It seems impossible at times... creating more green energy just reduces the demand for fossil fuels, making them cheaper for other people to use. Reducing one's impact makes space for more people...basically, more efficiency in one place is immediately counteracted by people using MORE resources.

The only solution would be for humanity to collectively agree to make fossil fuels incredibly expensive GLOBALLY...in some way or another. Whether that's through collective action or something else, I guess time will tell.

On most days, I think we are screwed.

Benign dictatorships are almost always easier to pull off than board management models.

Board management models generally only work if it the restaurant was individually owned at one point and then that owner left

Starting a worker owned restaurant from the ground up is a terrible idea because the end customer doesn't really care and your artificially creating additional managerial barriers to entry when you have to move fast early on

If someone has the capability of leading a worker owned restaurant (there is always a leader even in these models - e.g. a board chair), they are also equally capable of running a simpler ran benign dictatorship with less red tape.

The other issue with board management runned operations is if you want to expand operations (e.g. opening up a second restaurant). It will get political very fast and not work because there will be disagreements on how money should be spent and allocated

A worker owned business is just a more complicated business. It can work but it needs very specific conditions and it's prone to political issues

I have seen though however a benign dictatorship take on funds from investors to expand operations, but that only works if there is a well established culture (e.g. usually the restaurant has built a few successful stores on their own). It's not very that far off from startups taking investor funding

There's a reason we call restaurant entrepreneur as restauranteurs

I run my own nonprofit currently (board management) and have done startup consulting for the restaurant space for over a decade. Restaurants and startups operates on similar principles

A friend of mine and her manager have been remote for their entire tenure of 7 years at Amazon. They live in the same city and often work together in person. The rest of the team has also always been remote, but they don't live in the same city. They are all being told to move to Seattle (1,500+ miles for my friend) or resign. Another company will be very lucky to get my friend as a new employee.

Sure it is. And all that language about how you are buying into a project or this will be part of a future game with an economy is all part of that art too, right?

3D Immersive Ads for the Vision Pro?
In 2D apps, developers monetize their work through ads and micro-transactions usually.

For the Vision Pro, how do developers plan to monetize their work? There isn't a way to do spatial ads.

At Halocline, we've built capabilities to stream 3D content super-fast - think 360-degree videos and full 3D models. Anyone can host their content and stream it into their app.

Right now, we're testing out an ad platform where the ads are actually immersive experiences. Like a VR video or a fire-breathing dragon in your living room.

If you're interested in the beta: https://haloclinetech.com/ads

Exactly. If you are bothered by the type of things mentioned by OP, then you are not in the target market for that product. And also, you are probably capable of building your own, custom setup.

Ok, I can see how the OWASP document doesn’t use the words ethic or right or wrong. Would you agree that the claim by saligrama.io that they were “consistent with best practices” (where best practices is a link to OWASP) is not true?

It used to be much more rare in the past. With 20 TB drives available today, it is much more common to be able to handle many more files. When I designed my file system replacement (www.Didgets.com), I didn't just put 'a million files' in the requirement; I put 100x more in it.

Now I have a system that will find subsets in just a second or two (even when the whole set contains hundreds of millions and any given subset might contain hundreds of thousands of matches). Here is a short video of a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWIo6sia_hw

Taxation to reflect the true cost of fossil fuels can (rather should) be redirected towards mega scale (ie matching the scale of oil extraction industry) actual atmospheric carbon capture, both industrial plant based (to create fuels used to reduce deep extraction fuels) and organic plant based (as plants are pretty damn good at pulling down C02) for sequestration.

The goal is to reduce the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere by whatever means work.
I'm not a fancy lad, but I think about formality as a continuum, ranging from graphic tees with lewd photos on one end to white tie top hats and tails on the other. A trilby is more formal than a baseball cap, which was my point. A trilby was intended to be worn with man's suit, which is also more formal than a t-shirt, but is not formal wear. Language, dude. Crazy.
I ran Llama 2 70B in my browser (Chrome Canary on a 64GB MacBook M2) using this. It took a long time to start running, but then:

Honestly amazed that this is even possible. I haven't even run Llama 2 70B on my laptop NOT using a web browser yet.
Burning Man's origins are not BLM land, it evolved into the black rock city it is today. This shit started in SF[0] and kept outgrowing its location.

