> This is the wrong metric

It's not intended to be a metric, just a matter of fact. Industrial agriculture has never really taken off in any meaningful way because it is too hard to educate workers about agriculture.

Anyone who already has that education does so most likely because they have been involved in a family farm, and thus are likely to be still involved in that family farm. Very few people leave the family farm to work for an industrial operation.

It is true that some family farms have been able to leverage technology to grow quite large and supply a significant portion of all the food produced, but they are still family farms. A family farm isn't determined by its scale.

> No, it's because farmhands don't have access to capital to buy land and equipment.

In my first couple of years of farming, I rented or hired out everything I needed. It is false to claim that you need to own capital to farm. In the long term I would agree it is prudent to start investing in those things, hopefully from the proceeds of your earlier years farming, but you most definitely don't have to begin farming as a BTO. You can get started with a surprisingly small investment.

What would have absolutely destroyed my farm business would have been not having some farmers readily available to share their experience with me and to help guide my operation. I agree that most people don't have access to that. For that reason, most people will never realistically be able to start farming, even with all the money in the world. I mean, of course anyone can live up to the "How do you make a million dollars farming? Start with two million." trope, but I wouldn't call that realistically starting farming.

> Anyway the farmhands aren't the ones calling the shots on how the land is managed

Absolutely. They are going to be the actual steward of the land, though. An industrial farmer isn't going to be the one doing the work.

When was the last time you saw a worker listen to shots called? I've worked in a lot of industries in my life and I've never seen workers listen to the shots called. They do whatever the want. They don't care if they destroy your equipment or land. What's it to them? They'll just go get a different job if you don't like what they decided to do.

Thanks to advancements in automation, more and more work can be given to computers who will listen to the farmer, leaving the worker to just sit there and make a phone call to an expert if the computer fails. This is making the industrial farm idea more realistic, but we've only covered a very narrow swath of farming activities with such automation to this point.

Some folks cannot afford hosting, including the time to set it up. Until recently*, it was pretty difficult to find providers who would take monero, as well. User-anonymizing, free hosting of static content has some moral value to it.
FWIW, I want to claim that I personally care deeply about a lot of this stuff; but, if I go to Home Depot and buy a piece of dumb equipment (such as a run of the mill light bulb or an outlet), it never occurred to me that I might have to check that there is a UL mark on it... I somehow assumed that Home Depot wasn't allowed to sell something that wasn't certified for at least basic electricity safety in the US.
I don't know exactly what it is, but there have got to be ways to combine an LLM with a text adventure/D&D/RPG engine or something similar.

The engine will enforce some structure on the world so that it stays consistent, rather than having to rely on just the LLM context which will run out. Info about this structure and world state gets fed in with each prompt.

The LLM can call functions to roll dice or look up monsters etc. It will ensure that user commands are understood without requiring the user to hunt for the right keywords. The LLM can provide variations on descriptions based on random inputs, time or season, world state, etc.

There are surely some ways to combine that with image generation.
As someone else mentioned, "tipping more" does not protest the practice of paying workers poorly. In fact it enables and reinforces the practice.

I remember this one time as a dev, I went through this entire interview process and they offered me 30k a year. I was literally laughing so hard I fell on the floor -- I thought it was a joke. Turns out this was the first dev position the company ever had that wasn't contractors.

I ended up working with them as a part-time consultant to actually find their first few devs. Everyone else they had interviewed had stormed out, pissed off that they had wasted their time; they didn't even realize what they did until I started asking questions after I got off the floor.

It's literally all on him, but it's hard for his ego to accommodate that fact, so he lashes out. Yoccarino must already be counting the days until she can jump ship.

If you want to pick a fight with the ADL, you have to have a significantly more nuanced social media approach, regardless of whether you are "right".

Hopefully this will resolve sooner or later with the current incarnation of Twitter going away completely.
The advantage of therapists is it can help and has fairly low risk of side effects unlike drugs or more extreme methods.

Hah!

The big issue with choosing a smaller, natural stone is you can't really be sure it's actually natural. The industry has so many unethical practices I wouldn't be confident in any "certification" that comes with a stone's origin. Even lower-grade stones might just be from lab rejects, or labs intentionally growing good, but not perfect stones.
> why should anyone who could have their own children be prevented from adopting?

I don't understand this at all. People with a history of abuse or neglect can have their own children—and often they do—but why on earth would you use that as an excuse to give them more children to abuse? Like, what is your thinking here?

AMD seems to be doing pretty well on raw performance this generation. The 7900XTX is about £200 and £500 cheaper than the 4080/4090 respectively and often comes out much closer to the 4090 in benchmarks.

