Aside from the challenges of switching over deeply-ingrained systems, it's really hard for me to make the case for DB pensions today, especially with them largely gone from the private sector.

Yes, a lot of people don't voluntarily save for retirement as much as they should to supplement social security and other benefit programs. But my response to that is something the lines of "OK. Let's stipulate that's an issue. Why are we only solving it for public sector employees?" I suspect the answer is at least partly because voters won't give us enough money to pay today's salaries so we need to obfuscate our costs and kick the can down the road. But that's not a very satisfactory answer.

This is the same logic that says bitcoin encouraged green power building but in reality they just absorb the excess power from the cheapest source available so they're essentially offsetting any new power generation by simply consuming more power when it's available. They anchor the rate around what is profitable to mine at so power doesn't get lower unless/until mining becomes less profitable.
Sure, and that's a lesson for all other nuclear and potentially nuclear states.

Ukraine as part of disarmament treaties even send russia Kh-55 cruise missiles and Tu-160 strategic bombers that are now used against them.
By ownership, the OP means "accountable in the micro". Even if you don't own the company or the macro, there is a sense of cultivating your own skills and mental well-being when you make yourself accountable in the micro.
I am curious what it takes to get this sweet deal. Surely anyone can join in the mining and get paid to do nothing on the wonky Texas grid and when you can run - deliver nothing of positive value to society.

Does one need a minimum number of rigs? Maybe a permit? Just apply to the utility?

I’d rather be paid than volunteer to sit around in the dark, sweating like a chump.
Yeap, that was the main reason for building this client-side extension/module - so that we, developers, can execute the functions from the application source and our preferred IDEs.

From the incentives, having blackouts is more financially desirable than overbuilding. This situation isn’t surprising.

It sucks if you’re like, you know, a person living there, but in terms of finance incentives, it’s close to the best possible outcome, right?
I graduated in 2020 and absolutely feel that my learning and career have suffered immensely. This is a very common thought amongst people in my cohort.
Clearly I need to start Big Resistor Inc. It's just a big connection across the grid that wastes megawatts of energy, but I can get paid for turning it off.
It's so weird because I thought the whole point of ERCOT was to be a market and use market forces to solve everything.

So why are they paying bitcoin miners to turn off, rather than just charging them market rates at all times and letting them decide for themselves?

I feel like I'm missing something here.
I'm not just talking about criminals, I'm talking about normal human interaction. Game theory. How would societies form if not for cooperation? How is cooperation ensured without feedback mechanisms to enforce it? This can all emerge from deterministic processes, same as many other things in nature.

In your final paragraph you seem to be saying (meaningful) free will doesn't exist? If so, I agree. The thing I really wonder about is why it seems that it does.
If it isn't Arduino, then it will be MicroPython/CiruitPython and you won't even need a compiler.

Before the blockchain hate gets too intense just wanted to remind that Bitcoin is the odd one out using a proof-of-work algorithm. Pretty much every other project uses a security technique that is light on power-consumption.

Interesting idea, of course it seems very unlikely, but running with it, what could potential tells be? I imagine there might be tells something weird is off if you got really close to them, so they may stay on the periphery of most humans lives and largely stick to their own (definitely at least for mating).

I'd bet you could tell with DNA analysis, or through other medical means such as scans since they wouldn't have had time to adjust for that. If even a single mimic was found the secret would get out, so they'd have to be very good at avoiding the medical world.

I guess you'd probably be looking at either small groups of particularly successful people who have the resources to keep their mimicry hidden and keep to themselves (nobility?), or at some societal outcasts that roam around, never getting close to anyone.

They'd somehow have to avoid their nature being discovered even after death which may be one of the harder things to believe, since presumably they could also die suddenly from accidents etc. which would often prompt careful medical examination which would then reveal the truth. Of course it's possible some individuals did discover the truth, but no one believe them, but it's hard to imagine that at scale. So if these mimics exist, we're probably talking a few hundred or thousand of them at most
The keyboard... in some ways it sucks, but in other ways. the thing has 100 buttons. that kind of kicks ass, but what I want to talk about is the mouse.

