That is the law in the entire US. You have to receive a normal minimum wage if your tips don't bring you to that level on the lower tip worker's wage.

The funny thing is that the guy from my original comment actually was prepared, he took the fight to the cat and lost in a pretty convincing way.

> Every position is hire-able if the you pay for it.

I completely disagree with this. I have a friend who recently turned down a job that would have been a significant pay increase because he didn't like the sound of the working conditions (which would have also included relocation to a new place).

Many of the times that I recall when friends have left their jobs, the reason they left is not necessarily because they weren't being paid enough, but because they became tired of their job, or something changed at their employer that made working there less tolerable.

This is a big thing for one area I'm interested in - golf simulation.

Currently playing in a golf simulator has a bit of a post-apocalyptian vibe. The birds are cheeping, the grass is rustling, the game play is realistic, but there's not a human to be seen. Just so different from the smacktalking of a real round, or the crowd noise at a big game.

It's begging for some LLM-fuelled banter to be added.
Well done, been waiting for a moment like this. Will give it a try!
This is only sometimes true. Cases like opening hours and daily batch processing rely on local time. Persisting the values in UTC mean best case you are wrong half of the year and worst case all of it.
From what's been said a plausible explanation could be the sama was being courted by saudi investors, incl vision fund, to make AI silicon, for 100 billion dollars, and wasn't upfront with the board.
Who knows, total speculation, but definitely grounds for dismissal. Of course he was probably a managed asset, and who knows what kind of complexity is behind the scenes. OpenAI has a very valuable product. Not supporting any ideology here, but the Russian president said that whomever controls AI controls the world. Well, anyway, AI will be a useful tool for technological advancement. It can definitely solve problems.

EDIT: meaning it's important that the AI isn't given problems whose solution harms beings, at all, let alone war- not even by carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

Introvert and HSP software engineer here. Not only working from home comes naturally for me but I have to say that since I started WFH 15 years ago, I've been a top performer in most of the teams I worked for (and that includes some teams where I was the only remote worker). I don't see any reason why I should work from an office at this point in my career and it actually makes little sense to me why some companies are losing top performers just to enforce some silly back to the office rules. I guess they just promoted the wrong people :)
He’s writing software for free. Providing full support for hundreds of issues is beyond reasonable. If there’s a breaking bug, it’s understandable if he will investigate, but nobody has time to investigate every single request. I’ve had my fair share of issues on my own projects and some people are too lazy to diagnose their own issues.
Yeah, I can do better. How about this: I live in a country where I don’t speak the native language. All the ads I see are in the native language. I am not interested in these ads. In fact, when I do see the YouTube ads on my phone, I hate these brands because that is all I see, the same damn commercials over and over again, that I can’t understand much less determine if the brand is for a car, energy, or something totally unrelated to whatever story just unfolded on my screen (probably soap, but honestly, it’s a total guess).

So, I don’t watch YouTube on my phone any more. I will do whatever it takes to never, ever get ear raped by those commercials, ever again.

And no, even if they go so far to put it in the stream itself, I will hook it up as an input to MythTV and have it remove the commercials for me, just like it does on regular tv. I’ll never see them, I don’t consent to seeing them, and if you disagree, I’ll happily buy some ad space so you can stare at my shiny ass for 30s every 6 minutes.

> Poverty is the default. For almost all of human history we were dirt poor.

I don't know where you get this absurd idea. For many millennia we were commoning, herding, living in symbiosis with game- and fruit-bearing wildernesses, etc. It's not since the enclosure of the commons that subsistence outside employment has been made, largely, illegal.

For almost all of human history we have been wealthy and free. What we now recognize as "poverty" is induced by the holders of Capital in order to maintain a pool of vulnerable workers obliged to cater. We use military might and policing to undermine economic and political power in the colonies, ensuring we they remain desperate enough to take a bad deal. This isn't free market economics, this is blackmail, extortion, racketeering.

If you want to zoom in on a single example and say, "ah, well, this youngster found a pretty flower and smelled it, how can you begrudge him a sniff?" while ignoring the churning, smoke-filled skies above, I suppose it will help you sleep at night, but I'm not fooled.

Poverty is a mugging.
If Jack only produces $8/hr worth of value through his labor, and the government says employers must pay Jack $10/hr or more, Jack won't be able to get a job.

Minimum wage laws encourage employers to trim the least productive workers from their payroll. The least productive workers are disproportionately the poorly educated, those suffering from health conditions, etc. Minimum wage laws hurt those who are least able to advocate for themselves.

Solar definitely does drop to zero every night and no, we don't have the connectivity, or the land-mass, to have sunshine somewhere all the time. Russia does...but well, Russia.

