Good and bad in the sense that they can achieve management's directives? Yes, anyone from any culture so long as they have a practical grasp of the language they're working in can adapt to the circumstance.

But the culture starts at the top. Everything within the U.S. spiritual ecosystem is geared towards a superficial approach to all things. One example in the vein of engineering is Ford vs. Toyota. Anyone who has owned both of these can attest to the difference. There is a craftsmanship culture within Japan that I'm sure we're all acquainted with, but there are also much more subtle values at play (f.e. duty, sacrifice, etc.) that color everything an individual, and the society he makes up, touches. The individuals of America do not have strong values or sensibilities. I want to say this is because of its quality of being a "cultural melting pot." But this aspect of it doesn't turn it into a stone soup, where all the different and varied ingredients work together to make something unique, with surprisingly complimentary flavors. Instead, I think it turns into an actual crucible, where people of all different mettle are melted down; and all of the extraneous spiritual slag is scooped off the top, before being poured out as a completely uniform metal, without a noticeable difference batch-to-batch.

Instead of refining and building upon a culture, as 99% of other nations do, America specializes in annihilating it, and integrating the stray quality here and there that it finds useful towards its ends. And its ends is something I cannot even begin to know.
> Population-based studies produce estimates of the number of Iraq War casualties ranging from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 to 1,033,000 excess deaths

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

I'm surprised you're asking for numbers that are so easily accessible. Perhaps you're only thinking of people directly killed by US soldiers while the parent comment was considering all violent deaths caused by the war the US started?
My condolences. I thought me getting cut in the first round was to keep that whole deal afloat when the economy went south. But no one is safe, it seems.

Wells Fargo, PayPal, SoFi, Citibank, and Fidelity[1] all offer 2% cash back on everything, unlimited, no annual fee. There's nothing special about that rate. Wells Fargo will even give you a $200 sign up bonus.

Depending on your specific spending habits you might even come out ahead with the Citi Custom Cash, which offers 5% cash back on your highest spending category (up to $500) every month, 1% cach back on everything else.

I have a credit card with Bank of America which I earn 2.625% cash back on everything, no annual fee. However, that rate requires having $100,000 invested with Merrill Lynch. - https://www.doctorofcredit.com/bank-of-america-preferred-rew...

One of the homeless studies in San Francisco several years ago found that of first year unhoused people, 20% of them were people that simply broke up with a partner they were living with. The bigger realization was thinking about the not depicted complement of that graph: these were the proverbial strong ones that actually left

I could see that reality spreading across the country.
The story is compellingly written, but I thought it was also confusing.

It sounds as if this team made several mistakes, not just one mistake. It's also not clear if the result of these mistakes was that there might be real damage to the spacecraft, or if the result was just wasted time and hours of confusion about why the spacecraft wouldn't start up.

The first mistake is they didn't realize that the multimeter was not only measuring, but it was also completing the circuit.

That sounds like a real bad idea. But if it was totally necessary to arrange it like that, then that multimeter should never have been touched.

That's not just one guy's error. It's at least two guys at fault, along with whoever is managing them, and whoever is in charge of the system that allows it.

The second mistake is with the break-out-box. They think he misdirected power wrongly into the spacecraft. Then they jump to the conclusion that has generated a power surge which has damaged the spacecraft, because it won't start up.

But they're not sure where the power surge went and what might be damaged. Anyhow they're wrong.

The reason the spacecraft won't start up is just because he took the multimeter out of the circuit before the accident.

I'm still sort of confused about what happened or if they ever really figured out what happened.

He said "Weeks of analyses followed on the RAT-Revolve motor H-bridge channel leading to detailed discussions of possible thin-film demetallization".

Does this mean that they decided that the misdirected power surge might have flowed into the RAT-Revolve motor H-bridge channel and damaged that?
For a fair part of the population, especially those using at home a crappy PC crashing twice a week, 'smart home stuff' means that some bug or backdoor may lead them into a mess: lock them out, let an intruder in, over/under-heat for weeks while they are out of town... They don't want any part of this.

You can outcompete with power features (which is the Linux vs Windows tactic), and watch for them to suddenly get something similar in the back of their minds again.

Don't waste your time labeling each outlet/switch. While it can be useful at times, most of them will not be used before some other project requires moving the breakers to a different position in the box and then they are worse than nothing: if you trust them you get a shock!
That sounds like $600 well spent. My pre-purchase inspection didn't even uncover some fairly obvious unsafe wiring.
This is a great point but given their comment history and 7000+ karma, my money is on this being the original author taking an opportunity to repost their own writing.

Women could most certainly establish credit and open bank accounts and own real estate, even as far back as the 1800s. My great grandmother raised three children as a widow in the middle of the Great Depression. Being a widow was quite a bit more common in those days as war killed a lot of young, married men with children. And disease took quite a few others. At any rate, she worked a factory job, and owned her own house. And ran her own checking account.