The mouse for first person games was stroke of genius.... no wait what am I talking about it was a huge fluke. if you asked any one to design a controller for a first person game. absolutely no one would design a mouse. the fact that a thing designed as a proxy for touch screens due to hardware limitations works so well at the task is amazing. Actually come to think about it the mouse is in many ways better than touch screens. The big disadvantage is that you have to work remotely, but this is easily learned. but now not only do you not have anything(your huge mitt) obscuring the screen, the touch zone can become very precise and it allow for much more touch dexterity with multiple buttons. touch screens do allow for multi finger gestures but these are area not point controls. On the whole I would say the mouse wins, that is. in the cases where you can put a mouse down.

Perhaps if they put the touch screen on the back of the phone, and added a few side buttons for touch dexterity. And we might have unicorns. It would be too hard a sell, to the wrong audience. touch screens work well enough... but they could be so much better.

Are you fine getting $0 salary for the year if your area of ownership doesn't do well that year?
The idea of getting 10% of ESP32 revenues sounds pretty funny to me. Based on how absurdly cheap I can buy the assembled boards and have them shipped across the globe, I imagine the margins are razor thin on those anyways. And if they raised prices, I'd move to other products.
Whereas I made the opposite mistake of having firstname@outlook.com

I get ungodly amounts of spam, relentlessly, from everyone. Because anyone over the age of 50 seems to give it as their email to companies like Target.
They became popular in LA during 'Rona. They're still around in a lot of places but definitely less. We like real menus.
Agree, I’m also a fan of CLI.

That’s why I developed a CLI brower ( https://sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk/ ). When reading the title, I clicked hoping to see some alternatives or innovative solution to browse the web from a terminal.

Turns out it’s the opposite : putting a terminal in a web browser.
This seems to heavily exaggerate the problem IMHO. Most sane people don't replace any of the basic tools like exa on critical infra that is expected to be low maintenance. Exa is a tool you install in terminals you personally use, purely for your personal comfort. And due to this situation it needs to be manually updated to a new name/new source, it's a one time operation. Surely not ideal, but hardly an unsurmountable obstacle. People using tools like this aren't exactly the sort of audience that is unfamiliar with having to install/uninstall a package.
I don't think this likely. In professional environments no one uses the Arduino IDE. Hobbyist projects don't move the needle in chip sales.

My pension currently uses around 6% assumed rate of return for the purposes of calculating unfunded liability, and has, over the past 24 years, returned 6.03%.

Further, keep in mind that the real pension costs are actual dollars leaving the fund and are not directly affected by assumed discount rates. The effect of a low discount rate is simply to have more money in the pension fund, but at the end of the day the liabilities are the liabilities and the discount rate doesn't enter into it. It may be wise to put more away now, but even pay-as-you-go pensions have a long history of working out even if there is greater risk.
Amen is Hebrew?

The lessee. Early on a lot of unhappy people damaged the meters - you don't have to pay if the meter is broken. They learned from this and the current meters are very robust.
You don’t get the same outcome.

Consider the payment as the cost of maintaining demand during periods where you don’t want it.

It's like a factory that can only produce 100 widgets each week, nothing more or less. Ideally you want to always sell 100 widgets each week (supply = demand). You could build a smaller factor that only makes 60 widgets, but the cost per widget would be 50% higher and at market rates you can't make enough money to justify the investment.

So what you do is build the 100 widget factory and you sign up a customer who will always buy 40 widgets each week, and the remaining 60 widgets you sell to smaller customers.

If suddenly the demand from smaller customers hits 90 widgets one week, you don't want to just cut off the 40 widget customer and say "tough shit", because they may not come back and you're stuck with 40 widgets each week you can't sell.

So you pay them money in exchange for accepting a lower supply of widgets that week.

Even with the payments, net-net you’re better off because during the 50 weeks per year when smaller customers only buy 60 widgets, overall your set up is more efficient.
Is this an M2 Ultra with 192 GB of unified memory, or the standard version with 64 GB of unified memory?
You're skipping some steps there. Maybe I am too? Let me spell out my thinking more clearly:

- "Qualia" are subjective conscious experiences; you know they're real because you experience them yourself.

- We all assume that other people have them too (ignoring abstract philosophical debates around "zombies").