There is not "literally always wind". And we've had several days of "Dunkelflaute" in Germany per year now, much higher than anyone predicted.

Renewable advocates like to average over time, so having too much energy at some point in time (which makes the energy worthless and prices go negative, as in "please stop feeding energy into the grid, it's harmful!!") and having too little at other times averages out. As my statistics professor used to joke: if your left leg is standing in liquid nitrogen and your right leg in boiling fat, you are enjoying a nearly perfect mean temperature. Variance matters.

And so the real world does not work the way renewable advocates would like, and no, we don't have nearly the storage to make that work, nor a credible way to create such storage at remotely affordable prices, never mind the horrific environmental impact of that much battery production.

> There's enough countries out there that have been using renewables consistently for years

Nope. One example that is frequently cited is Denmark, but they themselves say that this is only possible because they are a tiny country with lots of neighbours with reliable electricity supply from whom they can purchase when they need it. They also have more interconnect with those neighbouring countries than typical total demand. This is not a model for other countries, particularly not for larger countries.

> The sun is always shining somewhere.

This is simply not true.

> For Germany in particular it was a mistake to move away from nuclear

Absolutely. Probably the biggest political mistake of the after-war period.
Information Theory: From Coding to Learning: 2022 (book draft)
The supply for labor depends on the marginal benefits versus the marginal costs. If leisure gets cheaper, taxes go up, or jobs get worse, people on the margin will choose to work fewer hours or exit the workforce. There’s nothing wrong about this! It’s how a free market is supposed to work.

Unfortunately, in our capitalist system, people are demonized for choosing to work less or not at all. It’s viewed as immoral not to work, because the institutions view humans as cattle that must be milked to the maximum. I expect new policies will be created beyond the ones already in place to force people to work. We should resist this, so I support the sentiment of the blogpost even though it’s misleading on a factual basis.
How can you not make money, especially if you want to be in the business of making and selling chips? If you have that kind of $ you had better be getting returns. In fact, the more $ you have, the easier it should be to get returns. Such is capitalism. Main risk is on technical and execution, tough to bootstrap a chip maker.
> I’m judging the companies providing the “distasteful” options.

To restate my actual argument, since you haven't really responded to it: what work would you have very poor people do instead? There are other options, but are those options actually better? And how would you or I know?

It seems a little insulting to presume that you know their lives and their employment options better than they do, and should choose in their stead. But that's exactly what people are doing when they put public pressure on these companies to withdraw unseemly-looking options.
Interestingly, this correlates with fraud in journalism as well. One common technique is that there's a set of events that could be written about / published, but they choose to only write about the events that positively promotes their ideology, while the events that might negatively impact their ideology are ignored and not shared to the world. It's one of the ways that a news organization can "lie" without ever actually telling a lie. By painting a picture of the world using selectively chosen data based on a bias/agenda, rather than a picture of the world that is based on all available data.

I don't know about the others, but Greece tends to be a transit country, not a final destination. It does get immigrants, but those interested in crime tend to migrate to higher-GDP countries. I can see the same trend in my country too. The people coming here, for now, are very hardworking and law-abiding, whereas those interested in crime tend to migrate, our natives included, too.

It's good to know that immigrants, no matter the nationality, ethnicity, or religion, follow a normal distribution. Some of them are criminals or bigots, whereas most of them are just normal people trying to find work and raise a family.

Europe needs immigrants, it would be foolish to close borders. But we need to be tougher on crime, too. Immigrants that don't quickly adopt our laws and liberal values should be expelled because otherwise, the crime rate goes up, then far-right parties take over. And what happens next in such scenarios is that the law-abiding immigrants suffer, actually.
If you give me the search-fu for vector images, I'll do that next time I'm tempted.

Good for you ! You have no specific reason to really want to WFH, and that's great, probably a strong asset to get hired.

Some people will also have no specific reason to want to live alone and can join dormitories or share houses. Some don't even need a stable home and can join military camps etc.

We all have different thresholds of what we want or can deal with in our lives.
I believe the recent-ish reactions against the chore of maintaining the most lower level of unit tests, is because with years and experience we might be going through an industry tendency where we collectively learn that those chores are not worth it.

100% code coverage is a red herring.

If you're in essence testing things that are part of the private implementation, only through indirect second effects of the public surface... then I'd say you went too far.

What you want to do is to know that the system functions as it should. "I might miss a low-level bug that is only manifested under very specific conditions." means to me that there's a whole-system condition that it's possible to occur and thus should be added to the higher level tests.