They still haven't cracked ray tracing though. Their implementation performs much worse than comparable Nvidia cards. Hopefully they'll figure it out before ray tracing actually takes off.

I can see adoption being fairly slow though due to AMD's partnerships with console manufacturers and Nvidia's absurd pricing on the cards that can achieve decent ray tracing performance.

It's disgusting how high GPU prices have risen though. My first build included 2 top of the line AMD Radeon R9 290X cards for less than the cost of a single 4070 Ti.
Not sure if this was meant sarcastically. If not, why would this be the case?
Sand mining is a problem, a new global map shows
Windows and tiles mostly make sense for giant screens. As a laptop user, I notice that most of the time I want fullscreen windows. And sometimes it would be nice to split screen vertically into two parts. But being able to move and resize windows seems like an unnecessary complication. Benefits are not worth the time spent arranging windows.

It seems like developers do not want to make window sizes reasonable out of the box and instead want user to do it manually. For example, Gnome terminal opens in a tiny windows by default and you need to change settings to make its size adequate. Even worse, Gnome terminal doesn't remember the size when closed and started again.

A good windowing system is a system where you don't need to move or resize windows. It is an unpleasant chore.

Also, moving/resizing windows requires dragging across a large distance which is inconvenient on a touchpad because you need to keep our finger touching the surface and there is no key you could use to keep virtual mouse button pressed.

So it surprises me, why Apple's OS didn't have a maximize button before and had a large dock that overlaps with windows. Was Apple OS intended to be used only with large monitors?
Not just fitness, but friendships and communities.
And all of this together still doesn't solve the bigger problem with DIY hardware, which is the DIY itself.

It it goes wrong, you cannot buy a new one or hire repairperson at a sane price. If it has a software side, it will probably need maintainence. If you want one, there's a large chance you might want another to expand your project.

While yes, I am able to design a reliable hardware device, unless you have a large budget it will not be immune to direct baseball bat hits or spilling epoxy in the connector. So, in practice, if you ask me to build something for you, I'll try to find a way to do it with off the shelf parts as much as possible.

Which sucks, because electronics projects are super fun, but the fun is dampened by the fact that in the end you have this completely unique irreplaceable thing that becomes a liability if you use it for anything important, which is generally tied to one application and becomes junk if you no longer need it, unlike the more general purpose off the shelf stuff.

ESPHome and Amazon modules plus 3D printing gives a pretty good balance for a lot of things. Reconfigurable, machine-soldered reliability, a prefab software stack, but still enough flexibility to build novel things.
If you have to scramble to live it’s hard to have time to self analyze like we do in the west. I’m sure serious mental illness like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder is similar. Might also be covered up more by societies as it used to be in the west due to the family shame aspect that was very prevalent.
I wish people would use terms like "liquid market" rather than the extremely disingenuous "free market" terminology. Free markets are a marketing term that doesn't apply to reality.

>If empathy scores correlate better with therapy effectiveness than training, does the existence of a mental health crisis suggest a general decrease in available empathetic interlocutors throughout society?

I think that's a great insight which tracks well to my anecdotal experience from the last 10 years.

Dating apps have turned potential partners into Pokemon on your phone to be collected. Doordash has stripped delivery drivers of all humanity and abstracted them away into mindless automata. Social media has gamified and commodified outrage and hatred on a global scale. At every corner you look today, the bonds of human society have been disolved and replaced with pay-gated third party API calls. And this mindset has extended like a cancer to all aspects of life. Even "therapy" itself conforms to this. What was once something relied upon friends and family has been outsourced to the "heres my money, now fix my problem" mentality.

Corporate greed has effectively atomized us in a way that 20th century totalitarian states could have only imagined. And once we've been atomized, it becomes trivial to sell basic human experiences back to us in a nice neat package. Empathy becomes just another service you can summon with your phone, so why bother practicing it?
NFS has too many shortcomings for me to take your answer seriously. SSHFS is a very useful tool in the right places; if it's a hammer and you have a screw, don't use it.
As opposed to the diamond mining industry which is a paragon of ethics...
GTA IV has something similar, if you play a cracked copy eventually the camera starts to wobble and it makes it impossible to play, and it makes it look like a bug. I remember thousands of players asking in the forums why their camera was shaking without knowing they're telling everyone they had a pirated game. Hilarious move from Rockstar.

For those wondering, yes it happened to me, it was absolutely infuriating like "man this fucking game is full of bugs", lol.
Lots of things have happened in the 40 years since that article was written. De Beers do not control the market anymore the way they did before. Wikipedia says

> De Beers's market share of rough diamonds to fall from as high as 90% in the 1980s to 29.5% in 2019

> De Beers sold off the vast majority of its diamond stockpile in the late 1990s – early 2000s and the remainder largely represents working stock (diamonds that are being sorted before sale). This was well documented in the press but remains little known to the general public.