- Sounds like you assume dogs have them too -- because dogs act as if they're conscious, right?

- However, some people assert that computers cannot have qualia, by the "Chinese Room" argument.

My position is that the "Chinese Room" argument is meaningless if we don't understand anything about the basis of qualia in the first place -- and we don't. Where does the "only biological entities" requirement come from? Do bacteria have consciousness? Where do you draw the line?

In contrast, "if it acts as if it's conscious, maybe it is conscious" at least seems logically consistent. It looks pretty likely that computers could act as if they're conscious, if AI continues to advance. Maybe they would really be conscious and maybe they wouldn't, who knows? But I haven't seen any convincing argument to rule it out.

To repeat, the only direct confirmation of qualia we have is our own subjective experiences. Everything else is guesswork.

No, in fact I would say almost the exact opposite. Einstein's famous quote was expressing his distaste for the "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics. Among people who seriously think about interpretations of quantum mechanics, many (but not all) think that there are serious flaws with the Copenhagen interpretation.
There's been lots of construction, but growth in demand is 7x higher than previous years. It takes time to build and connect plants.
I didn’t live here in previous years, but I think it’s abnormal that multiple days in a week demand is estimated to be above supply.

And yes, it’s most efficient to keep supply and demand close. But based on this article and our recent trends, it seems like there’s some trouble / concern with unlocking the extra energy needed to supply everyone lately.
Rotten Tomatoes, owned by Warner Bros. and NBC, part of Fandango Media, a movie ticketing company.

One would have to work hard to prove they were NOT biased in the first place, or at least since 2011 when they sold out to the movie industry.

FYI, the other big name in movie reviews, IMDb, has been owned by Amazon since 1998 (color me surprised, I didn't know it had been this long until I checked on Wikipedia), and they also had their own streaming service, IMDb TV, now called Amazon Freevee.
As other replies noted, no one is looking for or setting the bar at simultaneous and equal action.

Nearly any action in proportion to the harm would be sufficient.

It’s a common principle in law, actually.

For instance, with speeders - if literally no one including folks going 20 over the speed limit get a ticket for years in a town, and then the Sheriff’s political opponent gets a huge ticket and his car impounded for going 5 over, would that be ok?

What about if the Dr. treated everyone, except for his childhood bully which was dying of cancer?

Monopolistic and anti-trade behavior is going nuts everywhere, in almost every industry. From meat packing to shipping to tech.
I like this articulation. I might modify it slightly because you have, in turn, implied that posters are gaslighting the reader. When, in fact, they are merely exposing a defense mechanism. They say that every pessimist is a dissappointed optimist, and something similar has happened here. It is pitiful cowardice, and an unwitting collaboration with the corrupt, rather than an intentional one.

In the end, they need a scolding that will perhaps shame them into remembering they have a backbone. But I suggest that imprecision with the scold will reduce the efficacy of this bitter medicine, and the poster will focus on the minor inaccuracy of your analysis compare it with their own pure intent, dismissing the scold as bad faith. If instead you note that it is cowardice, and add a spoonful of pity to the scold, and remove the minor inaccuracy, it may have a greater effect.

What is the difference between PlatformIO and something you use to develop for an Embedded platform? To me it seems PlatformIO is just a wrapper around the same command-line tools used by other companies.
Nice try but the contract has revenue guarantees. The city has to pay whether or not the parking spaces get used.
Not only the steps do to this properly would probably kill most companies, but investors would avoid such company like the plague.

They'd basically need to lose all protection on their product, making it a de facto open source (note that there are companies operating on open source stuff, but they actually make money out of the things they don't open source - such as "pro version" or know how). Plus, investors value the pool of recurring customers far more than basic cash flow or such (because you can squeeze them more) and the next best thing is customers you can make recurring customers by moving your product to a subscription model.
> People seem to underestimate and overlook the importance of prompts.

