Vietnam is a single party state capitalist system nominally called the Communist Party that teaches the same Marxist ideology as China.

Vietnam's head of state and head of party can serve just as many terms as Xi Jinping has so far.

Vietnam's system as all the same trappings as China's when it comes to political dissent or anything that can "undermine the territorial sovereignty and unity", an idea that can be used to control all facets of life. There are major human rights violations and concerns occurring there as well.

The general lack of trepidation about Vietnam, from the West, is solely due to Vietnam's irrelevancy, and Vietnam playing their own irrelevancy as friendliness for their own protection, it makes sense and they have no reason to do otherwise.

My only point here is that the primary issues we have with China is not their system, just their market power.

The trailer is a deliberate choice of the authors on what content to put in order to sell the game and present "the idea of the game". Not only that, but a lot of trailers are in form of a presentation with audio or text (more common) by the authors, where they deliberately emphasize what they think are strong points of the game. So in fact trailers, even very short ones, can tell a lot more than it's immediately obvious.

Neat. Even has pics of MMJ.
We have had a spate of mailbox thefts in and around Boston for many years now, sometimes right at the Post Offices themselves. The police set up stings and traps and catch one group, and then another group comes along and does the same thing. The USPS even replaced all of the old swinging door blue mailboxes with supposedly secure boxes that take letters only; the thieves simply switched up their techniques including stealing "universal keys" from postal workers.

The thing I didn't like about the second article ("We Can’t Stop Writing Paper Checks. Thieves Love That") is it implicitly blames consumers for the problem - how dare we use paper checks! As if we have a choice - many businesses such as contractors and government agencies ONLY take checks. Even if an alternative is offered such as Zelle or PayPal they have their own vulnerabilities and sometimes fees, such as the online payment services used by our municipal government.

Earlier this year I advised my parents to start using their bank's Bill Pay feature as an alternative to writing checks, and the bank screwed up, failing to send out about a half dozen checks while claiming that they did and not having any mechanism for proof of delivery.
Given Apple’s profit margin I doubt the costs per se are much of a factor. But I think there have been two administrations in a row that probably (hopefully?) reached out to “Tim Apple” and suggested he imagine a future in which stuff doesn’t come from China.

And if you’re looking for industrious, ambitious people who will definitely not be in China’s pocket, Vietnam is a great place to look.

I think your confidence is not only unfounded, but awfully convenient for someone who stands to benefit from the acceptability of piracy to consider.

Besides, "harm" here is not the core of my argument. Doing moral wrong is. It is wrong to lie to obtain something, and it is wrong to benefit from ill gotten gains.

These acts are wrong themselves, regardless of whether or not they cause pain directly. This is not a hedonist argument, the cause of pain through harm in all or even many cases is not necessary for the act to be wrong.
Person reports working extra hours. Person also reports feeling behind schedule.

I mean, is it really surprising these two are correlated? I'm pretty sure the causation works as follows: they're working extra hours because, like, they felt behind.

Some people who aren't behind may work extra hours anyway...for fun? But I'm guessing that's less people. Not to mention there's cognitive bias at play: these people might not even self-report that as "working extra hours".
And doesn't a "debugger" imply the existence of a "bugger"?

> If they had been provided the same number of calories, that would tell us that they were cheating less or something similar.

They were specifically told to snack as needed.

Given that they were told to eat until satisfied, and report that they were less satisfied, it seems that this study "proves" that the vegan diets used in this study are less satisfying than omnivorous diets, at least on average for a cohort who aren't used to vegan eating.

Hogwash, I think it's worth noting that this European system was intentionally backdoored.

Everybody plays the espionage game, Europe really is no exception, they just like to use the US to keep their hands (mostly) clean.
I’m plant based these days, and it’s not just that. I eat all sorts of things that taste fantastic, but they don’t hit that specific note. It’s something specific about the texture or I don’t even know. I think it might be a signifier of protein content, analogous to sweet taste signaling the presence of energy rich sugar.
Yes, inequality in society will exist, but such is the nature of the concept of property. Not everyone gets to access all property.

> The same tools developed to scan AI art for copyright infringement will trigger on their own works as well

Perhaps; frightened and angry people often can't see the consequences of the direction they're running in.

But: if the effort is the point of art, then "proof of work" is how that goes down, not your scenario. Filming the artist as they put oil to canvas etc.

