Also “difficult” then, are software engineers who identify and raise a problem with the direction that the manager doesn’t get.
It's basically called not being a sucker. They ban all our apps, so we should ban their apps. It's tit for tat. If they want to sell in our market, they should open up their market! It's totally unfair to allow them to operate in our market while they ban and restrict every single large american tech platform in their own.
Growing food and converting it to fuel is not carbon neutral. Farming is very resource intensive at the scales needed. In fact, it is literally the same idea as carbon capture, but via biology instead of synthetic. As a result, it is entirely a bad idea.
Likely a lack of thermal shutoff switch; So if it runs too long, the compressor fails, or the working fluid loses pressure then the compressor doesn't shut off.

A fix like this is likely to rebreak in the same way. The question becomes how many times do you think it's fixable before thermal stress destroys the board. Maybe future incidents will be prevented by increasing cooling of the device in the installed system?

I'd be ok with this in a machine with regular backups, where you're looking at worst case the data from a day or two is lost, plus some downtime while getting a replacement and restoring a backup, and best case another trip through the hot air station. Seems pretty ok to me in that use. Would probably be fine for a use case with easily replaceable data too: if you've got a fast network connection, it could be your steam drive.

I forget where but I was once trapped in software hell where it would autocorrect my address to a correct-looking address but actually was a different structure on the property. You had to submit the corrected version. Phone support couldn't help and just redirected me back online. It was a mess.
A PCIE 4.0 16x link should provide around 32GB/s of bandwidth, close to the 33GB/s of DDR5-3200. In a perfect world, it would seem to me that doing 100% offloading (streaming everything as needed from system memory) should be equivalent to doing the calculations in system memory in the first place. The GPU memory just acts as a cache, and should only speed up the processing.
Do you believe the US is not a democracy?

I think we have serious problems, and we need to fight to ensure they don't get worse, but I also think voters continue to wield significant power.
> The words are "well regulated" and they don't mean what you think they mean. In 18th century American English, the phrase "well regulated" means well equipped.

It's saying that people should have lots of guns!

Um, no. You were doing alright until you get to this bit of mythology. "Well regulated" means then, as now, adhering to rules, regulation, and law as set by an authority. In many towns people could not keep weapons in their homes (that was true in some places up through the late 19th century). A quartermaster kept all the weapons safely stowed, and when a call to arms was issued, the (male) town folk would go retrieve their weapons. As time progressed they would be told what weapons they could get and the quartermaster would ensure they remained in good operational order.

The law and custom of the age made it clear that firearms were not considered a weapon for self defense, but instead were a weapon for town and state defense. As I alluded to earlier, even in territories where firearms could be kept on person it was not infrequent that they would be surrendered when entering town. The 2nd Amendment was interpreted as local law will determine the regulation, as that was what was meant to be "well-regulated."
Interfaces are fine. Anything that works like traits :)
When I say nuclear, I don’t mean as the primary fuel source, but as a few strategically placed plants to serve as back up until large scale battery storage gets sufficiently commonplace until it is no longer needed. Eventually every house will have its own large battery and solar panels on its roof. In combination with grid battery storage, increased panel efficiencies and huge amounts of solar and wind farms eventually the need for backup nuclear energy plants will be next to zero and would probably only exist as small, mobile units that could be moved to disaster zones. Obviously I’m talking on a massive timescale here, we probably won’t get to this point this century unless someone really does make a room temp superconductor and then we can just pipe energy from the equator to where it’s needed.
I'm having too much fun imagining a project starting with a single `main.c` with nothing but `printf("Hello, world!\n");` back in 2010 with the project being stalled by endless enterprise architecture meetings.
Worst case, that's just 16 cars, twice a day. That doesn't seem like a thing to make a big stink about.

So infuriating. I hated YouTube's recommendations when my watch history was on, so I turned it off and got WAY better recommendations based on which videos I liked or added to playlists. I sometimes watch garbage/uninteresting videos that I don't want associated with my account, since their recommendation algorithm is obviously dog shit and thinks watching a Joe Rogan video one time means I should only ever watch his (or similar) content. Recommendations should only be made based on what you've positively interacted with previously. Anything else is just bad for the user.
I think "unique among big tech companies" and "used to be the norm" can both be true!

