I very much doubt this would happen. The kinds of folks who advocate for UBI would not want to see those who require special accommodation be cut off from assistance programs. For instance, I doubt a paraplegic would be able to support themselves with the standard UBI payment. Also keep in mind the blind get a tax break from the IRS, would such a thing be considered an assistance program?

Of course, one could imagine a compassionate government giving additional UBI money to those who are disabled. But, that would require some bureaucracy to verify claims and make adjustments. At which point we’re back to having an assistance program.
I don’t think it matters if he understands, imo if this is actually true (which we will never know) that’s definitely messed up. Most 13 year olds know that this is wrong.
A UBI of $x/month will just yield rent increases of $x/month.
First off, this is fabulous work. I went through it for the Nano, but is there a way to do the step-by-step for the other LLMs?
These toxic hellscapes also add up to less than a third of the Earth's total surface area, so even in the best case scenario they couldn't hold a whole lot of people. And regarding overpopulation, exponential population growth will outstrip any space colonization plan, so it really is a silly idea.

> Has anyone ever been promoted to an engineering manager and decided it wasn't for them?

Engineering manger and IC are different jobs. An EM title is never a promotion. It is a career or job role change. The skill sets and value proposition are entirely different.

So much personal stress and in some cases negative team or business impact could be prevented if we stop thinking of management as a promotion and more as a career shift.

If you’re unhappy, think about root causing what specifically it is you’re unhappy about. If you DO want to be a manager but not for this team, that’s a different challenge than if you do not want to manage people at all.

If it’s something you don’t want to do, have a heart to heart with your direct manager and tell him or her how you feel. This is less about quitting - if your manager is worth working for, they’ll give you the right encouragement to stay in the role and help remove obstacles and unnecessary challenges off your plate. Or they should help you transition and return to an IC role.
It would probably cause price inflation. I think if my landlord knew that I was receiving an extra amount of money each month, that everyone got this extra amount of money, they would naturally raise the price of my rent. Retailers would do this for certain. Otherwise it is leaving money on the table, and successful businesses tend to be very aware of this. A UBI would only work if there were massive cost controls, which would be antithetical to any capitalist-based system. UBI is an interesting theory but there is already a MUCH better option: Remove income taxes.
What challenges have you faced? I’ve been planning do the same thing (whisper for ASR, and something else for text to text translation).

It's infrastructure. It should be boring, unchanging, and without surprises. It should be so reliable that we take it for granted.
I did this. I just went to the managers' meeting and said "I'm not being a manager any more, I'm going back to IC". I guess I talked to the manager-of-managers first. Is there really a blocker to you just doing that? I think it's unlikely but if you lose your job you sound to me like someone with enough experience and interviewing chops to find another that you're excited about?
Yes. That is one argument. It is the experience of life, we do not feel like automatons. Are you saying you had to write this reply? Or did you have a choice?
This is basically what we do, using TeamCity. DevOps sets up all the permissions and VCS integration, and helps figure out all the AWS IAM stuff. Then we get a nice clean little sandbox to run our build and deploy scripts in, which we commit to version control, including CloudFormation templates. It works really well: it's a comfortable separation of responsibilities that allows our team to move quickly with relatively little risk, and it involves almost no hands-on attention from DevOps once it's up and running, so they can direct their efforts elsewhere.
I don't mind Jenkins pipeline limitations because my philosophy is that CI should be as simple and contain as little build logic as possible.

Every job should be a few simple commands or a python script or something I can run locally. This simplifies reproducing and debugging issues caught by CI -- there's nothing worse than wasting time trying to reproduce what happened.

> There are specific things like extradition treaties, trade agreements, and parallel legislation that cover existing areas where this happens. Is there one that covers application of the GDPR in the US?

Nope. Extradition only covers the case where you go to some other country and commit a crime there, then return to the US. If the crime you committed there is serious, and is also a crime here, then extradition can apply. There are other conditions as well, but the key is that it has to be a crime in both places.

Europeans can claim that you must follow their laws until they are blue in the face but it won’t magically become true. You can safely ignore it. Enjoy competing against European businesses without having to pay any of the same costs.

This fall I was in Iowa and had to pick up a coworker at the airport in Des Moines. I was sitting in the cellphone lot and as the sun started to set this crazy noise started picking up. It sounded like it was almost... spinning in a circle around the airport. The direction seemed to be constantly moving. For a while I thought it was one of those noise generators that were meant to annoy teenagers. We got back to Ames and I started hearing the same noise in the hotel parking lot. I have no idea what compelled me to think "cicadas" but as soon as I googled it I confirmed that that's what it was. Crazy crazy little creatures!