> They want copyright to be more like patents.

Not patents, trademarks. Patents cover novel specific inventions for a few years, trademarks cover anything that's similar enough it might confuse a customer for as long as you maintain it.

And what I want is almost irrelevant, the question is the aggregate will of society. My preferences feel like they're negatively correlated with public opinion on the topics loud people discuss most.
> Like our literally job is about optimization. You think we'd be able to at least optimize a work day, or maybe a month?

There is lots written about this. Whole careers built on advice about it. It seems what works for some people does not work for others. My outline won't help you if you're in the valley but I'll write it out anyway, some people live elsewhere.

1/ Wake up early. Like daybreak early.

2/ Do not look at email, slack etc. No admin stuff at this point.

3/ Leisurely breakfast letting your mind wander. Historically cooked by wife, ymmv there.

4/ Spend the morning walking, thinking, writing things down. Especially write ideas down before lunch.

5/ It's midday. Optionally eat things. Open email.

6/ Entire afternoon is spent doing whatever "work" one found in the email. Put out the fires. Do the code reviews. Write whatever simple stuff seems to be required.

7/ It's evening. Try to forget the fires. Exercise helps.

8/ Spend the evening on research or socialising. Aim is to have interesting context for dreams.

9/ Sleep time.

That is relatively new to me - couple of months or so - and working really well. Note the complete lack of family activities - either that overlaps the afternoon fires or the morning creativity, or both. Opportunity cost is rough. No creative work for you if there's a toddler or an unsupportive partner present.

This morning-creative afternoon-productive split works really well if most of your colleagues are five hours west of you. They wake up in time to light things on fire. If they're five hours east, maybe swap the two blocks of time over. If they're in the same timezone and expect to talk to you all day, no creative work for you. Opportunity cost again.
Yet one is still paying fiat and getting ads. And for Prime I always saw ads no matter how much I paid. Perhaps that's changing with their new tier.
Nope, you keep forgetting the key ingredient; the "lookers" would need to agree to this arrangement in the first place. None of these things are foisted upon people without their consent, as you keep trying to claim. You agree to terms when you buy a copy of a work, both implicit and explicit, that forbit its further distribution.

Elon is smart enough and will make this work. Had it not been because of his purchase of Twitter, we would not have a free speech oriented social media in the world.

SolarCity ended up integrated in Tesla and the same could happen with Twitter.

It is also the best-selling car worldwide:

https://www.greencars.com/news/the-tesla-model-y-is-the-best...

And I think Tesla is destined to expand their lead.

Tesla is the only car company that pushes hard to be a software company. Musk correctly said that the future of Tesla mostly relies on how fast it achieves full self-driving without human intervention.

Buying any other car feels archaic. As a Tesla is the only car that gets better every few months via over the air updates.
Well 30 years ago owning your machine could be taken for granted. Today - not necessarily.
Nobody here is discussing laws except as an outline of expectations of the social contract.
> I have absolutely no trust in anything Musk touches.

The other side of the great-man fallacy is the fallacy of attributing all of the problems with their works to them.

If you look at 1) the near religious following of Tesla enthusiasts for the company's brand, 2) the inherent superiority of electric vehicles over ICE vehicles for the vast majority of everyday use cases, and 3) until very recently no real alternatives, it's not surprising that Tesla was able/willing to cut corners on aspects of quality.

I also would never buy a vehicle from them either. I specifically waited until a good EV alternative to them was available in my price range. The faux-dystopian-bro turn they've taken with the Cybertruck is a cynical play on people's current insecurities, and Musk's recent revealing of his inner thought processes lines up pretty well with my long held impressions of him. I also think it's pretty unwise to have them be the sole domestic provider of manned space-launch.

Despite all that, given their current position most of his companies are acting rationally in their choices. It's up to his competitors or government to put pressure to change the situation. Arguably the government has stepped up in the EV space by providing a lot of incentives.

