I live here and I've traveled to all over Latin America. I have a _much_ better clue of what I'm talking about. There is hardly a middle class in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The mean standard of living in Chile is similar but with no less middle class, more rich, and more poor.

Now the middle class in this country will get to see to what extend their sustenance was being managed through wealth transfers.

If it's a FreeBSD VPS you're after, I'd suggest you give UpCloud a chance. I'm currently running a few FreeBSD VPSs on UpCloud and I have not run into any issues. It's kinda great!

A. Huge thanks for all involved in FreeBSD.

It's amazing how polished, supported and performant it is for the relative size of the team involved.

B. Please consider donating.

C. I have much love for FreeBSD and as such, these are things I hope get address in the next major version (15.0)

- turning all internet facing services (except ssh) off, by default. OpenBSD does this.

- move all non-core things out of the base, like sendmail (now DMA, what a nice import from DFly btw)

- the base should only have one way to do things (don’t have 3 different firewalls in base like today)

- better defaults, https://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.html

- something like io-uring, (async-sendfile is similar but that’s only for sendfile)

Thank you again for an amazing OS.

EDIT: I updated the first bullet of C for more clarity.

>So at buy time, people don't prefer repairability very high, which is some uncertain future cost. Which is why they make the short term decision to buy the cheaper sexier phone. Later on, when the phone starts to break down, they start caring about it a lot more.

You can make the same argument for cars, yet reliable japanese cars won out. Smartphones have been around for 15 years now? I think that's long enough for people to figure out how much repairs they need.

> We know the latter is true because consumer group advocacy is determined by asking people what they want.

And yet their purchasing decisions don't line up with what their survey replies are, by and large. It's not because of lack of choice, repairable phones exist, and have existed for a while now. Fairphone is on its 6th iteration now? Yet its uptake is lackluster. Between stated preferences and revealed preferences, I'm going with the latter.

>Another tactic phone manufacturers employ is that they don't talk about repairability anywhere, so most consumers don't even know phones are repairable. They think you just have to buy a new phone.

If you think consumers can't be bothered to do a "[phone name] repairability" search (despite the fact that they care about such a thing, as you claim above), and need to have the info spoon fed to them by the manufacturers, then maybe they don't really care about it?

> It's like if your bowl broke, you would just go and buy a new one because you believe bowls cannot be repaired. But if you belonged in the right area/tradition of japan, you would just take the pieces of the bowl and join them together [2].

Of course, in our modern economy, it makes little sense to fix broken bowls. They can be manufactured so cheaply and fixing it manually taxes so much time/materials that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Something similar applies to phones, only that replacing a phone also comes with the additional benefit that it has a faster cpu + more memory + better camera. You don't get any of that by making phones repairable.

Apple acquired the team who made their in-house chips, PA Semi, back in 2008! Took quite a while to get good enough at it to go toe to toe with Intel and AMD. Even though they were able to license cores and designs.

[edit] Similarly, they acquired the modem business from Intel in 2019 (along with 2200 employees) so 'from scratch' may be a touch strong. [1]

The problem is is the narrow-body "commuter" aircraft, which often only have enough overhead space for about 3/4 of all seats. Since most people have a carryon that needs overhead space, they often run out, and need to gatecheck your carry on.

The issue is that people don't like this, since it means more of a delay at the destination.

Also some airlines will through gate-check the bag, printing a full barcoded tag tied to your ticket, like all other checked begs. Other airlines, most notably American's regional carriers will instead "valet check" the bag, which means a little red tag is added that is not tied to you in any way, and at the destination they are supposed to separate out those bags, and hand them back on the jetbridge.

This means you will miss any connection that does not exceed the minimum connection time at the airport by a solid 10 minutes. Even worse is what happens if the baggage handler fails to notice the red tag. Then one of 3 things will happen:

1. It will get spit out at baggage claim. (I've had this happen once, albeit on a flight with no possible conections, so the bags skipped the sorting step and went straight to baggage claim.)

2. The bag reaches bag sorting, and because it does not have a proper checked tag with barcode will eventually get spit out for manual processing. An airport employee notices the red "American valet checked" tag, and delivers it to the American baggage office, where you can try to reclaim it with the little stub that you hopefully remembered to remove from the tag.

