> I personally think that a Ukrainian NATO membership is not worth hundred thousands of dead and wounded, millions of refuges and a destroyed country, but others obviously disagree.

Well, it has been for the Ukrainians to decide. They have fought like hell to avoid being conquered by a foreign dictator that would destroy their country, their culture and the rape, torture and murder their own people.

> Which threats? Putin already decided that Ukrainian NATO membership is so important that he is willing to go to war over the issue if there is no political solution, he certainly expected sanctions and support from the West.

Which threats? I assure you that in the run-up to February 2022, there were some very serious phone calls and meetings between the USA State Department and the Russian Foreign Ministry. Just because that wasn't reported on the news doesn't mean it didn't happen. Often we try to find solutions to problems without it being a public announcement.
I don't exactly remember because it was awhile ago when I exported all my notes and I no longer have an account to check. I remember I had to google how to do it, but once I found out how to do it, it was very easy. There was just a button or link somewhere (maybe under account settings?) that allowed me to download everything as a zip file. Oh, and I remember I had to do it on the desktop website and not on a mobile device.
I will say that my company did have an engineer that could write proper lock-free algorithms. Unfortunately, they were completely unable to retain him and he didn’t help matters.
Genuinely curios why people are so into AoC ... Feels leetcode-y
No, but they care about their company and their stock price. And the collapse of commercial real estate, especially in large cities, is an economic tsunami so big that it's terrifying. Go to downtown SF and walk around. It's a ghost town. When is it coming back? What if the answer is not for a very long time. And it's not just the big cities, even in smaller towns, law offices, etc. are still sitting empty since the pandemic. It's a huge, huge problem.

And when that impact hits, it will affect every business.

Those executives and many others know that. They're standing on the beach with the water out, knowing what's coming but helpless to stop it. But they're trying. Of course they're trying.
I (generally) haven't heard people saying it's impossible, but it absolutely adds friction.

A lot of banks offer those nowadays. Wise has virtual cards and Revolut even has single-use cards, just to mention the most popular ones.
This is what I did and then was confused why everyone else I talked to thought it was a hard problem.
It kinda makes sense to me. The people who are most likely to have a high citation count are those who value making publications. Those who treat publications are the primary goal are probably those most likely to take an "ends justify the means" approach to publishing. (That's not to say all those who value publication count are unethical, just that the unethical group is more likely a subset of those whose primary metric is publication count).

Goodhart's Law says: "When the measure becomes the target, it ceases to be a good measure." When the target is "publication or citation count" rather than "meaningful research or the pursuit of truth" things can get weird.
"So Long Without You" was the closest I got from them.

Here is a beautiful 2 minute clip demonstrating this point and Eliza itself:

Before Siri and Alexa, there was ELIZA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMK9AphfLco

ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program created from 1964 to 1966 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum. Created to demonstrate the superficiality of communication between man and machine, Eliza simulated conversation by using a 'pattern matching' and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no built in framework for contextualising events.
What about all the funding that's not done at a national level? There's still a large amount of research funding that is private.
I like rooting for an underdog. We use GitLab instead of GitHub. Partly for that, and partly because the CEO saw I mentioned a problem here, and helped fix it.

> And if you've heard the talks and economic theories, then you didn't fully grasp them, or you listened to the wrong people. It's hard for me to imagine that you've ever watched a full Michael Saylor interview.

"Repeat the experiment until you get a different result."

> I now have my entire net worth stored in it

Again, not really relevant to our conversation, but to anyone else reading, this is why you're never going to convince someone in this position by argument or talking online, the best you can do is publicly demonstrate that the arguments are worthless for other people.

Someone who has their entire net worth invested into a coin is never going to be swayed by technical arguments about how it works or by economic arguments, or really by anything. We could talk about the fact that the lightning network also has privacy problems, we could talk about the misconceptions here about how mining works and how the underlying technology for verifying transactions works, but it's not going to change anything.. There is no way to sway someone in that position because "I have my entire net worth in something that is a failed experiment" is going to be resisted by every single emotional neuron in the brain.

So the defense becomes "you just need to spend more time looking, if you spent more time you'd see I'm right, if you don't believe I'm right, it just means you haven't repeated the experiment enough times until it yielded the result I want."

Because it has to, the brain has to react that way. I don't mean this as an insult, if I was in the same position I would act the exact same way because that's just how human brains work, and I would be no exception. Once you invest into something on that scale, it is extremely difficult not to have blind faith in it.

I'm not sure it's that simple. I've been effectively remote for a long time and have zero interest in going into an office for the most part. (Though I'd do it more if it were easy, I'm a 2 hour commute to the only office it makes any sense for me to go into.)

Anecdotally, I hear it's more younger employees who like going into an office for the social interaction.
> In the Turing test—which Turing himself originally called the “imitation game“—human participants conduct a conversation with unknown users to determine if they’re talking to a human or a computer.

