Nope. There are cameras, but that's presumably for license plate tracking. It's been nearly a month, so I can comfortably say it's not a red light camera.
Wait wait wait... Don't go into fancy words and some details yet please.

Just explain to me — how is it moral for someone who does the work to give away part of their produced value to free loaders in exchange... for nothing?

I don't mean supporting people who are unable to work permanently or temporarily (like kids) and all the obvious people who has little choice over their abilities.

I emphasize people who can, but don't want to work and to produce any value, not even fart a melody (artists are not free loaders).

How is it moral to give them value that you was working for?
I had the same experience you describe with Pandora for years, has it improved recently?

Disney/Comcast/Paramount represent the consolidation of an industry that used to be hundreds of independent newsrooms into a dozen or so corporations. The murdoch family's New Corp is regularly analyzed as a political force on par with individual elected leaders, if not more so.

Entertainment: Apple/Amazon/Comcast/Disney/Sony/WarnerBrosDiscovery/Paramount

The problem is that the industry has consolidated into a number of players you can count on one hand.
By "grow up" do you mean "coalesce"? If so, that's exactly what I'm saying.

> it makes not difference whether he bumps into a tree because you decided

Exactly. It makes no difference for him that you want to see a proof of individual trees' objective existence - because he already knows this for a fact! That's what that pesky objective reality does, sometimes forcing knowledge about itself upon us, whether we like it or not, or whether we would prefer some other "proof." The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

> Mathematics is not that.

Sure it is. One who knows about numbers knows more about the objective reality than those who don't. One who knows about Lie groups knows even more.

> you gain knowledge about the name of my dog. No discovery involved

That's not quite true: I discover that you have a dog (as long as you did not "invent" it).

> Nothing about them on their own is related to three.

It does, if you look at it from the right angle. There's a different thing at play here. While the number of legs could be easily matched with the corresponding number of apples, by itself this correspondence does not necessarily make any particular number stand out (although in some cases, like, say, in the case of a non-wobbly stool, a triangle, or the number of eyes and hands, it would - simply because there are many pairs of eyes, etc.); what's also at play here is different ways to look at numbers, which includes seeing them not only as "cardinals" (which is what you are still limiting yourself to) but also as "ordinals": the number 1 "stands out" as the smallest ordinal (greater than "nothing"), the number 2 is what follows it, etc. It is all these aspects combined that form the true content of the notion of the number.
Companies don't remove usability just to chase fads. They do it to exploit users.

The lack of manual tracking on YouTube shorts, or (much earlier) Instagram reels? That's not a fad, that's a "feature" - it's meant to change the way you interact with and experience the content, forcing you into a paradigm that's optimal for the vendor.

Same with other usability and accessibility features of yore - the ones that disappear first are the ones giving users flexibility and control, because the point is to funnel users into specific, optimized workflows that are most profitable for the vendor.

C's memory management is its own abstraction. malloc and free are library functions. They're an abstraction not just over hardware (that doesn't have anything bytewise allocated like that), they even abstract away the way operating systems allocate memory.

You don't get direct access to the stack in C either. Stack frames are abstracted away, and you only get longjmp.

If you pay attention to Undefined Behavior and strict aliasing, you don't even get that much access to poking around memory.
Germany was no longer a democracy when those crimes were committed. Had it been one - hard to imagine but still - it would have been possible to vote out the perpetrators and put them to trial. This is a nice theory but in practice democracies which turn to evil also tend to turn autocratic/authoritarian and with that no longer fit the definition of democracy. The current Turkish president (Erdogan) said Democracy is like a tram. You ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off while serving as mayor of Istanbul in the 1990's which describes the devolution from democracy to autocracy quite well.

> Humans very obviously have instincts, not least because it's humans who invented the concept.

Humans invented the concept of exoskeletons, too; inventing a concept does not imply having the concrete feature referred to by the concept.

Yes, humans have instincts, but inventing the concept of “instinct” is unrelated to that.

I hear you, and I am trying to grapple with this myself.

So the cost of bricks went up by X, and maybe the cost of electricity also went up by Y, and the labor costs are also higher by Z, but adding them all up, my costs are not up by X + Y + Z, but something less than that. Should that be part of CPI? Is that part of CPI? Is that part of something else? Very interesting in knowing an official economist take on this.
I think the comment you responded to was saying at 20km ("up at 20km") it is calm, but below this it is not calm.
Author of Material for MkDocs here. We're currently working on re-architecting the entire search engine and rewriting it from scratch. We're currently based on lunr.js, which is unmaintained as of 2020 and has more or less run its course. We've learned a lot what matters in respect to efficient and user friendly documentation search, and can't wait to give the first version into the hands of our users. I'm convinced that the next iteration of search we'll be releasing will solve many of the shortcomings that our current implementation has. Of course, it will work on the client side as it does now, no server needed, but there will be other options as well, e.g. for when your search index is in the megabytes and too big to ship to clients.