Had a similar experience around dusk earlier this year when I started thinking that I was having vision problems. I kept seeing all of these weird little sparkles of light out in a corn field. Sure enough, fireflies!
ICYMI, The Prince podcast is quite good.

Introducing The Prince: Searching for Xi Jinping

https://www.economist.com/podcasts/2022/09/07/introducing-th...

Am noob. TIL: One motivation of Xi Jinping's strategic policy shifts is anti-corruption. I can't help but wonder if there were alternatives. Like legislation, enforcement, and strengthening the judiciary.

But I'm noob. If it was just that easy, it probably would have happened.

> It seemed to be working in China too until Xi took over.

Ya. This whole mess just makes me sad. I had really hoped China and USA would continue to grow towards each other.
Would a removal of income tax not net the same result?: an increase in money supply, therefore an increase in inflation.

We could always dig at the cultural issue and work towards making greed a degenerate trait to be shunned and managed out.

It is a capitalist enterprise, which means control by its very owners is contingent on making enough profit to pay the bills, in the very best of cases. This is not my opinion.

Agreed - I'd much rather spend more time working around Jenkins' peculiarities once than constantly deal with change for the sake of change because some PM wants more "engagement" to justify their job and promotion.

Tools need to be boring and get out of my way - something "modern" tooling forgets since everyone's paycheck depends on forgetting that.
It depends on what you call "ordinary Rust", I guess. You can use an allocator on embedded, but likely won't want to. There are static types that provide the same APIs as the allocating data structures you'd miss[1]. Granted, you're not gonna be able to take any random crate that isn't designed for such an environment, but that's a different problem, and there's a fledging ecosystem of no_std crates out there. Despite all those caveats, you can still write very high level code in embedded Rust, even async/await state machines![2]

That is nowhere near happening yet. The USA still benefits from brain drain from those countries to the USA for some reason. Denmark, for example, just produces too many computer scientists to utilize locally, so lots of them wind up in the US.

Interesting way to explain inflation as just greedy landlords.

My taxes have tripled in the past 5 years. Appliance, construction, repairs, insurance are all much higher.

If I was renting to people - in what world wouldn’t I be forced to raise their rent? Why would I cover that for someone when I have to pay it?
The authors were digging in the correct place to find gold. However, limiting the discussion to “exceptional” (not really) lockdowns-as-a-hot-topic-in-media, and turning to lifeless non-conclusions like “opportunities for self-actualization” and “discovery of passions” were their ways of scuttling.

A good book tying “well-being” to cultural perception of time itself is “Time and the Dog: Society and Depression” by Maria Rita Kehl. Unfortunately, its English translation, announced in 2018, never materialized for some reason, and now, it seems, Verso Books has removed the book from the website. Well, if you're bored, you can always learn Portuguese or Russian to read it.

That would probably make a lot of new housing construction more economically viable. I’m not sure what the overall effects of UBI would be, but this seems like it would be a short term effect.
If everybody earned the same, giving everybody the same amount of money would of course have no effect and simply be cancelled out by inflation.

But not everybody earns the same. So handing out cash to everyone should have a compressing effect of wealth.
Okay. So, in the case of America, it would either be relatively ineffective for those living in cities, or relatively enriching for those living in rural areas, yeah?

It seems challenging to get everyone to agree on a fair number.
I once amused myself by coding a variant on "scramble the middle, keep first and last letter the same": instead of random scrambles, permute so that the resulting word is the most probable nonword according to a letter-trigram model of English.

(It made one other mistake I didn't comment on there.)
Lawyers have a saying: "Hard cases make bad precedent."

I think a version of that applies here. ("Hard cases make bad definitions"?) We have a real and observable phenomenon surrounding us, and we have a name for it, 'life'. If we seek out border cases that may or may not be a part of this group of things, then that doesn't really help us describe what the main body of this thing is.

Life is not an abstract thing, it is something concrete that we see around us with cells and stuff. To some extent viruses and fire fit in the group of living things, but they're outliers. We can arbitrarily decide either that they are life, or arbitrarily decide that they are not life, if we want the word "life" to be precisely defined. But whatever we choose, it doesn't tell us anything about life.
Another key aspect of it being universal is that it doesn't disincentive work and improving one's situation. This is a huge problem with unemployment and other means-tested welfare programs. People end up in situations where they're actually worse off if they get a job or make more money.
It's been at least the last 5 years that an ideological mob has seemed to gain traction here.
Yeah yuge success indeed.