> As a part of reducing its influence, De Beers withdrew from purchasing diamonds on the open market in 1999 and ceased, at the end of 2008, purchasing Russian diamonds mined by the largest Russian diamond company Alrosa
> Some research shows that neurodivergent people can make teams up to 30% more productive when placed in the right environments.

This rings true for any kind of "difficult" team member. All people have intrinsic advantages, and many who are considered "difficult" to work with, either are in the wrong role, are expected to be doing something that's uncomfortable to them, are not strong with communication, deadlines, estimating, etc.

Your job as a team leader/manager is to figure out how to best utilize their talents, without letting the shortcomings get in the way of the project / rest of the team. Someone's really bad with deadlines? Don't give them deadlines! Assign them to more "async" work like writing tests, documentation, maintenance, etc.

For me, with a strong technical background but no experience managing a team, having found myself in that role for the first time, it helped to think of it as an optimization problem. Databases are great at handling many rows of columnar data. GPUs are great at heavily parallel work like matrices.

A shortage just means that the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded. You can have a 45% increase in the quantity supplied, as TFA says, and still have a shortage. We don't know anything about the change in the quantity demanded during that time.

That being said, the article is correct that there is no shortage because there is no ceiling on the price of truck driver labor. Companies just don't want to pay more.

Might lab-grown diamonds have reached a point of being indistinguishable from natural diamonds such that people pass off lab-grown diamonds as natural diamonds without anyone being able to tell?
Sure, but it's going to start out at double the price. Then the upgrades that most users need will raise the price to the point where you might as well buy that Macbook Air anyways similar to the base iPad lineup and the iPad Pro.
I assume that by reasonable you mean not one that will bait and switch their userbase.

Yes, sort of - on Deno Deploy the authentication doesn't come from a token in env vars, but from intrinsic security tickets baked into the Deno Deploy system. Also, it's a bit faster on first connect, because compared to KV connect we can skip the metadata exchange[1] because the information it provides is already present in Deno Deploy through other means. Both the backend service and frontend API (JS->KV) is the same though :)

It's not exactly that simple. I know an employer in the cabinetry field. It's not genius work in the shop but you can't be asleep.

He pays guys $60k+ and some approach $100k for dependable people that known the field. He has trouble finding people.

The town is full of hundreds of healthy males working for Walmart, oil change shops, non commission retail, and all those sorts.

There is some kind of issue that makes it so someone will work stocking a grocery store for $40k a year instead of screwing a cabinet together for $60k, with opportunities to make it up to $100k in the shop and up to $140k in the office as a project manager once you really know how things are built.

Do you believe that your proposal increases the cybersecurity of society as a whole?

You focus a lot on the rights and conveniences of a company, but the rights of a company are not more important that the security of society as a whole.

There are good guys and bad guys out there looking for vulnerabilities. What you propose reduces the number of good guys more than it reduces the number of bad guys (since bad guys are less likely to follow the law). What you propose shifts the balance towards the bad guys and makes it more likely that vulnerabilities will be discovered first by the bad guys. You also propose security through ignorance; security via hoping that nobody notices.

Again, I would really like to hear you assert that your proposal would increase the cybersecurity of society as a whole. I did not clearly see such an assertion in your comment. I want to see an argument focused on the security of society as a whole.

I assert that we currently reduce our national security for the convenience of companies.

> It's very clear that many tourists want to stay in AirBNB's. This is a valid consumer preference

Well sure it's a valid preference (I'm not sure what an invalid consumer preference looks like), but city governments will (and should!) obviously prioritize the needs of residents over the wants of tourists. Residents want to live in the houses that are currently sitting vacant 4-5 days of the week, and completely empty through large swaths of the winter. It's horribly inefficient. Residents want tourists to stay in hotels, not drunkenly partying every weekend in their own neighborhoods. Residents don't want their rent to keep rising 3x faster than their wages.

It will be frustrating to some tourists and the folks sitting on short term rental empires, but the tourists don't get to vote on these issues and the Airbnb investor gurus are outnumbered.

In the coming years Airbnbs are going to get severely restricted, regulated, and taxed in every major metropolitan area that has both tourism and a housing shortage, because it's such an easy popular thing to do.
> If a producer goes out of business they should be forced to give out a signed firmware that disables the key checking, then they must put up their source code for any users who wish to build and flash it themselves.

Requiring an organization to do even a small amount of engineering as it is going under is simply not going to work in practice.

IMHO the only possible way for something like this to work is to require vendors to upload buildable firmware source into a third-party escrow system before you can ship devices to customers.
