I'm not sure what would people expect for GDPR to apply in "full" in the workplace. (TBH I'm not even sure what would most people expect from GDPR, apart from being annoyed with cookie questions while browsing the web, but let's concentrate on people who know their rights and would potentially want to exercice them.) And even then, GDPR applies, and in a good amount of cases require even more strict measures than "baseline" GDPR. E.g. employees are considered "vulnerable" because of the employee / employer relationship, and that often implies that Privacy Impact Assessments are required (fulfil one criteria and as soon as 2 are presents, PIAs are needed).

That you can't use GDPR to e.g. delete random company data just because you are somehow associated to it is only logical, but I would not really count that as "GDPR not applying in full". That was understandably never the intent of the law, and it is detailed enough to avoid silly scenarios.
> > > And people who buy less and consume less show less depressive symptoms, so there’s a positive mental health effect.”

Eh. For me personally I think there's probably some equally depressive behavior going on, as the reverse-hoarding is a result of specific trauma. But in general I agree that consumerism brings on depression.
What's the systematic cause behind why organizations like this never bring in the kind of talent and thinking necessary to really solve problems like this? Would they do better if they reversed all the decisions of the hiring committee? Or if they wrote a standard and then had somebody else write a standard that did everything differently?
I think there's just a large profit incentive for corporations to treat Taiwan like it's part of China. I found a Leap Frog globe in walmart the other day and it told me Taiwan wasn't a country and was, in fact, just China.
I've found Fast.com gamed sometimes when traveling in Asia/Europe, in the sense the ISP prioritizes Netflix traffic but normal traffic never gets within 20% of that Fast.com download speed or has much higher latency or something...?

With Cloudflare I'm guessing it's a more balanced measure.
when you rent an apartment generally the owner of the apartment does not have any rights to the apartment and anything inside it, other than it not be damaged, and they have the obligation to keep things working if the damage was not caused intentionally.

in countries that have strong protection for renters, the owner does not even have the right to enter the property without express permission from the persons living there and any kind of surveillance is out of the question.

It's easier to maintain one codebase than to maintain two forks.

If development of vim dropped and neovim was nominated as its successor, I'd think most vim users would be just fine.
I actually agree with you, I just brought it up as part of the massive cultural differences between "you managed to download this thing on this very locked down system two years ago, fill out this form to tell us what it is" and "go download steam and here's a steam code for a game, we're playing at 3pm if you want to."
> Evolution is completely uncontroversial.

No, you wish it was uncontroversial. Or it is uncontroversial within a carefully chosen subset of the society that agrees with the idea an its implications, but that's cherry-picking and does not actually mean it's uncontroversial (without qualification).

> Teaching about evolution is controversial because it pokes holes in certain commonly held beliefs. That doesn't make any of the actual underlying facts controversial.

How can you say that? The idea isn't controversial, but somehow only teaching it is? That's pretty obviously not true: the people who object to teaching evolution almost certainly object to the idea itself. I'm pretty sure they also dispute the "actual underlying facts" (at least historically).

>> I read them already and a kindle is more efficient.

Substituting electronic formats for physical has nothing to do with being an anti-horder, in fact you could have very few possessions but be extremely upset (i.e. clinically depressed) over the loss of any items that is not inline with their monetary or emotional value, and be closer to a hoarder than somebody with "lots of stuff". It's the OCD-collecting and misaligned value/ownership perspective; you can easily do this in a spartan room with a big enough hard drive.
My understanding is that dark matter cannot explain this motion in wide binaries, which is why these are interesting observations.

So it sounds like this takes a GPT formatted prompt and adds all that Llama 2 prompt template stuff (

> Suspect/subject

Those aren't the same. A suspect is someone who has been charged, or who is being questioned under caution, because he might be charged. The example given was of a man arrested for possessing a knife - therefore a suspect - who was shot by police. Since a policeman shooting a civilian isn't usually charged or cautioned on the spot, it's not surprising that there is no suspect in the shooting case.
> the ability to use Lua over VimScript

The Neovim people went a bit further with the integration, but you've been able to use Lua with Vim for like 20 years or so, and you can use it to write perfectly functional plugins with it. Probably the main difference is that in Neovim Lua is always guaranteed to be available, which isn't the case for Vim.
You'd think it's that easy. Some places literally are unable to do anything unless you're some sort of "signatory" or the actual account holder. No amount of if, buts, maybes, and certified/stamped copies of death certificates will convince them.