That's a difference between 4x and 6.5x

I think that your 3x difference is definitely a lower bound, and it'll be closer to 6.5x than to 3x or 4x most of the time (though I don't see aggregated data per-company, per-region in levels.fyi (but I didn't bother logging in)
Vanishing gradient was an issue for non-residual deep networks and vanilla RNNs. While the long context memory issues are along sequence dimension, not network depth.

The problem could be some kind of instability of attention as it scales above 10k tokens. A recent paper suggests attention mechanism needs a default value (a "sink"), and its absence produces instability.

I don't see how this is any different from how Java has to deal with what is considered "derivative work" under the GPL for code that uses the JRE. Similarly, I see no reason the solution employed by Java wouldn't work for your example AGPL db.

I'm talking, of course, about the Class path exceptions.
It seems to me that "we overhired and need to fix that" is a message that would make things easier for those laid off. It's saying that the people are being laid off because of a business misjudgement by the company, not because those employees performed poorly.
> I doubt the mercenary motivation is as common as you suggest

I did not mean to imply that most founders start companies to scam the investor base (who turns out to be sophisticated enough to deserve it even if so). It is just how the incentives in Silicon Valley lead you to operate. Basically SV model bribes you such that the #1 outcome would not even be rational, by design; i.e. you build a cash flow business, someone basically tells you that they are willing to give you best-case scenario upfront and ask you to come work for them and potentially make billions for them, so it is bascially a win-win for pretty much everyone except sometimes perhaps employees and customers.
The natural outcome of the model means there will be a bunch of businesses with low probability of achieving their goal sustainably, by design.

This does not require the founder to be/act evil. Nor do I think the existence of such model in the world is a bad thing overall, even if it leads to some scams/useless companies. It is very good net net, as the vast majority of the world is overly conservative in capital allocation (a la Warren Buffet) to balance it out.
yes! However youtube got stuck with a lot great videos. Unless someone form IPFS or torrent community are already secretively archiving youtube videos. Then youtube video random view key will just serve as an index for videos for a globally archived videos (the video can also sit on owner's hard drive) (kinda like what archive.org is doing for web page). Then someone can write a plugin to republish the video to peertube, web torrent, odyssey all the other alternative video sharing sites. This shall at least to start take people's dependancy off of youtube/alphabet/google platform/infrastructure.
A lot of people forget that the word "press" in the phrase "freedom of the press" refers to an actual printing press, not the modern term that people confuse for corporate journalism. The 3D printing presses should remain equally free. If and when someone commits a crime with a piece of technology, that is when to charge them. We should not normalize the presumption of criminal intent, nor restrict even those that have been convicted in the past from utilizing technology just because it could be used for evil.
In context of parent post, I wonder if people realize github is not where git things come from...

"if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine"

I'm not aware that "running a machine" has a legal definition. I think it's fine, if you have a corporate account and a private email you are probably fine. I think they mainly have that as some sort of rate limiting legalese, to prevent abuse from "account hopping" i.e. abusing the github api or spamming, etc..

If your work account is a "legal entity", i.e. it is a person under corporate personhood laws, this definition also doesn't really hold water (both you and the corporation account count as legal persons, so this doesn't do much, other than the cost of an incorporation being non-zero). Just don't do weird things with your separate accounts, and actually keep them separate, and you're probably fine.

"A tool is only useful if I can use it in every situation".

LLM's don't need to find every bug in your code - even if they found an additional 10% of genuine bugs compared to existing tools, it's still a pretty big improvement to code analysis.

In reality, I suspect the scope is much higher than 10%.

"chronic stress aside, that decline in BMR mirrors almost perfectly the curves of PUFA consumption rates in the general population. Namely, as the BMR curve has steadily declined over the last 100 years the PUFA consumption rate curve has steadily moved upwards over time. Unless this trend of ever-increasing PUFA consumption is interrupted, I don’t see the decline of BMR flattening (let alone reversing) any time soon." eating massive quantities of highly processed seed oils that are ubiquitous in our food supply because they are much cheaper than "real" food is surely a contributor.

Is authenticity externally determined, or internally determined? Is there an external objective or universal standard of authenticity, or is it more of an internal integrity or trueness to one's self-determined values? Or a blend of both?
The multi-year project that never sees usage is... almost a bit of a badge of honor. I feel and know the deep pain. It's definitely not a WISE badge of honor, but I feel it's an almost much-needed lesson for the type of developer, like myself, who just becomes hyper focused and consumed... in a good way.

When I speak about some of my past experiences, and the pain they bring, I feel like people's eyes glaze over.

