It is an interesting narrative but largely untrue. As the article points out, US Steel (and the US steel industry in general) was making enough profit, what they were not doing was re-investing those profits into upgrading their steel making. Instead, the "People in Charge" were giving themselves large bonuses and pay upgrades for being bosses of the "big steel." This was especially true through the 80's and 90's in a post "stagflation" atmosphere a lot of industry became more focused on executive pay than product production. The poster child was the auto industry "forgetting" how to make quality cars. They didn't forget of course, they just focused more on shoveling money into the C-suite and less on actually building a quality product. The massive erosion of the car market to Japanese automakers was a direct result of that shift of thinking.

I just upgraded to the top M3 Max CPU from the top M2 Max CPU.

I benchmarked several test suites to compare the machines. The test suites for two different Rails applications were around 10% faster on the M3 Max. A test suite for a Go web application that does significant integration testing in parallel (i.e. multiple complete stacks of database, application server, and browser) improved by around 20%. The extra P-cores help. Miscellaneous other tests and benchmarks were around 7-10% faster.

Didn't notice any difference in normal usage.

So not likely worth the upgrade unless your workload can really make use of the extra cores.

86% of revenue of Mozilla corp are royalties, which encompasses any search engine that shares revenue with Firefox, not just Google. But the remaining 14% is not only revenue generated by Firefox, but also by e.g. Pocket. So from their financial statement, it's pretty hard to say what percentage of Firefox's revenue is derived from Google.

I'm not sure if that's already exposed as an option, but if you're happy to run this app locally, then LiteLlm exposes local models using the OpenAI API. That means you only need to change the endpoint, tell LiteLlm to use for example Mistral and it should "just work". Even if not implemented yet, it would be a trivial change.
Eh, NIT and any sort of UBI are mathematically the same thing given you still have an income tax and can adjust the percentage. This just accomplishes that goal in a progressive way.
This 2 1/2 year old article has a strange title, compared to content.

Apparently Toyota was lobbying for hybrids and h2(which are 100% electric) to be included in incentives.

That's hardly anti-electric, and there are many, many people that need more range. Hybrids and H2 are answers to that.

An example? Most days a hybrid would get me around just fine, using only electric. Other times I have to drive well beyond electric range, and sometimes for days.

It doesn't matter what "but, you could.." statements someone makes, that's what I need. Hands down. And Toyota provides all options.

This is a good thing. And driving on electric is a win, hybrid or not.

And so this Verge article is quite odd.

I keep Netflix subscription most out of loyalty than anything else. I've had Amazon prime since it was first introduced but may drop it after the recent announcement.

I also tend to rent from Amazon if it's not on netflix, but if it's on neither or I disagree with the rent price or they don't allow you to rent, I just pirate.

I'm ok with them having my money, but once they started pulling everything off of netflix the entire landscape because anti-consumer. Their greed lost them my money.
I went the complete opposite of you. I enjoy being able run everything on my laptop, be it at home, at a cafe, at work or on the train. So I’ve maxed out a MacBook Pro instead. It doesn’t have 96 cores, but it’ll go head to head with your dev workstation and even let me play around with LLMs locally. Fans as usually silent, except when using the GPU for LLMs.

Getting hired isn't about what you have done, it is about what you will do in the future. Sure, you need to have a base level of competence and your history need to show that. But once you have shown that, you are competing with everyone else out there that also has shown the same thing. Hiring managers are then trying to figure out who can deliver the most/best work for the least cost.

So rather than focusing on your newer engineering skills, you could focus on roles where your DA and business skills will enhance the engineering and make you more appealing than the others. Finding those roles is not going to be about the coding, but about your subject matter knowledge - look for roles where the coding supports DA or business processes. Or where the subject matter of the product matches past industry experience.

PSK authentication works both ways. If the network does not know your entered passphrase, your device won't connect to it.

The same is true for some (but not all) WPA enterprise EAP authentication methods (EAP-PWD uses it, for example); others do use public key certificates (like anything based on EAP-TTLS/EAP-PEAP). In case of EAP-PEAP-MPSCHAPv2 you even get both.

In the defence of the creator, I assume they're goal was not to create a "newsletter manager", they probably just saw that as low hanging fruit to relieve some of the pain of managing an inbox.

I can easily see them adding more and more features which improve email and nudge users to inbox zero.

I think this is a decent starting point, and for a repo that is only 5 months old, it looks like they've done a decent job of understanding a good UX, and showing the user the emails they are most likely going to want to archive, etc.

Before becoming a software developer, I spent 9 years as an HVAC technician, 5 of which were as an installer. One responsibility would be retrofitting new equipment into peoples homes, removing their sometimes 60-80 year old furnace/boiler. When I would take out such old systems, I would always get the same questions from the homeowner, “So this is going to last me another 60 years right?” In my head I would always laugh but kindly reply, “You’ll be lucky if you get 15 out of this one.”, which would be met with a look of disappointment and awe. Even the most expensive (and somewhat dangerous) appliances in your home are made as cheap as possible. The days you were taking out a 1920s boiler were some of the worst days. They were installed to stay forever.

