The mindset seems to result from careerism: that people define themselves according to the interesting and publicly recognized work that they do. In reality I suspect that people simply had no choice but to work according to their status and ability. It's just labor and there was plenty of it to go around. Why do we have to romanticize it?
Why do you assume everyone is talking about GPT4? Why do you assume we haven't tried all possibilities? Also, I was talking about Facebook's moderation AI, not GPT4, I have yet to see real concrete evidence that GPT4 can detect a joke that hasn't been said before. It's really really good at classification but so far there are some gaps in comprehension.

The cost part is complicated.

Despite claims from the right, we don't have a free market for healthcare (in no particular order)...

- The number of new doctors is tightly controlled via the residency program. In the past, the American Medical Assoc has lobbied to have those positions capped (though now there's enough of a shortage that the AMA is lobbying for more positions). The residency slots are funded by the federal government, not the medical schools/hospitals that run them.

- Every new healthcare facility goes through a local need analysis. There is always pressure from existing facilities to deny expanded need (this impacts things like MRIs - they're expensive because there are fewer than the market optimum number).

- Insurance divorces the consumer from the real cost. Further exacerbated because insurance is usually funded pre-tax by a person's employer (vs post tax from the employee's income).

- Insurance is coupled to employment - consumers can't pick and choose policies on the open market - the corporate HR benefits department does it.

- Various other regulatory systems create massive profits (insurance margins are capped, but in gross their profits are huge; Pharma is hugely profitable, even after accounting for R&D/approval costs)

- Medical doctors are paid extremely well. Average salary for a GP is over $250k US. Across all specialities, it's over $350k. Even accounting for the cost of medical school and low income during residency, they do very well. Most of the surgical specialists are $500k or more annually.

We seem to get the worst of all systems here. The downsides of strictly capitalist/free-market system plus the downsides of a strictly nationalized system. It works really well for the upper-middle-class (as long as you stay employed) and wealthy, but barely works at all for everybody else.
Await-Tree: A Panacea for Observability in Async Rust
We introduced Await-Tree as a powerful tool for observability in Async Rust. Await-Tree is a backtrace tool designed natively for Async Rust, which allows developers to observe the execution status of each async task in real time and analyze the dependency blocking relationships between different futures or tasks.
Yeah the key take away from that sentence was the harm caused, not the obscurity.
Signal is useless for many use cases where email is widely used. For example, it requires a phone number which just makes it useless for anything where people want to use a (possibly short-lived) pseudonym.

And note that I specifically said "people who just want to encrypt the bodies of their emails". That is still incredibly useful, even if the metadata is (obviously) not encrypted.

Maybe not for current chemistry lithium batteries but for batteries in general prices will probably keep dropping as they find different ways to save cost like using sodium instead of lithium. As solar and wind electricity production keeps getting cheaper and more home installations keep happening I think the demand for cheap home stationary batteries will start growing exponentially.

Hopefully we are not far from the tipping point cheap batteries are needed for it to happen though where world yearly electricity consumption growth can be met by renewables alone and we can start closing more and more coal power plants.

If you like working with the founders and the product is good, I suggest you speak to them first and raise your concern. Leaving without trying to get this addressed with the founders doesnt sound like a good move.

It’s interesting that she was threatened with being held responsible for violating a fiduciary duty for the for-profit entity while she was sitting on the non-profit board.

If storytelling isn’t part of your interviewing process you are absolutely leaving value on the table. You would be wasting less time interviewing & get better outcomes if you improved your path to getting into the interview.

Ideally you have a conversation with the hiring manager before you even enter the formal hiring process and storytelling should absolutely be part of that conversation. The story is “why you want to hire me specifically.”

> in a way that baking bread, for example, was not.

This probably just comes down to availability of equipment. Bread making in the home has been common in places like England and India for a long time. In places like Austria and France the preference is for bread that is best from special ovens that people don't have at home, but even there people would make things like brioche at home.
> doesn't eat much. I honestly don't understand why they go to AYCE

If someone is going and eating a small amount of a single dish then it makes no sense (unless, as in your example, they're going with someone else like a spouse in which case maybe the person/s they're going with like it enough for it to be worth going on average despite the person who isn't eating much).

But I've known a handful of people with quite small appetites who enjoy AYCE restaurants because it lets them enjoy several of their favourite dishes and/or try several new dishes, even if only a few mouthfuls of each. It might still work out poor value in raw terms of calories per $, but compared to any other way of enjoying 5 different types of tasty food in the same meal it can be very good value in pleasure per $.

