> He reads headlines of UAW workers going on strike to ask a company making $10b/yr in profit to give them a bit more and he sides on the side of the company, you know what I mean?

He makes a good point though. Ford's current return on equity is a bit north of 9%, there's really not much more squeeze to give. People like to think of companies as giant monoliths of money that can be freely diverted, but that's really not the case. The other big automakers are roughly around the same place I believe, so it's really not that far off. 10% is roughly the RoE you're looking at for the auto sector, going higher means they're somehow getting capital for cheap, too low and they're not efficiently deploying capital and should just return it to shareholders for better use elsewhere.

The current two-tier system doesn't make much sense and is mostly a relic of the 08 era, but the current union demands are just ludicrous. The union protected old members at the expense of new ones, and a re-negotiation of that makes sense, but most of the other demands are nonsensical.

> He thinks that what we classify as a $20/hr job in America is $2/hr elsewhere.

Seeing as low-skill service workers are making $20/hr in major cities, and $2/hr is literally what the exact same job gets you in developing countries, he's not wrong? The guy manning the Walmart checkout counter probably makes close to 10x what the guy manning the same counter in, say, Bangalore.

> If that's the case culturally and the Chinese value working hard (where as in America if you scroll on Instagram you'll see 5-10 memes recommended to you about 'you are not your job, fck your job, fck your meeting'), why is our economy more successful than theirs?

There are other factors of play, of course. Labour productivity is only one part of the economy, arguably not even the most important. If "working hard" is all that's required for a strong economy, then yes the Chinese with their 996 schedules would have the strongest in the world. So would the rest of the developing world.

The rest of the story is the boring economic stuff that nobody outside of finance thinks about: highly functional capital markets, low costs of capital, strong investor protections, strong disclosure regimes, existing structures around accountability, a managerial class that's somewhat aligned with investor objectives, etc. Things that many countries are trying to develop, albeit without much success.

The US model is not the only path towards success -- there are many others, and many are hard to replicate. Singapore was invited to try duplicating their success in China and it was mostly a failure. Export-led growth has served many other Asian countries well, but many get stuck in the middle income trap. Truly climbing into a developed economy is a hard task, one that not many succeed in.
I'm sure that may be true among ignorant Kiwis, but your racist uncle didn't write the OP's article or the history sources, which don't make that claim. So them posting the Spinoff article in response doesn't address the actual events.
I’m really unsure why this is front page. For a hacker news audience that has little knowledge of Aotearoa New Zealand history, this is an odd first introduction that has historically been used to vilify Maori and in turn justify colonisation. If this is your first exposure to the history of Maori, please know this emphasis carries its own agenda.
Isn't Google going to get some sort of sanction for this specifically? I'm having a hard time following it all now, but I remember reading that the DOJ was going to "sanction" Google and have been waiting for the court case to begin to see what that will amount to.

Not necessarily. All this could be reported up to airline HQ through the satellite link and then the IFE/customer WiFi could be downloading it again to serve locally.

That would prevent any need for direct connection between the systems.

Is that how it works? I doubt it. But it could be done.
I think what IS unique to Europeans is:

1) Colonised the globe

2) Started a system of global resource extraction and slavery

3) Built an entire system of economic development based on this extraction which vastly enriched said Europeans and disadvantaged the colonised peoples

4) Deliberately nobbled attempts by those from which the wealth is being extracted to share in the economic gains through shady business, military and political tactics

5) Refusal to acknowledge the role of that extraction in their continued success (those [INSERT PEJORATIVE NAME FOR THE COLONISED HERE] just need to do better!)

I mean, I don't know if it's unique in all history but it's certainly unique when comparing local conflict pre-colonisation with European colonisation.
What a delightful website to see as I sit here on the capitol corridor to Sacramento.

I love Amtrak. I love trains. People say the US has bad public transit, and they're not wrong, but I love that I can get from my front door in the Netherlands to downtown Sac via SFO without setting foot in a car. Ironically I think it's more convenient to get to Oakland Airport from Sacramento than SMF.

The Netherlands has great trains but the beer is better on this one.

I suggest trying one of the open source internship programs, especially something related to the Linux kernel will definitely get you enough networking to get a job. The FOSSjobs site has lots of jobs in open source too. Also try contributing to existing projects too, that will get you noticed more than posting stuff on your GitHub.