Being able to change the ordering of effects on the fly is a benefit of algebraic-effect systems. As you mentioned `State<S, Result<E, T>>` and `Result<E, State<S, T>>`have very different effects. Algebraic-effects let you switch between the two behaviors when you run the effects, whereas with monad transformers you have to refactor all your code to use `State<S, Result<E, T>>` instead of `Result<E, State<S, T>>` or vice-versa

I don't feel that you're replying to what the parent poster is actually saying. It's not about asking farmers to make these changes by themselves and without any sort of extra compensation. It's that we really should be looking at the entire system.

If farmers couldn't afford to pay reasonable wages _and_ turn a profit, then, at the system level, the externality of those lost wages is being paid somewhere else _by_ someone else. We're just not recognizing that externality or worse, it's being hidden.

And frequently in situations like this, where people aren't being paid livable wages, they turn to theft and other crimes. So one of the "externalities" we're talking about here is an increased crime rate. We then pay police to try to curb that, who are remarkably inefficient at reducing crime, so we have to over-pay to try to achieve that goal.

If, instead, we formally recognized that externality and addressed it at the source -- for instance, like the parent poster suggested, by subsidies (which would almost certainly be cheaper than the increased police budget that addressing that externality would otherwise demand in our current climate) -- then farmers could pay reasonable wages and keep or even increase their margins to a comfortable level. It's not in our best interests to keep farmers poor or just scraping by either!
The legality of what humans can and cannot do relative to copyright and the infringement thereof does not apply to LLMs, because LLMs are not human beings. An LLM being trained on copyrighted material is not equivalent to a human being seeing or "being influenced by" copyrighted material, because LLMs are not human beings. And even if it could be proven that the methods by which LLMs operate and human brains operate were essentially the same - which as far as I know, it hasn't - there would be no reason to assume the rights and privileges granted to human beings must de facto apply to LLMs, because LLMs are not human beings.
Hi there grumpyprole, so, this is a site where we interact as a community, and have discussions. You're replying as if you think it's StackOverflow. What I did was read TFA (the README) and determine that I could not understand from that resource what problem was being addressed or what the solution being proposed was. But I didn't need to start this thread at all if I was simply trying to find out what TFA was doing; I am capable of researching that myself.

Perhaps you're now thinking "well isn't it lazy of you to ask in this thread instead of researching it yourself?" And if you're thinking that then you misapprehend what this site is about. By asking the question, I was hoping that someone knowledgable who likes sharing their knowledge would contribute an explanation, and in the discussion thus-generated perhaps interesting things would occur or be learned, or at any rate it might be enjoyable to participants.

Hopefully you can see now that your replies are way off-base. If you don't want to explain this subject then that is perfectly fine; you don't need to tell us that.
Monads don’t compose, effects do. ‘IO a’ works great until until you need to add another effect, for example ‘Maybe’. Then you need to bring in monad transformers and create your own monad combining the two, then rewrite all your code to lift the effects from one monad to the other. And you have to do this every time you want to add a new effect.
I'm not sure why you think that Exelon didn't consider regulatory risk as one of the things that made it not make sense for them. It was certainly a large factor.

The idea that existing nuclear power plants are losing money because they aren't operationally competitive with oil and gas does not square with the facts. The total cost of running a nuclear plant is 30% less than oil and gas per kilowatt-hour. And if all our nuclear plants weren't 50 years old and saddled with massive overregulation, the operation and maintenance of a nuclear plant would probably be equivalent to running a fossil fueled power plant, which would cut ANOTHER 30% off the cost of nuclear because fuel costs of fossil fueled power plants are 4 times the cost of nuclear fuel per kwh.

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_04.html

And as for construction costs, you can see that the massive increase in construction costs in the early 60s and 70s was because regulation required enormous increases in staffing, which ballooned labor costs.

https://ifp.org/nuclear-power-plant-construction-costs/

And even so a nuclear plant should be expected to be profitable as long as you can manage to operate it for long enough without the government shutting you down (one of the major regulatory risks I mentioned).

Nuclear power plants in the past generally took 7 years to build and pay off in 16-24 years. While a natural gas plant can be built in 2 years and pay off in 8 years. Nuclear power plants are so cost effective tho, that if you can manage to run it for 17 years, you'll make more money than running a natural gas plant.

> how can you make sure the arguments are made in good faith

Also, as a Lisp programmer, I absolutely loved reading the section at https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/book.html#sec-handlers - it's essentially like using the Common Lisp condition system, making me feel at home, except it's more generalized (e.g. masking individual condition handlers is not generally possible in CL) and also working in a strongly statically typed environment.

> creating an entirely new history that nobody has ever actually examined

I think the confusion here is that you're assuming that OP's commit history looks like yours, with dozens of commits per PR that no one could possibly examine in detail with each rebase. At least for me, since I'm okay with rewriting history on local branches, I have a very small number of commits that do get examined each time I rebase.

I average 3-4 commits per PR. There's usually one that refactors the existing code to lay the foundation for a new feature, maybe one that just moves a few files around (to ensure git recognizes them as moves and not delete/recreate), and 1-2 that introduce the new feature.

When I rebase on main, I examine the diff for each commit before pushing to my branch. If something has meaningfully changed, then I adjust the commits appropriately.

My commits aren't a history of what actually happened, they're a description of the steps that it takes to add a feature to (or fix a bug in) main. If main changes in a way that introduces a conflict, I want to reevaluate each step that I'd previously laid out.
