So if I want to create a TV show, I need to hire at least 20 writers? Are there other restrictions on gender, race etc?
They absolutely did. And once you realize that, you will have reached a new level of emotional and intellectual maturity.
Is there some reason they can't just edit the Fandom wiki and modify each page to point at the new one? (Maybe Fandom would revert the changes?)
Maybe, but someone once told me that I don't have a "real job" because I sit at a desk all day. And their perception didn't change when I told them I have a standing desk.
I think the bigger problem is that low income projects don’t “pencil out” a lot of the time. A city can step in and say some percentage of new buildings needs to be for low income but if they get too aggressive then developers will just choose to build elsewhere.
Fair enough, though it's at least equally so for the intuitions of Bergson et. al.
Or you could say a “real fan” is someone who never goes to concerts and only pirates music. Then they have no incentives either way and only listen to music they enjoy!

I tried to find an example of a water system in America that posted cheaper rates after being privatized. I could not. I found a couple of examples of complete disaster though.

Do you have any examples I can read about?

What makes you think this should rebalance on its own? Historically - with the exception of the last ca. 80 years - these imbalances have been the norm. The idea that a person can climb the social ladder through labor is a very new one and I doubt it's going to stay around. Historically wealth and its returns have been inherited and wide-spread rebalancing only occurred during crises, wars or the occasional technological revolution.
I only have one thing to say to all those people who brushed their teeth dutifully all these years.

Suckers!!
I don't know if @skeeter2020's assertion is correct, but it is certainly the goal.

To use a fictional but entirely apt quote:

> I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization, which is, of course, what this is all about: Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.
I've found ProtonPass to be useful. Depending on how you feel about the proton ecosystem. I don't know how much VC money they've taken though.
Yes it's inefficient, but our founders did not prioritize efficiency. The US simply didn't go through the post-industrial revolution reforms that most other countries did. This was due in turn to going through many reforms just before industrialization really took off due to the civil war, and then only a limited domestic effect of the world wars. Thus we have a constitution designed for a primarily agrarian society combined with a government handling revenues from the world's largest and arguably most advanced digital-age economy. Unfortunately the issue is complex and a solution requires changes to multiple facets of government, most of which are not sexy and certainly not the makings of a slogan you can put on a hat. It doesn't help that there are a number of other desperately needed reforms. I imagine things will improve, but probably not soon.
> Companies that handled layoffs poorly are likely to have a harder time convincing ex workers to go back, Sandra Sucher, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School who's studied layoffs, said.

Yeah, you don't need an MBA to know that, but good that's being said

> Salesforce execs, and Benioff in particular, have over the years encouraged workers to view their colleagues and the company itself as "Ohana," a Hawaiian term referring to family.

That's level 8 of drinking your own Koolaid. From Salesforce? I'd consider them only less impersonal than Oracle, and pretty much that's it.

Presumably this was a full cartridge (strictly speaking, the bullet is just the projectile; the cartridge includes the case, primer, and propellant).

Bullets are made of primarily lead; military rounds are always covered with another metal; civilian rounds may or may not be. Either way I wouldn't want to swallow the bullet. Then you have the primer and powder, which I also wouldn't want to swallow.

>In general, I don’t see the point of conceptual art, as it presupposes that the artist has some privileged perspective on the world that they can enlighten us all with.

The privilege is simply that they went out and did it, I think. Someone wants to see what happens when you do XYZ, they do XYZ, and that's it. I don't know why this is taken as a sign of extreme arrogance or anything.
The main benefit of photography is not generating a beautiful or popular image, but teaching you how to really see the world, not just look at it in passing, or have it be the unseen background for an unregarded life.
It is never too late to start something you want to do. Never. Ray Croc was a an average mediocre salesperson until 52 when he got into the McDonald's franchising stuff. Colonel Sanders was 60+ when he started KFC. Eric Yuan was 40+ when he launched Zoom. For every example of a 20+ whizkid, there are plenty of examples of people in their 40s or later who have started something and became successful.

