My wife works in a lab for a regional medical company. They just sold out their labs to a national medical lab company, effective January.

She's only heard bad things about this other company. Her wage is basically guaranteed to stagnate, they're not as generous about PTO, and they contribute surprisingly little to health insurance plans.

Oh, but I'm sure the management is flying away on a golden parachute.
I'm a collapsenik and even I think TBWHTTA is unhelpfully overstating its case. We're screwed, but not that screwed.
Well those are numbers, so it seems like there's more to your reasons than you're letting on.
https://blog.paul.cx/post/audio-video-synchronization-with-t... has some background, https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/blob/main/samples/lib/web_a... is part of a full example that you can run using web codecs, web audio, audioworklet SharedArrayBuffer, and does A/V sync.

If it doesn't answer your question let me know because I wrote both (and part of the web audio spec, and part of the webcodecs spec).
Yeah I was thinking last night that my comments here were a lot more strident about this than I am in real life. I agree with your whole comment, except I think the middle ground between team-level management and program management is more often better served by tooling, architecture, requirements, or team structure changes rather than project management.

(I get it, sometimes the need for a lot of planning is imposed from the top, like if you sign a contract with an immovable delivery date, but I think most organizations should do whatever they can to avoid doing that, in order to enable them to structure projects flexibly and have small mostly-autonomous teams.)

I think the personality thing is important both in terms of contentment with your work (and thus which organizations and projects you choose) and in terms of how you analyze the relative value of things when evaluating trade-offs between the different things an organization can invest its time and resources on.
Another way to phrase this from an Autistic PoV to an authority figure:

You are no better than I.

---

That really upsets certain people.

The Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene with the peasants debating supreme authority with King Arthur is a good representation of this.

NB: This isn't a SovCit situation where one doesn't recognize society around them, nor does it imply resisting authority as a Sovcit might want do.

And of course, no autistic person is the same. Symptoms, limits, and so on are different for everyone.

Show HN: JSX in Browser with Sucrase
Been working on a number of React projects, and was intrigued a little by JSX. I wanted to make running JSX in browser easier, so I tried my hand at using a service worker, to transpile JSX on the fly.

I started with @babel/standalone, but the library was heavy enough to notice a delay on the browser. I found out about sucrase a little later, and tried building it for the browser, and voila!

Didn't really thoroughly test if everything JSX is supported, but it seems fine for small learning or prototyping.
I'm still waiting for the day when someone puts one of these language models inside of a platform with constant sensor input (cameras, microphones, touch sensors), and a way to manipulate outside environment (robot arm, possibly self propelled).

It's hard to tell if something is intelligent when it's trapped in a box and the only input it has is a few lines of text.
Its very hard to find any of the emails to make up one's own mind. The wiki page is pure information management. That is one of the few places where you can see what the researchers said in their own words.
> Employees risk a lot more than most stock holders by working for a company.

Uhm no?

You apparently never been a business owner. Employees get their wages, and even can legally enforce them.
If a business go down, owners eat the losses and envy their employees.

I've been on both sides. Being a business owner is much riskier.
> If it was shallow then it wouldn’t take 25 years for a human brain to fully train.

It doesn't. You can speak perfectly fine with children. And in fact some teenagers think they know everything.
This sounds like absolute hell. This is everything I hate about modern software development.
This kind of thing is pointless against a targeted attack. But it can hide you long enough in case of zero-days/fresh unpatched vulnerabilities because attackers will first target the more easily visible victims.
I'm 100% with you on that. I've never heard meaningful or valid criticism of him. It's all lazy hand wavy utterances that indicate all of his critics never listen to him for more than 20 mins.

Every time I hear people talk about leaked emails proving a conspiracy I'm reminded of an incident on a Minecraft server I played on when I was 16. One faction (us) leaked some internal chats from another group, they made them look pretty bad, but we were selective about it. We choose the bad quotes and then implied more meaning on top of the words. We took things out of context, and then there was the fact that if anyone had leaked our slack (this was before discord took off), they'd have been able to paint a pretty nasty picture of us.

Also here's the wikipedia article about this incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email_c.... I think Scott Alexander was right when he pointed out that scientists are willing to say pretty unpopular things in anonymous polls, but the vast majority still report, even anonymously that they believe in human caused global warming
Goldilocks went inside the Git Hut. First she inspected the git repo of the great, huge bear, and that was 2TB which was far too large and monolithic for her. And then she tasted the 281 repos of the middle bear, and they were far too small and numerous for her. And then she went to the 10 repos of the little, small wee bear, and checked out those repos. And they were neither too large nor too small and numerous, but just right; each had it's own reason to be and she liked it so well, that she sat down and cloned it all.
That's not convincing: such a technique could still be in use since quite long for less sensitive targets; or it could be used by less "responsible" actors. Again, it doesn't look like the kind of stuff that you need to be the CIA to do.
I don't understand... how does this work, and why is it better (or worse) than just opening YouTube in a different browser tab or window?
100% accurate! She has a tendency to read one person's opinion on it and echo it. I have seen it for years with things. I'm not shocked AI is the current one but I wish it were easier to get her to take time to learn things and think critically. I have no idea how I'd begin to teach her why so much of the fear mongering is ridiculous.

