I never said that. What the previous gent said was he wanted property prices artificially lowered.

I'm simply saying those who were stuck buying at inflated prices might be opposed to that.

My employer will reimburse us for books and pays for conference attendance. The people who seem to benefit from this are the people who would have sought out the information on their own. Most employees won't do anything more than is required of them or demanded by their manager, and conferences are basically seen as an excuse to not work for a couple days by most of my coworkers.

I personally pay for O'Reilly's service, which my employer used to provide, and just see it as an expense of my profession. I'm also paid drastically more than average because I'm knowledgable about more things and have more ideas to draw from.

"Don't kill your volunteers"?

edit: a more serious answer is that this is an escape trick, and generally when you do an escape trick:

1) The magician is doing the escaping
2) You _show the escape_

In this case, the volunteer is basically just shoved into the water and (presumably) drowns. The audience is left to _infer_ that there was an escape, if they choose to, or I guess they could infer that Penn and Teller are cold blooded murderers and got away with it. Either inference would be quite the good trick.

> destroy the property values

So if I invent an awesome new car, it's selfish because it's destroying the value of your beater? If I invent a new GPU that costs 1/10 the price of existing ones, it's selfish because your computer is now worthless on the secondary market?

Homes are to LIVE in, I consider them consumables just like cars, just on the order of ~a lifetime instead of ~10 years. I don't give a flying f about neighbors' house or car values, I just care that I have a comfortable roof to live under and that I can afford it.

I know boomers treat houses as investment assets. I don't. They're shitty return and high-maintainence as an investment. But I'd like to have my own so I can modify the hell out of it to my liking.
Note: Compliance departments in insurance companies are basically intended to facilitate by rote presentations of trainings to check off that list item as a required business operation.

> glossing over the fact that the alternative hurts employees.

...And, potentially, the planet.

In my mind it's reasonable to expect employers to cover costs of things like equipment. But, I do wonder how much CA is considering it's own interests here. It seems like this could be abused to do things like bring people back to downtown areas impacted by COVID or lightly discourage hiring employees who don't live in state (and therefore pay sales tax.) That case could also end poorly for society (and the planet.)
The Western centric view of world history strikes again. The article is talking about Denisovans and last I checked, Denisova Cave wasn’t in Northern Europe.

>it's actually dangerous to the careers of civil servants to do anything innovative

As a general rule, this is probably true. But there are certainly roles where people are encourage to innovate. Remember, the government is huuuge. If you get a job in a legitimate research lab, you are not only encouraged, but expected to innovate. I'd be careful we're not conflating something like an operations role with that of a research role. (Although, to your point, there is some value in ops people innovating, too).

So I think the important question is though, if you had spent thousands on dollars on a camera would those lights still be required?

If the answer is yes, then the feat is still an important one.

I know that some lights would still be required, but I honesty don't know the answer if they needed additional lights to compensate or if they could have gotten away with less.
I honestly don't see the point. Who really cares in 2023? It will take too long to explain how to type it in. And if you don't need to you will hardly notice it.

I don't disagree at all. The OP I was responding to mentioned non-public-domain works like a blog.

My point was that we haven't yet seen the products of GenAI stuff really making money yet. People are paying for the tool, and people are paying for work that is being done using the tool, but nobody buys a book, image, movie, or similar from OpenAI or Google directly.
The camera is ok.

The difficult bit is the expensive rig + post processing software + extensive skills required to get this result.
I'm not OP, but there's a few rules being broken there that I can think of:

- At the end of the trick, there's a reveal that wraps things up. In the case of escapes, it would be showing the magician safe and not actually drowned or eaten by sharks, etc.

- The "volunteer" is just there to be a surrogate for the audience, to verify some things, they're not _really_ involved in the trick

- You must hide that the volunteer is a plant when they are (they're not always). They couldn't do a lot of that stuff to some random person, so this rule is broken.

- The magician would generally not talk about eg how Houdini would have done that trick (even if I think they're intentionally mis-stating how Houdini would have done it, for most tricks there'd be absolutely no reason to use picks, you'd use a key or a faked lock or a faked locking mechanism, because why not).

It's an anti-trick because they're doing everything the wrong way around. The volunteer is the one that does the dangerous part, the magician isn't doing anything, the volunteer is obviously not a volunteer, the "trick" doesn't actually visibly show anything magical happening (visually, you just watched a murder essentially, no escape ... you only know it's an escape because they _probably_ didn't really just murder somebody for a show), and they "told" you how the trick was being done.

All against the basic rules of magic. Perfect for Penn and Teller, they love playing meta games and having fun with the rules of magic.
It's a generalization; if you squint hard enough every employee at Facebook and Google is making ads clickable, including the janitorial staff.
This is a tiny subset of cases. You need to make this clear up front if you are trying to limit the discussion to only fast-moving startups. For many people, that environment would be a miserable existence for many of the same reasons that this specific case benefits from everybody being in the office. We should really not try to optimize or generalize for this specialized case - it would hurt everybody. It would be like punishing everybody who doesn't work overtime - i.e. you're describing an exception that people, if they truly want to, are free to willingly engage in. But it's irrelevant to the broader discussion of work-life balance in a healthy society.

Dennis Kucinich: Thou Shalt Not Kill
Yes that's how it should be.

When you throw computers into the mix and have them control people's lives, then authority is no longer about a structured relationship towards a common goal and facilitating social behaviour.

It's about arbitrary politics.
Yup.

Maybe it's also time that companies take cybersecurity more seriously, and maybe not just companies, but governments too.

