“There are really two separate trends,” said Randerson. “Even as the global burned area number has declined because of what is happening in savannas, we are seeing a significant increase in the intensity and reach of fires in the western United States because of climate change.”

I'm going to assume that as you're on HN you're more than bright enough to understand the difference between 3D volume and 2D area .. correct? That you understand a wide open grassland is different to a dense tall forest in terms of fuel volume?

I think it's as childish to discard this as it is to think it's "inevitable" to nuke people or to go to war. Everyone can have their own childish thoughts specially when I'm not in power or seeking a position where I have to make that hard choice, so I choose for me and I'll tell it to whoever asks.
> That’s a different problem.

That's news to me. AGI (or strong AI) is typically defined as "human-level intelligence", or "perform any task that a human or animal can." Humans and animals often perform tasks that are critically reliant on being conscious, emoting, reading body language, reasoning, etc.

Not only that but prominent thinkers who have carved out the notion of AGI (or Strong AI) tend to have consciousness, mental states, and emotions at the core of it.

I think what you're talking about is a multi-task AI, not an AGI.

For a good year, Barclays would ask me if my monthly Oyster purchase, for the same cost, at the same station, on roughly the same day of the month, was actually me doing it. Natwest, similarly, have blocked my "early September, about £1200, to Apple" payment for 5 years in a row now. It's infuriating.

It makes sense for back-end too though, especially in the context of a larger organization.

Teams A, B and C need features X, Y and Z from the back-end team. Back-end team says they will cost 3, 5 and 8 story points respectively. Back-end team's product owner talks to the teams to ask about priority. Z is planned for next sprint, X and Y for the one after. Teams A, B and C plan their work that depends on those features accordingly.

Everybody happy. We work with SAFe where that process of inter-team dependencies are formalized in quarterly "sprints" subdivided into 3-4 3-week team sprints. That's easy enough to explain at least, it's a shame the website makes it look so bad: https://scaledagileframework.com/
HashiCorp makes its external contributors sign a CLA to basically hand over the copyright.

However the MPL and licensing in general is irrevocable. They have irrevocably licensed Terraform 1.5.5 under the MPL and an enterprise license (dual license). Anyone can use, modify and distribute version 1.5.5 under the terms of the MPL.

Since HashiCorp retains full copyright they can release the next version under the BSL.

Note that many free software projects (like Linux) don't have a CLA which makes relicensing impractical since every contributor would have to agree to it.
He's also basically shorting S&P and Nasdaq ETFs - $1.8billion is a blip against these, like throwing a pebble at an oil tanker...yet the article seems to have an air about it like the very presence of this man and this money is enough to help precipitate his expected downturn.

The market does seem overpriced at the moment, particularly stocks like Nvidia undergoing some kind of correction, but it seems that the medium term trajectory is on the rise. I'm not sure what kind of huge downturn the market isn't going to be able to account for when phenomenal, unprecedented shocks like COVID are something it took in its stride even though prices are still recovering due to the debt so many companies took on. The bullish run of the past 6 months seems to have taken analysts by surprise so to be expected that some of them are now betting against its turn in the other direction.
> I may be misunderstanding you

I think so, but I probably haven't explained it well. Let's assume the following structure:

<Outer>
<EditListElements>
<UIElem>1</UIElem>
<UIElem>2</UIElem>
</EditListElements>
</Outer>

Let's say EditListElements is a generic 3rd party component.

How does the definition of the props/dependencies of the elements look like?

I would like it so that when I define `Outer`, I define some props that outer needs (e.g. let's say it needs an A and a B) and then the actual props to initialize it become A, B and <Props of EditListElements>. But EditListElements is a 3rd party component, which itself derives its properties based on the children it uses. And so on.

One of the reasons to do it like this is that if I have a big, nested graph of components and I add a required dependency value to some component down the graph then all the intermediate components should have the props "automatically" updated and I will have to pass it to one of those components (potentially the very toplevel component) to satisfy the compiler. Then, it will be passed down automatically to where it is needed.

The way this is currently "solved" in react most of the time is to move those required values to some global store or so which is then accessed or at least accessible by all components. It quickly leads to a big ball of mud and it is tricky to see what a component needs (and what it doesn't need) by just looking at the component in the graph.

Hope that makes it more clear.

Sid Sijbrandij just wrote on LinkedIn:

"More than a year has passed since I wrote this article for Fortune: Remote Work is Just Work. And as I’m reading about Zoom adopting a “structured hybrid” approach, Michael Bloomberg’s OpEd in the WaPo, and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s outspoken support for office-based work, I’m surprised that what I wrote so long ago is still controversial.

What I’m not surprised about is that many companies – even the biggest and most financially successful – are choosing to go back to the office. Why? Because all-remote work is hard, and it’s even harder for companies who didn’t start off all-remote from day one. It requires discipline at scale, each and every day, to get right. Companies that get remote work right have that level of discipline and are laser focused on communicating async (https://bit.ly/4562EK3).

The future of work is not about where you work; it’s about how you work. Let’s all take advantage of the fact that remote work introduced to virtually every company the tools, systems, and behaviors that create efficiency and inclusivity.

And let’s stop the remote-work-is-over debate. That’s a tired conversation.

I challenge leaders who are thinking about giving up on remote work to change the discussion.

The solution isn’t about transforming the workplace; it’s about transforming work. "

I think there is something to what he is talking about. Most companies don't embrace the way you work, i.e. async (https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/asynchro...) thus not gaining its full potential.

This is super interesting to me. I am an amateur artist and I publish my stuff on instagram (@pamar).

In the last year I had multiple cases of people contacting me out of the blue and asking if I could draw a picture of their nephew's favourite dog (it is always a dog, and it is always for their nephew whose birthday is coming soon so there is an implicit sense of urgency).