As a founder I can assure you that the answer to this headline is 'everything', we get everything wrong about sales and marketing at first.
In India all you can eat pizza is pretty popular. You pay ~350 INR per person for non-vegetarian and ~250-300 INR per person for vegetarian. It's pretty good.

The trick they use is a large fizzy complimentary drink up front, which reduces your hunger for the first set of pizzas which take a bit to arrive.
I was just pointing out that meme style predates April 2023... I would be curious to see if it can explain why Dat Boi is funny though.
At this point who cares honestly. The more ‘fake’ generated nudes out there, means it’s just not going to be a novelty. And if everyone has the ability to generate an image of everyone naked, the value for ‘real’ nudes will go high but it will also be good cover for people who get their nudes leaked.

TBH, that's still painting yourself in a good light. Just a subtler approach to that. Overcoming flaws is more compelling than never having them in the first place. Because we all know that everything/everyone fails all the time.
California definitely has a housing problem and looking at its data is a worst case scenario that’ll skew your perception of what it’s like in America as a whole - this mine is in Nevada not California.

Also, I think the state has taken some positive action against NIMBY legislation but it will be a long fight to undo it. If things keep going SF is likely to run afoul of the build-positive regulations and end up suing the state/developers to fight needing to be in compliance. But again don’t see the relevance of California housing which is a municipal / state level issue to mining in Nevada on federal lands.
Very True. Completely. ChatGPT can detect and classify jokes it has already heard or "seen" but still fails to detect jokes it hasn't. Also, I was talking about Facebook Moderation AI and bots and not GPT. Last time I checked, Facebook isn't using ChatGPT to moderate content.
I agree that many people perceive this as an absolute truth, and I have to reluctantly acknowledge Milton Friedman's success in completely changing the narrative around corporate responsibilities. I don't think that the adoption of this narrative is due to the Internet though; the original Supreme Court decision of Dodge v. Ford legally enshrined it and the narrative has been actively taught for a long time. I know that I took it at face value for a long time as a result of my education along with the overwhelming share of my peers so I'd say this has been pushed by a broad segment of society.

At present we do rely on shareholders in different parts of society to fund new ventures -- most of us are here on HN because we worked at a VC-funded startup. Shareholders should get paid out. But workers have a stake in a company, the community has a stake in a company, and society at large has some small stake in a company. We shouldn't select shareholders as the main voting party in the operations of a company when the impacts of company operations are so much wider.

For good examples of companies whose impact was much larger than the shareholders, see also: DuPont/Chemours with PFAS, the manufacturers of CFCs, oil companies, etc.

Specifically, I have been saying that in normal PGP usage, the PGP MDC is not relevant. Since each message is self contained (no ongoing connection), it is better to authenticate the plaintext directly with a signature. For an unsigned message an attacker can replace the whole thing. For the case of symmetrical encryption, the PGP MDC is relevant. So it depends...

More: https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:authenticated (my article)

>the PGP MDC is as secure as an authenticated cipher mode.

It is. It turns out there is a class of authenticated encryption that involves first hashing the plaintext and then encrypting the plaintext and the hash. OCFB-MDC seems to be an instance of that class. That seems to defy conventional wisdom and as a result is interesting.

The Crash of '83 was precipitated mostly by the flopped release of E.T for the 2600. It's a game that was in such shoddy condition that you literally cannot finish it. It spent less than 8 weeks in development. People were so disappointed that it killed the market until quality software came back with the NES.

It's still in landfills today.
Barriers to entry were a lot higher, and distribution capacity was a lot lower. Surely you can see how the change in that combination could make for a significantly different reality now.

"Dithering" is adding noise to randomize quantization errors and to hide banding. The OPs post looks like just adding noise for getting a noisy look.
this is a very poignant argument as well. As we strive for 100% accuracy, are we even that accurate? Can we just strive for more accurate than "Bob"?

Both, unlike in the US the Swedish post office is privatized and handled by multiple companies, eg Citymail also offers postal services.

PostNord has won the tender with the Swedish transport authority though and as such is the one they should use.

PostNord is the result of the merger between the privatized (but state owned) Swedish and Danish postal services.

But also – union rights and postal rights needs to be weighed against each other here – both are important
I think you're right insofar as they are trying to reposition themselves as more trustworthy. I think they see the writing on the walls.

