You sound like you have difficulties with harboring resentment, and projecting your experiences onto strangers. The tone in all of your comments is hostile, lacking benefit of the doubt, generalizing and presumptive.

Quite frankly, if you typically act this way in person, I'd probably zone out when you spoke as well. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe there is a person in your life with listening problems, but a) OP is not "this exact person", that's projection, and b) you possibly have your own communication issues, based on this thread.

Regardless, you will have a much more pleasant time in life if you learn to be more accepting. I wear my airpods chronically, and no one has ever questioned if I was listening to them, because I have active listening skills. The thought of an internet stranger having a problem with this is amusing.
> There's a certain kind of psyche that finds it utterly impossible to extrapolate trends into the future.

It is refreshing to see somebody explicitly call out people that disagree with me about AI as having fundamentally inferior psyches. Their inability to picture the same exact future that terrifies me is indicative of a structural flaw.

One day society will suffer at the hands of people that have the hubris to consider reality as observed as a thing separate from what I see in my dreams and thought experiments. I know this is true because I’ve taken great pains to meticulously pre-imagine it happening ahead of time — something that lesser psyches simply cannot do.

I have no reason to think it wouldn't. There's probably some minor driver(??) issues and they chose to not officially support it.
These are good points! And looking at DPA’s history it seems most of its uses and especially its peacetime uses are more about granting money/loans rather than adding restrictions or requirements.
And I am here silently wondering whether I'm an introvert who occasionally really loves the right company, or whether I'm an extrovert who is constantly starved of the right kind of social interaction.
I also cannot relate to this whole socializing being exhausting business, but that is maybe because I never force myself in social situations where I am not enjoying myself.
That's entirely fair: Sun wasn't serious about most of the products they rolled out... and customers noticed.
>any form of accountability that takes the form of "the person hopefully acts better" is not scalable.

To be fair it does scale in other societies. I think the question we should be asking isn't "why does it work there" and instead "why DOESN'T it work in the US?".

Maybe it's just because the US economy has been strong for some 80 years and the individualistic culture used that position to invest in any and everything that could possibly be "the next big thing". Ideas (and clout) over anything else.
As an Oracle DBA, I just complain about Oracle wherever I can. Is it to subconsciously lead people away from the high paying DBA jobs and leave them for myself? The software is garbage for sure, but after a while everything is garbage and idk what to work with anymore. PeopleSoft can burn in hell for the rest of forever though. I would quit my job if they tried to move me to that.
As I have gotten older, only now do I realize that the most effective way in navigating a situation is by 'playing a role'.

I need to teach my children this skill as they can then focus on fitting the pattern rather than proposing a conjecture in order to initiate a philosophical conversation.

Is ChatGPT not already that?
Yup, the "because I said so" type really isn't worth respect in the first place.

Authority figures are fine when they act with reason and respect. When they don't, that's when we have a problem. I will never understand why neurotypicals tolerate inept and abusive authority figures. They don't even question it most of the time!

As I've gotten older, my level of tolerance for disrespectful people in general has dropped off dramatically. If you disrespect me while demanding I respect you, I'm just gonna ignore you entirely. You are literally not worth the brainpower it takes just to hear you.
How could it not be better? it's not working with the US Gov to censor free speech that's proven to be true after the fact.

One of the biggest scandals of our time is "disinformation" that the government doesn't approve of being silenced by Government working with Private Industry to get around bans on government censorship of speech. Used for dissent around COVID "misinformation" or "election integrity".

I didn't claim X is perfect but it's a lot better than twitter that banned, say, the post for putting up The Laptop Story - that's long since been proven 100% true and was suppressed by... drum roll! the FBI literally lying about "russia".

The only thing that's changed is there's a top place for information that isn't controlled by the government - right or wrong.

I understand that's scary but scary freedom is better than the safety of slavery.

Few years ago I was having a "let's get to know each other" lunch with an account executive . He was very successful in sales in the company we both worked at the time and quite clearly prior to it. So I asked him about his career history. [It is important for this story to note here that this guy is extremely handsome, and knows it] He describing starting as a shoe salesman in women's shoes in Bellevue Nordstrom, as he put it "flirting with all the mothers coming to buy shoes". Checks out. He progresses and a decade and a half later he's an Oracle rep. Eventually, he said, the money was good but he "got tired of being the most hated man in the room".
Get on it sooner rather than later. Many CRT's were thrown out when they were considered obsolete and the ones remaining are dying from age.
> its hard to argue with a doctor when they say "lets just try this for now".

Yeah, I've run into "god complex" with doctors. It's a problem.

When my wife was in medical school she started to get sick and wasn't getting better. She went to probably half a dozen doctors. The outcomes were of the kind you describe "let's try this for now". In the meantime, she was getting sicker and sicker. Ultimately, she did her own research and was able to identify a potential diagnosis. She booked a visit with a specialist. As soon as she entered his office he said: You have a pituitary gland tumor, we have to operate immediately. This affliction presents very specific physical changes. She was in the hospital within a week. Six months later she was back to normal. The doctor said she was pretty much on a path straight to death and, had it not been for her self-diagnosis, that might have been the outcome within a year.