I dont think until you've spent upwards of a year on something at 10+ hours a day.... you could ever really relate.... thousands of hours, almost HALF the time they say it takes to master something, and then nothing comes of it...

I can just say I look back on those times of my life with appreciation but also, damn does it hurt. The pain never really fades too much either. Despite all my successful projects, all my fingers in many pies, all my current success... I can't get back those multi-year projects. They were certainly required for learning, but I just feel sad and melancholy when I think back.
Yes, but I also find it's one of the best remaining social media platforms for talking about craft. Unfortunately, it tends to suffer from toxic positivity that's almost the inverse of Twitter's ability to incite fights. There's almost an implicit "let's make each other look good" dynamic. Although, you do occasionally see controversial engagement bait too.

Off topic: I noticed that the points count got reset with the URL was changed to businessinsider. Is this normally what happens?
He’s said a couple of times that it’s used for (amongst other things) connecting with and cultivating sources. That’s definitely not talking to each other.

Also, in the context of the GP “talking to each other” was clearly intended to mean that journalists using Twitter had no point. He’s explained why that isn’t the case.
I’d be more inclined to suggest that Facebook has that role.

I haven't talked about Covid here for a long, long time.

I'm sure you can find something wrong with all those links, if you try real hard - but if you put as much effort into verifying them I bet you'll learn a lot more.

The problem is on most projects, the managers end up calling the shots on what's good design and the vast majority of them don't know what they are talking about and are just looking for whatever looks like Apple.

I used to think it was the designer-as-dictator that was the problem but now I believe it's the self-anointing-expert manager who believes design is merely intuition and not a rigorous field of engineering.

Overall, since the 1990s total global inequality (inequality across all individuals in the world) declined ...

In 1990, 36% of the world's population lived in extreme poverty. By 2019, this number had fallen to 9.2%.

It's not a fallacy ... it's reality
You're doubly wrong:

1- the laws dictate minimum terms for the agreements, they don't put ceilings on the maximums

2- the regions in which employees got shafted in that way aren't the regions in which employment laws are stricter
They have a reputation of being real; that is the problem.
> You've sold me. I'm a customer, I'm using your thing. Why do you want to make it difficult for me to memorize my use of your thing?

Typical company these days: you're who? Ah yes, you're an existing customer. You're already paying us, sunk time into learning our product, and rearranged your work or life to be at least minimally dependent on us. We can safely ignore you - it's unlikely you'll leave near-term, so our focus is much better spent on acquiring new customers.

To be clear: I hate it, but this seems to be how most software products are being developed these days - all focus is on making them dumb and pretty enough to sell to first-time users, at the expense of already onboarded users.
I wonder if you only need to be able to verify a small portion. The stuff that deals with passwords and encryption and transferring money between bank accounts and sending and editing secure messages.

No, we shouldn't be removing datapoints. If the law says that you can be in-compliance but remove "force majeure" type events, then so be it.

But the EPA should be tracking and controlling ALL sources of pollution. This is like politicians deciding PI should be 3. EPA numbers are now meaningless, which is probably the point.

> the driving force behind technology for the first ten thousand or so years has been the improvement of the human race and to win in the struggle to survive

This seems naive to me (setting aside the issue of even defining or identifying "the driving force behind technology"). The Romans were famously engineering-minded and they certainly weren't doing it just for the improvement of the human condition; it had material and political consequences which they wanted to see realized. From my understanding of history this is true in pretty much any era and any location throughout history. Certainly there have always been people inventing new tools for the fun of it, or to improve their and others' lives, but it's not at all clear to me how you could show that the balance between these motivations has shifted so dramatically only in the last ~200 years. It seems far more plausible (to me) that technological development has always been a fulcrum for accumulation of wealth and power, and that our current moment is better explained as a shift in whose wealth and power is benefited (kings and emperors replaced by multinational corps and capital owners), rather than a complete reorientation of the nature of technology itself.
An investor is offering to fund severance for three of my employees
Got an interesting proposition from an investor: they're offering to fund severance for a few of my employees.

Basically, if we run out of runway in 2-3 years and my employees have stuck around, they get guaranteed 3-month severance pay. If my employees leave sometime in the next 2 years, this money comes directly to the company instead.

Employees to exchange 3 months' worth of their stock options to the investor. They seem on board, they get a bit of downside protection and they've got most of their stock options still tied to the company.

Anything I'm missing? Would you do this deal?
Skimming the article I think he got caught by one of the killer issues that is worth discovering early: "Are you relying on other people's data, and can you continue to rely on it".

Scraping based ideas hit this issue. Ideas that attach to a single platform API too: X (formerly Twitter) killed many startups who relied on it's API.

This probably generalizes to "What are your dependencies, how risky are they?"

Which then covers people who rely on SEO rankings, or a single Instagram account for their entire business.
