> how else will you convince people to part with their property!

This is a great question, and a common misunderstanding! First, in case there's some confusion by other readers, I'm against private property controlling and directing labor, but not personal property -- that is to say that no one is going to take your xbox or Ford truck away from you. Those things are personal property, they are yours and should stay yours.

I do think, however, that private property -- the money used to exert control over others ("I'm the chief investor in X, so you must do what I say") -- should be replaced with cooperative ownership. Either through labor ownership, labor-customer ownership, or the state, as appropriate.

But, how do we achieve that? Yes, you could seize all the assets via force. But that's bad. Instead, you structure your incentives so it happens over time. Decrease the costs of running a co-op, reducing taxes or fees for businesses that are collectively owned. Increase taxes and fees proportional to the differences between the compensation of the highest paid individual and the lowest. Increase estate taxes, so no one immediately loses their money, but less capital passes down (obviously with gradients so as not to hurt most people). Expand property taxes to include other property at some nominal rate.

The other thing you could do is make it as easy to do the co-operative thing as it is to do the solo thing. Finding a lender to talk about cohousing is MUCH more difficult than finding one to talk about a mortgage. Finding a lawyer who can incorporate a co-op is much harder than finding out how to start an LLC. We would move significantly towards my ideals over time if the education and resources allocated were even close to parity.

It doesn't have to be a revolution and it doesn't have to be without the rule of law or anti-democratic.
If the median wage you can pay is capped at maybe $70k-ish, it's delusional to call someone a "greedy maniac".
Faith is the (a) recognition that we're limited beings whose perception and thinking are ultimately inadequate to understand objective reality and (b) a set of beliefs you take on for dealing with that unknowable space.

(a) is obviously true even if you're a complete atheist. EG, there's no reason to assume that evolution endowed us with ability to understand the objective reality anymore than it has endowed some deaf and blind deepwater creature that ability.

Since we all engage in life despite the limitations of (a), we are all making assumptions about the nature of reality whether we call it faith or not. EG, in the absence of us being able to know for certain why/how/by whom the universe was created, religious people make one assumption (purposeful creation and the meaning of life that it implies) while atheists make another one (random accident and the meaninglessness it implies.) You can't "see" that accident anymore than you can "see" G-d, so the amount of faith required to believe one or the other (or any other variation) is the same.

So yes, there's room for faith and we all operate on it. Back to the topic at hand, prayer is in the domain of religious faith, so it's meaningless for a non-religious person to test it out.
Quarterly earnings.
Yes. Assuming you accept individualism. Further, quotas mean you are basically guaranteed a spot in a job where you are vastly outnumbered by group (i.e. gender).

However, a lot of folks let group mentality ruin otherwise great opportunities.

A takeaway I have from this paper is that the "one shot" paradigm where you just ask ChatGPT to do something works well enough to impress people who are working with it interactively but when you collect enough data to really evaluate it you find it doesn't do that well compared to what you can do if you get a reasonably sized (1000s of examples) training set and do fine tuning. I think this paper is good for putting the hype in context.
I read the article, and at this point, it's really just a bunch of politicians back-slapping each other and giving sound-bites about how they're taking a "stand for accountability". So when the oil companies report the most carbon emissions in the state, then what? If they do collect billions more in corporate taxes, will the accountability continue regarding the tax money? Sorry, I'm a jaded SOB.

So? There's more skill in that than in what, say, System76 does. Just installing Linux on a rebranded Clevo laptop and giving it a cringey name.

Tanzania has to start somewhere if they want to grow their industrial base.
Hi apologies for any confusion. What i meant to say is that OpenWrt can be run on the Raspberry Pi. I did this because I had a Raspberry Pi laying around and did not want to invest in additional hardware just for experimenting with OpenWrt within my internal network. You can also run OpenWrt in a virtual environment like QEMU -- this is useful if you're aiming to connect multiple VMs to OpenWrt, effectively setting up a virtual network with OpenWrt at its core. Please see links below for more info:

My first chromebook 10+ years ago used a Samsung Exynos (ARM Crotex-A15 IIRC).

> I think it is naive to assume that Bandcamp was wise to be employing all these people

It probably was stupid, but stupid isn’t illegal, and companies will hide behind that fact to issue mass layoffs (which can be even stupider when they result in an inoperative team).

The financial argument behind a layoff is today made more irrelevant when the employees are smart and creative enough to be the key to company success. Good employees won’t take stupid, no matter how legal stupid is.