No. They talk to A and B, one of which is a computer, the other a human to determine who is who.
Very few business environments are remote though. Almost every one is hybrid, practically all of them if you consider the ones that were in-person or hybrid before the pandemic. Looking at the comments in this thread, too many people seem to be arguing against a "mandatory remote work" strawman.

If you truly need an in-person job or employee, you can find one.

It undeniably takes more effort for me to reach out via Slack than it does for me to swing by a cubicle. Maybe I have gotten lucky with my experience, but I plan on continuing to mentor new hires.

You cannot see these kinds of very rare side effects in typical phase III trials. Those trials are already pretty large for vaccines, but even then they're simply not powerful enough to detect very rare events. Nothing would have changed here with the normal vaccination approval process, those side effects would not have been detected there either. That's why side effects are monitored after approval of the vaccines as well, because then you have the large numbers you need to detect very rare events.

I wouldn’t say you have to cater to middle management instead of the end user. You just can if you want to. Of course you need to consider what middle management needs, since they’re paying you, but there is usually room for craftsmanship to bring a truly great UX to the end user. Most software engineers are lazy and lack a true sense of craft, so they usually skip building a great UX when it’s not a requirement.

Ask HN: Docker Swarm silently abandoned, what can I do?
For our small startup, I bet on Docker Swarm (mode) after previously being burned by the complexity of maintaining a K8s cluster properly. Swarm was initially a pleasant and logical progression from compose files, but has since bitten us repeatedly: Things that are downright broken, fail inexplicably, or behave differently than documented - if documented at all.

In the various repositories Docker Inc apparently likes to spread its code across, thousands of issues are open - some older than 2015. Maintainers that once commented don't even respond anymore, but seem to work on arbitrary other things. Reading about some kind of WASM runtime in the Docker daemon, or a redesigned Docker Desktop app, add insult to injury.

I have no clue what is going on inside that organisation, and more pressingly, if anyone actually still works on swarm mode. I suspect not, and this is scaring me.

Is there anyone out there in the same boat, or someone that jumped earlier? What did you do, what can we do?
It's true that if you just add up the minutes, then peripheral activities don't take up the majority of the time. But you also have to take into account the cost of context-switching. An hour-long meeting costs more than an hour of time because you have to ramp back up to speed afterwards. On average, this takes about 20 minutes. When you add in all of the distractions through the day -- meetings, people talking in the next cube, people stopping by for a "quick question", that sort of thing, that ramping-up can absorb a ton of time.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. Deno 1.38.4 was just released with a partial fix for the VSCode issue you mentioned. We're fixing the twisted issue too.

Day one part 2 was relatively rough. Things I learned from it: rust regex crate doesn't support look-ahead, rust onig crate is currently broken in many ways and shouldn't be used (the version in crates.io doesn't compile and the version on GitHub is failing tests and look-ahead isn't working). It was a very frustrating time for me. After 2 hours of troubleshooting the above I used the same approach in python and it took 2 minutes to write. So annoying.
There are lots of factors, and every work situation is different, but from my perspective in tech I think misery with work is largely a symptom of people's attitudes. Pay and working conditions are better than 90% (or more) of other jobs out there and you often don't even need a bachelors degree. If people outside big tech hubs knew the details of tech workers situations they might lose their mind.
That is how I understood the headline.
This sounds more like a problem with banks, to be honest.

Why the hell don't banks get their shit in order? And why am I paying an X% commission for that crap?
I think I’ve seen a way to expose this within the UI, maybe it was through an add on. If I find it later I’ll update my comment.

>instead, your motivation is to push through as many papers as possible.

I think this is an assumption that doesn't have to hold true in practice. Maybe it's biased by the 'publish or perish' paradigm that's pervaded academia, but there's no reason to replicate the same problem elsewhere.
Thanks!

Are you a fan of hobos?
Of course not. Turing's test isn't supposed to be quantified universally over examiners. The criterion is "does there exist a human examiner who can tell the difference between talking to a computer and the human".

I would argue that Turing's test has actually become less dead. It can now additionally be used to establish someone's qualifications to identify reasoned explanation. The computer isn't capable of engaging in it (yet), so being unable to tell if you're talking to a computer generally means that you are incapable of distinguishing bullshit from reasoning.
heh, I know right? I see all those comments shitting on ruby and rails, and it's like, yeah, I get it dude. They hate rails, but luckily nobody is forcing them to use it. The more choices the better. Some people hate dynamic types, some people hate static types. There's room for both, imo. It's not like it's a secret there are faster or more efficient stacks.

I guess they can't help themselves and need to make their position known. Personally, I love ruby, and rails is pretty good too.
I was to Seattle and coming from Mexico where most streets you just cross without cars stopping for you, I somehow felt more oppressed by cars in the US. Even when the crossing is active for you, you still have to compete with turning cars.

Also, unprotected left turns are just crazy dangerous.
The tech isn’t there for quick discussion, it’s a very UI/UX issue especially for current generation of video conferencing software, there is a huge layer between digital and physical. Hopefully AR can bridge some of that gap.

Even when we don't set out to brag, we still end up doing it often...