Not that lower level unit tests are not useful, but I'd say only for intricate and isolated pieces of code that are difficult to verify. Otherwise, most software is a changing entity because we tend to not know what we actually want out of it, thus its lower level details tend to evolve a lot over time, and we shouldn't have two implementations of it (first one the code itself, second one a myriad tiny tests tightly coupled to the former)
The situations you're describing should be prevented by a double blind trial - they're actually exactly what a double blind is meant to prevent.
> But not the same level of anxiety about “what if I don’t exist, or my species or bloodline” doesn’t go on.

To some extent, sure. But I think some of this is us habituating to pets who were sterilized prior to puberty. In post-pubertal animals the drives to have and rear children are pretty strong.
The reductionist reply to this is that the employment offer didn't meet your friend's threshold for "pays enough". Theoretically, if they offered your friend $1,000,000 USD per year, he would have accepted the job. The economic viability of that pay is a different topic.

At least any company trying to sell a product this is going to be an issue with operations costs.

Also this gets into the halting problem. How many resources do you expend on finding an answer? In a human issues will typically come up like we have to go pee, or eat, or something outside our body interrupts us. For an AI, how much time should it spend? Do we want to wake up one day finding our data centers running at full tilt?

This said, there have been some attempts at working on agent based systems that reach out for answers from multiple places and pool the data then run things like chain of thought on that data pool.

I have a collection of retro stuff from my childhood - an XT, a 386DX-40, Pentium-133, a bunch of hard drives, motherboards, video and sound cards, and so on... I really love all this retro stuff. But one night on eBay I've stumbled upon the modem I've had - the MultiTech 28.8k. I didn't buy it.
Buying an external US Robotics 56k modem allowed me to get online with RedHat 8 (boxset purchased from Amazon, IIRC), as the PC I had contained a PCI Win-modem with no compatible Linux drivers. It was a friend at school who introduced me to Linux.

> I think I understand what you're saying, but this has always been simply called "capitalism".

Perhaps. But just because it's called that doesn't mean it is that. In fact, even crony capitalism is kinda a joke because it's such a perversion it's not even close to capitalism. Manipulation is the antithesis of free markets. Along the same lines, bails outs by defintion don't mean capitalism is a more successful paradigm. That just doesn't make sense.

My favorite way to reframe shameless newspeak is this: If your pet barked, would you still call it a cat? Of course not? So when there isn't a free market for miles, that's not capitalism.

My fav thing would be to see more co-ops. There's no reason why the more workers can't own a piece of the action.
For context, this is the drug being discussed:

> Depo-Provera is a well-known brand name for medroxyprogesterone acetate, a contraceptive injection that contains the hormone progestin. Depo-Provera is given as an injection every three months. Depo-Provera typically suppresses ovulation, keeping your ovaries from releasing an egg. It also thickens cervical mucus to keep sperm from reaching the egg.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/depo-provera/abo...

Given this is a temporary acting drug, and the term 'sterilization' typically refers to at least partially irreversible surgical interventions, the headline is quite misleading and better characterized as "Forced contraception" or - given the available details - "Giving contraception without informed consent"
It's the same with jobs in most areas that aren't big cities or tech hubs; it's a huge pain in the ass to switch jobs if you aren't in a super high demand field. Often requiring a substantial uprooting and move.

I was a manager, at a very cheap company that paid "competitive" wages (i.e., below market).

I had to work quite hard to make the team a pleasure to work at.

It seemed to have worked. When they finally rolled up US engineering, 27 years after I joined, the employee with the least tenure had a decade.

These weren't losers. They were highly experienced C++ image processing pipeline engineers.

I realized I had just assumed that electric buses were significantly heavier than ICE buses. They can be much heavier; however, using an aluminum frame or smaller batteries (if you don't need the range), can bring the weight down considerably. It's hard to get exact weights because the weight varies by configuration.

This was definitely when tech support could still be fun. We didn't have tiers or scripts or anything, just a handful of people on shift answering calls. You kind of loved when you got one like this when the customer calling in also had a good attitude about it. Probably because you knew the call was going to eat up at least a quarter of your shift, and you got to think a little. It sure beat the 10th time that day you were walking someone through uninstalling and reinstalling TCP/IP on Win95/98/ME.

All these years later I really do still have anxiety when the phone rings, though. I have an irrational fear of picking up even when it's, like, my dad, or picking up the phone and having to call a business to ask a question or something.

Do you happen to remember what sort of system you had that still had an 8250 but extended into the >14.4kbps era? Was this just a super old machine in the mid 1990's, or something in the 486+ range and the motherboard manufacturer had a lot of late 80's chip stock?