I couldn't even cancel the health insurance company's recurring payments after a death. And they had the audacity to send a "how was your hospital stay" questionnaire to the account holder's email after they were "discharged" by the hospital.
Ah, yeah, that's probably a bit far off in the future. Probably would be possible via GraalVM once GC is available, https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/3391
Zero emission vessel by design using wind generators and solar panels with battery storage to power things. So much has changed over the years. It really is a great time to be a researcher since all your computing gear fits in a much smaller space and can be powered by options that don't force you to breathe diesel smoke.

In contrast, FLIP used 3 diesel generators. I watched the 27+ minute video from 1969 linked by someone else and was struck by how much it reminded me of offshore O&G platforms and drilling rigs with steel walls and diesel generators screaming. The guys in the video wore no hearing protection in the generator room. It was loud on the video and from wandering thru a generator room on land I know it had to be deafening. I have tinnitus from all the loud machinery that I worked around and it does impact your quality of life. As a service company hand you always got the bunks in the cabins closest to the noise sources so there was no way to escape.

When you combine the generator noise with the noise from those dot matrix printers you get a nice wide-band noise source. Since the FLIP was studying acoustic signals they must've overcome the constant noise from the platform by filtering. I know from some ocean bottom receivers that I worked with that you can hear individual boats entering and leaving a recording area through a water column that is thousands of feet thick. Since the generators ran 24 hours a day they likely needed some signal processing to mitigate the constant noise.

And back in 1969 what OS would they be using? CP/M? The rack they loaded in the FLIP video looked a lot like an old DEC Vax rack-mounted computer that we scrapped back in the 1980's.

Another thing I noticed about FLIP is that many of the ladders used to access the different levels appear to be hardware store aluminum ladders as opposed to built to purpose ladders. I think the POD will have the benefit of experience gained with the FLIP to hone their design so that access issues are streamlined and efficient. In their ePOD course (very cool stuff there) about the living quarters you can see that ladders are fixed in position.

Thanks for this link. For those that watched the video of FLIP I recommend walking through the courses in the ePOD part of this POD link.
As an astrophotographer I was 100% sure I was about to discover a milky-way tracker software until I opened the link :)
> Yes, there is nothing the Russians can do with my data that my government hasn't done.

I understand anti-government sentiment but whenever I see a statement like this it makes me devalue anything that comes after it. You really think there is nothing a foreign government might do with your personal data that your government hasn't already done? You really feel like there's a similar level of accountability at stake?
Most low to mid level hoarders I know come from a background of some form of scarcity. They usually grew up poor or were there during war or something like the great depression. Their paranoia that they need to cling to every item they come to own because they might need it and never be able to obtain(afford) it again is less crazy in that light. Less commonly I see people with unusually strong attachments to memories an item invokes, or a desire to treat an inherited item with religious reverence to honor the deceased. Upper-middle and above class people who were always able to buy whatever they needed/wanted rarely seem afflicted by hoarding.
> There is a complete lack of empathy toward those affected by the consequences of hoarding (family etc)

> The hoarders I've met tend to be very intelligent and manipulative (and verbally abusive) if they suspect someone is going to try impress change upon them. (A situation they perceive to not be in control).

I'm sorry, but this is just a horrible way to characterize a group of people with clear mental health issues. The reason extreme hoarders are extreme hoarders is probably because their drive to hoard stuff is stronger than literally every other emotion they have, including any empathy they have for those affected. Maybe the hoarder you know is manipulative and has low empathy, but the hoarder I knew was very empathetic and not a manipulative person. She had a ton of shame about it and refused to talk about it or address it.

I'm an anesthesiologist and I cannot imagine taking a picture of a patient, let alone posting it to social media. Even if anonymized.

Ask HN: What would it take to build artificial leadership?
I'm just trying to kick start a conversation that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Skipping past the LLM hype and Skynet jokes, what would it take to optimize savings by automating from the top down?

Most cost-cutting happens bottom-up and this largely works, either by automation or by outsourcing (cheaper labor). It's also makes sense as the decision makers are not likely to cut themselves out (not in their best interest).

Firms are now started experimenting with automating away cognitive-heavy work, so why not start at the top with executive leadership and boards of directors?

Secondary: If the past 3 years have shown us anything, it's that losing local (in-nation), hands-on manufacturing and builder know-how is actually very expensive.

How do we accurately measure the value/cost of this loss?
I'm guessing you have to pay for it and that you can't freely redistribute it, in which case it's not open source.
Surely it's less constricting? You can put that one function anywhere.

(I grew up on python, then C etc. at university, but as sibling says in Python I'd still `if __name__ == "__main__"`.)
Your incorrect assumption here is that determinism comes with no tradeoffs. There are a few outsider analyses on the topic, for example, this one on sparse MoEs [1]. If OpenAI uses sparse MoE as described, then determinism would be possible but inefficient.

