That mostly seems reasonable. Get in a car crash? Your car premiums go up. Get in a bike accident and need medical care? Your medical premiums go up. Have too high a body fat? Higher premiums. Smoke? Higher premiums.

With a single payer system you could also price it into things like red meat and alcohol through a sales tax that goes to insurance.

Hi Alex, great catch -> We didn't solve consistency, but we saw that if you regenerate a few times, you usually get something that's visually similar. Right now AI artists all do loads of postprocessing - using AI, so later we might have a "smear" feature that inpaints the inconsistent part. Let me know if you have thoughts on this
> I'd probably start flat tipping 5 - 10 dollars per visit rather than a percentage

I hear you. All I'm saying is that based on the real example of California, most people don't do this. (And most servers don't expect it.)
The name of the city is “Garching bei München” which translates to “Garching near Munich”. This disambiguates it from „Garching an der Alz“. (Although Jülich is just called Jülich.)
I'm surprised it's not somewhere like Spokane or Bakersfield. Smaller cities in states with high minimum wages (plus stronger social safety nets).
Pre-elon twitter banned some nazis, sometimes, there were still plenty of them around. It also banned a-lot of normal people who were questioning official narratives, people who just so happened to get report-bombed, people who were joking around with eachother about innocuous things that weren't against the ToS, people who governments wanted banned, etc etc.

All of that has gotten much better, and appeals are approved much faster, much more often. It used to be if you replied to a tweet disagreeing with someone, and their fans/followers report bombed you, you'd get banned with no recourse. That's fixed now.

Also, my impression of recent twitter is that it's very heavy on user silo's now, sure if you search for objectionable content you'll find it, that's not unique to twitter, but you don't really happen upon it unless you're following people who post things you find objectionable.

I don't really see anything wrong with that model, and if you're truly worried about nazi's, wouldn't you rather it's on a public cleartext platform instead of on something like session where it's mathematically unable to be seen/policed by -anyone- not directly involved?

And like, I'm no fan of Ol'Musky, I think his accomplishments are mostly him attracting talented people and then taking credit for it, but to say that twitter isn't safer/better now... idk, seems like it is by any measure, which might be because it was horrible before, and it's simply less horrible now, but, still, less horrible all the same.
I think the problems are pro drivers and the issues with ROCm being buggy not the open source graphics drivers.
>Nothing about that arrangement attracts me, especially given the abusive nature of the industry and the frequency that they go through crunch, lack any real worker protections, no unions, etc.

I'd beg to differ on this point. Lots of changes have been made in game development culture including less crunch culture[0]. Worker protection/unions aren't exactly something that's afforded to many white collar jobs in the first place, not sure why that would be an expectation here. Even so, there have been improvements to this - e.g. the Game Workers Alliance. I encourage you to ask developers this question today.

>No game dev company out there seems to treat its staff well during a game's development, so even if I wanted to work on a game as part of a team, I'd be looking at a poor work/life balance and a stressful work environment. I'm too old for that kind of BS.

There are game companies that do treat their staff well! I don't think it's fair to make blanket statements like this when there are a ton of studios with a ton of varying cultures. It's not like solo development isn't stressful or immune to crunch either, even if you choose your own hours. Solo development calls for highly varying skills - it's one of those things you underestimate until you've actually tried it.

>If I can't build and release the game myself, then it simply isn't good enough to release. I cannot trust collaborators to not take control of my projects, nor would I entrust creative ideas to a for-profit entity without my cut.

Nothing good in this world gets built in a vacuum. A hyperbole, potentially (e.g. Stardew Valley, Rainworld), but game development really is a road best driven with a team - people to help out in different disciplines, lighten the load on others. Finding a good team is hard, but once you do, it's hard to want to forgo them. I don't think I can convince you on this front, but the vast majority of solo developers who don't release a game should be proof enough.

No hard feelings from me - I just wanted to clarify what the game industry is actually like today. The Kotaku articles can be frightening, but talking to people in the industry today and getting thoughts from different roles (e.g. producers, designers, engineers, QA, artists, etc.) and different industries within game dev (indie, AA, AAA studios,etc.) would help form a more informed opinion.

> Even if on some platform it's not done for some reason, that can be replaced with your own implementation.

Isn't this exactly what is done in the submitted post?

> But one doesn't need to assume the above to be true. Simply measure and check for yourself. If your findings don't match your understandings, there are alternate explanations.

The problem with this is that this costs extra work to assert, and to assert that it stays true over time.

I know it's the right thing to integrate tightly within a platform, especially when the application has to coexist with others (like in Desktop apps, unlike in Games). But when one doesn't exactly know the platform that the code is going to be running on, or when it needs to run on a multitude of platforms, this integration can be painful.

That's why I often prefer interfaces that give me a lot of control over what happens, or that specify exactly what the implementation does, including the performance characteristics.
hahaha sorry the urge of putting on a nice looking logo overtook me
I read this and my first thought is that when it comes to network security we're doing it all wrong.