3. The little red tag got ripped off at some point in the process. If this happens you probably won't get your bag back. If the employee who checks unclaimed bags for identification actually does their job, you might get it back (assuming you have filled out the address card on your luggage), but sadly in practice that almost seems to the the exception instead of the rule.

Anyone watched Mad Men where Don convinced the British guy to fire all the main partners so they can be free, which gets the British guy fired, and then all 4 main characters are free to start their own company? Could this be the explanation?
> Yes, this is why I advocate for those impacted by the shelter in place orders to sue the federal government for 5A violations.

Expecting common workers to SUE THE GOVERNMENT for lost wages is patently fucking absurd.

> I don't necessarily disagree with your opinion regarding general transmission (though unless the entirety of the world self isolated for 14 days we were guaranteed to hit endemic status). But when the government shuts things down for that line of thinking, it is doing so for the good of the public's health. And we have 5A which says they owe people money. A lot of money!

Again, this is conflating "confiscated private property" with "prevented potential revenue from being prohibited from conducting business." Even in the most charitable terms these are not the same thing for good reason.

Add to it, where does this stop? If the city shuts you down for health code violations, is that also pursuant under the fifth? If a crime is committed near your business and the police have to shut down the road, is that also? If the government fails to act on climate change and your business is flooded out in the rising oceans, how about that?

And for how long? If it's the first example that could be however long until they can inspect your remodeled/cleaned premises. If it's the second, it could be anywhere from an hour to several weeks depending what happened. If it's the second one, it might be for eternity. Are we calculating lost business revenue to your likely age of retirement then?

This whole thing is a bottomless pit of litigation and legal gray areas.

> Apart from considering folk rational, even when they fall for misimformation, I also acknowledge that the federal government had nowhere near enough funds to compensate everyone for sheltering in place,

Do you have evidence for that? Because we pumped about three trillion additional into the economy and nothing seems to have really happened.

> and therefore believe it is preferable to allow folks to make their own rosk assessments, despite knowing this outcome would lead to more loss of life.

Yeah I don't believe that at all. We curb individual liberty literally all of the time, in all sorts of ways, at all times and at a variety of scales because everyone having their own perfect bubble of autonomy leads to an utterly unmanageable society at scale. You don't have the freedom to yell fire in a crowded theater, you don't have the freedom to drive on the left side of the road, you don't have the freedom to build a 200 story skyscraper on your suburban lot, etc. etc. etc.

This hyper individualistic libertarian fantasy is just that: a fantasy.

Yes, they are unreliable. But unreliable how ? How does this unreliability manifest ?

Many different things are unreliable. Even traditional software can be unreliable. But imposing the kind of unreliability that traditional software brings to neural networks will lead to output or behavior that to you would be confusing, unintuitive and unpredictable.

Introducing "deception" to this discussion allows for a predictive model of how this unreliability manifests, where you may expect it and so on.

This model introduced by "deception" as it turns out is far more predictive than a "computer bug" model.

Could it also introduce some ideas that may not square exactly with reality? Yes but it's certainly better than the alternative.

>but to my ear it sounds like it encourages people to look at these systems as "cunning" or "threatening" organisms instead of as practical and approachable technologies.

The idea is that the previous look will be better for approaching how to decide to deal with Agents you spin up with LLMs than the latter.

"No, because Italians are white and white people can't experience discrimination".

That is an actual response I've heard more than once.

To be fair, I agree with the "cultural appropriation folks" when they correctly point out that sometimes people intentionally mock other cultures and that's a dick thing to do. But conflating mockery and insult with an appreciation of other cultures is not helpful, and that's what they do in practice.

I'm a Spaniard and when I watch a Japanese person practicing flamenco, I feel flattered, not insulted.

My point is that I did not have the luxury of dropping out of school to try my hand at the tech startup thing. If I came home and told my Dad I abandoned school - for anything - he would have thrown me out the 3rd-floor window.

People like Altman could take risks, fail, try again, until they walked into something that worked. This is a common thread almost among all of the tech personalities - Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg, Musk. None of them ever risked living in a cardboard box in case their bets did not pay off.

I don't get the dude, at all. He's weird, and impulsive. And makes mistakes that I would never make, and yet he leads teams that build things that other teams led by other brilliant people failed to build before.