> sometimes it's entirely motivated by putting lipstick on a pig in order to look like a runaway growth success thing

The same can be said for the CEO and Board who created the mess. Except they get a big payoff no matter what, and have much larger leverage over the lives of the employees.
The problem with Socialism is the requirement for others to forcibly partake in it, otherwise it doesn't work. It's not just about forcing everyone to pay higher taxes, at its core it's about rewarding everyone equally, despite the fact some people choose to work more. The only way to stop this is to force everyone to work the same amount, which cannot be done in a humane way. This means inevitably, some people will always work harder than others, and if they're not rewarded by the market, they'll be rewarded by circumventing the state and being corrupt. This is what happens every single time it is tried. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This is great, but as always, doesn't address the land supply issue.

Reducing the cost of construction is pointless when you can't build in SF/NYC/LA. This just makes the margins on the construction that does happen high, which is good I guess?

Yeah but the dialog sure is a bit bookish and dry, talking a lot about weird theory.
Worth noting, among the “number indistinguishable from zero” are contemporary classics such as: Schindler’s List, Dead Man, Good Night & Good Luck, Ed Wood, Clerks, Raging Bull, Nebraska, et al…

Anyone who studied Media Theory will be well aware of the ubiquitous Marshall McLuhan quote, “The medium is the message,” and understands that the means with which a piece of media is produced and distributed tells a story in and of itself. Sometimes that’s in service to the broader narrative, and sometimes it’s simply a product of circumstance, but either way it carries its own value for the audience, and I would argue that it would be arrogant for one to unilaterally decide whether such things are important or not to preserve.

“Her groundbreaking conclusion was initially rejected because it contradicted the scientific wisdom of the time, which held that there were no significant elemental differences between the Sun and Earth.”

I don't believe this was in the original edition, but someone can correct me if I am wrong: he proposed the concept of "signifiers" to fill the definition that people were increasingly giving to "affordances".

A signifier helps to indicate the presence of an affordance that might not be immediately apparent.

why was this? what authoritative power over verifiable notability did Twitter once have, such that this could possibly be the case for anyone who thinks about it for longer than two seconds, or encounters their first instance of, "ok but why was this person verified while this other person isn't?"

Malik Obama was verified on Twitter long, long before Musk took it over, and he regularly made (and still makes) all sorts of outlandish claims about his half-brother—are these all to be considered implicitly true, on account of his profile having been Pre-Musk Verified?

In principle, I like for example the four-finger sliding gesture to switch apps on the iPad, but it’s implemented in a way that makes it very easy to accidentally swipe to the second-next app instead of to the next app. Similarly, there’s a gesture for Speak Screen where you swipe down from the top with two fingers, but it regularly takes me more than three attempts before it doesn’t instead swipe down the lock screen or the control center. I honestly don’t understand how they think this is fine.

I think x86 has a future in consumer hardware, but it's not going to be in endlessly chasing maximum theoretical performance by making CPUs ever more power hungry. Performance per watt is now the key figure for anything aside from high end enthusiast PCs (and even then, many enthusiasts can't actually make good use of more raw power than is currently on the table).

With that in mind, my thought is that it'd make sense to split off gigahertz-chasing enthusiast CPUs into a dedicated product line and brand while mainstream CPUs focus squarely on excellent zero-tweaking perf per watt.
Up until the 787, Boeing was an engineering company who did the lion's share of it's own R&D and fabrication. For all intents and purposes they were effectively the airline manufacturing industry to a lot of people.

The 787 changed all that, Boeing moved their longtime headquarters to Chicago, outsourced all their manufacturing, to follow just in time manufacturing and offload risk to contractors. In more recent years Boeing has started to bring a lot of their manufacturing back in house.

They're not totally vertically integrated like Tesla is attempting to do right now (they just opened a lithium ore processing plant) but they used to build most of their own sub assemblies.
Musk spoke at the Wall Street Journal's CEO Summit Monday and suggested scrapping the Biden infrastructure package. Musk said that Tesla didn't need the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles, which provides a tax credit of up to that amount to individuals purchasing plug-in electric vehicles, to drive demand for its vehicles. He also called federal support for charging infrastructure unnecessary.

"Do we need support for gas stations? We don't," Musk said. "There's no need for support for a charging network. I would delete it. Delete."
Unions are the only path to success when Congress is operating in a degraded governance state. Do you know how many worker hours will be exhausted in suboptimal labor conditions waiting for Congress to pass human labor protections? Strong legislative labor protections would be wonderful, but they are not on offer in the present day United States.

Congress won't function until the cohorts who vote for representatives unwilling to champion broadly popular policy or labor protections dies out. That's going to take a hot minute, even assuming a death rate of 1.8M voters over the age of 55/year.