> Right now, you need an image of an empty room

I needed an image of an empty room recently. I just took a photo of my very not empty room, ran it through a canny algorithm, painted out the objects with black, and then used stable diffusion with canny controlnet to generate an empty room. Worked pretty well. Did not look that much like the original room, but it was certainly good enough to check furniture placement etc.
You're right that the paragraph you've quoted could be read that way, and is badly worded, to the point where, without any additional context, it could be interpreted to be saying that the genocide is a myth. But there is additional context, and the rest of the article makes no attempt to deny the genocide and enslavement of the Moriori. The Moriori weren't pre-Maori people, and they weren't completely obliterated (by the 900 Maori that attacked them) - that's the myth.
You don't have unregulated "perfectly legal speech" on Hacker News; posts can be downvoted until they disappear at the whim of users. That doesn't seem to have doomed the platform.

Too much toxic content and spam, and I think there's a big overlap between the two, will make a platform unusable or at least undesirable to many. That's what happened to Usenet.

Whenever I see software under v1, I see developers who are afraid of commitment.

There’s nothing special about v1, there’s no reason to keep a useless zero for a decade. At some point you gotta realize you’ve been using the minor version as a major so that v0.39.0 is just v39.0.

Apple recently realized the same thing when they stopped releasing 10.x versions and just did 11.0 after 20 years.
Good point that I hadn't thought about in the situation.
This seems to describe the heart challenges I was going through for almost two years with long covid. That covid can infect the arteries of the heart and make the fatty plaque inside the arteries highly inflamed and acts as a reservoir for the virus.

I would feel like I was going to have a heart attack at any given moment and regular heart palpitations, but all cardiologists would clear me through tests.

That's my naive understanding of this research. Anyone care to help explain further?
It sounds like you were on the accursed coast starlate. Back in the day it was routinely 6-12 hours late - so much so that I relied on that fact when booking tickets (no way did I want to get up at 5 AM to catch the Sacramento to San Luis Obispo train).

I thought it had improved since 20 years ago :-\
Would you care to elaborate on why?

I had to work on one and didn't really see what the fuss was about. Performance still sucked compared to a Cray2. I mean it was supposed to be a Supercomputer...

I/O was painfully slow so unless you were not planning on looking at your results or your results were a few numbers it may have been ok. We were doing 2d and 3d simulations and periodically outputting large amounts of data to make movies from the simulations. It would run for a few minutes and then stop for several times that to get the data out.
Those could apply to an air taxi service or something using helicopters as well.
Apple can blend their bot traffic in with their customer relay traffic.

Blocking iPhones to block Apple's search bots means blocking your more valuable customers.

Which is not to say I think Apple can pull off web search, but making the crawling work isn't going to be their problem.
I guess…but it’s more than just map quality. Google Maps is good because it’s easy to navigate with AND it has a bunch of scraped search engine data behind it as well.

Unfortunately the tentacles of advertising have been creeping into Google Maps for a while - but that’s one more input into the mapping space that Apple can’t replicate (for better and worse).

I agree on the “vibe” there. In the mid-90s when I was in high school I got access to a cm-2 to figure out how to transform sparse matrices using genetic algorithms on that massively parallel architecture. Good times!
> This is evidenced by the fact that if Mistral's engineers had to make modifications to this model, they would use other code to do so.

It’s a PyTorch model. There is no secret internal code required to interact with it. You can write whatever you want. Unless you’re implying that in order to call this model open source they need to get all of PyTorch on the same license. You can write whatever you want to edit the weights.

Open source does not require babysit walking people through the basic competency steps of understanding how the tools of this domain work.

This model is 100% the preferred form of work for making modifications to it as evidenced by the large community oriented around sharing and adapting models from exactly this format.

And no, I’m calling you for changing your argument again. You were saying dumb shit about how they needed to open source all the data needed to train this thing from scratch, which is another wildly different argument.
Very helpful, are there open source internship programs for web devs?
It's more like if you'd written "if you're going to be that brazen about killing someone, at least go to the effort of hiding the body, but ideally don't kill someone at all." It would be a bit questionable to have even said something like "at least try hiding the body "
I agree, and that is a great idea.

It would not solve all the problems, since not every user can set this up for themselves, but it would help a lot in the retro-computing world.
It's called "Social Media".
Well, JWZ is the prime example considering that jwz.org would replace hotlinked images with a photo of testicles. So, every image on every blog post to jwz.org when viewed on, say, Google Reader.
This analogy is naïve. There is plenty of evidence of extermination behavior among early native Americans. In more recent times, the Anasazi were especially feared by their neighbors for the horrors they'd inflict.

