White House unveils wide-ranging action to mitigate AI risks
well the person CAN very easily refuse if they care about not selling out to some faceless corporation and fucking their customers, but obviously most of these people dont care about that, so again, seems like you should be getting mad at them.

i just dont understand exactly what is the problem here. do you think people shouldnt be able to sell their businesses for what they are worth?
> Some younger employees also reportedly stated that their salary and career paths are much better at Tesla as compared to other automakers. They also appreciated the fact that they were issued stock options from the company, some of whom have reportedly seen an increase of several hundred percent to date.

This hits on something that I've seen as a difference between American mindset and the Euro mindset. It seems that in Europe workers prefer more security and a steadier type of job, whereas in America there is a willingness to risk more for greater rewards.

This in my mind plays into part of the difference between how the tech space has grown on the two continents, as it seems being a temporarily embarrassed millionaire really motivates people to come up with something to sale, even if most of it is crap occasionally a good idea will pan out.
But the labor market is not that liquid. May be easier to fight for changes at current employer than pound the pavement. This is compounded by seniority perks, insurance (COBRA costs), relocation costs (financial and personal), and to some extent non-compete clauses.
Of course not. The problem aren't the mom and pop shops. The problem are the PE companies making those offers. These are the ones to go after.
Yep, that's one of it's best features.

LBRY fucked itself over by issuing crypto and raising money around it. They were required to be registered and they chose not to for some stupid reason.
Hostile takeovers are a very small fraction (single digit percentage) of PE buyouts and have been for a long time.

And if taking on debt were so advantageous in and of itself you would think the executives of these companies that solicit PE buyout offers would just issue the debt themselves and enjoy their increasingly valuable options packages.
It's a bit worrisome that people tie in the "I'm getting stocks" benefit with "I don't need the union". There is no reason for people to not getting stock options just because they're part of the union, but someone they Tesla employees seems to be under that impression? Why?

Sinclair Lewis has multiple titles listed - best-selling author of the 1920s - later a Nobel Prize winner in literature.

I'm not familiar with a lot of those books, admittedly. But most books in the top 10 for those years are notable enough, that they have their own Wikipedia article. "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in particular are highly influential works. They've had movies etc. made and are surely familiar titles to the average American, even if they may not have read them.
Sorry I was being oblique to signal some snark. You're sort of hitting my point directly: "luxury beliefs" are just whatever you personally believe to be (a) wrongly held and (b) limited to only the aristocracy (ie. not the opinion of "real Americans"). But concretely demonstrating both is kind of difficult and largely relies on your own subjective experience. It's a political cudgel, not a proper tool of inquiry.
Yes most of the time, but the occasional unlucky person would still get hit by a longbow arrow from seemingly nowhere. Maybe they're passing by some training grounds or some other non-combat zone.

As with so many software solutions, the success of microservices is predicated upon having sufficient prognostication about how the system will be used to recognize where the cut-points are.

When I hear success stories like that, I have to ask "Is there some inherent benefit to the abstraction or did you get lucky in picking your cleave-points?"
I built a 100'x60' 2 story building using these blocks with just me at age 20 and a 16 year old kid. Spent the days building lego brick wall and laying and tying rebar. Cement day was mostly a rest day watching the pump truck fill the section of wall. This is a fantastic construction method in many climates. The biggest downside of raw concrete structures is the lack of insulation.
>"In five years we're going to have batteries that are 10 times lighter, 10 times faster to change and 10 times cheaper. Wait five years before you buy!"

I did not read the article but in the current state of battery technology and charger availability that seems the prudent thing to do, especially so for pickup trucks.

Even without using mixed-degree multivectors, the fact that the existence and the properties of all the different kinds of multivectors results from a small set of simple axioms is very satisfying in itself.

Before all these concepts were unified by geometric algebra, the system of physical quantities as taught in most places was a huge mess of many different kinds of quantities, scalars, polar vectors, axial vectors, pseudoscalars, tensors, pseudotensors, complex numbers, quaternions, spinors and so on.

It was not at all obvious why there are so many kinds of quantities, which are the relationships between them, are there any other kinds of quantities besides those already studied, etc.