Yeah there are legitimate risks to all of this stuff but, to understand those and weigh them against the overblown risks, she'd have to understand the whole subject more deeply and have experimented with different AI. But you even mention ChatGPT she's talking about how it's evil and scary.
> This too smells like a "luxury belief" to me. If you're actually experiencing the problem, you want to solve stuff

This is kind of broad and I don't think it's super fair to what I'm trying to say. You might want to solve stuff very badly, but simultaneously want to hold space for communal grief. There are examples of this all over the place (look at any community response to a mass shooting). Waving that away as "noise and energy" is IMO a kind of tech-bro, solutionist impulse that ignores the very real function that it serves in creating bonds between people or like entrenching a shared culture. Solutions come from coherent political movements, coherent political movements come from people who know and trust each other. Being together, in physical space, airing the same grievances and seeing how many people stand with you is incredibly empowering and an important step in producing the kind of mass movements that bring change. You can call that a luxury belief if you want, but I would encourage you to talk with poor people who actually organize political movements (although maybe you do and we just run in different circles) because I think your mind will be changed.

>I just want "money goes in" and "enough money eventually comes out" and I don't think I'm alone in that. You can accomplish that with a well-run pension, a well-run government plan, and so on. Lots of options that don't involve me having to decide between stock and bond funds.

"The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries."

This actually did more to explain the implementation basics that most intros I’ve read.

I’m not the parent but I just end up not wanting to have to debug network traffic across two protocols where I don’t know how to deterministically work out which is in use.

Then I need to work out new firewall rules and replacements for things like Pi-hole, home DNS, etc. Realistically that’s just me reading docs for 10 minutes, and double-checking everything has the “work with ipv6 box” toggled.

But personally my hesitation is getting stuck in this in between and maintaining two network setups.

Not terrifying, just a lot of work I don’t need to do.

But thank you. Now I’m inspired to do it.
Seasonal variation in carbon uptake, because most of the worlds landmass is in the northern hemisphere. More details from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeling_Curve

> The Keeling Curve also shows a cyclic variation of about 6 ppmv each year corresponding to the seasonal change in uptake of CO2 by the world's land vegetation. Most of this vegetation is in the Northern hemisphere where most of the land is located. From a maximum in May, the level decreases during the northern spring and summer as new plant growth takes CO2 out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis. After reaching a minimum in September, the level rises again in the northern fall and winter as plants and leaves die off and decay, releasing CO2 back into the atmosphere.

I guess I'd rather have a vote over my compensation and working conditions rather than having to negotiate it or "vote with my feet". Different strokes for different folks. For what it's worth I'm against mandatory union participation, but would almost certainly participate if I had the option.
Ooh, as a pre-teen of An Early Post-Soviet Country, I remember how puzzled I was as to what the hell that message and the files with those curly logos in the folders of most of my pirated DOS games actually mean. A paper dictionary lookup (razor = "habemeajaja" or "raseerija" or "žiletitera" in Estonian) didn't help either. Also, in our language, "warez" rhymes with "vares" [v-uh-res], which typically stands for "hooded crow" (corvus cornix), so... this + 1911... uh... that didn't make sense either.

As a boy really into drawing, I was seriously impressed by that ASCII art, though. It is surely a big part of why I still find the DOS/ASCII aesthetic the most pleasurable in terms of computer graphics and GUIs.
No, I'm convinced that some people are blaming people commenting from their cellphone for not spoon feeding them the entire story when they could spend the same energy on extrapolating for themselves.

This sort of learned helplessness didn't help you in school, and it certainly doesn't help you professionally.

Also, "Whatever <move on to another topic that interests you more>" is a perfectly valid response. 90% of the time only narcissists care about ambivalence.

Yes. We are extremely powerful and need to learn to harness our power before it's too late.
It took like a decade to get average LCD screen to look as good as old CRT. And still need a ton of post-processing to make old pixel art games to look as good as before on LCD.

And I did play a bunch of games 10-20-30 years after they were released and they still hold up. My limit seems to be around SNES-era graphics, before that it just feels too ugly and clunky for me.

Sure, many games just feel like any modern titles do everything better, but some play just fine if you can stomach some of the obsolete mechanics.

> I fired up Doom 2 again on one of the many ports and it looks great, all the nice memories came flooding back, and yet it wasn't the same. It made me realize that the magic wasn't in the games, or the computers or the people. The magic was in us being a bunch of kids born into infinite curiosity and no (real) responsibilities. That magic unfortunately cannot be recreated in adult life.

I thought about it a lot and come to conclusion that every new interesting experience bumps our "standard" up and so once you accumulate a ton of that it's just harder and harder to be wowed by new game, even if it is just fine, fun and plays nice. But me getting my first car in my 30s was still thrilling and I was giggling like mad so dunno about "kid" part. Yeah kids know shit all so everything new is exciting but that doesn't mean you can't find magic moments in the adulthood, just amount of work required is higher.
I disagree. In my experience, user/customer reviews have been vastly more useful to me for learning about serious safety or quality issues with a product or service than they have been for any purpose (unspecified because I really can't think of any) predicated on learning about specific users' weird gripes. I can practically smell the unreasonableness dripping off that review somebody linked above, and I would ignore it if I spotted it in a list of reviews—but unfortunately I can't ignore it out of the aggregate rating.