We do this to each other as well. Being able to communicate clear, concise, and complete requests will produce better results with both humans and LLMs. What is interesting is that we can experiment with prompts against machines at a scale we cannot with other people. I'd really like to see more work towards leveraging this feature to improve our human interactions, kind of like empathy training in VR
Read it again -- they were saying we have memory of neither. Note it says "these states".
The taxes are already high, the population is decreasing, and that's not counting enormous pension underfunding at the city and state level. There has been lots written about this for decades, during which the problems got worse. See e.g. https://www.chicagofed.org/publications/chicago-fed-letter/2...
＞ How you handle feedback and responsibility with your direct-reports is going (most of the time) how you do/ought to do things with your own children

Your children don't have the option to show you the finger and move to another family. Nor (hopefuly) are you paying them to be your kids.

I think it fundamentally changes what you should expect from one and not the other, especially regarding responsibilities and ownership. And I'm sure you won't address your son not taking out the trash the same you'd deal with a team member that don't release the features on time.
It's up there with "java.text.SimpleDateFormat is not threadsafe". SONAR catches that at least.
You have to make a creditable threat first. My guess is even though bit being paid not to mine bitcoin is where the money is, they would still lose money overall if they didn't mine bitcoin at the time when they were not paid to not use power.

That is you need to buy servers and keep them functional in order to get the subsidy. The subsidy isn't enough pay for the servers on its own. Probably bitcoin itself doesn't pay enough for the servers/power/space it needs anymore, though that requires analysis that I can't perform.
Do you have examples where this is the case? In my experience, they've always seemed mutually exclusive.
In Turkish those are "anne" (an-ney) and "baba"... And "mama" means baby food!

Is this giving away the keys to the kingdom?

Is the blur on the videos enough to keep the proprietary components concealed? Seems like a state actor could easily reverse this filter and learn the underlying shapes.

How much isn't revealed by this tour? This seems like it's giving away quite a lot of the EUV process. Or has all of the content of the video been publicly known (or stolen previously)?

I get that this might excite young people into entering the field, but if the US is trying to gatekeep advanced processors, this feels like showing off a lot of the secret sauce.

How long do we think it'll take a foreign actor to replicate EUV, and how far along do we think we'll be into the next process by then?
I was hoping more for the aha moment where they realize how invasive it is to ask for the information.

Of course this won't matter because the poor counter employee has no control. It's faceless corporations taking this information, the responsibility is too diluted for anyone to turn that ship around.
WHATWG rejects ".://", yeah? It's not the most readable spec, but there's a tester here:

I recently published bindings for ada (an implementation of the WHATWG URL Spec) for Python with the hope of having something that follows a single standard.
Another way to see this is that regulation can drastically change "modern reality". Require a software bill of materials and the NPM dependency nightmare will soon cease to be a reality.
They already abandoned open source, their newest boards (arduino pro) are closed source.
This is all very theoretical in nature. In fact, I don't know of any U.S.-based company who successfully outsourced their whole operations to South America, India, or, as the comment above the one I am responding to proposed, Canada.

Time zone is one reason.
The other is about work culture, ways of culture, schools, the academic world, the media, the circle of friends that often overlaps with the circle of professional acquaintances, the expectations.
> Can't build stable societies on fear.

Yes, you're right. I meant to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson: “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” And indeed democracy isn't liberty, it's just the least bad attempt to achieve a bunch of laudable goals.
True, and maybe we could say this about almost anything in the Universe

I got one of these "someone request a password reset" mails from Facebook yesterday. I don't think I've had one before, and my email on its own domain I've had for ~20 years doesn't seem to be one people type by mistake.

I thought it was probably phishing, yet the links all looked legitimate, including the one for password reset and the one to tell Facebook I didn't request the reset.

So I thought it might be a homoglyph attack (a URL that looks legitimate but isn't because it's using alternate characters that look the same or similar), and rather than click the link saying I didn't request the password reset, I logged into Facebook hoping to find a notification or something in the account settings logging that it was a genuine request.

I was surprised to see no notifcation, nor anything in the account settings and security area.

I was also surprised to see I needed to login again, as I thought Facebook kept a long term session open for longer than the 2 weeks since I'd visited it previously.

If it was a tricky method to get me to login to Facebook again, it worked! But I didn't stay long after I didn't find what I was looking for.
Alternatively, a better option: as a human need, maybe energy production shouldn’t _strictly_ follow market incentives and shouldn’t be _solely_ governed by supply/demand dynamics