Because Alaska is unique, AFAIK the only state in America that sells something. Everything else is income redistribution. The money has to come from somewhere. It's a very fine line, I agree, but the permanent fund only exists because the state can generate that income from something other than increased taxes, redistribution, or reducing spending some place else.
> you have removed any semblance of moral consideration from the equation

I think rather we have invented the notion of life so that we can divide the world into things that are morally relevant and things that are not. People do this all the time: my phylum is better than all the other phyla, my nation is better than all the other nations, my species is better than all the other species, my race is better than all the other races, my gender is better than the other gender (or all the other genders -- I am not trying to make this an argument about gender). We decide there is a scientific basis -- we declare this by fiat -- for ourselves having ethical privileges.

Morality does not need to be centered around preserving the privileges of the winner. We don't need the concept of life to decide what is right. For instance, there is the balance of perceived harm. If something does not have interests or a means of pursuing them, we need not concern ourselves with harming it.

In any case, deriving our ethics from reason and facts is at least as good as deriving it from distinctions of uncertain basis that happen to always work to our own benefit.

You can also run a "less privileged" container with all the features of Docker by using rootless buildkit in Kubernetes. Here are some examples:

It's also possible to run dedicated buildkitd workers and connect to them remotely.

My experience with PowerLine (TPLink) was really awful. Completely unstable and inconsistent performance.

We then switched to MoCA (ActionTec) and it has been about as good as a direct ethernet cable. Consistent performance and stays up for years at a time. No issues ever.

The performance of each likely comes down to how much noice is on the respective wires. Our electrical network is likely crowded and influenced somewhat by neighbors. However our coax was completely unused and I disconnected it from the outside world (for privacy and noise reduction)

If you have coax outlets in locations useful for networking, I would definitely consider using MoCA instead of PowerLine.
The article says that the unions want Tesla to sign on to a collective agreement. Tesla could just do that and give workers their place at the table. That would end the strikes.

It’s so simple. But if they want to do some convoluted things like you have described to avoid being a part of the social contract, at some point they deserve to suffer from it.

There are no products without the workers who labor to make them, transport them, service them. Capital cannot will them into existence. Workers deserve representation.
Jenkins is rock solid. Been using it for three years to deliver highly critical software. The development experience is the worst of all ci tools since no one wants to setup jenkinspipelineunit to test the pipelines. Dagger might be the salvation here, but even that tool didn't support Jenkins out of the gate. And for those that are reading this, the statement about pipeline groovy being a trap is exactly right. Avoid writing groovy at all costs. No one on the team wants to get good groovy and if you do, you're weird. The way we do it is to just use the Jenkins file to call the scripts (or tools) with bare minimal script code.

Edit, forgot to add that I recently interviewed a bunch of candidates for a high paying job at a ai hardware company and every one of those candidates stated they worked on or near a project that involved moving from Jenkins to Gitlab CI.

Yes, linear regression is often quite good, especially if you have a good sense of what transformations you already need to do to the data to make linear regression work well. I think that many people unfortunately think that advanced techniques will somehow make up for deficient data (either poor quality data or too little data or both). Or worse, they think that advanced techniques will reduce the amount of thinking they have to do. Advanced techniques usually don't do either. Garbage in, garbage out as the saying goes. Simple techniques can often get good answers in much less time.
Economic viability isn’t what prevents new housing from being built.

I’m in favor. More legible, easier and cheaper to reproduce, good rendering in small sizes. Brands need more differentiation when they’re new. Once they’re established, the name and the product stands for itself. I don’t get why people care so much about this. Do they also bother with people using t-shirts rather of suits? Simpler logos are more functional. Logos also don’t exist on a vacuum (like a JPEG in an article), they are accompanied with other elements of visual language. Hand picking some logos and putting them all together in order to make a statement about a perceived trend is artificial. There are much more fancy logos than simpler ones overall, so nowadays simpler stand out more. Also, there’s nuance in simple, it’s not just “sans serif”, there’s weight, spacing, contrast and proportion differences. A design must be evaluated in its own context and usage, unlike they do in these articles. I’ve lost count of these superficial attacks on “minimalism” which appear on the net. I bet not one of the designers responsible for such redesigns did that on basis of a trend, each project had a specific scope and rationale, but somehow people attack designers like they are all getting stupid, yeah, sure, random people on the internet must know better than designers evolving their craft and understanding for decades, working closely with clients to realize a comprehensive and carefully crafted vision.

Just as a note: TeamCity originally launched around 2005 sometime, so it's coming up to be 20 years old soon. I think TeamCity Professional, when self-hosting, has been free since always.