36, you have just graduated out of being a kid (Source: Age 42). You got plenty of time to do things. Age is not your issue. In fact, use the experience you now have to your advantage.
What's not mentioned here is the resentment this may foster among SAG members, who supported the writers and will not appreciate being undermined by their capitulation before actors reach an agreement.

On the other hand, the writers have been on strike longer. In any case, this strike was an absolutely necessary step for both groups. SAG members accepted an insulting, shambolic contract last time around when the studios whined that streaming was "new media" and some kind of uncertain market... when in fact it was well-established and clearly not "new media" but rather the new normal.

The media conglomerates have been riding the gravy train on the backs of actors since then, and their behavior upon being called to account has revealed how despicable their management can be. Universal even vandalized publicly-owned trees to deny picketers a pittance of shade: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/universal-...

A three-year deal doesn't seem long enough, though. These unions' position seems unlikely to get stronger over time.

At any rate, most of these people don't make enough to afford health insurance, let alone write or act as their sole job. It's disappointing to see people disparaging "rich actors" when that's statistically almost none of them.
The issue is far more serious with ChatGPT/similar models because things that are laughably untrue are delivered exactly the same as something that's solidly true. When doing a normal search I can make some assessment on the quality of the source and the likelihood the source is wrong.

People should be able "throw the ideas away if they turn out to be wrong" but the problem is these ideas unconsciously or not help build your model of the world. Once you find out something isn't true it's hard to unpick your mental model of the world.
I am referring to something like this: https://www.newnex.com/images/usb-2-a-male(UH2-AE)_small.png

And yet, the studios came to the bargaining table instead of doing just that. Sounds like they don't have that much confidence in such a plan.

If you own capital (factories, businesses, capital investments) you don't depend on a salary, you're not working class... It's not meaningless, the division is pretty clear.

Do you depend on an employer to afford your life? If you got disabled and couldn't work a single day again in your life, would you be able to afford it without stress? There it is, that's the meaning of "you depend on salary"...

Edit: I also noticed that usually your comments don't really add much to discussions on HN, could you change that behaviour a little bit, please?
Then all they see is the name of the trust...and they still don't know.
It’s not an either/or. Excessive housing regulation and corporate landlords both perpetuate a housing crisis.
> If you always just pick the highest probability option (temperature = 0), it's not random in any way

Huh. That feels like a recipe for either outputting parts of the training data verbatim, or getting stuck in an output loop.

Although I earlier gave an example with 90/9/1 weights where the obvious choice is significantly higher than the others, I'd have thought that in a different scenario where you have, say, 51/49 or 34/33/32 options to choose from, always picking the one with only a fractionally higher confidence than the reasonable alternatives could lead to a "sameyness" in the outputs. Isn't there any value in having variance in the generated responses?
so, you want to set up a system where people change when they live every time they change their job? is this a precursor to company towns?

Would you accept a sewage treatment plant in your neighborhood? How about a metal or semiconductor foundry? Medical waste incinerator? Industrial workers also deserve short commutes between home and work.

I think it's important that people understand what drives labor strategy within industry.

First of all, you should understand how your salary gets paid, as a tech worker. Much of the tech industry is unprofitable, so where does the money come from? It comes from the investments into the company. That money comes from venture capitalists, but not out of their actual pockets. Their money comes from their limited partners -- pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, insurance companies, etc. Even when it comes to profitable companies, like Microsoft, folks should understand that the people who pull the strings in the industry are the investors. AKA the owners of the company. Yesterday's investors generally get paid by tomorrow's. When there's uncertainty of future investment, things change real quick.

For a long period of time, we were in a zero-interest rate regime, and the investor class was obsessed with growth, over all else. Capital is easy to come by when interest rates are low, so the game they are playing is to try to pick sectoral winners, and worry about profitability in the long run. You can't win in the market without the best talent, and so there was an arms race to acquire that talent. Investors will endure dilution from employee stock grants as long as the growth makes up for it.

When interest rates started increasing, to combat inflation, everything changed. Capital was no longer cheap and businesses needed to be able to become self-sustaining, or risk going bankrupt. It's hard to overstate how sharp a change this was from years of declining interest rates.

