From a lot of points of view the surprising thing is not that he died now it's that he lasted this long. I remember seeing the Pogues back in the 90s in the Joe Strummer period and they were awesome but it was "common knowledge" back then that Shane was extremely ill and not long for the world.
It's not that really. At least not the whole of it. It was just easy to tie him as a face to the kind of corporate entities that people hate. Also his position was much more vulnerable than other pharma executives who can afford to pay armies of PR teams, etc.

He has a need for attention and a poor sense of self-preservation -- sort of like weev but without being a massive racist.
If it works, it doesn't end up being temporary, it becomes economically unattractive to go drill.

I’m in the middle of this. Got a Bee Link miniPC. It came with windows, licensed oddly. I’m configuring it as a home server. Current plan is to migrate my Unraid install over from the vintage server it’s currently on. Most services are run in docker. We’ll see how performance is.

ProxMox is on my list to try out. So far I’m very happy with Unraid. It makes it easy to set up network shares, find and deploy containerized services, and handles VMs if you need them. I try to avoid the VM and focus on containers because it’s more flexible resource wise.

I agree 100pc. I also think that it's important to distinguish between IP violation for personal profits and the violation for profit.

If someone is using my IP for personal enjoyment or learning that's great but if they're using it to make megabucks like openAI and others intend to do then I want my cut.

7) Mitochondria (and chloroplasts) have double membranes, exactly like they would if they were smaller cells engulfed by the host cell.

8) There are multiple examples of ongoing endosymbiosis where the engulfed cell remains a true symbiont, not yet an organelle. Paramecium bursaria is my favorite - a ciliated protozoan with blue-green algae symbionts.

Bonus: there is evidence for secondary and tertiary endosymbiosis too.
I think the arguments for leaving oil in the ground have more to do with path dependence than prioritizing the needs of oil company shareholders.

Markets have a limited ability to look ahead. It's like a greedy algorithm. You're finding a local maximum, but not necessarily a global one (or even one that won't melt the planet).

The most efficient choice at any given moment (even incorporating a correctly priced carbon tax) may be to continue drilling. But due to the very long term capital investments, investing in drilling today because it's the best option, also guarantees it will be the best option tomorrow. So maybe additional interventions are required to reset the path dependence?

I think a purely market based solution would probably figure things out eventually, but we should also consider ways to help the transient response be as minimally disruptive as possible.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate even though I agree with your point.

Firing people sucks. As a manager, it's a terrible feeling to tell someone they are out of a job. Not only that, but often times my own pay might be tied to how many people I manage, so in some cases, it's better for me to have people around doing nothing than to let them go. By having a forced ranking/culling, you somewhat alleviate the tendency of people not wanting to fire non-performing staff.

Companies should have a culture where this isn't the case. It should be encouraged to let people go with nice severance. You should be judged on your teams' output, not on how many people you manage. You should be rewarded for doing more with fewer staff. But enforcing this is very hard in a big company while enforcing a 6% cull is easy, so that's what happens.

They are not. The modes the bts.gov page they cite breaks it down by are: Truck, Rail, Water, Air (including truck-air), Multiple modes and mail, Pipeline, Others and unknown, and no domestic mode.

Tossing the data in a spreadsheet and figuring percentages, the percentages of the total for those modes are: 64.6, 9.8, 4.3, 0.0, 2.8. 17.1, 0.2, and 1.2.

So 1.8 ratio of truck to non-truck, which is close enough to their claim that "In the United States, vehicles with tires carry twice as much freight as vehicles without them".

Personally, I'd exclude "Pipeline" since I wouldn't count that as a "vehicle". With that excluded the ratio of truck freight to other freight is 3.5 to 1.
That will still take at least 20 years.

No, the relationship is directional. You can reinterpret a pointer to an integral type to a pointer to unsigned char and read the underlying bytes. The other way around is UB.
>Is it though?

I'm struggling to understand why so many musicians - countless numbers, from nearly every genre, with all different sizes of fan bases - have been complaining about Spotify reducing their income if the difference wasn't "really that big".
Aren't there other ways to solve this that are easy to refactor? For example, writing a standalone function for just the common parts of the horse and donkey neigh implementations, and if suddenly some things stop being common to both, move it into the horse or donkey implementations specifically.

Or, maybe this idiom (it's C++ but should apply to other languages with inheritance and virtual method equivalents, e.g. Java, C#). Why not something like this?

This plus many people own mineral rights that are impractical or likely non-economical to exercise if you have to actually do the work to get the resource out of the ground. If you take that obligation to zero, many more properties' mineral rights are valuable (which goes to the exploitable financial incentive scheme point you made).

I own the mineral rights to a plot that also has a house on it. It would suck for the house usage to drill for oil on that land and there might not be economically viable oil underneath (you only ever know statistically/via modeling until you drill)...

I wrote a fish version, and simplified it:

function frg --description "rg tui built with fzf and bat"

fzf --ansi \
--color 'hl:-1:underline,hl+:-1:underline:reverse' \
--delimiter ':' \
--preview "bat --color=always {1} --theme='Solarized (light)' --highlight-line {2}" \
--preview-window 'up,60%,border-bottom,+{2}+3/3,~3' \
--bind "enter:become($EDITOR +{2} {1})"
end

Still not a fan of the string-based injections based on the colon and newline characters, but all versions suffer from it. (also: nice that fzf does the right thing and prevents space and quote injection by default).