Even if it's not sparse MoE, chances are high that the non-determinism is introduced somewhere purely as a performance optimization. The article speculates that OpenAI knows this well and hides it to protect the model internals.

Perhaps the difference is having heritage vs having lived for a large portion of life and still having ties and relatives there?

Also, please elaborate. How does does having come from Poland figure into this conversation? You yearn for Soviet rule and hate what capitalism stands for? Or sympathize with Russian justifications for their aggression against a neighbor state and their own people? I can only speculate lacking any detail.
It’s interesting that water is often boiled in metal pots. There are several kinds of metal pots. Aluminum, stainless steel, and copper are often used for pots to boil water in.

Water boils in pots with different metals because only temperature matters for boiling water. If the water is 100c at sea level, it will boil.
Employee: But what about my health insurance?
Employer: Better not make us fire you
I think the ecosystem is more or less splitting. As a user, not dev, it looks like neovim "distributions" are mostly lua and would be feature complete (with some substituted plugins) even if 100% lua was enforced.
I think this would hold up better if refusing to give consent didn't end with you being fired on the spot. All of a sudden with no warning you're now not getting your next paycheck. That sounds like duress to me.

I would be much more likely to agree with you if the employer came out and said "here's the new policy, it's being implemented in 6 months. On this date 6 months in the future, you need to sign this form or you're out." That gives you time to make other arrangements, get independent review of the policy, whatever you want.

Loyalty? Inertia? I never felt like there was a reason to switch. I admired Bram’s work on Vim, still do, and didn’t see any benefits to switching. Still don’t, as long as the rest of the Vim dev community are willing and able to carry it forward.

For my purposes, Vim is complete. I don’t require new features, as long as it is maintained and runs on modern OSes.
There's a good and very biblical way of resolving esoteric disputes over theology, and that is to ask what fruit the tree has brought forth.

Maybe the pope could call a competition, "OK, fifty years from now we're going to see which of you has brought most good into the world, and settle this pointless dispute once and for all!"
This is a good strategy, but it's hard to come up with a date, and to have the discipline to follow through.

I've tried a few times to dung out the closet but some stuff sneaks back in, because... you never know... I had a great idea for that when I get time... but that's sooo cool!

My brother-in-law's mother passed away last year and he was in a similar situation. Even beyond the digital realm, there are so many details in a person's life that have to be attended to. Insurance, mortgage, vehicle ownership, etc etc. It's really an overwhelming process and it took a toll on him.

I've been thinking about building a platform to help prepare for and guide families who are faced with this kind of situation.

I mean, that's great for you. But for millions of people, their health and wellness is directly tied into making money this very month (and possibly getting health insurance for them and/or their family), and losing their employer because they fuck up directly interfere with that, and will make their life a living hell until they can find a new job, which isn't always easy with the various constraints people have in their life.

What an idiotic question. In my case, the sensitivities are familiar. My ancestors in Ukraine were starved to death by communists during the Holodomor. Is that something you're familiar with?

The West is "weirdly" attached to communism for many reasons, the foremost being that the past 50 years has been spent trying to clean up the mess left by communist regimes.

Do you ever stop and wonder what Russia could have been like had the Bolsheviks not terrorized it? Does it scare you to face just how badly your ideology has globally failed, and will be forever remembered as a point of shame in the grand story of human development?

In Europe, and I mean literally anywhere in it, renting a van to move, or even just throwing out big useless garbage is a normal thing. You pay a bit but win much more (space, freedom etc). Having to do this additional step should not be good enough reason to no throw something out.

Its all a burden, on your body but much more on your mind. I understand that it brings back memories, but you shouldn't remember given person by keeping their hoard. And that 1 in 100 items that is actually useful doesn't change any of it.

I've seen it done countless times, last time few months ago my parents were cleaning whole apartment after grandparents died. We each picked few small items to keep, and literally everything else went to dumpster. So liberating.

Good rule of thumb for anything, anywhere, anybody - if you can buy it with a reasonable sum, item is worthless long term and should be no burden to you. Cherish those things that are not replaceable - photos, gifts handcrafted for you. The rest, whether you have it or not doesn't change anything long term in life. Thus is largely meaningless for your happiness. Thus it can go anytime, no big deal.

A couple of reasons. First of all, I kinda need the microphone for work whereas I don't need a webcam. I also live alone, so it's not like I am having that many private conversations at home. However, I do for example spend time naked at home, and I'd prefer that to not be visible to any cameras.

There is thankfully a physical cutoff switch for the microphone whenever the laptop lid is closed in case I need to have a private conversation and ensure that there's no employee-provided microphones nearby.