Turns out that democratizing blue checkmarks solved one problem, but created another, in that it became much harder to vet reliable information on twitter, and intentionally misleading tweets would be boosted above those from professional journalists. The gaza war has been a flood of misinformation and spam. Community notes seems to be mostly good, but is utterly incapable of keeping up with the flood of misinformation.

And so, overall, taking away blue checkmarks from professionals and giving them to spammers has been a net loss for Twitter, at least for those of us who appreciate good information.
You are forgetting the root cause of why all the tech layoffs happened.

Between mid 2020 and early 2022, tech was the place investors were willing to pay any money even at a ridiculous P/E. It wasn’t because the value proposition suddenly shifted to tech but money was plentiful and looking for places to go and tech was the place that could give you high return.

Fast forward, US Fed has decided there is too much inflation and consumers need to slow down so they are shrinking their balance sheet. Investors suddenly are getting 8% return basically without any risk. Why would you invest in tech and all the volatility when you can get that return. Suddenly companies that could raise money and rollover their debt in peanut interest expenses are seeing money has dried up.

There is one and only one responsible for this mess. Central Bankers. They had absolutely no idea what they were and are talking about including very basic things such as where would inflation and interest rate go in short term. In 8 months, they went from “we need deflation and we foresee low interest till 2024” to largest inflationary environment since 1980s and highest interest rates. And of course they face no consequences. #EndTheFed

> Should take a person less than a minute to grasp this

Well, we need to calibrate a baseline otherwise its just a waste of my precious minute. Digital tech as such, especially the hardware side is not a fluke. It evolves inexorably in capability, follows physical laws (e.g. the endless shrinking of transistor sizes has stopped) and is the tooling supporting a range of potentially long-term sustainable economic activities.

This reality does not exactly fix the relative size of the tech economy to the rest of the economy, much less so in terms of market valuation (which is the driver for most the actors involved).

There are various important factors that people simply assume are "normal" in the tech landscape but they are not. They are the result of arbitrary political decisions. 1) The degree of allowed concentration (monopolization) that essentially guarantees rent extraction and prohibits commoditization. 2) Lax attitudes towards data privacy that effectively simply siphon wealth from others. These two regulatory malfuctions could be reversed without much impact on the actual tech but a major impact on valuations.

In fact the engineered hypes serve as much the need to keep inquiring minds at bay (by arguing now is not the time to stifle the exponential innovation) as they do to inflate stock options.

Finally you have the fact that a certain fraction of "tech" is essentially disemboweling and substituting (rather than growing) other industries. For each triumphant Amazon type entity (that you seem to celebrate so much), you have the millions of boarded-up city bookstores and shops. This is a more complicated economic calculus. You could argue that all those vendors, publishers, taxi drivers, hoteliers etc should have been more proactive in adopting technology rather than have their lunch eaten.

I would like to reverse the compliment and argue that it should take a person of any awareness less than a minute to grasp the rotten foundations on which quite a bit of the "tech economy" has built its edifice.

I am curious how are you planning to cope with aeroelasticity issues in near-earth turbulence. Given low air speed, low wing loading, and huge aspect ratio this is going to be an issue. I suspect that most of the previous projects failed because of these issues combined with tight requirements on very light-weight structures.
Microsoft (who owns LinkedIn) reports quarterly earnings in ~1 week. For public companies, timing it around an earnings call can help control the narrative since the company will have a chance to explain to investors why the action wwill increase shareholder value.
As long as Apple's processors are tied to Apple's ecosystem, their success doesn't say much about the future of x86. Apple isn't going to win all the desktop and laptop business. I don't think they're interested in supplying processors and whatnots to the rest of the computer builders. They don't have a platform appropriate for servers. For those swayed by clock speed, Apple doesn't compete at all; sometimes you do need that small % throughput increase at large % power increase.

The argument you make is that @SeymourHersh is no more authoritative a source of news and information than @FreedomLover837474, so why can't they both have blue checks. While true in theory, in practice, it turns out professional journalists are more reliable, which has led to people going elsewhere.

Even if Twitter got it wrong with blue checks sometimes, by and large, the old approach led to a platform that was a vastly more reliable source of information than the cesspool we have today.
Bandcamp always struck me as a place for producers to sell to DJ’s since you can get high bitrate MP3’s and lossless files.

A pattern I’ve seen is that artists will put a new release on Bandcamp a week before it’s available on streaming services. This lets them pull in more revenue by selling the album for $10 to enthusiasts before it’s released to the masses.
It's a programmer's error, so it should lead to a panic. There is simply no reason to ever handle this at runtime (as opposed to network errors or other things that can go wrong during normal operation and should be handled at runtime).