It definitely has pros and cons though: I've worked on a handful of teams at Apple and was very lucky to have been able to work on super fun and interesting stuff on all of them, but an outsider confronted with 1000+ vague listings on jobs.apple.com is effectively playing the lottery of whether they'll get to interview for a team that's a good match for them.

> as capitalism only benefits, those who own

A rising tide lifts all boats, and that is what has borne out by historical fact for capitalism. The easiest way to see how it benefits everyone, even the poorest, is to look at the median person's living standards in places that don't have "capitalism" (which in this context is shorthand for rule of law, strong private property rights, and a market economy).

> a few thousand people hoard all the resources

The mega-ultra-rich (the top richest few thousand people in the world, like you said) aren't piling vaults with gold, Scrooge McDuck style. Their wealth is the productive assets they own, almost always companies that generate value for consumers.

Besides, the net worth of all American billionaires combined is about four and a half trillion dollars[0]. Even if you could magically confiscate all of that "money" at that same valuation (which you can't, since you cannot liquidate a stock and expect it to fetch the same price) and redistribute it to everyone, that's a whopping bonus of $13.5k to every man, woman, and child in this country. Do you seriously imagine everyone can stop working and live happy lives with that money?

Put another way, $4.5T is not even five years of Social Security. What happens next?

> we have to keep working

I'm not really sure what you think the alternative is. As pg said, wealth is what people want[1], whether that's an AC unit to keep yourself cool if you live in a hot place, or heating oil to keep yourself warm if you live in a cool place, or a flight to Paris for a vacation, or filet mignon, or rice and beans, or a can of Coke, or a glass of wine. Every single one of those things takes labor to produce. If all rich people ceased to exist, it will not change the fact that you cannot wave a magic wand and put food on your table.

Yeah I described myself as someone who isn't brainwashed by corporate media and the State Dept.
If you care about achieving a particular mission, you could view joining a large funded organization as an opportunity to achieve that mission with higher likelihood or speed.

For example, if you had an idea about planting trees via drones and a big company said "come to our company and we can get this launched at scale as early as 2026". Then you think about how long it would take to do it on your own and you'd still have to convince investors and hire people and stuff.

If at the end of the day, what you care about is planting more trees quickly, you should probably join that big company. (of course there are risks too, where they cancel the project or divert its direction).

And also, not every startup found cares about achieving some grandiose mission. Some just want to get rich which is totally fine.
> All this selects for is the candidate to have a working definition of an ascii decimal string in their head, it represents no ability to problem solve whatsoever.

Problem solving isn't orthogonal to having genuine expertise. Loads of awful, brittle, hard-to-read, but working, code gets written every day by people who are good at finding a solution but haven't RTFM, so to speak.

But depending on how you define it, our species has never been "sustainable." The very first house clobbered the meadow and mice beneath it, and that one meadow was forever "lost." Yet, we keep finding resources, and alternatives to those resources, and more efficient means of using both. We have been using nonrenewable resources for hundreds (tens of thousands?) of years, and yet we keep finding more. Ehrlich famously lost his bet, and dramatically so! On every objective measure, we live in the very best moment in the history of humanity, and while there will be ups and downs, there is every reason to believe that will be just as true ten years from now and a hundred years from now.

I'm always amused by the doomsaying Malthusians. They're always so confidently wrong.

I've had to clear my like and watch history a few times, since I'll watch foreign language tech videos and it often messes up my feed. History off was my default to fix yt's issues.

Theres a browser extension, pockettube, that turns yt into a cable network, tons of features, it really has made yt more usable and enjoyable.

https://pockettube.io/

I wish someone would make a pockettube type app that wasnt just for yt, but also worked with other video services. Maybe give me a priority of videos per platform, so I could pick the platform that makes the most money for the creator.

Its kinda like rss feeds with a front end, amazed nobody has made this, we have it for podcasts and news, but not video platforms? so strange.