> The Fourth Amendment protects the physical,

That's a narrow reading of it. "Papers and effects" ought to extend to our data as well, something the authors could not have called out more explicitly at the time of its writing. Call it inconvenient or impractical, whatever, but it's ridiculous to conclude their intent was that government can spy on presumed innocents as long as they don't make a physical mess.

I think third party doctrine is also a pile of crap... and that data brokers shouldn't have a square inch of legal ground to stand on. GDPR sets a good example in that regard.

Subaru has a ton of engine and 4WD knowledge that would benefit Toyota, the other way around, Toyota has economies of scale and hybrid knowledge that Subaru will likely never have so both come out ahead of a partnership like this and the signs are that they are drawing closer to each other. Toyota has steadily expanded their stake in Subaru which today stands at 20%, and Subaru is now officially a part of the Toyota group.

Forbidding something is never “it”. People do prohibited things all the time.

Kissinger is on record (from WEF/Davos of all places) as having criticized the West's position in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The only reason he swum against the tide was because he was 98 at the time and probably doesn't give a shit what anybody thinks of him.

Not strictly related to their study, but if we consider Solomonoff induction to be the most general model of all (albeit not computable), then I’d say yes to the question, if only because it will select the most specialized model(s) for the particular problem at hand automatically.

One could argue universal general intelligence is simply the ability to optimally specialize as necessary.

I think one aspect that is overlooked when people are involved is that we create specialized or fine-tuned models precisely for the reason that a general approach didn’t work well enough. If it had, we would have stopped there. So there’s a selection bias in that almost all fine-tuned models are initially better than general models, at least until the general models catch up.

"Regular people writing and creating artwork are greedy asshats for wanting it to remain possible to be compensated for their creations" is really not a strong argument, especially against "massive, wealthy companies want to be able to create works that mimic the style of these artists and writers for profit with zero marginal cost in perpetuity".
AFAIK this isn't really true. Microsoft made the GDK public, but only for targeting Windows 10/11. The portion for targeting the Xbox is still under NDA. You can get access to developer mode for your Xbox by signing a few things online and paying a nominal fee, but that level of access only lets you deploy UWP apps to your Xbox, not do native development.

> here are industries & companies that have grown fat & lazy and could use a few annual 6% culls, but you eventually run out of fat.

I've worked on many high-performing teams where you couldn't find 6%, or 1-in-18 of people who shouldn't be there.

However, I've never worked for an entire fast growing company where I couldn't readily pick out 1-in-18 people who were clearly underperforming and everyone knew it.

Hiring is far from perfect and these companies are growing quickly. Combined with turnover, you're bringing in a large number of new developers every year. Some people are really good at Leetcode and interviewing, but don't actually like to do work at jobs, for example.

IMO, the problem comes when these arbitrary thresholds are applied at low levels like individual teams. If you take a group of 18 people and declare that 1 of them must be fired every year no matter what, it's terrible. On the other hand, if you were to look at a large department of 1000 people and went through everyone's performance closely, I don't think it would be hard to identify 60 people who weren't working out.

The other problem is that some people have become really good at gaming this system. Every time I've worked at a company that does arbitrary culling of employees, there was always a contingent of old timers who had mastered the system years ago and never found themselves up for consideration to PIP. Either they were friends with management, had some arcane knowledge that they refused to let anyone else access, or they were really good at buttering up their manager come performance review time. I can think of one guy who was always fighting with everyone and refusing to do work, but would become the sweetest, most helpful hero a couple times a year when some high profile issue came up. He'd work 16 hour days for a couple weeks, emergent triumphantly with some solution, then disappear again for another 6 months. Untouchable, yet clearly the lowest net performer on the team.
Almost all modern science is gated by needing incredibly massive amounts of money.

'Closed source' science happens in every industry. While you may not think of what DOW is doing at science, it is and huge companies like that progress by their internal workings.

What you're stating is something else, that maybe we should fund sciences, such as AI more, but we really did that in the past and it had it's own fits and starts. Then transformers came out of Google and private industry has been leading the way in AI. If you want to keep up with cutting edge and the 10s of millions needed to train them, you'll need to use these private models.

Hackers hack stuff from private companies all the time. Hackers use proprietary software. There is no purity test we have to pass.
Why? It seems no different than actors or musicians. Maybe they didn't make a living and 'just got by'.

While we're on HN I ask the same question about software engineers. How did (do) so many people make a living producing Twitter or Facebook? If that isn't luxury I don't know what is.

If I had to choose, I think I'd rather live in a world full of poets than software engineers.

"It depends". A managers job is to understand the business and what the strategy and ultimate goals of the business are and to direct their organization in such a way that contributes to this. This means staffing, equipping, training a team and then ensuring that the best possible objectives are being met that contribute to the larger organizational objectives. To ensure their cog is functioning optimally. That their KPIs are being hit effectively and that they make sense.

They should ensure the right code is being written and that it's of high quality and know who is contributing what. They should design and use metrics to measure this. They should nurture, yes, but they aren't a parent. But yes they should identify when a team member is coming up short and help them get on track but the contributor needs to come equipped with the basic skills - which is the managers responsibility to judge during hiring. To be sure, a manager who tends to have trouble with low performing contributors they've hired usually shows the managers is ineffective at hiring.
I tried changing the size of the smaller window, and it worked briefly to allow the ball to bounce off the now-larger size, before the game snapped the window size back to the original.

It made me think that changing the window could be part of the game somehow. Perhaps as you drag it bigger the playing field of the smaller game increases in width, so that game becomes harder (and also you can't move the paddle as far because your new window is too big to drag).

Or maybe you should be able to capture the ball in the big window into the smaller window, and the size and position of the smaller window determines its entry point.