There are so many attendees burning(heh) so many resources on this event every year, if they just got their shit together they could buy enough desert land for an actual city.

But that's not a fun childish party with no obligations, that's adulting. It's asking too much of clowns who can't even prevent their furry trikes and hexayurt insulation panels from falling off their overheating RVs.

I don't expect them to improve. It's just useful to imagine what it looks like for these people to actually clean up their act. And it doesn't involve erecting and tearing down black rock city every year. It involves making it permanent and solving Hard Problems.

>this email constitutes "affirmative, express consent" unless user clicks on opt-out.

No. That would be (by definition) negative, implicit consent.

Federal law specifically demands "affirmative, express" consent.
This type of article, from NASA no less, leaves me with a mixture of negative emotions.

Fear, anxiety, desperation, helplessness. Guilt.

And ultimately it all boils down to a quiet numbness. Not comfortably numb, to coin a song. But vapidly numb. Unable to process any constructive fix for our kids that doesn't sound utterly silly.
> Doesn't the fact that all the initial profit goes to one enterprise clearly make it "common"?

Maybe, but you're not tied to the enterprise after the initial purchase.

> Conversely, aren't traded shares of common stocks on NYSE merely "speculative flipping" unless they're specifically paying dividends?

The value is tied to the company and can be extracted in a multitude of ways, and the company has a duty to the shareholders. The expectation of profit in a stock goes well beyond just dividends.

> I mean, duh. Of course these are securities. "Give us money for this thing and you'll get more money later"

That depends on where the money comes from.

The people selling gold say the exact same thing, and gold is not a security.
I don't know the current state, but the JVM had historically quite bad isolation. Javascript's isolation in browsers is actually pretty good. It's possible that the existing non-browser WASI implementations are terrible at isolation; since they exist specifically to allow access system resources they might be bad at denying access to system resources...

Yes. I'm going to specifically recommend Octavia Butler, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Ursula Le Guin for particularly socially-focused fiction that is, in many ways, much more relevant to our current social issues than most contemporary fiction you can pick up off the rack. Not to knock fiction of course, but it can be hard to explore issues thoroughly while also delivering a believable and enjoyable story set in current times.

For the campy stuff, people seem to really enjoy The Expanse, both the books and the tv show.

Show HN: Llmvm. Using GPT3.5 to cooperatively execute user tasks on a Python VM
Hi there HN.

I've hacked a prototype together that enables GPT to break down user tasks into manageable sub-tasks, and then schedule and oversee their execution on a Python VM while collaboratively addressing syntax and semantic errors through a back-and-forth message dialogue.

Example:

"Go to the https://ten13.vc/team website, extract the list of names, and then get me a summary of their LinkedIn profiles."

Will turn into GPT generated a-normal form Starlark code:

var1 = download("https://ten13.vc/team") # Step 1: Download the webpage
var2 = llm_call([var1], "extract list of names") # Step 2: Extract the list of names from the webpage
answers = [] # Initialize an empty list to store the summaries
for list_item in llm_loop_bind(var2, "list of names"): # Step 3: Loop over the list of names
var3 = llm_bind(list_item, "WebHelpers.search_linkedin_profile(first_name, last_name company_name)") # Step 4: Search and get the LinkedIn profile of each person
var4 = llm_call([var3], "summarize career profile") # Step 5: Summarize the career profile of each person
answers.append(var4) # Step 6: Add the summary to the list of answers
answer(answers) # Step 7: Show the summaries of the LinkedIn profiles to the user

Which will then be executed statement-by-statement by the Python runtime. When syntax errors, exceptions or semantic issues occur, there's a error correction loop where GPT will get involved to identify the issue, regenerate code, and try again.

Lots of fun little programming language/compiler challenges in here. Happy to answer questions if you have them.

Scaffolding, Tests, and Throw Away Work
As a user of the site who has been falsely assured that your data is "100% secure" and totally anonymous, is that data in fact not your property? Perhaps not in a strictly legal sense, but from an ethical standpoint it is certainly more of a grey area than corporations and their lawyers would want us to roll over and accept.