Geometric algebra has brought order in this chaos and it has enabled a much deeper and more complete understanding of physics, by reducing a long list of seemingly arbitrary rules to a much smaller set of axioms, and by deriving all the many kinds of physical quantities from the vectors in the strict sense, i.e. from the translations of the space, which are themselves derived from the points of the affine space (as equivalence classes of point pairs).

(Both logically and historically, in physics the vectors are more fundamental than the scalars. The scalars are obtained by dividing collinear vectors, i.e. they are equivalence classes of pairs of collinear vectors. This division operation is a.k.a. measurement and what are now named as "real numbers" were named as "measures" in the past, for more than two millennia. For any Archimedean group it is possible to define a division operation using the Axiom of Archimedes, generating a set of scalars over which the original group is a vector space).
I feel this entire post.

My career record (US Navy) for cost savings was something over $50MM. Every time I did something I had to do PowerPoints, present to Flag Officers, etc. Hell, once I almost got hugely punished because I didn't let my boss take the credit (he had no desire to because he had zero idea what it was I even did).

Note that some of that was as a Lean Six-Sigma Black Belt doing Enterprise projects (I hate every single bit of terminology in that entire godforsaken sentence), where it was literally my JOB to save the DOD as much money as possible with the least disruption possible. Those were the absolute worst years of my career. That period of my career was my reward for just going rogue and fixing things that saved millions.

I'll echo the last part of that post: Beware of doing good things at work; the reward is rarely compensation and is usually more work for the same pay.
>RE 1: Customers have zero influence on this. If you have a pet, you'll need a vet, and if the owner of the owner-operated clinic next to you gets an offer they can't refuse... I can't imagine you'll find some other owner-operated clinic to visit out of spite, where the now-corporate one next to you is open, and perhaps even cheaper.

I have seldom gone to the nearest vet/pediatrician/hospital. Inevitably I try it, it's bad, and then I spend time driving to some place further away that I actually like. And I drive an average of 4000 miles per year; with the median driver traveling some multiple of that each year, I can only assume that most people are way more willing than I to shop around.
The civilian drones used by Ukraine is made possible by Starlink satellite dishes. Without Starlink, the real time spotting is not possible.

The US at least wants a human pressing the button and is not willing to let AI make a lethal order.
That last line isn't a joke.

I've been on the receiving end of middle management because I've been able to fix things in the business that have always been broken but never got fixed until I worked on them.

Management will claim it's their work, will give you just lip service, will not use your name higher up the hierarchy and will actively down play their own mistakes whilst blaming the rest of the department or developers (e.g. like building a project with wrong requirements they actually provided, then missing the deadlines because stakeholders demand changes).

Where that has happened I quit and then they just go back to the status quo.

This is a brutally biased source that is known for twisting the truth to support the reader's feelings. I absolutely ensure that this is not the full story at all and it all reads as union busting fear to me.

And thats with me owning a Model 3.
This is an interesting read but at the same time I'm puzzled at the length this is going to in order to avoid engaging with ideas the author disagrees with.

This seems similar to the "virtue signaling" attack. But instead of opponents being charged with hypocrisy, they are accused of being (1) privileged, (2) vain, and (3) either senseless or indifferent towards the well-being of others. It seems to me this is suggesting these people don't ever deserve to take part in democracy, which is worrying.
Maybe they are busy working - after while layoffs everyone is working a bit more to say the truth
So there's effectively a bidding war between the union and the company, and in this case the company won? To the extent that the union is about helping the employees the union just won too.
It is interesting. I would have thought executive orders were more frequently used now than in the past. Apparently that peaked 80 years ago.
Per quarter, not per year. That is also the average across all users, while only the power users (ones that make up a majority of the ad revenue) will pay for a subscription, so their ad value is a lot more than average.
Some people do have a legit need for some level of verification. However, I also find a surprising number of people who seem to be quite deeply invested in the status, for lack of a better word. This really started pre-Musk when a blue checkmark theoretically meant you were notable (on some axis).
And this is the difference between competence and incompetence in tech. We can argue about whether 10x developers exist, but one thing I hope we can agree on is this: Certain problems can't be solved no matter how many incompetent people we throw at the problem.
Yeah, but corporations rarely fire only the incompetent people. Quite often it's the best paid engineers who get fired first because that saves the most money. And when there's a voluntary get-out program, it's the unappreciated competent people who are the most eager to leave.
On the contrary, when they fail silently, it is hard debug "dependent" services
Hi,

There is MySQL Newsletter https://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/newsletter/

Though I think it would be good if there are independent ones too.
I recently had some discussions and did some research on this topic and I feel like there is a lot people don't talk about in these articles.