If insurance companies would cover ransomware damage, you can be certain those insurance companies would IMMEDIATELY lobby the government to enforce cyber security standards, audits, pentesting etc.

It's not happening as long as the NSA is on top of the race of cyberweapons, but once that changes, you can be certain that software is going to be more secure.
> DC doesn't go after these "security consulting firms located in non-signatory states" just precisely because they want to be able to use them

You can't dismiss something as a non-risk unless you prove that the risk is zero.

I bet dollars against peanuts that you can't even prove it on your own terms. Is the chance that someone will attach it to a nuclear launch or a bioweapon system zero?

Not to even mention your or anyone else's ability to prove it today that it has no potential to become self-aware.

Faced proved and hypothetical risks, I'd rather solve the former and investigate the latter than ignore any.
Yep. Mentally it's rather like the unpredictable behavior you'd get if an API server was passing code to the client for it to execute.
Definitely not no one.

I think it's related to latency. There is no way to fake low latency and for that you often need the complete chain of hardware.

I'm the opposite to you though, rather have an original C64 on modern capture (low latency GV-USB2) and (S)NES classic controller input.
It depends on your schema, I've worked with systems where we have multiple clients in a single system, the data was separated with per-client views.

And it also depends whether the database is MSSQL ($2k/month on AWS) or something like Aurora.
Geekbench does though.

When you thought something could be automated by ai, were you thinking soon? Like say adjusting memory and gc settings for java in a running app? I just don't see ai solving problems that I run into like that in the next few years. I do see ai helping people write much more code maybe, work in domains that they don't understand well (I want to add new php functions to do blah to extend my company's website, but i don't know anything about php).

So write me prototype code to do something that I can describe in brief, but skeptical of doing things that are futzing with per-application use case cloud settings. I don't want to have to learn how you adjust foo or bar or baz on google cloud and aws and azure and ... - automating that is useful. I'd like to automate say java memory changes, but making the gc system do it without me needing to change flags is even better.

This is a super impressive tech-demo. Not practical for us consumers (who don't have expensive pro-level equipment surrounding the phone-camera), and not meaningful for professionals (who would just use a normal camera), but it is still a pure technical achievement that deserves a look and a cheer.
> Street lights deter crime.

Kinda, sometimes. But this field is also fraught with tons of "bad implementations of a good idea", making the problem worse, as well as intuitions that don't hold up to empirical studies.

Classic example is a neighborhood adds extra bright streetlamps and neighbors install extra-bright flood lights on their garages. This illuminates some areas, but the areas that are missed become even "darker" because the extra light in people's eyes ruins night vision. Hiding in the bushes with your black thieving skimask (or along the fence line, or just off the road) becomes even more effective, and everyone else just gets a bright streetlight shining into their bedroom window all night long.

There's a whole subculture of designers talking about what makes effective street lighting, but it basically comes down to less blue light aimed more downwards.

And the best crime deterrent is having a lively neighborhood with more eyes on the street in the Jacobs-ey fashion. I heard of one crime study that considered lighting and cameras and all those things but found the best predictor of low crime rates was how many dogs lived in the neighborhood (and therefore people outside walking their dogs).

"There is absolutely nothing I can do with my M2
laptop that I cannot do well with my cheap old Intel laptop"

Well, I took that one in good faith and interpreted it to mean that the old Intel laptop was perfectly adequate for their personal needs.

The alternative interpretation, that they believed there was no objective difference in capability between Intel and Apple Silicon laptops, was so absurd I couldn't imagine anybody expressing it or believing it. I think I made the correct interpretation but it was definitely an extrapolation on my part and definitely fits the HN guideline of "assume best intentions."

To be clear, the Apple Silicon laptops certainly trounce the Intel MBPs and I think most developers will find them well worth the upgrade for most things -- I just didn't like the assertion that anybody still using an Intel Mac was equivalent to somebody riding the Tour de France in a Huffy.
I'll add, from their perspective, it may also have security risk associated with it. If you are applying for a federal job, there may be a chance that you deal with sensitive information. Just like I may think it's bullshit if they ask how much debt I'm carrying, I understand it from the standpoint that it may impact my security risk.

Upwards. Second order effects of schemes like prohibition are much worse than the original problems.

It's also not quite analogous to the ransomware prohibition, because it's more akin to a prisoner's dilemma, and there's no inherent desire to pay ransomware criminals in the human psyche like there is to alter consciousness.

Just confirmed that my brain is much worse at producing randomness than python's random module. The site predicted my own "random" key strokes with ~67% accuracy. It was able to predict the output of a trivial python program that chose randomly between 'f' and 'd' with only 53% accuracy, and that probably would have converged to 50% with a larger sample.
This is a civil issue. No need to legislate.

Since upgrading to 118 I've had random hangs of firefox every few days. Not clear why, no CPU or swap. All windows just freeze and need a "killall firefox", which works - shutting firefox down cleanly.

Of course it's impossible to find anything anywhere about this due to search engine spam

Was fine for years until 118 and is rare enough to not be able to reliably reproduce it (and thus do things like disabling extensions, running the pain of a new profile, etc), so I guess I have to live with it, as life's too short.

Like siblings comments have mentioned, the gear has always been part of the game. Before I was in software I did low budget videography. Lighting, audio, set equipment, editing, and the little bits that add extra quality have always been part of a good production. There are hacks to make equipment or repurpose things for the same effect as the expensive and nice hardware you’re seeing.

One of the most common hacked together items is a steady cam rig. The simplest version is made from a couple iron pipes and an appropriate screw for your camera mount.