It couldn’t keep pace with a Cray for any tasks that weren’t optimized for its architecture. If your problem fit the SIMD model like the genetic algorithms I was implementing at the time it was just amazing.
Their motto (after “don’t be evil” was phased out) was something like “organizing the information of the world, making it accessible for everyone”.

This is mostly correct, but in an extremely unhelpful way.

Inflation-adjusted CAGR over the past 30 years is ~~10~~7%. During that time, the average P/E ratio of the S&P 500 (that's what I could easily find) has hovered pretty consistently around 15-20. So the rise in equity prices is, as far as I can tell, directly attributable to increases in earnings (as it should be; after all, theoretically, stock prices are discounted future cash flows).

Directly adjust for money supply is not a particularly good way of measuring, well, anything. There's a reason talk about M1/M2/etc have mostly fallen out of favour: we realised that they don't really mean anything, and the numbers are mostly useless for crafting policy or analysing things we care about.

Adjusting for inflation is the standard metric for good reason. That's a much better measurement of real economic growth (real in this context usually means adjusting for inflation, instead of money supply. Almost nobody does the latter). Money supply should grow with economic activity; it would be strange for a much larger economy to be measured relative to a much smaller relative money supply.
It would be relatively easy to do better, for an org like Apple. It’s a no-brainer really with how awful google search has become. Easier than maps IMO and Apple has managed that.

Apple could, and eventually did, pull off a competitor to Google Maps. It launched highly flawed and incomplete, which earned its bad reputation. But it’s quite good now IME, and I prefer it to GM most of the time.

The plane has a transponder that reports this information to the ground, ATC, other aircraft etc. The infotainment server has a receiver that gets this data. Or in some cases they instead pull it from a ground based service via the internet. The transponder is not able to receive signals, so it is air gapped.
Reminds me of the Ming Mecca modules by Special Stage Systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63ay74S34XI

My main problem with Chomsky is that he's intellectually dishonest. He picks his positions, then redefines words and picks facts or parts of facts that support his position and ignores others. He twists narratives dismisses anything that contradicts with his position as conspiracy. I used to like Chomsky when I was initially introduces to him because I agreed with a lot of his leftist ideologies. But being so intellectually dishonest in supporting them makes him no better than an Alex Jones of the intellectual left.
And Apple also refused to give Google real time continuous location data of iPhone users in exchange for turn by turn directions.

That’s why they decided to introduce Apple Maps a year early.

You're right the focus of the two articles is different. But some of the early comments on this thread did not seem to be making that distinction, so I added that link (to an article from one of nz most respected media companies, written by a PHD holding policy researcher at a national university) just try and add some context for the many people who might be hearing about this part of nz history for the first time.
Courts can issue sanctions for failure to cooperate in discovery. There's a big list of possible sanctions here [1] under "Sanctions Sought in the District Where the Action Is Pending."

I like to put out peanuts in the backyard for the local gang of crows. It's funny to watch them move like a SWAT team: a small group will come, and one of them will hang out at a distance as a lookout, while the others move in for the nuts (I scatter them around a little). One little guy likes to look under a planter box at a specific location, and sometimes I will put a couple of nuts there just for him.

The nuts cost me $3 at Trader Joes and a packet lasts a week, so I think that's the best $0.50 I spend in a day.

I plan to ramp up the difficulty of obtaining nuts slowly over time, just to see how many can get it.

What you have described doesn't sound that unique to Europeans. The article this discussion was spawned from describes behaviour by Maori against the Moriori that mirrors most of your described points.

I would argue that throughout history, people have been acting like shits to each other, regardless of their point of origin, race, religion, or culture. We're just finally enlightened enough to be examining this behaviour through a critical eye.
Pretty watchable when scaled down, considering it would fit on a few floppies.

MAME (and many of the other projects listed in other comments here) developers have gone on the record of saying 1.0 would be a fully accurate emulator of all arcade machines (before they added general machines and consoles) and that they will probably never achieve that.
Yup, getting the the problem to fit the machine was hard. I thought NCUBE was better than the CM1 for doing actual work.

Some people resorted to just running each node separately, after the initial conditions were set up there was no need for communications. That was one way around having to be clever and adapt your algorithm. They would run for days, sometimes because nobody else was on the machines :)

At one point I got my 2D code running on a CM2 (IIRC), one of the nodes was bad and the Fortran log function always returned 0. So when I made the movie of my simulation there was one tile/rectangle that was just blank. Afterwards they asked me if they could use my program as a diagnostic tool to verify all the nodes were working correctly. :))

I moved one from parallel and supercomputers when I graduated. Don't miss them that much.