There were even programs available to women (and men) for obtaining a mortgage, such as the FHA program established in 1934: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FHA_insured_loan (this program is still around)

For a drip machine, I have a Mr. Coffee that uses a stainless steel carafe that uses its thermal properties to keep the coffee hot. I find that I prefer that over the more typical glass carafes anyway for multiple reasons. Two include that there is no chance of breaking the carafe and also I think coffee continuously heated by the glass machines develops a kind of nasty burnt flavor, which is making the already bad drip coffee taste even worse.

Ultimately the steel carafe only keeps the coffee hot for about 3 hours after brewing but for something with zero heat applied after brewing it's not bad, and the flavor stays decent.

I guess one downside of the steel carafe is that if you have coffee older than that there's no way to turn the heater on to warm it back up, but I just pop it into the microwave if that's the case.

You may sell the house, but you keep the memories. It sucks your grandkids won't be able to eat from your pizza oven, but you did, and you can talk about how you made it, and how much you enjoyed it, and that lives on. My parents sold their home a few years ago, and while my dad will regularly talk about how he misses it and what terrible changes the new owners make, it doesn't change that I was raised in that house, and we had great times and memories there, and he will now have a chance to make them with his granddaughter in his new house. It stings, but try not to let it.

In Malayalam, lemon is naaranga. Local sweet varieties are called madhura naaranga or sweet lemon, where interestingly the former half is tatsama (as-is) Sansktri and latter pure Dravidian. Almost all citrus fruits have the naara root. This must be the same in Tamil too, except that it is usually free of tatsama Sanskrit terms.

The oranges that are commercially sold must be sweeter cultivars introduced later on, after English adoption, because of which we ended up calling these oranges.

Edit: Even Tamil is the English term for Thamizh.
I dunno, I like my parents. I could think of worse ways to live than with them. But to be honest I guess I'd rather have the reverse of my parents living with me.

20 years of 'this is my house and...' is enough :D
A breakout box usually has both male and female sides, along with the banana or whatever breakout in the middle, so it can be plugged into either side of the circuit, or both at once and watch signals while the system operates. It's not genderless, it's a pass-through.

Making an only-faces-the-motor breakout, and a separate only-faces-the-driver breakout, might've been prudent, presuming that they used unique and consistent connectors, for instance a single gender always on the motors. But that's quite an assumption and I can imagine a ton of reasons it might not apply.
US is indeed seeing lower divorce rates.

I do wonder if it's correlated to the decline in couples having children.

A 20% rise in a stock doesn't constitute evidence of market inefficiency. In most cases that increase is due to new information becoming available.

Some are safe for several years (3-5), that's it. During that time it's going to wreck the bottom tiers of employees and progressively move up the ladder.

GPT and the equivalent will be extraordinary at programming five years out. It will end up being a trivially easy task for AI in hindsight (15-20 years out), not a difficult task.

Have you seen how far things like MidJourney, Dalle, Stable Diffusion have come in just a year or two? It's moving extremely fast. They've gone from generating stick figures to realistic photographs in two years.
I measured the energy consumption of my connected iQ-500 Siemens dishwasher. It used 750 Wh per load total, regardless if I used eco (3h55min) or 40/50 degree standard program (2h15min). I am guessing the "eco" mode only saves water.

There's no money to save on spot price optimization there.

Do you work in game development? I've heard similar things before in that area, and it kind of makes sense for that specific use case.
I'm really excited about this! I know the Keras team has been hard at work and it's cool to see the 3.0 release as sort of a reborn framework. One thing I'm particularly stoked about is the ability to load models from other frameworks but then work with TF and Keras based exports for productionization, especially on e.g. edge. I think there's a lot of goodness beyond just being able to pick and run a pre-existing backend. Thanks for all the hard work!

How's the afterlife treating you?
Yeah, personally I think the tipping culture is wrong and I don’t like people to feel they have to grovel for my pittance. It feels gross to wield that power over people. If they give bad service they should simply be fired, rather than having to earn that on each and every exchange. Some restaurants have started including tips without optionality. This feels right - it scales with the business volume. By making the business more successful, cross selling upselling and creating loyal customers, the wait staff wins. Probably the way to change things is to seek these restaurants out and make their business model successful rather than screwing over folks who are just trying to get by.
That would be great! I hope to do that someday.

It certainly, did, I deployed Heisenbridge on my homeserver because I didn't want to go back to having two clients open.
That's disingenuous to some extent. Housing is beyond reach for many folks nowadays and jobs don't follow in the smaller towns you mention and you'd put yourself at risk of being surrounded by no one your age. Of course people want to live close to their social circle.
Divorce was a totally different animal before no fault divorce became a thing. The idea of an amicable divorce didn't really exist in the public mind. Divorce itself was also scandalous, if you could even get it done.