There are many problems in healthcare, cost and insurance are just two of them.

> Also, Fwiw i didnt downvote you, im not sure why you were downvoted.

I appreciate that. Right or wrong, for some reason I have always had this image of a petulant immature child downvoting on HN rather than engaging in conversation. Also right or wrong, I also attribute some of this to the serious failure of our system of education to graduate people who can actually think. They have elevated ignoring reality to a virtue and seem really proud of it. I avoid hiring these kinds of people like the plague, they have shit for brains.
Side-note: for list-unsubscribe, do you determine the subscriber's identity that needs to be unsubscribed based on the sender or the receiver (like <guid>@unsubscribe.service.com)?

Reason I'm asking is Unsubscribe rarely works for me due to my catch-all not SENDING emails from the address it was received on. It sends it from my actual address. Very annoying.
Just for fun, I looked at how 20 different people pronounced MySQL. The results:

"My Sequel": 12
"My Ess Kyoo El": 8
"My Squirrel": 0

I thought "My Sequel" would have something closer to 2/3rds of results rather than 1/2
I was most surprised by Australia Post, after reporting a weird login issue during the start of Covid when everything was going to shit. It was took a couple of weeks before they got to it, but I received a couple of phone calls from the same person who genuinely wanted to help, who worked internally to identify and resolve with their tech teams.

Worst by far has been Nintendo Australia. Switch spontaneously stopped charging after being plugged in for a couple of hours. Retailer sent it to Nintendo who diagnosed internal damage to the usb port (caused by their official charger..), and they would only throw it in the bin for free or I had to pay to get the broken switch back or pay more for a refurbish. Then they lied about their complaints email and gave me their direct address. Then sent me a non functional switch back which I had the retailer replace on the spot with a brand new one (under Aus law this should have been the original solution, but my spouse had to drop it off and wasn't aware of consumer rights).
Oracle is known for being very aggressive with litigation and legal threats, exceptionally so even vs the other tech giants.

On the other hand, I know an oracle dev that suffered a horrible accident and took two years to rehabilitate. Oracle kept him on paid leave that whole time despite it being unrelated to the workplace and past their usual policy.

So based on that my understanding of them now is that they're more than a bit hostile/malignant to those outside the mothership, but not necessarily evil to each other inside it.
It wasn't OK for that boss to be dissing you. I'm glad you're out of that situation, but it shouldn't have happened.

If no one spoke up for you in the moment, I hope they came to you afterwards with support, and/or spoke with the boss, other managers, or HR on your behalf.

I suspect it wasn't so much a country-towards-city thing, though, but an individual being jerky. You'll find plenty of country people who are neighborly and welcoming, follow the best of Christian charity teachings, etc. Jerky non-inclusiveness in companies also often happens city-towards-country, one-ethnicity/caste-towards-another, one-gender-towards-another, rich-kid-careerist-towards-traditional-nerd, one-school-alumni-towards-others, etc.

AI safety is about making AI "safe" for their pocketbooks.
Why would that happen if unions actually took ownership of companies? If the unions' claims are correct, then them becoming actual corporations, owned by the workers, selling the service of organized labor to industries like the auto industry, should be more efficient than the current system, without having to sacrifice anything. Things like workplace safety regulations and the five day work week would simply be non-negotiable contract terms that the worker companies require in order to sell their services.
I'm not sure "clearly wrong" is so clear.

Consider a police officer detaining two people who were fighting in public, when one of them was acting in self-defence. This is the kind of thing I imagine when I hear "clearly wrong", but the authority figure is acting on the higher principle of maintaining public order, and may not have the necessary proof to let one person go. It could be more important to prioritise the immediate safety of everyone involved and sort out the details later, even at the cost of detaining the victim for a short time. There's not always time to explain what's going on, and an explanation would be a distraction from calming down the main conflict.

On the software side, consider a presentation given by a co-worker who recently got off bereavement leave, where there's a significant error in one of the slides that makes it seem like the design of the whole component is fatally flawed. Your boss tries to move on from the slide without giving you time to criticise it, because she knows your co-worker is emotionally vulnerable right now and wants to address the flaw in private. Your boss can't necessarily explain this in public because doing so would cause the same problem she's seeking to avoid.

When people talk in the abstract about authority being clearly wrong, I'm never sure whether it's a case like these ones where higher moral principles are at stake.
Did you ever reboot for patches or was it load balanced?
My 2 cents as a sysadmin who has worked with countless systems and databases: there has never been a more unintuitive database system than Oracle (atleast from the administrative side).

Anecdote: Back when I was just an apprentice, I was tasked to duplicate an Oracle database (the Oracle guy just left the company). It took me over 3 hours to figure that one out (exp vs expdp, FULL=Y and OWNER=FOO come to mind).

And don't even get me started on PDBs and usernames starting with "C##"!
This is definitely not true. A long time ago I was working for a smallish company and we were choosing between MSSQL and Oracle.

Microsoft pricing was up front. Oracle is “call us and talk”. This immediately made Oracle a non starter.