Every one of the mitigations relies on failable-by-design human beings to do a perfect job at closing every potential security hole. Often using obscure wizard level knowledge about the system they're working with.

Does anybody trust that ACLs will always be perfectly maintained? That credentials will always be kept up to date? that patch management will always be timely and comperhensive? You can try as hard as you want - or how much of a budget you have - but in real life you'll never patch all the potential holes. At any given time we - the royal organizational we - don't even know all the potential holes.

I think we need to treat network security like nuclear weapons. Networks need to be fail-safe. The reason nuclear weapons have many fail-safe features are because their history is rife with failures tracable to human error.

What does fail-safe even mean in network security? I have no idea but I think the question is worth asking. How do we remove humans out of the security loop? How do we make networks smarter and self securing and fail-safe?

In my (slightly dystopian) imagination the network needs to be some AI overlord model which controls it all and asks users in plain language what they want to do and decides what to allow based on the user's moral character. Then it uses its omniscient eye to surveil everything and shut down any transgressive actions.

Because clearly human beings are not up to this task.

But seriously is there any research on autonomous and self securing networks out there?
> revenue; $68 billion. Net income; $925 million

sounds like profit margin is very small and they can go underwater any moment.
It will mean nothing. Cities/states that have $15+ non tipped minimum wage are also ones that have the highest expectation for tips.
Couldn't agree more! It's particularly disappointing when you need to work on an older java codebase after finishing a Kotlin project. You'll constantly miss features
ceasar chavez would like a word with you...
I think the problem with making hard things easy is that we're conflating tools and problems.

Are these hard problems? Maybe. Some HTTP problems are hard, and some are not. Some SQL problems are hard, and some are not.

Are tools intrinsically difficult? That's an even more complicated question because it is completely context dependent. A better question might be, does this particular tool make it harder to solve this particular problem than it otherwise might be?

And that's where you run into trouble. These tools have been designed to do a LOT -- to solve many different problems, both easy and hard. If you just "show everything", you may make the easy problem much harder to solve.

At the end of the day, some tools make some things easy (or possible!) to do in a way that they otherwise wouldn't. And we should appreciate that. There will always be hard problems, and for the most common ones, there are probably some better tools waiting to be written.
My husband works at Kaiser. The " “across-the-board wage increases” ranging from roughly 10% to more than 14% over four years" might refer to the demand that the union had, which was across the board to renew the 4 years contract with 4%/4%/3%/3% which represents indeed 14.3% the 4th year.

There has been several versions 3/3/3/3, 4/4/4/4 over the past 4-5 days. Not sure what is the latest being negotiated today (I should find out later today).

Kaiser tried to break the strike the night before the strike started, by given more, but only to a subset of employees. Which the union rejected.
> "Legacy media", give me a fucking break.

Since there's no rebuttal in your reply, consider this a break :)

Analog radio, newspapers, and television were already in a managed decline before the 2016 election. The events that unfolded forestalled the inevitable a bit longer, but the music is about to end for these propagandists masquerading as reporters. Trust in legacy media is at a record low.

That’s a sobering number even if not surprising given how ludicrously expensive new cars are, with every single item in them milked for price discrimination, floor mats, cargo covers, hooks, elbow rests, driving safety systems, all overpriced, and now subscription schemes as if you were driving an app rather than a real physical object.
This is already the law in many places, including the entirety of California, and it has neither resulted in the end of tipping nor in restaurants confiscating tips.
Owner is definitely not innocent either. Nothing to be praised in this story for anyone.

But he's not in control of the company. Banks are.

Without them agreeing to a restructure of the debt or committing to ongoing bridge loans X will be bankrupt. The banks have already tried to sell off the debt to reduce their risk but declined as they were only getting offers valuing the company at < $8b.

We are reaching the cross-roads where big decisions will be made. And one is whether Musk leaves with some dignity e.g. he hands over day-day work to someone else or is simply forced out.
I was able to use ROCm recently with Pytorch and after pulling some hair it worked quite well. The Radeon GPU I had on hand was a bit old and underpowered (RDNA2) and it only supported matmul on fp64, but for the job I needed done I saw a 200x increase in it/s over CPU despite the need to cast everywhere, and that made me super happy.

Best of all is that I simply set the device to `torch.device('cuda')` rather than openCL, which does wonders for compatibility and to keep code simple.

Protip: Use the official ROCM Pytorch base docker image [0]. The AMD setup is so finicky and dependent on specific versions of sdk/drivers/libraries and it will be much harder to make work if you try to install them separately.

Yes, the toughest "hidden things" problems are pulling together data that is related, but not part of the same system. In this case, Wireshark can only show you what the OS gives to it.

In the article, it was pointed out that DNS caches can be hidden. They're especially hidden when they're upstream and in another computer!
Wasn't considered a "privilege" when I served coffee and pizza from behind a counter at 3am to drunks for no tips except the occasional loose change, that was shared among workers.
> Also, I-35 S traffic is backed up as far as the eye can see and I-35 N is inching along like lukewarm molasses.

sounds about right. at least you can get drunk on dirty 6th with the rest of the uni folks
> which the worker can share to demonstrate it wasn't because they did a bad job

Friends in hospitality. Unfortunately, there is a contingent of assholes who do this in lieu of tipping at all. This doubly fucks the server in a place with pooled tips; their colleagues now question whether they stole the tip.
Again...