But at the end of the day, their ultimate end is to make more money. If they do the right thing it isn't out of some altruistic motive. It's because they think that by doing so will make them more money.
Similar experience here. I grabbed a few Clip Zip/Plus players in 2015 because I figured they'd get harder and harder to find (prices were ridiculous) and might still use one for music/audiobooks if it weren't for the fact that I pretty much exclusively use bluetooth now. They were fast, had amazing battery life, and just did what they did really well. Maybe I'm just "doing something wrong" (I've never made real use of a streaming service, strip my audiobooks of DRM and play them in a media player rather than a dedicated app etc) but the modern phone experience just seems like a step backward when it comes to this.
I’ve heard some form of this from every company fighting unions. If that’s really the case, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the finances of the company overall if the union is requesting less benefits?
Wikipedia says they produced 4M copies, sold 2.6M by the end of the year, but ultimately 3.5 M were returned as unsold or customer returns.

Wikipedia says, "Atari sold 1.25 million Space Invaders cartridges and over 1 million VCS systems in 1980, nearly doubling the install base to over 2 million, and then an estimated 3.1 million VCS systems in 1981", so if they thought E.T. was going to be as big of a hit as Space Invaders, 4M copies is actually low production. Pac-Man released in 1982, sold 7.2 M copies in 1982 and about 3M more in subsequent years.
I've heard some similarly wild shit on the other side - the market for illicit product designs.

There are these boutique one-man contracting shops, which are closed most of the time in places like Shanghai and Shenzhen. They are contracted to do R&D for manufacturers, and deliver on firmware, product design, software, etc. but again are one-man shops which are closed much of the time.

I am told this is how the pipeline of information works between state sponsored cyber attacks on big tech companies, and their Chinese competitors.

Talking about Defense contractors, I've heard stories from govvies I know about asian dudes following them around the DC area, constantly catching them looking over their shoulders at coffee shops.
I have no idea what that "could be" is referring to.

The article is about startups that went bankrupt, i fail to see what part of it is "could be" when it already happened.
The deal is that whoever gets the contract has to deliver to all of the nation, not just where it's profitable. UPS, GPS, DPD etc won't commit to that because they don't earn enough money on that. PostNord is the only one who does, and therefore they're the only ones who can win the contract.
> Seek isn't enough to accurately identify plants

Same for other apps that identify plants, insects, and spiders. It's very frustrating that the public is being sold fully-baked photo identification, when in reality the technology is not there. Especially bad though, as you mentioned, is that even if it were perfect there would still be uncertainty based on features that weren't or can't be photographed.

Exactly. When the train really gets rolling, us humans shouldn't eschew the value of being able to interact with the intelligences. For such quaint problems we'll have, it probably costs close to 0 effort to answer a question or two.

I'm picturing something like as an intreraction I'd like to have:

"Hey, do you mind listening to this song I made? I want to play it live, but am curious if there's any spots with frequencies that will be downright dangerous when played live at 100-110dB. I'm also curious if there's any spots that traditionally have been HATED by audiences, that I'm not aware of."

"Yeah, the song's pretty good! You do a weird thing in the middle with an A7 chord. It might not go over the best, but it's your call. The waves at 21k Hz need to go though. Those WILL damage someones ears."

"Ok, thanks a lot. By the way, if you need anything from me; just ask."
I maintain that that was an intelligent commentary on human nature, and that it has been misconstrued.

At this point the famed Swedish model shows its limits, IMHO.

> "It's about the Swedish collective agreement model, and there is a consensus on it, both politically and between the parties in the labour market, Seko's president Gabriella Lavecchia told Reuters by email.

And yet this is not a legal obligation, as far as I understand, and Tesla is acting lawfully. So the model seems to be that there are unwritten rules and that the whole country is allowed to club you into submission if you don't follow them.

At this point it seems that at least some form of legal obligation (you give an example) would clarify what is understood to be compulsory... Transparent rule of law is also a model for a good reason.

From the outside it's a little odd (at least to me) that the Swedes seem adamant that Tesla must accept a collective agreement and also that there is no need to make that the law. That's the peculiarity, IMHO.
Yes! That's pretty much how I would have thought about this with my puny little brain.

But... I'm not sure 1 parallel scan with 2 floating-point mults and 1 sum per step is faster than 2 parallel scans with 1 sum per step. I don't know which is better in theory or in practice. And then, wouldn't we have to think about how to sidestep all the numerical issues with the cumulative products?

Or am I missing something?