Here are some more considerations between micro services and monolothic tradeoffs. Its also important to consider these two things as a scale and not a binary decision.

1. Isolation. Failure in on service doesn't fail the whole system. Smaller services have better isolation.

2. Capacity management. Its easier to estimate the resource usage of a smaller service because it has less responsibilities. This can result in efficiency gains. Extended to this is you can also give optimized resources to specific services. A prediction service can use GPU while web server can use CPU only. A monolothic may need to use compute with both which could result in less optimized resources.

3. Dev Ops Overhead. In general monolothic services have less management overhead because you only need to manage/deploy one or few services over many.

4. Authorization/Permissions. Smaller services can be given a smaller scope permissions.

5. Locality. Monolothic can share memory and therefore have better data locality. Small services use networks and have higher overhead.

6. Ownership. Smaller services can have more granular ownership. Its easier to transfer ownership.

7. Iteration. Smaller services can move independently of one another and can release at seperate cadences.
> Are the apps you're using substantially better than they were 4 years ago? Are they doing substantially more for you that you wanted from them?

Yes - in general, the apps I am running are doing more and are better than they were when I first got a given model phone :)

I went from the 4S to the 6S Plus to the 11 and am waiting on my backordered 15 Pro currently

I still have the 6S Plus in a drawer in my utility room - it "works" for lite tasks like web browsing, but will not run most of the productivity apps I need/want for work or the educational apps my kids need/want for school. So, for me, it is a "useless" device (so the kids get to play with it - and nobody cares what happens because it is 8 years old)

My 11 still "works", too - but it is getting very long in the tooth
Surprisingly, AV1 is easier to implement a decoder for than VP9 (by design). Some of the VP9 transforms were axed with AV1 purely to make the stream easier to decode.

Why AV1 hardware decoding has taken so long seems to be an issue with hardware manufactures not wanting to support it. HEVC and VVC seem to have more hardware support.
On the other hand, even if you fuck up really badly economically in Sweden, you have a lot of protections and safety nets that can catch you, so with that in mind, people should be more willing to take risks, as you'll still be able to afford going to the hospital and such.

But that doesn't seem to translate to reality, sadly.

Everywhere you drive, you leave behind microplastics as particulate. These are washed into waterways and end up in aquatic ecosystems, including the seafood you eat. There's also some small enough to be airborne, thus prone to inhalation by humans and other animals.[1] Particulate production from road wear increases with the fourth power of the weight of the vehicle.[2] One has to assume by Newton's third law that the same is true of tires. Tires and roads are made of petroleum-based materials, i.e., they produce microplastics. This means a car twice as heavy (e.g. EVs vs ICE cars in the same form factor) produces sixteen times as much particulate matter. This also means that typical cars emit a minimum of four million times as much particulate as bicycles. E-bikes emit 10 times as much particulate as bicycles.

Microplastics cling to everything, that's just the nature of particulate. So they follow you everywhere.

Couldn't they just detect the controller used, and make rooms that only allow people using official controllers for example? And rooms allowing any controller, so that people who want to use a modded controller can still have their fun. Fun is the main point after all.

This is obviously possible since they're able to ban unofficial peripherals
Unfortunately, the captcha is a deal breaker for anyone who is running APIs instead of regular, boring, human-accessible websites.

We can barely tell humans and robots apart, and have no idea how to tell good robots from bad robots.
Also leaving aside this post, solidrun's honeycomb boards are a mini itx form factor that is ARM SystemReady. You can run windows on arm on it, and it has UEFI if you want that, meaning no need for a BSP. Have booted several Linux distributions on it.

It's limited ports wise (has a single nvme slot, but a ton of networking) and if you want to use it for a desktop you need to replace the noisy fan that comes with it. But I can actually be done.

It's the only board I'm aware of though.
> I will never understand how a website/app with such a user-hostile interface can continue to thrive.