> Because everyone has at least tried to lie - not necessarily for malicious reasons, e.g. white lies - a few times in their lives and know it’s not easy coming up with plausible sounding lies.

How do you know that?
It is included, by the fact you legally do not have to tip.
How's the Kotlin language server performance for you? When I last tried it was using up so much resources for the simplest Kotlin file. I gave up and moved to intelliJ (which incidentally offers plenty of refactoring features you don't get in vscode)
Being fat has numerous social penalties. I think they originate from instinctive reactions embedded deep in peoples’ brains, and those reactions are flat-out not going to go away from anything we can do today.
The math of health providers is always super sketchy, because they 'donate' their emergency service to the indigent at a non-discounted rate and deduct that from their profits.

Aside from the fact that those non-discounted rates are astronomically high in the USA, they also don't have to worry about anyone analyzing the list of services provided, so the medical billing errors in the provider's favor don't have a chance of being questioned.

Large medical provider accounting is right next to Hollywood accounting in the staggering games played with profit, expense, and loss.
>Crypto is the only real way to move large sums of illicit money across the world.

This is not even remotely true. Crypto is definitely the best licit way to move value around the world, so sure, it also is the best way to move illicit value around the world. But look at any Illicit Financial Flows report [1] and you will see that crypto is still marginal.

I think there could be a couple reasons for this.

1. Like the article mentioned, bad media coverage. Trust that these systems will be truly self driving at some point seems to be dwindling. Enhancements may come, but I think people doubt that they'll be able to take a nap in their car anytime soon.

2. Sentiment for cars seems to be decreasing. A lot of people are realizing that cars are dangerous and advocating for more public transit, walking, and biking as safer and more affordable alternatives.

I used to think that self driving cars would solve safety, traffic, and give us more time back in our lives. Now I tend to think they add minor convenience for a good amount of risk for a high cost.
Sure, maybe. Colds, too.

It’s only a privilege in the same way that any other commercial transaction is. You’re already paying them for a service. Do you care whether the guys operating your local power plant know that you appreciate your electricity?
the mac client probably wont, as they were already bought by rapidapi.com and made web-based client that looks like PAW but has the same issues as other web-based solution
> Include service on the receipt for a start

This is smart. When I see an included gratuity, I usually don't tip. (Even if I usually would have tipped more.)
I think typically a company having shareholders all over the world does not make people think that it is stateless. However, ownership transfer does make a difference, especially when considering how much the new parent company alters the original company's image/culture. For example, I think that Segway has pretty much lost its US company image after being purchased by Ninebot, with Ninebot products being prominently displayed on the Segway website.
I came in here to say this, the title on the article itself is clickbait.

Meh. Users not used to tracking allocations keep to the same regime (lots of allocations), but because the platform allocators are utterly terrible the allocation overhead is orders of magnitude higher than in even a relatively basic runtime, thus the program is dog slow.

This is not inevitable, platforms could provide allocators which are less awful. Obviously they can’t be as fast as specialised runtime facilities but when you see the gains many applications get by just swapping in jemalloc or some such…
Childcare is a market, the same way bread is. Like bread, family might provide it out of their own time and money, but otherwise, you have to pay someone.

Doing what is best for the children and parents is a market intervention, and ignoring how markets work when coming up with market interventions has a pretty bad track record.

Markets don't exist in a vacuum, they can involve the public sector: primary education is mainly provided through public funds and institutions, but it remains a market nonetheless. Throwing out what we know about market dynamics isn't a good way to do what's best for children and parents.
"More than 80% of Americans have an individual income such that if they were the sole earner in their household AND chose to purchase the median cost new car, they would be spending more than a threshold chosen fairly arbitrarily by Market Watch" is the more accurate headline.
Why not? Problem is we’re incredibly wasteful, inefficient and the benefits are unequally distributed. There’s nothing physically limiting us from doing so with better tech and much better policies and governance.
Not very surprised, Postman has continued to get more bloated and pushy with accounts, I ended up just moving to Insomnia after using Postman for many many years.

Regardless, someone has to buy the brand new car first before you can buy it used.

Imagine that people were more responsible in their spending habits. The demand for new cars would drop like a rock, and we would have to transform the way urban planning and transportation is done in this country.
Looks great. Maybe a switch component?

My wife could use a new car and we can afford one but we're having a tough time justifying the price. The covid era inflation of vehicle prices hasn't really come back to reality and it feels like dealerships are playing some sort of false inventory scarcity game still.

No that’s perfectly normal reasonable.

What’s weird is that for some reason there happens to be just enough people in the US that believe and demand that I have the responsibility as a customer to take care of an employee’s wage negotiation, payroll and in some cases “productivity metrics”. Thus we end up with this stupid “debate”.