The rate of cohabitation was probably sky high because most couples who wanted to divorce just stayed married because actual divorce wasn't worth it.
This is actually a really bizarre concept to me. To me, the reason to divorce someone would be that you are so incompatible that you can't bear to live with them. And this would come after a period of separation where you test out the waters and make sure that divorce is definitely the correct path forward.

If you still get along well enough that you can live together peacefully, you might as well just stay married!
Agreed, was just rhetorically asking because you mentioned projects with the license

I sometimes wonder how people managed in the 19th century. Many went from villages to increasingly crowded cities. With no savings, minimal or no education. Industrial production was ramping up, but with crazy demands on workers, long hours, no safety standards. Couldn’t get a mortgage and wait for a nice corporation to build an apartment for you. Couldn’t look for a place in suburbs (how would you commute). Somehow our grand-grand-grand ancestors managed. Seems astounding.

On the other hand, in coming times of global depopulation, what will housing situation look like?

My sister lives 4 houses down from our parents and did it on purpose but refuses to speak to them or let them see their granddaughter. Some people do weird shit.
Isn’t this just a return to the historical norm? The details of how assets are split up, how many kids there are, and the attitudes towards “infidelity” are different but two grown opposite sex adults cohabiting to shelter themselves with less resources all seems extremely normal. If anything we’re leaving a bizarre point in history where maintaining two residences is seen as easier compared to working things out amicably. If anything it should help with the birthrate and demographic issues.

I take your point. The framing of ones thoughts is actually very important. It can be tricky though to get to framing that works, since in my experience it requires that the frames has solid meaning.
The exception there is Heisenbridge if you've got your own homeserver, supports certfp, and sasl auth too so it's really just like using znc or anything else.

I really dislike the "Light On Two Sides Of Every Room" pattern of Christopher Alexander, which is ideally accomplished with two externally facing windows on different walls. Windows compromise how I would like to layout the room's interior to my own preferences. I don't care what an architect envisioned for a generic human habitability, I want a space to feel habitable to me. Most of the time that means eliminating natural light.
Seems this is very typical, first time launches usually lose some data.

Not enough money/asses in seats to support it
We got the same when my parents moved into their current house (about 35 years ago). I thought it was a very grown-up thing- not just appliance manuals, but actual hand-written explanations of where all the important things were and details on the history of the house. It felt uncommon and special but I guess it isn't!
Six patients is a long way from persuasive evidence, because with so few patients randomness is going to be a large factor. And it appears that the six were chosen from the set of patients that doctors were having trouble diagnosing, which may put a thumb on the scale against doctors. But yes, it certainly suggests that a larger study might be worth doing (also including patients diagnosed correctly by doctors, to catch cases where GPT-4 doesn't do as well).
As energy costs go up the cost of living rural not accounting for housing goes up relative to urban life. It’s not as if urbanization is driven by collective stupidity.

As a producer? Huh. That’s such a great question.

I think producer roles are a little bit less ultra competitive / scarce as they are actually jobs jobs where you have to use excel and planning and budgeting.

Being a producer means being on the phone all the time, negotiating, haggling, finding solutions where they don’t seem to exist.

Be it in TV, advertising or somewhere in the media space, the common rule is that producers are mostly actually terrible at their jobs, that’s my experience in London. So if she’s really good and really dedicated and learns the job of everyone on set, I’d say she has a shot.

The real secret to being good in filmmaking is learning everyone else’s job. Toyota Production System says if you want to run a production line you have to know how it works.

If she wants to do VFX production she could start doing her own test scenes, learning basics in nuke and Blender, even understanding the role of Houdini and how that works.

If she does that - any company will be lucky to have her.

Even if it is it doesn't invalidate the argument. Outside my "city" you can get housing for much much cheaper and have the same commute as if you lived in the city itself.

But at some point you're going to have to give up this notion that population density can be made infinite. At some point you can't simply cram more "work" into a city.

Operating margins are actually down compared to previous gens, roughly similar to 2012 levels, until AI comes into the picture. And gaming cards haven’t increased their margins equivalently.

Nvidia isn’t going to sell gaming cards at an operating loss out of AI money. If the consumer market is soft then it’s soft, and with the general slowdown in Moores law cost progression it doesn’t make sense to have “firesale gens” that set an impossible standard for future gens to beat.

~20% perf/$ progression per generation is going to be about what’s sustainable, because that’s about what tsmc is giving the chip companies. You can “cheat” by using older worse nodes like ampere and turing did, and like AMD did with the RX 7600, to keep costs down, but that’s a one-time boost and consumers grow to expect that pricing going forward. It’s been a market-strategy mistake and has resulted in mis-calibrated consumer expectations around how much costs are actually increasing. Just make the products you can make and sell them at the same margins you’ve always operated at.

Super refresh should recalibrate a couple of the worst misses, 4080 MSRP is indefensible and 4070 ti is just way too expensive for a 12gb card, but, 4060 and 4070 and 4090 are all pretty on-target and are not particularly high-margin products especially compared to dirt cheap Turing and ampere chips.