Some leaders of companies are sociopaths, and others are great humans. In the end, both types of leaders need to be responsive to three forces: capital markets, supply chain markets, and customer markets. The latter two are peculiar to each business, but the macro capital market dynamics are pretty much shared. And that's why it seems like we've seen herd behavior among investors and executives.

But I think it's important to be able to parse between what behaviors is vicious/selfish/exploitative vs. that which responding to changing market forces. I do think that when it's all said and done, we'll see which CEOs are actually able to guide their companies to produce value, and which CEOs just know how to do well with a tailwind.

And before anyone says such towns only account for a small proportion of all cybercrimes, the Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba has himself acknowledged that this one town alone was responsible for more than half of all cybercrimes (where the fraudster was posing as a bank manager) [1]

Given the date, I suspect it was influenced by the Stanford Prison Experiment, which was just three years prior. We now know that Stanford Prison was not an experiment at all [0], but at the time I imagine it was fresh on everyone's minds and believed uncritically.

The proximity to Stanford Prison, coupled with the time (8pm-2am) and her wording ("There are 72 objects on the table that one can use on me as desired. Performance. I am the object.") go a long way towards explaining what happened here. Not that the behavior is acceptable or justified, but that it certainly should not be used to come to any bleak conclusions about humans in general.

EDIT: Also, it's important to note that she had in the prior year performed four different pieces that left her wounded or unconscious. We don't know what they were told in advance, but the audience was almost certainly aware of her MO when they showed up and expecting something intense. That would both have an impact on the kind of person who chose to be there and on their behavior once present.

Because corporate landlords are large enough to price fix in markets they control?
Aren't the async situation in Rust is because the designer want Rust not to be opinionated and be flexible? i.e. you can choose not to have runtime in your app or using runtime that fit your particular needs.
Also: an ordered index that matches the ordering clause in your job-grabbing query. This is useful if you have lots of pending jobs.
Perhaps in total, but I am not sure that is true per person.
This is the bill of goods sold by the for-profit colleges themselves (all colleges are for-profit even if non-profit, the people profiting are the administration and staff, which balloons to consume all revenue).

We could reduce student usury by demanding that all loans be paid back at a maximum percentage of income for a set number of years. If the degree isn't worth 5% of expected job salary for 15 years, too bad. Obviously the numbers can be adjusted but the whole sale pitch is "spend $X, get a leg up on the pile and make twice $x yearly". Just codify that, and suddenly the loan companies are on the hook for $500k loans for basketweaving degrees that produce baristas.
Did you consider that everyone might have been making a mistake when they equated taking on large loans with getting out of poverty?
This was even worse in the case against MS. They were, somehow, taken at face value that they would not abuse purchasing Activision. For... reasons?
CH1 mic worked for me, but only after I also turned on CH2 mic. CH1 mic turns off if CH2 mic turns off.

But you can see both channels work (if both are on mic) by sliding the position of one of the channels. Not certain if it's actually using stereo input on my mac, but they are different. I couldn't do anything to deliberately make one louder than the other.
They should be worried about what they're gonna do with all their free time, now that they have a tool that helps them identify skin conditions much faster than ever before.

Same as programmers and artists.

It's a tool.

It must be used by humans.

It won't replace them, it will augment them.
Thank you for a great product. Carry on.

"Surviving" in harsh environments until they get somewhere nicer is their entire purpose, and they're very good at it.
Same strategy as Adobe's Firefly, which was trained on their catalog of stock images.

Not so long ago many predicted that stock image sites will eventually become obsolete or at least much less important due to AI image generators. But it might turn out that stock image sites are uniquely positioned to dominate commercial AI image generation because of the "ethically sourced" high quality training data they posses.