My understanding is that these security researchers only accessed their own accounts and data on the cloud servers, and in doing so they did not bypass any "effective technical protections on access."

Thankfully for all of us, the DoJ appears to disagree with your sentiment. At least with the current administration.

Is it your position is that when you are lied to, and your sensitive and personally identifying information is being grossly mishandled by a company, your only recourse is to spend thousands of dollars and incredible amounts of time on a court case that has very little chance of achieving anything?

> The show is what is spreading the memes and driving the demand for show related merchandise. That IS the business model!

I'm actually not sure how true this is. Given that there are non-pokemon examples (like magic: the gathering) that don't have cross-branding, and there exists a competitive pokemon TCG scene independent of the show, and the cards maintain a secondary market value as long as people want to play kitchen-table or collect them as collectibles, which will be true independent of the success of the Pokemon company, the common enterprise thing falls apart.

I don't purchase pokemon cards as an investment in The Pokemon Company^tm with the expectation of profit. I purchase them as a toy to entertain me. That fails prong two and three.

That a secondary market exists, and that particular objects have a high secondary-market value doesn't make the whole thing a common enterprise for profit, and I really doubt the majority of pokemon card purchasers do so with the intent to profit, same with MTG. Most people want some cool cards and entertainment, and throw them away.

(And this is backed up by data: with MTG, which has astronomically higher demand and card prices than pokemon, their market research shows that, by far, their largest consumer segment is entirely casual players who never attend sanctioned events. They buy packs or precons. So concepts like the secondary market value are immaterial for the majority of the consumers)
Yes, but we are talking about the climate impact of Burning Man and the protests.. so... mission accomplished?
>Your "1%" is a fantasy measure. It is purely subjective

unfortunately the hard topics and the topics that matter are the questions that matter most are often qualitative.

Measurable answers are easy. Nobody cares about those things because it's obvious. Has ChatGPT replaced any jobs for programmers right at this moment? Overall no. But why argue a point everybody already knows?

Will chatgpt replace you in the future as the technology develops? Is it a precursor to the machine that will replace you? Qualitative trend-lines point to an unknown artificial entity that does replace all of us. It is useful to speculate and extend the trendline in that direction.

You may wish to shield yourself to reality and only look at things with quantitative numbers and lengths that are measurable by rulers but the shield is an illusion what you are doing is blindness.

Natural selection and natural history is built from qualitative understanding. Without subjective analysis on qualitative data we would not be able to understand natural selection from the macro perspective. You would be ignorant of the concept of evolution and natural selection and not much different than a creationist.

Obviously you aren't like that, you're just using a tactic to win a discussion. Always use hard data works when it works. But ultimately this strategy has failed.
The event itself is a rounding error on things that actually cause a climate impact. The activists are wasting their time.
The price of oil is held artificially high by OPEC so on that front at least I think we’re ok.
It's amazing how many people have been brainwashed into supporting dictatorship in the workplace, isn't it? So-called free men, who find the idea of no gods and no masters to be unthinkable. You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Besides, comments here tend to complain about middle management being useless, not leadership.
Why? You can lead a place as a dynamic and mother of the company waitress but pay your mission critical and hard to find cooks some dollars more. Why is there a hierarchy?

Same supplies in technology: you pay your project manager less despite he is the boss of the developers which earn a lot more.

I am literally in a position where I earn like half of what people two levels down of me earn and deserve, nevertheless I lead them and fire them in doubt. I am in a different country of a multi national.

Affirmative means the user has to take an action to consent. Not doing something for 30 days isn't an affirmative action - it's known as "implicit consent" which is the opposite of "affirmative consent"[1]

Express means they have to specifically consent and can't be implied to consent or consent passively somehow.[2]

This is neither affirmative nor express consent. Also notice that literally nothing that Google (or any company) can do gives affirmative, express consent from the user. The user themselves has to do something for Google to obtain that consent - that's literally the whole point of the wording of "affirmative, express".

I'd be very surprised if google's legal thinks this is actually consent or ok. I think most likely they said it probably wouldn't stand up to challenge and the McKinsey types who run google decided they probably wouldn't be challenged and it was worth the risk.