When I was at AWS, we could create all of the AWS accounts we wanted and do basically anything we wanted in internal accounts as long as it was tangentially work related or just to experiment with a few sensible guardrails like no publicly accessible S3 buckets without permission and no permissions to any accounts that were not also internal employee AWS accounts

The one thing we couldn’t do without a lot of approvals was start up an Oracle RDS instance without approval and justification.

There is a reason Amazon Redshift is called Redshift - it was built to let Amazon shift away from the Red company (Oracle).

My experience is that, at my first job out of college, I found out while learning SQL on the corp dev sandbox (specifically allocated for prototyping and learning SQL) that one of the functions I'd invoked had been part of some special function that we hadn't purchased. Not having purchased it didn't mean that the function was removed or deactivated or paywalled - instead, it meant that it would work and increment the "number of times this feature has been used" flag that the Oracle auditors could have used to charge my company millions and millions of extra dollars because we were using the feature.

I'd say Netflix propagandizes heavily, and they're trying to move to an ad model, and Apple does the vendor lock in thing extremely effectively.
This is usually down to provider implementation which switching the core won't help. The provider controls HTTP calls and errors against the relevant service API.

Here are the retries in the provider code https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/mai...

It's hard coded to "certificateCrossServicePropagationTimeout" which is 20 minutes here https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/mai...
I'm surprised it's the majority at all. It's so weird that people insert imaginary vowels to try to pronounce it as if it were a word.
Netflix is a major force behind the development and uptake of web DRM, which I'd consider pretty evil.

There’s an additional factor to this that the “leaving your AirPods in when talking to someone is rude” crowd don’t realize: AirPods are actually very effective hearing aids. (https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/11/study-airpods-pro-ar...)

This is how I use them. I have moderate hearing impairment and a modest budget, and have been hesitant to plunk down thousands of dollars for decent hearing aids. When I realized the $250 earphones I already had were really good hearing aids, and figured out how to set them up that way, it was life-transforming.

I do try to take a minute to explain to people that my AirPods help me to hear, when I think about it. But if you suffer from stuffy judgments that people who wear AirPods are inconsiderate a-holes, you might want to think twice about that.
Most of the time you can probably get by without any calibration at all, but since each windshield will have slightly different optical characteristics (and maybe it's possible to bump the camera housing and move it during uninstall/reinstall), if you want lane keeping and other safety features to work as well as possible, you need the calibration.

I suspect that if you were in an accident and tried to blame Tesla's autopilot or other automation for not working, they'll come back with "We have no record of recalibration when the windshield was replaced, we cannot be responsible for safety features with an uncalibrated camera system"

Yes, but there are also powerful provisions like section 230 [1] that protect smaller operations. I will concede that copyright legislation has severe flaws. Affirmative defenses and other protections for the little guy would be a necessary component of any new regime.

> when youtube-dl gets a DMCA takedown even though the repository contains no infringing code and has substantial non-infringing uses.

Look, I have used and like youtube-dl too. But it is clear to me that it operates in a gray area of copyright law. Secondary liability is a thing. Per the EFF excellent discussion of some of these issues [2]:

> In the Aimster case, the court suggested that the Betamax defense may require an evaluation of the proportion of infringing to noninfringing uses, contrary to language in the Supreme Court's Sony ruling.

I do not think it is clear how youtube-dl fares on such a test. I am not a lawyer, but the issue to me does not seem as clear cut as you are presenting.

> Worker cooperatives are conceptually not too different from union-founded companies.

But they are conceptually different from unions that aren't actual companies. Worker cooperatives and union-founded companies take on actual business risks: it's up to them to find markets for their products and services and organize themselves to make the most efficient use of the capital they own (much of which is the skills and knowledge of their workers/owners). Traditional unions do not take on business risks; they expect the corporations their workers all work for to do that. But refusing to take on business risk also means you are giving up upside; risk and reward go together. So unions that don't take the initiative to become worker cooperatives or actual corporations should not be complaining that the corporations are taking more upside.
I think it is not uncommon in the US for place names to take on a local pronunciation. It seems to become part of the local identity. For instance, Cairo (kay-roh) Illinois. The locals know how it is pronounced when referring to the city in Egypt, but they will correct you if you pronounce the name of their town that way.

Thanks. I appreciate that making an API that can be implemented with the wide variety of decoding implementations is not an easy task.

But to be specific, this is a bit problematic with I-frames only videos too, and with optimizeForLatency enabled (that does make the queue shorter). I can of course .flush() to get the frames out but this is too slow for smooth playback.

I think I could just keep pushing chunks until I see the frame I want coming out but it will have to be done in an async "busy loop" which feels a bit nasty. But this is done also in the "official" examples I think.

Something like "enqueue" event (similarly to dequeue) that more chunks after last .decode() are needed to saturate the decoder would allow for a clean implementation. Don't know if this is possible with all backends though.

Yeah, there's a huge variety of SBCs that exist, most of which have a better specs/price ratio than RPi. If you buy a RPi, you're spending money on the hardware, you're spending it on the mountains of support/tutorials/standardization. I suspect that most people on HN can handle the reduced knowledge base that exists for BPi, OPi, ROCK, etc.