I think you're confusing winning a game with living life. The reason we don't use steroids is we institutionally value living a healthy life more highly than winning a game. China-TikTok is unhealthy in a different way than USA-TikTok but it's still unhealthy. And while USA-TikTok has issues I'm not sure Facebook is any better, so the question is how we come up with generally protective rules.

Really I think the EU has a good approach with GDPR and we need to copy that. Banning TikTok or putting special rules on them is maybe a better reaction than doing nothing whatsoever but it's kneejerk and does very little to solve the fundamental problems.
If I have 100 total shares of my company, and I put 10% of my company up for sale (10 shares) and the shares trade for $10, then the market has decided my total company is worth $1000.

> Why do we have to set the time on our clock radios or on our microwaves or whatever? Why don't they just always use this Tech.

The main reason is lack of reliability or better to say strong dependency of reception success from location of the receiver. My G-shock watch never synchronizes when in kitchen but gets sufficiently strong signal in the bedroom. Wrist watches are more mobile and have better chance to be in a good signal reception spot at least once in a while. A microwave, on another hand, is stationary and if out of luck (weak signal) that it is permanent. Not a good solution for time sync (and possibly complains from dissatisfied customers).
When people say documentation, they could mean:

- a guide to the system to orient yourself

- a reference for the api to look up in

- tutorials to teach it

- examples to copy/paste

Each has a different audience and requires a different structure and writing style.

I once spent a project being the lone wolf against my will, writing tons of documentation with diagrams. Didn't matter, if anything it just made the rest feel insecure and look bad. Everyone says they want docs but often they don't, really, because they don't read them when they do exist.

Students primarily don't study for jobs. They study for baseline competency across a broad range of skills. Writing is not just important for the finished product (a written document) but it's also useful to elaborate on and evaluate a person's thought processes, such as the ability to comprehend and analyze information. Students who fail to learn to write are at a significant disadvantage to their peers who succeed.
I bought a used HP Microserver gen 8 last year. Cost maybe 100 euros. Dual core, 8 gigs of RAM, raid controller, dual Ethernet and ELO (which is better than I expected). It only uses 10 to 25 watts depending on load.
I run arch on it (yes…) because it’s a distro I’ve used since 2006 and I know my way around. I dislike gui tools.

On top of arch I have a qemu vm that serves Postgres and grafana. There’s some python scripts that gather data from my solar array and other personal stuff.

Oh and I have a home assistant docker instance. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. It’s a little fiddly.

This machine also has a VPN connection to the web that I occasionally use on other machines via ssh.
How do you like that machine besides? I am kinda considering getting one (or Steam Deck), but very short battery time puts me off.
The worst part is that it's so hard to find a vendor with SSD firmware that isn't terrible. So many buy the cheapest controller chip and then ghost you when the drive crashes and bricks itself.

Many many drives, even from big companies like HP, came with the damn Sandforce controller that tends to brick itself if your computer ever goes to sleep. I know organizations that ended up replacing entire swaths of drives because they were dying so often. It was enough of a problem that some people went to extreme (legally dubious) lengths to try to recover the drives. I mean just look at the procedure:

https://computerlounge.it/how-to-unbrick-sandforce-ssd/

Of course Sandforce was completely unhelpful in trying to fix the problem.
I didn't feel the precautions were particularly obvious. Sure, maybe individually. But in total, I think they serve as a very potent reminder: trains are dangerous, and your mindset around them should be one of precaution.

In many places like Thailand and India, trains are a much more commonplace part of everyday life. Familiarity breeds complacency, and these posters serve as a potent reminder of how dangerous trains actually are.

The same dynamic exists with cars in the US. One thing I've found helpful is that, every time I get into a car, I just take a single deep breath and remind myself I am piloting a potentially lethal machine. I find it really helps put me in the right mindset to take better appropriate care when I'm driving.
This is the first thing I think I'm going to address. Every time its been play tested thats the first thing people do. Smart humans gonna smart.

A lot of people just want to believe, full of hope, because their life situations (poverty, housing crisis, hot weather) are so dire ... I should say that even if it doesn't affect them personally, it creates their worldview when it is 90% of their news. Homeless crisis, war in Ukraine. Why wouldn't you want and allow some positive, apolitical, hopeful story about noble science to consume your attention instead?"