I never actually pursued this stuff because it was obviously a scam of some kind (I draw mostly nudes, dogs or animals in general amount to less than 1% of my production so far, so someone starting their message with "I just adore your style can you please draw a dog for me..." is obviously either a scammer or blind).

Another clear sign is that they are obviously following a script (my standard answer is something alongside the lines of "Gee, thanks, but I do not really work on commissions, and I don't draw animals anyway" to which they would infallibly answer "Fantastic, would 2500USD be ok for you?" - at this point I just block them).

But I am still a bit confused about what the angle would be for this type of scams: assuming they send me 100$ and then open a claim against me because I did not deliver... at most they would get 100$ back after a few days. There is no actual profit, right? (I am considering one of my drawings basically worthless, I draw on paper, usually a5 or smaller).

Is this a laundering schema? What would they get out of it?
(There are also lots of people asking to buy my stuff for NFT, I did not fall for that, either, but some other artist on IG explained to me that usually they ask you to create an account on some third party site... the account requires a fee, and after you have paid for it the NFT guy will just disappear - so in that case the way they get money from you is clear... but I still don't get how it would work in case of a physical item).

Any clues?

Not quite true. The US offers a foreign earned income tax credit for incomes up to $120k (in 2022).

That means that for your first $120k earned, if you pay tax on that in your country of residence and meet other criteria, you will not be double taxed by the US.

In the game Deus Ex (2000) you can find a secret room that contains an artificial intelligence you can talk to. The dialogue tries to make connections between religious deities and artificial intelligences. https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1glq98/deus_ex2000_a...

It's that a lot of people don't have (didn't have?) this philosophy. My previous employer worked in telecom; it wasn't uncommon to have one major feature be under development by one or two guys for eight months at a time.

It was specialist work, sure, and the guys knew what they were doing (20-40 years in the business) but then integrating and releasing it was a big job.

My hazy understanding from previous conversations was the performance advantages claimed is basically how things were "out of the box" for comparison, for certain situations. However I've seen people claim the differences quickly close when someone that knows what they are doing optimizes a setup. Additionally other situations are much more similar.

Two things on this front. The first is a foreign earned income exclusion. The first $120,000 you earn is not taxed. The second is that one can also renounce their citizenship. It's not particularly extreme if you only plan on returning to visit, rather than live in America, and is quite handy not only for avoiding double taxation, but also making it vastly easier to bank abroad.

America has a habit of making laws that it compels other countries to follow, and banking is definitely one of those. Foreign banks dealing with US nationals have a mountain of paperwork, rules, and regulations to abide to the point that US citizenship is often a substantial hurdle to foreign banking. And, as usual, the extremely high wealth types that acts like FATCA [1] ostensibly target have little difficulty finding ways around it. It's the 'normal' people who get hit the hardest.

This media story isn't 'in the tradition' of vocally disliking psychiatric medication. You could twist the headline to be, possibly. Have you read the article itself? Its the complete opposite.

The headline is a bit attention grabby perhaps (and of course, that is what a headline must do), but I wouldn't even call it clickbait. It is even fairly accurate. Yes, they were likely off target with the specific neuroreceptors, no that doesn't mean the medication didn't work and of course, this is a positive development for designing better medication. This is classic storytelling, draw the reader in with some conflict and save the resolution for the end.

We need to be able to discuss negatives and limitations associated with psychiatric medication in an honest and nuanced way. They often don't work well enough, there are costs associated and just giving somebody a pill and be done with it is hopelessly inadequate to the point of negligence.

As someone who did experience uncontrolled psychosis myself, let me tell you the absolute taboo of discussing these matters made me way more uncomfortable than the side effects. Furthermore, psychiatry made me feel like a diseased animal at times, not to be taken very seriously and just put on drugs for life to be on the safe side. In hindsight I do appreciate how difficult that line of work is, doesn't change my experience.

I am not against medication really, actually I think they are a must-have. I just think most anti-medication people are not really rallying against the side effects or at least not initially, but grew opposition out of bad experiences with treatment that focuses only on medication and was just very inadequate. Medication is what represents that. Additionally, medication can come to represent your loss of sanity and with that, you fundamental not-belonging to the group of 'normal people'. Thus the desire to not be on meds 'for life'. Haven't spoken to a single therapist or psychiatrist who made me feel that was a legitimate desire and who understood that. Maybe things have changed, this was a long time ago.

To deal with the resentment against meds, I think it is way more effective to address those concerns directly and without fear, rather than putting down everything that might be interpreted as negative about medication.

Like you say, without experience yourself, you have no idea how bad psychosis can get. It is a really complex thing and you will need much, much more than pills. And not only for the psychotic episodes, because these experiences tear at your identity as a human being. It isn't over when the psychosis is over.
If you read the original comment you replied to, you will see my only position is against terrorism, that is suggested as the next only possible step after lobbying and litigation. You piled on that train to again propose the idea that every single suggestion I made was innefective and therefore "what can we do?". Since my comment was purely denouncing terrorism, I made the obvious connection that this is what you proposed to do. You then mentioned a bunch of suggestions similar to my own suggestions in my original post, except for blocking roads which I believe is a serious offense as you do not know what you are blocking people from getting to, though I'm not sure it amounts to terrorism.

If someone says "purple is bad" and you comment a bunch of reasons why purple is not bad, am I that much at fault to think you believe purple is good? If you are for democratic and societal change through legal means then you're with me. I'm sorry if I annoyed you for hinting that you were proposing terrorism, but please re-read the original comment and see how that might've happened, I also got annoyed myself due to the fact that I didn't think people would find offense to an anti-terrorist stance, so perhaps I exaggerated.