The situation at Twitter on the other hand does seem to be the most direct reflection of Musk's personality and state of mind. There's very little rational about what he's doing with it (much like his original purchase of it for an inflated price).
It's interesting to observe the whole drama and now I'm getting the reason why Larry Summers is appointed as a board member. It's probably not because of external affairs, but to put Sam under control with an experienced politician. I also guess Satya initially offered a CEO position of the new MSFT subsidiary exactly because of this reason, but Sam refused so this might be a fallback plan. If my view happens to be correct, then Sam might not hold absolute powers on the company as what others expect.
I love this project. Enough said, we need more of this approach to software development. Software dev is about helping people solve problems.
This is the best comment I have ever seen on HN. Nailed it
That’s absolutely false.

1) statistical intervals are mathematical artifacts of our techniques that describe the samples observed and trained on. They aren’t ground truth observations of the underlying process or populations. We put too much weight in them.

2) you can absolutely observe precision and recall from online performance and compare that directly against human performance on known labeled data. From that you can determine which has the better error rates. That is entirely sufficient for almost all practical use cases.

3) obviously it would be better if we could derive confidence of a classification, but given the fact LLMs aren’t directly reasoning or optimizing the statistical properties of some mathematical problem they will never have the same character as say regressions or other statistical techniques that are some form of mathematical optimizer. They’re just solving the problem in fundamentally different ways.

4) it’s not clear to me statistical optimization is a universally superior technique. The reality is many problems are better solved with an abductive reasoning technique like LLMs exhibit, and humans absolutely use when classifying. There are lots of awesome features such as the ability to inspect residuals and confidence intervals, and they’re generally computationally cheap. But for all that their absolute utility in the real world is fairly limited, especially when considering complex non linear tasks with huge latent spaces that are unobservable.

Your last two paragraphs are bang on the money.

Manufacturing is moving to Vietnam because it is politically, economically and militarily weak enough that it can easily be bullied into compliance/submission by the US in case it ever decides to go rogue and threaten US investments, or have the audacity to spin it's own domestic champions to compete with US players.

China was also like that 30 years ago but has now become strong and influential enough that it can not longer be bullied into just being the submissive sweatshop of the world it once was.

Indeed! I bought that car because there was $10K in government cheese against a cost of around $30K. It meant I got a decent car, got to experience EV ownership (that I was curious about/interested in), and all for ~$20K.

The alternative for me was never going to be a $50K EV, but rather a $10K used ICE car. I'm happy with the choice overall and while we can technically afford any new car we wanted, spending more than that felt wasteful, so the tradeoffs you mention are entirely real forces on both Nissan and prospective Leaf buyers.
I think idiocy and short-term self-interest is more at play here, than any 4D chess shenanigans.
Just like how lottery is supposed to increase funding for schools but the amount thay got brought in due to lottery was then subtracted from other sources so it was a wash.

I'm assuming this is going to be the same thing unless it's earmarked for public transportation by law instead of going into a general fund. Just like gas tax and car tabs in other states that goes to "fixing the roads by people that use it the most".
In London, we have a inner congestion zone, which is surrounded by a ultra low emission zone. The low emission zone only requires your car to be a few years old, though it has a bigger impact on vans and lorries.
I think Godot started before Rust took off, so they didn't have better alternatives then. The jury is still out on whether other C++ competition has any staying power, and even Rust still has some deficiencies compared to C++
Frankly, too bad. You benefit every waking moment from the social contract, and in particular the social contract is exactly what made these works you love so much available in the first place. If you don't agree to the social contract, you can opt out by either leaving society generally, or at the very least not consuming the works that were created as a result of its existence.

The very fact that you pirate the work demonstrates you buy into the social contract at least enough to benefit. And if you benefit without contributing/consenting, you're considered a "free rider".

> There will also be discounts for low-incomes motorists (below $50,000 per year) who need the car to get around. However, as a 2022 study pointed out, most drivers who enter Manhattan have medium or high incomes, meaning only 4% of drivers will receive a discount

I read this as "96% of drivers will be fine." Do you have other information to add here? Would be interested if so.
As a former EU citizen: Because it's true? The EU has failed to enable big tech competitors to grow on it's countries. And instead of fixing the political, socio-economical issues, it continues to bully a) the US (which delivers actual solutions/products) and b) its very own citizens with things like dismantling end-to-end decryption / mandatory full access to chats (mind you not for the EU politicians themselves, of course, see Biontech deals that von der Leyen "lost").

And where is the EU citizens' election regarding said chat control? Where is the election regarding commission president? Would you think von der Leyen were actually elected president, had the population been given the chance to vote?