They might still have minor legal fights whether this is a legal way to use the data licenses to them, but the list of people who could possibly sue is much shorter, known to the stock image site, and consists of people who have already signed some form of contract about the use of these images. The legal risks are well scoped and predictable, unlike "we scraped the internet" models.
20 years ago when we renovated an old house, while the electrician was digging chases into the walls i asked him to add an extra empty pipe for ethernet next to each cable pipe. it barely cost any extra work, and later i ran the ethernet cable myself with the help of a friend.

i don't live in that house any more, but my usage patterns with a laptop moving around frequently make wifi a far more practical experience. the extra effort of cabling just isn't worth the cost.

in a larger houses i'd want one ethernet cable from the entrance to the center and to the back so that you can hook up multiple wifi access points, but that's it.
The Wing Commander one was a myth. See https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/16279 and its HN discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37564217
Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but I like to think that the allocator is a good precedent.

Similar to the async runtime most software needs one and most developers don't care much which one they use and are happy with the default allocator. Another similarity is that both are not just some ordinary old library but required by language features. We also usually don't use multiple ones in a single application.

Still we allow the developer to choose an allocator or bring their own one.
It is incomplete in that it cannot replace older ideas of time in all contexts. It is perfectly valid/complete for use in scientific contexts. But the general population's use the idea of time for other purposes as well where Einsteins purely Relativistic formulation cannot be a stand in replacement is how I read it.
I think a tax on vacant properties is potentially a better way to go, though checking and enforcement could be the issue (exempting one's primary and maybe secondary homes); multi-unit housing would also be exempt.

This would place more downward pressure on rents and decrease the investment upside on buying.

I'm sure this is a bad idea in a number of ways I haven't considered.
> pretty toxic community

This is immaterial when every community (Reddit, HN, twitter, fb groups, blind) calls each other "toxic." Spidermen_pointing.jpeg. Blind is by far the best for tech career advice. Toxic advice for a toxic world.
> Likely the requirements listed will be inaccurate as well.

Where are the requirements actually accurate?

For what it's worth, the actual written requirements for many tech jobs are very questionable. In many cases, there's a big disconnect between the people writing the job ads and the people who actually communicate what they want.

And out of sheer laziness or lack of knowledge, there are plenty of recruiters that do things like post JavaScript jobs as Java jobs, as one example I've seen.
Who forced these students to take the loans, exactly? Do you have a list of names?
they don't care about mDAU anymore, that was for public markets. Elon's metric is "unregretted user minutes", however that is measured idk
From your first link, "Sarcotacid" would make for a great insult. It's a parasite that "prefers attaching to the rectum" (of fish), and females grow into "huge, warty pustules."

The pictures are horrific, lol. One of them looks like a bruised and infected scrotum. ...Actually they both kind of do in different ways.
Tokaido Shinkansen N700/700S. There are lots of upsides to HSR such as extremely good seat pitch and total absence of security theater, and it's true that the airliners has a loud constant white noise, but when it comes to noise and vibrations, I feel airplanes less... intermittent and less interrupting. Those Recaro camp chairs aren't too bad either.

Not only technological.
I'm sorry, but I just snapped. Seen too many of such comments.

I agree, it does not excuse my response. Thank you for doing the thankless job of keeping this forum running on track.
What government policy would allow for a 2k apartment building and not a $500 apartment building?

I just don't buy this argument. The reason there's not a $500 apartments being built is because by expanding the residence out just a tiny bit you can charge $2000 for the same space that 2 $500 apartments would occupy.

I'm seeing this play out where I live that has practically no zoning laws or regulations (LOTS of building in unincorporated land). There's almost no $500 housing going in but a lot of new luxery apartments.

Boise ID, for reference.
Nice result.

I agree, dithering on these devices works really well. After this project I worked on displaying images of the sun from the NOAA satellite. Until I got dithering working displaying the image with just 4 levels of grey was was very lackluster.
Is Consciousness Part of the Fabric of the Universe?
I think the whole "IO bound" thing has taken on a life of its own and attained a legendary status that is not always an accurate reflection of reality. People often seem to model things as if "waiting on the DB" is all their system does and the code they wrote executes in exactly 0 nanoseconds, but that's not how it works. It isn't actually that hard to talk to a relatively local database with some well-optimized query and be doing CPU work either comparable to the wait you spent on the DB, or even greatly exceeding it, at which point your language's performance in fact does matter, potentially even dominates.