> The RTO/WFH struggle is clearly about money (what else could it be about in a corporate world?)

Oh, it's definitely not only about money, any more than the other "treat your employees well and you will provably make more money" things are.

It's about power, ego, and classism.

It's about an entire category of management that has no actual ability to manage people beyond eyeballing whether their butts are in seats.

It's about execs who can only feel good about that corner office when there's a whole floor of people in a cube farm to see that they have the corner office.

It's about avoiding ever having to question the assumption that the only reason regular plebeians ever actually do work is because they have the boss breathing down their necks every 5 seconds (and, of course, the ever-present threat of being fired and left destitute), because if people did start questioning it, they might realize it also disproves the assumptions underlying the most common objections to things like UBI. Which would shatter the upper class's power over the lower classes for good.

This is not to say that it's not about money, of course. The commercial real estate angle is a real one, for sure. But an awful lot of the assumptions that lead to calling for RTO have much less to do with money, and much more to do with maintaining a neofeudal power dynamic between bosses and workers.

This is why "HTML/CSS/JS isn't supposed to be used like that" is a weak argument. Browser features we take for granted now grew from developers popularising hacks that pushed the boundaries (usually in ways people complained about at the time) until official support was gradually built into the browser e.g. AJAX, responsive layouts, complex/flex/grid layouts, reactivity with proxies, JavaScript modules, desktop-like web UIs in general.

TypeScript, JSX, Tailwind and bundlers come to mind of current trends that get some strong negative reactions but could become more mainstream later.
> With standard Grid, Bootstrap is effectively legacy - you shouldn't really be using it at this point.

Bootstrap first adopted Flexbox for its grid system Bootstrap 4 (2018), and Bootstrap 5 (2021) added support for Grid. It's conservative about supporting new web standards, but I wouldn't personally think of it as a "legacy" framework.
It's more whimsical. There's a clear end with less pressure and an excited community to discuss with. At least that's what it's like for me (though I do also enjoy leetcode occasionally to be fair)
Thanks for the advice! I think it's worth trying it out. I have a couple of dozen machines that I want to migrate. I can migrate one of them to this as a test.
At least for me, it's like... infinitely more fun than leetcode. The problems are bite-sized enough that I can usually get something done in less than an hour (although usually there's at least a few in the mix that take a long time to finish). There's a lot of personality in the website and text of the events that add to the fun factor. I like how the problems are broken up into two phases and how the second phase often throws a wrench in my previous solution or forces me to learn some tricky thing to get by.
this is just meaningless ageism. you could just as easily argue that older people benefit more from WFH, since they're more likely to have nicer places to live that are further from the city centers.
The Turing Test was never anything but a thought experiment, developed when computers were in their infancy, and has been widely criticized by philosophers and AI researchers.

It should never have been taken as seriously as it has, just as Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics should never have been taken seriously. Both presuppose rigidly and objectively defined values for, respectively, self-awareness and morality, where none exist. If anything they reveal more about human intellectual bias, popular cultural assumptions (and possibly hubris) than they do anything about AI.

The goalposts must be moved because we still don't even know what the nature of the game is.
lol...of course it does..
Literally the first sentence of the article:

Drone delivery of automated defibrillators compared with ambulance arrival
Subtitle: "One could make the argument that, actually, American workers are happier than they’ve been in decades."

So the writer chooses to start out right away with the obvious fallacy that people can't be both happier than in decades and also miserable.

A. They may be gate-keeping the word "miserable" to omit the mundane misery of working for a living at something you don't love (or at least don't 40-hours-a-week love).

B. It's very hard to empirically measure "how happy are US workers". Surveys are useless (people have all sorts of reasons for responding in a way that doesn't communicate their true feelings), and second-order indicators are fuzzy. This ambiguity also makes it very easy to get the answer you want.

C. Many people right now are obviously miserable because they don't feel they are getting the same rewards per effort as what they feel previous generations got (which is probably a mix of truth and bias).

D. Even if we ignore the variability of C, the universal constant will always be there: The availability of types of work will never match the availability people who enjoy each type, and even when the universe could pair a person with a position they would like, a lot of luck is involved. It's a fundamental problem of work that will probably not be solved until the far sci-fi future (if that ever comes). This is an uncomfortable truth. Most people who are happy at work are not happy because of the work, but simply because they get to socialize with people they enjoy socializing with. Employers of course prefer to push the message of this article's thesis instead.

As an aside: In addition to socializing, there is now a second source of non-work-related happiness: Working from home. This increases happiness for both introverted people, and also extroverted people who happen to be in a work environment where they don't really click with their coworkers personality-wise, which is a lot of people - maybe most people in a 21st cen. culture with so many diverse personality types. Luckily you can make both groups happy by allowing both modes of work, since the latter group were mostly not contributing to the social happiness of the former group anyway.

Edit: As pointed out, extroverts can also be fulfilled by in-person socializing at home. Also, both extroverts and introverts can fulfill or supplement their happy dose of socializing virtually (usually via text, which counter-intuitively is a better vector for socializing than video calls).