It's quite simple. You are not the customer; you are the product. The UI/UX for marketers is quite polished. The UI/UX for the users is as twisted as it needs to be to keep you around. It's like giving your dog one of those bowls that forces them to eat slower.
On language, in Britain there was (and still is to an extent) a whole host of words that would mark you as 'non-U' (aspirant middle class) rather than 'U' (upper class).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_and_non-U_English

It is still evident today if you know or interact with any truly upper-class people. There are still variations in the names for some things which persist even now.
unions are a bit like political parties: the basic ideas of collaboration and joint action are sound, but the unintended consequence of creating an organization is that the organization has a will of its own (blame "leaders").

it's no surprise that members and nonmembers alike tend to hate both kinds of organizations.
In addition, YouTube doesn't remove the ads that are baked into the video stream itself.

At the end of the day, you are paying 10 USD+ per month for an "ad-free experience", and still get ads because YouTube doesn't keep its promises.

And there is no excuse for that, content creators could mark when sponsored segments are starting and ending, and YouTube could skip them.
Guess people have a natural aversion to paying for someone else to not do something. It kind of makes sense.

I mean arguably you're not even paying them to not do something, you're paying them to make it easier for you to not do something, and to not complain when you refrain from doing so.

The web is weird when you try to insist on the original meaning of 'user-agent'.
The past 5 years in personal computing has been surreal. After years of Intel dominating and stagnating the desktop and laptop market, competition from AMD (Ryzen) and subsequently Apple (Apple Silicon) has been a real treat for consumer. After years of Apple squarely beating the shit out of Qualcomm and years of Qualcomm not giving a shit due to its Android monopoly, competition from MediaTek (Dimensity) forced them to up their game. Now Apple is setting the standard for laptop performance, AMD is reviving the Windows laptop scene, Qualcomm is catching up to Apple CPU, outperforming its GPU, and realizing the Windows ARM dream. Exciting, exciting times ahead.
I'm with you. My personal desire is for a Japanese body-on-frame truck with a 6' bed, two doors, jump seats/a small back seat (but no third/rear door(s)), some kind of 4wd, that can tow 5000+ lbs.

Perhaps because the workers feel that their work benefits and compensation as negotiated with Tesla directly are good and would not benefit from introducing the union into that negotiation? You may disagree but it’s not like it’s a completely inconceivable notion (in my opinion)

Hey could you show me an example or two of a pro-hamas rally that has happened on a college campus recently?

I've been going to pro-palestine rallies because they're experiencing a genocide funded and supplied by my tax money, so I kind of consider protesting against it a right and obligation of mine. Haven't seen much mention of hamas at them though but maybe I'm not at the right ones.

You could also stand to interrogate a little more the connection between poverty in "the hood" and the global struggle against colonialism. American black people and palestinians have a long history of mutual solidarity. Aren't you curious about why?
The defund the police point here is really weak. The author is taking a pretty small difference across very coarsely divided economic categories, and then ascribing the difference to their pet theory, without any effort to address the myriad other candidate hypotheses for why this difference would exist.

And to look at a “100k and up” bracket and say “oh, well they can afford to live in gated communities and hire private security” is just absurd. No, the vast majority of that bracket cannot.
> I'd love to pay for YouTube but they insist on bundling it with YouTube Music and I already pay for Spotify.

This is kind of a weird way to think about it. Regardless of what's packaged with it, it's either worth the money for your use or it's not.

> It's £12.99/month. ... I'd probably pay half that for ad-free YouTube.

That makes more sense. For me, it's worth it, but YouTube is my primary video entertainment source.
The biggest advantage of a truck bed is the separation of the truck bed from the cab. I can haul mulch, or the nasty rotting wood from an old hot tub in the bed without getting the rest of the vehicle gross. Another advantage is unbounded height constraints, I recently got a heat pump water heater for my house and they recommend keeping them vertical because of the compressor. So I was able to strap it upright in the bed which isn't possible in an SUV.

Sure you can haul a lot of stuff in a mini van or SUV but largely you run the risk of ruining the interior which I would prefer not to do in my vehicles.
That’s defined in the document
It sounds like you're talking about an aristocracy, and the quote even uses that word, so I wonder: do you think the aristocracy is responsible for most of the progress in the world?

I'd argue rather that, historically, progress has generally involved removing or disempowering the aristocracy.
