd be painful to unwind then don't do it. Consider "cell division" hiring (https://medium.com/newco/who-should-a-startup-hire-first-c12...)

Marketing: talk to your existing customers that came inbound, figure out where they found you, double down on that. basically look for what channels are already working without any effort, and then put effort into them

Mostly it's just - sell more and do the marketing, and then all the hiring and management challenges will be painful but they're more deterministic and will be solved. What I'm trying to say in this last paragraph is that direct all of your effort to the sales and marketing, and the hiring and management stuff will come up when it comes up and is painful, you'll solve it, you'll move on. But without direct effort on the sales and marketing, it won't happen. I.e. the hiring and management is pain driven and will force you to solve it, the sales and marketing won't force you to do it, so put your effort there, because your effort will naturally be pulled to the hiring and management as needed.

And in general, trust your gut. Do what feels right even if it's "weird". You are the expert on what you want, on your business, and so on - so seek info like you're doing but if something tells you that a given approach doesn't feel right, then trust that intuition and find another approach.

Once you have enough budget for full time lawyers, legal minefields are just another thing to test. Many times, the mines will be inactive, at least long enough to earn money. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, etc.
Appreciate the distinction between representative democracy (a mechanism for choosing/changing the government), and the rule of law (a set of statutes and/or common law laying out how society should function). The covenant was agreed by (mostly) governments chosen through representative democracy, and signed into law (or at least given a nod in various legislation, policy etc).

Ideas like 'the will of the people' overriding established good and just law is the preserve of populists, and in extreme, of fascists. The Brexit referendum being a good case in point.

> The money nondrivers pay in taxes for roads aren’t a subsidy to drivers, it’s the cost they pay for the safety and convenience we expect from modern civilization

There were roads before cars and trucks:

> Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as “jaywalkers.” In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as “road hogs” or “speed demons” and cars as “juggernauts” or “death cars.” He considers the perspectives of all users—pedestrians, police (who had to become “traffic cops”), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for “justice.” Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of “efficiency.” Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking “freedom”—a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.

Four recommendations for privacy-focused blogging
A long search for decent, privacy-focused blogging platforms has led to these four recommendations.
The non sense is the fallacy.

Like most fallacies they sound in the right but they are deprived of true sense.

Your personal cost cannot be a determinant of your compensation. Get into a huge dept or whatever and see whether your employer adjust your comp due to your particularly high must expenses or lunatic lifestyle.

What does make sense is what the market says is true. Even when it isn't.
Back then location was a predictor of a delta in compensation and that's exactly because there was no other way than to go to the office, hence be nearby.

Behind the fallacy is simply that they want to pick from the global pool of talent thanks to remote work, and want to use the location facfor to also lower the wage burden as they are at it.

There is a job market, i agree we should all put a stop to the non sense and if all goes well we can also start to ask ourselves why certain individuals are able to move to a limited number of locations in the world, other individuals having about the same profile only able to move to a more limited number of locations, and among those some only able to move to an even more limited number of places.

While political reasons also involved it doesn't make them ethically justifyable. A defence for more remote work and compensation not tied to location of the worker moves the needle towards the more justice direction.
>have one person do the more-than-fulltime job of homemaking.

This was almost always the woman.

>disappeared because corporations needed

Also because women did not like the absolute dedication of their lives to homemaking as a default. They wanted the freedom to join the paying workforce, and wanted equal pay for their work (still waiting on that).

There's some truth in your comment, but it glosses over the very real problems that came with the gender roles and subsequent power structures of that time.