Anyway, this isn't going anywhere productive, so I'm out.

If this chip is comparable to a M2, then I would bet on Microsoft investing more in Windows 11 on ARM. There is value for them across all their product lines, from Surface devices where performance vs. efficiency is important from a battery life perspective, to Azure, where competitive products are rolling out ARM support that is really compelling from a cost perspective.
How do I learn the ways you're supposed upkeep this snapshot system? Because if this is like git, merges are gonna be a real pain. Because if this is anywhere like full filesystem rollbacks. it's gonna be a real pain.

Also, I use a lot of software that likes being funny, do unspecified system-wide modifications while being outside of the package manager system therefore break it in non-reproducible ways down the line.

I currently went and wandered into "I just want things to not break by default" [1] territory, and I use the semi-immutable systems of Fedora Silverblue/Sericea.

I saw openSUSE Aeon/Kalpa, and liked the fact that it also has SELinux enabled, but it looks like the snapshot system interacts in bad ways with the overlay systems.

[1] Things that want to install garbage even as root in random places will get either denied by SELinux or reverted once a new system update layer happens.
That is the question. AI is an ill-defined marketing BS, what is the actual definition in the law? Artificial Intelligence as used in the science/industry is a pretty broad term, and even more narrow "machine learning" is notoriously hard to define. Another question is that all this is being used for more than a decade for a lot of legitimate things which can also be easily misused to create biological weapons (AlphaFold), how does it regulate it? The article doesn't answer these questions, what matters is where exactly the actual proposed law draws the line in the sand. The devil is always in the details.
> the "joke" implied intimacy in said meal.

No, the joke is literally that it tastes better because I’m not worrying about the fine details. You are your own worst critic and all that. When somebody else makes it, you can enjoy the food for what it is and don’t find yourself focusing on the flaws.

And I don’t think I’m missing the forest for the trees here. The whole argument hinges on, “things are innately better if I put more work into it”, which I don’t believe is true. In the specific example of ready made meals vs a meal being cooked personally, the quality of the food has no bearing on how much work it took you to prepare it.

And this is trivially provable. Wealthy people that have personal chefs certainly don’t have a lower quality of life even though they don’t personally prepare every meal. Of course McDonald’s everyday will lower your quality of life, but going to fine restaurants won’t. All of these have vastly different levels of effort involved, but the effort involved doesn’t correlate to quality of life.

>So another example: an autistic person meets their company’s CEO. They know who they are, but they greet them as an equal. They say hi. They crack a Chandler-esque joke. They are relaxed and unfazed by the massive authority that is shrinking their peers down.

>This may be great! The CEO might think, Wow! Here’s a go-getting individual, if they’re nice and positive. But they may also think, Who is this worm with no respect for my status?

I didn't make it of high school (still undiagnosed) without the understanding that many people "in authority" are incompetent, vicious, spiteful authoritarians, and best to avoid authority at all costs because I have no ability to kiss ass even if it seemed like a good idea game-theory wise.

Not all of us. I have a friend who I swear is ASD2 that waltzes up to CEOs all the time, and he seems to do fine. My mind screams "what are you doing????!!!" at him, like he's standing up in a foxhole, drawing fire. YMMV I guess.

I'm not sure if this is commentary on me somehow or not lol but I agree with you. She is the same person who will point out issues with things my brother brings up but yeah is unable to recognize it when she does it. I'm sure I'm guilty but, naturally, I don't know of them.
Obviously, I don't know that person's mom, but I know mine and other moms, and I don't think it's a milquetoast conclusion that it's a combination of both. However, the former (as both a proxy and Musk himself) probably carries more weight. Most non-technical people's thoughts on AI aren't particularly nuanced or original.

Musk certainly doesn't help with anything. In my experience, a lot of people of my mom's generation are still sucking the Musk lollipop and are completely oblivious to Musk's history of lying to investors, failing to keep promises, taking credit for things he and his companies didn't invent, promoting an actual Ponzi scheme, claiming to be autistic, suggesting he knows more than anyone else, and so on. Even upon being informed, none of it ends up mattering because "he landed a rocket rightside up!!!"

So yeah, if Musk hawks some lame opinion on a thing like AI, tons of people will take that as an authoritative stance.
Yeah, I'd like to see the measurement locations.
Basically the northern hemisphere has more land/forest. When it's summer there, trees turn CO2 into wood much faster. Until mushroom season. (It's more complex of course, and not just the trees.)
More useful: [1]

This is just a natural gas powered generating plant using a different working fluid. The goal is to get from current efficiencies approaching 48% to somewhere above 50%.

The record for a natural gas powered plant is 68% efficiency.[2] That's a gas turbine. Indirect heating, with combustion to working fluid to turbine, is less efficient. However, if CO2 as a working fluid results in a smaller plant, it might be worth it for some applications.