I will never understand it.

I just know that in my past-life working with Air Force space command they all laughed at him when he first said he was going to have vertically landing rockets with SpaceX. The execs at GM who cancelled the EV1 all laughed at him with Tesla. Everyone on here was positive that Twitter would crash under its own weight when he nuked 80% of the staff.

I've been a daily user of Twitter since 2008.

It's glitchy from time to time, and I notice lags on my notifications. And yet it also hosts video, has a bunch of new features that I mostly like, and the "Spaces" functionality is actually pretty damned good after being total garbage when it first launched. From a feature standpoint, it's vastly better than it was before he massively overpaid for it. And yeah, there are nazis on there that weren't there before. I almost never see them, but when I do, I mute them.

So basically, it's like how the internet had always been. The nazis suck, but they're a cost I pay to not have posts like "The bat-borne coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan might have something to do with the bat-borne coronavirus lab in Wuhan" get censored.

My brother was a DoorDash driver and a lot of his friends were and they all said that they regularly skipped orders with $0 tips because it meant they made nothing on them.

This sounds like the whole idea is just broken. No one is making any money, including DoorDash (I at least assume they're not profitable), and the only money to be made in any of this is the idea of a "tip" which effectively holds your order hostage unless you pay up some unspecified amount. All so you can have a lukewarm burger delivered to your door. Oh, and if you get ghosted, you could have already eaten your hot food by the time you get it sorted, had you just gone and picked it up yourself.

I dunno, does this sound like something a rational person would participate in? ("...he asked rhetorically.")

I wish we could all just admit that this is a capital run, rather than some moralistic crusade.

The employees want to get their big payday, so will follow Altman wherever he goes. Which is the smart thing to do anyway as he runs half the valley. The public discourse in which Sam is the hero is further cemented by the tech ecosystem, which nowadays is circling around AI. Those in the "OpenAI wrapper" game.

Nobody has any interest in safety, openness, what AI does for humanity. It's greed all the way down. Siding with the likely winner. Which is rational self-interest, not some "higher cause".

I'm not saying to delay the report. I'm saying to not headline the size of the leak unless it has some sort of significance. If the severity is later known report that as news.

> Essentially all of VC, tech, founder, financial Twitter united to condemn the board

On HN, while it's def the minority, I am seeing some pro-board positions.

On Twitter, I agree with the article, I see almost universally con-board positions.

I wonder if the promotion of blue checkmark responses is distorting, perhaps significantly. When the reception to news is news itself, does it make sense to use a pay-for-visibilty listing as a source?

I always question if fuel cell / electric is really better than just burning the hydrogen in an engine.

We worked on an electric compressor motor for a fuel cell vehicle project once and it took more than one kilowatt (maybe 2 or 3 I don't recall) to run the compressor. An EV can do highway driving at a few KW so that seemed really inefficient. Aircraft run at higher continuous power so maybe it makes more sense, but I still wonder.
Brooks wrote that it was quadratic, so that seems to be an error in the summary.
Agreed, there are a ton of people that should have exercised more caution and care. But it is first and foremost the board's actions that have brought OpenAI to the edge of the abyss and that wasn't on the table a month ago. That that can have consequences for the parties that caused it seems to me to be above question, after all, you don't become board members of a non-profit governing an entity worth billions just to piss it all down the drain and pretend that was just fine.

I totally understand that you can't get outraged over it, neither am I (I've played with ChatGPT but it's nowhere near solid enough for my taste and I don't know anybody working there and don't particularly like either Altman or Microsoft). But I don't quite understand why people seem to think that because this is a non-profit (which to me always seemed to be a fig-leaf to pretend to regulators and governments that they had oversight) anything goes. Not in the world that I live in, you take your board member duties seriously or it is better if you aren't a board member at all.
>People have decided they've reserved the right to rock bottom fares and simultaneous complaints about quality of service.

That's not really the case. Airline prices are quite detached from the quality of service. They are more a function of what the airline can get away with in the moment (i.e., surge pricing based on demand). If airline prices were always $100 for low cost, and $200 for frills included, that would be a fine trade. But you will pay anywhere from 100-1000 based on demand irrespective of frills or no frills.
